ARTICLE III.

Section 3.1 Rental Payments.

(a) Base Rent. Commencing on the Commencement Date for the Premises and continuing thereafter throughout the Term, Tenant shall pay the Base Rent described in this paragraph, which is due and payable each Lease Year during the Term hereof in twelve (12) equal installments on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Term, and Tenant shall make such installments to Landlord at Landlord’s address specified in this Lease (or such other address as may be designated by Landlord from time to time) monthly in advance. Base Rent during the Term for the Premises shall be as follows:

Term	Premises	Base Rent Per Rentable Square Foot	Total Base Rent	Base Rent Monthly
1/1/06—2/28/06	400, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 200, 300, 305, 310	$ 17.54	$ 761,744.66	$ 63,478.72
3/1/06—12/31/06	400, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 200, 300, 305, 310	$ 17.54	$ 819,924.84	$ 68,327.07
1/1/07-12/31/15	400, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 200, 300, 305, 310	$ 18.34	$ 857,321.64	$ 71,443.47
1/1/16—12/31/20	400, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 200, 300, 305, 310	95% Fair Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit C, Special Stipulations)

The foregoing Base Rent includes the Expense Stop. So long as Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, in the event Tenant has paid Landlord any Prepaid Rent such Prepaid Rent shall be applied to the first (1st) monthly installment of Base Rent due hereunder.

(b) Partial Month. If the Commencement Date is other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month or if this Lease expires or terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the installments of Base Rent for such

month or months shall be prorated based upon multiplying the applicable Base Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days of the Term occurring during said commencement or termination month, as the case may be, and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in such month.

(c) Payment; Late Charge; Past Due Rate. The Base Rent, the Additional Rent (hereinafter defined), any Prepaid Rent and any and all other payments which Tenant is obligated to make to Landlord under this Lease shall constitute and are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as “Rent.” Tenant shall pay all Rent and other sums of money as shall become due from and payable by Tenant to Landlord in lawful money of the United States of America at the times and in the manner provided in this Lease, without demand, deduction, abatement, setoff, counterclaim or prior notice. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment to Landlord of Rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. If any Rent or other sum due from Tenant is not received on or before its due date, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord immediately upon Landlord’s demand therefor a late charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount plus any attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent and other charges when due hereunder. Additionally, all Rent under this Lease shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) or the maximum non-usurious rate of interest then permitted by the applicable laws of the state in which the Building is located or the United States of America, whichever shall permit the higher non-usurious rate, such interest being in addition to and cumulative of any other rights and remedies which Landlord may have with regard to the failure of Tenant to make any such payments under this Lease.

Section 3.2 Additional Rent.

(a) Definitions:

(i) “Base Operating Expenses” is calculated by multiplying the Expense Stop by the Rentable Area of the Premises. At the applicable Commencement Date for each suite under this Lease, and in the event that this Lease is later modified to further increase or to decrease the amount of rentable square feet in the Premises demised hereby, the total amount of Base Operating Expenses shall be adjusted, as appropriate, based upon the Expense Stop, to reflect the new square footage of the Premises unless the amendment or other written agreement modifying this Lease specifies otherwise.

(ii) “Operating Expenses” means all expenses, costs and disbursements of every kind and nature relating to or incurred or paid in connection with the ownership and operation of the Project computed on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, including but not limited to the following:

(A) wages and salaries of all persons engaged in the operation, maintenance, security or access control of the Project including all taxes, insurance and benefits relating thereto;

(B) the cost of all supplies, tools, equipment and materials used in the operation and maintenance of the Project including rental fees for the same, if such items are not purchased and amortized pursuant to this Section 3.2 below;

(C) the cost of all utilities for the Project, including but not limited to the cost of water and power, heating, lighting, air conditioning and ventilating (excluding those costs billed to specific tenants) of the Building and Project;

(D) the cost of all maintenance and service agreements for the Project and the equipment therein, including but not limited to alarm service, security service, access control, landscaping, window cleaning, pest control, elevator maintenance and janitorial service;

(E) the cost of repairs and general maintenance, excluding (y) repairs and general maintenance paid by proceeds of insurance, by Tenant or by other third parties, and (z) alterations attributable solely to tenants of the Building;

(F) amortization (together with reasonable financing charges) of the cost of capital investment items which are installed for the purpose of reducing operating expenses, promoting safety, complying with governmental requirements or maintaining the quality of the Building;

(G) the cost of all insurance relating to the Project including, but not limited to, the cost of property insurance, casualty, rental loss and liability insurance applicable to the Project and Landlord’s personal property used in connection therewith and the cost of deductibles paid on claims made by Landlord;

(H) Landlord’s and/or Landlord’s managing agent’s accounting and audit costs and attorneys’ fees applicable to the Project;

(I) all property management fees for the Project; and

(J) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges, whether or not directly paid by Landlord, whether federal, state, county or municipal and whether they are imposed by taxing districts or authorities currently taxing the Project or by others subsequently created or otherwise, and any other taxes and assessments, assessed against or attributable to the Project or its operation, excluding, however, federal and state taxes on income, death taxes, franchise taxes and any taxes imposed or measured on or by the income of Landlord from the operation of the Project or

imposed in connection with any change of ownership of the Project together with the reasonable cost (including attorneys, consultants and appraisers) of any negotiation, contest or appeal pursued by Landlord in an effort to reduce any such tax, assessment or charge, and all of Landlord’s administrative costs in relation to the foregoing (“Real Estate Taxes”); provided, however, that if at any time during the Term the present method of taxation or assessment shall be so changed that the whole or any part of the taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges now levied, assessed or imposed on real estate and the improvements thereof shall be changed and as a substitute therefor, or in lieu of or in addition thereto, taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges shall be levied, assessed or imposed wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise on the rents received from the Project or the rents reserved herein or any part thereof, then such substitute or additional taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges, to the extent so levied, assessed or imposed, shall be deemed to be included within the Real Estate Taxes to the extent that such substitute or additional tax would be payable if the Project were the only property of the Landlord subject to such tax.

(iii) “Adjustment Period” means each calendar year occurring during the Term beginning with calendar year 2005, which shall be the first Adjustment Period.

(iv) “Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” means the percentage calculated by dividing the rentable area of the Premises (numerator) by the rentable area of the Building (denominator), and expressing the fraction as a percentage.

(b) Gross-Up Adjustment if the Building is less than fully occupied or if Building Standard Landlord Services are not provided to the entire Building during any Adjustment Period, then Operating Expenses for such Adjustment Period shall be “grossed up” by Landlord to that amount of Operating Expenses that using reasonable projections, would normally be expected to be incurred during the Adjustment Period if the Building was ninety-five percent (95%) occupied and receiving Building Standard Landlord Services during the Adjustment Period, as determined under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

(c) Payment by Tenant. If Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses for any Adjustment Period exceeds the Base Operating Expenses (any such excess being known collectively as the “Expense Increase”), then Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as additional rent (the “Additional Rent”) such Expense Increase.

(d) Manner of Payment.

(i) Landlord may give Tenant notice of Landlord’s estimate of amounts payable under this Section 3.2 for each Adjustment Period based upon generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. By the first day of each month during the Adjustment Period, Tenant shall pay Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated amount. If for any reason the estimate is not given before the Adjustment Period begins, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of the previous year’s estimate, if any, until the month after the new estimate is given.

(ii) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after each Adjustment Period ends, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practical, Landlord shall give Tenant a statement (the “Statement”) showing the: (A) actual Operating Expenses for the Adjustment Period; (B) Base Operating Expenses; (C) the Expense Increase for the Adjustment Period; (D) the amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Expense Increase; (E) the amount if any, paid by Tenant during the Adjustment Period towards the Expense Increase; and (F) the amount Tenant owes towards the Expense Increase or the amount Landlord owes as a refund. Delay by Landlord in providing to Tenant any Statement shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to pay any Expense Increase upon the rendering of such Statements.

(iii) If the Statement shows that the actual amount Tenant owes for the Adjustment Period is less than any estimated Expense Increase paid by Tenant during the Adjustment Period, Landlord shall return the difference (the “Overpayment”). If the Statement shows that the actual amount Tenant owes is more than any estimated Expense Increase paid by Tenant during the Adjustment Period, Tenant shall pay the difference (the “Underpayment”). The Overpayment or Underpayment shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Statement is delivered to Tenant.

