ARTICLE 2 ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS

The terms defined in this Article 2 shall, for all purposes of this Lease and all agreements supplemental hereto, have the meanings herein specified, unless expressly stated otherwise.

“Base Operating Costs” means the Operating Costs for the calendar year set forth in Section 1.10 hereof as such Operating Costs shall be increased to be what the Operating Costs would have been if the Building were one hundred percent (100%) leased and occupied during such calendar year. In addition, if any classes or types of expenses included in Base Operating Costs do not regularly recur in any subsequent Expense Year, such classes or types of expenses shall be removed from the Base Operating Costs for purposes of calculating the additional Rent due hereunder for such Lease Year.

“Base Taxes” means the Taxes for the calendar year set forth in Section 1.10 hereof.

“Common Areas” shall mean all areas and facilities outside the Leased Premises within the exterior boundaries of the parcel of land containing the Complex of which the Leased Premises form a part, together with the parking and access areas within the Complex, all as provided and designated by Landlord from time to time for the general use and convenience of Tenant and of other tenants of Landlord having the common use of such areas, and their respective authorized representatives and invitees. The Common Areas consist of the Complex Common Areas and the Building Common Areas. The “Complex Common Areas” as used in this Lease shall mean the portion of the Complex designated as such by Landlord. The “Building Common Areas” as use in this Lease shall mean the portions of the Common Areas located within the Building designated as such by Landlord. As of the date of this Lease, Common Areas include, without limitation, corridors, stairways, elevator shafts, janitor rooms in the Building, the driveways, and landscaped areas in the Complex. Landlord reserves the right to temporarily close, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the Complex and the Common Areas from time to time. The Common Areas include the Common Facilities (as hereinafter defined). The “Common Facilities” may include conference and training rooms designated by Landlord from time to time and Landlord reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to remove the Common Facilities at any time and use the space as additional space available for rent by a third party.

“Insurance Costs” shall mean all premiums and costs and expenses for all policies of insurance which may be obtained by Landlord in its discretion for (a) the Leased Premises, Building and the Complex, or any blanket policies which include the Building or Complex, covering damage thereto and loss of rents caused by fire and other perils Landlord elects to cover, including, without limitation, coverage for earthquakes and floods, (b) commercial general liability insurance for the benefit of Landlord and its designees and (c) such other coverage Landlord elects to obtain for the Leased Premises, Building or the Complex, including, without limitation, coverage for environmental liability and losses. Moreover, if Landlord does not carry earthquake, terrorism or another type of insurance for the Complex during the Base Year but carries such type of insurance for the Complex during any subsequent calendar year, then, for purposes of determining Insurance Costs for such calendar year, Base Operating Costs shall be deemed to be increased by the amount of the premium Landlord would have incurred for such type of insurance during the Base Year if Landlord had maintained such type of insurance for the same period of time during the Base Year as such insurance is maintained by Landlord during such calendar year. Conversely, if Landlord does carry earthquake, terrorism or another type of insurance for the Complex during the Base Year but does not carry such type of insurance for the Complex during any subsequent calendar year, then for purposes of determining Insurance Costs for such calendar year the Base Operating Costs shall be deemed to be decreased by the amount of the premium Landlord incurred for such type of insurance during the Base Year.

“Lease Year” means any fiscal year (as determined by Landlord), or portion thereof, following the commencement hereof, the whole or any part of which period is included within the Term.

“Operating Costs” means the total amounts paid or payable, whether by Landlord or others on behalf of Landlord, in connection with the ownership, maintenance, repair, replacement and operations of the Complex in accordance with Landlord’s standard operating and accounting procedures.

(1) all fuel used in heating and air conditioning;

(r) the cost of any capital repairs, improvements and replacements made by the Landlord to the Complex which are required by applicable laws in effect prior to the Commencement Date; or

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, there shall be no duplication of costs, charges or expenses required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.

“Proportionate Share” or “Pro Rata Percent” shall be that fraction (converted to a percentage) the numerator of which is the Rentable Area (hereinafter defined) of the Leased Premises and the denominator of which is the Rentable Area of the Building. Tenant’s Proportionate Share as of the commencement of the Term hereof is specified in Section 1.13. Said Proportionate Share may be recalculated by Landlord as may be required effective as at the commencement of any period to which the calculation is applicable in this Lease. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section, Tenant’s Proportionate Share as to certain expenses may be calculated differently to yield a higher percentage share for Tenant as to certain expenses in the event Landlord permits other tenants in the Building to directly incur such expenses rather than have Landlord incur the expense in common for the Building (such as, by way of illustration, wherein a tenant performs its own janitorial services). In such case Tenant’s proportionate share of the applicable expense shall be calculated as having as its denominator the Rentable Area of all floors rentable to tenants in the Building less the Rentable Area of tenants who have incurred such expense directly. In any case in which Tenant, with Landlord’s consent, incurs such expenses directly, Tenant’s proportionate share will be calculated specially so that expenses of the same character which are incurred by Landlord for the benefit of other tenants in the Building shall not be prorated to Tenant. Nothing herein shall imply that Landlord will permit Tenant or any other tenant of the Building to incur any Operating Costs. Any such permission shall be in the sole discretion of the Landlord, which Landlord may grant or withhold in its arbitrary judgment.

“Real Estate Taxes” or “Taxes” shall mean and include all general and special taxes, assessments, fees of every kind and nature, duties and levies, charged and levied upon or assessed by any governmental authority against the parcel containing the Building and all other improvements on such parcel, including the various estates in such parcel and the Building and improvements thereon, any leasehold improvements, fixtures, installations, additions and equipment, whether owned by Landlord or Tenant or any other tenant; except that it shall exclude any taxes of the kind covered by Section 6.1

hereof to the extent Landlord is reimbursed therefor by any tenant in the Building. Real Estate Taxes shall also include the reasonable cost to Landlord of contesting the amount, validity, or the applicability of any Taxes mentioned in this Section but only to the extent of the savings. Further included in the definition of Taxes herein shall be general and special assessments, license fees, commercial rental tax, levy, or tax (other than inheritance or estate taxes) imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, as against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Leased Premises, Building, parcel or in the Complex or on the act of entering into this Lease or, as against Landlord’s right to rent or other income therefrom, or as against Landlord’s business of leasing the Leased Premises, Building, parcel or the Complex, any tax, fee, or charge with respect to the possession, leasing, transfer of interest, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use, or occupancy by Tenant, of the Leased Premises, Building, parcel or any portion thereof or the Complex, or any tax imposed in substitution, partially or totally, for any tax previously included within the definition of Taxes herein, or any additional tax, the nature of which may or may not have been previously included within the definition of Taxes. Further, if at any time during the term of this Lease the method of taxation or assessment of real estate or the income therefrom prevailing at the time of execution hereof shall be, or has been altered so as to cause the whole or any part of the Taxes now or hereafter levied, assessed or imposed on real estate to be levied, assessed or imposed upon Landlord, wholly or partially, as a capital levy, business tax, fee, permit or other charge, or on or measured by the Rents received therefrom, then such new or altered taxes, regardless of their nature, which are attributable to the land, the Building or to other improvements on the land shall be deemed to be included within the term “Real Estate Taxes” for purposes of this Section, whether in substitution for, or in addition to any other Real Estate Taxes, save and except that such shall not be deemed to include any enhancement of said tax attributable to other income of Landlord. With respect to any general or special assessments which may be levied upon or against the Leased Premises, Building, Complex, or the underlying realty, or which may be evidenced by improvement or other bonds, and may be paid in annual or semi-annual installments, only the amount of such installment, prorated for any partial year, and statutory interest shall be included within the computation of Taxes for which Tenant is responsible hereunder. Taxes shall also include any governmental or private assessments or the Complex’s contribution towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement, such as by way of example only, a business improvement district, for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies.

If the Building and the Other Building are included in the same tax xxxx and contain different size and types of improvements, Landlord shall have the right to allocate the Taxes to each such building in accordance with Landlord’s reasonable accounting and management principles.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing definition of Real Estate Taxes, Tenant shall not be responsible or liable for the payment of any state or federal income taxes assessed against Landlord, or any estate, succession or inheritance taxes of Landlord, or corporation franchise taxes imposed upon the corporate owner of the fee of the Building.

“Rent” “rent” or “rental” means Minimum Monthly Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

As to each floor of the Building on which the entire space rentable to tenants is or will be leased to one tenant, Rentable Area shall be the entire area bounded by the inside surface of the exterior glass walls on such floor, including all areas used for elevator lobbies, corridors, special stairways, special elevators, restrooms, mechanical rooms, electrical rooms and telephone closets, without deduction for columns and other structural portions of the Building or vertical penetrations that are included for the special use of Tenant, but excluding the area contained within the interior walls of the Building stairs, fire towers, vertical ducts, elevator shafts, flues, vents, stacks, pipe shafts, and the rentable square footage described in Paragraph (c) below.

ARTICLE 3 PREMISES AND COMMON AREAS

3.1 Demising Clause. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hires from Landlord the Leased Premises, consisting of the approximate square footage listed in Section 1.4 of the Salient Lease Terms, which the parties agree shall be deemed the actual square footage, subject to change by Landlord in connection with changes in the Rentable Area of the floor on which the Leased Premises are located.

3.2 Reservation. Landlord reserves the area beneath and above the Building as well as the exterior thereof together with the right to install, maintain, use, repair and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, and structural elements leading through the Leased Premises serving other parts of the Building and Common Areas of the Complex, so long as such items are concealed by walls, flooring or ceilings. Such reservation in no way affects the maintenance obligations imposed herein. Landlord may change the shape, size, location, number and extent of the improvements to any portion of the Building or Common Areas of the Complex and/or the address or name of the Building without the consent of Tenant.

3.3 Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. The parties agree that this Lease is subject to the effect of (a) any covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, mortgages or deeds of trust, ground leases, rights of way of record, and any other matters or documents of record; (b) any zoning laws of the city, county and state where the Complex is situated; and (c) general and special taxes not delinquent. Tenant agrees that as to its leasehold estate, Tenant and all persons in possession or holding under Tenant will conform to and will not violate the terms of any covenants, conditions or restrictions of record which may now or hereafter encumber the Building or the Complex (hereinafter the “restrictions”). This Lease is subordinate to the restrictions and any amendments or modifications thereto.

3.4 Common Areas. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, for the benefit of Tenant and its employees, suppliers, shippers, customers and invitees, during the term of this Lease, the non-exclusive right to use, in common with others entitled to such use, the Common Areas as they exist from time to time, subject to any rights, powers, and privileges reserved by Landlord under the terms hereof or under the terms of any rules and regulations or restrictions governing the use of the Building or the Complex and subject to the requirements and limitations on the use of parking areas. Under no circumstances shall the right herein granted to use the Common Areas be deemed to include the right to store any property, temporarily or permanently, in the Common Areas. Any such storage shall be permitted only by the prior written consent of Landlord or Landlord’s designated agent, which consent may be revoked at any time. In the event that any unauthorized storage shall occur then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove the property and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand by Landlord.

