2. Lease Grant. Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant leases the Premises from Landlord, together with the right in common with others to use any portions of the Property (defined below) that are designated by Landlord for the common use of tenants and others, such as sidewalks, common corridors, vending areas, lobby areas and, with respect to multi-tenant floors, restrooms and elevator foyers (the “Common Areas”). “Property” means the Building and the parcel(s) of land on which it is located as more fully described on Exhibit A-2, together with all other buildings and improvements located thereon; and the Building garage(s) and other improvements serving the Building, if any, and the parcel(s) of land on which they are located.

3. Term; Adjustment of Commencement Date; Early Access.

A. Term. This Lease shall govern the relationship between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Premises from the Effective Date through the last day of the Term specified in Section 1.G (the “Expiration Date”), unless terminated early in accordance with this Lease. The Term of this Lease (as specified in Section 1.G) shall commence on the “Commencement Date”, which shall be the earlier of (1) the date Tenant takes possession of any part of the Premises for purposes of conducting business, or (2) the Outside Commencement Date. If Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of the Premises or any other space due to any reason, including without limitation the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by any third party, such delay shall not be a default by Landlord, render this Lease void or voidable, or otherwise render Landlord liable for damages except as expressly set forth in this Lease. Promptly after the determination of the Commencement Date, the Expiration Date, the Rent schedule and any other variable matters, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant a commencement letter agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C. If such commencement letter is not executed by Tenant or objected to in writing by Tenant within 30 days after delivery of same by Landlord, then Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed with the matters set forth therein. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, if the Expiration Date would otherwise occur on a date other than the last day of a calendar month, then the Term shall be automatically extended to include the last day of such calendar month, which shall become the Expiration Date.

B. Acceptance of Premises. The Premises are accepted by Tenant in “as is” condition and configuration subject to any latent defects in the Premises other than work performed by Tenant Parties (defined below) pursuant to a separate work letter agreement (the “Work Letter”) attached as Exhibit D. TENANT HEREBY AGREES THAT THE PREMISES ARE IN GOOD ORDER AND SATISFACTORY CONDITION AND THAT, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE, THERE ARE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY LANDLORD REGARDING THE PREMISES, THE BUILDING OR THE PROPERTY.

C. Delivery of Premises prior to Outside Commencement Date. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant upon delivery to Tenant of a fully executed counterpart of this Lease (the “Estimated Delivery Date”) and Tenant shall be entitled to take possession of the Premises for the purpose of conducting the Tenant Work. The actual date of delivery of the Premises to Tenant, whether such occurs before or after the Estimated Delivery Date, shall be referred to herein as the “Delivery Date”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of the Premises to Tenant by the Estimated Delivery Date due to any reason, including the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by any third party, or for any other reason, such delay shall not be a default by Landlord, render this Lease void or voidable, or otherwise render Landlord liable for damages, and Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for any such delay shall be a resulting day for day postponement of the Delivery Date (and a corresponding day for day postponement of the Outside Commencement Date). Tenant’s access to the Premises between the Delivery Date and the Commencement Date shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Expenses for any days of such early access; provided however, Tenant shall pay for the cost of any other Building services requested by Tenant (e.g., freight elevator usage).

4. Rent.

A. Payments. As consideration for this Lease, commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord, without any demand, setoff or deduction except as expressly set forth in this Lease, the total amount of Base Rent, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Expenses, and any and all other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease (all of which are sometimes collectively referred to as “Rent”). Tenant shall pay and be liable for Tenant’s allocable portion of all rental, gross receipts, sales and use, or other taxes, if any, imposed upon or measured by rents, receipts or income attributable to ownership, use, occupancy, rental, leasing, operation or possession of the Property. The monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Expenses shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month without notice or demand, provided that the installment of Base Rent for the first full calendar month of the Term shall be payable upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant.

All other items of Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant on or before 30 days after billing by Landlord. All payments of Rent shall be by good and sufficient check or by other means (such as automatic debit or electronic transfer) acceptable to Landlord. If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any Excess Operating Expenses for the month shall be prorated on a daily basis based on a 360 day calendar year, and such prorated amount shall be due and payable on the first day of the month following the Commencement Date. Landlord’s acceptance of less than the correct amount of Rent shall be considered a payment on account of the earliest Rent due, and such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of the remaining unpaid balance. No endorsement or statement on a check or letter accompanying a check or payment shall be considered an accord and satisfaction, and either party may accept such check or payment without such acceptance being considered a waiver of any rights such party may have under this Lease or applicable Law. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent is independent of every other covenant in this Lease.

B. Excess Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount, if any, by which Operating Expenses (defined in Section 4.D) for each calendar year subsequent to the Base Year during the Term calculated on a per square foot basis of Rentable Square Footage exceed the Operating Expenses for the Base Year (the “Excess Operating Expenses”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Controllable Expenses (defined below) shall not increase by more than 6% over Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Controllable Expenses in the previous calendar year, including the Base Year, on a cumulative, compounded basis. However, any increases in Excess Operating Expenses not recovered by Landlord due to the foregoing limitation shall be carried forward into succeeding calendar years during the Term (subject to the foregoing limitation) until fully recouped by Landlord. The term “Controllable Expenses” means all Operating Expenses excluding expenses relating to the cost of utilities, security expenses, insurance, real estate taxes and assessments, and other expenses not within Landlord’s control. If Operating Expenses in any calendar year decrease below the Operating Expenses for the Base Year, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for that calendar year shall be $0. In no event shall Base Rent be reduced if Operating Expenses for any calendar year are less than the Operating Expenses for the Base Year. On or about January 1 of each calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a good faith estimate of the Excess Operating Expenses for such calendar year during the Term. On or before the first day of each month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Landlord’s estimate of the Excess Operating Expenses. If Landlord determines that its good faith estimate of the Excess Operating Expenses was incorrect, Landlord may provide Tenant with a revised estimate. After its receipt of the revised estimate, Tenant’s monthly payments shall be based upon the revised estimate. If Landlord does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the Excess Operating Expenses by January 1 of a calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments based on the most recent estimate(s) until Landlord provides Tenant with the new estimate. Upon delivery of the new estimate, an adjustment shall be made for any month for which Tenant paid monthly installments based on the same year’s prior incorrect estimate(s). Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30 days after receipt of the new estimate. Any overpayment shall be credited against the next sums due and owing by Tenant or, if no further Rent is due, refunded directly to Tenant within 30 days of determination. The obligation of Tenant to pay for Excess Operating Expenses or Landlord’s refund of overpayments by Tenant as provided herein shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

C. Reconciliation of Operating Expenses. Within 120 days after the end of each calendar year or as soon thereafter as is practicable, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement of the actual Operating Expenses and Excess Operating Expenses for such calendar year. If the most recent estimated Excess Operating Expenses paid by Tenant for such calendar year are more than the actual Excess Operating Expenses for such calendar year, Landlord shall apply any overpayment by Tenant against Rent due or next becoming due; provided, if the Term expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall, within 30 days of determination, refund any overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of Rent due. If the most recent estimated Excess Operating Expenses paid by Tenant for the prior calendar year are less than the actual Excess Operating Expenses for such year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within 30 days after its receipt of the statement of Operating Expenses, any underpayment for the prior calendar year. If Landlord does not deliver a statement of the actual Operating Expenses and Excess Operating Expenses to Tenant within three hundred (300) days after the end of any calendar year during the Term, then Tenant shall have no further obligation

to pay any such amount subsequently invoiced by Landlord with respect to such prior calendar year, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any credit or refund of any overpayment of estimated Excess Operating Expenses paid by Tenant for such prior calendar year.

D. Operating Expenses Defined. “Operating Expenses” means all costs and expenses incurred or accrued in each calendar year in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance, management, repair and protection of the Property which are directly attributable or reasonably allocable to the Building, including Landlord’s personal property used in connection with the Property and including all costs and expenditures relating to the following:

(1) Operation, maintenance and repair of any part of the Property, including the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, vertical transportation, fire prevention and warning and access control systems; materials and supplies (such as building standard light bulbs and ballasts); equipment and tools; building standard floor, wall and window coverings; personal property; required or beneficial easements; and related service agreements and rental expenses.

(2) Administrative costs and management fees, including accounting, information and professional services (except for negotiations and disputes with specific tenants not affecting other parties); management office(s); and wages, salaries, benefits, reimbursable expenses and taxes (or allocations thereof) for full and part time personnel at or below the level of Building manager involved in operation, maintenance and management.

(3) Janitorial service; window cleaning; waste disposal; gas, water and sewer and other utility charges (including add-ons); and landscaping, including all applicable tools and supplies.

(4) Property, liability and other insurance coverages carried by Landlord, including deductibles and risk retention programs and a proportionate allocation of the cost of blanket insurance policies maintained by Landlord and/or its Affiliates (defined below).

