OFFICE LEASE AGREEMENT

THIS OFFICE LEASE AGREEMENT (“Lease”) is entered into and shall be effective as of August 11, 2011 (“Effective Date”), by and between: (i) DTR10, L.L.C., an Arizona limited liability company (“Landlord”); and (ii) THE ▇▇▇▇▇▇ GROUP, INC., a Maryland corporation (“Tenant”).

Landlord and Tenant (collectively, “Parties” and individually, a “Party”) agree as follows:

1.                                      Premises.

(a)                            Lease. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Lease, Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hereby agrees to lease the Premises from Landlord.

(b)                            Project & Premises. The “Project” is the multi-building commercial office complex described in the Basic Lease Information and depicted on Exhibit A-1 to this Lease. The “Premises” are a portion of the three story office building identified as the “Building” in the Basic Lease Information and depicted on Exhibit A-1 to this Lease. In addition to the Premises and as further set forth in this Lease, Tenant will also have certain rights and obligations relating to the Parking Facilities and the Common Areas (both as defined below). The location of the Premises within the Building is depicted on Exhibit A-2 to this Lease (“Approved Plan”). The Premises will include all Tenant Improvements to be installed pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Rider attached as Exhibit B.

(c)                             Rentable Area. Prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense, calculate the number of square feet of rentable area (“Rentable Area”) of the Premises (“Final Calculation”). The Final Calculation will be correctly determined in a manner consistent with the BOMA Standard Method for Measuring Rentable Area in Office Buildings, ANSI Z 65.1-1996. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s expense, to verify the Final Calculation. If Tenant disagrees with the Final Calculation, Tenant and Landlord shall work together in good faith to reconcile any difference; provided, however, that the Final Calculation will, in all cases, be determined in a manner consistent with the BOMA Standard Method for Measuring Rentable Area in Office Buildings, ANSI Z 65.1-1996, consistently applied to the entire Building.

(d)                            Common Areas. During the Term, Tenant and its agents, employees and invitees shall have the nonexclusive right with others designated by Landlord to use all of the common areas (“Common Areas”) situated on or within the Building and/or Project. Common Areas include, but are not limited to, elevators, sidewalks, Parking Facilities, driveways, hallways, stairways, public bathrooms, common entrances, lobby areas and other similar public areas and access ways which are available for common use and are not part of the Premises or leased to, or used exclusively by, a specific tenant within the Project.

1

(e)                                  Project Operations. Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations and restrictive covenants. The Common Areas of the Project and Building and the exterior of the Building, including all related landscaping, shall be maintained and operated by Landlord in a manner consistent with Class A low-rise office buildings in Scottsdale, Arizona, free from any disruptive or annoying activities or events. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, to the best of Landlord’s knowledge, as of the Commencement Date, the Building and the Premises will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and codes, which includes, but is not limited to, the Americans With Disabilities Act, as amended.

(f)                                   Tenant’s Proportionate Share. Tenant’s proportionate share of those expenses that become payable to Landlord as Additional Rent under this Lease is the “Proportionate Share”. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses (as defined below) and Taxes (as defined below) shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the Rentable Area of the Premises, and the denominator of which is the rentable area of the Building. Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be adjusted from time to time during the Term, upon written notice to Tenant, as additional Rentable Area is added to, or deleted from, the Project or the Building, as the case may be.

2.                                      Term & Possession.

(a)                                 Base Term & Commencement Date.  The initial term of this Lease (“Base Term”) shall commence on the Commencement Date and, unless sooner terminated, shall expire on the Expiration Date described in the Basic Lease Information (“Expiration Date”). The Commencement Date of the Lease (“Commencement Date”) shall be as set forth in the Basic Lease Information, above.

(b)                                 Renewal Term.   Provided that (A) this Lease shall be in full force and effect, and (B) Tenant shall not then be in Default (as defined below), Tenant shall have the option (“Renewal Option”) to extend the Term of the Lease (for all, or any portion, of the Premises) for two (2) additional five (5) year periods (each, a “Renewal Term”) providing three hundred sixty-five (365) days prior written notice to Landlord (“Renewal Notice”). If Tenant elects to extend the Term of the Lease for anything less than ‘all’ of the Premises then, together with the Renewal Notice, Tenant shall submit a description of the portion of the Premises that Tenant elects to renew (“Renewal Premises”). The size and location of the Renewal Premises are subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord, the Parties agreeing that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold approval if the value and/or leaseability of the portion of the Premises Tenant is not renewing is impaired. Additionally, Tenant shall be responsible for the sole cost and expense of demising the Renewal Premises from the portion of the Premises Tenant is not renewing. The Annual Base Rent payable during the Renewal Term shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Rent. The Fair Market Rent shall be determined as follows:

(i)                                     “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the Annual Base Rent per square foot of Rentable Area within the Premises under then prevailing market conditions for leases beginning concurrently with the Renewal Term in question, with a lease term equal to or longer than the Renewal Term, based upon leases to tenants of comparable financial strength, of space

2

of comparable size and quality, in comparable buildings within the north Scottsdale, Arizona office sub-market, including annual increases in such Annual Base Rent provided for in such leases. The determination of Fair Market Rent, when making comparisons with other leases, shall take into consideration the manner in which base rental rates are computed based on the inclusion (or lack thereof) of rent concessions or other allowances, abatements, lease assumptions or take-overs, differences in terms and provisions of the applicable leases such as updated “expense stops” and/or pass-throughs of operating expenses, moving, tenant improvement and refurbishment allowances, parking rights, real estate leasing commissions, and the term of the lease (or renewal) under consideration (or adjustment of the rental rate as appropriate for differences therein).

(ii)                        Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (“Market Rate Notice”) of Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent (including the applicable Expense Stop and annual Base Rent adjustments) within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of Tenant’s Renewal Notice. If Tenant accepts Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent, Landlord will prepare an appropriate amendment to the Lease. If, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such Market Rate Notice, Tenant fails to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s objections to Landlord’s proposed Fair Market Rent, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s Fair Market Rent. If, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such Market Rate Notice, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of Tenant’s objections to Landlord’s proposed Fair Market Rent then the Parties agree to negotiate their differences in good faith within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s objection to Landlord. If the Parties fail to agree on a Fair Market Rent within the 30-day period, then Tenant shall have ten (10) days thereafter within which to withdraw its Renewal Notice or to notify Landlord of its desire to arbitrate the Fair Market Rent in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 2(b)(iii), below. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of its election within the 10-day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected to arbitrate the Fair Market Rent in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 2(b)(iii), below, and be bound by such arbitration.

(iii)                     If a continuing dispute concerning Fair Market Rent occurs and Tenant complies with the applicable notice requirements, Tenant and Landlord shall each appoint a local appraiser who is a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, or if it shall not then be in existence, a member of the most nearly comparable organization, and who has a minimum of five (5) years experience in the Scottsdale, Arizona commercial office leasing market, who is licensed by the State of Arizona, and who is not affiliated with either Party or involved in an active transaction in which either Party is also involved. Each Party shall notify the other as to the name and address of the appraiser selected within ten (10) days after the arbitration election date, and if either Party fails to select an appraiser, the Fair Market Rent shall be determined by the appraiser selected by the other Party. If two appraisers are selected, each appraiser shall, during the next fifteen (15) days, calculate the Fair Market Rent and notify both Parties and the other appraiser of its determination of Fair Market Rent. If the two appraisers agree upon a Fair Market Rent, such determination shall be final and binding on the Parties. If the difference between the Fair Market Rent calculated by each appraiser is One Dollar ($1.00) per square foot of Rentable Area or less during each year of the Renewal Term, the rates calculated by the two appraisers will be averaged and the resulting figures will be the agreed upon Fair Market Rent, and will be binding on Landlord and Tenant. If the difference between the rates calculated by each appraiser is more than One Dollar ($1.00) per rentable square foot,

3

the two appraisers shall select a third appraiser, who shall satisfy the same professional qualification requirements set forth above, and the appraisers will then notify Landlord and Tenant of such appraiser’s name, address and selection within ten (10) days following the appraisers’ failure to establish the Fair Market Rent in accordance with this Paragraph 2(b)(iii). The third appraiser will select one or the other of the two calculations of Fair Market Rent submitted by the other two appraisers (without deviating from such determinations) and will notify the Parties and the appraisers within ten (10) days of being selected to make the Fair Market Rent determination. The determination of the third appraiser shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant.

(iv)                              As used in this Lease, the word “Term” shall refer to the Base Term or any Renewal Term, as applicable.

(c)                                  Delivery of Premises.                              Subject to the early access provisions of Paragraph 2(d), below, Landlord will deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date, described in the Basic Lease Information.

