ARTICLE 3
TERM

3.1. Term. The “Original Term” of this Lease shall be for the period set forth in Article 1 above, commencing on the Commencement Date. As used in this Lease, “Term”, if used without further qualification, shall mean the Original Term together with any Renewal Terms, as applicable. Regardless of the specific day of the month on which the Term commenced, it shall not expire until the last day of the final month of the Term, the length of the Original Term or the final Renewal Term, as applicable, being extended by the necessary number of days to accomplish such result. For example, if the Commencement Date occurs on March 15, 2011, the Original Term shall expire on March 31, 2031.

3.2. Renewal Terms. Provided that Tenant is not in default beyond the expiration of any applicable grace periods under this Lease at the time of exercise of its option, Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease for the entire Premises for four (4) terms of five (5) years each (each, a “Renewal Term” and collectively, the “Renewal Terms”), as follows:

3.2.1. Commencement of Renewal Term. The Renewal Term shall commence on the day following expiration of the Original Term or, if applicable, the day following expiration of the preceding Renewal Term.

3.2.2. Exercise of Option to Renew. Tenant may exercise the option to renew by a written notice to Landlord (a “Renewal Notice”), given not less than four hundred fifty-five (455) days prior to the last day of the Original Term or, if applicable, the then existing Renewal Term. In no event shall Tenant have the right to lease less than the entire Premises during a Renewal Term.

3.2.3. Terms of Lease During Renewal Terms. The terms and conditions of the Lease for the Renewal Terms shall be identical with the terms and conditions of the Original Term (including the rent adjustment set forth in Paragraph 4.2) except for Fixed Rent and except that Tenant will not have any options to renew this Lease beyond the four (4) Renewal Terms. The Fixed Rent at the commencement of each Renewal Term shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the greater of (i) the then Current Market Rate, as defined in Paragraph 3.2.4 below or (ii) the average of the Fixed Rent in effect for the preceding five (5) years of the Term. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall not have any obligation to pay any build out, refurbishment or other allowance during the Renewal Term, or to pay leasing commissions to Tenant’s broker, if any.

3.2.4. Determination of Fixed Rent During Renewal Terms. The Current Market Rate when Tenant is exercising an option for a Renewal Term shall be determined as follows:

3.2.4.1. “Current Market Rate” shall be defined as the bona fide rental rate then being offered in “arm’s length” transactions to prospective tenants for comparable space in comparable buildings in the same geographic submarket as the Premises and taking into account the value of the parking spaces available as part of the Premises, and the fact that no brokerage fees are to be paid in the transaction.

3.2.4.2. If Tenant exercises its option to renew, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (the “Market Rate Notice”) of Landlord’s determination of the Current Market Rate on or before three hundred sixty-five (365) days prior to the expiration of the expiring term. If, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such Market Rate Notice, Tenant fails to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s objection to Landlord’s proposed Current Market Rate, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Current Market Rate specified in the Market Rate Notice and Landlord will prepare an appropriate amendment to this Lease. If, within such 15-day period, Tenant objects to Landlord’s proposed Current Market Rate (the “Objection Notice”), the parties shall attempt to negotiate their differences in good faith within fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Objection Notice (the “Negotiation Period”). If the parties fail to agree on a Current Market Rate during the Negotiation Period, then the Current Market Rate shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Paragraphs 3.2.4.3 below.

3.2.4.3. If Tenant and Landlord do not agree (or are not deemed to have agreed) on a Current Market Rate as provided in Paragraph 3.2.4.2 above, each party shall appoint a local third-party appraiser who (a) is a member of the

American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, or if it shall not then be in existence, a member of the most nearly comparable organization, (b) has a minimum of five (5) years experience in the Phoenix, Arizona commercial office market, (c) is licensed by the state of Arizona, and (d) is not affiliated with either party. Each party shall notify the other as to the name and address of the appraiser selected within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Negotiation Period. If either party fails to designate an appraiser within such 10-day period, the single appraiser so selected shall determine the Current Market Rate. If two appraisers are timely selected, both appraisers shall independently make a determination of the Current Market Rate, then meet in person within thirty (30) days following the selection of the second appraiser to exchange such written determinations simultaneously, and thereafter notify both parties of each of the respective appraiser determinations. If the difference between the average effective Current Market Rate for the applicable Renewal Term calculated by each appraiser is 15% or less, the parties may mutually agree to elect to average the rates calculated by the two appraisers, such option to be exercised by written notice from each party to the other party and to the appraisers within five (5) days after receipt of notice by the appraiser(s) of the Current Market Rate calculation. If both parties elect to average the appraisals, the two appraisals will be averaged and the resulting figure will be the Current Market Rate. If both parties do not elect to average the appraisals or if the difference between the rates calculated by each appraiser is more than 15%, the two appraisers shall together select a third appraiser within fifteen (15) days following the determination of both appraisals. The third appraiser shall satisfy the same professional qualification requirements set forth above. The third appraiser must select one or the other of the two calculations of Current Market Rate submitted by the other two appraisers (and such third appraiser shall not be entitled to vary from the rates presented by the two appraisers). Both Tenant and Landlord agree that they will not contact or directly or indirectly interfere with the third appraiser’s selection of the Current Market Rent. The third appraiser will notify the parties within ten (10) days of being selected to make the Current Market Rate determination. Subject to Paragraph 3.2.4.4, the determination of the third appraiser shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant. The fees of any third appraiser shall be borne equally by the parties.

3.2.4.4. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the difference between the Current Market Rates determined by the two appraisers selected by the parties under Paragraph 3.2.4.3 above was more than 15%, Tenant shall have the option to withdraw its Renewal Notice within ten (10) days following the date Tenant receives written notice of the amount of the Current Market Rate determined by the third appraiser by giving written notice to Landlord (the “Renewal Termination Notice”), and the Lease shall expire at the expiration of the then-applicable Term; provided, however, that if there is less than one (1) year remaining on the then-applicable Term when the Renewal Termination Notice is given, the Lease shall be automatically extended so that the Term expires one year from the Renewal Termination Notice. If Tenant does not withdraw its Renewal Notice within such 10-day period, Tenant shall be deemed

to have waived its right to withdraw the Renewal Notice, and shall be bound by the conclusion of the third appraiser as determined under Paragraph 3.2.4.3 above.

