PREMISES
Section 2.01 Demise of Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord for the Lease Term, at the rental, and upon all of the terms and conditions set forth herein, certain premises described in the Summary (Premises), which Premises, commonly referred to as Suite 201, are comprised of a portion of the second (2nd) floor of that certain building described in the Summary (the Building) commonly known as The Cooper House and located at 100-110 Cooper Street in Santa Cruz, California. The Premises are more particularly described and depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto. Landlord reserves the right to access and use the restrooms and janitor, telephone and electrical closets (as well as the space above any dropped ceilings) for cabling, wiring, pipes and other Building system elements. The rentable square footage of the Premises and Building (the Rentable Area) has been determined and certified by Landlords architect by a method described as dripline, whereby the measurement encompasses the outermost perimeter of the constructed Building, including every projection thereof and all area beneath each such projection, whether or not enclosed, with no deduction for any inward deviation of structure and with the measurement being made floor by floor, but beginning from the top of the Building. The Rentable Area of the Premises also includes an allocation of a portion of the Building Common Area, as more particularly defined in Section 2.02 below. The Premises, the Building and appurtenances thereto that are described herein, including Common Area (defined below), together with the land on which such appurtenances and improvements are located are together designated as the project (Project) for the purposes of this Lease.
Section 2.02 Common Area. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to access and use those portions of the Common Area which are provided, from time to time, for use in common by Landlord, Tenant and/or other tenants of the Project. Landlord reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the Common Area (including, without limitation, increasing or reducing the size thereof, adding additional or removing structures, facilities or other improvements that are situated in the Common Areas, or changing the use, configuration and elements thereof), to designate certain areas for the exclusive use of Landlord and/or certain tenants of the Project, and to close or restrict access to certain portions of the Common Area from time to time for repair, maintenance or construction or to prevent a dedication thereof; provided that (i) Tenant nevertheless shall at all times have reasonable access to the Premises, and (ii) any such modifications, when completed, shall not unreasonably interfere with or restrict Tenants access to or possession or use of the Premises. Landlord further reserves the right to establish, repeal and amend from time to time rules and regulations for the use of the Common Area and to grant easements or other rights to use the Common Area to others; provided that no amendment to the rules and regulations shall unreasonably interfere with or restrict Tenants access to or possession or use of the Premises or unreasonably and materially increase Tenants Share of Operating Expenses; and provided further that, to the extent of any conflict between an express provision of this Lease (other than the attached Rules and Regulations) and such Common Area rules and regulations, this Lease shall control. The Common Area shall consist of (x) the Project Common Area, which includes all portions of the Project other than the Building, including landscaping, sidewalks, walkways, driveways, curbs, parking lots (including striping), sprinkler systems, lighting, surface water drainage systems, and additional or different facilities as Landlord may from time to time designate or
-3-
install or make available for the use by Tenant in common with others, and (y) the Building Common Area, which includes all lobbies (other than the lobbies on full floors of the Building, that are fully leased to other tenants), mechanical areas, stairwells, elevators and elevator shafts, pipe, cabling and wiring shafts, together with their enclosing walls, plus, to the extent not leased to an occupant, all entrances, elevator and other common corridors and hallways, restrooms, janitor closets, telephone closets, electric closets and other public or common areas located in the Building.
ARTICLE III
TERM
Section 3.01 Lease Term. The initial term of this Lease (the Lease Term) shall commence on the Commencement Date set forth in the Summary (the Commencement Date), and shall expire, unless sooner terminated as provided for herein, on the Expiration Date set forth in the Summary (the Expiration Date). At any time following the Commencement Date, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a Memorandum of Commencement of Lease Term substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B as a confirmation of the information set forth therein, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within five (5) business days after receipt thereof.
Section 3.02 Option to Extend.
