2. Premises

2.1

Leased Premises:

Landlord leases to Tenant the Premises at the address set forth in Section 1.1 and containing the rentable area set forth in Section 1.2. The Premises are located in the “Building”, which together with underlying real property is called the “Building Area” and is located within the master-planned Beltway Business Park, a segregated portion of which is set forth herein as the “Project” as described in Section 1.4. The Project is located within the Cooperative Management Area (“CMA”) formed by an agreement between the U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management and Xxxxx County, Nevada. The CMA is designated for non-residential uses and lies within the Airport 60 and above day-night average decibel level noise contours. The CMA is subject to a perpetual avigation easement for the free and unobstructed passage of aircraft above the Project and shall comply with the rules, regulations and operating directives of McCarran Airport, as more fully set forth in the McCarran International Airport Operating Directives. This Lease is subject and subordinate to a ground lease agreement (the “Master Lease”), by and between Landlord, as tenant, and County of Xxxxx, a political subdivision of the State of Nevada, as landlord (the “Master Landlord”), as more fully described in Section 20.21. Landlord warrants that the Building, Building Area, Project and Complex are currently and shall remain in compliance with such rules, regulations and operating directives as set forth in the Master Lease and that tenant’s use of the Premises for commercial office or light industrial uses are permitted under the Master Lease. The Project, Complex, Building and Premises are further depicted in Exhibits X-0, X-0, X-0 and B respectively. If, upon completion of the space plans for the Premises, Landlord’s architect determines that the size of the Premises differs from that stated in Section 1.2, then the impacted terms of the Lease shall be promptly adjusted by amendment. The parties stipulate and agree that the rentable area of the Premises is as set forth in Section 1.2. Such stipulated area is the measurement provided by the Building’s architect by using the: “BOMA International / SIOR Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Industrial Buildings, Method A, Exterior Wall Methodology.”¹

BOMA / SIOR Standard Method for measuring floor area in Industrial Buildings, Exterior Wall Methodology: (Method “A”): a. Building Rentable Area - Measurement Line follows the exterior surface of all the exterior walls of the building at floor level. No deductions are made for columns or projections necessary to the building; b. Tenant’s Useable Area - Measurement Line follows the exterior surface of all exterior walls of the building at floor level and to the center of all demising walls; c. Common Area - Electrical / Telephone / Fire Riser rooms are measured to the exterior surface of all exterior walls and to the center of all demising walls. This area is converted to a percentage when divided by the Building Rentable Area. This percentage is the Common Area Load factor; d. Tenant’s Rentable Area - The Rentable SF shall include a pro rata share of the Building Common Area by multiplying the Tenant’s Useable Area by the Common Area load factor.

2.2

Delivery and Acceptance of Premises:

Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant, on or before the Commencement Date as set forth in Section 3.1 with the Building Common Areas (defined in Section 6) in good operating condition. In the event it is reasonably determined that the Building Common Areas are not in good operating condition, then it shall be the obligation of the Landlord, after receipt of written notice from Tenant setting forth with specificity the nature of the problem, to promptly rectify such violation at Landlord’s sole cost. Tenant’s failure to give such written notice to Landlord within six (6) months after the Commencement Date shall cause the conclusive presumption that Landlord has complied with Landlord’s obligations hereunder unless said defect cannot be ascertained within six (6) months of the Commencement Date, in which case Tenant shall notify Landlord of such defect within thirty (30) days of detection of the defect.

Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant accepts the Premises in their existing condition as of the Commencement Date, or alternatively, the date that Tenant receives possession for the construction of its improvements. Landlord warrants that the Premises are zoned for commercial office and light industrial use, and that on the date of delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant, the Premises shall be in compliance with applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and governmental requirements relating to its use for commercial office and/or light industrial use, as the case may be. Tenant receives the Premises subject to all applicable zoning, municipal, county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing and regulating Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant is responsible for determining the functionality, design and compatibility of the Premises for its intended use. Landlord reserves the right to control the use of the exterior walls, roof, and areas above and below the Building, and retains the right to install, maintain, use, repair, and replace structural elements and utility equipment, including, but not limited to, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, and appurtenant fixtures in, under, over, and through the Premises, in locations that will not materially interfere with Tenant’s quiet use and enjoyment of the Premises.

2.3

Building Name and Address:

Tenant shall not utilize any name selected by Landlord from time to time for the Building and/or the Project as any part of Tenant’s corporate or trade name. Landlord shall have the right to change the name of the Project or the address of the Building without notice or liability. However, Landlord shall only change the address of the Building if reasonably required by governmental authority. Landlord agrees not to utilize the name or trademark of Tenant, its subsidiaries or affiliates without Tenant’s written approval.