3.2.4.5. If the parties fail to agree upon the Current Market Rate hereunder prior to the commencement of the applicable Renewal Term, and until the Current Market Rate is determined in the manner provided herein, or such appraisal process is delayed by either party due to a default in the appraisal process, Tenant agrees to pay Fixed Rent equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the previous Fixed Rent under this Lease (“Temporary Monthly Market Rate”) until the Current Market Rate is determined. Within twenty (20) days of the determination of the Current Market Rate, Landlord shall refund to Tenant or Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as applicable, for the elapsed period, the difference between the Temporary Monthly Market Rate paid by Tenant and the Fixed Rent finally determined based on the final determination of the Current Market Rate.

ARTICLE 4
RENT

4.1. Initial Fixed Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord, as an annual “Fixed Rent” for the Premises, a sum equal to the Annual Fixed Rent set forth in Paragraph 1(f), as may be adjusted pursuant to Paragraph 4.2, plus applicable taxes as provided in Paragraph 12.3 below. Annual Fixed Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term of this Lease in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at the address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other places as Landlord may designate in writing. All rental and other sums which Tenant is required to pay hereunder shall be the unconditional obligation of Tenant and shall be payable in full when due without any setoff, abatement, deferment, deduction or counterclaim other than as expressly provided in this Lease. The Fixed Rent and any other amounts payable hereunder are collectively referred to as the “Rent.” Fixed Rent for any period during the Term which is for less than one month shall be a pro rata portion of the installment.

4.2. Rent Adjustment. Commencing on the first day of the month following the first anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Initial Adjustment Date”) and on each anniversary of the Initial Adjustment Date thereafter (including on each anniversary occurring during any Renewal Term, other than the one occurring on the first day of a Renewal Term) (each an “Adjustment Date”), the Fixed Rent for the next succeeding twelve month period shall be adjusted to be an amount equal to the Fixed Rent for the immediately preceding twelve month period multiplied by One Hundred and Two percent (102%).

If at any time during the Term, Tenant is self-insuring pursuing to this Paragraph 9.1.9 and Tenant’s tangible net worth falls below the minimum tangible net worth requirement set forth above, then Tenant shall no longer be entitled to self-insure under this Paragraph 9.1.9, and Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof and procure all insurance otherwise required by this Article 9 and deliver to Landlord evidence of such insurance as required by this Article 9.

If Tenant shall fail to procure and maintain any insurance required to be maintained by it under this Paragraph and such failure continues after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods under this Lease or the expiration of the applicable policy (whichever is sooner), the Landlord may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same, but at the expense of Tenant. THE INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS HEREIN ARE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS CONTRACT AND IN NO WAY LIMIT THE INDEMNITY COVENANTS CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE. All policies shall be written as primary policies, with deductibles not to exceed 10% of the amount of coverage.

In the event of any transfer by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or any financing or refinancing

of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, Tenant shall, upon not less than twenty (20) days’ prior written notice, deliver to Landlord or any lender providing such financing or refinancing, as the case may be, certificates of all insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder naming such transferee or such lender, as the case may be, as an additional named insured or loss payee, as applicable, to the extent required herein effective as of the date of such transfer, financing or refinancing.

9.3. Modifications to Insurance Coverage. If during the Term (i) any of the types of insurance policies or the requirements related to the insurance policies required under this Article 9 are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms or (ii) it becomes commercially reasonable to obtain additional insurance coverage not specified in this Article 9 or to modify the terms of any coverages specified in this Article 9, then upon written notice of either party, the parties shall attempt to negotiate in good faith changes to this Article 9. If the parties are unable to agree on whether changes to this Article 9 are appropriate, the matter shall be resolved pursuant to Paragraph 17.9.

Landlord and Tenant will each, upon obtaining the respective policies of insurance required under this Lease, give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease and obtain, if available at commercially reasonable rates, from the respective carriers an endorsement waiving any right of subrogation in favor of the insurer.

9.5. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance herein, Landlord does not represent that coverage and limits will necessarily be adequate to protect Tenant, and such coverage and limits shall not be deemed as a limitation of Tenant’s liability under any indemnification provisions in this Lease. Failure of Landlord to demand such certificate or other evidence of full compliance with these insurance requirements or failure of Landlord to identify a deficiency from evidence that is provided shall not be construed as a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to maintain such insurance.

If Tenant fails to timely deliver a Casualty Termination Notice, Tenant will be deemed to have elected not to exercise its option to terminate the Lease and Tenant shall complete the Restoration. If Tenant elects or is deemed to have elected to complete a Restoration, the insurance proceeds will be made available to the Tenant for application to the cost of Restoration, which proceeds shall be deposited in an escrow with a third party for distribution in the same manner as a construction loan.

Such sum shall be paid simultaneously with the payment by Tenant to Landlord of the Rent or, in the case of a tax not attributable to Rent, at such time as Landlord shall demand payment thereof. Nothing contained in this Lease shall require Tenant to pay any franchise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession, or transfer tax of Landlord or any tax upon the net income of Landlord.

12.4. Contest of Taxes. Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to contest the amount of any tax or assessment for which Tenant is liable under this Article 12, as

long as such contest is conducted in good faith and with due diligence by appropriate legal proceedings, and provided that (i) such proceeding shall suspend the collection thereof from the Premises or any interest therein or if it does not, such taxes or assessments are paid in full under protest, (ii) neither the Premises nor any interest therein would be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such proceedings, and (iii) unless such taxes or assessments are paid in full under protest, by the date such taxes or assessments would otherwise be delinquent, Tenant shall have deposited with Landlord adequate reserves for the payment of the taxes and assessments or Tenant shall have furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding or as may be required by Landlord to insure payment of any contested taxes. Landlord shall cooperate in any reasonable manner with such contest by Tenant, but Landlord shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket cost in connection with such contest.

