TENANT’S RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

58.1 As used herein, “Offer Space” means Suite 200 in the 3200 Bridge Building. Landlord may from time to time give Tenant a written notice (the “Availability Notice”) identifying the particular Offer Space (the “Specific Offer Space”) that is Available (as defined below). As used herein, “Available” means that the space (i) is not part of the Premises, (ii) is not then subject to a lease, (iii) is not then subject to any rights of tenant to renew their lease or expand their premises as set forth in their lease, and (iv) is not then subject to any negotiations between Landlord and a prospective tenant or an existing tenant.

 

-2-


58.2 Tenant may inform Landlord (the “Request Notice”) not more than once in any twelve (12) month period and not within six (6) months after receipt of an Availability Notice that Tenant desires to lease additional space. Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days of receiving the properly given Request Notice, deliver to Tenant an Availability Notice identifying Specific Offer Space that is Available.

58.3 The location and configuration of the Specific Offer Space shall be determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion; provided that Landlord shall have no obligations to designate Specific Offer Space that would result in any space not included in the Specific Offer Space being not Configured For Leasing (as defined below). For purposes of this Lease, “Configured For Leasing” means the applicable space must have convenient access to the central corridor on the applicable floor and must have a size and configuration that complies with all applicable building codes and other laws and is such that Landlord judges, in its reasonable discretion, that Landlord will be able to lease such space to a third party. The Availability Notice shall:

(a) Describe the particular Specific Offer Space (including rentable area, usable area and location);

(b) Include an attached floor plan identifying such space;

(c) State the date (the “Specific Offer Space Delivery Date”) the space will be available for delivery to Tenant;

(d) Specify the Base Rent for the Specific Offer Space;

(e) Specify the increase in the security deposit that will apply to reflect the addition of the Specific Offer Space to the Premises; and

(f) If the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date is after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Commencement Date, specify the length of the term of the leasing of the Specific Offer Space that will be available (the “Specific Offer Space Term”).

58.4 If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s rights set forth in this Article 58 with respect to the Specific Offer Space, then within five (5) business days of delivery of the Availability Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver irrevocable notice to Landlord (the “First Offer Exercise Notice”) offering to lease the Specific Offer Space on the terms and conditions as may be specified by Landlord in the Availability Notice.

58.5 In the event Tenant fails to give a First Offer Exercise Notice in response to any Availability Notice, Tenant shall have no further rights to receive an Availability Notice and Tenant’s rights under this Article 58 shall terminate and Landlord shall be free to lease the Offer Space to anyone on any terms at any time during the Term, without any obligation to provide Tenant with any further right to lease that space.

 

-3-


58.6 If Tenant timely and validly gives the First Offer Exercise Notice, then beginning on the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date and continuing (i) if the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date is on or before the third (3rd) anniversary of the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Commencement Date, for the balance of the Term (including any extensions), or (ii) if the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date is after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Commencement Date, for the Specific Offer Space Term:

(a) The Specific Offer Space shall be part of the Premises under this Lease (so that the term “Premises” in this Lease shall refer to the space in the Premises immediately before the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date plus the Specific Offer Space).

(b) Tenant’s Building Percentage with respect to the 3200 Bridge Building shall be adjusted to reflect the increased rentable area of the Premises.

(c) Base Rent for the Specific Offer Space shall be as specified in the Availability Notice.

(d) The security deposit Tenant must provide shall be increased by the amounts specified in the Availability Notice.

(e) Tenant’s lease of the Specific Offer Space shall be on the same terms and conditions as affect the original Premises from time to time, except as otherwise provided in this section. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent with respect to the Specific Offer Space shall begin on the Specific Offer Space Delivery Date. The Specific Offer Space shall be leased to Tenant in its “as-is” condition and Landlord shall not be required to construct improvements in, or contribute any tenant improvement allowance for, the Specific Offer Space. Tenant’s construction of any improvements in the Specific Offer Space shall comply with the terms of this Lease concerning alterations.