(iv) During any Adjustment Period in which this Lease is not in effect for a complete calendar year, unless it was ended due to Tenant’s default, Tenant’s obligation for Additional Rent for those Adjustment Periods shall be prorated by multiplying the Additional Rent for the Adjustment Period by a fraction expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of days of the Adjustment Period included in the Term and the denominator of which is 365.

Section 3.3 Security Deposit. As security for its full and faithful performance of this Lease, Tenant has paid to Landlord and Landlord acknowledges receipt of a security deposit in the amount of Twenty Four Thousand Seven Hundred Two and 13/100 Dollars ($24,702.13) (the “Security Deposit”), which Security Deposit is currently being held by Landlord under the Prior Lease. If Tenant defaults with respect to any covenant or condition of this Lease, including but not limited to the payment of Rent or any other payment due under this Lease, Landlord may apply all or any part of the Security Deposit to the payment of any sum in default or any other sum which Landlord may be required to or deem necessary to spend or incur by reason of Tenant’s default. In such event, Tenant shall, upon demand, deposit with Landlord the amount so applied to replenish the Security Deposit. Within thirty (30) days of the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Landlord will refund Tenant the Security Deposit less any amounts necessary to cure any default of Tenant under this Lease.

ARTICLE IV.

Section 4.1 Services.

(a) Services Provided. So long as no default by Tenant under this Lease has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant while Tenant is occupying the Premises:

(i) Hot and cold domestic water in common use restrooms and toilets in locations provided for general use and as reasonably deemed by Landlord to be in keeping with the Project standards.

(ii) Heating and air conditioning in season from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, excluding the hereinafter defined Holidays, subject to curtailment as required by governmental laws, rules or regulations, in such amounts as are considered by Landlord to be standard, but such service at times during weekdays other than the hours stated above, and on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays, shall be furnished only upon request of Tenant and for such service Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand an amount equal to the rate Landlord at that time is charging for such service.

(iii) Electric lighting service for all public areas and special service areas of the Building in the manner and to the extent deemed by Landlord to be standard.

(iv) Janitor service on a five (5) day week basis in a manner considered by Landlord to be standard; provided, however, if Tenant’s floor coverings or other improvements require special care, Tenant shall pay the additional cleaning cost attributable thereto. In the event that Tenant elects to provide its own janitorial services to the Premises or any specific Suite within the Premises, Landlord shall ensure that the Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses is appropriately credited for the amounts not expended by Landlord.

(v) Access control for the Project comparable as to coverage, control and responsiveness (but not necessarily as to means for accomplishing same) to other similarly situated multi-tenant office buildings in the vicinity; provided, however, Landlord shall have no responsibility to prevent and shall not be liable to Tenant for, any liability or loss to Tenant its agents, employees and visitors arising out of losses due to theft, burglary, or damage or injury to persons or property caused by persons gaining access to the Premises, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from all liability for such losses, damages or injury.

(vi) Sufficient electrical capacity to operate (i) incandescent lights, typewriters, calculating machines, photocopying machines and other machines of similar low voltage electrical consumption (120/208 volts), provided that the total rated electrical design load for said lighting and machines of low electrical voltage shall not exceed two (2.00) ▇▇▇▇▇ per square foot of rentable area; and (ii) lighting and equipment of high voltage electrical consumption (277/480 volts), provided that the total rated electrical design load for said lighting and equipment of high electrical voltage shall not exceed two (2.00) ▇▇▇▇▇ per square foot of rentable area (each such rated electrical design load to be hereinafter referred to as the “Building Standard rated electrical design load”). Tenant shall be allocated Tenant’s pro rata share of the Building Standard circuits provided on the floor(s) Tenant occupies.

Should Tenant’s fully connected electrical design load exceed the Building Standard rated electrical design load for either low or high voltage electrical consumption, or if Tenant’s electrical design requires low voltage or high voltage circuits in excess of Tenant’s share of the Building Standard circuits, Landlord will (at Tenant’s expense) install one (1) additional high voltage panel and/or one (1) additional low voltage panel with associated transformer, space for which has been provided in the base building electrical closets based on a maximum of two (2) such additional panels per floor for all tenants on the floor (which additional panels and transformers shall be hereinafter referred to as the “additional electrical equipment”). If the additional electrical equipment is installed because Tenant’s low or high voltage rated electrical design load exceeds the applicable Building Standard rated electrical design load, then a meter shall also be added (at Tenant’s expense) to measure the electricity used through the additional electrical equipment. For purposes herein “Building Standard” means the quantity and quality of materials, finishes, and workmanship from time to time specified as such by Landlord for the Building.

The design and installation of any additional electrical equipment (or related meter) required by Tenant shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). All expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the review and approval of any additional electrical equipment shall also be reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant. Tenant shall also pay on demand the actual metered cost of electricity consumed through the additional electrical equipment (if applicable), plus any actual accounting expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the metering thereof.

If any of Tenant’s electrical equipment requires conditioned air in excess of Building Standard air conditioning, the same shall be installed by Landlord (on Tenant’s behalf), and Tenant shall pay all design, installation, metering and operating costs relating thereto.

If Tenant requires that certain areas within the Premises must operate in excess of the normal Building operating hours set forth above, the electrical service to such areas shall be separately circuited and metered by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense such that Tenant shall be billed the costs associated with electricity consumed during hours other than Building operating hours.

(vii) All fluorescent bulb and ballast replacement for Building Standard lighting in all areas and all incandescent bulb replacement in public areas, toilet and restroom areas and stairwells.

(viii) Nonexclusive operatorless passenger elevator service to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day; provided, that Landlord may reasonably limit the number of elevators in operation on weekdays after normal business hours and on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays.

(b) Cessation of Services. To the extent the services described in Section 4.1(a) of this Lease require electricity, gas and water supplied by public utilities, Landlord’s covenants thereunder shall only impose on Landlord the obligation to use its best efforts to cause the applicable public utilities to furnish the same. Failure by Landlord to furnish the services described in this Section 4.1 to any extent, or any cessation thereof, shall not render Landlord in default hereunder or liable in any respect for damages to either person or property, or be construed as an eviction of Tenant or work an abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof. In addition to the foregoing, should any of the equipment or machinery break down, cease to function properly for any cause, or be intentionally turned off for testing or maintenance purposes, Tenant shall have no claim for abatement or reduction of Rent or damages on account of an interruption in service occasioned thereby or resulting there from; provided, however, Landlord agrees to use diligent efforts to repair said equipment or machinery and to restore said services.

(c) Holidays. The following dates shall collectively be known as “Holidays” and individually known as a “Holiday”: New Year’s Day; Memorial Day; Independence Day; Labor Day; Thanksgiving Day; Friday following
Thanksgiving Day; Christmas Day; and any other holiday recognized and taken by tenants occupying at least one-half
(1/2) of the rentable area of office space of the Building. If in the case of any Holiday, a different day shall be observed
than the respective day above described, then that day which constitutes the day observed by national banks in the city or
proximate area in which the Building is located, on account of such Holiday, shall constitute the Holiday under this Lease.

Section 4.2 Keys and Locks. Landlord shall initially furnish Tenant with a reasonable number of keys for the standard corridor doors serving the Premises. Additional keys will be furnished by Landlord upon an order signed by Tenant and at Tenant’s expense. All such keys shall remain the property of Landlord. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, no additional locks shall be allowed on any door of the Premises, and Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any duplicate keys, except those furnished by Landlord. Upon termination or expiration of this Lease or a termination of possession of the Premises by Tenant, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord all keys to any locks on doors entering or within the Premises.

Section 4.3 Graphics and Building Directory.

ARTICLE V

Section 5.1 Occupancy of Premises. Tenant shall throughout the Term of this Lease, at its own expense, maintain the Premises and all improvements thereon and keep them free from waste, damage or nuisance, and shall deliver up the Premises in a clean and sanitary condition at the expiration or termination of this Lease or the termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises by Tenant in good repair and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. In the event Tenant should neglect to maintain and/or return the Premises in such manner, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause repairs or corrections to be made, and any reasonable costs therefor shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days of demand therefor by Landlord. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease or the termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to reenter and resume possession of the Premises. No act or thing done by Landlord or any of Landlord’s agents (hereinafter defined) during the Term of the Lease shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid unless the same be made in writing and executed by Landlord. Tenant shall notify Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior to vacating the Premises and shall arrange to meet with Landlord for a joint inspection of the Premises. If Tenant fails to give such notice or to arrange for such inspection, then Landlord’s inspection of the Premises shall be deemed correct for the purpose of determining Tenant’s responsibility for repair and restoration of the Premises.