Following the conclusion of each calendar year, but no later than April 1st, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing the actual Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year, and any charge or credit to Tenant necessary to reflect the actual Operating Expenses. If the statement reveals an underpayment, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of the underpayment (whether or not the Lease has expired or been terminated) within thirty (30) days of written notice. If the statement shows an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the next monthly rent payment of Tenant, or, if the term of the Lease has expired, refund the overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days of this determination.

To the extent that Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease and in the event Tenant’s pro rata share of Operating Expenses increases by more than seven (7) percent in any Lease Year, Tenant shall be entitled, not later than sixty (60) days following the receipt of the Operating Expense statement in question and upon ten (10) days notice, to retain an independent certified public accountant or other competent real estate professional applying generally accepted industry practices, who is not contracted or compensated on a contingency fee basis, to audit Landlord’s Operating Expense records for the calendar year in question at Landlord’s business office and during regular business hours. The Operating Expenses of any calendar year shall be subject to audit not more than once with such audit occurring not more than two (2) years after the expiration of such calendar year. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the results of such audit within ten (10) days of its receipt by Tenant. Should the audit determine, to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, that Tenant was over-charged, then, within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s inspection of the audit, Landlord shall credit Tenant the amount of such overcharge toward the payments of Base Rent and Additional Rent next coming due under the Lease. Should the audit determine that Tenant has been undercharged, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such amount as Additional Rent next coming due under the Lease. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of the audit, unless the audit determines that Landlord’s calculation of all Operating Expenses was in error by more than four percent (4%), in which case Landlord shall pay for the audit.

Any Transfer requiring but made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a material default by Tenant under this Lease.

10.5

vi. The Sublease or Consent shall require Subtenant, acting through Tenant, to obtain Landlord’s prior written consent to any alterations to the Premises, to the extent Tenant is required by this Lease to obtain such consent.

vii. The Sublease or Consent shall require: (1) Subtenant to send Landlord copies of any and all notices concerning the Premises that Subtenant is obligated to provide to Tenant; and (2) Tenant to send Landlord copies of any and all notices concerning the Premises that Tenant is obligated to provide to Subtenant.

viii. The Sublease or Consent shall provide that Subtenant shall have no right (and shall waive any rights it may have) to hold Landlord responsible for any liability in connection with the Premises, including, without limitation, any liability arising from the noncompliance with any federal, state, or local laws applicable to the Premises.

ix. The Sublease or Consent shall provide that: (1) Nothing in the Sublease shall amend or shall be construed or deemed to amend this Lease; and (2) Tenant and Subtenant shall not amend the Sublease, without Landlord’s prior written consent.

10.9

No Merger:

No merger shall result from Tenant’s sublease of the Premises under this Section 10, Tenant’s surrender of this Lease or the termination of this Lease in any other manner. In any such event, Landlord may terminate any or all subtenancies or succeed to the interest of Tenant as sublandlord under any or all subtenancies.

11. Insurance and Indemnity

11.1

Tenant’s Insurance:

Beginning on the date Tenant is given access to the Premises for any purpose and continuing until the expiration of the Lease term, including extensions or holdovers thereof, Tenant shall maintain policies of insurance covering loss or damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures, merchandise, equipment and improvements installed by Tenant and not covered by a Tenant Improvement Allowance, and other personal property in or about the Premises, in commercially reasonable amounts relative to the value of the property insured and providing protection against any peril included within the classification “Causes of Loss-Special Form” (or comparable coverage), together with insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism and malicious mischief. As an Operating Expense, Tenant shall be liable for its prorata share of any deductible amount under Landlord’s insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 11.2 (in an amount not to exceed $10,000 per occurrence), provided that if the loss or damage results directly from the act or omission of Tenant, its employees, contractors or agents, then Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment of such deductible.

Beginning on the date Tenant is given access to the Premises for any purpose, and continuing until expiration of the Term (and any Extensions thereto), Tenant shall provide, pay for and maintain in effect during Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, worker’s compensation insurance as required by law and commercial general liability insurance on the Premises and the operations of Tenant in, on or about the Premises, providing personal injury and broad form property damage coverage for not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) combined single limit for bodily injury, death and property damage liability. The deductibles or self-insurance portion under any such insurance policies to be carried by Tenant shall not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000). The commercial general liability insurance policy shall name Landlord, and, upon Landlord’s request, Landlord’s mortgagee, as an additional insured and Tenant shall submit proof of such insurance to Landlord in the form of an industry standard “Additional Insured Endorsement” not less than five (5) business days prior to Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises for business operations and not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any operative endorsement. Tenant shall also procure adequate insurance to cover all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s obligations to indemnify Landlord as set forth in Section 11.5 below. If Tenant carries any of the insurance required hereunder in the form of a blanket policy, any certificate required hereunder shall make specific reference to the Premises, provided, however, the blanket policy carried with respect to the insurance required by Tenant hereunder shall contain a “per location” endorsement assuring that any aggregate limit under such blanket policy shall apply separately to the Premises and that the insurer thereunder shall provide written notice to Landlord if the available portion of such aggregate is reduced to less than the minimum amounts required under this Article by either

payment of claims or the establishment of reserves for claims, (whereupon Tenant shall be obligated to take immediate steps to increase the amount of its insurance coverage in order to satisfy the minimum requirements set forth in Section 11.2). The policy evidencing insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article shall provide coverage on an occurrence basis. The limits of the insurance coverage required by Landlord or the unavailability of certain types of coverage shall not limit or release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease and the existence of such insurance in no way changes Tenant’s obligations to Landlord.

