The “Term” of this Lease shall be for a period of Four (4) Years (unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided) and, subject to Paragraphs 2.B and 2.2, shall commence on the 1^st of November, 2007 (the “Commencement Date”) and end on the 31^st day of October 2011 (the “Termination Date”).

B. Tender of Possession. Subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, if Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of said Premises to

Tenant at the scheduled Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable; no obligation of Tenant shall be affected thereby; nor shall Landlord or Landlord’s agents be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom; but in that event the commencement and termination dates of the Lease, and all other dates affected thereby shall be revised to conform to the date of Landlord’s delivery of possession. The above is, however, subject to the provision that the period of delay of delivery of the Premises shall not exceed 30 days from the latter of (i) the scheduled Commencement Date or (ii) the date this Lease is executed by all parties hereto (except those delays caused by Tenant, Acts of God, strikes, war, utilities, governmental bodies, weather, unavailable materials, and delays beyond Landlord’s control (“Force Majeure Delays”) shall be excluded in calculating such period) in which instance Tenant, at its option, may, by written notice to Landlord, terminate this Lease; provided Tenant submits said notice to Landlord prior to the expiration of said 60 day period as extended by Force Majeure Delays.

Possession of the premises shall be deemed tendered and the term of the lease shall commence when the first of the following shall occur:

(a) One day after a temporary Certificate of Occupancy or other Building signoff is granted by the proper governmental agency, or, if the governmental agency having jurisdiction over the area in which the Premises are situated does not issue certificates of occupancy, then the same number of days after certification by Landlord’s architect or contractor that Landlord’s construction work has been completed; or

This

right shall also be provided to any assignee in connection with a Permitted Transfer.

3. Rent.

3.1 Basic Rent. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as Basic Rent for the Premises, the Monthly Basic Rent in the amounts designated in Section 1.9 of the Summary. The Monthly Basic Rent shall be paid by Tenant in monthly installments in the amounts designated in Section 1.9 of the Summary in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term, without demand, notice, deduction or offset except that the first full month’s Monthly Basic Rent shall be paid upon Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord. Monthly Basic Rent for any partial month shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect during such month bears to the actual number of days in such month.

In the event that the Term of this Lease commences on a date other than the first day of a calendar month, on the date of commencement of the Term hereof Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Rent for the period from such date of commencement to the first day of the next succeeding calendar month that proportion of the monthly Rent hereunder for the number of days between such date of commencement and the first day of the next succeeding calendar month. In the event that the Term of this Lease for any reason ends on a date other than the last day of a calendar month, on the first day of the last calendar month of the Term hereof Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Rent for the period from said first day of said last calendar month to and including the last day of the Term hereof that proportion of the monthly Rent hereunder for the number of days between said first day of said last calendar month and the last day of the Term hereof.

(b) Place of Payment of Rent. All Rent hereunder shall be paid to Landlord at the office of Landlord at: 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx Xxxx, XX 00000, or to such other person or to such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

(c) Late Charges. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, if Tenant does not pay to Landlord any payment of Rent as set forth in this Paragraph 3 when due, or any part thereof, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, in addition to the delinquent Rent due, a late charge for each Rent payment not received by Landlord within ten (10) days of the due date (“Late Charge”). Said Late Charge shall equal ten percent (10%) of each Rent payment not received by Landlord within such ten (10) day period. Said Late Charge shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after presentation of an invoice from Landlord or Landlord’s agent setting forth the amount of said Late Charge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord’s failure to issue a Late Charge invoice in the month of any late payment shall not be considered a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect said Late Charge.

(d) Personal Property of Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that the Furniture within the Premises (as detailed on Exhibit C attached hereto) (“Furniture”), is the personal property of Landlord and is being leased hereunder by Tenant (hereinafter referred to as “Personal Property of Landlord”) free of additional rent. Tenant agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to maintain, repair and replace the Personal Property of Landlord as needed, normal wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall not replace, remove, or encumber in any way, any of the Personal Property of Landlord without Landlord’s prior written consent. If Tenant no longer wishes to use the Personal Property of Landlord, then Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, remove Personal Property of Landlord from the Premises within 10 days of Tenant’s written request.

3.2 Additional Rent. All amounts and charges payable by Tenant under this Lease in addition to the Monthly Basic Rent described in Section 3.1 above (including, without limitation, payments for insurance, repairs and parking, and Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expense Increase above the Base Year Expense, which include but not limited to, Real Property Taxes and Assessments, Insurance Costs, Utilities Costs, maintenance, repairs and parking respectively) shall be considered additional rent for the purposes of this Lease, and the word “rent” in this Lease shall include such additional rent unless the context specifically or clearly implies that only the Monthly Basic Rent is referenced. Tenant shall pay for its own janitorial service. The Monthly Basic Rent and additional rent shall be paid to Landlord as provided in Section 7, without any prior demand therefore and without any deduction or offset whatever, in lawful money of the United States of America.

3.3 Monthly Basic Rent During Option Period. In the event that Tenant shall timely and properly exercise its option to extend the term of this Lease, the Monthly Basic Rent for the Option Period shall be determined as follows:

(a) Monthly Basic Rent During Option Period. During the initial twelve (12) months of the Option Period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Monthly Basic Rent in an amount equal to the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises for such period, but in no event less than the Monthly Basic Rent payable by Tenant during the period immediately prior to the Option Period (the “Initial Option Year Monthly Basic Rent”). The Initial Option Year Monthly Basic

Rent shall be determined by Landlord according to its reasonable determination of fair market rents. During the succeeding Option Year of 12 months of the option Period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Adjusted Monthly Basic Rent in the amount determined by Landlord to be the Option Year rental rate. Should Tenant disagree with Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent, Landlord and Tenant may jointly choose a 3^rd party, who will determine fair market value, and whose decision will be binding upon all parties. In so such case will the rent be less than the rental rate paid by tenant during the preceding year of its Lease Term.

4. Common Areas; Operating Expenses; Real Property Taxes and Assessments; Insurance Costs and Utilities Costs.

If any such liens are filed, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, immediately cause such lien to be released of record or bonded to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction so that it no longer affects title to the Project, the Site, the Building or the Premises. If Tenant fails to cause such lien to be so released or bonded within twenty (20) days after filing thereof, Landlord may, without waiving its rights and remedies based on such breach, and without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations, cause such lien to be released by any means it shall deem proper, including payment in satisfaction of the claim giving rise to such lien. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within five (5) days after receipt of invoice from Landlord, any sum paid by Landlord to remove such liens, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of such payment by Landlord. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO TENANT, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING THE PREMISES THROUGH OR UNDER TENANT, AND THAT NO MECHANICS’ OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PREMISES.

14. Assignment and Subletting.

14.1 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 14, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent, provided Tenant is not in default under any of the terms or conditions of this Lease, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay, assign this Lease or any interest herein or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by any party other than Tenant (any such assignment, encumbrance, sublease, license or the like shall sometimes be referred to as a “Transfer”). In no event may Tenant encumber this Lease. Any Transfer without Landlord’s consent (except for a Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 14.2 below) shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease, and in addition to all of Landlord’s other remedies at law, in equity or under this Lease, such Transfer shall be voidable at Landlord’s election. In addition, this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest of Tenant herein, be assignable by operation of law without the written consent of Landlord. For purposes of this Section 14, other than with respect to a Permitted Transfer under Section 14.2 and transfers of stock of Tenant if Tenant is a publicly-held corporation and such stock is transferred publicly over a recognized security exchange or over-the-counter market, if Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other entity, any

transfer, assignment, encumbrance or hypothecation of fifty percent (50%) or more (individually or in the aggregate) of any stock or other ownership interest in such entity, and/or transfer, assignment, hypothecation or encumbrance of any controlling ownership or voting interest in such entity, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease and shall be subject to all of the restrictions and provisions contained in this Section 14.

14.2 Permitted Controlled Transfers. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 14.1 above to the contrary, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof (herein, a “Permitted Transfer”), without Landlord’s consent and without extending any sublease or termination option to Landlord, to an “Affiliate,” i.e., a parent or subsidiary of Tenant or the parent or subsidiary of any corporation which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation or other entity resulting from a merger, reorganization or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires all or at least 75% of all the assets or voting shares of Tenant’s business as a going concern, provided that: (i) Tenant shall not be in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease at the time of the assignment or sublease; (ii) at least 15 days prior to the effective date of such assignment or sublease, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the name of the Affiliate and a written certification from an officer of Tenant certifying (A) the manner in which the proposed assignee is affiliated with Tenant and (B) that the type of business conducted in the Premises and the density of personnel in the Premises will not materially change as a result of such assignment; (iii) if an assignment, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment the Net Worth of the Affiliate is substantially equal or greater to the Net Worth of Tenant on the date of this Lease, and proof satisfactory to Landlord of such Net Worth shall have been delivered to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the proposed assignment; (iv) if an assignment, the assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease (or if a sublease, the sublessee of a portion of the Premises or Term assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant with respect to such portion); (v) Tenant remains fully liable under this Lease and the Security Deposit remains in full force and effect; and (vi) the use of the Premises under Section 6 above remains unchanged.

