ARTICLE 3:

RENT, LATE CHARGES AND SECURITY DEPOSITS

3.1 BASE MONTHLY RENT: Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date (as determined pursuant to Article 2.3 above) and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without prior demand therefore or offset, in advance on the first day of each calendar month, as base monthly rent, the amount set forth as “Base Monthly Rent” in Article 1 (the “Base Monthly Rent”).

3.2 ADDITIONAL RENT: Subject to Section 2.3, Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date (as determined pursuant to Article 2.3 above) November 1, 2014, and continuing throughout the Lease Term, in addition to the Base Monthly Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord without offset as additional rent (the “Additional Rent”) the following amounts:

A. An amount equal to all Property Operating Expenses (as defined in Article 13) incurred by Landlord. Payment shall be made by whichever of the following methods (or combination of methods) is (are) from time to time designated by Landlord:

(1) Landlord may xxxx to Tenant, on a periodic basis not more frequently than monthly, the amount of such expenses (or group of expenses) as paid or incurred by Landlord, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such expenses within ten days after receipt of a written xxxx therefore from Landlord; and/or

(2) Landlord may deliver to Tenant Landlord’s reasonable estimate of any given expense (such as Landlord’s Insurance Costs or Real Property Taxes), or group of expenses, which it anticipates will be paid or incurred for the ensuing calendar or fiscal year, as Landlord may determine, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the estimated amount of such expenses for such year in equal monthly, installments during such year with the installments of Base Monthly Rent.

(3) Landlord reserves the right to change from time to time the methods of billing Tenant for any given expense or group of expenses or the periodic basis on which such expenses are billed.

B. Landlord’s share of the consideration received by Tenant upon certain assignments and sublettings as required by Article 7;

C. Any legal fees and costs that Tenant is obligated to pay or reimburse to Landlord pursuant to Article 13; and

D. Any other charges or reimbursements due Landlord from Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease other than late charges and interest on defaulted rent.

3.3 YEAR-END ADJUSTMENTS: If Landlord shall have elected to xxxx Tenant for the Property Operating Expenses (or any group of such expenses) on an estimated basis in accordance with the provisions of Article 3.2A(2) above, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant following the end of the applicable calendar or fiscal year, as the case may be, a statement setting forth (i) the amount of such expenses paid or incurred during the just ended calendar or fiscal year, as appropriate, and (ii) the amount that Tenant has paid to Landlord for credit against such expenses for such

        Landlord Initials             W        
         
        Tenant Initials           NH        
         

period. If Tenant shall have paid more than its obligation for such expenses for the stated period, Landlord shall, at its election, either (i) credit the amount of such overpayment toward the next ensuing payment or payments of Additional Rent that would otherwise be due or (ii) refund in cash to Tenant the amount of such overpayment. If such year-end statement shall show that Tenant did not pay its obligation for such expenses in full, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such underpayment within ten days from Landlord’s billing of same to Tenant. The provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to receive itemized details of actual Operating Expenses incurred and, at Tenant’s sole cost, audit the statement and supporting details of the Operating Expenses.

3.4 LATE CHARGE AND INTEREST ON RENT IN DEFAULT: Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant of any monthly installment of Base Monthly Rent or any Additional Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expense not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amounts of which are extremely difficult or impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will include, without limitation, administration and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses. Therefore, if any installment of Base Monthly Rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant within six calendar days after the same becomes due and Tenant fails to remedy within four (4) business days following receipt of written notice of such late payment from Landlord, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to the amount set forth in Article 1 as the “Late Charge Amount”, and if any Additional Rent is not received by Landlord within six business days after same becomes due and Tenant fails to remedy within four (4) business days following notice of such late payment from Landlord, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to ten percent of the Additional Rent not so paid. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the anticipated loss Landlord would suffer by reason of Tenant’s failure to make timely payment. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within to pay any rental installment or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay each rental installment due under this Lease when due, including the right to terminate this Lease. If any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of six calendar days and Tenant fails to remedy within four (4) business days following receipt of written notice of such late payment from Landlord, then, in addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any rent that is not so paid from said sixth day at the then maximum rate of interest not prohibited or made usurious by Law until paid.

3.5 PAYMENT OF RENT: All rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, reduction or offset for any reason whatsoever, to Landlord at such address as Landlord may designate from time to time. Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent shall be appropriately prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term. The failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Rent as required pursuant to this Lease when due shall be treated the same as a failure by Tenant to pay Base Monthly Rent when due, and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant as Landlord would have if Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent when due.

3.6 PREPAID RENT: Concurrent with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount set forth in Article I as First Month’s Prepaid Rent” as prepayment of rent for credit against the first installment(s) of Base Monthly Rent due hereunder. Additionally, Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount set forth in Article I as “Last Month’s Prepaid Rent” as prepayment of rent for credit against the last installment(s) of Base Monthly Rent due hereunder, subject, however, to the provisions of Article 3.7 below.

