TERM/PREMISES

The Term of the Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date as set forth in Article 1.A. of the Basic Lease Provisions and shall end on the Expiration Date set forth in Article 1.A of the Basic Lease Provisions. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Year” shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Term, with the first (1^st) Lease Year commencing on the Commencement Date; however, (a) if the Commencement Date falls on a day other than the first (1^st) day of a calendar month, the first (1^st) Lease Year shall end on the last day of the eleventh (11^th) month after Commencement Date and the second (2^nd) and each succeeding Lease Year shall commence on the first (1^st) day of the next calendar month, and (b) the last Lease Year shall end on the Expiration Date. If Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premise to Tenant on or before the anticipated Commencement Date (as set forth in Article 1.A, above), except as provided in Section 5.3 of the Tenant Work Letter, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for its failure to do so, and such failure shall not affect the validity of the Lease nor the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Landlord and Tenant hereby stipulate that the Premises contains the number of square feet specified in Article 1.B of the Basic Lease Provisions. Landlord may deliver to Tenant a Commencement Letter in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit “C”, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of receipt thereof. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver the Commencement Letter shall constitute acknowledgement by Tenant that the statements included in such notice are true and correct, without exceptions.

ARTICLE 3

RENTAL

(a) Basic Rental. Tenant agrees to pay the Landlord during the Term hereof, at Landlord’s office or to such other person or at such other place as directed from time to time by written notice to Tenant from Landlord, the initial monthly and annual sums as set forth in Article 1.C. of the basic Lease Provisions, payable in advance on the first (1^st) day of each calendar month, without demand, setoff of deduction, and in the even this Lease commences or the date of expiration of this Lease occurs other than on the first (1^st) day or last day of a calendar month, the rent for such month shall be prorated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first full month’s Basic Rental shall be paid to Landlord in accordance with Article 1.J. of the Basic Lease Provisions.

(b) Increase in Direct Costs. The term “Base Year” means the calendar year set forth in Article 1.D. of the Basic Lease Provisions. If, in any calendar year during the Term of this

Lease, the “Direct Costs” (as hereinafter defined) paid or incurred by Landlord shall be higher than the Direct Costs for the Base Year, Tenant shall pay an additional sum for each such subsequent calendar year equal to the product of the amount set forth in Article 1.E. of the Basic Lease Provisions multiplied by such increased amount of “Direct Costs.” In the event either the Premises and/or the Project is expanded or reduced, the Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be appropriately adjusted, and as to the calendar year in which such change occurs, Tenant’s Proportionate Share for such calendar year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during that particular calendar year that such Tenant’s Proportionate Share was in effect. In the event this Lease shall terminate on any date other than the last day of a calendar year the additional sum payable hereunder by Tenant during the calendar year in which this Lease terminates shall be prorated on the basis of the relationship which the number of days which have elapsed from the commencement of said calendar year to and including said date on which this Lease terminates bears to three hundred sixty five (365). Any and all amounts due and payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (other than Basic Rental) shall be deemed “Additional Rent” and Landlord shall be entitled to exercise the same rights and remedies upon default in these payments as Landlord is entitled to exercise with respect to defaults in monthly Basic Rental payments.

(i) “Tax Costs”, which shall mean any and all real estate taxes and other similar charges on real property or improvements, assessments, water and sewer charges, and all other charges assessed, reassessed or levied upon the Project and appurtenances thereto and the parking or other facilities thereof, or the real property thereunder (collectively the “Real Property” or attributable thereto or on the rents, issues, profits or income received or derived therefrom which are assessed, reassessed or levied by the United States, the State of California or any local government authority or agency or any political subdivision thereof and shall include Landlord’s reasonable legal fees, costs and disbursements incurred in connection with proceedings for reduction of Tax Costs or any part thereof; provided, however if at any time after the date of the Lease the methods of taxation now prevailing shall be altered so that in lieu of or as a supplement to or substitute for the whole or any part of any Tax Costs, there shall be assessed, reassessed or levied (a) a tax, assessment, reassessment, levy imposition or charge wholly or partially as a net income, capital or franchise levy or otherwise on the rents, issues, profits or income derived therefrom, or (b) a tax, assessment reassessment, levy (including but not limited to any municipal, state, or federal levy), imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon the Real Property and imposed upon Landlord, then except to the extent such items are payable by Tenant under Article 6 below, such taxes, assessments, reassessments or levies or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included in the term “Direct Costs.” Tax Costs includable in Direct Costs shall be reduced to the extent that Landlord prevails in any proceeds for a reduction of such charges, provided that (A) Tax Costs shall only include Landlord’s legal fees incurred in connection with such proceedings to the extent such proceedings are reasonably expected to result in a reduction of Tax Costs, and (B) in no event shall Tax Costs included in Direct Costs for any year subsequent to the Base Year be less than the amount of Tax Costs included in Direct Costs for the Base Year (in such case Tenant shall not be responsible for the payment of any Tax Costs for such subsequent year). In addition, when calculating Tax Costs for the Base Year, special assessments shall only be deemed included in Tax Costs for Base Year to the extent that such special assessments are included in Tax Costs for the applicable subsequent calendar year during the Term. Any real estate tax assessments which are payable in installments shall be included in Tax Costs as if such costs were paid over the maximum number of installments permitted by law.

(ii) “Operating Costs”, which shall mean all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the maintenance, operation, replacement, ownership and repair of the Project, the equipment, the intrabuilding cabling and wiring, adjacent walks, malls and landscaped and common areas and the parking structure, areas and facilities of the Project, including but not limited to, salaries, wages, medical surgical and general welfare benefits and pension payments, payroll taxes, fringe benefits, employment taxes, workers’ compensation, uniforms and dry cleaning thereof for all persons who perform duties connected with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Project, its equipment, the intrabuilding cabling and wiring and the adjacent walks and landscaped areas, including janitorial, gardening, security, parking, operation engineer, elevator, painting, plumbing, electrical carpentry, heating,

ventilation, air conditioning, window washing, hired services, a reasonable allowance for depreciation of the cost of acquiring or the rental expense of personal property used in the maintenance, operation and repair of the Project, accountant’s fees incurred in the preparation of rent adjustment statements, legal fees, real estate tax consulting fees, personal property taxes on property used in the maintenance and operation of the Project, fees, costs, expenses or dues payable pursuant to the terms of any covenants, conditions or restrictions or owners’ association pertaining to the Project, capital expenditures incurred where the economies reasonably expected to be achieved each year are in excess of the reasonably expected annual amortized cost of such expenditure and capital expenditures required by governmental regulations, law, or ordinances not in effect as of the Commencement Date and costs incurred (capital or otherwise) on a regular recurring basis every three (3) or more years for certain maintenance projects (e.g. parking lot slurry coat or replacement of lobby and elevator cab carpeting), provided that any such permitted capital improvements shall be amortized over the reasonably determined useful life of the capital improvement and the amount considered as Operating Costs in any one (1) year shall be limited to the amount of such yearly amortization; the cost of all charges for electricity, gas water and other utilities furnished to the Project, including any taxes thereon; the cost of all charges for fire and extended coverage, liability and all other insurance in connection with the Project carried by Landlord; the cost of all building and cleaning supplies and materials; the cost of all charges for cleaning, maintenance and service contracts and other services with independent contractors and administration fees; a property management fee (which fee may be inputed if Landlord has internalized management or otherwise acts as its own property manager) and license, permit and inspection fees relating to the Project. In the event, during any calendar year, the Project is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied at all times, Operating Costs shall be adjusted to reflect the Operating Costs of the Project as though ninety-five percent (95%) were occupied at all times, and the increase or decrease in the sums owed hereunder shall be based upon such Operating Costs as so adjusted. In no event shall costs for any item of utilities included in Direct Costs for any year subsequent to the Base Year be less than the amount included in Direct Costs for the Base Year for such utility item. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 3, when calculating Operating Costs for the Base Year, unless Operating Costs for the applicable subsequent calendar year include the applicable following items, Operating Costs shall exclude (a) increases due to extraordinary circumstances including, but not limited to, labor-related boycotts and strikes, utility rate hikes, utility conservation surcharges, or other surcharges, insurance premiums resulting for terrorism coverage, catastrophic events and/or the management of environmental risks, and (b) amortization of any capital items including, but not limited to, capital improvements, capital repairs and capital replacements (including such amortized costs where the actual improvement, repair or replacement was made in prior years).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the aggregate Controllable Operating Costs, as that term is defined below, shall not increase more than six percent (6%) in any calendar year over the maximum amount of Controllable Operating Costs chargeable for the immediately preceding calendar year, with no limit on the Controllable Operating Costs during the Base Year (i.e. the actual Controllable Operating Costs for the Base Year shall be the maximum amount for the base Year for purposes of this provision). “Controllable Operating Costs” shall mean all Direct Costs except Tax Costs, utility charges and insurance charges.

In addition, notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, Operating Costs shall not include (1) the cost of providing any service directly to and paid directly by any tenant (outside of such tenant’s Direct Cost payments); (2) the cost of any items for which Landlord is reimbursed by insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, ad tenant of the Project, or otherwise to the extent so reimbursed; (3) any real estate brokerage commissions or other costs incurred in procuring tenants, or any fee in lieu of commission; (4) amortization of principal and interest on mortgages or ground lease payments (if any); (5) costs of items considered capital repairs, replacements, improvements and equipment under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied except as expressly included in Operating Costs pursuant to the definition above; (6) costs incurred by Landlord due to the violation by Landlord or any tenant of the terms and conditions of any lease of space in the Project or any law, code, regulation, ordinance or the like; (7) any compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other persons in commercial concessions operated by Landlord (other than in the parking facility for the Project); (8) costs incurred in connection with upgrading the Project to comply with disability, life, seismic, fire and safety codes, ordinances, statutes, or other laws in effect prior to the Commencement Date, including without limitation, the then applicable requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), including penalties or damages incurred due to such non-compliance; (9) bad debt

expenses and interest, principal, points and fees on debts (except in connection with the financing of items which may be included in Operating Costs); (10) marketing costs, including those costs described in (3) above, attorneys’ fees in connection with the negotiation and preparation of letters, deal memos, letters of intent, leases, subleases and/or assignments, space planning costs, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with lease, sublease and/or assignment negotiations and transactions with present or prospective tenants or other occupants of the Project, including attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenditures incurred in connection with disputes with present or prospective tenants or other occupants of the Project; (11) costs, including permit, license and inspection costs, incurred with respect to the installation of other tenants’ or occupants’ improvements made for tenants or other occupants in the Project or incurred in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating, painting or redecorating vacant space for tenants or other occupants in the Project; (12) any costs expressly excluded from Operating Costs elsewhere in this Lease; (13) costs of any items (including, but not limited to, costs incurred by Landlord for the repair of damage to the Project) to the extend Landlord receives reimbursement form insurance proceeds or from a third party (except that any deductible amount under any insurance policy shall be included within Operating Costs); (14) (18) rentals and other related expenses for leasing an HVAC systems, elevators, or other items (except when needed in connection with normal repairs and maintenance of the Project) which if purchased, rather than rented, would constitute a capital improvement not included in Operating Costs pursuant to this Lease; (15) depreciation, amortization and interest payments, except as specifically included in Operating Costs pursuant to the terms of this Lease and except on materials, tools, supplies and vendor-type equipment purchased by Landlord to enable Landlord to supply services Landlord might otherwise contract for with a third party, where such depreciation, amortization and interest payments would otherwise have been included in the charge for such third party’s services, all as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and when depreciation or amortization is permitted or required the item shall be amortized over its reasonably anticipated useful life; (16) expenses in connection with services or other benefits which are not offered to Tenant or for which Tenant is charged for directly but which are provided to another tenant or occupant of the Project, without charge; (17) electric power costs or other utility costs for which any tenant directly contracts with the local public service company (but Landlord shall have the right to “gross up” as if such space was vacant); (18) costs incurred in connection with the operation of retail stores selling merchandise and restaurants in the Project to the extent such costs are in excess of the costs Landlord reasonably estimates would have been incurred had such space been used for general office use; (19) costs (including in connection therewith all attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement, judgments and/or payments in lieu thereof) arising from claims, disputes or potential disputes in connection with potential or actual claims litigation or arbitrations pertaining to Landlord and/or the Project, other than such claims or disputes respecting any services or equipment used in the operation of the Building by Landlord; (20) costs associated with the operation of the business of the partnership which constitutes Landlord as the same are distinguished from the costs of operation of the Project; (21) costs incurred in connection with the original construction of the Project; (22) costs of correcting defect in or inadequacy of the initial design or construction of the Project; (23) costs incurred to (i) comply with laws relating to the removal of any “Hazardous Material,” as that term is defined in Article 28 of this Lease, which was in existence on the Project prior to the Commencement Date, and was of such a nature that a federal, state or municipal governmental authority, if it had then had knowledge of the presence of such Hazardous Material, in the state, and under the conditions that it then existed on the Project, would have then required the removal of such Hazardous Material or other remedial or containment action with respect thereto, and (ii) remove, remedy, contain, or treat any Hazardous Material, which Hazardous Material is brought onto the Project after the date hereof by Landlord or any other tenant of the Project and is of such a nature, at that time, that a federal, state or municipal governmental authority, if it had then had knowledge of the presence of such Hazardous Material, in the state, and under the conditions, that it then exists on the Project, would have then required the removal of such Hazardous Material or other remedial or containment action with respect thereto; (24) costs incurred due to violation by Landlord or any tenant of the terms and conditions of any lease; (25) any overhead and/or profit increment paid to Landlord or to subsidiaries of affiliates of Landlord for services or materials in the Project to the extent the same exceeds the amount which would generally be expected to be the cost of such services or materials rendered or provided by comparably qualified unaffiliated third parties; (26) any reserves for equipment or capital replacement; and (27) Landlord’s costs of any services sold or provided to tenants or other occupants to the extent Landlord is entitled to be

reimbursed by such tenants or other occupants as an additional charge or rental (other than pursuant to a comparable Direct Cost provision under the lease or other agreement with such tenant or other occupant).

(d) Determination of Payment

(i) If for any calendar year ending or commencing within the Term, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for such calendar year exceeds Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Sections 3(d)(ii) and (iii), below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the “Excess”).

(iii) Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Costs for the then-current calendar year shall be and the estimated Excess (the “Estimated Excess”) as calculated by comparing Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for such calendar year which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for the Base Year. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Estimate Statement on or before June 30 of each year after the Base Year; however, the failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any calendar year shall not preclude Landlord from subsequently enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Excess under this Article 3, once such Estimated Excess has been determined by Landlord. If pursuant to the Estimated Statement an Estimated Excess is calculated for the then-current calendar year, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Monthly Basic Rental due, a fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current calendar year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 3(d)(ii)). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current calendar year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the Monthly Basic Rental installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by the Landlord to Tenant.

(iii) In addition, Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of each calendar year, a statement (the “Statement”) which shall state the Direct Costs incurred or accrued for such preceding calendar year, and which shall indicate the amount, if any, of the Excess. Upon receipt of the Statement for each calendar year during the Term, if amounts paid by Tenant as Estimated Excess are less than the actual Excess as specified on the Statement, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of monthly Basic Rental due, the full amount of the Excess for such calendar year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such calendar year as Estimated Excess. If, however, the Statement indicates that amounts paid by Tenant as Estimated Excess are greater than the actual Excess as specified on the Statement, such overpayment shall be credited against Tenant’s next installments of Estimated Excess. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Statement on or before June 30 of each year after the Base Year and shall in any event provide the Statement on or before December 31 of each year after the Base Year; however, the failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any calendar year shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights under this Article 3 for a period of two (2) years after the expiration of the calendar year for which the Statement applies, except where the failure to timely furnish the Statement as to any particular item includable in the Statement is beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (e.g. tax assessments that are late in arriving from the assessor), in which case such two (2) year limit shall not be applicable. Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Direct Costs for the calendar year in which this Lease terminates, if an Excess is present, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord an amount as calculated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(d). The provisions of this Section 3(d)(iii) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

(iv) If the Project is a part of a multi-building development, those Direct Costs attributable to such development as a whole (and not attributable solely to any individual building therein) shall be allocated by Landlord to the Project and to the other buildings within such development on an equitable basis.

(e) Audit Right. Within one hundred twenty (123) days after receipt of a Statement by Tenant (“Review Period”), if Tenant disputes the amount set forth in the Statement, Tenant’s employees or an independent certified public accountant (which accountant is a member of a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm and is not retained on a contingency fee basis), designated by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, inspect Landlord’s records at Landlord’s offices, provided that Tenant is not then in default after expiration of all applicable cure periods (although Tenant shall be entitled to make payments “under protest” thereby preserving Tenant’s right to contest such payments) and provided further that Tenant and such accountant or representative shall, and each of the shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective agents and employees to, maintain all information contained in Landlord’s records in strict confidence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall only have the right to review Landlord’ records one (1) time during any twelve (12) month period. Tenant’s failure to dispute the amounts set forth in any Statement within the Review Period shall be deemed to be Tenant’s approval of such Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such Statement. If after such inspection, nut within thirty (30) days after the Review Period, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing that Tenant still disputes such amounts, a certification as to the proper amount shall be made in accordance with Landlord’s standard accounting practices, at Tenant’s expense, by an independent certified public accountant selected by Landlord and who is a member of a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm. Landlord shall cooperate in good faith with Tenant and the accountant to show Tenant and the accountant the information upon which the certification is to be based. However, if such certification by the accountant proves that the Direct Costs set forth in the Statement were overstated by more than ten percent (10%), then the cost of the accountant and the cost of such certification shall be paid by the Landlord. Promptly following the parties receipt of such certification, the parties shall make such appropriate payments or reimbursements, as the case may be, to each other, as are determined to be owing pursuant to such certification.

