Exhibit 99.1
 
First Amendment to Office Lease

This First Amendment to Office Lease (the "Amendment") is made and entered into as of June 1, 2012 (the "Amendment Date") by and between LEGACY PARTNERS I RIVERPARK I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Landlord"), and PDF SOLUTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant"), with reference to the following facts.

Recitals

A.            Landlord and Tenant have entered into that certain Office Lease dated as of June 29, 2007 (the "Lease") (for Tenant's reference purposes only, PDF doc# 514-1235-2162), for the leasing of certain premises consisting of approximately 49,789 rentable square feet located at 333 West San Carlos Street, San Jose, California (the "Premises") as such Premises are more fully described in the Lease.
 
B.            Landlord and Tenant now desire to amend the Lease to (i) reduce the size of the Premises by approximately 21,171 square feet (the "Reduction Premises"), which Reduction Premises are shown on  Exhibit A  attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, (ii) extend the Term of the Lease, and (iii) otherwise modify the Lease, all upon the terms and conditions hereafter set forth in this Amendment.

C.            Except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, all capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the same meanings given such terms in the Lease.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.           Termination of Reduction Premises. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the Lease with respect to the Reduction Premises shall terminate and be of no further force and effect as of 12:01 a.m. on October 1, 2013 (the "RP Termination Date").  Effective as of the RP Termination Date, the definition of the "Premises" shall be modified so that the Reduction Premises shall no longer be included within such definition and, from and after the RP Termination Date, the Premises shall consist of approximately 28,618 square feet of rentable area, consisting of 19,670 rentable square feet of space located on the fifth (5 th ) floor of the Building and designated as Suite 500, and 8,948 rentable square feet of space located on the tenth (10 th ) floor of the Building and designated as Suite 1000.    Notwithstanding such termination of the Lease with respect to the Reduction Premises or surrender of the Reduction Premises pursuant to Section 2 below, any and all obligations of Tenant under the Lease, as amended hereby, with respect to the Reduction Premises which are to survive any termination or surrender thereof shall continue to survive such termination and surrender.

2.           Surrender of the Reduction Premises.  On or prior to the RP Termination Date, Tenant shall vacate and surrender to Landlord exclusive possession of the Reduction Premises in good order, repair and condition in accordance with all of the provisions of the Lease relating thereto, including, without limitation, in the condition required under  Article 15  of the Lease.  In the event Tenant fails to vacate and surrender exclusive possession of the Reduction Premises to Landlord on or prior to the RP Termination Date in such condition, the holdover provisions of  Article 16  of the Lease shall apply.

3.           Term.  The Term of the Lease is hereby extended until September 30, 2018 (the "Revised Expiration Date"), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lease.  The 60-month period from and after the RP Termination Date through the Revised Expiration Date shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Extended Term".

4.           Base Rent.  From and after the Amendment Date, the Summary and Section 3.1 of the Lease is hereby modified to provide that the monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be as set forth in the following schedule:

Period | Monthly Installment of Base Rent | Monthly Rental Rate per Rentable Square Foot
Amendment Date – 9/30/12 | $160,320.58 | $3.22
10/1/12 – 9/30/13 | $165,299.48* | $3.32
10/1/13 – 9/30/14 | $68,683.20 | $2.40
10/1/14 – 9/30/15 | $70,686.46 | $2.47
10/1/15 – 9/30/16 | $72,975.90 | $2.55
10/1/16 – 9/30/17 | $74,979.16 | $2.62
10/1/17 – 9/30/18 | $77,268.60 | $2.70

*Tenant shall not be obligated to pay monthly Base Rent for the period commencing May 16, 2013 and ending September 30, 2013 (for a total rent abatement amount of $743,848), so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease, as more particularly described in the immediately following sentence.  If, at any time, Tenant is in default of any material term, condition or provision of this Lease beyond applicable notice and grace periods, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any express or implicit waiver by Landlord of Tenant's requirement to pay monthly Base Rent during any period of time from and after the Amendment Date shall be null and void and Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord all monthly Base Rent so expressly or implicitly waived by Landlord.

 

 
 
5.           Tenant's Percentage.  During the Extended Term, the Lease shall be modified to provide that Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses and Utilities Costs (as defined in the Summary) shall be 9.73%.

