C. Right to Extend the Lease. The provisions of Section 3.3 of the Lease entitled “Right to Extend this Lease”, as amended by Section III.D of the First Amendment, shall be deleted in their entirety and substituted therefor shall be the following:

“SECTION 3.3. RIGHT TO EXTEND THIS LEASE. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred under any provision of this Lease, either at the time of exercise of the extension right granted herein or at the time of the commencement of such extension, and provided further that Tenant is occupying the entire Premises and has not assigned or sublet any of its interest in this Lease, then Tenant may extend the Term of this Lease for 1 extension period of 36 months. Tenant shall exercise its right to extend the Term by and only by delivering to Landlord, not less than 9 months or more than 12 months prior to the Expiration Date of the Term, Tenant’s irrevocable written notice of its commitment to extend (the “Commitment Notice”). The Basic Rent payable under the Lease during any extension of the Term shall be determined as provided in the following provisions.

If Landlord and Tenant have not by then been able to agree upon the Basic Rent for the extension of the Term, then not less than 90 days or more than 120 days prior to the Expiration Date of the Term, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the Basic Rent that would reflect the prevailing market rental rate for a 36-month renewal of comparable space in the Project (together with any increases thereof during the extension period) as of the commencement of the extension period (“Landlord’s Determination”). Should Tenant disagree with the Landlord’s Determination, then Tenant shall, not later than 20 days thereafter, notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s determination of those rental terms (“Tenant’s Determination”). Within 10 days following delivery of the Tenant’s Determination, the parties shall attempt to agree on an appraiser to determine the fair market rental. If the parties are unable to agree in that time, then each party shall designate an appraiser within 10 days thereafter. Should either party fail to so designate an appraiser within that time, then the appraiser designated by the other party shall determine the fair market rental. Should each of the parties timely designate an appraiser, then the two appraisers so designated shall appoint a third appraiser who shall, acting alone, determine the fair market rental for the Premises. Any appraiser designated hereunder shall have an MAI certification with not less than 5 years experience in the valuation of commercial industrial buildings in the vicinity of the Project.

Within 30 days following the selection of the appraiser and such appraiser’s receipt of the Landlord’s Determination and the Tenant’s Determination, the appraiser shall determine whether the rental rate determined by Landlord or by Tenant more accurately reflects the fair market rental rate for the 36-month renewal of the Lease for the Premises, as


reasonably extrapolated to the commencement of the extension period. Accordingly, either the Landlord’s Determination or the Tenant’s Determination shall be selected by the appraiser as the fair market rental rate for the extension period. In making such determination, the appraiser shall consider rental comparables for the Project (provided that if there are an insufficient number of comparables within the Project, the appraiser shall consider rental comparables for similarly improved space owned by Landlord in the vicinity of the Project with appropriate adjustment for location and quality of project), but the appraiser shall not attribute any factor for brokerage commissions in making its determination of the fair market rental rate. At any time before the decision of the appraiser is rendered, either party may, by written notice to the other party, accept the rental terms submitted by the other party, in which event such terms shall be deemed adopted as the agreed fair market rental. The fees of the appraiser(s) shall be borne entirely by the party whose determination of the fair market rental rate was not accepted by the appraiser.

Within 20 days after the determination of the fair market rental, Landlord shall prepare an appropriate amendment to this Lease for the extension period, and Tenant shall execute and return same to Landlord within 10 days after Tenant’s receipt of same. Should the fair market rental not be established by the commencement of the extension period, then Tenant shall continue paying rent at the rate in effect during the last month of the initial Term, and a lump sum adjustment shall be made promptly upon the determination of such new rental.

If Tenant fails to timely exercise the extension right granted herein within the time period expressly set forth for exercise by Tenant in the initial paragraph of this Section, Tenant’s right to extend the Term shall be extinguished and the Lease shall automatically terminate as of the expiration date of the Term, without any extension and without any liability to Landlord. Tenant’s rights under this Section shall belong solely to Local Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and any attempted assignment or transfer of such rights shall be void and of no force and effect. Tenant shall have no other right to extend the Term beyond the single 36-month extension period created by this Section. Unless agreed to in a writing signed by Landlord and Tenant, any extension of the Term, whether created by an amendment to this Lease or by a holdover of the Premises by Tenant, or otherwise, shall be deemed a part of, and not in addition to, any duly exercised extension period permitted by this Section.”

