     2.1 DEMISE OF LEASED PREMISES

     Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord for Tenant’s own use in the conduct of Tenant’s business and not for purposes of speculating in real estate, for the Lease Term and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Lease, that certain interior space described in Article I as the Leased Premises, reserving and excepting to Landlord the exclusive right to all profits to be derived from any assignments or sublettings by Tenant during the Lease Term by reason of the appreciation in the fair market rental value of the Leased Premises. Landlord further reserves the right to install, maintain, use and replace ducts, wires, conduits and pipes leading through the Leased Premises in locations, which will not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Lease Premises. Tenant’s Lease of the Leased Premises, together with the appurtenant right to use the Common Areas as described in Paragraph 2.2 below, shall be conditioned upon and be subject to the continuing compliance by Tenant with (I) all the terms and conditions of this Lease, (ii) all Laws governing the use of the Leased Premises and the Project, (iii) all Private Restrictions, easements and other matters now of public record respecting the use of the Leased Premises and the Project, and (iv) all reasonable rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord.

     2.2 RIGHT TO USE COMMON AREAS

     As an appurtenant right to Tenant’s right to the use of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the Common Areas in conjunction with other tenants of the Project and their invitees, subject to the limitations on such use as set forth in Article 4, and solely for the purposes for which they were designed and intended. Tenant’s right to use the Common Areas shall terminate concurrently with any termination of this Lease.

     2.3 LEASE COMMENCEMENT DATE AND LEASE TERM

     The term of this Lease shall begin, and the Lease Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred, on the Intended Commencement Date (as set forth in Article I) unless either (i) Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant on the Intended Commencement Date, in which case the Lease Commencement Date shall be determined pursuant to Paragraph 2.4 below or (ii) Tenant enters into possession of the Leased Premises prior to the Intended Commencement Date, in which case the Lease Commencement Date shall be as determined pursuant to Paragraph 2.7 below (the “Lease Commencement Date”). The term of this Lease shall end on the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article I), irrespective of whatever date the Lease Commencement Date is determined to be pursuant to the foregoing sentence. The Lease Term shall be that period of time commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and ending on the Lease Expiration Date (the “Lease Term”), unless Tenant chooses to exercise either the first and/or second of its options to extend the Lease Expiration Date for a period of one (1) year each.

     2.4 DELIVERY OF POSSESSION

     Landlord shall deliver to Tenant possession of the Leased Premises on or before the Intended Commencement Date (as set forth in Article I) in their presently existing condition, broom clean,

unless Landlord shall have agreed, as a condition to Tenant’s obligation to accept possession of the Leased Premises, pursuant to an Addenda attached to and made a part of this Lease to modify existing interior improvements or to make, construct and/or install additional specified improvements within the Leased Premises, in which case Landlord shall deliver to Tenant possession of the Leased Premises on or before the Intended Commencement Date as so modified and/or improved. If Landlord is unable to so deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant on or before the Intended Commencement Date, for whatever reason, Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease, nor shall this Lease be void, voidable or cancelable by Tenant until the lapse of one hundred twenty days after the Intended Commencement Date (the “delivery grace period”); however, the Lease Commencement Date shall not be deemed to have occurred until such date as Landlord notifies Tenant that the Leased Premises are Ready for Occupancy. Additionally, the delivery grace period above set forth shall be extended for such number of days as Landlord may be delayed in delivering possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant by reason of Force Majeure or the actions of Tenant. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant within the described delivery grace period (including any extensions thereof by reason of Force Majeure or the actions of the Tenant), then Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to cancel and terminate this Lease, and in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for such delay. Tenant may not cancel this Lease at any time after the Landlord notifies Tenant the Leased Premises are Ready for Occupancy.

     2.5 ACCEPTANCE OF POSSESSION

     Tenant acknowledges that it has inspected the Leased Premises and is willing to accept them in their existing condition, broom clean, unless Landlord shall have agreed, as a condition to Tenant’s obligation to accept possession of the Leased Premises, pursuant to an Addenda attached to and made a part of this Lease to modify existing interior improvements or to make construction and/or install additional specified improvements within the Leased premises, in which case Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Leased Premises when Landlord has substantially completed such modifications or improvements and the Leased Premises are Ready for Occupancy. If Landlord shall have so modified existing improvements or constructed additional improvements within the Leased Premises for Tenant, Tenant shall, within Tenant’s Punch list Period (as set forth in Article I) which shall commence on the date that Landlord notifies Tenant that the Leased Premises are Ready for Occupancy, submit to Landlord a punch list of all incomplete and/or improper work performed by Landlord. Upon the expiration of Tenant’s Punch list Period, Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted the Leased Premises in their then-existing condition as so delivered by Landlord to Tenant, except as to those items reasonably set forth in the punch list submitted to Landlord prior to the expiration of said period. Landlord agrees to correct all items reasonably set forth in Tenant’s Punch list, provided that such punch list was submitted to Landlord within Tenant’s Punch list Period. Additionally, Landlord agrees to place in good working order all existing plumbing, lighting, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems within the Leased Premises and all man doors and roll-up truck doors serving the Leased Premises to the extent that such systems and/or items are not in good operating condition as of the date Tenant accepts possession of the Leased Premises; provided that, and only if, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of such failures or deficiencies within five business days from the date Tenant so accepts possession of the Lease Premises.

     2.6 SURRENDER OF POSSESSION

     Immediately prior to the expiration or upon the sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s signs from the exterior of the Building and shall remove all of Tenant’s equipment, trade fixtures, furniture, supplies, wall decorations and other personal property from the Leased Premises, and shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord in the same condition, broom clean, as existed at the Lease Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Leased Premises caused by Tenant’s removal of Tenant’s property and all damage to the exterior of the building caused by Tenant’s removal of Tenant’s signs. Tenant shall patch and refinish, to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, all penetrations made by Tenant or its employees to the floor, walls or ceiling of the Leased Premises, whether such penetrations were made with Landlord’s approval or not. Tenant shall repair or replace all stained or damaged ceiling tiles, wall coverings and floor coverings to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant shall repair all damage caused by Tenant to the exterior surface of the Building and the paved surfaces of the outside areas adjoining the Leased Premises and, where necessary, replace or resurface the same. Additionally, Tenant shall, prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, remove any improvements constructed or installed by Tenant which Landlord requests be so removed by Tenant and repair all damage caused by such removal. If the Leased Premises are not surrendered to Landlord in the condition required by this Paragraph at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Landlord may, at Tenant’s expense, so remove Tenant’s signs, property and/or improvements not so removed and make such repairs and replacements not so made or hire, at Tenant’s expense, independent contractors to perform such work. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord all costs incurred by Landlord in returning the Leased Premises to the required condition, plus interest on all costs incurred from the date paid by Landlord at the then maximum rate of interest not prohibited by Law until paid, payable by Tenant to Landlord within ten days after receipt of a statement therefore from Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant or any losses to Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease to succeeding tenants.

