Any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) incurred in attempting to protest, reduce or minimize Taxes shall be included in Taxes for the year in which they are incurred. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, Taxes shall be determined without regard to any “green building” credit and shall exclude (i) all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, transfer taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent (x) applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the property), or (y) measured solely by the square footage, rent, fees, services, tenant allowances or similar amounts, rights or obligations described or provided in or under any particular lease, license or similar agreement or transaction at the Building; (ii) any Expenses, and (iii) any items required to be paid or reimbursed by Tenant under Section 4.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord receives a “green building” credit against Taxes for any Expense Year as a result, in whole or in part, of Landlord’s incurrence of any amount(s) included in Expenses for any Expense Year(s) (collectively, the “Tenant-Paid Cost”), then, to the extent such credit is fairly attributable to the Tenant-Paid Cost, Taxes for such Expense Year shall be reduced by the lesser of (x) the amount of such credit, or (y) the Tenant-Paid Cost. If any assessment included in Taxes can be
paid by Landlord in installments, such assessment shall not be included in Taxes in any calendar year in an amount exceeding that which would be included in Taxes in such calendar year if such assessment were paid in the maximum number of installments permitted by Law.
4.3 Allocation. Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, may equitably allocate Expenses among office, retail or other portions or occupants of the Property. If Landlord incurs Expenses or Taxes for the Property together with another property, Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, shall equitably allocate such shared amounts between the Property and such other property.
4.4 Calculation and Payment of Expenses and Taxes.
4.4.1 Statement of Actual Expenses and Taxes; Payment by Tenant. Landlord shall give to Tenant, after the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the “Statement”) setting forth the actual Expenses and Taxes for such Expense Year. If the amount paid by Tenant for such Expense Year pursuant to Section 4.4.2 is less or more than the sum of Tenant’s Share of the actual Expenses plus Tenant’s Share of the actual Taxes (as such amounts are set forth in such Statement), Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment, or receive a credit in the amount of such overpayment, with or against the Rent then or next due hereunder, provided, however, that if this Lease has expired or terminated and Tenant has vacated the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment, or Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of such overpayment (less any Rent due), within 30 days after delivery of such Statement. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the Statement on or before June 30 of the calendar year immediately following the Expense Year to which it applies. Any failure of Landlord to timely deliver the Statement for any Expense Year shall not diminish either party’s rights under this Section 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) Landlord fails to furnish a Statement on or before October 31 of the calendar year following the Expense Year to which such Statement applies, (b) Tenant, after October 31 of such calendar year, provides Landlord with notice of such failure (which notice shall expressly include the text of this sentence), and (c) Landlord fails to furnish such Statement by the later of (i) December 31 of such calendar year, or (ii) the date occurring 30 days after Landlord’s receipt of such notice from Tenant, then Tenant shall not be required to pay Landlord any underpayment for such Expense Year, except as provided in Section 4.4.3. Except as provided in Section 4.4.3 and 4.6, the Statement shall be deemed to be final and binding upon both Landlord and Tenant.
4.4.2 Statement of Estimated Expenses and Taxes. Landlord shall give to Tenant, for each Expense year, a statement (the “Estimate Statement”) setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimates of the Expenses (the “Estimated Expenses”) and Taxes (the “Estimated Taxes”) for such Expense Year. Upon receiving an Estimate Statement, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent coming due at least 30 days after such receipt, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the amount obtained by multiplying (i) the sum of Tenant’s Share of the Estimated Expenses plus Tenant’s Share of the Estimated Taxes (as such amounts are set forth in such Estimate Statement), by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months that have elapsed in the applicable Expense Year (including the month of such payment) and the denominator of which is 12, over (b) any amount previously paid by Tenant for such Expense Year pursuant to this Section 4.4.2. Until Landlord delivers a new Estimate Statement (which Landlord may do at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the sum of Tenant’s Share of the Estimated Expenses plus Tenant’s Share of the Estimated Taxes, as such amounts are set forth in the previous Estimate Statement. Any failure of Landlord to timely deliver any Estimate Statement shall not diminish Landlord’s rights to receive payments and revise any previous Estimate Statement under this Section 4.
4.4.3 Retroactive Adjustment of Taxes. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if, after Landlord’s delivery of any Statement, an increase or decrease in Taxes occurs for the applicable Expense Year (whether by reason of reassessment, error, or otherwise), Taxes for such Expense Year shall be retroactively adjusted. If, as a result of such adjustment, it is determined that Tenant has under-or overpaid Tenant’s Share of such Taxes, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment, or receive a credit in the amount of such overpayment, with or against the Rent then or next due hereunder; provided, however, that if this Lease has expired or terminated and Tenant has vacated the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment, or Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of such overpayment (less any Rent due), within 30 days after such adjustment is made.
4.5 Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible. Tenant shall pay, 10 days before delinquency, any taxes levied against Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal property located in or about the Premises. If any such taxes are levied against Landlord or its property (or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such equipment, furniture, fixtures or other personal property of Tenant), Landlord may pay such taxes (or such increased assessment) regardless of their (or its) validity, in which event Tenant, upon demand, shall repay to Landlord the amount so paid. If, during any period in which the Premises comprise less than 100% of the rentable square footage of the Building, the Leasehold Improvements (defined in Section 7.1) are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s “building standard” in other space in the Building are
assessed, the Taxes levied against Landlord or the Property by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed taxes levied against Tenant’s personal property for purposes of this Section 4.5. For purposes of the preceding sentence. Landlord acknowledges that the Proposed Initial Alterations (defined in Section 2.2.2 of Exhibit B) conform to Landlord’s “building standard.” Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, Tenant shall pay 10 days before delinquency (or reimburse to Landlord upon demand, if the same is required by Law to be paid by Landlord); (i) any rent tax, sales tax, service tax, transfer tax, value added tax, use tax, business tax, gross income tax, gross receipts tax, or other tax, assessment, fee, levy or charge measured solely by the square footage, Rent, services, tenant allowances or similar amounts, rights or obligations described or provided in or under this Lease, and (ii)any taxes assessed upon the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of any portion of the Property.
4.6 Books and Records. Within 60 days after receiving any Statement (the “Review Notice Period”), Tenant may give Landlord notice (“Review Notice”) stating that Tenant elects to review Landlord’s calculation of the Expenses and/or Taxes for the Expense Year to which such Statement applies and identifying with reasonable specificity the records of Landlord reasonably relating to such matters that Tenant desires to review. Within a reasonable time after receiving a timely Review Notice (and, at Landlord’s option, an executed confidentiality agreement as described below), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, or make available for inspection at a location reasonably designated by Landlord, copies of such records. Within 60 days after such records are made available to Tenant (the “Objection Period”), Tenant may deliver to Landlord notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating with reasonable specificity any objections to the Statement, in which event Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve Tenant’s objections. Tenant may not deliver more than one Review Notice or more than one Objection Notice with respect to any Expense Year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord a Review Notice before the expiration of the Review Notice Period or fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice before the expiration of the Objection Period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Statement. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent must be with a CPA firm licensed to do business in the State of California and its fees shall not be contingent, in whole or in part, upon the outcome of the review. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of such review. The records and any related information obtained from Landlord shall be treated as confidential, and as applicable only to the Premises, by Tenant, its auditors, consultants, and any other parties reviewing the same on behalf of Tenant (collectively, “Tenant’s Auditors”). Before making any records available for review, Landlord may require Tenant and Tenant’s Auditors to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement, in which event Tenant shall cause the same to be executed and delivered to Landlord within 30 days after receiving it from Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, the Objection Period shall be reduced by one day for each day by which such execution and delivery follows the expiration of such 30-day period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, Tenant may not examine Landlord’s records or dispute any Statement if any Rent remains unpaid past its due date. If, for any Expense Year, Landlord and Tenant determine that the sum of Tenant’s Share of the actual Expenses plus Tenant’s Share of the actual Taxes is less or more than the amount reported, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of its overpayment against Rent then or next due hereunder; provided, however, that if this Lease has expired or terminated and Tenant has vacated the Premises, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of its overpayment (less any Rent due), or Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of its underpayment, within 30 days after such determination.

