Section 1.2    General Conditions.

(a)    Unless this Lease provides for a contrary standard, whenever in this Lease the consent or approval of the Lessor or Lessee is required, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (except, however, with respect to any Lessor consent, for matters which could possibly have a material adverse effect on the Building's plumbing, heating, mechanical, life safety, ventilation, air conditioning or electrical systems, which could affect the structural integrity of the Building, or which could affect the exterior appearance of the Building, Lessor may withhold such consent or approval in its sole discretion but shall act in good faith); and

(b)    Unless a contrary standard or right is set forth in this Lease, whenever the Lessor or Lessee is granted a right to take action, exercise discretion, or make an allocation, judgment or other determination, Lessor or Lessee shall act reasonably and in good faith and take no action which might result in the frustration of the reasonable expectations of a sophisticated tenant and a sophisticated landlord concerning the benefits to be enjoyed under this Lease.

Section 1.3    Lease of Premises. Lessor leases to Lessee, and Lessee leases from Lessor, the Premises.

Section 2.1    Effective Date. This Lease shall become effective (the "Effective Date") upon the approval of the Lessor's lender on the Property and when signed by Lessor and Lessee (if lender's prior approval is required). All of the terms, conditions, covenants, rules and regulations of the Lease (other than the payment of Rent) shall apply as of the Effective Date.

Section 2.2    Commencement Date. The Term of this Lease and the Rent shall commence on April 1, 2017 (the "Commencement Date").

Section 2.3    Delay in Delivery of Premises. If Lessor is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee on or before the Commencement Date, Lessor shall not be subject to any liability for its failure to do so. This failure shall not affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Lessee under it, but the Lease Term shall commence on the date on which Lessor delivers possession of the Premises to Lessee. The Lease Expiration Date shall be extended for a like period plus any additional period required to make the Lease Expiration Date the last day of the calendar month. Lessor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights to possession of the Premises against any holdover tenant. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the Tenant Improvements are not Substantially Complete on or before the Commencement Date, Lessee shall be entitled to a rent abatement following the Commencement Date of $1,076.28 per day for every day beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the date the Tenant Improvements are Substantially Complete. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge and agree that: (i) the determination of Substantial Completion shall take into account the effect of Tenant Delays and the Commencement Date shall be postponed by the number of days the Completion Date is delayed due to events of Force Majeure. If Lessor is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee by the sixtieth (60th) day following the scheduled Commencement Date (the "Outside Date"), then either Party shall have the right to terminate this Lease by providing the other Party with written notice thereof within five (5) business days following said Outside Date.

Section 2.4    Notice of Commencement Date. If Lessor is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Lessee on the Commencement Date, then Lessor shall send Lessee notice of the occurrence of the Commencement Date in the form of the attached Exhibit "B," which notice Lessee shall acknowledge by executing a copy of the notice and returning it to Lessor. If Lessee fails to sign and return the notice to Lessor within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice from Lessor, the notice as sent by Lessor shall be deemed to have correctly set forth the Commencement Date, absent manifest error. Failure of Lessor to send such notice shall have no effect on the Commencement Date.

Section 3.1    Payment of Base Rental. Lessee shall pay the Base Rental, in advance, without prior notice, demand or billing statement, on or before the first day of each calendar month during the entire Term. Concurrently with Lessee's execution of this Lease and the submission thereof for Lessor's execution, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the Base Rental payable hereunder for one full calendar month of the Term as set forth in Section 1.1(k), which shall be applicable the first full month of Base Rental payments due under this Lease, and thereafter, until it has been fully applied. On the Commencement Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the prorated Base Rental attributable to the month in which the Commencement Date occurs on a date other than the first day of a calendar month.

Section 3.2    Governmental Assessments. In addition to the Base Rental, Lessee shall pay, prior to delinquency, (a) all personal property taxes, charges, rates, duties and license fees assessed against or levied upon Lessee's occupancy of the Premises, or upon any trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment or other personal property contained in the Premises (collectively, "Personal Property"), and (b) Lessee's Pro Rata Share (as defined in Section 4.1) of any governmental fees or charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen as well as foreseen, of any kind whatsoever imposed or charged to the Premises or the Building for the first time from and after the Commencement Date (other than Taxes, as defined in Section 4.4(m), which shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of Article 4) (collectively, "Assessments"). Lessee shall cause such Assessments upon Personal Property to be billed separately from the property of Lessor. Lessee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lessor harmless from and against the payment of all such Assessments imposed upon Lessee’s Personal Property.

Section 3.3    Special Charges for Special Services. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor, within ten (10) days following written demand, all charges, including labor costs, for any services, goods and/or materials, which shall include Lessor's 5% administrative cost surcharge thereon, furnished by Lessor at Lessee's request which are not otherwise required to be furnished by Lessor under this Lease without separate charge or reimbursement.

Section 3.4    Definition of Rent. Any and all payments of Base Rental (including any and all increases thereof) and any and all taxes, fees, charges, costs, expenses, insurance obligations, late charges, interest, and all other payments, disbursements or reimbursements which are attributable to, payable by or the responsibility of Lessee under this Lease (herein collectively referred to as the "Additional Rent"), constitute "rent" within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1951(a). Base Rental and Additional Rent are herein collectively referred to as "Rent." Any Rent payable to Lessor by Lessee for any fractional month shall be prorated based on a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year. All payments owed by Lessee under this Lease shall be paid to Lessor in lawful money of the United States of America at the Lessor's Address for Payment of Rent set forth in Section 34.1 or such other address as Lessor notifies Lessee in writing from time to time. All payments shall be paid without deduction, setoff or counterclaim.

Section 3.5    Late Charge. Lessee acknowledges that the late payment of Rent will cause Lessor to incur damages, including administrative costs, loss of use of the overdue funds and other costs, the exact amount of which would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain. Lessor and Lessee agree that if Lessor does not receive a payment of Rent within five (5) days after the date that such payment is due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late charge (“Late Charge”) equal to ten percent (10%) of the delinquent amount, or the sum of twenty-five dollars ($25.00), whichever is greater, as liquidated damages for the damages which Lessor is likely to incur for the thirty (30) day period following the due date of such payment. Further, all portions of Rent not paid within thirty (30) days following its due date and all Late Charges associated therewith shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (as defined below) beginning on the thirty-first (31st) day following the due date of such Rent and continuing until such Rent, Late Charges and interest are paid in full. Acceptance of the Late Charge, and/or interest by Lessor shall not cure or waive Lessee's default, nor prevent Lessor from exercising, before or after such acceptance, any and all of the rights and remedies for a default provided by this Lease or at law or in equity. Payment of the Late Charge and/or interest is not an alternative means of performance of Lessee's obligation to pay Rent at the times specified in this Lease. Lessee will be liable for the Late Charge regardless of whether Lessee's failure to pay the Rent when due constitutes a default under this Lease. Lessee shall pay Lessor a fee of $30.00 for each check that Lessor shall receive from Lessee that is not honored by the bank upon which it is drawn. Furthermore, if any check given to Lessor by Lessee shall not be honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its option, may require all payments made by Lessee to Lessor over the next twelve (12) months to be by certified check, cashier’s check, money order, or wire transfer. The term "Interest Rate" shall mean the lower of (a) the maximum interest rate permitted by law, or (b) ten percent (10%) per annum. Whenever interest is required to be paid under this Lease, the interest shall be calculated from the date the payment was due (unless a late charge is assessed by Lessor, in which case the interest shall be calculated from the thirty-first (31st) day following the date the payment was due) or should have been due if correctly assessed or estimated (or any overcharge paid), until the date payment is made or the refund is paid or is credited against Rent next due. However, there shall not be any credit against Rent unless expressly allowed by the terms of this Lease.

Section 3.6    Acceleration of Rent Payments. In the event a late charge becomes payable pursuant to Section 3.5 of this Lease for three (3) payments of any one or more elements of Rent within a twelve (12) month period, then all subsequent Rent payments shall immediately and automatically become payable by Lessee quarterly, in advance, by cashier’s check, instead of monthly.

Section 3.7    Disputes as to Payments of Rent. Lessee agrees to pay the Rent required under this Lease within the time limits set forth in this Lease. If Lessee receives from Lessor an invoice or statement, which invoice or statement is sent by Lessor in good faith, and Lessee in good faith disputes whether all or any part of such Rent is due and owing, Lessee shall nevertheless pay to Lessor the amount of the Rent indicated on the invoice or statement, which in the case of Base Rental or operating expenses is in compliance with terms of this Lease, until Lessee receives a final judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction (or when arbitration is permitted or required, receives a final award from an arbitrator) relieving or mitigating Lessee's obligation to pay such Rent. In such instance where Lessee disputes its obligations to pay all or part of the Rent indicated on such invoice or statement, Lessee shall, concurrently with the payment of such Rent, provide Lessor with a letter or notice entitled "Payment Under Protest," specifying in detail why Lessee is not required to pay all or part of such Rent. Lessee will be deemed to have waived its right to contest any past payment of Rent unless it has filed a lawsuit against Lessor (or when arbitration is permitted or required, filed for arbitration and has served Lessor with notice of such filing), and has served a summons on Lessor, within one (1) year of such payment. Until an Event of Default by Lessee occurs beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Lessor shall continue to provide the services and utilities required by this Lease.

Section 4.1    Operating Expense Adjustments. Operating Expense Adjustment. Lessor and Lessee agree that in lieu of calculating the adjustments to Building operating expenses (which are passed through to lessees as additional Rent each year) for each year of the Term, Lessee shall pay to Lessor as additional Rent the sum of five cents ($0.05) per Rentable Square Foot of Premises per month beginning on the first (1^st) day of the thirteenth (13^th) full calendar month following the Commencement Date and increasing by five cents ($0.05) per Rentable Square Foot of Premises per month annually thereafter throughout the Term of the Lease. Such amount shall be added to the amount of Base Rental payable hereunder. Lessee's annual operating expense adjustments due hereunder are predetermined and not subject to adjustment; except, however, that in the event a Law should be enacted, by legislation or otherwise, that amends Proposition 13 for commercial properties, and as a result thereof Lessor’s property taxes shall be increased, then the Parties agree that Lessor shall be permitted to increase Lessee’s operating expenses, as of the effective date of the tax increase, to reimburse Lessor for said increased taxes, prorated amongst all tenants in the Building according to Lessee’s pro-rata square footage of Premises within the Building (“Pro Rata Share”).

Section 5.1    Security Deposit. Concurrently with Lessee's execution of this Lease and submission thereof for Lessor's execution, Lessee shall pay the security deposit (the “Deposit”) to Lessor indicated in Section 1.1(l), which Deposit shall be held by Lessor as security for the full and faithful performance of Lessee's covenants and obligations under the Lease. The Deposit is not an advance Base Rental deposit, an advance payment of any other kind, or a measure of Lessor's damages in case of Lessee's default. If Lessee fails to comply with the full and timely performance of any or all of Lessee's covenants and obligations set forth in this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, the removal of property and the repair of resultant damage, after any applicable notice and cure period, then Lessor may, from time to time, upon notice to Lessee and without waiving any other remedy available to Lessor, use the Deposit, or any portion of it, to the extent necessary to cure or remedy such failure or to compensate Lessor for any or all out-of-pocket damages sustained by Lessor to the extent caused by Lessee's failure to comply fully and timely with its obligations pursuant to this Lease. Lessee shall immediately pay to Lessor within three (3) business days of demand, the amount so applied in order to restore the Deposit to its original amount, and Lessee's failure to immediately do so shall constitute a default under this Lease. If Lessee is in compliance with the covenants and obligations set forth in this Lease at the time which is sixty (60) days following the time of both the expiration (or earlier termination) of this Lease and Lessee's vacating of the Premises, Lessor shall return the Deposit to Lessee promptly thereafter. Lessor shall not be required to maintain the Deposit separate and apart from Lessor's general or other funds, and Lessor may commingle the Deposit with any of Lessor's general or other funds. Lessee shall not at any time be entitled to interest on the Deposit. Lessee hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and all other provisions of the law, now or hereafter in effect, which (i) establish the time frame by which a landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, and/or (ii) provide that a landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by a tenant or to clean the premises, it being agreed that Lessor may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Article 5 above and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Lessor for any loss or damage caused by Lessee’s default of this Lease, including, but not limited to, all damages or rent due upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.

Section 6.1    Restriction on Use. Lessee shall not do or permit to be done in or about the Property, nor bring, keep or permit to be brought or kept therein, anything which is prohibited by the attached Exhibits "E" and "F" or by any standard form fire insurance policy or which will in any way increase the existing rate of, or affect, any fire or other insurance upon the Building or its contents. Lessee shall place no equipment in the Premises, nor construct any improvements to the Premises, that shall exceed or otherwise impact the Building’s total live load capacity. Lessee shall obtain Lessor’s prior written approval before placing any equipment in the Premises, or constructing any improvements to the Premises, that may exceed the Building’s total live load capacity (which approval may be conditioned upon Lessee’s satisfaction of all reasonable conditions imposed by Lessor, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, to maintain the structural integrity of the Building, including, but not limited to, securing and submitting for Lessor’s review and approval all appropriate and necessary plans, specifications and engineering analysis of the proposed equipment and/or improvements).

