(c)Alterations. Tenant shall make no alterations, installations, changes or additions in or to the Premises or the Project (collectively, “Alterations”) without Landlord's prior written consent; provided that such consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if the Alterations are reasonably necessary for the Tenant’s business and are within the general scope of the Tenant Improvements; provided further, however, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s consent for any cosmetic alterations, installations, changes or additions in or to the Premises that (a) do not impact the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire/life safety or heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems of the Project, (b) are not visible from the outside of the interior of the Premises, (c) do not exceed Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) in the aggregate in any one (1) Lease Year, and (d) do not require a permit (“Minor Alterations”).

Tenant shall cause all Alterations and Minor Alterations to be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformance with all applicable federal, state, county and municipal laws, rules and regulations, pursuant to a valid building permit, and in conformance with Landlord's construction rules and regulations. If Landlord, in approving any Alterations, specifies a commencement date therefor, Tenant shall not commence any work with respect to such Alterations prior to such date.

In addition, Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, require Tenant to obtain a lien and completion bond or some alternate form of security satisfactory to Landlord in an amount sufficient to ensure the lien free completion of any such Alteration in excess of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) (a “Substantial Alteration”) and naming Landlord as a co-obligee.

(e)Costs and Fees; Removal. If permitted Alterations or Minor Alterations are made, they shall be made at Tenant's sole cost and expense and shall be and become the property of Landlord, except that Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given prior to the end of the Term, require Tenant at Tenant's expense to remove all partitions, counters, railings, cabling, Improvements and other Alterations or Minor Alterations from the Premises, and to repair any damage to the Premises and the Project caused by such removal.

With regard to Alterations (other than Minor Alterations) under this Article 9, Landlord shall be entitled to receive an administrative/coordination fee (which fee shall vary depending upon whether or not Tenant orders the work directly from Landlord) sufficient to compensate Landlord for all reasonable overhead, general conditions, fees and other actual costs and expenses arising from Landlord's involvement with such work.

Tenant shall take all actions reasonably necessary under Applicable Laws to ensure that no liens encumbering Landlord's interest in the Premises arise as a result of any work by or for Tenant within the Premises, including any Alterations (collectively, “Tenant's Work”). With respect to any Substantial Alteration, such actions shall include, without limitation, the recording of a notice of posted security in the Official Records of Maricopa County, Arizona, in accordance with Applicable Laws, and either (i) establish a construction disbursement account, or (ii) furnish and record, in accordance with Applicable Law, a surety bond for the prime contract for the Substantial Alteration at the Premises that meets the requirements of Applicable Law.

Landlord shall not be liable for, and there shall be no rent abatement as a result of, any stoppage, reduction or interruption of any such services caused by governmental rules, regulations or ordinances, riot, strike, labor disputes, breakdowns, accidents, necessary repairs or other cause, provided however that Landlord will not engage in a repair of any HVAC, plumbing or electrical system without providing Tenant with reasonable prior written notice, and will endeavor to schedule such reasonable repairs during hours that do not disrupt Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is any interruption of any such services caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct, and such interruption continues for ten (10) days following Tenant’s delivery of written notice to Landlord, and Tenant ceases operating at the Premises due to such interruption, then

Should Tenant wish to occupy and use the Premises after the dates and times permitted in Section 11(a), then Landlord and Tenant agree to meet and discuss the use during expanded hours ("Expanded Hours"). It is understood and agreed that Tenant may elect to use the Premises on an Expanded Hours basis (e.g., providing a second shift of workers as demand from the Tenant's business increases). Landlord and Tenant agree that should the Tenant operate its business on an Expanded Hour basis then the parties will work together to provide sufficient service (i.e., utilities) to the Premises, with Tenant responsible for reimbursement of any incremental expenses incurred by Landlord for such Expanded Hours use.

