ARTICLE 2 – PREMISES

2.01 Lease of Premises. Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases the Premises from Landlord, upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease. On the Commencement Date described herein, Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in substantial conformance with the Work Letter Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B.

2.02 Acceptance of Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of the Premises or the Building except as expressly provided in this Lease or with respect to the suitability or fitness of either for the conduct of Tenant’s Permitted Use or for any other purpose. Prior to Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises, Landlord or its designee and Tenant will walk the Premises for the purpose of reviewing the condition of the Premises (and the condition of completion and workmanship of any tenant improvements which Landlord is required to construct in the Premises pursuant to this Lease); after such review, Tenant shall execute a Suite Acceptance Letter, in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto,

accepting the Premises subject to those items identified in the Acceptance Letter as not in good working order or repair or not in compliance with applicable laws and therefore requiring attention. Landlord promptly shall repair or make such replacement as necessary to correct any items so identified as requiring attention. Except as is expressly set forth in this Section 2.02 or the Work Letter Agreement attached hereto, if any, or as may be expressly set forth in Suite Acceptance Letter, and subject to Landlord’s repair and maintenance obligations in Section 8.01. Tenant agrees to accept the Premises in its “as is” said physical condition without any agreements, representations, understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any alterations, repairs or improvements (or to provide any allowance for same).

2.03 Tenant’s Access to Premises. Tenant and its employees shall be allowed full access to the Premises and use of passenger elevator service at all times, seven (7) days per week, twenty-four (24) hours per day.

2.04 Right of First Refusal.

(A) Grant of Right of Refusal. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a continuing first right of refusal to lease (“Tenant’s Right of Refusal”) the space adjacent to the Premises on the 1^st floor of the Building consisting of approximately six thousand two hundred thirty four (6,234) rentable square feet of space, as the same becomes available (the “Available Space”), as follows: Tenant shall have the right to lease the Available Space on the terms of any unaffiliated third party bona fide offer that Landlord is willing to accept (the “Available Space Terms”).

(B) Exercise of Tenant’s Right of Refusal. Landlord shall provide Tenant written notice (“Landlord’s Offer Notice”) as soon as reasonably possible after Landlord has received a bona fide offer for the lease of all or any portion of the Available Space, which offer Landlord in good faith intends to accept (an “Offer”). In such event, then, provided there does not exist, on the date of exercise of the Tenant’s Right of Refusal, an event of default (as provided in Section 15.01 below), uncured within any applicable cure period, Tenant’s Right of Refusal shall be exercised by Tenant’s delivery to Landlord, within five (5) business days following receipt of Landlord’s Offer Notice, of written notice pursuant to the terms hereof (“Tenant’s Acceptance Notice”), stating that Tenant agrees to lease the portion of the Available Space covered by Landlord’s Offer Notice, in accordance with the Available Space Terms and otherwise under the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the length of the term which shall be applicable to such Available Space shall be the number of months then remaining in the Lease Term; provided, however in the event that less than thirty-six (36) months remains in the initial Lease Term as of the date of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, then Tenant shall be obligated to extend the Lease Term such that all of the Premises shall be subject to a remaining term of not less than thirty-six (36) months (and which extension shall automatically adjust the dates for exercise of the Renewal Options). Tenant’s failure to provide the Tenant’s Acceptance Notice within such five (5) day period shall be conclusively deemed Tenant’s election not to exercise Tenant’s Right of Refusal as to the Available Space covered by Landlord’s Offer Notice, and Landlord shall be free to enter into a lease with the proposed tenant for such Available Space on materially the same terms as described in the Landlord’s Offer Notice (including a lease containing renewal options which may be exercised by such other tenant without regard to Tenant’s Right of Refusal). If the Available Space or any portion thereof subsequently becomes available again during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the same right of refusal granted herein with respect to a bona fide offer to lease additional space by a subsequent third-party offeror. In the event that the proposed Lease described in Landlord’s Offer Notice is not consummated, Tenant’s right of first refusal shall apply to any subsequent transaction. Tenant shall be obligated, if Tenant elects to exercise Tenant’s Right of Refusal, to exercise such right as to all of the Available Space covered by Landlord’s Offer Notice.

(C) Documentation of Tenant’s Right of Refusal. Within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty (30) days after the effective date of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, the parties shall execute (i) an addendum to this Lease confirming the terms and conditions upon which the Available Space shall be leased to Tenant, including, without limitation, the date upon which Tenant’s occupancy of such space shall commence (the “Tenant’s Right Commencement Date”), Tenant’s Rentable Area (with the addition of the square footage in the Available Space then the subject of the Offer), the new amount for the monthly installment of Base Rent (which shall be reflective of the new number for Tenant’s Percentage Share), and (ii) a Work Letter, if applicable, covering leasehold improvements to be performed in such space; provided, however, that the failure of either party to execute such addendum shall not affect the effectiveness of Tenant’s exercise of the Right of Refusal and the matters provided for herein as long as both parties execute such addendum within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s addendum consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.04(C). Tenant’s Right Commencement Date shall be the earlier to occur of (i) Tenant’s actual conduct of business in the Available Space, or (ii) five (5) days following substantial completion, as determined in accordance with the Work Letter executed by the parties in connection with such space. Tenant’s obligation for payment of Rent with respect to such space shall begin on Tenant’s Right Commencement Date; provided that such obligation shall be moved forward by the number of days, if any, by which Tenant delays Substantial Completion as determined by such Work Letter.

ARTICLE 3 – TERM

3.01 Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the Lease Term shall be for the period described in Section 1.04 of this Lease, commencing on the Commencement Date described in Section 1.05 of this Lease and ending on the Expiration Date described in Section 1.06 of this Lease; provided, however, that, if, for any reason, Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises on the date described in Section 1.05 of this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage caused thereby, nor shall the Lease be void or voidable, but, rather, the Lease Term shall commence upon, and the Commencement Date shall be the date that possession of the Premises is so tendered to Tenant (except for Tenant-caused delays which shall not be deemed to delay commencement of the Lease Term), and, unless Landlord elects otherwise, the Expiration Date described in Section 1.06 of this Lease shall be extended by an equal number of days.

3.02 Option to Renew.

(A) Option and Exercise. Tenant shall have two (2) consecutive option(s) (each a “Renewal Option”) to renew and extend the Term of this Lease with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Premises demised under or pursuant to this Lease for an additional term (each a “Renewal Term”) of five (5) years each. The first Renewal Term commencing on the day immediately following the Expiration Date of the initial Term, and the second Renewal Term commencing on the day immediately following the expiration of the first Renewal Term, under the following terms and conditions:

(i) Tenant gives Landlord written notice of its election to exercise the Renewal Option no earlier than the date which is three hundred sixty-five (365) days prior to the Expiration Date of the initial Term or of the first Renewal Term, as applicable, and no later than the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Expiration Date of the initial Term or of the first Renewal Term, as applicable;

(ii) Tenant is not in breach or default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice or cure period or any other lease of space in the Building either on the date Tenant exercises the Renewal Option or at any time through and including the proposed commencement date of the Renewal Term.

(B) Renewal Term Rent and Lease Terms. If Tenant timely and properly exercises the Renewal Option in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02(A) above:

(i) The Rent payable for the Renewal Term shall be based on the then prevailing rent for comparable deals in the Building and the downtown Sacramento market place, but in no event (including in the event that the appraisal process described below is elected) shall the rental rate be less than the adjusted rental rate payable under this Lease on the Expiration Date of the initial Term, or first Renewal Term, as the case may be. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “prevailing rental rate” shall mean the total rental then being quoted by landlords for “comparable deals” for comparable uses in the Building and the downtown Sacramento market place. “Comparable deals” shall mean leases which are approximately as long, and commencing at approximately the same time, as the Renewal Term and are for comparable space in the Building and in comparable buildings (with occupancy rates similar to the Building) improved in a similar manner as the Premises excluding the leasehold improvements installed by Tenant at Tenant’s expense, subject to reasonable adjustments for 1) the desirability of the applicable floor or location in the building, and 2) the desirability of the geographic location of the applicable building. “Comparable deals” shall explicitly exclude from consideration any transactions where the landlord of the subject building is in default of its mortgage or other indebtedness of the building, or is currently, or has within the prior six (6) months, been involved in foreclosure proceedings on the applicable building. “Comparable deals” shall also exclude transactions whereby the tenant has some form of equity participation in the deal. Landlord shall determine the prevailing rental rate by using its good faith judgment and shall provide written notice of such amount within fifteen (15) days after Tenant delivers notice of exercise of its Renewal Option. Tenant shall have thirty (30) days (“Tenant’s Review Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the prevailing rental rate within which to accept such rent or to reasonably object thereto in writing. In the event that Tenant objects, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the prevailing rate using their good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Tenant’s Review Period, then each party shall select an independent arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker who shall have been active over the past five (5) year period in the leasing of commercial properties in the vicinity of the Building. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall consult with such broker as to his or her opinion as to the prevailing rate prior to the appointment. The two brokers shall determine the prevailing rate, taking into account the requirements of this Section B(i), within twenty (20) business days after appointment and shall submit their determination to Landlord and Tenant in a writing signed by each broker which shall be final and binding on the parties. If either party fails to timely appoint a broker, the decision of the one (1) appointed broker shall be final and binding on the parties. In the event that the brokers are unable to agree on the prevailing rental rate within such twenty (20) day period, the two brokers shall then immediately submit to each other in writing their separate determinations of prevailing rental rate setting forth the basis for their determinations and select a third similarly qualified broker to act as a neutral arbitrator and provide to such third broker when selected copies of their separate written determinations of prevailing rental rate. Such third broker shall not have worked for either party in any capacity. The prevailing rental rate shall be independently determined by the third broker, whose determination shall be made within twenty (20) business days after appointment. The third broker shall then decide which of the determinations submitted by the first two brokers most closely approximates the third broker’s determination of the prevailing rental rate. The third broker shall have no right to adopt a compromise or middle ground or any modification of the determinations of either of the first two brokers. The third broker shall decide only which submitted determination most closely approximates his determination and such decision shall constitute the prevailing rental rate and shall be final and binding upon the parties. The new Base Rent shall be an amount equal to the prevailing rental rate determined as provided above. Each party hereto shall pay the fees and expenses of the broker appointed by it. The fees and expenses of the third broker shall be paid by the parties hereto in equal shares. If the two brokers appointed by the parties cannot reach agreement on the appointment of the third broker, they or either of them shall give notice of such failure to agree to the parties and if the parties fail to agree upon the selection of such third broker within ten (10) days after the brokers appointed by the parties give such notice, then either of the parties, upon notice to the party, may request such appointment by the American Arbitration Association, or on its failure, refusal or inability to act, may apply for such appointment to the presiding judge of the Superior Court of Sacramento County, California.

