Landlord shall make those repairs, alterations and additions, if any, to the Leased Premises described in Exhibit “D” attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes (the “Landlord’s Work”) upon the terms and conditions contained in Exhibit “D”. The parties acknowledge that as of the date of execution of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant have not yet agreed on final design, plans and specifications for Landlord’s Work. Land lord and Tenant shall diligently work in good faith to agree on the final design, plans and specifications for Landlord’s Work within a reasonable period after the Effective Date, at which time the parties shall update Exhibit “D” to this Lease to reflect the agreed upon design, plans and specifications for Landlord’s Work.

ARTICLE 3

RENTAL

(a)       Basic Rental.

(i)        Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord during the Term hereof, at Landlord’s office or to such other person or at such other place as directed from time to time by written notice to Tenant from Landlord, the Monthly Basic Rental (as set forth in Article l.C. of the Basic Lease Provisions), payable in advance on the first (1^st) day of each calendar month, without demand, setoff or deduction, and if this Lease commences or the date of expiration of this Lease occurs other than on the first (1^st) day or last day of a calendar month, the Monthly Basic Rental for such month shall be prorated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Security Deposit shall be pa id to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease, and if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, Monthly Basic Rental for the partial month commencing as of the Commencement Date shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days in such month and shall be due and payable upon the Commencement Date. Any and all amounts due and payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (other than the Monthly Basic Rental and the Security Deposit) shall be deemed “Additional Rent” and Landlord shall be entitled to exercise the same rights and remedies upon default in payment of the Additional Rent as Landlord is entitled to exercise with respect to defaults in Monthly Basic Rental payments. Basic Rental and Additional Rental are collectively referred to as “Rental.”

(ii)       Subject to the terms and conditions of this subsect ion ( ii), provided that Tenant is not then in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall be credited with the payment (meaning for clarity that zero is due from the Tenant) of Monthly Basic Rental payable with respect to the Premises for the twenty-fifth through the twenty-six months, inclusive, of the Lease Term only and for the thirty-seventy month, inclusive, of the Lease Term only (collectively, the “Basic Rental Credit”), as and when the Monthly Basic Rental for such months would be due and payable. Basic Rental Credit shall reduce the Monthly Basic Rental but will not reduce any amount of Direct Costs (hereinafter defined) or Additional Rent, during each month in which the Basic Rental Credit is otherwise applicable. Tenant understands and agrees that the foregoing Basic Rental Credit is conditioned upon Tenant’s not being in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods. Accordingly, upon the occurrence of any default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods at any time prior to the end of the fifth (5th) month of the Lease Term, Tenant shall no longer be entitled to the Basic Rental Credit set forth above and Tenant shall pay Basic Rental for the balance of the period that the Basic Rental Credit otherwise would have applied as and when the same would have become due and payable in the absence of such Basic Rental Credit. Furthermore, if the Lease is terminated due to a default by Tenant, the entire Basic Rental Credit shall be null and void and all Basic Rental not paid on account of the Basic Rental Credit (including any previously granted Basic Rental Credit) shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord.

4

(b)       Increase in Direct Costs. The term “Base Year” means the calendar year set forth in Article 1.D. of the Basic Lease Provisions. If either the Premises and/or the Project is expanded or reduced, then Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be appropriately increased or decreased, and as to the calendar year in which such change occurs, Tenant’s Proportionate Share for such calendar year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during that particular calendar year that such Tenant’s Proportionate Share was in effect. If this Lease shall terminate on any date other than the las t day of a calendar year, the additional s um payable hereunder by Tenant during the calendar year in which this Lease terminates shall be prorated on the basis of the relationship which the number of days which have elapsed from the commencement of said calendar year to and including said date on which this Lease terminates bears to three hundred sixty five (365).