(a) Estimated Monthly. During the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly in advance on the first day of each month, in addition to payment of Minimum Monthly Rent, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount of such additional Rent as estimated by Landlord in advance, in good faith, to be due from Tenant.

(c) Adjustment. If the aggregate amount of such estimated additional Rent payments made by Tenant in any Lease Year should be less than the additional Rent due for such year as shown on the subject Annual Statement, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional Rent within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of the Annual Statement the amount of such deficiency. If the aggregate amount of such additional Rent payments made by Tenant in any Lease Year of the Term should be greater than the additional Rent due for such year as shown on such Annual Statement, then should Tenant not be otherwise in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period, the amount of such excess will be applied by Landlord to the next succeeding installments of such additional Rent due hereunder; and if there is any such excess for the last year of the Term, the amount thereof will be refunded by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days of the last day of the Term, provided Tenant is not otherwise in default under the terms of this Lease.

(d) Inspection. Tenant shall have the right at its own expense to inspect the books and records of Landlord pertaining to Operating Costs and Taxes once in any calendar year by any employee of Tenant or by a certified public accountant mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant (provided such certified public accountant charges for its service on an hourly basis and not based on a percentage of any recovery or similar incentive method) at reasonable times,

and upon reasonable written notice to Landlord as hereinafter provided. Tenant’s right to inspect such books and records is conditioned upon Tenant first paying Landlord the full amount billed by Landlord. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of Landlord’s Annual Statement, Tenant shall have the right, after at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, to inspect at the offices of Landlord or its property manager, the books and records of Landlord pertaining solely to the Operating Costs and Taxes for the Base Year and the applicable calendar year covered in such Annual Statement; provided, however, that Tenant must request to review the records for the Base Year not later than the time required for the review of the records for the Annual Statement for the first year after the Base Year. All expenses of the inspection shall be borne by Tenant and must be completed within twenty (20) days after commencement of such inspection. If Tenant’s inspection reveals a discrepancy in the Annual Statement, Tenant shall deliver a copy of the inspection report and supporting calculations to Landlord within thirty (30) days after completion of the inspection. If Tenant and Landlord are unable to resolve the discrepancy within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the inspection report, either party may upon written notice to the other have the matter decided by an inspection by an independent certified public accounting firm approved by Tenant and Landlord (the “CPA Firm”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the inspection by the CPA Xxxx shows that the actual aggregate amount of Operating Costs and Taxes payable by Tenant is greater than the amount previously paid by Tenant for such accounting period, Tenant shall pay Landlord the difference within thirty (30) days. If the inspection by the CPA Xxxx shows that the actual applicable amount is less than the amount paid by Tenant, then the difference shall be applied in payment of the next estimated monthly installments of Operating Costs owing by Tenant, or in the event such accounting occurs following the expiration of the Term hereof, such difference shall be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days following the determination by the CPA Xxxx. Tenant shall pay for the cost of the inspection by the CPA Xxxx, unless such inspection shows that Landlord overstated the aggregate amount of Operating Costs and Taxes owed by Tenant by more than five percent (5%), in which case Landlord shall pay for the cost of the inspection by the CPA Xxxx.

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any information revealed in the above described inspection may contain proprietary and sensitive information and that significant damage could result to Landlord if such information were disclosed to any party other than Tenant’s auditors. Tenant shall not in any manner disclose, provide or make available any information revealed by the inspection to any person or entity other than its accountants, attorneys and financial advisers without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion.

ARTICLE 7 ACCORD AND SATISFACTION

7.1 Acceptance of Payment. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount of Minimum Monthly Rent or any other sum due hereunder, shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest due rent or payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any such check or payment 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 payment or pursue any other remedy available in this Lease, at law or in equity. Landlord may accept any partial payment from Tenant without invalidation of any contractual notice required to be given herein (to the extent such contractual notice is required) and without invalidation of any notice required to be given pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, et seq., or of any successor statute thereto.

ARTICLE 8 LETTER OF CREDIT

8.1 Letter of Credit. Within ten (10) days following the fall execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as protection for the fall and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer (or that Landlord reasonably estimates it may suffer) as a result of any breach, default or failure to perform by Tenant under this Lease, an irrevocable and unconditional negotiable standby Letter of Credit, in a form that is acceptable to Landlord, payable at an office in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, running in favor of Landlord and issued by a solvent, nationally recognized bank with a short term Fitch Rating of not lower than FI or higher and a long term Fitch Rating of A or higher (or in the event such Fitch Ratings are no longer available, a comparable rating from Standard and Poor’s Professional Rating Service or Xxxxx’x Professional Rating Service), under the supervision of the Superintendent of Banks of the State of California, or a national banking association (an “Acceptable Issuing Bank”), in the amount provided in Section 1.11 as the Letter of Credit Amount (“Letter of Credit”). Landlord hereby approves Silicon Valley Bank as an Acceptable Issuing Bank. Tenant shall pay all expenses, points, or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the Letter of Credit and any replacement Letter of Credit. The form and terms of the Letter of Credit and the bank issuing the same (the “Bank”) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval. Landlord hereby approves the form of Letter of Credit from Silicon Valley Bank attached hereto as Exhibit F. If an Acceptable Issuing Bank is declared insolvent or taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any governmental agency for any reason or does not meet the standards to be approved an Acceptable Issuing Bank, Tenant shall deliver a replacement Letter of Credit from another Bank

approved by Landlord that meets the standards for an Acceptable Issuing Bank within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord that the Bank does not meet the standard for an Acceptable Issuing Bank, or (ii) the date the Bank is declared insolvent or taken over for any reason by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

In addition, the Letter of Credit shall expressly provide for the following:

(1) shall be “callable” at sight, irrevocable, and unconditional;

(2) shall be maintained in effect, whether through renewal or extension, for the period from the date of this Lease and continuing until the date (the “Letter of Credit Expiration Date”) that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term (as the Term may be extended). The Letter of Credit may be for one year period, provided the Letter of Credit is automatically extended for not less than a one year period unless the issuing Bank provides written notice to Landlord not less than sixty (60) days prior to the then expiration date of the Letter of Credit that the issuing Bank will not renew or extend the Letter of Credit, in which case Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit not less than thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled expiration date of the then existing Letter of Credit held by Landlord without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord;

(3) shall be fully assignable by Landlord, its successors, and assignees of its interest in the Complex in connection with Landlord’s sale or financing of the Building and Complex;

(4) shall permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings; and

(5) shall be otherwise subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600 (UCP600), or the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 (1998).

(a) Transfers. The Letter of Credit shall also provide that Landlord, its successors, and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent, transfer (one or more times) all of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person, or entity, provided such transferee is the assignee of the Landlord’s rights and interests in and to this Lease, or to any lender providing financing to Landlord. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit, in its entirety, to the transferee and following such transfer Landlord shall be released by Tenant from all liability therefor. It is agreed that the provisions of this Section shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents, and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s transfer and processing fees in connection with any such transfer.

(b) Restoration. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord on the Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be less than the Letter of Credit Amount, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after the drawdown by Landlord, take such actions as are required to restore the Letter of Credit Amount, which may include, but is not limited to, providing Landlord with additional Letter(s) of Credit in an amount equal to the deficiency or provide a replacement Letter of Credit for the full Letter of Credit Amount, provided such additional Letter(s) of Credit or replacement Letter of Credit comply with the applicable requirements of the Article 8 of this Lease. If Tenant fails to comply with this requirement, such failure shall be deemed an incurable default by Tenant under the Lease without any further right to cure, provided that if Landlord is prevented from delivering a notice of default to Tenant or otherwise declaring a default by Tenant for any reason, including, without limitation, because Tenant has filed a voluntary petition, or an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant, under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or other insolvency law (the “Bankruptcy Code”), then no such notice or declaration of default shall be required for a default under this Lease.

(c) Renewals. Tenant covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part of it and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment, or attempted encumbrance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Letter of Credit expires earlier than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, Landlord will accept a renewal of the letter of credit (such renewal letter of credit to be in effect and delivered to Landlord, as applicable, not later than thirty (30) days before the expiration of the Letter of Credit), which shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable as required in Article 8 of this Lease through the Letter of Credit Expiration Date on the same terms as the expiring Letter of Credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. However, if the Letter of Credit is not timely renewed, or if Tenant fails

to maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in Article 8 of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to present the Letter of Credit to the Bank in accordance with the terms of Article 8 of this Lease and the proceeds of the Letter of Credit may be applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. Any unused proceeds shall be deemed held by Landlord as security in accordance with applicable laws, but need not be segregated from Landlord’s other assets. Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit received by Landlord and not applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that was not paid when due or used to pay for any losses and damages suffered by Landlord (or reasonably estimated by Landlord that it will suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that if before the Letter of Credit Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant’s creditors, under the Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the unused Letter of Credit proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.

(d) Draws. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance on the ability of Landlord to draw on the Letter of Credit on the occurrence of any breach, default or failure to perform on the part of Tenant under this Lease, following notice to Tenant and expiration of the applicable cure period, provided that if Landlord is prevented from delivering a notice of default to Tenant or otherwise declaring a default by Tenant for any reason, including, without limitation, because Tenant has filed a voluntary petition, or an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant, under the Bankruptcy Code or other insolvency law, then no such notice or declaration of default or cure period shall be required for Landlord to make a draw on the Letter of Credit. If Tenant shall breach or fail to perform any provision of this Lease or otherwise be in default under this Lease, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant, draw on the Letter of Credit, in part or in whole, to cure any breach or default of Tenant and to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from Tenant’s breach or default, including any damages that accrue upon termination of the Lease under the Lease and/or Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code or any similar provision. The use, application, or retention of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit, or any portion of it, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable federal, state or local law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, following a draw properly made by Landlord of any portion of the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing on such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (1) the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank; (2) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract; (3) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit; and (4) if Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord’s claim or rights to the Letter of Credit by application of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

In addition, Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable:

(1) Landlord certifies that such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease;

(2) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease has filed a voluntary petition under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any similar state law (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Code”);

(3) Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease has assigned any or all of its assets to creditors in accordance with any federal or state laws;

(4) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, which petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date it is filed; provided, however, that if Tenant is still operating its business in the Leased Premises and this Lease has not been terminated, Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit only to the extent such amount is due Landlord under the terms of this Lease or any Lease guarantee; or

(5) the Bank has notified Landlord that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed or extended through the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; or

(6) the Bank does not meet the standard for an Acceptable Issuing Bank and Tenant has not delivered a replacement Letter of Credit from an Acceptable Issuing Bank within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord that the Bank does not meet the standard for an Acceptable Issuing Bank, or (ii) the date the Bank is declared insolvent or taken over for any reason by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.

The Bank will honor the Letter of Credit regardless of whether Tenant disputes Landlord’s right to draw on the Letter of Credit.