11.1 With reasonable promptness after discovering any damage to the promises (other than trade Fixtures), or to any Common Area or Building System necessary for access to or tenantability of the Promises, resulting from any fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the time required to substantially complete repair of such damage (the “Landlord Repairs”). If, according to such estimate, the Landlord Repairs cannot substantially Completed within 270 days after the date of the Casualty, either party may terminate this Lease upon 60 days’ notice to the other party delivered within 10 days after Landlord’s delivery of such estimate. Within 90 days after discovering any damage to the Property resulting from any Casualty, Landlord may terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant if (i) the cost of the Landlord Repairs exceeds (any such excess, a “Shortfall”) the sum of (a) the proceeds of Landlord’s insurance (other than with respect to any Tenant-Insured Improvements), less any portion thereof that is lawfully required by any Security Holder to be used to pay any mortgage debt; plus (b) if any insurance required under Section 10.6 is not carried by Landlord, then any proceeds of such insurance (other than with respect to any Tenant-Insured Improvements) that would have been available to Landlord (any could not have lawfully required by any Security Holder to be used to pay any mortgage debt) if Landlord had carried such insurance (subject to maximum commercially reasonable deductibles), plus (c) any applicable deductibles (other than with respect to earthquake damage), plus (d) any insurance proceeds or other amounts paid to Landlord pursuant to Section 11.2, plus (e) 5% of the replacement cost of the Building, as reasonably determined by Landlord: or (ii) Landlord is not legally permitted to rebuild the Building and Common Areas in substantially the same configuration structurally and architecturally; or (iii) the damage occurs during the last 12 months of the Term and Landlord estimates that the Landlord Repairs cannot be substantially completed within the period beginning on the date of the Causalty and having a duration equal to 20% of the balance of the Term remaining on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice of termination of this Lease pursuant to clause (l) of the preceding sentence (a “Shortfall Termination Notice”) shall be ineffective if (x) Tenant, within 10 business days after receiving such Shortfall Termination Notice, notifies Landlord that Tenant agrees to pay, and provides Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant’s ability to pay, the Shortfall; and (y) the Shortfall does not exceed 5% of the replacement cost of the Building, as reasonably determined by Landlord. If any shortfall Termination Notice becomes ineffective by operation of the preceding sentence and this Lease is not otherwise terminated pursuant to this Section 11.1, then (i) Tenant, within three (3) business days after Landlord’s request (which shall not be made more frequently than once per calendar month), shall deliver to Landlord, as Additional Rent, in addition to any amounts required to be paid to Landlord under Section 11.2, cash in an amount equal to (a) the Shortfall multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total cost of the Landlord Repairs incurred by Landlord to date, and the denominator of which is Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the total cost of the Landlord Repairs, less (b) the total amount of the payments previously made by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this sentence; (ii) if Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the total cost of the Landlord Repairs changed to reflect the total actual cost of the Landlord Repairs, then the Shortfall and the amounts payable pursuant to this sentence shall be adjusted equitably; and (iii) Tenant shall not, by reason of Tenant’s delivery of such amounts, acquire any ownership, equitable mortgage or similar interest in any part of the Property or otherwise become entitled to reimbursement from Landlord, it being hereby acknowledged and agreed by Tenant that Landlord’s agreement to perform the Landlord Repairs as required under this Section 11, together with the other terms and conditions hereof, shall be deemed adequate consideration for such delivery.
11.2 If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 11.1. Landlord shall promptly and diligently perform the Landlord Repairs, subject to reasonably delays for insurance adjustment and other events of Force Majeure. The Landlord Repairs shall restore the Premises (other than trade fixtures) and any Common Area or Building system necessary for access to or tenantability of the Premises to substantially the same condition that existed when the Casualty occurred, except for (a) any modifications required by Law or any Security Holder, and (b) any modifications to the Common Areas that are deemed desirable by Landlord, are consistent with the character of the Project, and do not materially impair access to or tenantability of the Premises. Notwithstanding Section 10.4, if this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 11.1, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or its designee) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance required under Section 10.2 with respect to any Tenant-Insured Improvements, and if the estimated or actual cost of restoring any Tenant-Insured Improvements, exceeds the insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier. Tenant shall pay such excess to Landlord within 15 days after Landlord’s demand. No Casualty and no restoration performed as required hereunder shall render Landlord liable to Tenant, constitute a constructive eviction, or excuse Tenant from any obligation hereunder, provided, however, that if the Premises (other than trade fixtures) or any Common Area or Building system necessary for access to or tenantability of the Premises is damaged by a Casualty, then, during any time that, as a result of such damage, any portion of the Premises is inaccessible or untenantable and is not occupied by Tenant, Monthly Rent shall be abated in proportion to the rentable square footage of such portion of the Premises. If Landlord does not substantially complete the Landlord Repairs on or before the Outside Restoration Date (defined below), then, provided that the Casualty was not caused by the willful misconduct of Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notifying Landlord within 15 days after the Outside Restoration Date. As used herein, “Outside Restoration Date” means the date occurring
two (2) months after the later of (a) the expiration of the time set forth in Landlord’s estimate described in the first sentence of Section 11.1, or (b) the date occurring 270 days after the date of the Casualty: provided, however, that the Outside Restoration Date shall be extended to the extent of (i) any delay (not to exceed 60 days) caused by the insurance adjustment process, (ii) any other delay (not to exceed 60 days) caused by events of Force Majeure, and (iii) any delay caused by Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord determines in good faith that it will be unable to substantially complete the Landlord Repairs on or before the Outside Restoration Date, Landlord may cease its performance of the Landlord Repairs and provide Tenant with notice (the “Restoration Date Extension Notice”) stating such inability and identifying the date on which Landlord reasonably believes such substantial completion will occur, in which event Tenant may terminate this Lease by notifying Landlord within five (5) business days after receiving the Restoration Date Extension Notice. If Tenant does not terminate this Lease within such 5-business day period, the Outside Restoration Date shall be automatically amended to be the date identified in the Restoration Date Extension Notice.
12 NONWAIVER. No provision hereof shall be deemed waived by either party unless it is waived by such party expressly and in writing, and no waiver of any breach of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or any other provision hereof. Landlord’s acceptance of Rent shall not be deemed a waiver of any preceding breach of any provision hereof, other than Tenant’s failure to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of such acceptance. No acceptance of payment of an amount less than the Rent due hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount of Rent due, whether or not any endorsement or statement accompanying such payment purports to effect an accord and satisfaction. No receipt of monies by Landlord from Tenant after the giving of any notice, the commencement of any suit, the issuance of any final judgment, or the termination hereof shall affect such notice, suit or judgment, or reinstate or extend the Term or Tenant’s right of possession hereunder.
13 CONDEMNATION. If any part of the Premises, Building or Property is taken for any public of quasi-public use by power of eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”) for more than 180 consecutive days, Landlord may terminate this Lease. If more than 15% of the rentable square footage of the Premises is Taken, or access to or parking for the Premises is substantially impaired as a result of a Taking, for more than 180 consecutive days. Tenant may terminate this Lease. Any such termination shall be effective as of the date possession must be surrendered to the authority, and the terminating party shall provide termination notice to the other party within 45 days after receiving written notice of such surrender date. Except as provided above in this Section 13, neither party may terminate this Lease as a result of a Taking. Tenant shall not assert any claim for compensation because of any Taking; provided, however, that Tenant may file a separate claim for (a) any Taking of Tenant’s personal property of any fixtures that Tenant is entitled to remove upon the expiration hereof, (b) moving and relocation expenses, and (c) the unamortized portion of the lesser of (i) any amount paid by Tenant, without reimbursement by Landlord, for the construction of any then-existing Tenant-Insured Improvements that were installed pursuant hereto and taken in such Taking, or (ii) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the amount described in the preceding clause (c)(i), by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the value of such Tenant-Insured Improvements, as determined in accordance with applicable Law, and the denominator of which is the total amount paid by Tenant and Landlord for such Tenant-Insured Improvements, so long as such claim does not diminish the award available to Landlord or any Security Holder (except to the extent of the amount described in the preceding clause (c)) and is payable separately to Tenant. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the amortization of any amount paid for Tenant-Insured Improvements shall be computed over the period commencing upon the substantial completion of such Tenant-Insured Improvements and expiring at the end of the initial Term (or, if such Tenant-Insured Improvements are installed during an extension Term, at the end of such extension Term). If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 13, all Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. If a Taking occurs and this Lease is not so terminated, Monthly Rent shall be abated for the period of such Taking in proportion to the percentage of the rentable square footage of the Premises, if any, that is subject to, or rendered inaccessible by, such Taking.