(d)                                 Tenant Access.                Following the execution and delivery of this Lease by the Parties, Landlord shall permit Tenant (and its agents, employees, suppliers, contractors and consultants) to enter the Premises (and other portions of the Building as reasonably required) subject to Landlord’s reasonable safeguards including, but not limited to, hours of access and safety and security procedures without the payment of any sum, but subject to the other requirements and covenants, of this Lease, for the sole purpose of constructing the Tenant Work in accordance with Exhibit B and planning for and installing Tenant’s cabling, furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, inventories and supplies. Landlord will cooperate in good faith and cause Landlord’s venders and suppliers to cooperate in good faith with Tenant and Tenant’s agents, employees, suppliers, contractors and consultants to facilitate Tenant’s ability to have its business operations fully functional in the Premises on or immediately after the Commencement Date. Prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall cooperate in good faith with Landlord to avoid interference with any activity of Landlord contemplated by this Lease.

(e)                                  Early Termination Option.    Provided:  (i)  Landlord is unable to accommodate Tenant’s expansion requirements in the Project, as determined by Tenant in its reasonable, good faith discretion; and (ii) Tenant is not in Default under any provision of this Lease, beyond any notice and cure period provided herein, Tenant shall have the one-time option to terminate this Lease, as to all of the Premises, at the end of the 72nd calendar month following the Commencement Date (“Early Termination Date”) by providing written notice (“Termination Notice”) to Landlord no less than two hundred and seventy (270) days prior to the Early Termination Date. Tenant shall return the Premises in the condition otherwise required under this Lease on the Early Termination Date. From and after the delivery of a Termination Notice, Landlord (or its designated brokers or agents) shall have the right to show the Premises, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to Tenant. If Tenant elects to terminate the Lease on the Early Termination Date, Tenant shall, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the Early Termination Date, remit payment to Landlord of a fee (“Termination Fee”) equal to: (i) two (2) Monthly Base Rent payments (at the rate in effect on the Early Termination Date); and (ii) the unamortized portion of Landlord’s Costs (as defined below). For the purposes of this

4

Paragraph 2(e), the term “Landlord’s Costs” shall mean, collectively: (i) the cost of the Allowance (as defined below); (ii) the Moving Allowance (as defined below); (iii) the Tenancy Allowance (as defined below); (iv) any brokerage commissions paid by Landlord in connection with this Lease; and (v) subject to a $5,000 cap, any other direct costs incurred by Landlord in connection with this Lease. For the purposes of calculating the Termination Fee, Landlord’s Costs shall be subject to an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%). The Termination Fee shall be determined by amortizing Landlord’s Costs using the number of months remaining in the Base Term after the Early Termination Date as the numerator and one hundred and two (102) months as the denominator.

3.                                       Rent.

(a)                                 Annual Base Rent. The Annual Base Rent for the Base Term shall be the amounts set forth in the Basic Lease Information. Annual Base Rent shall be paid by Tenant in monthly installments equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Annual Base Rent for the applicable year of the Term (“Monthly Base Rent”), commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter for the balance of the Term. Tenant shall pay each installment of Monthly Base Rent in advance, without notice or demand, on or before the first Business Day of each and every calendar month to the party specified in the Basic Lease Information or to such other person or at such other address as Landlord may designate by written notice to Tenant from time to time. If the Commencement Date occurs on a date other than the first (1st) calendar day of a month, the first installment of Monthly Base Rent shall be prorated based upon a thirty (30) day calendar month.

(b)                                 Additional Rent.

(i)                                     Definitions.

directly to, and paid by, other Project tenants, occupants and users (including Tenant), interest or penalties incurred by reason of late payment of taxes, franchise taxes or similar taxes on Landlord’s business, inheritance, gift, transfer, net income and profit taxes, capital levies, special assessments levied against property other than real estate.

(ii)                                  Payment of Additional Rent.

(A)                               Subject to the Expense Stop, Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional rent (“Additional Rent”) for each calendar year, or portion thereof during the Term: (i) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes for such period that relate to the Building, generally; and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of Operating Expenses and Taxes for such period that relate exclusively to the Premises.

(B)                               Landlord agrees that in calculating any Operating Expenses payable by Tenant under this Lease, that portion of Operating Expenses which are controllable by Landlord (excluding, specifically, Taxes, Insurance, Utilities, and other items over which Landlord has no control) will not increase more than five percent (5%) over the amount of such controllable Operating Expenses for the calendar year in which the Commencement Date occurs. The Operating Expenses payable by Tenant that vary based on occupancy (i.e. janitorial and utilities) shall be subject to a 95% gross-up if actual occupancy of the Building falls below 100%.

(C)                               Commencing on the Commencement Date, and thereafter with respect to each full or partial calendar year during the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord, together with each installment of the Monthly Base Rent, an amount equal to the estimated Additional Rent for the applicable period. On or prior to the Commencement Date, and within thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of each calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a reasonable estimate of the monthly Additional Rent for the applicable period which shall be utilized for the purpose of calculating Tenant’s Additional Rent payment obligations under this Lease. Within ninety (90) days following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written statement (“Statement”) of Landlord’s actual Operating Expenses and Taxes for the prior calendar year (or applicable portion thereof). If Landlord’s estimate of the Additional Rent of the applicable period was less than the actual Additional Rent as set forth in the Statement, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of the Statement, pay the difference to Landlord. If Landlord’s estimate of the Additional Rent for the applicable period was greater than the actual Additional Rent as set forth in the Statement, Tenant shall receive a credit equal to the difference which shall be applied against the next monthly installment of Rent. Each Statement shall be sufficient to enable Tenant to compare the Statement to the definitions of Operating Expenses and Taxes set forth in this Lease. Each Statement shall provide detail reasonably sufficient for Tenant to differentiate between Operating Expenses that are attributable one hundred percent (100%) to the Premises and Operating Expenses that are subject to Tenant’s Proportionate Share. Tenant shall have the right to examine and copy at Landlord’s office during Landlord’s normal business hours, after reasonable notice to Landlord, any relevant back-up information or documentation requested in good faith by Tenant within sixty (60) days after receipt by Tenant of each Statement (“Tenant’s Audit”). Absent fraud or manifest error by Landlord, each Statement will be final if Tenant does not object

9

within ninety (90) days after receipt. If Landlord objects to the determination, Landlord shall select an independent third party auditor, reasonably approved by Tenant, and the determination by such auditor shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. Tenant shall pay the costs for the auditor unless it is determined that Tenant was overcharged by more then five percent (5%), in which case such costs shall be borne by Landlord.

(D)                               Subject to the following sentence, each year’s Taxes shall consist, absent a change in the relevant Laws, of the second half portion of the prior year’s Taxes and the first half portion of the current year’s Taxes. All Operating Expenses, Taxes and Additional Rent shall be computed on a cash basis, provided that no prepayment of any Operating Expense or Tax before its due date shall, regardless of date of payment, be included prior to its due date. Each Statement and all estimates of Operating Expenses and Taxes and reconciliation statements shall be prepared by Landlord according to generally accepted accounting principles, applied in a consistent manner.

(c)                                  Payment of Rent. All amounts payable or reimbursable by Tenant under this Lease, including Annual Base Rent, Additional Rent, Parking Fees (as defined below), Late Charges (as defined below) and interest (collectively, “Rent”), shall constitute and be payable and recoverable as Rent, in the manner provided in this Lease. All sums payable to Landlord on demand under the terms of this Lease shall be payable within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Tenant of notice (with any related supporting computations or documentation) from Landlord of the amounts due. Rent is payable in equal monthly installments (“Monthly Base Rent”), in advance, on the first day of each calendar month without further statement or notice from Landlord. All other sums payable to Landlord shall be payable, not more frequently than monthly, on the later of: (a) the due dates for such payments as set forth in this Lease; or (b) five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s statement therefor. All Rent shall, except as otherwise specifically provided in (or by way of recoupment of matured and liquidated obligations of Landlord under) this Lease, be paid without offset, recoupment or deduction in lawful money of the United States of America to Landlord at Landlord’s Address for Payment of Rent as set forth in the Basic Lease Information, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate. All other Rent items will be billed no more frequently than monthly, and will be included in one monthly statement.

(d)                                 Rental Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord with each installment of Monthly Base Rent, Operating Expenses, Parking Fees, Taxes, Additional Rent, or other Rent, the amount of any gross receipts, transaction privilege, sales or similar tax (“Rental Tax”), exclusive of any state or federal franchise tax or personal or corporate income tax measured by the income of Landlord, payable by Landlord on account of this Lease or Tenant’s payment of such items to, or on behalf of, Landlord.

(e)                                  Late Charge & Interest. If any payment of Rent is not received by Landlord within five (5) Business Days after its due date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as a late charge (“Late Charge”) a sum equal to five percent (5%) of the late payment. A late charge shall not be imposed more than once on any particular installment not paid when due, but imposition of a late charge on any payment not made when due does not eliminate late charges imposed on other payments not made when due or preclude imposition of a late charge on any other

10

payments not made when due. To the extent the payment of any sums by either Landlord or Tenant under this Lease require or permit the imposition of interest, the interest rate charged (“Interest Rate”) shall be fifteen percent (15%) per annum.

