For purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Year” shall mean each consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Term, with the first (1st) Lease Year commencing on the Commencement Date; however, (a) if the Commencement Date falls on a day other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month, the first (1st) Lease Year shall end on the last day of the eleventh (11^th) month after the Commencement Date and the second (2nd) and each succeeding Lease Year shall commence on the first (1st) day of the next calendar month, and (b) the last Lease Year shall end on the Expiration Date. If Landlord does not deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for its failure to do so, and such failure shall not affect the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant hereunder, provided however that the Commencement Date shall be amended to the date the Premises are in fact delivered, and any Monthly Basic Rental shall abate and not be due by Tenant until delivery occurs. Landlord and Tenant agree to the number of square feet specified in Article 1.8. of the Basic Lease Provisions. Landlord will de liver to Tenant no less than three (3) days prior to the proposed occupancy date the Commencement Letter in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit “C”, which Tenant shall counter-execute and return to Landlord within five (5) days of receipt thereof, if acceptable, or within five (5) days of receipt thereof provide a response to the Commencement Letter with details of the deficiency of the Premise (the “ Deficiency Letter”). Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver the Commencement Letter, or provide a timely Deficiency Letter shall constitute acknowledgment by Tenant that the statements included in the Commencement Letter are true and correct, without exception.

Landlord shall make those repairs, alterations and additions, if any, to the Leased Premises described in Exhibit “D” attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes (the “Landlord’s Work”) upon the terms and conditions contained in Exhibit “D”. The parties acknowledge that as of the date of execution of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant have not yet agreed on final design, plans and specifications for Landlord’s Work. Land lord and Tenant shall diligently work in good faith to agree on the final design, plans and specifications for Landlord’s Work within a reasonable period after the Effective Date, at which time the parties shall update Exhibit “D” to this Lease to reflect the agreed upon design, plans and specifications for Landlord’s Work. All work and installation and materials shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner, and shall be free of all liens, charges and other claims by any suppliers, laborers or materialmen. Landlord shall diligently pursue completion of Landlord’s Work and de liver the Leased Premises to the Tenant in a timely manner. Landlord shall be responsible for the first $25.00 per rentable square feet or Two Hundred Twenty-Three Thousand Six Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($223,650.00) (“Work Allowance”) of the hard and soft costs relating to the design and construction of Landlord’s Work.

Tenant’s access to the Premises at any time prior to the Commencement Date (“Early Entry”) shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, the insurance and indemnity provisions), except for the payment of Basic Rental. Such Early Entry shall not advance the Commencement Date. During any Early Entry, Landlord shall not be responsible for any loss, including theft, damage or destruction to any work or material installed or stored by Tenant at the Premises or for any injury to Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to post appropriate notices of non-responsibility and to require Tenant to provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant has fulfilled its obligation to provide insurance pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord during any such early entry.

ARTICLE 3

RENTAL

(a) Basic Rental.

(i) Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord during the Term hereof, at Landlord’s office or to such other person or at such other place as directed from time to time by written notice to Tenant from Landlord, the Monthly Basic Rental (as set forth in Article l.C. of the Basic Lease Provisions), payable in advance on the first (1^st) day of each calendar month, without demand, setoff or deduction, and if this Lease commences or the date of expiration of this Lease occurs other than on the first (1^st) day or last day of a calendar month, the Monthly Basic Rental for such month shall be prorated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Security Deposit shall be pa id to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease, and if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, Monthly Basic Rental for the partial month commencing as of the Commencement Date shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days in such month and shall be due and payable upon the Commencement Date. Any and all amounts due and payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (other than the Monthly Basic Rental and the Security Deposit) shall be deemed “Additional Rent” and Landlord shall be entitled to exercise the same rights and remedies upon default in payment of the Additional Rent as Landlord is entitled to exercise with respect to defaults in Monthly Basic Rental payments. Basic Rental and Additional Rental are collectively referred to as “Rental.”