3.7 SECURITY DEPOSIT: Concurrent with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 as the “Security Deposit” as security for the performance by Tenant of the terms of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, and not as prepayment of rent. Landlord may apply such portion or portions of the Security Deposit as are reasonably necessary for the following purposes: (i) to remedy any default by Tenant in the payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent or a late charge or interest on defaulted rent; (ii) the reasonable cost to repair damage to the Leased Premises, the Building or the Outside Areas caused by Tenant; (iii) the reasonable cost to clean and repair the Leased Premises, the Building or the Outside Areas following their surrender to Landlord if not surrendered in the condition required pursuant to the provisions of Article 2; and (iv) the reasonable cost to remedy any other default of Tenant to the extent permitted by Law including, without limitation, paying in full on Tenant’s behalf any sums claimed by material men or contractors of Tenant to be owing to them by Tenant for work done or improvements made at Tenant’s request to the Leased Premises. In this regard, Tenant hereby waives any restriction on the uses to which the Security Deposit may be applied as contained in Section 1950.7(c) of the California

Civil Code and/or any successor statute. In the event the Security Deposit or any portion thereof is so used, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, promptly upon demand, an amount in cash sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full original sum. If Tenant fails to promptly restore the Security Deposit and if Tenant shall have paid to Landlord any sums as “Last Month’s Prepaid Rent”, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedy Landlord may have under this Lease, reduce the amount of Tenant’s Last Month’s Prepaid Rent by transferring all or portions of such Last Month’s Prepaid Rent to Tenant’s Security Deposit until such Security Deposit is restored to the amount set forth in Article 1. Landlord shall not be deemed a trustee of the Security Deposit. Landlord may use the Security Deposit in Landlord’s ordinary business and shall not be required to segregate it from its general accounts. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. If Landlord transfers the Building or the Property during the Lease Term, Landlord may pay the Security Deposit to any subsequent owner in conformity with the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and/or any successor statute, in which event the transferring landlord shall be released from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Tenant specifically grants to Landlord (and Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1950.7 to the contrary) a period of sixty days following a surrender of the Leased Premises by Tenant to Landlord within which to return the Security Deposit (less permitted deductions) to Tenant and provide Tenant with an itemized list of proposed Security Deposit deductions, it being agreed between Landlord and Tenant that sixty days is a reasonable period of time within which to inspect the Leased Premises, make required repairs, receive and verify workmen’s xxxxxxxx therefore, and prepare a final accounting with respect to such deposit. In no event shall the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, be considered prepaid rent.

Concurrent with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a commercial letter of credit in form and substance acceptable to Landlord from a financial institution acceptable to Landlord in the amount of four hundred fifty thousand dollars ($450,000) which shall be held by Landlord during the term of the Lease as an additional “Security Deposit” under the terms of this Section 3.7. Should the term of the letter of credit be shorter than the term of this Lease, Landlord may negotiate the full amount of the letter of credit on month prior to its expiration.

the payment of rent, and (ii) if Landlord elects simply to terminate this Lease (or, in the case of a partial sublease, terminate this Lease as to the portion to be so sublet), the Lease shall so terminate in its entirety (or as to the space to be so sublet) fifteen (15) days after Landlord has notified Tenant and Tenant’s successors in writing of such election. In the case of a partial termination of the Lease, the Base Monthly Rent and Tenant’s or Tenant’s successors’ proportionate share shall be reduced to an amount which bears the same relationship to the original amount thereof as the area of that part of the Leased Premises which remains subject to the Lease bears to the original area of the Leased Premises. Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s successors shall execute a cancellation agreement with respect to the Lease to effect such termination or partial termination, or (b) if Landlord shall not have elected to cancel and terminate this Lease, to either (i) consent to such requested assignment or subletting subject to Tenant’s and Tenant’s successors’ compliance with the conditions set forth in Article 7.4 below or (ii) refuse to so consent to such requested assignment or subletting, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably refused. It shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting if (i) the proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s anticipated use of the Premises is more intensive than Tenant’s and/or involves the storage, use or disposal of a Hazardous Material; (ii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant has been required by any prior landlord, lender or governmental authority to clean up Hazardous Materials unlawfully discharged by the proposed assignee or subtenant; (iii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant is subject to investigation or enforcement order or proceeding by any governmental authority in connection with the use, disposal or storage of a Hazardous Material (iv) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a subsidiary of another entity and the parent entity does not guarantee the obligations under this Lease, or (iv) all of the assets of Tenant shall not be held by the proposed assignee or subtenant following the transfer. Tenant and Tenant’s successors covenant and agree to supply to Landlord, upon request, with all necessary or relevant information which Landlord may reasonably request respecting such proposed assignment or subletting and/or the proposed assignee or sublessee. Landlord’s review period shall not commence until Landlord has received all information requested by Landlord.

