provisions of this Sublease shall apply to Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises during the
Move-In Period, including, without limitation, Subtenant’s obligation to obtain and maintain
insurance in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 16 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

billed directly to Subtenant, (ii) Subtenant shall pay for all utility services consumed in the

in the event that Subtenant fails to make any payment for which it is obligated under this Sublease
within five (5) business days of its due date, the amount of such payment shall bear interest at
the greater of (i) the rate of interest applicable to late payments under the Master Lease, and
(ii) rate of one and one-half percent (11/2%) per month for each month or fraction of a month such
payment is late. In the event that the legal limit of the interest rate chargeable for late

business days after written demand from Sublandlord, deposit with Sublandlord an amount sufficient
to replace the amount of the deposit so used or applied. Subtenant shall not be entitled to apply
the deposit to the last payment of Rent or any other payment due under this Sublease.
b. First Month’s Rent. Upon the Effective Date, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord the
first month’s Rent in the amount of $26,435.00.
5. Use. Subtenant shall use the Subleased Premises only for general office purposes and for no
other purpose.
6. Quiet Possession. Sublandlord has the right to sublease the Subleased Premises for the
Term of this Sublease, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 23 following, and agrees that
Subtenant, upon paying the Rent and performing and observing the covenants and conditions to be
performed and kept by it as provided in this Sublease, shall have the peaceable and quiet
possession of the Subleased Premises during the Term of this Sublease.
7. Services. Sublandlord shall have no liability or responsibility for the provision of any
services to the Subleased Premises. Rather, Landlord will provide such services in accordance with
the terms of the Master Lease. No failure of Landlord to provide services, and no interruption in
the provision of such services, shall cause Sublandlord to be in default under this Sublease nor
shall Subtenant be entitled to an abatement of Rent or to terminate this Sublease.
8. Alterations. Subtenant shall make no alterations to the Subleased Premises without both
Sublandlord’s and Landlord’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
Sublandlord and Landlord grant such consent, Subtenant may make alterations to the Subleased
Premises provided that (i) any such alterations shall be made in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5 of the Master Lease, (ii) any such alterations shall be made at Subtenant’s sole cost and
expense and (ii) at the expiration of the Term, Subtenant shall be responsible for the sole cost
and expense of restoring the Subleased Premises to the condition so requested by Landlord.
9. Repairs and Maintenance. To the extent of Sublandlord’s obligations as the tenant under
the Master Lease, Subtenant shall maintain the Subleased Premises in good, safe, sanitary condition
and repair, subject to ordinary wear and tear, and promptly repair any damage caused by Subtenant,
its employees, agents, contractors, customers, clients, or other parties lawfully at the Subleased
Premises. Subtenant shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect throughout the Term of this
Sublease a contract with a reputable service company for the upkeep and maintenance of the heating,
ventilating, and air conditioning system servicing the Subleased Premises to the extent required
under the Master Lease, and shall provide a copy of such contract and all renewals to Sublandlord.
Sublandlord shall have no liability or responsibility for maintenance, repairs, rebuilding or
restoration of the Subleased Premises. No failure of Landlord to provide such maintenance, repairs,
rebuilding or restoration shall cause Sublandlord to be in default under this Sublease nor shall
Subtenant be entitled to an abatement of rent or to terminate this Sublease.
10. Entry by Landlord and Sublandlord. Subtenant shall permit Landlord and Sublandlord and
their agents and representatives to enter upon the Subleased Premises for the purposes and under
the conditions set forth in the Master Lease.
11. Environmental Conditions. Subtenant shall not bring or cause to be brought to the
Premises, or produce on the Subleased Premises, any hazardous substances (“Hazardous Substances”)
which are regulated by any Federal, State or local statutes or ordinances. Hazardous Substances
shall include any substances declared to be hazardous or toxic under any law or regulation now or
hereafter enacted or promulgated by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority having
jurisdiction. Subtenant shall not cause or permit its employees, agents, licensees, contractors,
customers, or any other parties coming onto or into the Subleased Premises for any reason, to cause
the use, generation, release, manufacture, production, processing, storage, or disposal of any
Hazardous Substances on or from the Subleased
3
Premises. Further, Subtenant shall not cause any hazardous condition to occur on the Subleased
Premises or conduct any business or operations on the Subleased Premises which are reasonably
deemed by Sublandlord’s or Landlord’s insurance carriers to constitute a material increase in the
risks initially insured as they pertain to hazardous materials or hazardous activities, or which
would increase Landlord’s or Sublandlord’s property or liability insurance premiums. In the event
Subtenant breaches the provisions of this Paragraph 11, Subtenant shall, in accordance with
applicable laws, promptly remove the Hazardous Substances and cease the business or operations
which are hazardous. In the event Subtenant shall fail to comply with the provisions of this
Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxxxxx, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to it in this
Sublease, shall have the right to immediately terminate this Sublease and to take all actions
legally permissible to remove Subtenant and its property from the Premises. The obligations of this
Paragraph 11 are in addition to any provision in the Master Lease concerning environmental
conditions or issues. It is expressly agreed by Subtenant that its indemnification obligations
under this Sublease, and all the terms and conditions thereof pursuant to Paragraph 19, apply to
this Paragraph 11.
12. Surrender of Premises. Subtenant shall immediately vacate and surrender the Subleased
Premises on the expiration or any earlier termination date of this Sublease, and shall
simultaneously remove all of Subtenant’s furnishings, equipment, and all other personal property
from the Subleased Premises. Subtenant also shall comply with all provisions of the Master Lease
with respect to the surrender of the Subleased Premises upon expiration of the Master Lease. If
Subtenant fails to remove any of its property within five (5) days thereafter, Sublandlord shall