ARTICLE 4

SECURITY DEPOSIT

Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum set forth in Article 1.F. of the Basic Lease Provisions as security for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. If Tenant breaches any provision of this Lease, including but not limited to the payment of rent, Landlord may use all or any part of this security deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sums in default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefore, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its full amount. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be required to keep the security deposit in trust, segregate it or keep it separate from Landlord’s general funds, but Landlord may commingle the security deposit with its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit. At the expiration of the Term, or earlier termination of this Lease (including any termination under Article 33 below), and provided there exists no default by Tenant hereunder, the security deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to Tenant’s “Transferee”, as such term is defined in Article 15 below), provided that subsequent to the expiration of this Lease, Landlord may retain from said security deposit (i) an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord to cover potential Direct Cost reconciliation payments due with respect to the calendar year in which this Lease terminates or expires (such amount so retained shall not, in any event, exceed ten percent (10%) of estimated Direct Cost payments due from Tenant for amounts so retained and not applied to such reconciliation shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery of the Statement for such calendar year),(ii) any and all amounts reasonably estimated by Landlord to cover the anticipated costs to be incurred by Landlord to remove any signage provided to Tenant under this Lease, to remove cabling and other items required to be removed by Tenant under Section 29(b) below and to repair any damage caused by such removal (in which case any excess amount so retained by Landlord shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such removal and repair), and (iii) any and all amounts permitted by law or this Article 4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 4, in the event that the Tenant, at the expiration of the twelfth (12^th) and thirteenth (13^th) full calendar months of the Lease Term is not in default of any of its obligations under this Lease after expiration of applicable cure periods, Landlord shall reduce the amount of the Security Deposit by the amount of the monthly Basic Rental due and payable to Landlord for

such months and Landlord shall apply such amounts against Tenant’s monthly Basic Rental obligations for such months. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect, which provide that Landlord may claim form a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Article 4 above, all of Landlord’s damages under this Lease and California law including, but not limited to any damages accruing upon termination of this Lease in accordance with this Lease and Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent, contractor or invite of Tenant.

ARTICLE 5

HOLDING OVER

satisfaction of Landlord; provided, however, that for damage to the Project as a result of casualty or for any repairs that may impact the mechanical, electrical plumbing, heating, ventilation or air-conditioning systems of the Project, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to select the contractor and oversee all such repairs. Landlord may make any repairs which are not promptly made by Tenant after Tenant’s receipt of written notice and the reasonably opportunity of Tenant to make said repair within five (5) business days from receipt of said written notice, and charge Tenant for the cost thereof, which cost shall be paid by Tenant within five (5) days from invoice from Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible for the design and function of all non-standard improvements of the Premises, whether or not installed by Landlord at Tenant’s request.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant may make strictly cosmetic changes to the finish work in the Premises (the “Cosmetic Alterations”), without Landlord’s consent, provided that the aggregate cost of any such alterations does not exceed $25,000.00 in any twelve (12) month period, and further provided that such alterations do not (i) require any structural or other substantial modification to the Premises, (ii) require any changes to, nor adversely affect, the systems and equipment of the Project, or (iii) affect the exterior appearance of the Project. If the contractor(s) for any such Cosmetic Alterations could potentially place a lien on the Project, Tenant shall give Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior notice of such Cosmetic Alterations, which notice shall be accompanied by reasonably adequate evidence that such changes meet the criteria contained in this Section 9(c). Any alterations approved by Landlord must be performed in accordance with the terms hereof, using only contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord in writing and upon the approval by Landlord in writing of fully detailed and dimensioned plans and specifications pertaining to the Alterations in questions, to be prepared and submitted by Tenant at its sole cost and expense.

(e) Cost and Fees; Removal. IF permitted Alterations are made, they shall be made at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and shall be and become the property of Landlord, except that Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given at the time of Tenant’s request for consent to such Alteration (provided Tenant requests that Landlord make such determination at the time of Tenant’s request for consent), require Tenant at Tenant’s expense to remove all partitions, counters, railings, cabling and other Alterations installed by Tenant, and to repair any damage to the Premises and the Project caused by such removal. Any and all costs attributable to or related to the applicable building codes of the city in which the Project is located (or any other authority having jurisdiction over the Project) arising from Tenant’s plans, specifications, improvements, Alterations or otherwise shall be paid by Tenant at its sole cost and expense. With regard to repairs, Alterations or any other work arising from or related to this Article 9, Landlord shall be entitled to receive an administrative/coordination fee (which fee shall vary depending upon whether or not Tenant orders the work directly from Landlord) sufficient to compensate the Landlord’s involvement with such work.

Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not take out and maintain such insurance or furnish Landlord with renewals or binders in a timely manner, upon notice to Tenant and the expiration of a three (3) business day cure period, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure said insurance on Tenant’s behalf and charge Tenant the cost thereof, which amount shall be payable by Tenant upon demand with interest (at the rate set for the in Section 20(e) below) from the date such sums are expended. Tenant shall have the right to provide such insurance coverage pursuant to blanket policies obtained by Tenant, provided such blanked policies expressly afford coverage to the Premises and to Tenant as required by this Lease.

(c) Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord may, as a cost to be included in Operating Costs, procure and maintain at all times during the Term of this Lease, a policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Project in the amount of the full replacement costs without deduction for depreciation thereof, providing protection against all perils included within the classification of fire and extended coverage, vandalism coverage and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage, water damage, and special extended coverage on the building. Additionally, Landlord may carry; (i) Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability Insurance and/or Excess Liability Coverage Insurance; and (ii) Earthquake and/or Flood Damage Insurance; and (iii) Rental Income Insurance’ and (iv) any other forms of insurance Landlord may deem appropriate or any lender may require. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall either carry, or shall be deemed to have elected to self-insure, the Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability Insurance coverage described in subsection (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, and if Landlord elects to self-insure any or all of such coverage, Tenant shall be deemed to be in the same position it would have been in had Landlord actually purchased such insurance from a third party carrier. The costs of all insurance carried by Landlord shall be included in Operating Costs.

(d) Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each agree to require their respective insurers issuing the insurance descried in Sections 14(a)(ii), 14(a)(iv) and the first sentence of Section 14(c), waive any rights to subrogation that such companies may have against the other party. Tenant hereby waives any right that Tenant may have against Landlord and Landlord hereby waives any right that Landlord may have against Tenant as a result of any loss or damage to the extent such loss or damage is insurable under such policies.

(e) Compliance with Law. Tenant agrees that it will not, at any time, during the Term of this Lease, carry any stock of goods or do anything in or about the Premises that will in any way tend to increase the insurance rates upon the Project. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord forthwith upon demand the amount of any increase in premiums for insurance that may be carried during the Term of this Lease, or the amount of insurance to be carried by Landlord on the Project resulting from the foregoing, or from Tenant doing any act in or about the Premises that does so increase the insurance rates, whether or not Landlord shall have consented to such act on the part of Tenant. If Tenant installs upon the Premises any electrical equipment which causes an overload of electrical lines of the Premises, Tenant shall at its own cost and expense, in accordance with all other Lease provisions (specifically including, but not limited to, the

provisions of Article 9, 10 and 11 hereof), make whatever changes are necessary to comply with requirements of the insurance underwriters and any governmental authority having jurisdiction overloading. Tenant shall, at its own expense, comply with all insurance requirements applicable to the Premises including, without limitation, the installation of fire extinguishers or any automatic dry chemical extinguishing system.

ARTICLE 15

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

Tenant shall have no power to, either voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, sell, assign, transfer or hypothecate this Lease, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied by anyone other than Tenant or Tenant’s employees without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Tenant is a corporation, unincorporated association, partnership or limited liability company, the sale, assignment, transfer or hypothecation of any class of stock or other ownership interest in such corporation, association, partnership or limited liability company in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) in the aggregate shall be deemed a “Transfer” within the meaning and provisions of this Article 15. Tenant may transfer its interest pursuant to this Lease only upon the following express conditions, which conditions are agreed by Landlord and Tenant to be reasonable:

(a) That the proposed Transferee (as hereafter defined) shall be subject to the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld but, without limiting generality of the foregoing, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to deny such consent if:

(i) The use to be made of the Premises by the proposed Transferee is (a) not generally consistent with the character and nature of all other tenancies in the Project, or (b) a use which conflicts with any so-called “exclusive” then in favor of, or for any use which might reasonably be expected to diminish the rent payable pursuant to any percentage rent lease with other tenant of the Project of any other buildings which are in the same complex as the Project, or (c) a use which would be prohibited by any other portion of this Lease (including but not limited to any Rules and Regulations then in effect);

(ii) The financial responsibility of the proposed Transferee is not reasonably satisfactory to Landlord or in any event not at least equal to those which were possessed by Tenant as of the date of execution of this Lease;

(iii) The proposed Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof; or

(iv) Either the proposed Transferee or any person or entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the proposed Transferee (A) occupies space in the Project at the time of the request for consent, or (B) is negotiating with Landlord or has negotiated with Landlord during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the date of the proposed Transfer, to lease space in the Project.

(b) Upon Tenant’s submission of a request for Landlord’s consent to any such Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord’s then standard processing fee and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the proposed Transfer, which the parties hereby stipulate to be $1,000.00, unless Landlord provides to Tenant evidence that Landlord has incurred greater costs in connection with the proposed Transfer;

(c) That the proposed Transferee shall execute and agreement pursuant to which it shall agree to perform faithfully and be bound by all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease applicable to that portion of the Premises so transferred; and

(d) That an executed duplicate original of said assignment and assumption agreement or other transfer on a form reasonably approved by Landlord shall be delivered to Landlord within five (5) days after the execution therof, and that such transfer shall not be binding upon Landlord until the deliver thereof to Landlord and the execution and delivery of Landlord’s consent thereto. It shall be a condition to Landlord’s consent to any subleasing, assignment or

other transfer of part or all of Tenant’s interest in the Premises (“Transfer”) that (i) upon Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall pay and continue to pay fifty percent (50%) of any “Transfer Premium” (defined below), received by Tenant from the transferee; (ii) any sublessee of part of all of Tenant’s interest in the Premises shall agree that in the event Landlord gives such sublessee notice that Tenant is in default under this Lease, such sublessee shall thereafter make all sublease or other payments directly to Landlord, which will be received by Landlord without any liability whether to honor the sublease or otherwise (Except to credit such payments against sums due under this Lease), and any sublessee shall agree to attorn to Landlord or its successors and assigns at their requires should this Lease be terminated for any reason, except that in no event shall Landlord or its successors or assigns be obligated to accept such attornment; (iii) any such Transfer and consent shall be effected on forms supplied by Landlord and/or its legal counsel; (iv) Landlord may require that Tenant not then be in default hereunder in any respect; and (v) Tenant or the proposed subtenant or assignee (collectively, “Transferee”) shall agree to pay Landlord, upon demand, as Additional Rent, a sum equal to the additional costs, if any, incurred by Landlord for maintenance and repair as a result of any change in the nature of occupancy caused by such subletting or assignment. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, Additional Rent or other consideration payable by Transferee in connection with a Transfer in excess of the Basic Rental and Direct Costs payable by Tenant under this Lease during the term of the Transfer and if such Transfer is for less than all of the Premises, the Transfer Premium shall be calculated on a rentable square foot basis. “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money, bonus money or other cash consideration paid by a Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to the Transferee and any payment in excess of fair market value for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to the Transferee in connection with such Transfer. Any Transfer of this Lease which is not in compliance with the provisions of this Article 15 shall be voidable by written notice from Landlord and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate this Lease. In no event shall the consent by Landlord to any Transfer be construed as relieving Tenant or any Transferee from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any further Transfer, or as releasing Tenant from any liability or obligation hereunder whether or not then accrued and Tenant shall continue to be fully liable therefor. No collection or acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person other than Tenant shall be deemed a waiver of any provision of this Article 15 or the acceptance of any Transferee hereunder, or a release or Tenant (or of any Transferee of Tenant). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under this Article 15 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 15, their sole remedies shall be a declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought without any monetary damages, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 15, if Tenant contemplates a Transfer, then Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the “Intention to Transfer Notice”) of such contemplated Transfer (whether or not the contemplated Transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have been determined). The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of and number of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to Transfer (the “Contemplated Transfer Space”) and the contemplated date of commencement of the contemplated Transfer (“Contemplated Effective Date”). Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Intention to Transfer Notice, to terminate this Lease as to the Contemplated Transfer Space effective as of the Contemplate Effective Date. If this Lease shall be so terminated with respect to less than the entire Premises, the monthly Basic Rental reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the entire Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner to terminate this Lease as to the Contemplated Transfer Space under this Article 15 within such ten (10) business day period, then provided Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitle to proceed to transfer the Contemplated Transfer Space to a proposed Transferee and Landlord shall not have any right to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer thereof consummated within a period of six (6) months (the “Six Month Period”) commencing on the expiration of such ten (10)

business day period; provided, however that any such Transfer shall be subject to other terms of this Article 15. If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the Six Month Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any Transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such Six Month Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect to any contemplated Transfer, as provided in this Article 15.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 15, an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate (“Affiliate”) of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant), shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Article 15, provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such affiliate, and further provided that such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease. An assignee of Tenant’s entire interest in this Lease pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence may be referred to herein as an “Affiliated Assignee.” “Control,” as used in this Article 15, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interest in, an entity.

ARTICLE 16

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

If the Project is damaged by fire or other insured casualty and the insurance proceeds have been made available therefor by the holder or holders of any mortgages or deeds of trust covering the Premises or the Project, the damage shall be repaired by Landlord to the extent such insurance proceeds are available therefor and provided such repairs can, in Landlord’s sole opinion, be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the necessity for repairs as a result of such damage becomes known to Landlord, without the payment of overtime or other premiums, and until such repairs are completed rent shall be abated in proportion to the part of the Premises which is unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business (but there shall be no abatement of rent by reason of any portion of the Premises or Project parking facility being unusable for a period equal to one (1) day or less). Furthermore, if the Project parking facility is damaged by fire or other casualty and if Landlord is unable to make arrangements for substitute parking for Tenant’s employees and to the extent, as a result, Tenant does not utilize all or a portion of the Premises which is not so used by Tenant’s business, Tenant’s rent shall be abated in proportion to the part of the Premises which is not so used by Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors, guests, invitees and the like, there shall be no abatement of rent, unless and to the extent Landlord receives rental income insurance proceeds. Within sixty (60) days after the date Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as a result of damage, Landlord shall notify Tenant (“Damage Repairs Estimate”) of Landlord’s estimated assessment of the period of time in which the repairs will be completed. Upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Section 14(a)(ii)(A) above; provided, however, that if the costs of repair of improvements within the Premises by Landlord exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, as so assigned by Tenant, such excess costs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s repair of such damage. If repairs cannot, in Landlord’s opinion, be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the after the necessity for repairs as a result of such damage becomes known to Landlord without the payment of overtime or other premiums, Landlord may, at is option, either (i) make such repairs in a reasonable time and in such event this Lease shall continue in effect and the rent shall be abated, if at all, in the manner provided in this Article 16, or (ii) elect not to effect such repairs and instead terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as a result of damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant sixty (60) days to vacate the Premises. In addition, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease if the Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause, whether or not the Premises are affected, if the damage is not fully covered, except for deductible amounts, by Landlord’s insurance policies. However, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Landlord’s termination rights as provided above, and if the Damage Repair Estimate indicates that repairs cannot be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after being commenced and if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors, Tenant may elect,

not later than thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Damage Repair Estimate, to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of the date specified in Tenant’s notice. Finally, if the Premises or the Project is damaged to any substantial extent during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 16 to the contrary, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of the exercise of such option within sixty (60) days after Landlord learns of the necessity for repairs as the result of such damage. A total destruction of the Project shall automatically terminate this Lease. Except as provided in this Article 16, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business or property arising from such damage or destruction or the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Project of the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Tenant understands that Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, trade fixtures or equipment, and that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant shall have no right to any proceeds of insurance carried by Landlord relating to property damage. With respect to any damage which Landlord is obligated to repair or elects to repair, Tenant, as a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease, irrevocably waives and releases its rights under the provisions of Sections 1932 and 1933 of the California Civil Code.

ARTICLE 17

SUBORDINATION

This Lease is subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases, mortgages and deeds of trust which affect the property or the Project, including all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, however, if the lessor under any such lease or the holder or holders of any such mortgage or deed of trust shall advise Landlord that they desire or require this Lease to be prior and superior thereto, upon written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant agrees to promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents or instruments which Landlord or such lessor, holder or holders deem necessary or desirable for purposes thereof. Landlord shall have the right to cause this Lease to be and become and remain subject and subordinate to any and all ground or underlying leases, mortgages or deeds of trust which may hereafter be executed covering the Premises, the Project or the property or any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, for the full amount of all advances made or to be made thereunder and without regard to the time or character of such advances, together with interest thereon and subject to all the terms and provisions thereof; provided, however, that condition precedent to such subordination shall be that Landlord obtains from the lender or other party in question a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement in favor of Tenant. Subject to the foregoing, Tenant agrees, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written request therefor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver upon request any and all documents or instruments requested by Landlord or necessary or proper to assure the subordination of this Lease to any such mortgages, deed of trust, or leasehold estates. Tenant agrees that in the event of any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any mortgage or deed of trust in lieu thereof, to attorn to the purchaser or any successors thereto upon any such foreclosure sale or deed in lieu thereof as so requested to do so by such purchaser and to recognize such purchaser as the lessor under this Lease; Tenant shall, within five (5) days after request execute such further instruments or assurances as such purchaser may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm such attornment. Tenant agrees to provide copies of any notices of Landlord’s default under this Lease to any mortgagee or deed of trust beneficiary whose address has been provided to Tenant and Tenant shall provide such mortgagee or deed of trust beneficiary a commercially reasonable time after receipt of such notice within which to cure any such default. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.

ARTICLE 18

EMINENT DOMAIN

If the whole of the Premises or the Project or so much of the Premises or Project parking facility as to render the Premises (or the balance thereof) unusable by Tenant shall be taken under power of eminent domain, or is sold, transferred or conveyed in lieu thereof, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of such condemnation, or as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority, at Landlord’s option. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to the same or any part thereof; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require Tenant to assign to Landlord any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property and trade fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant at the expiration of the Term hereof as provided hereunder or for the interruption of, or damage to, Tenant’s business. In the event of a partial taking described in this Article 18, or a sale, transfer or conveyance in lieu thereof, which does not result in a termination or this Lease, the rent shall be apportioned according to the ration that the part of the Premises remaining useable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

ARTICLE 19

DEFAULT

Each of the following acts or omissions of Tenant or of any guarantor of Tenant’s performance hereunder, or occurrences, shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

(a) Failure or refusal to pay Basic Rental, Additional Rent or any other amount to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder within three (3) calendar days after notice that the same is due or payable hereunder; said three (3) day period shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, the notice requirements of Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar or successor law;

(b) Except as set forth in items (a) above and (c) through and including (f) below, failure to perform or observe any other covenant or condition of this Lease to be performed or observed within thirty (30) days following written notice to Tenant of such failure; provided, however, if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot be reasonably cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure said default. Such thirty (30) day notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any required under Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar or successor law;

(d) The filing by Tenant or any guarantor hereunder in any court pursuant to any statute of a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or arrangement for the appointment of a receiver of all or a portion of Tenant’s property; the filing against Tenant or any guarantor hereunder of any such petition, or the commencement or a proceeding for the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator for Tenant, or for any guarantor hereunder, or of any of the property of either, or a proceeding by any governmental authority for the dissolution or liquidation of Tenant or any guarantor hereunder, if such proceeding shall not be dismissed or trusteeship discontinued within thirty (30) days after commencement of such proceeding or the appointment of such trustee or receiver; or the making by Tenant or any guarantor hereunder of an assignment for the benefit of creditors. Tenant hereby stipulates to the lifting of the automatic stay in effect and relief from such stay for Landlord in the event Tenant files a petition under the United States Bankruptcy laws, for the purpose of Landlord pursuing its rights and remedies against Tenant and/or a guarantor of this Lease;

(e) Tenant’s failure to cause to be released any mechanics liens filed against the Premises or the Project within twenty (20) days after the date the same shall have been filed or recorded; or

(f) Tenant’s failure to observe or perform according to the provisions of Articles 7, 14, 17 or 25 within seven (7) business days after notice from Landlord.