Lessee, at Lessee's sole cost, shall comply with all Laws (as defined in Section 21.2) applicable to Lessee’s use or occupancy of the Premises, and with the requirements of any Board of Fire Underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter instituted, and shall also comply with any order, directive or certificate of occupancy issued pursuant to any Laws, applicable to Lessee’s use or occupancy of the Premises, including, but not limited to, any requirements of structural changes related to or affected by Lessee's acts, occupancy or use of the Premises. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Lessor shall be responsible for correcting any violations of Laws (including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act) with respect to the Premises, the Building or the Property that arise out of the Tenant Improvements performed by Lessor and/or the condition of the Premises at the execution of this Lease. The final judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Lessee in any action against Lessee, whether or not Lessor is a party to such action, shall be conclusive as between Lessor and Lessee in establishing such violation. Lessee shall not conduct retail operations from the Premises or use the Premises for medical or dental offices or for any other office purpose which is different from the office operations permitted by Lessor of its other tenants in the Building. Nothing herein shall require Lessee to perform any Alterations to comply with any Laws which require any capital improvements to the Building or the Property, unless such compliance is caused by Lessee Alterations, or other work by or on behalf of Lessee in the Premises (other than Tenant Improvements) or the acts or omissions of the Lessee.

Section 6.2    Compliance by Other Lessees. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for the failure of any other occupant or tenant to conduct itself in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6, and Lessee shall not be released or excused from the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease in the event of any such failure; provided, however, that Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts (but not including the institution of legal proceedings) to cause such other tenants and occupants of the Property to comply with the provisions of this Article 6, to the extent such non-compliance materially and adversely interferes with Lessee's access to the Premises or use of the Premises for the purposes permitted under this Lease.

Section 7.1    Lessee's Rights To Make Alterations. Following the date on which Lessee first occupies the Premises, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right upon receipt of Lessor's consent, to make alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises (“Alterations”) if such Alterations are made in accordance with this Article 7, are normal for general office use, do not adversely affect the utility or value of the Premises or the Building for future tenants, do not alter the exterior appearance of the Building, are not of a structural nature, do not require excessive removal expenses and are not otherwise prohibited under this Lease. All such Alterations shall be made in conformity with the requirements of Section 7.2 below and at the option of Lessor with Lessor's contractors. Once the Alterations have been completed, such Alterations shall thereafter be included within the designation of Lessee Improvements and shall be treated as Lessee Improvements.

Section 7.2    Installation of Alterations. Provided the Lessor shall have previously given Lessee written approval and consent to Alterations, any Alterations installed by Lessee during the Term shall be done in strict compliance with all of the following:

(a)    No such work shall proceed without Lessor's prior approval of (i) Lessee's contractor(s); (ii) certificates of insurance from a company or companies approved by Lessor, furnished to Lessor by Lessee's Contractor(s), for combined single limit bodily injury and property damage insurance covering comprehensive general liability and automobile liability, in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per person and per occurrence and endorsed to show Lessor as an additional insured, and for workers' compensation as required by law, endorsed to show a waiver of subrogation by the insurer to any claims Lessee's contractor may have against Lessor, Lessor's agents, employees, contractors and other tenants of the Building (provided, however, nothing in this Section 7.2(a) shall release Lessee of its other insurance obligations hereunder); and (iii) detailed plans and specifications for such work;

(b)    All such work shall be done in a first-class workmanlike manner and in conformity with a valid building permit and all other permits and licenses when and where required, copies of which shall be furnished to Lessor before the work is commenced, and any work not acceptable to any governmental authority or agency having or exercising jurisdiction over such work, or not reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, shall be promptly replaced and corrected at Lessee's expense. Lessor's approval or consent to any such work shall not impose any liability upon Lessor. No work shall proceed until and unless Lessor has received at least ten (10) days’ notice that such work is to commence;

(c)    Lessee shall immediately reimburse Lessor for any reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by Lessor in reviewing and approving the plans and specifications for such work or by reason of any faulty work done by Lessee or Lessee's contractors, or by reason of delays caused by such work, or by reason of inadequate cleanup;

(d)    Lessee or its contractors will in no event be allowed to make plumbing, mechanical or electrical improvements to the Premises, or any structural modification to the Building without first obtaining Lessor's written consent, which Lessor can withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Lessee may not make changes to, or install, acoustical or integrated ceilings, or partitions over 5'10" in height without first obtaining Lessor's written consent;

(e)    All work by Lessee shall be scheduled through Lessor and shall be diligently and continuously pursued from the date of its commencement through its completion;

(f)    Lessee shall obtain any bonds required by Lessor pursuant to Article 9 of this Lease; and

(g)     Lessee shall have the right, at Lessee’s cost, and upon at least ten (10) business days’ notice to Lessor, to make non-structural Alterations to the interior of the Premises which: (a) are not visible from the exterior of the Building, (b) do not affect or otherwise require modification of the Building’s electrical, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC or other systems, (c) cost in the aggregate less than $20,000.00 in any 12 month period, (d) do not require a permit, (e) do not require excessive removal expenses, and (f) do not adversely affect the Common Areas, and provided Lessee delivers to Lessor written notice together with a copy of any final plans, specifications and working drawings for any such Alterations at least ten (10) days prior to commencement of the work thereof, and the other conditions of this Article 7 are satisfied, other than the requirement of Lessor’s prior consent. In addition, all Alterations shall be performed by duly licensed contractors or subcontractors reasonably acceptable to Lessor. Proof of insurance reasonably required of Lessor shall be submitted to Lessor and Lessor reserves the right to impose reasonable rules and regulations for contractors and subcontractors.

Section 7.3    Alterations and Improvements - Treatment at End of Lease. All Alterations and Lessee Improvements made by or for Lessee, whether temporary or permanent in character, made either by Lessor or Lessee, including, but not limited to, all air-conditioning or heating systems, paneling, lighting fixtures, cabling, partitions and railings (except movable furniture and equipment belonging to Lessee) shall become the property of the Lessor and shall remain upon, and be surrendered with, the Premises as a part thereof at the termination of this Lease, without compensation to Lessee; provided, however, that at the election of Lessor, exercisable by notice to Lessee, Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense, prior to the expiration of the Term (or within ten (10) days following the earlier termination of this Lease), remove from the Premises the Alterations (or that portion of the Alterations) required by Lessor to be removed, and repair all damage to the Premises caused by such removal. Lessor shall have the right, upon reasonable notice to Lessee, to enter and fully inspect the entire Premises just prior to the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease to determine the condition of the Premises, and to ascertain what removals, if any, Lessor shall require of Lessee pursuant to the terms hereof.

All of Lessee's Personal Property, including, but not limited to, moveable furniture, trade fixtures and equipment, not attached to the Building or the Premises, shall be completely removed by Lessee prior to the expiration of the Term (or within ten (10) days following the earlier termination of this Lease), provided, however, that Lessee shall repair all damage caused by such removal prior to the expiration of the Term (or within ten (10) days following the earlier termination of this Lease), and provided further, that any of Lessee's Personal Property not so removed shall, at the option of Lessor, be deemed abandoned by Lessee and shall automatically become the property of Lessor (whereupon Lessor shall then be permitted to retain and/or dispose the same, or any part thereof, in any manner whatsoever, without liability to Lessee). Lessee expressly, knowingly and intentionally waives and relinquishes any and all rights Lessee has under Sections 1993 through 1993.09 of the California Civil Code, and all other similar provisions of the law, now or hereafter in effect, which establish procedures commercial real property landlords must follow to dispose of property that remains on the Premises after a tenancy has terminated (collectively “Property Disposition Laws”) and further knowingly and intentionally releases Lessor from any duties and obligations Lessor may have under said Property Disposition Laws.

Section 8.1    Lessee's Repairs and Cleaning Obligations. Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, keep the non-structural, interior portions of the Premises in good, clean and sanitary condition and repair at all times during the Term, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Lessee's promise to keep the non-structural, interior portions of the Premises in good, clean and sanitary condition and repair shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for sixty (60) days. All damage or breakage to any part or portion within the Premises, and all damage or breakage to any portion of the Property caused by the willful or grossly negligent act or omission of Lessee or Lessee's authorized agents, employees, contractors, licensees, directors, officers, partners, or trustees, (collectively, "Lessee's Employees"), shall be promptly repaired or replaced by Lessee, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, to the reasonable satisfaction of Lessor. Lessor may make any repairs or replacements which are not made by Lessee within a reasonable amount of time (except in the case of emergency when such repairs or replacements can be made immediately), and charge Lessee for the cost of such repairs and replacements. Lessee shall be solely responsible for the design and function of all specialized furniture, fixtures, lighting and equipment, whether or not installed by Lessor at Lessee's request. Lessee waives all rights to make repairs or replacements to the Premises or to the Property at the expense of Lessor, or to deduct the cost of such repairs or replacements from any payment owed to Lessor under this Lease. If upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease Lessee shall have failed to leave the Premises in good, clean and sanitary condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, then Lessor may use any portion of the Deposit necessary to reimburse Lessor for costs, charges and expenses incurred by Lessor for Lessee's failure to comply with its obligations stated herein. Should Lessee occupy the Premises for less than twelve (12) months, then to reimburse Lessor for the costs and expenses that Lessor will reasonably incur to steam-clean/shampoo or repair the carpet and touch-up paint the walls (as needed) in the Premises, to enable Lessor to re-let the Premises to a replacement tenant due to Lessee's premature vacancy, then Lessee shall pay Lessor all costs and expenses related thereto, and Lessor shall be permitted to use, but shall not be required to use, any portion or all of the Deposit for the same.

Section 9.1    No Liens by Lessee. Lessee shall at all times keep the Premises, the Building and the Property free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Lessee. At any time Lessee either desires or is required to make any Alterations, Lessor may, in addition to the provisions of Article 7, require Lessee, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, to obtain and provide to Lessor performance and payment bonds in a form and by a surety acceptable to Lessor and in an amount not less than one and one-half (1-1/2) times the estimated cost of such Alterations to insure Lessor against liability from mechanics' and materialman’s liens and to insure completion of the work and may also require such additional items or assurances as Lessor may deem reasonable or desirable. Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend, protect, and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all claims for mechanics', materialman’s or other liens in connection with any Alterations, repairs, or any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Lessee, which are not performed by the Lessor. Lessor reserves the right to enter the Premises for the purpose of posting such notices of non-responsibility as may be permitted by law, or desired by Lessor.

Section 10.1    Scope of Lessor's Repairs. Lessor shall maintain in good repair: (a) the structural elements and the public and common areas of the Building as the same may exist from time to time, (b) the HVAC, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire life safety systems serving the Building, (c) the roof of the Building, (d) the exterior, including the windows of the Building, and (e) the elevators of the Building, except for wear and tear which is caused by the grossly negligent or willful act or omission of Lessee or Lessee's Employees. Lessor shall have no obligation to make repairs under this Article 10 until a reasonable time after receipt of written notice of the need for such repairs. In no event shall any payments owed by Lessee under this Lease be abated on account of Lessor's failure to make repairs under this Article 10.

Section 11.1    Standard Building Services. As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor shall furnish the Premises with the standard building services and utilities as set forth in the attached Exhibit "D."

Section 11.2    Additional Services. Lessee agrees to pay immediately on demand all reasonable charges imposed by the Lessor after notice to and consultation with Lessee, from time to time for all building services and utilities supplied to or used by Lessee in excess of or in addition to those standard building services and utilities which Lessor agrees to provide to Lessee in accordance with Exhibit "D" (said excess and additional building services and utilities are referred to as "Additional Services"). If Lessee is a habitual user of such Additional Services, Lessor may at any time cause a switch and/or metering system to be installed at Lessee's expense (which expense Lessee shall pay within ten (10) business days of receipt of an invoice from Lessor covering the cost of such switch or metering system and the installation thereof) to measure the amount of building services, utilities and/or Additional Services consumed by Lessee or used in the Premises. Lessee agrees to pay Lessor, within five (5) business days, for all such Additional Services consumed as shown by said meters, at the rates charged for such services by the local public or private utility furnishing the same, if applicable, plus any additional expense incurred by Lessor in keeping records or accounts of the Additional Services so consumed.

Section 11.3    Lessor's Right to Cease Providing Services. Lessor reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to item (a) below, and in its reasonable discretion with respect to item (b) below, to reduce, interrupt or cease service of the heating, air conditioning, ventilation, elevator, plumbing, electrical systems, telephone systems and/or utilities services of the Premises, the Building or the Property, for any or all of the following reasons or causes:

(a)    any accident, emergency, governmental regulation, or Act of God, including, but not limited to, any cause set forth in Article 29; or

(b)    the making of any repairs, replacements, additions, alterations or improvements to the Premises or the Property until said repairs, additions, alterations or improvements shall have been completed.

No such interruption, reduction or cessation of any such building services or utilities shall constitute an eviction or disturbance of Lessee's use or possession of the Premises or Property, or an ejection or eviction of Lessee from the Premises, or a breach by Lessor of any of its obligations, or entitle Lessee to be relieved from any of its obligations under this Lease, or result in any abatement of Rent, unless such condition continues for more than ten (10) consecutive days, in which event, Rent shall be abated until the condition no longer exists. In the event of any such interruption, reduction, or cessation, Lessor shall use reasonable and continuous diligence to restore such service where it is within Lessor's reasonable control to do so.

Section 12.1    Right to Assign and Sublease. Lessor and Lessee recognize and specifically agree that this Article 12 is an economic provision, like Rent, and that the Lessor's right to recapture, and to share in profits, is granted by Lessee to Lessor in consideration of certain other economic concessions granted by Lessor to Lessee. Lessee may voluntarily assign its interest in this Lease or in the Premises, or sublease all or any part of the Premises, or allow any other person or entity to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises, upon first obtaining Lessor's prior written consent, but only if (i) Lessee is not then in default of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, (ii) such assignment or sublease does not conflict with or result in a breach of the permitted Use of the Premises, and (iii) such proposed assignee or sublessee of Lessee's proposed assignment or sublease is not:

(a)    a governmental entity or an educational institution;

(b)    a person with whom Lessor has negotiated for space in the Building or in Lessor's other buildings in Continental Park during the twelve (12) month period ending with the date Lessor receives notice of such assignment, encumbrance or subletting;

(c)    a present tenant, or subtenant or assignee of tenant, in the Building or other space or building in Continental Park;

(d)    a person whose tenancy in the Building or other space or building in Continental Park would violate any exclusivity arrangement which Lessor has with any other space or building in Continental Park;

(e)    a person whose tenancy results in more people working at, or visiting, the Premises, than the number of people who worked at, or visited, the Premises at the time when Lessee was the sole occupant of the Premises; or

(f)    a person who is not comparable in quality, financial standing and business reputation to Lessee or whose business operations are not comparable to the business operations of the then tenants in the Building leasing space similar to the Premises.

