2.1 Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant the Premises, but excluding the Common Area (as herein defined) and any other portion of the Building, the Land, Property and/or the Project. Tenant (i) accepts the Premises “AS-IS,” except as may be expressly set forth in the Work Letter, (ii) acknowledges that the Premises are acceptable for Tenant’s use and that neither Landlord nor any broker or agent has made, or shall be deemed to have made, any representations or warranties in connection with the Premises or their fitness for Tenant’s use or compliance with Applicable Laws (as herein defined) and (iii) waives all claims of defect in the Premises and any implied warranty that the Premises are suitable for Tenant’s intended purposes. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the area of the Premises set forth in the Basic Lease Information is approximate only, and Tenant accepts and agrees to be bound by such figure for all purposes in this Lease.

2.2 Use. The Premises shall be used only for the Permitted Use and for no other uses without Landlord’s written consent. Tenant’s use of the Premises shall be in compliance with and subject to all applicable laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, zoning, rules, regulations, conditions of approval and requirements of all federal, state, county, municipal and governmental authorities and administrative or judicial orders or decrees and all permits, licenses, approvals and other entitlements issued by governmental entities, and rules of common law, relating to or affecting the Property, the Premises or the Building or the use or operation thereof, whether now existing or hereafter enacted, including, without limitation ‘the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 USC 12111 et seq. (the “ADA”) as the same may be amended from time to time, all Environmental Laws (as defined in Section 15.1), and any covenants, conditions and restrictions encumbering the Land, Property and/or the Project (“CC&Rs”) or any supplement thereto recorded in any official or public records with respect to the Property and/or the Project or any portion thereof (collectively, “Applicable Laws”). Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining any permit, business license, or other permits or licenses required by any governmental agency permitting Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises and for performing, at Tenant’s sole cost, all modifications or additions to the Premises or the Common Areas in order to be in ADA compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall have no obligation to bring the Premises or Common Areas into compliance with ADA. If a change to the Common Areas or the Building becomes required under Applicable Law (or if any such requirement is enforced) as a result of any Alterations (herein defined) made to the Premises, the installation of any trade fixture in the Premises, any particular use of the Premises other than the Permitted Use, or any breach of Tenant’s obligations

under this Lease, then Tenant, upon demand, shall (x) at Landlord’s option, either make such change at Tenant’s cost or pay Landlord the cost of making such change, and (y) pay Landlord a coordination fee equal to five percent (5%) of the cost of such change. In no event shall the Premises be used for any Prohibited Use (as defined in Exhibit C). Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit D, together with such additional rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time prescribe (“Rules and Regulations”). Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant for the non-performance of any other tenant or occupant of the Building or Project of the Rules and Regulations or for any interference or disturbance of Tenant by any other tenant or occupant. Tenant shall not commit waste, overload the floors or structure of the Building, subject the Premises, the Building, the Common Area, Property or the Project to any use which would damage the same or increase the risk of loss or violate any insurance coverage, permit any unreasonable odors, smoke, dust, gas, substances, noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, take any action which would constitute a nuisance or would disturb, obstruct or endanger any other tenants, take any action which would abrogate any warranties, use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose or conduct, or permit to be conducted, any auction upon the Premises.

3. ADJUSTMENT OF COMMENCEMENT DATE; POSSESSION.

3.1 Intentionally Omitted.

3.2 Possession. Landlord shall not be liable for a failure to deliver possession of the

Premises or any other space including as a result of the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by another party, provided, however, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain possession of any such space. In such event, the Commencement Date for the Premises, or the commencement date for such other space, as applicable, shall be postponed until the date Landlord delivers possession of such space to Tenant free from occupancy by any party. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not be permitted to take possession of or enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date without Landlord’s approval.

3.3 Early Access. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the terms of this Section 3.3, provided that this Lease has been fully executed by all parties and Tenant has delivered all prepaid rental, the Security Deposit and the insurance certificates required hereunder, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole risk, shall be permitted to occupy the Premises solely for purposes of performing the Initial Tenant’s Work mid installing furniture, equipment or other personal property. Such possession prior to the Commencement Date shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent with respect to the period of time prior to the Commencement Date during which Tenant occupies the Premises for such purposes. However, Tenant shall be liable for any separately metered utilities and services provided to Tenant during such period as described above.

4. RENT. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent, Real Property Taxes (as herein defined) and Operating Expenses (as herein defined), without notice, demand, offset or deduction, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month. All Rent and payments required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be made by Tenant payable to the entity and sent to the address Landlord designates and shall be made by good and sufficient check payable in United States of America currency or by other means acceptable to Landlord or by Electronic Fund Transfer of immediately available federal funds before 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the third month’s Base Rent (subject to Abated Base Rent), the Security Deposit, and the first monthly installment of estimated Operating Expenses. If the Term commences (or ends) on a date other than the first (or last) day of a month, Base Rent shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month. All sums other than Base Rent that Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease shall be deemed to be additional rent due hereunder (“Additional Rent”), whether or not such sums are designated Additional Rent. The term “Rent” means the Base Rent and all Additional Rent payable hereunder. The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Tenant shall have no right at any time to xxxxx, reduce, or set-off any rent due hereunder except as may be expressly provided in this Lease. If Tenant is delinquent in any monthly installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent for more than five (5) days, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such delinquent sum and such delinquent sum shall also bear interest from the date such amount was due until paid in full at the lesser of (i) fifteen percent (15%); or (ii) at the maximum rate permitted by law (“Applicable Interest Rate”). The provision for such late charge shall be in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall not be construed as a penalty.