have the right, in Sublandlord’s sole discretion, to deem all or any part of such property
abandoned and to remove, store, or dispose of Subtenant’s property in any manner it elects without
any obligation to account for the value of such property or to make any payment therefor to
Subtenant. If Subtenant shall fail to vacate the Subleased Premises or remove any of its property
as described above, then Sublandlord, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have
pursuant to the Master Lease, this Sublease, or at law or in equity, shall have the right to
receive and Subtenant shall pay as penalty and not as Rent, an amount equal to 200% of the Base
Rent due for each day after the expiration or termination date that Subtenant and/or its property
remains in the Subleased Premises.
13. Incorporation of Master Lease.
a. This Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Master Lease. Except as may be inconsistent
with the terms and provisions hereof, the terms and provisions of the Master Lease shall be
applicable to this Sublease and shall be incorporated into this Sublease as if Sublandlord was the
lessor under the Master Lease and Subtenant was the lessee under the Master Lease. Where reasonably
necessary, the terms of the Master Lease as incorporated into this Sublease shall be construed in
light of the fact that Sublandlord (unlike Landlord) does not own a fee interest in the Subleased
Premises but only a leasehold interest under the Master Lease.
b. Landlord’s performance in accordance with the Master Lease shall fulfill the equivalent
obligation of Sublandlord hereunder. As between the parties hereto, if the terms of this Sublease
conflict with the terms of the Master Lease, then the terms of this Sublease shall control.
Subtenant shall perform and observe all the obligations, covenants, indemnities, and conditions
contained in the Master Lease on Sublandlord’s part that are incorporated herein above by
reference. Subtenant will not cause or allow to be caused any default under the Master Lease.
Subtenant hereby indemnifies and holds Sublandlord harmless from and against any claim, loss,
damage, expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) or liability
arising under the Master Lease, from or related to Subtenant’s failure to perform Subtenant’s
obligations under this Sublease, or arising from a default under the Master Lease caused by
Subtenant, including without limitation those obligations of Sublandlord pursuant to the Master
Lease which are incorporated herein by reference. Subtenant acknowledges that it has received and
reviewed the Master Lease, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Subtenant is not
relying on, and Sublandlord has made no representations regarding, the interpretation of the terms
of the Master Lease.
c. Sublandlord shall be entitled to the same rights, privileges, options, and remedies
available to Landlord under the Master Lease and such rights, privileges, options and remedies are
4
hereby incorporated in this Sublease. Subtenant acknowledges that it is bound by the same
responsibilities, limitations, and duties of the tenant under the Master Lease and that such
responsibilities, limitations, and duties are hereby incorporated in this Sublease.
14. Option to Renew or Extend Master Lease. Sublandlord shall retain all right, and
Subtenant shall have no right, to exercise any renewal, expansion, refusal, contraction,
termination, preferential or other rights contained in the Master Lease to increase or decrease the
size of the Premises or the Subleased Premises, extend or shorten the term of the Master Lease, or
terminate the Master Lease.
15. Partial Lease Provisions.
a. Allocation of Rent. To the extent any charges payable under the Master Lease, and
payable under this Sublease, are payable on a per square foot basis, such as Additional Rent, then
such charges shall also be allocated to the Subleased Premises on a per square foot basis.
b. Parking. Subtenant shall be entitled to use eighty-five (85) of the parking spaces
to which Sublandlord is entitled under the Master Lease, at no additional cost.
c. Signs. Sublandlord shall retain all signage and building naming rights contained in
the Master Lease. Subtenant shall have no right to install any signs on the exterior of the
Subleased Premises, the Premises, or the building in which the Premises is located. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and subject to the prior written approval of both Landlord and Sublandlord, in their
respective sole and absolute discretion, Subtenant may install, at Subtenant’s sole cost and
expense, standard directory and suite signage.
d. Elevator Lobby. Subject to the prior written approval of both Landlord and
Sublandlord, in their respective sole and absolute discretion, Subtenant may utilize the elevator
lobby of the Building on floor 2 as its reception area; provided, however, that such use shall not
interfere with or otherwise disturb the access of other tenants in the Building to their respective
leased premises or interrupt the business operations of other tenants in the Building.
16. Insurance.
a. As of the Effective Date, Subtenant shall provide and keep in force during the Term
commercial general liability insurance with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence
covering the Subleased Premises, Fire Legal Liability limits of $300,000; Property insurance
covering subtenants betterments and improvements and personal property; along with any other
insurance required to be maintained by the tenant under the Master Lease. The policies shall name
Landlord and Sublandlord as additional insureds and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days
written notice before cancellation or material change in the policy. Subtenants policies shall
waive all rights of subrogation against Landlord and Sublandlord and shall be primary insurance and
not excess over any liability insurance provided by Landlord or Sublandlord. Subtenant shall
provide to Sublandlord a certificate of insurance as evidence of coverage prior to Subtenant’s
occupancy of the Premises and shall promptly furnish Sublandlord with a renewal certificate on or
before the date of the expiration of the policy then in effect.
b. Anything in this Sublease to the contrary notwithstanding, Sublandlord and Subtenant each
hereby waives any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or cause-of-action, against each other,
and the Landlord, and their agents (including partners, both general and limited), officers,
directors, shareholders, customers, invitees, or employees, for any loss or damage that may occur
to the Subleased Premises, the Premises, and the building in which they are located, or any
improvements thereto, or any improvements thereon, or any personal property of such party therein,
by reason of fire, the elements or any other cause which is actually insured against by Landlord,
Sublandlord or Subtenant, as the case may be, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence
of the other party hereto, its agents, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, customers,
invitees or employees, and covenants that no insurer shall hold any right of subrogation against
such other party.