     2.7 EARLY OCCUPANCY

     If Tenant enters into possession of the Leased Premises prior to the Intended Commencement Date (or permits its contractors to enter the Leased Premises prior to the Intended Commencement Date), unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord, the Lease Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred on such sooner date, and Tenant shall be obligated to perform all its obligations under this Lease, including the obligation to pay rent, from that sooner date.

ARTICLE 3: RENT, LATE CHARGES AND SECURITY DEPOSITS

     3.1 BASE MONTHLY RENT

     Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date (as determined pursuant to Paragraph 2.3 above) and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without prior demand therefore, in advance on the first day of each calendar month, as base monthly rent, the amount set forth as “Base Monthly Rent” in Article I (the “Base Monthly Rent”).

     3.2 ADDITIONAL RENT

     Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date (as determined pursuant to Paragraph 2.3 above) and continuing throughout the Lease Term, in addition to the Base Monthly Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent (the “Additional Rent”) the following amounts:

          A. Tenant’s Proportionate share of all Project Maintenance Costs. Landlord may bill Tenant, on a periodic basis not more frequently than monthly, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such costs as paid or incurred by Landlord, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord such share of such costs together with an accounting fee equal to five percent of the amount so billed within ten days from the date Landlord shall have billed Tenant for same.

          B. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Landlord’s Insurance Costs and Real Property Taxes plus an accounting fee equal to five percent of such amount. Payment shall be made by whichever of the following methods is from time to time designated by Landlord:

               (1) Landlord may bill to tenant, on a periodic basis not more frequently than monthly, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Landlord’s Insurance Costs or Real Property Taxes, as paid or incurred by Landlord during the current period together with an accounting fee equal to five percent of the amount billed, within ten days after receipt of a written bill therefore from Landlord; or

               (2) Landlord may deliver to Tenant Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Landlord’s Insurance Costs and/or Real Property Taxes it anticipates will be paid or incurred for the ensuring calendar or fiscal year, as the case requires, and Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share for such year, together with an accounting fee equal to five percent of the estimated amount, in equal monthly installments during such year with the installments of Base Monthly Rent. Landlord reserves the right to change from time to time the method of billing Tenants its Proportionate Share or the periodic basis on which such increases are billed.

          C. Landlord’s share of the consideration received by Tenant upon certain assignments and sublettings as required by Article 7;

          D. Any legal fees and costs that Tenant is obligated to pay or reimburse to Landlord pursuant to Article 13; and

          E. Any other charges or reimbursements due Landlord from Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

     3.3 YEAR-END ADJUSTMENTS

     If Landlord shall have elected to charge Tenant its Proportionate Share of Landlord’s Insurance Costs and/or Real Property Taxes on an estimated basis in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 3.2B(2) above, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant within three months following the end of the applicable calendar or fiscal year, as the case may be, a statement setting forth (i) the amount of Landlord’s Insurance Costs and/or Real Property Taxes paid or incurred during the just ended calendar or fiscal year, as appropriate, (ii) the amount of Landlord’s Insurance Costs and/or Real Property Taxes paid during the applicable Base Year, and (iii) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Landlord’s Insurance Costs and/or Real Property taxes for the just ended fiscal or calendar year, as appropriate. If Tenant shall have paid more than its Proportionate Share for the previous year, Landlord shall, at its election, either (i) credit the amount of such overpayment toward the next ensuing payment or payments of Additional Rent that would otherwise be due or (ii) refund in cash to Tenant the amount of such overpayment. If such year-end statements shall show that Tenant did not pay its Proportionate Share in full, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such underpayment, together with the accounting fee applicable thereto, within ten days from Landlord’s billing of same to Tenant. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

     3.4 LATE CHARGE AND INTEREST ON RENT IN DEFAULT

     Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant of any monthly installment of Base Monthly Rent or any Additional Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, the exact amounts of which are extremely difficult or impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will include, without limitation, administration and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses. Therefore, if any installment of base Monthly Rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant within six calendar days after the same becomes due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to the amount set forth in Article I as the “Late Charge Amount”, and if any Additional Rent is not received by Landlord within six calendar days after same becomes due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to ten percent of the Additional Rent not so paid. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for its loss suffered by reason of Tenant’s failure to make timely payment. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to pay any rental installment or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay each rental installment due under this Lease when due, including the right to terminate this Lease. If any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of six calendar days, then, in addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any rent that is not so paid from said sixth day at the then maximum rate of interest not prohibited by Law until paid.

     3.5 PAYMENT OF RENT

     All rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, deduction of offset for any reason whatsoever, to Landlord at such address as Landlord may designate from time to time. Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent shall be prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term. The failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Rent as required pursuant to this Lease when due shall be treated the same as a failure by Tenant to pay Base Monthly Rent when due, and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant as Landlord would have if Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly rent when due.

     3.6 PREPAID RENT

     Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount set forth in Article I as “First Month’s Prepaid Rent” as prepayment of rent for credit against the first installment(s) of Base Monthly Rent due hereunder. Additionally, Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount set forth in Article I as “Last Month’s Prepaid Rent” as prepayment of rent for credit against the last installment(s) of Base Monthly Rent due hereunder, subject, however, to the provisions of Paragraph 3.7 below.

     3.7 SECURITY DEPOSIT

     Tenant has deposited with Landlord the amount set forth in Article I as the “Security Deposit” as security for the performance by Tenant of the terms of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, and

not as prepayment of rent. Landlord may apply such portion or portions of the Security Deposit as are reasonably necessary for the following purposes: (i) to remedy any default by Tenant in the payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent or a late charge or interest on defaulted rent; (ii) to repair damage to the Leased Premises caused by Tenant; (iii) to clean and repair the Leased Premises following their surrender to Landlord if not surrendered in the condition required pursuant to the provisions of Article 2; and (iv) to remedy any other default of Tenant to the extent permitted by Law including, without limitation, paying in full on Tenant’s behalf any sums claimed by material men or contractors of Tenant to be owing to them by Tenant for work done or improvements made at Tenant’s request to the Leased Premises. In this regard, Tenant hereby waives any restriction on the uses to which the Security Deposit may be applied as contained in Section 1950.7(c) of the California Civil Code and/or any successor statute. In the event the Security Deposit or any portion thereof is so used, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, promptly upon demand, an amount in cash sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full original sum. If Tenant fails to promptly restore the Security Deposit and if Tenant shall have paid to Landlord any sums and “Last Month’s Prepaid Rent”, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedy Landlord may have under this Lease, reduce the amount of Tenant’s Last Month’s Prepaid Rent by transferring all or portions of such Last Month’s Prepaid Rent to Tenant’s Security Deposit until such Security Deposit is restored to the amount set forth in Article I. Landlord shall not be deemed a trustee of the Security Deposit. Landlord may use the Security Deposit in Landlord’s ordinary business and shall not be required to segregate it from its general accounts. Tenants shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. If Landlord transfer the Building during the Lease Term, Landlord may pay the Security Deposit to any subsequent owner in conformity with the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and/or any successor statute, in which event the transferring Landlord shall be released from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Tenant specifically grants to Landlord (and hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1950.7 to the contrary) a period of sixty days following a surrender of the Leased Premises by Tenant to Landlord within which to restore the Security Deposit (less permitted deductions) to Tenant, it being agreed between Landlord and Tenant that sixty days is a reasonable period of time within which to inspect the Leased Premises, make required repairs, receive and verify workmen’s billings therefore, and prepare a final accounting with respect to such deposit. In no event shall the Security Deposit or any portion thereof, be considered prepaid rent.

