In the event the estimated amount of Excess Direct Operating Expenses Rent has not yet been determined for any lease year, Tenant shall pay the monthly installment in the estimated amount determined for the preceding lease year until the estimate for the current lease year has been provided to Tenant, at which time Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice pay to Landlord any existing shortfall and, thereafter, make the monthly installment payment in accordance with the current estimate; (iii) As soon as reasonably possible following the end of each lease year of the term including the end of any initial particular lease year, Landlord shall determine and provide to Tenant a statement of the amount of Direct Operating Expenses actually incurred (except in the event that the Building is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied, in which case the Direct Operating Expenses shall be computed as though the Building had been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied) and the amount of Excess Direct Operating Expenses Rent payable by Tenant with respect to such lease year.

Direct Operating Expenses shall include, by way of illustration, but not limitation, the following: (1) Reasonable costs of wages and salaries of all employees engaged in operating and maintenance or security of the Building, including taxes, insurance and benefits relating thereto, and the reasonable rental value of the Building office. (2) All supplies and materials used in operation and maintenance or security of the Building.

(9) The costs of any capital improvements or alterations made to the Building after the Commencement Date that reduce other operating expenses or are required at the direction of or resulting from, statutes or regulations, or interpretations thereof, promulgated by any governmental authority in connection with the use or occupancy of the Building that were not applicable when such improvements were originally constructed, such cost thereof to be amortized over such reasonable period, i.e., generally acceptable accounting practices, as Landlord shall determine, together with interest on the unamortized balance at the actual rate paid by Landlord on funds borrowed for the purpose of constructing said capital improvements plus any financing costs. (10) All taxes and assessments levied on the Building (including, without limitation, the land upon which it is located), including, but not limited to, real property taxes and assessments, and personal property taxes and assessments on all personal property of Landlord used in connection with the maintenance and operation of the Building and the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in contesting, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings the amount or validity of any such tax or assessment.

In the event of any nonpayment of Additional Rent when required under this Lease, the Landlord shall have (in addition to all other rights and remedies) all the rights and remedies provided herein or by law in the case of non-payment of Basic Rent and Excess Direct Operating Expenses Rent. All references in this Lease to Rent shall mean and collectively refer to Basic Rent, Excess Direct Operating Expenses Rent and Additional Rent 4.5 LATE CHARGES: Tenant's failure to pay Rent promptly on the first day of each month may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs, the exact amount of which are impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering the Building. Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any Rent payment within ten (10) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of the overdue amount. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment. 4.6 INTEREST: Any amount owed by Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the due date of such amount. However, interest shall not be payable on late charges to be paid by Tenant under this Lease. The payment of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. If the interest rate specified in this Lease is higher than the rate permitted by law, the interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law. 4.7 SECURITY DEPOSIT: Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon execution of this Lease, the Security Deposit, which shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the Term hereof. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of the Lease, including but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's 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, upon demand therefor, deposit with Landlord cash, in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount and Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or at Landlord's option to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days following expiration of the Term, provided that Landlord may retain the Security Deposit until such time as any amount due from Tenant in accordance hereof has been determined paid in full.

Tenant agrees to abide by all reasonable rules and regulations established by Landlord from time to time with respect to the Building. A copy of the rules and regulations in existence on the date of this Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit B, but Landlord reserves the right to amend the rules and regulations at any time by giving notice of amendment to Tenant, if Landlord determines such amendments to be in the best interest of the Building and its tenants.

Landlord shall be responsible for ensuring that any common areas within the Building other than on floors that are entirely leased to Tenant comply with all applicable laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs relating to compliance with legal requirements to the extent triggered, caused or made applicable by any alteration, addition or improvement made by Tenant 5.3 INSURANCE USE REQUIREMENTS: Tenant shall neither use nor occupy the Premises in any manner, nor commit or omit any act, which would result in a cancellation or reduction of any insurance or increase in premiums on any insurance policy covering the Premises, or the property or Building.

Landlord shall endeavor to give Tenant minimum thirty (30) day notice of the Estimated Completion Date. In the event that the Tenant Improvements are not completed on or before the Estimated Completion Date, for any cause or reason, Landlord, its agents and employees, shall not be liable or responsible for any damages or liabilities in connection therewith incurred by Tenant as a result thereof, nor shall the obligations of Tenant provided herein be excused by reason of any such delay, except that the failure to complete construction of the Tenant's Improvements on the Estimated Completion Date is due solely to the unexcused actions of Landlord hereunder, then, in such event, Tenant's sole remedy and right shall be to delay the Commencement Date by the number of days that completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements were delayed solely by the unexcused actions of Landlord, but in no event shall the Commencement Date be later than the date on which Tenant takes possession or Initials /s/ EJC -------- Initials -------- 5 commences business operations at the Premises or part thereof.