5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance of each provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. The Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord’s damages in the case of an Event of Default by Tenant. If Tenant breaches any provision hereof, Landlord may, at its option, without limiting its remedies and without notice to Tenant, apply all or part of the Security Deposit to cure such breach and compensate Landlord for any loss or damage caused by such breach, including any damage for which recovery may be made under California Civil Code § 1951.2. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the amount that will restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. No interest shall accrue on the Security Deposit and Landlord is not required to keep the Security Deposit separate from Landlord’s own funds. The Security Deposit shall be the property of Landlord, but shall be paid to Tenant within a reasonable period of time after Tenant’s obligations under this Lease have been completely fulfilled. Landlord shall be released from any obligation with respect to the Security Deposit upon transfer of this Lease and the Premises to a person or entity assuming Landlord’s obligations under this Section.

6. UTILITIES.

6.1 Utilities. Tenant shall pay all charges for heat, water, gas, electricity, telephone, internet and any other utilities and services used on or provided to the Premises, along with any taxes, penalties, and surcharges related thereto and any maintenance and facility charges in connection with the provision of such utilities. In the event the Premises is not separately metered, Tenant shall have the option, subject to Landlord’s prior written consent and the terms of this Lease, to cause the Premises to be separately metered at Tenant’s cost and expense. If Tenant does not elect to cause the Premises to be separately metered, Tenant shall pay a reasonable proration of utilities, as determined by Landlord.

6.2 Interruption of Utilities. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any interruption in utilities or services to be provided to the Premises when such failure is caused by all or any of the following: (a) accident, casualty, breakage or repairs; (b) strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any such character; (c) governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action; (d) inability, despite the exercise of reasonable diligence, to obtain electricity, water or fuel; (e) service interruptions or any other unavailability of utilities resulting from causes beyond Landlord’s control including without limitation, any electrical power “xxxxx-out” or “black-out”; (f) act or default by Tenant or other party; or (g) any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. In addition, in the event of any such interruption in utilities or services, Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of Rent (except as expressly provided in Section 16 and Section 17 if such failure is a result of any casualty damage or Taking described therein), no eviction of Tenant shall result, and Tenant, shall not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease. In the event of any stoppage or interruption of services or utilities which are not obtained directly by Tenant, Landlord shall diligently attempt to resume such services or utilities as promptly as practicable. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any applicable existing or future law, ordinance or governmental regulation concerning constructive eviction or permitting the termination of this Lease due to an interruption, failure or inability to provide any services.

7. TAXES. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of all Real Property Taxes (as herein denied) for each full or partial calendar year during the Term in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 8 and Section 9 below. “Real Property Taxes” shall mean (a) all taxes, assessments, supplementary taxes, possessory interest taxes, levies, fees, exactions or charges and other governmental charges, together with any interest, charges, fees and penalties in connection therewith, which are assessed, levied, charged, conferred or imposed by any public authority upon the Land, the Building, the Property, the Project or any other improvements, fixtures, equipment or other property located at or on the Land, the Building, the Property, or the Project, all capital levies, franchise taxes, any excise, use, margin, transaction, sales or privilege taxes, assessments, levies or charges and other taxes assessed or imposed on Landlord upon the rents payable to Landlord under this Lease (excluding net income taxes imposed on Landlord unless such net income taxes are in substitution for any Real Property Taxes payable hereunder), including but not limited to, gross receipts taxes, assessments for special improvement districts and building improvement districts, governmental charges, fees and assessments for police, fire, traffic mitigation or other governmental service of purported benefit to the Land, Building, Property, Project or Premises, taxes and assessments levied in substitution or supplementation in whole or in part of any such taxes and assessments and the share of the Land, Building, Property, Project and Premises of any real estate taxes and assessments under any reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or similar agreement as to the Land, Building, Property, Project or Premises; (b) all personal property taxes for property that is owned by the landlord and used in connection with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Land, Building,

It is intended that this Lease be a “triple net lease,” and that the Rent to be paid hereunder by Tenant will be received by Landlord without any deduction or offset whatsoever by Tenant, foreseeable or unforeseeable, except as expressly set forth in this Lease. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord shall not be required to make any expenditure, incur any obligation, or incur any liability of any kind whatsoever in connection with this Lease or the ownership, construction, maintenance, operation or repair of the Premises, Property or the Project.

Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of the Estimated Expenses with installments of Base Rent in monthly installments of one-twelfth (1/12th) thereof on the first day of each calendar month during such year. If at any time Landlord determines that Operating Expenses and/or Real Property Taxes are projected to vary from the then Estimated Expenses, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, revise such Estimated Expenses, and Tenant’s monthly installments for the remainder of such year shall be adjusted so that by the end of such calendar year Tenant has paid to Landlord Tenant’s Share of the revised Estimated Expenses for such year.

9.2 Adjustment. “Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes Adjustment” (or “Adjustment”) shall mean the difference between Tenant’s Share of Estimated Expenses, on the one hand, and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes, collectively, on the other hand, for any calendar year. Promptly after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes for such calendar year, accompanied by a computation of the Adjustment. If Tenant’s payments for Operating Expenses are less than Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, of if Tenant’s payments of Real Property Taxes are less than Tenant’s Share of Real Property Taxes, then Tenant shall pay the difference within twenty (20) days after receipt of such statement. Tenant’s obligation to pay such amount shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. If Tenant’s payments for Operating Expenses exceed Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, or if Tenant’s payments for Real Property Taxes exceed Tenant’s Share of Real Property Taxes, then so long as an Event of Default by Tenant has not occurred Landlord shall credit such excess amount to future installments of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and/or Real Property Taxes, as the case may be, for the next calendar year (or pay to Tenant such excess in the event the Term has expired). If an Event of Default by Tenant occurs, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, credit such amount to Rent arrearages.