ARTICLE 4: USE OF LEASED PREMISE AND COMMON AREAS

     4.1 PERMITTED USE

     Tenant shall be entitled to use the Leased Premises solely for the “Permitted Use” as set forth in Article I and for no other purpose whatsoever. Tenant shall continuously and without interruption use the Leased Premises for such purpose for the entire Lease Term. Any discontinuance of such use for a period of thirty consecutive calendar days shall be, at Landlord’s election, a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 4, Tenant shall have the right to use the Common Area, in conjunction with other tenants and during normal business hours, solely for the purposes for which they were intended and for no other purposes whatsoever. Tenant shall not have the right to use the exterior surfaces of exterior walls, the area beneath the floor or the area above the ceiling of the Leased Premises.

     4.2 GENERAL LIMITATIONS ON USE

Tenant shall not operate any equipment within the Leased Premises which does or could (i) injure, vibrate or shake the Leased Premises or the Building, (ii) damage, overload or impair the efficient operation of any electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating or air conditioning systems within or servicing the Leased Premises or the Building or (iii) damage or impair the efficient operation of the sprinkler system (if any) within or servicing the Leased Premises or the Building. Tenant shall not install any equipment or antennas on or make any penetrations of the exterior walls or roof of the Building. Tenant shall not affix any equipment to or make any penetrations or cuts in the floor, ceiling or walls of the Leased Premises. Tenant shall not place any loads upon the floors, walls, ceiling or roof systems, which could endanger the structural integrity of the Building or damage its floors, foundations or supporting structural components. Tenants shall not place any explosive, flammable or harmful fluids or other waste materials in the drainage systems of the Building or the Project. Tenant shall not drain or discharge any fluids in the landscaped areas or across the paved areas of the Project. Tenant shall not use any area located outside the Leased Premises for the storage of its materials, supplies, inventory or equipment, and all such materials, supplies, inventory and equipment shall at all times be stored within the Leased Premises. Tenant shall not commit or permit to be committed any waste in or about the Leased Premises, the Common Areas or the Project.

     4.3 NOISE AND EMISSIONS

     All noise generated by Tenant in its use of the Leased Premises shall be confined or muffled so that it does not interfere with the business of or annoy other tenants of the Building or the Project. All dust, fumes, odors and other emissions generated by Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises shall be sufficiently dissipated in accordance with sound environmental practices and exhausted from the Leased Premises in such a manner so as not to interfere with the business of or annoy other tenants of the Building or the Project, or cause any damage to the Leased Premises or the Building or any component part thereof or the property of other tenants of the Building or the Project.

          A. Tenant’s Obligation: Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease Term at its sole cost and expense, regularly clean and continuously keep and maintain in good order, condition and repair the Leased Premises and every part thereof and all appurtenances thereto, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) all interior walls, floor and ceilings, (ii) all windows, doors and skylights, (iii) all electrical wiring, conduits, connectors and fixtures, (iv) all plumbing, pipes, sinks, toilets, faucets and drains, (v) all lighting fixtures, bulbs, and lamps, (vi) all heating, ventilating and air conditions equipment located within the Leased Premises or located outside the Leased Premises (e.g. rooftop compressors) and serving the Leased Premises (other than Common Area HVAC as defined in Subparagraph B below), and (vii) all entranceways to the Leased Premises. Tenant, if requested to do so by Landlord, shall hire, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a licensed heating, ventilating and air conditioning contractor to regularly and periodically inspect (not less frequently than every three months) and perform required maintenance on the heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and systems serving the Leased Premises, or alternatively, Landlord may, at its election, contract in its own name for such regular and periodic inspections of and maintenance on such heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and systems and charge to Tenant, as Additional Rent, the cost thereof. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair all damage to the Building, the Common Areas or the Project caused by the activities of Tenant, its employees, invitees or contractors promptly following written notice from Landlord to so repair such damage. If Tenant shall fail to perform the required maintenance or fail to make repairs required of it pursuant to this Paragraph within a reasonable period of time following notice from Landlord to do so, then Landlord may, at its election and without waiving any other remedy it may otherwise have under this Lease or at Law, perform such maintenance or make such repairs and charge to Tenant, as Additional Rent, the costs so incurred by Landlord for same.

incurred by Landlord in purchasing and installing such meter and thereafter all costs incurred by Landlord in maintaining said meter.

Any attempted subletting, assignment or encumbrance without Landlord’s prior written consent, which should not be unreasonably withheld, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person or entity other than Tenant, or the acceptance of rent by Landlord from Tenant with knowledge of a violation of the provisions of this Paragraph, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Article or this Lease or to be a consent to any subletting by Tenant or any assignment

     7.5 ASSIGNMENT CONSIDERATION AND EXCESS RENTAL DEFINED

     For purposes of this Article, the term “assignment consideration” shall mean all consideration to be paid by the assignee to Tenant or to any other on Tenant’s behalf or for Tenant’s benefit as consideration for such assignment, less any commissions paid by Tenant to a licensed real estate broker for arranging such assignment (not to exceed then standard rates), and the term “excess rentals” shall mean all consideration to be paid by the sublessee to Tenant or to any other on Tenant’s behalf or for Tenant’s benefit for the sublease of the Leased Premises in excess of the rent due Landlord under the terms of this Lease for the same period, less any commissions paid by Tenant to a licensed real estate broker for arranging such sublease (not to exceed then standard rates).

If Tenant shall breach this Covenant of Good Faith, Landlord may immediately declare Tenant to be in default under the terms of this Lease and terminate this Lease and/or exercise any other rights and remedies Landlord would have under the terms of this Lease in the case of a material default by Tenant under this Lease.

     7.8 EFFECT OF LANDLORD’S CONSENT

     No subletting, assignment or encumbrance, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Consent by Landlord to one or more assignments or encumbrances of Tenant’s interest in this Lease to one or more sublettings of the Leased Premises shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, encumbrance or subletting. If Landlord shall have been ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to consent to a requested assignment or subletting, or such and assignment or subletting shall have been ordered over the objection of Landlord, such assignment or subletting shall not be binding between the assignee (or sublessee) and Landlord until such time as all conditions set forth in Paragraph 7.4 above have been fully satisfied (to the extent not then satisfied) by the assignee or sublessee, including, without limitation, the payment to Landlord of all agreed assignment considerations and/or excess rentals then due Landlord.