If Tenant cancels this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, the Landlord shall return to Tenant, without interest, the first installment of Basic Rent, paid pursuant to Section 4.1 above, plus the Security Deposit (if previously deposited by Tenant) and the parties shall be discharged from any and all obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commencement Date shall be the date when Landlord would otherwise have been able to tender possession of the Premises or complete construction thereof except for the delay which was caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or anyone for whom Tenant is responsible, even though (i) Tenant may not, in fact, occupy the Premises on such date; (ii) the Tenant Improvements were not, in fact, completed on the Estimated Completion Date, and (iii) Landlord actually completes the Tenant Improvements after the Estimated Completion Date and delivers possession of the Premises after the Commencement Date.

Landlord shall not be liable for any such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. Except as provided in Article 13 hereof, there shall be no abatement of any item of Rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations, or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances, and equipment therein. Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord's expense under any law, statute, or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. 7.3 ALTERATIONS: Subject to the removal/nonremoval qualifications stated in Section 7.5, Tenant shall not make any alteration, addition, or improvement to the Premises (whether structural or nonstructural) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant may, with notice to Landlord, make nonstructural modifications/alterations (to exclude, but not be limited to, base building, electrical, power, sewer, roof, etc.) if Tenant's expenditure per occurrence is less than $5,000.00 cumulative. In the event Landlord gives its consent, such consent may be conditioned upon the requirement that Tenant (i) supply to Landlord, plans and specifications which must be approved by Landlord in writing prior to commencement of any work; and (ii) provide, prior to the commencement of any work, a lien free completion bond in the form and amount satisfactory to Landlord. Any alteration, addition, or improvement for which Landlord gives its written consent shall be accomplished by Tenant in a good and workmanlike manner; in conformity with all applicable laws and regulations and by a contractor approved by Landlord. Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall provide to Landlord "as-built" plans, copies, and proof of payment of all labor and materials.

Any Tenant alterations which cause or trigger an increase in Landlord's tax assessment shall be incrementally passed directly through to Tenant. Further, the tax increase shall not be computed in calculating the Initial Base Operating Expenses per Article 1.5 or as provided. See Addendum Paragraph 6 for other requirements. Initials /s/ EJC -------- Initials -------- 6 7.4 LIENS: Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or for Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall not, within ten (10) days following the imposition of any such lien, cause the same to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to such lien. All sums paid by Landlord and all expenses incurred by it in connection therewith shall create automatically an obligation of Tenant to pay an equivalent amount as additional rent, which additional rent shall be payable by Tenant on Landlord's demand with interest at the maximum rate per annum permitted by law until paid. 7.5 CONDITION ON TERMINATION: Upon the expiration, or sooner termination, of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, and in the same condition as received, except for ordinary wear and tear which Tenant was not otherwise obligated to remedy, under any provision of this Lease. Except for the improvements constructed pursuant to Article 6 hereof, Landlord may require Tenant to remove any alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant prior to the termination of the Lease and to restore the Premises to its prior condition (i.e., the condition as of the Commencement Date), all at Tenant's expense. All alterations, additions, and improvements which Landlord does not require Tenant to remove shall become Landlord's property and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon termination of the Lease.

Tenant requested services shall be provided by Landlord, at an hourly rate established by Landlord from time to time, during additional hours on reasonable notice to Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and payable by Tenant, as billed, as Additional Rent.

Tenant may maintain such insurance as part of blanket policies containing a "per project, per location" endorsement. Landlord makes no representation that the minimum insurance amounts specified above are adequate to protect Tenant, and the amount of insurance obtained by Tenant shall not limit Tenant's liability under this Lease. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a certificate of such policy prior to taking possession of the Premises or occupying any part thereof and whenever requested shall satisfy Landlord that such policy is in full force and effect.