(ii) Tenant shall have no further options to renew or extend the initial Term of this Lease beyond the expiration date of the second Renewal Term created by exercise of the second Renewal Option.

(iii) Landlord shall not be obligated to perform any leasehold improvement work in the Premises or give Tenant an allowance or other economic concession for any such work or for any other purpose.

(iv) Except as otherwise provided herein, all of the terms and provisions of this Lease shall remain the same and in full force and effect during the Renewal Term.

(C) Amendment. If Tenant exercises a Renewal Option, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease reflecting the lease of the Premises by Landlord to Tenant for the applicable Renewal Term on the terms provided above, which amendment shall be executed and delivered prior to the commencement date of the Renewal Term.

(D) Termination. The unexercised Renewal Option shall automatically terminate and become null and void and of no force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (1) the expiration or termination of this Lease, (2) the termination of the Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, (3) the failure of Tenant to timely or properly exercise such Renewal Option or (4) the default by Tenant under the Lease, which remains uncured at the expiration of any applicable cure period.

ARTICLE 4 – RENTAL

(B) “Property Taxes” shall mean the aggregate amount of all real estate taxes, assessments (whether they be general or special), sewer rents and charges, transit taxes, taxes based upon the receipt of rent and any other federal, state or local governmental charge, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary (but not including income or franchise taxes, capital stock, inheritance, estate, gift, or any other taxes imposed upon or measured by Landlord’s gross income or profits, unless the same shall be imposed in lieu of real estate taxes or other ad valorem taxes), which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay in connection with the Building, or any part thereof. Property Taxes shall also include all fees and costs, including attorneys’ fees, appraisals and consultants’ fees, reasonably incurred by Landlord in seeking to obtain a reassessment, reduction of, or a limit on the increase in, any Property Taxes, regardless of whether any reduction or limitation is obtained.

Property Taxes shall include any tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge imposed upon Landlord and measured by or based in whole or in part upon the Building or the rents or other income from the Building, to the extent that such items would be payable if the Building was the only property of Landlord subject to same and the income received by Landlord from the Building was the only income of Landlord. Property Taxes shall also include any personal property taxes imposed upon the furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems and appurtenances of Landlord used in connection with the Building. Any tax increase in Property Taxes due to a change in ownership shall be capped at seven percent (7%) for the tax year in which the sale occurs. In the following year, the balance of the increase applicable to Tenant in excess of 7% shall be Tenant’s responsibility. Such increases shall not occur more than two times during the initial lease term.

(C) “Operating Expenses” shall mean all costs, fees, disbursements and expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in the operation, ownership, maintenance, insurance, management, replacement and repair of the Building (excluding Property Taxes) including without limitation:

(vii) Other items of repair or maintenance of elements of the Building.

(viii) The costs of policing, security and supervision of the Building.

(xii) Capital expenditures (a) made primarily to reduce Operating Expenses, or to comply with any laws or other governmental requirements, or (b) for replacements (as reasonably determined by Landlord and as opposed to additions or new improvements) of non-structural items located in the common areas of the property required to keep such areas in good condition; provided, all such permitted capital expenditures (together with reasonable financing charges) shall be amortized for purposes of this Lease over the shorter of (i) their useful lives, or (ii) the period during which the reasonably estimated savings in Operating Expenses does not exceed the amortized cost of expenditures (“Approved Capital Expenditures”).

(xiii) Legal fees and expenses.

(xiv) Payments under any easement, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant, or instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs in any planned development.

(xv) A fee for the administration and management of the Building as reasonably determined by Landlord from time to time, not to exceed four and one half percent (4¹/2%) of the total cost of Operating Expenses excluding salaries, overhead and other costs exclusively attributable to the operations of Landlord’s property manager.

Operating Expenses shall not include costs of alteration of the premises of tenants of the Building, depreciation charges, interest and principal payments on mortgages, ground rental payments, real estate brokerage and leasing commissions, expenses incurred in enforcing obligations of tenants of the Building, salaries and other compensation of executive officers of the managing agent of the Building senior to the Building manager, costs of any special service provided to any one tenant of the Building but not to tenants of the Building generally, and costs of marketing or advertising the Building. In addition, Operating Expenses shall not include the items listed on Exhibit H attached hereto.

(D) If the Building does not have ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy during an entire calendar year, including the Base Year, then the variable cost component of “Property Taxes” and “Operating Expenses” shall be equitably adjusted so that the total amount of Property Taxes and Operating Expenses equals the total amount which would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied for the entire calendar year. In no event shall Landlord be entitled to receive from Tenant and any other tenants in the Building an aggregate amount in excess of actual Property Taxes and Operating Expenses as a result of the foregoing provision.

4.02 Base Rent.

(A) During the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as rental for the Premises the Base Rent described in Section 1.07 above, subject to the following annual adjustments (herein called the “Rent Adjustments”):

(B) During each calendar year, the Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord, shall be increased by (collectively, the “Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment”): (i) Tenant’s Percentage Share of the dollar increase, if any, in Property Taxes for such year over Property Taxes for the Base Year; and (ii) Tenant’s Percentage Share of the dollar increase, if any, of Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord during such year over the Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord during the Base Year. A decrease in Property Taxes or Operating Expenses below the Base Year amounts shall not decrease the amount of the Base Rent due hereunder or give rise to a credit in favor of Tenant.

4.03 Adjustment Procedure; Estimates. The Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment specified in Section 4.02(B) shall be determined and paid as follows:

(A) During each calendar year subsequent to the Base Year, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its estimate of any increased amounts payable under Section 4.02(B) for that calendar year. On or before the first day of each calendar month during the calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated amounts; provided, however, that, not more often that quarterly, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, revise its estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate.

(B) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each calendar year or as soon thereafter as is practicable but in no event later than three hundred sixty five (365) days after the close of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a reasonably detailed line item statement of that year’s Property Taxes and Operating Expenses, and the actual Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment to be made pursuant to Section 4.02(B) for such calendar year, as determined by Landlord (the “Landlord’s Statement”) and such Landlord’s Statement shall be binding upon Tenant, except as provided in Section 4.04 below. If the amount of the

actual Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment is more that the estimated payments for such calendar year made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s Statement. If the amount of the actual Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment is less than the estimated payments for such calendar year made by Tenant, any excess shall be credited against Rent (as hereinafter defined) next payable by Tenant under this Lease or, if the Lease Term has expired, any excess shall be paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration date.

(C) If this Lease shall terminate on a day other than the end of a calendar year, the amount of the Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment to be paid pursuant to Section 4.02(B) that is applicable to the calendar year in which such termination occurs shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days from January 1 of the calendar year to the termination date bears to 365. The termination of this Lease shall not affect the obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 4.03(B) to be performed after such termination.

4.04 Review of Landlord’s Statement. Provided that Tenant is not then in default beyond any applicable cure period of its obligations to pay Base Rent, additional rent described in Section 4.02(B), or any other payments required to be made by it under this Lease and provided further that Tenant strictly complies with the provisions of this Section 4.04, Tenant shall have the right, once each calendar year, to reasonably review supporting data for any portion of a Landlord’s Statement (provided, however, Tenant may not have an audit right to all documentation relating to Building operations as this would far exceed the relevant information necessary to properly document a pass-through billing statement, but real estate tax statements, and information on utilities, repairs, maintenance and insurance will be available), in accordance with the following procedure:

(A) Tenant shall, within thirty (30) business days after any such Landlord’s Statement is delivered, deliver a written notice to Landlord specifying the portions of the Landlord’s Statement that are claimed to be incorrect, and Tenant shall simultaneously pay to Landlord all amounts due from Tenant to Landlord as specified in the Landlord’s Statement. Except as expressly set forth in subsection (C) below, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to withhold, deduct, or offset any monetary obligation of Tenant to Landlord under the Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to make all payments of Base Rent and all payments of Tenant’s Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment) pending the completion of and regardless of the results of any review of records under this Section 4.04. The right of Tenant under this Section 4.04 may only be exercised once for any Landlord’s Statement, and if Tenant fails to meet any of the above conditions as a prerequisite to the exercise of such right, the right of Tenant under this Section 4.04 for a particular Landlord’s Statement shall be deemed waived.

(B) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord maintains its records for the Building at Landlord’s manager’s corporate offices presently located at the address set forth in Section 1.12 and Tenant agrees that any review of records under this Section 4.04 shall be at the sole expense of Tenant and shall be conducted by an independent firm of certified public accountants of national standing. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any records reviewed under this Section 4.04 constitute confidential information of Landlord, which shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the accountants performing the review or Tenant’s legal counsel, and the principals of Tenant who receive the results of the review. The disclosure of such information to any other person except as provided above, whether or not caused by the conduct of Tenant, shall constitute a material breach of this Lease, provided that this provision shall not be interpreted to in any way limit or prohibit Tenant disclosing the records in connection with any legal action undertaken by Tenant in connection with the enforcement of the terms of this Lease.

(C) Any errors disclosed by the review shall be promptly corrected by Landlord, provided, however, that if Landlord disagrees with any such claimed errors, Landlord shall have the right to cause another review to be made by an independent firm of certified public accountants of national standing. In the event of a disagreement between the two accounting firms, the review that discloses the least amount of deviation from the Landlord’s Statement shall be deemed to be correct. In the event that the results of the review of records (taking into account, if applicable, the results of any additional review caused by Landlord) reveal that Tenant has overpaid obligations for a preceding period, the amount of such overpayment shall be credited against Tenant’s subsequent installment obligations to pay the estimated Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment or paid to Tenant if such subsequent installments are insufficient. In the event that such results show that Tenant has underpaid its obligations for a preceding period, Tenant shall be liable for Landlord’s actual accounting fees, and the amount of such underpayment shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord with the next succeeding installment obligation of estimated Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the audit correctly reveals that Tenant’s Percentage Share of the Tax and Operating Expense Adjustment has been overstated by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall within thirty (30) days following demand reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs of the audit incurred by Tenant.

4.05 Payment. Concurrently with the execution hereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord Base Rent for the first calendar month of the Lease Term for which Base Rent is due. Thereafter the Base Rent described in Section 1.07, as adjusted in accordance with Section 4.02, shall be payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month. If the Commencement Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, the prepaid Base Rent for such partial month shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect during such partial month bears to the total number of days in the calendar month. All Rent, and all other amounts payable to Landlord by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, shall be paid to Landlord, without notice, demand, abatement, deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States at Landlord’s office in the Building or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may designate from time to time by written notice given to Tenant. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the correct Rent due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account; nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed to effect or evidence an accord and satisfaction; and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law or in equity provided.