Tenant shall not use, or allow the Premises to be used for any purpose which may be prohibited by the form of fire insurance policy required to be carried under this Lease. Tenant shall pay any increase in premiums for liability and property (including all risk coverage) insurance that may be charged during the Term of this Lease on the amount of such insurance which may be carried by Landlord on the Premises, the Building or the Project resulting from Tenant’s occupancy whether or not Landlord has consented thereto. In such event, Tenant shall also pay any additional premium on the insurance policy that Landlord may carry for its protection against rent loss through fire or casualty. In determining whether increased premiums are the result of Tenant’s use of the Premises, a schedule, issued by the organization setting the insurance rate on the Premises, showing the various components of such rate, shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up the casualty and fire insurance rate on the Premises. Landlord shall deliver invoices for such additional premiums to Tenant at such times as Landlord may elect, and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord therefore.

11.2

Landlord’s Insurance:

At all times during Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, Landlord shall maintain commercial general liability and “all risk” property insurance, subject to standard exclusions, covering the Project, Building, the Tenant Improvements covered by a Tenant Improvement Allowance, and such other risks as Landlord or its mortgagees may from time to time reasonably deem appropriate. Such insurance shall be reasonable in relation to the value of the property and the common practice of landlord’s of comparable properties in the County and utilizing commercially reasonable deductibles. Landlord shall have the right to obtain terrorism, flood and earthquake insurance and other forms of insurance required by any lender holding a security interest in the Building or any ground lessor. Landlord shall not be required to carry insurance of any kind on (i) leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant, (ii) Tenant’s trade fixtures, furnishings, and equipment, (iii) Tenant’s signs, whether attached to the Premises or Building, (iv) and any other items of Tenant’s personal property, hereafter “Tenant’s Property”, and shall not be obligated to repair or replace Tenant’s Property should damage occur, except to the extent caused by the negligent acts of Landlord or its agents. All proceeds of insurance maintained by Landlord upon the Premises (including the Tenant Improvements) and Project shall be the property of Landlord.

11.3

Waiver of Subrogation:

Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any rights each may have against the other on account of any loss or damage occasioned to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, or to the Premises or its contents, and which may arise out of or incident to the perils insured against under Sections 11.1 and 11.2, which perils occur in or about the Premises, whether due to the negligence of Landlord or Tenant or their agents, contractors and/or invitees to the extent of such insurance (including deductibles). The parties shall obtain from their respective insurance companies insuring the property a waiver of any right of subrogation which said insurance companies may have against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be.

11.4

Policies:

All insurance to be maintained by Tenant and Landlord under this Lease shall be procured from an insurance company or companies rated at least “A-/VII” or better in “Best’s Insurance Guide” and admitted in the State of Nevada, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, prior to taking occupancy of the Premises, Certificates of Insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder. The certificates evidencing such insurance shall provide that the insurance shall not be canceled except after thirty (30) days prior written notice of intention to modify or cancel has been given to Landlord and any encumbrancer named as beneficiary thereunder. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence of renewal at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of any policy to be maintained by Tenant hereunder. If Tenant fails to deliver evidence of insurance required hereunder within the prescribed period or if such policy is canceled during the operative term of the Lease without Landlord’s consent, Landlord may (but is not required to) obtain such insurance and the costs thereof shall be reimbursed by Tenant within fifteen (15) days of receipt of invoice, together with a $1,000.00 handling charge.

11.5

Tenant’s Indemnity:

Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its agents, affiliates, partners, or other entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with Landlord, from and against any third party claims or liabilities arising either before or after the Commencement Date from; (i) Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Project, including those arising from accident, injury, or damage, however and by whomsoever caused (except to the extent of any claim arising out of Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct), (ii) the conduct of Tenant’s business or anything else permitted by Tenant, (iii) a breach or default in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, or (iv) from any negligent act or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees. In case Landlord, its agents or affiliates are made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then Tenant shall protect and hold Landlord harmless and shall pay all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees assessed against Landlord in connection with settlement of the litigation or any judgment issued thereon.