ARTICLE 13
CONDEMNATION

13.1. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof is taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (collectively “Condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, (the “Condemnation Date”), and the Fixed Rent shall be reduced for the balance of the Premises as provided below.

13.2. Right to Terminate. If (a) (i) more than ten percent (10%) of the floor area of a Building is taken by Condemnation or (ii) such taking results in a loss of more than ten percent (10%) of the parking for a Building that is not accommodated by replacement parking that is reasonably proximate to the Building it serves, or (iii) access to a Building is substantially and negatively impaired, and reasonable alterations or additions to the Building cannot be constructed to restore such access to the Building, and (b) as a result of such taking by Condemnation the balance of the Building, if any, remaining after such Condemnation is not reasonably suitable for the permitted use under this Lease in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, Tenant may terminate this Lease as to the Building so impacted effective as of the Condemnation Date, or such later date that Tenant fully vacates the Building, in which the Fixed Rent shall be adjusted to reflect the rentable square footage of the Building as to which the Lease is terminated. If Landlord disputes Tenant’s determination as to whether the balance of any Building remaining after a Condemnation is reasonably suitable for the permitted use under this Lease, the parties shall resolve this issue pursuant to Paragraph 17.9. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event of any Condemnation in connection with the proposed I-10 Corridor expansion so long as such Condemnation does not exceed the “worst case” right of way scenario outlined in the January 14, 2009 letter from the Arizona Department of Transportation to Brent Fuller at Apollo Group, Inc., Tenant will have no right to terminate this Lease.

13.3. Rent Reduction. If Tenant is not entitled to terminate this Lease under Paragraph 13.2 with respect to any Building that is impacted by a Condemnation or if Tenant does not exercise its right to terminate this Lease under Paragraph 13.2 with respect to any Building that is impacted by a Condemnation, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Fixed Rent shall be reduced (as of the Condemnation Date) (i) based on the rentable square footage of the portion of any Building so

taken or (ii) if the parking remaining following any taking results in an overall parking ratio for all Buildings of less than 6.4 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet, based on the value of the parking so taken; provided, however, that Landlord, at its option, may elect to assign to Tenant its rights to all condemnation proceeds on account of such taking (net of any actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such condemnation), in which case there shall be no reduction in Fixed Rent. If the parties are unable to agree as to the reduction in Fixed Rent under clause (ii) of this Paragraph 13.3, the parties shall resolve this issue pursuant to Paragraph 17.9.

13.4. Restoration of Premises. If this Lease is not terminated as to the entire Premises by reason of any Condemnation, Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by such Condemnation, and all condemnation proceeds (net of any actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such condemnation) will be made available to the Tenant for application to the cost of repair, which proceeds shall be deposited in an escrow with a third party for distribution in the same manner as a construction loan. If the condemnation proceeds (net of any actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such condemnation) are not sufficient to pay all of the repair costs, then, subject to the last sentence of this Paragraph 13.4, Tenant shall pay the excess costs. All proceeds (net of any actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such condemnation), shall first be used for items of repair having a useful life that extends beyond the Term (including the term of any options which Tenant may have the right to exercise), and, if such proceeds are insufficient to fully pay for such items of repair, the balance of the remaining cost of such items of repair (the “Remaining Balance”) shall be divided between Tenant and Landlord as follows: Tenant shall be obligated to pay the portion of the Remaining Balance which bears the same ratio to the Remaining Balance as the remaining term of this Lease (as determined on the Condemnation Date and including the term of any options which the Tenant may have the right to exercise) bears to the reasonably anticipated useful life of such item of repair and the remainder of the Remaining Balance shall be paid by Landlord.

13.5. Award. Subject to Paragraph 13.3 and Paragraph 13.4, all compensation awarded for any Condemnation, whether for the whole or part of the Premises or otherwise, shall be the property of Landlord, whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for diminution in the value of the leasehold or to the fee of the Premises or the Building, but Tenant shall be entitled to pursue a separate award for its moving expenses and for any trade fixtures, furniture or equipment which Tenant is entitled to remove and which are subject to the taking as long as such separate award would not adversely affect or interfere with the prosecution of Landlord’s claim for such Condemnation or otherwise reduce the amount recoverable by Landlord for such Condemnation.

13.6. Temporary Condemnation. If the temporary use of the whole or any part of the Premises shall be taken by Condemnation, the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way, and Tenant in such event shall continue to pay in full the Fixed Rent and other charges herein reserved, without reduction or abatement, and, except to the extent that Tenant is prevented from so doing by reason of any order of the condemning authority, and shall continue to perform and observe all of the other covenants, conditions and agreements of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant as though such taking had not occurred. In the event of any such temporary Condemnation, Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself any and all awards or

payments made for such use of that portion of the Premises so taken, unless the period of such temporary Condemnation shall extend beyond the date of expiration of this Lease, in which case the award made for such Taking shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of such expiration.

ARTICLE 14
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.1. Assignment. Except as provided in this Article 14, Tenant’s interest under this Lease may not be assigned without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If a dispute arises as to whether Landlord has unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed its consent under this Paragraph 14.1, the parties shall resolve such dispute pursuant to Paragraph 17.9. Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of Paragraph 14.4, no assignment shall alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rent or release Tenant of Tenant’s obligation to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder unless expressly provided in Landlord’s written consent. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof.