7.4 CONDITIONS TO LANDLORD’S CONSENT: If Landlord elects to consent, or shall have been ordered to so consent by a court of competent jurisdiction, to such requested assignment, subletting or encumbrance, such consent shall be expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of each of the conditions below set forth, and any purported assignment, subletting or encumbrance made or ordered prior to the full and complete satisfaction of each of the following conditions shall be void and, at the election of Landlord, which election may be exercised at any time following such a purported assignment, subletting or encumbrance shall constitute a material default by Tenant under this Lease giving Landlord the absolute right to terminate this Lease. The conditions are as follows:

A. Landlord having approved in form and substance the assignment or sublease agreement (or the encumbrance agreement), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord if the requirements of this Article 7 are otherwise complied with. Without limiting the foregoing such agreement shall contain a provision that it may not be amended or modified without Landlord’s prior written consent, the absence of which will cause any such amendment or modification to be null and void.

B. Each such sublessee or assignee having agreed, in writing satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel and for the benefit of Landlord, to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the obligations of this Lease to be performed by Tenant (or, in the case of an encumbrance, each such encumbrancer having similarly agreed to assume, be bound by and to perform Tenant’s obligations upon a foreclosure or transfer in lieu thereof). Tenant shall remain fully responsible and obligated for all obligations under this Lease and shall have the financial ability to do so, including but not limited to all monetary obligations, after such consented sublease or assignment.

C. Tenant having fully and completely performed all of its obligations under the terms of this Lease through and including the date of the requested consent, as well as through and including the date such assignment or subletting is to become effective.

D. Tenant having reimbursed to Landlord all reasonable costs and attorneys fees incurred by Landlord in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested subletting, assignment or encumbrance.

E. Tenant having delivered to Landlord a complete and fully-executed duplicate original of such sublease agreement, assignment agreement or encumbrance (as applicable) and all related agreements.

F. Tenant having paid, or having agreed in writing to pay as to future payments, to Landlord one hundred percent of all assignment consideration or excess rentals to be paid to Tenant or to any other on Tenant’s behalf or for Tenant’s benefit for such assignment or subletting.

7.5 ADJUSTMENT TO BASE MONTHLY RENT: In the event Tenant subleases all or a portion of the Premises or assigns its interest in this Lease, the Base Monthly Rent shall be adjusted as of the effective day of such sublease or assignment to be the greater of (i) the Base Monthly Rent as stated in this Lease, or (ii) the Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent. The “Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent” shall be determined by Landlord in its reasonable opinion. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s opinion of the Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent, Tenant must so notify Landlord in writing within five (5) business days following receipt of Landlord’s notice of its opinion of the Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent. Failure to notify Landlord within said five (5) business day time period shall be conclusive proof that Tenant accepts Landlord’s opinion of the Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent. In the event Tenant provides notice of its objection to Landlord’s determination of the Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent within the required time period, Landlord and Tenant shall determine the Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent using the following process: Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a real estate appraiser with at least five (5) years full-time commercial/industrial appraisal experience in Santa Xxxxx County to appraise and determine the Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent the Leased Premises, in their then existing condition for the use specified in the Lease could be leased for, on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Lease, to a qualified tenant ready, willing and able to lease the Leased Premises for a term equal to the remaining term of the Lease. If either party does not appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its appraiser, the other party can then apply to the President of the Santa Xxxxx County Real Estate Board or the presiding Judge of the Superior Court of that County for the selection of a second appraiser who meets the qualifications stated above. The failing party shall bear the cost of appointing the second appraiser and of paying the second appraiser’s fee. The two appraisers shall attempt to establish the Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent for the Leased Premises. If the two appraisers are unable to agree on the Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent for the Leased Premises within ten (10) days after the second appraiser has been selected or appointed, then the two appraisers shall attempt to select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated above. If they fail to agree on a third appraiser, either party can follow the above procedure for having an appraiser appointed by the Real Estate Board or a judiciary. Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of appointing the third appraiser and of paying the third appraiser’s fee. Unless the three appraisers are able to agree on the Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent for the Leased Premises within ten (10) days after the selection or appointment of the third appraiser, the two appraisal amounts being calculated most closely together, after having discarded the appraisal amount which most greatly varies from the other two appraisal amounts, shall be added together then divided by two (2). The resulting rental amount shall be defined as the Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent for the Leased Premises. In no event, however, shall the resulting Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent be less than the Base Monthly Rent as stated in this Lease. From the effective date of the sublease or assignment until a final determination is made using the above described procedure, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of the Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent initially determined by Landlord with an appropriate adjustment made immediately following the final determination of the Then Fair Market Base Monthly Rent.

7.6 PAYMENTS: All payments required by this Article to be made to Landlord shall be made in cash in full as and when they become due. At the time Tenant, Tenant’s assignee or sublessee makes each such payment to Landlord, Tenant or Tenant’s assignee or sublessee, as the case may be, shall deliver to Landlord an itemized statement in reasonable detail showing the method by which the amount due Landlord was calculated and certified by the party making such payment as true and correct. Landlord may require that all payments of Excess Rentals and/or Assignment Consideration to be made hereunder be made directly to Landlord by such Transferee.