10. INDEMNITY AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS.

10.1 Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend (by counsel acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord’s affiliated entities, and each of their respective trustees, members, managers, principals, beneficiaries, partners, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, Mortgagees, agents, contractors, successors and assigns (individually and collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, judgments, causes of action, damages, obligations, penalties, fines, taxes, costs, liens, liabilities, losses, charges and expenses, including without limitation all attorneys’ fees and other professional fees (collectively referred to as “Losses”) which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord or any of the Indemnitees at any time during or after the Term by any third party and arising out of or in connection with (1) any Event of Default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or (2) any damages or injury occurring in the Premises, Tenant’s use of the Premises, any acts or omissions (including violations of Applicable Laws) of Tenant or any Tenant Party, the conduct of Tenant’s business, or any activity, work or things done, permitted or suffered by

Tenant or any Tenant Party in or about the Premises, the Building, the Common Area, the Property or other portions of the Project, except to the extent caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Landlord reserves the right to retain counsel for its defense, in which case Tenant shall be responsible for the costs of such defense. The obligations of Tenant under this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising prior to such termination.

10.2 Waiver of Claims. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of illness or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises, the Building, the Land, the Common Area or other portions of the Property or Project arising from any cause and all risk of damage to property including, but not limited to, Tenant’s Property and all Alterations in, upon or about the Premises, the Building, the Land, the Common Area or other portions of the Property arising from any cause and Tenant hereby expressly releases Landlord and the Indemnities and waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord and the Indemnities provided, however, subject to Section 11.3.5, the foregoing release and waiver shall not apply to the extent such claims are caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Neither the written consent by Landlord to the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises, nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all Environmental Laws, shall excuse Tenant from Tenant’s obligation of indemnification pursuant hereto. Tenant’s obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Neither the written consent by Landlord to the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises, nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all Environmental Laws, shall excuse Tenant from Tenant’s obligation of indemnification pursuant hereto.

Within ten (10) days following receipt by Tenant of a written request therefore from Landlord (which request shall not be made more often than annually), Tenant shall disclose to Landlord in writing the names and amounts of all Hazardous Materials, or any combination thereof, which were stored, generated, used or disposed of on, under or about the Premises for the twelve (12) month period prior to and after each such request, or which Tenant intends to store, generate, use or dispose of on, under or about the Premises. At Landlord’s option, Tenant’s disclosure obligation under this Subparagraph shall include the requirement that Tenant update, execute and deliver to Landlord the Survey Form, as the same may be modified by Landlord from time to time.

In the 90 days prior to the expiration or termination of the Lease, and for up to 90 days after the late to occur of: (i) Tenant’s full surrender to Landlord of exclusive possession of the Property; and (ii) the termination of this Lease, Landlord may have an environmental assessment of the Property performed. Tenant shall perform, at its sole cost and expense, any clean-up or remedial work recommended by the consultant performing such assessment which is necessary to remove, mitigate or remediate any Hazardous Materials and/or contamination of the Property caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Parties. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 15.4 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

16. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION. If at any time during the Term all or a portion of the Premises are damaged by a fire or other casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant within sixty (60) days after Landlord becomes aware of such damage as to the amount of time Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to restore the Premises. If the restoration time is estimated to exceed nine (9) months from the issuance of all permits, subject to extensions for Force Majeure, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease and if such restoration period is greater than twelve (12) months from the issuance of all permits, then Tenant may, as its sole remedy, terminate this Lease on or before thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice describing the estimated restoration time that is greater than twelve (12) months. In addition, Landlord, by notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date of the fire or other casualty shall have the right to terminate this lease if: (1) any Mortgagee requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt or ground lease, or (2) a material uninsured loss to the Building or Premises occurs. If neither party either elects to terminate this Lease as provided above or if neither party has the right to terminate this Lease as provided above, then, subject to receipt of sufficient insurance proceeds, Landlord shall promptly commence to restore the Premises, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds or from Force Majeure events. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition that existed prior to the fire or other casualty, except for modifications required by Applicable Laws. Upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall assign or endorse over to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all property insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant insurance with respect to any Alterations, provided if the estimated cost to repair such Alterations exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, the excess cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s commencement of repairs. Within fifteen (15) days of demand, Tenant

shall also pay Landlord for any additional excess costs that are determined during the performance of the repairs to such Alterations. In no event shall Landlord be required to spend more for the restoration of the Premises than the proceeds received by Landlord, whether insurance proceeds or proceeds from Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience to Tenant, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from the fire or other casualty, or the repair thereof. If this Lease is not terminated by Landlord or Tenant in accordance with this section, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of any deductible or retention amount payable under the property insurance for the Building following any such casualty. Tenant at Tenant’s expense shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, or from Force Majeure events, all repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord and shall promptly re-enter the Premises and commence doing business in accordance with this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Lease if the Premises are damaged during the last year of the Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will take more than three (3) months to repair such damage. Provided no Event of Default by Tenant has occurred, Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes shall be abated for the period of repair and restoration commencing on the date of such casualty event in the proportion which the area of the Premises, if any, which is untenantable bears to the total area of the Premises. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of Tenant, and except as provided herein, Tenant waives any right to terminate this Lease by reason of damage or casualty loss. Tenant agrees that the terms of this Section 16 shall govern any damage or destruction and shall accordingly supersede any contrary statute or rule of law.

