RECITALS Xxx Xxxx Corporation (know as the “Tenant” under the Master Lease (as defined below) and “Sublessor” under this Sublease) entered into that certain Lease Agreement, dated April 19, 1999, (“Original Lease”) with Henderson Property Limited Partnership, a Nevada limited partnership, Gurnee Venture, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership and Xxxxxx, X.X., an Illinois limited partnership, as tenants in common, (jointly and severally referred to as the “Original Landlord”) for the real property shown on Exhibit “A” of the Original Lease (“Property”), together with the building (approximately 40,794 square feet) depicted on Exhibit B of the Original Lease (“Building ”) and other improvement thereon, all located at 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx, 00000 (collectively referred to as the “Master Lease Premises”). The Master Lease Premises was acquired by 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx LLC; a Nevada limited liability company (“1150 LLC”) on October 7, 2004. In connection with the sale of the Building, the Original Lease was assigned to 1150 LLC who has assumed all the rights and obligation of the Original Landlord and shall be referred to as the “Master Lessor”. The Master Lessor and Sublessor entered into that certain First Amendment to the Lease Agreement, effective March 15, 2006, (“First Amendment”). The Original Lease and the First Amendment shall be collectively referred to as the “Master Lease”. A true, correct and complete copy of the Master Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereof. Sublessee desires to sublet a portion of the Master Lease Premises as described below as the “Sublease Premises” and Sublessor is willing to sublet the Sublease Premises to Sublessee. The Sublease Premises are described in Exhibit A attached hereto. AGREEMENT NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions of this Sublease, the parties agree as follows:
1. | Sublease of Sublease Premises. Sublessor hereby subleases Suite 240, totaling approximately 4,687 rentable square feet on the second floor (the “Sublease Premises”) of the Master Lease Premises to Sublessee, and Sublessee hereby takes and subleases the Sublease Premises from Sublessor. Sublessee acknowledges that it has inspected the Sublease Premises and accepts it “AS-IS”. |
a. | Subordinate to the prior rights of other existing sublessees in the Building, and subject to the approval by the Master Lessor, if required under the Master Lease, when Suite 220 on the second floor of the Building becomes available (“Expansion Space”), Sublessor shall provide Sublessee with written notice (“Expansion Space Notice”) of the availability of the Expansion Space. The Expansion Space Notice shall provide (i) the rentable and useable feet of the Expansion Space, (ii) Sublessor’s required rent for the Expansion Space, (iv) the security deposit required for the Expansion Space, if any, and (v) the date Sublessee can occupy the Expansion Space (“Available Occupancy Date”). | ||
b. | Sublessee shall have until 5:00 pm Pacific time on the date that is five business (5) days after Sublessee’s receipt of the Expansion Space Notice (“Expansion Space Acceptance Period”) to accept the Expansion Space upon the same terms and conditions of this Sublease except as modified by the Expansion Space Notice. In the event the Sublessee provides Sublessor with Sublessee’s written acceptance of the Expansion Space prior to |
3
the expiration of the Expansion Space Acceptance Period, the Expansion Space shall become part of the Sublease Premises on the Available Occupancy Date, in which case the Base Rent shall be increased by the amount in the Expansion Space Notice and the Security Deposit shall be increased by the amount of the Expansion Space Notice, if any. Sublessee’s failure to provide acceptance prior to the expiration of the Expansion Space Acceptance Period shall constitute a rejection of the Expansion Space and Sublessee shall have no further rights in the Expansion Space. |
2. | Term of Sublease. The term of this Sublease shall commence on December 3, 2010, (“Commencement Date”) and terminate on April 30, 2014 (“Initial Term”) unless terminated earlier in accordance with this Sublease. |
a. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublessee shall be permitted access to the Sublease Premises prior to the Commencement Date effective on the date this Sublease is executed by both Sublessor and Sublessee (“Early Occupancy Fixturization Period”) for the sole purpose of the installation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment; provided, however, during the Early Occupancy Fixturization Period, Sublessee shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Sublease except for the obligation to pay Base Rent which shall begin on the Commencement Date. | ||
b. | Prior to entry upon the Sublease Premises, Sublessee shall provide Sublessor with proof of insurance required by this Sublease which shall be effective during the Early Occupancy Fixturization Period as well as the term of the Sublease. |
3. | Security Deposit. Sublessee shall deposit upon the mutual execution of this Sublease (i) one month Base Rent in advance equal to Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Three and 00/100 Dollars ($6,663.00), which shall be applied to the third month of the Initial Term, and (ii) a security deposit (‘Security Deposit”) equal to Nine Thousand Six Hundred Eight and 35/100 Dollars ($9,608.35). If Sublessee fails to pay rent or other charges due hereunder or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of the Sublease, Sublessor may use, apply, or retain all or any portion of said Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge, or to compensate Sublessor for any loss or damage which Sublessor may suffer thereby. If Sublessor uses or applies all or any portion of said Security Deposit, Sublessee shall within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand deposit to the full amount stated above. Sublessee’s failure to do so shall constitute a material breach of this Sublease. At the expiration of this Sublease and upon proper vacation of the premises by Sublessee, any unused portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Sublessee within ten (10) business days, providing the Sublessee has performed all of its obligations hereunder and provided an address for deposit return. Sublessee shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. | ||
4. | Base Rent. | ||
Sublessee covenants and agrees to pay Sublessor as full service monthly rent, including utilities, taxes and insurance (collectively, “Base Rent”), for the Sublease Premises during the term of this Sublease as follows: |