(5) Real estate taxes, assessments, excises, association dues, fees, levies, charges and other taxes of every kind and nature whatsoever, general and special, extraordinary and ordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, including interest on installment payments, which may be levied or assessed against or arise in connection with ownership, use, occupancy, rental, leasing, operation or possession of the Property, or paid as rent under any ground lease (“Tax Expenses”). Tax Expenses shall include, without limitation: (i) any tax on the rent or other revenue from the Property, or any portion thereof, or as against the business of owning or leasing the Property, or any portion thereof, including any business, gross margins, or similar tax payable by Landlord which is attributable to rent or other revenue derived from the Property, (ii) any assessment, tax, fee, levy, or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the Rent payable hereunder, (iii) personal property taxes for property that is owned by Landlord and used in connection with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Property, (iv) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge, upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party, creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the Premises, and (v) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge substituted, in whole or in part, for a tax previously in existence, or assessed in lieu of a tax increase. Tax Expenses shall not include Landlord’s estate, excise, income or franchise taxes (except to the extent provided above).

(6) Compliance with Laws, including license, permit and inspection fees (but not in duplication of capital expenditures amortized as provided in Section 4.D(9)); and all expenses and fees, including attorneys’ fees and court or other venue of dispute resolution costs, incurred in negotiating or contesting real estate taxes or the validity and/or applicability of any governmental enactments which may affect Operating Expenses; provided Landlord shall credit against Operating Expenses any refunds received from such negotiations or contests to the extent originally included in Operating Expenses (less Landlord’s reasonable costs).

(7) Building safety services, to the extent provided or contracted for by Landlord.

(8) Goods and services purchased from Landlord’s subsidiaries and Affiliates to the extent the cost of same is generally consistent with the actual rates charged by unaffiliated third parties for similar goods and services.

(9) Amortization of capital expenditures incurred: (a) to conform with Laws enacted, amended or interpreted differently after the Commencement Date; (b) to provide or maintain building standards (other than building standard tenant improvements); or (c) with the intention of promoting safety or reducing or controlling increases in Operating Expenses, such as lighting retrofit and installation of energy management systems. Such expenditures shall be amortized uniformly over the following periods of time (together with interest on the unamortized balance at the Prime Rate (defined in Section 19.B) as of the date incurred plus 2%): for building improvements, the shorter of 10 years or the estimated useful life of the improvement; and for all other items, 3 years for expenditures under $50,000 and 5 years for expenditures in excess of $50,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may elect to amortize capital expenditures under this subsection over a longer period of time based upon (i) the purpose and nature of the expenditure, (ii) the relative capital burden on the Property, (iii) for cost savings projects, the anticipated payback period, and (iv) otherwise in accordance with sound real estate accounting principles consistently applied.

(10) Electrical services used in the operation, maintenance and use of the Property; sales, use, excise and other taxes assessed by governmental authorities on electrical services supplied to the Property, and other costs of providing electrical services to the Property.

E. Exclusions from Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses exclude the following expenditures:

(1) Leasing commissions, attorneys’ fees and other expenses related to leasing tenant space and constructing improvements for the benefit of an individual tenant.

(2) Goods (including fixtures and equipment) and services furnished by Landlord to an individual tenant of the Building which are specific to such tenant’s requirements and are in addition to the Building standard goods and services provided to Tenant and other tenants generally in the Building.

(3) Repairs, replacements and general maintenance paid by insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds.

(4) Except as provided in Section 4.D(9), depreciation, amortization, interest payments on any encumbrances on the Property and the cost of capital improvements or additions.

(5) Costs of installing any specialty service, such as an observatory, broadcasting facility, luncheon club, or athletic or recreational club.

(6) Expenses for repairs or maintenance related to the Property which have been reimbursed to Landlord pursuant to warranties or service contracts.

(7) Costs (other than maintenance costs) of any art work (such as sculptures or paintings) used to decorate the Building.

(8) Principal and/or interest payments on indebtedness secured by liens against the Property, or costs of refinancing such indebtedness.

(9) Rental, gross receipts, sales and use, or other taxes, if any, imposed upon or measured by rents, receipts or income attributable to ownership, use, occupancy, rental, leasing, operation or possession of the Property which have been paid by tenants pursuant to Section 4.A.

(10) Legal expenses, other than those incurred for the general benefit of the Building’s tenants (e.g., tax disputes).

(11) Overtime wages and other expenses of Landlord in curing defaults or performing work expressly provided in this Lease to be borne at Landlord’s expense.

(12) Costs due to Landlord’s breach of this Lease or any other lease in the Building.

(13) Wages or other personnel related costs of officers, executives and employees of Landlord above the level of Building manager.

(14) Political or charitable contributions.

(15) Entertainment or travel expenses of Landlord or its employees, agents, partners and affiliates.

(17) Costs of repair, restoration, replacement or other work occasioned by the gross negligence or intentional conduct of Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors or subcontractors.

(18) Any costs incurred in connection with the original design and construction of the Building or any major changes to same (including additions or deletions of floors), and correction of defects in design and/or construction of the Building including repair or replacement of defective equipment.

(19) Any other expenses which would not normally be treated as operating expenses by the majority of landlords of Comparable Buildings using generally accepted real estate accounting principles. “Comparable Buildings” shall mean other comparable office buildings in the Clear Lake submarket of Houston, Texas, taking into account age, size, location and other relevant operating factors.

(20) Landlord will not recover in any one calendar year more than 100% of the actual Operating Expenses for such year.

F. Proration of Operating Expenses; Adjustments. If Landlord incurs Operating Expenses for the Property together with one or more other buildings or properties, whether pursuant to a reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or otherwise, the shared costs and expenses shall be equitably prorated and apportioned by Landlord between the Property and the other buildings or properties. If the Building is not 95% occupied during any calendar year or partial calendar year or if Landlord is not supplying services to 95% of the total Rentable Square Footage of the Building at any time during a calendar year or partial calendar year, Operating Expenses shall be determined as if the Building had been 95% occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to 95% of the Rentable Square Footage of the Building during that calendar year. If Tenant pays for Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses based on increases over a “Base Year” and Operating Expenses for a calendar year are determined as provided in the prior sentence, Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall also be determined as if the Building had been 95% occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to 95% of the Rentable Square Footage of the Building. The extrapolation of Operating Expenses under this Section shall be performed by Landlord by adjusting the cost of those components of Operating Expenses that are impacted by changes in the occupancy of the Building.

G. Audit Rights. Within 60 days after Landlord furnishes its statement of actual Operating Expenses for any calendar year (including the Base Year) during the Term (the “Audit Election Period”), Tenant may, at its expense, elect to audit Landlord’s Operating Expenses for such calendar year only, subject to the following conditions: (1) there is no uncured event of default under this Lease; (2) the audit shall be prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm of recognized national standing; (3) in no event shall any audit be performed by a firm compensated in any material respect on a “contingency fee” basis; (4) the audit shall commence within 30 days after Landlord makes Landlord’s books and records available to Tenant’s auditor and shall conclude within 60 days after commencement; (5) the audit shall be conducted during Landlord’s normal business hours at the location where Landlord maintains its books and records and shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Landlord’s business; and (6) Tenant and its accounting firm shall treat any audit in a confidential manner and shall each execute Landlord’s confidentiality agreement for Landlord’s benefit prior to commencing the audit. This paragraph shall not be construed to limit, suspend, or ▇▇▇▇▇ Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent when due, including estimated Excess Operating Expenses. Landlord shall credit any

overpayment determined by the final approved audit report against the next Rent due and owing by Tenant or, if no further Rent is due, refund such overpayment directly to Tenant within 30 days of determination. Likewise, Tenant shall pay Landlord any underpayment determined by the final approved audit report within 30 days of determination. The foregoing obligations shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. If Tenant does not give written notice of its election to audit Landlord’s Operating Expenses during the Audit Election Period, Landlord’s Operating Expenses for the applicable calendar year shall be deemed approved for all purposes, and Tenant shall have no further right to review or contest the same. The right to audit granted hereunder is personal to the initial Tenant named in this Lease and to any assignee under a Permitted Transfer (defined below) and shall not be available to any subtenant under a sublease of the Premises.

5. Tenant’s Use of Premises.

A. Permitted Uses. The Premises shall be used only for general office use (the “Permitted Use”) and for no other use whatsoever. Tenant shall not use or permit the use of the Premises for any purpose which is illegal, creates obnoxious odors (including tobacco smoke), noises or vibrations, is dangerous to persons or property or increases Landlord’s insurance costs. Except as provided below, the following uses are expressly prohibited in the Premises: schools, government offices or agencies; personnel agencies; collection agencies; credit unions; data processing, telemarketing or reservation centers; medical treatment and health care; radio, television or other telecommunications broadcasting; restaurants and other retail; customer service offices of a public utility company or any use which would create a population density in the Premises which is in excess of the density which is standard for the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following ancillary uses are permitted in the Premises only so long as they do not, in the aggregate, occupy more than 10% of the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises or any single floor (whichever is less): (1) the following services provided by Tenant exclusively to its employees or customers: schools, training and other educational services; credit unions; and similar employee services; and (2) the following services directly and exclusively supporting Tenant’s business: telemarketing; reservations; storage; data processing; debt collection; and similar support services.

B. Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall comply with all Laws regarding the operation of Tenant’s business and the use, condition, configuration and occupancy of the Premises and the use of the Common Areas. Tenant, within 10 days after receipt, shall provide Landlord with copies of any notices Tenant receives regarding a violation or alleged or potential violation of any Laws. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Building attached as Exhibit B and such other reasonable rules and regulations (or modifications thereto) adopted by Landlord from time to time. Such rules and regulations will be applied in an equitable manner as determined by Landlord. Tenant shall also cause its agents, contractors, subcontractors, employees, customers, and subtenants to comply with all rules and regulations. Landlord shall be responsible for compliance of the Building’s systems (other than utility lines installed by or for the benefit of individual tenants within leased space), structural components and Common Areas with all applicable Laws; further, to the extent that areas above the ceiling grid within the Premises are not in compliance with all applicable Laws as of the Delivery Date, Landlord shall be responsible for the costs of placing those non-compliant areas into compliance.

C. Tenant’s Security Responsibilities. Tenant shall (1) lock the doors to the Premises and take other reasonable steps to secure the Premises and the personal property of all Tenant Parties (defined in Article 13) and any of Tenant’s transferees, contractors or licensees in the Common Areas and parking facilities of the Building and Property, from unlawful intrusion, theft, fire and other hazards; (2) keep and maintain in good working order all security and safety devices installed in the Premises by or for the benefit of Tenant (such as locks, smoke detectors and burglar alarms); and (3) cooperate, at no expense to Tenant, with Landlord and other tenants in the Building on Building safety matters. Tenant acknowledges that any security or safety measures employed by Landlord are for the protection of Landlord’s own interests; that Landlord is not a guarantor of the security or safety of the Tenant Parties or their property; and that such security and safety matters are the responsibility of Tenant and the local law enforcement authorities.

6. Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be delivered to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant and shall be held by Landlord (without liability for interest,

except to the extent required by Law) as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Tenant’s liability for damages. Landlord may, from time to time while an event of default remains uncured, without prejudice to any other remedy, use all or a portion of the Security Deposit to satisfy past due Rent, cure any uncured default by Tenant, or repay Landlord for damages and charges for which Tenant is legally liable under this Lease or resulting from Tenant’s breach of this Lease. If Landlord uses the Security Deposit, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand restore the Security Deposit to its original amount and such use by Landlord of the Security Deposit shall not constitute a cure of the existing event of default until such time as the entire amount owing to Landlord is paid in full and the Security Deposit is fully restored. Provided that Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder, Landlord shall return any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within 30 days after the later to occur of: (A) the date Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with this Lease; or (B) the Expiration Date. Tenant does hereby authorize Landlord to withhold from the Security Deposit all amounts allowed by Law and the amount reasonably anticipated by Landlord to be owed by Tenant as a result of an underpayment of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any Excess Operating Expenses for the final year of the Term. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Article 6 shall supersede and replace all statutory rights of Tenant under applicable Law regarding the retention, application or return of security deposits. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, Landlord shall assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and, following the assignment and the delivery to Tenant of an acknowledgement of the transferee’s responsibility for the Security Deposit if required by Law, Landlord shall have no further liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts.

7. Services Furnished by Landlord.

A. Standard Services. Subject to the provisions of this Lease, Landlord agrees to furnish (or cause a third party provider to furnish) the following services to Tenant during the Term:

(1) Water service for use in the lavatories on each floor on which the Premises are located.

(2) Heat and air conditioning in season during Normal Business Hours, at such temperatures and in such amounts as required by governmental authority or as Landlord reasonably determines are standard for the Building. Tenant, upon such notice as is reasonably required by Landlord, and subject to the capacity of the Building systems, may request HVAC service during hours other than Normal Business Hours. Tenant shall pay Landlord for such additional service at a rate equal to Landlord’s actual costs in furnishing such service, computed on an hourly basis, with a 1-hour minimum per floor.

(3) Maintenance and repair of the Property as described in Section 9.B.

(4) Janitorial service five days per week (excluding Holidays), as determined by Landlord. If Tenant’s use of the Premises, floor covering or other improvements require special services in excess of the standard services for the Building, Tenant shall pay the additional cost attributable to the special services.

(5) Elevator service, subject to proper authorization and Landlord’s policies and procedures for use of the elevator(s) in the Building.

(6) Exterior window washing at such intervals as reasonably determined by Landlord.

(7) Electricity to the Premises for general office use, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions in Article 8.

B. Service Interruptions. For purposes of this Lease, a “Service Failure” shall mean any interruption, suspension or termination of services being provided to Tenant by Landlord or by third-party providers, whether engaged by Tenant or pursuant to arrangements by such providers with Landlord, which are due to (1) the application of Laws; (2) the failure, interruption or malfunctioning of any electrical or mechanical equipment, utility or other service

to the Building or Property; (3) the performance of repairs, maintenance, improvements or alterations; or (4) the occurrence of any other event or cause whether or not within the reasonable control of Landlord. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, no Service Failure shall render Landlord liable to Tenant, constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant, give rise to an abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event of a Service Failure of any of the services described in Section 7.A(1) [but only if affecting the entire Building], (2), and (7), then commencing on the 5th consecutive Business Day of such Service Failure, and provided that Tenant does not occupy the Premises during the duration of such Service Failure, then Tenant shall, as its sole and exclusive remedy, be entitled to an equitable diminution of Rent based upon the pro rata portion of the Premises which is rendered unfit for occupancy for the Permitted Use, except to the extent such Service Failure is caused by a Tenant Party; provided, however, that if the Service Failure is caused by a fire or other casualty, Article 16 shall control in lieu of the foregoing. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage, including the theft of Tenant’s Property (defined in Article 14), arising out of or in connection with any Service Failure or the failure of any Building safety services, personnel or equipment.

C. Third Party Services. If Tenant desires any service which Landlord has not specifically agreed to provide in this Lease, such as private security systems or telecommunications services serving the Premises, Tenant shall procure such service directly from a reputable third party service provider (“Provider”) for Tenant’s own account. Tenant shall require each Provider to comply with the Building’s rules and regulations, all Laws, and Landlord’s reasonable policies and practices for the Building. Tenant acknowledges Landlord’s current policy that requires all Providers utilizing any area of the Property outside the Premises to be approved by Landlord and to enter into a written agreement reasonably acceptable to Landlord prior to gaining access to, or making any installations in or through, such area; provided that such access shall be granted at no additional cost to Tenant. Accordingly, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice sufficient for such purposes.

8. Use of Electrical Services by Tenant.

A. Landlord’s Electrical Service. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall furnish building standard electrical service to the Premises sufficient to operate customary lighting, office machines and other equipment of similar low electrical consumption. Landlord may, at Landlord’s initial expense, at any time and from time to time, calculate Tenant’s actual electrical consumption in the Premises by a survey conducted by a reputable consultant selected by Landlord; if such survey reflects that Tenant is consuming electricity in excess of Building standard electrical service, then Tenant shall promptly upon written demand reimburse Landlord for the costs of such survey. The cost of any electrical consumption in excess of that which Landlord reasonably determines is standard for the Building shall be paid by Tenant in accordance with Section 8.D. The furnishing of electrical services to the Premises shall be subject to the rules, regulations and practices of the supplier of such electricity and of any municipal or other governmental authority regulating the business of providing electrical utility service. Landlord shall not be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss, damage or expense which Tenant may sustain or incur if either the quantity or character of the electrical service is changed or is no longer available or no longer suitable for Tenant’s requirements.

B. Selection of Electrical Service Provider. Landlord shall have and retain the sole right to select the provider of electrical services to the Building and/or the Property. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Landlord shall have the continuing right to change such utility provider. All charges and expenses incurred by Landlord due to any such changes in electrical services, including maintenance, repairs, installation and related costs, shall be included in the electrical services costs referenced in Section 4.D(10), unless paid directly by Tenant.

C. Submetering. Landlord shall have the continuing right, upon 30 days written notice, to install a submeter for the Premises (or for specific items of Tenant’s equipment such as supplemental HVAC units or mainframe computers operating on a 24/7 basis) at Tenant’s expense if Tenant’s usage of electrical service in the Premises exceeds the building standard electrical service. If submetering is installed for the Premises or specific equipment, Landlord may charge for Tenant’s actual electrical consumption monthly in arrears for the kilowatt hours used, a rate per kilowatt hour equal to that charged to Landlord by the provider of electrical

service to the Building during the same period of time (plus, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, an administrative fee equal to 15% of such charge), except as to electricity directly purchased by Tenant from third party providers after obtaining Landlord’s consent to the same. In the event Landlord is unable to determine the exact kilowatt hourly charge during the period of time, Landlord shall use the average kilowatt hourly charge to the Building for the first billing cycle ending after the period of time in question. Even if the Premises are or specific equipment is submetered, Tenant shall remain obligated to pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the cost of electrical services as provided in Section 4.B, except that Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against electrical services costs equal to that portion of the amounts actually paid by Tenant separately and directly to Landlord which are attributable to building standard electrical services submetered to the Premises.

D. Excess Electrical Service. Tenant’s use of electrical service shall not exceed, in voltage, rated capacity, use beyond Normal Business Hours or overall load, that which is standard for the Building. If Tenant requests permission to consume excess electrical service, Landlord may refuse to consent or may condition consent upon conditions that Landlord reasonably elects (including the installation of utility service upgrades, meters, submeters, air handlers or cooling units). The costs of any approved additional consumption (to the extent permitted by Law), installation and maintenance shall be paid by Tenant.