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions of this subsect ion ( ii), provided that Tenant is not then in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall be credited with the payment (meaning for clarity that zero is due from the Tenant) of Monthly Basic Rental payable with respect to the Premises for the twenty-fifth through the twenty-six months, inclusive, of the Lease Term only and for the thirty-seventy month, inclusive, of the Lease Term only (collectively, the “Basic Rental Credit”), as and when the Monthly Basic Rental for such months would be due and payable. Basic Rental Credit shall reduce the Monthly Basic Rental but will not reduce any amount of Direct Costs (hereinafter defined) or Additional Rent, during each month in which the Basic Rental Credit is otherwise applicable. Tenant understands and agrees that the foregoing Basic Rental Credit is conditioned upon Tenant’s not being in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods. Accordingly, upon the occurrence of any default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods at any time prior to the end of the fifth (5th) month of the Lease Term, Tenant shall no longer be entitled to the Basic Rental Credit set forth above and Tenant shall pay Basic Rental for the balance of the period that the Basic Rental Credit otherwise would have applied as and when the same would have become due and payable in the absence of such Basic Rental Credit. Furthermore, if the Lease is terminated due to a default by Tenant, the entire Basic Rental Credit shall be null and void and all Basic Rental not paid on account of the Basic Rental Credit (including any previously granted Basic Rental Credit) shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord.

(b) Increase in Direct Costs. The term “Base Year” means the calendar year set forth in Article 1.D. of the Basic Lease Provisions. If either the Premises and/or the Project is expanded or reduced, then Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be appropriately increased or decreased, and as to the calendar year in which such change occurs, Tenant’s Proportionate Share for such calendar year shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during that particular calendar year that such Tenant’s Proportionate Share was in effect. If this Lease shall terminate on any date other than the las t day of a calendar year, the additional s um payable hereunder by Tenant during the calendar year in which this Lease terminates shall be prorated on the basis of the relationship which the number of days which have elapsed from the commencement of said calendar year to and including said date on which this Lease terminates bears to three hundred sixty five (365).

(i) “Tax Costs”, which shall mean any and all real estate taxes and other similar charges on real property or improvements, assessments, water and sewer assessments le vie d against the Project, and all other charges assessed, reassessed or levied upon the Project and appurtenances thereto and the parking or other facilities thereof, or the real property thereunder (collectively the “Real Property”) or attributable thereto or on the rents or issues received or derived therefrom which are assessed, reassessed or levied by the United States, the State of Arizona or any local government authority or agency or any political subdivision thereof, and shall include Landlord’s reasonable legal fees, costs and disbursements incurred in connection with proceedings for reduction of Tax Costs or any part thereof; provided, however, if at any time after the date of this Lease the methods of taxation now prevailing shall be altered so that in lieu of or as a supplement to or a substitute for the whole or any part of any Tax Costs, there shall be assessed, reassessed or levied (a) a tax. assessment, reassessment, levy. imposition or charge wholly or partially as a capital or franchise levy or otherwise on the rents or issues derived there from, or (b) a tax, assessment. reassessment, levy (including but not limited to any municipal, state or federal levy), imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon the Real Property and imposed upon Landlord, then except to the extent such items are payable by Tenant under Article 6 below, such taxes, assessments, reassessments or levies or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included in the term “Direct Costs.” In addition, when calculating Tax Costs for the Base Year. special assessments shall only be deemed included in Tax Costs for the Base Year to the extent that such special assessments are included in Tax Costs for the applicable subsequent calendar year during the Term.

