the land which are designed for use in common by all Lessees of the Park and their respective
employees, agents, customers, invitees and others, and includes, by way of illustration and not
limitation, sidewalks, driveways, parking areas, landscaped areas and other areas as may be
designated by Lessor as part of the Common Areas of the Park.
ARTICLE II TERM AND POSSESSION
2.01 Term. The term of this Lease shall be for the period of years and months specified in Item E
of the Basic Lease provisions and shall begin and end on the Commencement date and Expiration Date,
respectively, specified in Item E, unless such dates are postponed as provided in Section 2.03 or
unless this Lease is terminated earlier as provided elsewhere herein.
2.02 Early Occupancy. If the Premises are ready for occupancy prior to the Commencement Date,
Lessor may, at Lessee’s request, deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee at such time, and
Lessee may occupy the Premises as a Lessee from month-to-month, subject to all the terms,
conditions and covenants of this Lease other than as to the term and the obligation to pay the
Annual Rental Adjustment. In such event, Lessee shall be responsible for payment of all utilities
associated with the Premises, but shall be entitled to a Base Rent abatement and an abatement of
CAM, Real Estate Taxes and Insurance costs for the period between the date Lessor delivers
possession of the Premises to Lessee and the Commencement Date.
2.03 Delayed Possession. If Lessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee by the
Commencement Date, this lease shall not be void or voidable, and except for the $580.00 per day
penalty commencing on June 1, 2008, provided for in Paragraph 1.01E, Lessor shall not be liable to
Lessee for any loss or damage resulting therefrom. The Commencement Date shall be postponed to the
earlier of (i) the date upon which Lessor delivers and Lessee accepts possession of the Premises or
(ii) the thirtieth (30th) day after Lessor shall have notified Lessee in writing that the Premises
are ready for occupancy. In the event of such postponement, Lessee’s obligation to pay rent shall
be postponed for a like number of days, but the Expiration Date shall be extended to equal the term
stated in 1.02 E.
3
If Lessor is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee by the Commencement Date
because Lessee has requested substantial changes in the plans and specifications or because of
other causes attributable to Lessee, then the term shall begin, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor all
rent due, as of the Commencement Date, even though Lessee has not taken possession of the Premises
by such date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessor is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to
Lessee or to notify Lessee that the Premises are ready for occupancy within thirty (30) days after
the Commencement Date, than Lessee may terminate this Lease by giving Lessor written notice to that
effect, whereupon each party shall be released from all further obligations and liability
hereunder.
2.04 Lessee’s Acceptance of the Premises. Upon delivery of possession of the Premises to Lessee,
Lessor shall give Lessee a letter to be signed by a representative of Lessee acknowledging (i) the
original or revised Commencement Date and Expiration Date of this Lease, and (ii) that Lessee has
accepted the Premises for occupancy and that the condition of the Premises and the Building was at
the time satisfactory and in conformity with the provisions of this Lease in all respects, except
for any defects as to which Lessee shall give written notice to Lessor within thirty (30) days
after such delivery. Lessor shall promptly thereafter correct all such defects. Lessee’s letter
shall become a part of this Lease. If Lessee takes possession of and occupies the Premises, Lessee
shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises in the manner described herein, even though said
letter has not been given to Lessor.