4.06 Late Charge; Interest. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of Base Rent or any other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (all of which shall constitute additional rental to the same extent as Base Rent) will cause Landlord to incur administrative costs and other damages, the exact amount of which would be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain. Landlord and Tenant agree that if Landlord does not receive any such payment on or before five (5) days after the date the payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, (a) a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount to cover such additional administrative costs; and (b) interest on the delinquent amounts at the lesser of the maximum rate permitted by law if any or ten percent (10%) per annum from the date due to the date paid.

4.07 Additional Rent. For purposes of this Lease, all amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, whether or not denominated as such, shall constitute Base Rent. Any amounts due Landlord shall sometimes be referred to in this Lease as “Rent”.

4.08 Additional Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.01(B) to the contrary, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all taxes payable by or imposed upon Landlord upon or with respect to: any fixtures or personal property located in the Premises; any leasehold improvements made in or to the Premises by or for Tenant; the Rent payable hereunder, including, without limitation, any gross receipts tax, license fee or excise tax levied by any governmental authority; the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy of any portion of the Premises (including without limitation any applicable possessory interest taxes); or this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises.

Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain all governmental licenses and permits required to allow Tenant to conduct Tenant’s Permitted Use.

(A) Tenant shall cause the Premises to comply in all material respects with all laws, ordinances, regulations and directives of any governmental authority having jurisdiction including, without limitation, any certificate of occupancy and any law, ordinance, regulation, covenant, condition or restriction affecting the Building or the Premises which in the future may become applicable to the Premises during the Term (collectively “Applicable Laws”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such compliance requirement shall apply only to the interior of the Premises, as Landlord is obligated to so comply as to the balance of common areas of the Building, and no such requirement by Tenant to comply shall be construed as requiring Tenant to make structural or capital improvements to the Premises, except as required because of Tenant’s specific and unique use of the Premises (that is, for other than general office purposes) or because of the initial tenant improvements made to the Premises by Tenant, or any upgrades or any alterations to the Premises made by Tenant.

If Landlord receives any such notice from a Regulatory Authority with respect to the common areas for which Landlord is legally responsible, Landlord shall (subject to Tenant’s obligations set forth in Section 6.03(B)) in a manner that complies with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies of any governmental body with jurisdiction over the same, remedy such non-compliance. Landlord shall use its best efforts to minimize direct and indirect impact on Tenant during all activities related to remedy such compliance. For purposes of this provision, Landlord’s actual knowledge shall mean the knowledge of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

6.03 Hazardous Materials.

(A) No Hazardous Materials, as defined herein, shall be Handled, as also defined herein, upon, about, above or beneath the Premises or any portion of the Building by or on behalf of Tenant, its subtenants or its assignees, or their respective contractors, clients, officers, directors, employees, agents, or invitees. Any such Hazardous Materials so Handled shall be known as Tenant’s Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

normal quantities of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials customarily used in the conduct of general administrative and executive office activities (e.g., copier fluids and cleaning supplies) may be Handled at the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant’s Hazardous Materials shall be Handled at all times in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions therefor and all applicable Environmental Laws, as defined herein.

Such actions shall include, but not be limited to, the investigation of the environmental condition of the Premises or any portion of the Building, the preparation of any feasibility studies or reports and the performance of any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work. Tenant shall take all actions necessary to restore the Premises or any portion of the Building to the condition according to the standards for remediation allowable under applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant shall nevertheless obtain Landlord’s written approval prior to undertaking any actions required by this Section, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such actions would not potentially have a material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Premises or any portion of the Building.

(C) Tenant agrees to execute affidavits, representations, and the like from time to time at Landlord’s request stating Tenant’s actual knowledge and belief regarding the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Premises.

(D) “Environmental Laws” means and includes all now and hereafter existing statutes, laws, ordinances, codes, regulations, rules, rulings, orders, decrees, directives, policies and requirements by any Regulatory Authority regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning public health and safety or the environment.

Landlord shall use its best efforts to minimize direct and indirect impact on Tenant during all activities related to remediation.

6.04 Operation of Tenant’s Business.

(A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cease its business operations within and/or vacate the Premises (“Go Dark”) at any time during the Term; provided, however, Tenant shall remain obligated to perform all other obligations under this Lease, including, without limitation, the payment of Base Rent and additional Rent, subject to any early termination of this Lease by Landlord as provided below. Tenant shall not be deemed to elect to Go Dark if Tenant’s business is closed temporarily for remodeling for a period of not more than sixty (60) consecutive days or because of damages or destruction to the Premises or Building. From and after the date the Premises Go Dark, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time thereafter by providing written notice (the “Recapture Notice”) to Tenant, to

Following Tenant’s receipt of the Recapture Notice, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease, on the Recapture Date; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to rescind the Go Dark Notice by providing written notice (the “Rescission Notice”) to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Recapture Notice of Tenant’s intention to not Go Dark and instead continue business operations within the Premises for the Permitted Use, in which event, Landlord shall have no right to recapture the Premises as set forth in this Section 6.04(A), and Tenant shall continue business operations within the Premises for the Permitted Use. If Landlord properly and timely exercises the recapture option in this Section 6.04(A), this Lease shall expire at midnight on the Recapture Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Termination Fee (defined below) and surrender the Premises to Landlord on or prior to such Recapture Date in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease, and the parties hereto shall be released from any further obligations under this Lease, except for those other obligations which specifically survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. The Termination Fee to be paid by Tenant shall be equal to all of Landlord’s unamortized (amortized on a straight line basis over the initial Term) leasing costs, including, without limitation, tenant improvement costs, free rent, leasing commissions and attorneys’ fees.

(B) Tenant agrees that it will keep the Premises in a neat, clean and orderly condition and that all trash and rubbish generated by it shall be deposited within prescribed receptacles in designated service areas within the Building.

(A) Non-attended automatic elevator service (if the Building has such equipment serving the Premises), in common with Landlord and other tenants and occupants and their agents and invitees.

(B) From 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for holidays, such air conditioning, heating and ventilation as, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are required for the comfortable use and occupancy of the Premises. Landlord shall make available to Tenant heating, ventilation or air conditioning in excess of that which Landlord shall be required to provide hereunder (including services for after-hours usage to be available twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days a week, every day of the year), upon the following conditions:

(i) Tenant may request ventilation, hearing and air conditioning service for hours other than those outlined in Section 7.01(B) above, Paragraph 1 (“Overtime Air Service”). Upon at least forty eight (48) hours minimum advance written notice from Tenant to Landlord, the Landlord shall arrange for such Overtime Air Service. For each Overtime Air Service request, Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, the Landlord’s then current charge for Overtime Air Service, which costs currently are as follows:

$35.00 Service Charge.

If on weekdays, $25.00 per hour.

If on weekends, $35.00 for the first hour and $25.00 per hour thereafter.

Tenant shall be entitled to zero (0) calendar days per year at no cost.

Such costs shall be paid to Landlord, at the same address provided for rent and notices or such other addresses as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice. Tenant shall provide the appropriate billing address for Overtime Air Service in the space provided below, and shall notify Landlord in writing of any change in address.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Landlord’s fee for any such additional heating, ventilation or air conditioning provided to Tenant, to be set by Landlord as provided above based on Landlord’s actual costs for said services, will be separate from and in addition to the Tax and Operating Expenses Adjustment provide in Article 4.

(D) Reasonable standard janitorial and cleaning services five (5) days per week consistent with such services typically provided for Class A office buildings in Downtown Sacramento and in addition, the following services described on Exhibit F attached hereto, provided that the Premises are used exclusively for the

Permitted Use and are kept reasonably in order by Tenant. If the Premises are not used exclusively as offices, Landlord, at Landlord’s sole discretion, may require that the Premises be kept clean and in order by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to the satisfaction of Landlord and by persons approved by Landlord; and, in all events, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of removal of Tenants refuse and rubbish, to the extent that the same exceeds the refuse and rubbish attendant to normal office usage.

(E) At all times, twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days a week, every day of the year, electric current in reasonable wattages for building standard lighting and fractional horsepower office machines; provided, however, that (i) without Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall not install, or permit the installation, in the Premises of any equipment or machines which will increase Tenant’s use of electric current in excess of that which Landlord is obligated to provide hereunder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude the use of personal computers or similar office equipment); (ii) if Tenant shall require electric current which may disrupt the provision of electrical service to other tenants, Landlord may refuse to grant its consent or may condition its consent upon Tenant’s payment of the cost of installing and providing any additional facilities required to furnish such excess power to the Premises and upon the installation in the Premises of electric current meters to measure the amount of electric current consumed, in which latter event Tenant shall pay for the cost of such meter(s) and the cost of installation, maintenance and repair thereof, as well as for all excess electric current consumed at the rates charged by the applicable local public utility, plus a reasonable amount to cover the additional expenses incurred by Landlord in keeping account of the electric current so consumed; and (iii) if Tenant’s increased electrical requirements will materially affect the temperature level in the Premises or the Building, Landlord’s consent may be conditioned upon Tenant’s requirement to pay such amounts as will be incurred by Landlord to install and operate any machinery or equipment necessary to restore the temperature level to that otherwise required to be provided by Landlord, including but not limited to the cost of modifications to the air conditioning system. Landlord shall not, in any way, be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage or expense which Tenant may incur or sustain if, for any reasons beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, either the quantity or character of electric service is changed or is no longer available or suitable for Tenant’s requirements. Tenant covenants that at all times its use of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders, risers or electrical installations of the Building. If submetering of electricity in the Building will not be permitted under future laws or regulations, the Rent will then be equitably and periodically adjusted to include an additional payment to Landlord reflecting the cost to Landlord for furnishing electricity to Tenant in the Premises.

Any amounts which Tenant is required to pay to Landlord pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be payable within thirty (30) days following invoicing by Landlord and shall constitute additional rent.

7.02 Interruption of Services. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to furnish, stoppage of, or interruption in furnishing any of the services or utilities described in Section 7.01, when such failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, labor disturbances, governmental regulation, civil disturbances, acts of war, moratorium or other governmental action, or any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and, in such event, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages nor shall any failure or interruption ▇▇▇▇▇ or suspend Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent and additional rent required under this Lease or constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant. Further, in the event any governmental authority or public utility promulgates or revises any law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or issues mandatory controls or voluntary controls relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light or electricity, the reduction of automobile or other emissions, or the provision of any other utility or service, Landlord may take any reasonably appropriate action to comply with such law, ordinance, rule, regulation, mandatory control or voluntary guideline and Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any such action of Landlord. The parties acknowledge that safety and security devices, services and programs provided by Landlord, if any, while intended to deter crime and ensure safety, may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts, or ensure safety of persons or property. The risk that any safety or security device, service or program may not be effective, or may malfunction, or be circumvented by a criminal, is assumed by Tenant with respect to Tenant’s property and interests, and Tenant shall obtain insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts and other losses, as further described in this Lease. Tenant agrees to cooperate in any reasonable safety or security program developed by Landlord or required by Law.