7.7 GOOD FAITH: The rights granted to Tenant by this Article are granted in consideration of Tenant’s express covenant that all pertinent allocations which are made by Tenant between the rental value of the Leased Premises and the value of any of Tenant’s personal property which may be conveyed or leased concurrently with and which may reasonably be considered a part of the same transaction as the permitted assignment or subletting shall be made fairly, honestly, reasonably, and in good faith. If Tenant shall breach this Covenant of Good Faith, Landlord may immediately declare Tenant to be in default under the terms of this Lease and terminate this Lease and/or exercise any other rights and remedies Landlord would have under the terms of this Lease in the case of a material default by Tenant under this Lease.

7.8 EFFECT OF LANDLORD’S CONSENT: No subletting, assignment or encumbrance, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay rent and to perform all of the obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or encumbrances of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the Leased Premises shall not be deemed to be a

        Landlord Initials             W        
         
        Tenant Initials           NH        
         

consent to any subsequent assignment, encumbrance or subletting. If Landlord shall have been ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to consent to a requested assignment or subletting, or such an assignment or subletting shall have been ordered over the objection of Landlord, such assignment or subletting shall not be binding between the assignee (or sublessee) and Landlord until such time as all conditions set forth in Article 7.4 above have been fully satisfied (to the extent not then satisfied) by the assignee or sublessee, including, without limitation, the payment to Landlord of all agreed assignment considerations and/or excess rentals then due Landlord.

7.9 PROHIBITED FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS: Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s consent, enter into or do any of the following acts if to do so would result in Tenant having a net worth or net income after such action or event that is less than Tenant’s net work and/or net income as of the date of this Lease: (i) make any distribution or declare or pay any cash dividends on, or purchase, acquire, redeem or retire any of its capital stock, of any class, whether now or hereafter outstanding, (ii) acquire, merge, or consolidate with or into any other business organization, (iii) make any changes in Tenant’s financial structure or (iv) borrow funds, pledge assets, or lease or sell equipment or other property. Landlord and Tenant understand and agree that the value of the Leased Premises is influenced by Tenant’s financial standing, and the provisions of this section are intended to prohibit those voluntary actions of the Tenant that are not conducted in the normal course of its business which would reduce Tenant’s net worth and/or net income and thereby would adversely effect the value of the Leased Premises.

ARTICLE 8:

LIMITATION ON LANDLORD’S LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY

8.1 LIMITATION ON LANDLORD’S LIABILITY AND RELEASE: Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord and its partners, principals, officers, agents and employees from, any and all liability, whether in contract, tort or on any other basis, for any injury to or any damage sustained by Tenant, Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees; any damage to Tenant’s property; or any loss to Tenant’s business, loss of Tenant’s profits or other financial loss of Tenant resulting from or attributable to the condition of, the management of, the repair or maintenance of, the protection of, the supply of services or utilities to, the damage to or destruction of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Project or the Common Areas, including without limitation (i) the failure, interruption, rationing or other curtailment or cessation in the supply of electricity, water, gas or other utility service to the Project, the Building or the Leased Premises; (ii) the vandalism or forcible entry into the Building or the Leased Premises; (iii) the penetration of water into or onto any portion of the Leased Premises through roof leaks or otherwise; (iv) the failure to provide security and/or adequate lighting in or about the Project, the Building or the Leased Premises; (v) the existence of any design or construction defects within the Project, the Building or the Leased Premises; (vi) the failure of any mechanical systems to function properly (such as the HVAC systems); or (vi) the blockage of access to any portion of the Project, the Building or the Leased Premises, except that Tenant does not so release Landlord from such liability to the extent such damage was proximately caused by Landlord’s active gross negligence, willful misconduct, or Landlord’s intentional failure to perform an obligation expressly undertaken pursuant to this Lease after a reasonable period of time shall have lapsed following receipt of written notice from Tenant to so perform such obligation. In this regard, Tenant acknowledges that it is fully apprised of the provisions of Law relating to releases, and particularly to those provisions contained in Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

Notwithstanding such statutory provision, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge, Tenant hereby (i) waives the benefit of such statutory provision and (ii) acknowledges that, subject to the exceptions specifically set forth herein, the release and discharge set forth in this Article is a full and complete settlement and release and discharge of all claims and is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all claims which Tenant, as of the date hereof, does not know of or suspect to exist in its favor.