In this regard, Tenant acknowledges that it is fully apprised of the

provisions of Law relating to releases, and particularly to those provisions contained in Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect in his favor at the time of executing this release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

     Notwithstanding such statutory provision, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge, Tenant hereby (i) waives the benefit of such statutory provision and (ii) acknowledges that, subject to the exceptions specifically set forth herein, the release and discharge set forth in this Paragraph is a full and complete settlement and release and discharge of all claims and is intended to include in its effect, without limitation, all claims which Tenant, as of the date hereof, does not know of or suspect to exist in its favor.

     Tenant shall defend, with competent counsel satisfactory to Landlord, any claims made or legal actions filed or threatened by third parties against Landlord with respect to the death, bodily injury, personal injury, damage to property or interference with contractual or other rights suffered by any third party (including other tenants within the Project) which (i) occurred within the Leased Premises or (ii) resulted from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises or the Common Area or (iii) resulted from Tenant’s activities in or about the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord, Landlord’s principals, employees and agents harmless from any loss (including loss of rents by reason of vacant space which otherwise would have been leased but for such activities), liability, penalties, or expense whatsoever (including any legal fees incurred by Landlord with respect to defending such claims) resulting therefrom, except to the extent proximately caused by the active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. This indemnity agreement shall survive until the latter to occur of (i) the date of the expiration, or sooner termination, of this Lease, or (ii) the date Tenant actually vacates the Leased Premises.

ARTICLE 9: INSURANCE

     9.1 TENANT’S INSURANCE

     Tenant shall maintain insurance complying with all of the following:

          A. Tenant shall procure, pay for and keep in full force and effect, at all times during the Lease Term, the following:

               (1) Comprehensive general liability insurance insuring Tenant against liability for personal injury, death and damage to property occurring within the Leased Premises, or resulting from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises or the Common Areas, or resulting from Tenant’s activities in or about the Leased Premises, with combined single limit coverage of not less than the amount of Tenant’s Required Liability Coverage (as set forth in Article I), which insurance shall contain a “broad form liability” endorsement insuring Tenant’s performance of Tenant’s obligation in indemnifying Landlord as contained in Article 8.2.

               (2) Fire and property damage insurance or “fire and extended coverage” insuring Tenant against loss from physical damage to Tenant’s personal property, inventory, trade fixtures and improvements within the Leased Premises with coverage for the full actual replacement cost thereof;

               (3) Plate-glass insurance, at actual replacement cost;

               (4) Pressure vessel insurance, if applicable;

               (5) Product Liability insurance (including, without limitation, if food and/or beverages are distributed, sold and/or consumed within the Leased Premises, to the extent obtainable, coverage for liability arising out of the distribution, sale or consumption of food and/or beverages [including alcoholic beverages, if applicable] at the Leased Premises) for not less than Tenant’s Required Liability Coverage (as set forth in Article 1);

               (6) Worker’s compensation insurance and any other employee benefit insurance sufficient to comply with all Laws; and

               (7) With respect to making of alterations or the construction of improvements or the like undertaken by Tenant, contingent liability and builder’s risk insurance, in an amount and with coverage satisfactory to Landlord.

          B. Each policy of liability insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph or actually carried by Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises (i) shall, except with respect to insurance required by Subparagraph A(6) above, name Landlord, and such others as are designated by Landlord, as additional insured; (ii) shall be primary insurance providing that the insurer shall be liable for the full amounts of the loss, up to and including the total amount of liability set forth in the declaration of coverage, with the right of contribution from or prior payment by any other insurance coverage of Landlord; (iii) shall be in a form satisfactory to Landlord; (iv) shall be carried with companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord; (v) shall provide that such policy shall not be subject to cancellation, lapse or change except after at least thirty days prior written notice to Landlord; and (vi) shall contain a so-called “severability” or “cross liability” endorsement. Each policy of property insurance maintained by Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises or any property therein (i) shall provide that such policy shall not be subject to cancellation, lapse or change except after at least thirty days prior written notice to Landlord and (ii) shall contain a waiver and/or a permission to waive by the insurer of any right of subrogation against Landlord, its principals, employees, agents and contractors, which might arise by reason of any payment under such policy or by reason of any act or omission of Landlord, its principals, employees, agents or contractors.

          C. Prior to the time Tenant or any of its contractors enters the Leased Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, with respect to each policy of insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the Article, a copy of such policy (appropriately authenticated by the insurer as having been issued, premium paid) or a certificate of the insurer certifying in form satisfactory to Landlord that a policy has been issued, premium paid, providing the coverage required by this Paragraph and containing the provisions specified herein. With respect to each renewal or replacement of any such insurance, the requirements of this Paragraph must be complied with not less than thirty days prior to the expiration or cancellation of the policy being renewed or replaced. Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, inspect and/or copy any and all insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article. If Landlord’s Lender, insurance broker or advisor or counsel reasonably determines at any time that the amount of coverage set forth in Paragraph 9.1A for any policy of insurance Tenant is required to carry pursuant to this Article is not

adequate, then Tenant shall increase the amount of coverage for such insurance to such greater amount as Landlord’s Lender, insurance broker or advisor or counsel reasonably deems adequate; provided, however, such increased level of coverage may not exceed the level of coverage for such insurance commonly carried by comparable business similarly situated and operating under similar circumstances.

     9.2 LANDLORD’S INSURANCE

     With respect to insurance maintained by Landlord:

          A. Landlord shall maintain, as the minimum coverage required of it by this Lease, fire and property damage insurance in so-called “fire and extended coverage” form insuring Landlord (and such others as Landlord may designate) against loss from physical damage to the Building with coverage of not less than ninety percent of the full actual replacement cost thereof and against loss of rents for a period of not less than six months. Such fire and property damage insurance, at Landlord’s election but without any requirement on Landlord’s behalf to do so, (i) may be written in so-called “all risk” form, excluding only those perils commonly excluded from such coverage by Landlord’s then property damage insurer; (ii) may provide coverage for physical damage to the improvements so insured for up to the entire full actual replacement cost thereof; (iii) may be endorsed to cover loss or damage caused by any additional perils against which Landlord may elect to insure, including earthquake and/or flood; (iv) may provide coverage for loss of rents for a period of up to twelve months; and/or (v) may contain “deductibles” not exceeding One Thousand Dollars per occurrence (or up to five percent of the Building’s replacement value in the case of earthquake and/or flood insurance). Landlord shall not be required to cause such insurance to cover any of Tenant’s personal property, inventory and trade fixtures, or any modifications, alterations or improvements made or constructed by Tenant to or within the Leased Premises.