All defaults by Tenant of any covenant or condition of this Lease shall be deemed by the parties hereto to be material.

ARTICLE 20

REMEDIES

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease as provided in Article 19 hereof, Landlord may exercise all of its remedies as may be permitted by law, including but not limited to the remedy provided by Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code, and including without limitation, terminating this Lease, reentering the Premises and removing all persons and property therefrom, which property may be stored by Landlord at a warehouse or elsewhere at the risk, expense and for the account of Tenant. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant the aggregate of all amounts permitted by law, including but not limited to (i) the worth at the time of award of the amount of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and (v) at Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as many be permitted for time to time by applicable law. The term “rent” as used in this Section 20(a) shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in items (i) and (ii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate set forth in item (e), below, but in no other case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law. As used in item (iii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

(b) Nothing in this Article 20 shall be deemed to affect Landlord’s right to indemnification for liability or liabilities arising prior to the termination of this Lease for personal injuries or property damage under the indemnification clause or clauses contained in this Lease.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Landlord’s re-entry to perform acts of maintenance or preservation of or in connection with efforts to relet the Premises or any portion thereof, or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises or any portion thereof and, until Landlord does elect to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Landlord may enforce all of Landlords’ rights and remedies hereunder including, without limitation, the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment an recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due.

(d) All rights, powers and remedies of Landlord hereunder and under any other agreement now or hereafter in force between Landlord and Tenant shall be cumulative and not alternative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies give to Landlord by law, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not impair Landlord’s right to exercise any other right or remedy.

(e) Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the lower of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum lawful rate of interest from the due date until paid, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, gut the payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. In addition to such interest: (i) if Basic Rental is not paid on or before the fifth (5^th) day of the calendar month for which the same is due, a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount overdue or $100, whichever is greater shall be immediately due and owing and shall accrue for each calendar month or part thereof until such rental, including the late charge, is paid in full, which late charge Tenant hereby agrees is a reasonable estimate of the damages Landlord shall suffer as a result of Tenant’s late payment and (ii) an addition charge of $25 shall be assessed for any check give to Landlord by or on behalf of Tenant which is not honored by the drawee thereof; which damages include Landlord’s additional administrative and other costs associated with such late payment and unsatisfied checks and the parties agree that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix Landlord’s actual damage in such event. Such charges for interest and late payments and unsatisfied checks are separate and cumulative and are in addition to and shall not diminish or represent a substitute for any or all of Landlord’s rights or remedies under any other provision of this Lease.

ARTICLE 21

TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST

In the event of any transfer or termination of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or the Project by sale, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise whether voluntary or involuntary, Landlord shall be automatically relieved of any and all obligations and liabilities on the part of Landlord from and after the date of such transfer or termination to the extend such obligations are assumed by the transferee by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation, the obligation of Landlord under Article 4 and California Civil Code 1950.7 above to return the security deposit, provided said security deposit is transferred to said transferee. Tenant agrees to attorn to the transferee upon any such transfer and to recognize such transferee as the lessor under this Lease and Tenant shall, within five (5) days after request, execute such further instruments or assurances as such transferee may reasonably deem necessary to evidence or confirm such attornment.

ARTICLE 22

Each party does hereby indemnify and agree to hold the other and their agents, members, partners, representatives, officers, affiliates, shareholders, employees, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all loss, liability and expenses that may be incurred should such warranty and representation prove incorrect, inaccurate or false.

ARTICLE 23

PARKING

Tenant shall rent from Landlord, commencing on the Commencement Date, the number of parking passes set forth in Article 1.I of the Basic Lease Provisions, which parking passes shall pertain to the Project parking facility. Tenant may elect to have up to five (5) of such parking passes designated for Tenant’s use as reserved parking at locations mutually agreed upon in good faith by Landlord and Tenant and the remainder of such parking passes shall be for unreserved parking. Unreserved parking shall be free of charge throughout the initial Lease Term and for Tenant’s reserved parking, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the prevailing rate charged from time to time at the location of such parking passes for reserved parking, which rate is currently $100.00 per reserved parking pass per month. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for the full amount of any taxes imposed by any governmental authority in connection with the

renting of such parking passes by Tenant or the use of the parking facility by Tenant. Tenant’s continued right to use the parking passes is conditioned upon Tenant abiding by all rules and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the parking facility where the parking passes are located, including any sticker or other identification system established by Landlord, Tenant’s cooperation in seeing that Tenant’s employees and visitors also comply with such rules and regulations, and Tenant not being in default under this Lease. Provided that Tenant continues to have the parking to which it is entitled under this Lease, Landlord specifically reserves the right to change the size, configuration, design, layout and all other aspects of the Project parking facility at any time and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of rent under this Lease, from time to time, close-off or restrict access to the Project parking facility for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or improvements. Landlord may, from time to time, relocate any reserved parking spaces (if any) rented by Tenant to another location in the Project parking facility. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator or a lessee of the parking facility in which case such parking operator or lessee shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to the Landlord. The parking passes rented by Tenant pursuant to this Article 23 are provided to Tenant solely for use by Tenant’s own personnel and such passes may not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant without Landlord’s prior approval. Tenant may validate visitor parking by such method or methods as the Landlord may establish, at the validation rate from time to time generally applicable to visitor parking.

ARTICLE 24

WAIVER

No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision here or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or any other provision. No provision of this Lease may be waived by Landlord, except by an instrument in writing executed by Landlord. Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act of Tenant, whether or not similar to the act so consented to or approved. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term of this Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any Term, convenient or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. Any payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of an amount less than the total amount then due hereunder shall be deemed to be in partial payment only thereof and not a waiver of the balance due or an accord and satisfaction, notwithstanding any statement or endorsement to the contrary on any check or any other instrument delivered concurrently therewith or in reference thereto. Accordingly, Landlord may accept any such amount and negotiate any such check without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover all balances due and owing and to pursue its other rights against Tenant under this Lease, regardless of whether Landlord makes any notation on such instrument of payment or otherwise notifies Tenant that such acceptance or negotiation is without prejudice to Landlord’s rights.

The right contained in this Article 31 shall be personal to the Original Tenant or an Affiliated Assignee and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or an Affiliated Assignee (and not any other transferee) if the Original Tenant or Affiliated Assignee occupies the entire Premises as of the date of Tenant’s Acceptance (as defined in Section 31(c) below).

(b) Option Rent. The rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (“Option Rent”) shall be equal to the “Market Rent” (defined below). “Market Rent” shall mean the applicable Monthly Basic Rental, including all escalations, Direct Costs, additional rent and other charges at which tenants, as of the time of Landlord’s “Option Rent Notice” (as defined below), are entering into leases for non-sublease, non-encumbered, space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises in renewal transactions for a term comparable to the Option Term, which comparable space is located in office buildings comparable to the Project in the immediate vicinity of the Project, in San Diego, California, taking into consideration the value of the existing improvements in the Premises to Tenant, as compared to the value of the existing improvements in such comparable space, with such value to be based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same could be utilized by Tenant with consideration given to the fact that the improvements existing in the Premises are specifically suitable to Tenant.

(c) Exercise of Option. The Option shall be exercised by Tenant only in the following manner: (i) Tenant shall not be in default on the delivery date of the Interest Notice and Tenant’s Acceptance; (ii) Tenant shall deliver written notice (“Interest Notice”) to Landlord not more than twelve (12) months nor less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Term, stating that Tenant is interested in exercising the Option, (iii) within fifteen (15) business days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice, Landlord shall deliver notice (“Option Rent Notice”) to Tenant setting forth the Option Rent; and (iv) if Tenant desires to exercise such Option, Tenant shall provide Landlord written notice within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Option Rent Notice (“Tenant’s Acceptance”). Tenant’s failure to deliver the Interest Notice or Tenant’s Acceptance on or before the dates specified above shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s election not to exercise the Option. If Tenant timely and properly exercises its Option, the Term shall be extended for the Option Term upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except that the rent for the Option Term shall be as indicated in the Option Rent Notice.

SECTION 5

COMPLETION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS

5.1 Substantial Completion. For purposes of this Lease, “Substantial Completion” of the improvements in the Premises shall occur upon the completion of construction of the Improvements in the Premises pursuant to the Approved Working Drawings, with the exception of any punch list items and any tenant fixtures, work-stations, built-in furniture, or equipment to be installed by Tenant.

5.2 Delay of the Substantial Completion of the Premises. Except as provided in this Section 5.2, the Commencement Date shall occur as set forth in the Lease. If there shall be a delay or there are delays in the Substantial Completion of the Improvements in the Premises as a result of the following (collectively, “Tenant Delays”):

5.2.1 Tenant’s failure to timely approve any matter requiring Tenant’s approval;

5.2.2 A breach by Tenant of the terms of this Tenant Work Letter or the Least;

5.2.3 Tenant’s request for changes in the Plans, Working Drawings or Approved Working Drawings;

5.2.4 Changes in any of the Plans, Working Drawings or Approved Working Drawings because the same do not comply with applicable laws;

5.3 Outside Date. In the event that the Substantial Completion of the Improvements in the Premises has not occurred by the “Outside Date,” which shall be January 15, 2006, as such January 15, 2006 date may be extended by the number of days of Tenant Delays and by the number of days of “Force Majeure Delays” (as defined below), then the sole remedy of Tenant shall be the right to deliver a notice to Landlord (the “Outside Date Termination Notice”) electing to terminate this Lease effective upon receipt of the Outside Date Termination Notice by Landlord (the “Effective Date”). Except as provided hereinbelow, the Outside Date Termination notice must be delivered by Tenant to Landlord, if at all, not earlier than the Outside Date and not later than five (5) business days after the Outside Date. If Tenant delivers the Outside Date Termination Notice to Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right to suspend the Effective Date for a period ending thirty (30) days after the original Effective Date. In order to suspend the

Effective Date, Landlord must deliver to Tenant, within five (5) business days after receipt of such Outside Date Termination Notice, a certificate of the Contractor certifying that it is such Contractor’s best good faith judgment that Substantial Completion of the Improvements in the Premises will occur within thirty (30) days after the original Effective Date. If Substantial Completion of the Improvements in the Premises occurs within said thirty (3) day suspension period, then the Outside Date Termination Notice shall be of no further force and effect; if, however, Substantial Completion of the Improvements in the Premises does not occur within said thirty (3) day suspension period, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of expiration of such thirty (30) day period.

Failure of Tenant to so respond in writing within said five (5) business day period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s agreement to extend the Outside Date to that date which is set by Landlord.

C. Landlord and Tenant wish to amend the Lease on the terms and conditions set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Deferred Basic Rental. Subject to the limitations set forth below, Landlord hereby agrees to defer the payment of $13,537.95 of the Basic Rental due for the months of February through September 2009 (the “Deferral Period”), for a total deferment of Basic Rental in the amount of $108,303.60 (the “Deferred Basic Rental”).

In the event that Tenant commits a default as defined in Article 19 of the Lease, there shall be no deferment of Basic Rental due for any month from and after the date of the default, and all Basic Rental previously deferred by Landlord shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant without notice or demand. No amounts due under the Lease other than the Deferred Basic Rental shall be deferred by Landlord and all other amounts payable by Tenant under the Lease including, but not limited to, Direct Costs, shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease.

2. Termination Option. Article 33 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall be of no force or effect.

3. Conflict. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this First Amendment and the terms and conditions of the Lease, the terms and conditions of this First Amendment shall control.

Capitalized terms included in this First Amendment shall have the same meaning as capitalized terms in the Lease unless otherwise defined herein. Tenant herby acknowledges and agrees that the Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord is not currently in default under the Lease, and, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, no event has occurred which, with the gibing of notice or the passage of time, or both, would ripen into Landlord’s default under the Lease.

4. Authority. The persons executing this First Amendment on behalf of the parties hereto represent and warrant that they have the authority to execute this First Amendment on behalf of said parties and that said parties have authority to enter into this First Amendment.

5. Brokers. Tenant and Landlord each represent and warrant to the other that neither has had any dealings or entered into any agreements with any person, entity, broker or finder other than SENTRE Partners, who has exclusively represented Landlord, in connection with the negotiation of this First Amendment, and no other broker, person, or entity is entitle to any commission or finder’s fee in connection with the negotiation of this First Amendment, and Tenant and Landlord each agree to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claims, damages, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees or liability by reason of any dealings, actions or agreements of the indemnifying party.

6. Confidentiality. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this First Amendment are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord.

It is understood and agreed that damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the breach of this provision by Tenant, and Landlord shall also have the right to seek specific performance of this provision and to seek injunctive relief to prevent its breach or continued breach.

7. Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed in counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed an original, and all counterparts shall be deemed the same instrument with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same signature page.

Preparation of this First Amendment by Landlord or Landlord’s agent and submission of same to Tenant shall not be deemed an offer by Landlord to enter into this First Amendment. This First Amendment shall become binding upon Landlord only when fully executed by all parties and when Landlord has delivered a fully executed original of this First Amendment to Tenant. The delivery of this First Amendment to Tenant shall not constitute an agreement by Landlord to negotiate in good faith, and Landlord expressly disclaims any legal obligation to negotiate in good faith.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE

This Second Amendment to Lease (the “Second Amendment”) is entered into as of this 18^st day of September, 2009 by and between The Realty Associates Fund VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), and Mitek Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), with reference to the following recitals.

R E C I T A L S:

A. On or about September 13, 2005, Arden Realty Finance V, L.L.C. (“Arden”) and Tenant entered into a Standard Office Lease (the “Lease”) for that certain premises commonly known as Suite B (the “Premises”), ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Building”). Landlord purchased the Building from Arden and is now the landlord under the lease. On or about February 1, 2009, Landlord and Tenant entered into a First Amendment to Lease (the “First Amendment”). The Original Lease as modified by the First Amendment is hereinafter referred to as the “Lease”. The term of the Lease expires on December 31, 2012.

B. Tenant now desires to reduce the size of the Premises by returning to Landlord the portion of the Premises which is depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Relinquished Space”). The Relinquished Space contains approximately 1,722 rentable square feet.

C. Landlord is willing to reduce the size of the Premises by the Relinquished Space provided that ▇▇▇▇ in the Box, Inc. (“▇▇▇▇ in the Box”), an adjacent tenant, agrees to amend its lease (the “▇▇▇▇ in the Box Lease”) to lease the Relinquished Space.

D. Landlord and Tenant wish to amend the Lease on the terms and conditions set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Amendment of ▇▇▇▇ in the Box Lease. Landlord’s obligations under this Second Amendment are contingent and conditioned upon ▇▇▇▇ in the Box agreeing to amend the ▇▇▇▇ in the Box Lease to lease the Relinquished Space (the “▇▇▇▇ in the Box Amendment”). The terms and conditions of the ▇▇▇▇ in the Box Amendment shall be satisfactory to Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Landlord makes no representation or warranty to Tenant that an acceptable ▇▇▇▇ in the Box Amendment will be entered into by Landlord and ▇▇▇▇ in the Box. If a ▇▇▇▇ in the Box Amendment is not entered into on or before October 31, 2009, Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to elect upon written notice to Tenant to terminate this Second Amendment. If a ▇▇▇▇ in the Box Amendment has not been entered into with ▇▇▇▇ in the Box by October 31, 2009, Tenant shall thereafter have the option, in Tenant’s sole and absolute discretion, to elect upon written notice to Landlord (a “Termination Notice”) to terminate this Second Amendment; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant have the right to give a Termination Notice prior to October 31, 2009. If Landlord notifies Tenant that it has entered into a ▇▇▇▇ in the Box Amendment prior to the date Tenant gives a Termination Notice, this Second Amendment shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that Landlord or Tenant elects to terminate this Second Amendment in accordance with the forgoing requirements, for and after the date of Landlord’s or Tenant’s delivery of the Termination Notice, this Second Amendment shall terminate, Landlord and Tenant shall thereafter have no further liability to each other under this Second Amendment and the Lease shall remain in full force and effect as if this Second Amendment had never been entered into by Landlord and Tenant.

2. Return of Relinquished Space. As of the Effective Date (as defined below), Tenant hereby agrees to return to Landlord and Landlord hereby agrees to accept from Tenant the Relinquished Space. From and after the Effective Date, the total rentable area of the Premises shall be 14,205 square feet and all references in the Lease to the “Premises” shall not include the Relinquished Space, and Tenant shall no longer have the right to use of occupy the Relinquished Space. For purposes of this Second Amendment, the “Effective Date” shall mean the date that is five (5) days after Landlord provides written notice to Tenant that it desires to obtain possession of the Relinquished Space.

3. Failure to Return Relinquished Space. If Tenant fails to vacate the Relinquished Space and to deliver the Relinquished Space to Landlord in the condition required by Section 2 on the Effective Date, time being of the essence, in addition to all other rights and remedies

Landlord may have as a result of such failure, Tenant shall pay the Landlord $146.37 for each day from the Effective Date until the date that Tenant delivers the Relinquished Space to Landlord in the condition required by Section 2 (“Per Diem Rent”). The Per Diem Rent shall be paid to Landlord within ten (10) days after written demand. For example, if Tenant delivers possession of the Relinquished Space to Landlord until ten (10) days after the Effective Date, in addition to any other remedies Landlord may have under the Lease or this Second Amendment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within then (10) days after written demand Per Diem Rent in the amount of $1,463.70. Tenant hereby acknowledges that its failure to deliver the Relinquished Space to Landlord on the Effective Date will cause Landlord to incur damages including, but not limited to, lost rental income, and the exact amount of the damages Landlord will incur will be extremely difficult to ascertain. The receipt of the Per Diem Rent is not Landlord’s exclusive remedy for Tenant’s failure to deliver possession of the Relinquished Space to Landlord on the Effective Date. By way of example, and not limitation, Landlord shall also have the immediate right to commence an unlawful detainer proceeding or other legal proceeding to obtain possession of the Relinquished Space if Tenant does not deliver possession of the Relinquished Space to Landlord on the Effective Date.