11.6

Landlord’s Indemnity:

Landlord shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Tenant, its agents, affiliates, partners, or other entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant, from and against any and all third party claims or liabilities arising either before or after the Commencement Date from (i) a breach or default in the performance of Landlord’s obligations under the Lease; or (ii) the negligent acts or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or affiliates. In case Tenant, its agents or affiliates are made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Landlord, then Landlord shall protect and hold Tenant harmless and shall pay all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees assessed against Tenant in connection with settlement of the litigation or any judgment issued thereon.

12. Damage or Destruction

12.1

Restoration:

a. Damage Repair

If the Building is damaged, through no fault of Tenant, or its employees, suppliers, customers or invitees, Landlord shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible, unless: (i) Landlord reasonably determines that the cost of repair would exceed ten percent (10%) of the full replacement cost of the Building

(“Replacement Cost”) and the damage is not covered by Landlord’s property insurance or (ii) Landlord reasonably determines that the cost of repair would exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Replacement Cost; or (iii) Landlord reasonably determines that the cost of repair would exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Replacement Cost and the damage occurs during the final twelve (12) months of the term.

Should Landlord elect not to repair the damage for one of the preceding reasons, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing within sixty (60) days after the damage occurs and this Lease shall terminate ninety (90) days after the date of that notice (or such earlier date as Tenant may elect) and the obligations of the parties shall terminate as if the Lease term had naturally expired.

b. Rent Abatement

Commencing on the date that damage renders the Premises unusable for Tenant’s business operations, and ending on the date the damage is repaired or this Lease is terminated, whichever occurs first, the rental to be paid under this Lease shall be abated in the same proportion that the floor area of the Premises that is rendered unusable by the damage bears to the total floor area of the Premises.

c. Cost of Repair

Notwithstanding the provisions of the above subsections of this Section, if the damage is due to the negligent or willful misconduct of Tenant or its employees, subtenants, invitees or representatives, the cost of any repairs not covered by Landlord’s insurance on the Building shall be borne by the Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to rental abatement or termination rights. In addition, the provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to require Landlord to repair any improvements or fixtures installed by Tenant or that Tenant is obligated to repair or insure pursuant to any other provision of this Lease.

13. Eminent Domain

13.1

Total or Partial Taking:

If all or a material portion of the Premises is taken by any lawful authority by exercise of the right of eminent domain, or sold to prevent a taking, either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. In the event title to a portion of the Building or Project, other than the Premises, is taken or sold in lieu of taking, and if Landlord elects to restore the Building in such a way as to materially alter the Premises or Tenant’s reasonable use thereof, Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease, by written notice to the other, effective on the date of vesting of title. In the event neither party has elected to terminate this Lease as provided above, then Landlord shall promptly, after receipt of a sufficient condemnation award, proceed to restore the Premises to substantially their condition prior to the taking, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant for the rent corresponding to the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of which, Tenant is deprived on account of the taking and restoration. In the event of a taking, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the condemnation award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant; provided that nothing in this Section shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in, or prevent Tenant from seeking any award against the taking authority for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant or for relocation or business interruption expenses recoverable from the taking authority, so long as Landlord’s award is not diminished thereby.

13.2

Temporary Taking:

No temporary taking of the Premises shall terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to abatement of rent, and any award specifically attributable to a temporary taking of the Premises shall belong entirely to Landlord. A temporary taking shall be deemed to be a taking of the use or occupancy of the Premises for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) days.

13.3

Taking of Parking Area:

In the event there shall be a taking of Tenant’s Parking Area such that Tenant’s allocation falls below that set forth in Section 1.9, Landlord shall substitute reasonably equivalent parking in a location adjacent to the Parking Area or Building; provided that if Landlord fails to make that substitution within fifteen (15) days following the taking and if the taking materially impairs Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises, Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord. If this Lease is not so terminated by Tenant, there shall be no abatement of rent and this Lease shall continue in effect.

14. Subordination; Estoppel Certificate

14.1

Subordination:

a. Subordinate to Underlying Encumbrances

At the option of Landlord, this Lease shall be either superior or subordinate to all ground or underlying Leases, mortgages, deeds of trust and conditions, covenants and restrictions, reciprocal easements and rights of way, if any, which may hereafter affect the Premises or Project, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, that so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, this Lease shall not be terminated nor shall Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Premises be disturbed. Tenant shall also, upon written request of Landlord, execute and deliver all instruments as may be required from time to time to subordinate the rights of Tenant under this Lease to any ground or underlying Lease or to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust (using a document materially similar as to form and substance as Exhibit L, attached hereto), provided the holder of such lease, mortgage or deed of trust agrees not to disturb Tenant’s quiet enjoyment, so long as Tenant is not in default of this Lease, or if requested by Landlord, to subordinate, in whole or in part, any ground or underlying Lease or the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust to this Lease. Should Tenant wrongfully fail to reasonably provide the instruments set forth in this subsection 14.1(a), Tenant appoints Landlord as its special attorney-in-fact to execute such instruments.