          B. Landlord shall maintain comprehensive general liability insurance insuring Landlord (and such others as are designated by Landlord) against liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death, and damage to property occurring in, on or about, or resulting from the use or occupancy of the Project, or any portion thereof, with combined single limit coverage of at least Two Million Dollars. Landlord may carry such greater coverage as Landlord or Landlord’s Lender, insurance broker or advisor or counsel may from time to time determine is reasonably necessary for the adequate protection of Landlord and the Project.

          C. Landlord may maintain any other insurance, which in the opinion of its insurance broker or advisor or legal counsel is prudent to carry under the given circumstances.

     9.3 MUTUAL WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

     Landlord hereby releases Tenant, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord and its respective partners and officers, agents, employees and servants, from any and all liability for loss, damage or injury to the property of the other in or about the Leased Premises which is caused by or results from a peril or event or happening which would be covered by insurance required to be carried under the terms of this Lease, or is covered by insurance actually carried and in force at the time of the loss, by the party sustaining such loss; provided, however, that such waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by the insurance covering loss and to the extent such insurance is not prejudiced thereby.

ARTICLE 10: DAMAGE TO LEASED PREMISES

     10.1 LANDLORD’S DUTY TO RESTORE

     If the Leased Premises are damaged by any peril after the Effective Date of this Lease, Landlord shall restore the Leased Premises, as and when required by this Paragraph, unless this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 10.2 or by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 10.3. All insurance proceeds available from the fire and property damage insurance carried by Landlord shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to either Paragraph 10.2 or 10.3, all insurance proceeds available from insurance carried by Tenant which cover loss to property that is Landlord’s property or would become Landlord’s property on termination of this Lease shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord, and the remainder of such proceeds shall be paid to and become the property of Tenant. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to either Paragraph 10.2 or 10.3, all insurance proceeds available from insurance carried by Tenant which cover loss to property that is Landlord’s property shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord, and all proceeds available which cover loss to property which would become the property of Landlord upon the termination of this Lease shall be paid to and remain the property of Tenant. If this Lease is not to terminated, then upon receipt of the insurance proceeds (if the loss is covered by insurance) and the issuance of all necessary governmental permits, Landlord shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion then restoration of the Leased Premises, to the extent then allowed by Law, to substantially the same condition in which the Leased Premises existed as of the Lease Commencement Date. Landlord’s obligation to restore shall be limited to the Leased Premises and interior improvements constructed by Landlord. Landlord shall have no obligation to restore any other improvements to the Leased Premises or any of Tenant’s personal property, inventory or trade fixtures. Upon completion of the restoration by Landlord, Tenant shall forthwith replace or fully repair all of Tenant’s personal property, inventory, trade fixtures and other improvements constructed by Tenant to like or similar conditions at the time of such damage or destruction.

     10.2 LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE

     Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which option may be exercised only by delivery to Tenant of a written notice of election to terminate within thirty days after the date of such damage or destruction:

          A. The Building is damaged by any peril covered by valid and collectible insurance actually carried by Landlord and in force at the time of such damage or destruction (an “insured peril”) to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore the Building exceeds the lesser of (i) the insurance proceeds available from insurance actually carried by Landlord, or (ii) seventy-five percent of the then actual replacement cost thereof;

          B. The Building is damaged by an uninsured peril, which peril Landlord was required to insure against pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 of this Lease, to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore the Building exceeds the lesser of (i) the insurance proceeds which would have been available had Landlord carried such required insurance, or (ii) seventy-five percent of the then actual replacement cost thereof;

          C. The Building is damaged by an uninsured peril, which peril Landlord was not required to insure against pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 of this Lease, to any extent.

          D. The Building is damaged by any peril and, because of the Laws then in force; the Building (i) can not be restored at reasonable cost or (ii) if restored, cannot be used for the same use being made thereof before such damage.

     10.3 TENANT’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE

     If the Leased Premises are damaged by any peril and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Article, then as soon as reasonably practicable, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the written opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant as to when the restoration work required of Landlord may be complete. Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which option may be exercised in the case of A or B below only by delivery to Landlord of a written notice of election to terminate within seven days after Tenant receives from Landlord the estimate of the time needed to complete such restoration:

          A. The Leased Premises are damaged by any peril and, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the Leased Premises cannot be substantially completed within nine months after the date of such damage; or

          B. The Leased Premises are damaged by any peril within nine months of the last day of the Lease Term and, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the Leased Premises cannot be substantially completed within ninety days after the date such restoration is commenced; or

          C. Landlord does not complete the restoration of the Leased Premises within nine months from the date of the damage, provided that such nine-month period of time shall be extended for such number of days as Landlord may be delayed by reason of Force Majeure.

     10.4 TENANT’S WAIVER

     Landlord and Tenant agree that the provision of Paragraph 10.3 above, captioned “Tenant’s Right to Terminate”, are intended to supersede and replace the provisions contained in California Civil Code, Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and California Civil Code, Section 1934, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of said Civil Code Sections and the provisions of any successor Code Sections or similar Laws hereinafter enacted.

     10.5 ABATEMENT OF RENT

     In the event of damage to the Leased Premises, which does not result in the termination of this Lease, the Base Monthly Rent (and any Additional Rent) shall be temporarily abated during the period of restoration in proportion to the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises is impaired by such damage.

ARTICLE 11: CONDEMNATION

     11.1 LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE

     Subject to Paragraph 11.3, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this lease if, as a result of a taking by means of the exercise of the power of eminent domain (including inverse condemnation and/or a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to an entity having the power of eminent domain under the threat of condemnation), (i) all or any part of the Leased Premises is so taken, (ii) more than thirty-three and one-third percent of the Building’s leasable area is so taken, (iii) more than thirty-three and one-third percent of the Common Areas is so taken, or (iv) because of the Laws then in force, the Leased Premises may not be used for the same use being made thereof before such taking, whether or not restored as required by Paragraph 11.4 below. Any such option to terminate by Landlord must be exercisable within a reasonable period of time; to be effective as of the date possession is taken by the condemnor.

     11.2 TENANT’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE

     Subject to Paragraph 11.3, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease if, as a result of any taking by means of the exercise of the power of eminent domain (including inverse condemnation and/or a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to an entity having the power of eminent domain under threat of condemnation), (i) all of the Leased Premises is so taken, (ii) thirty-three and one-third percent or more of the Leased Premises is so taken and the part of the Leased Premises that remains cannot, within a reasonable period of time, be made reasonably suitable for the continued operation of the Tenant’s business or, (iii) there is a taking of a portion of the Common Areas, as a result of such taking, Landlord cannot provide parking spaces within the Project (or within a reasonable distance therefrom) equal in number to at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent of Tenant’s Number of Parking Spaces (as set forth in Article 1), whether by rearrangement of the remaining parking areas in the Common Area (including, if Landlord elects, construction of multi-deck parking structures or restriping for compact cars where permitted by Law), or by providing alternative parking facilities on other land within reasonable walking distance of the Leased Premises. Tenant must exercise such option within a reasonable period of time, to be effective on the later to occur of (i) the date that possession of that portion of the Common area or the Leased Premises that is condemned and taken by the condemnor or (ii) the date Tenant vacates the Leased Premises.