14.3 Landlord’s Options. If at any time or from time to time during the Term Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice (“Transfer Notice”) setting forth the terms and provisions of the proposed Transfer and the identity of the proposed assignee, sublessee or other transferee (sometimes referred to hereinafter as a “Transferee”). Tenant shall also deliver to Landlord with the Transfer Notice, a current financial statement and financial statements for the preceding two (2) years of the Transferee which have been certified by Transferee, or, if available, certified by an independent accounting firm and such other information concerning the business background and financial condition of the proposed Transferee as Landlord may reasonably request. Except with respect to a Permitted Transfer, Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Transfer Notice, such financial statements and other information, either to:

(a) approve or disapprove such Transfer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; or

(b) sublet from Tenant that portion of the Premises which Tenant has requested to sublease at the rental and on the other terms set forth in this Lease prorated for the portion of the Premises to be sublet and for the term set forth in Tenant’s Notice, or, in the case of an assignment or encumbrance, terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Premises and recapture the Premises, which termination shall be effective thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice.

If Landlord exercises its option to sublease any such space from Tenant following Tenant’s request for Landlord’s approval of the proposed sublease of such space, (i) Landlord shall be responsible for the construction of any partitions which Landlord reasonably deems necessary to separate such space from the remainder of the Premises, and (ii) Landlord and any sub-subtenant or assignee of Landlord with respect to such subleased space shall have the right to use in common with Tenant all lavatories, corridors and lobbies which are within the Premises and which are reasonably required for the use of such space.

14.4 Additional Conditions; Excess Rent. If for a Transfer other than a Permitted Transfer Landlord does not exercise its sublease or termination option and instead approves of the proposed Transfer pursuant to Section 14.3(a) above, Tenant may enter into the proposed Transfer with such proposed Transferee subject to the following further conditions:

(a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, monthly throughout the term of each approved sublease, 50% of rents and/or additional consideration due Tenant from the subtenant in excess of the sum of (a) Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder for each such subleased space and (b) all costs incurred as part of the subleasing or assigning including brokerage fees, attorney fees and any tenant improvements Tenant is required to make.

(b) no Transfer shall be valid and no Transferee shall take possession of the Premises until an executed counterpart of the assignment, sublease or other instrument affecting the Transfer has been delivered to Landlord pursuant to which the Transferee shall expressly assume all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (or with respect to a sublease of a portion of the Premises or for a portion of the Term, all of Tenant’s obligations applicable to such portion);

(c) No Transferee shall have a further right to assign, encumber or sublet, except on the terms herein contained; and all rent or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of such Transfer which exceeds, in the aggregate, (i) the total rent which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the Premises subleased), plus (ii) any reasonable brokerage commissions, reasonable attorney fees, advertising costs not included in the brokerage commissions and tenant improvement allowances actually paid by Tenant in connection with such Transfer amortized on a straight use basis over the term of the assignment or sublease, shall be paid to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt thereof as additional rental under this Lease, without affecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant hereunder.

14.5 Reasonable Disapproval. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that Landlord’s disapproval of any proposed Transfer pursuant to Section 14.3(a) shall be deemed reasonably withheld if based upon any reasonable factor, including, without limitation, any or all of the following factors: (a) the proposed Transfer would result in more than two subleases of

portions of the Premises being in effect at any one time during the Term; (b) the proposed Transferee is an existing tenant of the Project or is negotiating with Landlord (or has negotiated with Landlord in the last six (6) months) for space in the Project and Landlord has space available to lease to prospective tenants; (c) the proposed Transferee is a governmental entity; (d) the portion of the Premises to be sublet or assigned is irregular in shape with inadequate means of ingress and egress; (e) the use of the Premises by the Transferee (i) is not permitted by the use provisions in Section 6 hereof, or (ii) violates any exclusive use granted by Landlord to another tenant in the Building; (f) the Transfer would likely result in significant increase in the use of the parking areas or Common Areas by the Transferee’s employees or visitors, and/or significantly increase the demand upon utilities and services to be provided by Landlord to the Premises; (g) the Transferee does not have the financial capability to fulfill the obligations imposed by the Transfer; or (h) the Transferee is not in Landlord’s reasonable opinion of reputable or good character or consistent with Landlord’s desired tenant mix.

14.6 No Release. No Transfer shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Landlord may require that any Transferee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due Tenant by said Transferee, and each sublease shall provide that if Landlord gives said subtenant written notice that Tenant is in default under this Lease, said subtenant will thereafter make all payments due under the sublease directly to or as directed by Landlord, which payments will be credited against any payments due under this Lease. Upon the execution of a sublease, Tenant irrevocably and unconditionally assigns to Landlord all rents and other sums payable under such sublease of the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord hereby grants Tenant a license to collect all such rents and other sums so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after the execution and delivery of any assignment or sublease, deliver a duplicate original or otherwise genuine copy there of to Landlord. However, the acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof. Consent by Landlord to one Transfer shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of default by any Transferee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such Transferee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments of the Lease or sublettings or amendments or modifications to the Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and any such actions shall not relieve Tenant of liability under this Lease.

14.7 Administrative and Attorneys’ Fees. Except for a Permitted Transfer, if Tenant effects a Transfer or requests the consent of Landlord to any Transfer, then Tenant shall, upon demand, pay Landlord a non-refundable administrative fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), plus any reasonable attorneys’ and paralegal fees and costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such Transfer or request for consent (whether attributable to Landlord’s in-house attorneys or paralegals or otherwise), which exceeds Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00). Acceptance of the $500.00 administrative fee and/or reimbursement of Landlord’s attorneys’ and paralegal fees shall in no event obligate Landlord to consent to any proposed Transfer.

14.8 Material Inducement. Tenant understands, acknowledges and agrees that (a) Landlord’s option to sublease from Tenant any space which Tenant proposes to sublease or

terminate this Lease upon any proposed assignment or encumbrance of this Lease by Tenant as provided in Section 14.3(b) above rather than approve the proposed sublease, assignment or encumbrance, and (b) Landlord’s right to receive any excess consideration paid by a Transferee in connection with an approved Transfer as provided in Section 14.4(d) above, are a material inducement for Landlord’s agreement to lease the Premises to Tenant upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.

15. Entry by Landlord.

Landlord and its employees and agents shall at all reasonable times have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to supply any service required to be provided by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, to exhibit the Premises to prospective lenders or purchasers (or during the last year of the Term, to prospective tenants), to post notices of non-responsibility, and/or to alter, improve or repair the Premises or any other portion of the Building or Project, all without being deemed guilty of or liable for any breach of Landlord’s covenant of quiet enjoyment or any eviction of Tenant, and without abatement of rent; provided Landlord complies with its obligations hereunder. In exercising such entry rights, Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of Tenant’s business and shall provide Tenant with reasonable advance written notice of such entry (except in emergency situations and for scheduled services). For each of the foregoing purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises. Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof, or grounds for any abatement or reduction of rent or termination of the Lease and Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant for any damages or losses on account of any such entry by Landlord except, subject to the provisions of Section 22.1, to the extent of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

16. Utilities and Services.

16.1 Standard Utilities and Services. As long as Tenant has not committed an uncured default under any of the provisions of this Lease, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and the obligations of Tenant as set forth herein below, Landlord shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Premises the following utilities and services (Landlord reserves the right to adopt non-discriminatory modifications and additions to the following provisions from time to time):

(a) Landlord shall make the elevator of the Building available for Tenant’s non-exclusive use, twenty-four (24) hours per day.

(b) Landlord shall furnish during the Business Hours for the Building specified in Section 1.18 of the Summary, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”) for the Premises as required in Landlord’s reasonable judgment for the comfortable and normal occupancy of the Premises. The cost of maintenance and service calls to adjust and regulate the HVAC system shall be charged to Tenant if the need for maintenance work results from either

Tenant’s adjustment of room thermostats or Tenant’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 16, including keeping window coverings closed as needed. Such work shall be charged at hourly rates equal to then-current journeyman’s wages for HVAC mechanics.