Any Transfer made without Landlord’s prior consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be void. Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee of $1,500.00 for Landlord’s review of any proposed Transfer, whether or not Landlord consents to it.
14.2 Landlord’s Consent. Subject to Section 14.4. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer. Without limiting other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a proposed Transfer if:

Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (a) if Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to this Section 14.2 but Tenant does not enter into such Transfer within six (6) months thereafter, such consent shall no longer apply and such Transfer shall not be permitted unless Tenant again obtains Landlord’s consent thereto pursuant and subject to the terms of this Section 14; and (b) if Landlord unreasonably withholds its consent under this Section 14.2, Tenant’s sole remedies shall be contract damages (subject to Section 20) or specific performance, and Tenant waives all other remedies, including any right to terminate this Lease.
14.3 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section 14.8) or a Change of Control), Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to 50% of any Transfer Premium (defined below). As used herein, “Transfer Premium” means (a) in the case of an assignment, any consideration (including payment for Leasehold Improvements, but excluding any fair market value payment for personal property) paid by the assignee for such assignment, less any reasonable and customary expenses directly incurred by Tenant on account of such assignment, including brokerage fees, legal fees, and Landlord’s review fee; and (b) in the case of a sublease, license or other occupancy agreement, for each month of the term of such agreement, the amount by which all rent and other consideration paid by the transferee to Tenant pursuant to such agreement (less all reasonable and customary expenses directly incurred by Tenant on account of such agreement, including brokerage fees, legal fees, construction costs and Landlord’s review fee) exceeds the Monthly Rent payable by Tenant hereunder with respect to the Contemplated Transfer Space. Payment of Landlord’s share of the Transfer Premium shall be made (x) in the case of an assignment, within 10 days after Tenant receives the consideration described above, and (y) in the case of a sublease, license or other occupancy agreement, for each month of the term of such agreement. within five (5) business days after Tenant receives the rent and other consideration described above.

In the case of an assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing, for Landlord’s benefit, all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. No Transfer, with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor hereof from any liability hereunder. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, Tenant, with or without Landlord’s consent, shall not enter into, or permit any party claiming by, through or under Tenant to enter into, any sublease, license or other occupancy agreement that provides for payment based in whole or in part on the net income or profit of the subtenant, licensee or other occupant thereunder.

(Landlord acknowledges that, by operation of the definitions of “Transfer,” “Change of Control” and “Controlling Interest,” no stock of Tenant listed on a recognized securities exchange shall be deemed a Controlling Interest, and, therefore, no issuance of Tenant’s stock in an offering or sale on a recognized securities exchange shall be deemed a Change of Control or a Transfer.)
14.7 Effect of Default. If Tenant is in Default (defined in Section 19.1), Landlord is irrevocably authorized, as Tenant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to direct any transferee under any sublease, license or other occupancy agreement to make all payments under such agreement directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations hereunder) until such Default is cured. Such transferee shall rely upon any representation by Landlord that Tenant is in Default, whether or not confirmed by Tenant.

19 DEFAULTS; REMEDIES.
19.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a “Default”:
19.1.1 Any failure by Tenant to pay any Rent when due unless such failure is cured within five (5) business days after notice from Landlord of such failure; or
19.1.2 Except where a specific time period is otherwise set forth for Tenant’s cure herein (in which event Tenant’s failure to cure within such time period shall be a Default), and except as otherwise provided in this Section 19.1, any breach by Tenant of any other provision hereof where such breach continues for 30 days after notice from Landlord; provided that if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, Tenant shall not be in Default as a result of such breach if Tenant diligently commences such cure within such period, thereafter diligently pursues such cure, and completes such cure within 60 days after Landlord’s notice; or
19.1.3 Abandonment of the Premises by Tenant; or
19.1.4 Any breach by Tenant of Sections 5, 14, 17, 18 or 25.3 where such breach continues for more than five (5) business days after notice from Landlord.

To the extent the notice periods provided herein satisfy any notice periods provided by Law, Landlord shall not be required to give any additional notice in order to be entitled to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding.
19.2 Remedies Upon Default. Upon any Default, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive) without any notice or demand.
19.2.1 Landlord may terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy it may have for possession or arrearages in Rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof; without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor, and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:
(a) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus
(b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves
could have been reasonably avoided; plus
(d) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including (but only to the extent reasonably attributable to the remaining Term) brokerage commissions, advertising expenses, expenses of remodeling any portion of the Premises for a new tenant (whether for the same or a different use), and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; plus
(e) At Landlord’s option, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by Law.
As used in Sections 19.2.1(a) and (b), the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the annual “Bank Prime Loan” rate cited in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release Publication G.13(415), published on the first Tuesday of each calendar month (or such other comparable index as Landlord shall reasonably designate if such rate ceases to be published) plus two (2) percentage points, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by Law. As used in Section 19.2.1(c), the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus 1%.

19.3 Efforts to Relet. Unless Landlord provides Tenant with express notice to the contrary, no re-entry, repossession, repair, maintenance, change, alteration, addition, reletting, appointment of a receiver or other action or omission by Landlord shall (a) be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, or (b) operate to release Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder. Tenant waives, for Tenant and for all those claiming by, through or under Tenant, California Civil Code § 3275 and California Code of Civil procedure §§ 1174(c) and 1179 and any existing or future rights to redeem or reinstate, by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, this Lease or Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination hereof.