Section 5.2 Entry for Repairs and Inspection. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents to enter the Premises at all reasonable times to inspect the same; to show the Premises to prospective tenants (within nine (9) months of the expiration of the Term of this Lease), or interested parties such as prospective lenders and purchasers; to exercise its rights under this Lease; to clean, repair, alter or improve the Premises or the Building; to discharge Tenant’s obligations when Tenant has failed to do so within the time required under this Lease or within a reasonable time after written notice from Landlord, whichever is earlier; to post notices of non-responsibility and similar notices and “For Sale” signs at any time and to place “For Lease” signs upon or adjacent to the Building or the Premises at any time within nine (9) months of the expiration of the Term of this Lease. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents to enter the Premises at any time in the event of an emergency. When reasonably necessary, Landlord may temporarily close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators or other facilities without liability to Tenant by reason of such closure.

Section 5.3 Hazardous Materials.

(a) As-used in this Lease, the term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean and include any substance that is or contains petroleum, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, lead, or any other substance, material or waste which is now or is

hereafter classified or considered to be hazardous or toxic under any federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or ordinance relating to pollution or the protection or regulation of human health, natural resources or the environment (collectively “Environmental Laws”) or poses or threatens to pose a hazard to the health or safety of persons on the Premises or any adjacent property.

(b) Tenant agrees that during its use and occupancy of the Premises it will not permit Hazardous Materials to be present on or about the Premises except in a manner and quantity necessary for the ordinary performance of Tenant’s business and that it will comply with all Environmental Laws relating to the use, storage or disposal of any such Hazardous Materials.

(c) If Tenant’s use of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises results in a release, discharge or disposal of Hazardous Materials on, in, at, under, or emanating from, the Premises or the property in which the Premises are located, Tenant agrees to investigate, clean up, remove or remediate such Hazardous Materials in full compliance with (a) the requirements of (i) all Environmental Laws and (ii) any governmental agency or authority responsible for the enforcement of any Environmental Laws; and (b) any additional requirements of Landlord that are reasonably necessary to protect the value of the Premises or the property in which the Premises are located, Landlord shall also have the right but not the obligation, to take whatever action with respect to any such Hazardous Materials that it deems reasonably necessary to protect The value of the Premises or the property in which the Premises are located. All costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in the exercise of such right shall be payable by Tenant upon demand.

(d) Upon reasonable notice to Tenant, Landlord may inspect the Premises for the purpose of determining whether there exists on the Premises any Hazardous Materials or other condition or activity that is in violation of the requirements of this Lease or of any Environmental Laws. The right granted to Landlord herein to perform inspections shall not create a duty on Landlord’s part to inspect the Premises, or liability on the part of Landlord for Tenant’s use, storage or disposal of Hazardous Materials, it being understood that Tenant shall be solely responsible for all liability in connection therewith.

(e) Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease free of debris, waste or Hazardous Materials placed on or about the Premises by Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and in a condition, which complies with all Environmental Laws.

(f) Tenant agrees to indemnity and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, losses (including, without limitation, loss in value of the Premises or the property in which the Premises are located), liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) sustained by Landlord attributable to (i) any Hazardous Materials placed on or about the Premises by Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees or (ii) Tenant’s breach of any provision of this Section.

(g) The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE VI

Section 6.1 Leasehold Improvements.

(a) Acceptance of Premises. Tenant has made a complete inspection of the Premises and shall accept the Premises and the Project in their “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” condition on the applicable Commencement Date without recourse to Landlord. Except as expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation to furnish, equip or improve the Premises or the Project or provide an allowance, abatement or concession with respect to the Premises, except that Landlord shall provide the Tenant Improvement Allowance (as that term is defined in Exhibit E hereto) for the Suite 150 Premises, which shall be disbursed in accordance with Exhibit E attached hereto. The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence against Tenant that (i) Tenant accepts the Premises and the Project as being suitable for its intended purpose and in a good and satisfactory condition, (ii) acknowledges that the Premises and the Project comply fully with Landlord’s covenants and obligations under this Lease and (iii) waives any defects in the Premises and its appurtenances and in all other parts of the Project.

(b) Improvements and Alterations. Tenant shall not make or allow to be made (except as otherwise provided in this Lease) any improvements, alterations or physical additions (including fixtures) in or to the Premises or the Project, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord, including Landlord’s written approval of Tenant’s contractor(s) and of the plans, working drawings and specifications relating thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, so long as such improvements, alterations or physical additions do not affect the Building’s structure or the mechanical, electrical or plumbing components of the Building. If Landlord does not respond in writing with reasonable specificity to Tenant’s request for approval of plans and specifications within ten (10) business days after submission of Tenant’s plans, Landlord’s approval therefor shall be deemed granted. Approval by Landlord of any of Tenant’s drawings and plans and specifications prepared in connection with any alterations, improvements, modifications or additions to the Premises or the Project shall not constitute a representation or warranty of Landlord as to the adequacy or sufficiency of such drawings, plans and specifications, or alterations, improvements, modifications or additions to which they relate, for any use, purpose or conditions, but such approval shall merely be the consent of Landlord as required hereunder. Any and all furnishing, equipping and improving of or other alteration and addition to the Premises shall be: (i) made at Tenant’s sole cost, risk and expense, and Tenant shall pay for Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket third-party costs incurred in connection with and as a result of such alterations or additions; (ii) performed in a prompt good and workmanlike manner with labor and materials of such quality as Landlord may reasonably require; (iii) constructed substantially in accordance with all plans and specifications approved in writing by Landlord prior to the commencement of

any such work; (iv) prosecuted diligently and continuously to completion so as to minimize interference with the normal business operations of other tenants in the Building, the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease or any mortgage or ground lease covering or affecting all or any part of the Building or the Land and any work being done by contractors engaged by Landlord with respect to or in connection with the Building; and (iv) performed by contractors approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant shall have no (and hereby waives all) rights to payment or compensation for any such item. Tenant shall notify Landlord upon completion of such alterations, improvements, modifications or additions and Landlord shall inspect same for workmanship and compliance with the approved plans and specifications. Tenant and its contractors shall comply with all reasonable requirements Landlord may impose on Tenant or its contractors with respect to such work (including but not limited to, insurance, indemnity and bonding requirements), and, to the extent any changes or change orders have been made to or in connection with the plans and specifications which were approved by Landlord, (A) such changes or change orders shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (B) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a complete copy of the “as-built” or final plans and specifications for all alterations or physical additions so made in or to the Premises within thirty (30) days of completing the work. Tenant shall not place safes, vaults, filing cabinets or systems, libraries or other heavy furniture or equipment within the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent.

(c) Title to Alterations. All alterations, physical additions, modifications or improvements in or to the Premises (including fixtures) shall, when made, become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon termination or expiration of this Lease or termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, without any payment reimbursement or compensation therefor; provided, however, that Tenant shall retain title to and shall remove from the Premises movable equipment or furniture owned by Tenant and Tenant repairs any damage caused thereby and Tenant returns the Premises to their preexisting condition. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord may require Tenant to remove all alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises that are other than Building Standard including, without limitation, any cabling or other computer, satellite or telecommunications equipment or hardware, whether or not such alterations, additions, or improvements are located in the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and restore the same to Building Standard condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. The rights conferred to Landlord under this Section 6.1(c) shall be in addition to (and not in conflict with) any other rights conferred on Landlord by this Lease, in equity or at law.

(d) Personal Property Taxes; Sales, Use and Excise Taxes. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay ad valorem taxes and other taxes, assessments or charges levied upon or applicable to Tenant’s personal property, the value of Tenant’s leasehold improvements in the Premises in excess of Building Standard (and if the taxing authorities do not separately assess Tenant’s leasehold improvements, Landlord may make a reasonable allocation of the taxes assessed on the Project to give effect to this Section 6.1(d)) and all license fees and other fees or charges imposed on the business conducted by Tenant on the Premises before such taxes, assessments, charges or fees become delinquent. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord with all Rent due and owing under this Lease an amount equal to any sales, rental, excise and use taxes levied, imposed or assessed by the State or any political subdivision thereof or other taxing authority upon any amounts classified as rent.