9. Repairs and Alterations.

A. Tenant’s Repair Obligations. Tenant shall keep the Premises in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant’s repair obligations include, without limitation, repairs to: (1) floor covering and/or raised flooring; (2) interior partitions; (3) doors; (4) the interior side of demising walls; (5) electronic, phone and data cabling and related equipment (collectively, “Cable”) that is installed by or for the benefit of Tenant whether located in the Premises or in other portions of the Building; (6) supplemental air conditioning units, private showers and kitchens, including hot water heaters, plumbing, dishwashers, ice machines and similar facilities serving Tenant exclusively; (7) phone rooms used exclusively by Tenant; (8) Alterations (defined below) performed by contractors retained by Tenant, including related HVAC balancing; and (9) all of Tenant’s furnishings, trade fixtures, equipment and inventory. Prior to performing any such repair obligation, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord describing the necessary maintenance or repair. Upon receipt of such notice, Landlord may elect either to perform any of the maintenance or repair obligations specified in such notice, or require that Tenant perform such obligations by using contractors reasonably approved by Landlord. All work shall be performed at Tenant’s expense in accordance with the rules and procedures described in Section 9.C below. If Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises for more than 15 days after receipt of written notice from Landlord (although notice shall not be required if there is an emergency), Landlord may, in addition to any other remedy available to Landlord, make the repairs, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable cost of the repairs within 30 days after receipt of an invoice, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to 15% of the cost of the repairs.

B. Landlord’s Repair Obligations. Landlord shall keep and maintain in good repair and working order and make repairs to and perform maintenance upon: (1) structural elements of the Building; (2) standard mechanical (including HVAC), electrical, plumbing and fire/life safety systems serving the Building generally; (3) Common Areas; (4) the roof of the Building; (5) exterior windows of the Building; and (6) elevators serving the Building. Landlord shall promptly make repairs (taking into account the nature and urgency of the repair) for which Landlord is responsible. If any of the foregoing maintenance or repair is necessitated due solely to the negligent acts of any Tenant Party (defined in Article 13), Tenant shall pay the costs of such repairs or maintenance to Landlord within 30 days after receipt of an invoice, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to 15% of the cost of the repairs.

C. Alterations.

(1) When Consent Is Required. Tenant shall not make alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises or install any Cable in the Premises or other portions of the Building (collectively, “Alterations”) without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. However, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any Alteration that satisfies all of the

following criteria (a “Minor Alteration”): (a) is of a cosmetic nature such as painting, wallpapering, hanging pictures and installing carpeting; (b) is not visible from outside the Premises or Building; (c) will not affect the systems or structure of the Building; (d) does not require work to be performed inside the walls or above the ceiling of the Premises other than electronic, phone, and data cabling work solely affecting Tenant, and (e) does not require the issuance of a building permit.

(2) Requirements For All Alterations, Including Minor Alterations. Prior to starting work on any Alteration other than a Minor Alteration, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord for review and approval: plans and specifications; names of proposed contractors (provided that Landlord may designate specific contractors with respect to Building systems); copies of contracts; necessary permits and approvals; evidence of contractors’ and subcontractors’ insurance; and Tenant’s security for performance of the Alteration. Changes to the plans and specifications must also be submitted to Landlord for its approval. Some of the foregoing requirements may be waived by Landlord for the performance of specific Minor Alterations; provided that such waiver is obtained in writing prior to the commencement of such Minor Alterations. Landlord’s waiver on one occasion shall not waive Landlord’s right to enforce such requirements on any other occasion. Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner using materials of a quality that is at least equal to the quality designated by Landlord as the minimum standard for the Building. Landlord may designate reasonable rules, regulations and procedures for the performance of Alterations in the Building and, to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid disruption to the occupants of the Building, shall have the right to designate the time when Alterations may be performed. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within 30 days after receipt of an invoice for out-of-pocket sums paid by Landlord for third party examination of Tenant’s plans for Alterations. In addition, if the total costs of the Alterations exceeds $10,000, then within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee equal to 15% of the total cost of such Alterations for Landlord’s oversight and coordination of any Alterations. No later than 30 days after Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall furnish “as-built” plans (which shall not be required for Minor Alterations), completion affidavits, full and final waivers of liens, receipts and bills covering all labor and materials. Tenant shall assure that the Alterations comply with all insurance requirements and Laws.

(3) Landlord’s Liability For Alterations. Landlord’s approval of an Alteration shall not be a representation by Landlord that the Alteration complies with applicable Laws or will be adequate for Tenant’s use. Accordingly, Landlord does not guarantee or warrant that the applicable construction documents will comply with Laws or be free from errors or omissions, or that the Alterations will be free from defects, and Landlord will have no liability therefor.

10. Entry by Landlord. Landlord, its agents, contractors and representatives may enter the Premises to inspect or show the Premises, to clean and make repairs, alterations or additions to the Premises, and to conduct or facilitate repairs, alterations or additions to any portion of the Building, including other tenants’ premises. Except in emergencies or to provide janitorial and other Building services after Normal Business Hours, Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least 24 hours’ prior written notice of entry into the Premises, which may be given orally. Landlord shall have the right to temporarily close all or a portion of the Premises to perform repairs, alterations and additions, if reasonably necessary for the protection and safety of Tenant and its employees. Except in emergencies, Landlord will not close the Premises if the work can reasonably be completed on weekends and after Normal Business Hours; provided, however, that Landlord is not required to conduct work on weekends or after Normal Business Hours if such work can be conducted without closing the Premises. Entry by Landlord for any such purposes shall not constitute a constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent.

11. Assignment and Subletting.

A. Landlord’s Consent Required. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Article 11, but notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant shall not assign, transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease (either absolutely or collaterally) or sublease or allow any third party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively or individually, a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without limitation, Tenant agrees that Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if: (1) the proposed transferee’s financial condition does not meet the criteria Landlord uses to select Building

tenants having similar leasehold obligations; (2) the proposed transferee is a governmental organization or present occupant of the Property, or Landlord is otherwise engaged in lease negotiations with the proposed transferee for other premises in the Property; (3) any uncured event of default exists under this Lease (or a condition exists which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would become an event of default); (4) any portion of the Building or Premises would likely become subject to additional or different Laws as a consequence of the proposed Transfer; (5) the proposed transferee’s use of the Premises conflicts with the Permitted Use or any exclusive usage rights existing as of the Commencement Date with respect to any other tenant in the Building; (6) the use, nature, business, activities or reputation in the business community of the proposed transferee (or its principals, employees or invitees) does not meet Landlord’s standards for Building tenants; or (7) the proposed transferee is or has been involved in litigation with Landlord or any of its Affiliates. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive monetary damages based upon a claim that Landlord unreasonably withheld its consent to a proposed Transfer and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action to enforce any such provision through specific performance or declaratory judgment. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Article is voidable at Landlord’s option.

B. Consent Parameters/Requirements. As part of Tenant’s request for, and as a condition to, Landlord’s consent to a Transfer other than a Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with financial statements for the proposed transferee, a complete copy (unexecuted) of the proposed assignment or sublease and other contractual documents, and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall then have the right (but not the obligation) to terminate this Lease as of the date the Transfer would have been effective (“Landlord Termination Date”) with respect to the portion of the Premises which Tenant desires to Transfer. Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of its election to terminate this Lease (“Landlord’s Termination Notice”). Tenant shall have the right to withdraw its request for Landlord’s consent to the proposed Transfer (“Withdrawal Right”), provided Tenant exercises such Withdrawal Right within 5 Business Days after receipt of Landlord’s Termination Notice. If Tenant timely exercises its Withdrawal Right, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if Tenant had not requested Landlord’s consent to the proposed Transfer. If Tenant does not timely exercise its Withdrawal Right, Tenant shall vacate such portion of the Premises by the Landlord Termination Date and upon Tenant’s vacating such portion of the Premises, the rent and other charges payable shall be proportionately reduced. Consent by Landlord to one or more Transfer(s) shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord’s rights to approve any subsequent Transfers. In no event shall any Transfer or Permitted Transfer release or relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, nor shall the acceptance of Rent from any assignee, subtenant or occupant constitute a waiver or release of Tenant from any of its obligations or liabilities under this Lease. Tenant shall pay Landlord a review fee of $750 for Landlord’s review of any Permitted Transfer or requested Transfer, provided if Landlord’s actual reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) are anticipated to exceed $750, Landlord shall so advise Tenant in writing prior to commencing Landlord’s review of the information submitted by Tenant respecting a proposed Transfer. If following such notice Landlord’s actual reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) exceed $750, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its actual reasonable costs and expenses in lieu of a fixed review fee.

C. Payment to Landlord. If the aggregate consideration paid to a Tenant Party for a Transfer exceeds that payable by Tenant under this Lease (prorated according to the transferred interest), Tenant shall pay Landlord 50% of such excess (after deducting therefrom reasonable leasing commissions and reasonable costs of tenant improvements paid to unaffiliated third parties in connection with the Transfer, with proof of same provided to Landlord). Tenant shall pay Landlord for Landlord’s share of any excess within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of such excess consideration. If any uncured event of default exists under this Lease (or a condition exists which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would become an event of default), Landlord may require that all sublease payments be made directly to Landlord, in which case Tenant shall receive a credit against Rent in the amount of any payments received, but not to exceed the amount payable by Tenant under this Lease.