the exercise by Lessor of its right to re-enter the Premises without terminating this Lease, as
provided in Section 16.02, Lessee shall immediately surrender the Premises to Lessor, in
broom-clean condition and in good order, condition and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear.
Upon such expiration or termination, Lessee shall have the right to remove its property (as
described in Section 9.04), and Lessee shall promptly repair any damage caused by such removal,
failing which Lessor may restore the Premises at Lessee’s expense. Any merchandise, material or
waste left in the Premises or adjacent interior or exterior areas by Lessee after the end of the
term may be removed by Lessor without notice to Lessee, and Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor for
the cost of such removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 2.05, (i) the
condition of the Premises at surrender shall not be required to be better than the condition of the
Premises on the Commencement Date of this Lease, and (ii) Lessee shall not be required to remove
any phone and data cabling installed by Lessee.
2.06 Holding Over. In the event Lessee holds over and remains in possession of the Premises with
the consent of Lessor after the expiration of earlier termination of this Lease, Lessee shall be
deemed to hold the Premises as a Lessee from month-to-month, and all of the terms, conditions and
covenants of this Lease shall be applicable during the hold-over period, except that the Lessee
shall pay Lessor as rental for the period of such hold-over an amount equal to one and one-half
times the monthly installments of base rent payable at the time of such expiration or earlier
termination or the then prevailing rate for space of similar size and quality in Eastpoint Business
Center, whichever is greater. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no holding over by Lessee shall
operate to extend this Lease, and Lessee shall vacate and surrender the Premises to Lessor upon
Lessee’s being given thirty (30) days prior written notice from Lessor to vacate.
ARTICLE III RENT
3.01 Base Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor as base rent for the Premises the annual sum specified
in Item G of the Basic Lease Provision, payable in equal consecutive monthly installments as
specified in Item H of the Basic Lease Provisions, in advance, without deduction or offset, or
before the first day of each and every calendar month during the term of this Lease,
provided, however, that if the Commencement Date shall be a day other than the first day of a
calendar month the base rent installment for such month shall be pro-rated.
4
3.02 Late Payments. It is understood and agreed by Lessee that time is of the essence in the
payment of monthly rentals, and same are due and owing on the first day of each month. Late
payments constitute default under Article XVI, however, Lessor, at his sole option, after the tenth
(10th) day of each month, may allow Lessee to cure such default by paying the amount due, plus
interest at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/2) percent per month, plus a service charge of ten
dollars ($10.00) for each month or fraction thereof that Lessee is in default.
3.03 Automatic Draft. (i) If Lessee suffers an event of default beyond any applicable notice and
cure period in the Lease more than one (1) time in any calendar year, Lessor may, at its sole
option, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Lessee, require Lessee to promptly
execute and deliver to Lessor any documents, instruments, authorizations, or certificates required
by Lessor to give effect to an automated debiting system, whereby any or all payments of monthly
installments of Base Rent by Lessee shall be debited monthly or from time to time, as determined by
Lessor, from Lessee’s account in a bank or financial institution designated by Lessee and credited
to Lessor’s bank account as Lessor shall designate from time to time. (ii) Lessee shall promptly
pay all service fees and other charges connected therewith, including, without limitation, any
charges resulting from insufficient funds in Lessee’s bank account. (iii) In the event that Lessee
elects to designate a different bank or financial institution from which any monthly installments
of Base Rent under the Lease is automatically debited, notification of such change and the required
documents, instruments, authorizations, and certificates specified in subsection (i) must be
received by Lessor no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date such change is to become
effective. (iv) Lessee agrees that it shall remain responsible to Lessor for all payments of
monthly installments of Base Rent pursuant to the Lease, even if Lessee’s bank account is
incorrectly debited in any given month. Such Rent shall be immediately payable to Lessor upon
written demand. (v) Lessee’s failure to properly designate a bank or financial institution or to
promptly provide appropriate information in accordance with this Section shall constitute an Event
of Default.
3.04 Additional Rent. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor, as additional rent, Lessee’s share of the
expenses incurred by Lessor for the following:
A. Those services which, for the convenience of Lessor and Lessees, are to be provided by
Lessor under the terms of this Lease, but the costs of which are the responsibility of the Lessee.
Lessee agrees to pay its pro-rata share of the cost of those services. Lessee’s pro-rata share is
the percentage determined by dividing the leasable area in the Premises by the total leasable area
in Oakland 2600/2700, LLC.
B. If Lessor is required to make any capital expenditures by any city, state or federal agency
for any purposes during the term of this Lease, such expenditures by Lessor shall be at Lessor’s
expense without reimbursement from Tenant.
ARTICLE IV LESSEE FINISH IMPROVEMENTS
4.01 Improvements. Lessee finish improvements shall be made by Lessor as set out in Exhibit B to
this Lease. All such improvements shall become the property of the Lessor.
ARTICLE V USE OF PREMISES
5.01 Covenants Regarding Use. In connection with its use of the Premises, Lessee agrees to the
following:
A. Lessee shall use the Premises and conduct its business thereon for the purpose specified in
Item D of the Basic Lease Provisions in a safe, careful, reputable and lawful manner, conforming to
good practice in Lessee’s trade or industry and to reasonable recommendations of Lessor’s insurance
underwriters. Lessee agrees to fully cooperate with the Lessor and neighboring Lessees in the full
utilization of the common areas and the Premises generally to the benefit of all Lessees.
B. Lessee shall not commit, nor allow to be committed, in, on or about the Premises of the