58.7 Tenant’s rights and Landlord’s obligations under this Article 58 are expressly subject to and conditioned upon there not existing an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, either at the time of delivery of the First Offer Exercise Notice or at the time the Specific Offer Space is to be added to the Premises.

58.8 It is understood and agreed that Tenant’s rights under this Article 58 are personal to Tenant and not transferable. In the event of any assignment or subletting of the Premises or any part thereof, this expansion right shall automatically terminate and shall thereafter be null and void.

58.9 Tenant’s right of first offer under this Article 58 shall be subordinate to all rights of tenants under leases (or subleases) of the Offer Space existing as of the Suite 201

 

-4-


Third Expansion Space Commencement Date, and all rights of other tenants of the Project, which rights relate to the Offer Space and which rights are set forth in leases or subleases of space in the Project existing as of the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Commencement Date, each including any renewal, extension, expansion, first offer, first negotiation and other similar rights (regardless of whether such rights are executed strictly in accordance with their respective terms or pursuant to lease amendments or new leases) (all such tenants under existing leases of the Offer Space and other tenants of the Project, collectively, the “Superior Right Holders”).”

2.8 Landlord agrees that in consideration of Tenant entering into this Agreement, monthly Base Rent for the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space in the amount of $27,431.25 shall be abated for the period from November 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015. The amount of Base Rent set forth in the table in Section 2.3 for that period reflects that rent abatement. During such abatement period, Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under the Lease. In the event of an Event of Default by Tenant under the terms of the Lease that results in early termination pursuant to the provisions of Article 22 of the Lease, then as part of the recovery set forth in Article 22 of the Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of the monthly Base Rent that was abated under the foregoing provisions.

3. Commencing on the date that is fourteen (14) days prior to the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Commencement Date, Tenant shall be entitled to have early access to the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space without the obligation for payment of rent and operating expenses for the purposes of installing its furniture, fixtures, cabling, files and equipment; and provided that (a) Tenant first provides Landlord with all insurance required by the terms of the Lease, modified to apply to the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space, (b) all construction by Tenant shall be performed in accordance with the terms of the Lease, including without limitation Article 15 and Exhibit L, and (c) Tenant has coordinated its schedule of early entry with Landlord to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction.

4. The taking of possession of the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space and the 3200 Bridge Building were in good and satisfactory condition at the time possession was taken by Tenant. Except as otherwise expressly stated above, neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agents have made any representations or promises with respect to the condition of the 3200 Bridge Building, the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space, the land upon which the 3200 Bridge Building is constructed, or any other matter or thing affecting or related to the 3200 Bridge Building or the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space, except as herein expressly set forth, and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth in this Lease.

5. Notwithstanding Section 4 above, Landlord warrants that the roof, structural components of the 3200 Bridge Building, the HVAC system, electrical and plumbing systems, elevator, doors, parking lot and site lighting (the “Third Expansion Space Covered Items”), other than those constructed by Tenant, shall be in good operating condition on the date possession of the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space is delivered to Tenant. If a non-compliance with such warranty exists as of the delivery of possession, or if one of such Third

 

-5-


Expansion Space Covered Items should malfunction or fail within ninety (90) days after the delivery of possession to Tenant, Landlord shall, as Landlord’s sole obligation with respect to such matter, promptly after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and extent of such non-compliance, malfunction or failure, rectify the same at Landlord’s expense. If Tenant does not give Landlord the required notice within ninety (90) days after the delivery of possession of the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space to Tenant, Landlord shall have no obligation with respect to that warranty other than obligations regarding the Third Expansion Space Covered Items set forth elsewhere in this Lease.

6. Effective on the date of this Agreement, the amount of the Security Deposit required under the Lease shall be increased by $31,800.34 and Tenant shall deposit said amount with Landlord on the date Tenant executes and delivers this Agreement.

7. The following terms of the Fourth Amendment are hereby amended as follows:

7.1 Section 4.5 of the Fourth Amendment is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: “The Maximum Parking Allocation is increased by 28.”