(e) Commencing on June 1, 2013, through April 30, 2014, the Base Rent shall be Nine Thousand Eight Hundred Eighty-Three and 31/100 Dollars ($9,983.31) per month. The aggregate amount of Base Rent abated in subsections (a) through (c) above is referred to as the “Abated Rent”. Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained above, in the event Sublessee commits a monetary default under the Sublease and fails to cure the same with the applicable cure period, Sublessor and Sublessee agree that Sublessee shall be obligated to pay to Sublessor the unamortized amount of the Abated Rent corresponding to the amount of time remaining in the Initial Term subsequent to the uncured monetary default (the “Abatement Payment”). The Abatement Payment shall be calculated by (i) amortizing the entire Abated Rent over forty-one (41) months, (ii) determining the number days remaining in the Initial Term from the date of Sublessee’s uncured monetary default until the Termination Date, and (iii) multiplying the number of days remaining in the Initial Term by the daily rate of the amortized Abatement Amount. The Abatement Payment shall be due ten (10) business days after the date of Sublessee’s uncured monetary default. Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Master Lease regarding payments for taxes and assessments shall not be applicable to the Sublessee, it being understood that this Sublease is intended to be a full service gross sublease. The amount of each such monthly payment shall be payable in advance with all payments due upon the first day of each calendar month during the term of this Sublease. All Base Rent due hereunder shall be prorated for any fractional calendar months at the beginning and end of the term of this Sublease. All Base Rent shall be paid without notice, demand, offset or deduction (except as expressly set forth in this Sublease), in lawful money of the United States of America at the address of Sublessor as set forth hereinafter or at such other place as Sublessor may from time to time designate in writing.

not limited to, attorney’s fees and court cost. In the event a check given by the Sublessee to the Sublessor is returned for insufficient funds or otherwise dishonored by its bank, a charge of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) plus the late charge amount, if applicable, shall be added to the original amount due. The total of the new amount, including the original charges, shall be immediately due and payable.
5. | Additional Services and Charges. In addition to the Base Rent, Sublessee agrees to pay Sublessor, on an as used basis, for business services that Sublessor may furnish Sublessee. The business services may include, but not limited to, additional telephone service, mail and courier service.

Such business services will be provided in accordance with established/posted rate sheet and such charges will billed every thirty (30) days and due within thirty (30) days of receipt. Sublessee is responsible for the payment of all reasonable telephone and data installation charges and any additional reasonable charges associated with same. |
a. | As of January 1, 2012, Sublessee shall be responsible for paying its proportionate share of increases in Building Operating Expenses (as defined below) directly attributable to the operation and maintenance of the building above a 2011 base year. For the purposes of this Sublease, “Building Operating Expenses” shall mean property taxes, utilities, common area maintenance and repair costs, operating costs, and commercially reasonable management fees, but shall specifically exclude (1) costs of items considered capital repairs, replacements, improvements and equipment under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the roof of the Building and any HVAC units; (2) costs incurred by Sublessor for the repair of damage to the Building, to the extent that Sublessor is or should be reimbursed by insurance proceeds, and costs of all capital repairs, regardless of whether such repairs are covered by insurance; (3) depreciation, amortization, and interest payments, except as provided herein and except on materials, tools, supplies, and vendor-type equipment purchased by Sublessor to enable Sublessor to supply services that Sublessor might otherwise contract with a third-party when such depreciation, amortization, and interest payments would otherwise have been included in the charge for such third-party services, all as determined in the accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and when depreciation or amortization is permitted or required, the items shall be amortized for its reasonably anticipated useful life; (4) marketing costs, including, without limitation, leasing commissions, attorneys’ fees in connection with the negotiation and preparation of letters, deal memos, letters of intent, leases, subleases and/or assignments, space planning costs and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with lease, sublease and/or assignment negotiations and transactions with present or prospective tenants or other occupants of the Building; (5) expenses for services or other benefits that are not offered to Sublessee for which Sublessee is charged directly but that are provided to another tenant or occupant of the Building; (6) cost incurred by Sublessor due to the violation by Sublessor or any tenant of the terms and conditions of any lease of space in the Building; (7) overhead and profit increment paid to Sublessor or to subsidiary or affiliates of Sublessor for goods and/or services in or to the Building to the extent that same exceeds the costs of such goods and/or services rendered by an affiliated third party on a competitive basis; (8) Sublessor’s general corporate overhead and general and administrative expenses; (9) costs incurred in connection with upgrading any portion of the Building other than the Subleased Premises to comply with life, fire and safety codes, ordinances, statutes or other laws, including, without limitation, the ADA, including penalties or damages incurred because of such non-compliance; (10) tax penalties incurred as a result of Sublessor’s failure to make payments and/or to file any tax or informational returns when due; and (11) in-house legal and/or accounting fees. |