     11.3 TEMPORARY TAKING

     If any portion of the Leased Premises is temporarily taken for one year or less, this Lease shall remain in effect. If any portion of the Leased Premises is temporarily taken for a period which either exceeds one year or which extends beyond the natural expiration of the Lease Term, then Landlord and Tenant shall each independently have the option to terminate this Lease, effective on the date possession is taken by the condemnor.

     11.4 RESTORATION AND ABATEMENT OF RENT

     If any part of the Leased Premises is taken by condemnation and this Lease is not terminated, then Landlord shall repair any damage occasioned thereby to the remainder of the Leased Premises to a condition reasonably suitable for Tenant’s continued operations and otherwise, to the extent practicable, in the manner and to the extent provided in Paragraph 10.1. As of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority, (i) the Base Monthly Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion that the area of that part of the Leased Premises so taken (less any addition to the area of the Leased

Premises by reason of any construction) bears to the area of the Leased Premises immediately prior to such taking, and (ii) Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be appropriately adjusted.

     11.5 DIVISION OF CONDEMNATION AWARD

     Any award made for any condemnation of the Project, the Building, the Common Areas or the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, shall belong to and be paid to Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in any such award; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to receive any condemnation award that is made directly to Tenant (i) for the taking of personal property, inventory or trade fixtures belonging to Tenant, (ii) for the interruption of Tenant’s business or its moving costs, (iii) for loss of Tenant’s goodwill, or (iv) for any temporary taking where this Lease is not terminated as a result of such taking. The rights of Landlord and Tenant regarding any condemnation shall be determined as provided in this Article, and each party hereby waives the provisions of Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted, allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease and/or allocating condemnation awards between Landlord and Tenant in the event of a taking of the Leased Premises.

ARTICLE 12: DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

     12.1 EVENTS OF TENANT’S DEFAULT

     Tenant shall be in default of its obligations under this Lease if any of the following events occur:

          A. Tenant shall have failed to pay Base Monthly Rent or any Additional Rent when due; or

          B. Tenant shall have done or permitted to have been done any act, use or thing in its use, occupancy or possession of the Leased Premises or in its use of the Common Areas which is prohibited by the terms of this Lease; or

          E. Tenant shall have abandoned the Leased Premises; or

          F. Tenant or any Guarantor of this Lease shall have permitted or suffered the sequestration or attachment of, or execution on, or the appointment of a custodian or receiver with respect to, all or any substantial part of the property or assets of Tenant (or such Guarantor) or any property or asset essential to the conduct of Tenant’s (or such Guarantor’s) business, and Tenant (or such Guarantor) shall have failed to obtain a return or release of the same within thirty days thereafter, or prior to sale pursuant to such sequestration, attachment or levy, whichever is earlier; or

          G. Tenant or any Guarantor of this Lease shall have made a general assignment of all or a substantial part of its assets for the benefit of its creditors; or

          H. Tenant or any Guarantor of this Lease shall have allowed (or sought) to have entered against it a decree or order which: (i) grants or constitutes an order for relief, appointment of a trustee, or confirmation of a reorganization plan under the bankruptcy laws of the United States; (ii) approves as property filed a petition seeking liquidation or reorganization under said bankruptcy laws or any other debtor’s relief law or similar statute of the United States or any state thereof; or (iii) otherwise directs the winding up or liquidation of Tenant; provided, however, if any decree or order was entered without Tenant’s consent or over Tenant’s objection, Landlord may not terminate this Lease pursuant to this Subparagraph if such decree or order is rescinded or reversed within thirty days after its original entry.

          I. Tenant or any Guarantor of this Lease shall have availed itself of the protection of any debtor’s relief law, moratorium law or other similar Law, which does not require the prior entry of a decree or order.

     12.2 LANDLORD’S REMEDIES

     In the event of any default by Tenant, and without limiting Landlord’s right to indemnification as provided in Article 8.2, Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively, or in the alternative:

          A. Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, keep this Lease in effect and enforce, by an action at law or in equity, all of its rights and remedies under this Lease including, without limitation, (i) the right to recover the rent and other sums as they become due by appropriate legal action, (ii) the right to make payments required of Tenant, or perform Tenant’s obligations and be reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof with interest at the then maximum rate of interest not prohibited by Law from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant, and (iii) the remedies of injunctive relief and specific performance to prevent Tenant from violating the terms of this Lease and/or to compel Tenant to perform its obligations under this Lease, as the case may be.

          B. Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set forth for termination in such notice. Any termination under this Subparagraph shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay to Landlord all Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent then or thereafter due, or any other sums due or thereafter accruing to Landlord, or from any claim against Tenant for damages previously accrued or then or thereafter accruing. In no event shall any one or more of the following actions by landlord, in the absence of a written election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, constitute a termination of this Lease:

               (1) Appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect Landlord’s interest hereunder;

               (2) Consent to any subletting of the Leased Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant, whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or otherwise; or

               (3) Any other action by Landlord or Landlord’s agents intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, including, without limitation, any action taken to maintain and preserve the Leased Premises or any action taken to relet the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, for the account of Tenant and in the name of Tenant.

          C. In the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Leased Premises, Landlord may terminate this Lease, but this Lease shall not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of termination. No act by or on behalf of Landlord intended to mitigate the adverse effect of such breach, including those described by Subparagraphs B(1), (2) and (3) immediately preceding, shall constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of termination. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination, Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this lease, including the right to recover rent as it becomes due under this Lease as provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.4, as in effect on the Effective Date of this Lease.

          D. In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord’s election, to damages in an amount as set forth in California Civil Code Section 1951.2, an interest rate equal to the maximum rate of interest then not prohibited by Law shall be used where permitted. Such damages shall include, without limitation:

               (1) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent; and

               (2) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this lease, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, the following (i) expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Leased Premises; (ii) expenses for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Leased Premises for the purpose of reletting, including removal of existing leasehold improvements and/or installation of additional leasehold improvements (regardless of how the same is funded, including reduction of rent, a direct payment or allowance to a new tenant, or otherwise); (iii) broker’s fees, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the Leased Premises; (iv) costs of carrying the Leased Premises, such as taxes, insurance premiums, utility charges and security precautions; (v) expenses incurred in removing, disposing of and/or storing any of Tenant’s personal property, inventory or trade fixtures remaining therein; (vi) attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by landlord (but not limited to taxable costs) in retaking possession of the Leased Premises, establishing damages hereunder, and releasing the Leased Premises; and (vii) any other expenses, costs or damages otherwise incurred or suffered as a result of Tenant’s default.