(a) Exercise. The Option to Extend set forth in the Summary, if any, may be exercised by Tenant, if at all, only by delivery of irrevocable written notice (the Option Notice) to Landlord given not more than twelve (12) months nor less than nine (9) months prior to the end of the initial Lease Term; provided, however, if, as of the date of delivery of the Option Notice or any day thereafter on or before the last day of the initial Lease Term, Tenant (i) is in default under this Lease (beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period provided under this Lease), (ii) has assigned this Lease or (iii) has sublet more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises, or (iv) is not then occupying the Premises, then, at the sole option of Landlord, the Option Notice shall be totally ineffective, and this Lease shall expire on the last day of the initial Lease Term, if not sooner terminated. Furthermore, it is understood and agreed that the Option to Extend contemplated in this Section 3.02 are personal to the originally named Tenant and are not transferable.
(b) Extended Term Rent. In the event Tenant exercises an Option to Extend set forth herein, all the terms and conditions of this Lease shall continue to apply during the applicable Extended Term, except that the Base Rent payable by Tenant during the Extended Term shall be equal to the greater of (i) the Base Rent due hereunder with respect to the last month of the initial Lease Term, as adjusted pursuant to Section 4.01(b) below, and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of Fair Market Rent (as defined below), as determined pursuant to Section 3.03(c) below. Base Rent shall continue to be subject to annual adjustments as provided in Section 4.01(b) below during the Extended Term. Fair Market Rent shall mean the effective rental rate, determined on a per rentable square foot basis, being charged in transactions entered into within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Negotiation Period (as defined in subsection (c) below), for comparable space in similar buildings in the vicinity of the Building (i.e., buildings of a similar age and quality considering any recent renovations or
-4-
modernization), with similar floor plate size and with similar amenities, or, if such comparable space is not available, then making adjustments in the determination of Fair Market Rent to reflect the age, quality, layout and amenities of the Premises and the Building, as contrasted to spaces in other buildings used for comparison purposes, in all instances taking into consideration: size; location; floor level; leasehold improvements or allowances provided or to be provided; lease term; extent of services to be provided; the time that the particular rate under consideration became or is to become effective; and any other relevant terms or conditions applicable to both new and renewing tenants.
(c) Determination of Fair Market Rent
(i) Negotiation. If Tenant timely and properly exercises an Option to Extend, then, within the first thirty (30) days following the date of Tenants delivery of the Option Notice (the Negotiation Period), the parties shall meet in good faith to negotiate the Base Rent for the Premises during the Extended Term. If during the Negotiation Period, the parties agree on the Base Rent for the Premises during the Extended Term, then such agreed amount shall be the Base Rent payable by Tenant during the Extended Term.
(ii) Arbitration. In the event that the parties are unable to agree on the Base Rent for the Premises within the Negotiation Period, then within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Negotiation Period, each party shall separately designate to the other in writing and engage an appraiser to make this determination. Each appraiser designated shall be a member of the Appraisal Institute and shall have at least ten (10) years experience in appraising commercial real property in Santa Cruz and/or Santa Cruz County. The failure of either party to appoint an appraiser within the time allowed shall be deemed equivalent to appointing the appraiser appointed by the other party, who shall then determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises for the Extended Term. Within five (5) business days of their appointment, the two designated appraisers shall jointly designate a third similarly qualified appraiser. Within thirty (30) days after their appointment, each of the two appraisers appointed by the parties shall submit to the third appraiser a sealed envelope containing such appointed appraisers good faith determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises for the Extended Term; concurrently with such delivery, each such appraiser shall deliver a copy of his or her determination to the other appraiser. The third appraiser shall within ten (10) days following receipt of such submissions, then determine which of the two appraisers determinations most closely reflects Fair Market Rent. The determination selected by the third appraiser shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Rent for the Premises during the Extended Term; the third appraiser shall have no rights to adjust, amend or otherwise alter the determinations made by the appraisers selected by the parties, but must select one or the other of such appraisers submissions. The determination by such third appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties. Said third appraiser shall, upon selecting the determination which most closely resembles Fair Market Rent, concurrently notify both parties hereto in writing. Each party shall be solely responsible to pay the fees and costs of the appraiser that it appointed and the parties shall share the fees and costs of the third appraiser equally. If the Extended Term begins prior to the determination of Fair Market Rent, Tenant shall pay monthly installments of Base Rent
-5-
equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the monthly installment of Base Rent in effect for the last year of the initial Lease Term. Once a determination is made, any over payment or under payment of Base Rent by Tenant shall be reimbursed as a credit against, or paid by adding to, the monthly installment of Base Rent next falling due.