ARTICLE 8 – MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

8.01 Landlord’s Obligations. Except as provided in Sections 8.02 and 8.03 below, Landlord shall maintain the Building and the common areas of the Building and the parking area facilities serving the Building in good and sanitary condition and repair throughout the Lease Term equivalent to that for similar Class “A” buildings in the Sacramento central business district and shall maintain and repair the structural portions of the Building (including without limitation the foundations exterior walls, structural condition of interior bearing walls, exterior roof) and the Building Systems defined as the plumbing, HVAC, electrical, fire/life safety elevator and security system, except to the extent the need for such repair or maintenance was due to damage caused by Tenant (subject to the final sentence of Section 8.02 below); provided, however, that Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance in the Premises unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. Except as provided in Article XI, there shall be no abatement of Rent, nor shall there be any liability of Landlord, by reason of any injury or inconvenience to, or interference with, Tenant’s business or operations arising from the making of, or failure to make, any maintenance or repairs in or to any portion of the Building.

8.02 Tenant’s Obligations. Subject to Landlord’s obligations during the Lease Term, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain the non-structural portions of the Premises in good order and repair (including, without limitation, the carpet, wall-covering, doors and other trade fixtures, equipment, alterations and

improvements, and the Building Systems to the extent located within the Premises and exclusively serving the Premises whether installed by Landlord or Tenant). Further, and subject to the final sentence of this Section 8.02, Tenant shall be responsible for, and upon demand by Landlord shall promptly reimburse Landlord for, any damage to any portion of the Building or the Premises caused by (a) Tenant’s activities in the Building or the Premises; (b) the performance or existence of any alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant in or to the Premises; (c) the installation, use, operation or movement of Tenant’s property in or about the Building or the Premises; or (d) any act or omission by Tenant or its officers, partners, employees, agents, contractors or invitees. Nothing in this provision is intended to require Tenant to pay for any cost incurred to the extent such cost is covered by insurance required to be maintained by either party to this Lease, or, in the case of Landlord’s required insurance, would have been covered if Landlord’s insurance was properly maintained under this Lease.

8.03 Landlord’s Rights. Subject to the limitations in Article 21 below, Landlord and its contractors shall have the right, at all reasonable times and upon prior oral or telephonic notice to Tenant at the Premises, other than in the case of any emergency in which case no notice shall be required, to enter upon the Premises to make any repairs to the Premises or the Building reasonably required or deemed reasonably necessary by Landlord and to erect such equipment, including scaffolding, as is reasonably necessary to effect such repairs.

ARTICLE 9 - ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS

9.01 Landlord’s Consent; Conditions. Except for the Tenant’s Work described in the Work Letter Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B which shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter Agreement, Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any alterations, additions, or improvements in or to the Premises (“Alterations”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed beyond ten (10) business days after Tenant has provided Landlord with plans and specifications therefor. Landlord may impose as a condition to making any Alterations such requirements as Landlord in its reasonable discretion deems necessary or desirable including without limitation: Tenant’s submission to Landlord, for Landlord’s prior written reasonable approval, of all plans and specifications relating to the Alterations; Landlord’s prior written reasonable approval of the time or times when the Alterations are to be performed; Landlord’s prior written reasonable approval of the contractors and subcontractors performing work in connection with the Alterations; employment of union contractors and subcontractors who shall not cause labor disharmony; Tenant’s receipt of all necessary permits and approvals from all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises prior to the construction of the Alterations; Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of such bonds and insurance as Landlord shall reasonably require; and Tenant’s payment to Landlord of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord because of Tenant’s Alterations, including but not limited to costs incurred in reviewing the plans and specifications for, and the progress of, the Alterations. Tenant is required to provide Landlord written notice of whether the Alterations include the Handling of any Hazardous Materials and whether these materials are of a customary and typical nature for industry practices. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises that exceeds seventy (70) pounds per square foot “live load.” Upon completion of the Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of as-built plans. Neither the approval by Landlord of plans and specifications relating to any Alterations nor Landlord’s supervision or monitoring of any Alterations shall constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy of the design for Tenant’s intended use or the proper performance of the Alterations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 9, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to make Alterations to the Premises without Landlord’s consent, but upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord, provided that such alterations, additions and/or improvements (a) do not cost in the aggregate more than Ten Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) in any twelve (12) month period in each instance; (b) do not adversely affect the Building structure; (c) do not adversely affect the Building systems; (d) do not affect the exterior appearance of the Building; (e) comply with Applicable Laws; and (f) do not unreasonably interfere with the normal and customary business operations of the other tenants in the Building (individually and collectively a “Design Problem”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, subject only to Landlord’s approval, which Landlord may withhold in its reasonable discretion, to install, maintain, modify and if necessary relocate a vault and up to one (1) Automated Teller Machine (“ATM”) and a night depository on the Premises accessible by walk by invitees of the Tenant from the Common Area outside the Premises, along with such lighting and security systems required under Applicable Law for such installations. Landlord agrees that Tenant’s continued operation, maintenance and repair and/or replacement of Tenant’s ATM in this existing location in the Premises as of the Commencement Date shall not require any additional approval by Landlord. Subject to Tenant’s compliance with all Applicable Laws, Landlord further agrees that Tenant shall have the exclusive right to install and operate an ATM in the Building.

9.02 Performance of Alterations Work. All work relating to the Alterations shall be performed in compliance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord which approval will not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed, all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and directives of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction (including without limitation Title 24 of the California Administrative Code) and the requirements of all carriers of insurance on the Premises and the Building, the Board of Underwriters, Fire Rating Bureau, or similar organization. All reasonable work shall be performed in a diligent, first class manner and so as not to unreasonably interfere with any other tenants or occupants of the Building. All costs incurred by Landlord relating to the Alterations shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant as additional rent upon demand. No asbestos-containing materials shall be used or incorporated in the Alterations. No lead-containing surfacing material, solder, or other construction materials or fixtures where the presence of lead might create a condition of exposure not in compliance with Environmental Laws shall be incorporated in the Alterations.

9.03 Liens. Tenant shall pay when due all costs for work performed and materials supplied to the Premises. Tenant shall keep Landlord, the Premises and the Building free from all liens, stop notices and violation notices relating to the Alterations or any other work performed for, materials furnished to or obligations incurred by

or for Tenant and Tenant shall protect, indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord, the Premises and the Building of and from any and all loss, cost, damage, liability and expense, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to any such liens or notices. Further, Tenant shall give Landlord not less then seven (7) business days prior written notice before commencing any Alterations in or about the Premises to permit Landlord to post appropriate notices of non-responsibility. During the progress of such work, Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s request, furnish Landlord with sworn contractor’s statements and lien waivers covering all work theretofore performed. Tenant shall satisfy or otherwise discharge all liens, stop notices or other claims or encumbrances within ten (10) days after Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that any such lien, stop notice, claim or encumbrance has been filed. If Tenant fails to pay and remove such lien, claim or encumbrance within such ten (10) days, Landlord, at its election, may pay and satisfy the same and in such event the sums so paid by Landlord, with interest from the date of payment at the rate set forth in Section 4.06 hereof for amounts owed Landlord by Tenant shall be deemed to be additional rent due and payable by Tenant at once without notice or demand.

9.04 Lease Termination. Except as provided in this Section 9.04, upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as existed on the date Tenant first occupied the Premises, (whether pursuant to this Lease or an earlier lease), subject to reasonable wear and tear, and shall surrender all keys, any key cards, and any parking stickers or cards, to Landlord, and advise Landlord as to the combination of any locks or vaults then remaining in the Premises. All Alterations shall become a part of the Premises and shall become the property of Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, unless Landlord shall, by written notice given to Tenant at the time of Landlord’s consent to such Alterations or within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice to Landlord of Alterations not requiring Landlord’s consent as provided in such 9.01 above, require Tenant to remove some or all of Tenant’s Alterations, in which event Tenant shall promptly, upon termination of the Lease Term, remove the designated Alterations and shall promptly repair any resulting damage, all at Tenant’s sole expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, ATMs, furniture, movable partitions, signs or other items identifying Tenant’s business or Tenant’s proprietary marks on the Premises and items of personal property owned by Tenant or installed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises shall be and remain the property of Tenant; upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall have the obligation, at its sole expense, to remove all such items (excluding the vault, which shall remain on the Premises), provided Tenant shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal. If Tenant fails to remove any items Tenant is required to remove under the terms of this Section 9.04 or to repair damage caused by such removal promptly after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Landlord may, but need not, do so with no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof upon demand. Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of any property removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to any provisions of this Lease or any law. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event that Landlord gives its consent, pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.01 of this Lease, to allow Tenant to make an Alteration in the Premises, Landlord agrees, upon Tenant’s written request, to notify Tenant in writing at the time of the giving of such consent whether Landlord will require Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, to remove such Alteration at the end of the Lease Term. Landlord hereby waives any security interest in Tenant’s removable partitions, vault, ATMs or other business or trade fixtures, furnishings, facsimile machinery, equipment, communication equipment or other business property of Tenant’s located in the Premises and acquired by or for the accounting of Tenant, to secure the payment of Rent, under this Lease or any other obligations of Tenant.

This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Lease only as to claims arising out of events that occur prior to the termination of this Lease.

(C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing shall be interpreted or used to in any way affect, limit, reduce or abrogate any insurance coverage provided by any insurers to either Tenant or Landlord.

(C) Landlord shall, at all times during the Lease Term, procure and maintain the broadest available “all-risk” (special form-causes of loss) property insurance in the amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the insurable replacement cost covering the Building in which the Premises are located and such other insurance as may be required by a Mortgagee or otherwise desired by Landlord.

10.03 Liability Insurance.

(A) At all times during the Lease Term, Tenant shall procure and maintain, at its sole expense, commercial general liability insurance applying to the use and occupancy of the Premises and the business operated by Tenant.

All such policies shall be written to apply to all bodily injury, property damage, personal injury losses and shall be endorsed to include Landlord and its agents, beneficiaries, partners, employees, and any deed of trust holder or mortgagee of Landlord or any ground lessor as additional insureds. Such liability insurance shall be written as primary policies, not excess or contributing with or secondary to any other insurance as may be available to the additional insureds.