Landlord hereby expressly reserves the right, at its option and declaration, to place liens, trust deeds and encumbrances upon and against the Premises Initials /s/ EJC -------- Initials -------- 11 and/or any part thereof and/or the Building, superior in lien and effect to this Lease and the estate created hereby.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant agrees, on request of Landlord, to forthwith execute and acknowledge any reasonable subordination agreement or other documents required to establish of record the priority of any such encumbrance over this Lease, and also to execute and deliver to Landlord, promptly on request, any reasonable estoppel certificate or other statement to be furnished to any prospective purchaser or lender against the Premises stating the matters specified in Article 27 hereof. 15.2 In the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by the Landlord covering the Premises, the Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease. 15.3 The provisions of this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, and so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect for the full term hereof. 15.4 Landlord agrees to use reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to Tenant, at Tenant's expense, a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement from any lender with a lien on the Building senior to this Lease.

ARTICLE 17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING 17.1 LANDLORD'S CONSENT REQUIRED: The purpose of this Lease is to transfer possession of the Premises to Tenant for Tenant's personal use and Tenant has not entered into this Lease for the purpose of obtaining the right to convey the leasehold to others. The ability of Tenant to assign or sublet the Premises is subsidiary and incidental to the underlying purpose of this Lease. Tenant will not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest herein, and will not sublet the Premises or any part thereof or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or allow any other person (the employees, agents, servants and invitees of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use the Premises or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Provided Tenant has received Landlord's consent herein, Tenant agrees throughout the term of this Lease not to sublease to more than four (4) tenants total. Any cumulative transfer of more than thirty percent (30%) of the voting stock will be deemed to be an assignment by Tenant of this Lease which requires the prior written notice to Landlord provided the controlling entity has a consolidated net worth equal to or greater than Tenant's. If notice is given to Landlord, then the controlling entity shall submit to Landlord for its approval all reasonably required financial documentation to support the financial qualifications. Any transfer or subletting attempted or concluded without Landlord's prior written consent will be void and will constitute a default under this Lease. Consent by Landlord to any transfer (including, but not limited to, an assignment or subletting), shall be limited to the particular transfer approved by Landlord and shall not be deemed to be Landlord's consent to any subsequent transfer. Tenant acknowledges Landlord shall have no obligation to sublessees and Tenant agrees to be responsible for such parties' compliance with all rules, regulations, and other covenants. Initials /s/ EJC -------- Initials -------- 12 17.2 LANDLORD'S ELECTION: Tenant's request for consent to any transfer, described in Section 17.1 above must be accompanied by a written statement setting forth the details of the proposed transfer, including the name, type of business and financial condition (supported by financial statements) of the prospective transferee, financial details of the proposed transfer (e.g. the terms of the transaction, the rent and security deposit payable under any assignment or sublease), copies of all agreements and other writings pertaining in any way to the proposed transfer. Tenant, in addition to the foregoing information which must be delivered to Landlord at the time Tenant requests Landlord's consent to the proposed transfer, shall deliver to Landlord any additional information concerning the proposed transfer or prospective transferee as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord will have the right (i) to reasonably withhold consent; (ii) to grant written consent to the transfer; or (iii) to terminate this Lease as of the date of the proposed transfer as to that portion of the Premises affected by the proposed transfer provided the third party transfer term is greater than thirty-nine (39) months long. Within fifteen (15) business days after submission of all required information for the request for consent of proposed transfer, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant of its election under this Section. If Landlord does waive in writing its right to terminate this Lease, such waiver shall be effective only for the transfer specifically covered in Tenant's notice for a period of sixty (60) days after the date of the waiver. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease under Section 1 7.2(iii) above, Tenant shall have the right to withdraw its request to the proposed transfer within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's election to terminate this Lease, in which case Landlord shall have no right to terminate this Lease or any portion thereof. If Landlord does duly exercise its rights under Section 1 7.2(iii) above to terminate this Lease or any portion thereof, Landlord shall have the right to enter into a lease or other occupancy agreement directly with the prospective transferee, and Tenant shall have no right to any of the rents or other consideration payable by such prospective transferee under such other lease, even if such rents and other consideration exceed the rent payable under this Lease by Tenant. If Landlord elects to exercise its rights under Section 17.2(iii), then Landlord shall have the right to lease the Premises to any other tenant, or not lease the Premises, in its sole discretion. in the event of a sublease or assignment of a portion of the Premises, to which Landlord has elected to exercise its rights under Section 1 7.2(iii) above, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment of this Lease to effect a proportionate reduction in the size of the Premises and in the Basic Rent or other Additional Rent payable hereunder. 