D. Change in Control of Tenant. Except for a Permitted Transfer, if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or similar entity, and if the entity which owns or controls a majority of the voting shares/rights in Tenant at any time sells or disposes of such majority of voting shares/rights, or changes its identity for any reason (including a merger, consolidation or reorganization), such change of ownership or control shall constitute a Transfer.

The foregoing shall not apply so long as, both before and after the Transfer, Tenant is an entity whose outstanding stock is listed on a recognized U.S. securities exchange, or if at least 80% of its voting stock is owned by another entity, the voting stock of which is so listed; provided, however, that Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least 30 days prior to the effective date of such change in ownership or control.

E. No Consent Required. Tenant may assign its entire interest under this Lease to its Affiliate (defined below) or to a successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization without the consent of Landlord, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied in Landlord’s reasonable discretion (a “Permitted Transfer”): (1) no uncured event of default exists under this Lease; (2) Tenant’s successor shall own all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; (3) such Affiliate or successor shall have a net worth which is at least equal to the greater of Tenant’s net worth at the date of this Lease or Tenant’s net worth as of the day prior to the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization; (4) no portion of the Building or Premises would likely become subject to additional or different Laws as a consequence of the proposed Transfer; (5) such Affiliate’s or successor’s use of the Premises shall not conflict with the Permitted Use or any exclusive usage rights granted to any other tenant in the Building; (6) the use, nature, business, activities or reputation in the business community of the Affiliate or successor shall meet Landlord’s standards for Building tenants; (7) such Affiliate or successor is not and has not been involved in litigation with Landlord or any of Landlord’s Affiliates; and (8) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least 20 days prior to the effective date of the proposed Transfer, along with all applicable documentation and other information necessary for Landlord to determine that the requirements of this Section 11.E have been satisfied, including if applicable, the qualification of such proposed transferee as an Affiliate of Tenant. The term “Affiliate” means any person or entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant or Landlord, as applicable. If requested by Landlord in writing, the Affiliate or successor shall sign a commercially reasonable form of assumption agreement.

12. Liens. Tenant shall not permit mechanic’s or other liens to be placed upon the Property, Premises or Tenant’s leasehold interest in connection with any work or service done or purportedly done by or for the benefit of Tenant. If a lien is so placed, Tenant shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord of the filing of the lien, fully discharge the lien by settling the claim which resulted in the lien or by bonding or insuring over the lien in the manner prescribed by the applicable lien Law. If Tenant fails to discharge the lien, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may bond or insure over the lien or otherwise discharge the lien. Tenant shall, within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, reimburse Landlord for any amount paid by Landlord, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to bond or insure over the lien or discharge the lien.

13. Indemnity. Subject to Article 15, Tenant shall hold Landlord, its trustees, Affiliates, subsidiaries, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, Mortgagee(s) (defined in Article 25) and agents (including the manager of the Property) (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) harmless from, and indemnify and defend such parties against, all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, actions, costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other professional fees that may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against any of such indemnified parties (each a “Claim” and collectively “Claims”) that arise out of or in connection with any damage or injury occurring in the Premises, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord Parties. Provided Landlord Parties are properly named as additional insureds in the policies required to be carried under this Lease, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, the indemnity set forth in the preceding sentence shall be limited to the greater of (A) $5,000,000, and (B) the aggregate amount of general/umbrella liability insurance actually carried by Tenant. Subject to Articles 9.B, 15 and 20, Landlord shall hold Tenant, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) harmless from, and indemnify and defend such parties against, all Claims that arise out of or in connection with any damage or injury occurring in or on the Property to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord Parties. The indemnity set forth in the preceding sentence shall be limited to the amount of $5,000,000.

14. Insurance.

A. Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall maintain the following insurance (“Tenant’s Insurance”), at its sole cost and expense: (1) commercial general liability insurance applicable to the Premises and its appurtenances providing, on an occurrence basis, a per occurrence limit of no less than $1,000,000; (2) causes of loss-special form (formerly “all risk”) property insurance, covering all above building standard leasehold improvements and Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, furniture and other personal property within the Premises (“Tenant’s Property”) in the amount of the full replacement cost thereof; (3) business income (formerly “business interruption”) insurance written on an actual loss sustained form or with sufficient limits to address reasonably anticipated business interruption losses; (4) business automobile liability insurance to cover all owned, hired and nonowned automobiles owned or operated by Tenant providing a minimum combined single limit of $1,000,000; (5) workers’ compensation insurance as required by the state in which the Premises is located and in amounts as may be required by applicable statute (provided, however, if no workers’ compensation insurance is statutorily required, Tenant shall carry workers’ compensation insurance in a minimum amount of $500,000); (6) employer’s liability insurance in an amount of at least $500,000 per occurrence; and (7) umbrella liability insurance that follows form in excess of the limits specified in (1), (4) and (6) above, of no less than $4,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate. Any company underwriting any of Tenant’s Insurance shall have, according to A.M. Best Insurance Guide, a Best’s rating of not less than A- and a Financial Size Category of not less than VIII. All commercial general liability, business automobile liability and umbrella liability insurance policies shall name Landlord (or any successor), Landlord’s property manager (if an Affiliate of Landlord), Landlord’s Mortgagee (if any), and their respective members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, and agents, and other designees of Landlord as the interest of such designees shall appear, as “additional insureds” and shall be primary with Landlord’s policy being secondary and noncontributory. If any aggregate limit is reduced because of losses paid to below 75% of the limit required by this Lease, Tenant will notify Landlord in writing within 10 days of the date of reduction. All policies of Tenant’s Insurance shall contain endorsements that the insurer(s) shall give Landlord and its designees at least 30 days’ advance written notice of any change, cancellation, termination or lapse of insurance. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance and all required endorsements evidencing Tenant’s Insurance prior to the earlier to occur of the Commencement Date or the date Tenant is provided access to the Premises for any reason, and upon renewals at least 10 days prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage. All of Tenant’s Insurance policies, endorsements and certificates will be on forms and with deductibles and self-insured retention, if any, reasonably acceptable to Landlord. The limits of Tenant’s insurance shall not limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease.

B. Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall maintain: (1) commercial general liability insurance applicable to the Property which provides, on an occurrence basis, a minimum combined single limit of no less than $5,000,000 (coverage in excess of $1,000,000 may be provided by way of an umbrella/excess liability policy); and (2) causes of loss-special form (formerly “all risk”) property insurance on the Building in the amount of the replacement cost thereof, as reasonably estimated by Landlord. The foregoing insurance and any other insurance carried by Landlord may be effected by a policy or policies of blanket insurance and shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord and under Landlord’s sole control. Consequently, Tenant shall have no right or claim to any proceeds thereof or any other rights thereunder.

15. Mutual Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant waives (except to the extent of Tenant’s insurance deductible), and shall cause its insurance carrier(s) and any other party claiming through or under such carrier(s), by way of subrogation or otherwise, to waive any and all rights of recovery, Claim, action or causes of action against all Landlord Parties for any loss or damage to Tenant’s business, any loss of use of the Premises, and any loss, theft or damage to Tenant’s Property (including Tenant’s automobiles or the contents thereof), INCLUDING ALL RIGHTS (BY WAY OF SUBROGATION OR OTHERWISE) OF RECOVERY, CLAIMS, ACTIONS OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY LANDLORD PARTY, which loss or damage is (or would have been, had the insurance required by this Lease been maintained) covered by insurance. In addition, Landlord waives (except to the extent of Landlord’s insurance deductible), and shall cause its insurance carrier(s) and any other party claiming through or under such carrier(s), by way of subrogation or otherwise, to waive any and all rights of recovery, Claim, action or causes of action against all

Tenant Parties for any loss of or damage to or loss of use of the Building, any additions or improvements to the Building, or any contents thereof, INCLUDING ALL RIGHTS (BY WAY OF SUBROGATION OR OTHERWISE) OF RECOVERY, CLAIMS, ACTIONS OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY TENANT PARTY, which loss or damage is (or would have been, had the insurance required by this Lease been maintained) covered by insurance.

16. Casualty Damage.

A. Repair or Termination by Landlord. If all or any part of the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing. Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if: (1) the Building shall be damaged so that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall be required (whether or not the Premises have been damaged); (2) Landlord is not permitted by Law to rebuild the Building in substantially the same form as existed before the fire or casualty; (3) the Premises have been materially damaged and there is less than 2 years of the Term remaining on the date of the casualty; (4) any Mortgagee requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt; or (5) an uninsured loss of the Building occurs notwithstanding Landlord’s compliance with Section 14.B above. Landlord may exercise its right to terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing within 60 days after the date of the casualty. If Landlord does not timely terminate this Lease under this Section 16.A, Landlord shall commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to repair and restore the Building and/or the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to the date of damage; provided, however, that Landlord shall only be required to reconstruct building standard leasehold improvements existing in the Premises as of the date of damage, and Tenant shall be required to pay the cost for restoring any other leasehold improvements. However, in no event shall Landlord be required to spend more than the insurance proceeds received by Landlord.