6.           Condition of the Premises.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its possession of the Premises during the Extended Term, is a continuation of Tenant's possession of the Premises under the Lease.  Tenant is familiar with the condition of the Premises, and agrees to accept the Premises in their existing condition "AS IS", without any obligation of Landlord to remodel, improve or alter the Premises, to perform any other construction or work of improvement upon the Premises, or to provide Tenant with any construction or refurbishing allowance; provided, however, Landlord shall construct certain Tenant Improvements in the Premises in accordance with the terms of  Exhibit B  attached hereto and incorporated herein.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Tenant Improvements will be installed and constructed by Landlord in the Premises during the period of Tenant's occupancy of the Premises; however the completion of such Tenant Improvements therein shall not affect Tenant's obligation to pay Rent and to perform all of Tenant's covenants and obligations under the Lease. Tenant hereby expressly (i) agrees that Tenant shall have no right or claim to any abatement, offset or other deduction of the amount of Rent payable by Tenant for the Premises due to the installation and construction of any of the Tenant Improvements, (ii) grants Landlord access to any and all of the Premises to perform the Tenant Improvements, (iii) waives any rights or claims Tenant may have at law or in equity with respect to any interference with Tenant's conduct of its operations in and about the Premises during the pendency of the work associated with the Tenant Improvements (except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord), and (iv) agrees not to interfere, and not to allow any of Tenant's Representatives to interfere, with Landlord and its contractors, representatives and consultants in the performance of the Tenant Improvements, provided that reasonable and occasional requests for short term breaks (i.e., not more than a few hours) without construction noise, etc. in the event of special need (e.g., public earnings call in adjacent conference room or outside visitors, etc.) shall be deemed not to constitute interference hereunder.  In the performance of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord agrees to commence and diligently pursue the same to completion and to use commercially reasonable efforts not to materially interfere, and not to allow any of its contractors and agents to materially interfere, with Tenant's operations in and about the Premises.  In the event Landlord does not complete the Tenant Improvements within thirty (30) days after the completion date for construction as set forth in an agreed upon schedule for construction (the "Outside Completion Date"), so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease, as more particularly described in Section 4 above, Tenant shall receive one (1) day free of Base Rent for each day beyond the Outside Completion Date that Landlord fails to so complete the Tenant Improvements.

7.           Parking.  As of the Amendment Date, Section 11 of the Summary shall be modified to provide that Tenant shall rent throughout the Extended Term 2.4 parking passes for every 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises, for a total of sixty-nine (69) unreserved parking passes.  Tenant shall pay Landlord for such parking passes in accordance with the terms of  Article 23  of the Lease.  The current rates for parking passes are $130 per unreserved parking pass per month and $200 per reserved parking pass per month.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing as of April 1, 2012, Tenant shall have the right to use up to 100 unreserved parking passes free of charge by Landlord until such time as 60% of the rentable square footage of the adjacent building located at 300 Park Avenue, San Jose, California, commonly known as Riverpark Tower II ("Riverpark Tower II") is leased as such lease percentage is reasonably determined by Landlord and evidenced to Tenant upon request.  Once Landlord so determines that Riverpark Tower II has been over 60% leased, Tenant's right to free parking shall only apply to 90 unreserved parking passes for the remainder of the Extended Term.

8.             Option to Renew.  Effective as of the Amendment Date, the following is added as a new Article 25 to the Lease:

"ARTICLE 25
OPTION TO RENEW

25.1.           Grant of Extension Option.  Subject to the provisions, limitations and conditions set forth in Section 25.5  below, Tenant shall have an option ("Option") to extend the Term of the Lease for an additional three (3) year term (the " Optional Extended Term").

25.2.           Tenant's Option Notice.  Tenant shall have the right to deliver written notice to Landlord of its intent to exercise this Option (the "Option Notice").  If Landlord does not receive the Option Notice from Tenant on a date which is neither more than fifteen (15) months nor less than twelve (12) months prior to the end of the Term of the Lease, all rights under this Option shall automatically terminate and shall be of no further force or effect.  Upon the proper exercise of this Option, subject to the provisions, limitations and conditions set forth in Section 25.5 below, the Term of the Lease shall be extended for the Optional Extended Term.