4. Construction of Demising Improvements. Prior to the Effective Date, Tenant shall cause all the furniture, fixtures, files, books, equipment and other personal property of any type located in the Relinquished Space (the “Personal Property”) to be removed from the Relinquished Space, time being of the essence. At any time from and after the Effective date, Tenant hereby grants Landlord and its contractors the right to enter the Premises in order to construct the improvements that are necessary in order to separate the Relinquished Space from the remainder of the Premises (the “Improvements”). Landlord shall paint the portion of the Improvements facing the interior of the Premises with building standard paint to match the existing paint in the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s contractors will construct the Improvements while Tenant occupies the Premises and that the construction of the Improvements may interfere with Tenant’s use of portions of the Premises from time to time. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right to any abatement of rent or to recover any other damages from Landlord due to its inability to use portions of the Premises while the Improvements are being completed or due to interference with its business operations caused by such construction. Landlord and Tenant shall work together in an effort to minimize disruption to Tenant’s business operations caused by the construction of the Improvements, but Landlord shall have no obligation to pay overtime expenses or other extraordinary costs.

5. Basic Rental. Prior to the Effective Date, Tenant shall continue to pay the monthly Basic Rental required by the Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, from and after the Effective Date, Tenant shall pay the following monthly Basic Rental:


Effective Date through December 31, 2009	$	24,148.50	;
January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010	$	24,858.75	;
January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011	$	25,569.00	; and
January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012	$	26,279.25

Base Rent shall be prorated on a per diem basis for any partial month.

6. Deferred Basic Rental. Nothing contained herein shall reduce or modify Tenant’s obligation to pay the Deferred Basic Rental (as defined in the First Amendment), and Tenant shall continue to be obligated to pay the Deferred Basic Rental described in the First Amendment following the delivery of the Relinquished Space to Landlord.

7. Tenant’s Share. For periods accruing prior to Effective Date, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs shall continue to be 22.79%. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease for periods accruing from and after Effective Date, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs shall be decreased from 22.79% to 20.39%.

8. Parking. From and after Effective Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to use a total of fifty five (55) unreserved parking passes.

9. Conflict. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Second Amendment and the terms and conditions of the Lease, the terms and conditions of this Second Amendment shall control. Except as modified by this Second Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Capitalized terms included in this

Second Amendment shall have the same meaning as capitalized terms in the Lease unless otherwise defined herein. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord is not currently in default under the Lease, and, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would ripen into Landlord’s default under the Lease.

10. Authority. The persons executing this Second Amendment on behalf of the parties hereto represent and warrant that they have the authority to execute this Second Amendment on behalf of said parties and that said parties have authority to enter into this Second Amendment.

11. Brokers. Tenant and Landlord each represent and warrant to the other that neither has had any dealings or entered into any agreements with any person, entity, broker or finder other than SENTRE Partners, who has exclusively represented Landlord, in connection with the negotiation of this Second Amendment, and no other broker, person, or entity is entitled to any commission or finder’s fee in connection with the negotiation of this Second Amendment, and Tenant and Landlord each agree to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claims, damages, costs, expenses, attorney’s fees or liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings, actions or agreements of the indemnifying party.

12. Confidentiality. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Second Amendment are confidential and constitute proprietary information of Landlord. Disclosure of the terms hereof could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases with respect to the property and may impair Landlord’s relationship with other tenants of the property. Tenant agrees that it and its partners, officers, directors, employees, brokers, and attorneys, if any, shall not disclose the terms and conditions of this Second Amendment to any other person or entity without prior written consent of Landlord which may be given or withheld by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion. It is understood and agreed that damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the breach of this provision by Tenant, and Landlord shall also have the right to seek specific performance of this provision and to seek injunctive relief to prevent its breach or continued breach.

13. Counterparts. This Second Amendment may be executed in counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed an original, and all counterparts shall be deemed the same instrument with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same signature page.

14. Delivery of Amendment. Preparation of this Second Amendment by Landlord or Landlord’s agent and submission of same to Tenant shall not be deemed an offer by Landlord to enter into this Second Amendment. This Second Amendment shall become binding upon which Landlord only when fully executed by all parties and when Landlord has delivered a fully executed original of this Second Amendment to Tenant. The delivery of this Second Amendment to Tenant shall not constitute an agreement by Landlord to negotiate in good faith, and Landlord expressly disclaims any legal obligation to negotiate in good faith.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereby execute this Second Amendment as of the date first written above.

This Third Amendment to Lease (the “Third Amendment”) is entered into as of this 24^th day of February, 2012 by and between The Realty Associates Fund VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), and Mitek Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), with reference to the following recitals.

(“Arden”) and Tenant entered into a Standard Office Lease (the “Original Lease”) for that certain premises commonly known as Suite B (the “Original Premises”), ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Building”). The Original Premises contained approximately 15,927 rentable square feet. Landlord purchased the Building from Arden and is now the landlord under the Lease. On or about February 1, 2009, Landlord and Tenant entered into a First Amendment to Lease (the “First Amendment”). In or about September of 2009, Landlord and Tenant entered into a Second Amendment to Lease (the “Second Amendment”) and pursuant to the Second Amendment Tenant relinquished to Landlord 1,722 rentable square feet of the Original Premises. The Premises now contains approximately 14,205 rentable square feet (the “Existing Premises”). The Original Lease as modified by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment is hereinafter referred to as the “Lease”. The term of the Lease expires on December 31, 2012.

B. Tenant now desires to lease additional space from Landlord in the Building which is commonly known as Suite 100 and which is depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Expansion Space”). The Expansion Space contains approximately 9,807 rentable square feet.

C. Landlord and Tenant wish to amend the Lease on the terms and conditions set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Lease of Expansion Space.

(a) Effective Date. Commencing April 1, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), Landlord shall lease to Tenant and Tenant shall lease from Landlord the Expansion Space. Except as provided in (b) below, Tenant accepts the Expansion Space in its “as is” condition and Landlord shall have no obligation to improve or alter the Expansion Space.

(b) Condition of Expansion Space. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that the HVAC, plumbing, mechanical and electrical facilities and installations servicing the Expansion Space will be in good working condition on the Effective Date. In the event that it is determined that the foregoing representation and warranty is untrue, Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease if after Landlord receives written notice from Tenant describing how the representation or warranty is untrue, Landlord promptly takes the actions necessary to remedy the breach of the representation or warranty.

(c) Expansion Space Improvements. Tenant shall not alter or make improvements to the Expansion Space, and when Tenant’s lease of the Expansion Space terminates, Tenant shall deliver the Expansion Space to Landlord in the same condition it was in when it was delivered by Landlord to Tenant, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Tenant shall be liable for any damages caused by Tenant’s activities at the Expansion Space. Tenant shall coordinate such entry with Landlord’s building manager, and such entry shall be made in compliance with all terms and conditions of the Lease.

2. Term.

(a) Generally. Subject to Section 2(b) below, Tenant’s lease of the Expansion Space shall commence on April 1, 2012 and shall end on December 31, 2012. If Tenant does not vacate the Expansion Space and deliver possession of the Expansion Space to Landlord on or prior to December 31, 2012 (or, if applicable, the Termination Date (as defined below)), from and after January 1, 2013 (or the Termination Date, if applicable), Tenant shall lease the Expansion Space on a month-to-month basis terminable by Landlord or Tenant for any reason or no reason on thirty (30) days advance written notice to the other party. References in this Third Amendment to the “Expansion Space Term” shall mean the period during which Tenant leases the Expansion Space. Article 31 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and shall be of no force or effect.

(b) Early Termination. Tenant shall have the right at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice to Landlord (a “Termination Notice”) to elect to terminate its lease of the Expansion Space (the “Termination Option”). The Termination Notice shall specify the date Tenant desires to terminate its Lease of the Expansion Space (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, in no event shall the Termination Date be a date prior to September 30, 2012. If Tenant timely and properly exercises the Termination Option, (i) all Basic Rental attributable to the Expansion Space shall be paid through and apportioned as of the Termination Date; (ii) Tenant shall pay all electricity costs and janitorial costs applicable to the Expansion Space through the Termination Date, (iii) on the Termination Date, Tenant shall no longer have the right to use the Expansion Space Parking Spaces, (iv) Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Expansion Space and deliver possession thereof to Landlord on or before the Termination Date in the same condition it was in when it was delivered by Landlord to Tenant, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (v) from and after the date that Tenant delivers possession of the Expansion Space to Landlord in the condition described above, the Expansion Space shall no longer constitute a part of the “Premises” and (vi) at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall enter into a written agreement reflecting the termination of the Lease of the Expansion Space upon the terms provided for herein, which agreement shall be executed within thirty (30) days after Tenant exercises the Termination Option.

3. Basic Rental. Prior to the Effective Date, Tenant shall continue to pay the monthly Basic Rental required by the Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, from and after the Effective Date and during the Expansion Space Term, in addition to the monthly Basic Rental payable pursuant to the Lease for the Existing Premises, Tenant shall pay additional monthly Basic Rental for the Expansion Space in the amount of $10,500.00 per month.

4. Direct Costs. Tenant shall continue to pay Direct Costs with respect to the Existing Premises as required by the Lease. Tenant shall not pay any Direct Costs with respect to the Expansion Space.

5. Utilities and Janitorial. Pursuant to Article 11(a) of the Original Lease, Tenant shall be obligated to pay for all electricity used in the Expansion Space. In addition, pursuant to Article 11(a) Tenant shall retain a bonded janitorial company to perform janitorial services in the Expansion Space at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

6. Security Deposit. Pursuant to Section F of Article 1 of the Original Lease, Tenant originally provided to Landlord a security deposit in the amount of $79,635.00. Pursuant to Article 4 of the Original Lease, the security deposit was reduced to $29,464.95. Concurrently with the execution of this Second Amendment by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional security deposit in the amount of $10,500.00 (the “Additional Deposit”). After Landlord receives the Additional Deposit, Tenant’s total security deposit shall be $39,964.95.

The Expansion Space Parking Spaces are in addition to the fifty-five (55) unreserved parking spaces Tenant is entitled to use pursuant to the Lease.

8. Exclusive Negotiation Period. Landlord and Tenant are discussing the possibility of Tenant leasing additional space in the Building which is commonly known as Suite 150 and which is currently leased to ▇▇▇▇ in the Box (“Suite 150”). Landlord agrees not to enter into Active Negotiations (as defined below) with a third party for the lease of Suite 150 between the date that this Third Amendment is executed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant and March 31,

2012 (the “Exclusive Negotiation Period”). “Active Negotiations” shall mean that Landlord is providing or commenting on written letters of intent with the third party tenant. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may receive unsolicited proposals from third party tenants during the Exclusive Negotiation Period, and Landlord’s receipt of such proposals shall not be a violation of Landlord’s obligations under this Section. This Section shall not apply to Landlord’s attempts to lease Suite 150 after the last day of the Exclusive Negotiation Period, and Landlord shall have the right to enter into negotiations for the lease of Suite 150 with any person or entity after the last day of the Exclusive Negotiation Period. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Section shall be interpreted as an obligation by Landlord to lease Suite 150 to Tenant or an obligation by Tenant to lease Suite 150 from Landlord. Any agreement concerning the lease of Suite 150 shall be acceptable to Landlord and Tenant in each of their sole and absolute discretions. This Section does not constitute an agreement to negotiate, and it is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that either of them shall have the right to elect at any time for any reason or no reason not to proceed with further negotiations concerning the lease of Suite 150. The parties expressly disclaim any legal obligation to negotiate in good faith. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge and agree that they may incur substantial transaction costs (e.g., attorneys fees, lost opportunity costs etc.) (the “Costs”) if the other party terminates negotiations for the lease of Suite 150. Landlord and Tenant agree that under no circumstances will either party be liable to the other party for Costs due to that parties election to terminate the negotiations.

9. Conflict. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Third Amendment and the terms and conditions of the Lease, the terms and conditions of this Third Amendment shall control. Except as modified by this Third Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE

This Fourth Amendment to Lease (the “Fourth Amendment”) is entered into as of this 3^rd day of July, 2012 (the “Execution Date”) by and between The Realty Associates Fund VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), as successor in interest to Arden Realty Finance V, L.L.C. (“Original Landlord”), and Mitek Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), with reference to the following recitals:

R E C I T A L S

A. On or about September 13, 2005, Original Landlord and Tenant entered into a Standard Office Lease (the “Original Lease”) for that certain premises commonly known as Suite B (“Suite B”), containing approximately 15,927 rentable square feet located on the first floor of the building commonly known as ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Building”). Subsequent to the Original Lease, Landlord purchased the Building from Original Landlord, and on or about February 1, 2009, Landlord and Tenant entered into a First Amendment to Lease (the “First Amendment”) providing for a deferral of certain rent obligations of Tenant in consideration of the cancellation of Tenant’s termination option set forth in Article 33 of the Original Lease. In or about September of 2009, Landlord and Tenant entered into a Second Amendment to Lease (the “Second Amendment”), pursuant to which Tenant relinquished to Landlord approximately 1,722 rentable square feet of Suite B (the “Relinquished Space,” as more particularly described in the Second Amendment), resulting in the Suite B comprising approximately 14,205 rentable square feet. On or about February 27, 2012, Landlord and Tenant entered into a Third Amendment to Lease (the “Third Amendment”), pursuant to which Tenant leased from Landlord additional space on the first floor of the Building, comprising approximately 9,807 rentable square feet commonly known as Suite 100 (defined as the “Expansion Premises” in the Third Amendment), and resulting in the premises leased by Tenant pursuant to the Original Lease, as modified by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment (the “Lease”), consisting of Suite B and the Expansion Premises, which contain approximately 24,012 rentable square feet). The term of the Lease is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings defined for such terms in the Lease.

B. Pursuant to that certain Lease Termination Agreement and Release entered into as of June 12, 2012, by and between Landlord and ▇▇▇▇ in the Box, Inc. (“▇▇▇▇ in the Box”), Landlord and ▇▇▇▇ in the Box have agreed to terminate the ▇▇▇▇ in the Box Lease (as defined in the Second Amendment) on July 31, 2012 subject to Landlord entering into a new lease of those certain premises comprising approximately 8,318 rentable square feet adjacent to the Premises on the first floor of the Building, which are commonly known as Suite 150 (as depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein, “Suite 150”).

C. Tenant desires to (i) lease Suite 150 from Landlord following the surrender thereof by ▇▇▇▇ in the Box, (ii) surrender the Expansion Premises in accordance with the Third Amendment, and (iii) extend the term of the Lease with respect to those certain premises comprised of Suite B and Suite 150 for a Term commencing on January 1, 2013 and expiring on June 30, 2019 (the “Extended Term”).

D. As a result of Landlord’s delivery of possession of Suite 150 to Tenant, and Tenant’s agreement to lease Suite 150, and the work of modifications and improvements to be performed by Tenant pursuant to this Fourth Amendment (as more particularly described in Exhibit E attached hereto and incorporated herein, the “Tenant’s Work”), Tenant shall continue to pay Basic Rental on Suite B and Suite 100, but Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs pursuant to the Lease shall be limited to Direct Costs attributable to Suite B only, as more particularly set forth in this Fourth Amendment.

E. Landlord and Tenant wish to amend the Lease on the terms and conditions set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇.

(a) Generally. Commencing on January 1, 2013 (the “Extended Term Commencement Date”), and for the duration of the Extended Term, Landlord hereby agrees to lease to Tenant and Tenant hereby agrees to lease from Landlord, Suite B and Suite 150 (collectively, as of the Extended Term Commencement Date, the “Premises”), comprising approximately 22,523 rentable square feet as depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein; provided that for the duration of the Expansion Space Term (as defined in the Third Amendment), the Premises shall also include the Expansion Premises.

(b) Delivery of Suite 150. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Suite 150 to Tenant in vacant condition without any of ▇▇▇▇ in the Box’s personal property (the “Suite 150 Delivery Condition”) on August 1, 2012. If Landlord does not deliver Suite 150 to Tenant in the Suite 150 Delivery Condition on or before August 15, 2012, for each day from August 16, 2012 until the date that Landlord does deliver Suite 150 to Tenant in the Suite 150 Delivery Condition (the “Suite 150 Delivery Date”), Tenant shall receive a per diem credit in an amount equal to $859.64 (the “Suite 150 Credit”) to be applied against the first Basic Rental payable by Tenant under the Lease as hereby amended. For example, if Landlord offers Tenant possession of Suite 150 on August 26, 2012 in the Suite 150 Delivery Condition, Tenant shall receive a Suite 150 Credit to be applied to the first Basic Rental due under the Lease, as hereby amended, after the Suite 150 Delivery Date in the amount of $3,500.00. Tenant shall receive the Suite 150 Credit in addition to any the abatement provided in Section 4 below.

2. Term. The term of the Lease is hereby extended from the Extended Term Commencement Date though June 30, 2019 (the “Extended Term”), and June 30, 2019 is hereinafter referred to as the “Expiration Date”.

3. Basic Rental.

(a) Prior to the Extended Term Commencement Date. From March 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, Tenant shall pay $34,648.50 per month in Basic Rental for its use of portions of Suite B, Suite 150 and the Expansion Premises, which amount shall reflect $24,148.50 per month in Basic Rental currently payable for Suite B, $10,500.00 per month in Basic Rental for the Expansion Premises as provided in the Third Amendment, and no Basic Rental for Suite 150, with such amounts agreed to be the Basic Rental payable by Tenant for its use and occupancy of the Premises prior to the Extended Term Commencement Date, even though Tenant may not be able to occupy and use all of Suite B due to the construction of the Tenant’s Work therein during such period.

(b) After the Extended Term Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, from and after the Extended Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay the following monthly Basic Rental for the Premises (provided that if the Expansion Space Term expires after the Extended Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall continue to pay $10,500 per month in Basic Rental for the Expansion Premises, in addition to the Basic Rental for the remainder of the Premises set forth below, until the Expansion Premises are effectively surrendered to Landlord in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Third Amendment:


Portion of Extended Term	Basic Rental

January 1, 2013 – February 28, 2013	$	38,289.10 ($1.70/rsf	)^†

March 1, 2013 – February 28, 2014	$	39,437.77 ($1.75/rsf	)^†

March 1, 2014 – February 28, 2015	$	40,620.91 ($1.80/rsf	)

March 1, 2015 – February 29, 2016	$	41,839.53 ($1.86/rsf	)

March 1, 2016 – February 28, 2017	$	43,094.72 ($1.91/rsf	)

March 1, 2017 – February 28, 2018	$	44,387.56 ($1.97/rsf	)

March 1, 2018 – February 28, 2019	$	45,719.19 ($2.03/rsf	)

March 1, 2019 – June 30, 2019	$	47,090.76 ($2.09/rsf	)

^†	Subject to Conditional Basic Rent Abatement as provided in Section 4 below.