(e) Replacement. Tenant may, from time to time, replace any existing Letter of Credit with a new Letter of Credit if the new Letter of Credit:

(1) Becomes effective at least 30 days before expiration of the Letter of Credit that it replaces;

(2) Is in the applicable Letter of Credit Amount;

(3) Is issued by an Acceptable Issuing Bank or a Bank otherwise acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion; and

(4) Otherwise complies with the requirements of Article 8 of this Lease.

(f) Not a Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal of it or any proceeds applied by Landlord as provided in this Lease be (1) deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (2) subject to the terms of Section 1950.7, or (3) intended to serve as a “security deposit” within the meaning of Section 1950.7. Landlord and Tenant (1) agree that Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules, and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (“Security Deposit Laws”) shall have no applicability or relevancy to the Letter of Credit, and (2) waive any and all rights, duties, and obligations either party may now or in the future have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and any successor statute, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect, which (x) establish the time frame by which a landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, and/or (y) provide that a landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by a tenant or to clean the premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in Article 8 of this Lease and/or those sums reasonably necessary to (1) compensate Landlord for any loss or damage caused by Tenant’s breach of this Lease, including any damages Landlord suffers following termination of this Lease, and/or (2) compensate Landlord for any and all damages arising out of, or incurred in connection with, the termination of this Lease, including, without limitation, those specifically identified in Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.

(g) Non-Interference By Tenant. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with any payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of all or any portion of the Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw down all or any portion of the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional and thereby afford the Bank a justification for failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant shall not request or instruct the Bank of any Letter of Credit to refrain from paying sight draft(s) drawn under such Letter of Credit.

(h) Remedy for Improper Drafts; Refund of Amounts Not Applied. Tenant’s sole remedy in connection with the improper presentment or payment of sight drafts drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be the right to obtain from Landlord a refund of the amount of any sight draft(s) that were improperly presented or the proceeds of which were misapplied, together with interest and reasonable actual out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, provided that at the time of such refund, Tenant increases the amount of such Letter of Credit to the amount (if any) then required under the applicable provisions of this Lease. If, following a draw by Landlord on the Letter of Credit and application of the proceeds of same to the extent permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Article 8 of this Lease, excess funds remain after the expiration or termination of this Lease, then Landlord shall refund such amounts to Tenant within sixty (60) days unless any provision of Article 8 of this Lease permits Landlord to retain such amounts.

8.2 Reduction in Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, provided that no event of default by Tenant under this Lease is then outstanding, or event which with the passage of time or notice or both would constitute an event of default by Tenant, then Tenant shall be permitted to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit upon the expiration of the twenty-fourth (24^th) full calendar month of the Term by $146,265.00, so that the amount of the Letter of Credit remaining after such reduction shall be $146,265.00. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.2, the amount of the Letter of Credit may be reduced by Tenant’s delivery of a written notice to Landlord requesting a reduction in the amount of the Letter of Credit as provided in the foregoing sentence and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in executing any paperwork required by the Bank to effect such reduction. Tenant shall pay any fees charged by the issuing bank to amend the existing Letter of Credit or to issue a new Letter of Credit.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no liability for any damage caused by the installation of such heavy equipment or safes.

9.3 Machinery. Business machines and mechanical equipment belonging to Tenant which cause noise and/or vibration that may be transmitted to the structure of the Building or to any other leased space to such a degree as to be objectionable to Landlord or to any tenants in the Complex shall be placed and maintained by the party possessing the machines or equipment, at such party’s expense, in settings of cork, rubber or spring type noise and/or vibration eliminators, and Tenant shall take such other measures as needed to eliminate vibration and/or noise.

However, without the necessity of obtaining such prior written consent, Tenant shall be entitled to use and store only those Hazardous Materials which are (i) typically used in the ordinary course of business in an office for use in the manner for which they were designed and in such limited amounts as may be normal, customary and necessary for Tenant’s business in the Leased Premises, and (ii) in full compliance with Environmental Laws, and all judicial and administrative decisions pertaining thereto. For the purposes of this Section 10.3(c), the term Hazardous Use shall include Hazardous Use(s) on, from or under the Leased Premises by Tenant or any of its directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, invitees, agents, contractors or occupants (collectively, “Tenant’s Parties”), whether known or unknown to Tenant, and whether occurring and/or existing during or prior to the commencement of the Term of this Lease.

Landlord shall provide climate control to the Leased Premises from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (the “Climate Control Hours”) on weekdays (Saturdays, Sundays and holidays excepted) to maintain a temperature adequate for comfortable occupancy, provided that Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply climate control service when making repairs, alterations or improvements or when prevented from so doing by strikes or any cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. Any climate control furnished for periods not within the Climate Control Hours pursuant to Tenant’s request shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense in accordance with rate schedules promulgated by Landlord from time to time. Upon request, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the then current rate schedule. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has installed in the Building a system for the purpose of climate control. Any use of the Leased Premises not in accordance with the design standards or any arrangement of partitioning which interferes with the normal operation of such system may require changes or alterations in the system or ducts through which the climate control system operates. Any changes or alterations so occasioned, if such changes can be accommodated by Landlord’s equipment, shall be made by Tenant at its cost and expense but only with the written consent of Landlord first had and obtained, and in accordance with drawings and specifications and by a contractor first approved in writing by Landlord. If installation of partitions, equipment or fixtures by Tenant necessitates the re-balancing of the climate control equipment in the Leased Premises, the same will be performed by Landlord at Tenant’s expense. Tenant acknowledges that up to six (6) months may be required after Tenant has fully occupied the Leased Premises in order to adjust and balance the climate control systems.

Tenant agrees not to use any apparatus or device in, upon or about the Leased Premises which will increase the amount of such electricity furnished or supplied to the Leased Premises beyond the Electric Standard, and Tenant further agrees not to connect any apparatus or device to the wires, conduits or pipes or other means by which such electricity is supplied, for the purpose of using additional or unusual amounts of electricity, without the prior written consent of Landlord.

Tenant shall not install or use or permit the installation or use in the Leased Premises of any computer or electronic data processing or ancillary equipment or any other electrical apparatus designed to operate on electrical current in excess of the Electric Standard, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be exercised in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. If Tenant shall require electrical current in excess of the Electric Standard, Tenant shall first procure the written consent of Landlord (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the use thereof and Landlord or Tenant may (i) cause a meter to be installed in or for the Leased Premises, or (ii) if Tenant elects not to install said meter, Landlord may reasonably estimate such excess electrical current. The cost of any meters (including, without limitation, the cost of any installation) or surveys to estimate such excess electrical current requested by Tenant shall be paid by Tenant. Landlord’s approval of any space plan, floor plan, construction plans, specifications, or other drawings or materials regarding the construction of the Tenant Improvements or any Alterations shall not be deemed or construed as consent by Landlord under this paragraph to Tenant’s use of such excess electrical current as provided above. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, promptly within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand therefor, all costs of such excess electrical current requested by Tenant consumed as well as an additional use charge calculated by said meters (at the rates charged for such services to the Building by the municipality or the local public utility without markup) or the amount specified in said estimate, as the case may be, plus any additional expense incurred in keeping account of the electrical current so consumed, which additional expense Landlord shall advise Tenant within a reasonable time after request by Tenant.

If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any purpose in addition to ordinary drinking, lavatory, and office kitchen purposes (as determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion), as applicable, Landlord may reasonably estimate such excess and Tenant shall pay for same. At Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Landlord may also install a water meter and thereby measure Tenant’s water consumption for all purposes, and Tenant shall keep said meter and installation equipment in good working order and repair at Tenant’s own cost and expense. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed, as shown in said meter, as and when bills are rendered.

11.9 Interruptions.

(a) It is understood that Landlord does not warrant that any of the services referred to above or any other services which Landlord may supply will be free from interruption. Tenant acknowledges that any one or more such services may be suspended or reduced by reason of repairs, alterations or improvements necessary to be made, by strikes or accidents, by any cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, or by orders or regulations of any federal, state, county or municipal authority. Any such interruption or suspension of services shall not be deemed an eviction (constructive or otherwise) or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Leased Premises or any part thereof, nor subject to Section 11.9(b) below, render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages by abatement of Rent or otherwise, nor relieve Tenant of performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if: (i) any utility service for the Leased Premises is interrupted and Tenant is prevented from using and does not use the Leased Premises or any material portion thereof because of: (A) the negligent acts of Landlord, its employees, agents or contractors, (B) any construction, repair, maintenance or alteration perfonned by Landlord after the Commencement Date, or (C) Landlord’s failure to perform any repair, maintenance or alteration required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease following the lapse of any reasonable notice and cure period with respect thereto, (each such set of circumstances as set forth in such items (A) – (C) shall be referred to as an “Interruption Event”); (ii) Tenant notifies Landlord of such Interruption Event in writing (the “Interruption Notice”); (iii) such Interruption Event does not arise in whole or in part as a result of an act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties; (iv) such Interruption Event is not caused by a casualty (in which event the provisions of Article 19 shall apply); (v) the repair or restoration of such service or the correction of such failure or problem outlined in items (A) – (C) is reasonably within the control of Landlord (or if such correction is not reasonably within the control of Landlord, Landlord actually receives rental interruption proceeds in connection with the applicable Interruption Event); and (vi) as a result of such Interruption Event, the Leased Premises or a material portion thereof, is rendered untenantable (meaning that Tenant is unable to use the Leased Premises in the normal course of its business), then on the third (3^rd) consecutive business day following the date the Leased Premises (or material portion thereof) becomes untenantable, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated on a per diem basis for each day after such three (3) business day period based upon the percentage of the Leased Premises so rendered untenantable, and such abatement shall continue until the date the Interruption Event is rectified.

11.10 Conservation. Tenant agrees to comply with the conservation, use and recycling policies and practices from time to time established by Landlord for the use of utilities and services supplied by Landlord, and the utility charges payable by Tenant hereunder may include such excess usage penalties or surcharges as may from time to time be established by Landlord for the Building. Landlord may reduce the utilities supplied to the Leased Premises and the Common Areas as required or permitted by any mandatory or voluntary water, energy or other conservation statute, regulation, order or allocation or other program.

11.11 Excess Usage. In addition to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs, Tenant shall pay for (the “Excess Utility Costs”) (i) all utility costs (including, without limitation, electricity, water and/or natural gas) attributable to any HVAC or other cooling system located in the Leased Premises or that provides service to Tenant’s server room, data center or other areas with special equipment or for special use, and (ii) all such utility costs consumed outside of the normal office hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday excluding holidays, and (iii) all utility costs consumed at the Leased Premises in excess of normal office use (such as by way of example only, extended hours of operation, heavier use of duplicating, computer, telecommunications or other equipment in excess of the normal use for general office uses, or a density of workers in excess of the normal density for general office uses). Tenant shall pay for such Excess Utility Costs within thirty (30) days after receipt of a billing from Landlord. Such billing shall be determined in good faith by Landlord based on separate meters, submeters or other measuring devices (such as an eamon demon device) to measure consumption of such utilities at the Leased Premises or otherwise based on a commercially reasonable allocation given Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises. The charge for such excess use may include a reasonable charge for increased wear and tear on existing equipment caused by Tenant’s excess consumption. Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, for the Excess Utility Costs within thirty (30) days after receipt of a billing from Landlord, and if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall pay for Excess Utility Costs, as additional rent, on an estimated basis in advance on the first day of each month, subject to an annual reconciliation of such Excess Utility Costs.