(c) Landlord shall furnish to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, reasonable quantities of electric current as required in Landlord’s reasonable judgment for normal lighting and fractional horsepower office business machines. Landlord will provide not less than 6 xxxxx per square foot of electrical current, exclusive of air conditioning, and if such current is provided, in no event shall Tenant’s use of electric current ever exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Building or the risers or wiring installation of the Building. Landlord shall also furnish water to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day for drinking and lavatory purposes, in such quantities as required in Landlord’s reasonable judgment for the comfortable and normal use of the Premises. If Tenant requires or consumes water or electrical power in excess of reasonable or normal quantities, Landlord may require Tenant to pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the cost as fairly determined by Landlord incurred for such excess usage.

(d) Landlord shall furnish janitorial services to the common areas of the Premises five (5) days per week pursuant to janitorial and cleaning specifications as may be adopted by Landlord from time to time. No person(s) other than those persons approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Premises for such purposes. Janitor service shall include ordinary dusting and cleaning by the janitor assigned to do such work and shall not include cleaning of carpets or rugs, except normal vacuuming, or moving of furniture, interior window cleaning, coffee or eating area cleaning and other special services. Such additional services may be rendered by Landlord pursuant to written agreement with Tenant as to the extent of such services and the payment of the cost thereof. Window cleaning shall be done only by Landlord, at such time and frequency as determined by Landlord at Landlord’s sole discretion, but in no event less than twice per year.

(e) Landlord may provide security service or protection in the Building, in any manner deemed reasonable by Landlord at Landlord’s sole discretion, from the Commencement Date throughout the Term.

(f) Landlord shall have the option to install electricity and HVAC meters in the Premises to measure Tenant’s consumption of such utilities, including any after-hours and extraordinary usage described above in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand, the cost of the installation, maintenance and repair of such submeter if such meter reflects excess usage by Tenant. Landlord shall also have the option to submeter Tenant’s water usage, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand, the cost of the installation, maintenance and repair of such submeter if such meter reflects excess usage by Tenant.

(g) Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time-to-time during the Lease Term to contract for service from any company or companies providing electricity service, or change its contract from company to company (“Service Provider”). Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and the Service Provider at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord and Service Provider reasonable access to the Building’s electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises. Landlord, in such event, shall endeavor to

require the new service provider to provide a continuing level of service provided by the previous service provider. Landlord shall in no way be liable or responsible for any loss, damage, or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any change, failure, interference, disruption, or defect in the supply or character of the electric energy furnished to the Premises, or if the quantity or character of the electric energy supplied by the Service Provider is no longer available or suitable for Tenant’s requirements, no such change, failure, defect, unavailability, or unsuitability shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under the Lease.

(h) Landlord shall not be responsible for the failure of the heat and air conditioning system to perform its function due to the arrangement of partitioning in the Premises or changes or alterations thereto, the use of any heat-generating machinery or equipment in the Premises, or any occupancy of the Premises by an excessive number of persons.

16.2 Utilities Costs as Operating Expenses. Except as set forth herein, the costs of Building services shall be included in Operating Expenses and all charges with respect to utilities shall be included in Utilities Costs as defined in Section 4.7 above. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, provide additional services hereunder.

16.3 Utility Rationing. Tenant acknowledges that the Premises and/or the Building may become subject to the rationing of Utility services or restrictions on Utility as required by a public utility company, governmental agency or other similar entity having jurisdiction thereof. Tenant acknowledges that its tenancy occupancy hereunder shall be subject to such rationing or restrictions as may be imposed upon Landlord, Tenant, the Premises and/or the Building, and Tenant shall in no event be excused or relieved from any covenant or obligation to be kept or performed by Tenant by reason of any such rationing or restrictions. Tenant agrees to comply with energy conservation programs implemented by Landlord by reason of rationing, restrictions or Laws.

16.4 Tenant’s Obligations. Tenant shall cooperate fully at all times with Landlord, and abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the Building’s services and systems. Tenant shall not use any apparatus or device in, upon or about the Premises which may in any way increase the amount of services or utilities usually furnished or supplied to the Premises or other premises in the Building. In addition, Tenant shall not connect any conduit, pipe, apparatus or other device to the Building’s water; waste or other supply lines or system for any purpose. Neither Tenant nor its employees, agents, contractors, licensees or invitees shall at any time enter, adjust, tamper with, touch or otherwise in any manner affect the mechanical installations or facilities of the Building.

16.5 Failure to Provide Utilities. Landlord’s failure to furnish any of the utilities and services described in Section 16.1 above when such failure is caused by all or any of the following shall not result in any liability of Landlord: (a) accident, breakage or repairs; (b) strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any such character; (c) governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action; (d) inability, despite the exercise of reasonable diligence, to obtain electricity, water or fuel; or (e) any other cause

beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of the failure of any said utilities or services, Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent except, as Tenant’s sole remedy, after ten (10) business days of failure to provide Utilities and provided that the Tenant can not utilize the Premises in accordance with its customary operation due to the hardship, thereafter, Tenant shall receive Rental Abatement until the Utilities are provided in the Premises (except as expressly provided in Sections 18.3 and 19.2 if such failure is a result of a damage or taking described therein or if such failure is a result of any act or omission of Tenant), no eviction of Tenant shall result, and Tenant shall not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(1) or any other applicable existing or future law, ordinance or governmental regulation permitting the termination of this Lease due to an interruption, failure or inability to provide any services.

17. Indemnification and Exculpation.

17.1 Tenant’s Assumption of Risk and Waiver. Subject to the terms of Section 22 and unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents or invitees for: (i) any damage to property of Tenant, or of others, located in, on or about the Premises, nor for (ii) the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant or of others by theft or otherwise, (iii) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain or leaks from any part of the Premises or from the pipes, appliance of plumbing works or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other places or by dampness or by any other cause of whatsoever nature, or (iv) any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in the Premises, occupants of adjacent property of the Project, or the public, or caused by operations in construction of any private, public or quasi-public work Landlord shall in no event be liable to Tenant for any consequential damages or for loss of revenue or income and Tenant waives any and all claims for any such damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 17.1, all property of Tenant, its agents, employees and invitees kept or stored on the Premises, whether leased or owned by any such parties, shall be so kept or stored at the sole risk of Tenant and Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from any claims arising out of damage to the same, including subrogation claims by Tenant’s insurance carriers, unless such damage shall be caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for interference with the light or other intangible rights.

17.2 Tenant’s Indemnification of Landlord. Except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, Tenant shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord and Landlord’s members, partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, “Landlord Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, any and all claims, damages, judgments, suits, causes of action, losses, liabilities and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and court costs (collectively, “Indemnified Claims”), arising or resulting from (a) any occurrence at the Premises following the date Landlord delivers all or any portion of the Premises to Tenant, (b) any act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, assignees, licensees or invitees (collectively, “Tenant Parties”); (c) the use of the Premises and Common Areas and conduct of Tenant’s business by Tenant or any

Tenant Parties, or any other activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, in or about the Premises, the Building or elsewhere in the Project; and/or (d) any default by Tenant of any obligations on Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease or the terms of any contract or agreement to which Tenant is a party or by which it is bound, affecting this Lease or the Premises. The foregoing indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, any injury to, or death of, any person, or any loss of, or damage to, any property on the Premises, or on adjoining sidewalks, streets or ways, or connected with the use, condition or occupancy thereof, whether or not Landlord or its mortgagee has or should have knowledge or notice of the defect or conditions causing or contributing to such injury, death, loss or damage. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord or any Landlord Indemnified Parties by reason of any such Indemnified Claims, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord.

17.3 Survival; No Release of Insurers. The indemnification obligations under Section 17.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant’s covenants, agreements and indemnification in Sections 17.1 and 17.2 above are not intended to and shall not relieve any insurance carrier of its obligations under policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

18. Damage or Destruction.

18.1 Landlord’s Rights and Obligations. In the event the Premises or any part of the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty to an extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost thereof, and Landlord’s contractor estimates in a writing delivered to the parties that the damage thereto is such that the Building and/or Premises may be repaired, reconstructed or restored to substantially its condition immediately prior to such damage within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such casualty, and Landlord will receive insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the costs of such repairs, reconstruction and restoration (including proceeds from Tenant and/or Tenant’s insurance which Tenant is required to deliver to Landlord pursuant to Section 18.2 below), then Landlord shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair, reconstruction and restoration and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If, however, the Premises or any other part of the Building is damaged to an extent exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost thereof, or Landlord’s contractor estimates that such work of repair, reconstruction and restoration will require longer than one hundred fifty (150) days to complete, or Landlord will not receive insurance proceeds (and/or proceeds from Tenant, as applicable) sufficient to cover the costs of such repairs, reconstruction and restoration, then Landlord may elect to either:

(a) repair, reconstruct and restore the portion of the Building and Premises damaged by such casualty (including the Tenant Improvements and, to the extent of insurance proceeds received from Tenant, Tenant Changes), in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect; or

(b) terminate this Lease effective as of the date which is thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s election to so terminate.