b. Attornment

Tenant covenants and agrees to attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in any ground or underlying lease, and in the event, this Lease shall continue as a direct lease between Tenant herein and such landlord or its successor.

c. Failure to Perform

Failure of Tenant to execute any statements or instruments prepared by Landlord materially true in form and fact as to the provisions of the Lease and necessary or desirable to effectuate the provisions of this Section within fifteen (15) days after written request by Landlord shall constitute a default under this Lease. In that event, Landlord’ shall have the right, by written notice to Tenant, to terminate this Lease as of a date not less than fifteen (15) days after the date of Landlord’s notice provided Tenant has not

cured said default within the fifteen (15) day additional notice period. Landlord’s election to terminate shall not release Tenant of any liability for its default.

14.2

Estoppel Certificate:

a. Time Limits

Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after prior written notice from Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord, a statement, in writing, to the extent accurate; (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of the modification and certifying that this Lease is otherwise unmodified and in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental, additional rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that, to Tenant’s knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord, or specifying each default if any are claimed, and (iii) setting forth such other information that Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant’s statement may be relied upon by a prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building or Project.

b. Failure to Perform

Tenant’s failure to deliver any Landlord estoppel statement within the provided time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that: (i) this Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, and (ii) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance.

15. Defaults and Remedies

15.1

Tenant’s Default:

In addition to any other event of default set forth in this Lease, the occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default by Tenant:

However, if the nature of the failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences the cure within thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion.

f. Assignment to Creditors/Bankruptcy

The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; the filing by Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or to have debts discharged or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy; the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, if possession is not restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days; the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interests in this Lease where the seizure is not discharged within sixty (60) days; or Tenant’s convening of a meeting of its creditors for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or consolidation of its debts.

15.2

Landlord’s Remedies:

a. Landlord Declares Breach:

Should Landlord declare a breach of this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, give Tenant notice of the intention to terminate this Lease and, after such cure period as may be applicable, the operative term shall expire as if it were the day herein established for the expiration of the Lease and Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. If Tenant fails to quit and surrender the Premises, Landlord may exercise its legal rights to evict the Tenant and all other occupants of the Premises by unlawful detainer or other summary proceedings, and remove their effects and regain possession of the Premises.

b. Breach by Tenant:

Notwithstanding Tenant’s breach, this Lease shall not terminate unless Landlord elects, at any time during the period of breach, to terminate Tenant’s right to possession. For so long as this Lease continues in effect, Landlord may enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies hereunder, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due. The following shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession (i) reasonable acts of maintenance or repair to the Premises, Building or Project, (ii) commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises, or (iii) the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease.

Landlord shall not be required to relet the Premises in advance of or for more favorable terms than available space within the Building or Project. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any excess of net rent collected over the sums due hereunder. Any damage or loss of rent sustained by Landlord may be recovered by Landlord, at Landlord’s option, at the time of the first reletting, in separate actions thereafter, or deferred until the expiration of the term of this Lease. All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease shall be cumulative and shall not be exclusive of any other rights and remedies provided to Landlord under applicable law.

ii. To remove any and all persons and property from the Premises pursuant to such rights and remedies as the laws of the State of Nevada shall then provide. Said property may, at Landlord’s option, be stored or otherwise dealt with as such laws may then provide or permit, including but not limited to the right of Landlord to store the same, or any part thereof, in a warehouse or elsewhere at the expense and risk of and for the account of Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for damage to or the loss of such property.

iii. To enforce any other rights or remedies set forth in this Lease or otherwise applicable hereto by operation of law or contract.

d. Right of Injunction:

Upon Tenant’s breach of the Lease, Landlord shall have the right of injunction, which right shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy, at law or in equity.

e. Tenant Abandons Premises:

Upon Tenant’s abandonment of the Premises, any property of Tenant left behind may either be retained as Landlord’s property or disposed of at public or private sale in accordance with applicable law. The proceeds of any sale of Tenant’s property, or the then current fair market value of any property retained by Landlord shall be applied by Landlord against (i) the expenses of Landlord for removal, storage or sale of the property; (ii) the arrears of rent or future rent payable under this Lease; and (iii) any other damages to which Landlord may be entitled hereunder. Landlord may, upon presentation of a third party ownership claim or security interest in abandoned property, turn over such property to the claimant with no liability to Landlord.

f. Bankruptcy of Tenant:

The following shall be Events of Bankruptcy under this Lease: (i) Tenant’s becoming insolvent, as that term is defined in Title 11 of the United States Code, entitled Bankruptcy, 11 U.S.C. Sec 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), or under the insolvency

laws of any State, District, Commonwealth or territory of the United States (“Insolvency Laws”); (ii) the appointment of a receiver or custodian for any or all of Tenant’s property or assets, or the institution of a foreclosure action upon any of Tenant’s real or personal property which is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; (iii) the filing of a voluntary petition under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws which is either not dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing, or results in issuance of an order for relief against the debtor, whichever is later; (iv) the filing of an involuntary petition against Tenant as the subject debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or Insolvency Laws, which is either not dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing, or results in the issuance of an order for relief against the debtor, whichever is later; or (v) Tenant’s making or consenting to an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a common law composition of creditors.