Any assignment, encumbrance or sublease without Lessor's prior written consent shall be voidable, at Lessor's election, and shall constitute a default by Lessee. No consent to an assignment, encumbrance or sublease shall constitute a further waiver of the provisions of this Article 12.

Section 12.2    Procedure for Assignment and Sublease/Lessor's Recapture Rights. Lessee shall advise Lessor by notice of (a) Lessee's intent to assign, encumber or sublease this Lease, (b) the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee, and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that such proposed assignee or sublessee is comparable in quality, financial standing and business reputation to Lessee, and (c) the terms of the proposed assignment or subletting. Lessor shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, and any additional information requested by Lessor concerning the proposed assignee's or sublessee's financial responsibility, elect one of the following:

(i)    Consent to such proposed assignment, encumbrance or sublease;

(ii)    Refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds; or

(iii)    Elect to terminate this Lease in the event of an assignment, or in the case of a sublease, terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet for the proposed term of the sublease. In the event that Lessor elects, pursuant to this subsection (iii), to terminate this Lease with respect to all or any portion of the Premises, Lessee shall have the right, during the ten (10) day period following Lessor's election, to rescind its notice of intent to assign or sublease, in which case termination of this Lease as a result thereof shall be of no effect. If Lessee does not rescind its notice, and Lessor enters into a lease with the proposed assignee within one hundred twenty days (120) days thereafter, Lessor shall pay Lessee fifty percent (50%) of the base rental received from such assignee in excess of the Base Rental under this Lease.

Section 12.3    Conditions Regarding Consent to Sublease and Assignment. As a condition for obtaining Lessor's consent to any assignment, encumbrance or sublease, Lessee must require that the rent payable by such assignee or sublessee is at least at the then current rental rates for the Premises or comparable premises in the Building, and, if Lessor so requests, shall require that the assignee or sublessee remit directly to Lessor on a monthly basis, all rent due to Lessee by said assignee or sublessee (and should Lessor not request that the assignee or sublessee remit directly to Lessor the rent due to Lessee, then the assignee or sublessee shall not make any payment to Lessor on behalf of Lessee). Lessee shall pay upon demand Lessor's reasonable out-of-pocket processing costs and attorneys' fees incurred in determining whether to give such consent. Notwithstanding any permitted assignment or subletting, Lessee shall at all times remain directly, primarily and fully responsible and liable for all payments owed by Lessee under this Lease and for compliance with all obligations under the terms, provisions and covenants of this Lease. If for any proposed assignment or sublease, Lessee receives rent or other consideration (including, but not limited to, sums paid for the sale or rental of Lessee's personal property or sums paid in connection with the supply of electricity or HVAC), either initially or over the term of the assignment or sublease, in excess of the Base Rental required by this Lease, or, in the case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of such rent fairly allocable to such portion, after adjustments for payments to brokers and all other related costs for the sublease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor as additional rent fifty percent (50%) of the excess of each such payment of rent or other consideration received by Lessee within five (5) days of its receipt. Furthermore, for any proposed sublease, the sublease agreement (a) shall require Lessee and Sublessee to send Lessor copies of any and all notices concerning the Premises that either Party shall send to one another, and (b) shall require Sublessee to obtain a waiver of subrogation against Lessor from Sublessee's insurers. Lessor's consent, if granted, to any assignment or sublease shall be deemed limited solely to said original assignment or sublease, and Lessor reserves the right to consent or to withhold consent with respect to any further or additional assignments, sublets or other transfers of the Lease.

Section 12.4    Termination of Sublease upon Lease Termination. If at any time prior to the expiration or termination of an approved Sublease the Lease shall expire or terminate for any reason whatsoever (or Lessee's right to possession shall terminate without termination of the Lease), then the Sublease shall simultaneously expire and terminate. However, Sublessee agrees, at the election and upon the written demand of Lessor, and not otherwise, to attorn to Lessor for the remainder of the term of the Sublease, such attornment to be upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, with such reasonable modifications as Lessor may require (and if the Base Rental set forth in the Sublease is greater than the Base Rental set forth in the Lease then Sublessee agrees that the Base Rental set forth in the Sublease shall be substituted as the Base Rental to be paid to Lessor). The foregoing provisions of this Section 12.4 shall apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, the Sublease may otherwise terminate upon the termination of the Lease, and shall be self-operative upon such written demand of the Lessor, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to said provisions; provided, however, Sublessee agrees to execute an attornment agreement, in the form and substance acceptable to Lessor, pursuant to which Sublessee confirms that the obligations owed to Lessee under the Sublease shall become obligations to Lessor for the balance of the term of the Sublease.

Section 12.5    Affiliated Companies/Restructuring of Business Organization. Occupancy of all or part of the Premises by a parent or wholly-owned subsidiary company of Lessee or by a wholly-owned subsidiary company of Lessee's parent company (collectively, "Affiliated Companies") shall not be deemed an assignment or subletting provided that any such Affiliated Companies were not formed as a subterfuge to avoid the obligations of this Article 12.

Section 14.1    Indemnification. Effective as of the Effective Date, Lessee shall, at its expense, protect, defend, indemnify and hold Lessor and Lessor's agents, contractors, licensees, employees, directors, officers, partners, trustees, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, assigns, heirs, shareholders and members (collectively, "Lessor's Employees") and any and all of Lessor's lessors and mortgagees (whose names shall have been furnished to Lessee) harmless from and against any and all claims, to the extent caused by Lessee's use of the Premises, the Building or the Property, the conduct of Lessee's business, any activity, work or things done, permitted or allowed by Lessee in or about the Premises or the Property, Lessee's violation of any Law, or any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee or Lessee's Employees. These indemnities shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for a period of one year.

Section 14.2    Insurance. Effective as of the Effective Date, Lessee shall have the following insurance obligations:

(a)Liability Insurance. Lessee shall obtain and keep in full force a policy of commercial general liability and property damage insurance (including automobile, personal injury, broad form contractual liability and broad form property damage) under which Lessee is named as the insured and Lessor, and all of Lessor's lessors and mortgagees (whose names from time to time shall have been furnished to Lessee) are named as additional insureds under which the insurer agrees to indemnify, protect, defend, and hold Lessor, its managing agent and all such lessors and mortgagees harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses and liabilities arising out of or based upon the indemnification obligations of this Lease. The minimum limits of liability shall be a combined single limit with respect to each occurrence of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00). The policy also shall be primary coverage for Lessee and Lessor for any liability arising out of Lessee's and Lessee's Employees' use, occupancy, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall provide that it is primary insurance and not "excess over" or contributory with any other valid, existing and applicable insurance in force for or on behalf of Lessor. Not more frequently than once each year, if, in the reasonable opinion of Lessor's lender, the amount of public liability and property damage insurance coverage at that time is not adequate, Lessee shall increase the insurance coverage as required by either Lessor's lender;

(b)    Lessee's Property Insurance. Lessee, at its cost, shall maintain on all of its Personal Property, Lessee Improvements and Alterations, in, on, or about the Premises, a policy of standard fire and extended coverage insurance, with theft, negligence, water damage, fire damage, vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements, to the extent of at least full replacement value or replacement cost without any deduction for depreciation. Such proceeds shall be used by Lessee for the repair, replacement and restoration of such Personal Property, Lessee Improvements and Alterations. The "full replacement value" of the improvements to be insured under this Article 14 shall be determined by the company issuing the insurance policy at the time the policy is initially obtained. Not less frequently than once every three (3) years, Lessor shall have the right to notify Lessee that it elects to have the replacement value redetermined by an insurance company or insurance consultant. The redetermination shall be made promptly and in accordance with the rules and practices of the Board of Fire Underwriters, or a like board recognized and generally accepted by the insurance company, and each Party shall be promptly notified of the results by the company. The insurance policy shall be adjusted according to the redetermination;

(c)    Worker's Compensation. Lessee shall maintain Worker's Compensation and Employer's Liability insurance as required by law with Employer's Liability limits as required by law;

(d)    Business Income. Lessee shall maintain loss of income and business interruption insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Lessee for direct or indirect loss of earnings, attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises or to the Building as a result of such perils, but in no event in an amount less than the Rent and all additional rent payable hereunder for twelve (12) months;

(e)    Left Intentionally Blank.

(f)    Insurance Criteria. All the insurance required under this Lease shall:

(i)    Be issued by insurance companies with a financial rating of at least an A:XIII status as rated in the most recent edition of Best's Insurance Reports;

(ii)    Be issued as a primary policy as respects any insurance maintained by the Lessor, and that any such insurance maintained by the Lessor is excess and noncontributory with this policy, provided the loss is caused by the negligence of the named insured;

(iii)    Contain an endorsement requiring thirty (30) days' written notice from the insurance company to both Parties and to Lessor's lender before cancellation or change in the coverage, scope, or amount of any policy; and

(iv)    With respect to property loss or damage by fire or other casualty, a waiver of subrogation must be obtained, as required by Section 14.4;

(g)    Evidence of Coverage. As evidence of the liability insurance coverage required herein, Lessee shall provide Lessor with endorsements from the insurer with respect to the insurance policies naming Lessor and its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees and lenders ("Lessor's Parties") as additional insured parties with respect to the coverage required. Said endorsements, together with evidence of payment of premiums, shall be deposited with Lessor at least ten (10) days prior to the date which Lessor estimates the Commencement Date will occur, and on renewal of the policy not less than thirty (30) days before expiration of the term of the policy. Lessor shall have the right to require Lessee to provide a certified copy of the actual insurance policy; and

(h)    No Limitation of Liability. The insurance obligations of Lessee hereunder, and/or the limits on such insurance as described herein shall in no event waive, release or discharge Lessee of any or all other obligations and liabilities of Lessee contained in this Lease or otherwise.

Section 14.3    Assumption of Risk. Lessee, as a material part of the consideration to Lessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to Lessee's Personal Property, Lessee Improvements and Alterations or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Premises and/or the Property from any cause (except for damage or injury caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor or Lessor’s Employees) and Lessee hereby waives all such claims against Lessor. Lessor and Lessor's Employees shall not be liable for any damage to any of Lessee's Personal Property entrusted to Lessor or Lessor's Employees, nor for loss or damage to any of Lessee's Personal Property by theft or otherwise. Lessee shall give prompt notice to Lessor in case of fire or accidents in the Premises or in the Building. Further, with the exception of Lessor's and Lessor’s Employees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lessor and Lessor's Employees shall have no liability to Lessee or any of Lessee's Employees for any damage, loss, cost or expense incurred or suffered by any of them (including, without limitation, damage to Lessee's business), and Lessee hereby waives any claim with respect to Lessor's and Lessor's Employees' acts or omissions hereunder, including, without limitation, any claims relating to the maintenance, repair, restoration and/or replacement of the Premises, or the Building, and the exercise of any other right which Lessor is authorized hereunder to do.

Section 14.4    Allocation of Insured Risks/Subrogation. Lessor and Lessee release each other from any claims and demands of whatever nature for damage, loss or injury to the Premises and/or the Building, or to the other's property in, on or about the Premises and the Building, that are caused by or result from risks or perils insured against under any insurance policies required by this Lease to be carried by Lessor and/or Lessee and in force at the time of any such damage, loss or injury. Lessor and Lessee shall cause each insurance policy obtained by them or either of them to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against either Lessor or Lessee in connection with any damage covered by any policy. Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall be liable to the other for any damage caused by fire or any of the risks insured against under any insurance policy required by this Lease. If an insurance policy cannot be obtained with a waiver of subrogation, or is obtainable only by the payment of an additional premium charge above that charged by insurance companies issuing policies without waiver of subrogation, the Party undertaking to obtain the insurance shall notify the other Party of this fact. The other Party shall have a period of ten (10) days after receiving the notice either to place the insurance with a company that is reasonably satisfactory to the other Party and that will carry the insurance with a waiver of subrogation, or to agree to pay the additional premium if such a policy is obtainable at additional cost. If the insurance cannot be obtained or the Party in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is desired refuses to pay the additional premium charged, the other Party is relieved of the obligation to obtain a waiver of subrogation with respect to the particular insurance involved.

Section 15.1    Loss Covered by Insurance. If, at any time prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease, the Premises or the Building or the Property is wholly or partially damaged or destroyed by a casualty, the loss to Lessor from which is fully covered (except for the normal deductible) by insurance maintained by Lessor or for Lessor's benefit, which casualty renders the Premises totally or partially inaccessible or unusable by Lessee in the ordinary conduct of Lessee's business, then (provided that Lessor shall not be required to use the proceeds of such insurance for the purposes described in subsections (a) and (b) below):

(a)    Repairs Which Can Be Completed Within One Hundred Eighty (180) Days. Within sixty (60) days of notice to Lessor of such damage or destruction, Lessor shall provide Lessee with notice of its determination of whether the damage or destruction can be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days of such damage or destruction without the payment of overtime or other premium. If all repairs to such Premises or Building or Property can, in Lessor's judgment, be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of notice to Lessor of such damage or destruction without the payment of overtime or other premium, Lessor shall, at Lessor's expense, subject to Section 15.4 below, repair the same to substantially their former condition and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and a proportionate reduction of Base Rental shall be allowed Lessee for such portion of the Premises as shall be rendered inaccessible or unusable to Lessee, and which is not used by Lessee, during the period of time that such portion is unusable or inaccessible and not used by Lessee.