17. CONDEMNATION. If any part of the Premises or the Building should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking” or “Taken”), and the Taking would materially interfere with or impair Landlord’s ownership or operation of the Property and/or the Project (as determined by Landlord), then upon written notice by Landlord this Lease shall terminate and Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes shall be apportioned as of said date. If part of the Premises or the Building shall be Taken and such condemnation does not materially interfere with or impair Landlord’s ownership or operation of the Property and/or the Project, and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes payable hereunder during the unexpired Term shall be reduced to such extent as Landlord reasonably determines under the circumstances. In the event of any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award. Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that same shall not diminish Landlord’s award, to make a separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for moving expenses and damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures, if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant. If only a part of the Premises is subject to a Taking and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord, with reasonable diligence, will restore the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to the condition immediately prior to the Taking. Tenant agrees that the terms of this Section 17 shall govern any Taking and shall accordingly supersede any contrary statute or rule of law.

18. DEFAULT.

18.1 Event of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute an “Event of Default”:

18.1.1 Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent or any other payment required herein when due, and such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice to Tenant.

18.1.2 Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall (1) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (2) commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or of any substantial part of its property (collectively, a “proceeding for relief’); (3) become the subject of any proceeding for relief which is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of its filing or entry; or (4) die or suffer a legal disability (if Tenant, guarantor, or surety is an individual) or be dissolved or otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence (if Tenant, guarantor or surety is a corporation, partnership or other entity).

18.1.3 Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be cancelled or terminated or shall expire or shall be reduced or materially changed, except, in each case, as permitted in this Lease.

18.1.4 Tenant shall not occupy or shall vacate the Premises whether or not Tenant is in monetary or other default under this Lease. Tenant’s vacating of the Premises shall not constitute an Event of Default if, prior to vacating the Premises, Tenant has made arrangements reasonably acceptable to Landlord to (1) ensure that Tenant’s insurance for the Premises will not voided or cancelled with respect to the Premises as a result of such vacancy, (2) ensure that the Premises are secured and not subject to vandalism and (3) ensure that the Premises will be properly maintained after such vacation, including, but not limited to, keeping the heating, ventilation and cooling systems maintenance contracts required by this Lease in full force and effect.

18.1.7 Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this Lease other than those specifically referred to in this Section 18.1, and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such default shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of such default.

18.1.8 Tenant or any affiliate off Tenant is in default beyond any notice and cure period under any other lease or agreement with Landlord at the Building or the Project.

18.2 Landlord’s Remedies. Upon any Event of Default, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive), the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies (which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive) without any notice or demand:

18.2.1 Landlord may terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy it may have for possession or arrearages in Rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim of damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:

(a) The worth at the time of award of the 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 that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent 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 hereunder or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including brokerage commissions, advertising expenses, expenses of remodeling any portion of the Premises for a new tenant (whether for the same or a different use), and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; plus

(e) At Landlord’s option, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted, om time to time by Applicable Law.

As used in Sections 18.2.1(a) and (b), the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the annual “Bank Prime Loan” rate cited in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release Publication G.13(415), published on the first Tuesday of each Calendar month (or such other comparable index as Landlord shall reasonably designate if such rate ceases to be published) plus two (2) percentage points, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law. As used in Section 18.2.1(c), the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount, rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus 1%.

18.2.2 Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code § 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies hereunder, including the right to recover all Rent as it becomes due.

18.2.3 Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Section 18.2.1 and Section 18.2.2, or any law or other provision hereof), without prior demand or notice except as required by law, to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.

18.3 Efforts to Relet. Unless Landlord provides Tenant with express notice to the contrary, no re-entry, repossession, repair, maintenance, change, alteration, addition, reletting, appointment of a receiver or other action or omission by Landlord shall (a) be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, or (b) operate to release Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder. Tenant waives, for Tenant and for all those claiming by, through or under Tenant, California Civil Code § 3275, California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1174(c) and 1179, and any existing or future rights to redeem or reinstate, by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, this Lease or Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination hereof.

19. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

19.1 Tenant shall not assign, sublet, convey, mortgage, license, or otherwise transfer (“Transfer”), whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, the Premises or any part thereof without Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. A “Transfer” shall be deemed to include, without limitation, any of the following: (i) the merger of Tenant with any other entity or the indirect or direct transfer of any controlling or managing ownership or beneficial interest in Tenant, and (ii) the assignment or transfer of a substantial portion of the assets of Tenant, whether or not located at the Premises. If Tenant desires to undertake a Transfer, Tenant shall give Landlord prior written notice thereof with copies of all related documents and agreements associated with the Transfer, including without limitation, the financial statements of any proposed assignee, subtenant or transferee, at least thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the Transfer. Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ and financial consultant’s fees incurred in the review of such documentation whether or not a Transfer is consummated or approval is granted. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s approval or disapproval of any proposed Transfer within fifteen (15) business days of Landlord’s receipt of all required documentation, Landlord shall be deemed to have disapproved such Transfer. If Landlord approves of such Transfer, the parties shall enter into a consent agreement in a form reasonably designated by Landlord, and in the case of an assignment, the assignee shall assume in writing, for Landlord’s benefit, all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Any purported Transfer contrary to the provisions hereof shall be void and constitute an Event of Default. This Lease may not be assigned by operation of law. In the event of an assignment of this Lease or subletting of more than 20% of the rentable square footage of the Premises for more than 50% of the remaining Term (excluding unexercised options), Landlord shall have the right to recapture the portion of the Premises that Tenant is proposing to assign or sublease. If Landlord exercises its right to recapture, this Lease shall automatically be amended (or terminated if the entire Premises is being assigned or sublet) to delete the applicable portion of the Premises effective on the proposed effective date of the Transfer, although Landlord may require Tenant to execute a reasonable amendment or other document reflecting such reduction or termination. If Tenant receives rent or other consideration for any such Transfer in excess of the Rent, or in the case of a sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of such Rent that is fairly allocable to such portion, after appropriate adjustments to assure that all other payments required hereunder are appropriately taken into account, Tenant shall pay Landlord sixty percent (60%) of the difference between each such payment of rent or other consideration and the Rent required hereunder, after Tenant’s recovery of its actual and reasonable attorney’s fees, brokerage commissions and improvement allowances or improvement costs incurred directly in connection with such assignment or subletting, determined on a straight-line basis. Tenant shall continue to be liable as a principal and not as a guarantor or surety to the same extent as though no assignment had been made, and in no event shall any assignment or other Transfer release or relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease. Tenant shall not collaterally assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber this Lease or any of Tenant’s rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion.