(c)       Definitions. As used herein the term “Direct Costs” shall mean the sum of the following:

(i)        “Tax Costs”, which shall mean any and all real estate taxes and other similar charges on real property or improvements, assessments, water and sewer assessments le vie d against the Project, and all other charges assessed, reassessed or levied upon the Project and appurtenances thereto and the parking or other facilities thereof, or the real property thereunder (collectively the “Real Property”) or attributable thereto or on the rents or issues received or derived therefrom which are assessed, reassessed or levied by the United States, the State of Arizona or any local government authority or agency or any political subdivision thereof, and shall include Landlord’s reasonable legal fees, costs and disbursements incurred in connection with proceedings for reduction of Tax Costs or any part thereof; provided, however, if at any time after the date of this Lease the methods of taxation now prevailing shall be altered so that in lieu of or as a supplement to or a substitute for the whole or any part of any Tax Costs, there shall be assessed, reassessed or levied (a) a tax. assessment, reassessment, levy. imposition or charge wholly or partially as a capital or franchise levy or otherwise on the rents or issues derived there from, or (b) a tax, assessment. reassessment, levy (including but not limited to any municipal, state or federal levy), imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon the Real Property and imposed upon Landlord, then except to the extent such items are payable by Tenant under Article 6 below, such taxes, assessments, reassessments or levies or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included in the term “Direct Costs.” In addition, when calculating Tax Costs for the Base Year. special assessments shall only be deemed included in Tax Costs for the Base Year to the extent that such special assessments are included in Tax Costs for the applicable subsequent calendar year during the Term.

5

(ii)       “Operating Costs”, which shall mean all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with the maintenance, operation, replacement, ownership and repair of the Project, the equipment, the infra-building cabling and wiring, adjacent walks, malls and landscaped and common areas and the parking structure, areas and facilities of the Project.

In no event shall costs for any item of utilities included in Direct Costs for any year subsequent to the Base Year be less than the amount included in Direct Costs for the Base Year for such utility item. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 3, when calculating Operating Costs for the Base Year. Operating Costs shall exclude (a) increases due to extraordinary circumstances including, but not limited to, labor-related boycotts and strikes, utility rate hikes, utility conservation surcharges, or other surcharges, insurance premiums resulting from terrorism coverage, catastrophic events and/or the management of environmental risks, and (b) amortization of any capital items including, but not limited to, capital improvements, capital repairs and capital replacements (including such amortized costs where the actual improvement, repair or replacement was made in prior years).

(d)       Determination of Payment.

(i)       If for any calendar year ending or commencing within the Term, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for such calendar year exceeds Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Sections 3(d)(ii) and (iii). below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the “Excess”).

(ii)      Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Costs for the then-current calendar year shall be and the estimated Excess (the “Estimated Excess”) as calculated by comparing Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for such calendar year, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for the Base Year. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any calendar year shall not preclude Landlord from subsequently enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Excess under this Article 3, once such Estimated Excess has been determined by Landlord. If pursuant to the Estimate Statement an Estimated Excess is calculated for the then-current calendar year, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Monthly Basic Rental due, a fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current calendar year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 3(d)(ii)). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current calendar year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the Monthly Basic Rental installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12^th) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

(iii)     In addition. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of each calendar year, a statement (the “Statement”) which shall state the Direct Costs incurred or accrued for such preceding calendar year, and which shall indicate the amount, if any, of the actual Excess, if any incurred. Upon receipt of the Statement for each calendar year during the Term, if amounts paid by Tenant as Estimated Excess are less than the actual Excess as specified on the Statement. Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of monthly Basic Rental due, the full amount of the Excess for such calendar year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such calendar year as Estimated Excess. If, however, the Statement indicates that amounts paid by Tenant as Estimated Excess are greater than the actual Excess as specified on the Statement, such overpayment shall be credited against (reduce) Tenant’s next installments of Estimated Excess. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any calendar year shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights under this Article 3, once such Statement has been delivered. Even though the Term has expired or been terminated and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s actual Proportionate Share of the Direct Costs for the calendar year in which this Lease terminates, if an Excess (or a reduction) is present, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord (or Landlord shall refund to Tenant) an amount as calculated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(d). The provisions of this Section 3(d)(iii) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

8

(e)       Intentionally deleted.