14.2. Sublease.

14.2.1. Tenant may sublease all or any portion of the Premises without the approval of Landlord unless such approval is required under Paragraph 14.2.3 below. Tenant shall provide Landlord with (i) written notice of any sublease or other occupancy agreement entered into by Tenant on or in the Premises (each, a “Sublease”), together with a copy of the executed Sublease, and (ii) evidence of the subtenant’s insurance, which shall include Landlord being named as an additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, on such insurance, within thirty (30) days following execution of a Sublease. No subletting shall alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rent or release Tenant of Tenant’s obligation to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder unless expressly provided in Landlord’s written consent. Tenant shall fulfill, perform and observe in all respects, at its own cost and expense, each and every obligation, condition and covenant of the sublandlord in each Sublease.

14.2.2. With regard to any Sublease other than that certain Lease (No. 84051-001) dated January 1, 2004, by and between Riverpoint Lots 1/3/5 LLC, as landlord, and the City of Phoenix, as tenant (the “Lift Station Lease”), so long as this Lease is in place, if the per square foot rate paid under such Sublease exceeds the per square foot rate of Fixed Rent, the excess sublease rents (after deducting any costs or expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such Sublease) shall be divided evenly between Tenant and Landlord, provided that, if a default exists and is continuing, Landlord shall have the right to receive amounts payable to Tenant under any Sublease (including the Lift Station Lease) and apply them toward any amounts due Landlord under this Lease (with any excess amounts received by Landlord under any Sublease being remitted by Landlord to Tenant). Except in the event of a default under this Lease, Tenant will be entitled to receive all rents payable under the Lift Station Lease, and unless this Lease expires or is terminated prior the expiration of the Lift Station Lease, Tenant will be responsible for

satisfying all obligations of Landlord under the Lift Station Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord Indemnified Parties harmless for, from and against any actions, suits, proceedings or claims, and all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection therewith, based upon or arising out of any breach or alleged breach of the Lift Station Lease or out of any other facts or circumstances connected with the Lift Station Lease occurring or alleged to have occurred during the Term of this Lease. Landlord covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Tenant Indemnified Parties harmless for, from and against any actions, suits, proceedings or claims, and all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection therewith, based upon or arising out of any breach or alleged breach of the Lift Station Lease or out of any other facts or circumstances connected with the Lift Station Lease occurring or alleged to have occurred following the Term of this Lease.

14.2.3. If Tenant subleases any part of the Premises or otherwise enters into any occupancy agreements during the Term, nothing in this Lease shall obligate Landlord to recognize the rights of, or to agree not to disturb, any subtenants or other parties in occupancy of the Premises unless Tenant requests that Landlord execute a non-disturbance and attornment agreement for such Sublease, in which case Landlord shall have the right to approve the Sublease and the form of the non-disturbance and attornment agreement, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If a dispute arises as to whether Landlord has unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed its consent under this Paragraph 14.2.3, the parties shall resolve such dispute pursuant to Paragraph 17.9.

14.3. Information. In connection with any proposed assignment or change of Control requiring Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in writing the name of the proposed assignee and such information as to the financial responsibility and standing of said assignee or new controlling party as Landlord may reasonably require.

14.4. Permitted Assignment. Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease without Landlord’s consent to an Affiliate or to a corporation or other business entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires substantially all of the assets of Tenant’s businesses as a going concern, provided that the assignee assumes in full the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall provide Landlord with (i) written notice thereof, together with a copy of the executed assignment and assumption, and (ii) evidence of the assignee’s insurance, which shall include Landlord being named as an additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, on such insurance. If Tenant proposes to assign to an assignee (including an Affiliate of the assignee) whose tangible net worth (combined with any proposed guarantor) at the time of assignment is not less than $800,000,000 or has a rating of BBB by Standard & Poor’s or an equivalent credit rating by a comparable credit rating agency, and if Landlord consents to such assignment, Tenant shall be released from all liability occurring from and after the effective date of the assignment.

14.5. Release of Landlord. Upon written notice from Landlord that it has conveyed its interest in the Premises and assigned its interest in the Lease and a copy of the written

assignment containing an assumption by the assignee of all obligations and liabilities of Landlord hereunder, Landlord shall thereafter be released from the further performance of covenants on the part of Landlord herein contained, and from any and all further liability, obligations, costs and expenses, demands, causes of action, claims or judgments arising from or growing out of, or connected with this Lease arising from and after the effective date of said release. Nothing herein shall release Landlord from any liability, obligation, cost or expense arising prior to the effective date of the release provided for herein.

ARTICLE 15
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

15.1. Tenant’s Defaults. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default or breach of this Lease by Tenant:

15.2. Landlord’s Remedies.

15.2.1. Pursuit of Remedies. In the event of any default or breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any other rights or remedies which it may have by reason of such default and breach, exercise all of its rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation:

15.2.1.1. Declaration of End of Term; Reentry and Repossession. The right to declare the Lease terminated and to reenter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons therefrom, in which event Tenant shall have no further claim in or to the Premises or under this Lease; or

15.2.1.2. Reentry and Repossession; Reletting. The right without declaring this Lease terminated to reenter the Premises, take possession thereof, remove all persons therefrom and occupy or lease the whole or any part thereof for and on account of Tenant and upon such terms and conditions that Landlord may determine in its sole but reasonable discretion, and to collect such rent or any other rent that may hereafter become payable and apply the same as provided in Paragraph 15.2.2 below; or

15.2.1.3. Termination After Reletting. The right, even though Landlord may have relet the Premises or brought an action to collect Rent and other charges without terminating this Lease, to thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and all of the rights of Tenant in or to the Premises; or

15.2.1.4. Action for Rent. The right, without terminating this Lease, to bring an action or actions to collect Rent and other charges hereunder which are from time to time past due and unpaid or to enforce any other provisions of this Lease imposing obligations on Tenant, it being understood that the bringing of any such action or actions shall not terminate this Lease unless written notice of termination is given.

15.2.1.5. Damages and Equitable Relief. The right to bring an action against Tenant for any damages sustained by Landlord or any equitable relief available to Landlord.