(c) Suite B Overpayment. From March 1, 2012 through the Execution Date (the “Overpayment Period”), Tenant has continued to make monthly Basic Rental payments in the amount of $26,279.25 per month, which exceeds the amount payable pursuant to Section 3(a) above for Suite B by $2,130.75 per month (Basic Rental paid by Tenant in excess monthly Basic Rental payable pursuant to Section 3(a) above). Consequently, as of the Execution Date, Tenant will have overpaid Basic Rental for its use of Suite B during the Overpayment Period in the total collective amount of $8,523.00 (hereinafter the “Suite B Overpayment”). Landlord shall credit the Suite B Overpayment to the Basic Rental payment due after the Execution Date.

4. Conditional Abatement of Basic Rental. Without affecting the abatement and reduction of Basic Rent prior to the Extended Term Commencement Date, Landlord hereby agrees to conditionally waive the Basic Rental payments applicable to the Premises following the Extended Term Commencement Date and otherwise due and payable pursuant to Section 3(b) above for the second (2^nd) through the seventh (7^th) full calendar months of the Extended Term (the “Conditional Basic Rent Abatement Period”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the Conditional Basic Rent Abatement Period, if the Expansion Space Term expires after the commencement of the Conditional Basic Rent Abatement Period, then monthly Basic Rental payments for the Expansion Premises shall not be abated during that portion of the Expansion Space Term occurring within the Conditional Basic Rent Abatement Period. In the event an Event of Default (as defined in Article 19 of the Original Lease) occurs prior to the expiration of the Conditional Basic Rental Abatement Period, Basic Rental coming due thereafter shall not be waived, and if, as a result of such Event of Default Landlord exercises its right to terminate the Lease pursuant to Section 20(a) of the Original Lease, the unamortized amount of the Conditional Base Rent Abatement that Landlord conditionally waived in the past (which shall amortize on a straight-line basis over the remainder of the Extended Term) shall be included in the aggregate amount that Landlord is permitted to recover from Tenant as its damages as permitted by applicable law. If the Lease expires in accordance with its terms, and does not terminate as a result of an Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord agrees to permanently waive the Basic Rental amount that would have otherwise accrued during the Conditional Basic Rent Abatement Period.

5. Direct Costs.

(a) Prior to Extended Term Commencement Date. From March 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, Tenant shall pay, as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for its use and occupancy of all or portions of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and the Expansion Premises, 20.32% of Direct Costs (using the 2006 Base Year under the Original Lease) as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs. Tenant shall pay such percentage of Direct Costs as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs during this period even though Tenant is unable to use all or part of Suite B and/or Suite 150 due to the construction of the Tenant’s Work therein.

(b) Tenant’s Proportionate Share for Extended Term. From and after the Extended Term Commencement Date, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs shall be increased to 32.23%.

(c) Base Year. For periods accruing from and after the Extended Term Commencement Date, for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs, the Base Year shall be 2013 calendar year.

(d) First Twelve Months. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for the first twelve (12) full calendar months after the Extended Term Commencement Date.

(e) Limitation on Increases in Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs. The second full paragraph of Article 3(c)(ii) shall have no further force or effect for periods accruing from and after the Extended Term Commencement Date. This Section shall not apply to any Operating Costs payable by Tenant for periods accruing prior to the Extended Term Commencement Date. Commencing with the Operating Costs due for the 2014 calendar year, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay to Landlord its share of increases in Controllable Operating Costs (as defined below) to the extent that such increases exceed six percent (6%) of the previous calendar years Controllable Operating Costs. “Controllable Operating Costs” shall mean all Operating Costs except utility costs, insurance costs and Tax Costs. The foregoing limitation shall be applied separately during each calendar year commencing with the 2014 calendar year on a cumulative and compounded basis (with such annual limit for any partial calendar year in

which the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Lease occurs to be reduced to a proportionate amount of such six percent (6%) annual limit on increases). If Landlord has increased Controllable Operating Costs by less than six percent (6%) during any calendar year after the 2013 calendar year, the difference between the actual percentage increase imposed in the previous calendar year and six percent (6%) may be added to any future increases in Controllable Operating Costs (e.g., if the Controllable Operating Costs did not increase during 2014 and increased by twelve percent (12%) in 2015, in 2015 Tenant would be obligated to pay increases in Controllable Operating Costs that do not exceed twelve percent (12%)). For example, assume that the Controllable Operating Costs of the Project in calendar year 2013 were $100 and that the Controllable Operating Costs in the calendar year 2014 were $105: A six percent (6%) increase (6% of $100 is $6) would permit Landlord to increase Controllable Operating Costs to $106, which would exceed the actual 5% increase by $1, so that for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Proportionate Share of increases in Controllable Operating Costs in 2015, Controllable Operating Costs could increase by $7 to reflect the 6% annual increase limit plus the $1 of permitted annual increase that was not utilized in 2014. As a further example, assume that the Controllable Operating Costs of the Project in calendar year 2013 were $100 and that the Controllable Operating Costs in the calendar year 2014 were $107. A six percent (6%) increase (6% of $100 is $6) would increase Controllable Operating Costs to $106 and the actual increase of $7 would exceed a 6% increase by $1. In this event, for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Proportionate Share of increases in Controllable Operating Costs in 2015, Controllable Operating Costs in 2014 would be deemed to be $106, the increase in Controllable Operating Costs during 2015 would be limited to $112. The limitation on Operating Costs increases set forth in this Section shall not apply to increases in Operating Costs during the term of the Extension Option (as defined below), and the Operating Costs payable by Tenant during the term of the Extension Option shall not be limited by this Section.

(f) Equitable Adjustment to Base Year Direct Costs. Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall not include cost increases due to extraordinary circumstances, including, but not limited to, Force Majeure boycotts, strikes, conservation surcharges, embargoes or shortages. If Landlord, in any calendar year following the Base Year, begins providing any new services (or obtains any new type of insurance coverage generally maintained by prudent landlords of similar buildings in the Mira Mesa area during the Base Year), then for such period of time in which such new services or coverage apply, Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall be increased by the amount that Landlord reasonably determines it would have incurred had Landlord provided such new service during the same period of time during the Base Year as such new service was provided during such subsequent calendar year. If Landlord, in any calendar year after the Base Year, discontinues any service (or ceases to maintain the coverage of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord during the Base Year), then for such period of time in which such services are discontinued, Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall be decreased by the amount that Landlord reasonably determines it incurred for such service throughout the Base Year.

6. Proposition 8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, the amount of Tax Costs for the 2013 Base Year shall be calculated without taking into account any decreases in Tax Costs obtained in connection with Proposition 8 in the 2013 Base Year or any year prior to the 2013 Base Year, and, therefore, the Tax Costs in the 2013 Base Year may be greater than those actually incurred by Landlord in the 2013 Base Year; provided that: (a) any future reductions in the amount of the Tax Costs for any calendar year following the Base Year which may be obtained in connection with Proposition 8 shall be applied to Tax Costs (but not Operating Costs) for purposes of determining Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Tax Costs in excess of the 2013 Base Year Tax Costs; (b) any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in securing any Proposition 8 reduction in Tax Costs accruing under this Lease after the Base Year shall be included in Tax Costs for purposes of the Lease in the year in which such costs and expenses are paid by Landlord, provided that Tenant’s liability therefor shall not exceed Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the amount of the Proposition 8 reduction and/or tax refund applied as credit to Tax Costs for the applicable calendar year; and (c) tax refunds under Proposition 8 for the 2013 Base Year or any calendar year prior thereto shall not be deducted from 2013 Tax Costs nor refunded to Tenant, but rather shall be the sole property of Landlord. For any calendar year following the Base Year, any tax refund obtained by Landlord for Tax Costs to which Tenant has contributed Tenant’s Proportionate Share thereof shall be credited to Tenant to the extent of Tenant’s contribution to Tax Costs (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such refund), and shall be offset against Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Tax Costs in excess of the Base Year Tax Costs until Tenant’s

Proportionate Share of such refund is fully credited. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the preceding sentence is not intended to in any way: (i) affect the inclusion in Tax Costs of the statutory two percent (2.0%) annual increase in Tax Costs (as such statutory increase may be modified by subsequent legislation); or (ii) affect the inclusion or exclusion of Tax Costs pursuant to the terms of Proposition 13; or (iii) permit Tenant to receive a credit against Basic Rental or Operating Costs because the reduction in Tax Costs is in excess of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the aggregate amount of Tax Costs for the 2013 Base Year. There shall be excluded from Tax Costs, all excess profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal and state income taxes, and other taxes to the extent applicable to Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to rents, receipts or income attributable to operations at the Project). All assessments included in Tax Costs shall be paid by Landlord in the maximum number of installments permitted by law and shall not be included as Tax Costs except in the year in which the assessment installment is actually paid.

7. Utilities and Janitorial.

(a) Prior to Extended Term Commencement Date. Prior to the Extended Term Commencement Date, pursuant to Article 11(a) of the Original Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, continue to (A) pay for all electricity used in Suite B and Suite 100 and (B) retain a bonded janitorial company to perform janitorial services in Suite B and Suite 100. From and after January 1, 2013, pursuant to Article 11(a) of the Original Lease, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense: (a) Tenant shall be obligated to pay for all electricity used in Suite 150 and (b) Tenant shall retain a bonded janitorial company to perform janitorial services in Suite 150. If Tenant occupies Suite 150 prior to January 1, 2013, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide janitorial services to Suite 150.

(b) After Extended Term Commencement Date. From and after the Extended Term Commencement Date, pursuant to Article 11(a) of the Original Lease, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense: (a) Tenant shall be obligated to pay for all electricity used in the entire Premises (Suite B and Suite 150), including, but not limited to, all electricity used to power HVAC units providing HVAC to the Premises during the Extended Term, and (b) Tenant shall retain a bonded janitorial company to perform janitorial services in the entire Premises.

8. Security Deposit. Pursuant to the Lease, Tenant has provided to Landlord a security deposit in the amount of US $39,964.95, and this security deposit shall continue to be held by Landlord pursuant to Article 4 of the Original Lease during the Extended Term.

9. Letter of Credit.

(a) Delivery of Letter of Credit. Within five (5) business days following Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Fourth Amendment, and as a condition to Landlord’s obligations under this Fourth Amendment (and the Lease as modified hereby), Tenant covenants and agrees to deliver to Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense an irrevocable standby letter of credit (the “L/C”) in the form of, and upon all of the terms and conditions contained in, Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The L/C shall be issued by Silicon Valley Bank (hereinafter the “Original Issuing Bank”) or by another state or national bank chartered in the United States that is acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, having a place of business where the L/C can be presented for payment in the State of California (along with the Original Issuing Bank, an “Issuing Bank”). The L/C shall provide for one (1) or more draws by Landlord or its transferee up to the aggregate amount of US $210,000.00 (the “L/C Amount”) on the terms and conditions of Exhibit B.

(b) Renewal of L/C. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, maintain the L/C in effect from the date of Tenant’s execution of this Fourth Amendment until that date which is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Extended Term (said period is hereinafter referred to as the “L/C Term”); and provided that Tenant is not in default under the Lease, beyond the applicable cure period associated with such default, as of the commencement of the Option Term (as defined Section 17 of this Fourth Amendment), the L/C shall not be required to be maintained by Tenant as a condition of, and at any time during, such Option Term, and upon the commencement of the Option Term, the L/C shall be surrendered by Landlord to Tenant (and may be terminated by the notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(b)). If the expiration date of the L/C (or any renewal or replacement L/C provided pursuant to this Section) occurs prior to the end of the L/C Term, then Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a renewal of the L/C or a replacement L/C meeting all of the terms and conditions of this Section, not later than

sixty (60) days prior to the then-applicable expiration date. Each L/C provided pursuant to this Section shall have an expiration date which is at least one (1) year from such L/C’s date of issue except where the then-applicable expiration date of the L/C is less than one (1) year from the end of the L/C Term, in which case the renewal or replacement L/C shall be for such lesser period. The Issuing Bank’s failure to place an automatic renewal provision in the L/C, as required pursuant to said Exhibit B, or its notice to Landlord of the non-renewal of the L/C, notwithstanding such an automatic renewal provision of the L/C, shall not relieve or release Tenant from its obligation to provide a renewal or replacement L/C on the terms hereinabove stated, it being understood that such automatic renewal provision of the L/C (and any failure of the Issuing Bank to comply with such automatic renewal commitment) is an independent obligation of the applicable Issuing Bank to Tenant, and as between Landlord and Tenant, the failure of the Issuing Bank to comply with the automatic renewal terms of this Section 9 shall not excuse Tenant from satisfying Tenant’s obligation to maintain the L/C in effect throughout the Extended Term. If Tenant fails to provide a replacement L/C not later than thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of a notice of non-renewal of the L/C from the Issuing Bank (and in any event, prior to the expiration of the L/C regardless of when such notice of non-renewal is received from the Issuing Bank by Landlord), such failure shall be a default by Tenant, and Landlord shall have the right, without notice or demand, on one or more occasions, to draw upon all or any part of the remaining proceeds of the L/C, which proceeds shall be held as part of the Security Deposit in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Lease until such time as Tenant’s default is timely cured by delivery to Landlord of a replacement L/C from an Issuing Bank, in which event the unapplied proceeds of the L/C shall be promptly refunded to Tenant.

(c) Draw on Letter of Credit. Landlord may elect from time to time, in Landlord’s sole discretion, without notice or demand to Tenant, to draw upon all or any part of the remaining proceeds of the L/C upon Tenant’s failure to timely cure any default by Tenant under the Lease, as hereby amended (including, but not limited to, its obligations under this Section), within the applicable cure period, if any, provided under the Lease, as hereby amended (including, without limitation, (i) any assignment made by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or (ii) if Tenant files for bankruptcy (in which case no notice to Tenant shall be required), or (iii) the filing against Tenant of any petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, of for reorganization of Tenant, or for the appointment of a receiver of all or a portion of Tenant’s property, or a proceeding by any governmental authority for the dissolution or liquidation of Tenant, if any such proceeding is not dismissed, or if any such trusteeship is not discontinued, within sixty (60) days after commencement of such proceeding, or the appointment of such trustee or receiver, as applicable (collectively, a “Bankruptcy Event”).

(d) Application of L/C Proceeds. Landlord may elect, from time to time, upon written notice to Tenant, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to draw on the L/C in the following amounts and in one or more of the following manners: (i) Landlord may draw such amounts as are reasonably required to compensate Landlord for some or all of the unpaid Basic Rental, Direct Costs or other amounts owed by Tenant under the Lease, as hereby amended, which are unpaid within the applicable cure period associated with such failure, (ii) Landlord may draw such amount as Landlord is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 20(a) of the Lease as payment for some or all of the future amounts of or Basic Rental, Direct Costs as Landlord is permitted by law to receive upon Landlord’s termination of the Lease following an Event of Default, (iii) as payment for some or all of the damage Landlord may suffer as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the Lease, as hereby amended, as permitted by the terms and conditions of Article 20 of the Lease, and/or (iv) in any other manner permitted by the Lease, as hereby amended, or by applicable law. Landlord may make one or more partial draws under the L/C as required to compensate Landlord as permitted by this Section 9(d), and shall have the right, upon written notice to Tenant, to treat each draw or a portion thereof in one or more of the ways described in the previous sentence. The L/C and its proceeds shall not be treated as a security deposit within the meaning of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and Tenant hereby waives Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and any other law or regulation that may be inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Section. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant has no interest in any L/C proceeds received by Landlord and applied by Landlord as compensation for Landlord’s damages under the Lease as permitted by this Section 9(d), provided that any proceeds of any draw made by Landlord against the L/C, in excess of the amounts to which Landlord is entitled by the Lease, and by applicable law, shall be promptly reimbursed to Tenant by Landlord.

(e) Enforcement. Tenant’s obligation to furnish the L/C shall not be released, modified or affected by any failure or delay on the part of Landlord to enforce or assert any of its rights or remedies under the Lease, as hereby amended, whether pursuant to the terms thereof or at law or in equity. Landlord’s right to draw upon the L/C shall be without prejudice or limitation to Landlord’s right to draw upon any security deposit provided by Tenant to Landlord or to avail itself of any other rights or remedies available to Landlord under the Lease, as hereby amended, or at law or equity.

(f) Deterioration of Financial Condition of Initial Issuing Bank. The Capital Ratios (as defined below) of the Original Issuing Bank on the date the L/C is first issued are hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Capital Ratios”. If following the issuance of the L/C, (i) either of the Initial Capital Ratios decrease by more than ten percent (10%) or (ii) any other measure of capital or solvency of the Original Issuing Bank falls below the minimum requirements of the governmental regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over the Original Issuing Bank, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may require Tenant to replace the existing L/C with a new L/C (the “New L/C”) from a new Issuing Bank (the “New Bank”). The New Bank’s Capital Ratios shall be the same or better than the Initial Capital Ratios and the New Bank shall be in compliance with all other capital and solvency requirements of the governmental regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over the New Bank. Tenant shall replace the existing L/C with a New L/C substantially in the form of Exhibit B within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s written request setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for Landlord’s right to require a New L/C pursuant to this Section 9(f), subject to the accuracy and veracity of Landlord’s information relating to the financial condition of the Original Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section, “Capital Ratios” shall mean the Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital ratios calculated by a bank to determine if the bank satisfies certain capital requirements of the governmental regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over the bank. For example, assume that the Tier 1 capital ratio of the Original Issuing Bank was 10% and it decreases to 8.9%. In this event the Landlord would have the right to require Tenant to provide a New L/C to replace the L/C issued by the Original Issuing Bank.

(g) Event of Default. Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Section (time being of the essence), which is not cured by Tenant within three (3) business days following notice from Landlord of such failure shall constitute an additional Event of Default under Article 19 of the Lease, as hereby amended, and shall entitle Landlord to immediately exercise all of its rights and remedies under the Lease, as hereby amended, (including, but not limited to rights and remedies under this Section) or at law or in equity, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 20 of the Lease.

