A. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Base Monthly Rent is not payable during the first three (3) months of the Lease Term (the “Base Rent Abatement Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall have the option (the “Lump Sum Payment Option”) to require Tenant to pay Base Monthly Rent for so much of the Base Rent Abatement Period as remains following Landlord’s notice as hereinafter provided at the rate of $26,589.60 per month for Base Monthly Rent beginning on the date (the “Base Monthly Rent Start Date”) set forth in the Lump Sum Payment Option Notice (defined below), which shall in no event be a date prior to payment to Tenant of the Abated Rent Lump Sum Payment (defined below). To exercise the Lump Sum Payment Option, Landlord must (i) provide written notice to Tenant of such exercise (the “Lump Sum Payment Option Notice”) and (ii) pay to Tenant the Base Monthly Rent that would be payable for the remaining Base Rent Abatement Period at the rate of $26,589.60 per month (the “Abated Rent Lump Sum Payment”). If Landlord elects its Lump Sum Payment Option, the Abated Rent Lump Sum Payment shall be made, at Landlord’s election (a) within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of the Lump Sum Payment Option Notice, or (b) on the closing date of any financing or sale of the Building by Landlord (the date of such payment is hereinafter referred to as the “Lump Sum Payment Date”). If Landlord fails to pay the Abated Rent Lump Sum Payment by the Lump Sum Payment Date or the financing or sale transaction for the Building, if applicable, expires or is terminated or deemed null and void for any reason, Landlord’s exercise of the Lump Sum Payment Option shall be deemed null and void and of no further force or effect and the Abated Rent Lump Sum Payment, if theretofore paid by Landlord to Tenant, shall promptly be returned by Tenant to Landlord. If the Base Monthly Rent Start Dale is effective on a day other than the first day of a calendar month and Landlord has then paid the Abated Rent Lump Sum Payment, then Tenant shall pay any Base Monthly Rent payable hereunder for the period from the Base Monthly Rent Start Date through the last day of the calendar month, with the next installment of Base Monthly Rent due for the following calendar month.

B. If Landlord exercises its Lump Sum Payment Option in accordance with the above paragraph, Landlord shall prepare an amendment in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Lump Sum Payment Amendment”) that documents the effect of Landlord’s exercise of the Lump Sum Payment Option and sets forth a revised rent schedule reflecting Tenant’s payment of the Base Monthly Rent for the remaining Base Rent Abatement Period following the Lump Sum Payment Option Notice. A copy of the Lump Sum Payment Amendment shall be sent to Tenant and Tenant shall execute and return the Lump Sum Payment Amendment to Landlord within ten (10) business days thereafter, but Landlord’s otherwise valid exercise of the Lump Sum Payment Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Lump Sum Payment Amendment is executed.

3.2 Additional Rent: All payments due hereunder from Tenant shall be deemed Additional Rent.

3.3 Payment of Rent: The Base Monthly Rent shall be paid in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term.

If prorated at the commencement, and the Lease Summary Information Sheet does not set forth one full month’s rent plus the first partial month’s rent, Tenant, on the first day of the first complete month following the Commencement Date, shall pay the balance of the first partial month as well as the first complete month.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on such monetary obligation at the maximum legal interest rate allowed by law between contracting parties.

3.5 Security Deposit: Landlord may apply such portion or portions of the Security Deposit as are reasonably necessary for the following purposes: (a) to remedy any default by Tenant in the payment of rent; (b) to repair damage to the Leased Premises caused by Tenant; (c) to clean the Leased Premises upon termination of the Lease, and (d) to remedy any other default of Tenant as permitted by law. Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any restriction on the uses to which the Security Deposit may be put contained in California Civil Code Section 1950.7 or any similar or successor law. 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. 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. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1950.7 (or any similar or successor law) which would require Landlord to return the Security Deposit within thirty (30) days after recovery of possession, and the parties agree that Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant (or the portion thereof that Tenant may then be entitled to) within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s determination of the final reconciliation of Common Operating Expenses pursuant to the terms of Section 6.3 below. Further, Tenant agrees that Landlord may, prior to returning the Security Deposit to Tenant, deduct from the Security Deposit any amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord in connection with such final reconciliation of Common Operating Expenses.

ARTICLE 14

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.1 By Tenant: The following provisions shall apply to any assignment, subletting or other transfer by Tenant or any subtenant or assignee or other successor in interest of the original Tenant (collectively referred to in this paragraph as ‘‘Tenant”):