15.2.1.6. Personal Property. The right to seize all of Tenant’s personal property located at the Premises in which Landlord shall have a landlord’s lien, and to dispose thereof in accordance with the laws prevailing at the time and place

of such seizure or to remove all or any portion of such personal property and cause the same to be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at Tenant’s sole expense, without becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom and without resorting to legal or judicial process, procedure or action.

15.2.1.7. Self-Help. To immediately or at any time thereafter, at Landlord’s sole option but without any obligation to do so, correct such breach or default and charge Tenant all costs and expenses actually incurred by Landlord in connection therewith (including payment of costs including reasonable attorneys’ fees and charges in connection with any legal action which may have been considered or commenced). Any sum or sums so paid by Landlord, together with interest at the Default Rate, shall be deemed to be Rent hereunder and shall be due from Tenant to Landlord five (5) days following written notice to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to notify Tenant in advance of making any payment to (i) cure any delinquent taxes or assessments if such amount will result in the imposition of a lien against the Premises pursuant to Applicable Law or (ii) maintain in effect with respect to the Premises any insurance that Tenant is required to provide pursuant to Article 9. Any such acts by Landlord in correcting Tenant’s breaches or defaults hereunder shall not be deemed to cure said breaches or defaults or constitute any waiver of Landlord’s right to exercise any or all remedies set forth herein.

15.2.1.8. Costs and Expenses. The right to recover from Tenant all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, court costs, expert witness fees, costs of tests and analyses, travel and accommodation expenses, deposition and trial transcripts, copies and other similar costs and fees, paid or incurred by Landlord as a result of such breach, regardless of whether or not legal proceedings are actually commenced.

15.2.2. Application of Proceeds of Reletting. If Landlord relets the Premises under the provisions of Paragraph 15.2.1.2 above, the proceeds of any such reletting shall first be applied to the payment of the costs and expenses of reletting the Premises, including without limitation, reasonable brokerage commissions and alterations and repairs which are reasonably necessary for such reletting and to the payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the Tenant’s default, the retaking of the Premises and such reletting and, second, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than Rent, due hereunder. When such costs and expenses of reletting have been paid, and if there is no such indebtedness or such indebtedness has been paid, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the accruing Fixed Rent for the net amount of rental received from such reletting each month during the unexpired balance of the Term, and, if necessary, Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly on the first day of each month as specified herein such sums as may be required to make up the Rent provided for in this Lease.

15.2.3. Damages. In the event of termination or retaking of possession following default, Landlord shall be entitled to recover immediately, without waiting until the due

date of any Rent or until the date fixed for expiration of the Term, the following amounts as damages:

15.2.3.1. Lost Rent Prior to Reletting. The loss of rental from the date of default until a new tenant is, or with the exercise of reasonable efforts could have been, secured and paying rent, calculated as follows:

(i) The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination and until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided.

As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the rate of 10% per annum. As used in subparagraph (iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve at the time of award. Notwithstanding the foregoing recovery rights, in no event shall Landlord’s claim for damages in the event of termination exceed the amount expressly permitted by Arizona law.

15.2.3.2. Costs of Reletting. The reasonable costs of reentry and reletting including without limitation the reasonable cost of any cleanup, refurbishing, removal of Tenant’s property and fixtures, or any other expense occasioned by Tenant’s default including but not limited to, reasonable remodeling or repair costs, attorney fees, court costs, broker commissions, and advertising costs.

15.2.4. Remedies Cumulative. All rights, options, elections, powers and remedies of Landlord under the provisions of this Lease are cumulative of each other and of every other right, option, election, power or remedy which Landlord may otherwise have at law or in equity and all or any of which Landlord is hereby authorized to exercise. The exercise of one or more rights, options, elections, powers or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies Landlord may have upon a breach and default under this Lease and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Landlord’s rights or remedies thereupon or to be a release of Tenant from Tenant’s obligations thereon unless such waiver or release is expressed in writing and signed by Landlord.

15.3. Landlord’s Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Landlord:

15.3.1. Failure to Make Payments When Due. The failure by Landlord to make any payment required to be made by Landlord hereunder, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord; or

15.3.2. Failure to Perform Other Obligations. The failure by Landlord to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Landlord, other than those described in Paragraph 15.3.1 above, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s default is such that it is capable of being cured but more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if Landlord commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

15.4. Tenant’s Remedies.

15.4.1. Pursuit of Remedies. In the event of any default and breach by Landlord of any of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant may at Tenant’s option and without limiting Tenant in the exercise of any other rights or remedies which it may have by reason of such default and breach, exercise all of its rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation:

15.4.1.1. Action for Payments Due. The right, without terminating this Lease, to bring an action or actions to collect payments hereunder, including any costs to Tenant as a result of such default, which are from time to time past due and unpaid or to enforce any other provisions of this Lease imposing obligations on Landlord, it being understood that the bringing of any such action or actions shall not terminate this Lease; or

15.4.1.2. Self-Help. In the event of a material default impacting Tenant’s use of the Premises, the right to make such payments and cure such defaults on behalf of Landlord and, in connection therewith, do all work and make all payments deemed necessary or appropriate by Tenant (including payment of costs including reasonable attorneys’ fees and charges in connection with any legal action which may have been considered or commenced), and all sums so expended by Tenant together with interest at the Default Rate from the date of Tenant’s original default notice shall be immediately due and payable by Landlord.

15.4.1.3. Damages; Equitable Relief. The right to recover damages or sue for specific performance or injunctive relief.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not have any right of offset if it makes a payment on behalf of Landlord or is otherwise owed any amount on behalf of Landlord.

15.4.2. Remedies Cumulative. All rights, options, elections, powers and remedies of Tenant under the provisions of this Lease are cumulative of each other and of every other right, option, election, power or remedy which Tenant may otherwise have at law or in equity (except as expressly limited in this Lease) and all or any of which Tenant is hereby authorized to exercise. The exercise of one or more rights, options, elections, powers or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies Tenant may have upon a breach and default under this Lease and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Tenant’s rights or remedies thereupon or to be a release of Landlord from Landlord’s obligations thereon unless such waiver or release is expressed in writing and signed by Tenant.