10. Parking. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, from and after the Extended Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall be entitled to use (a) eighty-eight (82) unreserved parking passes (the “Unreserved Parking Spaces”) and (b) six (6) reserved parking passes (the “Reserved Parking Spaces”). The location of Tenant’s Reserved Parking Spaces is depicted on Exhibit C attached hereto, and Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably relocate the Reserved Parking Spaces (such that no other tenant of the Project shall be granted the Reserved Parking Spaces pursuant to such relocation rights of Landlord). If Landlord relocates the Reserved Spaces, Landlord shall endeavor to provide new locations for the Reserved Spaces that are as convenient to Tenant as the original Reserved Parking Spaces. Tenant shall have no obligation to pay any parking charges for its use of the Unreserved Parking Spaces and the Reserved Parking Spaces during the Extended Term, and, if Tenant exercises the Extension Option (as defined below), Tenant shall have no obligation to pay any parking charges for its use of the Unreserved Parking Spaces and the Reserved Parking Spaces during the term of the Extension Option. Accordingly, Article 23 of the Original Lease is hereby modified to exclude the Reserved Parking Spaces from the Tenant’s obligation to pay for reserved parking at the Project. Landlord shall act reasonably in the event Tenant provides Landlord with written notice of Tenant’s determination that the parking facilities of the Project are becoming overburdened by excessive use of the Project parking areas by other tenants of the Project or the general public; and if the overburdening of the parking facilities of the Project adversely affects Tenant’s ability to use the Unreserved Parking Spaces or the Reserved Parking Spaces (or both), then Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant’s requests for the institution of a parking management program (such as vehicle stickers and temporary visitor passes) in order to alleviate the overburdening of the parking areas by tenants of the Building or their visitors, or by the unauthorized use of the Project parking facilities by the general public.

11. Limitations on Tenant’s Use.

(a) Parking Controls. Landlord shall have the right to implement reasonable controls on the use of the Project’s parking areas, and Tenant shall comply with any rules and regulations adopted by Landlord to reasonably implement such controls. By way of example and not limitation, Landlord shall have the right at any time, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to require that all of Tenant’s employees using the Project’s parking area display in the window of their vehicle a parking sticker or other device showing that their vehicle is authorized to park in the Project’s parking area. In addition, by way of example and not limitation, at Landlord’s option, Landlord shall have the right at any time to install parking gates or other devices that control access to and from the Project’s parking area by Tenant’s employees (with parking area accessibility as reasonably required to accommodate access to the Premises by Tenant’s vendors, contractors and visitors as permitted under the Lease) and Tenant shall comply with any requirements reasonably imposed by Landlord with respect to such controls. If a vehicle of one of Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or authorized visitors (“Tenant’s Permitted Users”) is parked in the Project’s parking area in violation of the requirements of the Lease, the Rules and Regulations attached to the Original Lease as Exhibit B (the “Rules”) or this Section, then Landlord shall have the right, following telephonic notice to Tenant during Normal Building Hours (as defined in Section 11(c) below) (but without any notice upon the second violation by the same vehicle in any twelve (12) month period), in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have under the Lease, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual towing charge paid by Landlord within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant of such amount.

(b) Failure to Comply with Parking Requirements. If Tenant or any of the Tenant’s Permitted Users fails to remedy any violation of any of the parking requirements contained in the Lease, the Rules or this Section (collectively, the “Parking Requirements”), within a reasonable period (not to exceed one (1) business day) following Tenant’s receipt of notice of such violation (a “Parking Violation”), such failure shall constitute a default by Tenant under Article 19 of the Original Lease. In the event that Tenant or any of Tenant’s Permitted Users causes a Parking Violation on more than three (3) occasions in any calendar year, then in addition to any other rights and remedies Landlord may have under this Lease, for each and every Parking Violation by Tenant or any of the Tenant’s Permitted Users after the third Parking Violation in any calendar year, and notwithstanding Tenant’s timely remedy of such Parking Violation (each, a “Punitive Violation,” which shall be subject to Landlord’s obligation to provide notice of such Punitive Violation to Tenant before a Parking Charge, as hereinafter defined, shall commence to accrue), Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after written demand a separate charge of $500.00 for the day on which the Punitive Violation occurs and for each day thereafter that such Punitive Violation remains uncured (the “Parking Charge”). For purposes of determining if a Punitive Violation has occurred, a Parking Violation shall be deemed to have occurred even though the violation of the Parking Requirements giving rise to the Parking Violation is cured by Tenant after it receives notice of the Parking Violation from Landlord. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the violation of the Parking Requirements by Tenant or any of the Tenant’s Permitted Users will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, but are not limited to, (i) additional costs incurred to monitor and enforce Tenant’s and Tenant’s Permitted Users’ compliance with the Parking Requirements, (ii) liability to other tenants of Project if Tenant’s and Tenant’s Permitted users’ violations of the Parking Requirements adversely affect their use of the parking area and (iii) making it more difficult or impossible for Landlord to lease vacant space in the Project or to lease vacant space at fair market rental rates as a result of Tenant’s and Tenant’s Permitted users’ violations of the Parking Requirements. The parties hereby agree that the Parking Charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of each day during which a Punitive Violation remains uncured. Acceptance of the Parking Charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to Tenant’s failure to timely cure such default, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder with respect to such a Tenant default, including, but not limited to, Landlord’s rights under Article 19 of the Original Lease.

(c) Parking Attendant. In addition to Landlord’s rights under Section (b) above, if Tenant’s liability to Landlord for Parking Charges in any calendar year exceeds $1,500, then for the following twelve (12) month period (the “Monitoring Period”), in addition to any other rights and remedies Landlord may have under this Lease or this Section, Landlord shall have the

right to employ a parking attendant to monitor parking in the Project’s parking areas (the “Parking Attendant”) from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding local and national holidays (“Normal Building Hours”). In the event a Parking Attendant is employed by Landlord pursuant to this Section 11(c) solely as a result of Tenant’s accumulated Parking Charges, then all costs reasonably incurred by Landlord to employ the Parking Attendant (the “Parking Attendant Costs”) during the Monitoring Period shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent. Parking Attendant Costs shall include, but are not limited to, labor costs, insurance costs and the cost of fringe benefits for similar employees engaged to provide similar services in the Kearny Mesa market. In the event Tenant is obligated to reimburse Landlord for Parking Attendant Costs as Additional Rent, Landlord shall periodically notify Tenant of the monthly Parking Attendant Costs, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for the payment of such Parking Attendant Costs in accordance with this Section 11(c). Landlord shall, from time to time, estimate what the Parking Attendant Costs will be, and the same shall be payable by Tenant monthly during the Lease term, on the same day as the Base Rent is due hereunder, subject to the notice requirements for Additional Rent payments as are set forth in the Lease. Landlord may modify its estimate of the Parking Attendant Costs from time to time, to reasonably reflect changes in the actual Parking Attendant Costs, during the Monitoring Period, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the most recent estimated cost.

(d) Tenant’s Parking Plan. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that at no time will more than eighty-eight (88) of Tenant’s Permitted Users (the “Maximum Number of Users”) have the right to use Tenant’s Unreserved Parking Spaces and Reserved Parking Spaces at the Project during Normal Building Hours. If at any time more than the Maximum Number of Users are concurrently occupying, or otherwise provided with access to, the Premises by Tenant, Tenant shall: (i) arrange for each of Tenant’s Permitted Users over the Maximum Number of Users to travel to the Project by carpool, mass transit or to park off-site (the “Alternative Travel Arrangements”); (ii) assist the Tenant Permitted Users making Alternative Travel Arrangements in doing so; and (iii) monitor the persons who are obligated to use Alternative Travel Arrangements to ensure that they are in fact using Alternative Travel Arrangements, and keep an up to date record of the name of each person occupying the Premises (and Tenant’s authorized visitors), indicating whether that person is entitled to park at the Project, and if not, what Alternative Travel Arrangement that person is obligated to use (collectively, “Parking Records”). If any of Tenant’s Permitted Users park off-site pursuant to their occupancy of, or Tenant-authorized access to, the Premises, they shall do so in compliance with all laws and regulations, in compliance with any requirements imposed by governmental agencies on Landlord’s use of the Project and in a manner that does not create a parking shortage in the residential neighborhoods surrounding the Project. If and when Tenant is required to maintain Parking Records pursuant to this Section 11(d), Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time to review and to audit Tenant’s Parking Records, and Landlord’s audit may include interviewing Tenant’s Permitted Users and other persons occupying or provided with Tenant-authorized access to the Premises during Normal Building Hours concerning their use of the parking area of the Project and any Alternative Travel Arrangements. Landlord shall provide to Tenant, and Tenant shall at all times post inside the Premises in a prominent location, a copy of the Parking Requirements.

12. Emergency Generator. Subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and subject to the terms and conditions of Article 9 and Article 11 of the Original Lease, Tenant may install, for Tenant’s own use and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, but without the payment of any Rent or a license or similar fee or charge an emergency back-up generator (the “Generator”), with an associated above ground fuel storage tank (the “Generator Unit”) and an electrical line from the Generator to the Premises (the “Line”), all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (all such equipment defined collectively as the “Generator Equipment”). The Generator shall be located on the pad depicted on Exhibit D attached hereto. The physical appearance and the size of the location housing the Generator Equipment shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, and Landlord may require Tenant to incorporate improvements surrounding such Generator Equipment area, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, as reasonably required by Landlord. Tenant shall maintain such Generator Equipment, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In the event Tenant elects to exercise its right to install such Generator Equipment, then Tenant shall give Landlord no less than fifteen (15) business days’ prior written notice thereof. Tenant shall remove such Generator Equipment upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and shall repair any damage to the Project

caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Project to the condition existing prior to the installation of such Generator Equipment, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Such Generator Equipment shall be installed pursuant to plans and specifications approved by Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Such Generator Equipment shall, in all instances, comply with all applicable governmental laws, codes, rules and regulations. In addition, Tenant shall not have the right to trench between the Premises and the Generator Equipment. Tenant shall be entitled to use the Generator for the sole purpose of providing electrical power to the Premises in the event of a power outage. If it is customary to obtain special insurance for the Generator, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to obtain such special insurance at Tenant’s sole expense and Tenant shall name Landlord and its property manager as additional insureds on such insurance policy. Tenant’s use of the Generator shall constitute a use of the Premises under Article 13(a) of the Lease. Tenant shall perform all Generator testing in accordance with applicable laws and the Generator manufacturer’s recommended maintenance instructions, and Tenant shall act reasonably not to interfere with or disturb other tenants quiet use and enjoyment of their premises in the Project in performing such testing, and in the event that Tenant is in default of the foregoing testing requirements, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to stop using the Generator and to remove the Generator from the Project.

13. Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall make improvements to the Suite B and Suite 150 pursuant to the Work Letter attached hereto as Exhibit E, subject to Landlord’s obligations relating to the payment of the Improvement Allowance and performance of the Landlord’s Work, as set forth therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove upon the termination of the Lease any of the Improvements (as defined in the Work Letter) or any of the Separate HVAC Units.

14. ADA Modifications to Common Area. If as a result of the construction of the Improvements by Tenant, the City of San Diego requires that portions of the Common Areas be modified to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act (“ADA”), Landlord shall make such modifications at Landlord’s sole cost and expense as part of the Landlord’s Work (as defined in the Work Letter), and the cost of such modifications shall not be deducted from the Improvement Allowance. Except as expressly provided in this Fourth Amendment or the Work Letter Agreement attached hereto to the contrary, all ADA modifications made to the Premises as part of the Improvements shall be paid from the Improvement Allowance.

15. Replacement of HVAC Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, if one or more of the HVAC units servicing the Building (other than a Separate HVAC Unit, as defined below, and each, a “Landlord HVAC Unit”) is “In Need of Replacement” (as hereinafter defined), Landlord shall replace such Landlord HVAC Unit and the cost of such replacement shall not be included in Direct Costs or deducted from the Improvement Allowance. For purposes of this Section 15, a Landlord HVAC Unit shall be “In Need of Replacement” if, in the reasonable determination of a third party HVAC contractor reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant (the “HVAC Contractor”), the cost of maintaining such Landlord HVAC Unit in good operation condition over the first (5) years of the Extended Term is likely to exceed the cost of replacement of such Landlord HVAC Unit amortized over the same period of time (based on a straight-line amortization over a 15 year useful life). No later than August 30, 2012, Landlord shall cause the HVAC Contractor to perform and deliver, to Landlord and Tenant concurrently, a full report on the condition and scheduled maintenance of, and estimated annual cost of maintenance, replacements and repairs to, each of the Landlord HVAC Units, which shall be certified to both Landlord and Tenant by the HVAC Contractor (the “Landlord HVAC Report”). To the extent that the Landlord HVAC Report indicates that any of the Landlord HVAC Units are in need of replacement, Landlord shall cause such replacements to be performed promptly following the delivery of the Landlord HVAC Report as part of Landlord’s Work (as defined in the Work Letter). Except as provided in Section 16 below, Landlord shall have no obligation to maintain, repair and/or replace any Separate HVAC Unit.

16. Separate HVAC Units.

(a) Generally. The Premises presently contains dedicated HVAC units to provide cooling to Tenant’s server room and related areas (the “Separate HVAC Units”). Tenant accepts the Separate HVAC Units in their “as is” condition as of the Execution Date,

except that Landlord agrees to perform or repair the items listed as necessary repairs/concerns for unit 11-024 Package Unit #2 and 11-025 Package Unit #3 as specified in the report issued by ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ on or about June 22, 2012, at the time of Landlord’s next regularly scheduled maintenance of the HVAC systems. Tenant shall pay, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense the entire cost of maintaining, repairing and, when necessary, replacing any Separate HVAC Unit. Subject to the requirements of the Work Letter, Tenant may use the Improvement Allowance to replace a Separate HVAC Unit.

(b) Separate HVAC Unit(s) in Suite 150. The Landlord HVAC Report shall evaluate the condition of any Separate HVAC Unit(s) located on the Execution Date in Suite 150, if any (a “Suite 150 Separate HVAC Unit”). If a Suite 150 Separate HVAC Unit is In Need of Replacement, Landlord shall replace the Suite 150 Separate HVAC Unit that is In Need of Replacement with a new unit of the same capacity, and the cost of such replacement shall not be included in Direct Costs or deducted from the Improvement Allowance. To the extent that the Landlord HVAC Report indicates that any of the Suite 150 Separate HVAC Units are in need of replacement, Landlord shall cause such replacements to be performed promptly following the delivery of the Landlord HVAC Report as part of Landlord’s Work (as defined in the Work Letter). If Tenant desires to replace a Suite 150 Separate HVAC Unit that is In Need of Replacement with a HVAC unit of a different capacity or of a different type, Landlord shall have no obligation to replace the Suite 150 Separate HVAC Unit, and subject to the requirements of the Work Letter, Tenant may use the Improvement Allowance to replace the Separate HVAC Unit.

17. After Hours HVAC. Pursuant to Article 11(f) of the Original Lease, Landlord has the right to charge Tenant for after hours HVAC use of the Landlord HVAC Units (the “After Hours HVAC Use”). During the Extended Term, the cost to Tenant of After Hours HVAC Use shall be $30.00 per hour (the “After Hours HVAC Charge”). Tenant shall pay one After Hours HVAC Charge without respect to the area of the Premises being provided After Hours HVAC Use from one or more of the Landlord HVAC Units (e.g., if Tenant is providing After Hours HVAC Use to the entire Premises, the charge shall be $30.00 per hour and if Tenant is providing After Hours HVAC Use to one office in the Premises, the charge shall be $30.00 per hour). Tenant shall not incur any After Hours HVAC Charge for use of any of the Separate HVAC Units. The After Hours HVAC Charge does not include the cost of electricity used by any Landlord HVAC Units operated by Tenant for the After Hours HVAC Use, and Tenant shall pay for all electricity used by such Landlord HVAC Units in addition to the After Hours HVAC Charge.

18. Option to Extend. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to extend the term of the Lease (the “Extension Option”) for one (1) five (5)-year period (the Option Term”) commencing on the day after the Expiration Date upon each and all of the following terms and conditions:

(a) On a date which is prior to the date that the option period would commence (if exercised) by at least two hundred seventy (270) days and not more than three hundred sixty (360) days, Landlord shall have received from Tenant a written notice of the exercise of the Extension Option to extend the Lease for the Option Term (an “Exercise Notice”), time being of the essence. If the Exercise Notice is not so given and received, the Extension Option shall automatically expire, Tenant shall no longer have the right to give an Exercise Notice and this Section shall be of no further force or effect. Tenant shall give the Exercise Notice using certified mail return receipt requested or some other method where the person delivering the package containing the Exercise Notice obtains a signature of the person accepting the package containing the Exercise Notice (e.g., by FedEx with the requirement that the FedEx delivery person obtain a signature from the person accepting the package). It shall be the obligation of Tenant to prove that Landlord received the Exercise Notice in a timely manner.

(b) All of the terms and conditions of the Lease except where specifically modified by this Section shall apply. The Extension Option is personal to the original Tenant (i.e., Mitek Systems, Inc.) or an Affiliated Assignee (as defined in Article 15(d) of the Original Lease) and may be exercised only by the original Tenant or an Affiliate while it occupies not less than 19,000 rentable square feet of the Premises and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than the original Tenant or an Affiliate, including, without limitation, any assignee approved pursuant to Article 15 of the Original Lease. If at the time the Extension Option is exercisable by Tenant, the Lease has been

assigned to a person or entity other than an Affiliate, or a sublease exists as to 19,000 rentable square feet of the Premises to any person or entity other than an Affiliate, the Extension Option shall be deemed null and void. Tenant shall have no right to exercise the Extension Option (i) during the time commencing from the date Landlord gives to Tenant a notice of default and continuing until the noncompliance alleged in said notice of default is cured, or (ii) if Tenant is in default of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease. The period of time within which the Extension Option may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise the Extension Option due to the circumstances described in the previous sentence.

(c) The monthly Basic Rental payable during the Option Term shall be the Market Rate on the date the option term commences.

(d) The term “Market Rate” shall mean the annual amount per rentable square foot that a willing, comparable renewal tenant would pay and a willing, comparable landlord of a similar office building would accept at arm’s length for similar space for a lease term equal to the Option Term, giving appropriate consideration to the following matters: (i) annual rental rates per rentable square foot; (ii) the type of escalation clauses (including, but without limitation, operating expense, real estate taxes, and CPI) and the extent of liability under the escalation clauses (i.e., whether determined on a “net lease” basis or by increases over a particular base year or base dollar amount); (iii) rent abatement provisions reflecting free rent and/or no rent during the lease term; (iv) size and location of premises being leased; and (v) other generally applicable terms and conditions of tenancy for similar space; provided, however, Tenant shall not be entitled to any tenant improvement allowance. If renewal tenants exercising similar market rate extension options are receiving a tenant improvement allowance, this fact shall be taken into consideration in determining the Market Rate. The Market Rate may also designate periodic rental increases and similar economic adjustments.