B. Timing for Repair; Termination by Either Party. If all or any portion of the Premises is damaged as a result of fire or other casualty, Landlord shall, within sixty (60) days after the damage, cause an architect or general contractor selected by Landlord to provide Landlord and Tenant with a written estimate of the amount of time required to substantially complete the repair and restoration of the Premises, using standard working methods (“Completion Estimate”). If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises cannot be made tenantable within 210 days from the date of damage, then regardless of anything in Section 16.A above to the contrary, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other of such election within 10 days after receipt of the Completion Estimate. Tenant, however, shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if the fire or casualty was caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of any of the Tenant Parties. If neither party terminates this Lease under this Section 16.B, then Landlord shall repair and restore the Premises in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 16.A. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord fails to complete such repairs to the Premises within 210 days from the date of damage due to reasons other than the non-availability of non-building standard equipment or materials for the Premises, or Tenant’s failure to furnish information or approvals within any time period reasonably necessary to complete repairs within such 210-day period, or changes requested or made by Tenant with respect to such repairs, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease following 30 days’ written notice given after such 210-day period; provided, however, if Landlord completes such repairs prior to the expiration of the 30-day notice period, Tenant’s right to terminate shall be null and void.

C. Abatement. In the event a material portion of the Premises is damaged as a result of a fire or other casualty, the Base Rent shall ▇▇▇▇▇ for the portion of the Premises that is damaged and not usable by Tenant until substantial completion of the repairs and restoration required to be made by Landlord pursuant to Section 16.A. Tenant, however, shall not be entitled to such abatement if the fire or other casualty was caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of any of the Tenant Parties. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to Tenant’s Property or to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from the fire or other casualty or from the repair and restoration of the damage. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any Law relating to the matters addressed in this Article, and agree that their respective rights for damage to or destruction of the Premises shall be those specifically provided in this Lease.

17. Condemnation. Either party may terminate this Lease if the whole or any material part of the Premises are taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”). Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any portion of the Building or Property which would leave the remainder of the Building unsuitable for use as an office building in a manner comparable to the Building’s use prior to the Taking, provided that Landlord contemporaneously terminates (to the extent Landlord has such right of termination) all other similarly affected leases in the Building. In order to exercise its right to terminate this Lease under this Article 17, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, must provide written notice of termination to the other within 45 days after the terminating party first receives notice of the Taking. Any such termination shall be effective as of the date the physical taking of the Premises or the portion of the Building or Property occurs. If this Lease is not terminated, the Rentable Square Footage of the Building, the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall, if applicable, be appropriately adjusted by Landlord. In addition, Base Rent for any portion of the Premises taken or condemned shall be abated during the unexpired Term effective when the physical taking of the portion of the Premises occurs. All compensation awarded for a Taking, or sale proceeds, shall be the property of Landlord, any right to receive compensation or proceeds being expressly waived by Tenant. However, Tenant may file a separate claim at its sole cost and expense for Tenant’s Property (excluding above building standard leasehold improvements) and Tenant’s reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of such claim does not diminish the award which would otherwise be receivable by Landlord.

18. Events of Default. Tenant shall be considered to be in default under this Lease upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default:

A. Tenant’s failure to pay when due all or any portion of the Rent and such failure is not cured within five (5) days after written notice to Tenant (“Monetary Default”); provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to give written notice of a Monetary Default for non-payment of regularly scheduled Rent installments more than twice during any consecutive 12 month period.

B. Tenant’s failure to perform any of the obligations of Tenant in the manner set forth in Articles 14, 23, 24 or 25 (a “Time Sensitive Default”).

C. Tenant’s failure (other than a Monetary Default or a Time Sensitive Default) to comply with any term, provision or covenant of this Lease, if the failure is not cured within twenty (20) days after written notice to Tenant. However, if Tenant’s failure to comply cannot reasonably be cured within twenty (20) days, Tenant shall be allowed additional time (not to exceed an additional twenty (20) days) as is reasonably necessary to cure the failure so long as: (1) Tenant commences to cure the failure within the twenty (20) day period following Landlord’s initial written notice, and (2) Tenant diligently pursues a course of action that will cure the failure and bring Tenant back into compliance with this Lease. However, if Tenant’s failure to comply creates a hazardous condition, the failure must be cured immediately upon written notice to Tenant.

D. Tenant or any Guarantor becomes insolvent, files a petition for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or similar Law) or a petition is filed against Tenant or any Guarantor under such Laws and is not dismissed within 45 days after the date of such filing, makes a transfer in fraud of creditors or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts when due.

E. The leasehold estate is taken by process or operation of Law.

F. [Intentionally Omitted]

G. Tenant is in default beyond any notice and cure period under any other lease or agreement with Landlord, including any lease or agreement for parking.

19. Remedies.

A. Landlord’s Remedies. Upon and during the continued existence of any default, Landlord shall have the right without notice or demand (except as provided in Article 18) to

pursue any of its rights and remedies at Law or in equity, including any one or more of the following remedies:

(1) Terminate this Lease;

(2) Re-enter the Premises, change locks, alter security devices and lock out Tenant or terminate Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease;

(3) Remove and store, at Tenant’s expense, all the property in the Premises using such lawful force as may be necessary;

(4) Cure such event of default for Tenant at Tenant’s expense (plus a 15% administrative fee);

(5) Withhold or suspend payment of sums Landlord would otherwise be obligated to pay to Tenant under this Lease or any other agreement;

(6) If any check in payment of Tenant’s monetary obligations is returned for insufficient funds, Landlord shall be entitled to require all future payments to be made by cashier’s check, money order or wire transfer;

(7) Apply any Security Deposit as permitted under this Lease; and/or

(8) Recover such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable Law, including 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 events would be likely to result therefrom.

B. Measure of Damages.

(1) Calculation. If Landlord either terminates this Lease or terminates Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Tenant shall immediately surrender and vacate the Premises and pay Landlord on demand: (a) all Rent accrued through the end of the month in which the termination becomes effective; (b) interest on all unpaid Rent from the date due at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the highest interest rate permitted by applicable Law; (c) all expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in enforcing its rights and remedies under this Lease, including all reasonable legal expenses; (d) Costs of Reletting (defined below); and (e) all Landlord’s Rental Damages (defined below). In the event that Landlord relets the Premises for an amount greater than the Rent due during the Term, Tenant shall not receive a credit for any such excess. Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable for any consequential, exemplary or punitive damages or lost profits.

(2) Definitions. “Costs of Reletting” shall include commercially reasonable costs, losses and expenses incurred by Landlord in reletting all or any portion of the Premises including, without limitation, the cost of removing and storing Tenant’s furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, inventory or other property, repairing and/or demolishing the Premises, removing and/or replacing Tenant’s signage and other fixtures, making the Premises ready for a new tenant, including the cost of advertising, commissions, architectural fees, legal fees and leasehold improvements, and any market allowances and/or concessions provided by Landlord (determined in accordance with the parameters for “Market Rental Rate” under Rider No. 1 attached hereto). “Landlord’s Rental Damages” shall mean the total Rent which Landlord would have received under this Lease (had Tenant made all such Lease payments as required) for the remainder of the Term minus the fair rental value of the Premises for the same period, or, if the Premises are relet, the actual rental value (not to exceed the Rent due during the Term), both discounted to present value at the Prime Rate (defined below) in effect upon the date of determination. For purposes hereof, the “Prime Rate” shall be the per annum interest rate publicly announced by a federally insured bank selected by Landlord in the state in which the Building is located as such bank’s prime or base rate.

C. Tenant Not Relieved from Liabilities. Unless Landlord terminates this Lease or as expressly provided in this Lease, the repossession or re-entering of all or any part of the

Premises shall not relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations under this Lease. No right or remedy of Landlord shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy. Each right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right and remedy now or subsequently available to Landlord at Law or in equity. If Tenant fails to pay any amount when due hereunder (after the expiration of any applicable cure period), Landlord shall be entitled to receive interest on any unpaid item of Rent from the date initially due (without regard to any applicable grace period) at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the highest rate permitted by Law. In addition, if Tenant fails to pay any item or installment of Rent when due (after the expiration of any applicable cure period), Tenant shall pay Landlord an administrative fee equal to 5% of the past due Rent. However, in no event shall the charges permitted under this Section 19.C or elsewhere in this Lease, to the extent they are considered interest under applicable Law, exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest. If any payment by Tenant of an amount deemed to be interest results in Tenant having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by Law, then it is the express intent of Landlord and Tenant that all such excess amounts theretofore collected by Landlord be credited against the other amounts owing by Tenant under this Lease. Receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s keys to the Premises shall not constitute an acceptance or surrender of the Premises. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS LEASE TO THE CONTRARY, TENANT SHALL HOLD LANDLORD PARTIES HARMLESS FROM AND INDEMNIFY AND DEFEND SUCH PARTIES AGAINST, ALL CLAIMS THAT ARISE OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH A BREACH OF THIS LEASE, SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING ANY VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAWS OR CONTAMINATION (DEFINED IN ARTICLE 30) CAUSED BY A TENANT PARTY.