15.5. Default Interest; Late Charge.

15.5.1. Default Interest. The parties hereby acknowledge that late payment of sums due hereunder will cause the other party to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sum payable by either party shall not be paid when due such sum shall bear interest from the date due until paid at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or if JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. no longer announces a prime rate, another similar financial institution designated by Landlord) then in effect plus three percent (3%) (the “Default Rate”), but in no event less than 12% per annum.

15.5.2. Late Charge. If any Fixed Rent or any other amount due hereunder is not received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to three percent (3%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs the party to receive payment will incur by reason of the late payment.

15.5.3. Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, before assessing any late charge or interest at the Default Rate, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of non-payment and five (5) business days from receipt of such notice to cure any such non-payment, provided Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant such notice of non-payment more than twice in any calendar year.

15.6. Lender’s Right to Cure. If Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of Assignment of Rents and Leases or otherwise) of the address of the holder of any mortgagee or trust deed holder, Tenant agrees to give such holder a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord.

Subject to Paragraph 17.1.4 below, this Lease, at Landlord’s option, shall be subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the Premises or any part or parts thereof, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. If any present or future mortgagee or trustee shall at any time elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage or deed of trust and written notice of such election shall be given to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage or deed of trust whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage or deed of trust or the date of recording thereof.

17.1.2. Execution of Subordination Agreements. Tenant agrees to execute any documents reasonably required to effectuate such subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust, as the case may be; provided that such documents contain the non-disturbance language described in Paragraph 17.1.4below.

17.1.3. Attornment. Tenant shall, in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by the Landlord, its successors or assigns, encumbering the Premises, or any part thereof, attorn to the purchaser upon such foreclosure or sale or upon any grant of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and shall recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease.

17.1.4. Non-Disturbance. At the execution of this Lease, Landlord represents that there is no holder of a lien of any kind on the Premises that is superior to this Lease (including, without limitation, any landlord under a ground lease) other than any lien identified in a separate subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement signed by Lessee. If Tenant is hereafter required to subordinate its interests under this Lease to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust or to any lienholder in the future, Tenant’s obligation to subordinate its interests is conditioned upon any such lienholder or prospective lienholder providing Tenant with a commercially reasonable non-disturbance

agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, which, in substance, agrees that so long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease, its tenancy for the use and purposes herein described and all rights granted to Tenant hereunder will not be disturbed and will remain in full force and effect throughout the term of this Lease and any extensions thereof.

17.2. Landlord’s Access. Upon reasonable advance notice (except in the event of an emergency), Landlord and Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the same, showing the same to prospective purchasers or lenders, and exercising its rights under this Lease. In entering the Premises in situations other than an emergency, Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with or disruption of the operations of Tenant or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord’s entry onto the Premises or other exercise of its rights under this Lease interferes with Tenant and such interference causes a material adverse impact on Tenant’s operations at, use or enjoyment of the Premises and such impact continues beyond forty-eight (48) hours, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of Rent for such period of time as the interference continues, unless such entry is during an emergency.

17.3. Estoppel Certificates. Each party (the “Certifying Party”) shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from the other party (for purposes of this Paragraph, the “Requesting Party”) execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Requesting Party a statement in writing 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) and the date to which the Fixed Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and acknowledging that there are not, to the Certifying Party’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the Requesting Party hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any person to whom it shall be delivered by the Requesting Party, including any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises, or any part thereof. The Certifying Party’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon the Certifying Party that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by the Requesting Party, that there are no uncured defaults in the Requesting Party’s performance; and that not more than one month’s Fixed Rent has been paid in advance. If more than one estoppel certificate is requested in any calendar year, the Requesting Party shall reimburse the Certifying Party upon demand therefor for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Certifying Party in connection with its review of any statement provided pursuant this Paragraph, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

17.4. Holding Over. Any holdover by Tenant beyond the scheduled termination of this Lease with the consent of Landlord, shall create a month-to-month tenancy at one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the then current Rent. Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall be construed to grant Tenant the right to holdover without the express written consent of Landlord.

17.5. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represent warrant to the other that neither has dealt with any real estate broker or agent in connection with this Lease or its negotiation other than William J. Swirtz, whose fees and commissions, if any, shall be paid by Tenant.

Landlord and Tenant each agree to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless for, from and against any cost, expense or liability (including attorneys’ fees) for any compensation, commission or fees claimed by any real estate broker or agent as a result of the action of the indemnifying party. This indemnity shall survive the expiration or prior termination of this Lease.

17.6. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder must be in writing and given (i) by personal delivery, (ii) delivery by United States Postal Service certified mail, with postage prepaid and return receipt required, or (iii) delivery by a reputable overnight courier to the address set forth in Article 1. Notices shall be deemed to have been given when received or two (2) business days after mailing, whichever is earlier. Either party may change the address to which notices shall be sent by written notice given in accordance herewith.

17.7. Waivers. No waiver by either party of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by the other of the same or any other provision. Either party’s consent to or approval of any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of that party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by the other. The acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.

17.8. Reasonable Conduct and Consent. Whether or not specifically stated in a provision of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall, at all times, perform their duties and obligations under this Lease in a reasonable and prudent fashion consistent with the efficient operation of Landlord and Tenant’s businesses and in accordance with accepted industry practices with respect to office building management and operation. It is the parties’ intent that all Lease provisions shall be reasonably and equitably enforced in a prudent manner consistent with the customs and practices observed by landlords and tenants in other first-class office buildings in the metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona area. Unless specifically stated otherwise herein, whenever consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant is required under the terms of this Lease, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and any dispute as to whether a party has been reasonable in withholding its consent or approval shall be resolved in accordance with Paragraph 17.9. If either party withholds any consent or approval, such party shall, on written request, deliver to the other party a written statement giving the reasons therefor. It is understood and agreed that to the extent Landlord is required to obtain the consent, approval, agreement or waiver of Landlord’s lender with respect to a matter for which Landlord’s approval has been requested under this Lease, Landlord shall in no event be deemed to have unreasonably withheld Landlord’s consent, approval, agreement or waiver thereof if such lender shall not have given its approval if required.