Section 6.2 Repairs by Landlord. All repairs, alterations or additions that affect the Project’s structural components or major mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems shall be made by Landlord or its contractors only, and, in the case of any damage to such components or systems caused by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, shall be paid for by Tenant in an amount equal to Landlord’s costs plus fifteen percent (15%) as an overhead expense. Unless otherwise provided herein, Landlord shall not be required to make any improvements to or repairs of any kind or character to the leasehold improvements located in the Premises during the Term, except such repairs as Landlord deems necessary for normal maintenance operations of the Building.

Section 6.3 Repairs by Tenant. Subject to Section. 6.2 of this Lease, Tenant shall be responsible, at its own cost and expense, for all repair or replacement of any damage to the leasehold improvements in the Premises, together with any damage to the Project or any part thereof caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents. Except insofar as Landlord is expressly obligated under this Lease to maintain and repair the Building, in addition to the maintenance and repair obligations of Tenant otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant is also obligated to perform, at Tenant’s own cost and expense and risk, all other maintenance and repairs necessary or appropriate to cause the Premises to be maintained in good condition and suitable for Tenant’s intended commercial purpose.

Section 6.4 Liens. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Building free from any liens, including but not limited to liens filed against the Premises by any governmental agency, authority or organization, arising out of any work performed, materials ordered or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord, its agents, employees, independent contractors, officers, directors, partners, and shareholders harmless from any liability, cost or expense for such liens. Tenant shall cause any such lien imposed to be released of record by payment or posting of the proper bond within thirty (30) days after the earlier of imposition of the lien or written request by Landlord. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s intention to perform work on the Premises, which might result in any claim of lien, at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of such work to enable Landlord to post and record a notice of non-responsibility or other notice deemed proper before commencement of any such work. Tenant’s notice of intent to perform work may be given contemporaneously with Tenant’s submittal of plans for Landlord’s approval. If Tenant fails to remove any lien within the prescribed thirty (30) day period, then Landlord may do so at Tenant’s expense and Tenant’s reimbursement to Landlord for such amount including attorneys’ fees and costs, shall be deemed Additional Rent. Tenant shall have no power to do any act or make any contract, which may create or be the foundation for any lien, mortgage or other encumbrance upon the reversion or other estate of Landlord, or of any interest of Landlord in the Premises.

Section 6.5 Indemnification. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its agents, employees, officers, directors, partners and shareholders (“Landlord’s Related Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, demands, causes of action, claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of the use, occupancy, conduct, operation, or management of the Premises by, or the willful misconduct or negligence of, Tenant, its officers, contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, guests, invitees, or visitors in or about the Building or Premises or arising from any breach or default under this Lease by Tenant or arising from any accident, injury, or damage, howsoever and by whomsoever caused, to any person or property, occurring in or about the Building or Premises. This indemnification shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease. This provision shall not be construed to make Tenant responsible for loss, damage, liability or expense resulting from injuries to third parties caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or its officers, contractors, licensees, agents, employees, or invitees.

ARTICLE VII

Section 7.1 Condemnation.

(a) Total Taking. In the event of a taking or damage related to the exercise of the power of eminent domain, by any agency, authority, public utility, person, corporation or entity empowered to condemn property (including without limitation a voluntary conveyance by Landlord in lieu of such taking or condemnation) (individually, a “Taking”) of (i) the entire Premises, (ii) so much of the Premises as to prevent or substantially impair its use by Tenant during the Term of this Lease or (iii) portions of the Building or Project required for reasonable access to, or reasonable use of, the Premises (individually, a “Total Taking”), the rights of Tenant under this Lease and the leasehold estate of Tenant in and to the Premises shall cease and terminate as of the date upon which title to the property taken passes to and vests in the condemnor or the effective date of any order for possession if issued prior to the date title vests in the condemnor (“Date of Taking”).

(b) Partial Taking. In the event of a Taking of only a part of the Premises or of a part of the Project which does not constitute a Total Taking during the Term of this Lease (individually, a “Partial Taking”), the rights of Tenant under this Lease and the leasehold estate of Tenant in and to the portion of the property taken shall cease and terminate as of the Date of Taking, and an adjustment to the Rent shall be made based upon the reduced area of the Premises.

(c) Termination by Landlord. In the event of a Taking of the Building (other than the Premises) such that, Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the Building cannot be restored in a manner that makes its continued operation practically or economically feasible, Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date notice of such Taking is received by Landlord.

(d) Rent Adjustment. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any prepaid unaccrued Rent and any other sums due and owing to Tenant (less any sums then due and owing Landlord by Tenant), and Tenant shall pay to Landlord any remaining sums due and owing Landlord under this Lease, each prorated as of the Date of Taking where applicable.

(e) Repair. If this Lease is not terminated as provided for in this Section 7.1, then Landlord at its expense shall promptly repair and restore the Building, Project and/or the Premises to approximately the same condition that existed at the time Tenant entered into possession of the Premises, wear and tear excepted (and Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore Tenant’s improvements to the Premises or Tenant’s Property), except for the part taken, so as to render the Building or Project as complete an architectural unit as practical, but only to the extent of the condemnation award received by Landlord for the damage.

(f) Awards and Damages. Landlord reserves all rights to damages and awards paid because of any Partial or Total Taking of the Premises or the Project. Tenant assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may have to the damages or award. Further, Tenant shall not make claims against Landlord or the condemning authority for damages. Notwithstanding, Tenant may claim and recover from the condemning authority a separate award for Tenant’s moving expenses, business dislocation damages, Tenant’s Property and any other award that would not reduce the award payable to Landlord.

Section 7.2 Force Majeure. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be required to perform any, term, provision, agreement condition or covenant in this Lease (other than the obligations of Tenant to pay Rent as provided herein) so long as such performance is delayed or prevented by “Force Majeure,” which shall mean acts of God, strikes, injunctions, lockouts, material or labor restrictions by any governmental authority, civil riots, floods, fire, theft, public enemy, insurrection, war, court order, requisition or order of governmental body or authority, and any other cause not reasonably within the control of Landlord or Tenant and which by the exercise of due diligence Landlord or Tenant is unable, wholly or in part, to prevent or overcome. Neither Landlord nor any mortgagee shall be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage to any property or person occasioned by any Force Majeure, or for any damage or inconvenience, which may arise through repair or alteration of any part of the Project as a result of any Force Majeure.

Section 7.3 Fire or Other Casualty Damage. If any portion of the Premises shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or any other casualty, Tenant shall immediately give notice thereof to Landlord. If any portion of the Premises or Project shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or any other casualty then, at the option of Landlord, Landlord may restore and repair the portion of the Premises or Project damaged and, if the Premises are rendered untenantable in whole or in part by reason of such casualty as determined by Landlord in its commercially reasonable judgment, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of the Rent hereunder (subject to the limitation in Section 7.3(b) below) until

such time as the damaged portion of the Premises (exclusive of any of Tenant’s Property or Tenant’s improvements) are repaired or restored by Landlord to The extent required hereby or Landlord may terminate this Lease whereupon all Rent accrued up to the time of such damage or destruction and any other sums due and owing shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord (less any sums then due and owing Tenant by Landlord) and any remaining sums due and owing by Landlord to Tenant shall be paid to Tenant In no event shall Landlord have any obligation to repair or restore any such destruction or damage.

(a) Repair. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its decisions, estimates or elections under this Section 7.3 within sixty (60) days after any such damage or destruction. If Landlord has elected to repair and restore the Premises or other portion of the Project this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and the repairs will be made within a reasonable time thereafter (not to exceed one (1) year), subject to the provisions of Section 7.2 of this Lease. Should the repairs not be completed within that period, Tenant shall have the option of terminating this Lease by written letter of termination. If this Lease is terminated as herein permitted, Landlord shall refund to Tenant any prepaid Rent (unaccrued as of the date of damage or destruction) and any other sums due and owing by Landlord to Tenant (less any sums then due and owing Landlord by Tenant) and any remaining sums due and owing by Tenant to Landlord shall be paid to Landlord. If Landlord has elected to repair and reconstruct the Premises or other portion of the Project to the extent stated above, the Term will be extended for a time equal to the period from the occurrence of such damage to the completion of such repair and reconstruction. If Landlord elects to rebuild the Premises or other portion of the Project, Landlord shall be obligated to restore, or rebuild the Premises or other portion of the Project to substantially the same condition as existed at the time Tenant entered into possession of the Premises (except for any work paid for by Tenant), wear and tear excepted and not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of Tenant’s Property or Tenant’s leasehold improvements. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord shall elect to repair and restore the Premises or other portion of the Project pursuant to this Section 7.3, in no event shall Landlord be required to expend under this Article VII any amount in excess of the proceeds actually received from the insurance carried by Landlord pursuant to Section 7.4(a) of this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or destruction or the disregard of the repair thereof.