(e) If Tenant exercises the Extension Option, Landlord shall determine the Market Rate by using its good faith judgment. Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of such amount on or before the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the date that the term of the Extension Option will commence. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days (“Tenant’s Review Period”) after receipt of Landlord’s notice of the new rental within which to accept such rental. In the event Tenant fails to accept in writing such rental proposal by Landlord, then such proposal shall be deemed rejected, and Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon such Market Rate, using their best good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Tenant’s Review Period (“Outside Agreement Date”), then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope their final proposal as to the Market Rate, and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with subsections (i) through (v) below.

(i) Landlord and Tenant shall meet with each other within five (5) business days after the Outside Agreement Date and exchange their sealed envelopes and then open such envelopes in each other’s presence. If Landlord and Tenant do not mutually agree upon the Market Rate within one (1) business day of the exchange and opening of envelopes, then, within ten (10) business days of the exchange and opening of envelopes, Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon and jointly appoint a single arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker or agent who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of similar buildings in the geographical area of the Premises. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall consult with such broker or agent as to his or her opinion as to the Market Rate prior to the appointment. The determination of the arbitrator shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Market Rate for the Premises is the closest to the actual Market Rate for the Premises as determined by the arbitrator, taking into account the requirements for determining Market Rate set forth herein. Such arbitrator may hold such hearings and require such briefs as the arbitrator, in his or her sole discretion, determines is necessary. In addition, Landlord or Tenant may submit to the arbitrator with a copy to the other party within five (5) business days after the appointment of the arbitrator any market data and additional information such party deems relevant to the determination of the Market Rate (“MR Data”), and the other party may submit a reply in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of such MR Data.

(ii) The arbitrator shall, within thirty (30) days of his or her appointment, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Market Rate and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of such determination.

(iii) The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

(iv) If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon and appoint an arbitrator, then the appointment of the arbitrator shall be made by the presiding judge of the Superior Court for the county in which the Premises is located, or, if he or she refuses to act, by any judge having jurisdiction over the parties.

(v) The cost of the arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.

(vi) Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to execute and to deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Lease that accurately sets forth the extended term of the Lease and the new Basic Rental and other economic terms, if any. Within ten (10) days after Landlord provides the amendment to Tenant, Tenant shall execute the amendment and deliver the amendment to Landlord. Landlord’s election not to require Tenant to execute an amendment shall not invalidate Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option.

19. Right of Refusal.

(a) The Space. For purposes of this Section, the “Right of Refusal Space” shall mean any leasable space in the Building.

(b) Election Notice. In the event that at any time between the Execution Date and the last day of the Extended Term, Landlord receives an offer from a third party to lease all or part of the Right of Refusal Space (an “Offer”), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written notice that it has received the Offer (a “Right of Refusal Notice”) and Tenant shall have seven (7) business days after receiving the Right of Refusal Notice to irrevocably elect upon written notice to Landlord (the “Election Notice”) to lease the Right of Refusal Space that is the subject of the Offer (but not more or less space than is described in the Offer). The “Offer” shall take the form of a nonbinding letter of intent executed by Landlord containing the Basic Business Terms (as defined below). For purposes of this Section, “Basic Business Terms” shall mean the rent due under the lease, the term of the lease, the amount of any tenant improvement allowance being provided by Landlord, the estimated commencement date of the lease, and the terms and conditions of any renewal, extension and expansion rights granted pursuant to the proposed lease. Landlord may, at its option, and without any obligation to Tenant, include additional terms and conditions of the proposed lease in the Offer, and if Landlord does include such additional terms and conditions in the Offer, Tenant shall be obligated to lease the Right of Refusal Space subject to such additional terms and conditions.

(c) If Tenant Does Not Give Election Notice. If Tenant does not give Landlord an Election Notice within the seven (7) business day period, time being of the essence, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to lease the space described in the Right of Refusal Notice and Landlord may proceed to lease such space to such person or entity on any terms and conditions desired by Landlord (whether or not the terms and conditions are similar to those contained in the Offer). If Tenant does not elect to lease a Right of Refusal Space, and Landlord does not enter into a lease with the tenant described in the Offer, Tenant’s right to lease such space pursuant to this Section shall apply to any later Offer received by Landlord from a new prospective tenant.

(d) If Tenant Gives An Election Notice. If Tenant gives the Election Notice it shall be irrevocable and Tenant shall lease the Right of Refusal Space described in the Offer on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer. If the Offer does not include all of the Business Terms (as defined below), or if the Business Terms are not clear from the Offer, Landlord and Tenant shall agree on the Business Terms, in each of their sole and absolute discretions, within ten (10) days after Tenant delivers to Landlord its Election Notice. “Business Terms” shall mean the Basic Business Terms and (i) the modifications, if any, to the Right of Refusal Space, (ii) options to extend, (iii) signage, (iv) parking rights and (v) other economic terms. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Business Terms within such ten (10) day period, time

being of the essence, Tenant’s right to lease the Right of Refusal Space shall automatically expire and Tenant shall have no further right to lease the Right of Refusal Space, and Landlord may proceed to lease the Right of Refusal Space to the third party Tenant on any terms and conditions desired by Landlord (whether or not the terms and conditions are similar to those contained in the Offer).

(e) Option Term. This Right of Refusal shall be of no force or effect during the term of the Extension Option, and Tenant shall have no right to exercise its Right of Refusal during the term of the Extension Option.

(f) Subject to Existing Rights. This right of offer shall be subject to (i) the prior and existing rights of the other tenants in the Project to lease the Additional Premises (including, but not limited to, the rights of DriveCam, Inc.) as of the Execution Date, and (ii) Landlord’s right, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to elect to renew or extend the lease of any tenant currently occupying the Additional Premises, whether or not such tenant has the legal right or option to renew or extend its lease.

(g) Additional Limitations. This Right of Refusal is personal to the original Tenant (i.e., Mitek Systems, Inc.) and its Affiliates and may be exercised only by the original Tenant or an Affiliate while it occupies not less than 19,000 rentable square feet of the Premises and may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than the original Tenant or an Affiliate, including, without limitation, any assignee approved pursuant to Article 15 of the Original Lease. If at the time this Right of Refusal is exercisable by Tenant, the Lease has been assigned to a person or entity other than an Affiliate, or Tenant or an Affiliate is occupying less than 19,000 rentable square feet of the Premise, this Right of Refusal shall be deemed null and void. Tenant shall have no right to exercise this Right of Refusal (i) during the time commencing from the date Landlord gives to Tenant a notice of default and continuing until the noncompliance alleged in said notice of default is cured, or (ii) if Tenant is in default of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease. The period of time within which this Right of Refusal may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise this Right of Refusal due to the circumstances described in the previous sentence.

(h) Lease Amendment. Landlord shall prepare an amendment to the Lease adding the Right of Refusal Space to the Premises (the “Amendment”). The terms of the Amendment (other than the agreed upon Business Terms) shall be satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant in each of their sole and absolute discretions. The sole consequence of Landlord and Tenant not being able to agree on the terms and conditions of the Amendment shall be that Landlord shall have no further obligation to lease the Right of Refusal Space to Tenant and Tenant shall have no further obligation to lease the Right of Refusal Space from Landlord pursuant to this Section. Tenant shall execute and deliver the Amendment to Landlord within five (5) business days after it is delivered to Tenant. At Landlord’s option, if Tenant does not execute and deliver to Landlord the Amendment within the five (5) business day period, time being of the essence, Tenant’s right to lease the Right of Refusal Space shall immediately terminate, and Tenant shall have no further right to lease the Right of Refusal Space.

20. Building Signage. Subject to the following terms and conditions, Landlord shall permit Tenant to install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, one (1) exterior building sign on the top of the Building in the location depicted on Exhibit F attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Building Sign”) containing Tenant’s name; provided that if the City of San Diego or any other governmental or quasi-governmental authority whose permission is required for the Building Sign, requires the location of the Building Sign at a different location on the Building, such different location shall be as is mutually-agreed to by Tenant and Landlord, acting reasonably and in good faith to provide Tenant with reasonably similar Building signage):

(a) The cost of designing, fabricating, installing and obtaining governmental approvals for the Building Sign shall be paid by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall have the right to approve the contractor that installs the Building Sign and the contractor shall comply with all of Landlord’s policies and procedures relating to construction performed at the Project (e.g., insurance, safety etc.);

(b) Tenant shall maintain the Building Sign in good order and repair, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense;

(c) Tenant’s right to install the Building Sign is subject to Tenant obtaining all required governmental approvals and permits for the installation of the Building Sign.

(d) Any modification of the Building Sign shall be considered to be an “Alteration” within the meaning of Article 9(c) of the Original Lease, and shall be governed by the provisions thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article (c), any modification or alteration of the Building Sign shall require Landlord’s prior approval, which may be given or withheld by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion, except that in the event of an assignment of this Lease to an Affiliate of Tenant as permitted under the Lease, as modified hereby, the name of the Affiliate in the Building Sign location shall not require Landlord’s approval, as long as the replacement Building Sign satisfies all of the other requirements of this Section 20;

(e) The Building Sign shall be considered a use of the Premises pursuant to Article 13 of the Original Lease, and Tenant shall defend and indemnify Landlord to the extent provided in said Article 13;

(i) If at any time Tenant has assigned this Lease to a person or entity other than an Affiliate or has subleased more than twenty five percent (25%) of the usable square feet in the Premises to a person or entity other than an Affiliate, Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s option, at any time, upon not less than ninety (90) days advance written notice to Tenant, to require Tenant to permanently remove the Building Sign and to repair any damage to the Building caused by such removal, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. From and after the date of such removal, Tenant shall no longer have the right to place the Building Sign on the Building, and except for Tenant’s obligation to remove the Building Sign and to repair any damage to the Building, this Section shall be of no further force or effect;

Tenant shall have the right to install its own security system inside the Premises provided that it does not interfere with Landlord’s security systems in the Building and does not create other problems in the operation and management of the Building. No portion of Tenant’s security system may be located in the Common Areas (e.g., security cameras). Landlord shall have the right to approve any security system Tenant desires to install prior to its installation, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. If due to an emergency Landlord forces its way into the Premises, Tenant shall be pay the cost of repairing any damages caused by Landlord’s forced entry at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall install and maintain its security system, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. At the end of the term of the Lease, Tenant shall remove the security system, repair any damage caused by such removal and return the area where the security system was installed to the same condition it was in prior to the installation of the security system. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide the Building’s manager with access codes, keys or other devices so that the Building’s manager may gain access to the Premises in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article 12 of the Original Lease.

22. Holding Over.

(a) On a date which is at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Expiration Date (as the same may be extended by the Extension Option), Landlord shall have received from Tenant an irrevocable written notice of the exercise of the Holdover Option (the “Exercise Notice”), time being of the essence. If the Exercise Notice is not so given and received, the Holdover Option shall automatically expire, Tenant shall no longer have the right to give an Exercise Notice and this Section shall be of no further force or effect. Tenant shall give the Exercise Notice using certified mail return receipt requested or some other method where the person delivering the package containing the Exercise Notice obtains a signature of the person accepting the package containing the Exercise Notice (e.g., by FedEx with the requirement that the FedEx delivery person obtain a signature from the person accepting the package). It shall be the obligation of Tenant to prove that Landlord received the Exercise Notice in a timely manner.

(b) In the Exercise Notice Tenant shall elect to holdover for thirty (30) days, sixty (60) days or ninety (90) days. Tenant’s election of a Holdover Period shall be irrevocable.

(c) During the Holdover Period, Tenant shall pay Basic Rental equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Basic Rental payable during the last month of the Extended Term.

(d) All of the terms and conditions of the Lease except where specifically modified by this Section shall apply during the Holdover Period.

(b) Article 30(m) of the Original Lease is hereby deleted.

(c) The rules and regulations limiting Tenant use of the parking facilities of the Building to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and providing that such parking facilities will be closed on weekends and holiday and during such other hours as Landlord may elect is hereby deleted. Tenant shall have the right to use its parking rights of the Project on a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week basis, subject to Landlord’s right to temporarily close the parking areas as reasonably required for maintenance, alterations and repairs upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant of such closing.

(d) Article 30(t) of the Original Lease, Section 6 of the First Amendment and Section 12 of the Second Amendment are hereby modified to provide that Tenant may disclose

the terms and conditions of the Lease as required to comply with by law (including filing the Original Lease or any amendment thereto in connection with any filing by the Tenant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) or to otherwise comply with the law.

24. Conflict. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Fourth Amendment and the terms and conditions of the Lease, the terms and conditions of this Fourth Amendment shall control. Except as modified by this Fourth Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Capitalized terms included in this Fourth Amendment shall have the same meaning as capitalized terms in the Lease unless otherwise defined herein. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord is not currently in default under the Lease, and, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would ripen into Landlord’s default under the Lease.

25. Authority. The persons executing this Fourth Amendment on behalf of the parties hereto represent and warrant that they have the authority to execute this Fourth Amendment on behalf of said parties and that said parties have authority to enter into this Fourth Amendment.

26. Brokers. Tenant and Landlord each represent and warrant to the other that neither has had any dealings or entered into any agreements with any person, entity, broker or finder other than CB ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Inc., who has exclusively represented Landlord, and Colliers International (▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇), who has exclusively represented Tenant, in connection with the negotiation of this Fourth Amendment, and no other broker, person, or entity is entitled to any commission or finder’s fee in connection with the negotiation of this Fourth Amendment, and Tenant and Landlord each agree to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claims, damages, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees or liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or other similar party by reason of any dealings, actions or agreements of the indemnifying party.

27. Counterparts. This Fourth Amendment may be executed in counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed an original, and all counterparts shall be deemed the same instrument with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same signature page.

28. Delivery of Amendment. Preparation of this Fourth Amendment by Landlord or Landlord’s agent and submission of same to Tenant shall not be deemed an offer by Landlord to enter into this Fourth Amendment. This Fourth Amendment shall become binding upon Landlord only when fully executed by all parties and when Landlord has delivered a fully executed original of this Fourth Amendment to Tenant. The delivery of this Fourth Amendment to Tenant shall not constitute an agreement by Landlord to negotiate in good faith, and Landlord expressly disclaims any legal obligation to negotiate in good faith.

[signature page follows]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereby execute this Fourth Amendment as of the date first written above.

WORK LETTER AGREEMENT

This Work Letter Agreement (“Work Letter Agreement”) is attached to a Fourth Amendment to Lease (the “Fourth Amendment”) entered into between The Realty Associates Fund VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”), and Mitek Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), covering certain premises (the “Premises”) more particularly described in the Fourth Amendment, and is incorporated into the Fourth Amendment by this reference.

1. Tenant Improvements and Landlord’s Work.

1.1 Tenant Improvements. For purposes of this Work Letter Agreement, the “Improvements” shall mean the improvements to the Premises described on the Final Construction Drawings (as defined below). All Improvements made to the Premises shall be performed by Tenant. Subject to the reimbursement limitations set forth in Section 2.2 below, the Improvements shall be reimbursed by Landlord from the Improvement Allowance (as defined below) or shall be paid for by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. The Improvements to be constructed by Tenant shall include, but shall not be limited to, demolition, concrete work, iron work, rough and finish carpentry, insulation, sheet metal, glass and glazing, doors, door frames and hardware, dry wall, acoustical ceiling, flooring, painting and wall coverings, accessories and partitions, kitchen equipment, fire extinguishers and cabinets, window coverings, plumbing, Tenant’s Separate HVAC Units and related ducting and wiring, any tenant modifications to the existing ducting and plenums of the Premises associated with the Landlord HVAC Units, relocation of existing and installation of new fire sprinkler heads, electrical, prefabricated partitions, telephone and security systems, cabling systems, final clean-up and labor, miscellaneous specialties, planning, engineering, plan checking, permitting, architectural and other design costs, general contractor and subcontractor general conditions, overhead and profit, moving and insurance costs and the cost of the Tenant’s Project Manager; provided, however, that in no event shall the Improvements or the cost of the Improvements to be paid by Tenant (or reimbursed by Landlord from the Improvement Allowance) include the cost of replacing any of the Landlord HVAC Units that are In Need of Replacement (as determined in accordance with Section 14 of the Fourth Amendment), any cost of bringing the Building structure, or any of the common areas of the Building or Project, into compliance with any building code or municipal, state or federal laws, which compliance is required as a condition of Tenant’s requested permits for the Improvements generally, and not as a result of the particular design or specifications of the Improvements. As provided in Section 13 of the Fourth Amendment, in the event any of the Common Areas of the Project are not in compliance with the ADA or any other handicap regulations, and as a condition of any permit required for the construction of the Improvements in the Premises, the applicable permitting authority requires that any portion of the common areas of the Project or the common area bathrooms servicing Suite 150 be brought into compliance with such handicap regulations, Landlord shall cause such compliance obligations to be satisfied at Landlord’s cost and expense (which may be included in Direct Costs to the extent permitted under the Lease), and not as part of the costs to be paid by Tenant or reimbursed from the Improvement Allowance. If, however, in constructing the Improvements in the Premises, any existing improvements within the Premises (other than those included in the Landlord Work, as hereinafter defined) are required to be brought into compliance with such handicap regulations, then the cost of such compliance shall be included in the cost of the Improvements, and shall be paid for by Tenant subject to reimbursement by Landlord from the Improvement Allowance (not to exceed such amount).

1.2 Landlord’s Work. The costs and expenses of ADA compliance of the common area bathrooms servicing ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, and of the common areas of the Project, and the costs and expenses of the Landlord HVAC Report and the replacement of any Landlord HVAC Units in need of replacement as recommended by the HVAC Contractor who prepares the Landlord HVAC Report (collectively, the “Landlord’s Work”), shall be performed by Landlord at its sole cost and expense and shall not be included in the cost of Improvements to the Premises to be funded from the Improvement Allowance; provided, however, that Landlord may arrange, at Landlord’s option, for the Landlord’s Work inside the Premises, including, but not limited to, ADA compliance of the bathrooms of Suite 150 to be designed by Tenant’s Architect and constructed by Tenant’s Contractor as an alternative bid included in the Contractor’s general contract, but subject to a separate payment agreement with Landlord for the direct payment for such Landlord’s Work in the Premises.

2. Tenant Improvement Allowance.

2.1 Use.

(a) Initial Allowance. Tenant shall be entitled to an Improvement Allowance (the “Improvement Allowance”) in a total amount equal to $675,690.00. The Improvement Allowance shall be used, subject to the limitations set forth in this section and Section 2.2 below, to reimburse Tenant for the actual out-of-pocket costs it pays to unrelated third parties for the initial design and construction of the Improvements. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements for the Improvements, pursuant to this Work Letter Agreement, in a total amount which exceeds the Improvement Allowance.