25.3.           Establishing the Initial Monthly Base Rent for the Optional Extended Term.  The initial monthly Base Rent for the Optional Extended Term shall be equal to the then Fair Market Rental Rate, as hereinafter defined.  As used herein, the "Fair Market Rental Rate" payable by Tenant for the Optional Extended Term shall mean the Base Rent for the highest and best use for comparable space at which non-equity tenants, as of the commencement of the lease term for the Optional Extended Term, will be leasing non-sublease, non-equity, unencumbered space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises for a comparable term, which comparable space is located in the Building and in other comparable buildings in the downtown San Jose Central Business District market area, taking into consideration all out-of-pocket concessions generally being granted at such time for such comparable space, including the condition and value of existing tenant improvements in the Premises.  The Fair Market Rental Rate shall include the periodic rental increases that would be included for space leased for the period of the Optional Extended Term.

 

 
 
If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Optional Extended Term within ten (10) days of receipt by Landlord of the Option Notice for the Optional Extended Term, Landlord and Tenant each, at its cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall appoint a competent and impartial commercial real estate broker (hereinafter "broker") with at least ten (10) years' full-time commercial real estate brokerage experience in the geographical area of the Premises to set the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Optional Extended Term.  If either Landlord or Tenant does not appoint a broker within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its broker, the single broker appointed shall be the sole broker and shall set the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Optional Extended Term.  If two (2) brokers are appointed by Landlord and Tenant as stated in this paragraph, they shall meet promptly and attempt to set the Fair Market Rental Rate.  In addition, if either of the first two (2) brokers fails to submit their opinion of the Fair Market Rental Rate within the time frames set forth below, then the single Fair Market Rental Rate submitted shall automatically be the initial monthly Base Rent for the Optional Extended Term and shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.  If the two (2) brokers are unable to agree within ten (10) days after the second broker has been appointed, they shall attempt to select a third broker, meeting the qualifications stated in this paragraph within ten (10) days after the last day the two (2) brokers are given to set the Fair Market Rental Rate.  If the two (2) brokers are unable to agree on the third broker, either Landlord or Tenant by giving ten (10) days' written notice to the other party, can apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the county in which the Premises is located for the selection of a third broker who meets the qualifications stated in this paragraph.  Landlord and Tenant each shall bear one-half (½) of the cost of appointing the third broker and of paying the third broker's fee.  The third broker, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either Landlord or Tenant.  Within fifteen (15) days after the selection of the third broker, the third broker shall select one of the two Fair Market Rental Rates submitted by the first two brokers as the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Optional Extended Term.  The determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate by the third broker shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

Upon determination of the initial monthly Base Rent for the Optional Extended Term pursuant to the terms outlined above, Landlord and Tenant shall immediately execute, at Landlord's sole option, either the standard lease agreement then in use by Landlord, or an amendment to the Lease and the guarantor of the Lease shall execute a reaffirmation of the Guaranty.  Such new lease agreement or amendment, as the case may be, shall set forth among other things, the initial monthly Base Rent for the Optional Extended Term and the actual commencement date and expiration date of the Optional Extended Term.  Tenant shall have no other right to further extend the Term of the Lease under this Section 25 unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise expressly agree in writing.

25.4.           Condition of Premises and Brokerage Commissions for the Optional Extended Term.  If Tenant timely and properly exercises this Option, in strict accordance with the terms contained herein: (1) Tenant shall accept the Premises in its then "As-Is" condition and, accordingly, Landlord shall not be required to perform any additional improvements to the Premises; (2) Tenant hereby agrees that it will be solely responsible for any and all brokerage commissions and finder's fees payable to any broker now or hereafter procured or hired by Tenant or who otherwise claims a commission based on any act or statement of Tenant ("Tenant's Broker") in connection with the Option, and (3) the Guarantor executes, acknowledges and delivers a reaffirmation of all of its obligations under the Guaranty.  Tenant hereby further agrees that Landlord shall in no event or circumstance be responsible for the payment of any such commissions and fees to Tenant's Broker, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord free and harmless against any liability, claim, judgment, or damages with respect thereto, including attorneys' fees and costs.