A certificate of insurance (or, at Landlord’s option, copies of the applicable policies) evidencing the insurance required under this Article X shall be delivered to Landlord not less than ten (10) days prior to the Commencement Date. No such policy shall be subject to cancellation or modification without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and to any deed of trust holder, mortgagee or ground lessor designated by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a replacement certificate with respect to any insurance not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the current policy. Tenant shall have the right to provide the insurance required by this Article X pursuant to blanket policies, but only if such blanket policies expressly provide coverage to the Premises and Landlord as required by this Lease.

10.06 Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or remedies, Landlord and Tenant each release and relieve the other, hereby waive their entire right of recovery against the other for loss or damage to its property arising out of or incident to the perils or hazards required to be covered by property insurance under this Lease. Any policy of property insurance to be provided by Tenant or Landlord pursuant to paragraph 10.02 (A), (B) and (C) and 10.04 shall contain a clause denying the applicable insurer any right of subrogation against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, provided such insurance is not invalidated thereby.

10.07 Failure to Insure. If Tenant fails to maintain any insurance which Tenant is required to maintain pursuant to this Article X, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any loss or cost resulting from such failure to maintain. Tenant may not self-insure against any risks required to be covered by insurance without Landlord’s prior written consent.

ARTICLE 11 – DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

11.01 Total Destruction. Except as provided in Section 11.03 below, this Lease shall automatically terminate if the Building is totally destroyed.

11.02 Partial Destruction of Premises. If the Premises are damaged by any casualty and, in Landlord’s opinion, the Premises (exclusive of any Alterations made to the Premises by Tenant) can be restored to its pre-existing condition within two hundred ten (210) days after the date of the damage or destruction, Landlord shall, upon written notice from Tenant to Landlord of such damage, except as provided in Section 11.03, promptly and with due diligence repair any damage to the Premises (exclusive of any Alterations to the Premises made by Tenant, which shall be promptly repaired by Tenant at its sole expense) and, until such repairs are completed, the Rent shall be abated from the date of damage or destruction in the same proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises which is unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business bears to the total rentable area of the Premises. Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of how long the repair or restoration shall take within seventy five (75) days after Tenant’s notice to Landlord of such damage or destruction. If such repairs cannot, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, be made within said two hundred ten (210) day period, then Landlord may, at its option, exercisable by written notice given to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the damage or destruction, elect to make the repairs within a reasonable time after the damage or destruction, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and effect but the Rent shall be abated as provided in the preceding sentence; if Landlord does not so elect to make the repairs, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right, by written notice given to the other within sixty (60) days after the date of the damage or destruction, to terminate this Lease as of the date of the damage or destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such repairs cannot reasonably be made within said two hundred ten (210) day period, or if such repairs are not actually completed within two hundred forty (240) days, or if at the time the damage or destruction occurs, less than one (1) year remains in the Term, then in any such event, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date of such notice.

11.03 Exceptions to Landlord’s Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI, Landlord shall have no obligation to repair the Premises if either: (a) the Building in which the Premises are located is so damaged as to require repairs to the Building exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the full insurable value of the Building; or (b) Landlord elects to demolish the Building in which the Premises are located; or (c) the damage or destruction occurs less than two (2) years prior to the Termination Date, exclusive of option

periods. Further, Tenant’s Rent shall not be abated if either (i) the damage or destruction is repaired within five (5) business days after Landlord receives written notice from Tenant of the casualty, or (ii) Tenant, or any officers, partners, employees, agents or invitees of Tenant, or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant, is, in whole or in part, responsible for the damage or destruction.

11.04 Waiver. The provisions contained in this Lease shall supersede any contrary laws (whether statutory, common law or otherwise) now or hereafter in effect relating to damage, destruction, self-help or termination, including California Civil Code Sections 1932 and 1933.

ARTICLE 12 – CONDEMNATION

12.01 Taking. If the entire Premises or so much of the Premises as to render the balance unusable by Tenant shall be taken by condemnation, sale in lieu of condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public purpose (collectively “Condemnation”), then this Lease shall terminate on the date that title or possession to the Premises is taken by the condemning authority, whichever is earlier.

12.02 Award. In the event of any Condemnation, the entire award for such taking shall belong to Landlord. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the award for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease or otherwise; provided that nothing contained in this Section 12.02 shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or require Tenant to assign to Landlord any award or compensation to Tenant for the taking of Tenant’s personal property, or the unamortized costs of Tenant’s improvements to the extent paid for by Tenant and Tenant shall also be entitled to independently pursue a separate award in a separate proceeding for Tenant’s relocation costs directly associated with the taking, provided such separate award does not diminish Landlord’s award. In the event of a partial taking which does not result in a termination of this Lease as provided above, Rent shall be proportionally reduced based upon the portion of the Premises rendered unusable, and Landlord shall restore the Premises and the Building to the extent of available condemnation proceeds.

12.03 Temporary Taking. No temporary taking of the Premises shall terminate this Lease or entitle Tenant to any abatement of the Rent payable to Landlord under this Lease; provided, further, that any award for such temporary taking shall belong to Tenant to the extent that the award applies to any time period during the Lease Term and to Landlord to the extent that the award applies to any time period outside the Lease Term.

ARTICLE 13 – RELOCATION

[INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

ARTICLE 14 – ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.01 Restriction. Without the prior written consent of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed beyond ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request therefor, Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, encumber, or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest herein, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than Tenant or Tenant’s employees (any such assignment, encumbrance, subletting, occupation or transfer is hereinafter referred to as a “Transfer”). Any dissolution, merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets, other reorganization, connected or related sale or transfer of a controlling percentage of capital stock, or sale of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the value of the assets of Tenant shall be deemed a “Transfer” for purposes of this paragraph. The phrase “controlling percentage” means ownership of or right to vote stock possessing, cumulatively, at least twenty five percent (25%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote for election of directors. The preceding two (2) sentences of this paragraph shall not apply (each, a “Permitted Transfer”) (1) to transfers pursuant to a decree of a probate court, or transfers by any shareholder of any shares by way of inheritance, bequest, devise, or transfer in trust to the shareholder’s issue or persons constituting shareholder’s presumptive heirs at law, by way of gifts to the same persons, by way of sales to the same persons or to a trust established primarily for the shareholder’s benefit, provided that any subsequent transferee of such shares by any of the foregoing means shall be subject to this Section 14.01, (2) to sales of stock through a public exchange, at arm’s length in the over-the-counter market (including pink sheets), (3) to transfers as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets whereby Tenant or its assets are acquired, provided the surviving entity or successor entity expressly and unconditionally assumes all Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and further provided that the surviving or successor entity’s financial condition, as reflected in consolidated audited financial statements, shall, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, be reasonably adequate to assure that the surviving or successor entity will be able to satisfy the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease for the duration of its term; if no such financial statements are available at the time of the merger, acquisition or sale of assets, then the transaction shall be deemed an assignment and Landlord’s consent shall be required or (4) to an “Affiliate”. As used herein, “Affiliate” shall mean any corporation or other entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with (directly or indirectly) Tenant, including without limitation, any parent corporation controlling Tenant or any subsidiary that Tenant controls. The term “control”, as used herein, shall mean the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the controlled entity through the ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities in such controlled entity. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XIV to the contrary, Tenant expressly covenants and agrees not to enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement for use, occupancy or utilization of the Premises which provides for rental or other payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based in whole or in part on the net income or profits derived by any person from the property leased, used, occupied or utilized (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of

receipts or sales), and that any such purported lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement shall be absolutely void and ineffective as a conveyance of any right or interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of any part of the Premises.

14.02 Notice to Landlord. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or any interest herein, or to sublet all or any part of the Premises, then at least thirty (30) days but not more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the effective date of the proposed assignment or subletting, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in connection with Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent:

(A) A statement containing (i) the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (ii) such financial information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant as Landlord shall reasonably require; (iii) the type of use proposed for the Premises; and (iv) all of the principal terms of the proposed assignment or subletting;

(B) Four (4) originals of the assignment or sublease on a form approved by Landlord and four (4) originals of the Landlord’s Consent to Sublease or Assignment and Assumption of Lease and Consent; and

(C) Insurance certificates evidencing the assignee’s or subtenant’s compliance with all insurance obligations required of Tenant under this Lease.

14.03 [Intentionally Omitted].

14.04 Landlord’s Consent; Standards. Landlord’s consent to a proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld; but, in addition to any other grounds for denial, Landlord’s consent shall be deemed reasonably withheld if, in Landlord’s good faith judgment: (i) the proposed assignee or subtenant does not have the financial strength to perform its obligations under this Lease or any proposed sublease; (ii) the business and operations of the proposed assignee or subtenant are not of comparable quality to the business and operations being conducted by other tenants in the Building; (iii) the proposed assignee or subtenant intends to use any part of the Premises for a purpose not permitted under this Lease; (iv) either the proposed assignee or subtenant, or any person which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the proposed assignee or subtenant occupies space in the Building, or is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building; (v) the proposed assignee or subtenant is disreputable; or (vi) the use of the Premises or the Building by the proposed assignee or subtenant would, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, impact the Building in a negative manner including but not limited to significantly increasing the pedestrian traffic in and out of the Building or requiring any alterations to the Building to comply with applicable laws; (vii) the subject space is not regular in shape with appropriate means of ingress and egress suitable for normal renting purposes; (viii) the transferee is a government (or agency or instrumentality thereof) or (ix) Tenant has failed to cure a default at the time Tenant requests consent tot the proposed Transfer.

14.05 Additional Rent. If Landlord consents to any such assignment or subletting, one-half (1/2) of the net amount by which all sums or other economic consideration received by Tenant in connection with such assignment or subletting, whether denominated as rental or otherwise, less Tenant’s reasonable costs incurred to consummate the transfer including without limitation reasonable brokerage fees, marketing costs, tenant improvement allowances or other similar costs actually paid by Tenant in assigning or subletting the Premises, exceeds, in the aggregate, the total sum which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to less than all of the Premises under a sublease) shall be paid to Landlord promptly after receipt as additional Rent under the Lease without affecting or reducing any other obligation of Tenant hereunder.

14.06 Landlord’s Costs. If Tenant shall Transfer this Lease or all or any part of the Premises or shall request the consent of Landlord to any Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent Landlord’s reasonable costs related thereto, including Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and a minimum fee to Landlord of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00).