19.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 19, neither Tenant nor any other person having a right to possess, use or occupy (for convenience, collectively referred to in this subsection as “Use”) the Premises shall enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement for Use of all or any portion of the Premises which provides for rental or other payment for such use based, in whole or in part, on the net income or profits derived by any person that leases, possesses, uses, or occupies all or any portion of the Premises (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales), and any such purported lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement shall be absolutely void and ineffective as a Transfer of any right or interest in the Use of all or any part of the Premises.

20. ESTOPPEL, ATTORNMENT, AND SUBORDINATION.

20.1 Estoppel. Within ten (10) days after written request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a commercially reasonable certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by Landlord (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). Without limitation, such estoppel certificate may include a certification as to the status of this Lease, the existence of any Event of Defaults and the amount of rent that is due and payable. Tenant’s failure to deliver said statement in such time period shall be an Event of Default hereunder and shall be conclusive upon Tenant that (1) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (2) there are no uncured Event of Defaults in Landlord’s performance and Tenant has no right of offset, counterclaim or deduction against Rent hereunder; and (3) no more than one month’s Base Rent has been paid in advance.

20.2 Subordination. This Lease shall unconditionally be and at all times remain subject and subordinate to all ground leases, master leases and all mortgages and deeds of trust which now or hereafter affect the Premises, the Property or the Project or Landlord’s interest therein (including any modifications, renewals or extensions thereof and all amendments thereto) (collectively, referred to as a “Mortgage”, all without the necessity of Tenant’s executing further instruments to affect such subordination. The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a “Mortgagee”. If requested, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request whatever documentation that may reasonably be required to further effect the provisions of this paragraph including a Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“SNDA”) in the form reasonably required by the applicable Mortgagee. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, (1) the obligation for commissions under Section 26.19 shall not be binding on, and will not be enforceable against, any of Owner’s Mortgagees, and (2) such commission obligation shall be unconditionally subordinate to the lien of any Mortgage, and any commissions otherwise payable under this Lease shall not be due or payable after an event of default under any such mortgage or other security interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 20.2, the holder of any such Mortgage may at any time subordinate its mortgage to this lease, without Tenant’s consent, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Mortgage without regard to their respective dates of executing, delivery or recording and in the event such Mortgagee shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease has been executed prior to the executing, delivery and recording of such Mortgage and had been assigned to such Mortgagee.

20.3 Attornment. Tenant hereby agrees that Tenant will recognize as its landlord under this Lease and shall attorn to any person succeeding to the interest of Landlord in respect of the land and the buildings governed by this Lease upon any foreclosure of any Mortgage upon such land or buildings or upon the execution of any deed in lieu of foreclosure in respect to such Mortgage. Tenant shall pay all rental payments required to be made pursuant to the terms of this Lease for the duration of the term of this Lease. Tenant’s attornment shall be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument immediately upon Mortgagee’s succeeding Landlord’s interest in this Lease and giving written notice thereof to Tenant. If requested, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming its attornment as provided for herein; provided, however, that no such Mortgagee or successor- in-interest shall be bound by any payment of Base Rent for more than one (1) month in advance, or any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the express written consent of such Mortgagee where such consent is required under applicable loan documents. Mortgagee shall not be liable for, nor subject to, any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have by reason of any act or omission of Landlord under this Lease, or for the return of any sums which Tenant may have paid to Landlord under this Lease as and for security deposits, advance rentals or otherwise, except to the extent that such sums are actually delivered by Landlord to Mortgagee. If Mortgagee, by succeeding to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, should become obligated to perform the covenants of Landlord hereunder, then, upon, any further transfer of Landlord’s interest by Mortgagee, all such obligations shall terminate as to Mortgagee.

20.4 Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagee of any Mortgage secured by the Premises, the Property he Project, by registered or certified mail or nationally recognized overnight delivery service, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord by Tenant concurrently with delivery to Landlord, provided that, prior to such notice, Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of assignment of rents and leases or otherwise) of the address of such Mortgagee. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within thirty (30) days after such notice to Landlord (or if such default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if Landlord has commenced within such thirty (30) day period and is diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such default), then the Mortgagee shall have an additional sixty (60) days within which to cure or correct such default (or if such default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if such Mortgagee has commenced within such sixty (60) day period and is diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such default). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Mortgagee have any obligation to cure any default of the Landlord.

21. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR LANDLORD) SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF (A) THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE BUILDING, OR (B) THE EQUITY INTEREST LANDLORD WOULD HAVE IN THE BUILDING IF THE BUILDING WERE ENCUMBERED BY THIRD PARTY DEBT IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO 70% OF THE VALUE OF THE BUILDING. TENANT SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE BUILDING FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT OR AWARD AGAINST LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD INDEMNITEES. NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ANY LANDLORD INDEMNITEES SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY JUDGMENT OR DEFICIENCY, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD INDEMNITEES OR MORTGAGEES BE LIABLE TO TENANT FOR LOST PROFIT, DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANY FORM OF SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE. BEFORE FILING SUIT FOR AN ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD, TENANT SHALL GIVE LANDLORD AND THE MORTGAGEE(S) WHOM TENANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED HOLD MORTGAGES, NOTICE AND REASONABLE TIME TO CURE THE ALLEGED DEFAULT. WHENEVER LANDLORD TRANSFERS ITS INTEREST, LANDLORD SHALL BE AUTOMATICALLY RELEASED FROM FURTHER PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS LEASE AND FROM ALL FURTHER LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES HEREUNDER AND THE TRANSFEREE OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST SHALL ASSUME ALL LIABILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF LANDLORD HEREUNDER FROM THE DATE OF SUCH TRANSER.

22. RELOCATION. Landlord, at its expense, at any time before or during the Term, may relocate Tenant from the Premises to space of reasonably comparable size and utility (“Relocation Space”) within the Building or other buildings within the same Project upon 60 days’ prior written notice to Tenant. From and after the date of the relocation, the Base Rent and Tenant’s Share shall be adjusted based on the rentable square footage of the Relocation Space. Landlord shall pay Tenant’s reasonable costs of relocation, including all costs for moving Tenant’s furniture, equipment, supplies and other personal property.

23. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant holds over the Premises or any part thereof after expiration of the Term, such holding over shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a month-to-month tenancy, at a rent (determined on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the Base Rent and Additional Rent in effect immediately prior to such holding over and shall otherwise be on all the other terms and conditions of this Lease. This Section shall not be construed as Landlord’s permission for Tenant to hold over. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord following expiration or termination shall not constitute a renewal of this Lease or extension of the Term except as specifically set forth above. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all Losses resulting from or arising out of Tenant’s failure to surrender the Premises, including, but not limited to, any amounts required to be paid to any tenant or prospective tenant who was to have occupied the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and any related attorneys’ fees and brokerage commissions.

24. NOTICES. All demands, approvals, consents or notices (collectively referred to as a “notice”) shall be in writing and delivered by hand and or sent by registered, express, or certified mail, with return receipt requested or with deliv6ry confirmation requested from the U.S. postal service, or sent by overnight or same day courier service at the party’s respective Notice Address(es) set forth in

Section 1; provided, however, notices sent by Landlord regarding general Building operational matters may be sent via e-mail to the e-mail address provided by Tenant to Landlord for such purpose. In addition, if the Building is closed (whether due to emergency, governmental order or any other reason), then any notice address at the Building shall not be deemed a required notice address during such closure, and, unless Tenant has provided an alternative valid notice address to Landlord for use during such closure, any notices sent during such closure may be sent via e-mail or in any other practical manner reasonably designed to ensure receipt by the intended recipient. Each notice shall be deemed to have been received on the earlier to occur of actual delivery or the date on which delivery is refused, or, if Tenant has vacated the Premises or any other Notice Address of Tenant without providing a new Notice Address, 3 days after notice is deposited in the U.S. mail or with a courier service in the manner described above.

If Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant’s Property, or to restore the Premises to the required condition, within 2 days after termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be entitled (but not obligated) to remove and store Tenant’s Property and/or perform such restoration of the Premises. Landlord shall not be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, the expenses and storage charges incurred.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Lease.

1. Initial Tenant’s Work. Tenant shall perform improvements to the Premises in accordance with the work list attached hereto as Schedule 1 (the “Work List”). The improvements to be performed by Tenant in accordance with the work set forth on Schedule 1 shall constitute Alterations and Tenant’s Work for all purposes under the Lease and are hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Tenant’s Work”. Tenant and its contractors shall not have the right to perform the Initial Tenant’s Work in the Premises unless and until Tenant has complied with all of the terms and conditions of the Lease with respect to Alterations and Tenant’s Work, including, without limitation, as set forth in Exhibit F to the Lease, and until Landlord has approved the final plans for the Initial Tenant’s Work and the contractors to be retained by Tenant for the Initial Tenant’s Work. Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the plans for the Initial Tenant’s Work (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances, equipment, trade fixtures and inventory), and Landlord’s approval of such plans shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility therefor.

Landlord’s approval of the contractors (including, without limitation, any architects or engineers) to perform the Initial Tenant’s Work shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord’s approval of the general contractor to perform the Initial Tenant’s Work shall not be considered to be unreasonably withheld if any such general contractor (i) does not have trade references reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (ii) does not maintain insurance as required by Landlord, (iii) does not have the ability to be bonded for the work in an amount satisfactory to Landlord, (iv) does not provide current financial statements reasonably acceptable to Landlord, or (v) is not licensed as a contractor in the state and municipality in which the Premises, is located.

2. Cost of the Initial Tenant’s Work. Promptly after obtaining Landlord’s approval of the plans for the Initial Tenant’s Work and before commencing construction of the Initial Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a reasonably detailed estimate of the cost of the Initial Tenant’s Work.

Landlord reserves the right to deduct the fee set forth in Section 4(b) of Exhibit F to the Lease from the Construction Allowance.