25.5.           Limitations On, and Conditions To, Extension Option.  This Option is personal to Tenant and may not be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, separate from or as part of the Lease.  At Landlord's option, all rights of Tenant under this Option shall terminate and be of no force or effect if any of the following individual events occur or any combination thereof occur: (1) Tenant has been in default at any time during the Term of the Lease, or is in default of any material provision of the Lease on the date Landlord receives the Option Notice; and/or (2) Tenant has assigned its rights and obligations under all or part of the Lease or Tenant has subleased all or part of the Premises; and/or (3) Tenant's financial condition is unacceptable to Landlord at the time the Option Notice is delivered to Landlord or Landlord's lender disapproves the Option terms; and/or (4) Tenant has failed to exercise properly this Option in a timely manner in strict accordance with the provisions of this Article 25; and/or (5) Tenant no longer has possession of all or any part of the Premises under the Lease, or if the Lease has been terminated earlier, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease.
 
25.6.           Time is of the Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to each and every time period set forth in this Article 25."

9.           Representations of Tenant.  Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord the following:  (i) Tenant has not heretofore sublet the Reduction Premises (except with respect to those two subleases previously approved by Landlord and currently in effect)  nor assigned, transferred or conveyed all or any portion of its rights, title or interest in the Lease; (ii) no other person, firm or entity has any right, title or interest in the Lease; (iii) Tenant has the full right, legal power and actual authority to enter into this Amendment and to terminate its lease of the Reduction Premises without the consent of any person, firm or entity; (iv) this Amendment is legal, valid and binding upon Tenant and Landlord, enforceable in accordance with its terms; (v) Tenant has not done any of the following: (a) made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) filed any voluntary petition in bankruptcy or suffered the filing of an involuntary petition by its creditors; (c) suffered the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all, or substantially, all of its assets; (d) suffered the attachment or other judicial seizure of all, or substantially all, of its assets; (e) admitted in writing to its inability to pay its debts as they become due; or (f) made an offer of settlement, extension or composition to its creditors generally.  In addition to the foregoing, Tenant is not contemplating taking any of the aforementioned actions during the period of time commencing on the date of this Amendment and ending on the date which is ninety-one (91) days thereafter; and (vi) there no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord and Tenant has no claim, cause of action, offset, set-off, deduction, counterclaim or other similar right against Landlord.  Tenant further represents and warrants to Landlord that as of the date hereof there are no mechanic's liens or other liens encumbering all or any portion of the Reduction Premises by virtue of any act or omission on the part of Tenant, its predecessors, contractors, agents, employees, successors, assigns or subtenants.  The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 9 shall survive the termination of Tenant's lease of the Reduction Premises and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any inaccuracy thereof.

 

 
 
10.           Security Deposit.  As of the date this Amendment is fully-executed, the Summary and Article 20 of the Lease shall be modified to provide that the Security Deposit required pursuant to the Lease shall be reduced from $166,391.66 (the "Original Security Deposit") to $77,268.60 (the "Reduced Security Deposit"). From and after the date this Amendment is fully-executed , the term "Security Deposit" shall mean and refer to the Reduced Security Deposit. The Reduced Security Deposit shall be subject to, and the use and application thereof governed by, Article 20 of the Lease. Landlord shall apply the difference between the Original Security Deposit (less any amounts of the Original Security Deposit applied by Landlord to remedy any event of default by Tenant under the Lease) and the Reduced Security Deposit to Base Rent next coming due under the Lease.

11.           Base Year.  Effective as of the commencement of the Extended Term, Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 of the Summary of the Lease shall be modified by deleting "calendar year 2008" and inserting "calendar year 2013" in lieu thereof.

12.           Rules and Regulations.  Effective as of the Amendment Date, the Rules and Regulations attached to the Lease as Exhibit D and the Parking Rules and Regulations attached to the Lease as Exhibit D are deleted in their entirety and the Rules and Regulations attached as  Exhibit D  to this Amendment are inserted in lieu thereof.