D. Mitigation of Damages. Upon termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises, Landlord shall, only to the extent required by Law, use objectively reasonable efforts to mitigate damages by reletting the Premises. Landlord shall not be deemed to have failed to do so if Landlord refuses to lease the Premises to a prospective new tenant with respect to whom Landlord would be entitled to withhold its consent pursuant to Section 11.A, or who (1) is an Affiliate, parent or subsidiary of Tenant; (2) is not acceptable to any Mortgagee of Landlord; (3) requires improvements to the Premises to be made at Landlord’s expense; or (4) is unwilling to accept lease terms then proposed by Landlord, including: (a) leasing for a shorter or longer term than remains under this Lease; (b) re-configuring or combining the Premises with other space, (c) taking all or only a part of the Premises; and/or (d) changing the use of the Premises. Notwithstanding Landlord’s duty to mitigate its damages as provided herein, Landlord shall not be obligated (i) to give any priority to reletting Tenant’s space in connection with its leasing of space in the Building or any complex of which the Building is a part, or (ii) to accept below market rental rates for the Premises or any rate that would negatively impact the market rates for the Building.

E. Landlord’s Lien. To secure Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Tenant grants Landlord a contractual security interest on all of Tenant’s inventory, goods, consumer goods and equipment now or hereafter situated in the Premises and all proceeds therefrom, including insurance proceeds (collectively, “Collateral”). No Collateral shall be removed from the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent until all of Tenant’s obligations are fully satisfied (except in the ordinary course of business and then only if replaced with items of same or greater value and quality). Upon any event of default, Landlord may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law and in addition to any other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Premises and take possession of any Collateral without being held liable for trespass or conversion, and sell the same at public or private sale, after giving Tenant at least 10 days written notice (or more if required by Law) of the time and place of such sale. Such notice may be sent with or without return receipt requested. Unless prohibited by Law, any Landlord Party may purchase any Collateral at such sale. Subject to applicable Law, the proceeds from such sale, less Landlord’s expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses, shall be credited against Tenant’s obligations. Any surplus shall be paid to Tenant (or as otherwise required by Law) and any deficiency shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to file a financing statement sufficient to perfect the foregoing security interest, or to file a copy of this Lease as a financing statement, as permitted under Law. Landlord agrees to subordinate its foregoing contractual lien rights to a third party providing furniture, fixtures and/or equipment for Tenant’s use in the Premises during the Term (or providing funds for the acquisition of same), provided that (i) there is no uncured event of default by Tenant under the Lease at the time of such subordination; (ii) such subordination shall be limited to the specified items, amount and time stated in the subordinating instrument; and (iii) such subordination shall be in writing, signed by all parties and in a form acceptable to Landlord. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, Landlord’s security interest (i) shall not attach to any personal property subject to an existing perfected security interest (but only for so long as such other security interest exists) in favor of a bank or other financial institution whose loan and security agreements with Tenant prohibit any other liens on such collateral, but (ii) shall be subordinate to any such existing security interests that do not prohibit subordinate liens.

F. Landlord Defaults and Tenant Remedies. Landlord shall be in default under this Lease in the event Landlord has not begun, within thirty (30) days of the receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant of Landlord’s alleged failure to perform, the cure of any such alleged failure and thereafter pursued with reasonable diligence such cure (and such 30-day period shall be extended as necessary to permit Landlord to effectuate such cure if such alleged failure to perform is not susceptible of cure within such 30-day period). In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or rescind this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default. Tenant waives such remedies of termination or rescission (except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Lease) and agrees that Tenant’s remedies for default under this Lease and for breach of any promise or inducement are limited to a suit for damages and/or injunction, and are specifically subject to Sections 3.B and 20. In addition, Tenant shall, prior to the exercise of any such remedies, provide each Mortgagee relative to the Property (in each instance, only as to those entities of which Tenant has notice of their interest) with written notice and reasonable time to cure any default by Landlord.

20. Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the liability of Landlord (and of any successor Landlord) to Tenant (or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant) shall be limited to the interest of Landlord in the Property. Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Property for the recovery of any judgment or award against Landlord. No Landlord Party shall be personally liable for any judgment or deficiency. Before filing suit for an alleged default by Landlord, Tenant shall give Landlord and the Mortgagee(s) (defined in Article 25) whom Tenant has been notified hold Mortgages (defined in Article 25) on the Property, Building or Premises, notice and reasonable time to cure the alleged default. Tenant hereby waives all claims against all Landlord Parties for consequential, special or punitive damages allegedly suffered by any Tenant Parties, including lost profits and business interruption. Landlord shall look solely to the assets of ▇▇▇▇▇ Global (USA), Inc., including, without limitation, real, personal, tangible, intangible and mixed assets, wherever the same may be located, for the recovery of any monetary judgment against Tenant hereunder, it being agreed that Landlord shall not proceed against any individual shareholder, director or officer of Tenant for the recovery of monetary obligations of Tenant under or relating to this Lease. The provisions contained in the foregoing sentence are not intended to, and shall not, limit any rights that Landlord might otherwise have to (i) obtain injunctive and/or other non-monetary equitable relief against Tenant, or its successors in interest, or other party liable; or (ii) any suit or action in connection with enforcement or collection of amounts which may become owing or payable under or on account of insurance maintained by Tenant.

21. No Waiver. Neither party’s failure to declare a default immediately upon its occurrence or delay in taking action for a default shall constitute a waiver of the default, nor shall it constitute an estoppel. Neither party’s failure to enforce its rights for a default shall constitute a waiver of that party’s rights regarding any subsequent default.

22. Tenant’s Right to Possession. Provided Tenant pays the Rent and fully performs all of its other covenants and agreements under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to occupy the Premises without hindrance from Landlord or any person lawfully claiming through Landlord, subject to the terms of this Lease, all Mortgages, insurance requirements and applicable Law. This covenant and all other covenants of Landlord shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only during its or their respective periods of ownership of the Building, and shall not be a personal covenant of any Landlord Parties.

23. Relocation. [Intentionally Omitted.]

24. Holding Over. Except for any permitted occupancy by Tenant under Article 29, if Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant fails to surrender the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, the continued occupancy of the Premises shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. Tenant shall pay an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to 150% of the greater of: (A) the sum of

the Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Expenses due for the period immediately preceding the holdover; or (B) the fair market gross rental for the Premises. Tenant shall otherwise continue to be subject to all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. No holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant after the expiration or early termination of this Lease shall be construed to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. In addition to the payment of the amounts provided above, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to a new tenant, or to perform improvements for a new tenant, as a result of Tenant’s holdover and Tenant fails to vacate the Premises within 15 days after Landlord notifies Tenant of Landlord’s inability to deliver possession, or perform improvements, such failure shall constitute a Time Sensitive Default hereunder; and notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, TENANT SHALL BE LIABLE TO LANDLORD FOR, AND SHALL PROTECT LANDLORD FROM AND INDEMNIFY AND DEFEND LANDLORD AGAINST, ALL LOSSES AND DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS MADE BY ANY SUCCEEDING TENANT RESULTING FROM SUCH FAILURE TO VACATE, AND ANY ACTUAL DAMAGES THAT LANDLORD SUFFERS FROM THE HOLDOVER.

25. Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate. Landlord represents to Tenant that, as of the Effective Date of this Lease, the Building and Property are not subject to any monetary lien or encumbrance. Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) subsequently affecting the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively, a “Mortgage”) subject to Tenant’s receipt of a commercially reasonable form of subordination and non-disturbance agreement (“SNDA”) from any future Mortgagee (defined below) at no additional cost to Tenant; provided however, that if Tenant desires to negotiate any changes or modifications to such commercially reasonable form of SNDA, the same shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a “Mortgagee.” This clause shall be self-operative, but within fifteen (15) days after a written request from a Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination agreement in favor of the Mortgagee. In lieu of having the Mortgage be superior to this Lease, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. If requested by a successor-in-interest to all or a part of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, Tenant shall, without charge, attorn to the successor-in-interest. Tenant shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt of a written request from Landlord, execute and deliver an estoppel certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by Landlord (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). The estoppel certificate shall include a statement certifying that this Lease is unmodified (except as identified in the estoppel certificate) and in full force and effect, describing the dates to which Rent and other charges have been paid, representing that, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, there is no default by Landlord (or stating with specificity the nature of the alleged default) and certifying other factual matters with respect to this Lease that may reasonably be requested. Tenant’s failure to provide any estoppel certificate within the twenty (20) day period specified above, and the continuation of such failure for a period of twenty (20) days after Landlord delivers a second written notice requesting same, shall constitute a Time Sensitive Default under this Lease.