7.2 The last two sentences of Section 12 of the Fourth Amendment are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

“Effective on the Suite 100 Second Expansion Space Commencement Date, the amount of the Security Deposit required under the Lease shall be increased by $41,935.96 and Tenant shall deposit said amount with Landlord no later than the Suite 100 Second Expansion Space Commencement Date.”

8. Except as otherwise provided herein, all of the terms and conditions of the Original Lease shall continue to apply during the Term; provided, however, that there shall be no rent credit, and that there shall be no improvement allowance, Landlord construction obligations or other initial concessions with respect to the Term, except as provided in this Agreement and the Suite 201 Tenant Work Letter attached to this Agreement as Exhibit L.

9. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that it has dealt with no broker, finder or similar person in connection with this Agreement, and Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that it has dealt with no broker, finder or similar person in connection with this Agreement, other than Cushman & Wakefield (“Landlord’s Broker”) and CBRE, Inc. (“Tenant’s Broker”). Landlord and Tenant shall each defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless with respect to all claims, causes of action, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the indemnifying party’s dealings with any real estate broker, agent, finder or similar person other than Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker. The commission with respect to this Agreement shall be paid to Landlord’s Broker by Landlord pursuant to a separate agreement. Landlord’s Broker will pay Tenant’s Broker a commission pursuant to a separate agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impose any obligation on Landlord to pay a commission or fee to any party other than Landlord’s Broker.

10. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the provisions contained herein.

 

-6-


11. As additional consideration for this Agreement, Tenant hereby certifies that:

(a) The Original Lease of the Existing Space is in full force and effect.

(b) Tenant is in possession of the Premises denoted “Existing Space.”

(c) To Tenant’s knowledge, there are not any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord or Tenant under the Original Lease.

(d) All required contributions by Landlord to Tenant on account of Tenant’s improvements of the Existing Space have been received.

(g) Tenant’s representations and warranties in Section 53.1 of the Original Lease are true and correct.

12. Except as specifically provided herein, the terms and conditions of the Original Lease as amended hereby are confirmed and continue in full force and effect. This Agreement shall be binding on the heirs, administrators, successors and assigns (as the case may be) of the parties hereto. This Agreement and the attached exhibits, which are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement, set forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. There have been no additional oral or written representations or agreements. Under no circumstances shall Tenant be entitled to any Rent abatement, improvement allowance, leasehold improvements, or other work to the Premises, or any similar economic incentives that may have been provided to Tenant in connection with entering into the Original Lease, unless specifically set forth in this Agreement. Tenant agrees that neither Tenant nor its agents or any other parties acting on behalf of Tenant shall disclose any matters set forth in this Agreement or disseminate or distribute any information concerning the terms, details or conditions hereof to any person, firm or entity without obtaining the express written consent of Landlord. In the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Original Lease and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. Submission of this Agreement by Landlord is not an offer to enter into this Agreement but rather is a solicitation for such an offer by Tenant. Landlord shall not be bound by this Agreement until Landlord has executed and delivered the same to Tenant.

13. Effective as of the date hereof, all references to the “Lease” shall refer to the Original Lease, as amended by this Agreement.

Tenant covenants and agrees (a) to comply with all requirements of law relating to money laundering, anti-terrorism, trade embargos and economic sanctions, now or hereafter in effect, (b) to immediately notify Landlord in writing if any of the representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Section are no longer true or have been breached or if Tenant has a reasonable basis to believe that they may no longer be true or have been breached, (c) not to use funds from any Prohibited Person to make any payment due to Landlord under the Lease and (d) at the request of Landlord, to provide such information as may be requested by Landlord to determine Tenant’s compliance with the terms hereof. Any breach by Tenant of the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease and shall be covered by the indemnity provisions of the Original Lease. The representations and warranties contained in this Section shall be continuing in nature and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

15. It is understood that from time to time during the term of the Lease, Landlord may be subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and as a result may be prohibited by law from engaging in certain transactions.