8.2 TENANT’S INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD: Tenant shall defend with competent counsel satisfactory to Landlord any claims made or legal actions filed or threatened against Landlord with respect to the violation of any law, or the death, bodily injury, personal injury, property damage, or interference with

contractual or property rights suffered by any third party (including other tenants with the Project) occurring within the Leased Premises or resulting from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, the Building or the Outside Areas, or resulting from Tenant’s activities in or about the Leased Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas or the Property, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord, Landlord’s principals, employees, agents and contractors harmless from any loss, liability, penalties, or expense whatsoever (including any loss attributable to vacant space which otherwise would have been leased, but for such activities) resulting therefrom, except to the extent proximately caused by the active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. This indemnity agreement shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, provided that Tenant shall not be required to indemnify Landlord under this section 8.2 with respect to events that first occur after the later of (a) the date of the expiration, or sooner termination, of this Lease, or (b) the date Tenant actually vacates the Premises, provided that Landlord has actual notice of such vacation.

B. The Building is damaged by an uninsured peril, which peril Landlord was required to insure against pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 of this Lease, to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore the Building exceeds the lesser of (i) the insurance proceeds which would have been available had Landlord carried such required insurance, or (ii) seventy-five percent of the then actual replacement cost thereof;

C. The Building is damaged by an uninsured peril, which peril Landlord was not required to insure against pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 of this Lease, to any extent.

10.4 TENANT’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE: If the Leased Premises, the Building or the Outside Areas are damaged by any peril and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Article, then as soon as reasonably practicable, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the written opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant as to when the restoration work required of Landlord may be complete. Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which option may be exercised in the case of A or B below only by delivery to Landlord of a written notice of election to terminate within seven days after Tenant receives from Landlord the estimate of the time needed to complete such restoration:

A. The Leased Premises are damaged by any peril and, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the Leased Premises cannot be substantially completed within nine months after the date of such notice from Landlord; or

B.

Any termination under this Subarticle shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay to Landlord all Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent then or thereafter due, or any other sums due or thereafter accruing to Landlord, or from any claim against Tenant for damages previously accrued or then or thereafter accruing. In no event shall any one or more of the following actions by Landlord, in the absence of a written election by Landlord to terminate the Lease, constitute a termination of the Lease:

(2) Consent to any subletting of the Leased Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or otherwise; or

(3) Any other action by Landlord or Landlord’s agents intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, including, without limitation, any action taken to maintain and preserve the Leased Premises or any action taken to relet the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, for the account of Tenant and in the name of Tenant.

C. In the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Leased Premises, Landlord may terminate this Lease, but this Lease shall not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of termination. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination, Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent as it becomes due under this Lease as provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.4, as in effect on the Effective Date of this Lease.

D. In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord’s election, to damages in an amount as set forth in California Civil Code Section 1951.2, as in effect on the Effective Date of this Lease. For purposes of computing damages pursuant to Section 1951.2, an interest rate equal to the maximum rate of interest then not prohibited by Law shall be used where permitted. Such damages shall include, without limitation:

(1) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, at the time of award plus one percent; and

(2) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including without limitation, the following: (i) expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring

the Leased Premises; (ii) expenses for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Leased Premises for the purpose of reletting, including removal of existing leasehold improvements and/or installation of additional leasehold improvements (regardless of how the same is funded, including reduction of rent, a direct payment or allowance to a new tenant, or otherwise); (iii) broker’s fees, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Leased Premises; (iv) costs of carrying and maintaining the Leased Premises which costs would have been billed to Tenant as Additional Rent had Tenant not defaulted and which include but are not limited to taxes, insurance premiums, utility charges, landscape maintenance costs, costs of maintaining electrical, plumbing and HVAC equipment and costs for providing security; (v) expenses incurred in removing, disposing of and/or storing any of Tenant’s personal property, inventory or trade fixtures remaining therein; (vi) attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord but not limited to taxable costs) in retaking possession of the Leased Premises, establishing damages hereunder, and re-leasing the Leased Premises; and (vii) any other expenses, costs or damages otherwise incurred or suffered as a result of Tenant’s default.

12.3 LANDLORD’S DEFAULT AND TENANT’S REMEDIES: In the event Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall nevertheless not be in default under the terms of this Lease until such time as Tenant shall have first given Landlord written notice specifying the nature of such failure to perform its obligations, and then only after Landlord shall have had a reasonable period of time following its receipt of such notice within which to perform such obligations. In the event of Landlord’s default as above set forth, then, and only then, Tenant shall have the following remedies only:

A. Tenant may then proceed in equity or at law to compel Landlord to perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such failure to perform (except as and to the extent Tenant has waived its right to damages as provided in this Lease).

B. Tenant, at its option, may then cure any default of Landlord at Landlord’s cost. If, pursuant to this Subarticle, Tenant reasonably pays any sum to any third party or does any act that requires the payment of any sum to any third part at any time by reason of Landlord’s default, the sum paid by, Tenant shall be immediately due from Landlord to Tenant at the time Tenant supplies Landlord with an invoice therefor (provided such invoice sets forth and is accompanied by a written statement of Tenant setting forth in reasonable detail the amount paid, the party to whom it was paid, the date it was paid, and the reasons giving rise to such payment), together with interest at twelve percent per annum from the date of such invoice until Tenant is reimbursed by Landlord. Tenant may not offset such sums against any installment of rent due Landlord under the terms of this Lease.

