Landlord reserves the right to alter the Property so long as such alterations do not unreasonably impair access to the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises or the Building or its fitness for the conduct of Tenant’s business, except as specifically set forth in this Lease. 1.2. Common Area. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive use of the common areas (“Common Area”) of the Building. Landlord shall maintain the Common Area, including the fixtures, furnishings and equipment (“FF&E”) installed by Landlord in a good and serviceable condition. Any damage to the Common Area and FF&E caused by Tenant in excess of ordinary wear and tear shall be repaired or replaced by Landlord at Tenant’s expense. Landlord shall have right to remove from the Common Area any items, including furniture, which is not authorized in advance to be located in the Common Area. 1.3 Expansion Right of First Offer. Tenant shall have the right of first offer (the "Right of First Offer") during the Term (as the same may be extended) to lease twenty (20) additional dormitory rooms as a single block located on the third floor of the Building (the "Offering Space"). Tenant's Right of First Offer shall be exercised as follows: at any time after Landlord has determined that the Offering Space is vacant and available to be leased (but prior to leasing such Offering Space to a party other than an existing tenant), Landlord shall advise Tenant (the "Advice") of the of the availability of the Offering Space. Tenant may lease such Offering Space in its entirety only, under the terms of this Lease {including the then applicable Base Rent and Lease Expiration Date), by delivering written notice of exercise to Landlord (the “Notice of Exercise") within 10 days after the date of the Advice, except that Tenant shall have no such Right of First Offer and Landlord need not provide Tenant with an Advice, if: (a) Tenant is in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period; (b) Tenant has assigned the Lease (other than to a Permitted Transferee), sublet the Premises (other than to a Permitted Transferee) or is otherwise not occupying the Premises; or (c) Tenant does not intend to use the Offering Space for the use permitted by the Lease. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises theRight of First Offer, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the "Expansion Amendment") to reflect the commencement date of the term for the Offering Space and the changes in Base Rent, Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes and other appropriate terms which shall be coterminous with the remaining Term of the Premises, and shall be at the same Base Rent and terms as for the Premises as of the time of exercise. Possession of the Offering Space shall be delivered to Tenant in a condition comparable to the condition of the Premises as of the Term Commencement Date. A copy of the Expansion Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise, and Tenant shall execute and return the Expansion Amendment to Landlord within fifteen (a5) days thereafter, and Landlord shall return an executed copy to Tenant fifteen (5) days thereafter, but an otherwise valid exercise of the Expansion Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Expansion Amendment is executed. Section2, TERM 2.1 Term. The term of the Lease (‘Term’) is five (5) years, commencing on the “Term Commencement Date” and ending on the “Lease Expiration Date” as specified in the Basic Lease Information. The Term Commencement Date shall be the date on which the Landlord Work is “Substantially Complete”, but no earlier than July 1, 2013 unless agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant. The Landlord Work shall be deemed to be “Substantially Complete” on the later of (i) the date that the Landlord Work has been performed, other than any details of construction, mechanical adjustment or any other similar matter, the non-completion of which does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises; and (ii) the date Landlord receives from the appropriate governmental authorities, with respect to the Landlord Work, all approvals necessary for the occupancy of the Premises. If Landlord is delayed in the performance of the Landlord Work as a result of the negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or its contractors or vendors, including, without limitation, changes requested by Tenant to approved plans, Tenant’s failure to comply with any of its obligations under this Lease, or the specification of any materials or equipment with long lead times (a “Tenant Delay”), the Landlord Work shall be deemed to be Substantially Complete on the date that Landlord could teasonably have been expected to Substantially Complete the Landlord Work absent any Tenant Delay. 2.2 Lease Contingency; Option of Termination. This Lease is expressly contingent upon Landlord obtaining all necessary approvals and permits from the City of San Francisco to complete Landlord’s Work in accordance with the Approved Plans. Following the full execution of this Lease, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to obtain the foregoing approvals and permits. In the event Landlord is unable to obtain such approvals and permits on or before June 15, 2013, then Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord on or before Landlord’s notice to Tenant that Landlord has obtained the approvals and permits. Additionally, provided that Tenant is not in Default, Tenant shall have the option toterminate the Lease by written notice to Landlord in the event the Landlord has not delivered the Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Work Substantially Complete on or before July 1, 2013 (“Outside Completion Date”). Tenant’s exercise of the termination notice pursuant to the preceding sentence shall only be effective if delivered to Landlord no later than thirty (30) days following the Outside Completion Date. If Tenant timely exercises either of the foregoing termination options, then the Lease shall terminate effective as of the delivery of such notice and the rights and obligations of the parties to the Lease shall cease, except for those rights and obligations which expressly survive termination of this Lease. 