Such reduction shall be based on the ratio that the square footage of the damaged portion of the Leased Premises bears to the total square footage of the Leased Premises. So long as Tenant conducts its business in the Leased Premises, there shall be no abatement until the parties agree on the amount thereof. If the parties cannot agree within forty-five (45) days of the property loss, the matter shall be submitted to arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Upon the resolution of the dispute, the settlement shall be retroactive and Landlord shall within ten (10) days thereafter refund to Tenant any sums due in respect of the reduced rental from the date of the property loss. Landlord’s obligations to restore shall in no way include any construction originally performed by Tenant or subsequently undertaken by Tenant, but shall include solely that property constructed by Landlord prior to commencement of the Term hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event the holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Leased Premises, Building and/or Complex requires that any insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within fifteen (15) days after such requirement is made by any such holder, whereupon this Lease shall end on the date of such damage as if the date of such damage were the date originally fixed in this Lease for the expiration of the Term. If Landlord elects to make repairs and such repairs are not completed within 270 days following the date of the fire or other casualty and such fire or casualty was not caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord within the earlier of fifteen (15) days (i) after notice from Landlord that the work will not be completed within such 270-day period, or (ii) after the expiration of such 270-day period but prior to completion of such work.

19.3 Repair Costs. The cost of any repairs to be made by Landlord, pursuant to Section 19.2 of this Lease, shall be paid by Landlord utilizing available insurance proceeds. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon completion of the repairs for any commercially reasonable deductible for which no insurance proceeds will be obtained under Landlord’s insurance policy, or if other premises are also repaired, a pro rata share based on total costs of repair equitably apportioned to the Leased Premises.

19.4 Waiver. Tenant hereby waives all statutory or common law rights of termination in respect to any partial destruction or property loss which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this Article.

19.5 Landlord’s Election. In the event that the Complex or Building is destroyed to the extent of not less than thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the replacement cost thereof, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Leased Premises be injured or not, in the same manner as in Section 19.1 above. In all events, a total destruction of the Complex or Building shall terminate this Lease.

19.6 Damage Near End of Term. If at any time during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease there is, in Landlord’s sole opinion, substantial damage to the Leased Premises or the Building, whether or not such casualty is covered in whole or in part by insurance, Landlord may at Landlord’s option cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to do so within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such damage and Landlord shall have no further liability hereunder. Substantial damage shall be defined as damage that will cost over $150,000.00 to repair. In addition, if the fire or other casualty occurs during the last 12 months of the term and the time to repair exceeds 90 days, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by delivery of written notice to Landlord except of the fire or casualty was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Parties.

ARTICLE 20 CONDEMNATION

20.1 Definitions.

(a) “Condemnation” means (i) the exercise of any governmental power, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, by a condemnor and/or (ii) a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor, either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending.

(b) “Date of taking” means the date the condemnor has the right to possession of the property being condemned.

(c) “Award” means all compensation, sums or anything of value awarded, paid or received on a total or partial condemnation.

(d) “Condemnor” means any public or quasi-public authority, or private corporation or individual, having the power of condemnation.

20.2 Total Taking. If the Leased Premises are totally taken by condemnation, this Lease shall terminate on the date of taking.

20.3 Partial Taking; Common Areas.

(a) If any portion of the Leased Premises is taken by condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect, except that Tenant can elect to terminate this Lease if 33-1/3% or more of the total number of square feet in the Leased Premises is taken.

(b) If any part of the Common Areas of the Complex is taken by condemnation, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect so long as there is no material interference with the access to the Leased Premises, except that if thirty percent (30%) or more of the Common Areas is taken by condemnation, Landlord or Tenant shall have the election to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section.

(c) If fifty percent (50%) or more of the Building in which the Leased Premises are located is taken, Landlord shall have the election to terminate this Lease in the manner prescribed herein.

20.4 Termination or Abatement. If either party elects to terminate this Lease under the provisions of Section 20.3 (such party is hereinafter referred to as the “Terminating Party”), it must terminate by giving notice to the other party (the “Nonterminating Party”) within thirty (30) days after the nature and extent of the taking have been finally determined (the “Decision Period”). The Terminating Party shall notify the Nonterminating Party of the date of termination, which date shall not be earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days after the Terminating Party has notified the Nonterminating Party of its election to terminate nor later than the date of taking. If Notice of Termination is not given within the Decision Period, the

Lease shall continue in full force and effect except that Minimum Monthly Rent shall be reduced by subtracting therefrom an amount calculated by multiplying the Minimum Monthly Rent in effect prior to the taking by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of square feet taken from the Leased Premises and the denominator of which is the number of square feet in the Leased Premises prior to the taking.

20.5 Restoration. If there is a partial taking of the Leased Premises and this Lease remains in full force and effect pursuant to this Article, Landlord, at its cost, shall accomplish all necessary restoration so that the Leased Premises is returned as near as practical to its condition immediately prior to the date of the taking, but in no event shall Landlord be obligated to expend more for such restoration than the extent of funds actually paid to Landlord by the condemnor.

20.6 Award. Any award arising from the condemnation or the settlement thereof shall belong to and be paid to Landlord except that Tenant shall receive from the award compensation for the following if specified in the award by the condemning authority, so long as it does not reduce Landlord’s award in respect of the real property: Tenant’s trade fixtures, tangible personal property, goodwill, loss of business and relocation expenses. At all events, Landlord shall be solely entitled to all award in respect of the real property, including the bonus value of the leasehold. Tenant shall not be entitled to any award until Landlord has received the above sum in full.

ARTICLE 21 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

21.1 Lease is Personal. The purpose of this Lease is to transfer possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant for Tenant’s personal use in return for certain benefits, including rent, to be transferred to the Landlord. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has entered into this Lease in order to occupy the Leased Premises for its own personal use and not for the purpose of obtaining the right to assign or sublet the leasehold to others.

21.2 “Transfer of the Leased Premises” Defined. Except for transfer described in section 21.11 hereof, the terms “Transfer of the Leased Premises” or “Transfer” as used herein shall include any of the following, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether effected by death, operation of law or otherwise:

(a) An assignment of all or any part this Lease or subletting of all or any part the Leased Premises or transfer of possession, or right of possession or contingent right of possession of all or any portion of the Leased Premises including, without limitation, concession, mortgage, deed of trust, devise, hypothecation, agency, license, franchise or management agreement, or the occupancy or use by any other person (the agents and servants of Tenant excepted) of any portion of the Leased Premises.

(b) If Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company or other entity other than a corporation described in Section 21.1(c) below:

(1) A change in ownership effected voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law of fifty percent (50%) or more of the partners or members or fifty percent (50%) or more in the aggregate of the partnership or membership interests, whether in a single transaction or series of transactions over a period of time or

(2) The sale, mortgage, hypothecation, pledge or other encumbrance at any time of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) in the aggregate of the value of Tenant’s assets, whether in a single transaction or series of transactions over a period of time; or

(3) The dissolution of the partnership or limited liability company without its immediate reconstitution.

(c) If Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., one whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter):

(1) The sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of Tenant or more in the aggregate, whether in a single transaction or series of transactions over a period of time;

(3) The dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant.

21.3 No Transfer Without Consent. Except for a Transfer described in section 21.11 hereof, Tenant shall not suffer a Transfer of the Leased Premises or any interest therein, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and a consent to one Transfer of the Leased Premises shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent Transfer of the Leased Premises.

Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request for consent to an assignment or subletting within fifteen (15) business days following delivery of such request. If Landlord fails to timely deliver to Tenant notice of Landlord’s consent, or the withholding of consent, to a proposed Transfer, Tenant may send a second (2nd) notice to Landlord, which notice must contain the following inscription, in bold faced lettering: “SECOND NOTICE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21 OF LEASE — FAILURE TO TIMELY RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL OF ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE.” If Landlord fails to deliver notice of Landlord’s consent to, or the withholding of Landlord’s consent, to the proposed assignment or sublease within five (5) business days following receipt of such second notice, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the assignment or sublease in question. If Landlord at any time timely delivers notice to Tenant or Landlord’s withholding of consent to a proposed assignment or sublease, Landlord shall specify in reasonable detail in such notice, the basis for such withholding of consent.

Any Transfer of the Leased Premises without such consent (or deemed consent) shall be void, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate this Lease. Any Transfer of the Leased Premises without such consent shall be voidable, at the option of Landlord. The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not include consent to the assignment or transferring of any lease renewal option rights or space option rights of the Leased Premises, special privileges or extra services granted to Tenant by this Lease, or addendum or amendment thereto or letter of agreement (and such options, rights, privileges or services shall terminate upon such assignment), unless Landlord specifically grants in writing such options, rights, privileges or services to such assignee or subtenant.

21.4 When Consent Granted. The consent of Landlord to a Transfer may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that it is agreed to be reasonable for Landlord to consider any of the following reasons, which list is not exclusive, in electing to deny consent:

(a) The financial strength of the proposed transferee at the time of the proposed Transfer is not sufficient in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested;

(b) A proposed transferee whose occupation of the Leased Premises would cause a diminution in the reputation of the Complex or the other businesses located therein;

(c) A proposed transferee whose impact or affect on the common facilities or the utility, efficiency or effectiveness of any utility or telecommunication system serving the Building or the Complex or the other occupants of the Complex would be adverse, disadvantageous or require improvements or changes in any utility or telecommunication capacity currently serving the Building or the Complex;

(d) A proposed transferee whose occupancy will require a variation in the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, a variation in the use clause) or which otherwise adversely affects any interest of Landlord;

(e) The existence of any default by Tenant under any provision of this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure period;

(f) A proposed transferee who is or is likely to be, or whose business is or is likely to be, subject to compliance with additional laws or other governmental requirements requiring additional improvements to the Common Areas;

(g) Either the proposed transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed transferee or an affiliate of the proposed transferee, (i) occupies space in the Building at the time of the request for consent provided that Landlord has comparable vacant space in the Building to offer to such other occupant, or (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building or in the Complex at such time;

(h) the proposed Transferee is a governmental agency or unit, a non-profit or charitable entity or organization or an existing tenant in the Complex;

(i) Landlord otherwise determines that the proposed Transfer would have the effect of decreasing the value of the Building or the Complex, or increasing the expenses associated with operating, maintaining and repairing the Building or the Complex;

(j) the rent proposed to be charged by Tenant to the proposed transferee during the term of such Transfer is less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the then prevailing market rent for comparable space in the vicinity of the Building;

(k) the proposed Transferee will use, store or handle Hazardous Materials (defined below) in or about the Leased Premises of a type, nature or quantity not then acceptable to Landlord; or

(l) the portion of the Leased Premises to be sublet or assigned is irregular in shape with inadequate means of ingress and egress.