17.3 WITHHOLDING CONSENT: Under Section 17.2(i), Landlord may withhold its consent to the proposed transfer on any reasonable ground. Such reasonable grounds shall include, without limitation, any one or more of the following: (i) That the prospective transferee's financial condition is or may become insufficient to support all of the financial and other obligations of this Lease; (ii) That the use to which the Premises will be put by the prospective transferee is inconsistent with the terms of this Lease or other existing leases or is otherwise not suitable for a first class office building; (iii) That the nature of the prospective transferee's proposed or likely use of the Premises would involve any increased risk of the use, release or mishandling of hazardous materials; (iv) That the prospective transferee is not likely to conduct on the Property a business of a nature substantially equal to that conducted by Tenant or other tenants on the Property; (v) That Landlord has not received assurances acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion that all past due amounts owing from Tenant to Landlord (if any) will be paid and all other defaults on the part of Tenant (if any) will be cured prior to the effectiveness of the proposed transfer. If Landlord withholds its consent to the proposed transfer pursuant to Section 17.2(i), and if Tenant shall so request in writing, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a statement of the basis on which Landlord denied its consent within a reasonable time, however, no greater than ten (10) days after the receipt of Tenant's notice. Landlord and Tenant agree that Tenant shall have the burden of proving that Landlord's consent to the proposed transfer was withheld unreasonably, and that such burden may be satisfied if Landlord fails to provide a statement of a reasonable basis for withholding its consent within a reasonable time after Tenant's request therefor. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that each of the rights of Landlord in the event of proposed transfer set forth in this Article is a reasonable restriction on transfer for purposes of California Civil Code Section 1951.4. 17.4 TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS CONTINUING: No transfer within the scope of this article, whether with or without Landlord's consent, will release Tenant or change Tenant's primary liability to pay Rent and to perform all other obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Landlord's acceptance of Rent from any other person is not a waiver of any provision of this Section. If Tenant's transferee defaults under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without pursuing remedies against the transferee. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or modifications of this Lease by Tenant's transferee, without noticing Tenant or obtaining its consent, and such action will not relieve Tenant of its liability under this Lease. Initials /s/ EJC -------- Initials -------- 13 17.5 EXCESS RENTAL: With respect to any sublease entered into by Tenant with Landlord's consent as herein provided, if the rent and other compensation paid by the subtenant to Tenant under such sublease, and all agreements and other instruments pertaining in any way thereto, exceeds the Rent being paid by Tenant to Landlord computed on a square foot basis (i.e., the amount by which the rent and other compensation being paid by the subtenant to Tenant exceeds the Rent being paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease for each square foot leased by such subtenant) then Landlord will be entitled to the amount of such excess ("Excess Rent") and Tenant will pay to Landlord such Excess Rent within five (5) days after receipt by Tenant of the same. If Tenant receives any fee, bonus or other payment (whether payable in one or more installments) from any assignee or sublessee as partial consideration for the making of such sublease or assignment ("Bonus Payment"), the entire amount of such Bonus Payment shall be paid over to Landlord as additional rent hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to receive from any Excess Rent or Bonus Payment otherwise required to be paid to the Landlord the amount of out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Tenant for reasonable and customary brokerage commissions, tenant improvements, non-monetary lease concessions or other expenses in connection with sublease or assignment provided Tenant delivers sufficient evidence of such expenses to Landlord. 17.6 SECURITY INTEREST: Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord as security for Tenant's obligations under this Lease all rent from any subletting of all or a part of the Premises as permitted by this Lease, and Landlord as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord's application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant's obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence of an event of default by Tenant, Tenant will have the right to collect such rent. 17.7 TRANSFER FEE: In the event Landlord consents to a sublease or assignment hereunder, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all attorney's fees incurred by Landlord in connection with review and preparation of documents in connection with such sublease or assignment and will pay Landlord a reasonable fee, not to exceed $250.00, for Landlord's processing of documents necessary to the giving of such consent and/or assumption by the assignees.

Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any and all damages incurred by Tenant as the result of any failure by Tenant, timely, to surrender possession of the Premises as required herein. If Tenant shall hold over after the expiration of this Lease for any cause, such holding over shall be deemed a tenancy at sufferance or, at the sole discretion of Landlord, a tenancy from month-to-month only, in which event such month-to-month tenancy shall be upon the same terms, conditions and provisions as in this Lease contained, at one hundred forty percent (140%) of the monthly Rent as was in effect immediately prior to the termination.

LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF ENTRY Landlord and its agents may enter upon the Premises at any reasonable time with prior notice, except in the event of emergencies, to post such notices as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to exempt Landlord and Landlord's title from responsibility on account of any work or repairs done by Tenant upon or in connection with the Premises; to inspect and examine the Premises and see that the covenants hereof are being kept and performed; to make such repairs, additions or improvements as Landlord shall deem necessary; or, to exhibit the Premises to prospective lessees or purchasers thereof.

If this Lease is signed by more than one person as Tenant, their obligation shall be joint and several. Landlord may freely and fully assign its interest hereunder.

(d) Tenant shall meet with the Space Planner as soon as reasonably possible following the execution of the Lease for the purpose of advising the Space Planner of the nature and extent of the Tenant Improvements which Tenant requests. On or before June 19, 1996, Tenant shall cause the Space Planner to prepare and deliver to Landlord a space layout and improvement plan for the Premises which shall have been previously approved by Tenant (the "Space Plan"). The Space Plan and the Final Plans and Specifications shall be attached to the Lease as Exhibit D. (e) Within twenty-one (21) days after Landlord's approval of the Space Plan, Tenant shall cause the Space Planner to prepare and deliver to Landlord the plans and specifications (the "Plans and Specifications") for the Tenant Improvements which shall have been previously approved by Tenant. The Plans and Specifications shall include complete architectural drawings and specifications required to construct the Tenant Improvements, including detailed plans for doors, partitioning, reflected ceilings, electrical fixtures, outlets and switches, telephone and computer outlets, plumbing fixtures, extraordinary floor loads and other special requirements. (f) All Design Documents are subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which the Landlord agrees shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Landlord disapproves any Design Documents, Tenant shall cause the Space Planner to deliver revised Design Documents to Landlord within ten (10) days. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord may withhold its approval of any Design Documents which require work which: (i) exceeds or affects the structural integrity of the Building or any part of the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, communication or other systems of the Building; (ii) violates any agreement which affects the Building or which binds Landlord; (iii) Landlord reasonably believes will disproportionately increase the cost of operation or maintenance of any of the systems of the Building; (iv) Landlord reasonably believes will materially reduce the market value of the Building at the end of the Lease Term; (v) does not conform to applicable building codes or is not approved by any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Premises and/or the Building; or Initials /s/ EJC -------- Initials -------- 2 (vi) does not conform to the standards prepared by Landlord, includes designs that are not generic or upgrades which are specialized, or requires demolition of existing improvements or improvements that may adversely impact the Building. Any upgrades or specialized improvements shall be detailed and specified on an initial single line hand sketch to be approved by Landlord before any such items may charged against the Tenant Improvement Allowance. (g) Landlord's review and approval of any Design Documents for the Tenant Improvements shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance with laws, rules, and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities and shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations under Section 2(b). Landlord makes no warranty or representation as to the adequacy, efficiency, performance or desirability of the Tenant Improvements. (h) After approval of the Plans and Specifications, Tenant may authorize changes in the work during construction only by written instructions from Tenant to Landlord on a form approved by Landlord. All such changes shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of any such changes, and such costs shall be chargeable against the Tenant Improvement Allowance provided Landlord consents to such requested change. Prior to commencing any change, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant, for Tenant's approval, a change order (the "Change Order") setting forth the additional time required to perform the change and the total cost of such change, which will include associated architectural, engineering and construction contractor's fees. If Tenant fails to approve such Change Order in writing within two (2) business days after such delivery by Landlord, Tenant shall be deemed to have withdrawn the proposed Change Order and Landlord shall not proceed to perform the change. Upon Landlord's receipt of Tenant's approval, Contractor shall proceed to perform the change and Tenant shall pay for such Change Order in accordance with Section 1 (d) above. Notwithstanding any minor change order request(s), in the event Tenant substantially changes the scope of work, Landlord reserves the right to charge a reasonable administration fee not to exceed Forty and No/1 00ths ($40.00) Dollars per hour relating to the administration of the change order(s). Upon Landlord's approval of change orders, it shall state the fee, if applicable, and then Tenant shall pay Landlord the fee within ten (10) days of written commencement of the change order. Change orders caused by existing conditions or