3. Construction and Construction Allowance.

(a) Provided Tenant is not in default under the Lease, Landlord agrees to contribute up to Eighteen Thousand Dollars ($18,000.00) (the “Construction Allowance”) toward the cost of performing the Initial Tenant’s Work.

Following Tenant’s payment of the Excess Costs, the Construction Allowance, less a ten percent (10%) retainage (which retainage shall be payable as part of the final draw), shall be paid to Tenant in periodic disbursements within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the following documentation: (i) an application for payment and sworn statement of contractor substantially in the form of MA Document G-702 covering all work for which disbursement is to be made to a date specified therein; (ii) a certification from an AIA architect substantially in the form of the Architect’s Certificate for Payment which is located on AIA Document G702, Application and Certificate of Payment; (iii) contractor’s, subcontractor’s and material supplier’s waivers of liens which shall cover all of the Initial Tenant’s Work for which disbursement is being requested and all other statements and forms required for compliance with the mechanics’ lien laws of the state in which the Premises is located, together with all such invoices, contracts, or other supporting data as Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee may reasonably require; (iv) a cost breakdown for each trade or subcontractor performing the Initial Tenant’s Work; (v) plans and specifications for the Initial Tenant’s Work, together with a certificate from an AIA architect that such plans and specifications comply in all material respects with all laws affecting the Building and Premises; (vi) copies of all construction contracts for the Initial Tenant’s Work, together with copies of all change orders, if any (which change orders must have been approved in advance by Landlord); and (vii) a request to disburse from Tenant containing an approval by Tenant of the work done and a good faith estimate of the cost to complete the Initial Tenant’s Work. Upon completion of the Initial Tenant’s Work, and prior to final disbursement of the Construction Allowance, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with: (1) general contractor’s and architect’s completion affidavits, (2) full and final waivers of lien, (3) receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used, (4) as-built plans of the Initial Tenant’s Work, (5) the certification of Tenant and its architect that the Initial Tenant’s Work has been installed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the approved plans, and in accordance with applicable laws, codes and ordinances, and (6) a final certificate of occupancy for the Premises, if applicable. In no event shall Landlord be required to disburse the Construction Allowance more than one time per month. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of the Construction Allowance during the continuance of an uncured default under the Lease, and Landlord’s obligation to disburse shall only resume when and if such default is cured.

(b) In no event shall the Construction Allowance be used as a credit against Rent or for the purchase of equipment, furniture or other items of personal property of Tenant. In the event Tenant does not submit to Landlord a written request for payment of the entire Construction

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Multi-Tenant Industrial Triple Net Lease (the “Lease”) by and between ICON OWNER POOL 1 SF NON-BUSINESS PARKS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and XXXXXX RESEARCH, INC., a South Carolina corporation (“Tenant”), for space in the Building located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Lease.

1. California Civil Code Section 1938. Pursuant to California Civil Code § 1938(a), Landlord hereby states that the Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) (defined in California Civil Code § 55.52). Accordingly, pursuant to California Civil Code § 1938(e), Landlord hereby further states as follows:

A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.

In accordance with the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that if Tenant obtains a CASp inspection of the Premises, then Tenant shall pay (i) the fee for such inspection, and (ii) except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises.

2. Extension Option.

2.1 Grant of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have the right (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Term for one (1) additional period of five (5) years beginning on the day immediately following the expiration date of the Lease and ending on the fifth (5t^h) anniversary of such expiration date (the “Extension Term”), if:

(a) not less than nine (9) and not more than twelve (12) full calendar months before the expiration date of the Lease, Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord (the “Extension Notice”) electing to exercise the Extension Option;

(b) no Event of Default exists when Tenant delivers the Extension Notice;

EXHIBIT H

-1-

(c) no part of the Premises is sublet when Tenant delivers the Extension Notice; and

(d) the Lease has not been assigned before Tenant delivers the Extension Notice.

2.2 Terms Applicable to Extension Term.

A. During the Extension Term, (a) the Base Rent rate per rentable square foot shall be equal to the Prevailing Market (defined in Section 2.5 below) rate per rentable square foot; (b) Base Rent shall increase, if at all, in accordance with the increases assumed in the determination of Prevailing Market rate; and (c) Base Rent shall be payable in monthly installments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease.

B. During the Extension Term Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes for the Premises in accordance with the Lease.

2.3 Procedure for Determining Prevailing Market. Within thirty (30) days after receiving the Extension Notice, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (“Landlord’s Notice”) stating Landlord’s estimate of the Prevailing Market rate for the Extension Term. Tenant, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, shall give Landlord either (i) written notice (“Tenant’s Binding Notice”) accepting Landlord’s estimate of the Prevailing Market rate for the Extension Term stated in Landlord’s Notice, or (ii) written notice (“Tenant’s Rejection Notice”) rejecting such estimate. If Tenant gives Landlord a Tenant’s Rejection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to agree in writing upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Extension Term. If, within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Tenant’s Rejection Notice, the parties fail to agree in writing upon the Prevailing Market rate, Tenant’s Extension Option shall be of no further force or effect.

2.4 Extension Amendment. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its Extension Option, and if the Prevailing Market rate for the Extension Term is determined in accordance with Section 2.3 above, Landlord, within a reasonable time thereafter, shall prepare and deliver to Tenant an amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) reflecting changes in the Base Rent, the Term, the expiration date of the Lease, and other appropriate terms in accordance with this Section 2, and Tenant shall execute and return (or provide Landlord with reasonable objections to) the Extension Amendment within fifteen (15) days after receiving it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon determination of the Prevailing Market rate for the Extension Term in accordance with Section 2.3 above, an otherwise valid exercise of the Extension Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Extension Amendment is executed.