(b) Negligence of Tenant. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3(a) of this Lease, if the Premises, the Project or any portion thereof, are damaged by fire or other casualty resulting from the fault or negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, the Rent under this Lease will not be abated during the repair of that damage, and Tenant will be liable to Landlord for the cost and expense of the repair and restoration of the Premises, the Project or any part thereof, caused thereby to the extent that cost and expense is not covered by insurance proceeds (including without limitation the amount of any insurance deductible).

Section 7.4 Insurance.

(a) Landlord shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, standard fire and extended coverage insurance on the Buildings and Building Standard tenant improvements (excluding leasehold improvements by Tenant in excess of Building Standard and Tenant’s Property) on a full replacement cost basis. The insurance required to be obtained by Landlord may be obtained by Landlord through blanket or master policies insuring other entities or properties owned or controlled by Landlord.

(b) Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain during the Term of this Lease all such policies of insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, including without limitation commercial general liability insurance (including personal injury liability, premises/operation, property damage, independent contractors and broad form contractual coverage in support of the indemnifications of Landlord by Tenant under this Lease) in amounts of not less than a combined single limit, of $2,000,000; comprehensive automobile liability insurance; business interruption insurance; contractual liability insurance; property insurance with respect to Tenant’s Property, and all leasehold improvements, alterations and additions in excess of Building Standard, to be written on an “all risk” basis for full replacement cost; worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance; and comprehensive catastrophe liability insurance; all maintained with companies, on forms and in such amounts as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require and endorsed to include Landlord as an additional insured, with the premiums fully paid on or before the due dates. The insurer must be licensed to do business in the state in which the Building is located. Tenant and not Landlord, will be liable for any costs or damages in excess of the statutory limit for which Tenant would, in the absence of worker’s compensation, be liable. In the event that Tenant fails to take out or maintain any policy required by this Section 7.4 to be maintained by Tenant, such failure shall be a defense to any claim asserted by Tenant against Landlord by reason of any loss sustained by Tenant that would have been covered by such policy, notwithstanding that such loss may have been proximately caused solely or partially by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any of Landlord’s Related Parties. If Tenant does not procure insurance as required, Landlord may, upon advance written notice to Tenant cause this insurance to be issued and Tenant shall pay to Landlord the premium for such insurance within ten (10) days of Landlord’s demand, plus interest at the past due rate provided for in Section 3.1(c) of this Lease until repaid by Tenant. All policies of insurance required to be maintained by Tenant shall specifically make reference to the indemnifications by Tenant in favor of Landlord under this Lease and shall provide that Landlord shall be given at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any cancellation or non-renewal of any such policy. A certificate evidencing each such policy shall be deposited with Landlord by Tenant on or before the Commencement Date, and a replacement certificate evidencing each subsequent policy shall be deposited with Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the preceding such policy. All insurance policies obtained by Tenant shall be written as primary policies (primary over any insurance carried by Landlord), not contributing with and not in excess of coverage, which Landlord may carry, if any. The insurance required by this Lease, at the option of Tenant may be effected by blanket and/or umbrella policies issued to Tenant covering the Premises and other properties owned or leased by Tenant, provided that the policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Lease and allocate to the Premises the specified coverage, without possibility of reduction or coinsurance by reason of, or damage to, any other premises

named therein, and if the insurance required by thus Lease shall be effected by any such blanket or umbrella policies; Tenant shall furnish to Landlord or lender or mortgagee, if any, certified copies or duplicate originals of such policies in place of the originals, with schedules hereto attached showing the amount of insurance afforded by such policies applicable to the Premises.

Section 7.5 Waiver of Subrogation Rights. Each party hereto waives all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of actions arising in any manner in its (the “Injured Party’s”) favor and against the other party for loss or damage to the Injured Party’s property located within or constituting a part or all of the Project to the extent the loss or damage: (a) is covered by the Injured Party’s insurance; or (b) would have been covered by the insurance the Injured Party is required to carry under this Lease, whichever is greater, regardless of the cause or origin, including the sole, contributory, partial, joint comparative or concurrent negligence of the other party, This waiver also applies to each party’s directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, representatives and agents. All insurance carried by either Landlord or Tenant covering the losses and damages described in this Section 7.5 shall provide for such waiver of rights of subrogation by the Injured Party’s insurance carrier to the maximum extent that the same is permitted under the laws and regulations governing the writing of insurance within the state in which the Building is located. Both parties hereto are obligated to obtain such a waiver and provide evidence to the other party of such waiver. The waiver set forth in this Section 7.5 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other waivers, indemnities or exclusions of liability set forth in this Lease.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.2 Landlord’s Remedies. Upon occurrence of any default by Tenant under this Lease and (i) if the event of default described in Section 8.1(a) is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord of such default (provided, however, Landlord shall not be obligated to notify Tenant more than twice in any 12-month period; thereafter, Tenant shall immediately be in default upon Tenant’s failure to pay Rent as and when due); or (ii) the events described in Sections 8.1(b), (d), (f) and (g) are not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord of such default (there being no notice and cure period for events of defaults described in Sections 8.1(c), (e) and (h) except as otherwise set forth herein), the Landlord shall have the option to do and perform any one or more of the following in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedy or right permitted it by law or in equity or by this Lease:

Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord all Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease (plus interest at the past due rate provided in Section 3.1(c) of this Lease if in arrears) plus an amount equal to (i) the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, (ii) the cost of removing and storing any of Tenant’s or any other occupant’s property left on the Premises or the Project after reentry, (iii) the cost of decorations, repairs, changes, alterations and additions to the Premises and the Project, (iv) the cost of any attempted reletting or reletting and the collection of the rent accruing from such reletting, (v) the cost of any brokerage fees or commissions payable by Landlord in connection with any reletting or attempted reletting, (vi) any other costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any such reletting or attempted reletting, (vii) the cost of any increase in insurance premiums caused by the termination of possession of the Premises, (viii) the amount of any unamortized improvements to the Premises paid for by Landlord, (ix) the amount of any unamortized brokerage commissions or other costs paid by Landlord in connection with the leasing of the Premises and (x) any other sum of money or damages owed by Tenant to Landlord at law, in equity or hereunder, all reduced by any sums received by Landlord through any reletting of the Premises; provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess of any sums obtained by reletting over and above Rent provided in this Lease to be paid by Tenant to Landlord. For the purpose of such reletting Landlord is authorized to decorate or to make any repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to the Premises that may be necessary. Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under the terms of this Section 8.2(c) from time to time, and no delivery to or recovery by Landlord of any portion due Landlord hereunder shall be any defense in any action to recover any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. No reletting shall be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant by Landlord. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous default and/or exercise its rights under Section 8.3(b) of this Lease.

(d) Enter upon the Premises and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms on this Lease; and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any reasonable expenses which Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease plus fifteen percent (15%) of such cost to cover overhead plus interest at the past due rate provided in this Lease, and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action. No action taken by Landlord under this Section 8.2(d) shall relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease or from any consequences or liabilities arising from the failure to perform such obligations.

(e) Without waiving such default, apply all or any part of the Security Deposit and/or Prepaid Rent, if any, to cure the default or to any damages suffered as a result of the default to the extent of the amount of damages suffered. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the amount of such depletion of the Security Deposit and/or any Prepaid Rent on demand.

(f) Change all door locks and other security devices of Tenant at the Premises and/or the Project, and Landlord shall not be required to provide the new key to the Tenant except during Tenant’s regular business hours, and only upon the condition that Tenant has cured any and all defaults hereunder and in the case where Tenant owes Rent to the Landlord, reimbursed Landlord for all Rent and other suits due Landlord hereunder. Landlord, on terms and conditions satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion, may upon request from Tenant’s employees, enter the Premises for the purpose of retrieving there from personal property of such employees, provided, Landlord shall have no obligation to do so.

(g) Exercise any and all other remedies available to Landlord in this Lease, at law or in equity.