13.           Energy Efficiency Modifications.  Effective as of the Amendment Date, the following modifications shall be made to the Lease:

13.1           Operating Expenses.  The first full paragraph of Section 4.2.4 is modified as follows: (a) deleting the word "and" before subsection (xi) and inserting the following after subsection (xi): "costs for workers' compensation insurance, wages, withholding taxes, personal property taxes, fees for required licenses and permits, supplies, charges for management of the Building and Common Areas, and the costs and expenses of complying with, or participating in, conservation, recycling, sustainability, energy efficiency, waste reduction or other programs or practices implemented or enacted from time to time at the Building, including, without limitation, in connection with any LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating or compliance system or program, including that currently coordinated through the U.S. Green Building Council or Energy Star rating and/or compliance system or program (collectively "Conservation Costs"); and (xii)", (b) adding the words, "Conservation Costs and/or other costs" to the beginning of subsection (III) thereof, and (c) the penultimate sentence is modified by (x) adding "one-time Conservation Costs and other special charges, costs or fees incurred in the Expense Base Year only, including those attributable to" after the word "exclude", and (y) deleting the words, "due to" and replacing them with the words "or other" in lieu thereof prior to the words "extraordinary circumstances".

13.2           Utilities Costs.  Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, Utilities Costs for the Base Year shall not include any one-time Conservation Costs and the Utilities Costs for the Base Year shall be decreased by an amount equal to the decrease in Utilities Costs in any subsequent Expense Year due to implementation of energy management and/or energy efficient systems or measures.

14.           Right of First Refusal.  Commencing on the RP Termination Date, Tenant shall have a right of first refusal as set forth on  Addendum One  attached hereto and incorporated herein.

15.           Brokers.  Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Amendment whose commission shall be payable by Landlord other than Colliers International ("Broker").  If Tenant has dealt with any person, real estate broker or agent with respect to this Amendment other than the Broker, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment of any fee due to said person or firm, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord free and harmless against any claims, judgments, damages, costs, expenses, and liabilities with respect thereto, including attorneys' fees and costs.  Tenant further represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant will not receive (i) any portion of any potential brokerage commission or finder's fee payable to the Broker in connection with this Amendment, or (ii) any other form of compensation or incentive from the Broker with respect to this transaction.

16.           Nondisclosure of Lease Terms.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of the Lease, as amended hereby, are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord.  Disclosure of the terms could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other lease arrangements and/or and impair Landlord's relationship with other tenants.  Accordingly, Tenant agrees that it, and its partners, officers, directors, employees, agents (including real estate brokers), accountants, and attorneys, shall not disclose the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended, to any public information source or to any other tenant or apparent prospective tenant of the Building, or to any real estate broker or agent, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Landlord.  In the event Tenant breaches its obligations under this Section 16 to keep the terms of this Amendment confidential, Landlord shall have the right to terminate the Lease, as amended hereby, and to recover from Tenant the costs incurred by Landlord in entering into this Amendment, and may also exercise such other remedies as may be available at law or in equity by reason of such breach by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant may disclose this Lease pursuant to the order or legal requirement of a court, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or other governmental body, or to its attorneys and accountants without any obligation or liability to the Landlord.

 

 
 
17.           Effect of Amendment.  Except as modified herein, the terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and continue in full force and effect.  In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Lease and this Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall prevail.

This Work Letter ("Work Letter") sets forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the Tenant Improvements for the Premises.  All references in this Work Letter to the "Lease" shall mean the relevant portions of the Lease, as such term is defined in the First Amendment to Office Lease (the "Amendment") to which this Work Letter is attached as  Exhibit B .
SECTION 1
 
BASE, SHELL AND CORE

Tenant hereby accepts the base, shell and core (i) of the Premises and (ii) of the floor(s) of the Building on which the Premises are located (collectively, the "Base, Shell and Core"), in its current " AS-IS " condition existing as of the date of the Lease and the Amendment Date.  Except as otherwise provided below, Landlord shall not be obligated to make or pay for any alterations or improvements to the Premises, the Building, the Project or the Real Property.