     12.3 LANDLORD’S DEFAULT AND TENANT’S REMEDIES

     In the event Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall nevertheless not be in default under the terms of this Lease until such time as Tenant shall have first given Landlord written notice specifying the nature of such failure to perform its obligations, and then only after Landlord shall have had a reasonable period of time following its receipt of such notice within which to perform such obligations. In the event of Landlord’s default as above set forth, then, and only then, Tenant shall have the following remedies only:

          A. Tenant may then proceed in equity or at law to compel Landlord to perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such failure to perform (except as and to the extent Tenant has waived its right to damages as provided in this Lease).

          B. Tenant, at its option, may then cure any default of Landlord at Landlord’s cost. If, pursuant to this Subparagraph, Tenant reasonably pays any sum to any third party or does any act that requires the payment of any sum to any third party at any time by reason of Landlord’s default, the sum paid by Tenant shall be immediately due from Landlord to Tenant at the time Tenant supplies Landlord with an invoice therefore (provided such invoice sets forth and is accompanied by a written statement of Tenant setting forth in reasonable detail the amount paid, the party to whom it was paid, the date it was paid, and the reasons giving rise to such payment), together with interest at twelve percent per annum from the date of such invoice until Tenant is reimbursed by Landlord. Tenant may not offset such sums against any installment of rent due Landlord under the terms of this Lease.

     12.4 LIMITATION ON TENANT’S RECOURSE

     If Landlord is a corporation, trust, partnership, joint venture, unincorporated association, or other form of business entity, Tenant agrees that (i) the obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall not constitute personal obligations of the officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders, or other principals of such business entity and (ii) Tenant shall have recourse only to the assets of such business entity for the satisfaction o such obligations and not against the assets of such officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders or principals (other than to the extent of their interest in the assets owned by such business entity). Additionally, if Landlord is a partnership, then Tenant covenants and agrees:

          A. No partner of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in any suit or action brought by Tenant with respect to any alleged breach of this Lease (except to the extent necessary to secure jurisdiction over the partnership and then only for that sole purpose);

          B. No service of process shall be made against any partner of Landlord except for the sole purpose of securing jurisdiction over the partnership; and

          C. No writ of execution shall be levied against the assets of any partner of Landlord other than to the extent of his interest in the assets of the partnership.

     12.5 TENANT’S WAIVER

     Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of Paragraph 12.3 above are intended to supersede and replace the provisions of California Civil Code 1932(1), 1941 and 1942, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code and/or any similar or successor Law regarding Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the rent due under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any right to redemption or relief from forfeiture under the Laws of the State of California, or under any other present or future Law, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Leased Premises by reason of any default by Tenant.

ARTICLE 13: GENERAL PROVISIONS

     13.1 TAXES ON TENANT’S PROPERTY

     Tenant shall pay before delinquency any and all taxes, assessments, license fees, use fees, permit fees and public charges of whatever nature or description levied, assessed or imposed against

Tenant or Landlord by a governmental agency arising out of, caused by reason of or based upon Tenant’s estate in this Lease, Tenant’s ownership of property, improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises, improvements made by Landlord for Tenant’s use within the Leased Premises, Tenants use (or estimated use) of public facilities or services or Tenant’s consumption (or estimated consumption) of public utilities, energy, water or other resources. On demand by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of these payments. If any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges are levied against Landlord, Landlord’s property, the Building, or the Project, or if the assessed value of the Building or the Project is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon the same, then Landlord, after giving written notice to Tenant, shall have the right, regardless of the validity thereof, to pay such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge and bill Tenant, as Additional Rent, the amount of such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so paid on Tenant’s behalf. Tenant shall, within ten days from the date it receives an invoice from Landlord setting forth the amount of such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so levied, pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount set forth in said invoice. Failure by Tenant to pay the amount so invoiced within said ten-day period shall be conclusively deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall have the right, and with Landlord’s full cooperation if Tenant is not then in default under the terms of this Lease, to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover from the taxing authority the amount of any such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so paid.

     13.2 HOLDING OVER

     This Lease shall terminate without further notice on the Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article 1). Any holding over by Tenant after expiration of the Lease Term shall neither constitute a renewal nor extension of this Lease nor give Tenant any rights in or to the Leased Premises except as expressly provided in this Paragraph. Any such holding over shall be deemed an unlawful detainer of the Leased Premises unless Landlord has consented to same. Any such holding over to which Landlord has consented shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable, except that the Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent of the Base Monthly Rent payable during the last full month immediately preceding such holding over.

     13.3 SUBORDINATION

     This Lease is subject and subordinate to all deeds of trust, which affect the Building and are of public record as of the Effective Date of this Lease, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. However, if any Lender holding any such deed of trust shall advise Landlord that it desires or requires this Lease to be made prior and superior thereto, then, upon written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents or instruments which Landlord and such Lender deem necessary or desirable to make this Lease prior thereto. Tenant hereby consents to Landlord’s encumbering the Building as security for future loans on such terms as Landlord shall desire, which future deeds of trust shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease. However, if any Lender holding such future deed of trust shall desire or require that this Lease be made subject and subordinate to such future deed of trust, then Tenant agrees, within ten days after Landlord’s written request therefore, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all documents or instruments requested by Landlord or such Lender as may be necessary or proper to assure the subordination of this Lease to such future deed of trust; but only if such Lender agrees to recognize Tenant’s rights under this Lease and not to disturb Tenant’s quiet possession of the Leased Premises so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease.

     13.4 TENANT’S ATTORNMENT UPON FORECLOSURE

     Tenant shall, upon request, attorn (i) to any purchaser of the Building at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted pursuant to any security instrument encumbering the Building, or (ii) to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure of any security interest encumbering the Building.

     13.5 LENDER PROTECTION

     In the event of any default on the part of the Landlord, Tenant will give notice by certified mail to any Lender who shall have requested, in writing, to Tenant that it be provided with such notice, and Tenant shall offer such Lender a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Leased Premises by power of sale of judicial foreclosure or other appropriate legal proceedings if reasonably necessary to effect a cure.

     13.6 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

     Tenant will, following any request by Landlord, promptly execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iv) certifying such other information about this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such estoppel certificate within ten days after Landlord’s request therefore shall be a material default by Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies available to Landlord as Landlord would otherwise have in the case of any other material default by Tenant, including the right to terminate this Lease and sue for damages proximately caused thereby, it being agreed and understood by Tenant that Tenant’s failure to so deliver such estoppel certificate in a timely manner could result in Landlord being unable to perform committed obligations to other third parties which were made by Landlord in reliance upon this covenant of Tenant. Landlord and Tenant understand that any statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph may be relied upon by any Lender or purchaser or prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the Project, or any interest therein.