Section 8.3 Duty to Relet or Mitigate. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant and Landlord agree that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises or otherwise mitigate damages under this Lease. However, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished, because of Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises after using commercially reasonable efforts, or Landlord’s failure to collect rent due with respect to such reletting. Landlord and Tenant agree that any such duty to mitigate shall be satisfied and Landlord shall be deemed to have used commercially reasonable efforts to fill the Premises by doing the following: (a) posting a “For Lease” sign on the Premises; (b) advising Landlord’s leasing agent of the availability of the Premises; and (c) advising at least one outside commercial brokerage entity of the availability of the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to relet the Premises before leasing any other unoccupied portions of the Project and any other property under the ownership or control of Landlord, if Landlord receives any payments from the reletting of the Premises, any such payment shall first be applied to any costs or expenses incurred by

Landlord as a result of Tenant’s Default under this Lease.

Section 8.4 Reentry. If Tenant fails to allow Landlord to reenter and repossess the Premises, Landlord shall have full and free license to enter into and upon the Premises with process of law for the purpose of repossessing the Premises, expelling or removing Tenant and any others who may be occupying or otherwise within the Premises, removing any and all property there from and changing all door locks of the Premises. Landlord may take these actions without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry or detainer, without accepting surrender of possession of the Premises by Tenant, and without incurring any liability for any damage resulting there from, including without limitation any liability arising under applicable state law and without relinquishing Landlord’s right to Rent or any other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law or in equity, Tenant hereby waiving any right to claim damage for such reentry and expulsion, including without limitation any rights granted to Tenant by applicable state law, unless such damage is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

Section 8.5 Rights of Landlord in Bankruptcy. Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency, by reason of the expiration or termination of this Lease or the termination of Tenant’s right of occupancy, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to in this Section 8.5. In the event that under applicable law, the trustee in bankruptcy or Tenant has the right to affirm this Lease and continue to perform the obligations of Tenant hereunder, such trustee or Tenant shall, in such time period as may be permitted by the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction, cure all defaults of Tenant hereunder outstanding as of the date of the affirmance of this Lease and provide to Landlord such adequate assurances as may be necessary to ensure Landlord of the continued performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

Section 8.6 Waiver of Certain Rights. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights Tenant may have under applicable state law to its right to recover possession of the Premises. Tenant hereby waives any and all liens (whether statutory, contractual or constitutional) it may have or acquire as a result of a breach by Landlord under this Lease. Tenant also waives and releases any statutory lien and offset rights it may have against Landlord, including without limitation the rights conferred upon applicable state law.

Section 8.7 NonWaiver. Failure on the part of Landlord to complain of any action or non-action on the part of Tenant no matter how long the same may continue, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any of its rights under this Lease. Further, it is covenanted and agreed that no waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof by Landlord shall be construed as a waiver of any of the other provisions hereof and that a waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of the same provisions. The consent or approval by Landlord to or of any action by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act by Tenant.

Section 8.8 Holding Over. In the event Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease without the execution of a new lease, then Tenant at Landlord’s option, shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant at will at a base rental equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the then applicable Base Rent, and shall otherwise remain subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease insofar as the same are applicable to a tenancy at will, including without limitation the payment of all other Rent; provided, however, nothing contained herein shall require Landlord to give Tenant more than thirty (30) days prior written consent to terminate Tenant’s tenancy-at-will. No holding over by Tenant after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be construed to extend or renew the Term or in any other manner be construed as permission by Landlord to hold over. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord (y) against all claims for damages by any other tenant to whom Landlord may have leased all or any part of the Premises effective upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, and (z) for all other losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by reason of such holding over.

Section 8.9 Abandonment of Personal Property. Any personal property left in the Premises or any personal property of Tenant left about the Project at the expiration or termination of this Lease, the termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises or the abandonment, desertion or vacating of the Premises by Tenant shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant and may, at the option of Landlord, be immediately removed from the Premises or such other space by Landlord and stored by Landlord at the full risk, cost and expense of Tenant. Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. In the event Tenant does not reclaim any such personal property and pay all costs for any storage and moving thereof within thirty (30) days after the expiration or termination of this Lease, the termination of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises or the abandonment, desertion or vacating of the Premises by Tenant, Landlord may dispose of such personal property in any way that it deems proper. If Landlord shall sell any such personal property, it shall be entitled to retain from the proceeds the amount of any Rent or other expenses due Landlord, together with the cost of storage and moving and the expense of the sale. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in addition to the rights provided herein with respect to any such property, Landlord shall have the option of exercising any of its other rights or remedies provided in the Lease or exercising any rights or remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity.

ARTICLE IX

Section 9.1 Transfers. Tenant shall not by operation of law or otherwise, (a) assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber this Lease, the Premises or any part of or interest in this Lease or the Premises, (b) grant any concession or license within the Premises, (c) sublet all or any part of the Premises or any right or privilege appurtenant to the Premises, or (d) permit any other party to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises (collectively, a

“Transfer”), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. This prohibition against a Transfer includes, without limitation, (i) any subletting or assignment which would otherwise occur by operation of law, merger, consolidation, reorganization, transfer or other change of Tenant’s corporate or proprietary structure; (ii) an assignment or subletting to or by a receiver or trustee in any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or other proceedings; (iii) the sale, assignment or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant with or without specific assignment of Lease; or (iv) the change in control in a partnership. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written description of all terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, copies of the proposed documentation, and the following information about the proposed transferee: name and address; reasonably satisfactory information about its business and business history; its proposed use of the Premises; a copy of the proposed sublease or assignment agreement; banking, financial and other credit information; and general references sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the proposed transferee’s creditworthiness and character. Landlord’s consent to a Transfer shall not release Tenant from performing its obligations under this Lease, but rather Tenant’s transferee shall assume all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease in a writing satisfactory to Landlord, and Tenant and its transferee shall be jointly and severally liable therefor. Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent Transfer. While the Premises or any part thereof are subject to a Transfer, Landlord may collect directly from such transferee all rents or other sums relating to the Premises becoming due to Tenant or Landlord and apply such rents and other sums against the Rent and any other sums payable hereunder. If the aggregate rental, bonus or other consideration paid by a transferee for any such space exceeds the sum of (y) Tenant’s Rent to be paid to Landlord for such space during such period and (z) Tenant’s costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with such Transfer, including reasonable brokerage fees, reasonable costs of finishing or renovating the space affected and reasonable cash rental concessions, which costs and expenses are to be amortized over the term of the Transfer, then fifty percent (50%) of such excess shall be paid to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after such amount is earned by Tenant. Such arrearage amounts in the case of a sublease shall be calculated and adjusted (if necessary) on a Lease Year (or partial Lease Year) basis, and there shall be no cumulative adjustment for the Term. Landlord shall have the right to audit Tenant’s books and records relating to the Transfer. Tenant authorizes its transferees to make payments of rent and any other sums due and payable, directly to Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord to do so. Any attempted Transfer by Tenant in violation of the terms and covenants of this Article IX shall be void. In the event that Tenant requests that Landlord consider a sublease or assignment hereunder, Tenant shall pay (i) Landlord’s reasonable and documented expenses, not to exceed Five Hundred and No/l00 Dollars ($500.00) per transaction, actually incurred in connection with the consideration of such request and (ii) all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the consideration of such request or such sublease or assignment.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises without Landlord’s consent (i) to any corporation or other entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant; (ii) to any corporation or other entity resulting from a merger, acquisition, consolidation or reorganization of or with Tenant; (iii) in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant so long as Tenant provides evidence to Landlord in writing that such assignment or sublease complies with the, criteria set forth in (i), (ii) or (iii) above and provided the following conditions are met: (1) the net worth of the transferee is equal to or greater than the Tenant’s net worth on the date of this Lease, (2) if Tenant remains in existence as a separate legal entity following the transfer, it shall not be released from liability under this Lease, (3) the transferee shall assume in a writing delivered to Landlord all of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease effective upon the consummation of this transfer, and (4) Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of the proposed transfer at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the consummation thereof. Any transferee that meets the criteria in this paragraph shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Permitted Transferee”.

Section 9.2 Assignment by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right at any time to sell, transfer or assign, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, its rights, benefits, privileges, duties, obligations or interests in this Lease or in the Premises, the Building, the Land, the Project and all other property referred to herein, without the prior consent of Tenant and such sale, transfer or assignment shall be binding on Tenant. After such sale, transfer or assignment, Tenant shall attorn to such purchaser, transferee or assignee, and Landlord shall be released from all liability and obligations under this Lease accruing after the effective date of such sale, transfer or assignment.