17. Subtenant Renewal, Provided that (i) the Master Lease has not been terminated, (ii) this
Sublease has not been terminated, (iii) an event of default has not occurred and (iv) Sublandlord
has granted its consent thereto, which consent may be withheld in Sublandlord’s sole and absolute
discretion, Subtenant is hereby granted the right (“Subtenant’s Renewal Right”) to extend the Term
of this lease until April 30, 2013, which is the termination date as set forth in the Master Lease
(the “Termination Date”) (such that Subtenant’s sublease of the Subleased Premises will be
coterminous with Sublandlord’s lease of the Premises). In the event Subtenant desires to exercise
the Subtenant Renewal Right, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord one hundred eighty (180) days
prior written notice of its intent to renew. If Subtenant timely delivers the such notice to
Sublandlord, Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant no later than one hundred twenty (120) days
prior written notice of whether Sublandlord will consent to the exercise of Subtenant’s Renewal
Right. The “Renewal Term” shall commence on the day after the Expiration Date and shall
expire on the Termination Date, subject to Paragraph 2 above. Subtenant shall pay Base Rent during
such Renewal Term in accordance with the following schedule:
Base Rent | Payment per month for | |||||||
Period | rate | applicable period | ||||||
November 1, 2010 - February 28, 2011 |
$ | 20.90 | $ | 36,833.00 | ||||