4.                                      Security Deposit. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

5.                                      Tenant Improvements & Alterations. The Parties shall perform their respective obligations with respect to design and construction of any improvements to be constructed and installed in the Premises (“Tenant Improvements”), as provided in the Tenant Improvement Rider. Except for any Tenant Improvements to be constructed by Landlord or Tenant as provided in this Lease or the Tenant Improvement Rider, Tenant shall not make any alterations, improvements or similar structural or non-structural changes to the Premises (“Alterations”), without Landlord’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s prior consent for interior nonstructural changes with a total project cost under $30,000. Any Alterations shall be completed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense: (i) with due diligence, in a lien free, good and workmanlike manner, using good materials; (ii) in compliance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord, if applicable, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iii) in compliance with any construction rules and regulations which have then been promulgated uniformly and in good faith and communicated by Landlord to Tenant; (iv) in accordance with all applicable Laws (including all work, whether structural or non-structural, inside or outside the Premises, required to comply fully with all applicable Laws and necessitated by Tenant’s work); and (v) subject to the conditions set forth in the following sentence which Landlord may in Landlord’s reasonable discretion impose at the time of giving the consent. The conditions permissibly imposed by Landlord shall be limited to requirements for Tenant to: (i) provide payment or performance bonds or additional insurance (from Tenant or Tenant’s contractors or design professionals, if the cost of work undertaken as a single project exceeds $75,000.00 and if Landlord would require such bonds or insurance if the contractors or professionals were retained by Landlord); (ii) use contractors or subcontractors approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (or withheld without a written explanation of the reason therefor); and (iii) remove all or part of the Alterations (except Tenant Improvements or Alterations paid for in whole or in part by Landlord) within thirty (30) days after expiration or termination of the Term, as specifically designated by Landlord at the time the Alterations are approved, or such Alterations will then become the property of Landlord and remain in the Premises. If any work outside the Premises, or any work on or adjustment to any of the Building systems, is required in connection with or as a result of Tenant’s Alterations, such work shall be performed at Tenant’s expense by contractors designated by Tenant but approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord’s right to review and approve (or withhold approval of) Tenant’s plans, drawings, specifications, contractors and other aspects of construction work for any Alterations proposed by Tenant is intended solely to protect Landlord, the Project and Landlord’s interests in the Project, and Landlord shall not withhold, condition or delay any such approval or any consent for any other reason. No approval or consent by Landlord shall be deemed or construed to be a representation or warranty by Landlord as to the adequacy, sufficiency, fitness or suitability thereof or compliance thereof with applicable Laws or other requirements. In addition to any Alteration paid for in whole or in part by Landlord, and subject to the following sentence, all Alterations which would be

11

fixtures under Arizona law if Tenant owned fee title to the Project shall upon installation become part of the Building and be the property of Landlord. Tenant may from time to time replace any Alterations upon satisfaction of all applicable requirements of this Section 5, provided that if any Alterations so replaced are the property of Landlord the replacement Alterations shall also be the property of Landlord.

6.                                      Use of Premises. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises for general office purposes related to the operation of a residential construction and other administrative support services and for no other purpose without Landlord’s prior consent. Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with the laws, rules and regulations of any federal, state or municipal authority, or the Arizona Fire Underwriters Rating Bureau, or with any notice from any public officer pursuant to law, or with any notice from any insurance company pertaining to Tenant’s occupancy or use of the Premises. Tenant shall immediately discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any governmental authority having jurisdiction to be in violation of law or the certificate of occupancy for the Building or the Premises. Tenant will not use or permit the Premises to be used for any purposes that interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Building by Landlord or the other tenants, or which, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, impair the reputation of the Building.

Tenant shall not do, or permit anything to be done in the Premises, or bring or keep anything therein, which will in any way increase the rate of fire insurance on the Building, or violate, invalidate or conflict with fire insurance policies on the Building, fixtures or on property kept therein; provided, however, that Tenant’s normal conduct of its business shall not violate this paragraph.

Tenant and Tenant’s employees and agents shall not handle, use, manufacture, store, release or dispose of any oil, petroleum or chemical liquids or solids, liquid or gaseous products or any hazardous waste or hazardous substance (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”), as those terms are used in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, or in any other federal, state or local law governing hazardous substances (collectively, “Act”), as such laws may be amended from time to time at, upon, under or within the Premises or the Building or the land on which it is built, or into the plumbing or sewer or water system servicing the Premises or the Building, nor shall Tenant, its employees or agents cause or permit the discharge, spillage, uncontrolled loss, seepage or filtration of any Hazardous Materials at, upon, under or within the Premises or the Building or the land or into the plumbing or sewer or water system servicing the same. Tenant shall comply in all respects with the requirements of the Act and related regulations, and shall notify Landlord immediately if Tenant discovers any Hazardous Materials at, upon, under or within the Premises or the Building or the land. Notwithstanding the foregoing, normal quantities and use of those Hazardous Materials customarily used in the conduct of general office activities, such as copier fluids and cleaning supplies, may be used and stored at the Premises without Landlord’s prior consent.

Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, damages, injunctions, suits, fines, penalties, claims, and demands, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of any violation of, or default with respect to, the covenants of this Section 6. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the expiration or early termination of the Term.

12

7.                                           Rules & Regulations. The Parties shall be bound by and comply with: (i) the rules and regulations attached to this Lease as Exhibit C to the extent those rules and regulations are not in conflict with any term or provision of this Lease; and (ii) any reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord for all tenants of the Building after the Effective Date, but only to the extent such rules and regulations are: (a) reasonably designed for the safety, care, order or cleanliness of the Common Areas; (b) do not unreasonably and materially interfere with Tenant’s conduct of its business or Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises, the Parking Facilities and the Common Areas; (c) do not require the payment of additional money by Tenant; and (d) are provided to Tenant in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the effectiveness of any such rule or regulation (collectively, “Rules and Regulations”). Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant or to any other person for any violation of, or failure to observe, the Rules and Regulations by any other tenant or other person (except Landlord), provided that notwithstanding any provision of the Rules and Regulations to the contrary, Landlord shall not unreasonably or selectively enforce the Rules and Regulations against Tenant and shall otherwise uniformly enforce all Rules and Regulations among tenants of the Building.

8.                                           Subletting & Assignment.

(a)                                 Consent. Tenant will not transfer or assign this Lease, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof or transfer possession or occupancy of the Premises to any person, firm or corporation other than a Tenant Affiliate without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (collectively, “Permitted Transfer”). Tenant may transfer or assign this Lease, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof or transfer possession or occupancy of the Premises without Landlord’s consent if the transfer or assignment is to a Tenant Affiliate and such Tenant Affiliate’s intended use of the Premises and credit is comparable to Tenant. A sale, transfer, assignment or other conveyance of more than a fifty-one percent (51%) ownership interest in Tenant in a single or series of related transactions to a party other than a Tenant Affiliate shall be an assignment for purposes of this Section 8. The term, “Tenant Affiliate” shall mean any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant or a successor to Tenant by reason of merger, consolidation or other form of reorganization, conversion to a different form of entity or acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Tenant as a going concern. Any net profits derived from an assignment or sublease to an approved third party will be split between Landlord and Tenant on a 50/50 basis. As used in this Paragraph 8(a), the term “net profits” shall mean: (i) the total consideration paid by the assignee or subtenant for use of the Premises; less (ii) the Rent due under this Lease for the corresponding period. With respect to a Permitted Transfer to an approved third party which is an assignment of the Lease, Tenant’s interest in net profits (if any) will only arise from, or relate to, income derived with respect to the original Premises during the Base Term or any Renewal Term(s).

(b)                                 Tenant Liability. Unless expressly released by Landlord, if there is any assignment or Permitted Transfer of this Lease or subletting of the Premises, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for payment of the Rent and any other amounts due to Landlord under this Lease and all other covenants and conditions of Tenant contained in this Lease.

13

(c)                                  Sale of Premises or Assignment by Landlord. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease shall mean the owner of the Project at the time in question. If there is a transfer (whether voluntary or involuntary) by such owner of its interest in the Project, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged from all covenants and obligations of the Lease thereafter accruing (but not from liability for any uncured Default existing on the date of transfer) if: (i) the new owner expressly agrees in writing to assume all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease; and (ii) any Tenant funds that Landlord is holding are delivered to the new owner.