19.4.2 If Landlord becomes in default hereunder (as provided in Section 19.4.1) as a result of any breach by Landlord of its obligations under Section 7.1.2.A to keep in good condition and repair the roof of the Building, the exterior walls and windows of the Building, or any system of the Building for which Landlord is responsible under Section 7.1.2.A, and if such default materially and adversely affects the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises, then Tenant may thereafter provide Landlord with a notice (in addition to those required under Section 19.4.1 in order for Landlord to become in default) stating that if Landlord does not perform such obligation then Tenant will exercise its right to do so under this Section 19.4.2, and if Landlord does not commence performance of such obligation within 10 business days after such notice and thereafter diligently pursue such performance until completion, Tenant may perform such obligation.

20 LANDLORD EXCULPATION. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (a) the liability of the Landlord Parties to Tenant shall be limited to an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the value of Landlord’s interest in the Building, or (ii) the value of the equity interest Landlord would have in the Building if the Building were encumbered by third-party debt in an amount equal to 80% of the value of the Building (as such value is determined by Landlord); (b) Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Building for the recovery of any judgment of award against any Landlord Party; (c) no Landlord Party shall have any personal liability for any judgment or deficiency, and Tenant waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all parties claiming by, through or under Tenant; and (d) no Landlord Parry shall be liable for any injury or damage to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including loss of profits, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, or for any form of special or consequential damage.

Tenant shall comply with all reasonable rules and regulations established by Landlord from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the Parking Facility, including any reasonable sticker or other identification system and the prohibition of vehicle repair and maintenance activities in the Parking Facility. Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, allocate and assign parking passes among Tenant and the other tenants in the Building provided that such allocation and assignment does not materially increase Tenant’s obligations or materially reduce Tenant’s rights hereunder. Tenant’s use of the Parking Facility shall be at Tenant’s sole risk, and Landlord shall have no duty to prevent any third party from causing any damage to or theft of any vehicles or other property occurring in the Parking Facility or otherwise in connection with any use of the Parking Facility by Tenant or its employees or invitees. Landlord may alter the size, configuration, design, layout or any other aspect of the Parking Facility without abatement of Rent or liability to Tenant provided that such alteration does not materially impair Tenant’s rights under this Section 24.

responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator, in which case (i) such parking operator shall have all the right, of control reserved herein by Landlord, (ii) Tenant shall enter into a commercially reasonable parking agreement with such parking operator on substantially the same terms and conditions as those set forth herein with respect to the parking spaces, (iii) Tenant shall pay such parking operator, rather than Landlord, any amounts required to be paid hereunder with respect to the parking spaces, and (iv) Landlord shall have no liability for claims arising through acts or omissions of such parking operator except to the extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct.