12.4 LIMITATION ON TENANT’S RECOURSE: If Landlord is a corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, unincorporated association, or other form of business entity, Tenant agrees that (i) the obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall not constitute personal obligations of the officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders, or other principals of such business entity and (ii) Tenant shall have recourse only to Landlord’s then equity interest, if any, in the Property for the satisfaction of such obligations and not against the assets of such officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders or principals (other than to the extent of their interest in the Property). Tenant shall look exclusively to such equity interest of Landlord, if any, in the Property for payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Landlord hereunder, and Landlord is hereby released and relieved of any other obligations hereunder. Additionally, if Landlord is a partnership, then Tenant covenants and agrees:

A. No partner of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in any suit or action brought by Tenant with respect to any alleged breach of this Lease (except to the extent necessary to secure jurisdiction over the partnership and then only for that sole purpose);

B. No service of process shall be made against any partner of Landlord except for the sole purpose of securing jurisdiction over the partnership; and

C. No writ of execution shall be levied against the assets of any partner of Landlord other than to the extent of his interest in Property.

Tenant further agrees that each of the foregoing covenants and agreements shall be enforceable by Landlord and by any partner of Landlord and shall be applicable to any actual or alleged misrepresentation or non-disclosure made respecting this Lease or the Leased Premises or any actual or alleged failure, default or breach of any covenant or agreement either expressly or implicitly contained in this Lease or imposed by statute or at common law.

12.5 TENANT’S WAIVER: Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of Article 12.3 above are intended to supersede and replace the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(l), 1941 and 1942, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(l), 1941 and 1942 and/or any similar or successor Law regarding Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the rent due under this Lease.

ARTICLE 13

GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.1 TAXES ON TENANT’S PROPERTY: Tenant shall pay before delinquency any and all taxes, assessments, license fees, use fees, permit fees and public charges of whatever nature or description levied, assessed or imposed against Tenant or Landlord by a governmental agency arising out of, caused by reason of or based upon Tenant’s estate in this Lease, Tenant’s ownership of property, improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises or the Outside Areas, improvements made by Landlord for Tenant’s use within the Leased Premises or the Outside Areas, Tenant’s use (or estimated use) of public facilities or services or Tenant’s consumption (or estimated consumption) of public utilities, energy, water or other resources. Upon demand by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of these payments. If any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges are levied against Landlord, Landlord’s property, the Building or the Property, or if the assessed value of the Building or the Property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon same, then Landlord, after giving written notice to Tenant, shall have the right, regardless of the validity thereof, to pay such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge and xxxx Tenant, as Additional Rent, the amount of such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so paid on Tenant’s behalf. Tenant shall, within ten days from the date it receives an invoice from Landlord setting forth the amount of such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so levied, pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount set forth in said invoice. Failure by Tenant to pay the amount so invoiced within said ten day period shall be conclusively deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall have the right, and the Landlord’s full cooperation if Tenant is not then in default under the terms of this Lease, to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover from the taxing authority the amount of any such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so paid.

13.2 HOLDING OVER: This Lease shall terminate without further notice on the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article 1). Any holding over by Tenant after expiration of the Lease Term shall neither constitute a renewal nor extension of this Lease nor give Tenant any rights in or to the Leased Premises except as expressly provided in this Article. Any such holding over shall be deemed an unlawful detainer of the Leased Premises unless Landlord has consented to same. Any such holding over to which Landlord has consented shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable, except that the Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent of the Base Monthly Rent payable during the last full month immediately preceding such holding over.

13.3 SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES: This Lease is subject to and subordinate to all underlying ground leases, mortgages and deeds of trust which affect the Building or the Property and which are of public record as of the Effective Date of this Lease, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. However, if the lessor under any such ground lease or any lender holding any such mortgage or deed of trust shall advise Landlord that it desires or requires this Lease to be made prior and superior thereto, then, upon written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents or instruments which Landlord and such lessor or lender deem necessary or desirable to make this Lease prior thereto. Tenant hereby consents to Landlord’s ground leasing the land underlying the Building or the Property and/or encumbering the Building or the Property as security for future loans on such terms as Landlord shall desire, all of which future ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust shall be subject to and subordinate to this Lease. However, if any lessor under any such future ground lease or any lender holding such future mortgage or deed of trust shall desire or require that this Lease be made subject to and subordinate to such future ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust, then Tenant agrees, within ten days after Landlord’s written request therefor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all documents or instruments requested by Landlord or by such lessor or lender as may be necessary or proper to assure the subordination of this Lease to such future ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust.