14.07 Continuing Liability of Tenant. Notwithstanding any Transfer, including an assignment or sublease to an Affiliate, Tenant shall remain as fully and primarily liable for the payment of Rent and for the performance of all other obligations of Tenant contained in this Lease to the same extent as if the Transfer had not occurred; provided, however, that any act or omission of any transferee, other than Landlord, that violates the terms of this Lease shall be deemed a violation of this Lease by Tenant.

14.08 Non-Waiver. The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not relieve Tenant, or any person claiming through or by Tenant, of the obligation to obtain the consent of Landlord, pursuant to this Article XIV, to any further Transfer. In the event of an assignment or subletting, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee or the subtenant without waiving any rights hereunder and collection of the rent from a person other than Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights under this Article XIV, an acceptance of assignee or subtenant as Tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. If Tenant shall default under this Lease and fail to cure within the time permitted, Landlord is irrevocably authorized to direct any transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured.

ARTICLE 15 – DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

15.01 Events of Default By Tenant. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:

(A) The failure by Tenant to pay Base Rent or make any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder as and when due, if such failure continues for five (5) business days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided however such five (5) day notice described herein shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any other law now or hereafter in effect requiring that notice of default be given prior to the commencement of any unlawful detainer or other legal proceeding.

(B) The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or the vacation of the Premises by Tenant for fourteen (14) consecutive days (with or without the payment of Rent).

The thirty (30) day notice described herein shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Section 1161 of the California Civil Code of Procedure or any other law now or hereafter in effect requiring that notice of default be given prior to the commencement of an unlawful detainer or other legal proceeding.

(E) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the filing by or against Tenant of a petition under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days after filing); the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets at the Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises, when possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises, if such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.

(F) Any material misrepresentation herein, or material misrepresentation or omission in any financial statements or other materials provided by Tenant in connection with negotiating or entering into this Lease or in connection with any Transfer under Section 14.01.

15.02 Landlord’s Right to Terminate Upon Tenant Default. In the event of any default by Tenant as provided in Section 15.01 above, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and recover possession of the Premises by giving written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease, in which event Landlord shall be entitled to receive from Tenant:

(A) The worth at the time of award of any 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 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 rental 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 under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and

(E) At Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

As used in subparagraphs (A) and (B) above, “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest on such amounts at the then highest lawful rate of interest, but in no event to exceed one percent (1%) per annum plus the rate established by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco on advances made to member banks under Sections of the Federal Reserve Act (“discount rate”) prevailing at the time of the award. As used in paragraph (C) above, “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount by (i) the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco prevailing at the time of award plus (ii) one percent (1%).

15.03 Mitigation of Damages. If Landlord terminates this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate Landlord’s damages except to the extent required by applicable law. If Landlord has not terminated this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate under any circumstances and may permit the Premises to remain vacant or abandoned. If Landlord is required to mitigate damages as provided herein: (i) Landlord shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to mitigate, which shall not exceed such efforts as Landlord generally uses to lease other space in the Building, (ii) Landlord will not be deemed to have failed to mitigate if Landlord or its affiliates lease any other portions of the Building or other projects owned by Landlord or its affiliates in the same geographic area,

before reletting all or any portion of the Premises, and (iii) any failure to mitigate as described herein with respect to any period of time shall only reduce the Rent and other amounts to which Landlord is entitled hereunder by the reasonable rental value of the Premises during such period. In recognition that the value of the Building depends on the rental rates and terms of leases therein, Landlord’s rejection of a prospective replacement tenant based on an offer of rentals below Landlord’s published rates for new leases of comparable space at the Building at the time in question, or at Landlord’s option, below the rates provided in this Lease, or containing terms less favorable than those contained herein, shall not give rise to a claim by Tenant that Landlord failed to mitigate Landlord’s damages.

15.04 Landlord’s Right To Continue Lease Upon Tenant Default. In the event of a default of this Lease and abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 15.02 above, Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s default and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to Transfer, subject to reasonable limitations). In the event Landlord re-lets the Premises, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the proceeds of any reletting shall be applied first to pay to Landlord all costs and expenses of such reletting (including without limitation, costs and expenses of retaking or repossessing the Premises, removing persons and property therefrom, securing new tenants, including expenses for redecoration, alterations and other costs in connection with preparing the Premises for the new tenant, and if Landlord shall maintain and operate the Premises, the costs thereof) and receivers’ fees incurred in connection with the appointment of and performance by a receiver to protect the Premises and Landlord’s interest under this Lease and any necessary or reasonable alterations; second, to the payment of any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than Rent due and unpaid hereunder; third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of other or future obligations of Tenant to Landlord as the same may become due and payable, and Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any portion of such revenue.

15.05 Right of Landlord to Perform. All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any payment or perform any such other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed, without waiving or releasing Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. Any sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon at the lesser of the maximum rate permitted by law if any or ten percent (10%) per annum from the date of such payment, shall be payable to Landlord as additional rent on demand and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies in the event of nonpayment as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Rent.

15.06 Default Under Other Leases. If the term of any lease, other than this Lease, heretofore or hereafter made by Tenant for any office space in the Building shall be terminated or terminable after the making of this Lease because of any default by Tenant under such other lease, such fact shall empower Landlord, at Landlord’s sole option, to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant or to exercise any of the rights or remedies set forth in Section 15.02.

15.07 Non-Waiver. Nothing in this Article shall be deemed to affect Landlord’s rights to indemnification for liability or liabilities arising prior to termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises for personal injury or property damages under the indemnification clause or clauses contained in this Lease. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the Rent then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such rent due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in the Lease provided. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or to Landlord’s agent or any employee thereof shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises.

15.08 Cumulative Remedies. The specific remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of the Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which it may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions of the Lease. In addition to the other remedies provided in the Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to a restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of the Lease or to a decree compelling specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions.

15.09 Default by Landlord. Landlord’s failure to perform or observe any of its obligations under this Lease shall constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease only if such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days (or the additional time, if any, that is reasonably necessary to promptly and diligently cure the failure) after Landlord receives written notice from Tenant specifying the default. The notice shall give in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure and shall identify the Lease provision(s) containing the obligation(s). If Landlord shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease (after notice and opportunity to cure as provided herein), Tenant may pursue any remedies available to it under the law and this Lease, except that, in no event, shall Landlord be liable for punitive damages, lost profits, business interruption, speculative, consequential or other such damages. In recognition that Landlord must receive timely payments of Rent and operate the Building, Tenant shall have no right of self-help to perform repairs or any other obligation of Landlord, and shall have no right to withhold, set-off, or ▇▇▇▇▇ Rent.

ARTICLE 16 ATTORNEYS’ FEES: COSTS OF SUIT

16.01 Attorneys Fees. If either Landlord or Tenant shall commence any action or other proceeding against the other arising out of, or relating to, this Lease or the Premises, or if the services of an attorney are required upon the bankruptcy of a party to this Lease to compel or object to assumption or rejection of this Lease, seek relief from the automatic stay or object to an action to recover a preference or fraudulent transfer, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party, in addition to any other relief, its actual attorneys’ fees irrespective of whether or not the action or other proceeding is prosecuted to judgment and irrespective of any court schedule of reasonable attorneys’ fees. In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in collecting Rent, resolving any actual default by Tenant, securing indemnification as provided in Article X and paragraphs, 16.02, 23.01 and 25.01 herein or otherwise seeking enforcement against Tenant, its sublessees and assigns, of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

16.02 Indemnification. Should Landlord be made a party to any litigation instituted by Tenant against a party other than Landlord, or by a third party against Tenant, Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from any and all loss, cost, liability, damage or expense incurred by Landlord, including attorneys’ fees, in connection with the litigation.

ARTICLE 17 – SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

17.01 Subordination. This Lease, and the rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate to the interest of (i) all present and future ground leases and master leases of all or any part of the Building; (ii) present and future mortgages and deeds of trust encumbering all or any part of the Building; (iii) all past and future advances made under any such mortgages or deeds of trust; and (iv) all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of any such ground leases, master leases, mortgages and deeds of trust; provided that any future Mortgagee recognize this tenancy and provided further that Tenant shall not be disturbed by such future Mortgagee unless and until Tenant is in default of any provision of this Lease; and provided further, however, that any lessor under any such ground lease or master lease or any mortgagee or beneficiary under any such mortgage or deed of trust ( any such lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary is hereinafter referred to as a “Mortgagee”) shall have the right to elect, by written notice given to Tenant, to have this Lease made superior in whole or in part to any such ground lease, master lease, mortgage or deed of trust (or subject and subordinate to such ground lease, master lease, mortgage or deed of trust but superior to any junior mortgage or junior deed of trust). Upon demand, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments reasonably requested by Landlord or any such Mortgagee to effect the purposes of this Section 17.01. Such instruments may contain, among other things, provisions to the effect that such Mortgagee (hereafter, for the purposes of this Section 17.01, a “Successor Landlord”) shall (i) not be liable for any act or omission of Landlord or its predecessors, if any, prior to the date of such Successor Landlord’s succession to Landlord’s interest under this Lease; (ii) not be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have been able to assert against Landlord or its predecessors, if any, prior to the date of such Successor Landlord’s succession to Landlord’s interest under this Lease; (iii) not be liable for the return of any security deposit under the Lease unless the same shall have actually been deposited with such Successor Landlord; (iv) be entitled to receive notice of any Landlord default under this Lease plus the same concurrent opportunity to cure such default prior to Tenant having any right or ability to terminate this Lease as a result of such Landlord default; (v) not be bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to Landlord; (vi) not be bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease or any cancellation or surrender of the same made without Successor Landlord’s prior written consent; (vii) not be bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time such Successor Landlord succeeded to Landlord’s interest and (viii) not be bound by any obligation under the Lease to perform any work or to make any improvements to the demised Premises but otherwise shall not enlarge Tenant’s obligations (other than for ministerial acts) or decrease Tenant’s rights under this Lease by reason of such instrument. Any obligations of any Successor Landlord under its respective lease shall be non-recourse as to any assets of such Successor Landlord other than its interest in the Premises and improvements.

17.02 Attornment.

(A) If the interests of Landlord under the Lease shall be transferred to any superior Mortgagee or other purchaser or person taking title to the Building by reason of the termination of any superior lease or the foreclosure of any superior mortgage or deed of trust, Tenant shall be bound to such Successor Landlord under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof remaining and any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance with any option therefor in the Lease, with the same force and effect as if Successor Landlord were the landlord under the Lease, and Tenant shall attorn to and recognize as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease such Successor Landlord, as its landlord, said attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments upon Successor Landlord’s succeeding to the interest of Landlord under the Lease. Tenant shall, upon demand, execute any documents reasonably requested by any such person to evidence the attornment described in this Section 17.02.