25.10 Interpretation. As used herein, the capitalized term “Section” refers to a section hereof unless otherwise specifically provided herein. As used in this Lease the terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Lease and the term “include” and its derivatives are not limiting. Any reference herein to “any part” or “any portion” of the Premises, the Property or any other property shall be construed to refer to all or any part of such property. Wherever this Lease requires Tenant to comply with any Law, rule, regulation, procedure or other requirement or prohibits Tenant from engaging in any particular conduct this Lease shall be deemed also to require Tenant to cause each of its employees, licensees, invitees and subtenants, and any other party claiming by, through or under
Tenant, to comply with such requirement or refrain from engaging in such conduct, as the case may be. Wherever this Lease requires Landlord to provide a customary service or to act in a reasonable manner (whether in incurring an expense, establishing a rule or regulation, providing an approval or consent, or performing any other act), this Lease shall be deemed also to provide that whether such service is customary or such conduct is reasonable shall be determined by reference to the practices of owners of buildings that (i) are comparable to the Building in size, age, class, quality and location, and (ii) at Landlord’s option, have been, or are being prepared to be, certified under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system or a similar rating system (“Comparable Buildings”) Tenant waives the benefit of any rule that a written agreement shall be construed against the drafting party. Whenever this Lease requires all approval, consent, selection or judgment by either Landlord or Tenant, unless another standard (such as “good faith”) is expressly set forth, such approval, consent, selection or judgment shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. For purposes hereof, (a) a matter (such as the application or violation of a Law) shall be deemed to result from a particular use (as distinguished from general office/R&D use) of the Premises if and only if such matter results from such use and a different office/R&D use could be made of the Premises without resulting in such matter; and (b) a matter (such as compliance with a Law) shall be deemed to be required for a particular use (as distinguished from general office/R&D use) of the Premises if and only if such matter is required for such use and a different office/R&D use could be made of the Premises without requiring such matter. For purposes hereof, a portion of the Premises shall be deemed to be untenantable during any period in which it cannot be used for any office/R&D use and is not used by Tenant other than to store Tenant’s property.
25.11 Entire Agreement. This Lease sets forth the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any previous agreements (none of which shall be used to interpret this Lease). Tenant acknowledges that in entering into this Lease it has not relied upon any representation, warranty or statement, whether oral or written, not expressly set forth herein. This Lease can be modified only by a written agreement signed by both parties.
25.12 Other. Landlord, at its option, may cure any Default, without waiving any right or remedy or releasing Tenant from any obligation, in which event Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, the cost of such cure. If any provision hereof is void or unenforceable, no other provision shall be affected. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute an option or offer to lease, and this instrument is not binding until it has been executed and delivered by both parties. If Tenant is comprised of two or more parties, their obligations shall be joint and several. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision hereof in which time of performance is a factor. So long as Tenant performs its obligations hereunder, Tenant shall have peaceful and quiet possession of the Premises against any party claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject to the terms hereof. Landlord may transfer its interest herein, in which event Landlord shall be released from, and Tenant shall look solely to the transferee for the performance of, all of Landlord’s obligations arising hereunder after the date of such transfer (including the return of any Security Deposit), but only to the extent the transferee has assumed such obligations (whether by agreement or by operation of Law), and Tenant shall attorn to the transferee. If Tenant (or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant) pays directly to the provider for any energy consumed at the Property, Tenant, promptly upon request, shall deliver to Landlord (or, at Landlord’s option, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument enabling Landlord to obtain from such provider) any data about such consumption that Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, is required to disclose to a prospective buyer, tenant or Security Holder under California Public Resources Code § 25402.10 or any similar Law. Landlord reserves all rights not expressly granted to Tenant hereunder, including the right to make alterations to the Project. No rights to any view of to light or air over any property are granted to Tenant hereunder. Landlord reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant such easements, rights and dedications that Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and to cause the recordation of Parcel Maps and conditions, covenants and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights, dedications. Parcel Maps and conditions, covenants and restrictions do not (a) unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, the Common Area or the Parking Facility, including access thereto, or (b) materially increase Tenant’s obligations or materially reduce Tenant’s rights hereunder. Upon 10 days prior written request, Tenant shall sign any such documents, and take such other actions, which are reasonably necessary or appropriate to accomplish such granting, recordation and subordination of this Lease to same. The expiration or termination hereof shall not relieve either party of any obligation that accrued before, or continues to accrue after, such expiration or termination.