If this Lease is so terminated with respect to less than the entire Premises, (i) the Basic Rental and Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be prorated based on the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant as compared to the total number of rentable square feet previously contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon the request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same, and (ii) Tenant shall be responsible for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with separately demising the Recapture Space separate and apart from the balance of the Premises, including without limitation, all ductwork, systems work, demising wall installation and compliance with governmental requirements relating thereto (“Landlord's Recapture Costs”).

If repairs cannot, in Landlord's opinion, be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the necessity for repairs this Lease shall instead terminate, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after Landlord makes such a determination, with such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises.

Finally, if the Premises or the Project is damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 16 to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party of the exercise of such option within sixty (60) days after Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, learns of the necessity for repairs as the result of such damage.

If the whole of the Premises or the Project or so much thereof as to render the balance unusable by Tenant shall be taken under power of eminent domain, or is sold, transferred or conveyed in lieu thereof, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of such condemnation, or as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority, at Landlord's option. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to the same or any part thereof; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require Tenant to assign to Landlord any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property and trade fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant at the expiration of the Term hereof as provided hereunder or for the loss of Tenant’s leasehold interest or the interruption of, or damage to, Tenant's business. In the event of a partial taking described in this Article 18, or a sale, transfer or conveyance in lieu thereof, which does not result in a termination of this Lease, the rent shall be apportioned according to the ratio that the part of the

Premises remaining useable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Applicable Law, to terminate the Lease in the event of a partial taking.

It is expressly understood and agreed that any such statement contained in the Estoppel Certificate delivered by Landlord or Tenant as provided herein may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, assignee, transferee or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Real Property. A party’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall constitute an admission by such party that all statements contained therein are true and correct

20. LIABILITY OF LANDLORD. Article 26 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, any remedy of Tenant for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default by Landlord hereunder or any claim, cause of action or obligation, contractual, statutory or otherwise by Tenant against Landlord or the Landlord Parties concerning, arising out of or relating to any matter relating to this Lease and all of the covenants and conditions or any obligations, contractual, statutory, or otherwise set forth herein, shall be limited solely and exclusively to an amount which is equal to the interest of Landlord in the Project.

(b) Landlord and Tenant hereby further agree that (i) the indemnification from Tenant to Landlord under Section 28(a) of the Original Lease shall not apply to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s employees or agents or to the extent any of the foregoing was caused or necessitated by the presence or existence of any Hazardous Materials on the Project prior to the Effective Date of this Lease, and (ii) the cost of complying with Laws relating to Hazardous Material on the Project for which Landlord is legally liable and which are paid or incurred by Landlord shall be an Operating Cost (and Tenant shall pay Tenant's Proportionate Share thereof in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in the Lease, as modified by this Second Amendment) unless the cost of such compliance as between Landlord and Tenant, is made the responsibility of Tenant pursuant to Section 28(a) of the Lease, as modified by this Second Amendment, or is made the responsibility of Landlord as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and/or the Landlord Parties.

22. CONFIDENTIALITY. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Parties’ obligations under Section 30(s) of the Original Lease are subject to disclosures otherwise required by law or securities regulations.

23. RIGHT TO EXTEND TERM. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

(a) If there is no continuing Event of Default by Tenant and the Tenant is occupying the Premises and has not otherwise assigned or sublet all or any portion of the Leased Premises, then Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term for up to two (2) terms of five (5) years each (the “First Extended Term” and “Second Extended Term” respectively and each an “Extended Term” and together “Extended Terms”), by giving Landlord written notice of its intention to do so (an “Extension Notice”) not sooner than three hundred sixty-five (365) days and not later than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the expiration of the original Lease Term or the First Extended Term, as applicable. The Extended Terms shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that Basic Rental payable during the first twelve (12) months of each of the Extended Terms shall be shall be the greater of Fair Market Rental Value (as defined below) or the then-current Basic Rental, and that Basic Rental for each subsequent twelve (12) month period during the applicable portion of each Extended Term shall be equal to the Basic Rental in effect immediately prior to the commencement of such succeeding twelve (12) month period of the applicable Extended Term multiplied by one hundred three percent (103%).