9.                                      Services & Utilities.

(a)                                 Building Standard Services & Utilities. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense and as a component of the Operating Expenses, furnish to the Premises: (i) reasonable amounts of heat, ventilation and air-conditioning to maintain temperatures for comfortable use and occupancy of the Premises during all Standard HVAC Hours specified in the Basic Lease Information (“Standard HVAC Hours”); (ii) electricity at all times that provides electric current in reasonable amounts for all normal office and administrative purposes (which shall be 7.5 ▇▇▇▇▇ per square foot of Rentable Area); (iii) janitorial and trash removal services each Sunday through Thursday (except public holidays) after 6:30 p.m.; (iv) automatic passenger elevator service at all times on a non-exclusive basis through the elevator located in the Building’s lobby; (v) hot and cold running water at all times sufficient for drinking, lavatory, toilet and ordinary cleaning purposes to be drawn from approved fixtures in the Premises; (vi) building standard fluorescent lamp, lighting tube, bulb and lamp ballast replacement; (vii) perimeter window washing, inside and out, at least twice each year; (viii) extermination and pest control when and as reasonably required; (ix) maintenance of all Common Areas, including cleaning, HVAC, illumination, signage, lawn care and landscaping maintenance; (x) Common Area toilet room supplies; (xi) maintenance, lighting, cleaning and striping of the Parking Facilities; and (xii) high-speed internet services provided by Qwest or an equivalent. All services described in the preceding sentence shall be at least consistent with those customarily furnished in Class A low-rise office buildings in Scottsdale, Arizona. Any cable, internet, phone or fiber use fees or similar charges applicable to Tenant or the Premises shall be billed to, and paid separately by, Tenant. Any additional utilities or services that Landlord may agree to provide (including lamp or tube replacement for other than building standard lighting fixtures) shall be at Tenant’s sole expense.

(b)                                 Additional Services. Landlord shall furnish HVAC services at times other than Standard HVAC Hours, which Tenant may obtain by operating thermostats or other controls for distinct zones in the Premises. Tenant, in addition to all other amounts due under this Lease, shall pay Landlord for excess HVAC services based on an hourly basis at the rate of $5.00 per hour per zone. Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole discretion, have the Premises separately metered for electricity, in which case Tenant shall not be required to pay a separate fee for using HVAC services at times other than Standard HVAC Hours, and the total electrical expense for the Premises shall be deemed to be an Operating Expense for which Tenant is entirely responsible pursuant to Paragraph 3(b)(ii)(A), above.

(c)                                  Interruption of Service. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any interruption or failure in the supply of any utilities (including, without limitation, cable, phone and /or fiber) to the Premises. Landlord reserves the right to interrupt service of the heat, plumbing, air conditioning, cooling, electric, and sewer and water systems, when reasonably

14

necessary, by reason of accident, or of repairs, alterations or improvements which in the good faith judgment of Landlord are desirable or necessary to be made, until such repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed; and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply heat, plumbing, air conditioning, cooling, electric, and sewer and water service, or other service or act for the benefit of Tenant, when prevented from so doing by Force Majeure or by orders or regulations of any federal, state, county, or municipal authority (Landlord and Tenant shall each adhere to and abide by such orders and regulations without any reduction in rent or in any of Tenant’s other obligations hereunder), and Tenant agrees that Tenant shall have no claim for damages nor shall there be any abatement of Annual Base Rent if any of said systems or service shall be discontinued or shall fail to function for any reason other than Landlord’s negligence or failure to perform its obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Tenant, in advance, of any planned interruptions and to minimize interference with Tenant’s business.

(d)                                 Excessive Electrical Usage. Tenant will not install or operate in the Premises any heavy duty electrical equipment or machinery which is inconsistent with office electrical equipment or machinery typically used by tenants within Class A low-rise office buildings in Scottsdale, Arizona, without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed..

10.                               Maintenance & Repairs.

(a)                            Landlord shall maintain or cause to be maintained in reasonably good order, condition and repair, all structural portions of the roof, foundations, floors, and exterior walls of the Building, all Building systems and all public and Common Areas of the Project (including, without limitation, the Parking Facilities, elevators and Common Area restrooms, building standard electrical, lighting, mechanical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning systems, and building standard fluorescent light bulbs) in a manner comparable with other Class A low-rise office buildings in Scottsdale, Arizona; provided, however, that Tenant shall pay the cost of repairs for any physical damage to the Project or the Premises occasioned by the misuse or primary negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents or invitees, to the extent (if any) not covered by Landlord’s property insurance or the insurance Landlord is required to carry pursuant to this Lease. Tenant shall promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition actually known to Tenant which Landlord is required to repair. All repairs, replacements and maintenance required of Landlord shall be made: (i) within a reasonable time (depending on the nature of the repair, replacement or maintenance required) after receiving notice from Tenant or having actual knowledge, without duty of inquiry, of the need for such repair, replacement or maintenance; and (ii) in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s ability to conduct Tenant’s business in the Premises. To any extent that Tenant’s ability to use and enjoy the Premises is impaired by Landlord’s breach of the preceding sentence, Tenant shall receive a proportionate abatement of Rent for the period of such impairment.

(b)                            Tenant will keep the Premises and the fixtures and equipment therein in reasonably good order and condition, normal wear and tear excepted. During the Term, and subject to Landlord’s cleaning, repair and maintenance obligations, Tenant at Tenant’s expense, but under the good faith direction of Landlord, shall repair and maintain the interior of the

15

Premises, including the interior walls, floor coverings, ceiling (ceiling tiles and grid), interior Tenant Improvements and any appliances (including dishwashers, hot water heaters and garbage disposals) in the Premises, and keep the Premises in a clean, safe and orderly condition.

(c)                                  Subject to the requirements of this Lease, Landlord reserves the right at any time and from time to time, without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability to Tenant or otherwise affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to make changes, alterations, additions, deletions, improvements, repairs, relocations or replacements in or to the Building and the fixtures and equipment thereof, as well as in or to the street entrances, halls, passages, stairways and other Common Areas, and to change the name by which the Building is commonly known and/or the Building’s address. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to install, use, maintain, repair and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment for service to other parts of the Building, above the ceiling surfaces, below the floor surfaces, within the walls and in the central core areas, and to relocate any pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment included in the Premises which are located in the Premises or located elsewhere outside the Premises. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be deemed to relieve Tenant of any duty, obligation or liability with respect to making any repair, replacement or improvement or complying with any law, order or requirement of any government or other authority and nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to impose upon Landlord any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever, for the care, supervision or repair of the Building, or any part thereof, other than as expressly provided in this Lease.

(d)                                 Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, any and all injury, breakage or damage of any type whatsoever to the Premises or to other portions of the Building, arising from any act or omission of Tenant or its agents, employees, licensees, invitees or contractors, shall be repaired by Landlord at the sole expense of Tenant (net of insurance proceeds received by Landlord). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs of such repairs within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of written notice from Landlord of such costs. This provision shall be construed as an additional remedy granted to Landlord and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies which Landlord may have.

11.                               Signs & Advertisements.

(a)                                 Landlord agrees to display, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to Tenant’s right to use the Allowance for such costs), Tenant’s name on the Building directory or directories in the size and style or lettering typically used by Landlord. The number of individual names listed on the Building directory or directories shall be subject to such reasonable limitation as shall be established from time to time by Landlord. Tenant may install Building standard suite entry signage at the entrance to the Premises, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to Tenant’s right to use the Allowance for such costs).

(b)                                 Except as set forth in Paragraph 11(c), no sign, advertisement or notice shall be inscribed, painted, affixed or displayed on any part of the outside or the inside of the Building, or inside of the Premises where it may be visible from outside or from the public areas of the Building, except with Landlord’s prior written consent and then only in such location,

16

number, size, color and style (i.e., Building standard lettering) as is authorized by Landlord. If any such sign, advertisement or notice is exhibited without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent, Landlord shall have the right to remove same, and Tenant shall be liable for any and all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with said removal.

(c)                                  Tenant shall be permitted one (1) sign on the exterior of the Building (“Building Sign”), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to Tenant’s right to use the Allowance for such costs), in a location to be reasonably determined by Landlord. The size of the Building Sign shall not exceed the maximum permitted by the City of Scottsdale, and any applicable owner’s association. The right to a Building Sign is personal to Tenant. The location, design, and other specifications of the Building Sign shall be consistent with Landlord’s comprehensive sign plan, subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord, the City of Scottsdale and any applicable owner’s association.

(d)                                 Landlord shall have the right to prohibit any published advertisement of Tenant which in Landlord’s good faith opinion tends to impair the image or reputation of the Building or its desirability as a Class A office building. Upon written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall immediately refrain from and discontinue any such advertisement.

12.                               Excessive Floor Load. Landlord shall have the right to prescribe the weight and method of installation and position of safes, filing facilities or other heavy fixtures or equipment. Tenant will not, without Landlord’s prior written approval, install in the Premises any fixtures, equipment or machinery that will place a load upon the floor exceeding the designed floor load capacity. Tenant shall be liable for all damage (other than normal and reasonable wear and tear) done to the Building by installing or removing a safe or any other article of Tenant’s office equipment, or due to its being in the Premises.

13.                               Moving & Deliveries. Except upon initial move-in and move-out, no freight, furniture or other bulky matter of any description shall be received into the Building or carried in the elevators, without Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall promptly remove from the public areas within or adjacent to the Building any of Tenant’s property delivered or deposited there, and shall be responsible for any damage to the Building or the Premises caused by its moving and deliveries.