Section 9.3 Limitation of Landlord’s Liability. Any provisions of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant hereby agrees that no personal, partnership or corporate liability of any kind or character (including, without limitation, the payment of any judgment) whatsoever now attaches or at any time hereafter under any condition shall attach to Landlord or any of Landlord’s Related Parties or any mortgagee for payment of any amounts payable under this Lease or for the performance of any obligation under this Lease. The exclusive remedies of Tenant for the failure of Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease shall be to proceed against the interest of Landlord in and to the Project. The provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or Landlord’s successors in interest or any suit or action in connection with enforcement or collection of amounts which may become owing or payable under or on account of insurance maintained by Landlord. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant or any interest of Landlord in the Project be subject to execution by Tenant, for any indirect special, consequential or punitive damages.

Section 10.1 Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinated at all times to (a) all ground or underlying leases now existing or which may hereinafter be executed affecting the Project, and (b) the lien or liens of all mortgages and deeds of trust in any amount or amounts, whatsoever now or hereafter placed on the Project or Landlord’s interest or estate therein or on or against such ground or underlying leases and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to each advance made or hereafter to be made thereunder. Tenant shall execute and deliver upon demand any instruments, releases or other documents requested by any lessor or mortgagee for the purpose of subjecting and subordinating this Lease to such ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust. Tenant shall attorn to any party succeeding to Landlord’s interest in the Premises, whether by purchase, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, power of sale, termination of lease or otherwise, only upon such party’s request and at such party’s sole discretion but not otherwise. Notwithstanding such attornment, Tenant agrees that any such successor in interest shall not be (a) liable for any act or omission of, or subject to any rights of setoff, claims or defenses otherwise assertable by Tenant against any prior owner of the Project (including without limitation, Landlord), (b) bound by any rents paid more than one (1) month in advance to any prior owner, (c) liable for any Security Deposit not paid over to such successor by Landlord, and (d) if such successor is a mortgagee or a ground lessor whose address has been previously given to Tenant bound by any modification, amendment extension or cancellation of the Lease not consented to in writing by such mortgagee or ground lessor. Tenant shall execute all such agreements confirming such attornment as such party may reasonably request. Tenant shall not seek to enforce any remedy it may have for any default on the part of Landlord without first giving written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, specifying the default in reasonable detail, to any mortgagee or lessor under a lien instrument or lease covering the premises whose address has been given to Tenant, and affording such mortgagee or lessor a reasonable opportunity to perform Landlord’s obligations hereunder. Landlord hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement from its current mortgagee and any future mortgagees, on such mortgagee’s commercially reasonable standard form. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, any mortgagee or ground lessor may at any time subordinate any such deeds of trust mortgages, other security instruments or ground leases to this Lease on such terms and conditions as such mortgagee or ground lessor may deem appropriate.

Section 10.2 Estoppel Certificate or Three-Party Agreement. Tenant agrees (a) within ten (10) days following request by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord and any other persons specified by Landlord, a certificate or three-party agreement among Landlord, Tenant and/or any third party dealing with Landlord, certifying (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in fall force and effect, or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification (ii) the date to which the Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii) that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or so specifying such defaults, if any, as are claimed and/or (iv) any other matters as such third party may reasonably require in connection with the business dealings of Landlord and/or such third party and (b) to deliver to Landlord audited financial statements that Tenant prepares annually, including a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement for the most recent two (2) years, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and certified by an independent certified public accountant. Tenant’s failure to deliver such certificate or three-party agreement within such ten (10) day period shall be conclusive upon Tenant (x) that this Lease is in fill force and effect without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (y) that to Tenant’s knowledge there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and (z) that no Rent has been paid in advance except as set forth in this Lease. Financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 10.2(b) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date that Tenant’s parent company posts its consolidated financial statements, or provides a link thereto, on Tenant’s website on the Internet at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇. In the event that Tenant’s parent company is no longer publicly traded or is no longer required to publicly disclose its financial statements, then Landlord agrees to keep Tenant’s financial statements provided in accordance with the above provisions confidential, and shall not disclose or share such financial statements or the information contained therein with any other persons except Landlord’s lenders, advisors, leasing agents, investors, attorneys and prospective purchasers and their lenders.

Section 11.2 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease shall be nonexclusive and each right or remedy shall be in addition to and cumulative of all other rights and remedies available to

Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity. Pursuit of any right or remedy shall not preclude pursuit of any other rights or remedies provided in this Lease or at law or in equity, nor shall pursuit of any right or remedy constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any Rent due to Landlord or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason of the violation of any of the terms of this Lease.

Section 11.3 Legal Interpretation. This Lease and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance, with the laws of the state in which the Building is located and the United States. The determination that one or more provisions of this Lease is invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable shall not affect or invalidate any other provision of this Lease, and this Lease shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained in this Lease, and, so far as is reasonable and possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative. All obligations of either party hereunder not fully performed as of the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease shall survive the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease and shall be fully enforceable in accordance with those provisions pertaining thereto. Article and section titles and captions appearing in this Lease are for convenient reference only and shall not be used to interpret or limit the meaning of any provision of this Lease. No custom or practice, which may evolve between the parties in the administration of the terms of this Lease, shall waive or diminish the right of Landlord to insist upon the performance by Tenant in strict accordance with the terms of this Lease. This Lease is for the sole benefit of Landlord and Tenant and, without the express written consent thereto, no third party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof. Tenant agrees that this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous statements, negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between. Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter of this Lease or the Premises and that this Lease, including written extrinsic documents referred to herein, is the entire agreement of the parties, and that there are no representations, understandings, stipulations, agreements, warranties or promises (express or implied, oral or written) between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter of this Lease or the Premises. It is likewise agreed that this Lease may not be altered, amended, changed or extended except by an instrument in writing signed by both Landlord and Tenant. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall not be construed against or in favor of a party hereto merely because such party is the “Landlord” or the “Tenant” hereunder or because such party or its counsel is the draftsman of this Lease. All references to days in this Lease and any Exhibits or Addenda hereto mean calendar days, not working or business days, unless otherwise stated.

Section 11.4 Tenant’s Authority. Both Tenant and the person executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant warrant and represent unto Landlord that (a) Tenant is a duly organized and validly existing legal entity, in good standing and qualified to do business in the state in which the Building is located, with no proceedings pending or contemplated for its dissolution or reorganization, voluntary or involuntary, (b) Tenant has full right, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Lease, (c) the person executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so, (d) upon execution of this Lease by Tenant, this Lease shall constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Tenant, and (e) upon request of Landlord, such person will deliver to Landlord satisfactory evidence of the matters set forth in this Section.

Section 11.6 Consents by Landlord. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, in all circumstances under this Lease where the prior consent or permission of Landlord is required before Tenant is authorized to take any particular type of action, such consent must be in writing and the matter of whether to grant such consent or permission shall be within the sole and exclusive judgment and discretion of Landlord, and it shall not constitute any nature of breach by Landlord under this Lease or any defense to the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation of Tenant under this Lease that Landlord delayed or withheld the granting of such consent or permission, whether or not the delay or withholding of such consent or permission was prudent or reasonable or based on good cause.

With respect to any provision of this Lease, which provides that Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior consent or approval, Landlord may withhold such consent or approval for any reason at its sole discretion, unless the provision specifically states that the consent or approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

With respect to any provision of this Lease which provides that Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or unreasonably delay any consent or any approval, Tenant in no event, shall be entitled to make, nor shall Tenant make, any claim for, and Tenant hereby waives any claim for money damages; nor shall Tenant claim any money damages by way of setoff, counterclaim or defense, based upon any claim or assertion by Tenant that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed any consent or approval, unless Landlord has acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner; but Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any such provision, or for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment.

Section 11.7 Joint and Several Liability. If there is more than one Tenant, then the obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several. If there is a guarantor of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, then the obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be the joint and several obligations of Tenant and such guarantor, and Landlord need not first proceed against Tenant before proceeding against such guarantor nor shall any such guarantor be released from its guaranty for any reason whatsoever.

Section 11.8 Independent Covenants. The obligation of Tenant to pay Rent and other monetary obligations

provided to be paid by Tenant under this Lease and the obligation of Tenant to perform Tenant’s other covenants and duties under this Lease constitute independent unconditional obligations of Tenant to be performed at all times provided for under this Lease, save and except only when an abatement thereof or reduction therein is expressly provided for in this Lease and not otherwise, and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall such obligations, covenants and duties of Tenant under this Lease be dependent upon the condition of the Premises or the Project, or the performance by Landlord of its obligations hereunder.