(b)    Repairs Which Cannot Be Completed Within One Hundred Eighty (180) Days. If all such repairs to the Premises or Building or Property cannot, in Lessor's judgment, be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of notice to Lessor of such damage or destruction without the payment of overtime or other premium, Lessor shall notify Lessee of such determination and Lessor may, at Lessor's sole and absolute option, upon written notice to Lessee given within sixty (60) days after notice to Lessor of the occurrence of such damage or destruction, and subject to Section 15.4 below, elect to repair such damage or destruction to substantially their former condition at Lessor's expense, and in such event, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect but the Base Rental shall be proportionately reduced in the amount and for the duration as hereinabove provided in Section 15.1(a). If Lessor does not elect to make such repairs, then either Lessor or Lessee may, by written notice to the other no later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction, elect to terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage or destruction.

Section 15.2    Loss Not Covered By Insurance. If, at any time prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease, the Premises or the Building or the Property is totally or partially damaged or destroyed from a casualty, which loss, in Lessor's judgment, cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of notice to Lessor of such damage or destruction, and such damage or destruction is not fully covered (except for any deductible) by insurance maintained by Lessor or for Lessor's benefit, and which damage renders the Premises inaccessible or unusable to Lessee in the ordinary course of its business, Lessor may, at its option, upon written notice to Lessee within sixty (60) days after notice to Lessor of the occurrence of such damage or destruction, and subject to Section 15.4 below, elect to repair or restore such damage or destruction to substantially their former condition, or Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease (provided Lessor shall not be required to use said insurance proceeds, if any, for the purposes described in this Section 15.2). If Lessor elects to repair or restore such damage or destruction, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect but the Base Rental shall be proportionately reduced as provided in Section 15.1(a). If Lessor does not elect by notice to Lessee to repair or restore such damage, this Lease shall terminate.

Section 15.3    Substantial Damage; Damage During Final Year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 15.1 or 15.2:

(a)    If the Building is damaged or destroyed to the extent that, in Lessor's sole judgment, the cost to repair and/or restore the Building would exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost of the Building, whether or not the Premises are at all damaged or destroyed, then Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice thereof to Lessee;

(b)    If the Premises or the Building or the Property are wholly or partially damaged or destroyed within the final twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease, and no renewal rights have been exercised by Lessee prior to such damage or destruction, then Lessor or Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice thereof to the other; or

(c)    If the Premises or the Building or the Property are wholly or partially damaged or destroyed within the final twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease, and no renewal rights have been exercised by Lessee prior to such damage or destruction, and if, as a result of such damage or destruction, Lessee is denied access or use of the Premises for the conduct of its business operations for a period of ten (10) consecutive business days, then, Lessee may, at its option, by giving Lessor written notice no later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction, elect to terminate this Lease.

Section 15.4    Exclusive Remedy. This Article 15 shall be Lessee's sole and exclusive remedy in the event of damage or destruction to the Premises and/or the Building, and Lessee, as a material inducement to Lessor's entering into this Lease, irrevocably waives and releases Lessee's rights under California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) and any other applicable existing or future law permitting the termination of a lease agreement in the event of damage to, or destruction of, any part or all of the Premises and/or Building. No damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Lessor for any inconvenience, any interruption or cessation of Lessee's business, or any annoyance, arising from any damage to or destruction of all or any portion of the Premises or the Building. In no event shall Lessor have any obligation to repair or restore any of Lessee's personal property, trade fixtures or Alterations.

Section 16.1    Permanent Taking - When Lease Can Be Terminated. If the whole of the Premises, or so much of the Premises as to render the balance unusable by Lessee, shall be taken under the power of eminent domain, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of final judgment in such condemnation, or as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority, whichever is earlier. A sale by Lessor under threat of condemnation shall constitute a "taking" for the purpose of this Article 16. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned and Lessee assigns to Lessor all awards which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together with all rights of Lessee to such award, including, without limitation, any award of compensation for the value of all or any part of the leasehold estate created hereby; provided that nothing contained in this Article 16 shall be deemed to give Lessor any interest in or to require Lessee to assign to Lessor any award made to Lessee for (a) the taking of Lessee's Personal Property, or (b) interruption of or damage to Lessee's business, or (c) Lessee's unamortized cost of the Lessee Improvements to the extent paid for by Lessee; provided further that Lessee's award shall in no event diminish the award to Lessor.

Section 16.2    Permanent Taking - When Lease Cannot Be Terminated. In the event of a partial taking which does not result in a termination of this Lease under Section 16.1, Base Rental shall be proportionately reduced based on the portion of the Premises rendered unusable, and Lessor shall restore the Premises or the Building to the extent of available condemnation proceeds.

Section 16.3    Temporary Taking. No temporary taking (less than thirty (30) days) of the Premises or any part of the Premises and/or of Lessee's rights to the Premises or under this Lease shall terminate this Lease or give Lessee any right to any abatement of any payments owed to Lessor pursuant to this Lease, any award made to Lessee by reason of such temporary taking shall belong entirely to Lessee; provided, however, in no event shall an award to Lessee reduce any award to Lessor.

Section 16.4    Exclusive Remedy. This Article 16 shall be Lessee's sole and exclusive remedy in the event of a taking or condemnation. Lessee hereby waives the benefit of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130.

Section 16.5    Release Upon Termination. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to this Article 16, Lessee and Lessor hereby agree to release each other from any and all obligations and liabilities with respect to this Lease except such obligations and liabilities which arose or accrued prior to such termination.

Section 17.1    Default by Lessee. Each of the following shall be an "Event of Default" (sometimes referred to herein as a "default") by Lessee and a material breach of this Lease:

(a)    Lessee fails to make any payment of Rent owed by Lessee under this Lease as and when due, if the failure continues for three (3) days after written notice of the failure from Lessor to Lessee;

(b)    Lessee shall fail to observe, keep or perform any of the terms, covenants, agreements or conditions under this Lease that Lessee is obligated to observe or perform, other than that described in subsection (a) above, for a period of ten (10) days after notice to Lessee of said failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's default is such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default under this Lease if Lessee shall commence the cure of such default so specified within said ten (10) day period and diligently prosecute the same to completion within thirty (30) days after the original notice to Lessee of said failure. Such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Section 1161 of the California Code of Civil Procedure;

(c)    Lessee shall (i) make any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) become a "debtor" as defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same is dismissed within 60 days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Lessee within 30 days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within 30 days. Provided, however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect; or

(d)    The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Lessee.

Any notice required or permitted by this Section 17.1 shall satisfy, to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, any and all notice requirements imposed by law on the Lessor under the Lease, and this Section 17.1 shall not be intended to create notice obligations beyond what is legally required. Lessor may serve a notice to quit, a notice to pay rent or quit, a notice of default, or any other notice, as the case may be, to effect the giving of any notice required by this Section 17.1.

Section 17.2    Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed under this Lease unless Lessor has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Lessee specifying in detail Lessor's failure to perform; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Lessor shall not be deemed in default if it shall commence such performance within thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion. Lessee shall have no rights as a result of any default by Lessor until Lessee also gives thirty (30) days' notice to any person who has a recorded interest pertaining to the Building or the Property, specifying the nature of the default. Such person shall then have the right to cure such default, and Lessor shall not be deemed in default if such person cures such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the default, or within such longer period of time as may reasonably be necessary to cure the default. If Lessor or such person does not cure the default, Lessee may exercise such rights or remedies as shall be provided or permitted by law to recover any damages proximately caused by such default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Lessee's remedy for any breach or default of this Lease by Lessor shall be limited to an action for damages. Lessee agrees that, in the event that it becomes entitled to receive damages from Lessor, Lessee shall not be allowed to recover from Lessor consequential damages or damages in excess of the out-of-pocket expenditures incurred by Lessee as a result of a default by Lessor. In any event, it is expressly understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, and notwithstanding any applicable law to the contrary, the liability of Lessor hereunder (including any successor lessor) and any recourse by Lessee against Lessor shall be limited solely and exclusively to the interest of Lessor in and to the Property and Building, and the rents therefrom, and neither Lessor, nor any of its constituent partners, shall have any personal liability therefor, and Lessee hereby expressly waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Lessee.

Section 18.1    Termination of Lease. In case of an Event of Default by Lessee, Lessor shall have the right, in addition to all other rights available to Lessor under this Lease or now or later permitted by law or equity, to terminate this Lease by providing Lessee with a notice of termination. Upon termination, Lessor may recover any damages proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform under this Lease, or which are likely in the ordinary course of business to be incurred, including any amount expended or to be expended by Lessor in an effort to mitigate damages, as well as any other damages to which Lessor is entitled to recover under any statute now or later in effect. Lessor's damages include the worth, at the time of any award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of the Rent loss that the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided. The worth at the time of award shall be determined by discounting to present value such amount at one percent (1%) more than the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank in San Francisco in effect at the time of the award. Other damages to which Lessor is entitled shall bear interest at the Interest Rate.

Section 18.2    Continuation of Lease. In accordance with California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (or any successor statute), Lessee acknowledges that in the event Lessee has breached this Lease and abandoned the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee's right to possession, and Lessor may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent as it becomes due under this Lease. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to re-let the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Lessor to protect Lessor's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Lessee's right to possession.

Section 18.3    Right of Entry. In case of an Event of Default by Lessee, Lessor shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to enter the Premises and remove all persons and personal property from the Premises, such property being removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at Lessee's sole cost and expense for at least thirty (30) days, and after such thirty (30) day period, Lessor shall have the right to discard or otherwise dispose of such property without liability therefor to Lessee or any other person. No removal by Lessor of any persons or property in the Premises shall constitute an election to terminate this Lease. Such an election to terminate may only be made by Lessor in writing, or decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Lessor's right of entry shall include the right to remodel the Premises and re-let the Premises. All costs incurred in such entry and re-letting shall be paid by Lessee, provided no cost to remodel the Premises or re-let the Premises in excess of the unamortized Tenant Improvement Allowance or the broker fees paid by the Lessor in connection with this Lease shall be the responsibility of the Lessee. Rents collected by Lessor from any other tenant which occupies the Premises shall be offset against the amounts owed to Lessor by Lessee. Lessee shall be responsible for any amounts not recovered by Lessor from any other tenant which occupies the Premises. Any payments made by Lessee shall be credited to the amounts owed by Lessee in the sole order and discretion of Lessor, irrespective of any designation or request by Lessee. No entry by Lessor shall prevent Lessor from later terminating this Lease by written notice.

Section 18.4    Remedies. Lessee hereby waives, for itself and all persons claiming by and under Lessee, all rights and privileges which it might have under any present or future law to redeem the Premises or to continue this Lease after being dispossessed or ejected from the Premises. The rights and remedies of Lessor set forth in this Lease are not exclusive, and Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy available to it under this Lease, at law or in equity.

Section 18.5    Lessor's Right to Assign. Lessor shall have the right to sell, encumber, convey, transfer and/or assign any and all of its rights and obligations under this Lease.

Section 18.6    Intentionally Deleted

Section 19.1    Attorneys' Fees. If either Lessor or Lessee commences or engages in any action, litigation, arbitration or proceeding against the other Party arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the Premises, the Building or the Property, including, but not limited to, any action or proceeding (a) for recovery of any payment owed by either Party under this Lease, or (b) to recover possession of the Premises, or (c) for damages for breach of this Lease, or (d) relating to the enforcement or interpretation of either Party's rights or obligations under this Lease (whether in contract, tort, or both), or (e) relating to any proceeding where either Party is requesting a determination of rights and responsibilities under the Lease, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to have and recover from the losing Party reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the action, litigation, arbitration or proceeding, including any attorney's fees, costs and expenses incurred in preparation of said action, litigation, arbitration or proceeding, and also incurred on collection and appeal. If Lessor becomes involved in any action, litigation, arbitration or dispute, threatened or actual, by or against anyone not a party to this Lease, but arising by reason of, or related to, any act or omission of Lessee or Lessee's Employees, Lessee agrees to pay Lessor's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in connection with the action, litigation, arbitration or dispute, regardless of whether an action, lawsuit or arbitration proceeding is actually filed. If Lessee becomes a party to any action, litigation, arbitration or dispute, threatened or actual, by or against anyone not a party to this Lease, but caused by any act or omission of Lessor, Lessor agrees to pay Lessee's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in connection with the action, litigation, arbitration or dispute, regardless of whether an action, lawsuit or arbitration proceeding is actually filed.

Section 19.2    Attorneys' Fees – Incurred At Lessee's Request and For Lessee's Benefit. Unless agreed by the Parties to the contrary, Lessee understands that it shall pay, as additional rent, actual out-of-pocket attorneys' fees to be incurred by Lessor, at the rate of Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) per hour, in connection with the following:

(a)    any requests (subsequent to the execution of this Agreement) by Lessee to amend, modify or terminate the Lease, including all negotiations with respect thereto, except as such requests may relate to either (i) extending the Lease term, or (ii) adding space to the original Premises;

(b)any request (subsequent to the execution of this Agreement) by Lessee to review and/or consent to an assignment or sublease of the Lease, including all negotiations with respect thereto, whether or not permitted under the Lease, and whether or not agreed to or denied by Lessor; and

(c)    any appearance by and/or other legal service required of Lessor's attorney, at the request of the Lessee, to attend any meeting, participate in any proceeding, and/or review any document requested by Lessee, for any purpose whatsoever, relating to the Lease and/or the respective rights and obligations of Lessor and Lessee, except as such appearance and/or service may relate to either (i) extending the Lease term, or (ii) adding space to the original Premises.