14.                               Parking Facilities.

(a)                                 Uncovered Parking. Landlord will at all times during the Term maintain a minimum of fifty-three (53) uncovered, unreserved parking spaces (“General Parking Spaces”) on the Property which will be available for Tenant’s nonexclusive use.

Landlord will at all times during the Term maintain a minimum of fifty-three (53) covered reserved parking spaces (“Covered Reserved Parking Spaces”) for Tenant’s exclusive use. At any time during the Term, Tenant shall have the ongoing right to lease an additional thirteen (13) Covered Reserved Parking Spaces (“Additional Covered Reserved Parking Spaces”) by providing Landlord with one (1) full calendar month

17

prior written notice; provided, however, Tenant shall also have the ongoing right during to the Term to discontinue leasing the Additional Covered Reserved Parking Spaces two times per year by providing Landlord with one (1) full calendar month prior written notice. On the Commencement Date, Tenant shall commence payment of a Parking Fee for each Covered Reserved Parking Space provided to Tenant at the rate of $50.00 per space per month plus any applicable Rental Tax. Such rate shall remain fixed throughout for the term of this Lease. All Parking Fees shall be payable, in advance and without demand, together with each installment of Monthly Base Rent.

(c)                                  General. The General Parking Spaces and the Covered Reserved Parking Spaces shall be referred to collectively in this Lease as the “Parking Facilities.” The Parking Facilities shall include, as applicable, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of: (i) handicapped General Parking Spaces; (ii) handicapped Covered Reserved Parking Spaces; (iii) visitor General Parking Spaces; and (iv) visitor Covered Reserved Parking Spaces, located at the Property.

Tenant shall have access to the Building and the Common Areas twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, by means of a key or an electronic security system. Tenant shall, upon termination of the Lease, return to Landlord all keys to the Building. Landlord reserves the right to require a refundable deposit on Building keys and security access cards, which deposit shall be returned to Tenant at the time such keys and cards are returned to Landlord. Additional keys or security access cards required by Tenant for any reason will be provided upon Tenant’s payment of a fee as reasonably determined by Landlord. If Tenant installs separate or replacement locks or access devices on or within the Premises, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with all necessary keys, access cards and access codes in order to insure that Landlord has and maintains access to the Premises as otherwise provided in this Lease.

(b)                                 Landlord’s Access to Premises. Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, including emergencies determined by Landlord: (a) to make inspections or to make repairs to the Premises or other premises as Landlord may deem necessary; (b) to perform nightly cleaning of the Premises (notice and Tenant representative not required); (c) to exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants during the last six (6) months of the Term; (d) to install signage on the exterior of the Building for other tenants; (e) to access Building common rooms (i.e. electric, mechanical, telecommunications, etc.) and (f) for any purpose whatsoever relating to the safety, protection or preservation of the Building.

Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference to Tenant’s business when making repairs or otherwise accessing

18

the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease, but Landlord shall not be required to perform the repairs at any time other than during normal working hours.

(c)                                  Restricted Access. No additional locks, other devices or systems, including without limitation alarm systems, which would restrict access to the Premises shall be placed upon any doors without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, at its sole cost, install a card key access system for the Premises, so long as Landlord is provided with at least two (2) access card keys for such system. Tenant will keep such system in good operating condition and repair, the cost of which will be Tenant’s sole responsibility. Unless access to the Premises is provided during the hours when cleaning service is normally rendered, Landlord shall not be responsible for providing such service to the Premises or to those portions thereof which are inaccessible. Such inability by Landlord to provide cleaning service to inaccessible areas shall not entitle Tenant to any adjustment in Rent.

16.                               Liability.

(a)                                 Personal Property. All personal property of Tenant (including but not limited to furniture, equipment, trade fixtures and merchandise) located in the Premises or in the Building shall be at the sole risk of Tenant. Landlord, its agents and employees shall not be liable for any damage thereto, unless such damage is directly attributable to the negligent or willful acts of Landlord, its agents or employees. Landlord, its agents and employees shall not be liable for any accident or damage to property of Tenant resulting from the use or operation of elevators or of the heating, cooling, electrical or plumbing apparatus, unless caused by and due to the negligent or willful acts of Landlord, its agents or employees. Tenant hereby expressly releases Landlord, its agents and employees from any liability incurred or claimed by reason of damage to Tenant’s property except for damage caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees. Landlord, its agents and employees shall not be liable in damages, nor shall this Lease be affected, for conditions arising or resulting, and which affect the Building, due to construction on contiguous premises.

(b)                                 Criminal Acts of Third Parties. Landlord, its agents and employees shall not be liable in any manner to Tenant, its agents, employees, licensees or invitees for any injury or damage to Tenant, Tenant’s agents, employees, licensees or invitees or their property caused by the criminal or intentional misconduct of third parties unless such injury or damage is the proximate result of Landlord’s breach of any term or provision of this Lease, or the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees.

(c)                                  Tenant Indemnity. Subject to the terms and conditions otherwise set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord, Landlord’s property manager, and their respective owners, members, employees and agents, and save them harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expense in connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon or at the Premises (and/or the Common Areas) if proximately caused by and due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents or employees, or the occupancy or use by Tenant of the Premises (and/or the Common Areas), or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees unless proximately caused by

19

and due to the negligent or willful acts of Landlord, its agents or employees. If Landlord, the property manager, or their respective agents or employees shall, without fault on its or their part, be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then Tenant shall protect and hold the same harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or paid in connection with such litigation.

(d)                                 Landlord Indemnity. Subject to the terms and conditions otherwise set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall indemnify Tenant, and Tenant’s respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents and save them harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses in connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property arising from or out of the occurrence in, upon or at the Premises and/or the Common Areas, or the occupancy or use by Landlord of the Premises and/or the Common Areas or any part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees. If Tenant or its respective agents or employees shall, without fault on its or their part, be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Landlord, then Landlord shall protect and hold the same harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or paid in connection with such litigation.

17.                               Insurance.

(a)                                 Liability Insurance. Each Party shall maintain in full force throughout the Term commercial general liability insurance providing coverage on an occurrence form basis with limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) each occurrence for bodily injury and property damage combined and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) annual general aggregate coverage. Each Party’s liability insurance policy or policies shall: (i) include premises liability broad form property damage coverage and personal injury coverage; (ii) provide that the insurance company has the duty to defend all insureds under the policy; (iii) provide that defense costs are paid in addition to and do not deplete any of the policy limits; (iv) cover liabilities arising out of or incurred in connection with the Premises or the Project, as applicable; and (v) extend coverage to cover liability for the actions of each Party’s employees, agents and invitees. Each policy of liability insurance required by this Section 17 shall: (i) contain a cross liability endorsement or separation of insureds clause; (ii) provide that any waiver of subrogation rights or release prior to a loss does not void coverage; (iii) provide that it is primary to and not contributing with, any policy of insurance carried by the other Party covering the same loss; (iv) provide that any failure to comply with the reporting provisions shall not affect coverage provided to the other Party; and (v) name the non-procuring Party, and the Property Manager identified in the Basic Lease Information (“Property Manager”), and such other parties in interest as the non-procuring Party may from time to time reasonably designate to the procuring Party in writing, as additional insureds. Such additional insureds shall be provided at least the same extent of coverage as is provided to the procuring Party under such policies.

(b)                                 Property Insurance. Each Party shall at all times maintain in effect with respect to its personal property at the Project (including, with respect to Tenant, any Alterations and trade fixtures owned by Tenant), commercial property insurance providing coverage, on an “all risk” or “special form” basis, in an amount equal to at least 90% of the full replacement cost of

20

the covered property. Either Party may carry such insurance under a blanket policy, provided that such policy provides coverage equivalent to a separate policy. During the Term, the proceeds from any such policies of insurance relating to losses incurred with respect to the Project shall be used for the repair or replacement of the property so insured. In each case, the non-procuring Party shall be provided coverage under such insurance to the extent of its insurable interest (if any) and, if requested by the non-procuring Party, both Landlord and Tenant shall sign all documents reasonably necessary or proper in connection with the settlement of any claim or loss under such insurance. Landlord will have no obligation to carry insurance on any Alterations or on Tenant’s trade fixtures or personal property, and Tenant will have no obligation to carry insurance on any of Landlord’s personal property.

(c)                                  Building Insurance. Landlord shall maintain in effect insurance on the Building and Parking Facilities and Tenant Improvements with responsible insurers, on an “all risk” or “special form” basis, insuring the Building and Parking Facilities and Tenant Improvements in the amount of the full replacement cost thereof, excluding land. The insurance shall include an extended coverage endorsement of the kind required by an institutional lender to repair and restore the Building (including the Tenant Improvements) and the Parking Facilities. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, carry insurance against additional perils and/or in greater amounts, provided that any such additional insurance is of a type and amount carried by owners of comparable Class A office space in the Scottsdale metropolitan area. Landlord’s liability coverage on the Common Areas will insure Tenant against liability for the acts or omissions of Landlord and its employees, agents and representatives.