(b) For the purposes of this Lease, the “Fair Market Rental Value” shall mean the then-prevailing annual market rental value, for office space of comparable size, quality and location to the Premises in comparable buildings in the Phoenix, Arizona market. Promptly after receiving the Extension Notice, Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlord’s good faith determination of the Fair Market Rental Value for the first twelve (12) months of the applicable Extended Term. Within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s determination, Tenant shall notify Landlord whether Tenant accepts or rejects such determination. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord within such fifteen (15) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted such determination. If Tenant delivers to Landlord timely notice of its objection to such determination, Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith efforts to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value within thirty (30) business days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of objection (the “Outside Agreement Date”). If Landlord and Tenant are unable to so agree by the Outside Agreement Date, then Landlord and Tenant shall have the Fair Market Rental Value determined in accordance with the so-called “baseball” method of determination, as summarized below.

(c) Within thirty (30) days after the Outside Agreement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall, at each of their own cost and expense, each determine and report to the other in writing their final determination of the Fair Market Rental Value. If such respective determinations are within five percent (5%) of each other, the Fair Market Rental Value shall be the average of such amounts. However, if after receiving such determinations, Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rental Value (and the respective amounts are not within five percent (5%) of each other), then, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such determinations, Landlord and Tenant shall jointly appoint an independent arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) with experience in real estate activities, including at least ten (10) years’ experience serving as a broker in transactions involving commercial office space of comparable size and quality to the Premises in the Phoenix, Arizona market, which Arbitrator shall, within twenty (20) days following the Arbitrator’s appointment, determine and report in writing to Landlord and Tenant the Fair Market Rental Value by selecting either Landlord’s or Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, according to whichever of the applicable determinations is closer to the Fair Market Rental Value, as determined by the Arbitrator. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Arbitrator in accordance with the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant may appoint a mutually approved third-party such as a judge or arbitration service to appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the criteria stated in this Section. The appointed Arbitrator shall have no discretion other than to select Landlord’s or Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Value as aforesaid. The cost and expense of the Arbitrator and any third-party appointed to select the Arbitrator shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant, and each of Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with the Arbitrator in providing documentation and any other reasonable evidence regarding how Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, arrived at its determination of the Fair Market Rental Value. If the Extended Term commences prior to the final determination of the Fair Market Rental Value, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Basic Rental payable during the prior twelve (12) month period pending resolution of the Fair Market Rental Value, subject to adjustment upon resolution of such Fair Market Rental Value. Any amount owing to Landlord or Tenant based on the final resolution of the Fair Market Rental Value shall be paid by the applicable party to the other party within thirty (30) days following final determination of the Fair Market Rental Value.

24. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER. Article 32 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

If there is no continuing Event of Default by Tenant and the Tenant is occupying the Premises and has not otherwise assigned or sublet all or any portion of the Leased Premises, then during the period commencing upon execution of this Second Amendment and expiring on the last day of the twenty-fourth (24th) month thereafter (the "ROFO Period"), Tenant shall have a Right of First Offer ("ROFO") to lease any space

contiguous to the Premises that is leased as of the date of this Lease and subsequently becomes available, pursuant to the terms set forth in this paragraph. Landlord shall notify Tenant of any such space becoming available during the ROFO Period and Tenant shall have three (3) days after such notification to notify Landlord that Tenant elects to lease such space. If Tenant fails to deliver notice to Landlord of its election to exercise the ROFO, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise the ROFO. The base rent, terms and conditions for the ROFO space shall be those set forth in Landlord's ROFO notice, provided, however, the terms set forth in Landlord's ROFO notice must provide that (a) the Work Allowance shall be proportionately adjusted for the portion of the Term remaining under the Lease, and (b) the lease term shall be coterminous with the Term.
