Letter of Credit. As security for the full, faithful and timely performance of each of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a Letter of Credit meeting the requirements contained in this Article 24, which issuance shall not be more than thirty (30) days after execution of this Lease.

Letter of Credit. Within five (5) business days of Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and, subject to the terms hereof, the Existing Lease, and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease, and the Existing Lease, an irrevocable and unconditional negotiable standby letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D and containing the terms required herein, payable upon presentation to an operating retail branch located in San Francisco, California, running in favor of Landlord and issued by a solvent, nationally recognized bank with a long term rating from Standard and Poor’s Professional Rating Service of A or a comparable rating from Moody’s Professional Rating Service or higher, under the supervision of the Superintendent of Banks of the State of California, or a national banking association, in the Deposit Amount set forth in the Basic Lease Information. The Letter of Credit shall be referred to herein as the “Security Deposit”. The Letter of Credit shall # be “callable” at sight, irrevocable and unconditional, # be maintained in effect, whether through renewal (pursuant to a so-called “evergreen provision”) or extension, for the period from the Commencement Date and continuing until the date that is ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Term or the date of termination of the Lease (the “LC Expiration Date”), and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a new Letter of Credit, certificate of renewal or extension amendment at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, # be fully transferable by Landlord, its successors and assigns, # permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and # be otherwise subject to the International Standby Practices ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. In addition to the foregoing, the form and terms of the Letter of Credit (and the bank issuing the same (the “Bank”)) shall be acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. If Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that the Bank which issued the Letter of Credit has become financially unacceptable because the above requirements are not met or the Bank has filed bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings or is placed into a receivership or conservatorship, or the financial condition of the Bank has changed in any other materially adverse way then Tenant shall have thirty (30) days to provide Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit complying with all of the requirements of this Article 26. If Tenant does not so provide Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit within such thirty (30) day period, then Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall h 3 the right to draw upon the then current Letter of Credit. In addition to Landlord's rights to draw upon the Letter as otherwise described in this Article 26, Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: # such amount is an obligation of Tenant under the Lease that is past-due beyond applicable notice and cure periods under the terms and conditions of this Lease; # Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code, # an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code that is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, # the Bank has notified Landlord that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed or extended through the LC Expiration Date, or # Tenant has failed to deliver a new Letter of Credit or amendment to the existing Letter of Credit increasing the stated amount as required under the terms of this Lease. The Letter of Credit will be honored by the Bank regardless of whether Tenant disputes Landlord’s right to draw upon the Letter of Credit. Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s fees in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, certificate of renewal or extension amendment.

Within ten (10) business days following the Execution Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an irrevocable letter of credit which shall # be in the amount specified in the Lease Summary Sheet and otherwise in the form attached hereto as [Exhibit 9]; # issued by a FDIC insured financial institution # reasonably acceptable to Landlord upon which presentment may be made in Boston, Massachusetts or by mail or electronic presentation, and # which satisfies the Minimum Rating Agency Threshold and the Minimum Capital Threshold (as such terms are hereinafter defined), it being acknowledged and agreed that Silicon Valley Bank, provided it continues to satisfy the Minimum Rating Agency Threshold and the Minimum Capital Threshold, is hereby deemed to be an acceptable issuer; and # be for a term of one (1) year, subject to extension in accordance with the terms hereof (the “Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit shall be held by Landlord, without liability for interest, as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease by the Tenant to be kept and performed during the Term. In no event shall the Letter of Credit be deemed to be a prepayment of Rent nor shall it be considered a measure of liquidated damages. Unless the Letter of Credit is automatically renewing, at least thirty (30) days prior to the maturity date of the Letter of Credit (or any replacement Letter of Credit), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit which shall have a maturity date no earlier than the next anniversary of the Commencement Date or one (1) year from its date of delivery to Landlord, whichever is later.

LETTER OF CREDIT. Landlord agrees that in lieu of a cash Security Deposit, Tenant may deliver to Landlord, within 10 business days of Tenant’s execution of this Lease, a letter of credit (“Letter of Credit”) in the amount stated in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions, which Letter of Credit shall be in form and with the substance of Exhibit I attached hereto. The Letter of Credit shall be issued by Bank of America, N.A., or another financial institution reasonably acceptable to Landlord with a branch in Orange County, California, at which draws on the letter of credit will be accepted, or which accepts draws by facsimile or correspondence presentation. The Letter of Credit shall provide for automatic yearly renewals throughout the Term of this Lease and shall have an outside expiration date that is not earlier than 30 days after the expiration of the Lease Term. In the event the Letter of Credit is not continuously renewed through the period set forth above, or upon any breach under this Lease by Tenant, including specifically Tenant’s failure to pay Rent or to abide by its obligations under Sections 7.1 and 15.2 below, Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon said Letter of Credit by the issuance of Landlord’s sole written demand to the issuing financial institution. Any such draw shall be without waiver of any rights Landlord may have under this Lease or at law or in equity as a result of any Default hereunder by Tenant.