unknown conditions shall be excepted from Landlord's fees. 3. TENANT IMPROVEMENT CONTRACTOR Landlord, based upon approved Plans and Specifications, shall competitively bid the construction among the following contractors or other approved contractors: FCC Construction, Bycor and Johnson & Jennings. Landlord shall select a contractor (the "Contractor") and subcontractors in its reasonable discretion based upon pricing, reputation and selection of subcontractors and other factors Landlord deems relevant, and shall seek the input of Tenant. Landlord will review with Tenant relevant contractor bids. 4. CONSTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS (a) If the estimated cost ("Estimated Cost") to design and construct the Tenant Improvements, including the Contractor's bid ("Bid Amount"), is more than the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing. Within three (3) business days following receipt of such notice, Tenant shall either (i) agree in writing to pay the amount by which the Estimated Cost exceeds the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance in accordance with Section 1 (d) above or (ii) notify Landlord in writing of Tenant's election to cause the Space Planner to revise the Plans and Specifications to reduce the Estimated Cost. The revised Plans and Specifications shall not be rebid, but shall instead be provided to the Contractor for Contractor to revise the Bid Amount. This procedure shall be repeated until the Plans and Specifications, the Bid Amount and the Estimated Cost have been approved by Tenant and Landlord, but all revisions of the Plans and Specifications and all revised Bid Amounts pursuant to this Section 4.A. shall be a Tenant delay pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Lease and elsewhere provided. (b) Contractor shall construct the Tenant Improvements pursuant to a contract with Landlord. Following approval of the Plans and Specifications, the Bid Amount and the Estimated Cost by Landlord and Tenant, Contractor will cause application to be made to the appropriate governmental authorities for necessary approvals and building permits. Upon receipt of the necessary approvals and permits, Contractor shall begin construction of the Tenant Improvements. (c) Landlord shall furnish Tenant, as soon as is reasonably practicable after Substantial Completion (as defined below) of the Tenant Improvements, a cost breakdown for the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall also provide any reasonable supporting data requested by Tenant in writing. Initials /s/ EJC -------- Initials -------- 3 5. SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION As used herein and in the Lease, the terms "Substantial Completion" or "Substantially Complete" (or any other variant of such terms) with respect to the Tenant Improvements shall mean that (i) the Premises have been approved to occupy by the City of San Diego Building Inspection Department, and (ii) it has been determined by a joint inspection of the Premises by a representative of the Landlord and the Tenant that the Tenant Improvements have been constructed substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, except for finishing details of construction, mechanical and other adjustments and other items of the type commonly found on an architectural punch list, none of which materially interfere with Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises for Tenant's intended normal business operation. Based on such joint inspection, Landlord shall present to Tenant a Suite Acceptance Letter in Landlord's standard form which Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord. Any items of work required by the Plans and Specifications and approved change order(s) that have not been completed upon Substantial Completion shall be listed in the Suite Acceptance Letter. Landlord shall promptly proceed to complete such items. If Substantial Completion is delayed as a result of (a) Tenant's failure to comply with any time frames set forth herein or in the Lease, (b) any changes to the approved Plans and Specifications requested by Tenant, (c) Tenant's failure to furnish any documents required hereby, to approve any item as required hereby or to perform any other act or obligation imposed on Tenant by the Lease or this Work Letter as and when required, or (d) any other delay caused by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors (collectively, "Tenant Delay"), then the Commencement Date and Tenant's obligation to pay Rent shall begin on the date when Substantial Completion would have occurred but for the Tenant Delay. 6. AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA)/TITLE 24/CODE COMPLIANCE In order to establish a baseline, Landlord agrees that it will be responsible at its sole cost for ensuring the compliance with applicable laws of all existing unimproved areas and existing improvements within the common areas of the Building and Premises, including all restrooms, corridors and access areas. Landlord shall also be responsible for the cost of compliance with applicable laws relating to areas affected by the Tenant Improvements to the extent such Tenant Improvements are standard and generic, and such costs shall not be charged against the Tenant Improvement Allowance. However, Tenant shall be responsible for such cost of compliance, and such cost shall be charged against the Tenant Improvement Allowance, to the extent the Tenant Improvements (i) include special or upgraded improvements beyond those that are standard and generic and trigger code compliance obligations for previously conforming areas of the Building and (ii) require replacement and/or modification of the existing fire rated corridors on floors two and three of the Building. 7. UNAVOIDABLE DELAYS Performance by either party hereunder shall not be deemed to be in default where delays or defaults are due to war, insurrection, strikes, lock-outs, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, lack of transportation, governmental restrictions, moratoriums, third party litigation, unusually severe weather, inability to secure necessary labor, materials or tools, delays of any contractor or subcontractor or supplier, acts of the other party, acts or failure to act of any public, private or governmental agency or entity or any other causes beyond the control or without the fault of the party claiming an extension of time to perform ("Unavoidable Delays").