21.5 Intentionally Deleted.

21.6 Procedure for Obtaining Consent. In the event Tenant desires to sublet, or permit such occupancy of, the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, or assign this Lease, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord at least thirty (30) days but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the proposed commencement date of such subletting or assignment, which notice shall set forth the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee, the relevant terms of any sublease or assignment and copies of financial reports and other relevant financial information of the proposed subtenant or assignee. With respect to a Transfer requiring Landlord’s consent, Landlord need not commence its review of any proposed Transfer, or respond to any request by Tenant with respect to such, unless and until it has received from Tenant adequate descriptive information concerning the business to be conducted by the proposed transferee, the transferee’s financial capacity, and such other information as may reasonably be required in order to form a prudent judgment as to the acceptability of the proposed Transfer, including, without limitation, the following:

(a) The past two years’ Federal Income Tax returns of the proposed transferee (or in the alternative the past two years’ audited annual Balance Sheets and Profit and Loss statements, certified correct by a Certified Public Accountant);

(b) Banking references of the proposed transferee;

(d) An executed copy of the instrument by which Tenant proposes to effectuate the Transfer.

21.7 Recapture.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 21.7(b), in the event Tenant intends to assign this Lease or sublet or otherwise enter in to a Transfer of the Leased Premises, Tenant may obtain a determination by Landlord as to whether Landlord would exercise its termination rights granted under Section 21.7(b) (a “Recapture Notice Request”). Any Recapture Notice Request delivered by Tenant hereunder shall include the following information: (i) the proposed effective date of the assignment or subletting or Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Recapture Notice Request (the “Contemplated Transfer Date”), (ii) a description of the portion of the Leased Premises to be subleased, and (iii) the length of the proposed term of such assignment or subletting or Transfer. Landlord shall have fifteen (15) business days following Landlord’s receipt of a Recapture Notice Request to advise Tenant, in writing, if Landlord intends or does not intend to exercise its termination rights under Section 21.7(b). If Landlord elects to exercise its termination right set forth in Section 21.7(b), Landlord shall so notify Tenant and such notice shall include the termination date which date shall be the Contemplated Transfer Date set forth in the Recapture Notice Request. Landlord’s failure to respond within such fifteen (15) business day period and following a second notice (which notice shall have a heading in at least 12-point type, bold and all caps “FAILURE TO RESPOND SHALL RESULT IN A WAIVER OF LANDLORD’S TERMINATION RIGHTS GRANTED UNDER SECTION 21.7(a) OF THE LEASE WITH RESPECT TO THE ASSIGNMENT [SUBLETTING] CONTEMPLATED BY THE

RECAPTURE NOTICE REQUEST”) and Landlord’s failure to respond within five (5) business days after receipt of such second notice shall be deemed a waiver by Landlord of the termination rights granted under Section 21.7(b) with respect to the assignment or subletting or Transfer contemplated by the Recapture Notice Request. If Landlord notifies Tenant that it will not exercise its termination rights (a “Waiver of Termination Right”), such Waiver of Termination Right will be made in writing or shall be deemed to have been made in writing if Tenant has provided the notice above and Landlord has failed to respond in the time period set forth above (a “Waiver Notice”) and may be relied upon by Tenant with respect to the Preliminary Transfer Proposal so approved for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date of the Waiver Notice (the “Termination Abeyance Period”). Any Waiver of Termination Right granted by Landlord (or deemed to have been granted by Landlord) hereunder represents Landlord’s agreement not to terminate the Lease (or portion thereof). In the event that Tenant does not present Landlord with a request for consent to a proposed assignment or subletting which is subject to a Waiver of Termination Right within the Termination Abeyance Period provided for herein, the Waiver of Termination Right with respect to such assignment or subletting or Transfer shall expire and shall be of no further force and effect; provided, however, that Tenant shall again have the right to submit a Recapture Notice Request to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Section 21.7(a).

(b) By written notice to Tenant (the “Termination Notice”) within fifteen (15) business days following submission to Landlord by Tenant of the information specified in section 21.7(a), Landlord may (1) terminate this Lease in the event of an assignment of this Lease or sublet or other Transfer of the entire Leased Premises effective as of the Contemplated Transfer Date, or (2) terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Leased Premises to be sublet effective as of the Contemplated Transfer Date, if the sublet is to be of less than the entire Leased Premises. If Landlord elects to terminate under the provisions hereof, and the area to be terminated is less than the entire Leased Premises, an amendment to this Lease shall be executed in which Tenant’s obligations for rent and other charges shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in the size of the Leased Premises caused thereby by restating the description of the Leased Premises, and its monetary obligations hereunder shall be reduced by multiplying such obligations by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises offered for sublease and the denominator of which is the Rentable Area of the Leased Premises immediately prior to such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not have the right to recapture and terminate this Lease in connection with any assignment or sublease or Transfer to an Affiliate of Tenant or a Permitted Transferee (as defined in Section 21.11 below). For purposes hereof, the term “Affiliate” means any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant. “Control” means the direct or indirect ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of an entity or possession of the right to vote more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interest in the ordinary direction of the entity’s affairs. For the purpose of this Lease, any sale or transfer of Tenant’s capital stock, redemption or issuance of any additional stock of any class or the trading of any of Tenant’s stock if Tenant is a publicly traded company shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting or any other Transfer of this Lease or the Leased Premises so long as there is no change in the management and control of Tenant. Moreover, none of the following shall be deemed an assignment, subletting or any other Transfer of this Lease or the Leased Premises: (i) a sale of corporate shares of capital stock in Tenant in connection with an initial public offering of Tenant’s stock on a nationally-recognized stock exchange, or (ii) the issuance of any stock preferences or other equity interests of Tenant in connection with raising additional financing or capital, provided that (i) there is no reduction in the net worth of Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and (ii) Tenant shall continue to conduct business at the Leased Premises in a manner substantially similar to the manner in which business was conducted prior to such Transfer. Landlord’s right under this Section 21.7(b) to recapture by providing the Termination Notice shall not apply to a Transfer to an Affiliate of Tenant or to a Permitted Transferee under a Permitted Transfer.

21.8 Reasonable Restriction. The restrictions on Transfer described in this Lease are acknowledged by Tenant to be reasonable for all purposes, including, without limitation, the provisions of California Civil Code (the “Code”) Section 1951.4(b)(2). Tenant hereby waives the right to terminate this Lease provided under California Civil Code Section 1995.310(b).

21.9 Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer and does not elect to recapture as provided in section 21.7, the following conditions shall apply:

(a) Each and every covenant, condition or obligation imposed upon Tenant by this Lease and each and every right, remedy or benefit afforded Landlord by this Lease shall not be impaired or diminished as a result of such Transfer.

(b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord on a monthly basis, fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Premium derived by Tenant from such Transfer. The term “Transfer Premium” means any consideration paid by an assignee for the assignment specifically, or, in the case of a sublease, the excess of the base rent and reimbursement for expenses and taxes

paid by the subtenant over the amount of Minimum Monthly Rent and additional rent for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs and Taxes payable by Tenant hereunder for the Leased Premises or the applicable portion of the Leased Premises for the subleased space during the same period of time, after deducting, in either such case, any Permitted Transfer Costs. As used in this Lease, “Permitted Transfer Costs” means the actual costs incurred and paid by Tenant for (a) any leasing commissions, (b) reasonable legal fees and expenses in connection with the Transfer, and (c) any Alterations to the subject space made by Tenant in connection with, and solely for the purpose of, the Transfer, provided that Tenant shall furnish Landlord with copies of bills or other documentation substantiating such costs. For purposes of calculating the Transfer Premium when the Transfer Premium is not paid to Tenant in a lump sum, all Permitted Transfer Costs shall be amortized on a straight-line basis, without interest, over the relevant term of the Transfer. Payment of Landlord’s share of any Transfer Premium shall be made (i) in the case of an assignment, within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives the consideration described above, and (ii) in the case of a sublease, license or other occupancy agreement, for each month of the term of such agreement, within ten (10) business days after Tenant receives the rent and other consideration described above.

(c) No Transfer, whether or not consent of Landlord is required hereunder, shall relieve Tenant of its primary obligation to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any Transfer of the Leased Premises.

(d) If Landlord consents to a sublease, such sublease shall not extend beyond the expiration of the Term of this Lease.

(e) No Transfer shall be valid and no transferee shall take possession of the Leased Premises or any part thereof unless, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such Transfer, a duly executed duplicate copy of the Transfer instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord which provides that (i) in the case of an assignment, the transferee assumes Tenant’s obligations for the payment of rent and for the full and faithful observance and performance of the covenants, terms and conditions contained herein or in the case of a sublease, the transferee agrees to perform the obligations of subtenant set forth in the sublease, (ii) such transferee will, at Landlord’s election, attorn directly to Landlord in the event this Lease is terminated for any reason on the terms set forth in the instrument of transfer and (iii) such instrument of transfer contains such other assurances as Landlord reasonably deems necessary.

21.10 Costs. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as additional rent for Landlord’s reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any proposed Transfer of the Leased Premises, whether or not consent is granted, not to exceed $2,500.00 unless Tenant or its Transferee requests more than one round of changes to this Lease or Landlord’s form of consent, in which case such monetary limitation shall be increased to $3,500.00. The reference to changes in this Lease or Landlord’s form of consent shall not be deemed or constructed as an agreement, commitment or assurance by Landlord that any changes will be made.

21.11 Permitted Transfer. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 21, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises (a “Permitted Transfer”) to the following types of entities (a “Permitted Transferee”) without the written consent of Landlord: (i) an Affiliate of Tenant; or (ii) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and consolidation of business entities, so long as Tenant’s obligations hereunder are assumed by the entity surviving such merger or created by such merger or consolidation has a net worth of not less than $200,000,000; or (iii) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity acquiring all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or stock, so long as Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are assumed by the acquiring entity and such acquiring has a net worth of not less than $200,000,000. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any such Permitted Transfer. The requisite net worth required of a Permitted Transferee shall be reflected in certified financial statements delivered to Landlord.

ARTICLE 22 ENTRY BY LESSOR

22.1 Rights of Landlord. Provided that the exercise of such rights does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall permit Landlord and Landlord’s agents and any mortgagee under a mortgage or beneficiary under a deed of trust encumbering the Building containing the Leased Premises and such party’s agents to enter the Leased Premises at all reasonable times upon no less than 2 business days’ prior notice to Tenant (which for purposes hereof may be communicated verbally) for the purpose of (a) inspecting the same, (b) maintaining the Building, (c) making repairs, replacements, alterations or additions to any portion of the Building, including the erection and

maintenance of such scaffolding, canopies, fences and props as may be required, (d) posting notices of non-responsibility for alterations, additions or repairs, (e) placing upon the Building any usual or ordinary “for sale” signs and showing the space to prospective purchasers, investors and lenders, without any rebate of rent and without any liability to Tenant for any loss of occupation or quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises thereby occasioned, and (f) placing on the Leased Premises any “to let” or “to lease” signs and marketing and showing the Leased Premises to prospective tenants. This Section in no way affects the maintenance obligations of the parties hereto.