Tenant has advised Landlord that Tenant requires additional time to obtain the Letter of Credit. Tenant is required to deliver an approved and effective Letter of Credit to Landlord no later than 14 days after the mutual execution and delivery of this Lease by the parties. Tenant’s failure to deliver such Letter of Credit to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this paragraph shall constitute a Default under Section 20 of the Lease.

Letter of Credit. Tenant shall satisfy Tenant’s obligations under Section 5.1 by posting with Landlord a Letter of Credit meeting the requirements of this Section 5.2 (the “Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit shall be # irrevocable; # issued by Silicon Valley Bank or a financial institution approved by Landlord in Landlord’s sole and reasonable discretion; # in a form permitting partial and multiple drawings; # for multiple terms of one (1) year each in duration, renewed at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration thereof, the entire term extending until the date which is ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Term, as such Term may be extended pursuant to the provisions of the Lease; and # be in the form attached hereto as [Exhibit I] or otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Landlord, in its reasonable discretion. If a partial drawing occurs under the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall, upon demand but not more than five (5) business days after Landlord notifies Tenant of such partial drawing, cause the financial institution to reissue the Letter of Credit in the amount then currently required under the terms of the Lease. In addition, within five (5) business days after the bank that issued the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord enters into any form of regulatory or governmental receivership or other similar regulatory or governmental proceeding, including any receivership instituted or commenced by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), or is otherwise declared insolvent or downgraded by the FDIC, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit in the same form and in the amount then currently required under the terms of the Lease and from a financial institution approved by Landlord in its sole and reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be entitled to draw down the entire amount of the Letter of Credit, without any notice, at any time on or after the earlier of # the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant under the Lease; or # the thirtieth (30th) day preceding the expiration date of the Letter of Credit in the event Tenant is required to and fails to replace the Letter of Credit. If Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit (or Tenant replaces the Letter of Credit with a Security Deposit in the form of cash with Landlord’s approval), then such cash shall be held by Landlord as a Security Deposit until disbursement or application in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

Delivery of Letter of Credit. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) business days after Tenant's execution of this Lease, an unconditional, clean, irrevocable letter of credit (the "L-C") in the amount set forth in Section 8 of the Lease Summary (the "L-C Amount"), which L-C shall be issued by a money-center, solvent and nationally recognized bank (a bank which accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a local San Francisco Bay Area office which will negotiate a letter of credit or will accept draw requests by facsimile, and whose deposits are insured by the FDIC) reasonably acceptable to Landlord (such approved, issuing bank being referred to herein as the "Bank"), which Bank must have a rating from Standard and Poors Corporation of A- or better (or any equivalent rating thereto from any successor or substitute rating service selected by Lessor) and a letter of credit issuer rating from Moody’s Investor Service of [[Unknown Identifier]] or better (or any equivalent rating thereto from any successor rating agency thereto)) (collectively, the "Bank’s Credit Rating Threshold"), and which L-C shall be in the form of Exhibit H, attached hereto. Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the L-C. The L-C shall # be "callable" at sight, irrevocable and unconditional, # be maintained in effect, whether through renewal or extension, for the period commencing on the date of this Lease and continuing until the date (the "L-C Expiration Date") that is no less than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Lease Term as the same may be extended, and Tenant shall deliver a new L-C or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the L-C then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, # be fully assignable by Landlord, its successors and assigns, # permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and # be otherwise subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993-Rev), International Chamber of Commerce Publication #500, or the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the L-C if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: # such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease, and has not been paid within applicable notice and cure periods (or, if Landlord is prevented by law from providing notice, within the period for payment set forth in the Lease), or # Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, "Bankruptcy Code"), or # an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code that is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, or # the Lease has been rejected, or is deemed rejected, under Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, following the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or the filing of an involuntary petition against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or # the Bank has notified Landlord that the L-C will not be renewed or extended through the L-C Expiration Date, and Tenant has not provided a replacement L-C that satisfies the requirements of this Lease at least thirty (30) days prior to such expiration, or # Tenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship, or becomes subject to similar proceedings under Federal or State law, or # Tenant executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or # if # any of the Bank's Fitch Ratings (or other comparable ratings to the extent the Fitch Ratings are no longer available) have been reduced below the Bank's Credit Rating Threshold, or # there is otherwise a material adverse change in the financial condition of the Bank, and Tenant has failed to provide Landlord with a replacement letter of credit, conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 21 (including, but not limited to, the requirements placed on the issuing Bank more particularly set forth in this Section 21.1 above), in the amount of the applicable L-C Amount, within ten (10) days following Landlord’s written demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary) (each of the foregoing being an "L-C Draw Event"). The L-C shall be honored by the Bank regardless of whether Tenant disputes Landlord's right to draw upon the L-C. In addition, in the event the Bank is placed into receivership or conservatorship by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor or similar entity, then, effective as of the date such receivership or conservatorship occurs, said L-C shall be deemed to fail to meet the requirements of this Article 21, and, within ten (10) days following Landlord's notice to Tenant of such receivership or conservatorship (the "L-C FDIC Replacement Notice"), Tenant shall replace such L-C with a substitute letter of credit from a different issuer (which issuer shall meet or exceed the Bank's Credit Rating Threshold and shall otherwise be acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion) and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21. If Tenant fails to replace such L-C with such conforming, substitute letter of credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 21.1, then, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to declare Tenant in default of this Lease for which there shall be no notice or grace or cure periods being applicable thereto (other than the aforesaid ten (10) day period). Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any and all Tenant’s and Bank’s costs incurred with the review of any replacement L-C, which replacement is required pursuant to this Section or is otherwise requested by Tenant. In the event of an assignment by Tenant of its interest in the Lease (and irrespective of whether Landlord's consent is required for such assignment), the acceptance of any replacement or substitute letter of credit by Landlord from the assignee shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, and the actual and reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such determination shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days of billing.