(ii) “Operating Costs”, which shall mean all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with the maintenance, operation, replacement, ownership and repair of the Project, the equipment, the infra-building cabling and wiring, adjacent walks, malls and landscaped and common areas and the parking structure, areas and facilities of the Project. Operating Costs shall include but not be limited to, salaries, wages, medical. surgical and general welfare benefits and pension payments, payroll taxes, fringe benefits, employment taxes, workers’ compensation, uniforms and dry cleaning thereof for all persons who perform duties connected with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Project, its equipment, the intra-building cabling and wiring and the adjacent walks and landscaped areas, including janitorial (excluding janitorial contracted for directly by Tenant solely with respect to the Premises, if any), gardening, security, parking. operating engineer, elevator, painting, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and window washing; hired services; a reasonable allowance for depreciation of the cost of acquiring or the rental expense of personal property used in the maintenance, operation and repair of the Project; accountant’s fees incurred in the preparation of rent adjustment statements (including, without limitation, bookkeeping and other property accounting costs); legal fees; real estate tax consulting fees; personal property taxes on property used in the maintenance and operation of the Project; fees. costs, expenses or dues payable pursuant to the terms of any covenants, conditions or restrictions or owners’ association pertaining to the Project; capital expenditures incurred to effect economies of operation of, or stability of services to, the Project or otherwise incurred in order to enhance or upgrade the safety, security, fire/life/safety or other operating systems of the Project, and capital expenditures required by government regulations, laws, or ordinances including, but not limited to the Americans with Disabilities Act; provided however that any such permitted capital expenditure shall be amortized (with interest at ten percent (10%) per annum) over its useful life and only the amortized portion (together with accrued interest thereon) shall he included in Operating Costs for such year; costs incurred (capital or otherwise) on a regular recurring basis every three (3) or more years for certain maintenance projects (e.g., parking lot slurry coat or replacement of lobby and elevator cab carpeting); the cost of all charges for electricity, gas, water and other utilities furnished to the Project, including any taxes thereon; the cost of all charges for fire and extended coverage, liability and all other insurance in connection with the Project carried by Landlord; the cost of all building and cleaning supplies and materials; the cost of all charges for cleaning, maintenance and service contracts and other services with independent contractors and administration fees; a property management fee (which fee may be imputed if Landlord has internalized management or otherwise acts as its own property manager) and license, permit and inspection fees relating to the Project. In no event shall costs for any item of utilities included in Direct Costs for any year subsequent to the Base Year be less than the amount included in Direct Costs for the Base Year for such utility item. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 3, when calculating Operating Costs for the Base Year. Operating Costs shall exclude (a) increases due to extraordinary circumstances including, but not limited to, labor-related boycotts and strikes, utility rate hikes, utility conservation surcharges, or other surcharges, insurance premiums resulting from terrorism coverage, catastrophic events and/or the management of environmental risks, and (b) amortization of any capital items including, but not limited to, capital improvements, capital repairs and capital replacements (including such amortized costs where the actual improvement, repair or replacement was made in prior years). Furthermore, if a category or categories of services are provided or an unexpected increase in services are provided by Landlord in the Base Year. but not in subsequent calendar year(s), the Base Year shall be retroactively adjusted to reflect the Direct Costs which would have been incurred during the Base Year had such category or categories of services or unexpected increase in services not been provided during the Base Year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Costs shall exclude the following: (1) the cost of providing any service directly to and paid directly by any tenant (outside of such tenant’s Common Area Expense payments); (2) the cost of any items for which Landlord is reimbursed by insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, a tenant of the Project, or otherwise to the extent so reimbursed; (3) any real estate brokerage commissions or other costs incurred in procuring tenants. or any fee in lieu of commissions; (4) ground lease payments (if any); (5) costs of items considered capital improvements under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied except as expressly included in Operating Costs pursuant to the definition above; (6) costs incurred by Landlord due to the violation by Landlord or any tenant of the terms and conditions of any lease of space in the Project that would not have been incurred but for such violation; (7) Landlord’s general corporate overhead (as opposed to overhead expenses related to the Project or real property on which the Project is situated); (8) any compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other persons in commercial concessions operated by Landlord (other than in the parking facilities for the Project); (9) bad debt expenses and interest. principal, points and fees on debts (except in connection with the financing of items which may be included in Operating Costs) or amortization on any ground lease, mortgage or mortgages or any other debt instrument encumbering the Project (including the real property on which the Project is situated); (10) marketing costs, including leasing commissions and attorneys’ fees in connection with the negotiation and preparation of letters, deal memos, letters of intent. leases, subleases and/or assignments, space planning costs, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with lease. sublease and/or assignment negotiations and transactions with present or prospective tenants or other occupants of the Project; (11) costs, including permit. license and inspection costs, incurred with respect to the installation of other tenants’ or occupants’ improvements made for tenants or other occupants in the Project or incurred in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating, painting or redecorating vacant space for tenants or other occupants in the Project; (12) any costs expressly excluded from Operating Costs elsewhere in this Lease; (13) costs of any items (including. but not limited to, costs incurred by Landlord for the repair of damage to the Project) to the extent Landlord receives reimbursement from insurance proceeds or from a third party (except that any deductible amount under any insurance policy shall be included within Operating Costs); (14) rentals and other related expenses for leasing an HVAC system, elevators, or other items (except when needed in connection with normal repairs and maintenance of the Project) which if purchased, rather than rented, would constitute a capital improvement not included in Operating Costs pursuant to this Lease; (15) depreciation. amortization and interest payments, except as specifically included in Operating Costs pursuant to the terms of this Lease and except on materials. tools, supplies and vendor-type equipment purchased by Landlord to enable Landlord to supply services Landlord might otherwise contract for with a third party, where such depreciation, amortization and interest payments would otherwise have been included in the charge for such third party’s services, all as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and when depreciation or amortization is permitted or required. the item shall be amortized over its reasonably anticipated useful life; (16) expenses in connection with services or other benefits which are not offered to Tenant or for which Tenant is charged for directly but which are provided to another tenant or occupant of the Project, without charge; (17) electric power costs or other utility costs for which any tenant directly contracts with the local public service company (but Landlord shall have the right to “gross up” as if such space was vacant); (18) costs (including in connection therewith all attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement, judgments and/or payments in lieu thereof) arising from claims, disputes or potential disputes in connection with potential or actual claims, litigation or arbitrations pertaining to another tenant of the Project; (19) costs incurred in connection with the original construction of the Project, and (20) and commercially unreasonable amounts or types of insurance.