b. | Beginning thirty (30) days prior to the end of the first calendar year of the Initial Term and each calendar year thereafter, Sublessor shall provide to Sublessee a statement that estimates the Building Operating Expenses that are expected to be allocated to the Sublease Premises on a rentable square foot basis per month for the following year (such proportionate expenses and costs shall be referred to as the “Sublease Premises Costs”). Based upon the estimate and commencing on January 1 and each month thereafter, Sublessee agrees to pay Sublessor the increase in the Sublease Premises Costs per rentable square foot for the Sublease Premises for that calendar year over the Base Year Sublease Premises Costs. The term “Base Year Sublease Premises Costs” shall mean the Sublease Premises Costs per rentable square foot per month for the Sublease Premises for the calendar year 2011. For illustrative purposes only, if the Base Year Sublease Premises Costs are $1.25 per rentable square foot, the Sublease Premises are 1000 rentable square feet, and the estimated Sublease Premises Costs for 2012 are $1.30 per rentable square foot, the Sublessee shall be obligated to pay to Sublessor with Base Rent an additional amount of $50 (1.30-1.25 x 1000) each month in the calendar year of 2012. If the Sublease Premises Costs for calendar year 2013 are $1.35 per rentable square foot, the Sublessee shall be obligated to pay Sublessor with Base Rent an additional amount of $100 (1.35-1.25 x 1000) each month in the calendar year 2013. Beginning ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, Sublessor shall provide Sublessee with a statement with the actual Sublease Premises Costs for the prior calendar year (a “Reconciliation Statement”). If the Sublease Premises Costs are more than the estimate and amount paid by Sublessee, the Sublessee shall be obligated to pay to Sublessor the difference within thirty (30) days after Sublessee’s receipt of the applicable statement. Likewise, if the Sublease Premises Cost are less than the estimate and the amount paid by Sublessee, the Sublessor shall reimburse the Sublessee the difference within thirty (30) days after Sublessee’s receipt of the applicable statement. | ||
c. | Sublessor agrees that it will maintain complete and accurate records of all costs, expenses and disbursements paid or incurred by Sublessor, its employees, agents and/or contractors, with respect to the Building Operating Expenses and the Sublease Premises Costs. Provided Sublessee is not then in default under this Sublease, Sublessee shall have the right to audit Sublessor’s Buidling Operating Expenses and Sublease Premises Costs. Subessee shall give notice (an “Audit Notice”) to Sublessor of Sublessee’s intent to audit within ninety (90) days following Sublessee’s receipt of Sublessor’s Reconciliation Statement for each calendar year (“Audit Notice Period”). Provided Sublessee provides the Audit Notice to Sublessor within the Audit Notice Period, such audit shall be conducted by an independent reputable accounting firm acceptable to Sublessor — who shall not be compensated on a contingency fee basis — at a mutually agreeable time during normal business hours at the office of Sublessor or its management agent where the records are maintained. If Sublessee’s audit determines that the Reconciliation Statement has been understated, Sublessee shall be obligated to pay to Sublessor the difference within thirty (30) days after Sublessee’s receipt of the audit results. Likewise, if Sublessee’s audit determines that the Reconciliation Statement has been overstated, then Sublessor shall reimburse the Sublessee the difference within thirty (30) days after Sublessee’s receipt of the audit results. Furthermore, if Sublessee’s audit determines that the Reconciliation Statement has been overstated by more than five percent (5%), then subject to Subessor’s right to review and/or contest the audit results, Sublessor shall reimburse Sublessee for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such audit. |
6. | Use. Sublessee shall use the Sublease Premises as a commercial office and all legally related uses but for no other purposes without Sublessor’s written consent, which may be granted in Sublessor’s sole discretion; provided, however, in no event shall the use violate the permitted uses under the Master Lease. The Master Lease in Section 1.3, which Sublessee should review, permits the Building to be used for “general office use”... and “for any other purpose permitted by applicable zoning and the covenants, conditions and restrictions governing the Premises.” |
7
7. | Condition of Sublease Premises. Sublessee accepts the Sublease Premises in its present “as-is” condition, provided, however, Sublessor hereby represents and warrants to Sublessee that (a) the Master Lease is in full force and effect, and neither Sublessor or Master Lessor are in breach or default thereunder; (b) Sublessor is not aware of any encumbrances, liens, agreements, or covenants in effect that would materially or unreasonably limit Sublessee’s rights hereunder; (c) to the actual knowledge of Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx, the Vice President of Finance of Sublessor, without any duty to investigate, Sublessor is unaware of any impending condemnation plans, proposed assessments or other adverse conditions relating to the Subleased Premises or the Building, and (d) to the actual knowledge of Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx, the Vice President of Finance of Sublessor, without any duty to investigate, Sublessor is unaware of any existing violations at the Building of any Hazardous Materials Laws (as defined in the Master Lease). Subject to the foregoing representations and warranties by Sublessor, Sublessee shall be deemed to have agreed by accepting occupancy that the Sublease Premises are in good order, condition and repair. With the exception of the items Sublessor is obligated to maintain pursuant to Section 15 below, Sublessee, at Sublessee’s own expense, shall keep the interior of the Sublease Premises in good order, condition, and repair, including all fixtures and equipment installed by Sublessee, ordinary wear and tear and damage caused by casualty or condemnation excepted. |
a. | Sublessee shall not be responsible for maintenance and repair of plumbing, mechanical, windows, doors, HVAC or any items for which Sublessor is responsible pursuant to Section 15 hereof, unless such maintenance and repairs are necessitated due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessee. | ||
b. | In the event Sublessor does not promptly maintain or make repairs pursuant to Section 15 hereof and the failure to perform such maintenance and/or repairs will materially or unreasonablely limit Sublessee’s use of the Sublease Premises, and Sublessor has failed to commence and diligently pursue the maintenance and/or repairs within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice from Sublessee identifying the necessary maintenance and/or repairs required to be made pursuant to Section 15, Sublesee may arrange for such maintenance or repairs and charge Sublessor the actual cost of such repairs, which amounts shall be paid to Sublessee within thirty (30) days after delivery of an invoice to Sublessor. In the event such amounts are not time timely paid by Sublessor, Sublessor shall pay interest on such amounts at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date such amount was due until such time as the payment is made to Sublessee, and Sublessee may deduct such invoiced amounts from Base Rent and any other amounts due to Sublessor under this Sublease. |
8. | Assignment and Subletting. Notwithstanding Paragraph 6 of the Master Lease, which shall not be applicable to Sublessee and Sublessor, Sublessee shall not assign, mortgage or encumber this Sublease or any interest herein or sublet all or any part of the Sublease Premises or permit the Subleased Premises or any part thereof to be used by others (any and all of which hereinafter shall be referred to as a “transfer”), without the prior written consent of Sublessor which consent may be withheld or granted in Sublessor’s sole discretion. Any attempted transfer without the Sublessor’s prior written consent shall be void and shall confer no rights upon any third person and shall constitute a default under the Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the Master Lease and the rights of Master Lessor to approve the sublease or assignment, Sublessee shall have the right to sublease or assign the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof, without Sublessor’s consent, (a) to any affiliate of Sublessee (including, but not limited to, a parent, subsidiary or entity under common or related control with Sublessee), (b) in connection with a merger, consolidation or non-bankruptcy re-organization of Sublessee, (c) in connection with the sale of all or substantially all Sublessee’s assets, or all such assets as are used in connection with Sublessee’s use of the Subleased Premises (each of the foregoing a “Permitted Transfer”). In the event of a Permitted Transfer, Sublessee agrees to provide Sublessor with thirty (30) days prior written notice of such Permitted Transfer so that Sublessor can provide the written notice to Master Lessor. |
8
9. | Alterations. Except for the initial alterations to be performed by Sublessee at the outset of this Sublease, which are subject to prior approval of Master Lessor and Sublessor in their sole discretion, Sublessee covenants and agrees not to improve, alter, add to, remove or demolish any improvements on the Sublease Premises, or use any contractors or workmen to make alterations, without the prior written consent of Sublessor, which shall not be unreasaonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Sublessor, subject however, to the terms and provisions of the Master Lease. Master Lessor and/or Sublessor may condition the approval of Sublessee’s proposed alterations upon Sublessor removing the alterations upon the expiration of the term of the Sublease. In connection with any alterations to be performed by Sublessee, Sublessee agrees to use subcontractors reasonably approved by the Sublessor and Sublessee shall be responsible for all costs, expenses, and liability arising from and in connection with the alterations. | ||
10. | Master Lease Terms Apply. |
a. | This Sublease is subject to and subordinate to the Master Lease. All of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Master Lease shall be applicable to this Sublease as if Sublessor were the landlord under the Master Lease and Sublessee was the tenant thereunder except for (i) those terms, covenants and conditions that are specifically inconsistent with the terms of this Sublease, (ii) those terms, covenants and conditions that are excluded by the express terms of the Sublease, and (iii) Section 8 thereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided above or otherwise in this Sublease, and only with respect to the Sublease Premises, Sublessee hereby assumes and agrees to perform and observe all covenants and obligations of Sublessor under the Master Lease. | ||