D. Security Deposit. Concurrently with Tenant’s delivery of this Amendment, Tenant shall deliver the sum of Thirteen Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty-Nine Dollars ($13,459.00) to Landlord, which sum shall be added to the Security Deposit presently being held by Landlord in accordance with Section III.B of the Second Amendment.

E. Signage.

(i) Effective as of the Commencement Date for the 7525 Irvine Center Drive Premises, the first two sentences of Section 5.2 of the Lease, as amended by Section III.F of the First Amendment, shall be deleted in their entirety and substituted therefor shall be the following:

“Provided Tenant continues to occupy the entire Premises, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to one (1) exterior “eyebrow” sign on the Building for Tenant’s name and graphics in a location designated by Landlord, subject to Landlord’s right of prior approval that such exterior signage is in compliance with the Signage Criteria (defined below). Except as provided in the foregoing, and except for Landlord’s standard suite signage identifying Tenant’s name and/or logo and installed at a location designated by Landlord, Tenant shall have no right to maintain signs in any location in, on or about the Premises, the Building or the Project and shall not place or erect any signs that are visible from the exterior of the Building.”

(ii) Effective as of the Commencement Date for the 7525 Irvine Center Drive Premises, Section 5.2 of the Lease, as amended by Section III.F of the First Amendment, is further amended by added the following sentences:

“Tenant’s exterior signage rights under this Section 5.2 belong solely to Local Corporation, and any attempted assignment or transfer of such rights shall be void and of no force and effect. Should Tenant fail to have the exterior signage installed on or before December 31, 2015, then Tenant’s right to install same thereafter shall be deemed null and void.”


F. HVAC.

(i) Effective as of the Commencement Date for the 7525 Irvine Center Drive Premises, the fifth (5th) sentence of Section 6.1 of the Lease, as amended by Section III.G of the First Amendment, shall be deleted in its entirety and substituted therefor shall be the following:

““After hours” shall mean usage of said unit(s) before 6:00 A.M. or after 6:00 P.M. on Mondays through Fridays, before 9:00 A.M. or after 1:00 P.M. on Saturdays with Tenant’s request, and all day on Sundays and nationally-recognized holidays, subject to reasonable adjustment of said hours by Landlord.”

(ii) Tenant understands and agrees the existing supplemental HVAC units (the “Supplemental HVAC Units”) servicing the Premises are hereby leased to Tenant in an “as-is” condition, without warranty of any kind, and without any further obligation on Landlord’s part whatsoever. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the maintenance, repair, relocation and replacement of the Supplemental HVAC Units during the Term of this Lease.

G. Brokers. Article XVIII of the Lease is amended to provide that the parties recognize the following parties as the brokers who negotiated this Amendment, and agree that Landlord shall be responsible for payment of brokerage commissions to such brokers pursuant to its separate agreements with such brokers: Irvine Realty Company (“Landlord’s Broker”) is the agent of Landlord exclusively and Colliers International (“Tenant’s Broker”) is the agent of Tenant exclusively. By the execution of this Amendment, each of Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and confirm (a) receipt of a copy of a Disclosure Regarding Real Estate Agency Relationship conforming to the requirements of California Civil Code 2079.16, and (b) the agency relationships specified herein, which acknowledgement and confirmation is expressly made for the benefit of Tenant’s Broker. If there is no Tenant’s Broker so identified herein, then such acknowledgement and confirmation is expressly made for the benefit of Landlord’s Broker. By the execution of this Amendment, Landlord and Tenant are executing the confirmation of the agency relationships set forth herein. The warranty and indemnity provisions of Article XVIII of the Lease, as amended hereby, shall be binding and enforceable in connection with the negotiation of this Amendment.

H. Acceptance of the 7525 Irvine Center Drive Premises. Tenant acknowledges that the lease of the 7525 Irvine Center Drive Premises pursuant to this Amendment shall be subject to the acknowledgements set forth in Section 2.2 of the Lease, and shall be on an “as-is” basis without further obligation on Landlord’s part as to improvements whatsoever, except Landlord shall (i) touch-up paint the painted wall surfaces in the 7525 Irvine Center Drive Premises, and (ii) shampoo the carpet in the 7525 Irvine Center Drive Premises.

I. Contingency. Tenant understands and agrees that the effectiveness of this Amendment is contingent upon the mutual execution of a lease surrender and termination agreement for the 7525 Irvine Center Drive Premises between Landlord and HGST, Inc., the current tenant in possession of the 7525 Irvine Center Drive Premises.

 

IV. GENERAL.