(B) Upon written request from Tenant, and provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Landlord agrees to use diligent, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Non-Disturbance Agreement from the current or future Mortgagee or any Successor Landlord which Agreement shall provide that in the event of any foreclosure, sale under power of sale, groundlease or master lease termination, or transfer in lieu thereof, or the exercise of any remedy thereunder, that (i) Tenant’s use, possession and enjoyment of the Premises and this Lease (and any options to extend the term thereof) shall not be disturbed, (ii) this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a lease directly with the Successor Landlord, and (iii) subject to the provisions of Section 17.01 above, Tenant’s obligations shall not be increased nor Tenant’s rights decreased under this Lease by reason of such

transaction so long as Tenant is not in material default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period. Such Non-Disturbance Agreement may be embodied in the Mortgagee’s customary form of Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement. If, after exerting diligent, commercially reasonable efforts, Landlord is unable to obtain a Non-Disturbance Agreement from any such Mortgagee or Successor Landlord, Landlord shall have no further obligation to Tenant with respect thereto, except that Tenant shall have the right to contact such Mortgagee or Successor Landlord directly to seek to obtain a Non-Disturbance Agreement therefrom and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant’s efforts to obtain such Non-Disturbance Agreement. Landlord agrees to give Tenant prior written notice of any future Mortgagee in order to afford Tenant an opportunity to request Landlord obtain a Non-Disturbance Agreement therefrom.

17.03 Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagee, by registered or certified mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord by Tenant, 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 (hereafter the “Notified Party”). The Notified Party shall have the time to cure the default set forth in the second clause (iv) of Section 17.01 above.

ARTICLE 18 – QUIET ENJOYMENT

18.01 Provided that Tenant shall not be in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice or cure period, Tenant shall have and peaceably enjoy the Premises during the Lease Term free of claims by or through Landlord, subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.

ARTICLE 19 – RULES AND REGULATIONS

19.01 The Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit C are hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof. Tenant shall abide by, and faithfully observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations and any reasonable and non-discriminatory amendments, modifications and/or additions thereto as may hereafter be adopted and published by written notice to tenants by Landlord for the safety, care, security, good order and/or cleanliness of the Premises and/or the Building provided that Tenant shall be given prior written notice of any such amendment, modification and/or addition, and such Rules and Regulations shall not be modified or added to by Landlord in such a way as to materially interfere with Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any violation of such rules and regulations by any other tenant or occupant of the Building.

ARTICLE 20 – ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

20.01 Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time upon not less than seven (7) days’ prior written notice from Landlord to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing addressed and certifying to Landlord, to any current or prospective Mortgagee or any assignee thereof, to any prospective purchaser of the land, improvements or both comprising the Building, and to any other party designated by Landlord, that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (of if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications); that Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises, which are acceptable in all respects, and that any improvements required by the terms of this Lease to be made by Landlord have been completed to the satisfaction of Tenant; that Tenant is in full occupancy of the Premises; that no rent has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance; that the first month’s Base Rent has been paid; that Tenant is entitled to no free rent or other concessions except as stated in this Lease; that Tenant has not been notified of any previous assignment of Landlord’s or any predecessor landlord’s interest under this Lease; the dates to which Base Rent, additional rental and other charges have been paid; that Tenant, as of the date of such certificate, has no charge, lien or claim of setoff under this Lease or otherwise against Base Rent, additional rental or other charges due or to become due under this Lease; that to Tenant’s current, actual knowledge, Landlord is not in default in performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease; or any other matter relating to this Lease or the Premises or, if so, specifying each such default. In addition, in the event that such certificate is being given to any Mortgagee, such statement may contain any other provisions customarily required by such Mortgagee including, without limitation, an agreement on the part of Tenant to furnish to such Mortgagee, written notice of any Landlord default and a reasonable opportunity for such Mortgagee to cure such default prior to Tenant being able to terminate this Lease. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by Landlord or any Mortgagee, or prospective purchaser to whom it is addressed and such statement, if required by its addressee, may so specifically state. If Tenant does not execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord the statement as and when required herein, Tenant shall be in material default under this Lease without further notice or demand.

ARTICLE 21 – ENTRY BY LANDLORD

21.01 Landlord may enter the Premises at all reasonable times to: inspect the same; exhibit the same to prospective purchasers, Mortgagees or tenants; determine whether Tenant is complying with all of its obligations under this Lease; supply janitorial and other services to be provided by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease; post notices of non-responsibility; and make repairs or improvements in or to the Building or the Premises; provided, however, that all such work shall be done as promptly as reasonably possible and so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Tenant has designated certain areas of the Premises as “Secured Areas” as shown and depicted on Exhibit I. Landlord may not enter such Secured Areas except in the case of an emergency or in the event of a Landlord inspection or repair, in which case Landlord shall provide Tenant with two (2) days prior written notice (except in the event of an emergency in which no notice shall be required) of the specific date and time of such Landlord inspection or repair and shall be

accompanied by a representative of Tenant. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises or any other loss occasioned by such entry, except to the extent caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, contractors or agents. Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key or key card with which to unlock all of the doors in, on or about the Premises (excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and similar areas designated by Tenant in writing in advance), and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means by which Landlord may deem proper to open such doors to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any such means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be deemed or construed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from any part of the Premises. Such entry by Landlord shall not act as a termination of Tenant’s duties under this Lease. If Landlord shall be required to obtain entry by means other than a key or key card provided by Tenant, the cost of such entry shall by payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent.

ARTICLE 22

LANDLORD’S LEASE UNDERTAKINGS-EXCULPATION FROM PERSONAL LIABILITY;

TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease or in any exhibits, Riders or addenda hereto attached (collectively the “Lease Documents”), it is expressly understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that: (a) the recourse of Tenant or its successors or assigns against Landlord with respect to the alleged breach by or on the part of Landlord of any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking or agreement contained in any of the Lease Documents or otherwise arising out of Tenant’s use of the Premises or the Building (collectively, “Landlord’s Lease Undertakings”) shall extend only to Landlord’s interest in the real estate of which the Premises demised under the Lease Documents are a part (“Landlord’s Real Estate”) and not to any other assets of Landlord or its constituent cotenants or partners; and (b) except to the extent of Landlord’s interest in Landlord’s Real Estate, no personal liability or personal responsibility of any sort with respect to any of Landlord’s Lease Undertakings or any alleged breach thereof is assumed by, or shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against, Landlord, its constituent cotenants or partners, or against any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, constituent partners, beneficiaries, trustees or representatives.

22.02 Transfer of Landlord’s Interest. In the event of any transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall be automatically freed and relieved from all applicable liability with respect to performance of any covenant or obligation on the part of Landlord accruing after the date of such transfer, provided any deposits or advance rents held by Landlord are turned over to the grantee and said grantee expressly assumes, subject to the limitations of this Section 22, all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed on the part of Landlord, it being intended hereby that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord shall, subject to all the provisions of this Section 22, be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during their respective periods of ownership.

ARTICLE 23 – HOLDOVER TENANCY

23.01 If Tenant holds possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance upon all of the terms contained herein, except as to Lease Term and Rent. During such holdover period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly rental equivalent to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord with respect to the last month of the Lease Term provided that if such holder exceeds three (3) months in duration the amount to Rent shall be adjusted upward from 110% to 125% commencing with the fourth (4^th) month. The monthly rent payable for such holdover period shall in no event be construed as a penalty or as liquidated damages for such retention of possession. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, its beneficiary, and their respective agents, contractors and employees, from and against any and all claims (including without limitation any claims against landlord by any succeeding tenant), liabilities, actions, losses, damages (including without limitation, direct, indirect, incidental and consequential) and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) asserted against or sustained by any such party and arising from or by reason of such retention of possession after three (3) months, which obligations shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease Term.

ARTICLE 24 – NOTICES

Any notice shall be deemed to have been received and served at the time when personally served or if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested shall be deemed given as the date of delivery shown on the receipt card, or if no delivery date is shown, the postmark thereon. If sent by regular mail the notice shall be deemed given within 48 hours after the same is deposited in the United States mail addressed as required therein with postage prepaid.

ARTICLE 25 – BROKERS

25.01 The parties recognize as the broker(s) who procured this Lease the firm(s) specified in Section 1.14 and agree that Landlord shall be solely responsible for the payment of any brokerage commissions to said broker(s), and that Tenant shall have no responsibility therefor unless written provision to the contrary has been made a part of this Lease. If either party has dealt with any other person or real estate broker in respect to leasing, subleasing or renting space in the Building, such party shall be solely responsible for the payment of any fee due said person or firm and such party shall protect, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the other party from any liability in respect thereto.

ARTICLE 26 – ELECTRONIC SERVICES

26.01 Tenant’s Lines. Tenant may, in a manner consistent with the provisions and requirements of this Lease, install, maintain, replace, remove or use any communications or computer or other electronic service wires, cables and related devices (collectively the “Lines”) at the Building in or serving the Premises, provided: (a) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be conditioned as required by Landlord, (b) if Tenant at any time uses any equipment that may create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation, the Lines therefor (including riser cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent such excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, and (c) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith. Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Lines which are installed in violation of these provisions. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, grant to any third party a security interest or lien in or on the Lines, and any such security interest or lien granted without Landlord’s written consent shall be null and void.

26.02 Definition of Electronic Services. As used herein “Electronic Services Provider” means a business which provides telephone, telegraph, telex, video, other telecommunications or other services which permit Tenant to receive or transmit information by the use of electronics and which require the use of wires, cables, antennas or similar devices in or on the Building. The services of Electronic Services Providers are sometime referred to herein as “Electronic Services.”

26.03 No Right to Specific Services. Landlord shall have no obligation (i) to install any Electronic Services equipment or facilities, (ii) to make available to Tenant the services of any particular Electronic Services Provider, (iii) to allow any particular Electronic Services Provider access to the Building, (iv) to continue to grant access to an Electronic Services Provider once such provider has been given access to the Building. Landlord may (but shall not have the obligation to): (x) install new Lines at the property, (y) create additional space for Lines at the property, and (z) adopt reasonable and uniform rules and regulations with respect to Lines.