Under any of the conditions of this Section 18.1, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of its intention to repair or terminate within the later of thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such casualty, or fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the estimate from Landlord’s contractor.

18.2 Tenant’s Costs and Insurance Proceeds. In the event of any damage or destruction of all or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall immediately: (a) notify Landlord thereof; and (b) deliver to Landlord all insurance proceeds received by Tenant with respect to the Tenant Changes in the Premises (excluding proceeds for Tenant’s furniture and other personal property), whether or not this Lease is terminated as permitted in this Section 18, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all rights to receive such insurance proceeds. If, for any reason (including Tenant’s failure to obtain insurance for the full replacement cost of any Tenant Changes which Tenant is required to insure pursuant to Sections 12.1(c) and/or 20.1(a) hereof), Tenant fails to receive insurance proceeds covering the full replacement cost of such Tenant Changes which are damaged, Tenant shall be deemed to have self-insured the replacement cost of such Tenant Changes, and upon any damage or destruction thereto, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the full replacement cost of such items, less any insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord from Landlord’s or Tenant’s insurance with respect to such items.

18.3 Abatement of Rent. In the event that as a result of any such damage, repair, reconstruction and/or restoration of the Premises or the Building, Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, then the rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, during the period that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using and does not use the Premises or portion thereof, in the proportion that the Rentable Square Feet of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total Rentable Square Feet of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the damage is due to willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Parties, there shall be no abatement of rent. Except for abatement of rent as provided hereinabove, Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss of, or interference with, Tenant’s business or use or access of all or any part of the Premises resulting from any such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration.

18.4 Inability to Complete. Provided Tenant is not in default hereunder and that the damage was not caused by an act or omission of Tenant or a Tenant Party, in the event Landlord is obligated or elects to repair, reconstruct and/or restore the damaged portion of the Building or Premises pursuant to Section 18.1 above, but reasonably expects to be delayed from completing such repair, reconstruction and/or restoration beyond the date that is three months after the date estimated by Landlord’s contractor for completion thereof pursuant to 18.1, Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice thereof and then Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days of prior written notice to the other, provided that such termination notice is delivered within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s delivery of the notice of delayed restoration to Tenant.

18.5 Damage Near End of Term. In addition to its termination rights in Sections 18.1 and 18.4 above, Landlord and Tenant (upon the exercise of such right by LandLord) shall have the right to terminate this Lease if any damage to the Building or Premises occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease and Landlord’s contractor estimates in a writing

delivered to the parties that the repair, reconstruction or restoration of such damage cannot be completed within the earlier of (a) the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term, or (b) sixty (60) days after the date of such casualty.

18.6 Waiver of Termination Right. This Lease sets forth the terms and conditions upon which this Lease may terminate in the event of any damage or destruction. Accordingly, the parties hereby waive the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932, Subsection 2, and Section 1933, Subsection 4 (and any successor statutes thereof permitting the parties to terminate this Lease as a result of any damage or destruction).

19. Eminent Domain.

19.1 Substantial Taking. Subject to the provisions of Section 19.4 below in case the whole of the Premises, or such part thereof as shall substantially interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority.

19.2 Partial Taking; Abatement of Rent. In the event of a taking of a portion of the Premises which does not substantially interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business, then, except as otherwise provided in the immediately following sentence, neither party shall have the right to terminate this Lease and Landlord shall thereafter proceed to make a functional unit of the remaining portion of the Premises, and rent shall be abated with respect to the part of the Premises which Tenant shall be so deprived on account of such taking. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence to the contrary, if any part of the Building or the Site shall be taken (whether or not such taking substantially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises), Landlord may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant.

19.3 Condemnation Award. Subject to the provisions of Section 19.4 below, in connection with any taking of the Premises or Building, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award which may be made or given in such taking or condemnation, without deduction or apportionment for any estate or interest of Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed by Tenant that no portion of any such award shall be allowed or paid to Tenant for any so-called bonus or excess value of this Lease, and such bonus or excess value shall be the sole property of Landlord. Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation because of such taking (including any claim for bonus or excess value of this Lease); provided, however, if any portion of the Premises is taken, Tenant shall be granted the right to recover from the condemning authority (but not from Landlord) any compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for the taking of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property within the Premises, for Tenant’s relocation expenses, and other damage to Tenant’s business by reason of such taking.

19.4 Temporary Taking. In the event of a taking of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary use, (a) this Lease shall be and remain unaffected thereby and rent shall not xxxxx, and (b) Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself such portion or portions of any award made for such use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the Term, provided that if

such taking shall remain in force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall perform its obligations under Section 9 with respect to surrender of the Premises and shall pay to Landlord the portion of any award which is attributable to any period of time beyond the Term expiration date. For purpose of this Section 19.4, a temporary taking shall be defined as a taking for a period of ninety (90) days or less.

19.5 Waiver of Termination Right. This Lease sets forth the terms and conditions upon which this Lease may terminate in the event of a taking. Accordingly, the parties waive the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 and any successor or similar statutes permitting the parties to terminate this Lease as a result of a taking.

20. Tenant’s Insurance.

20.1 Types of Insurance. On or before the earlier of the Commencement Date or the date Tenant commences or causes to be commenced any work of any type in or on the Premises pursuant to this Lease, and continuing during the entire Term, Tenant shall obtain and keep in full force and effect, the following insurance:

(a) Special Form (formerly known as All Risk) insurance, including fire and extended coverage, sprinkler leakage (including earthquake sprinkler leakage), vandalism, malicious mischief plus earthquake and flood coverage upon property of every description and kind owned by Tenant and located in the Premises or Building, or for which Tenant is legally liable or installed by or on behalf of Tenant including, without limitation, furniture (also furniture provided by Landlord), equipment and any other personal property, and any Tenant Changes (including the initial Tenant Improvements previously existing or installed in the Premises), in an amount not less then the full replacement cost thereof. In the event that there shall be a dispute as to the amount which comprises full replacement cost, the decision of Landlord or the mortgagees of Landlord shall be presumptive.

(b) Commercial general liability insurance coverage on an occurrence basis, including personal injury, bodily injury (including wrongful death), broad form property damage, operations hazard, owner’s protective coverage, contractual liability (including Tenant’s indemnification obligations under this Lease, including Section 17 hereof), liquor liability (if Tenant serves alcohol on the Premises), products and completed operations liability, with an initial combined single limit of liability of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00). This coverage may be obtained through a separate policy or in combination with another excess liability or umbrella policy. Tenant will be granted ninety (90) days from execution of this Lease, to obtain the coverage above in the amount of Two Million Dollars.

(c) Worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance, in statutory amounts and limits, covering all persons employed in connection with any work done on or about the Premises for which claims for death or bodily injury could be asserted against the Landlord, Tenant or the Premises.

(d) Loss of income, extra expense and business interruption insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils

commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises, Tenant’s parking areas or to the Building as a result of such perils.

(e) Any other form or forms of insurance as Tenant or the mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time, in form, amounts and for insurance risks against which a prudent tenant would protect itself, but only to the extent such risks and amounts are available in the insurance market at commercially reasonable costs.