March 1, 2012 - April 30, 2013 |
$ | 21.85 | $ | 38,507.00 |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to obligate
Sublandlord to consent to any such renewal. In the event Sublandlord does not consent to
Subtenant’s exercise to Subtenant Renewal Right, the Term shall expire on the Expiration Date in
accordance with Paragraph 2 above and Subtenant shall vacate the premises in accordance with
Paragraph 12 above.
18. Furniture and Equipment.
a. Sublandlord hereby grants to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby accepts from Sublandlord, a
license to use all those items of furniture (the “Furniture”) belonging to Sublandlord listed on
Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof until the earlier to occur of (i) the
termination of this Sublease or (ii) the expiration of the Term or the Renewal Term, if applicable.
In the event this Sublease is not otherwise terminated, and so long as an event of default has not
occurred, upon the expiration of the Term or the Renewal Term, as applicable, Subtenant shall have
the right to purchase those items of furniture listed on Exhibit C attached hereto and made
a part hereof from Sublandlord for a purchase price of One and No/100 Dollar ($1.00).
b. FOR SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($7,500.00) AND OTHER GOOD AND VALUABLE
CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and confessed,
Sublandlord does hereby bargain, assign, and sell to Subtenant all Sublandlord’s right, title and
interest in and to the IT equipment (the
“Equipment”) listed on Exhibit D attached hereto
and made a part hereof. Subtenant shall pay any federal, state or local sales, use, or value added
tax which may be due as a result of this transfer.

CONVEYED “AS IS”, “WHERE IS”, “WITH ALL FAULTS” THAT MAY EXIST AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE, AND WITH
ANY AND ALL LATENT AND PATENT DEFECTS. SUBLANDLORD SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES,
WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE FURNITURE AND THE
EQUIPMENT, AND SUBTENANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY IMPLIED COVENANTS. SUBLANDLORD HAS NOT MADE
AND DOES NOT HEREBY MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER WITH
RESPECT TO THE FURNITURE AND THE EQUIPMENT, THEIR CONDITION, THEIR COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, INCOME TO
BE DERIVED THEREFROM, OR EXPENSES TO BE INCURRED WITH RESPECT THERETO, THE OBLIGATIONS,
RESPONSIBILITIES OR LIABILITIES RELATING TO THE
6
FURNITURE AND THE EQUIPMENT, OR ANY OTHER MATTER OR THING RELATING TO OR AFFECTING THE FURNITURE
AND THE EQUIPMENT.
19. Indemnification. Subtenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, Sublandlord,
their affiliates and subsidiaries, and their employees, agents, successors, assigns, officers and
directors from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages or penalties
arising in connection with (i) Subtenant’s use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises, (ii) the
conduct of Subtenant’s business or from any activity, work or things done, permitted or suffered by
Subtenant in or upon the Subleased Premises, (iii) the Furniture and the Equipment or (iv) any

shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused solely by the negligence or intentional acts of
Landlord, Sublandlord, or their respective employees, agents, or contractors occurring at the
Subleased Premises. The provisions of this Paragraph 19 shall survive the expiration or sooner
termination of this Sublease.
20. Default. Should Subtenant fail to pay any Rent due or any other sum required to be paid
by Subtenant to Sublandlord hereunder, or should Subtenant default in the performance of any other
covenant or condition on Subtenant’s part to be performed and such default, if with respect to
Rent, is not cured within the shorter of (a) five (5) business days after Subtenant’s receipt of
written notice from Sublandlord or within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice with
respect to other defaults in performance, specifying the nature of such alleged default, or (b) the
period required under the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall have the right to terminate this Sublease
and shall have all such other rights and remedies as are afforded at law or in equity to a landlord
upon default by a tenant, and Subtenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Sublandlord from all
damages resulting from such default; provided, however, if the nature of the default (other than
failure to pay Rent) is such that it cannot be cured within such period, then Subtenant shall not
be deemed to be in default if Subtenant shall have commenced the cure of such default within such
period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion except to the extent such
failure constitutes a default under the Master Lease. The indemnification obligation pursuant to
this Paragraph 20 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease.
21. Brokers. Except for Commercial Real Estate

hereby represents that it has not employed any broker or finder in connection with this Sublease
Agreement. Subtenant has agreed to pay Subtenant’s Broker pursuant to the terms of a separate