Section 3.03 Early Termination Right.
(a) Tenant shall have a right to terminate this Lease effective anytime on or after the last day of the thirty-sixth (36th) full calendar month of the Term (as applicable, the Early Termination Date) by providing Landlord with written notice (a Termination Notice) of its intent to terminate given at least nine (9) months prior to the applicable Early Termination Date.
(b) If Tenant elects to exercise the right to terminate this Lease in accordance with this Section 3.03, Tenant shall pay Landlord a cancellation payment (the Termination Fee) equal to One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($125,000.00). Twenty-five percent (25%) of such Termination Fee shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord concurrently with the giving of the Termination Notice, twenty-five percent (25%) of such Termination Fee shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord four (4) months prior to the Early Termination Date, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of such Termination Fee shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on the Early Termination Date.
(c) Provided that Tenant pays the Termination Fee, the Lease shall terminate as of the Early Termination Date with the same force and effect as if scheduled to expire according to its terms as of such date, and all terms and provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, the condition of the Premises upon expiration of the Term and survival of indemnity obligations) shall be applicable thereto. If Tenant fails to timely pay the Termination Fee, Tenants exercise of its right to terminate shall be null and void and of no force and effect whatsoever, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall have no further right to terminate this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenants exercise of its rights under this Section 3.03 shall, if Landlord so elects in its absolute discretion, be ineffective in the event that Tenant is in default of this Lease at the time of delivery of a Termination Notice or upon the applicable Early Termination Date.

Section 4.05 Operating Expenses; Insurance Expenses; Real Property Taxes.
(a) Definitions. Operating Expenses shall mean all expenses, costs and amounts of every kind and nature which Landlord pays or accrues (whether obligated to do so or undertaken at Landlords discretion) during any calendar year during the Lease Term because of or in connection with the ownership, operation, management, maintenance, security, repair, replacement and restoration of the Project, the Building, or any portion thereof, other than Insurance Expenses and Real Property Taxes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall specifically include any and all of the following: costs and expenses of cleaning, lighting, maintaining, repairing and replacing all Project Common Area improvements and elements (including, without limitation, light poles and fixtures, storm and sanitary sewers, parking lots, driveways and roads) and all Building Common Area improvements and elements (including, without limitation, elevators, stairways, floors, exterior and interior walls, roof, roof membrane and other elements of the Building which are the responsibility of Landlord to maintain, repair and replace under this Lease); costs of snow removal; costs of parking lot striping; costs of removal of trash, rubbish, garbage and other refuse; costs of painting of exterior and interior walls; costs of removal of graffiti; costs of landscaping; costs of providing security systems and personnel to the extent Landlord determines in its sole discretion to do so; fire protection and fire hydrant charges (including fire protection system signaling devices now or hereafter required, and the costs of maintaining of same); water and sewer charges; utility charges; license and permit fees necessary to operate and maintain the Building and the Project; costs of supplies, tools and materials used in the operation and maintenance of the Building, the Project and the Common Area; the cost (or the reasonable depreciation of the cost) of equipment used in the operation and maintenance of the Building, the Project and the Common Area (which shall be expensed or amortized, respectively, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and Landlords good faith discretion using commercial real estate management principles, consistently applied) and rent paid for leasing any such equipment; reasonable cost of on-site or off-site space for the storage of any and all items used in conjunction with the operation, management, maintenance and repair of the Project (including, without limitation, tools, machinery, records, decorations, tables, benches, supplies and meters); the cost of making all improvements which are intended to reduce Operating Expenses or to increase public safety, or which may be then required by governmental authority, laws, statutes, ordinances and/or regulations; the cost of all licenses, certificates, permits and inspections; the cost of contesting any governmental enactments which may affect Operating Expenses; costs incurred to comply with any transportation demand management program, any present or anticipated conservation program or any other governmental program; payments under any easement, license, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant, or instrument pertaining to the sharing of costs by the Building or the Project; costs, fees, charges or assessments imposed, by or resulting from any

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenants Share of the cost of any particular capital expenditure to the Building or Common Area exceeds Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00), then such cost, together with interest thereon at the rate actually charged Landlord by any lender or, if no such interest is relevant, with interest thereon at an interest rate equal to the Agreed Rate (as defined in Section 17.02 below), shall be amortized over its useful life, and the amount includible in Operating Expenses shall be limited to the monthly amortized cost thereof. The determination of what constitutes a capital expenditure and the useful life applicable thereto shall be made by Landlord in its good faith discretion using generally accepted accounting principals consistently applied.