ARTICLE 23 SIGNS

23.1 Full Floors. Subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in its sole discretion, and provided all signs are in keeping with the quality, design and style of the Building and Project, Tenant, if the Leased Premises comprise an entire floor of the Building, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, may install identification signage in the Leased Premises including in the elevator lobby of the Leased Premises, provided that such signs must not be visible from the exterior of the Building.

23.2 Multi-Tenant Floors. If any other tenant leases or occupies space on the floor on which the Leased Premises is located, Tenant’s identifying signage shall be provided by Landlord, at Tenant’s cost, and such signage shall be comparable to that used by Landlord for other similar floors in the Building and shall comply with Landlord’s Building standard signage program.

23.3 Lobby Directory. If a directory exists in the main lobby of the Building, Landlord will include Tenant’s name in the directory of the lobby in the Building containing the Leased Premises, and Landlord will pay for the initial cost to include Tenant’s name in such directory. Any subsequent changes to Tenant’s name or its listing in such directory shall be at Tenant’s expense.

23.4 Prohibited Signage and Other Items. Any signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed and that have not been separately approved by Landlord may be removed without notice by Landlord at the sole expense of Tenant. Tenant may not install any signs on the exterior or roof of the Project or the Common Areas. Any signs, window coverings, or blinds (even if the same are located behind the Landlord-approved window coverings for the Building), or other items visible from the exterior of the Leased Premises or Building, shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, in its sole discretion. The cost of installation and regular maintenance of any such signs approved by Landlord shall be at the sole expense of Tenant. At the termination of this Lease, or any extension thereof, Tenant shall remove all its signs, and all damage caused by such removal shall be repaired at Tenant’s expense.

ARTICLE 24 DEFAULT

24.1 Definition. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:

(a) Payment. Any failure by Tenant to pay the rent or to make any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder within three (3) business days of the date due; provided, however, that not more frequently than twice each calendar year, Tenant shall not be in default for failure to pay Rent or any other sum unless Tenant fails to make such payment within three (3) business days after receipt of written notice of such failure from Landlord. The foregoing notice and cure period shall not be deemed a waiver or release of the obligation to pay late charges and interest for payments not made when due.

(b) Other Covenants. A failure by Tenant to observe and perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within the thirty (30) day period allowed, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall, within such thirty (30) day period, commence to cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any default by Tenant to comply with the terms and conditions contained in Article 15 (Liability Insurance), Article 16 (Insurance Policy Requirements and Insurance Defaults), Article 32 (Estoppel Certificates) and/or Section 33.25 (Financial Statements) where such failure continues for five (5) calendar days after Landlord’s second (2^nd) written notice thereof to Tenant; or

(c) Receivership. Either (1) the appointment of a receiver (except a receiver appointed at the instance or request of Landlord) to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (2) a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or (3) any action taken or suffered by Tenant under any insolvency or bankruptcy act shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant. In such event, Landlord may, at its option, declare this Lease terminated and forfeited by Tenant, and Landlord shall be entitled to immediate possession of the Leased Premises. Upon such notice of termination, this Lease shall terminate immediately and automatically by its own limitation.

ARTICLE 25 REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

25.1 Termination and Damages. In the event of any default by Tenant, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord herein or at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice of such intention to terminate. 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 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 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 events would be likely to result therefrom; and

(e) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the applicable law in the state in which the Leased Premises are located.

25.2 Definition. As used in subsections 25.1(a) and (b) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. As used in subsection 25.1(c) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank for the region in which the Complex is located at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

25.3 Personal Property. In the event of any default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right and option, with or without terminating this Lease, to do any one or combination of the following:

(a) to reenter the Leased Premises and remove all persons and property from the Leased Premises;

(b) to have all of Tenant’s fixtures, furniture, equipment, improvements, additions, alterations and other personal property remain upon the Leased Premises during the length of any default by Tenant or a lesser period; or

If Landlord shall remove property from the Leased Premises, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, store such property in the Complex, in a public warehouse or elsewhere. All costs incurred by Landlord under this section, including, without limitation, those for removal and storage (including, without limitation, charges imposed by Landlord for storage within the Complex), shall be at the sole cost of and for the account of Tenant. The rights stated herein are in addition to Landlord’s rights described in Article 17.

25.4 Recovery of Rent; Reletting.

(a) In the event of the abandonment of the Leased Premises by Tenant or in the event that Landlord shall elect to reenter as provided in Section 25.3 above, or shall take possession of the Leased Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 25.1 above, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including, without limitation, Landlord’s right from time to time, without terminating this Lease, to either recover all rental as it becomes due or relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises.

Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Leased Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiation of Landlord or other legal proceeding granting Landlord or its agent possession to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession.

(b) In the event that Landlord shall elect to so relet, then rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Leased Premises; fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month, which is applied by the payment of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting.

(c) No reentry or taking possession of the Leased Premises or any other action under this Section 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. Notwithstanding any reletting without termination by Landlord because of any default by Tenant, Landlord may at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such default.

(d) Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).

25.5 No Waiver. Efforts by Landlord to mitigate the damages caused by Tenant’s default in this Lease shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover damages hereunder, nor shall Landlord have any obligation to mitigate damages hereunder.

25.6 Curing Defaults. Should Tenant fail to repair, maintain, and/or service the Leased Premises, or any part or contents thereof at any time or times, or perform any other obligations imposed by this Lease or otherwise, then after having given Tenant reasonable notice of the failure or failures and a reasonable opportunity which in no case shall exceed thirty (30) days, to remedy the failure, Landlord may perform or contract for the performance of the repair, maintenance, or other Tenant obligation, and Tenant shall pay Landlord for all direct and indirect costs incurred in connection therewith within thirty (30) days of receiving a xxxx therefor from Landlord.

25.7 Cumulative Remedies. The various rights, options, election powers, and remedies of Landlord contained in this Article and elsewhere in this Lease shall be construed as cumulative and no one of them exclusive of any others or of any legal or equitable remedy which Landlord might otherwise have in the event of breach or default, and the exercise of one right or remedy by Landlord shall not in any way impair its right to any other right or remedy.

ARTICLE 26 BANKRUPTCY

26.1 Bankruptcy Events. If at any time during the term of this Lease there shall be filed by or against Tenant in any court pursuant to any statute either of the United States or of any state a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a portion of Tenant’s property, or if a receiver or trustee takes possession of any of the assets of Tenant, or if the leasehold interest herein passes to a receiver, or if Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or petitions for or enters into an arrangement (any of which are referred to herein as “a bankruptcy event”), then the following provisions shall apply:

(a) Assume or Reject. At all events any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or Tenant as debtor in possession (“debtor”) shall either expressly assume or reject this Lease within the earlier of one hundred twenty (120) days following the filing of a petition in bankruptcy or entry of an “Order for Relief’ or such earlier period of time provided by law.

(b) Cure. In the event of an assumption of the Lease by a debtor, receiver or trustee, such debtor, receiver or trustee shall immediately after such assumption (1) cure any default or provide adequate assurances that defaults will be promptly cured; and (2) compensate Landlord for actual pecuniary loss or provide adequate assurances that compensation will be made for actual pecuniary loss; and (3) provide adequate assurance of future performance.

(c) Adequate Assurance. For the purposes of paragraph 26.1(b), adequate assurance of future performance of all obligations under this Lease shall include, but is not limited to:

(1) written assurance that rent and any other consideration due under the Lease shall first be paid before any other of Tenant’s costs of operation of its business in the Leased Premises is paid;

(2) written agreement that assumption of this Lease will not cause a breach of any provision hereof including, but not limited to, any provision relating to use or exclusivity in this or any other Lease, or agreement relating to the Leased Premises, or if such a breach is caused, the debtor, receiver or trustee will indemnify Landlord against such loss (including costs of suit and attorneys’ fees), occasioned by such breach;

(d) Landlord’s Obligation, Where a default exists under the Lease, the party assuming the Lease may not require Landlord to provide services or supplies incidental to the Lease before its assumption by such trustee or debtor, unless Landlord is compensated under the terms of the Lease for such services and supplies provided before the assumption of such Lease.

(e) Assignment. The debtor, receiver, or trustee may assign this Lease only if adequate assurance of future performance by the assignee is provided, whether or not there has been a default under the Lease. Any consideration paid by any assignee in excess of the rental reserved in the Lease shall be the sole property of, and paid to, Landlord. Upon assignment by the debtor or trustee, the obligations of the Lease shall be deemed to have been assumed, and the assignee shall execute an assignment agreement on request of Landlord.

(f) Fair Value. Landlord shall be entitled to the fair market value for the Leased Premises and the services provided by Landlord (but in no event less than the rental reserved in the Lease) subsequent to the commencement of a bankruptcy event.

(g) Reservation of Rights. Landlord specifically reserves any and all remedies available to Landlord in Article 25 hereof or at law or in equity in respect of a bankruptcy event by Tenant to the extent such remedies are permitted by law.

ARTICLE 27 SURRENDER OF LEASE

27.1 No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work as a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to it of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.

ARTICLE 28 LANDLORD’S EXCULPATION

28.1 Limited Liability. Redress for any claim against Landlord under this Lease shall be limited to and enforceable only against and to the extent of Landlord’s interest in the complex. The obligations of Landlord shall not be personally binding on, nor shall any resort be had to the private properties of, any of its or its investment manager’s trustees, directors, officers, partners, beneficiaries, members, stockholders, employees, or agents, and in no case shall Landlord be liable to Tenant hereunder for any lost profits, damage to business, or any form of special, indirect or consequential damages.

ARTICLE 29 ATTORNEYS’ FEES

29.1 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or arbitration (if each party in its sole and absolute discretion elects to use arbitration) proceeding between the parties with respect to this Lease, then all costs and expenses, including without limitation, all reasonable professional fees such as appraisers’, accountants’ and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid or reimbursed by the other party. The “prevailing party” means the party determined by the court or arbitrator (if the parties elected to use arbitration) to have most nearly prevailed, even if such party did not prevail in all matters, not necessarily the one in whose favor a judgment is rendered. Should Landlord be named as a defendant or requested or required to appear as a witness or produce any documents in any suit brought by Tenant against any other party or against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant’s occupancy hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including without limitation, all reasonable professional fees such as appraisers’, accountants’ and attorneys’ fees. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 30 NOTICES

30.1 Writing. All notices, demands and requests required or permitted to be given or made under any provision of this Lease shall be in writing. A notice shall be sufficiency given for all purposes as follows:

(a) When personally delivered to the recipient, notice is effective on delivery.

(b) When mailed first class to the last address of the recipient known to the party giving notice, notice is effective on delivery.

