2. Sublease Subject to Master Lease.

3. Incorporation of Master Lease. All of the terms, covenants and conditions in the Master Lease are incorporated herein as terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease to the extent such terms, covenants and conditions are applicable and, along with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease. To the extent that the Master Lease provides that Landlord shall provide services, utilities, insurance, maintenance, repairs or any and all other

-1-

obligations of Landlord rendered in connection with the operation of the Building, Subtenant shall seek recourse first from Sublandlord. If Sublandlord shall not take action reasonably requested by Subtenant, Subtenant may then notify Landlord in writing of such failure. Upon receipt of such written notice, Landlord shall use Landlord’s best efforts to enforce Subtenant’s rights under the Master Lease for the benefit of Subtenant.

4. Rent.

(a) Minimum Fixed Base Rent. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as minimum fixed base rent (“Base Rent”) for the Premises in advance on the first day of each calendar month of the term of this Sublease without deduction, offset, prior notice or demand, the equivalent of $26.80 per rentable square foot per year with full-service monthly rental cost of $43,623.70. Monthly Base Rent for any period during the Term hereof which is for less than one month shall be a prorata portion of the Monthly Base Rent. Monthly Base Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United States to Sublandlord at the address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other places as Landlord may designate in writing.

(b) Operating Expenses. Included in the gross rent are full- service operating expenses which are as follows: property taxes, insurance, interior and exterior common area maintenance, utilities, five (5) nights per week janitorial service, administrative expenses, premises and common area electric costs. The sublease will provides that all expenses above the 2005 Base year be passed back through to the Subtenant based on Subtenant’s pro rata share of building space usage. Increase in annual Operating Expenses, if any, shall not be limited to the lesser of the actual increase or five (5%) percent, on a non-cumulative basis. Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference shall define Operating Expenses.

The initial Term shall be for five years (5), and Subtenant shall have no extension option (“Extension Option”) to extend the Term of the Sublease subject to the terms of the Master Lease. If, in the event the Term of the Master Lease is renewed as provided therein and extends beyond the expiration of the maximum term-length of five (5)-years, Subtenant, so long that it is not in default at the time of exercise of notice, shall have the right, but not the obligation in its sole discretion, to elect to extend the Term of the Sublease for additional annual periods.

7. Use. Subtenant shall use the Premises for general office use and for no other purpose without Sublandlord’s prior written consent.

8. Assignment, Mortgaging and Subletting. Subtenant shall not voluntarily assign or encumber its interest in this Sublease or in the Sublet Premises, or sublease all or any part of the Sublet Premises, or allow any other person or entity (except Subtenant’s authorized representatives) to occupy or use all or any part of the Sublet Premises, without first obtaining Sublandlord’s consent, which consent Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition. No consent to any assignment or sublease shall constitute a further waiver of the provisions of this Paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant shall have the right to assign this Sublease and/or sublet any part or all of the Sublet Premises, without the Sublandlord’s consent, to any corporation which is controlled directly or indirectly by Subtenant, or any entity (including The First American Corporation) which controls, directly or indirectly, Subtenant, or to any of Subtenant’s joint venture partner(s), partnership(s), or other affiliated entity(s), by merger, acquisition, stock purchase or otherwise or to a successor(s)-in-interest to any part or all of Subtenant’s business. Sublandlord shall respond to any Subtenant request to assign, sublease or encumber within ten (10) business days of written notice of Subtenant’s desire to enter into such assignment sublease or encumbrance. If Sublandlord elects to withhold its consent, Sublandlord shall specify in Sublandlord’s written notice to Subtenant the specific, reasonable grounds upon which Sublandlord desires to withhold such consent. If within such ten (10) business day period, Sublandlord fails to respond to Subtenant’s request or to notify Subtenant of the specific, reasonable grounds upon which it is withholding its consent, Sublandlord shall be deemed to have granted its consent to the proposed sublease, assignment or encumbrance. Subtenant shall be entitled to retain fifty (50%) percent of rent and other consideration payable in connection with any assignment or subletting provided Subtenant’s monetary obligations to Sublandlord under this Sublease continue to be satisfied.

9. Default.

(a) Subtenant Default. In the event Subtenant shall breach any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Sublease or the Master Lease, beyond any commercially reasonable and mutually agreed cure period, then, in that event, in addition to the remedies in the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall have the right to enter and retake the Sublet Premises and terminate Subtenant’s interest under this Sublease.

(b) Sublandlord’s Default; Subtenant’s Remedies. In the event of any failure by Sublandlord to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Subtenant (except in the case of an emergency which shall entitle Subtenant to take action as required under the circumstances upon concurrent notice to Sublandlord) shall take no action without having first given Sublandlord written notice of any such default and a reasonable opportunity to cure such default given the nature of the default not to exceed in any event a period of thirty (30) days. If Sublandlord shall fail to cure such default within such reasonable time period as requested in Subtenant’s notice to Sublandlord, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a second written notice of default. Following delivery of such second notice and failure by Sublandlord to cure or to commence to cure such default within two (2) business days after delivery of such second notice form Subtenant, Subtenant shall have all rights available to it at law or in equity, and shall have the further right to take the necessary actions to perform Sublandlord’s uncured obligations hereunder at Sublandlord’s expense and, at Subtenant’s election, to either (i) deduct the cost of

-3-

curing Sublandlord’s obligations from the next due installment of Monthly Base Rent and/or Additional Rent, or (ii) invoice Sublandlord for the costs and expenses thereof (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs). Sublandlord shall remit payment to Subtenant within thirty- (30) days of receipt of invoice from Subtenant. If Sublandlord fails to remit payment to Subtenant within the aforesaid thirty—(30) day period, Subtenant shall have the right to offset and deduct said sum from Monthly Base Rent.