9
no event shall any flammable materials, except for kinds and quantities customarily used for ordinary office occupancy, or any explosives whatsoever be taken into the Sublease Premises and the Building or retained therein. | |||

e. | Sublessor covenants and agrees that Sublessor will maintain in force and effect at all times during the term of this Sublease insurance required of Sublessor under the terms of the Master Lease.

(ii) | If any of the foregoing maintenance or repair is due to the acts or omissions of any Sublessee, Sublessee shall pay the costs of such repairs or maintenance to Sublessor within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the cost of the repairs. |

Overnight parking is not allowed. | ||
17. | Entry by Sublessor. Sublessor, Master Lessor, its agents, contractors and representatives may enter the Sublease Premises to inspect or show the Sublease Premises, to clean and make repairs, alterations or additions to the Sublease Premises, and to conduct or facilitate repairs, alterations, or additions to any portion of the Building, including other sublessee’s premises after giving Sublessee reasonable notice thereof and allowing a representative of Tenant to accompany Sublessor and such third parties.

In case Sublessee shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation commenced against Sublessor, then Sublessor shall protect and hold Sublessee harmless from and shall pay all reasonable costs, expenses and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred or paid by Sublessee in connection with such litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sublessor shall not be required to indemnify Sublessee for Claims due to the negligent acts of Sublessee, it agents, employees, or contractors.
20. | Environmental Matters.

LEASE AGREEMENT (Single Tenant Building) (Anthem Las Vegas Administration Building) THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (this “Lease”) is entered into as of the 19th day of April, 1999, between HENDERSON PROPERTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Nevada limited partnership, GURNEE VENTURE, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership, and NEWTOWN, L.P., an Illinois limited partnership, as tenants in common (jointly and severally “Landlord”), and XXX XXXX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”). 1. PREMISES: PERMITTED USE: 1.1 Lease of Premises. Landlord, subject to the following terms and conditions, hereby leases to Tenant the land described on Exhibit A located at 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx 00000 (the “Land”), and all improvements now and hereafter constructed thereon, together with all easements, rights-of-way and other appurtenances used in or connected with the beneficial use of the Land (collectively, the “Premises”). The improvements upon the Land consist of an office building containing 40,794 square feet of Rentable Area (as hereafter defined) (the “Building”) together with adjacent parking and landscaped areas. The Premises are depicted on the map attached as Exhibit B. Tenant shall have the exclusive right of possession of the Premises throughout the Lease Term, 24 hours each day, subject to casualty, condemnation, force majeure or other similar events beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. 1.2 As Is. Tenant acknowledges the Premises were constructed by a Tenant Affiliate (as defined in Section 6. 1) and the Premises and the Land were purchased by Landlord from a Tenant Affiliate. Landlord shall have no duty to construct, alter or adapt the Premises or Land in any manner. Tenant is not relying on any statement, representation or fact except as expressly stated in this Lease and acknowledges Landlord makes no warranty or representation as to the suitability of the Land or Premises for any use by Tenant. Tenant and/or Tenant Affiliates are in possession of the Premises and Tenant accepts the Land and the Premises “AS IS” with all faults, known or unknown. Tenant has reviewed the title report related to the Land and is familiar with the condition of such title, including the land exchange litigation and the mining claims related thereto. 1.3 Permitted Use. The Premises shall be used by Tenant and any Tenant Affiliate (as hereafter defined) for general office use and any and all purposes related to any aspect of Tenant’s and any Tenant Affiliate’s real estate, development, and homebuilding business (including, without limitation, title company operations, customer service offices, and telemarketing, but excluding any outside storage or outside construction activities on the Premises other than those contemplated in Section 10, without the prior written consent of Landlord) and for any other purpose permitted by applicable zoning and the covenants, conditions and restrictions governing the Premises.
2. TERM: POSSESSION: 2.1 Lease Term. The original term of this Lease (the “Original Term”) shall be fifteen (15) years. The Original Term shall commence on April 19, 1999 (the “Commencement Date”) and shall end on April 30, 2014. 2.2 Options to Renew. Provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease, after expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, either at the time it exercises the renewal options set forth below, or at the date a Renewal Term begins, Tenant will have the right to renew this Lease for three (3) successive three-year terms (the “Renewal Terms”) by giving notice of exercise of the renewal option to Landlord at least nine (9) months before the end of the Original Term or the then-existing Renewal Term (the Original Term and the Renewal Terms, if any, exercised by Tenant are collectively referred to as the “Lease Term”), If Tenant fails to deliver timely written notice of exercise of a renewal option to Landlord, all future renewal options shall lapse and Tenant will have no further privilege to extend the Lease Term. Each Renewal Term shall be on the same terms and conditions of this Lease as to the portion of the Premises so leased by Tenant (unless by their very nature inapplicable). In addition to paying the Rent, Tenant shall continue to pay all other sums required under this Lease during each Renewal Term. Tenant shall have the right to exercise each renewal option as to less than all of the Premises leased by Tenant during the Original Term (“Original Premises”), provided that Tenant identifies the portion of the Premises to be leased by Tenant in its notice exercising the renewal option. If Tenant exercises its renewal option to lease less than all of the Original Premises, then any future renewal options may be exercised by Tenant only with respect to all or a portion of such leasable area identified by Tenant. Prior to commencement of the first Renewal Term (if any) in which Tenant elects to lease less than all of the Original Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to amend the terms of this Lease (other than Rent) so that the Lease would be in the customary form of a triple net lease for a portion of office space in a building similar to the Building, with Tenant paying its pro rata share of operating expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s maintenance of the Building and related common areas, based on the ratio of the Rentable Area of the Premises to the Rentable Area of the Building. This Lease shall also be amended to allocate to Tenant an equitable share of the parking spaces on the Premises. Signage on the Premises shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.3. If Tenant exercises is renewal option to lease less than all of the Original Premises and the portion of the Premises to be leased by Tenant consists of one or more of four (4) of the discrete leasable areas shown on the floor plan of the Original Premises attached as Exhibit C, then Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost to retrofit the Building in order to separate Tenant’s leased premises from the balance of the Building and to conform Tenant’s retained premises to all applicable building, fire and other codes and regulations. For purposes hereof, the cost to retrofit the Building shall mean only the reasonable cost to rekey all Jocks and security devices, as reasonably necessary, and the cost to install separate utility meters, as reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant. If Tenant is retaining only a portion of the Premises on a single floor, the cost to retrofit the Building shall also include the cost to construct a single demising wall to separate the Premises, and Landlord shall pay any costs to reconfigure the common areas within
-2-
the Building, such as lobby and restroom areas, and any costs associated with changes to the common areas outside the Building. If Tenant exercises is renewal option to lease less than all of the Original Premises and the portion of the Premises to be leased by Tenant does not consist of one or more of four (4) of the discrete leasable areas shown on the floor plan of the Original Premises attached as Exhibit C, then Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to determine the reasonable cost and scope of work, and the party or parties responsible to pay the cost of same, necessary to separate Tenant’s leased premises from the balance of the Building and to conform Tenant’s retained premises to all applicable building, fire and other codes and regulations. The cost (including the cost sharing, if applicable), design, scope of work and scheduling of any Building retrofit shall be reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant, in good faith, within sixty (60) days after Tenant exercises its renewal option, and the retrofitting shall be completed within sixty (60) days after commencement of the Renewal Term where Tenant has elected to lease less than all of the Original Premises. Landlord shall, or at Landlord’s option Tenant shall, complete the Building retrofit according to the cost, design and schedule so determined. 3. MONTHLY BASE RENT; RENTABLE AREA: 3.1 Payment of Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the Lease Term, without any set-off, deduction, or abatement (except only as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease), monthly base rent (“Rent”) calculated at the following annual rates and payable on the first day of each month, in advance, at the office of Landlord at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other place as may from time to time be designated in writing by Landlord:

During the Renewal Terms, the Rent paid by Tenant shall be equal to the prevailing fair market rental paid for similar-sized premises in the area of the Building, by tenants of comparable creditworthiness, taking into consideration length of lease term, payment of costs for taxes, insurance and other maintenance expenses, tenant improvement allowances (including the cost to Tenant and Landlord, if applicable, to retrofit the Building), real estate broker commissions and tenant inducements. No later than six (6) months prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a notice setting forth the Rent to be paid by Tenant during the upcoming Renewal Term, which notice shall set forth the basis for Tenant’s determination of the Rent, including the scope and design of the Building retrofit and the party responsible to pay for and perform the same. If Tenant fails to deliver such notice with the time period specified, then Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a notice setting forth the Rent to be paid by Tenant during the upcoming Renewal Term, which notice shall set forth the basis for Landlord’s determination of the Rent. The party receiving the notice of Rent shall have the right to object to the amount of the Rent by notice given to the other party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice. Upon receipt of such objection, the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days to determine the amount of Rent to be paid by Tenant during the Renewal Term. If the parties have not agreed upon the amount of Rent during such 30-day period, then the Rent shall be determined by the designated broker of the largest commercial real estate brokerage company in the Las Vegas metropolitan area (determined with respect to the number of square feet of office building space leased in the immediately prior calendar year), and shall be either the amount designated by Landlord or the amount designated by Tenant. Such determination shall be binding upon the parties. Landlord and Tenant shall each be responsible to pay one-half of the fees charged by the broker to make such determination. If the Lease Term commences or terminates on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, Rent for such month shall he prorated on a daily basis, based on the number of days in effect during such month. If the Lease Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month. Rent for such partial month shall be paid on or before the commencement of the Lease Term. 3.2 Rentable Area. The “Rentable Area” of the Building is 40,794 square feet. For purposes of this Lease, the “Rentable Area” of the Premises (including any calculation of Rentable Area for a portion of the Original Premises leased by Tenant pursuant to Section 2.2) and the Building shall be “Net Rentable Area” as defined in accordance with the ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996 standard. 4. PAYMENT_OF ADDITIONAL CHARGES BY TENANT: 4.1 Tenant’s Obligation to Pay Additional Charges. Tenant shall, for the entire Lease Term, pay to Landlord or to other third parties as provided herein, in addition to Rent, without any set-off, deduction or abatement (except only as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease) the amounts set forth in this Article 5, as and when payable by Tenant as described herein. 4.2 Taxes and Assessments. Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, all real estate taxes and improvement liens and similar assessments levied against the Premises, assessments charged