12. Tenant shall cause all doors to the Premises to be closed and securely locked and shall

13. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not use the name of the

the Project.

elsewhere, without in each instance the prior written approval of Landlord. The use thereof, if
permitted, shall be subject to control by Landlord to the end that others shall not be disturbed.
27. Tenant shall promptly remove all rubbish and waste from the Premises.
28. Tenant shall not exhibit, sell or offer for sale, rent or exchange in the Premises or at
the Project any article, thing or service, except those ordinarily embraced within the use of the

from the Premises or the Building and deliver a copy of such list to Landlord and procure a removal
permit from the Office of the Building authorizing Building employees to permit such articles to be

in the Building.

B-4
APPENDIX C
TENANT IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT
1. INITIAL IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord shall cause to be constructed, in a
good workmanlike manner,
the improvements (the “Initial Improvements”) in the Premises in accordance with plans and
specifications approved by Tenant and Landlord (the “Plans”), which approvals shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Initial Improvements shall be performed at the Landlord’s cost.
Landlord shall cause the Plans to be prepared by a professional architect, and mechanical and
electrical engineer(s) and based upon the space plans as shown on Appendix C-1 attached
hereto using building standard finishes. Within ten (10) business days after the later to occur of
(i) the mutual execution of the Lease or (ii) Tenant’s providing to Landlord the preliminary space
plans for the Premises and such other information reasonably required by Landlord to commence
preparation of the Plans, Landlord shall furnish the initial draft of the Plans to Tenant for
Tenant’s review and approval. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after receipt, either provide
comments to such Plans or approve the same. Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such Plans if
it does not timely provide comments on such Plans. If Tenant provides Landlord with comments to
the initial draft of the Plans, Landlord shall provide revised Plans to Tenant incorporating
Tenant’s comments within one (1) week after receipt of Tenant’s comments. Tenant shall, within
five (5) business days after receipt, then either provide comments to such revised Plans or
approve such Plans. Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such revised Plans if Tenant does not
timely provide comments on such Plans. The process described above shall be repeated, if
necessary, until the Plans have been finally approved by Tenant and Landlord; provided, however,
if Landlord and Tenant cannot, despite using good faith efforts, reach agreement with respect to
the Plans by June 15, 2005, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease upon delivery
of written notice to the other, whereupon (i) Landlord shall return to Tenant any prepaid Rent and
(ii) the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Lease. Landlord hereby
agrees that the Plans for the Initial Improvements shall comply with all applicable Governmental
Requirements.
Once the Plans have been finally approved, Landlord will promptly prepare all necessary
construction drawings for the construction of the Initial Improvements. Upon the completion of
such construction drawings, Landlord shall submit the same to Tenant for its approval. Tenant
shall, within five (5) days after receipt, then either provide comments to such drawings or
approve the same. Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such drawings if Tenant does not timely
provide comments thereto. If Tenant timely provides any comments to such drawings, Landlord shall
revise such drawings and resubmit the same to Tenant for its review and approval. Until such time
as Landlord and Tenant mutually approve such construction drawings, the process described above
shall be repeated as reasonably necessary, and both Landlord and Tenant agree to act in good faith
in order to derive mutually acceptable construction drawings for the construction of the Initial
Improvements.
Once the Plans and all construction drawings relative thereto have been finalized and
approved by Tenant and Landlord, Landlord shall promptly (i) submit the same to the appropriate
governmental authorities for the issuance of all necessary building permits, and (ii) select a
contractor to perform the construction of the Initial Improvements. Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Improvements to be substantially completed,
except for
C-1
mechanical adjustments or minor details of construction (“Punch List Items”), on or before July 1,
2005 (the “Intended Completion Date”), subject to Tenant Delay (as defined in Section 4
hereof) and Force Majeure.
2. CHANGE ORDERS. If, prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall require improvements or
changes (individually or collectively, “Change Orders”) to the Premises in addition to,
revision of, or substitution for the Initial Improvements, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord for its
approval plans and specifications for such Change Orders. If Landlord does not approve of the plans
for Change Orders, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the revisions required. Tenant shall revise and
redeliver the plans and specifications to Landlord within five (5) business days of Landlord’s
advice or Tenant shall be deemed to have abandoned its request for such Change Orders. Tenant shall
pay for all preparations and revisions of plans and specifications, and the construction of all