17.9. Dispute Resolution. As to any dispute which is subject to resolution pursuant to this Paragraph 17.9, such matter will be resolved by arbitration held in Phoenix, Arizona under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the Phoenix, Arizona office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) by a single independent arbitrator who has experience and qualifications appropriate to resolve the matter in dispute. If the parties are unable to mutually agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) days following written notice by either party of a dispute which is

subject to arbitration, the arbitrator shall be selected by AAA. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on both parties, subject to appeal in a U.S. District Court or state court having jurisdiction only on the grounds specified in the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. The prevailing party in the arbitration (as determined by the arbitrator) shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in the resolution of said dispute. Any disputes not expressly made subject to this Paragraph 17.9 shall not be resolved by arbitration unless expressly agreed to by both parties.

17.10. Document Review. If either party (for purposes of this Paragraph, the “Requesting Party”) makes any request upon the other party (the “Reviewing Party”) requiring such party or the attorneys of Landlord to review and/or prepare (or cause to be reviewed and/or prepared) any documents, plans, specifications or other submissions in connection with or arising out of this Lease (other than estoppel certificates, which are addressed in Paragraph 17.3 and non-disturbance agreements in the event of any financing by Landlord), then the Requesting Party shall reimburse the Reviewing Party upon demand therefor for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Reviewing Party in connection with such review and/or preparation, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

17.11. Attorneys’ Fees. If either party brings an action, suit, arbitration, or proceeding to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights under this Lease, the prevailing party in the final adjudication of any such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to its costs and expenses of suit, including, without limitation, its actual attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the court. For purposes of this Paragraph 17.10, a party will be considered to be the “successful party” if (a) such party initiated the litigation and substantially obtained the relief which it sought (whether by judgment, voluntary agreement or action of the other party, trial, or alternative dispute resolution process), (b) such party did not initiate the litigation and either (i) received a judgment in its favor, or (ii) did not receive judgment in its favor, but the party receiving the judgment did not substantially obtain the relief which it sought, or (c) the other party to the litigation withdrew its claim or action without having substantially received the relief which it was seeking.

17.12. Authority. Any individual executing this Lease on behalf of either party is authorized to do so by requisite action of the appropriate board, partnership, or other entity, as the case may be. Upon written request from one party, the other will deliver a copy of the resolution or other document evidencing such authority.

17.13. Construction. Paragraph captions are solely for the convenience of the parties and shall not be deemed to or be used to define, construe, or limit the terms hereof. As used in this Lease, the masculine, feminine and neuter genders shall be deemed to include the others, and the singular number shall be deemed to include the plural, whenever the context so requires. The invalidity of any provisions of this Lease as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the state of Arizona, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. The terms of this agreement have been negotiated and shall not be construed for or against any party.

17.14. Binding Effect. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting assignment or subletting by Tenant, this Lease shall bind the parties and their personal representatives, successors and assigns.

17.15. W-9. Promptly upon execution of this Lease and prior to the payment of any installment of Rent, Landlord shall deliver an executed W-9 taxpayer identification number and certification form to Tenant.

17.16. Severability. The unenforceability, invalidity, or illegality of any provision of this Lease shall not render the other provisions unenforceable, invalid or illegal, but such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision enforceable.

17.17. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its provisions.

17.18. Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Lease.

17.19. Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease contains all agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective. This Lease may be modified in writing only, which writing shall be signed by the parties in interest at the time of the modification.

17.20. Force Majeure. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant for delays on account of the inability of Landlord to fulfill, or delay in fulfilling, any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease by reason of strike, other labor trouble, governmental preemption of priorities or other controls in connection with a national or other public emergency, or shortages of fuel, supplies or labor resulting therefrom or any other cause, similar to the above, beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”). If this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of Landlord, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in Landlord’s performance caused by a Force Majeure Event. If Landlord intends to assert a delay as a result of any Force Majeure Event, Landlord shall notify Tenant of such Force Majeure Event in writing within ten (10) days of such event.

17.21. CC&Rs. During the Term of this Lease, Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall have the exclusive right to exercise any and all of Landlord’s rights and privileges as an “Owner” or “Declarant” under the CC&Rs”, including, but not limited to, Landlord’s rights as an “Owner” related to the establishment of an organization, association or other entity for the purpose of acting as “Approving Agent” and/or “Operator”. The capitalized terms in the preceding sentence shall have the meanings set forth in the CC&Rs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Tenant shall not execute any documents or instruments pursuant to the CC&Rs modifying, terminating or waiving any provision of the CC&Rs without Landlord’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with copies

of any written consents or approvals granted by Tenant under the CC&Rs or other written correspondence issued or received by Tenant in its capacity as “Approving Agent” and/or “Operator” under the CC&Rs.

ARTICLE 18
EXCULPATION OF LANDLORD

Except for claims which may be covered by insurance or condemnation proceeds payable to Landlord, if Tenant or an officer, director, agent or employee of Tenant (each a “Tenant Party”) shall recover a money judgment against Landlord, the Tenant Party agrees that such money judgment shall be satisfied solely by Landlord’s interest in the Premises, as the same may then be encumbered, and Landlord, its affiliates, partners, officers, directors, shareholders, and employees shall not be liable otherwise for any other claim arising out of or related to this Lease; provided that Landlord maintains at least a $10,000,000 equity interest in the Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 18 to the contrary, the foregoing provision shall not limit Tenant’s ability to seek injunctive relief or specific performance of this Lease or Tenant’s right to recover any insurance or condemnation proceeds. Neither Landlord nor any partner, director, shareholder, officer, member, manager, agent, representative or employee (each a “Landlord Party”) of Landlord shall be liable (i) for any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in or about the Premises, or caused by quasi-public work unless such damages are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Party; or (ii) for consequential damages arising out of any loss of the use of the Premises or any equipment or facilities therein by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant.