Section 19.3    Expedited Dispute Resolution.  At the election of either Lessor or Lessee, any dispute with respect to the subject matter of the Lease or any other agreement executed in connection with the Lease shall be resolved by a referee pursuant to the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq., for a determination to be made which shall be binding upon the Parties as if tried before a court or jury.  The Parties agree specifically as to the following:

(a)    Within five (5) business days after service of a demand by a Party hereto, the Parties shall agree upon a single referee who shall then try all issues, whether of fact or law, and then report a finding or judgment thereon.  If the Parties are unable to agree upon a referee, either Party may seek to have one appointed, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 640, by the presiding judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court;

(b)     The compensation of the referee shall be such charge as is customarily charged by the referee for like services.  The cost of such proceedings shall initially be borne equally by the Parties.  However, the prevailing Party in such proceedings shall be entitled, in addition to all other costs, to recover its contribution for the cost of the referee as an item of damages and/or recoverable costs;

(c)    If a reporter is requested by either Party, then a reporter shall be present at all proceedings, and the fees of such reporter shall be borne by the Party requesting such reporter.  Such fees shall be an item of recoverable costs.  Only a Party shall be authorized to request a reporter;

(d)     The referee shall apply all California Rules of Procedure and Evidence and shall apply the substantive law of California in deciding the issues to be heard.  Notice of any motions before the referee shall be given, and all matters shall be set at the convenience of the referee;

(e)      The referee’s decision under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 644 shall stand as the judgment of the court, subject to appellate review as provided by the laws of the State of California;

(f)     The Parties agree that they shall in good faith endeavor to cause any such dispute to be decided within four (4) months.  The date of hearing for any proceeding shall be determined by agreement of the Parties and the referee, or if the Parties cannot agree, then by the referee; and

        LESSOR'S INITIALS                              LESSEE'S INITIALS

Section 20.1    Obligations of Lessee. This Lease and the rights granted to Lessee by this Lease are and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to (a) all ground or underlying leases affecting all or any part of the Property now or later existing and all amendments, renewals, modifications, supplements and extensions of this Lease, and (b) all deeds of trust or mortgages now or later affecting or encumbering all or any part of the Property and/or any ground or underlying leasehold estate; provided, however, that if Lessor elects at any time to have Lessee's interest in this Lease be or become superior, senior or prior to any such instrument, then upon receipt by Lessee of written notice of such election, this Lease shall be superior, senior and/or prior to such instrument. Lessee shall immediately execute all commercially reasonable instruments and other commercially reasonable documents required or desired by any lender or Lessor confirming the subordination and/or superiority, as applicable, of this Lease to such mortgage, deed of trust, ground or underlying lease.

Section 20.2    Lessor's Right to Assign. Lessor's interest in this Lease may be assigned to any mortgagee or trust deed beneficiary as additional security. Nothing in this Lease shall empower Lessee to do any act without Lessor's prior written consent which can, shall or may encumber the title of the owner of all or any part of the Property.

Section 20.3    Attornment by Lessee. In the event of the cancellation or termination of any or all ground or underlying leases affecting all or any part of the Building in accordance with its terms or by the surrender thereof, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, or by summary proceedings, or in the event of any foreclosure of any or all mortgages or deeds of trust encumbering all or any part of the Building by trustee's sale, voluntary agreement, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by the commencement of any judicial action seeking foreclosure, Lessee, at the request of the then landlord under this Lease, shall attorn to and recognize (a) the ground or underlying lessor, under the ground or underlying lease being terminated or canceled, and (b) the beneficiary or purchaser at the foreclosure sale, as Lessee's landlord under this Lease, and Lessee agrees to execute and deliver at any time upon request of such ground or underlying lessor, beneficiary, purchaser or their successors, any and all instruments to further evidence such attornment. Lessee hereby waives its right, if any, to elect to terminate this Lease or to surrender possession of the Premises in the event of any such cancellation or termination of such ground or underlying lease or foreclosure of any mortgage or deed of trust.

Section 20.4    Non-Disturbance. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Article 20 to the contrary, Lessee shall be allowed to occupy the Premises subject to the conditions of this Lease, and this Lease shall remain in effect until an uncured Event of Default occurs or until Lessee's rights hereunder are terminated because of an Eminent Domain proceeding pursuant to Article 16 or because of the occurrence of damage and destruction pursuant to Article 15.

Section 20.5    Delivery of Instruments. If Lessee fails to execute and deliver, within ten (10) days following request thereof by Lessor, any documents or instruments required by this Article 20, such failure may, at Lessor's election, constitute a default under this Lease.

Section 21.1    Rules and Regulations. Effective as of the Effective Date, Lessee shall faithfully observe and comply with the rules and regulations pertaining to the Property ("Rules"), a copy of which is attached to this Lease as Exhibit "E," and all reasonable modifications and additions to the Rules from time to time put into effect by Lessor; provided, however, that no modifications or additions to the Rules shall materially interfere with Lessee's permitted use of the Premises as set forth in Section 6.1. Lessor shall not be responsible to Lessee for the nonperformance of any of the Rules by any other occupant or tenant of the Property; provided, however, that Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts (but not including the institution of legal proceedings) to cause such other tenants and occupants of the Property to comply with the Rules, to the extent such non-compliance materially and adversely interferes with Lessee's access to the Premises or use of the Premises for the purposes permitted under this Lease.

Section 21.2    Certain Construction Requirements. Prior to undertaking any physical work in or around the Premises, Lessee shall notify Lessor, in writing, of the exact nature and location of the proposed work and shall promptly supply such additional information regarding the proposed work as Lessor shall request. After receipt of Lessee's notice, Lessor may, to the extent appropriate, supply Lessee with the Building regulations and procedures for working in areas where there is a risk of coming into contact with materials or building systems which if not properly handled could cause health or safety risks, could damage such systems and/or the Building, or which could adversely impact any warranty relating thereto. Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, strictly comply with all such Building regulations and procedures established by Lessor and with all applicable Federal, state and local governmental statutes, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, controls and guidelines (collectively, "Laws"). Lessor shall have the right at all times to monitor the work for compliance with the Building regulations and procedures, the Rules and all Laws. If Lessor determines that any applicable Laws or any Rules and/or any Building regulations or procedures are not being strictly complied with, Lessor may immediately require the cessation of all work being performed in or around the Premises until such time as Lessor is satisfied that the applicable Rules, Laws, regulations and procedures will be observed. Lessor's monitoring of any work in or around the Premises shall not be deemed a certification by Lessor of compliance with any applicable Laws, Rules, Building regulations or procedures or a waiver by Lessor of its right to require strict compliance with such Laws, Rules, regulations or procedures, nor shall such monitoring relieve Lessee from any liabilities relating to such work.

Section 22.1    Surrender of Possession. Lessee shall surrender possession of the Premises immediately upon the expiration of the Term or termination of this Lease. If Lessee shall continue to occupy or possess the Premises after such expiration or termination without the consent of Lessor, then unless Lessor and Lessee have otherwise agreed in writing, Lessee shall be a tenant from month-to-month. All the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease shall apply to this month-to-month tenancy except those terms, provisions and conditions pertaining to the Term, and except that the Base Rental shall be immediately adjusted upward upon the expiration or termination to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rental for the Premises in effect under this Lease during the month which includes the day immediately prior to the date of the expiration or termination of this Lease. This month-to-month tenancy may be terminated by Lessor or Lessee upon thirty (30) days' prior notice to the other Party. In the event that Lessee fails to surrender the Premises upon such termination or expiration, then Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessor harmless against all loss or liability to the extent caused by Lessee's failure to surrender the Premises, including, but not limited to, any amounts required to be paid to any tenant or prospective tenant who was to have occupied the Premises after said termination or expiration and any related attorneys' fees and brokerage commissions.

Section 22.2    Payment of Money After Termination. No payment of money by Lessee to Lessor after the termination of this Lease by Lessor, or after the giving of any notice of termination to Lessee by Lessor which Lessor is entitled to give Lessee under this Lease, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term of this Lease or shall affect any such notice given to Lessee prior to the payment of such money, it being agreed that after the service of such notice or the commencement of any suit by Lessor to obtain possession of the Premises, Lessor may receive and collect, when due, any and all payments owed by Lessee under this Lease, and otherwise exercise any and all of its rights and remedies. The making of any such payments by Lessee or acceptance of same by Lessor shall not waive such notice of termination, or in any manner affect any pending suit or judgment obtained.

Section 23.1    Inspections and Access. Lessor may enter the Premises upon no less than twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice to Lessee. Lessee shall be personally present to open and permit an entry into the Premises.

Section 24.1    Name of Building. Lessee shall not use any name, insignia or logotype of the Building or Continental Park for any purpose other than for designating Lessee’s address. Lessee shall not use any picture of the Building, the Property or Continental Park in its advertising, stationery or any other manner. Lessor expressly reserves the right in Lessor's sole and absolute discretion, at any time to change the name, insignia, logotype or street address of the Building or the Property without in any manner being liable to Lessee.

Section 25.1    Surrender of Lease. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Lessor, operate as an assignment to it of Lessee's interest in any or all such subleases or subtenancies.

Section 26.1    Waiver. No obligation, term, covenant, or agreement in this Lease shall be deemed waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party so waiving the same. The waiver by Lessor or Lessee of any term, covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or of any other term, covenant, agreement, condition or provision of this Lease, nor shall any failure to enforce compliance with any or all of the terms, covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Lease (except as expressly provided in this Lease), or any custom or practice which may develop between the Parties in the administration of this Lease, be construed to waive or lessen the right of Lessor or Lessee to insist upon the performance by the other in strict accordance with all of the terms, covenants, agreements, conditions and provisions of this Lease. The subsequent acceptance by Lessor of any payment owed by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease, or the payment of Rent by Lessee, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant, agreement, condition or provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to make the specific payment so accepted by Lessor, regardless of Lessor's or Lessee's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of the making or acceptance of such payment. No payment by Lessee, nor receipt by Lessor, of a lesser amount than the Rent or Additional rent required to be paid under this Lease will be deemed to be anything other than a payment on account of the earliest Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder. No endorsement or statement on any check, or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent, will be deemed an accord and satisfaction. The delivery of Lessee's keys to any employee or agent of Lessor will not constitute a termination of this Agreement unless Lessor has entered into a written agreement to that effect.

Section 27.1    Sale by Lessor. In the event Lessor shall sell, assign, convey or transfer all or a part of its interest in the Building or any part of the Property, Lessee agrees to attorn to such transferee, assignee or new owner, and upon consummation of such sale, conveyance or transfer, Lessor shall automatically be freed and relieved from all liability and obligations accruing or to be performed from and after the date of such sale, transfer or conveyance. Lessor shall have the right to subdivide the Property into separate legal lots or parcels and, without materially and adversely affecting the obligations of Lessee, the right to reallocate and adjust the rights, duties and obligations of Lessor and Lessee hereunder so that, as between Lessor and Lessee, those rights, duties and obligations relate only to the lots or parcels on which the Building is located and on which sufficient parking facilities are located to comply with Lessor's obligations under this Lease. To the extent that those rights, duties and obligations cannot be equitably allocated to only one lot or parcel, Lessor may elect to record a reciprocal easement agreement appurtenant to the Building. If Lessor records such an agreement, Lessee shall subordinate this Lease to that agreement.

Section 28.1    No Light and Air Easement. Any diminution or shutting off of light or air by any structure which may be erected on the land or upon lands adjacent to or in the vicinity of the Property shall not affect this Lease, abate any payment owed by Lessee under this Lease or otherwise impose any liability on Lessor.

Section 29.1    Force Majeure. Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall be chargeable with, liable for, or responsible to the other for anything or in any amount for any failure to perform or delay caused by: fire; earthquake; explosion; flood; hurricane; the elements; Acts of God or the public enemy; actions, restrictions, limitations or interference of governmental authorities or agents; war; invasion; insurrection; rebellion; riots; strikes or lockouts; inability to obtain necessary materials, goods, equipment, services, utilities or labor; or any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing which is beyond the reasonable control of Lessor or Lessee; and any such failure or delay due to said causes or any of them shall not be deemed a breach of or default in the performance of this Lease.

Section 30.1    Estoppel Certificates. Lessee shall, at any time and from time to time upon request of Lessor, within ten (10) days following notice of such request from Lessor, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor, a certificate ("Estoppel Certificate") in writing in a form as Lessor or any of its lenders, prospective purchasers, lienholders or assignees may reasonably deem appropriate. Lessee's failure to deliver the Estoppel Certificate within this ten (10) day period may, at Lessor's election, constitute a default hereunder.

Section 31.1    Right to Performance. All covenants, conditions and agreements to be performed by Lessee under this Lease shall be performed by Lessee at Lessee's sole cost and expense. If Lessee shall fail to perform any such covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be performed under this Lease, and such failure shall continue for three (3) days after written notice thereof to Lessee (provided that no notice shall be required in cases of emergency), Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to do so, without waiving or releasing Lessee from any obligations of Lessee under this Lease, perform any such act on Lessee's part to be made or performed as provided in this Lease. Any performance by Lessor of Lessee's obligations shall not waive or cure any Event of Default of Lessee for such failure. All reasonable costs incurred by Lessor with respect to any such performance by Lessor (including reasonable attorneys' fees) shall be immediately paid by Lessee to Lessor.

Section 32.1    Parking Facilities. Lessor shall maintain and operate, or cause to be maintained and operated, automobile parking facilities ("Parking Facilities") in, adjacent to, or within a reasonable distance from the Building. Lessee's privileges during the term hereof with respect to the Parking Facilities shall be in accordance with the provisions of the attached Exhibit "F."