2.3 Surrender. At the end of the Term, or at the end of any subsequent holdover period permitted by Landlord or upon any earlier termination of this Lease (the date of surrender being referred to as the “Surrender Date”), Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Premises “broom” clean and in good order, repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear and casualty damage excepted. The Alterations (as defined in Section 7) shall remain the property of Tenant during the Term. Unless otherwise agreed at the time Landlord’s approval is requested for Tenant's Alterations, all such Alterations shall become the property of Landlord at the end of the Term or earlier expiration of this Lease and be deemed a part of the Premises. On or before the Surrender Date, Tenant shall remove from the Premises all trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and other personal property installed by Tenant (collectively, “Tenant’s Property’), and shall repair any damage to the Premises resulting from such removal. If Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant's Property, or restore the Premises to the condition specified herein on the Surrender Date, Landlord shall have the right, in addition to such other rights and remedies as may be available at law or in equity, to perform all such removal and restoration at Tenant’s sole cost and without notice or any other obligation to Tenant (including without limitation any obligation to mitigate damages or realize salvage value). Any of Tenant’s Property not removed by Tenant on or before the Surrender Date shall be considered abandoned, and Landlord may remove any or all of Tenant’s Property and dispose of it in any lawful manner, or may store any of Tenant's Property in a public warehouse or elsewhere for the account and at the expense and risk of Tenant. 2.4 Holdover. If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term with Landlord’s prior written consent, (a) Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall be deemed a month-to-month tenancy terminable by either party upon 30 days’ written notice to the other, (b) the monthly Rent during the holdover period shall be 125% of the monthly Rent during the last month of the Term and (c) Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises during the holdover period otherwise shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of this Lease. If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance and Tenant's occupancy of the Premises during the holdover period otherwise shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of this Lease, except the monthly Rent during the 7holdover period (“Holdover Rent”) shall be 125% of the monthly Rent during the last month of the Term. 25 Renewal Option. Provided that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect, (b) Tenant is not then in default in the performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease (beyond the expiration of any applicable period for cure), (c) Tenant has not assigned this Lease (other than to a Permitted Transferee), and (d) Tenant (or a Permitted Transferee) is in occupancy for its own use of the entire Premises (collectively, the "Option Conditions"), Tenant shall have two (2) options to extend the term of this Lease fora period of five (5) years each, subject to the following conditions: () each option shall be exercised by written notice of exercise given to Landlord by certified mail, with return receipt, or by hand delivery not earlier than 12 months or later than 9 months prior to the expiration, as applicable, of the original Lease Expiration Date or the initial extension term; and (ii) the Option Conditions shall be satisfied both at the time the option is exercised and at the commencement of the extension term. In the event the option is timely exercised, the Term of this Lease shall be extended for a period of five (5) years upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease and the Base Rent during such extended term shall be ninety percent (90%) of the Fair Market Rental Rate. rentals then being charged for comparable dormitory properties in San Francisco, taking into account the length of the extension term, the rental structure, the fixed increases in Base Rent during the extension term provided for herein, the manner of pass-through of additional rent, free or reduced rent periods, any improvements or improvement allowance made to the Premises, and any brokerage commissions directly related to dormitory room leasing transactions. Within thirty (30) days following Tenant's exercise of the option to extend, Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant specifying Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Premises as of the commencement of the extension term (“Landlord's Determination”). Within fifteen (15) days following Tenant’s receipt of such Landlord’s notice specifying Landlord’s Determination, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord either agreeing with Landlord’s Determination or disagreeing therewith and specifying Tenant's determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate of the Premises as of the commencement of the extension term (“Tenant’s Determination”). In the event Tenant fails to timely deliver such notice, then Landlord’s Determination shall be binding on Tenant. In the event Tenant so disagrees with Landlord’s Determination, then Landlord and Tenant shall promptly meet and endeavor in good faith to reach agreement upon the Fair Market Rental Rate for the extension term. Upon agreement, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a renewal amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Rate within thirty (30) days after the date Tenant provides Landlord with Tenant’s Determination, Tenant, by written notice to Landlord (the “Arbitration Notice") within five (5) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, shall have the right to have the Fair Market Rental Rate determined in accordance with the arbitration procedures described below.If Tenant provides Landlord with an Arbitration Notice, Landlord and Tenant, within five (5) days after the date of the Arbitration Notice, shall each simultaneously submit to the other, in a sealed envelope, its good faith estimate of the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Premises (collectively referred to as the "Estimates"). If the higher of such Estimates is not more than 105% of the lower of such Estimates, then Fair Market Rental Rate shall be the average of the two Estimates. If the Fair Market Rental Rate is not resolved by the exchange of Estimates, then, within seven (7) days after the exchange of Estimates, Landlord and Tenant shall each select an appraiser to determine which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Premises. Each appraiser so selected shall be certified as an MAI appraiser or as an ASA appraiser and shall have had at least five (5) years experience within the previous ten (10) years as a real estate appraiser working in