Upon occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant, provided, however, that this section shall have no effect while a case in which Tenant is the subject debtor under the Bankruptcy Code is pending, unless Tenant or its Trustee is unable to comply with the provisions below. At all other times this Lease shall automatically cease and terminate, and Tenant shall be immediately obligated to quit the Premises upon the giving of notice pursuant to this section. Any other notice to quit, or notice of Landlord’s intention to re-enter is hereby expressly waived.

If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, everything contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord to be done and performed shall cease without prejudice, subject, however, to the rights of Landlord to recover from Tenant all rent and any other sums accrued up to the time of termination or recovery of possession by Landlord, whichever is later, and any other monetary damages or loss of reserved rent sustained by Landlord.

Without regard to any action by Landlord as authorized above, Landlord may at its discretion exercise all the additional provisions set forth below.

In the event Tenant becomes the subject debtor in a case pending under the Bankruptcy Code, Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this section shall be subject to the rights of the Trustee in Bankruptcy to assume or assign this Lease. The Trustee shall not have the right to assume or assign this Lease unless the Trustee (i) promptly cures all defaults under this Lease, (ii) properly compensates Landlord for monetary damages incurred as a result of such default, and (iii) provides adequate assurance of future performance on the part of Tenant as debtor in possession or on the part of the assignee Tenant.

g. Adequate Performance:

Landlord and Tenant hereby agree in advance that adequate assurance of future performance, as used in the preceding subsection, shall mean that all of the following minimum criteria must be met; (i) Tenant must pay its estimated pro rata share of Operating Expenses in advance of the performance such services, (ii) the Trustee must agree that Tenant’s business shall be conducted in a first class manner, and that no liquidating sales, auctions, or other non-first class business operations shall be conducted in the Premises; (iii) the Trustee must agree that the use of the Premises as stated in this Lease will remain unchanged and that no prohibited use shall be permitted; and (iv) the Trustee must agree that the assumption of this Lease will not violate or affect the right of other tenants in the Project.

In the event Tenant is unable to (i) cure its defaults, (ii) reimburse Landlord for its monetary damages, (iii) pay the rent due under this Lease, and all other payments required by Tenant under this Lease on time, or (iv) meet the criteria and obligations imposed above, Tenant agrees in advance that it has not met its burden to provide

adequate assurance of future performance and this Lease may be terminated by Landlord.

15.3

Expenses and Legal Fees:

If Tenant or Landlord shall be in breach or default under this Lease, such party (the “Defaulting Party”) shall reimburse the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) upon demand for any costs or expenses that the Non-defaulting Party incurs in connection with any breach or default of the Defaulting Party under this Lease, whether or not suit is commenced or judgment entered. Such costs shall include legal fees and costs incurred for the negotiation of a settlement, enforcement of rights or otherwise.

15.4

Default by Landlord:

Landlord shall be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease if Landlord has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord’s failure to perform; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, Landlord shall not be deemed in default if it shall commence such performance within thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. Tenant shall have no rights as a result of any default by Landlord until Tenant gives thirty (30) days notice to any person who has a recorded interest pertaining to the Building, specifying the nature of the default. Such person shall then have the right to cure such default, and Landlord shall not be deemed in default if such person cures such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the default, or within such longer period of time as may reasonably be necessary to cure the default. Tenant shall have no right to any deduction or offset of any kind nor any right to terminate this Lease based upon an uncured default by Landlord in the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant may seek to recover from Landlord an amount representing appropriate actual, compensatory damages for breach of contract based on any such uncured default by Landlord, but not otherwise. Consistent with Section 18 below, in no event shall either party be permitted to recover consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages from Landlord based on any such uncured default of Landlord, or otherwise.

16. End of Term

16.1

Holding Over:

This Lease shall terminate without further notice upon the Expiration Date and any holding over by Tenant after such date shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease or give Tenant any rights under this Lease, except when signed in writing, by both parties. Upon Tenant’s holding over, Landlord may treat Tenant as a tenant at sufferance only, commencing on the first (1st) day following the termination or expiration of this Lease and subject to all of the terms of this Lease, except that the monthly Base Rent during the hold over period shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the last monthly rent installment paid prior to such hold over period.