Section 33.1     Lessee's Right to Install Security System. Lessee wishes to install an automated and/or non-automated security system in, on or about the Premises; provided, Lessee shall first provide Lessor with a copy of Lessee's plan for any such system, and Lessor shall have the right to review and approve said plan, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 34.1    Notices. All notices, requests, consents, approvals, payments in connection with this Lease, or communications that either Party desires or is required or permitted to give or make to the other Party under this Lease, shall only be deemed to have been given, made and delivered, (a) when made or given in writing and personally served; or (b) three (3) days after deposit in the United States mail, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid to the respective addresses of Lessee or Lessor as set forth below; or (c) delivered by a reputable overnight delivery service such as Federal Express, Airborne, United Parcel Service, DHL Worldwide Express, or Ontrac Delivery with charges prepaid, notice to be effective on delivery if confirmed by the delivery service.

Section 35.15    Lessee's Responsibility Regarding Hazardous Substances.

(a)     Prohibition. Lessee shall not cause or knowingly permit the manufacture, generation, storage, use, transportation, treatment, incineration, disposal, discharge or release of any Hazardous Substance in, on, under, from or about the Premises or the Property. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Lessee may store and use supplies (in amounts not exceeding quantities normally used for Lessee’s approved use of Premises) containing Hazardous Substances so long as such supplies (a) are of a type and chemical composition commonly associated with Lessee’s approved use of Premises, (b) are stored and used only in such quantities as are reasonably incidental to such use and in compliance with any manufacturer’s directions or warnings and all applicable Laws, and (c) are disposed of by Lessee in compliance with applicable Laws. Lessee shall store and use all such supplies in a manner which reduces to the greatest extent reasonably practical the threat of any release of any Hazardous Substance and shall promptly and with reasonable care clean up any such release to the satisfaction of Lessor and any governmental authority having jurisdiction thereof. In no event shall Lessee use or store any asbestos‑containing materials or PCBs on or about the Property or the Premises.

(b)     Required Warnings. Lessee shall give all warnings required by the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (California Health & Safety Code §§ 25249.5 et seq.), as amended from time to time, with respect to any exposures occurring in the Premises or as a result of Lessee’s use of the Premises or the Property.

(c)     Environmental Problems. If Lessee knows or has reasonable cause to believe that any Hazardous Substance is located or will come to be located on the Premises or Property (an “Environmental Problem”), whether or not caused or permitted by Lessee, Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor. Lessee shall exercise reasonable care to avoid any Lessee Related Environmental Problem (as such term is defined below). Lessee shall give any and all notices of any Lessee Related Environmental Problem required by applicable Environmental Protection Laws, including, without limitation, any notice required by Section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et seq.) and any notice required by Sections 13271 or 13272 of the California Water Code, as each may be amended from time to time. Lessee shall immediately give Lessor notice of any governmental investigation or any governmental or regulatory action, proceeding, order or decree relating to any Lessee Related Environmental Problem and, at Lessee’s expense, shall timely comply in all respects with any such order or decree, unless Lessor first notifies Lessee that Lessor intends to contest such order or decree. Prior to commencing any corrective or remedial action with respect to any Environmental Problem (except for any such action taken to comply with an order or decree which Lessor has not elected to contest), Lessee shall obtain the consent of Lessor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and each governmental authority exercising jurisdiction with respect to such Environmental Problem.

(d)    Lessor’s Access to Information. Within ten (10) business days after Lessor’s request therefor (or within such shorter time as may be reasonably required by Lessor), Lessee shall provide Lessor with any information reasonably requested by Lessor, to enable Lessor to comply with any applicable Environmental Protection Law.

If Lessee breaches its obligations stated in this Section 35.15, or if the presence of Hazardous Substances in, upon, under or about the Premises or other portions of the Building or Property caused by Lessee, Lessee's Employees or Lessee's sublessees results in the contamination of the Premises or other portions of the Building, or if contamination of the Premises or other portions of the Property by Hazardous Substances otherwise occurs for which Lessee may be liable to Lessor for damages resulting therefrom, then Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessor and Lessor's Employees harmless from and against any and all liabilities, costs, expenses, claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines or losses (including, without limitation, diminution in value of the Premises or other portions of the Building, damages for the loss or restriction on use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Premises or other portions of the Building, damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space in the Premises or other portions of the Building, and sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees, consultants' fees and experts' fees) which arise after the execution date of this Lease or during the Term of this Lease or after the Term of this Lease as a result of such contamination. This obligation of Lessee to indemnify, defend and hold Lessor harmless shall survive and extend beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for a period of one (1) year.

Section 35.16    Nondiscrimination. The Lessee herein covenants by and for himself, his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through him, and this Lease is made and accepted upon and subject to the following conditions. That there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of sex, marital status, race, color, religion, creed, national origin or ancestry, in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, use or enjoyment of the Premises, nor shall the Lessee himself, or any person claiming under or through him establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy, of tenants, lessees, sublessees, subtenants or vendees in the Premises.

Section 35.17    No Offer. The preparation of this Lease and/or the submission of this Lease to Lessee shall not be deemed an offer to lease the Premises or any other premises to Lessee. This Lease shall only become binding upon Lessor and Lessee when it is fully executed and a fully executed original Lease is delivered by Lessor to Lessee.

Section 35.18    Broker's Commission. Lessor and Lessee each hereby represent and warrant to the other that it has not engaged or dealt with any real estate brokers, salespersons, finders or other persons entitled to any compensation (“Broker’s Commission”) relating to this Lease, except for L.A. Realty Partners. If Lessee's or Lessor's representation and warranty contained in this paragraph is inaccurate, then the Party making the inaccurate representation hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the other harmless from and against any and all liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the claims of any brokers, salespersons, finders or other persons.

Section 35.19    Joint and Several Obligations of Lessee. If more than one individual or entity comprises Lessee, the obligations imposed on each individual or entity that comprises Lessee under this Lease shall be joint and several.

Section 35.20    Jurisdiction and Enforcement. The Parties hereto agree that this Lease Agreement is made and entered into in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, and that all legal actions relating to this Lease Agreement shall be filed and entertained in the Courts in and for the County of Los Angeles, State of California.

Section 35.21    Compliance with Safety Regulations. Lessee shall comply, and Lessee shall require Lessee's Employees to comply, with all safety, fire protection, and evacuation procedures and regulations established by Lessor or by any government agency.

Section 35.22    Modifications to Building. Lessor may elect to make certain modifications and improvements to the Building that may cause the building load factor and the rentable area of the Premises to change. Should this occur, then Lessee understands that upon substantial completion of said modifications / improvements, the rentable square footage for the Premises may increase / decrease, and Base Rental will increase / decrease by the proportion the revised rentable square feet bear to the rentable square feet shown on Section 1.1(g) above, except, however, that in no event shall Lessee’s Base Rental increase by more than one percent (1%) per year, two percent (2%) cumulative.

Section 35.23    Electromagnetic Fields. Lessor and Lessee hereby recognize and understand that the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences ("NIEHS") and the Department of Energy ("DOE") have conducted research to understand the potential for health risks from exposure to extremely low frequency electric and magnetic fields ("ELF-EMF"), and that said research has led the NIEHS and DOE to conclude: "Any scientific evidence to suggest that ELF-EMF exposure may pose health risk is weak (emphasis added)." Because ongoing public concern over safety due to ELF-EMF exposure has prompted more research in this area, which research may subsequently conclude that adverse health effects may result from ELF-EMF exposure, Lessee hereby agrees that it shall not be entitled to claim any breach of warranty of quiet enjoyment, or any and all other damages, claims or losses based upon claims of injury or otherwise due to ELF-EMF exposure, it being deemed a material covenant on the part of Lessee, upon which Lessor relies in entering into this Lease, that Lessee hereby assumes the risk of any damage or injury to Lessee and to Lessee's Employees flowing from ELF-EMF exposure.

Section 35.24    Ban on Smoking. Lessee understands that Lessor's ventilation system in the Building connects to more than one premises and/or to the Building's common areas, and that the City of El Segundo bans tenants from smoking within their own premises whenever a landlord's ventilation system connects to more than one premises or to the Building's commons areas. Therefore, to prevent second-hand smoke from traveling through the Building's ventilation system and adversely affecting non-smoking tenants in other premises or common areas, Lessee agrees (1) that it will not permit any of Lessee's Employees to smoke any substance through any form (including, but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, pipes, hookahs, vaporizers, e-cigarettes or electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS)) in the Premises or anywhere within the Building, and (2) that it will implement reasonable measures to direct Lessee's Employees to smoke outside the Building. Lessee shall comply with all current and future federal, state, and local environmental and IAQ laws, regulations, and industry standards, including, without limitation, any restrictions on smoking in the workplace.

Section 35.25    Financial Information Disclosure. If reasonably required by Lessor, no more than once in any twelve (12) month period, and upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written request, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor (a) a current, accurate, complete, and detailed financial statement on Lessee to include a balance sheet, profit and loss statement, cash flow summary, and all accounting footnotes, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and certified by the Chief Financial Officer of Lessee to be a fair and true presentation of Lessee's current financial position; (b) if reasonably required by Lessor, a current, accurate, complete, and detailed financial statement on Lessee audited by an independent Certified Public Accountant; (c) current bank references for Lessee; and (d) if available, a current Dun & Bradstreet Report about Lessee. Lessee agrees that its failure to reasonably comply with this Section shall constitute an Event of Default by Lessee under the Lease.

Section 35.26    Interior Signage. Lessor will provide Lessee, if so requested by Lessee, and at Lessor’s cost, for the first time only (using building standard materials and design) the following interior signage: (a) one (1) tenant suite sign located at the entrance to Lessee's Premises; and (b) one (1) directory strip sign located in the Building lobby. Both signs will be provided for the display of the name and location of the Lessee of the Building shown in Section 1.1(b), and Lessor reserves the right to exclude any other names therefrom.

Section 35.27    Restrictive Covenant. During the Lease Term and during all extensions thereof, Lessee shall not use, nor shall Lessee permit its successors, assigns, officers, directors, shareholders, parent, affiliated and subsidiary corporations, or affiliated Parties to use the Premises as a store, business, trade or profession (whether separately or as part of another entity) as a "salon" that engages in the sale, dispensing or providing, retail, or wholesale, of salon products and/or services, including, without limitation, facials, skin care treatments or products, massage, manicures, pedicures and hair styling. Lessee understands that by this reference Murad Salon, and Murad Salon's successors and assigns, shall be deemed third Party beneficiaries of said restrictive covenant.

Section 35.28    Rights Reserved by Lessor. Provided that the exercise of such rights does not unreasonably interfere with Lessee's occupancy of the premises, Lessor shall have the following rights:

(a)    Building and Property Operations. To decorate and to make inspections, repairs, alterations, additions, changes, or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in and about the Building and Property, or any part thereof; to enter upon the Premises (after giving Lessee reasonable written notice thereof, except in cases of real or apparent emergency, in which case no notice shall be required) and, during the continuance of any such work, to temporarily close doors, entryways, public space, and corridors in the Building and Property; to interrupt or temporarily suspend Building services and facilities; to change the name of the Building and/or Property; and to change the arrangement and location of entrances or passageways, doors, and doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, restrooms, or other public parts of the Building and/or Property;

(b)    Security. To take such reasonable measures as Lessor deems advisable for the security of the Building, the Property and its occupants, such as, but not limited to, evacuating the Building for cause, suspected cause, or for drill purposes; temporarily denying access to the Building; and closing the Building after normal business hours and on Sundays and holidays, subject, however, to Lessee's right to enter when the Building is closed after normal business hours under such reasonable regulations as Lessor may prescribe from time to time;

(c)    Prospective Purchasers and Lenders. Upon twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice, to enter the Premises during normal business hours and without disturbing the Lessee’s business, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers or lenders; and

(d)    Prospective Lessees. At any time during the last three (3) months of the Term (or earlier if Lessee has notified Lessor in writing that it does not desire to renew the Term) or at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, to enter the Premises during normal business hours to show the Premises to prospective tenants, without disturbing the Lessee’s business.

Section 35.29    Construction of Agreement. Each Party herein shall be deemed to have been the draftsman of this Lease and the language of this Lease shall be construed according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any of the Parties hereto.

Section 35.30    Inspection by Certified Access Specialist. Lessor declares, pursuant to Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, that the Property has undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (“CASp”) and that the Property has not been determined to meet all applicable construction-related accessibility standards pursuant to Section 55.53 of the California Civil Code.

Section 35.31    Electrical Consumption Regulations. Lessee understands that during the Term it may experience fluctuations in lighting levels as mandated by the State of California, 2013 CALGreen, Part 11, Title 24, California Code of Regulations, and that Lessee, in conjunction with such rules and regulations, will not be permitted to override the motion sensors, dimmers, selected electrical duplex receptacles on timers and other electrical devices that Lessor specifically designed in the Building to reduce the amount of electrical consumption in the Premises.

Section 35.32    Rent Abatement Provisions. Base Rental in the amount of $161,442.00, representing fifty percent (50%) of the Base Rental from April 1, 2017 through January 31, 2018, shall be conditionally abated. The abatement of Base Rent is conditioned upon Lessee's full and timely performance of all of its obligations under the Lease. If at any time during the Term an Event of Default by Lessee occurs, and is not cured within thirty (30) days, then the unamortized portion of the abatement of Base Rent over the initial term of this Lease shall immediately become void, and Lessee shall promptly pay to Lessor, in addition to all other amounts due to Lessor under this Lease, the full amount of all Base Rent herein abated.