(c) When mailed by certified mail with return receipt requested, notice is effective on receipt if delivery is confirmed by a return receipt.

(d) When delivered by overnight delivery by FedEx or other reputable courier service with charges prepaid or charged to the sender’s account, notice is effective on delivery if delivery is confirmed by the delivery service.

(e) When sent by email transmission, notice is effective, provided sender receives no “undeliverable” notification and such notice is concurrently delivered by one of the other means set forth in this Section 30.1; however, notice given by email that is sent after 5 p.m. (recipient’s time) or on a nonbusiness day shall be considered to have been received on the next business day.

If a representative is not generally available during normal business hours to accept delivery or receipt of a notice, then a notice of default or other notice may be sent by first class mail to the last address of the recipient known to the party giving the notice, in which case such notice is effective on the third day after deposit such notice in the mail. A notice may be sent by a party’s attorney. Any correctly addressed notice that is refused, unclaimed, or undelivered because of an act or omission or the party to be notified shall be considered to be effective as of the first date that the notice was refused, unclaimed or considered undeliverable by postal authorities, messenger, or overnight delivery service.

ARTICLE 31 SUBORDINATION AND FINANCING PROVISIONS

31.1 Priority of Encumbrances. This Lease is subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or any other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Leased Premises are a part and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the date of recording thereof.

Landlord has informed Tenant that the Complex is currently encumbered by an existing deed of trust. At Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Landlord shall request the beneficiary (or its servicer) of the existing deed of trust that encumbers the Complex as of the date hereof to issue its standard subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”), pursuant to which such beneficiary agrees to recognize this Lease in the event of default under such Security Instrument or sale under such existing deed of trust, so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond all applicable notice and cure periods. Landlord’s sole obligation under this section is to request such SNDA. Tenant is responsible for paying all costs and expenses charged by such beneficiary and its servicer or such SNDA, including, without limitation, the lender attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Obtaining the SNDA is not a condition precedent or subsequent to the Lease. The failure of such beneficiary to issue its SNDA shall not relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease.

31.2 Execution of Documents. Tenant agrees to execute any documents required to further effectuate such subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be, if requested by Landlord or any lender.

31.3 Attornment. If the holder of any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or security described above (or its successor-in-interest), enforces its remedies provided by law or under the pertinent mortgage, deed of trust or security instrument and succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises, Tenant shall, upon request of any person succeeding to the interest of such lender as result of such enforcement, automatically become the Tenant of said successor-in-interest without change in the terms or other provisions of this Lease, provided, however, that said successor-in-interest shall not be (i) bound by any payment of rent for more than thirty (30) days in advance, except prepayment in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, (ii) liable for any act or omission of any previous landlord (including Landlord), provided that as successor landlord it shall be obligated to cure any continuing default of the prior landlord of which it has received prior written notice and shall be liable for acts or omissions accruing or arising after such successor’s succession to the position of landlord and commencement of control and management of the Property, (iii) subject to any offset, defense, recoupment or counterclaim that Tenant may have given to any previous landlord (including Landlord), or (iv) liable for any deposit that Tenant may have given to any previous landlord (including Landlord) that has not, as such, been transferred to said successor-in-interest. Within ten (10) days after receipt of request by said successor-in-interest, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming such attornment, including a non-disturbance, attornment and subordination agreement in a form required by any such successor-in-interest.

31.4 Notice and Right to Cure Default. Tenant agrees to give any mortgagee(s) and/or trust deed holders, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified, in writing (by way of Notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise), of the address of such mortgagees and/or trust deed holders. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the mortgagees and/or trust deed holders shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or, if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if, within such thirty (30) days, any mortgagee and/or trust deed holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.

ARTICLE 32 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

32.1 Execution by Tenant. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of written request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate acknowledging such facts regarding this Lease as Landlord may reasonably require, including without limitation, that to the extent of Tenant’s knowledge (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms and unmodified (or if modified, specifying the written modification documents); (ii) no default exists on the part of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease; (iii) there are no events which with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or both, would create a default under this Lease; (iv) no rent in excess of one month’s rent has been paid in advance; (v) Tenant has not received any written notice of any other sale, assignment, transfer, mortgage or pledge of this Lease or the rent due hereunder; and (vi) Tenant has no defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against Landlord. Any such estoppel certificate may be relied upon by Landlord, any lender and any prospective purchaser of the Building or Complex or any interest therein. Failure to comply with this Article shall be a material breach of this Lease by Tenant giving Landlord all rights and remedies under this Lease.

32.2 Financial Statements. At Landlord’s request not more than twice per calendar year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy, certified by an officer of Tenant as being a true and correct copy, of Tenant’s most recent audited financial statement, or, if unaudited, certified by Tenant’s chief financial officer as being true, complete and correct in all material respects. Landlord shall maintain such statements in strictest confidence, except Landlord may disclose such statements to its officers, members, employees, attorneys, accountants and existing and potential lenders, investors and buyers, provided Landlord notifies such parties of the confidential nature of such statements.

ARTICLE 33 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

33.1 Effect of Waiver. The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any Lease provision by the other party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such Lease provision or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition therein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. Any failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon strict performance by the other of this Lease of any of the terms and provisions of the Lease or any guaranty of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms or provisions of the Lease or such guaranty, and Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon strict performance by the other of any and all of them.

33.2 Holding Over. Tenant shall pay Landlord for each day Tenant retains possession of the Leased Premises or part of them after termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise at the rate (“Holdover Rate”) which shall be One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the amount of the Minimum Monthly Rent for the last period prior to the date of such termination plus Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs, Real Estate Taxes and Insurance prorated on a daily basis, and also pay all damages sustained by Landlord by reason of such retention. If Landlord gives notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to such effect, such holding over shall constitute renewal of this Lease for a period from month to month at the Holdover Rate, but if the Landlord does not so elect, no such renewal shall result notwithstanding acceptance by Landlord of any sums due hereunder after such termination; and instead, a tenancy at sufferance at the Holdover Rate shall be deemed to have been created. In any event, no provision of this Section 33.2 shall be deemed to waive Landlord’s right of reentry or any other right under this Lease or at law. Additionally, in the event that upon termination of the Lease, Tenant has not fulfilled its obligation with respect to repairs and cleanup of the Leased Premises or any other Tenant obligations as set forth in this Lease, then Landlord shall have the right to perform any such obligations as it deems necessary at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and any time required by Landlord to complete such obligations shall be considered a period of holding over and the terms of this section shall apply.

33.3 Binding Effect. The covenants and conditions herein contained shall, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of all of the parties hereto; and all of the parties hereto shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.

33.4 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease with respect to each and every article, section and subsection hereof.

33.5 Release of Landlord. If, during the term of this Lease, Landlord shall sell its interest in the Building or Complex of which the Leased Premises form a part, or the Leased Premises, then from and after the effective date of the sale or conveyance and the assumption in writing by the buyer of the obligations of Landlord under this Lease accruing from and after the effective date of such sale or conveyance. Landlord shall be released and discharged from any and all obligations and responsibilities under this Lease, except those already accrued.

33.6 Rules and Regulations. Landlord or such other person(s) as Landlord may appoint shall have the exclusive control and management of the Common Areas and Building and shall have the right, from time to time, to establish, modify, amend and enforce reasonable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Tenant agrees to abide by and conform to all such rules and regulations, and to cause its employees, suppliers, shippers, customers, and invitees to so abide and conform. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the non-compliance with said rules and regulations by other tenants of the Building or Complex.

33.7 Transfer to Purchaser. If any security be given by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of all or any of the covenants of this Lease on the part of Tenant, Landlord may transfer and/or deliver the security, as such, to the purchaser of the reversion, in the event that the reversion be sold, and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability in reference thereto.

33.8 Late Charges. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent or any other payment due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impractical to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance and note secured by any encumbrance covering the Leased Premises. Therefore, if any installment of rent, or any other payment due hereunder from Tenant is not received by Landlord when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of five percent (5%) of such rent or other charge as a late charge; provided, however, that Landlord agrees that Tenant shall not have to pay such late charge if it makes its payment in full within five (5) business days after receipt of written notice from Landlord, except that this notice and cure period shall only be applicable for the first time each calendar year that Tenant fails to pay any Minimum Monthly Rent or any additional rent when due. If Landlord has provided a notice of a late payment or default during a calendar year, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide any notice thereafter for the remainder of such calendar year and such late charge shall be due if payment is not made when due without any grace period or notice. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant default with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord.

33.9 Interest. Any amount owed by Tenant to Landlord which is not paid within ten (10) days when due shall bear interest at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate of interest permitted to be contracted for by law. However, interest shall not be payable on late charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. The payment of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.

33.10 Authorization to Execute. If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity, Tenant represents that each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said organization is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said organization in accordance with a duly adopted resolution or other applicable authorization of said organization, and that this Lease is binding upon said organization in accordance with its terms. Further, if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after such request, deliver to Landlord a certified copy of a resolution or other applicable authorization of said organization authorizing or ratifying the execution of this Lease.

33.11 Captions. The captions of this Lease are for convenience only and are not a part of this Lease and do not in any way limit or amplify the terms and provisions of this Lease.

33.12 Number and Gender. Whenever the singular number is used in this Lease and when required by the context, the same shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, and the word “person” shall include corporation, firm or association. If there be more than one Tenant, the obligations imposed under this Lease upon Tenant shall be joint and several.

33.13 Modifications. This instrument contains all of the agreements, conditions and representations made between the parties to this Lease and may not be modified orally or in any other manner than by an agreement in writing signed by all of the parties to this Lease.

33.14 Payments. Except as otherwise expressly stated, each payment required to be made by Tenant shall be in addition to and not in substitution for other payments to be made by Tenant.

33.15 Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof.

33.16 No Offer. The preparation and submission of a draft of this Lease by either party to the other shall not constitute an offer, nor shall either party be bound to any terms of this Lease or the entirety of the Lease itself until both parties have fully executed a final document and an original signature document (or copy of a signed document) has been received by both parties. Until such time as described in the previous sentence, either party is free to terminate negotiations with no obligation to the other.

33.17 Light, Air and View. No diminution of light, air, or view by any structure which may hereafter be erected (whether or not by Landlord) shall entitle Tenant to any reduction of Rent, result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant, or in any other way affect this Lease or Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

33.18 Public Transportation Information. Tenant shall establish and maintain during the Term hereof a program to encourage maximum use of public transportation by personnel of Tenant employed on the Leased Premises, including without limitation the distribution to such employees of written materials explaining the convenience and availability of public transportation facilities adjacent or proximate to the Complex, staggering working hours of employees, and encouraging use of such facilities, all at Tenant’s sole reasonable cost and expense. Tenant shall comply with all requirements of any local transportation management ordinance.

33.19 Joint and Several Liability. Should Tenant consist of more than one person or entity, they shall be jointly and severally liable on this Lease.