20.2 Requirements. Each policy required to be obtained by Tenant hereunder shall: (a) be issued by insurers which are reasonably acceptable to Landlord and/or Landlord’s mortgagees and are authorized to do business in the state in which the Building is located and rated not less than financial class X, and not less than policyholder rating A in the most recent version of Best’s Key Rating Guide (provided that, in any event, the same insurance company shall provide the coverages described in Sections 20.1(a) and 20.1(d) above); (b) be in form reasonably satisfactory from time to time to Landlord; (c) name Tenant as named insured thereunder and shall name Zanker Investment Group, LLC (Landlord) and at Landlord’s request, such other persons or entities of which Tenant has been informed in writing, as additional insured thereunder, all as their respective interests may appear; (d) shall not have a deductible amount exceeding Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), which deductible amount shall be deemed self-insured with full waiver of subrogation; (e) specifically provide that the insurance afforded by such policy for the benefit of Landlord and any other additional insured shall be primary, and any insurance carried by Landlord or any other additional insured shall be excess and non-contributing; (f) with respect to the coverage required under 20.1(a), contain an endorsement that the insurer waives its right to subrogation as described in Section 22 below; (g) require the insurer to notify Landlord (and any other additional Insured) in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to any material change, reduction in coverage, cancellation or other termination thereof; (h) contain a cross liability or severability of interest endorsement; and (i) be in amounts sufficient at all times to satisfy any coinsurance requirements thereof. To the extent reasonably obtainable, each such policy shall also provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding (i) any act or omission of Landlord or Tenant which might, absent such provision, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment, (ii) the occupation or use of the Premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the provisions of such policy, (iii) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by any mortgagee pursuant to any provision of the mortgage upon the happening of a default thereunder, or (iv) any change in title or ownership of the Premises. Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord, as soon as practicable after the placing of the required insurance, but in no event later than the date Tenant is required to obtain such insurance as set forth in Section 20.1 above, certified copies of each such insurance policy (or certificates from the insurance company evidencing the existence of such insurance and Tenant’s compliance with -the foregoing provisions of this Section 20). Tenant shall cause replacement policies or certificates to be delivered to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy or policies. If any such initial or replacement policies or certificates are not furnished within the time(s) specified herein, Tenant shall be deemed to be in material default under this Lease without the benefit of any additional notice or cure period provided in Section 23.1 below, and Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to procure such policies and certificates at Tenant’s expense.

20.3 Effect on Insurance. Tenant shall Not do or permit to be done anything which will (a) violate or invalidate any insurance policy maintained by Landlord or Tenant hereunder, or (b) materially increase the costs of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Sections 20 and 21 or otherwise with respect to the Building or the Project. If Tenant’s occupancy or conduct of its business in or on the Premises results in any material increase in premiums for any insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Building or the Project, Tenant shall pay such increase as additional rent upon demand. If any insurance coverage carried by Landlord pursuant to Section 21 or otherwise with respect to the Building or the Project shall be cancelled or reduced (or cancellation or reduction thereof shall be threatened) by reason of the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or by anyone permitted by Tenant to be upon the Premises, and if Tenant fails to remedy such condition within three (3) days after notice thereof, Tenant shall be deemed to be in default under this Lease, without the benefit of any additional notice or cure period specified in Section 23.1 below, and Landlord shall have all remedies provided in this Lease, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right (but not the obligation) to enter upon the Premises and attempt to remedy such condition at Tenant’s cost.

21. Landlord’s Insurance.

During the Term, Landlord shall insure the Project Common Areas, the Building, and the Premises (excluding, however, Tenant’s furniture, equipment and other personal property and any Tenant Changes) against damage by fire and standard extended coverage perils and with vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements, rental loss coverage, at Landlord’s option, earthquake damage coverage, and such additional coverage as Landlord deems appropriate. Landlord shall also carry commercial general liability insurance, in such reasonable amounts and with such reasonable deductibles as would be carried by a prudent owner of a similar building in the state in which the Building is located. At Landlord’s option, all such insurance may be carried under any blanket or umbrella policies which Landlord has in force for other buildings and projects. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, carry any other form or forms of insurance as Landlord or the mortgagees or ground lessors of Landlord may reasonably determine is advisable. The cost of insurance obtained by Landlord pursuant to this Section 21 (including self-insured amounts and deductibles) shall be included in Insurance Costs, except that any increase in the premium for the property insurance attributable to the replacement cost of the Tenant Improvements in excess of Building standard shall not be included as Insurance Costs, but shall be paid by Tenant concurrently with Tenant’s monthly installment of its share of Insurance Costs.

22. Waiver of Claims; Waiver of Subrogation.

22.1 Mutual Waiver of Parties. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive their rights against each other with respect to any claims or damages or losses which are caused by or result from (a) any occurrence insured against under any insurance policy (other than the commercial general liability insurance) carried by Landlord or Tenant (as the case may be) pursuant to the provisions of this Lease and enforceable at the time of such damage or loss, or (b) any occurrence which would have been covered under any insurance (other than the commercial general liability insurance) required to be obtained and maintained by Landlord or Tenant (as the case may be) under Sections 20 and 21 of this Lease (as applicable) had such insurance been

obtained and maintained as required therein. The foregoing waivers shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, any other waivers or releases contained in this Lease.

22.2 Waiver of Insurers. Provided the same can be reasonably obtained at a reasonable or no additional cost, each party shall cause each insurance policy (other than the commercial general liability insurance) required to be obtained by it pursuant to Sections 20 and 21 to provide that the insurer waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against either Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, in connection with any claims, losses and damages covered by such policy.

23. Tenant’s Default and Landlord’s Remedies.

23.1 Tenant’s Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default under this Lease by Tenant:

(a) the vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant “Abandonment” is herein defined to include, but is not limited to, any absence by Tenant from the Premises for ten (10) days or longer while in default in the payment of Rent;

(b) the failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, when such failure continues for ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord that such payment was not received when due;

(c) the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in Sections 23.1 (a) or (b) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that, if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, which completion shall occur not later than sixty (60) days from the date of such notice from Landlord;

(d) (i) the making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against the Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days), (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease where possession is not restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days, or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease where such seizure is not discharged within sixty (60) days;

(e) any material representation or warranty made by Tenant in this Lease or any other document delivered in connection with the execution and delivery of this Lease or pursuant to this Lease proves to be incorrect in any material respect;

(f) Tenant shall be liquidated or dissolved or shall begin proceedings towards its liquidation or dissolution;

(g) Chronic delinquency by Tenant in the payment of Rent, or any other periodic payments required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. “Chronic delinquency” shall mean failure by Tenant to pay Rent, or any other payments required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease within three (3) days after written notice thereof for any three (3) months (consecutive or nonconsecutive) during any period of twelve (12) months;

(h) Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be canceled or terminated or shall expire or be reduced or materially changed, except as permitted in this Lease; and

(i) Any failure by Tenant to discharge any lien or encumbrance placed on the Building or any part thereof in violation of this Lease within ten (10) days after the date such lien or encumbrance is filed or recorded against the Building or any part thereof

Any notice sent by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section 23 shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 1161.

23.2 Landlord’s Remedies; Termination. In the event of any such default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant:

(a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(b) the worth at the time of the 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 rental loss that Tenant proves could be 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 under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom Including, but not limited to: unamortized Tenant Improvement costs; reasonable attorneys’ fees; brokers’ commissions; the costs of refurbishment, alterations, renovation and repair of the Premises to the extent of damage beyond ordinary wear and tear; and removal (including the repair of any damage caused by such removal) and storage (or disposal) of Tenant’s personal property, equipment, fixtures, Tenant Changes, Tenant Improvements and any other items which Tenant is required under this Lease to remove but does not remove.

As used in Sections 23.2(a) and 23.2(b) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 1.14 of the Summary. As used in Section 23.2(c) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such

amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

23.3 Landlord’s Remedies; Re-Entry Rights. In the event of any such default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed, stored and/or disposed of pursuant to Section 12.4 of this Lease or any other procedures permitted by applicable law. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section 23.3, and no acceptance of surrender of the Premises or other action on Landlord’s part, shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

23.4 Landlord’s Remedies; Continuation of Lease. In the event of any such default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right to continue this Lease in full force and effect, whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. The foregoing remedy shall also be available to Landlord pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s Default and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, provided Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations) and any successor statute thereof in the event Tenant has abandoned the Premises. In the event Landlord elects to continue this Lease in full force and effect pursuant to this Section 23.4, then Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent as it becomes due. Landlord’s election not to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 23.4 or pursuant to any other provision of this Lease, at law or in equity, shall not preclude Landlord from subsequently electing to terminate this Lease or pursuing any of its other remedies.

23.5 Landlord’s Right to Perform. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, all covenants and agreements by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement or offset of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money (other than Monthly Basic Rent) or perform any other act on its part to be paid or performed hereunder and such failure shall continue for three (3) business days with respect to monetary obligations (or thirty (30) days with respect to non-monetary obligations) after Tenant’s receipt of written notice thereof from Landlord, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations, make such payment or perform such other act on behalf of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs incurred by Landlord in performing such other acts shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within three (3) business days after demand therefore as additional rent.