by any property owners’ association established with respect to the Premises or otherwise levied against the Premises pursuant to the Governing Documents (as hereinafter defined), in any case general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, including, without limitation, ad valorem taxes, personal property taxes, transit taxes, special or extraordinary assessments, government levies, substitute taxes, assessments, excises, charges or fees assessed or levied in lieu of the foregoing, and expenses and fees, but excluding income taxes, franchise taxes, inheritance taxes and gift taxes and specifically including any taxes and assessments which were to be paid by the seller of the Land (which is a Tenant Affiliate). To the extent feasible, Tenant shall have all bills for such amounts to be sent directly to Tenant. If such bills are sent to Landlord, Landlord shall promptly forward the same to Tenant. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence of Tenant’s payment of any such amounts. Tenant shall have the right to contest any such amounts in accordance with applicable law, and Tenant shall be entitled to any refund or rebate in any amounts that relates to the period of the Lease Term. Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant, at no expense to Landlord, in connection with any such protest. If Landlord places a mortgage on the Premises and such lender requires taxes be paid through it by means of monthly impound or otherwise, Tenant shall pay taxes payable by Tenant under this Lease to the Lender as designated by the Lender in written notice to Landlord and Tenant so long as the Lender agrees to pay such taxes to the taxing authority. Landlord shall give Lender Landlord’s written consent to communicate directly with Tenant on all matters relating to such taxes. So long as Tenant pays taxes to the Lender as provided herein, Tenant shall have no liability for the Lender’s failure to pay the taxes to the taxing authority. If Tenant has paid any such taxes and assessments that relate to the period after the expiration or termination of this Lease, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct such amount from the final installment of Rent hereunder or, at Tenant’s option, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the same within ten (10) days after demand by Tenant. 5. ADDITIONAL TAXES: Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to and together with each installment of Rent and any other payment made by Tenant under this Lease, the amount of any gross receipts tax, transaction privilege or sales tax or similar tax (but excluding therefrom any income tax) payable, or which will be payable, by Landlord, by reason of the receipt of the Rent and any other payment made by Tenant under this Lease, and adjustments thereto. Tenant shall pay taxes due on its personal property. 6. ASSIGNMENT SUBLETTING: 6.1 Tenant Affiliate. Except for an assignment or sublease to a Tenant Affiliate as hereafter defined, and except for any sublease that would expire on or before the expiration date of the Lease Term, Tenant may not Assign this Lease, or sublet all or any part of the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. As used herein, “Tenant Affiliate” means any entity where at least fifty percent (50%) of its stock, partnership interests, membership interests, or other beneficial interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by Xxx Xxxx Corporation. If Tenant enters into a sublease or assignment that does not require Landlord’s consent, then Tenant shall be
-5-
responsible for the cost of all brokerage commissions and tenant improvements payable in connection with such sublease or assignment. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to any assignment or any sublease that would expire after the expiration of the Original Term (or the then applicable Renewal Term, if Tenant has exercised such right), Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request within thirty (30) days after receipt of details of the proposed assignment or subletting. If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s request within the 30-day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the request. If Landlord approves, or is deemed to have approved, Tenant’s request to any such assignment or sublease, then: (i) Landlord shall enter into an agreement, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its mortgagee to enter into an agreement, with the subtenant or assignee, agreeing to be bound by the terms of the sublease or assignment notwithstanding any default by Tenant under this Lease and notwithstanding any expiration of the Lease Term, so long as the subtenant or assignee is not in default under its sublease or assigned lease after expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods; (ii) Landlord shall reimburse Tenant, within ten (10) days after demand by Tenant, for Landlord’s pro rata share of the brokerage commissions, tenant improvements, and other ordinary and customary leasing costs (collectively, “Leasing Costs”) payable in connection with such sublease and assignment. The Leasing Costs shall be deemed to be amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment, in the same proportion as rent. The Leasing Costs shall be prorated between Landlord and Tenant in the same manner that rental is shared by Landlord and Tenant based on the expiration date of the Lease Term: i.e., Tenant’s share of the rent and the Leasing Costs shall be calculated for the period on or before expiration of the Lease Term, and Landlord’s share of the rent and the Leasing Costs shall be calculated for the period after the expiration date of the Lease Term. If Landlord fails to pay its share of the Leasing Costs within the ten-day period, then Tenant shall be entitled to offset the same against the Rent and other sums payable under this Lease. 6.2 Right to Recapture. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to any assignment or subletting that requires Landlord’s consent under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, by written notice given to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request for consent, to terminate this Lease and recapture the portion of the Premises subject to such request by Tenant. If Landlord exercises such right within 30-day period, then this Lease and Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall terminate as to such portion of the Premises sixty (60) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of Landlord’s election to recapture such portion of the Premises, and Rent and all other charges payable under this Lease shall be reduced proportionately. Until such termination, Tenant will, however, remain liable for the performance of all the terms and conditions hereof.

6.3 Assignment and Assumption. No assignment or subletting by Tenant (including, without limitation, to a Tenant Affiliate) shall be effective until the assignee or sublessee shall assume in writing the obligations of Tenant under this Lease that relate to the applicable portion of the Premises that arise after the effective date thereof. No assignment, assumption of obligations or subletting shall relieve Tenant of its obligations to Landlord under this Lease. 7. UTILITIES: Tenant shall pay, when due, directly to the utility provider, all charges for sewer usage, refuse removal, water, electricity, telephone and/or other utility services or energy source furnished to the Premises during the Lease Term. 8.

Tenant shall arrange its own trash removal. Tenant’s obligations shall include, but not be limited to, the maintenance, repair, and replacement, if necessary, of interior lighting, HVAC system, parking lot and driveways located on the Premises, sidewalks, loading docks and exterior light fixtures, landscaping, electrical and plumbing systems (including without limitation sewer lines), fixtures and equipment, restrooms, interior walls and ceilings, partitions, doors and windows, painting of the interior and the exterior of the Building, and the replacement of all broken glass from doors and windows. When used in this provision, the term “repairs” shall include ordinary and customary replacements or renewals when necessary, and all repairs made by Tenant shall be substantially equal in quality and class to the original work. 8.2 Failure by Tenant to Perform Its Maintenance Obligations. If Tenant fails, refuses or neglects to perform its obligations under this Article 8, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord, Landlord may make such repairs without liability to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant’s merchandise, fixtures or other property or its business by reason thereof (except that Landlord shall be liable for its own negligence or willful misconduct). Upon completion thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the xxxx therefor, all costs incurred by Landlord in making such repairs, plus eight percent (8%) of such costs for overhead incurred by Landlord in making such repairs, plus interest on all such sums from the date advanced by Landlord until paid, at the base rate (“Prime Rate”) on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the thirty (30) largest U.S. banks as reported in the Money Rates column of the Wall Street Journal on the date of the award, plus five percent (5%) on the date of Landlord’s expenditure.

Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request within thirty (30) days after receipt of details of the proposed work (except in case of emergency alterations or additions being required, in which event Tenant may proceed with reasonably necessary alterations or additions and give prompt notice to Landlord of its actions and the reasons therefore).

Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any mechanics’, materialmen’s, contractors’ or other liens arising from, or any claims for damages growing out of, any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to contest any such lien, in which event such lien shall not be considered a default under this Lease until the existence of the lien has been finally adjudicated and all appeal periods have expired.