2.5 Definition of Prevailing Market. For purposes of this Extension Option, “Prevailing Market” shall mean the arms-length, fair-market, annual rental rate per rentable square foot under extension and renewal leases and amendments entered into on or about the date on which the Prevailing Market is being determined hereunder for space

EXHIBIT H

comparable to the Premises in the Building and industrial buildings comparable to the Building in the Benicia, California area. The determination of Prevailing Market shall take into account (i) any material economic differences between the terms of the Lease and any comparison lease or amendment, such as rent abatements, construction costs and other concessions, and the manner, if any, in which the landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for operating expenses and taxes; (ii) any material differences in configuration or condition between the Premises and any comparison space, including any cost that would have to be incurred in order to make the configuration or condition of the comparison space similar to that of the Premises; and (iii) any reasonably anticipated changes in the Prevailing Market rate from the time such Prevailing Market rate is being determined and the time such Prevailing Market rate will become effective under the Lease.

2.6 Subordination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant’s Extension Option is subject and subordinate to the expansion rights (whether such rights are designated as a right of first offer, right of first refusal, expansion option or otherwise) of any tenant of the Building or the Project existing on the date hereof.

JUDICIAL REFERENCE

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Multi-Tenant Industrial Triple Net Lease (the “Lease”) by and between ICON OWNER POOL 1 SF NON-BUSINESS PARKS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and XXXXXX RESEARCH, INC., a South Carolina corporation (“Tenant”), for space in the Building located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Lease.

IF THE JURY-WAIVER PROVISIONS OF SECTION 26.3 OF THIS LEASE ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, THE PROVISIONS SET FORTH BELOW SHALL APPLY.

It is the desire and intention of the parties to agree upon a mechanism and procedure under which controversies and disputes arising out of this Lease or related to the Premises will be resolved in a prompt and expeditious manner. Accordingly, except with respect to actions for unlawful or forcible detainer or with respect to the prejudgment remedy of attachment, any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either party hereto against the other (and/or against its officers, directors, employees, agents or subsidiaries or affiliated entities) on any matters arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises and/or any claim of injury or damage, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be heard and resolved by a referee under the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Sections 638 — 645.1, inclusive (as same may be amended, or any successor statute(s) thereto) (the “Referee Sections”). Any fee to initiate the judicial reference proceedings and all fees charged and costs incurred by the referee shall be paid by the party initiating such procedure (except that if a reporter is requested by either party, then a reporter shall be present at all proceedings where requested and the fees of such reporter — except for copies ordered by the other parties — shall be borne by the party requesting the reporter); provided however, that allocation of the costs and fees, including any initiation fee, of such proceeding shall be ultimately determined in accordance with Section 26.3 of this Lease. The venue of the proceedings shall be in the county in which the Premises are located. Within ten (10) days of receipt by any party of a request to resolve any dispute or controversy pursuant to this Exhibit I, the parties shall agree upon a single referee who shall try all issues, whether of fact or law, and report a finding and judgment on such issues as required by the Referee Sections. If the parties are unable to agree upon a referee within such ten (10)-day period, then any party may thereafter file a lawsuit in the county in which the Premises are located for the purpose of appointment of a referee under the Referee Sections. If the referee is appointed by the court, the referee shall be a neutral and impartial retired judge with substantial experience in the relevant matters to be determined, from Jams/Endispute, Inc., ADR Services, Inc. or a similar mediation/arbitration entity approved by each party in its sole and absolute discretion. The proposed referee may be challenged by any party for any of the grounds listed in the Referee Sections. The referee shall have the power to decide all issues of fact and law and report his or her decision on such issues, and to issue all recognized remedies available at law or in equity for any cause of action that is before the referee, including an award of attorneys’ fees and costs in accordance with this Lease. The referee shall not, however, have the power to award punitive damages,

EXHIBIT I

-1-

nor any other damages that are not permitted by the express provisions of this Lease, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages. The parties may conduct all discovery as provided in the California Code of Civil Procedure, and the referee shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery orders in the same manner as any trial court judge, with rights to regulate discovery and to issue and enforce subpoenas, protective orders and other limitations on discovery available under California Applicable Law. The reference proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with California Applicable Law (including the rules of evidence), and in all regards, the referee shall follow California Applicable Law applicable at the time of the reference proceeding. The parties shall promptly and diligently cooperate with one another and the referee, and shall perform such acts as may be necessary to obtain a prompt and expeditious resolution of the dispute or controversy in accordance with the terms of this Exhibit I. In this regard, the parties agree that the parties and the referee shall use best efforts to ensure that (a) discovery be conducted for a period no longer than six (6) months from the date the referee is appointed, excluding motions regarding discovery, and (b) a trial date be set within nine (9) months of the date the referee is appointed. In accordance with Section 644 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, the decision of the referee upon the whole issue must stand as the decision of the court, and upon the filing of the statement of decision with the clerk of the court, or with the judge if there is no clerk, judgment may be entered thereon in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the court. Any decision of the referee and/or judgment or other order entered thereon shall be appealable to the same extent and in the same manner that such decision, judgment, or order would be appealable if rendered by a judge of the superior court in which venue is proper hereunder. The referee shall in his/her statement of decision set forth his/her findings of fact and conclusions of law. The parties intend this general reference agreement to be specifically enforceable in accordance with the Code of Civil Procedure. Nothing in this Exhibit I shall prejudice the right of any party to obtain provisional relief or other equitable remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction as shall otherwise be available under the Code of Civil Procedure and/or applicable court rules.