The provisions of this Sublease shall be construed in accordance with the fair meaning of the language used and shall not be strictly construed against either party.

18. Severability. The unenforceability, invalidity or illegality of any provision shall not render the other provisions unenforceable, invalid or illegal and all remaining provisions of this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.

19. Sublandlord’s Covenants. Sublandlord covenants, as a material part of the consideration for this Sublease, to keep and perform each and all of said terms, covenants and conditions for which Landlord is liable and that this Sublease is made upon the condition of such performance.

However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant shall not be obligated to remove any of the initial Tenant Improvements or any Alterations, if any, made to the Sublet Premises unless such Alterations are not typical office improvements and at the time of granting its consent to such Alterations, Sublandlord advised Subtenant that such items will have to be removed at the expiration of the Term. Further, no property of Subtenant shall become the property of Sublandlord at the expiration of the Term unless Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant in writing that Subtenant has left property behind, Subtenant fails to remove such property within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice and Sublandlord complies with all applicable laws regarding the storage, disposal, sale or retention of tenants’ property.

23. Sublandlord’s Right of Entry. Subtenant agrees to permit Master Landlord and or Sublandlord, or its authorized agents or representatives, to enter into and upon any part of the Sublet Premises during reasonable business hours following Subtenant’s receipt of at least twenty-four (24) hour prior written notice (except for an emergency, in which event only such notice as is reasonably practical under the circumstances shall be required) for the purpose of inspecting or cleaning the same, or making repairs, alterations or additions thereto which Sublandlord is obligated to make or which Subtenant requests Sublandlord to make, or exhibiting the Premises to prospective Subtenants or purchasers; provided, however, that Master Landlord and or Sublandlord’s right to enter the Sublet Premises to show them to prospective Subtenants or others shall be limited to the last sixty (60) of the Sublease Term.

25. First Right to Lease. If, during the original Term or any Extension Term, Sublandlord elects to Sublease any space in the Building, then Sublandlord shall first offer such space in writing to Subtenant on terms and conditions no less favorable than those terms Sublandlord is willing to offer such space to third parties which shall be the then fair market rental value for the Premises. If within ten (10) days after receipt of such offer, Subtenant does not notify Sublandlord that Subtenant elects to Sublease such space, then Sublandlord shall be relieved of any obligations to Subtenant with regard to any such offering; provided, however, that a failure by Subtenant to Sublease any specific space when so offered by Sublandlord shall not relieve Sublandlord of its obligation to first offer Subtenant any other space in the Building if, as and when Sublandlord elects to offer such other space to third parties. If Subtenant exercises its first right to Sublease, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall negotiate in good faith the fair market rental rate for the first right space and if the parties are unable to agree upon such fair market value within thirty (30) days of Subtenant’s election to Sublease such space (the “Outside Agreement Date”), the parties shall submit such fair market rental rate for determination by appraisal in accordance with Paragraph 27, below.

26. Fair Market Value. If for any purposes of this Sublease, the fair market rental value of the Sublet Premises needs to be determined and the parties shall be unable to agree between themselves as to such fair market rental value, such fair market rental value shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 27. As used herein, the “fair market rental value” shall mean the annual amount per rentable square foot, projected during the relevant period, that a willing, comparable, non-equity tenant would pay, and a willing, comparable landlord of a comparable quality office building located in the vicinity of the Building would accept, at arm’s length (what Landlord and/or Sublandlord is accepting in current transactions for the Building may be considered), for space of comparable size, quality and floor height as the leased area at issue taking into account the age, quality and layout of the existing improvements in the leased area at issue and taking into account items that professional real estate brokers customarily consider, including, but not limited to, rental rates, office space availability, tenant size, tenant improvement allowances, operating expenses and allowance, parking charges, free rent, reduced rent, free parking, reduced parking, and any other lease concessions, if any, then being charged or granted by Landlord and or Sublandlord or the lessors of such similar office buildings.

27. Miscellaneous.

(a) Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of this Sublease.

(b) Consent of Parties. Whenever consent or approval of either party is required, regardless of any reference to the words “sole” or “absolute”, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Whenever this Sublease grants Sublandlord or Subtenant the right to take action, exercise discretion, establish rules and regulations or make allocations or other determinations, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall act reasonably and in good faith and take no action which might result in the frustration of the other party’s reasonable expectations concerning the benefits to be enjoyed under the Sublease.

(c) Authority. If either party is a corporation, partnership or other entity, each individual executing this Sublease on behalf of such entity represents and warrants that he/she is

-7-

duly authorized to execute and deliver this Sublease on behalf of such entity, and that this Lease is binding upon such entity in accordance with its terms