5
C. Lessee shall not use the Premises in any manner deemed hazardous because of fire risk or
otherwise or, unless Lessor shall first consent in writing, for any purpose other than hereinbefore
stated. No hazardous substance or equipment shall be brought or kept on the Premises or adjacent
areas or stored or used herein, without the prior written consent of Lessor. If any of Lessee’s
operations produce gases, vapors, odors, smoke, residuary material or noise disturbing to Lessor or
the Lessees of Lessor’s property, Lessee will, on Lessor’s written request, forthwith cease such
operation or install ventilating or other apparatus to eliminate such disturbances. If Lessee
installs equipment which unbalances or overloads electric equipment or wiring in or about the
Premises, it shall correct such unbalanced or overloaded condition and replace equipment or wiring
thereby damaged at its own expense. If Lessee deposits grease or other substances in sewers or
drains serving the Premises, it shall have such sewers or drains cleaned at its expense as often as
Lessor considers necessary for their continuous and unrestricted operation.
D. Lessee shall not use the Premises, or allow the Premises to be used, for any purpose or in
any manner which would invalidate any policy of insurance now or hereafter carried on the Building
or increase the rate of premiums payable on any such insurance policy. Should Lessee fail to
comply with this covenant, Lessor may, at its option, require Lessee to stop engaging in such
activity or to reimburse Lessor as additional rent for any increase in premiums charged during the
term of this Lease on the insurance carried by Lessor on the Premises and attributable to the use
being made of the Premises by Lessee. Lessee agrees to provide and maintain appropriate fire
equipment as determined and recommended by the Kentucky Inspection Bureau and in accordance with
State and Municipal Fire Regulations which may be required by the Lessee’s use of the Premises.
E. Lessee shall not inscribe, paint, affix or display any signs, advertisements or notices on
the Building or in the windows of the Premises. Lessee may, at its expense, place signage on the
eyebrow of the building subject to Lessor’s review and approval.
5.02 Access to and Inspection of the Premises. Lessor, its employees, agents and any mortgagee of
the Building shall have the right to enter any part of the Premises at reasonable times with
advance notice to Lessee for the purpose of examining same, showing the same to prospective
purchasers, or mortgagees and making such repairs, alterations or improvements to the Premises or
the Building as Lessor may deem necessary or desirable. If representatives of Lessee shall not be
present at any time when such entry is necessary or permitted hereunder, Lessor, its employees and
agents may enter the Premises by means of a master or pass key or otherwise. Lessor shall incur no
liability to Lessee for such entry nor shall such entry constitute an eviction of Lessee or a
termination of this Lease or entitle the Lessee to any abatement of rent therefore. During the
last six (6) months of the Lease term, Lessor is permitted to show the Premises to prospective
lessees and to display a “for rent” sign on the exterior of the Premises.
ARTICLE VI UTILITIES AND OTHER BUILDING SERVICES
6.01 Responsibility for Utilities and Services. Lessee shall pay for gas, electricity, water, and
sewer usage on the Premises. Lessee shall bear the cost of non-capital repair and maintenance of
all mechanical and electrical systems used by Lessee on the Premises, except for damage occasioned
by any act or negligence of Lessor, its agents and employees in which event such damage shall be
promptly repaired at Lessor’s sole cost and expense. Lessee shall not be responsible for any
replacement of capital items which shall be at Lessor’s expense.
Lessee further agrees to contribute to the “Maintenance Fund” its pro-rata share of the
maintenance and repairs of the common and parking areas on said Premises, including the cleaning of
exterior windows (if any), water and sprinkler service, grass mowing, pest control, parking lot and
sidewalk cleaning and snow removal of parking lot and sidewalks, exterior lighting, etc., and to
pay for its pro-rata share within fifteen (15) days of billing. As stated in Section 3.04,
“pro-rata” shall include the gross square footage of the Premises occupied by the Lessee as the
numerator and the total square footage of the building (or complex) as the denominator, multiplied
by the total charge for the above common services.
Lessee will also pay a prorata share of any charges of CAM for Eastpoint Business Center Association.
6
6.02 Additional Services. If Lessee requests any building services in frequency, scope, quality or
quantities substantially greater than that which Lessor determines are normally required by other
Lessees in the Building, then Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to attempt to furnish Lessee with
such additional building services. The cost thereof shall be borne by Lessee, who shall reimburse
Lessor for the same as additional rent as provided in Section 3.03.
6.03 Interruption of Services. Lessee understands and acknowledges that any one or more utilities
or other building services identified may be interrupted by reason of accident, emergency or other
causes beyond Lessor’s control, or may be discontinued or diminished temporarily by Lessor or other
persons until certain repairs, alterations or improvements can be made; that Lessor does not
represent or warrant the uninterrupted availability of such utilities or building services; and
that any such interruptions shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of lessee’s right to
possession, occupancy and use of the Premises or any part thereof or render Lessor liable to Lessee
for damages by abatement of rent or otherwise or relieve Lessee from the obligation to perform its
covenants under this Lease. Provided however, if any such interruption is occasioned by any act or
negligence of the Lessor, its agents or employees, then in which event such damage shall be
promptly repaired at Lessor’s sole cost and expense.
ARTICLE VII PARKING