If the casualty or damage occurs to the Premises on or after the twelfth anniversary of the date of this Lease and (a) the cost to repair the damage shall exceed fifty percent (50%) of the full replacement value of the Building (exclusive of the foundation), as reasonably determined by Tenant, or (b) the damage shall be so extensive that repairs cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of issuance of required permits (permitting to take no more than 90 days and Tenant to use diligent efforts to obtain same), as reasonably determined by Tenant, or (c) the casualty loss occurs during the last eighteen (18) months of the Original Term (or the last six (6) months of any Renewal Term), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, as of the date of such damage, by notice given to Landlord within thirty (30) days following the casualty loss. 12.3 Landlord’s Right to Terminate.

MUTUAL RELEASE/WAIVER OF SUBROGATION: INSURANCE: 14.1 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby release the other from any and all liability or responsibility for any direct or consequential loss, injury or damage during the Lease Term, to the extent such loss, injury or damage is covered by the terms of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord or Tenant. Inasmuch as the above mutual waivers will preclude the assignment of any claim by way of subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any other person), each party hereto agrees if required by such policies to give to each insurance company which has issued to it all risk and other property insurance, written notice of the terms of said mutual waivers, and to have such policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of the waivers. 14.2 Use of Premises by Tenant. Tenant shall, at its own expense, comply with the requirements of insurance underwriters and insurance rating bureaus and governmental authorities having jurisdiction, except to the extent this Lease requires Landlord to comply with the same. 14.3 Insurance to be Maintained by Tenant.

(c) Property insurance insuring the Building against loss or damage due to the perils of fire and other casualties covered within the classification of fire and extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, special extended coverage (All Risk), sprinkler leakage and water damage. Such policies shall name Tenant as the insured and shall designate Landlord and Landlord’s lender (if Tenant has been notified of the same) as additional insureds. Such policies shall include coverage equal to the full replacement cost of the Building (replacement cost new, including coverage for the cost of debris removal and coverage for the cost of complying with building, zoning, safety, land use and other laws as a result of any casualty or loss) as to prevent the application of co-insurance provisions. Such policies shall include rent loss (unless the same is unreasonably expensive, in view of comparable leases with comparable tenants in the Las Vegas metropolitan area) and may include difference-in-conditions coverage. Such insurance may include such deductibles and self-insured retentions as are reasonable and customary for a tenant with similar revenues and net worth, occupying similar leased space. Tenant may provide any coverage required under this Lease through blanket policies. 14.4 Requirements for All Insurance. The insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder shall be obtained from companies maintaining at all times during the policy term a “General Policyholders Rating” of at least B+ and a financial rating of at least Class V, as set forth in the most current issue of “Best’s Insurance Guide.” Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage. Each policy shall contain a provision requiring thirty (30) days’ written notice to Landlord before cancellation of the policy can be effected. Tenant shall provide Landlord, at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of such policies, with certificates or insurance binders evidencing renewal thereof. 15.

Excepting the reasonable and prudent use of materials essential to the
-12-
processes in Tenant’s operations, and the incidental storage thereof, which shall be in full compliance with all Hazardous Material Laws, Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be generated, produced, brought upon, used, stored, treated, discharged, released, spilled or disposed of on, in, under or about the Premises, or into the groundwater or the environment, by Tenant, its affiliates, sublessees, assignees, or the employees, agents, invitees, licensees, contractors or representatives of any of the foregoing. Tenant shall conduct no business on the Premises whose primary purpose is the generation, production, use, storage, treatment, disposal, sale, conveyance or transfer of any Hazardous Material. The use of any Hazardous Material on the Premises shall be a secondary function incidental to Tenant’s business.

Tenant will provide Landlord with a copy of any environmental audit, study or report concerning the Premises or any part thereof within the possession or control of Tenant. 15.6 Survival. The respective rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Article 15 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease or Tenant’s non-occupancy of the Premises. 16. DEFAULT; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY: 16.1 Default by Tenant. Tenant shall be in default under this Lease if: (a) Tenant fails to pay any Rent or other sum of money due hereunder and such failure continues for ten (10) days after notice thereof to Tenant; or (b) Tenant fails to perform any of the terms or conditions hereof (but excluding the payment of Rent or other monetary sums due under this Lease) and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice of default from Landlord; provided, however, that if such failure cannot reasonably be corrected, even by prompt and diligent action, within thirty (30) days, and if Tenant commences curing such failure within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion, Tenant shall have a reasonable period of time after the thirtieth (30th) day to continue curing. 16.2 Remedies of Landlord.

-14-
reasonable cost of obtaining possession of the Premises and of reletting the Premises, including broker’s commissions, and of any repairs and alterations necessary to prepare the Premises for reletting, less the rentals actually received from such reletting, if any. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate damages and relet the Premises. Any recovery of future rent from Tenant, will be discounted by applying the Prime Rate plus one percent (1%). 16.3 Cumulative Remedies of Landlord. No action of Landlord shall be construed as an election to terminate the Lease or to accept a surrender of the Premises unless written notice of such intention be given to Tenant. Neither acceptance of Rent by Landlord, nor acceptance of partial payment of Rent or other partial performance, with or without knowledge of breach, nor failure of Landlord to take action on account of any breach hereof or to enforce its rights hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any breach, and absent written notice or consent, the breach shall be a continuing one.

B.