25.13 Athletic Facility. Subject to the provisions of this Section 25.13, Landlord shall provide Tenant with the Applicable Number (defined below) of memberships to the athletic facility located at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx (the “Athletic Facility “). Such memberships shall be for the non-exclusive use of the Athletic Facility by Tenant’s employees during the Term. Such memberships shall be provided at no additional periodic charge beyond that required under Sections 1.5 and 3, provided, however that subject to the terms of such memberships, additional charges for particular services or privileges may apply. Any Tenant employee electing to use one of the memberships and the Athletic Facility first shall execute and deliver to Landlord (or the owner or operator of such Athletic Facility) Landlord’s (or such owner’s or operator’s) then-standard form of license or other agreement
governing such use. The use of the Athletic Facility shall be subject to the reasonable rules and regulations (including rules regarding hours of use) established from time to time by Landlord (or the owner or operator of such Athletic Facility). Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from any Claim that is imposed or asserted by any third party and arises from (a) any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant’s employee(s) in connection with the use of the Athletic Facility, or (b) any breach by Tenant’s employee(s) of any representation, covenant or other term contained in the license or other agreement governing such employee’s use of the Athletic Facility. The costs of operating, maintaining and repairing the Athletic Facility shall be included as part of Expenses, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4. For purposes of this Section 25.13, “Applicable Number” means the largest whole number not exceeding the number obtained by multiplying Tenant’s Project Share (defined below) by 6,400. As used herein, “Tenant’s Project Share” means the percentage obtained by dividing the rentable square footage of the Premises by the rentable square footage of the Project, as determined by Landlord from time to time. The parties acknowledge that, as of the date hereof, (a) the rentable square footage of the Project is 1,672,073 rentable square feet; and (b) Tenant’s Project Share is 6.3361%.

Landlord shall have no liability for claims arising from acts or omissions of the Association nor, to the extent Landlord is no longer the Declarant nor the Manager, for the acts or omissions of any such parties. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of Rent, as a result of a person or entity exercising its rights under the Project Declaration. Tenant shall not breach, nor cause Landlord to be in breach of, the terms of the Project Declaration.

1.2.2.1 Monthly Disbursements. Not more frequently than once per calendar month. Tenant may deliver to Landlord: (i) a request for payment of Tenant’s contractor, approved by Tenant, in AIA G-702/G-703 format or another format reasonably requested by Landlord, showing the schedule of values, by trade, of percentage of completion of the Initial Alteration Work, detailing the portion of the work completed and the portion not completed (which approved request shall be deemed Tenant’s approval and acceptance of the work and materials described therein); (ii) copies of all third-party contracts (including change orders) pursuant to which the Initial Alteration Work has been performed. including paid invoices from all parties providing labor or materials to the Premises (collectively, the “Construction Contracts”); (iii) executed conditional mechanic’s lien releases from all parties providing labor or materials to the Premises (along with unconditional mechanic’s lien releases for any prior payments made pursuant to the paragraph) satisfying California Civil Code §§ 8132 and/or 8134, as applicable; and (iv) all other information reasonably requested by Landlord. Within 30 days after receiving such materials, Landlord shall deliver a check to Tenant, payable jointly to Tenant and its contractor, in the amount of the lesser of (a) Landlord’s Share (defined below) of the amount requested by Tenant pursuant to the preceding sentence, less a 10% retention (the aggregate amount of such retentions shall be referred to in this Work Letter as the “Final Retention”), or (b) the amount of any remaining portion of the Allowance (not including the Final Retention). Landlord’s payment of such amounts shall not be deemed Landlord’s approval or acceptance of the work or materials described in Tenant’s payment request. As used in this Section 1.2.2.1. “Landlord’s Share” means the lesser of (i) 100%, or (ii) the percentage obtained by dividing the Allowance by the estimated sum of all TI Allowance Items, as determined based on the Construction Contracts.
1.2.2.2 Final Retention. Subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a check for the Final Retention, together with any other undisbursed portion of the Allowance required to pay for the TI Allowance Items, within 30 days after the latest of (a) the completion of the Initial Alteration Work in accordance with the approved plans and specifications; (b) Landlord’s receipt of (i) copies of all Construction Contracts; (ii) executed unconditional mechanic’s lien releases satisfying California Civil Code § 8138; (iii) a certificate from Tenant’s architect, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, certifying that the Initial Alteration Work has been substantially completed; (iv) evidence that all governmental approvals required for Tenant to legally occupy the Premises have been obtained, and (v) any other information reasonably requested by Landlord; (c) Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of “as built” drawings (in CAD format, if requested by Landlord); or (d) Tenant’s compliance with Landlord’s standard “close-out” requirements regarding city approvals, closeout tasks, Tenant’s contractor, financial close-out matters, and Tenant’s vendors.