(f)       Audit Right. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of a Statement by Tenant (“Review Period”), if Tenant disputes the amount set forth in the Statement, Tenant’s employees or an independent certified public accountant, designated by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord (“Review Notice”) and at reasonable times, inspect Landlord’s records at Landlord’s offices, provided that Tenant is not then in default after expiration of all applicable cure periods and provided further that Tenant and such accountant or representative shall, and each of them shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective agents and employees to, maintain all information contained in Landlord’s records in strict confidence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall only have the right to review Landlord’s records one (1) time during any twelve (12) month period. If after such inspection. but within thirty (30) days after the Review Period, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing (“Dispute Notice”) that Tenant still disputes such amounts, a certification as to the proper amount shall be made in accordance with Landlord’s standard accounting practices. at Tenant’s expense, by an independent certified public accountant selected by Landlord. Tenant’s failure to deliver the Review Notice within the Review Period or to deliver the Dispute Notice within thirty (30) days after the Review Period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s approval of such Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such Statement. If Tenant timely delivers the Review Notice and the Dispute Notice, Landlord shall cooperate in good faith with Tenant and the accountant to show Tenant and the accountant the information upon which the certification is to be based. However, if such certification by the accountant proves that the Direct Costs charged to Tenant, as set forth in the Statement were overstated by more than ten percent (10%), then the cost of the accountant and the cost of such certification shall be paid for by Landlord. provided that in no event shall Landlord be responsible for costs hereunder in excess of the amount of such overstatement. Promptly following the parties receipt of such certification, the parties shall make such appropriate payments or reimbursements, as the case may be, to each other, as are determined to be owing pursuant to such certification. Tenant agrees that this section shall be the sole method to be used by Tenant to dispute the amount of any Direct Costs payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and Tenant hereby waives any other rights at law or in equity relating thereto.

(f)       Controllable Expense Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, during all Lease Years during the Term hereof, any increases in Tenant’s pro rata share of Controllable Direct Costs shall be limited to no more than five percent (5%) per year of the prior year’s Direct Costs, on a cumulative basis. “Controllable Direct Costs” shall mean all Direct Costs except Tax Costs, utilities and insurance.

ARTICLE 4

SECURITY DEPOSIT

Tenant has deposited or concurrently herewith is depositing with Landlord the Security Deposit set forth in Article 1.F. of the Basic Lease Provisions as security for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. If Tenant materially breaches, after notice and failure to cure as provided herein, any provision of this Lease, including but not limited to the payment of rent, Landlord may use all or any part of this security deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sums in default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the amount identified above. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit in trust, segregate it or keep it separate from Landlord’s general funds, but Landlord may commingle Tenant’s Security Deposit with its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on its Security Deposit. At the expiration of the Term, and provided there exists no default by Tenant hereunder, the Security Deposit or any balance, if any thereof shall be returned to Tenant within ninety (90) days of the termination date. Landlord may retain from said Security Deposit (i) any and all amounts incurred by Landlord to cover the costs to be incurred by Landlord to remove any items required to be removed by Tenant under Section 29(b) below and to repair any damage caused by such removal (in which case any excess amount so retained by Landlord shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such removal and repair), and (ii) any and all amounts permitted by law or this Article 4.

During such holding over, Tenant shall pay in advance, monthly, Basic Rental at a rate equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the rate in effect for the last month of the Term of this Lease including but not limited to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs. Nothing contained in this Article 5 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over of the Premises by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant agrees to (i) indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all costs, loss, expense or liability, including without limitation, claims made by any succeeding tenant and real estate brokers claims and attorney’s fees and costs, and (ii) compensate Landlord for all costs, losses. expenses and/or liabilities incurred by Landlord as a result of such holdover, including without limitation, losses due to the loss of a succeeding tenancy.

As soon as reasonably practicable following mutual execution and delivery of the Lease, Landlord shall cause Landlord’s architect to prepare detailed plans and specifications for the Improvements (“Construction Documents”) based upon that certain Space Plan attached hereto as Schedule 1 (the “Plan”). Landlord shall then forward the Construction Documents, along with a reasonable description of the proposed Project-standard specifications and materials, to Tenant for Tenant’s approval.

The Construction Documents, as approved by Landlord and Tenant. may be referred to herein as the “Approved Construction Documents.” Landlord and Tenant’s approval of the Approved Construction Documents shall not be a representation or warranty of Landlord or Tenant that such drawings are adequate for any use or comply with any Law, but shall merely be the consent of Landlord and Tenant thereto. Landlord shall construct the Improvements substantially in accordance with the Approved Construction Documents. Unless specifically noted to the contrary on the Approved Construction Documents, the Improvements shall be constructed using Project-standard quantities, specifications and materials. Tenant shall make no changes or modifications to the Approved Construction Documents without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion if such change or modification would directly or indirectly delay the “Substantial Completion,” as that term is defined in Section 5.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, of the Improvements.

SECTION 2

WARRANTIES AND GUARANTIES