     13.7 TENANTS’ FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     Tenant shall, within ten business days after Landlord’s request therefore, deliver to Landlord a copy of a current financial statement and any such other information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding Tenant’s financial condition. Landlord shall be entitled to disclose such financial statements or other information to its Lender, to any present or prospective principal of or investor in Landlord, or to any prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the Project or any portion thereof or interest therein. Any such financial statement or other information which is marked “confidential” or “company secrets” (or is otherwise similarly marked by Tenant) shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed by Landlord to any third party except as specifically provided in this Paragraph, unless the same becomes a part of the public domain without the fault of Landlord.

     13.8 TRANSFER BY LANDLORD

     Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in the Building, the Project, or any portion thereof at any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such transfer and (ii) shall be relieved of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which have accrued before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to assume and perform all such prior obligations of the Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall attorn to any such transferee. After the date of any such transfer, the term “Landlord” as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the Building or the Project.

     13.9 FORCE MAJEURE

     The obligations of each of the parties under this Lease (other than the obligation to pay money) shall be temporarily excused if such party is prevented or delayed in performing such obligation by reason of any strikes, lockouts or labor disputes; inability to obtain labor, materials, fuels or reasonable substitutes therefore; governmental restrictions, regulations, controls, action or inaction; civil commotion; inclement weather, fire or other acts of God; or other causes (except financial inability) beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform (including acts or omissions of the other party) for a period equal to the period of any such prevention, delay or stoppage.

     13.10 NOTICES

     Any notice required or desired to be given by a party regarding this Lease shall be in writing and shall be personally served, or in lieu of personal service may be given by depositing such notice in the United States mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid, addressed to the other party as follows:

          A. If addressed to Landlord, to Landlord at its Address for Notices (as set forth in Article 1).

          B. If addressed to Tenant, to Tenant at its Address for Notices (as set forth in Article 1).

     Any notice given by registered mail shall be deemed to have been given on the third business day after its deposit in the United States mail. Any notice given by certified mail shall be deemed given on the date receipt was acknowledged to the postal authorities. Any notice given by mail other than registered or certified mail shall be deemed given only if received by the other party, and then on the date of receipt. Each party may, by written notice to the other in the manner aforesaid, change the address to which notices addressed to it shall thereafter be mailed.

     13.11 ATTORNEY’S FEES

     In the event any party shall bring any action, arbitration proceeding or legal proceeding alleging a breach of any provision of this Lease, to recover rent, to terminate this Lease, or to enforce, protect, determine or establish any term or covenant of this Lease or rights or duties hereunder of either party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party as a part of such action or proceeding, or in a separate action for that purpose brought within one year from the determination of such proceeding, reasonable attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by the prevailing party. In the event that Landlord shall be required to retain counsel to enforce any provision of this Lease, and if Tenant shall thereafter cure (or desire to cure) such default, Landlord shall be conclusively deemed the prevailing party and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses so incurred by Landlord promptly upon demand. Landlord may enforce this provision by either (i) requiring Tenant to pay such fees and costs as a condition to curing its default or (ii) bringing a separate action to enforce such payment, it being agreed by and between Landlord and Tenant that Tenant’s failure to pay such fees and costs upon demand shall constitute a breach of this Lease in the same manner as a failure by Tenant to pay the Base Monthly Rent, giving Landlord the same rights and remedies as if Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent.

     13.12 DEFINITIONS

     Any term that is given a special meaning by any provision in this Lease shall, unless otherwise specifically stated, have such meaning whenever used in this Lease or in any Addenda or Amendment hereto.

ADDENDUM TO INDUSTRIAL SPACE LEASE

This Addendum relates to that Net Industrial Space Lease (“Lease”) dated July 12, 2006 for reference purposes, between Tasman V, LLC, as Landlord and Adeza Biomedical Corporation, as Tenant.

The Addendum shall be part of the Lease and shall include the following provisions:

     15.1 PAYMENT OF PROJECT MAINTENANCE COSTS

     Landlord shall have the option to deliver to Tenant a written estimate of Tenant’s share of the Project Maintenance Costs for the ensuing lease year. In the event that Landlord delivers such a written estimate to Tenant, Tenant shall then pay to Landlord the estimated amount of the Project Maintenance Costs in twelve (12) equal installments, in advance, commencing on the first day of each month provided that such written notice shall be delivered to Tenant ten (10) days in advance of the due date. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each lease year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing in reasonable details the actual Project Maintenance Costs incurred by Landlord during such lease year. If Tenant paid more than Tenant’s proportionate share, Landlord shall either credit the amount of such overpayment toward the next subsequent payment or payments due for Project Maintenance Costs that would otherwise become due, or refund in cash the amount of such overpayment. If Tenant did not pay Tenant’s proportionate share in full, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of such underpayment within ten (10) days from Landlord’s written demand. Landlord reserves the right to change from time to time the method of billing Tenant for Tenant’s proportionate share of the Project Maintenance Costs.

     15.2 CONDITION OF THE PREMISES

     Tenant has inspected the premises and agrees to accept possession of the premises in the “as is” condition, without warranty, expressed or implied.

     15.3 OPTION TO EXTEND

     Provided Tenant is not in default under any provision of the Lease, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant two one year options to extend the term of this Lease for an additional term when the existing term expires, on the terms and conditions set forth in this paragraph. Tenant may exercise this option by giving Landlord written notice of its intention not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the existing term of this Lease. If this Option is exercised, the Base Monthly Rent for the Premises shall equal the then current fair market monthly rent (“Fair Market Rent”), which shall not be less than $19,860.00 per month for the Premises as of the commencement date of the applicable extended term. If the parties cannot agree on the amount of the “Fair Market Rent” and the annual adjustment to such Fair Market Rent within sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of such extended term, then the Fair Market Rent and the annual adjustment thereto shall be determined by an appraisal. All other terms and conditions contained in the Lease and this Addendum, as the same may be amended from time to time by the parties in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply during the Option term.

     If the fair market rental value for the Premises needs to be determined by appraisal, Landlord and Tenant shall either agree to select one real estate appraiser or three real estate appraisers. Any real estate appraiser selected shall be a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, shall have at least five (5) years experience appraising commercial space located in the vicinity of the Premises, and shall act in accordance with the rules of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers. The Fair Market Rent shall be based on rental of space of the same age, construction, size and location as the Premises with the improvements installed therein. If only one appraiser is selected, then each party shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of that appraiser. If proceeding with three appraisers, each party shall select one appraiser, who in turn shall select the third appraiser. If three appraisers are selected, each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the appraiser it selects and one-half of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser.

     Each term used herein with initial capital letters shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Lease unless specifically otherwise defined herein. In the event of any inconsistency between this Addendum and the Lease, the terms of this Addendum shall prevail.