If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease despite demand to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss or liability, including, without limitation, any reasonable claims made by any succeeding tenant relating to such failure to surrender. Acceptance by Landlord of rent after the termination shall not constitute consent to a holdover or result in a renewal of this Lease.

16.2

Merger on Termination:

The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or mutual termination of this Lease, shall terminate any or all existing subleases unless Landlord, at its option, elects in writing to treat the surrender or termination as an assignment to it of any or all subleases affecting the Premises.

16.3

Surrender of Premises and Removal of Property:

Upon the Expiration Date or upon an earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises in the same condition as received or as hereafter may be improved by Landlord or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall remove all personal property and debris. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Premises resulting from the removal, which repair shall include the patching and filling of holes and repair of structural damage, leaving the Premises in a broom clean condition. If Tenant shall fail to comply with the provisions of this Section, Landlord may effect the removal and/or make any repairs, and the reasonable cost shall be additional rent payable by Tenant upon demand. If requested by Landlord, upon Tenant’s vacation, abandonment or the expiration of this Lease, Tenant shall execute an instrument in writing releasing and quitclaiming to Landlord, all right, title and interest of Tenant in the Premises.

16.4

Termination; Advance Payments:

Upon termination of this Lease under Section 12 (Damage or Destruction), Section 13 (Eminent Domain) or any other termination not resulting from Tenant’s default, and after Tenant has vacated the Premises in the manner required by this Lease, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning advance rent, and any other advance payments made by Tenant or Landlord.

17. Payments and Notices

All sums payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be paid, without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at its address set forth in Section 1.18.

In the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default of this Lease by Landlord, except with respect to indemnity obligations and to the extent of any insurance policies required hereunder, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be against the Project, its rents, and other assets, it being intended that Landlord shall not be personally liable for any judgment or deficiency.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, nothing in this Lease shall impose any obligations on Tenant or Landlord to be responsible or liable for, and each hereby releases the other from all liability for, consequential damages other than those direct consequential damages incurred by Landlord in connection with a (a) holdover of the Premises by Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, (b) the contamination of the Premises or Building Common Areas resulting from the presence or use of Hazardous Materials caused or permitted by Tenant

No holder of a mortgage and/or deed of trust to which this Lease is, or may be, subordinate, and no landlord under a “sale-leaseback” shall be responsible in connection with the security deposit, unless the mortgagee or holder of the deed of trust or the landlord actually receives the security deposit. It is intended that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of the Landlord shall be binding on the Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during, and in respect to, their respective periods of ownership.

20.3

Joint and Several Liability:

If there is more than one Tenant, the obligations imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several, and the act of, notice from, or notice or refund to any one or more of them shall be binding on all of them with respect to the tenancy of this Lease, including without limitation, any renewal, extension, termination, or modification of this Lease.

20.4

Subject to Sections 10 and 19, all rights and liabilities given to or imposed upon Landlord and Tenant shall extend to and bind their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

20.5

Severability:

If any term or provision of this Lease, the deletion of which would not adversely affect the receipt of any material benefit by either party or the deletion of which is consented to by the party adversely affected, shall be held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

20.6

Waiver of Trial by Jury:

The respective parties hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, or any claim of injury or damage, or the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise.

20.7

Recording:

Tenant shall not record or file this Lease or any form of Memorandum of Lease, or any assignment or security document pertaining to this Lease or all or any part of Tenant’s interest therein without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be subject to such conditions as Landlord shall reasonably deem appropriate. If such consent is granted Tenant will pay all recording fees, costs, taxes and other expenses for the recording.

Said memorandum or short form of this Lease shall describe the parties, the Premises and the Lease Term and shall incorporate this Lease by reference.

20.8

Waiver:

No waiver of any default or breach of any covenant by either party hereunder shall be implied from any omission by either party to take action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated. Landlord’s acceptance of any payment which is less than that required to be paid by Tenant shall be deemed to have been received only on account of the obligation for which it is paid and shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary asserted by Tenant, written on any check or contained in any transmittal letter. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term or covenant hereof, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. An express waiver must be in writing and signed by a person with the power to contractually bind Tenant or Landlord. An express waiver shall affect only the default specified in the waiver, and only for the time and to the extent expressly stated. Waivers by either party of any covenant, term, or condition contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term, or condition.

20.9

Late Charges:

If any installment of rent or any sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within three (3) days of when such sum is due then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equivalent to five percent (5%) of the amount past due, but in no event more than the legal maximum on such past due amount, plus any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay rent and/or other charges when due hereunder. Any late charges shall be added to the next installment of Base Rent due under the Lease. The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant.

20.10

Choice of Law:

This Lease shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the statutes, decisions, and other laws of the State of Nevada. Tenant hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of any State court of competent jurisdiction located in Xxxxx County,

Nevada or Federal court located in Las Vegas, Nevada and the service of process by any means authorized by any such State or Federal court.