the San Francisco area, with working knowledge of current rental rates and practices for similar space. For purposes hereof, an "MAI" appraiser means an individual who holds an MAI designation conferred by, and is an independent member of, the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or its successor organization, or in the event there is no successor organization, the organization and designation most similar), and an "ASA" appraiser means an individual who holds the Senior Member designation conferred by, and is an independent member of, the American Society of Appraisers (or its successor organization, or, in the event there is no successor organization, the organization and designation most similar). Upon selection, Landlord's and Tenant's appraisers shall work together in good faith to agree upon which of the two (2) Estimates most closely reflects the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Premises. The Estimate chosen by such appraisers shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Minimum Rent rate for the Premises during the extended Lease Term. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within the seven (7) day period referred to above, the appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the sole appraiser for the purposes hereof. If the two appraisers cannot agree upon which of the two (2) Estimates most closely reflects the Fair Market Rental Rate within twenty (20) days after their appointment, then, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser meeting the aforementioned criteria. Once the third appraiser (i.e. arbitrator) has been selected as provided for above, then, as soon thereafter as practicable but in any case within fourteen (14) days, the arbitrator shall make his determination of which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the Fair Market Rental Rate and such Estimate shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant. If the arbitrator believes that expert advice would materially assist him, he may retain one or more qualified persons to provide such expert advice. The parties shall share equally in the costs of the arbitrator and of any experts retained by the arbitrator. Any fees of any appraiser, counsel or experts engaged directly by Landlord or Tenant, however, shall be borne by the party retaining such appraiser, counsel or expert. If the Fair Market Rental Rate has not been determined by the commencement date of the extended Lease Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent upon the terms and conditions in effect during the last month of the original Term or first extension term, as applicable, for 9the Premises until such time as the Fair Market Rental Rate has been determined. Upon such determination, the Base Rent for the Premises shal] be retroactively adjusted to the commencement of the extended Lease Term. Section 3. RENT 31 Base Rent. Tenant shall pay the monthly Base Rent (“Base Rent”) specified in the Basic Lease Information. The Base Rent shall be due on the first day of each and every month during the Term, without notice, set off, or invoice from Landlord. The Base Rent for any partial month shall be pro-rated at the rate of 1/30 of the monthly Base Rent per day. During the Start-Up Period, Base Rent shall be determined based on actual occupancy of the dormitory rooms comprising the Premises, pro-rated as provided above. Tenant shall certify in writing to Landlord at the beginning of each month during the Start-Up Period the number of rooms occupied and the date occupancy commenced for each room and Base Rent shall be determined in accordance with such certification. 3-2 Rent Adjustment. Base Rent shall increase annually by three percent (3.0%) during the final three years of the Term 3:3 Modified Net Lease; Rent Defined. This Lease is a “Modified Net Lease” pursuant to which Tenant shall pay (in addition to Base Rent) for its Pro-Rata Share of Real Estate Taxes. Tenant will petition the City of San Francisco for exemptions from real estate taxes based on its non-profit status. For purposes of this Lease, “Rent” shall mean and include all amounts and charges Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease, including Base Rent, Tenant's Pro-rata Share of Real Estate Taxes, Late Fees (Section 3.4), Returned Check Charge (Section 3.5) and interest (as provided in this Lease). Unless as otherwise provided herein, Tenant shall pay the Rent to Landlord at the times set forth in this Lease, without deduction, setoff, prior notice or demand, in lawful money of the United States of America, at the address specified in the Basic Lease Information, or to such other person and/or at such other address as Landlord may designate in writing from time to time. 3-4 Late Payment. Tenant recognizes that late payment of any Rent or other sum due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord shall incur costs and expenses not originally contemplated under this Lease; including but not limited to certain administrative expenses, collection costs, processing, and accounting expenses, the extent of which additional expense is extremely difficult and economically impractical to ascertain. Tenant therefore agree that if Rent or any other payment due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord remains unpaid ten (10) days after said amount is due, the amount of such unpaid Rent or other payment shall be increased by a “Late Fee” to be immediately paid to Landlord by Tenant in an amount equal to Five Percent (5%) of said Rent or other sum that remained unpaid for the above mentioned ten (10) day period. Both parties agree that such amount is a reasonable estimate of the loss and expense to be suffered by Landlord as a result of such late payment by Tenant and may be charged by Landlord to defray such loss and expense. 10The provisions of this Section 3.4 in no way relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay Rent or other payments on or before the day on which they are due, nor do the terms of this Section 3.4 in any way affect Landlord’s remedies pursuant to this Lease in the event said Rent or other payment is unpaid after the date due. 3.5 Returned Check Charge. In the event Tenant’s payment of Rent to Landlord in the form of a check is returned for insufficient funds, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a returned check charge (“Returned Check Charge”) of $25.00, which shall be submitted by Tenant along with the Rent due within five (5} days of written notice by Landlord. Such Returned Check Charge shall be in addition to any late payment charges incurred and shall be deemed additional Rent.