SECTION 2
 
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS FOR THE PREMISES

Prior to the execution of the Amendment, Landlord and Tenant have approved a detailed space plan for the construction of certain improvements in the Premises, which space plan has been prepared by Legacy Partners CDS, Inc., dated May 30, 2012 (the "Final Space Plan"), which Final Space Plan is attached hereto as  Schedule 1 .  Based upon and in conformity with the Final Space Plan, Landlord shall cause its architect and engineers to prepare and deliver to Tenant, for Tenant's approval, detailed specifications and engineered working drawings for the tenant improvements shown on the Final Space Plan (the "Working Drawings").  The Working Drawings shall incorporate modifications to the Final Space Plan as necessary to comply with the floor load and other structural and system requirements of the Building.  To the extent that the finishes and specifications are not completely set forth in the Final Space Plan for any portion of the tenant improvements depicted thereon, the actual specifications and finish work shall be in accordance with the specifications for the Building's standard tenant improvement items, as determined by Landlord.  Within three (3) business days after Tenant's receipt of the Working Drawings, Tenant shall approve or disapprove the same, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld;  provided ,  however , that Tenant may only disapprove the Working Drawings to the extent such Working Drawings are inconsistent with the Final Space Plan and only if Tenant delivers to Landlord, within such three (3) business days period, specific changes proposed by Tenant which are consistent with the Final Space Plan and do not constitute changes which would result in any of the circumstances described in items (i) through (iv) below.  If any such revisions are timely and properly proposed by Tenant, Landlord shall cause its architect and engineers to revise the Working Drawings to incorporate such revisions and submit the same for Tenant's approval in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and the parties shall follow the foregoing procedures for approving the Working Drawings until the same are finally approved by Landlord and Tenant.  Upon Landlord's and Tenant's approval of the Working Drawings, the same shall be known as the "Approved Working Drawings".  The tenant improvements shown on the Approved Working Drawings shall be referred to herein as the "Tenant Improvements".  Once the Approved Working Drawings have been approved by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall make no changes, change orders or modifications thereto without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion if such change or modification would: (i) directly or indirectly delay the Substantial Completion of the Premises; (ii) increase the cost of designing or constructing the Tenant Improvements above the cost of the tenant improvements depicted in the Final Space Plan; (iii) be of a quality lower than the quality of the standard tenant improvement items for the Building; and/or (iv) require any changes to the Base, Shell and Core or structural improvements or systems of the Building.  The Final Space Plan, Working Drawings and Approved Working Drawings shall be collectively referred to herein as, the "Construction Drawings".

SECTION 3
 
CONSTRUCTION AND PAYMENT FOR COSTS OF TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

Landlord shall cause a contractor designated by Landlord (the "Contractor") to (i) obtain all applicable building permits for construction of the Tenant Improvements (collectively, the "Permits"), and (ii) construct the Tenant Improvements as depicted on the Approved Working Drawings, in compliance with such Permits and all applicable laws in effect at the time of construction, and in good workmanlike manner.  Landlord may elect, at its option, to retain Legacy Partners CDS, Inc. as Contractor.  Legacy Partners CDS, Inc. is affiliated with Landlord.  Except as otherwise provided in this Work Letter, Landlord shall pay for the cost of the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements.  The cost of the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements shall include Landlord's construction supervision and management fee in an amount equal to the product of (i) five percent (5%) and (ii) the total cost of the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such construction supervision and management fee shall be charged by Landlord if and to the extent Legacy Partners CDS, Inc. is retained as Contractor hereunder.  In the event Tenant requests any changes, change orders or modifications to the Working Drawings and/or the Approved Working Drawings (which Landlord approves pursuant to  Section 2  above) which increase the cost to construct the Tenant Improvements above an amount equal to Sixty-Seven Thousand Two Hundred Ninety-Six Dollars ($67,296), Tenant shall pay such increased cost to Landlord immediately upon Landlord's request therefor, and, in any event, prior to the date Landlord causes the Contractor to commence construction of the changes, change orders or modifications.  In no event shall Landlord be obligated to pay for any of Tenant's furniture, computer systems, telephone systems, equipment or other personal property which may be depicted on the Construction Drawings; such items shall be paid for by Tenant.