(d)                                 Requirements For All Policies. Each policy of insurance required under this Section 17 shall: (i) be in a form, and written by an insurer, reasonably acceptable to the non-procuring Party; (ii) be maintained at the procuring Party’s sole cost and expense; and (iii) require at least thirty (30) days’ (or such lesser period as is reasonably available) written notice to the non- procuring Party prior to any cancellation, nonrenewal or modification of insurance coverage. All insurance companies issuing such policies shall be admitted carriers licensed to do business in Arizona. Each Party shall provide to the other, upon request, evidence that the insurance required to be carried by it pursuant to this Section 17, including any endorsement effecting additional insured status, is in full force and effect and that premiums therefor have been paid.

(e)                                  Updating Coverage. The amounts of insurance required by this Section 17 shall be reviewed and revised, three years after the Commencement Date and each three years thereafter, to maintain approximately the same level of coverage that exists on the Commencement Date, considering the coverage then carried by prudent landlords and tenants for Class A low-rise office buildings in Scottsdale, Arizona.

(f)                                   Proof of Insurance. Prior to occupancy of the Premises by Tenant, and not less than thirty (30) days prior to expiration of any policy thereafter, each Party shall furnish to the other Party reasonably acceptable proof of insurance reflecting that the insurance required by this Section 17 is in force, accompanied by an endorsement showing the required additional insureds reasonably requested by the other Party. Such proof may consist of a certificate or a certified copy of each insurance policy required to be in force at any time pursuant to the requirements of this Lease.

21

(g)                                  Notice of Fire and Accident. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice in case of fire, theft, or accidents in the Premises, and in case of fire, theft or accidents in the Building if involving Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees.

(h)                                 Waiver of Subrogation. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable (by way of subrogation or otherwise) to the other party (or to any insurance company insuring the other party) for any loss or damage to the Premises or to the property of either party covered by insurance to the extent of such insurance and all casualty insurance and other insurance carried either by Landlord or Tenant covering losses arising out of destruction or damage to the Premises or its contents or to other portions of the Building shall provide for a waiver of subrogation against Landlord and Tenant respectively on the part of the insurance company, and Landlord and Tenant mutually waive all right of recovery against each other, their agents, or employees for any loss, damage or injury of any nature whatsoever to property or person for which either party is required by this Lease to carry insurance.

18.                               Damage by Casualty.

(a)                                 Fire or Casualty Damage. If there is damage or destruction of the Premises by fire or any other casualty, this Lease shall not be terminated, except as provided in Paragraph 18(c), but the Premises shall be promptly and fully repaired and restored by Landlord to the extent of available insurance proceeds.

(b)                                 Untenantability. If the condition referred to in Paragraph 18(a) is such so as to make the entire Premises untenantable, then the rent which Tenant is obligated to pay hereunder shall ▇▇▇▇▇ as of the date of the occurrence until the Premises have been fully and completely restored by Landlord. If the Premises are partially damaged or destroyed, then during the period until Landlord completes restoration of the damaged portion of the Premises, Tenant shall be required to pay rent covering only that part of the Premises that it is able to occupy, based on the Rentable Area of the Premises that can be occupied compared to the total Rentable Area of the Premises. Any repair or restoration to be performed by Landlord under this Section 18 shall be limited to those portions of the Premises which were constructed by Landlord or are Landlord’s responsibility to maintain or repair. Tenant, at its own expense, shall repair or replace its furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, personal property and other items belonging to Tenant, and any leasehold improvements constructed by Tenant, which are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty. Except as hereinabove set forth, no compensation, or claim, or diminution of rent will be allowed or paid by Landlord, by reason of inconvenience, annoyance, or injury to business, arising from the necessity of repairing the Premises or any portion of the Building of which they are a part.

(c)                                  Right to Terminate. If the Premises are substantially or totally destroyed by fire or other casualty so as to be substantially untenantable, and it shall require more than one hundred twenty (120) days for Landlord to complete restoration of same, or at the time of the casualty less than one (1) year remains of the Term, then either Landlord or Tenant, upon written notice to the other, may terminate this Lease, in which case the Rent shall be apportioned and paid to the date of said fire or other casualty. If the Premises are substantially or totally

22

destroyed by fire or other casualty so as to be substantially untenantable and neither Party hereto elects to terminate the Lease pursuant to this paragraph, but Landlord does not timely complete Landlords repair obligations, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord fifteen (15) days prior written notice, in which case the Rent shall be apportioned and paid to the dates of said fire or other casualty.

19.                               Condemnation. If the whole or a substantial part of the Project or the Building shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to said authority to prevent such taking (collectively, a “Taking”), either Landlord or Tenant, by written notice to the other Party, shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority, and Rent shall be apportioned as of that date. For purposes of this Section 19, a substantial part of the Premises or the Building shall be considered to have been taken if the taking shall render the Building commercially impractical or undesirable for Landlord to permit this Lease to continue or to continue operating the Building. Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation arising out of or related to such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant. If neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, the Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant pursuant to Section 3 shall be adjusted (based on the ratio that the number of square feet of Rentable Area taken from the Premises bears to the number of square feet of Rentable Area in the Premises immediately prior to such taking) as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority. Nothing contained in this Section 19 shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property, fixtures or the leasehold interest belonging to Tenant, as long as such award is made in addition to and separately stated from any award made to Landlord for the Premises and the Building or any loss of income associated with the condemnation. Landlord shall have no obligation to contest any taking.

20.                               Default & Remedies.

(a)                                 Default. Each of the following shall be deemed a default (“Default”) by Tenant and a breach of this Lease:

(i)                                     subject to the provisions of Paragraph 20(b), below, a failure by Tenant to pay any Rent when due if such payment is not made within three (3) Business Days after Landlord provides written notice of non-payment to Tenant; or

(ii)                                  an assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises in violation of Section 8; or

(iii)                               a failure by Tenant to cure or correct any violation, breach or failure in the observance or performance of any other term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be observed or performed, within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of written notice describing, in reasonable detail, the nature of the Default or, if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant fails within such

23

thirty (30) day period to commence, and thereafter to diligently proceed to completion with, all actions necessary to cure the Default as soon as reasonably possible; or

(iv)                              subject to the provisions of Paragraph 20(c), below, Tenant’s abandonment of, or suspension of business in, the Premises; or

(v)                                 any material and adverse misrepresentation by Tenant to Landlord in connection with the negotiation and/or execution of this Lease.

(b)                                 Special Default Notice Rule.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 20(a)(i), above, Landlord shall not be required to provide Tenant with written notice of non-payment more than one (1) time in any twenty-four (24) month period during the Term. Accordingly, if Tenant fails to make any Rent payment when due and Landlord provided Tenant written notice of non-payment of Rent anytime within the prior twenty-four (24) month period, Landlord shall not be required to provide written notice of non-payment with respect to that payment and a Default will exist if such payment is not made within five (5) Business Days following the applicable due date.

(c)                                  Special Suspension of Business Rule. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 20(a)(iv), above, Tenant’s suspension of business in the Premises shall not be a Default if, and so long as, Tenant maintains the lobby area of the Premises, and any office space(s) within the Premises that are visible from the Building’s Common Areas, in a furnished and decorated manner which is consistent with the level of furnishing and decoration that existed when Tenant occupied the Premises. If Tenant suspends business in the Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 20(c): (i) Landlord shall have access to the Premises for the purpose of (A) maintaining lighting during Standard HVAC Hours, and (B) showing the Premises to prospective tenants or users; (ii) Tenant shall remain liable and responsible for all Rent and other payments and obligations under the Lease (including, without limitation, Parking Fees), regardless of use or physical occupancy; and (iii) Landlord may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant, in which case Tenant shall have no further liability under this Lease, other than as set forth in Section 23, below.

(d)                                 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of a Default by Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to remedy such default as follows:

(i)                                     Landlord shall have the right, immediately or at any time thereafter, without further notice to Tenant, to enter the Premises, without terminating this Lease or being guilty of trespass, and do any and all acts as Landlord may deem reasonably necessary, proper or convenient to cure such Default, for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Additional Rent all damage and/or expense reasonably incurred by Landlord in so doing.

(ii)                                  Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and, with or without legal process, take possession of the Premises and remove Tenant, any occupant and any property therefrom, using such force as may be reasonably necessary, without being guilty of trespass and without relinquishing any right of

24

Landlord against Tenant. No act or thing done by Landlord shall be deemed to be an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises unless Landlord shall execute a written agreement of surrender with Tenant. Tenant’s liability shall not be terminated by the execution of a new lease of the Premises by Landlord. After such a dispossession or removal, (1) the Rent and other charges which are the obligation of Tenant shall be paid up to the date of Landlord’s re-entry, (2) Landlord may re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may, at the option of Landlord, be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease, and (3) Tenant shall pay to Landlord any deficiency between the sum of the Rent and other charges due hereunder plus the reasonable costs of re-letting the Premises (including broker’s and attorneys’ fees, and the cost of alterations, repairs and replacements reasonably necessary to re-let the Premises) and the amount of rents and other charges collected on account of the new lease or leases of the Premises for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease (not including any renewal periods, the commencement of which shall not have occurred prior to such dispossession or removal). Such deficiency shall be paid by Tenant in monthly installments on the dates specified in this Lease for payment of Rent, and any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding. In the alternative, Landlord shall have the right to exercise all or any of the rights and remedies afforded Landlord under law including, but not limited to, the right to terminate this Lease and recover Landlord’s damages incurred as a result thereof. The damages Landlord may recover against Tenant include, but are not limited to, any Late Charge(s) otherwise due, the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that the Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, together with interest on all unpaid sums at the Interest Rate. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws if Tenant is being evicted or being dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of the default by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.