destruction and to restore the Premises as nearly as practicable to their condition immediately
preceding such damage or destruction. If the Premises cannot reasonably be restored within 90
working days, then Lessor may, but shall not be required to, restore the Premises in accordance
with the foregoing, and Lessor shall give Lessee prompt written notice of its decision. If Lessor
elects not to restore the Premises, then Lessee may restore the Premises, at its sole cost and
expense after giving written notice of Lessor’s election not to restore the Premises. If neither
party elects to restore the Premises, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such damage or
destruction and both parties shall be released from further liability hereunder, without prejudice,

actual time required for such repairs or restoration may exceed that contemplated by the parties,
but Lessee shall be entitled to a temporary pro-rata reduction in rent.

additional improvements which Lessee may construct on the Premises. Lessor shall pay all of the
yearly premiums due upon said policy, and Lessee shall contribute as part of the maintenance fund
its pro-rata share of such insurance coverage. If any alterations or improvements made by Lessee
result in an increase in the premiums charged during the term of this Lease on the casualty
insurance carried by Lessor on the Building, then the cost of such increase in insurance premiums
shall be borne by Lessee, who shall be separately billed therefore and shall reimburse Lessor for
the same as additional rent.
9.03 Waiver of Subrogation. Lessor and Lessee each agree to cause to be included in their
respective policies of fire and extended coverage insurance the agreement of the issuer thereof
that said policies shall not be invalidated by a waiver of claim by the insured against the Lessor
or Lessee as the case may be, and each will furnish evidence thereof to the other. In addition to
any other waiver herein, Lessor and Lessee each hereby waive any claim against the other for any
loss resulting from any cause including the negligence of the other to the extent of the insurance
proceeds available therefore.