Further, Tenant is not “related” to Prudential within the meaning of part VI(h) of PTE 84-14.

This Suite 201 Tenant Work Letter is attached to and made a part of that certain Fifth Amendment to Lease dated October 28, 2015 (the “Amendment”) between WESTPORT OFFICE PARK, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Landlord”), and IMPERVA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), which amends a lease between Landlord and Tenant (as modified from time to time, the “Lease”) more particularly described in the Amendment. Any capitalized term used and not otherwise defined in this Suite 201 Tenant Work Letter has the meaning given such term in the Amendment (or, if not defined in the Amendment, the meaning given such term in the Lease). This Suite 201 Tenant Work Letter sets forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvements in the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space.

Section 1

BASE, SHELL AND CORE

1.1 Base, Shell and Core. Landlord has previously constructed the base, shell, and core (i) of the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space and (ii) of the floor(s) of the Building on which the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space are located (collectively, the “Base, Shell, and Core”) and other improvements, and Tenant shall accept the Base, Shell and Core and such other improvements in their current “As-Is” condition existing as of the date of the Amendment and the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Commencement Date. Tenant shall install in the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space certain “Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvements” (as defined below) pursuant to the provisions of this Suite 201 Tenant Work Letter. Except for Landlord’s obligation to disburse the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvement Allowance as described below, Landlord shall not be obligated to make or pay for any alterations or improvements to the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space, the Premises, the Building or the Project.

1.2 Landlord Path of Travel Obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord covenants to correct any failure of the path of travel for the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space outside of the Premises to comply with current codes, including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act, as interpreted by Landlord’s architect as of the date of the Amendment, to the extent such correction is necessary in order for Tenant to obtain a building permit or a certificate of occupancy for the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvements in the 201 Third Expansion Space for general office purposes; provided that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit Landlord from obtaining a variance or relying upon a grandfathered right in order to achieve compliance with those codes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to contest any alleged violation in good faith, including, without limitation, the right to apply for and obtain a waiver or deferment of compliance, the right to assert any and all defenses allowed by law, and the right to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings to the fullest extent permitted by law, and Landlord’s obligation to perform work or take such other action to cure a violation under this Section shall apply after the exhaustion of any and all rights to appeal or contest.

Section 2

SUITE 201 THIRD EXPANSION SPACE IMPROVEMENTS

2.1 Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant improvement allowance (the “Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvement Allowance”) in the amount of up to, but not exceeding $10.00 per rentable square foot of the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space (i.e., up to $73,150.00, based on 7,315 rentable square feet in the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space), for the costs relating to the initial design and construction of Tenant’s improvements which are permanently affixed to the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space (the “Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvements”); provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to disburse all or any portion of the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvement Allowance to Tenant unless Tenant makes a request for disbursement pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 2.2 below prior to that date which is twelve (12) months after the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Commencement Date. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Suite 201 Tenant Work Letter in a total amount which exceeds the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any cash payment or credit against Rent or otherwise for any unused portion of the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvement Allowance which is not used to pay for the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvement Allowance Items (as such term is defined below). In no event shall the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvement Allowance be used for purposes of constructing improvements in the Premises for purposes of offering space for sublease or for the benefit of a subtenant. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvement Allowance may, in Tenant’s unfettered and absolute discretion, be allocated partially to the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvements or partially to the design and construction of Tenant’s improvements that are permanently affixed to the Existing Space (the “Existing Space Improvements”). The intention of this provision is to provide complete discretion to Tenant to allocate the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvement Allowance between the Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvements and the Existing Space Improvements. For purposes of approvals, disbursement of funds, removal, restoration and other process provisions, Existing Space Improvements shall be treated under this Agreement as though they were Suite 201 Third Expansion Space Improvements.

Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 3, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings.

Landlord may request clarification or more specific drawings for special use items not included in the Final Space Plan.