1.3 Disbursement for Other Allowance Items. If any portion of the Allowance remains after the TI Allowance Items have been fully paid for, then, subject to the last sentence of Section 1.1 above, Landlord, upon Tenant’s request, shall disburse such portion of the Allowance, not to exceed $211,550.58 (i.e., $2.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises), to Tenant, to be applied toward the reasonable costs of purchasing and installing in the Premises Tenant’s Lines, furniture, equipment, fixtures and/or other personal property (collectively “Other Allowance Items”), within 30 days after receiving paid invoices from Tenant with respect to such costs.
1.4 Space Planning Allowance. In addition to providing the Allowance, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant an amount not to exceed $10,000.00 (the “Space Planning Allowance”) toward the cost of Tenant’s preparation of test-fits for the Premises. The Space Planning Allowance shall be paid to Tenant within 30 days following Landlord’s receipt of paid invoices for the test-fit costs incurred and a copy of full and final waivers of lien from the space planner and/or consultants retained by Tenant. If Tenant does not submit a request for payment of the entire Space Planning Allowance by June 30, 2015, any unused amount shall accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord, it being understood that Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, abatement or other concession in connection therewith.
1.5 Landlord Costs. If the reasonable cost of the Initial Alteration Work is increased by reason of any Landlord Condition (defined below) and not by reason of any Act of Tenant, then the Allowance shall be increased by an amount equal to such cost increase. As used herein, “Landlord Condition” means (a) the existence in the Premises on the Delivery Date of (i) asbestos-containing materials, or (ii) Hazardous Materials in amounts or conditions that violate applicable Laws, or (b) any failure, on the Delivery Date, of the configuration or condition of the Base Building or the Common Areas of the Building or the Project to comply with the ADA or any other applicable Law, other than any such failure resulting from any particular use of the Premises (as distinguished from general office/R&D use).
1.6 Failure to Disburse. If Landlord fails to disburse any portion of the Allowance when due hereunder and such failure continues for 30 days after Tenant’s demand therefor (which demand shall reference, and quote verbatim in its entirety, this Section 1.6). Tenant may deduct such portion of the Allowance from the next due installment of Rent and each subsequent installment of Rent until Tenant is fully reimbursed for such portion of the Allowance.

JUDICIAL REFERENCE
IF THE JURY-WAIVER PROVISIONS OF SECTION 25.8 OF THIS LEASE ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, THE PROVISIONS SET FORTH BELOW SHALL APPLY.
It is the desire and intention of the parties to agree upon a mechanism and procedure under which controversies and disputes arising out of this Lease or related to the Premises will be resolved in a prompt and expeditious manner. Accordingly, except with respect to actions for unlawful or forcible detainer or with respect to the prejudgment remedy of attachment, any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either party hereto against the other (and/or against its officers, directors, employees, agents or subsidiaries or affiliated entities) on any matters arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises and/or any claim of injury or damage, whether sounding in contract, fort, or otherwise, shall be heard and resolved by a referee under the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Sections 638 — 645.1, inclusive (as same may be amended, or any successor statute(s) thereto) (the “Referee Sections”). Any fee to initiate the judicial reference proceedings and all fees charged and costs incurred by the referee shall be paid by the party initiating such procedure (except that if a reporter is requested by either party, then a reporter shall be present at all proceedings where requested and the fees of such reporter — except for copies ordered by the other parties — shall be borne by the party requesting the reporter); provided however, that allocation of the costs and fees, including any initiation fee, of such proceeding shall be ultimately determined in accordance with Section 25.6 of this Lease. The venue of the proceedings shall be in the county in which the Premises are located. Within 10 days of receipt by any party of a request to resolve any dispute or controversy pursuant to this Exhibit E, the parties shall agree upon a single referee who shall try all issues, whether of fact or law, and report a finding and judgment on such issues as required by the Referee Sections. If the parties are unable to agree upon a referee within such 10-day period, then any party may thereafter file a lawsuit in the county in which the Premises are located for the purpose of appointment of a referee under the Referee Sections. If the referee is appointed by the court, the referee shall be a neutral and impartial retired judge with substantial experience in the relevant matters to be determined, from Jams/Endispute, Inc., ADR Services, Inc. or a similar mediation/arbitration entity approved by each party in its sole and absolute discretion. The proposed referee may be challenged by any party for any of the grounds listed in the Referee Sections. The referee shall have the power to decide all issues of fact and law and report his or her decision on such issues, and to issue all recognized remedies available at law or in equity for any cause of action that is before the referee, including an award of attorneys’ fees and costs in accordance with this Lease. The referee shall not, however, have the power to award punitive damages, nor any other damages that are not permitted by the express provisions of this Lease, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages. The parties may conduct all discovery as provided in the California Code of Civil Procedure, and the referee shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery orders in the same manner as any trial court judge, with rights to regulate discovery and to issue and enforce subpoenas, protective orders and other limitations on discovery available under California Law. The reference proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with California Law (including the rules of evidence), and in all regards, the referee shall follow California Law applicable at the time of the reference proceeding. The parties shall promptly and diligently cooperate with one another and the referee, and shall perform such acts as may be necessary to obtain a prompt and expeditious resolution of the dispute or controversy in accordance with the terms of this Exhibit E. In this regard, the parties agree that the parties and the referee shall use best efforts to ensure that (a) discovery be conducted for a period no longer than six (6) months from the date the referee is appointed, excluding motions regarding discovery, and (b) a trial date be set within 9 months of the date the referee is appointed. In accordance with Section 644 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, the decision of the referee upon the whole issue must stand as the decision of the court, and upon the filing of the statement of decision with the clerk of the court, or with the judge if there is no clerk, judgment may be entered thereon in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the court. Any decision of the referee and/or judgment or other order entered thereon shall be appealable to the same extent and in the same manner that such decision, judgment, or order would be appealable if rendered by a judge of the superior court in which venue is proper hereunder. The referee shall in his/her statement of decision set forth his/her findings of fact and conclusions of law. The parties intend this general reference agreement to be specifically enforceable in accordance with the Code of Civil Procedure. Nothing in this Exhibit E shall prejudice the right of any party to obtain provisional relief or other equitable remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction as shall otherwise be available under the Code of Civil Procedure and/or applicable court rules.