Change Orders.
3. TURN KEY. Landlord shall complete the Initial Improvements on a “turn key” basis; provided,
however, Landlord has no obligation to pay for costs of (i) Change Orders or (ii) costs associated
with cabling, telecommunications equipment, furniture, appliances and Tenant’s move into the
Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a moving allowance of
up to $355,000.00 for Tenant’s moving expenses, which allowance shall be provided to Tenant within
ten (10) days after Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises.
4. COMMENCEMENT DATE DELAY. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Commencement Date of
the Lease shall not occur prior to the date that the Initial Improvements have been substantially
completed (the “Completion Date”); provided, however, the Commencement Date shall not be
deferred to or beyond the Completion Date to the extent that any one or more of the following (a
“Tenant Delay”), has caused the Completion Date to occur after the Intended Completion
Date:
(a) Tenant’s request for Change Orders to the extent such Change Orders actually cause a
delay; or
(b) Contractor’s performance of any Change Orders, to the extent a delay results therefrom; or
(c) Tenant’s request for materials, finishes or installations requiring unusually long lead
times; or
(d) Tenant’s delay in reviewing, revising or approving plans and specifications beyond the
periods set forth herein; or
(e) Tenant’s delay in providing information critical to the normal progression of the project.
Tenant shall provide such information as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event longer than
one week after receipt of such request for information from the Landlord; or
(f) Tenant’s delay in making payments to Landlord for costs of the Change Orders; or
C-2
(g) Any other act or omission by Tenant, its agents, contractors or persons employed by
any of such persons, to the extent a delay results therefrom.
Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to notify Tenant of any circumstances or acts or
omissions of Tenant that constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder. If the Completion Date occurs after
the Intended Completion Date, and such delay has resulted from a Tenant Delay, then, for purposes
of this Lease, the Completion Date shall be deemed to be the date, determined in Landlord’s sole
discretion, on which the Initial Improvements would have been substantially completed but for any
Tenant Delay. For purposes hereof, the Initial Improvements shall be deemed to be “substantially
completed” at such time as Landlord has certified to Tenant that (i) Landlord has completed the
Initial Improvements in substantial conformance with the Plans, subject only to Punch List Items,
(ii) Landlord has tendered possession of the Premises to Tenant, and (iii) Landlord has obtained
any required certificates of occupancy necessary to permit Tenant to occupy the Premises.
Landlord shall complete Punch List Items within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date,
and, for a period of one (1) year after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall promptly repair or
correct any latent defects in the Initial Improvements, provided that Tenant gives Landlord
written notice thereof within said one-year period.
5. ACCESS BY TENANT PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF TERM. Landlord at its discretion may permit
Tenant and its agents to enter the Premises prior to the Completion Date to prepare the Premises
for Tenant’s use and occupancy. Any such permission shall constitute a license only, conditioned
upon Tenant’s:
(a) working in harmony with Landlord and Landlord’s agents, contractors, workmen, mechanics
and suppliers and with other tenants and occupants of the Building;
(b) obtaining in advance Landlord’s approval of the contractors proposed to be used by Tenant
and depositing with Landlord in advance of any work the contractor’s statement of the scope of work
to be performed (or a copy of its construction contract with Tenant) and the form of lien waivers
intended to be utilized by the contractor and all subcontractors and suppliers of material; and
(c) furnishing Landlord with such insurance as Landlord may require against liabilities which
may arise out of such entry.
Landlord shall have the right to withdraw such license for any reason upon twenty-four (24)
hours’ written notice to Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable in any way for any injury, loss or
damage which may occur to any of Tenant’s property or installations in the Premises prior to the
Commencement Date. Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord from all
liabilities, costs, damages, fees and expenses arising out of the activities of Tenant or its
agents, contractors, suppliers or workmen in the Premises or the Building. Any entry and
occupation permitted under this Section shall be governed by Section 5 and all other terms of the
Lease.
6. MISCELLANEOUS. Terms used in this Appendix C shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Lease. The terms of this Appendix C are subject to the terms of the Lease.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS
1. EXTENSION OPTION. Subject to Subsection B below, Tenant may at its option extend the Term of
this Lease for two (2) periods of five (5) years each (each, a “Renewal Term”). Each Renewal Term
shall be upon the same terms contained in this Lease excluding Appendix C of this Lease and except
for the payment of Base Rent during the Renewal Term; and any reference in the Lease to the “Term”
of the Lease shall be deemed to include each Renewal Term and apply thereto, unless it is expressly