ARTICLE 19
DAMAGE TO TENANT’S PROPERTY

Neither Landlord nor any Landlord Party shall be liable for (i) loss or damage to any property by theft or otherwise, (ii) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Structures or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing work therein or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other place or resulting from dampness, or any other cause whatsoever, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Party. Neither Landlord nor any Landlord Party shall be liable for (a) interference with light or other incorporeal hereditaments, or (b) any latent defect in the Premises. Tenant shall give immediate notice to Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Premises, or defects therein or in the fixtures or equipment.

ARTICLE 20
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

20.1. Limitations. In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Tenant agrees that, in the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default of this Lease by Landlord, no writ of execution will ever be levied against the assets of any Landlord Party.

20.2. No Required Obligation. The obligations of Landlord under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of any Landlord Party, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against

any such Landlord Party or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability in respect to this Lease. The covenants and agreements set forth in this Article are enforceable both by Landlord and also by any Landlord Party.

ARTICLE 21
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

21.1. Financial Statements. If Tenant is not required to file quarterly and annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, then Tenant shall submit to Landlord, either in print or in electronic form, the following financial statements, all of which must be prepared in accordance with GAAP: (i) for each of the first three fiscal quarters of a fiscal year of Tenant during the Term, unaudited quarterly financial statements for Tenant, within seventy-five (75) days after the end of the applicable fiscal quarter of Tenant; and (ii) annual financial statements for Tenant audited by an independent certified public accountant, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the applicable fiscal year of Tenant.

ARTICLE 22
LEASE CHARACTERIZATION

22.1. Intent of the Parties. Landlord and Tenant intend that:

(i) this Lease is a “true lease” and not a financing lease, mortgage, equitable mortgage, deed of trust, trust agreement, security agreement or other financing or trust arrangement, and the economic realities of this Lease are those of a true lease; and

(ii) the business relationship created by this Lease and any related documents is solely that of a long-term commercial lease between landlord and tenant and has been entered into by both parties in reliance upon the economic and legal bargains contained herein.

22.2. Waiver. Each party waives any claim or defense based upon the characterization of this Lease as anything other than a true lease and irrevocably waives any claim or defense which asserts that this Lease is anything other than a true lease. Each party covenants and agrees that it will not assert that this Lease is anything but a true lease. Nothing contained in this Lease creates or is intended to create a joint venture, partnership (either de jure or de facto), equitable mortgage, trust, financing device or arrangement, security interest or the like.

22.3. Material Inducement. The expressions of intent and the waivers, set forth in this Article 22 are a material inducement to Landlord and Tenant entering into this Lease.

ARTICLE 23
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

23.1. Grant of Right of First Offer. Provided that no event of default exists or has occurred and is continuing, if Landlord shall desire to sell or convey all or any portion of the Premises (the “Offered Property”) to a third party that is not an Affiliate of Landlord, then

Landlord shall first give Tenant the right to purchase the Offered Property for a price and on terms and conditions determined by Landlord and set forth in a notice given to Tenant (the “Offer”). Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the Offer within which to elect to purchase the Offered Property on the precise terms and conditions of the Offer (except that if the Offer shall be in whole or in part for consideration other than cash, Tenant shall have the right to pay in cash the fair market value of such noncash consideration). If Tenant elects to so purchase the Offered Property, Tenant shall give to Landlord written notice thereof (“Acceptance Notice”) and the closing shall be held within thirty (30) days after the date of the Acceptance Notice or such longer period of time as is set forth in the Offer, whereupon Landlord shall convey the Offered Property to Tenant. At the closing, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a special warranty deed (or local equivalent) sufficient to convey to Tenant fee simple title to the Offered Property free and clear of all easements, rights-of-way, encumbrances, liens, covenants, conditions, restrictions, obligations and liabilities, except for any such matters in effect upon the transfer of the Offered Property by Tenant to Landlord, such matters created, suffered or consented to in writing by Tenant or arising by reason of the failure of Tenant to have observed or performed any term, covenant or agreement of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, and the lien of any taxes or assessments then affecting the Premises; provided, however that if the Offer contemplates that the Offered Property is to be conveyed subject to any existing financing then the Offered Property shall be conveyed subject to the mortgage or deed of trust securing such financing unless Tenant elects to pay off such financing in accordance with the terms of the applicable loan documents. At the closing, this Lease shall terminate as to the Offered Property and if the Offered Property is less than the entire Premises then the Fixed Rent shall be adjusted to reflect any reduction in the rentable square footage of the Premises. If Tenant does not timely elect to purchase the Offered Property, Landlord shall be free to sell the Premises to any other Person within twelve (12) months of Tenant’s rejection or deemed rejection without being required to comply again with the foregoing provisions of this Section, provided that, if Landlord intends to sell the Offered Property (i) after such twelve (12) month period, or (ii) within such twelve (12) month period at a price less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the price described in the Offer, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice, setting forth the applicable purchase price and terms and conditions, and Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days to elect in writing to purchase the Offered Property at such purchase price and on such terms and conditions. The right of first offer granted by this Section shall not survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

23.2. Excluded Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant’s right of first offer shall not apply to (i) any transfer of the Premises or any portion thereof to an Affiliate of Landlord, (ii) any sale or conveyance of the Premises or any portion thereof in foreclosure sale (or similar proceeding) of a bona fide mortgage or deed of trust or to any conveyance in lieu of foreclosure of such bona fide mortgage or deed of trust, or (iii) any sale, conveyance, alienation, mortgage, encumbrance, pledge or transfer of the beneficial ownership interest, membership interest or other equity interest in Landlord, or the change of the trustee, manager or other controlling person of the Landlord.