NOTICE TO TENANTS AND TRANSFEREES OF
CURRENT OR FUTURE USES OF ADJACENT PORT PROPERTY
Notice is hereby given to all lessees, tenants and transferees of land or interests in land located within the project commonly referred to as the “Pacific Shores Center” of the presence or potential future presence of Port (defined below) related industrial activities on the Port Parcel (defined below). All recipients of this notice should be aware of the following facts:
1. The parcel of Port property adjacent to Pacific Shores Center to the northwest (as more particularly shown on the Exhibit G-1 attached hereto, the “Port Parcel”) is now or may be developed for port related maritime and industrial uses similar to those occupying other properties along the west side of Seaport Boulevard and to the west of Pacific Shores Center.
2. Such Port related maritime and industrial activities are those which are permitted by the general industrial zoning of the City of Redwood City and may include heavy industrial land uses, including uses which involve the receipt, transport, storage or management of hazardous wastes, aggregates, cement, gravel and similar materials, including the outdoor storage and handling of such materials.
3. Pacific Shores Center Limited Partnership, on behalf of itself, its successors and assigns, has recognized, accepted and approved such uses of the Port Parcel subject to the utilization of Best Available Management Practices (defined on Exhibit G-2 hereof) in the development and use of the Port Parcel, Capitalized terms used but not defined in Exhibit G-2 hereof shall have meaning(s) given to such term(s) in that certain Agreement of Covenants Running With The Land dated March 27, 1988, between the City of Redwood City, a municipal corporation, acting by and through its Board of Port Commissioners (“Port”) and Pacific Shores Center Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, recorded March 27, 1998 as Instrument No. 98-042844 in the Official Records of San Mateo County.
4. Despite the use of Best Available Management Practices on the Port Parcel by the Port and its lessees and licensees and despite Pacific Shores Center Limited Partnership’s efforts (and the efforts of its successors and assigns) to ensure compatibility between such uses and those in Pacific Shores Center, it is possible that such uses will cause emissions into the air of dust or other particulate matter, or noise or odorous substances which may be offensive to or be perceived as a nuisance by occupants of Pacific Shores Center.
5. Pursuant to covenants made by Pacific Shores Center Limited Partnership on behalf of its successors and assigns, tenants and lessees, the tenants, lessees and transferees of Pacific Shores Center Limited Partnership have approved and accepted such neighboring uses subject to their utilization of Best Available Management Practices.
6. Any actions to enjoin the continuation of such uses or to recover any damages to persons or property related to their operations are subject to a requirement for prior notice found in recorded covenants by Pacific Shores Center Limited Partnership. The following language is excerpted from such covenants:
“In the event that either party hereto believes that the other has failed to perform any covenant made herein in favor of the other, at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of any action to enforce the covenants hereunder or to recover damages for the breach thereof, that party who believes that a failure to perform has occurred (the ‘Complaining Party’) shall give written notice (the ‘Notice’) to the party alleged not to have performed the covenant (the ‘Non-Complaining Party’) of the specific nature of the alleged failure and of the intent of the Complaining Party to take action to remedy the breach by the Non-Complaining Party. In the event that the nature of the alleged failure to perform is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within ten (10) days after receipt of the Notice (the ‘Notice Period’), the Non-Complaining Party shall not be deemed to be in violation of its covenants and no action shall be commenced by the Complaining Party if, within the Notice Period, the Non-Complaining Party commences such cure and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecutes the same to completion within a reasonable time, Provided, however, that the Complaining Party shall not be precluded from recovering any actual damages suffered by reason of the alleged failure to
perform prior to or after delivery of the Notice, whether or not such failure is thereafter cured”