Section 35.33    Monument Sign. Lessor grants Lessee (for purposes of this Article "Lessee" shall mean only the original Party who signed this Lease as the Lessee) the nonexclusive right to display its name in the building standard font on the monument sign of the Building (the "Monument Sign") subject to the following provisions:

(a)    Lessee's right to display its name on the Monument Sign shall be automatically withdrawn by Lessor, without further notice to Lessee, thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date hereof, unless Lessee shall prior thereto (1) notify Lessor in writing that it elects to display its name on the Monument Sign, and (2) pay Lessor the cost to fabricate and install said signage;

(b)    Lessee's right to display its name on the Monument Sign shall be withdrawn by Lessor following fifteen (15) days written notice to Lessee by Lessor if Lessee (a) occupies less than 3,000 rentable square feet of the Building; (b) sublets, in the aggregate, more than 5,969 rentable square feet of the premises, (c) assigns the Lease, or (d) is in default of this Lease under Article 17 hereof;

(c)    Lessor shall install Lessee’s name on the Monument Sign and Lessee shall reimburse Lessor’s for all expenses related to such installation. Additionally, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, from time to time and within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand, Lessee's portion of all expenses incurred by Lessor that are attributable to the lighting (if applicable), maintenance, cleaning and repair of the Monument Sign during the period of time that Lessee's name is on the Monument Sign. Lessee's portion of such expenses shall be calculated by Lessor by dividing such expenses equally among all lessees and occupants that have signs on the Monument Sign;

(d)    Lessee shall pay to Lessor, in advance, without prior notice, demand or billing statement, on or before the first day of each calendar month, the prevailing monthly lease rate (the “Sign Rent”) then charged by Lessor for the sign, which Sign Rent shall be subject to increase by Lessor, from time to time, following sixty (60) day advance written notice to Lessee, to the prevailing rate for the sign uniformly applied to all tenants in the Building (however, the Sign Rent shall not increase more than one (1) time during any consecutive twelve (12) month period). Currently, the Sign Rent is Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) per month. Following the date the Exterior Building Sign is installed on the Building, Lessee’s obligation to pay the Sign Rent shall continue throughout the Lease Term, including all extensions of the Term, irrespective of whether or not Lessee elects to remove the sign from the Building prior to the termination of the Lease;

(e)    Lessor shall have the right to relocate, redesign, and/or reconstruct the Monument Sign from time to time as determined by Lessor in Lessor's sole discretion; and

(f)    Upon termination and/or expiration of the Lease Term, Lessor shall permanently remove Lessee's name from the Monument Sign, repair any damage to the Monument Sign that may result from the removal of Lessee's name, and charge Lessee for all expenses and costs incurred in connection with said removal and repair. The design, size, specifications, graphics, materials, colors, and lighting (if applicable) of the Monument Sign (and all panels, if any, on said sign) shall be determined by Lessor in Lessor’s sole discretion.

Section 35.34    Amenity License. Lessee and Lessee's employees are hereby granted a license during the Lease term for access to and for use of the exercise gym and the shower facilities located on the first floor of the Building, on a nonexclusive basis with the other tenants of the Building (to be used by Lessee for their intended and common use).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties acknowledge that each has carefully read each and every provision of this Lease and that each has fully entered into this Lease as of the date first appearing above of its own free will and volition.

THIS CONSTRUCTION WORK LETTER (the "Agreement") supplements the Lease to which this Agreement is attached. The terms used herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Lease, unless such meanings are expressly contradicted herein. In addition, all rights and remedies of Lessor and Lessee under the Lease shall apply in the event of a default in any of the provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement is hereby made a part of the Lease.

1.    Construction of Base Building

1.1    Base Building Improvements. Lessor has constructed and Lessee hereby accepts as constructed the Base Building Improvements consisting of a parking facility and building shell and core (collectively the "Base Building Improvements"). The building shell and core includes the following: (a) bare, trowel finished, concrete slab floors; (b) finished core area, including elevators and common area elevator lobbies, toilet rooms, electrical rooms, telephone rooms, janitorial closets, exit stairs and mechanical shafts; (c) primary heating, ventilation and air conditioning service stubbed out to the floor, including main supply air duct, base building digital control system (where applicable) for the HVAC and heating hot water supply mains (Lessee's HVAC improvements to the Premises shall properly and without special requirements, interface and integrate with the Base Building HVAC and its Direct Digital Control System. Such interface and integration, as well as the design of the HVAC system for the Premises, including the distribution thereof shall be consistent and compatible with Lessor's operating requirements and use only a proportionate share of the Building system's capacity); (d) primary fire sprinkler system in open floor plan configuration (any modification to such sprinkler system within the Premises for the Lessee shall be a part of the Lessee Improvements); (e) main electrical panels on each floor including breakers but no distribution; and (f) primary distribution for the fire safety system required by applicable code for unoccupied buildings (including the primary fire sprinkler system and alarms). Any and all modifications to the Base Building Improvements mandated or otherwise required by application and/or interpretation of any federal, state, local or other applicable governmental statutes, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, controls or guidelines (collectively, "Laws") to the extent caused by Lessee's use of, and/or the construction of the Lessee Improvements (as defined in Section 1.2 below) within, the Premises shall be a part of the Lessee Improvements. Thereafter, Lessor shall furnish and install within the Premises those improvements and items of general construction (the "Lessee Improvements") shown on the plans and specifications diligently prepared by Lessor and Lessee and approved by Lessor and Lessee pursuant to Section 2 below, in compliance with all applicable codes and regulations. No portion or element of the Lessee Improvements in the sole judgment of Lessor, shall in any way be in conflict with or adversely impact the Building or any of its systems. All Lessee Improvements shall be constructed pursuant to this Work Letter.

1.2    Lessee Improvements. Lessor shall construct and install (collectively, "construct") the Improvements to the Premises as set forth herein (the "Lessee Improvements") pursuant to plans and specifications mutually approved by the Lessor and Lessee and prepared by the Building Architect. The Lessee Improvements shall consist of, at a minimum, the "Building Standard Improvements" (which Building Standard Improvements are set forth in Exhibit "C-1" attached hereto and made a part hereof) in order to construct a standard office in the Premises, together with an HVAC control system (as specified by Lessor) which Lessor shall connect to the Base Building HVAC control system in accordance with Lessor's specifications and such other improvements as specified in the "Final Plans" (as hereinafter defined) or required by Law. The cost of preparing the plans and specifications for the Lessee Improvements and the cost of constructing the Lessee Improvements shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be borne by Lessee.

1.3    Lessor Supplied Improvements. Lessor shall supply, at Lessor’s sole cost, certain items of the Lessee Improvements including, but not limited to, partial distribution HVAC ductwork, electrical runs to lights, partial sprinkler system piping and sprinkler heads, window coverings and perimeter wall, core wall and column wrap drywall, which shall be valued in accordance with Lessor's schedule of values for such items which Lessor shall have prepared for the Building for use by Lessee and other tenants. Lessor shall be responsible for bringing all HVAC and other utilities to the Premises, without cost to the Lessee.

2.    Plans and Specifications.

2.1    Schematic Drawings. If the Schematic Drawings depicting the layout of the Premises and the location of the Lessee Improvements therein (the "Schematic Drawings") have already been prepared and approved by Lessor and Lessee prior to the full execution of this Lease (which includes this Agreement), then same shall be attached hereto as Exhibit "C-5") and made a part hereof. If the Schematic Drawings are not attached as Exhibit "C-5" hereto at the time this Lease is fully executed, then the following procedure shall be used to prepare and approve of the Schematic Drawings. No later than five (5) days following the full execution of this Lease, Lessee shall meet with the Architect and provide such information as is necessary or appropriate for the Architect to prepare the Schematic Drawings. Such Schematic Drawings, upon completion thereof (which in no event shall be more than thirty (30) days after the execution of this Lease), shall be submitted to Lessor and Lessee for approval. Within five (5) days after Lessee's receipt of such Schematic Drawings, Lessee shall notify Lessor and Architect of the changes, if any, which Lessee desires to make to such Schematic Drawings, which notice shall be in writing and shall identify with specificity the changes which Lessee desires to make and shall attach a copy of the Schematic Drawings initialed by Lessee and showing the desired changes (the "Lessee's Schematic Notice"). Within five (5) business days following Lessor's receipt of the Schematic Drawings and Lessee's Schematic Notice, Lessor shall either approve or disapprove thereof. If Lessor disapproves, Lessor shall specify in writing the changes which Lessor requires and the Schematic Drawings shall be revised by the Architect to reflect those changes described in Lessee's Schematic Notice which are not disapproved by Lessor and such other items needed to satisfy Lessor's objections thereto, all of which must also be approved by the Lessee. At Lessor's request, upon completion of the revised Schematic Drawings, Lessor and Lessee shall initial same, thereby acknowledging their approval of the form of such Schematic Drawings.

2.2    Final Plans. Upon completion of the Schematic Drawings as revised in accordance with Section 2.1 above, the Architect shall prepare final plans and specifications and working drawings, including engineered Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing drawings (collectively the "Final Plans") based upon and incorporating such Schematic Drawings as revised as provided hereinabove. Upon completion of the Final Plans, same shall be submitted to Lessor and Lessee for approval. If Lessor consents in writing thereto, such Final Plans may exclude certain finish specifications (such as, the color of paint or the color or design of wall or floor coverings) so long as such specifications are not needed in order to submit the Final Plans for Permits (as hereinafter defined) and so long as such specifications are delivered to Lessor for Lessor's approval thereof within thirty (30) days after delivery to Lessor of the Final Plans. Such finish specifications shall not be incorporated into the Lessee Improvements until same are approved by Lessor in writing. Within ten (10) days after Lessee's receipt of the Final Plans, Lessee shall notify Lessor and the Architect of the changes, if any, which Lessee desires to make to such Final Plans, which notice shall be in writing and shall identify with specificity the changes which Lessee desires to make and shall attach a copy of the Final Plans initialed by Lessee and showing the desired changes (the "Lessee's Final Notice"). Without Lessor's prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Lessee shall not change any portion of the Final Plans which incorporate the improvements depicted in the Schematic Drawings, as revised in accordance with Section 2.1 above, or which is a natural progression of such improvements. Within ten (10) business days, Lessor shall approve or disapprove thereof. If Lessor disapproves, Lessor shall identify in writing and with specificity the reason for Lessor's disapproval, and the Final Plans shall be revised by the Architect to reflect those changes described in Lessee's Final Notice which are not disapproved by Lessor and such other items needed to satisfy Lessor's objections thereto, all of which must also be approved by the Lessee. The improvements depicted on the Final Plans, as so revised, shall constitute the "Lessee Improvements." At Lessor's request, upon completion of the revised Final Plans, Lessor and Lessee shall initial same, thereby acknowledging their approval of the form of such Final Plans.

2.3    Standard of Review by Lessee. Lessee agrees that any material changes which it desires to make as set forth in Lessee's Schematic Notice and Lessee's Final Notice shall be reasonable and made in good faith.

30.    Amendment to These Rules

These rules may be unilaterally amended or revised by Lessor from time to time and Lessor shall give Lessee notice thereof.

The furnishing of building services and utilities to Lessee shall be accomplished in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Exhibit and elsewhere in this Lease. Lessor reserves the right to adopt from time to time such reasonable modifications and additions hereto as Lessor may deem appropriate.

1.    Subject to the full performance by Lessee of all of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, Lessor shall, during Normal Hours as set forth in Section 1.1 of this Lease ("Normal Hours"), provide the standard building services and utilities set forth in this Section 1. Lessor shall:

(a)    Provide automatic elevator facilities during all hours;

(b)    Provide to the Premises, during Normal Hours, heating, ventilating and air conditioning ("HVAC") required for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises for general office purposes (subject, however, to any governmental act, proclamation or regulation). Lessor shall not be responsible for any room temperatures if Lessee's lighting and receptacle loads exceed those listed in Section 1(c) of this Exhibit, or if the Premises are used for other than general office purposes. If the Premises have an open ceiling, or if Lessee shall request Lessor provide Lessee with Premises with a partial open ceiling rather than Premises with a suspended or drop ceiling, then Lessee acknowledges it will not require of Lessor any remediation or other maintenance and repair work that may be required should a failure of the HVAC mechanical systems and/or comfort level in the Premises occur because of such open ceiling, or any repair/remediation work if such configuration should impact lighting, noise or other comfort conditions of the Premises. Lessee further acknowledges and accepts all costs relative to insulation, encapsulation and relocation of any and all mechanical equipment in the plenum in order to provide an enhanced aesthetic appearance;

(c)    Provide to the Premises, during Normal Hours, electric current for routine lighting and the operation of general office machines such as typewriters, dictating equipment, desk model adding machines, photocopy machines and desk top computers incidental to the conduct of normal general office business, which use 110/220-volt electric power, not to exceed the reasonable capacity of Building Standard office lighting and receptacles, and not in excess of limits imposed by any governmental authority. Specifically, the requirement shall not exceed an average of 3 watts per usable square foot of the Premises. Lessee agrees, should its electrical installation or electrical consumption be in excess of the aforesaid use or extend beyond Normal Hours, to reimburse Lessor for the excess utilities as provided in Article 11 of this Lease;

(d)    Provide at all times reasonably necessary water for restrooms and other facilities, if any, furnished by Lessor in amounts in proportion to the size of the Premises relative to the Building; and

(e)    Provide janitorial services to the Premises each evening, Monday through Friday (except state and/or Federal holidays), provided the Premises are used exclusively in accordance with Section 1.1 and Article 6 of this Lease, and are kept reasonably in order by Lessee. Lessee shall pay to Lessor the cost of removal of any of Lessee's refuse and rubbish, to the extent that the same exceeds the refuse and rubbish usually attendant upon the use of the Premises for general office purposes. Said janitorial services, and said janitorial services shall be performed at Lessor's direction without interference by Lessee or Lessee's Employees.