13.4 TENANT’S ATTORNMENT UPON FORECLOSURE: Tenant shall, upon request, attorn (i) to any purchaser of the Building or the Property at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted pursuant to any security instrument encumbering the Building or the Property, (ii) to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure of any security interest encumbering the Building or the Property, or (iii) to the lessor under any underlying ground lease of the land underlying the Building or the Property, should such ground lease be terminated; provided that such purchaser, grantee or lessor recognizes Tenant’s rights under this Lease.

13.5 MORTGAGEE PROTECTION: In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered mail to any Lender or lessor under any underlying ground lease who shall have requested, in writing, to Tenant that it be provided with such notice, and Tenant shall offer such Lender or lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Leased Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure or other appropriate legal proceedings if reasonably necessary to effect a cure.

13.6 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES: Tenant will, following any request by Landlord, promptly execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iv) certifying such other information about this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, its Lender or prospective lenders, investor or purchaser of the Building or the Property. Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such estoppel certificate within ten business days after Landlord’s request therefor shall be a material default by Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies available to Landlord as Landlord would otherwise have in the case of any other material default by Tenant, including the right to terminate this Lease and xxx for damages proximately caused thereby, it being agreed and understood by Tenant that Tenant’s failure to so deliver such estoppel certificate in a timely manner could result in Landlord being unable to perform committed obligations to other third parties which were made by Landlord in reliance upon this covenant of Tenant. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Article may be relied upon by any Lender or purchaser or prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the Property, or any interest herein.

13.7 TENANT’S FINANCIAL INFORMATION: Tenant shall, within five business days after Landlord’s request therefor deliver to Landlord a copy of a current financial statement prepared in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business including an income statement for the most recent twelve month period and a balance sheet and any such other information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding Tenant’s financial condition. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is relying upon the financial information provided to Landlord by Tenant prior to entering into this lease and the information to be provided to Landlord by Tenant during the term of this Lease. Landlord shall be entitled to disclose such financial statements or other information to its Lender, to any present or prospective principal of or investor in Landlord, or to any prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the Property or any portion thereof or interest therein. Any such financial statement or other information which is marked “confidential” or company secrets” (or is otherwise similarly marked by Tenant) shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed by Landlord to any third party except as specifically provided in this Article, unless the same becomes a part of the public domain without the fault of Landlord. Landlord will limit its requests for financial information to once a year, and/or in the event Landlord has reason to suspect that there has been a significant change in Tenant’s financial position, and/or as requested by Landlord’s current or prospective lender or a prospective purchaser of the Property.

13.8 TRANSFER BY LANDLORD: Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in the Building, the Property, or any portion thereof at any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer and (ii) shall be relieved of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which have accrued before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to assume and perform all such prior obligations of the Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall attorn to any such transferee. After the date of any such transfer, the term “Landlord” as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Building or the Property.

13.9 FORCE MAJEURE: The obligations of each of the parties under this Lease (other than the obligations to pay money) shall be temporarily excused if such party is prevented or delayed in performing such obligation by reason of any strikes, lockouts or labor disputes; inability to obtain labor, materials, fuels or reasonable substitutes therefor; governmental restrictions, regulations, controls, action or inaction; civil commotion; inclement weather, fire or other acts of God; or other causes (except financial inability) beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform (including acts or omissions of the other party) for a period equal to the period of any such prevention, delay or stoppage.

13.10 NOTICES: except for unlawful detainer notices which Landlord may serve either in accordance with State law or in accordance with this paragraph, any notice required or desired to be given by a party regarding this Lease shall be in writing and shall be personally served, or in lieu of personal service may be given by (i) delivery by Federal Express, United Parcel Service or similar commercial carrier, (ii) electronic fax transmission, or (iii) depositing such notice in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the other party as follows:

A. If addressed to Landlord, to Landlord at its Address for Notices (as set forth in Article 1).

B. If addressed to Tenant, to Tenant at its Address for Notices (as set forth in Article 1). Any notice given by registered mail shall be deemed to have been given on the third business day after its deposit in the United States mail.

Any notice given by registered mail shall be deemed given on the date receipt was acknowledged to the postal authorities.

13.11 ATTORNEYS FEES: In the event any party shall bring any action, arbitration proceeding or legal proceeding alleging a material breach of any provision of this Lease, to recover rent, to terminate this Lease, or to enforce, protect, determine or establish any term or covenant of this Lease or rights or duties hereunder of either party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party as a part of such action or proceeding, or in a separate action for that purpose brought within one year from the determination of such proceeding, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by the prevailing party. In the event that Landlord shall be required to retain counsel to enforce any provision of this Lease, and if Tenant shall thereafter cure (or desire to cure) such default, Landlord shall be conclusively deemed the prevailing party and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses so incurred by Landlord promptly upon demand. Landlord may enforce this provision by either (i) requiring Tenant to pay such fees and costs as a condition to curing its default or (ii) bringing a separate action to enforce such payment, it being agreed by and between Landlord and Tenant that Tenant’s failure to pay such fees and costs upon demand shall constitute a breach of this Lease in the same manner as a failure by Tenant to pay the Base Monthly Rent, giving Landlord the same rights and remedies as if Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent.