23.6 Interest. If any monthly installment of Rent or Project Operating Expenses, or any other amount payable by Tenant hereunder is not received by Landlord by the date when due, it shall bear interest at the Interest Rate set forth in Section 1.14 of the Summary from the date due until paid. All interest, and any late charges imposed pursuant to Section 23.7 below, shall be considered additional rent due from Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease.

23.7 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this Section 23 and elsewhere in this Lease (including Section 28 below) shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law or in equity, whether or not stated in this Lease. Nothing in this Section 23 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise affect Tenant’s indemnification of Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease.

23.8 Tenant’s Waiver of Redemption. Tenant hereby waives and surrenders for itself and all those claiming under it, including creditors of all kinds, (i) any right and privilege which it or any of them may have under any present or future law to redeem any of the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after termination of this Lease or of tenant’s right of occupancy or possession pursuant to any court order or any provision hereof, and (ii) the benefits of any present or future law which exempts property from liability for debt or for distress for rent.

23.9 Costs Upon Default and Litigation. Tenant shall pay to Landlord and its mortgagees as additional rent all the expenses incurred by Landlord or its mortgagees in connection with any default by Tenant hereunder or in the exercise of any remedy by reason of any default by Tenant hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. If Landlord or its mortgagees shall be made a party to any litigation commenced against Tenant or any litigation pertaining to this Lease or the Premises, at the option of Landlord and/or its mortgagees, Tenant, at its expense, shall provide Landlord and/or its mortgagees with counsel approved by Landlord and/or its mortgagees and shall pay all costs incurred or paid by Landlord and/or its mortgagees in connection with such litigation.

24. Landlord’s Default.

Landlord shall not be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease unless Landlord has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord’s failure to perform; provided however, that, if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed in default if it commences such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. Upon any such uncured default by Landlord, Tenant may exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity; provided, however: (a) Tenant shall have no right to offset or xxxxx rent in the event of any default by Landlord under the Lease; (b) Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease unless Landlord fails to cure aforementioned default; (c) Tenant’s rights and remedies hereunder shall be limited to the extent (i) Tenant has expressly waived in this Lease any of such rights or remedies and/or (ii) this Lease otherwise expressly limits Tenant’s rights or remedies, including the limitation on Landlord’s liability contained in Section 31 hereof; and (d) in no event shall Landlord be liable for consequential damages.

25. Subordination.

Without the necessity of any additional document being executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, and at the election of Landlord or any mortgagee of a

mortgage or a beneficiary of a deed of trust now or hereafter encumbering all or any portion of the Building or Site, or any lessor of any ground or master lease now or hereafter affecting all or any portion of the Building or Site, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to such ground or master leases (and such extensions and modifications thereof), and to the lien of such mortgages and deeds of trust (as well as to any advances made thereunder and to all renewals, replacements, modifications and extensions thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and any mortgagee and/or ground lessor of Landlord, as applicable, shall have the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated any or all ground or master leases or the lien of any or all mortgages or deeds of trust to this Lease. In the event that any ground or master lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, at the election of Landlord’s successor in interest, Tenant shall attorn to and become the tenant of such successor. Tenant hereby waives its rights under any current or future law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event of any such foreclosure proceeding or sale. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord within ten (10) business days after receipt of written demand by Landlord and in the form reasonably required by Landlord, any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground or master lease or the lien of any such mortgage or, deed of trust or Tenant’s agreement to attorn. Should Tenant fail to sign and return any such documents within said ten day period, Tenant shall be in default hereunder. With respect to Landlord’s existing lender, Tenant hereby agrees to execute the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “H” (“SNDA”) concurrently with Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord.

26. Estoppel Certificate.

26.1 Tenant’s Obligations. Within five (5) business days following Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, in a form substantially similar to the form of Exhibit “D” attached hereto, certifying: (a) the Commencement Date of this Lease; (b) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified, and starting the date and nature of such modifications); (c) the date to which the rent and other sums payable under this Lease have been paid; (d) that there are not, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, any defaults under this Lease by either Landlord or Tenant, except as specified in such certificate; and (e) such other matters as are reasonably requested by Landlord. Any such estoppel certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 26.1 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of any portion of the Site, as well as their assignees.

26.2 Tenant’s Failure to Deliver. Tenant’s failure to deliver such estoppel certificate within such time shall constitute a default hereunder without the applicability of the notice and cure periods specified in Section 23.1 above and shall be conclusive upon Tenant that: (a) this Lease is in full force and effect without modification, except as may be represented by Landlord; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s or Tenant’s performance (other than Tenant’s failure to deliver the estoppel certificate); and (c) not more than one (1) month’s rental has been paid in advance. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by Landlord in writing) and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, suits, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court

costs) attributable to any failure by Tenant to timely deliver any such estoppel certificate to Landlord pursuant to Section 26.1 above.

27. Name of Building.

In the event Landlord chooses to change the name or address of the Building, Tenant agrees that such change shall not affect in any way its obligations under this Lease, and that, except for the name or address change, all terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Tenant agrees further that such name or address change shall not require a formal amendment to this Lease, but shall be effective upon Tenant’s receipt of written notification from Landlord of said change.

28. Modification and Cure Rights of Landlord’s Mortgagees and Lessors.

28.1 Modifications. If, in connection with Landlord’s obtaining or entering into any financing or ground lease for any portion of the Building or Site, the lender or ground lessor shall request modifications to this Lease, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after request therefore, execute an amendment to this Lease including such modifications, provided such modifications are reasonable, do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder, or adversely affect the leasehold estate created hereby or Tenant’s rights hereunder.

28.2 Cure Rights. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee covering the Premises or ground lessor of Landlord whose address shall have been furnished to Tenant, and shall offer such beneficiary, mortgagee or ground lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the default (including with respect to any such beneficiary or mortgagee, time to obtain possession of the Premises, subject to this Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder, by power of sale or a judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure).

29. Quiet Use and Enjoyment.

Landlord covenants, in lieu of any implied covenant of quiet possession or quiet enjoyment, that so long as Tenant is in compliance with the covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to quiet use and enjoyment of the Premises without hindrance or interference from Landlord or those claiming through Landlord, subject to the covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease and to the rights of any superior lessors, beneficiaries, and mortgagees.

30. Transfer of Landlord’s Interest.

The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title to, or a lessee’s interest in a ground lease of, the Site. In the event of any transfer or conveyance of any such title or interest (other than a transfer for security purposes only), the transferor shall be automatically relieved of all covenants and obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease accruing after the date of such transfer or conveyance provided Landlord provides Tenant notice of any such transfer. Landlord and Landlord’s transferees and assignees shall have the absolute right to transfer all or any portion of

their respective title and interest in the Site, the Building, the Premises and/or this Lease without the consent of Tenant, and such transfer or subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a violation on Landlord’s part of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease.

31. Limitation on Landlord’s Liability.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, the obligations of Landlord under this Lease (including any actual or alleged breach or default by Landlord) do not constitute personal obligations of the individual partners, directors, officers, members or shareholders of Landlord or Landlord’s members or partners, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against the individual partners, directors, officers, members or shareholders of Landlord or against Landlord’s members or partners or any other persons or entities having any interest in Landlord, or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability with respect to this Lease. In addition, in consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder to Tenant and notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees for itself and all of its successors and assigns that the liability of Landlord for its obligations under this Lease (including any liability as a result of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord), shall be limited solely to, and Tenant’s and its successors’ and assigns’ sole and exclusive remedy shall be against, Landlord’s interest in the Building, and no other assets of Landlord. Tenant’s remedies shall be limited solely and exclusively to an amount which is equal to the lesser of (a) the interest in the Building of the then current Landlord . Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, neither Landlord nor the individual partners, directors, officers, members or shareholders of Landlord nor Landlord’s members or partners or any other persons or entities having any interest in Landlord, shall be liable under any circumstances for injury or damage to, or interference with Tenant’s business, including but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, in each case, however occurring.

32. Miscellaneous.

32.3 No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual termination thereof shall not work as a merger and shall, at the option of Landlord, either (a) terminate all or any existing subleases, or (b) operate as an assignment to Landlord of Tenant’s interest under any or all such subleases

32.4 No Surrender. No act or conduct of Landlord, whether consisting of the acceptance of the keys to the Premises, or otherwise, shall be deemed to be or constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term, and such acceptance by Landlord of surrender by Tenant shall only flow from and must be evidenced by a written acknowledgment of acceptance of surrender signed by Landlord.