26.04 Limitation of Landlord’s Responsibility. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all Electronic Services desired by Tenant shall be ordered and utilized at the sole expense of Tenant. Unless Landlord otherwise requests or consents in writing, all of Tenant’s Electronic Services equipment shall be and remain solely in the Tenant’s premises and the telephone closet(s) on the floor(s) on which the Tenant’s premises is located, in accordance with rules and regulations reasonably adopted by Landlord from time to time. Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing, Landlord shall have no responsibility for the maintenance of Tenant’s Electronic Services equipment, including Lines; nor for any Lines or other infrastructure to which Tenant’s Electronic Services equipment may be connected. Tenant agrees that, to the extent any Electronic Services are interrupted, curtailed or discontinued, Landlord shall except to the extent caused by Landlord’s sole negligence or willful misconduct or breach of its obligations under this Lease have no obligation or liability with respect thereto and it shall be the sole obligation of Tenant at its own expense to obtain substitute service. Except to the extent arising from the intentional or grossly negligent acts of Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees, Landlord shall have no liability for damages arising from, and Landlord does not warrant that Tenant’s use of any Lines will be free from the following (collectively called “Line Problems”): (x) any eavesdropping or wire-tapping by unauthorized parties, (y) any failure of any Lines to satisfy Tenant’s requirements, or (z) any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, replacement, use or removal of Lines by or for other tenants or occupants at the property. Under no circumstances shall any Line Problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising from any Line Problems.

26.05 Necessary Service Interruptions. Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant, to interrupt or turn off Electronic Services facilities in the event of emergency or as necessary in connection with maintenance, repairs or construction at the Building or installation of Electronic Services equipment for other tenants of the Building or on account of violation by the Electronic Services Provider or owner of the Electronic Services equipment of any obligation to Landlord or in the event that Tenant’s use of the Electronic Services infrastructure of the Building materially interferes with the Electronic Services of other tenants of the Building.

26.06 Removal of Equipment, Wiring and Other Facilities. Any and all Electronic Services equipment installed in the Tenant’s Premises or elsewhere in the Building by or on behalf of Tenant, including Lines, or other facilities for Electronic Services reception or transmittal, shall be removed prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term, by Tenant at its sole cost or, at Landlord’s election, by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost, with the cost thereof to be paid as additional rent. Landlord shall have the right, however, upon written notice to Tenant given no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease term (except that the notice period shall extend to thirty (30) days beyond the date of termination of the Lease if it is terminated by either party due to a default by the other), to require Tenant to abandon and leave in place, without additional payment to Tenant or credit against rent, any and all Electronic Services Lines and related infrastructure, or selected components thereof, whether located in the Tenant’s premises or elsewhere in the Building.

26.07 New Provider Installations. In the event that Tenant wishes at any time to utilize the services of an Electronic Services Provider whose equipment is not then servicing the Building, no such Electronic Services Provider shall be permitted to install its Lines or other equipment within the Building without first securing the prior written approval of the Landlord which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord’s approval shall not be deemed any kind of warranty or representation by Landlord, including, without limitation, any warranty or representation as to the suitability, competence, or financial strength of the Electronic Services Provider.

ARTICLE 27 – PARKING

27.01 During the term of this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to rent the number of Tenant’s Parking Stalls, if any, described in Section 1.16 of this Lease in the parking facilities located within the Building in such locations marked on Exhibit G attached hereto which shall correspond to the location of the Tenant’s parking spaces under the Prior Lease; provided, however, that if Tenant does not rent all of the Tenant’s Parking Stalls allocated to Tenant pursuant to Section 1.16, any change in the number of parking stalls actually rented by Tenant shall require not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord.

Tenant may issue validation stamps in excess of the Maximum Monthly Validations and Tenant may be required by Landlord to pay at the prevailing market rate for any such excess validation stamps so issued for such month within ten (10) business days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefore which invoice shall include reasonable documentation of such charges.

Any loss insured under said “all-risk” builder’s risk insurance is to be adjusted with Landlord and Tenant and made payable to Landlord, as trustee for the insureds, as their interests may appear.

All policies (except the worker’s compensation policy) shall be endorsed to include as additional insured parties the parties listed on, or required by, the Lease, Landlord’s contractors, Landlord’s architects, and their respective beneficiaries, partners, directors, officers, employees and agents, and such additional persons as Landlord may designate. The waiver of subrogation provisions contained in the Lease shall apply to all insurance policies (except the workmen’s compensation policy) to be obtained by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph. The insurance policy endorsements shall also provide that all additional insured parties shall be given thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any reduction, cancellation or non-renewal of coverage (except that ten (10) days’ notice shall be sufficient in the case of cancellation for non-payment of premium) and shall provide that the insurance coverage afforded to the additional insured parties thereunder shall be primary to any insurance carried independently by said additional insured parties. Additionally, where applicable, each policy shall contain a cross-liability and severability of interest clause.

(b) Without limitation of the indemnification provisions contained in the Lease, to the fullest extent permitted by law (and except to the extent the losses described below are caused by the sole negligence of Landlord, its agents and employees) Tenant agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord, the parties listed, or required by, the Lease to be named as additional insureds, Landlord’s contractors, Landlord’s architects, and their respective beneficiaries, partners, directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of whatever nature arising out of or in connection with the Work or the entry of Tenant or Tenant’s Contractors into the Building and the Premises, including, without limitation, mechanic’s liens, the cost of any repairs to the Premises or Building necessitated by activities of Tenant or Tenant’s Contractors, bodily injury to persons (including, to the maximum extent provided by law, claims arising under the California Structural Work Act) or damage to the property of Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees, licenses or others. It is understood and agreed that the foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to the insurance requirements set forth above and shall not be in discharge of or in substitution for same or any other indemnity or insurance provision of the Lease.

8. Landlord’s Contribution; Excess Amounts.

(a) Upon completion of the Work, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with full and final waivers of liens and contractors’ affidavits and statements applicable to the performance of the Work, in such form as may be reasonably required by Landlord, Landlord’s title insurance company and Landlord’s construction or permanent lender, if any, from all parties performing labor or supplying materials or services in connection with the Work showing that all of said parties have been compensated in full and waiving all liens in connection with the Premises and Building. Tenant shall submit to Landlord a detailed breakdown of Tenant’s total construction costs, together with such evidence of payment as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

(b) Within thirty (30) days following completion of the Work and Tenant’s satisfaction of all requirements set forth in this Work Letter Agreement, Landlord shall make a dollar contribution in the amount of Two Hundred Eighty One Thousand One Hundred Six and 56/100 Dollars ($281,106.56) (Landlord’s Contribution”) for application to the extent thereof to the cost of the Work, including, without limitation, payment of architectural fees and costs, permit fees, contractor fees, labor and materials costs, and the cost related to the replacement or relocation of Tenant’s fixtures, furniture and equipment, and a Ten Thousand Dollar ($10,000.00) cash payment to Tenant to cover modifications to Tenant’s teller line. Landlord’s failure to make timely payment of Landlord’s contribution shall be a material breach of this Lease. If the cost of the Work exceeds Landlord’s Contribution, Tenant shall have sole responsibility for the payment of such excess cost. If the cost of the Work is less than Landlord’s Contribution, Tenant shall not be entitled to any payment or credit for such excess amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may deduct from Landlord’s Contribution any reasonable amounts due Landlord or its architects or engineers under this Work Letter before disbursing any other portion of Landlord’s Contribution.

9. [Intentionally Omitted].

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) If the Plans for the Work require the construction and installation of more fire hose cabinets or telephone/electrical closets than the number regularly provided by Landlord in the core of the Building in which the Premises are located, Tenant agrees to pay all costs and expenses arising from the construction and installation of such additional fire hose cabinets or telephone/electrical closets.

(b) Time is of the essence of this Work Letter Agreement.

(c) Any person signing this Work Letter Agreement on behalf of Landlord and Tenant warrants and represents he has authority to sign and deliver this Work Letter Agreement and bind the party on behalf of which he has signed.

(d) If Tenant fails to make any payment relating to the Work as required hereunder, Landlord, at its option, may complete the Work pursuant to the Work Specifications and continue to hold Tenant liable for the reasonable, actual costs thereof and all other costs due to Landlord. Tenant’s failure to pay any amounts owed by Tenant hereunder when due or Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder shall also constitute a default under the Lease, subject to any applicable notice and cure provisions, and Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies granted to Landlord under the Lease for nonpayment of any amounts owed thereunder or failure by Tenant to perform its obligations thereunder.

(e) Notices under this Work Letter shall be given in the same manner as under the Lease.

(f) The liability of Landlord hereunder or under any amendment hereto or any instrument or document executed in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Lease) shall be limited to and enforceable solely against Landlord’s interest in the Building.

(g) The headings set forth herein are for convenience only.

(h) This Work Letter sets forth the entire agreement of Tenant and Landlord regarding the Work. This Work Letter may only be amended if in writing, duly executed by both Landlord and Tenant.

(i) All amounts due from Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to be Rent due under the Lease.

11. On-Site Project Manager.

As a condition of Tenant’s right to commence and perform the Work, Tenant shall engage the services of an on-site project manager approved in advance by and reasonably acceptable to Landlord, who will be charged with the task of performing daily supervision of the Work. Such on-site manager shall be familiar with all rules and regulations and procedures of the Building and all personnel of the Building engaged directly or indirectly in the management, operation and construction of the Building. Such on-site project manager shall be accountable and responsible to Tenant and to Landlord and, where necessary, shall serve as a liaison between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Work. The entire cost and expense of the on-site project manager shall be borne and paid for by Tenant (subject to Tenant’s right to use all or any part of Landlord’s Contribution to reimburse Tenant for the same.)

12. Exculpation of Landlord.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Work Letter Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that:

(a) The recourse of Tenant or its successors or assigns against Landlord with respect to the alleged breach by or on the part of Landlord of any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking or agreement contained in this Work Letter Agreement (collectively, “Landlord’s Work Letter Undertakings”) shall extend only to Landlord’s interest in the real estate of which the Premises demised under this Lease Documents are a part (hereinafter, “Landlord’s Real Estate”) and not to any other assets of Landlord or its constituent cotenants or partners; and

(b) Except to the extent of Landlord’s interest in Landlord’s Real Estate, no personal liability or personal responsibility of any sort with respect to any of Landlord’s Work Letter Undertakings or any alleged breach thereof is assumed by, or shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against, Landlord, its constituent cotenants or partners, or against any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, constituent partners, beneficiaries, trustees or representatives.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Work Letter Agreement is executed as of this 16^th day of November, 2004.

All such areas, and all roofs, are not for use of the general public and Landlord shall in all cases retain the right to control and prevent access thereto by all persons whose presence in the judgment of Landlord shall be prejudicial to the safety, character, reputation and interests of the Building and its tenants provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent such access to persons with whom Tenant deals in the normal course of Tenant’s business unless such persons are engaged in activities which are illegal or violate these Rules. No Tenant and no employee or invitee of Tenant shall enter into areas reserved for the exclusive use of Landlord, its employees or invitees.