13.12 DEFINITIONS: Any term that is given a special meaning by any provision in this Lease shall, unless otherwise specifically stated, have such meaning whenever used in this Lease or in any Addenda or amendment hereto. In addition to the terms defined in Article 1, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

this Lease shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any Real Property Tax described above there shall be levied, or imposed (whether by reason of a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other cause) an alternate, substitute, or additional tax or charge (i) on the value, size, use or occupancy of the Project or Landlord’s interest therein or (ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income or rentals from the Project, or on Landlord’s business of owning, leasing or managing the Project or (iii) computed in any manner with respect to the operation of the Project, then any such tax or charge, however designated, shall be included within the meaning of the terms “Real Property Tax” or “Real Property Taxes” for purposes of this Lease. If any Real Property Tax is partly based upon property or rents unrelated to the Project, then only that part of such Real Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the Project shall be included within the meaning of the terms “Real Property Tax” or “Real Property Taxes.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms “Real Property Tax” or “Real Property Taxes” shall not include estate, inheritance, transfer, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state income tax imposed on Landlord’s income from all sources.

ARTICLE 15

OPTION TO RENEW AND EXPANSION

15.1 Option to Renew: Landlord hereby grants to Tenant Two (2) options to renew the Lease for an additional period of five (5) years each (the Renewal Terms). The Each Renewal Term shall commence upon the expiration of the preceding lease term (or the first Renewal Term as appropriate) such that there shall not be a gap in the time between the Lease Term and the Renewal Terms. Tenant shall only be permitted to exercise the second Renewal Term if it has previously exercised the option for the first Renewal Term. In the event that Tenant subleases the Premises or any portion thereof or assigns its interest under this Lease, Tenant shall lose any rights or options to renew or extend the term of this Lease.

1. The lease of the Leased Premises for the each Renewal Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease, except:

A. That the rental for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term shall be as set forth below in Paragraph 3, and

B. That the Security Deposit shall be increased to the rental amount determined in Paragraph 3 (the “Increased Security Deposit Amount”).

2. Tenant shall notify Landlord of Tenant’s exercise of its right to renew the Lease for the each Renewal Term only by giving to Landlord written notice not sooner than eight (8) months prior to the Renewal Commencement Date and not later than seven (7) months prior to the Renewal Commencement Date (time is expressly of the essence to Landlord). Any attempted exercise of this Option made other than within the time period stated or in the manner stated shall be void and of no force or effect. In the event that Tenant does not or is not entitled to exercise its option Tenant shall have no further rights hereunder.

3. If Tenant shall have properly and timely exercised its right to extend the term of the Lease, the term of the Lease shall be so extended for the Renewal Term on the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease; provided, however, the Base Monthly Rent for each month of the Renewal Term shall be calculated as follows: The new Base Monthly Rent for the Renewal Term shall be the greater of: (i) the Base Monthly Rent being paid by Tenant to Landlord during the final full month of the final year of the initial Lease Term (or the final month of the first Renewal Term as appropriate), or (ii) the Then Market Rental Rate for the Lease Premises.

4. The term “Then Monthly Market Rental Rate” shall be determined by mutual agreement between Landlord and Tenant or, in the event such agreement cannot be made within ten (10) days from the date Tenant shall have exercised this option, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a real estate appraiser with at least five (5) years full-time commercial/industrial appraisal experience in Santa Xxxxx County to appraise and determine the fair market monthly rental rate the Leased Premises, in their then existing condition for the use specified in the Lease could be leased for, on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Lease, to a qualified tenant ready, willing and able to lease the Leased Premises for a term equal to the Renewal Term. If either party does not appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its appraiser, the other party can then apply to the President of the Santa Xxxxx County Real Estate Board or the presiding Judge of the Superior Court of that County for the selection of a second appraiser who meets the qualifications stated above. The failing party shall bear the cost of appointing the second appraiser and of paying the second appraiser’s fee. The two appraisers shall attempt to establish the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises. If the two appraisers are unable to agree on the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises within ten (10) days after the second appraiser has been selected or appointed, then the two appraisers shall attempt to select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated above. If they fail to agree on a third appraiser, either party can follow the above procedure for having an appraiser appointed by the Real Estate Board or a judiciary. Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of appointing the third appraiser and of paying the third appraiser’s fee. Unless the three appraisers are able to agree

on the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises within ten (10) days after the selection or appointment of the third appraiser, the two appraisal amounts being calculated most closely together, after having discarded the appraisal amount which most greatly varies from the other two appraisal amounts, shall be added together then divided by two (2). The resulting rental amount shall be defined as the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises. In no event, however, shall the resulting Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Renewal Term be less than the Base Monthly Rent paid during the final full month of the initial Lease Term (or the first Renewal Term as appropriate).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of the respective dates below set forth with the intent to be legally bound thereby as of the Effective Date of this Lease first above set forth.