A. Tenant shall not do any of the following (collectively referred to herein as “Transfer”), whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld: (i) assign or otherwise transfer its interest in this Lease or in the Leased Premises; (ii) sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises or allow it to be sublet, occupied, or used by any person or entity other than Tenant; (iii) transfer any right appurtenant to this Lease or the Leased Premises; (iv) mortgage or encumber the Lease (or otherwise use the Lease as a security device) in any manner, or (v) terminate or materially amend or modify an assignment, sublease or other transfer that has been previously approved by Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for al! reasonable costs and attorney’s fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the processing and/or documentation of any requested Transfer, whether or not Landlord’s consent is granted. Any Transfer so approved by Landlord shall not be effective until Tenant has paid all such costs and attorneys’ fees to Landlord and delivered to Landlord an executed counterpart of the document evidencing the Transfer which (i) is in form approved by Landlord, (ii) contains the same terms and conditions as stated in Tenant s notice given to Landlord pursuant to subparagraph B, below, and (iii) contains the agreement of the proposed Transferee to assume all obligations of Tenant related to the Transfer arising after the effective date of such Transfer and to remain jointly and severally liable therefor with Tenant. Any attempted Transfer without Landlord’s consent shall constitute a default by Tenant and shall be voidable at Landlord’s option. Landlord’s consent to any one Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of the provisions of this paragraph as to any subsequent transfer nor a consent to any subsequent Transfer. No Transfer, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay the rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease nor to be a consent to any Transfer.

B. Tenant shall give Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any desired Transfer and of the proposed terms of such Transfer including but not limited to (i) the name and legal composition of the proposed Transferee; (ii) an audited financial statement, if available, or an unaudited financial statement if an audited statement is not available, of the Transferee prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for a period ending not more than one year prior to the proposed effective date of the Transfer, (iii) the nature of the proposed Transferee’s business to be carried on in the Leased Premises; (iv) all consideration to be given on account of the Transfer, (v) a current financial statement of Tenant and (vi) such other information as may be requested by Landlord. Tenant’s notice shall not be deemed to have been served or given until such time as Tenant has provided Landlord with all information required by this subparagraph.

16

C. In the event that Tenant seeks to make any Transfer. Landlord shall have the right to withhold its consent to such Transfer, as permitted pursuant to this Article, or to exercise any of the rights set forth in this subparagraph, by giving Tenant written notice of its election within thirty (30) days after Tenant s notice of intent to Transfer has been given to Landlord. Without otherwise limiting the criteria upon which Landlord may withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer, Landlord may withhold its consent where the proposed Transferee’s net worth (according to generally accepted accounting principles) is, in Landlord’s sole but reasonable discretion, insufficient to satisfy all remaining debts and liabilities that may become due and owing in connection with this Lease from and after the effective date of the Transfer. The following rights are in addition to Landlord’s consent rights and may be exercised by Landlord in its sole discretion without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any other right or remedy which Landlord may have.

(1) Landlord may recapture the subject space. If such recapture notice is given, it shall serve to terminate this Lease with respect to the proposed space, or, if the proposed space covers all the Leased Premises, it shall serve to terminate the entire Term of this Lease. However, no termination of this Lease with respect to part or all of the Leased Premises shall become effective without the prior written consent, where necessary, of the holder of each deed of trust encumbering the Leased Premises. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent shall be adjusted on the basis of the proportion of rentable square feet retained by Tenant to the rentable square feet originally demised and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect.

(2) If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto, Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly, as Additional Rent, at the same time as the monthly installments of Rent arc payable hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Premium. The term “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent and other consideration payable by such Transferee which either initially or over the term of the Transfer exceeds the Rent or pro rata portion of the Rent, as the case may be, for such space reserved in the Lease.

D. If Tenant is a corporation or limited liability company, any dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or transfer in the aggregate over the Lease Term of a controlling percentage of the capital stock or membership interests of Tenant, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to a corporation the capital stock of which is publicly traded. The phrase “controlling percentage’’ includes, but is not limited to, the ownership of and the right to vote stock or membership interests possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant’s capital stock or memberships interests issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors. If Tenant is a partnership, any withdrawal or substitution (whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law and whether occurring at one time or over a period of time) of any partners) owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more (cumulatively) of any interest in the capita] or profits of the partnership, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant s interest in this Lease. In the event of a transaction covered by the terms of this Subsection D, the transferee or assignee (or the parent of the company into which Tenant is merged or which mergers into Tenant) shall assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

E. Tenant irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent or other consideration not otherwise payable to Landlord by reason of any Transfer. Landlord, as assignee of Tenant, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application, may collect such rent or other consideration and apply it toward Tenant’s obligation under this Lease, provided, however, that until occurrence of any default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent or other consideration,

17

14.2 By Landlord: Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer their interest in the Leased Premises and the Property 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 dale of such transfer, shall be automatically relieved, without any further act by any other person or entity, of all liability under this Lease.

ARTICLE 15

9. Insurance: Prior to Tenant’s entry into the Expansion Premises for any reason, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate of insurance evidencing that the Expansion Premises are included within and covered by Tenant’s insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the Lease.

10. California Disability Compliance: Pursuant to California Civil Code § 1938, Landlord hereby states that the Expansion Premises have not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (“CASp”) (defined in California Civil Code § 55.52). Landlord hereby discloses pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938 as follows: “A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant.

The terms, conditions and provisions of this Addendum 1 are hereby incorporated into and are made a part of the Lease Amendment. Any capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms as set forth in the Lease Amendment.