2.    Lessor shall only have the obligation to replace Building Standard fluorescent light bulbs, tubes and ballasts in the Premises throughout the Term. Only fluorescent, LED, and halogen lighting shall be permitted in the Premises. The Lessor may, at Lessor's sole discretion, adopt a system of periodic relamping and reballasting the Building Standard fluorescent fixtures on a group basis in accordance with good practice, but shall have no obligation to replace, repair, maintain, service or otherwise perform any work on any light fixtures in the Premises other than Lessor's Building Standard fluorescent fixtures. Lessee shall be solely responsible for the replacement, repair, maintenance and service, including all costs thereof relating to any lighting fixtures in the Premises which are not the Building Standard fixtures.

3.    No electrical equipment, air conditioning or heating units, or plumbing additions shall be installed, nor shall any changes to the Building's HVAC, electrical or plumbing systems be made without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall be subject to Lessor's sole and absolute discretion. In the event any changes or additions are requested and provided, then Lessee understands and agrees to maintain and/or repair the equipment and/or additions installed. Lessor reserves the right to designate and/or approve the contractor to be used by Lessee. Any permitted installations shall be made under Lessor's supervision. Lessee shall pay any additional cost on account of any increased support to the floor load or additional equipment required for such installation, and such installations shall otherwise be made in accordance with Section 7.2 of this Lease.

4.    Lessor shall not provide in the Premises, reception outlets or television or radio antennas for television or radio broadcast or reception, and Lessee shall not install any such equipment without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

5.    Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of Lessor, use any apparatus, machine or device in the Premises, which will in any way increase the amount of electricity or water usually furnished or supplied for use of the Premises as general office space, nor connect with electric current, except through existing outlets in the Premises, any apparatus or device for the purpose of using electric current in excess of that usually furnished or supplied for use of the Premises as general office space.

6.    Lessee shall separately arrange with the applicable local public authorities, utility companies and telephone companies, as the case may be, for the furnishing of, and payment of, all telephone services as may be required by Lessee in the use of the Premises; provided, however, that Lessee shall neither bear the cost of nor be responsible for installation of the telephone wiring stubbed to the telephone room. Lessee shall directly pay for such telephone services, including the establishment and connection thereof, at the rates charged for such services by said authority, telephone company or utility, and the failure of Lessee to obtain or to continue to receive such services for any reason whatsoever shall not relieve Lessee of any of its obligations under this Lease nor constitute a breach of this Lease by Lessor.

7.    Lessee agrees to cooperate fully at all times with Lessor to assure, and to abide by all regulations and requirements which Lessor may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the Building's HVAC, electrical, security (if any) and plumbing systems.

8.    Lessor shall provide to the Lessee at the time of Lessee's move-in a minimum of two (2) sets of keys to the Lessee's suite regardless of the size of the suite. A set of keys shall consist of one key for the entrance door to the suite and one key for the entrance door to the Building. In addition to the initial two (2) sets of keys the Lessor shall provide, as a standard allowance, one (1) set of keys per 1,000 usable square feet of the Premises. The costs of such keys shall be part of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, if there is one. All keys and locksmith charges for any other work (extra keys, interior suite door keys, or rekeying any lock in the suite after the move-in) shall be charged to the Lessee as an additional service.

1.    The sidewalks, entrances, exits, passages, parking areas, courts, elevators, vestibules, stairways corridors, terraces, lobbies or halls shall not be obstructed or used for any purpose other than ingress and egress. The halls, passages, entrances, exits, elevators and stairways are not for the use of the general public, and Lessor shall retain the right to control and prevent access thereto of all persons whose presence, in the judgment of Lessor, is deemed to be prejudicial to the safety, character, reputation and interests of the Building and its tenants. No tenant shall go up on the roof of the Building.

2.    No curtains, blinds, shades or screens shall be attached to or hung in, or used in connection with, any window of the Premises other than Lessor's standard window covering; without Lessor's prior written consent. No electric ceiling fixtures, other than those installed by Lessor are permitted. Neither the interior nor exterior of any windows shall be coated or otherwise sunscreened without the prior written consent of Lessor.

In the event of the violation of the foregoing by any tenant, Lessor may remove same without any liability, and may charge the expense incurred in such removal to the tenant violating this rule. Interior signs on doors shall be inscribed, painted or affixed for each tenant by the Lessor at such tenant's expense, and shall be of a size, color and style acceptable to the Lessor. Nothing may be placed on the exterior of corridor walls or corridor doors other than Lessor's building standard sign on the corridor door, applied and installed by Lessor.

4.    Lessee shall not, and Lessee shall not permit Lessee’s Employees to (a) drill into, or in any way deface any part of the Premises, Building, or Property, or (b) affix any fixture, overhead bin or furniture to any wall without proper reinforcement, as determined in advance by a structural engineer. No boring, cutting or stringing of wires or any floor coverings shall be permitted, except with the prior written consent of the Lessor.

8.    Lessor (and its operator) may refuse to permit any person who violates the within rules to park in the parking area, and any violation of the rules shall subject the automobile to removal from the parking area at the parker's expense.

This Rider No. One for OPTION TO EXTEND (“Rider”) is attached and made a part of that certain Lease between The Plaza CP LLC, a California limited liability company (“Lessor”), and A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc., a California corporation (“Lessee”), which Lease is dated July 7, 2016 (“Lease”). Lessor and Lessee hereby agree that the following shall be included as part of said Lease:

1.    Grant of Option. Lessee is hereby granted an option (sometimes called the "Renewal Option") to extend the Term of the Lease upon all of the provisions contained in the Lease, except for Base Rental and for this Extended Term Rider, for a period of five (5) years (the "Option Term"). Such option shall be irrevocably exercised only by Lessee delivering written notice to Lessor of such exercise of such option ("Option Notice") at least two hundred seventy (270) days, but not more than one hundred eighty (180) days before the expiration of the initial Term. The title of the Option Notice shall be “NOTICE OF OPTION TO EXTEND TERM.” No waiver by Lessor to Lessee’s obligation to provide the Option Notice, in accordance with all of the terms and conditions stated above, shall be valid unless the same is specifically set forth in a writing signed by Lessor entitled “LESSOR’S WAIVER TO LESSEE’S OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE THE OPTION NOTICE.” Reference to the "Term" of the Lease as used in the Lease shall include the Option Term in the event the Renewal Option is exercised in accordance herewith. Lessee shall have no other right to extend the Term except as set forth in this section.

2.    Base Rental During Option Term. In the event Lessee exercises its option to extend the Term of the Lease, as permitted herein, then the Base Rental for the Option Term shall be at the then current market value of comparable space within Continental Park, which shall be determined as hereinafter provided. Additionally, and notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary throughout the Option Term, Lessee and Lessee's Employees shall pay the charges for parking in the Parking Facilities as are then in effect from time to time. The Base Rental for the Option Term shall be determined as follows:

(a)    Within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Lessor of Lessee's Option Notice, Lessor shall deliver written notice (the "Lessor's Notice") to Lessee advising Lessee of Lessor's opinion of the fair market rental value (the "Value") of the Premises;

(b)    If Lessor's opinion of the Value of the Premises is acceptable to Lessee, then Lessee shall so notify Lessor in writing within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Lessee of Lessor's Notice, and the Lease shall, thereafter, be extended for the Option Term;

(c)    In the event Lessee challenges Lessor's opinion of the Value of the Premises, Lessee shall deliver written notice thereof (the "Lessee's Notice") to Lessor within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Lessee of Lessor's Notice. In such Lessee's Notice, Lessee shall also advise Lessor of Lessee's opinion of the Value of the Premises. If Lessee fails to deliver Lessee's Notice to Lessor containing the required information within such fifteen (15) day time period, then same shall be considered as Lessee's acceptance of Lessor's Opinion of the Value of the Premises. If Lessee timely delivers the Lessee's Notice, and if Lessor and Lessee cannot agree upon the Value of the Premises within fifteen (15) days after Lessor's receipt of Lessee's Notice, then the Value of the Premises shall be determined by appraisal in accordance with this Rider. All costs of such appraisal shall be paid by Lessee.

3.    Determination of Value by Appraiser. Lessor and Lessee shall appoint a mutually acceptable MAI appraiser with at least five (5) years’ experience in valuing office buildings within the general area of the Premises to also determine whether Lessor's or Lessee's opinion of the Value is more accurate. The decision of the appraiser shall be binding on both of the Parties hereto. The Value of the Premises as determined herein shall be the Base Rental for the Premises for the first year of the Option Term, which Base Rental shall be subject to increase each year thereafter, if any, as provided hereinabove. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the total of the Base Rental and Operating Expense Adjustment for the first month of the Option Term be less than the total of the Base Rental for the last full calendar month preceding the first month of the Option Term. Lessee shall receive a new base year for Operating Expenses during the Option Term. Lessee shall pay to Lessor as additional Rent the sum of five cents ($0.05) per Rentable Square Foot of Premises per month beginning on the first (1st) day of the thirteenth (13th) full calendar month of the Option Term and increasing by five cents ($0.05) per Rentable Square Foot of Premises per month annually thereafter throughout the balance of the Option Term. Such amount shall be added to the amount of Base Rental payable hereunder.

4.    Definition of Value of the Premises. The Value of the Premises shall be determined based upon rentals then being charged for other renewal space similarly situated and within Class A buildings located in the El Segundo/Manhattan Beach market of equivalent condition and amenities as the Building and the Property, taking into account the size, location, floor level, the length of the term of the Option Term, the extent of services to be provided, and any other relevant terms and conditions, but, in each instance, including "tenant concessions," if any, then being offered to prospective new tenants in the Building or comparable buildings. The term "tenant concessions" shall include, without limitation, so-called free rent, half rent or other reduced rent, free parking or reduced parking charges, load factor for rentable area of the Premises that is lower than that calculated in accordance with BOMA, tenant improvements, etc. All Base Rental payable during the Option Term shall be payable in the same manner and under the same terms and conditions as Base Rental is paid during the Initial Term. In no event shall Lessor be obligated to construct any additional improvements within or about the Premises in connection with Lessee's exercise of such option.

5.    Payment of Base Rental. During the period of time the Parties are determining the Value of the Premises, if such period extends beyond the scheduled expiration of the Initial Term, Lessee shall pay Lessor, as Base Rental, the amount which would be payable under Section 22.1 of the Lease if Lessee had held over possession of the Premises with Lessor's consent, but had not exercised the Renewal Option. If the monthly Base Rental for the first year of the Option Term, as determined herein, is different than the amount paid by Lessee as Base Rental during the period of time following the end of the Initial Term of the Lease, then an adjustment shall be made effective as of the commencement of the Option Term, and one Party shall pay the other Party, within ten (10) days following the determination of the Base Rental for the first year of the Option Term, an amount sufficient to reconcile the amount so paid by Lessee as Base Rental as compared with the actual amount of Base Rental due.

6.    Option Personal. The option granted to Lessee herein is personal to Lessee and may not be exercised or assigned voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than the original Lessee. The option herein granted to Lessee is not assignable separate and apart from the Lease. In the event that at the time this Option is exercisable by Lessee, the Lease has been assigned, or a sublease exists as to twenty percent (20%) or more of the Premises, this Option shall automatically terminate and become null and void and Lessee, any assignee, or any sublessee, shall not have the right to exercise the Renewal Option.

7.    Effect Of Default On Option.

(a)    Lessee shall have no right to exercise the Renewal Option, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, (i) during the time commencing from the date Lessor gives to Lessee a notice of default pursuant to Section 17.1 of the Lease and continuing until the default alleged in said notice of default is cured, (ii) during the period of time commencing on the date after a monetary obligation to Lessor is due from Lessee and unpaid (without any necessity for notice thereof to Lessee) and continuing until the obligation is paid, (iii) at any time after an event of default described in Sections 17.1(c) or (d) of the Lease (without any necessity for notice thereof to Lessee), or (iv) in the event that Lessor has given to Lessee three or more notices of default during the twelve (12) month period prior to the time that Lessee exercises such option.

(b)    The period of time within which such option may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Lessee's inability to exercise such option.

(c)All rights of Lessee under the provisions of such option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, notwithstanding Lessee's due and timely exercise of such option, if, after such exercise, (i) Lessee fails to pay to Lessor a monetary obligation of Lessee for a period of ten (10) days after such obligation becomes due (without any necessity for notice thereof to Lessee), (ii) Lessee fails to commence to cure a default specified in Section 17.1(b) of the Lease within fifteen (15) days after the date that Lessor gives notice to Lessee of such default and/or Lessee fails thereafter to diligently prosecute said cure to completion within the applicable period, (iii) Lessee commits a default described in Sections 17.1(c) or (d) of the Lease without any necessity of Lessor to give notice thereof to Lessee, or (iv) Lessor gives to Lessee three or more notices of default for the same type of default during the period commencing twelve (12) months prior to the exercise of the Renewal Option and continuing through the date of the commencement of the Option Term, whether or not the defaults are cured.

8.    Option Revoked Through Lease Amendment. In the event the Parties should execute an amendment to the Lease that would extend or reduce, in any manner whatsoever, the Term of the Lease, then the grant to Lessee of this "Option to Extend" shall automatically be revoked and withdrawn, with no further notice to Lessee, unless agreed by the Parties to the contrary in the amendment to be executed by the Parties (which documents must set forth, in detail, the terms and conditions upon which Lessor grants Lessee rights to extend the lease).

9.    Miscellaneous. Lessor and Lessee shall execute and deliver appropriate documentation to evidence any renewal of the Lease and the terms and conditions of the Lease during the Option Term. All terms used herein shall have the same meanings as used in the Lease. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Lease and those of this Rider, the terms of this Rider shall control. Except as hereinabove provided, said Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