provided otherwise. Tenant shall have no additional extension options.
A. The Base Rent during each Renewal Term shall be the Market Rate (defined hereinafter) for
such space for a term commencing on the first day of the Renewal Term. “Market Rate” shall mean the
then prevailing market rate for a comparable term commencing on the first day of the Renewal Term
for tenants of comparable size for comparable space (giving due consideration to existing tenant
improvements) in the Building and other first class office buildings in the vicinity of the
Building, as reasonably determined by Landlord.
B. To exercise any option, Tenant must deliver a binding notice to Landlord not less than nine
(9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term of this Lease. Thereafter, the Market Rate
for the Renewal Term shall be calculated pursuant to Subsection C below and Landlord shall inform
Tenant of the Market Rate. Such calculations shall be final and shall not be recalculated at the
actual commencement of the Renewal Term. If Tenant fails to timely give its notice of exercise,
Tenant will be deemed to have waived its option to extend.
C. Market Rate shall be determined as follows:
(i) If Tenant provides Landlord with its binding notice of exercise pursuant to
Subsection B above, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, Landlord shall
calculate and inform Tenant of the Market Rate. If Tenant rejects the Market Rate as
calculated by Landlord, Tenant shall inform Landlord of its rejection within ten (10) days
after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s calculation, and Landlord and Tenant shall commence
negotiations to agree upon the Market Rate. If Tenant fails to timely reject Landlord’s
calculation of the Market Rate it will be deemed to have accepted such calculation. If
Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s
receipt of Tenant’s notice of rejection, then the Market Rate shall be determined in
accordance with (ii) below.
(ii) If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement on the Market Rate within
said fifteen (15) day period, then within five (5) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant
shall each simultaneously submit to the other in a sealed envelope its good faith estimate
of the Market Rate. If the higher of such estimates is not more than one hundred five
percent (105%) of the lower, then the Market Rate shall be the average of the two.
Otherwise, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with (iii) and (iv)
below.
F-1
(iii) Within seven (7) days after the exchange of estimates, the parties shall select
as an arbitrator an independent MAI appraiser with at least ten (10) years of experience in
appraising office space in the metropolitan area in which the Project is located (a
“Qualified Appraiser”). If the parties cannot agree on a Qualified Appraiser, then within a
second period of seven (7) days, each shall select a Qualified Appraiser and within ten
(10) days thereafter the two appointed Qualified Appraisers shall select a third Qualified
Appraiser and the third Qualified Appraiser shall be the sole arbitrator. If one party
shall fail to select a Qualified Appraiser within the second seven (7) day period, then the
Qualified Appraiser chosen by the other party shall be the sole arbitrator.
(iv) Within twenty-one (21) days after submission of the matter to the arbitrator,
the arbitrator shall determine the Market Rate by choosing whichever of the estimates
submitted by Landlord and Tenant the arbitrator judges to be more accurate. The arbitrator
shall notify Landlord and Tenant of its decision, which shall be final and binding. If the
arbitrator believes that expert advice would materially assist him, the arbitrator may
retain one or more qualified persons to provide expert advice. The fees of the arbitrator
and the expenses of the arbitration proceeding, including the fees of any expert witnesses
retained by the arbitrator, shall be paid by the party whose estimate is not selected.
Each party shall pay the fees of its respective counsel and the fees of any witness called
by that party.
D. Tenant’s option to extend this Lease is subject to the conditions that: (i) on the date
that Tenant delivers its binding notice exercising an option to extend, Tenant is not in default
under this Lease after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, and (ii) except
to a Permitted Transferee, Tenant shall not have assigned the Lease, or sublet any portion of the
Premises under a sublease which is effective at any time during the final twelve (12) months of
the initial Term.
2. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Subject to Subsection B below, and subject to any renewal options of
any current tenant in the Building (a “Prior Tenant”), Landlord hereby grants to Tenant for the
Term of the Lease a recurring right of first refusal to lease the portion of the first (1st) floor
of the Building immediately contiguous to the portion of the original Premises on the first (1st)
floor (collectively, the “RFR Space”), to be exercised in accordance with Subsection A below.
A. In the event Landlord receives a bona fide offer or proposal from a third party to lease
all or a portion of the RFR Space acceptable to Landlord, which may be evidenced by a written
proposal from a prospective tenant detailing all substantive lease terms, Landlord shall so
notify Tenant (“Landlord’s RFR Notice”), identifying the available RFR Space and setting forth
the business terms of such offer or proposal. Tenant shall notify Landlord within five (5)
business days of receipt of Landlord’s RFR Notice whether it desires to lease such RFR Space on
the terms set forth in Landlord’s RFR Notice. If Tenant does not notify Landlord within said