32.5 Professional Fees. If either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit against the other with respect to this Lease, including for unlawful detainer or any other relief against the other hereunder, then all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party therein (including, without limitation, its reasonable appraisers’, accountants’, attorneys’ and other professional fees and court costs), shall be paid by the other party.

32.6 Waiver. The waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same of any other term, covenant and condition herein contained, nor shall any custom or practice which may become established between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof be deemed a waiver of, or in any way affect, the right of any party to insist upon the performance by the other in strict accordance with said terms. No waiver of any default of either party hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord or delivery by Tenant (as the case may be) of any rent or other payments due hereunder or any omission by the non-defaulting party to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

32.7 Terms and Headings. The words “Landlord” and “Tenant” as used herein shall include the plural as well as the singular. Words used in any gender include other genders. The Section headings of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof. Any deletion of language from this Lease prior to its execution by Landlord and Tenant shall not be construed to raise any presumption, canon of construction or implication, including, without limitation, any implication that the parties intended thereby to state the converse of the deleted language.

32.8 Time. Time is of the essence with respect to performance of every provision of this Lease in which time or performance is a factor. All references in this Lease to “days” shall mean calendar days unless specifically modified herein to be “business” days.

32.9 Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease (and the Exhibits and Riders attached hereto) contain all of the covenants, provisions, agreements, conditions and understandings between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Premises and any other matter

covered or mentioned in this Lease, and no prior agreement or understanding, oral or written, express or implied, pertaining to the Premises or any such other matter shall be effective for any purpose. No provision of this Lease may be amended or added to except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. The parties acknowledge that all prior agreements, representations and negotiations are deemed superseded by the execution of this Lease to the extent they are not expressly incorporated herein.

32.10 Separability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Lease (except for Tenant’s obligation to pay Monthly Basic Rent and Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and Assessments, Insurance Costs, and Utilities Costs) shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof, and such other provisions shall remain valid and in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

32.11 Recording. Tenant shall not record this nor shall Tenant record a short form memorandum of this Lease.

32.12 Exhibits and Riders. All Exhibits and Riders attached to this Lease are hereby incorporated in this Lease as though set forth at length herein.

32.13 Accord and Satisfaction. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent payment herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. Tenant agrees that each of the foregoing covenants and agreements shall be applicable to any covenant or agreement either expressly contained in this Lease or imposed by any statute or at common law.

32.14 Financial Statements. Upon twenty (20) days prior written request from Landlord (which Landlord may make at any time during the Term but no more often that two (2) times in any calendar year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (a) Tenant’s most current financial statement and (b) financial statements of Tenant for the one (1) year prior to the current financial statement year. Such statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles and certified as true in all material respects by Tenant (if Tenant is an individual) or by an authorized officer, member/manager or general partner of Tenant (if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, respectively).

32.15 No Partnership. Landlord does not, in any way or for any purpose, become a partner of Tenant in the conduct of its business, or otherwise, or joint venturer or a member of a joint enterprise with Tenant by reason of this Lease. The provisions of this Lease relating to Percentage Rent payable hereunder, if any, are included solely for the purpose of providing a method whereby rent is to be measured and any,

32.16 Force Majeure. Except as otherwise set forth herein, in the event that either party hereto shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder by reason of strikes, lock-outs, labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power, governmental moratorium or other governmental action or inaction (including failure,

refusal or delay in issuing permits, approvals and/or authorizations), injunction or court order, riots, insurrection, war, acts of terror, fire, earthquake, flood or other natural disaster or other reason of a like nature not the fault of the party delaying in performing work or doing acts required under the terms of this Lease (but excluding delays due to financial inability) (herein collectively, “Force Majeure Delays”), then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay. The provisions of this Section 32.16 shall not apply to nor operate to excuse Tenant from the payment of Monthly Basic Rent, Project Operating Expenses, additional rent or any other payments strictly in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

32.17 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which shall be one and the same agreement.

32.18 Nondisclosure of Lease Terms. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord. Disclosure of the terms could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases and impair Landlord’s relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that it, and its partners, officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys, shall not intentionally and voluntarily disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease to any newspaper or other publication or any other tenant or apparent prospective tenant of the Building or other portion of the Project, or real estate agent, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Landlord, provided, however, that Tenant may disclose the terms to prospective subtenants or assignees under this Lease.

32.19 Non-Discrimination. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that there shall be no discrimination against, or segregation of, any person, group of persons, or entity on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, age, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, assignment, occupancy, tenure, use, or enjoyment of the Premises, or any portion thereof.

33. Lease Execution.

If Tenant is a corporation (or a partnership), each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation (or partnership) represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said corporation (or partnership) in accordance with the by-laws of said corporation (or partnership in accordance with the partnership agreement) and that this Lease is binding upon said corporation (or partnership) in accordance with its terms. If Tenant is a corporation, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of written request by LandLord, deliver to Landlord a certified copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors of said corporation authorizing or ratifying the specific execution of this Lease by the individual executing this Lease. In lieu of said corporate resolution, Tenant may provide Landlord with an outside legal opinion stating that the party executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so by the Board of Directors.”

33.2 Joint and Several Liability. If more than one person or entity executes this Lease as Tenant: (a) each of them is and shall be jointly and severally liable for the covenants,

conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease to be kept, observed and performed by Tenant; and (b) the act or signature of, or notice from or to, any one or more of them with respect to this Lease shall be binding upon each and all of the persons and entities executing this Lease as Tenant with the same force and effect as if each and all of them had so acted or signed, or given or received such notice.

33.3 Guaranty. Intentionally Omitted.

33.4 No Option. The submission of this Lease for examination or execution by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Premises and this Lease shall not become effective as a Lease until it has been executed by Landlord and delivered to Tenant.

33.5 No Roof Access. Tenant shall have no access to the roof of the Building.

34. Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION SEEKING SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS LEASE, FOR DAMAGES FOR ANY BREACH UNDER THIS LEASE, OR OTHERWISE FOR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREUNDER. Tenant hereby agrees that this Lease constitutes a written consent to waiver of trial by jury pursuant to the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 631, and Tenant does hereby constitute and appoint Landlord its true and lawful limited attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, and Tenant does hereby authorize and empower Landlord, in the name, place and stead of Tenant, to solely file this Lease with the clerk or judge of any court of competent jurisdiction as a statutory written consent to waiver of trial by jury.

35. Security.

35.1 Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, while Landlord may in its sole and absolute discretion engage security personnel to patrol the Building, Landlord is not providing any security services with respect to the Premises and that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with respect to, any loss by theft or any other damage suffered or incurred by Tenant in connection with any unauthorized entry into the Premises or any other breach of security with respect to the Premises or the Building.

35.2 Tenant hereby agrees to the exercise by Landlord and Landlord’s Agents, within their sole discretion, of such security measures as, but not limited to, the evacuation of the Premises or the Building for cause, suspected cause or for drill purposes, the denial of any access to the Premises or the Building and other similarly related actions that it deems necessary to prevent any threat of property damage or bodily injury. The exercise of such security measures by Landlord and Landlord’s Agents, and the resulting interruption of service and cessation of Tenant’s business, if any, shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, or render Landlord or Landlord’s Agents liable to Tenant for any resulting damages or relieve Tenant from Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

36. Relocation

If Tenant is in monetary default of the Lease, Landlord shall have the right at any time during the Term to relocate the Premises to another part of the Building in accordance with the following:

The new premises shall be within ten percent (10%) of the size of the Premises described in this Lease.

37. No Setoff.

This Lease shall be construed as though the covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent, and Tenant shall not be entitled, except as otherwise provided herein, to any setoff, offset, abatement or deduction of Rent if Landlord fails to perform its obligations hereunder.

38. Right to Lease.

Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Building as Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interest of the Building. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Term, occupy any space in the Building.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

1. The sidewalks, halls, passages, exits, entrances, shopping malls, elevators, escalators and stairways of the Building shall not be obstructed by any of the Tenants or used by them for any purpose other than for ingress to and egress from their respective premises. The halls, passages, exits, entrances, elevators, escalators and stairways are not for the general public, and Landlord shall in all cases retain the right to control and prevent access thereto of all persons whose presence in the judgment of Landlord would be prejudicial to the safety, character, reputation and interests of the Building and its Tenants, provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent such access to persons with whom any Tenant normally deals in the ordinary course of its business, unless such persons are engaged in illegal activities. No Tenant and no agent, contractor, employee, subtenant, licensee, invitee or visitor of any Tenant shall go upon the roof of the Building.