(e)                                  Right of Landlord to Cure Tenant’s Default. If Tenant defaults in the making of any payment to any third party, or doing any act required to be made or done by Tenant relating to the Premises, then Landlord may, but shall not be required to, make such payment or do such act. The amount of any resulting expense or cost to Landlord, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, accruing from the date paid by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord and shall constitute Additional Rent hereunder, due and payable by Tenant upon receipt of a written statement of costs from Landlord. The making of such payment or the doing of such act by Landlord shall not operate to cure Tenant’s default, nor shall it prevent Landlord from the pursuit of any remedy to which Landlord would otherwise be entitled.

(f)                                   Lien fbr Rent. Upon any Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have a lien upon the property of Tenant in the Premises for the amount of any unpaid Rent. In such event, Tenant shall not remove any of Tenant’s property from the Premises except with the prior written consent of Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right and privilege, at its option, to take possession of all property of Tenant in the Premises, to store the same on the Premises, or to

25

remove it and store it in such place as may be selected by Landlord, at Tenant’s risk and expense. Notwithstanding any conflicting provision of this Lease or any other provision of the Arizona Revised Statutes, Landlord shall never have any lien on or other right of any nature in, on or with respect to any records, media, files, computers or other items containing any confidential or privileged information relating to Tenant’s business or clients.

(g)                                  Attorneys’ Fees. Tenant agrees to pay all costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) on any part of any sums due Landlord that may be collected by an attorney, suit, distress or foreclosure; and further, if Tenant fails to promptly and fully perform and comply with each and every condition and covenant hereunder and the matter is turned over to Landlord’s attorney, Tenant shall pay Landlord a reasonable attorneys’ fee plus costs, where necessary, whether suit is instituted or not.

(h)                                 Landlord’s Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies of Landlord herein enumerated shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or remedy allowed by law. For the purposes of any suit brought or based hereon, this Lease shall be construed to be a divisible contract, to the end that successive actions may be maintained on this Lease as successive periodic sums mature hereunder.

(i)                                     Landlord’s Default.

(i)                                     If Landlord fails to perform or comply in any material manner with any provision of this Lease, Tenant may give Landlord notice of the default and Landlord shall have: (i) five (5) Business Days to cure the default, if the default can be cured by the payment of money; and (ii) thirty (30) days to cure the default, if the default cannot be cured by the payment of money, but if a non-monetary default cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord will have such additional time as may be reasonably necessary to cure the default so long as Landlord promptly commences to cure the default within the 30-day period and diligently proceeds to complete such cure.

(ii)                                  If any default by Landlord continues beyond the applicable cure period set forth in Paragraph 20(i)(i), above, Tenant may pursue its rights and remedies under this Lease and Arizona Law, excepting only the right of offset or deduction of Rent, unless such remedy is expressly conferred by this Lease. In addition, Tenant may cure a default on Landlord’s behalf, and the costs expended by Tenant in good faith to do so shall be paid by Landlord upon demand together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate. If Landlord fails to pay any sum due Tenant after default and such failure continues for more than three (3) Business Days after additional notice by Tenant to Landlord and Landlord’s lender, Tenant shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies under this Lease and Arizona law, the right to offset such amounts against all payments of Rent subsequently accruing until such amount with interest at the Interest Rate is recovered in full, except that no more than fifty percent (50%) of any installment of Rent shall be offset. Upon the giving of twenty-four (24) hours notice to Landlord, Tenant shall also have the right to self-help if Landlord fails to provide heating, ventilation and air conditioning services to the Premises in the manner required by this Lease and in such event any amounts expended by Tenant shall be payable by Landlord on demand together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate and Tenant shall have, in addition to any other

26

rights and remedies under this Lease and Arizona Law, the right to offset such amounts against all payments of Rent subsequently accruing until such amount with interest is recovered in full, except that no more than fifty percent (50%) of any installment of Rent shall be offset.

(j)                                    Non-Waiver. Acceptance of partial payment of Rent or other partial performance, with or without the accepting Parties’ knowledge of a Default or Potential Default by the other Party, or failure of either Party to take any action on account of a Default or Potential Default by the other Party, or to enforce its rights under this Lease, other than the acceptance of full payment of a cure of the Default or Potential Default, shall not be deemed a waiver of any Default or Potential Default.

21.                               Encumbrances & Public Notice.

(a)                                 Subordination & Attornment. This Lease is made and shall be subject and subordinate to any existing or future encumbrance created by Landlord and covering all or any portion of the Project; provided, however, that such subordination shall only be effective as to any encumbrance if the holder of the encumbrance agrees that this Lease shall survive the termination of the encumbrance by lapse of time, foreclosure or otherwise and that all holders of the encumbrance will be bound by this Lease and by all of Tenant’s rights under the Lease and Tenant agrees to and shall attorn to the holders of such encumbrance(s). Provided the conditions of the preceding sentence are satisfied, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, within fifteen (15) Business Days after written request by Landlord and in a form reasonably requested by Landlord and consistent with this Section 21, any additional commercially reasonable documents evidencing the subordination of this Lease, the nondisturbance agreement of all holders of encumbrances and Tenant’s agreement to attorn. If the interest of Landlord in the Project is transferred pursuant to, or in lieu of proceedings for enforcement of any encumbrance and provided that the new owner of the Project complies with the requirements of this Section 21, Tenant shall immediately and automatically following notice of such transfer attorn to the new owner, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the transferee and Tenant on the terms, and subject to the conditions, otherwise set forth in this Lease. Within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to receive from Landlord’s current lender, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, reasonably acceptable to Tenant, that provides (among other things) that this Lease shall survive the termination of the encumbrance by lapse of time, foreclosure or otherwise and that all holders of the encumbrance will be bound by this Lease and by all of Tenant’s rights under the Lease and Tenant agrees to attorn to the holders of such encumbrance.

(b)                                 New Financing. If any future mortgagee requires, as a good faith condition of any financing, that modifications to this Lease be obtained, and provided that such modifications (i) are reasonable, (ii) do not adversely affect Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises and the Common Areas or change the character of the Building from a Class A low-rise office building, (iii) do not materially alter the Approved Plan for the Premises, and (iv) do not increase the Rent and other sums required to be paid by Tenant, then Landlord may submit to Tenant a written amendment to this Lease incorporating mortgagee’s required modifications, and, if Tenant does not execute and return to Landlord such written amendment within ten (10) Business Days after the same has been submitted to Tenant, then Landlord shall thereafter have

27

the right, at its sole option, to cancel this Lease. Such option shall be exercisable by Landlord giving Tenant written notice of cancellation, immediately whereupon this Lease shall be cancelled and terminate, and any money held by Landlord on Tenant’s behalf shall be returned to Tenant, and both Landlord and Tenant shall thereupon be relieved from any and all further liability or obligation under this Lease.

22.                               Estoppel Certificates.  Tenant agrees, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written estoppel certificate (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, stating the nature of same), (ii) stating the Commencement Date of the Lease Term, (iii) stating the amounts of Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent and the dates to which the Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent have been paid by Tenant, (iv) stating the amount of any Security Deposit, if any, (v) stating whether or not to the actual knowledge of Tenant, Landlord is in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such default of which Tenant may have knowledge, (vi) stating that Tenant has no right to setoff and no defense against payment of the Annual Base Rent or Additional Rent, (vii) stating the address to which notices to Tenant should be sent, and (viii) certifying such other matters as may be reasonably requested by Landlord that cannot be determined from a reading of the Lease. Any such certificate delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by an owner of the Building, any prospective purchaser of the Building, any mortgagee or prospective mortgagee of the Building or of Landlord’s interest therein, or any prospective assignee of any such mortgage. Failure to deliver the aforesaid certificate within the ten (10) days shall be conclusive upon Tenant for the benefit of Landlord and any successor to Landlord that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as may be represented by the party requesting the certificate.

23.                               Surrender & Inspection.  Upon the Expiration Date or other termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord broom clean and in as good order and condition as when received, ordinary and reasonable wear and tear and casualty damage excepted; provided, however, casualty damage shall only be excepted if this Lease is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 18(c), above. Tenant shall remove all of its property from the Premises by the Expiration Date or the effective date of any other termination of this Lease. Tenant’s obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease. If Tenant does not remove Tenant’s furniture, equipment, machinery, trade fixtures, floor coverings and all other items of personal property from the Premises prior to the Expiration Date, then Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have conveyed the same to Landlord without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant, and Landlord may dispose of such personal property at Tenant’s cost.