1. Grant of Extension Option. Subject to the provisions, limitations and conditions set forth in Section 5 below, Tenant shall have an option (“Option”) to further extend the term of the Lease for three (3) years (the “Extended Term”).

2. Tenant’s Option Notice. Tenant shall have the right to deliver written notice to Landlord of its intent to exercise this Option (the “Option Notice”), which exercise shall be irrevocable. If Landlord does not receive the Option Notice from Tenant by the date that is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then current Lease Term, all rights under this Option shall automatically terminate and shall be of no further force or effect. Upon the proper exercise of this Option, subject to the provisions, limitations and conditions set forth in Paragraph 5 below, the initial term of the Lease shall be extended for the Extended Term.

3. Establishing the Initial Base Monthly Rent for the Extended Term. The initial Base Monthly Rent for the Extended Term shall be equal to the then Fair Market Rental Rate, as hereinafter defined. As used herein, the “Fair Market Rental Rate” payable by Tenant for the Extended Term shall mean the Base Rent for the highest and best use for comparable space at which non-equity tenants, as of the commencement of the lease term for the Extended Term, will be leasing non-sublease, non-equity, unencumbered space comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises for a comparable term, which comparable space is located in the Building and in other comparable first-class buildings in the vicinity of the Building, taking into consideration the condition and value of existing tenant improvements in the Premises. The Fair Market Rental Rate shall include the periodic rental increases that would be included for space leased for the period of the Extended Term.

If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Extended Term within ten (10) days of receipt by Landlord of the Option Notice for the Extended Term, Landlord and Tenant each, at its cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall appoint a competent and impartial commercial real estate broker (hereinafter “broker”) with at least five (5) years’ full-time commercial real estate brokerage experience in the geographical area of the Premises to set the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Extended Term. If either Landlord or Tenant does not appoint a broker within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its broker, the single broker appointed shall be the sole broker and shall set the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Extended Term. If two (2) brokers are appointed by Landlord and Tenant as stated in this paragraph, they shall meet promptly and attempt to set the Fair Market Rental Rate. In addition, if either of the first two (2) brokers fails to submit their opinion of the Fair Market Rental Rate within the time frames set forth below, then the single Fair Market Rental Rate submitted shall automatically be the initial Base Monthly Rent for the Extended Term and shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If the two (2) brokers are unable to agree within ten (10) days after the second broker has been appointed, they shall attempt to select a third broker, meeting the qualifications stated in this paragraph within ten (10) days after the last day the two (2) brokers are given to set the Fair Market Rental Rate. If the two (2) brokers are unable to agree on the third broker, either Landlord or Tenant by giving ten (10) days’ written notice to the other party, can apply to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the county in which the Premises is located for the selection of a third broker who meets the qualifications stated in this paragraph. Landlord and Tenant each shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of appointing the third broker and of paying the third broker’s fee. The third broker, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either Landlord or Tenant. Within fifteen (15) days after the selection of the third broker, the third broker shall select one of the two Fair Market Rental Rates submitted by the first two brokers as the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Extended Term. The determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate by the third broker shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

1

Upon determination of the initial Base Monthly Rent for the Extended Term pursuant to the terms outlined above, Landlord and Tenant shall immediately execute an amendment to the Lease setting forth the initial Base Monthly Rent for the Extended Term and the actual commencement date and expiration date of the Extended Term. Tenant shall have no other right to further extend the initial term of the Lease under this Addendum unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise expressly agree in writing.

4. Condition of Premises and Brokerage Commissions for the Extended Term. If Tenant timely and properly exercises this Option, in strict accordance with the terms contained herein: (1) Tenant shall accept the Premises in its then “As-Is” condition and, accordingly, Landlord shall not be required to perform any additional improvements to the Premises; and (2) Landlord shall in no event or circumstance be responsible for the payment of any commissions and fees to any broker of Tenant, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord free and harmless against any liability, claim judgment, or damages with respect thereto, including attorneys’ fees and costs.

5. Limitations On, and Conditions To, Extension Option. This Option is personal to Tenant and may not be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, separate from or as part of the Lease. At Landlord’s option, all rights of Tenant under this Option shall terminate and be of no force or effect if any of the following individual events occur or any combination thereof occur: (1) Tenant has been in default at any time during the initial term of the Lease, or is in default of any provision of the Lease on the date Landlord receives the Option Notice or at any time prior to the commencement of the Extended Term (it being agreed that a default by Tenant under the Lease following Tenant’s delivery of the Option Notice and prior to the commencement of the Extended Term shall result in the Landlord having the right to declare Tenant’s exercise of the Option null and void); and/or (2) Tenant has assigned its rights and obligations under all or part of the Lease or Tenant has subleased all or part of the Premises; and/or (3) Tenant has failed to exercise properly this Option in a timely manner in strict accordance with the provisions of this Addendum; and/or (4) if the Lease has been terminated earlier, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease.

6. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every time period set forth in this Addendum.