(d) Determination of Payment.

(i) If for any calendar year ending or commencing within the Term, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for such calendar year exceeds Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Sections 3(d)(ii) and (iii). below, and as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the “Excess”).

(ii) Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Costs for the then-current calendar year shall be and the estimated Excess (the “Estimated Excess”) as calculated by comparing Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for such calendar year, which shall be based upon the Estimate, to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs for the Base Year. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any calendar year shall not preclude Landlord from subsequently enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Excess under this Article 3, once such Estimated Excess has been determined by Landlord. If pursuant to the Estimate Statement an Estimated Excess is calculated for the then-current calendar year, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Monthly Basic Rental due, a fraction of the Estimated Excess for the then-current calendar year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 3(d)(ii)). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current calendar year to the month of such payment, both months inclusive, and shall have twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished, Tenant shall pay monthly, with the Monthly Basic Rental installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12^th) of the total Estimated Excess set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.

(iii) In addition. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of each calendar year, a statement (the “Statement”) which shall state the Direct Costs incurred or accrued for such preceding calendar year, and which shall indicate the amount, if any, of the actual Excess, if any incurred. Upon receipt of the Statement for each calendar year during the Term, if amounts paid by Tenant as Estimated Excess are less than the actual Excess as specified on the Statement. Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of monthly Basic Rental due, the full amount of the Excess for such calendar year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such calendar year as Estimated Excess. If, however, the Statement indicates that amounts paid by Tenant as Estimated Excess are greater than the actual Excess as specified on the Statement, such overpayment shall be credited against (reduce) Tenant’s next installments of Estimated Excess. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any calendar year shall not prejudice Landlord from enforcing its rights under this Article 3, once such Statement has been delivered. Even though the Term has expired or been terminated and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s actual Proportionate Share of the Direct Costs for the calendar year in which this Lease terminates, if an Excess (or a reduction) is present, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord (or Landlord shall refund to Tenant) an amount as calculated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(d). The provisions of this Section 3(d)(iii) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

(e) Intentionally deleted.