Tenant acknowledges that no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, respecting the condition of any First Refusal Space, the Building, or Project have been made by Landlord or any agent of Landlord to Tenant, except as expressly set forth herein. Tenant further acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any of Landlord's agents, representatives or employees have made any representations as to the suitability or fitness of any First Refusal Space for the conduct of Tenant's business, or for any other purpose.  Any exception to the foregoing provisions must be made by express written agreement signed by authorized representatives of both parties.

3.           Procedure for Acceptance.  On or before the date which is five (5) business days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's First Refusal Notice (the "Election Date"), Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord ("Tenant's Election Notice") pursuant to which Tenant shall have the one-time right to elect either to:  (i) lease the entire First Refusal Space described in the First Refusal Notice upon the terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice; or (ii) refuse to lease such First Refusal Space identified in the First Refusal Notice.  If Tenant does not respond in writing to Landlord's First Refusal Notice by the Election Date or wishes to modify the terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to lease the applicable First Refusal Space.  If Tenant elects or is deemed to have elected not to lease such First Refusal Space, then Tenant's First Refusal Right set forth in this ROFR Addendum for such First Refusal Space shall terminate, Landlord shall thereafter have the right to lease all or any portion of such First Refusal Space to anyone to whom Landlord desires on any terms Landlord desires but Tenant's First Refusal Right with respect to the other First Refusal Space shall remain unaffected, provided, however, following Tenant's election or deemed election not to lease the First Refusal Space on the terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice, in the event that Landlord offers the First Refusal Space to another party on terms that have a net effective rate that are more than ten percent (10%) better than the net effective rate offered to Tenant in a First Refusal Notice, then Tenant shall again have a First Refusal Right with respect to such First Refusal Space and Landlord shall again be required to offer such space to Tenant in accordance with the terms of this ROFR Rider.  Furthermore, in the event that Tenant does not exercise (or otherwise waive) its First Refusal Right following receipt of a First Refusal Notice, and, thereafter, Landlord has not entered into a lease with the third party whose Lease Proposal terms were presented to Tenant within six (6) months after the date of the applicable First Refusal Notice, Tenant's First Refusal Right shall again apply to the subject First Refusal Space.

4.           Lease of First Refusal Space.  If Tenant timely exercises a First Refusal Right as set forth herein, the parties shall have ten (10) business days after Landlord receives Tenant's Election Notice in which to execute an amendment to the Lease adding such First Refusal Space to the Premises on all of the terms and conditions as applicable to the initial Premises, as modified to reflect the terms and conditions as set forth in Landlord's First Refusal Notice.  Upon full execution of an amendment for the First Refusal Space, the security deposit shall be increased by an amount equal to the one-month Base Rent payable for the First Refusal Space.  The Rent for the First Refusal Space shall be as agreed between the parties.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant must elect to exercise its First Refusal Right provided herein, if at all, with respect to all of the space offered by Landlord to Tenant in Landlord's First Refusal Notice at any particular time, and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion thereof.

5.           Limitations on, and Conditions to, First Refusal Right.  Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, at Landlord's option, and in addition to all of Landlord's remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity, the First Refusal Right hereinabove granted to Tenant shall not be deemed to be properly exercised if any of the following individual events occur or any combination thereof occur: (i) at any time Tenant is, or has been, in default of the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or agreements to be performed under this Lease; and/or (ii) on the scheduled commencement date for Tenant's lease of the First Refusal Space, Tenant is in default under this Lease; and/or (iii) Tenant has assigned its rights and obligations under all or part of the Lease or Tenant has subleased all or any portion of the Premises; and/or (iv) Tenant's financial condition is reasonably unacceptable to Landlord at the time Tenant's Election Notice is delivered to Landlord; and/or (v) Tenant has failed to exercise properly this First Refusal Right in a timely manner in strict accordance with the provisions of this ROFR Addendum; and/or (vi) Tenant no longer has possession of all or any part of the Premises under the Lease, or if the Lease has been terminated earlier, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease.  Tenant's First Refusal Right to lease a First Refusal Space is personal to the original Tenant executing this Lease, and may not be assigned or exercised, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to, any person or entity other than the original Tenant, and shall only be available to and exercisable by the Tenant when the original Tenant is in actual and physical possession of the entire Premises.

6.           Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every time period described in this Addendum.