20.11

This Lease is entirely separate and distinct from and independent of any and all agreements that Tenant may at any time enter into with any third party for the provision of services, which include, but are not limited to, telecommunications, office automation, repair, maintenance services, computer and photocopying (“Independent Services”). Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has no obligation of any type concerning the provision of Independent Services, and agrees that any cessation or interruption of Independent Services or any other act or neglect by the third party providing the Independent Services shall not constitute a default or constructive eviction by Landlord. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for incidental, consequential, indirect or special damages (including lost profits), which may arise in any way out of a claim concerning Independent Services.

20.12

Force Majeure:

Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to comply or delay in complying with its obligations hereunder if such failure or delay is due to acts of God, inability to obtain labor, strikes, lockouts, lack of materials, governmental restrictions, enemy actions, civil commotion, fire, unavoidable casualty or other similar causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (all of which events are herein referred to as force majeure events). It is expressly agreed that Landlord shall not be obliged to settle any strike to avoid a force majeure event from continuing.

20.13

Reimbursement of Expenses:

The party which has committed a breach or default of this Lease shall reimburse the other party, upon demand, for any reasonable expenses incurred by the non-defaulting party in connection with such breach or default. Such expenses shall include reasonable legal fees and costs incurred for the negotiation of a settlement, enforcement of rights or otherwise.

20.14

THIS LEASE CONTAINS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND ANY AND ALL ORAL AND WRITTEN AGREEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, PROMISES AND STATEMENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, PARTNERS, AGENTS AND BROKERS WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LEASE AND ANY MATTER COVERED OR MENTIONED IN THIS LEASE SHALL BE MERGED IN THIS LEASE AND NO SUCH PRIOR ORAL OR WRITTEN AGREEMENT, UNDERSTANDING, REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, PROMISE OR STATEMENT SHALL BE EFFECTIVE OR BINDING FOR ANY REASON OR PURPOSE UNLESS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE. NO PROVISION OF THIS LEASE MAY BE AMENDED OR ADDED TO EXCEPT BY AN AGREEMENT IN WRITING SIGNED BY THE PARTIES HERETO OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST. THIS LEASE SHALL NOT BE EFFECTIVE OR BINDING ON ANY PARTY UNTIL FULLY EXECUTED BY BOTH PARTIES HERETO.

20.15

Attorneys’ Fees:

If either Landlord or Tenant commences or engages in, or threatens to commence or engage in, any action or litigation against the other party arising out of or in connection with the Lease, the Premises, the Building, or the Project, including but not limited to, any action for recovery of any payment owed by either party under the Lease, or to recover possession of the

Premises, or for damages for breach of the Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover from the losing party reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with the action and in preparation for said action. This provision shall survive the termination of the Lease.

20.16

Consent/Duty to Act Reasonably:

Regardless of any references to the terms “sole” or “absolute” (but except for matters which (i) could have an adverse effect on the structural integrity of the Building Structure, (ii) could have an adverse effect on the Building Systems, or (iii) could have an effect on the exterior appearance of the Building, whereupon in each such case Landlord’s duty is to act in good faith and in compliance with the Lease), any time the consent of Landlord or Tenant is required, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Whenever this Lease grants Landlord or Tenant the right to take action, exercise discretion, establish rules and regulations or make allocations or other determinations (other than decisions to exercise expansion, contraction, cancellation, termination or renewal options), Landlord and Tenant shall act reasonably and in good faith and take no action which might result in the frustration of the reasonable expectations of a sophisticated tenant or landlord concerning the benefits to be enjoyed under this Lease.

20.17

Interest Rate:

Any time either Landlord or Tenant is required to pay interest to the other, the following shall be the interest rate: the lesser of (i) the rate publicly announced from time to time, by the largest (as measured by deposits) state chartered bank operating in Nevada, as its Prime Rate or its Reference Rate or other similar benchmark, plus five percent (5%), or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law.

20.18

No Partnership:

20.19

The Exhibits, if any, and any schedules or riders attached to this Lease are incorporated herein by this reference and made a part hereof, and any reference in the body of the Lease or in the Exhibits, schedules, or riders to the Lease shall mean the Lease together with all Exhibits, schedules and riders.

20.20

Mortgagee Protection:

Tenant agrees to send by certified or registered mail to any first mortgagee or first deed of trust beneficiary of Landlord whose address has been furnished to Tenant, a copy of any notice of default served by Tenant on Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, such mortgagee or beneficiary shall have thirty (30) days, from the date of receipt of such notice, to cure such default; provided that if such default cannot reasonably be cured within that thirty (30) day period, then such mortgagee or beneficiary shall have such additional time to cure the default as is reasonably necessary under the circumstances.