In lieu of the cash Security Deposit, Tenant may deliver to Landlord in the form of a letter of credit from a banking institution having a net worth of at least ONE BILLION U.S. DOLLARS and meeting the other criteria set forth in this paragraph that a letter of credit issuer must satisfy. The letter of credit shall be in form and content acceptable to Landlord (also at its sole discretion) (the form attached hereto as Exhibit I shall be deemed acceptable to Landlord) for the account of Landlord. Said letter of credit shall be for a term of not less than one # year and shall be automatically renewed by the bank (without notice from Landlord) (i.e. an “evergreen” letter of credit), until Landlord shall be required to return the security to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease but in no event earlier than ninety (90) days after the Expiration Date, and any renewed letter of credit shall be delivered to Landlord no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the letter of credit then held by Landlord. If any portion of the security deposit shall be utilized by Landlord in the manner permitted by this Lease, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after request by Landlord, replenish the security account by depositing with Landlord, by letter of credit, an amount equal to that utilized by Landlord. Failure of Tenant to comply strictly with the provisions of this Article shall constitute a material breach of this Lease and Landlord shall be entitled to present the letter of credit then held by it for payment (without notice to Tenant). In the event of a bank failure or insolvency affecting the letter of credit, Tenant shall replace same within twenty (20) days after being requested to do so by Landlord. If Landlord reasonably believes that the letter of credit issuer is financially troubled or at risk of failure, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, shall have the right to draw on the letter of credit or require Tenant to substitute letter of credit from a banking institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The letter of credit shall be transferable in connection with a transfer of the Building and Tenant shall be solely responsible for any transfer fees imposed by the Bank.

Delivery of Letter of Credit. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, concurrently with Tenant's execution of this Lease, an unconditional, clean, irrevocable letter of credit (the "L‑C") in the amount set forth in Section 8 of the Lease Summary (the "L‑C Amount"), which L‑C shall be issued by a money-center, solvent and nationally recognized bank (a bank which accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a local San Francisco Bay Area office which will negotiate a letter of credit, and whose deposits are insured by the FDIC) reasonably acceptable to Landlord (such approved, issuing bank being referred to herein as the "Bank"), which Bank must have a rating from Standard and Poors Corporation of A- or better (or any equivalent rating thereto from any successor or substitute rating service selected by Lessor) and a letter of credit issuer rating from Moody’s Investor Service of [[Unknown Identifier]] or better (or any equivalent rating thereto from any successor rating agency thereto)) (collectively, the “Bank’s Credit Rating Threshold”), and which L‑C shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F, attached hereto or such other form as is reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the L‑C. The L‑C shall # be "callable" at sight, irrevocable and unconditional, # be maintained in effect, whether through renewal or extension, for the period commencing on the date of this Lease and continuing until the date (the "L‑C Expiration Date") that is no less than ninety-five (95) days after the expiration of the Lease Term as the same may be extended, and Tenant shall deliver a new L‑C or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the L‑C then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, # be fully assignable by Landlord, its successors and assigns, # permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and # be otherwise subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary

Section # Maintenance of Letter of Credit by Tenant. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord on the Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be less than the Letter of Credit Amount, Tenant shall, within five (5) days thereafter, provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency, and any such additional letter(s) of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Article 28. Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.