(f) Audit Right. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of a Statement by Tenant (“Review Period”), if Tenant disputes the amount set forth in the Statement, Tenant’s employees or an independent certified public accountant, designated by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord (“Review Notice”) and at reasonable times, inspect Landlord’s records at Landlord’s offices, provided that Tenant is not then in default after expiration of all applicable cure periods and provided further that Tenant and such accountant or representative shall, and each of them shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective agents and employees to, maintain all information contained in Landlord’s records in strict confidence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall only have the right to review Landlord’s records one (1) time during any twelve (12) month period. If after such inspection. but within thirty (30) days after the Review Period, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing (“Dispute Notice”) that Tenant still disputes such amounts, a certification as to the proper amount shall be made in accordance with Landlord’s standard accounting practices. at Tenant’s expense, by an independent certified public accountant selected by Landlord. Tenant’s failure to deliver the Review Notice within the Review Period or to deliver the Dispute Notice within thirty (30) days after the Review Period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s approval of such Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such Statement. If Tenant timely delivers the Review Notice and the Dispute Notice, Landlord shall cooperate in good faith with Tenant and the accountant to show Tenant and the accountant the information upon which the certification is to be based. However, if such certification by the accountant proves that the Direct Costs charged to Tenant, as set forth in the Statement were overstated by more than ten percent (10%), then the cost of the accountant and the cost of such certification shall be paid for by Landlord. provided that in no event shall Landlord be responsible for costs hereunder in excess of the amount of such overstatement. Promptly following the parties receipt of such certification, the parties shall make such appropriate payments or reimbursements, as the case may be, to each other, as are determined to be owing pursuant to such certification. Tenant agrees that this section shall be the sole method to be used by Tenant to dispute the amount of any Direct Costs payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and Tenant hereby waives any other rights at law or in equity relating thereto.

(f) Controllable Expense Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, during all Lease Years during the Term hereof, any increases in Tenant’s pro rata share of Controllable Direct Costs shall be limited to no more than five percent (5%) per year of the prior year’s Direct Costs, on a cumulative basis. “Controllable Direct Costs” shall mean all Direct Costs except Tax Costs, utilities and insurance.

ARTICLE 4

SECURITY DEPOSIT

Tenant has deposited or concurrently herewith is depositing with Landlord the Security Deposit set forth in Article 1.F. of the Basic Lease Provisions as security for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. If Tenant materially breaches, after notice and failure to cure as provided herein, any provision of this Lease, including but not limited to the payment of rent, Landlord may use all or any part of this security deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sums in default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the amount identified above. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit in trust, segregate it or keep it separate from Landlord’s general funds, but Landlord may commingle Tenant’s Security Deposit with its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on its Security Deposit. At the expiration of the Term, and provided there exists no default by Tenant hereunder, the Security Deposit or any balance, if any thereof shall be returned to Tenant within ninety (90) days of the termination date. Landlord may retain from said Security Deposit (i) any and all amounts incurred by Landlord to cover the costs to be incurred by Landlord to remove any items required to be removed by Tenant under Section 29(b) below and to repair any damage caused by such removal (in which case any excess amount so retained by Landlord shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such removal and repair), and (ii) any and all amounts permitted by law or this Article 4.

ARTICLE 5

HOLDING OVER

Should Tenant, without Landlord’s written consent, hold over after termination of this Lease, Tenant shall. at Landlord’s option, become either a tenant at sufferance or a month-to-month tenant upon each and all of the terms herein provided as may be applicable to such a tenancy and any such holding over shall not constitute an extension of this Lease. During such holding over, Tenant shall pay in advance, monthly, Basic Rental at a rate equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the rate in effect for the last month of the Term of this Lease including but not limited to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Direct Costs. Nothing contained in this Article 5 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over of the Premises by Tenant, and Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant agrees to (i) indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all costs, loss, expense or liability, including without limitation, claims made by any succeeding tenant and real estate brokers claims and attorney’s fees and costs, and (ii) compensate Landlord for all costs, losses. expenses and/or liabilities incurred by Landlord as a result of such holdover, including without limitation, losses due to the loss of a succeeding tenancy.

Unless specifically noted to the contrary on the Approved Construction Documents, the Improvements shall be constructed using Project-standard quantities, specifications and materials. Tenant shall make no changes or modifications to the Approved Construction Documents without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion if such change or modification would directly or indirectly delay the “Substantial Completion,” as that term is defined in Section 5.1 of this Tenant Work Letter, of the Improvements.

SECTION 2

WARRANTIES AND GUARANTIES