applicable codes, ordinances, statutes, rules and regulations, including any action or rule
of any landmark and/or historical commission having jurisdiction;
(iii) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain and comply with all
consents, approvals and permits necessary from all governmental and quasi-governmental
authorities and landmark and/or historical commissions having jurisdiction;
(iv) Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall insure the Sign as part of its

associated with creating, designing, manufacturing, installing,
cleaning, maintaining, repairing and replacing (if necessary) the Sign; and
(ii) Be permitted to illuminate the Sign; provided, however, that Tenant pays all
costs of such illumination, which costs shall include, without limitation, the
installation, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of bulbs and ballasts
(“Lighting Costs”). If any of the Lighting Costs are invoiced to Landlord, such
costs shall become immediately due upon invoice to Tenant therefor
from Landlord.
D. In the event that Tenant:
(i) Assigns the Lease (except as may be permitted under Paragraph 17G of the Lease);
or
(ii) Is in default of the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods;
Then, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, Landlord may, but is not required
to, terminate Tenant’s rights and privileges pursuant to this Section II and remove the Sign from

cost and expense, remove the Sign and restore and repair all parts of the Building
affected by the installation or removal of the Sign to the condition existing prior to
its installation or to a condition otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord; or
(ii) If Landlord does not then desire that the Sign be removed, such Sign shall
remain until such time as Landlord shall desire that it be removed, in which event
Landlord shall remove the Sign and repair and restore all damage caused by such removal,
and such removal, repair and restoration costs shall be deemed Additional Rent, due and
payable by Tenant upon invoice therefor from Landlord.
F. Tenant’s rights hereunder shall be subject to the existing signage rights of other tenants
or occupants of the Building, and Landlord shall be permitted to grant to other tenants of the
Building the right to install signage on or in the Building.
4. TERMINATION RIGHT. To be effective on the last day of the sixtieth (60th) Lease Month
(“Termination Date”), so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant shall
have a one-time right (“Termination Right”) to terminate this Lease in its entirety by
timely providing Landlord written notice of Tenant’s exercise of such Termination Right (the
“Termination Notice”), and paying to Landlord the Termination Payment (defined below).
The Termination Notice must be
F-4
given to Landlord on or before the day which is six (6) months prior to the Termination Date. Once
exercised by Tenant, the Termination Right may not be revoked by Tenant without Landlord’s consent.
The Termination Payment must be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days following
Tenant’s receipt from Landlord of its calculation of the amount of the Termination Payment in order
for the Termination Notice to be effective. The failure of Tenant to timely give the Termination
Notice and/or pay the Termination Payment shall be deemed a waiver by Tenant of the Termination
Right.
As used herein, “Termination Payment” shall mean a cash amount equal to the sum of
the (a) six (6) month’s Rent at the rate charged immediately prior to the Termination Date,
plus (b) the aggregate of the unamortized portions (as of the Termination Date) of (i)
costs incurred by Landlord in the construction and installation of the Tenant Improvements, (ii)
leasing commissions paid by Landlord in connection with this Lease, and (iii) moving costs
provided by Landlord to Tenant, such amortization being calculated by using a straight line method
over the Term of the Lease and a eight percent (8%) per annum interest factor. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that Tenant has exercised its right to lease any RFR Space in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Termination Payment shall also include such amounts relative to the RFR
Space.