33.20 Survival of Obligations. All obligations of Tenant which may accrue or arise during the term of this Lease or as a result of any act or omission of Tenant during said term shall, to the extent they have not been fully performed, satisfied or discharged, survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

33.21 Real Estate Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other party that it has not authorized, retained or employed, or acted by implication to authorize, retain or employ, any real estate broker or salesman to act for it or on its behalf in connection with this Lease so as to cause the other party to be responsible for the payment of a brokerage commission, except for the Broker(s) identified in Article 1. Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all claims by any real estate broker or salesman (other than the Brokers) whom the indemnifying party authorized, retained or employed, or acted by implication to authorize, retain or employ, to act for the indemnifying party in connection with this Lease. Landlord shall pay all fees due such Brokers pursuant to separate written agreements between Landlord and each such Broker.

33.22 Waiver of California Code Sections. In this Lease, numerous provisions have been negotiated by the parties, some of which provisions are covered by statute. Whenever a provision of this Lease and a provision of any statute or other law cover the same matter, the provisions of this Lease shall control. Therefore, Tenant waives (for itself and all persons claiming under Tenant) the provisions of Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) with respect to the destruction of the Leased Premises; Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942 with respect to Landlord’s repair duties and Tenant’s right to repair; Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130, allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Leased Premises by condemnation as herein defined; and any right of redemption or reinstatement of Tenant under any present or future case law or statutory provision (including Code of Civil Procedure Sections 473 and 1179 and Civil Code Section 3275) in the event Tenant is dispossessed from the Leased Premises for any reason. This waiver applies to future statutes enacted in addition to or in substitution for the statutes specified herein.

33.23 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant pays all of the Minimum Monthly Rent, all additional rent and other sums and charges under the Lease and otherwise performs all of its obligations in the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to possession and quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises without hindrance from Landlord or any party claiming by, through, or under Landlord, but not otherwise, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

33.24 Representation. Tenant and to its best knowledge any partner, manager, or shareholder of Tenant with a 10% or more equity ownership interest in Tenant (a) is not listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the Office of Foreign Asset Control, Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) pursuant to the Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (Sept. 25, 2001) (“Order”); (b) is not listed on any other list of terrorists or terrorist organizations maintained pursuant to the Order, the rules and regulations of OFAC or any other applicable requirements contained in any enabling legislation or other Executive Orders in respect of the Order (the Order and such other rules, regulations, legislation or orders are collectively called the “Orders”); (c) is not engaged in activities prohibited in the Orders; or (d) has not been convicted, pleaded nolo contendere, indicted, arraigned or custodially detained on charges involving money laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering.

33.25 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, including any facsimile or other electronic version of same, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one agreement. Any facsimile or other electronic signature shall constitute a valid and binding method for executing this Lease. Executed counterparts of this Lease exchanged by facsimile transmission or other electronic means shall be fully enforceable.

EXHIBIT E – OPTION TO EXTEND AND FIRST REFUSAL TO EXPAND

This Exhibit E is made in connection with and is a part of that certain Office Lease by and between DWF IV CENTURY PLAZA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Landlord, and TERNS, INC., a Delaware corporation as Tenant, (the “Lease”).

1. Definitions and Conflict. All capitalized terms referred to in this Exhibit shall have the same meaning as provided in the Lease, except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Exhibit. In case of any conflict between any term or provision of the Lease and any exhibits attached thereto and this Exhibit, this Exhibit shall control.

2. Option to Extend and Minimum Monthly Rent During the Extended Period: Tenant shall have one option to extend the initial Term of the Lease for a period of five (5) years (the period shall be referred to as the “Extension Period”) by giving written notice of exercise of such option (“Extension Option Notice”) at least twelve (12) months, but not more than fifteen (15) months, prior to the expiration of the initial Term. The Extension Period shall commence, if at all, immediately following the expiration of the initial Term of the Lease. Tenant may not exercise such option at any time that Tenant is in default under the terms of the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods. The Extension Period shall be upon all of the terms and provisions of the Lease, except that (i) the Minimum Monthly Rent during such Extension Period shall be one hundred percent (100%) of then Fair Market Rent, (ii) any work, allowance, free rent, or concession provided by Landlord in connection with the commencement of the initial Term shall not apply; (iii) Tenant shall not have any additional option to extend; (iv) the Special Warranty Period for Base Operating Systems shall not apply; and (v) the First Refusal Right (as defined below) shall not apply.

2.1 Fair Market Rent. The term “Fair Market Rent” for purposes of determining Base Monthly Rent during the Extension Period shall mean the base monthly rent generally applicable to extensions or renewals of full service office leases at comparable class buildings of comparable size, age, quality of the Leased Premises in the Xxxxxx City-San Mateo, California area projected as of the first day of the Extension Period by giving due consideration for the quality of the Building and improvements therein (including the quality of the then existing improvements in the Leased Premises), the quality of the tenants’ credit, for a term comparable to the Extension Period at the time the commencement of the Extension Period is scheduled to commence, and for comparable space that is not subleased or subject to another party’s expansion rights or not leased to a tenant that holds an ownership interest in the landlord, without any deduction for amortization or cost of tenant improvements, allowances, capital improvements or commissions whether or not incurred by Landlord, and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease that will be applicable during the Extension Period.

2.2 Procedure to Determine Fair Market Rent. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent (“Landlord’s FMR”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Extension Option Notice. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written notice of Landlord’s FMR, Tenant shall have the right either to: (i) accept Landlord’s FMR, or (ii) elect to have the Fair Market Rent determined in accordance with the appraisal procedure set forth below. The failure of Tenant to provide written notice of its election under the preceding sentence shall be deemed a rejection of Landlord’s FMR. The election (or deemed rejection) by Tenant under this section shall be non-revocable and binding on the parties.

2.3 Appraisers. If Tenant has elected (or deemed to have elected) to have the Fair Market Rent determined by an appraisal, then within ten (10) business days after receipt of Tenant’s written notice of such an election, each party, by giving written notice to the other party, shall appoint a broker to render a written opinion of the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period. Each broker must be a real estate broker licensed in the State where the Building is located for at least five years and with at least five years experience in the appraisal of rental rates of leases or in the leasing of space in full service office buildings in the area in which the Building is located and otherwise unaffiliated with either Landlord or Tenant. The two brokers shall render their written opinion of the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second broker. If the Fair Market Rent of each broker is within three percent (3%) of each other, then the average of the two appraisals of Fair Market Rent shall be the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period. If one party does not appoint its broker as provided above, then the one appointed shall determine the Fair Market Rent. The Fair Market Rent so determined under this section shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.

2.4 Third Appraiser. If the Fair Market Rent determined by the brokers is more than three percent (3%) apart, then the two brokers shall pick a third broker within ten (10) days after the two brokers have rendered their opinions of Fair Market Rent as provided above. If the two brokers are unable to agree on the third broker within said ten (10) day period, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree on the third broker within ten (10) days thereafter. If the parties do not agree on a third qualified broker within ten (10) days, then at the request of either Landlord or Tenant, such third broker shall be promptly appointed by the then Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of California for the County where the Building is located. The third broker shall be a person who has not previously acted in such capacity for either party and must meet the qualifications stated above.

2.5 Impartial Appraisal. Within thirty (30) days after its appointment, the third broker (the “Third Party”), shall render its written opinion by selecting the Fair Market Rent made Landlord’s or Tenant’s broker to be the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period. The Third Party may not offer any different opinion or recommendation of Fair Market Rent. The Fair Market Rent determined in accordance with the foregoing procedure shall be binding on the parties.

2.6 Appraisal Costs. Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser and one-half (1/2) the cost of the third appraiser.

2.7 Acknowledgment of Rent. After the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period has been established in accordance with the foregoing procedure, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to the Lease to reflect the minimum monthly rent for the Extension Period.

2.8 Personal Option. The foregoing option to extend is personal to the original Tenant signing the Lease (and its Affiliates and Permitted Transferees), but may not be assigned or transferred to or exercised by any other assignee, sublessee or transferee under a Transfer.

3. Right of First Refusal to Expand. Provided that Tenant is not in default under any term or provision of the Lease beyond the applicable cure period, Tenant shall have a limited right of first refusal (“First Refusal Right”) during the Term when there is at least three (3) years remaining on the Term (the “First Refusal Period”) to lease available space, as determined by Landlord, only in first floor of the Building (the “First Refusal Space”) on the following terms and conditions; provided, however, that the First Refusal Right shall not be applicable (i) to a renewal or extension of any existing lease whether by a tenant’s exercise of an option or right to extend or renew or by mutual agreement of the parties to such renewal or extension, (ii) to any assignment or sublease of any then existing lease of any First Refusal Space, or (iii) to any expansion option or similar right granted to any other tenant in the Building pursuant to its lease prior to the date of this Lease, (iv) if Tenant has assigned the Lease or sublet or otherwise afforded any other party, whether by license or other arrangement, to use any portion of the Leased Premises, or (v) if Tenant is not in occupancy and actively conducting business in at least 50% of the Leased Premises, (v) to any proposal from a party to lease any portion of the First Refusal Space and any additional space in the Building, or (vi) if Tenant is in default of the Lease.

(a) Procedure. If Landlord receives or is ready to accept a proposal (which may be in the form of a bona fide non-binding letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or other written proposal, including any proposal in an email) from another party that is not a tenant in the Building (whose lease pre-dates the date of this Lease) to lease only all or any portion of the First Refusal Right Space on terms acceptable to Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Third Party Proposal”), Landlord shall notify Tenant of the basic economic terms of such Third Party Proposal and Tenant shall have five (5) business days after receipt of the Third Party Proposal to provide written notice to Landlord that Tenant accepts the terms of the Third Party Proposal for lease of the proposed First Refusal Space. The failure of Tenant to provide written notice of acceptance within said time period shall be deemed an election by Tenant not to accept the Third Party Proposal.

(b) Effect of Non-Acceptance. If Tenant does not accept the Third Party Proposal, Tenant’s First Refusal Right shall terminate with respect to the First Refusal Space covered in the Third Party Proposal, and Landlord shall be free to lease all or any portion of such First Refusal Space to the party (or any of its affiliates) making the proposal or to any other party on such terms proposed in the Third Party Proposal, or on any other terms. The First Refusal Right shall continue with respect to the remainder of the First Refusal Space not covered in a Third Party Proposal during the First Refusal Period unless and until Tenant does not accept a Third Party Proposal for such space or any portion thereof.

(c) Election to Expand. If Tenant elects to lease the First Refusal Right Space as provided above, then such space shall be included in the Lease, except that the rental payments and other terms shall be modified as to the such space to reflect the terms agreed to in the offer. The parties shall promptly execute an amendment to the Lease, stating the addition of such space to the Leased Premises and such other modifications to the terms and conditions of the Lease as is necessary or appropriate to incorporate the terms and conditions of the lease of such space.

(d) Personal. The First Refusal Right is personal to the original party signing the Lease as Tenant (including any Affiliates and Permitted Transferees) but may not be transferred or assigned to or exercised by any other party.