2. No sign, placard, picture, name, advertisement or notice visible from the exterior of any Tenant’s premises shall be inscribed, painted, affixed or otherwise displayed by any Tenant on any part of the Building without the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord will adopt and furnish to Tenant general guidelines relating to signs inside the Building on the office floors. Tenant agrees to conform to such guidelines but may request approval of Landlord for modifications, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. All approved signs or lettering on doors shall be printed, painted, affixed or inscribed at the expense of the Tenant by a person approved by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Material visible from outside the Building will not be permitted. Landlord may remove any sign or material that does not conform to the foregoing requirements without any liability to Tenant, and Landlord may charge Tenant for the cost of any such removal.

3. The premises shall not be used for the storage of merchandise held for sale to the general public or for lodging. No cooking shall be done or permitted by any Tenant on the premises, except that use by the Tenant of a microwave oven and Underwriters’ Laboratory approved equipment for brewing coffee, tea, hot chocolate and similar beverages shall be permitted, provided that such use is in accordance with all applicable federal, state and city laws, codes, ordinances, rules and regulations.

4. Each Tenant shall maintain the portions of its premises which are visible from the outside of the Building or from hallways or other public areas of the Building, in a neat, clean and orderly condition.

5. No Tenant shall employ any person or persons other than the janitor of Landlord for the purpose of cleaning the premises, unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord in writing. Except with the written consent of Landlord, no person or persons other than those approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Building for the purpose of cleaning the same. No Tenant shall cause any unnecessary labor by reason of such Tenant’s carelessness or indifference in the preservation of good order and cleanliness. Janitor service will not be furnished on nights when rooms are occupied after 9:30 p.m. unless, by agreement in writing, service is extended to a later hour for specifically designated rooms.

6. No Tenant shall tamper with or attempt to adjust the temperature control thermostats in its premises. Landlord shall adjust such thermostats as required to maintain heat and air-conditioning at the Building standard temperature which is generally 68 to 72 degrees.

All requests for HVAC services during hours when such services are not normally furnished by Landlord must be submitted in writing to the Building management office by 2:00 p.m. on the preceding day for weekday service, by 2:00 p.m. on the preceding Thursday for weekend service, and by 9:00 a.m. on the preceding business day for holiday service.

8. Landlord will furnish each Tenant free of charge with two keys to each door lock in the premises. Landlord may make a reasonable charge for any additional keys. No Tenant shall have any keys made. No Tenant shall alter any lock or install a new or additional lock or any bolt on any door of its premises without the prior written consent of Landlord.

9. No furniture, freight or equipment of any kind shall be brought into the Building without the prior written consent of Landlord. The persons employed to move such equipment in or out of the Building must be acceptable to Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to prescribe the weight, size and position of all equipment, materials, furniture or other property brought into the Building. Heavy objects shall, if considered necessary by Landlord, stand on wood strips of such thickness as is necessary to properly distribute the weight.

No Tenant shall use or keep in the premises or the Building any kerosene, gasoline or inflammable or combustible fluid or material other than limited quantities thereof reasonably necessary for the operation or maintenance of customary office equipment, or, without Landlord’s prior written approval, use any method of heating or air-conditioning other than that supplied by Landlord. No Tenant shall use or keep or permit to be used or kept any foul or noxious gas or substance in the premises, or permit or suffer the premises to be occupied or used in a manner offensive or objectionable to Landlord or other occupants of the Building by reason of noise, odors or vibrations, or interfere in any way with other Tenants or those having business therein.

12. Landlord shall have the right, exercisable without notice and without liability to any Tenant, to change the name and street address of the Building.

13. Tenant shall file with the Building management office, and keep current, a list of the names of persons authorized by Tenant to enter the Building after Normal Business Hours or on weekends and holidays. Landlord reserves the right to exclude from the Building between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. and at all hours on Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays all persons whose names do not appear on the list Tenant then has on file with the Building

management office. Each Tenant shall be responsible for all persons for whom it authorizes entry and shall be liable to Landlord for all acts of such persons. Landlord shall in no case be liable for damages for any error with regard to the admission to or exclusion from the Building of any person. In the case of invasion, mob, riot, public excitement or other circumstances rendering such action advisable in Landlord’s opinion, Landlord reserves the right to prevent access to the Building during the continuance of the same by such action as Landlord may deem appropriate, including closing doors.

14. The directory of the Building will be provided for the display of the name and location of Tenants and a reasonable number of the principal officers and employees of Tenants. The space available on the directory will be allocated on a pro rata basis; and Landlord reserves the right to exclude any other names therefrom.

15. No curtains, draperies, blinds, shutters, shades, screens or other coverings, hangings or decorations shall be attached to, hung or placed in, or used in connection with any window or the Building without the prior written consent of Landlord.

16. No Tenant shall obtain for use in the Premises ice, drinking water, food, beverage, towel or other similar services, except at such reasonable hours and under such reasonable regulations as may be fixed by Landlord.

17. Each Tenant shall see that the doors of its premises are closed and locked and that all water faucets, water apparatus and utilities are shut off before Tenant or Tenant’s employees leave the premises, so as to prevent waste or damage, and for any default or carelessness in this regard Tenant shall make good all injuries sustained by other tenants or occupants of the Building or Landlord. On multiple-tenancy floors, all Tenants shall keep the doors to the Building corridors closed at all times except for ingress and egress.

18. The toilet rooms, toilets, urinals, wash bowls and other apparatus shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which they were constructed, no foreign substance of any kind whatsoever shall be thrown therein and the expense of any breakage, stoppage or damage resulting from the violation of this rule shall be borne by the Tenant who, or whose agents, contractors, employees, subtenants, licensees, invitees or visitors shall have caused it.

19. Except with the prior written consent of Landlord, no Tenant shall sell, or permit the sale at retail, of newspapers, magazines, periodicals, tickets or any other goods or merchandise to the general public in or on the premises, nor shall any other tenant permit, or allow its employees to operate a court reporting services business in or from the premises for the service or accommodation of other occupants of the building. Nor shall the premises of any Tenant be used for manufacturing of any kind, or any business or activity other than that specifically provided for in such Tenant’s lease.

20. No Tenant shall install any radio or television antenna, loudspeaker or other device on the roof or exterior walls of the Building.

21. No Tenant shall bring into or keep within the Building or within its premises any animals or birds. If its premises become infested with vermin as a result of the use or any misuse or neglect of the premises by Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, subtenants, licensees, invitees or visitors, Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense promptly cause the same to be exterminated from time to time to Landlord’s satisfaction, and Tenant shall employ such licensed exterminator as shall be approved in writing in advance by Landlord.

22. There shall not be used in any space, or in the public halls of the Building, either by any Tenant or others, any hand trucks except those equipped with rubber tires and side guards or such other material handling equipment as Landlord may approve. No other vehicles of any kind shall be brought by any Tenant into the Building or kept in or about its premises.

23. Each Tenant shall store all its trash and garbage within its premises. No material shall be placed in the trash boxes or receptacles if such material is of such nature that it may not be disposed of in the ordinary and customary manner of removing and disposing of trash and garbage in the City of San Francisco without being in violation of any law or ordinance governing such disposal. All garbage and refuse disposal shall be made only through entryways and elevators provided for such purpose and at such times as Landlord shall designate.

24. Canvassing, peddling, soliciting, and distribution of handbills or any other written materials in or about the Building are prohibited, and each Tenant shall cooperate to prevent the same.

25. The requirements of the Tenants will be attended to only upon application by telephone or in person at the office of the Building. Employees of Landlord shall not perform any work or do anything outside of their regular duties unless under special instructions from Landlord.

26. While in the Building, Tenant’s contractors shall be subject to and under the control and direction of the manager of the Building or the Building Engineer (but not as an agent or employee of Landlord or said manager or engineer). Tenant and Tenant’s contractors shall employ labor that is harmonious and compatible with other labor working in the Building.

27. Landlord may waive any one or more of these Rules and Regulations for the benefit of any particular Tenant or Tenants, but no such waiver by Landlord shall be construed as a waiver of such Rules and Regulations in favor of any other Tenant or Tenants, nor prevent Landlord from thereafter enforcing any such Rules and Regulations against any or all of the Tenants of the Building.

28. These Rules and Regulations are in addition to, and shall not be construed to in any way modify or amend, in whole or in part, the terms, covenants, agreements and conditions of any lease of premises in the Building.

Landlord reserves the right to make such other and reasonable rules and regulation as in its reasonable judgment may from time to time be needed for safety, care and cleanliness of the Building and for the preservation of good order therein.