Lease. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, if any part of the Premises are then assigned

option, collect directly from the assignee or sublessee all rent becoming due to Lessor by reason

CapitalSource has acquired a first priority lien in certain collateral defined on Schedule
1 attached hereto (the “Collateral”). The foregoing lien shall be referred to herein as the
“CapitalSource Lien.” Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that as of the date of this Consent
and Estoppel, it holds no security interest in the Collateral nor does it hold any lien (or have
any intention to acquire a lien) covering all or any portion of the Collateral. Capitalized terms
used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan
Agreement.
At the request of Tenant and CapitalSource, Landlord hereby represents and warrants to and
covenants in favor of CapitalSource, its heirs, successors and assigns, that as of the date hereof:
(a) the Lease represents the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the
Premises and has not been modified, supplemented or amended in any way and is in full force and
effect; (b) current monthly rental payments under the Lease are $0; (c) the current term under the
Lease is scheduled to expire

, with no options to renew; (d) to the best of Landlord’s
knowledge, Tenant is not in default in the payment of any rent, additional rent or other charges
under the Lease, nor in the performance of any other obligation of Tenant under the Lease; (e)
Tenant has not granted Landlord any lien or security interest in any property or assets of Tenant,
including, without limitation, the Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired; and (f) in
the enforcement of the rights of CapitalSource, its successors and assigns, any part or all of the
Collateral, including without limitation any books and records related thereto (the “Books and
Records”), may be removed by CapitalSource or its agent or representative from the Premises and
upon removal shall be free and clear of any and all claims and liens of Landlord, whether in law,
contract or equity, of Landlord thereto; provided, however, that (i) in the event
Landlord terminates the Lease, CapitalSource shall be allowed reasonable access, upon at least one
(1) days’ prior notice to Landlord, of entry into or onto the Premises for a period of thirty (30)
days following the Termination Date (as defined below) in order to exam, copy and remove the Books
and Records and to remove the Collateral in a manner that does not interfere with the operations of
Landlord or for only so long as necessary for CapitalSource to remove the Collateral or conclude
its examination of and copying of the Books and Records without thereby assuming the Lease or
incurring any other obligations of Tenant; (ii) CapitalSource shall promptly repair any and all
damage to the Premises, if any, caused by CapitalSource or its agents or representatives resulting
from the removal of Collateral; and (iii) CapitalSource shall conduct the removal in a reasonable
fashion and at a reasonable time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
CapitalSource shall be allowed reasonable access at any time during the term of the Lease (and any
extensions thereof) to review the Books and Records for the purpose of examining and copying (all
at CapitalSource’s expense) the Books and Records.
Landlord agrees to provide CapitalSource with a copy of any notice of a breach, default or an
event of default under the Lease (“Default Notice”) simultaneously with the delivery of same to
Tenant at the following address (“Notice Address”):

Upon receipt of such Default Notice, CapitalSource shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to cure such breach, default or event of default within twenty (20) days after receipt
of such Default Notice. Any payment made or act done by CapitalSource to cure any such default
shall not constitute an assumption of the Lease or any obligations of Tenant.
In addition to the foregoing, Landlord agrees to deliver to CapitalSource written notice of
Landlord’s intent to exercise any of its remedies under the Lease (“Termination Notice”) at the
Notice Address no less than sixty (60) days’ prior to the exercise of such remedies and which
Termination Notice shall specify the date of termination of the Lease (the “Termination Date”).
Landlord subordinates to the rights of CapitalSource each and every security interest, lien or
other right which Landlord now has, or may hereafter have, arising under statute, by contract or
otherwise, to levy or distrain upon for rent, in arrears, in advance, or both, or to claim or
assert any title or interest in and to the Collateral including any Books and Records;
provided, that, Landlord shall not exercise any rights or remedies with respect to
any of the Collateral until all liabilities owing by Tenant to CapitalSource shall have been fully
repaid and the financing agreements among Tenant, the other borrowers named in the Loan Agreement
and CapitalSource have been terminated.
Landlord acknowledges, understands and agrees that CapitalSource, at any time and from time to
time, may change or amend CapitalSource’s financial agreements with Tenant (including without
limitation the Loan Agreement) without the consent of or notice to Landlord without incurring
responsibility to Landlord and without impairing or releasing any of CapitalSource’s rights or any
of the obligations of Landlord under this Consent and Estoppel, and provided further that no such
change shall modify the obligations of the Landlord hereunder. This Consent and Estoppel shall be
binding upon Landlord, its heirs, successors and assigns.