C. Tenant desires to make certain alterations to the Premises and requests Landlord’s consent to make such alterations. D. Landlord’s consent to Tenant’s request to make the proposed alterations is subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. E. Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease as provided herein. Now, Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant covenant, agree and hereby amend the Lease as follows: 1. Alterations. Attached as Exhibit A hereto is a description of the alterations proposed by Tenant. 2. Plans and Specifications. Tenant shall be solely responsible for preparing the plans and specifications (the “Plans and Specifications”) for the proposed alterations, including any costs, fees and expenses associated therewith. The Plans and Specifications for the proposed alterations shall be submitted to Landlord for its review and approval in writing, prior to the commencement of construction. Moreover, prior to Tenant’s submittal of any applications to any Governmental Authorities (defined in Section 4 below) in connection with the proposed alterations, or Plans and Specifications which have not previously been approved by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver a copy of such applications or Plans and Specifications to Landlord for its review and approval in writing. Landlord shall have 10 business days from the receipt of such
applications or Plans and Specifications to approve or disapprove same, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Landlord approves such applications or Plans and Specifications, it shall do so by written notice to Tenant. If Tenant is not notified in writing of Landlord’s approval, Landlord shall be deemed to have disapproved such applications or Plans and Specifications; provided, however, if Landlord fails to respond to the request within the ten business day time period and Tenant provides Landlord with a second written request which Landlord fails to respond to within five (5) business days of receipt of the second written request, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such application or Plans and Specifications. If Landlord disapproves the request, Landlord’s written disapproval shall set forth in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval. 3. Landlord’s Consent or Approval. Any proposed alterations which are approved by Landlord as provided herein are referred to as the “Alterations.” The approval by Landlord of any applications or Plans and Specifications for any proposed alterations, or in connection with any other matter requiring the approval or consent of Landlord under this Amendment or the Lease, shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of: (i) any requirement or obligation of Tenant contained in this Amendment or in the Lease, or (ii) any right of Landlord to withhold approval or consent to any other matters subsequently submitted to Landlord. Landlord, nor any person acting on behalf of Landlord, shall be liable to Tenant in connection with the exercise by Landlord of any of its rights under this Amendment. Landlord’s approval of or consent to any applications, Plans and Specifications or proposed alterations, shall not be deemed consent or approval from the standpoint of safety, conformance with building codes or other governmental regulations, compliance with the Governing Documents, or for any other matter, and Landlord assumes no liability in connection with any such consent or approval. Any consent or approval given by Landlord pursuant to this Amendment shall be personal to Tenant, and may not be assigned or transferred without the written consent of Landlord. 4. Contractors and Approvals. The Alterations shall be constructed by contractors duly licensed and bonded in the State of Nevada. All construction contracts and subcontracts, and supply and material contracts, shall be in writing, and shall separately itemize, including price, the various components of the Alterations, and shall permit the assignment of all warranties concerning the Alterations to Landlord. The Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with (a) the Plans and Specifications, (b) all applicable laws, regulations, codes, and ordinances, and (c) all requirements of governmental authorities and other duly qualified bodies (“Governmental Authorities”) having jurisdiction with respect to each portion of the Alterations.

Correction of Deficient Work. In the event of rejection by any Governmental Authority or Landlord of any item of the Alterations that fails to substantially conform to the Plans and Specifications, Tenant shall promptly commence to correct such item that fails to substantially conform to the Plans and Specifications and diligently prosecute such correction to its completion. Tenant shall bear all costs of correcting any such rejected item. Landlord shall have twenty (20) business days (the “Review Period”) following receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying the items of the Alterations that have been completed and are available for inspection, within which to inspect and provide Tenant written notification that such item(s) fails to substantially conform to the Plans and Specifications. Following the expiration of the Review Period, Landlord may not thereafter claim such item(s) specified in Tenant’s notice fails to substantially conform to the Plans and Specifications. 9. Tenant’s Failure to Complete Alterations. 9.1 In the event Tenant commences the Alterations and fails to perform and complete the Alterations in a diligent manner, Landlord may pursue any and all remedies available at law, in equity or this Section; provided, however, before exercising any of Landlord’s remedies available under this Section, Landlord shall provide Tenant with prior written notice that Tenant has not diligently pursued the completion of the Alterations and Tenant shall have a reasonable period of time after the Landlord’s notice to commence and complete the Alterations which shall not be less than one hundred and twenty days (120) after the scheduled date of completion as extended one day for each day of delay caused by events beyond the control of Tenant. 9.2 Moreover, in the event of such a failure, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake to perform and complete the Alterations.

To facilitate Landlord’s ability to complete the Alterations, Tenant shall
-3-
execute and deliver to Landlord, upon request, the following instruments and documents: (i) Absolute Assignment of those Architect’s, Engineer’s and General Contractor’s Agreements entered into for the Alterations, (collectively referred to as the “Contracts”) in form prepared by Landlord and acceptable to Tenant and the contractors, (ii) Absolute Assignment of Permits, Licenses, and Approvals obtained in connection with the Alterations which are assignable, (collectively the “Permits”) in form prepared by Landlord and acceptable to Tenant; and (iii) any further reasonable documents or instruments deemed by Landlord, within its reasonable discretion, to be necessary or appropriate in order to allow Landlord to exercise its rights under this Section. 9.3 Should Landlord exercise its right to complete the Alterations pursuant to this Section, any and all reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by Landlord (“Landlord’s Expenses”) in connection therewith shall be paid to Landlord by Tenant. Moreover, Tenant shall pay Landlord an overhead and administration fee equal to 10% of the total amount of Landlord’s Expenses. Any and all amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Section shall be paid within 30 days of written demand by Landlord. 10. Payment of Costs and Expenses. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment of any and all costs, charges, fees, premiums and expenses of any kind or nature incurred in connection with or relating to Tenant’s construction of the proposed Alterations. 11. Liens.

Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Premises and Landlord and Landlord’s respective, members, affiliates and its and their respective employees, officers, directors, members, shareholders, agents and representatives, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, “Indemnities”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, demands and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (collectively, the “Liabilities”), incurred by Indemnities and arising out of or resulting from or in any way related to, in whole or in part, any act or omission of Tenant or any officer, director, member shareholder, agent of Tenant, or any professional consultant, contractor or other representative hired by Tenant (“Tenant’s Contractors”) in connection with the Alterations that occur upon the Premises. Tenant’s indemnity obligations under this Section 12 shall be limited to Liabilities that Tenant becomes aware of prior to the termination of the Lease and, with respect to such Liabilities, shall survive the termination of the Lease. 13. Limited Consent. This Amendment does not and shall not be construed or implied to be a consent to any matter for which Landlord’s consent is required under the Lease,
-4-
including without limitation any alternations, improvements or modifications of the Premises, except for the Alterations. 14. No Removal of Alterations. Upon completion of the Alterations as provided herein they shall be a part of the Premises, and Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the Alterations upon termination of the Lease. 15. Assignment of Warranties. Effective as of the termination of the Lease, Tenant shall assign all warranties concerning the Alterations to Landlord. 16. Amendment to Lease.