(b) Unused Allowance. Any portion of the Improvement Allowance that has not been expended on or before the first anniversary of the Extended Term Commencement Date shall be retained by Landlord, and Tenant shall have no further right to the use of such unused portion of the Improvement Allowance for any purpose.

2.2 Disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

(a) Tenant Improvement Allowance Items. The Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord only for the following items and costs (collectively the “Improvement Allowance Items”):

(i) Payment of the fees of the “Architect,” the “Engineers,” and the “Tenant’s Project Manager,” as those terms are defined in Section 3 of this Work Letter Agreement;

(ii) The payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Improvements;

(iii) The cost of the construction of the Improvements, including, without limitation, testing and inspection costs, trash removal costs, and contractors’ fees and general conditions; provided, however, in no event shall the Improvement Allowance be used to pay any cost associated with the design, purchasing or installation of furniture, fixtures or equipment (collectively, “FF&E”), and all costs of Tenant’s FF&E shall be paid by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole expense;

(iv) The cost of any changes to the Final Construction Drawings (as that term is defined in Section 3.3 of this Work Letter Agreement) or Improvements required by any governmental agency; and

(v) Sales and use taxes and Title 24 fees.

(b) Disbursement. During the construction of the Improvements, Landlord shall make disbursements of the Improvement Allowance for Improvement Allowance Items and shall release monies as follows:

(i) Disbursements. Not more often than once in any thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall disburse to Tenant monies from the Improvement Allowance. Prior to Landlord making a disbursement, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (A) a request for payment, approved by Tenant, in a form which is reasonably acceptable to Landlord which shows the percentage of completion by trade of the Improvements; (B) invoices from all of Tenant’s Agents (as defined below), for services provided, labor rendered, materials delivered and the related Contractor’s fee, along with general conditions and overhead amounts, and the Project Manager Fee, with respect to such payment request in an amount not less than the amount of the Improvement Allowance Tenant has requested be reimbursed; (C) a copy of an executed unconditional mechanic’s lien releases from Tenant’s Contractor (as hereinafter defined), complying with the appropriate provisions of California Civil Code Section 3262(d)(2), and copies of conditional mechanic’s lien releases from all of Tenant’s subcontractors and materialmen which shall comply with the appropriate provisions of California Civil Code Section 3262(d)(1) for the amounts invoiced by Contractor in the applicable payment request; (D) copies of unconditional mechanic’s lien releases from all of Tenant’s subcontractors and

materialmen, which shall comply with the appropriate provisions of California Civil Code Section 3262(d)(2), for those amounts invoiced by Contractor for payment to such subcontractors or materialmen in the previous payment request; and (E) all other information reasonably requested by Landlord in advance of such request (the foregoing request and related materials are hereinafter sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Reimbursement Package”). Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord has received the Reimbursement Package including all of the required information set forth above, Landlord shall deliver a check to Tenant in an amount equal to the actual monies paid by Tenant to Tenant’s Agents with respect to such payment request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse to Tenant the last ten percent (10%) of the Improvement Allowance until the requirements of Section 2.2(b)(ii) have satisfied and Tenant has received a certificate of occupancy for the Premises (the “Final Reimbursement”).

(ii) Final Completion. Within thirty (30) days after the Improvements have been completed, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (A) properly executed mechanics lien releases in compliance with California Civil Code Section 3262(d)(4); and (B) a certificate from the Architect, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, certifying that the construction of the Improvements in the Premises has been substantially completed. Within fifteen (15) days after receiving the foregoing information, Landlord shall reimburse to Tenant any additional costs of constructing the Improvements to the extent not previously paid for in accordance with (i) above.

3. Space Plan and Construction Drawings.

3.1 Space Plan; Tenant’s Project Manager. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a space plan that has been prepared by M. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Studio Interiors (the “Architect”), which is acceptable to Landlord and Tenant (the “Space Plan”). Without limiting any future payments to Architect for the work of designing the improvements, Tenant may use up to $20,270.70 of the unused portion of the Improvement Allowance to reimburse Architect for the Space Plan immediately following the full execution of the Fourth Amendment. Tenant shall provide to Landlord bills, invoices and other information reasonably acceptable to Landlord to document monies paid by Tenant to the Architect from time to time during the design and construction of the Improvements. Additionally, Tenant has retained ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of Integrated Project Management, LLC as Tenant’s construction project manager for the Improvements, who shall receive a construction management fee of three percent (3%) of the cost of the Improvements (the “Project Manager Fee,” provided that the Project Manager Fee that may be reimbursed from the Improvement Allowance shall not exceed three percent (3%) of the Improvement Allowance). The Project Manager Fee shall be reimbursed from the Improvement Allowance in the amount of three percent (3%) of all other amounts invoiced to Tenant as set forth in each Reimbursement Package, as provided in Section 2.2(b) above.

3.2 Construction Drawings. Tenant shall retain engineering consultants (the “Engineers”) that are reasonably acceptable to Landlord to prepare all plans and engineering drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life safety, and sprinkler work in the Premises (exclusive of the Landlord’s Work). The plans and specifications to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the “Construction Drawings.” Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions of the Premises and the conditions at the Premises, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith. Landlord shall have the right to approve the Construction Drawings in Landlord’s reasonable discretion; provided that Landlord shall either approve or reasonably disapprove and provide the reasons for disapproval in writing to Tenant within ten (10) business days of receiving the Construction Drawings for Landlord’s approval, and Landlord’s failure to timely deliver such written response to Tenant with either Landlord’s approval or its reasons for disapproval shall be deemed to mean that Landlord approves the Construction Drawings without modification. Landlord’s review of the Construction Drawings are for its sole benefit and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant or Tenant’s Agents arising out of or based on Landlord’s review. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant or Tenant’s Agents by Landlord or Landlord’s space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors arising therefrom.

3.3 Preparation of Final Construction Drawings. Tenant shall promptly cause the Architect and the Engineers to complete the Construction Drawings which shall be comprised of a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a form which will allow Tenant to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the “Final Construction Drawings”) and shall submit three (3) copies of the Final Construction Drawings to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing, within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Final Construction Drawings for the Improvements, if the same are unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect and the reasons for such determination and changes required to obtain Landlord’s approval of the Final Construction Drawings. If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly revise the Final Construction Drawings to reflect Landlord’s comments. Landlord’s failure to timely deliver Landlord’s written disapproval of the Final Construction Drawings along with its reasons for such disapproval and the changes required for Landlord’s approval shall be deemed to mean that Landlord approves the Final Construction Drawings without modification

3.4 Permits and Changes. The Final Construction Drawings shall be approved by Landlord prior to the commencement of construction of the Improvements. After approval by Landlord of the Final Construction Drawings, Tenant shall submit the same to the appropriate governmental agencies in order to obtain all applicable building permits. Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any building permits or a certificate of occupancy for the Premises except as required for Landlord’s Work, and that except as required for the Landlord’s Work, obtaining the same shall be Tenant’s sole responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such permits or certificate of occupancy. Except as required to satisfy the permit requirements of the City of San Diego, no changes, modifications or alterations in the Final Construction Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

4. Construction of Tenant Improvements.

4.1 Tenant’s Selection of Contractors.

(a) Tenant shall select a qualified general contractor for the Construction of the Improvements (the “Contractor”). The Contractor shall be experienced in the construction of tenant improvements similar to the Improvements in similar buildings under similar circumstances. In addition, the Contractor shall be financially solvent and, if reasonably requested by Landlord, shall provide a completion bond for the construction of the Improvements. If Landlord requests a completion bond, such bond will be paid by the Landlord at its sole cost and expense, and not from the Improvement Allowance. Landlord shall have the right to approve the Contractor, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion; provided that if Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a list of one or more Contractors to whom Tenant intends to submit the Construction Drawings as part of Tenant’s requests for proposals or solicitation of negotiated bids (the “Contractor List”), then Tenant may rely upon Landlord’s pre-approval of any of the contractors set forth in such Landlord-approved (or deemed approved) Contractor List in retaining the Contractor from such list without separate Landlord approval of the Contractor so selected. If Landlord fails to approve or disapprove any of the contractors on Contractor List within five (5) business days after Tenant provides such list to Landlord, with all of the information Landlord has reasonably requested concerning one or more of the contractors listed on the Contractor List, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved all of the contractors contained on such list from whom the Contractor may be selected by Tenant.

(b) Tenant’s Agents. All subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers used by Tenant (such subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers, along with the Architect, Tenant’s Project Manager, Engineers and the Contractor to be known collectively as “Tenant’s Agents”) shall be subject to Tenant’s selection as part of its negotiations with the prospective Contractor for the cost of Improvements. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Landlord shall have the right to designate, at the time of Landlord’s approval of the Contractor List those subcontractors which may perform any alterations to the Building’s existing electrical, plumbing, life, fire and safety systems and any alterations to the roof (the “Landlord Designated Subcontractors”). All of Tenant’s Agents shall be properly licensed by the state of California and shall be experienced in performing the work they have agreed to perform in similar

buildings. If Landlord does not designate a person or entity as one of the Landlord Designated Subcontractors within five (5)business days after Tenant provides the Contractor List to Landlord, then Landlord shall not later designate such person or entity as a Landlord Designated Subcontractor.

4.2 Construction of Tenant Improvements by Tenant’s Agents.

(a) Construction Contract. Prior to Tenant’s execution of the construction contract with Contractor (the “Contract”), Tenant shall submit the Contract to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall approve the Contract, or provide its reasons for disapproval of the Contract, in writing to Tenant within five (5) business days after Landlord receives the Contract from Tenant. Landlord’s failure to timely deliver its reasons for disapproving the Contract to Tenant shall be deemed to mean that Landlord approves the Contract without modification

(b) Tenant’s Agents.

(i) Indemnity. Tenant’s indemnification set forth in the Lease, as amended by the Fourth Amendment, shall also apply with respect to any and all damages, cost, loss or expense (including attorneys fees) related in any way to any act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, or anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or in connection with Tenant’s non-payment of any amount arising out of the Improvements. By way of example, and not limitation, Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord from any Damages to the Premises caused by the actions of the persons constructing the Improvements (subject however, to the Landlord’s waiver of subrogation and loss or damages covered by landlord’s insurance policies contained in Section 14(d) of the Lease).

(ii) Warranty. Each of Tenant’s Agents shall guarantee to Tenant and for the benefit of Landlord that the portion of the Improvements for which it is responsible shall be free from any defects in workmanship and materials for a period of not less than one (1) year from the completion of the Improvements. The correction of any defective work shall include, without additional charge, all additional expenses and damages incurred in connection with the removal or replacement of all or any part of the Improvements, and/or any other Building improvements that may be damaged or disturbed thereby. All such warranties or guarantees shall be contained in the Contract or applicable subcontract and shall inure to the benefit of both Landlord and Tenant. Tenant covenants to give to Landlord any assignment or other assurances which may be necessary to effect such right of direct enforcement.

(iii) Insurance Requirements.

(A) General Coverages. All of Tenant’s Agents shall carry worker’s compensation insurance covering all of their respective employees, and shall also carry public liability insurance, including property damage, all with limits, in form and with companies as are reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant’s Agents shall not be entitled to satisfy their insurance obligations through self-insurance.

(B) Special Coverages. Tenant shall carry “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in an amount approved by Landlord covering the construction of the Improvements, and such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, it being understood and agreed that the Improvements shall be insured by Tenant during the construction period and throughout the term of the Lease, as amended by the Fourth Amendment. Such insurance shall be in amounts and shall include such extended coverage endorsements as may be reasonably required by Landlord. Such insurance shall be subject to reimbursement by Landlord from the Improvement Allowance.

(C) General Terms. Certificates for all insurance carried pursuant to this section shall be delivered to Landlord before the commencement of construction of the Improvements and before any equipment is moved onto the site. All such policies of insurance shall name Landlord and its property manager as an additional insured and must contain a provision that the company writing the policy will give Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice of any cancellation or lapse of the effective date or any reduction in the amounts of such insurance. In the event that the Improvements are damaged by any cause during the course of the construction thereof, Tenant shall immediately repair the same at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant’s Agents shall maintain all of the foregoing insurance coverage in force until all of the Improvements are fully completed. All insurance, except Worker’s

Compensation, maintained by Tenant’s Agents shall preclude subrogation claims by the insurer against Landlord or Tenant. Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance as respects Landlord and that any other insurance maintained by Landlord is excess and noncontributing with the insurance required hereunder. The requirements for the foregoing insurance shall not limit Tenant’s indemnification obligations under this Work Letter Agreement.

(c) Compliance With Laws and Other Landlord Requirements. The Improvements shall comply in all respects with the following: (i) all applicable building codes, laws and regulations; (ii) applicable standards of the American Insurance Association (formerly, the National Board of Fire Underwriters); and (iii) building material manufacturer’s specifications. In addition, Tenant’s Agents shall comply with all of Landlord’s rules, regulations and procedures concerning the construction of improvements in the Building and access to the Building as set forth on Exhibit 2 to this Work Letter (collectively, the “Construction Procedures”), and if any Tenant Agent fails to comply with the Construction Procedures after Landlord has provided the Tenant Agent with written notice of its non-compliance, Landlord shall have the right to prohibit such Tenant Agent from performing any further work in the Building until such non-compliance is remedied to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant due to any interruption of the Tenant’s work caused by such prohibition. Tenant’s Agents shall not perform any construction work that might reasonably be expected to disturb any tenant on the second floor of the Building during the Normal Building Hours. Tenant and Tenant’s Agents shall not have the right, at any time, to disrupt any Building service (e.g., HVAC, electrical, plumbing etc.) to the Common Areas or to another tenant’s premises. Tenant and Tenant’s Agents shall only store construction materials inside the Premises and Tenant’s Agents shall not dispose of their refuse or construction materials in the Project’s trash receptacles. Tenant and Tenant’s Agents shall take whatever precautions Landlord may reasonably prescribe to protect the Project from damages due to such activities. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of repairing any damage to the Project caused by the movement of construction materials and FF&E into the Building (e.g., damage to carpet, walls, doors, elevators etc.).

(d) Inspection by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to inspect the Improvements at all reasonable times, with advance notice to Tenant and without interfering with the progress of the Tenant’s construction work; provided however, that Landlord’s inspection of the Improvements shall not constitute Landlord’s approval of the Improvements unless Landlord fails to timely disapprove of the Improvements following such inspection. Should Landlord reasonably disapprove any portion of the Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such disapproval no later than five (5) days following the Landlord’s inspection in which such disapproved condition is first disclosed to Landlord, and shall specify in reasonable detail the items disapproved. Any defects in the Improvements timely disapproved by Landlord pursuant to this Section 4.2(d) shall be rectified by Tenant at no expense to Landlord; and any Improvements that Landlord does not timely disapprove following any Landlord inspection shall be deemed approved. Neither Landlord nor any of its employees or agents, nor any property manager, shall have the right to receive any compensation, fee or reimbursement for its costs performing any inspections of the Improvements or in providing any approvals or disapprovals of the Improvements hereunder, or otherwise as a result of the Tenant’s construction of the Improvements or the Landlord’s performance of the Landlord’s Work.

(e) Notice of Non-Responsibility. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the date Tenant intends to first commence construction of the Improvements (and not more than ten (10) days after Landlord’s approval or deemed approval of the Contract), Landlord shall have the right to post a notice of non-responsibility at the Premises; provided that Landlord’s failure to do so shall not delay Tenant’s commencement of the Improvements.

4.3 Notice of Completion; Copy of Record Set of Plans. Within thirty (30) business days after completion of construction of the Improvements, and as a condition to Landlord’s Final Reimbursement of the Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the County Recorder for the County in which the Premises is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and shall furnish a copy thereof to Landlord upon such recordation. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may execute and file the same on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s agent for such purpose, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. At the conclusion of construction, and as a condition to Landlord’s Final Reimbursement of the Improvement Allowance, (a) Tenant shall cause the Architect and Contractor (i) to update the Final Construction Drawings as necessary to

reflect all changes made to the Final Construction Drawings during the course of construction, (ii) to certify to the best of their knowledge that the “record-set” of as-built drawings are true and correct and (iii) to deliver to Landlord two (2) sets of copies of such record set of drawings, and (b) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all warranties, guaranties, and operating manuals and information relating to the improvements, equipment, and systems in the Premises.

5. Completion. Subject to the performance by Landlord of its obligations with respect to the funding of the Improvement Allowance, Tenant agrees to cause the Improvements to be paid for, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall be primarily obligated to complete the construction of the Improvements, and the failure of Tenant’s Agents to perform their obligations with respect to the construction of the Improvements shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to complete the construction of the Improvements. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to pay Basic Rental, Direct Costs and other amounts due under the Lease, as amended by the Fourth Amendment, as of the Extended Term Commencement Date is not conditioned on Tenant’s completion of the Improvements prior to the Extended Term Commencement Date or at any other time. Consequently, Tenant shall be obligated to pay Basic Rental, Direct Costs, utilities and other amounts due under the Lease, as amended by the Fourth Amendment, from and after the Extended Term Commencement Date, even though Tenant is unable to occupy or use the Premises on the Extended Term Commencement Date due to its failure to complete the Improvements on or before the Extended Term Commencement Date. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s Agents will construct the Improvements while Tenant occupies the Premises, that the construction of the Improvements will prevent Tenant from using all or part of the Premises from time to time and that the construction of the Improvements will create noise dust and debris that will interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no right to any abatement of rent or to recover any other damages from Landlord due to its inability to use the all or portions of the Premises while the Improvements are being completed or due to interference with its business operations caused by such construction.

6. Miscellaneous.

6.1 Tenant’s Representative. Tenant has designated the Tenant’s Project Manager as its sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Work Letter Agreement, and, until further notice to Landlord, Tenant’s representative shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Tenant as required in this Work Letter Agreement.

6.2 Landlord’s Representative. Landlord has designated ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as its sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Work Letter Agreement, and until further notice to Tenant, Landlord’s representative shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Landlord as required in this Work Letter Agreement.

6.3 Time of the Essence. Unless otherwise indicated, all references herein to a “number of days” shall mean and refer to calendar days. If any item requiring approval is timely disapproved by Landlord, the procedure for preparation of the document and approval thereof shall be repeated until the document is approved by Landlord.

6.4 Tenant’s Default. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease, as amended by the Fourth Amendment, if Tenant commits a default as defined in Article 19 of the Original Lease, and fails to cure such default during the applicable cure period, if any, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to withhold payment of all or any portion of the Improvement Allowance, and (b) Landlord shall have no other obligations under the terms of this Work Letter Agreement, until such time as such default is cured pursuant to the terms of the Lease. The failure of Tenant to perform any of its obligations under this Work Letter Agreement shall constitute a default under Article 19(b) of the Original Lease.