24.                               Tenant Holdover.  If Tenant continues to remain in the Premises after the expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall become a tenant of sufferance only, at a base monthly rent which is one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the last month’s rent for the first three (3) months; then one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Monthly Rent thereafter applicable to the last month of the Term, and otherwise subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified. Tenant expressly agrees to hold Landlord harmless from all loss and damages, direct and consequential, which Landlord may suffer in defense of claims by other parties against

28

Landlord arising out of the holding over by Tenant, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees which may be incurred by Landlord in defense of such claims. Acceptance of rent by Landlord subsequent to the expiration of the Term shall not constitute consent to any holding over.

25.                               Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant shall observe and perform all the covenants and agreements binding on Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall at all times during the Term, peacefully and quietly have and enjoy possession of the Premises and nonexclusive use of the Common Areas without any encumbrance or hindrance by, from or through Landlord, except as provided for elsewhere under this Lease.

26.                               Limitation of Landlord’s Liability. It is understood and agreed that the liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited solely to Landlord’s assets and its interest in the Building of which the Premises form a part and the Common Areas; and that neither Landlord’s members nor its officers, employees and agents, shall be personally liable for any obligations of Landlord arising out of or related to this Lease.

27.                               Time of the Essence. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that time is of the essence in the performance of any and all obligations, terms, and provisions of this Lease.

28.                               Waiver of Trial by Jury. Landlord and Tenant waive their right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other (except for personal injury or property damage) on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use of or occupancy of the Premises, and any emergency statutory or any other statutory remedy.

29.                               Notices. All notices required or desired to be given by either Party to the other shall be given in person, or sent by Federal Express or by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as specified in the Basic Lease Information. Either Party may, by like written notice, designate a new address to which such notices shall be directed. Notice shall be deemed to be effective when delivered in person or by Federal Express, or three (3) days after mailing.

30.                               Brokers. Except as separately agreed, in writing, by Landlord to CB ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ & Associates, Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that it has not employed any broker in connection with this Lease transaction. ▇▇▇ & Associates (▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) is representing Landlord in this transaction. CB ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (Chick ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇) is representing the Tenant in this transaction. Landlord and Tenant each shall indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any claims for brokerage or other commission arising by reason of a breach by the indemnifying Party of the aforesaid representation and warranty.

31.                               Force Majeure. Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, including Landlord’s obligations to deliver the Premises, shall be subject to force majeure delays (“Force Majeure Delays”). For the purpose of this Lease, the term Force Majeure Delays shall include delays caused by strikes, fire, unusually severe and adverse weather conditions, acts or delays of public agencies or governmental bodies, any moratorium on the issuance of governmental approvals or

29

utility service connections or other similar government actions, freight embargoes, unanticipated shortages of necessary labor or materials or for other reasons beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. If the Commencement Date is postponed as a result of a Force Majeure Delay, the Expiration Date shall also be postponed for the same period of time.

(k)                                 Authority.

If Tenant signs as a corporation, each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant does hereby covenant and warrant that Tenant is a duly authorized and existing corporation, qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Premises is located, that the corporation has full right and authority to enter into this Lease, and that each and both of the persons signing on behalf of the corporation were authorized to do so. If Tenant signs as a partnership, each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant does hereby covenant and warrant that Tenant is a duly formed and validly existing partnership, that the partnership has full right and authority to enter into this Lease, and that each of the persons signing on behalf of the partnership were authorized to do so.

(l)                                     Examination of Lease. Submission of this Lease for examination or signature by Tenant shall not constitute an offer to lease or a reservation of or option for Lease, and the same shall not be effective as a Lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant.

(m)                             Attorney’s Fees. If there is any dispute between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the interpretation or enforcement of any terms or provisions of this Lease, the prevailing party, as determined by the court, will be entitled to recover from the other party, in addition to any other award, all costs, legal fees, consultant fees, expert witness fees, investigation costs, and similar expenses (through trial and appeal) including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees incurred by the successful party.

31

33.                               Right of First Offer. If during the term of this Lease, any bona fide third party requests a written proposal from Landlord to lease space located in the Building, that is then available for lease and under the control of Landlord (“ROFO Space”), then, subject to any currently existing tenant’s rights, provided: (i) this Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) Tenant has not delivered a Termination Notice; and (iii) Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, Landlord shall first offer to lease such ROFO Space to Tenant. Tenant shall have the right to lease the ROFO Space upon the same terms, covenants and conditions as would be offered to a third party, including a pro-rated tenant improvement allowance and pro-rated rent abatement based upon the remaining term; provided, however, the term of Tenant’s lease of the ROFO Space shall be coterminous with its lease of the Premises. The basic terms of the lease of the ROFO Space shall be provided by Landlord to Tenant in writing (“ROFO Offer”). Tenant shall have ten (10) days after receipt of the ROFO Offer within which to either accept or reject, in writing, the ROFO Offer. If Tenant accepts the ROFO Offer, the parties shall execute an amendment to this Lease documenting the same (“ROFO Space Amendment”). The ROFO Space Amendment shall be submitted to Tenant for review, negotiation and execution and Tenant shall have ten (10) days after receipt of the same in which to execute the ROFO Space Amendment and deliver one (1) fully executed copy to Landlord. If Tenant shall not have elected to exercise its right of first offer with respect to the ROFO Space, Landlord shall no longer be obligated to provide Tenant a right of first offer on such ROFO Space. However, if Landlord revises the proposal to lease the ROFO Space by terms which are more monetarily advantageous, by at least five percent (5%) from the ROFO Offer (“Revised ROFO Offer”), then Landlord shall first resubmit the Revised ROFO Offer to Tenant and Tenant shall have five (5) days from receipt of the Revised ROFO Offer to either accept or reject, in writing.

34.                               Moving Allowance. Provided no Default exists, Landlord shall pay Tenant an amount equal to $2.00 per square foot of Rentable Area (“Moving Allowance”) as an accommodation to Tenant and in addition to the Tenancy Allowance (defined below). Landlord shall pay the Moving Allowance directly to Tenant within ten (10) Business Days of the Commencement Date. Failure to make such Moving Allowance payment shall constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease. If Landlord fails to pay the Moving Allowance within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of default from Tenant, then Tenant may ▇▇▇▇▇ Rent until such Rent abatement equals the Moving Allowance; provided, however, Tenant shall not be permitted to ▇▇▇▇▇ more than fifty percent (50%) of any installment of Rent.

35.                               Tenancy Allowance. Provided no Default exists, Landlord shall pay Tenant an amount equal to $30.00 per square foot of Rentable Area (“Tenancy Allowance”) in consideration of Tenant’s agreement to enter into this Lease, occupy the Premises, comply with the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease and pay Rent during the Term. The Tenancy Allowance may be used by Tenant, in Tenant’s sole discretion. Landlord shall pay the Tenancy Allowance directly to Tenant within ten (10) Business Days following the Commencement Date. If Landlord fails to pay the Tenancy Allowance within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice of default from Tenant (“Abatement Event”), then Tenant may ▇▇▇▇▇ Monthly Base Rent payments as provided in the following sentence. Following an Abatement Event and continuing as long as any portion(s) of the Tenancy Allowance remain unpaid, Tenant shall be permitted to ▇▇▇▇▇: (i) up to one hundred percent (100%) of each installment of Monthly Base Rent for the period between Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises and November 20, 2012; and

32

(ii) up to fifty percent (50%) of each installment of Monthly Base Rent for periods after November 20, 2012. Landlord shall deliver third party documentation prior to lease execution in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant that demonstrates sufficient funds available to fund the Moving Allowance, Tenancy Allowance and Allowance.

36.                               Exclusivity. During the Base Term and any Renewal Term, and so long as Tenant is not in Default and occupies at least 75% of the Premises, Landlord will not, without Tenant’s prior written approval, lease any space in the Building, or provide Building signage rights, to any Competing Entity or any affiliate of a Competing Entity, provided the affiliate’s business is substantially related to the Competing Entity’s primary business (including, without limitation, single-family construction supervision services, single-family architectural and design services, and residential mortgage services). As used in this Lease, the term “Competing Entity” will have the following limited meaning: any entity whose primary business is the construction and sale of new single-family homes. The term “primary business” means a business activity that generates eighty percent (80%) or more of the entity’s gross annual revenue. Any Competing Entity approval shall be in Tenant’s reasonable discretion. The exclusivity provisions of this Section 36 will not prevent Landlord from locating a Toll Brothers’ design center in the Building (“Competing Entity Exception”) as long as: (i) no exterior signage is provided; and (ii) no business operations other than the operation of a design center and any related uses are conducted in the Building under the Competing Entity Exception.