Section 11.9 Attorneys’ Fees and Other Expenses. In the event either party hereto defaults in the faithful performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants, provisions, agreements or conditions contained in this Lease, the party in default shall be liable for and shall pay to the non-defaulting party all expenses incurred by such party in enforcing any of its remedies for any such default, and if the non-defaulting party places the enforcement of all or any part of this Lease in the hands of an attorney, the party in default agrees to pay the non-defaulting party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection therewith.

Tenant shall have the right to park in the Building parking facilities in common with other tenants of the Building upon such terms and conditions, including the imposition of a reasonable parking charge, if the same is established by Landlord at any time during the Term of this Lease. Tenant’s allotted parking spaces shall be increased based on the ratio set forth above upon each applicable Commencement Date should this Lease later be amended to reflect a change to the Rentable Area of the Premises. Tenant agrees not to overburden the parking facilities and agrees to cooperate with Landlord and other tenants in use of the parking facilities.

These Special Stipulations are hereby incorporated into this Lease and in the event that they conflict with any provisions of this Lease, these Special Stipulations shall control.

1. Right of First Offer.

Prior to execution of a lease or leases for the approximately 16,130 square feet of Rentable Area depicted on Exhibit C-1 attached hereto (the “First Offer Spaces”), composed of Suites 220, 250, 315 and 320 during the first five (5) years of the Term of this Lease, and so long as Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, Landlord will notify Tenant of the terms and conditions upon which it would be willing to lease all or portions of the First Offer Spaces to Tenant as such space becomes available.

If within ten (10) business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, Tenant agrees in writing to lease portions of the First Offer Spaces at the current market rate then being charged by Landlord for comparable space in the Building and upon such terms and conditions set forth in Landlord’s notice, Landlord and Tenant will execute an amendment or amendments to this Lease adding the First Offer Spaces to the Premises within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of intent to lease upon all the same terms as this Lease except as modified by the terms in Landlord’s notice. If Tenant does not deliver its notice of intent to lease all or a portion the First Offer Spaces or elects not to lease all or a portion of the First Offer Spaces within such 10 business-day period, then this right of first offer to lease that portion of the First Offer Spaces will lapse and be of no further effect and Landlord will have the right to lease that portion the First Offer Spaces to any third party on the same or any other terms and conditions, whether or not such terms and conditions are more or less favorable than those offered to Tenant. The right granted to Tenant under this paragraph is personal to Tenant and to any Permitted Transferee; furthermore, in the event of any assignment of this Lease to a party other than a Permitted Transferee or a sublease to a party other than a Permitted Transferee Tenant of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises, this right of first offer to lease the First Offer Spaces shall thenceforth be null and void and of no further force and effect.

2. Extension Option.

(a) So long as this Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period in the performance of any of the covenants or terms and conditions of this Lease at the time of notification to Landlord or at the time of commencement of the Extension Period, as that term is hereinafter defined, Tenant shall have the option (the “Extension Option”) to extend the Term for the entire Premises for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (the “Extension Period”), which Extension Period shall commence upon the expiration of the initial Term upon the same terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the Base Rent during the Extension Period shall be at an annual rate equal to ninety five percent (95%) of thee then current fair market value rate for lease renewals and extensions comparable to this Lease for space comparable to the Premises in the Building, taking into account such factors as tenant improvement allowances, rent concessions and rental escalations (the “FMR”), subject to the following terms and conditions: Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice, of its desire to extend the Term of this Lease nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term. In the event Tenant timely exercises this Extension Option, this Lease shall be deemed extended and the FMR shall be determined as set forth below. In the event that Landlord does not receive Tenant’s written notice nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term, then such Extension Option shall be null and void and of no further force or effect this Lease shall expire on the Expiration Date (as that term is defined in Article I), and if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute an instrument in form and substance acceptable to Landlord confirming such facts.

(b) The FMR shall be determined by Landlord and Tenant by mutual agreement; however, if Landlord and Tenant cannot agree in writing on the FMR within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of its election to extend this Lease, the FMR shall be determined by the Three Broker Method set forth below. Tenant shall have the option to select a real estate broker, who shall act on Tenant’s behalf in determining the FMR, within five (5) business days after the expiration of the 10-day period. Landlord must select a real estate broker within five (5) business days after written notice of Tenant’s selection. Landlord, by written notice to Tenant shall designate a real estate broker, who shall act on Landlord’s behalf in the determination of the FMR. If either Landlord or Tenant fails or refuses to select a broker, the other broker shall alone determine the FMR. Otherwise, within ten (10) days after the selection of Landlord’s broker, Landlord and Tenant’s brokers shall then select a third broker meeting the qualifications stated below, and each broker, within fifteen (15) days after the third broker is elected, shall submit his or her determination of the FMR. The FMR shall be the determination of the broker that is not the highest or the lowest (or, if two brokers reach an identical determination, the determination of such two brokers). Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fee of the broker selected by it, and they shall equally share the payment of the fee of the third broker.

(c) In the event that the appraisal process has not been completed prior to the commencement of the Extension Period, then upon commencement of the Extension Period, and until the process is completed (the “Interim Period”), Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent equal to the Base Rent and Additional Rent for the immediately preceding Lease year, until the increase in the Base Rent is determined by such process as provided herein; provided, however, that such payments made during the Interim Period shall be subject to adjustment based upon the results of such process. If, as a result of such appraisal process, it is determined that Tenant has underpaid Base Rent

and Additional Rent during the Interim Period, then such underpaid Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be due from Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after expiration of the Interim Period. All brokers selected in accordance with this subparagraph must be licensed in the state of Kentucky as a real estate broker and shall have at least ten (10) years prior experience in commercial office leasing in the metropolitan area of Louisville, Kentucky. Landlord and Tenant agree that they shall be bound by the determination of the FMR pursuant to this subparagraph for the Extension Period.

(d) Tenant shall accept the Premises in their existing condition (on an “as is” basis) upon the commencement of the Extension Period and Landlord shall have no obligation to grant or pay any allowance, abatement or concession of any kind with respect to the Premises. Tenant shall have no option to renew or extend this Lease beyond the expiration of the Extension Period.

(e) This Extension Option is personal to Tenant and to any Permitted Transferee; furthermore, in the event of an assignment of this Lease to a party other than a Permitted Transferee or a sublease to a party other than a Permitted Transferee by Tenant of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises, this Extension Option shall become null and void and of no further force or effect.

3. Condition of Lease.

Landlord’s agreement to enter into this Lease and to terminate the Prior Lease is expressly conditioned upon Tenant’s full and complete performance of all obligations of Tenant under the Prior Lease, including, without limitation, the payment by Tenant of all Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts due and payable under the Prior Lease through the Commencement Date of this Lease.

Fifty percent (50%) of the Tenant Improvement Allowance for each suite must be applied to the Tenant’s Work for that particular suite or for other suites leased by Tenant at Two Paragon Centre. If the foregoing condition is satisfied, up to fifty percent (50%) of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (i.e. $16,585.00) may be applied to the cost of space planning, architectural and mechanical drawings, Tenant’s cabling, furniture, fixtures and equipment, moving-related expenses and the like, for the Premises or any of Tenant’s premises at Two Paragon Centre.

Tenant shall submit to Landlord for Landlord’s approval a space plan for the improvements to the Premises (‘Tenant’s Space Plans”) prepared by Tenant’s architect showing the interior layout of the Premises and its integration with Building systems, core areas and the building shell improvements in sufficient detail to permit Landlord a reasonable opportunity to review and provide preliminary approval or comments regarding Tenant’s proposed interior design. Landlord shall review and approve or disapprove of Tenant’s Space Plans within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt thereof, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Landlord disapproves; either in whole or in part, of Tenant’s Space Plans, Landlord shall provide to Tenant with reasonable specificity Landlord’s reasons for its disapproval. Tenant shall promptly correct or otherwise address all disapproved items identified by Landlord. The revised final plans are referred to as “Final Plans.”

F. Substantial Completion. For purposes of this Lease, substantially complete means full completion, except

for minor or insubstantial details of construction, decoration or installation.

G. No Liability. Notwithstanding the review and approval by Landlord of Tenant’s Space Plans, the Final Plans and Specifications, Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability in regard to the safety, sufficiency, adequacy or legality thereof and Tenant shall be solely responsible for the compliance of such plans and specifications (and improvement constructed as a result hereof) with all applicable laws and regulations, the architectural completeness and sufficiency thereof and other matters relating thereto.