26. Attorneys’ Fees. If either party institutes a suit against the other for violation of or to enforce any covenant or condition of this Lease, or if either party intervenes in any suit in which the other is a party to enforce or protect its interest or rights, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all of its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

27. Notice. If a demand, request, approval, consent or notice (collectively, a “notice”) shall or may be given to either party by the other, the notice shall be in writing and delivered by hand or sent by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested, or sent by overnight or same day courier service, or sent by facsimile, at the party’s respective Notice Address(es) set forth in Article 1, except that if Tenant has vacated the Premises (or if the Notice Address for Tenant is other than the Premises, and Tenant has vacated such address) without providing Landlord a new Notice Address, Landlord may serve notice in any manner described in this Article or in any other manner permitted by Law. Each notice shall be deemed to have been received or given on the earlier to occur of actual delivery (which, in the case of delivery by facsimile, shall be deemed to occur at the time of delivery indicated on the electronic confirmation of the facsimile) or the date on which delivery is first refused, or, if Tenant has vacated the Premises or the other Notice Address of Tenant without providing a new Notice Address, three (3) days after notice is deposited in the U.S. mail or with a courier service in the manner described above. Either party

may, at any time, change its Notice Address by giving the other party written notice of the new address in the manner described in this Article.

28. Reserved Rights. This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the Building. Landlord excepts and reserves exclusively to itself the use of: (A) roofs, (B) telephone, electrical and janitorial closets, (C) equipment rooms, Building risers or similar areas that are used by Landlord for the provision of Building services, (D) rights to the land and improvements below the floor of the Premises, (E) the improvements and air rights above the Premises, (F) the improvements and air rights outside the demising walls of the Premises, (G) the areas within the Premises used for the installation of utility lines and other installations serving occupants of the Building, and (H) any other areas designated from time to time by Landlord as service areas of the Building. Tenant shall not have the right to install or operate any equipment producing radio frequencies, electrical or electromagnetic output or other signals, noise or emissions in or from the Building without the prior written consent of Landlord. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Landlord reserves the right to restrict and control the use of such equipment. Landlord has the right to change the Building’s name or address. Landlord also has the right to make such other changes to the Property and Building (other than the Premises) as Landlord deems appropriate, provided the changes do not materially affect Tenant’s ability to use the Premises for the Permitted Use. Landlord shall also have the right (but not the obligation) to temporarily close the Building if Landlord reasonably determines that there is an imminent danger of significant damage to the Building or of personal injury to Landlord’s employees or the occupants of the Building. The circumstances under which Landlord may temporarily close the Building shall include, without limitation, electrical interruptions, hurricanes and civil disturbances. A closure of the Building under such circumstances shall not constitute a constructive eviction nor entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent.

29. Surrender of Premises. All improvements to the Premises (collectively, “Leasehold Improvements”) shall be owned by Landlord and shall remain upon the Premises without compensation to Tenant. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s Removable Property (defined below) from the Premises, and quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, and in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. As used herein, the term “Tenant’s Removable Property” shall mean: (A) Cable installed by or for the benefit of Tenant and located in the Premises or other portions of the Building; (B) any Leasehold Improvements that are installed by or for the benefit of Tenant and, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are of a nature that would require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs associated with standard office improvements (“Special Installations”); and (C) Tenant’s personal property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole discretion and at no cost to Landlord, require Tenant to leave any of its Special Installations in the Premises. If Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant’s Removable Property (other than Special Installations which Landlord has designated to remain in the Premises) within 2 days after the termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be entitled (but not obligated) to remove and store Tenant’s Removable Property. Landlord shall not be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of Tenant’s Removable Property. Tenant shall pay Landlord, within ten (10) days after written demand, the expenses and storage charges incurred for Tenant’s Removable Property. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any unused portion of Tenant’s Security Deposit may be applied to offset Landlord’s costs set forth in the preceding sentence. In addition, if Tenant fails to remove Tenant’s Removable Property from the Premises or storage, as the case may be, within 30 days after written notice, Landlord may deem all or any part of Tenant’s Removable Property to be abandoned, and title to Tenant’s Removable Property (except with respect to any Hazardous Material [defined in Article 30]) shall be deemed to be immediately vested in Landlord. Except for Special Installations designated by Landlord to remain in the Premises, Tenant’s Removable Property shall be removed by Tenant before the Expiration Date; provided that upon Landlord’s prior written consent (which must be requested by Tenant at least 30 days in advance of the Expiration Date and which shall not be unreasonably withheld), Tenant may remain in the Premises for up to 5 days after the Expiration Date for the sole purpose of removing Tenant’s Removable Property. Tenant’s possession of the Premises for such purpose shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including the obligation to pay Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Excess Operating Expenses on a per diem basis at the rate in effect for the last month of the Term. In the event this Lease is terminated prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant’s Removable Property (except for Special Installations designated by Landlord to remain

in the Premises) shall be removed by Tenant on or before such earlier date of termination. Tenant shall repair damage caused by the installation or removal of Tenant’s Removable Property.

30. Hazardous Materials.

A. Restrictions. No Hazardous Material (defined below) (except for de minimis quantities of household cleaning products and office supplies used in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business at the Premises and that are used, kept and disposed of in compliance with Laws) shall be brought upon, used, kept or disposed of in or about the Premises or the Property by any Tenant Parties or any of Tenant’s transferees, contractors or licensees without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Tenant’s request for such consent shall include a representation and warranty by Tenant that the Hazardous Material in question (1) is necessary in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business, and (2) shall be used, kept and disposed of in compliance with all Laws.

B. Remediation. Tenant shall, at its expense, monitor the Premises for the presence of Hazardous Materials or conditions which may reasonably give rise to Contamination (defined below) and promptly notify Landlord if it suspects Contamination in the Premises. Any remediation of Contamination caused by a Tenant Party or its contractors or invitees which is required by Law or which is deemed necessary by Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, shall be performed by Landlord and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof, plus a 15% administrative fee.

C. Definitions. For purposes of this Article 30, a “Hazardous Material” is any substance the presence of which requires, or may hereafter require, notification, investigation or remediation under any Laws or which is now or hereafter defined, listed or regulated by any governmental authority as a “hazardous waste”, “extremely hazardous waste”, “solid waste”, “toxic substance”, “hazardous substance”, “hazardous material” or “regulated substance”, or otherwise regulated under any Laws. “Contamination” means the existence or any release or disposal of a Hazardous Material or biological or organic contaminant, including any such contaminant which could adversely impact air quality, such as mold, fungi or other bacterial agents, in, on, under, at or from the Premises, the Building or the Property which may result in any liability, fine, use restriction, cost recovery lien, remediation requirement, or other government or private party action or imposition affecting any Landlord Party.

D. Reports, Surveys and Acceptance of Premises. All current surveys or reports prepared for the Property regarding the presence of Hazardous Materials (if any) in the Building are available for inspection by Tenant in the office of the Property manager. With respect to Hazardous Materials, Tenant hereby (1) accepts full responsibility for reviewing any such surveys and reports and satisfying itself prior to the execution of this Lease as to the acceptability of the Premises under Section 3.B above, and (2) acknowledges and agrees that this provision satisfies all notice requirements under applicable Law. In the event Tenant performs or causes to be performed any test on or within the Premises for the purpose of determining the presence of a Hazardous Material, Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent and use a vendor approved by Landlord for such testing. In addition, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a copy of such test within 10 days of Tenant’s receipt. Landlord represents that, to Landlord’s current actual knowledge without further inquiry, the Premises contains no reportable quantities of any Hazardous Material, the removal or remediation of which is required by Laws in effect at the time of execution of this Lease. If a subsequent investigation reveals the need under applicable Law for removal, abatement or remediation of Hazardous Materials located in the Building core or Common Areas or located within the Premises as of the Delivery Date and in either instance not resulting from the action of any Tenant Party, Landlord shall proceed with clean up, remediation and/or abatement of the same at no cost to Tenant (but with reservation of rights as against any third party who may be liable for any such removal, abatement or remediation costs).

31. Miscellaneous.

A. Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue; Severability; Paragraph Headings. This Lease and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the state in which the Property is located. All obligations under this Lease are performable in the county or other jurisdiction where the

Property is located, which shall be venue for all legal actions. If any term or provision of this Lease shall be invalid or unenforceable, then such term or provision shall be automatically reformed to the extent necessary to render such term or provision enforceable, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document.

AFTER CONSULTATION WITH AN ATTORNEY OF TENANT’S OWN SELECTION, TENANT VOLUNTARILY ADOPTS THIS WAIVER.

N. Signage Rights. Prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall, at its sole expense, install a multi-tenant monument sign at the Property. During the Term, but only so long as (a) Tenant occupies at least 22,000 Rentable Square Feet in the Building and (b) no event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Lease, Landlord agrees to install, display and maintain, at Tenant’s sole expense, signage identifying Tenant’s name and logo (the “Signage”) on the top panel of the monument sign (provided, however, that Landlord shall be entitled from time to time to relocate Tenant’s signage panel to a lower position on the monument sign upon and following the execution of any lease with another lessee leasing more than 22,000 Rentable Square Feet in the Building). The signage rights granted herein are personal to the specific party originally identified as the “Tenant” under the Lease and may not be transferred, shared or assigned in whole or in part to any assignee, subtenant or other tenant in the Building other than a Permitted Transfer. The location, size, material, construction and design of the Signage shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, in its reasonable discretion and compliance with applicable Laws. Upon the Expiration Date or earlier termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord all expenses incurred in connection with the removal and disposition of the Signage and the repair of any damage caused by the Signage or its removal.