In determining the amount of Operating Expenses for any year, if less than 95% of the Rentable Area of the Office Portion of the Building or the Project is occupied by tenants at any time during any such year, Operating Expenses shall be determined for such year to be an amount equal to the like expenses which would normally be expected to be incurred had such occupancy been 95% throughout the year.

ARTICLE VIII
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
Section 8.01 Destruction of the Premises.
(a) In the event all or any part of the Premises or the Common Area serving or providing access to the Premises are damaged during the Lease Term from any fire or other casualty, then Landlord shall promptly conduct the repair and diligently pursue the same to completion, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment and other matters beyond Landlords reasonable control (in which event the provisions of Section 17.20 below shall apply), and subject to all other terms and conditions of this Article VIII; provided, however, Tenant (and not Landlord) shall promptly repair all damage to those items as to which Tenant is required to maintain property insurance under Section 7.02 above. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01(b) below, no such damage shall terminate this Lease. If such fire or other casualty shall have damaged the Premises or Common Areas necessary to Tenants occupancy, then Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Rent to the extent Landlord actually receives proceeds of rental interruption insurance purchased by Landlord as part of Insurance Expenses (or such rental interruption insurance proceeds as Landlord would have received had Landlord actually purchased the insurance described in Section 7.01(a)(iii)), during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof; provided that, in any event, Tenants right to abate Rent shall terminate as of the later to occur of (i) the date on which Landlord completes its repairs under this Section 8.01(a), or (ii) the date (as reasonably determined by Landlord) on which Tenant should have completed its repairs under this Section 8.01(a) assuming Tenant used reasonable diligence in pursuing the same, and provided, further, that nothing in the foregoing abatement provisions are intended to give, nor shall be interpreted to give, any insurance company a right to forego paying under a rental interruption or business loss policy because of the conditionality of Tenants abatement. Unless this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(b), Tenant shall pay Tenants Share of any insurance deductible to Landlord as a pass-through in Operating Expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding the terms of Section 8.01(a) above, Landlord may elect not to repair or restore the Premises, the Building and/or the Project, and instead to terminate this Lease, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage, such notice to include a termination date giving Tenant not less than thirty (30) days to vacate the Premises, but Landlord may so elect only if the Building or the Project shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, whether or not the Premises are affected, and one or more of the following conditions is present: (i) in Landlords reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within ninety (90) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums); (ii) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or the Project or ground Landlord with respect to the Building or the Project shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; (iii) the damage is not fully covered by Landlords insurance policies or would have been covered by
-21-
policies that Landlord was required to maintain under this Lease if such policies were not in fact maintained by Landlord (other than deductible amounts to be paid by tenants of the Building or the Project); (iv) Landlord decides to rebuild the Building or the Project so that they will be substantially different structurally or architecturally; or (v) the damage occurs during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term and, in Landlords reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within sixty (60) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums).
Section 8.02 Waiver of Civil Code Remedies. Tenant hereby expressly waives any rights to terminate this Lease upon damage or destruction to the Premises, including without limitation any rights pursuant to the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivisions 1 and 2 and Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the California Civil Code, as amended from time to time, and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted
Section 8.03 No Abatement of Rentals. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8.01(a) above, the Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges due under this Lease shall not be reduced or abated by reason of any damage or destruction to the Premises, and Landlord shall be entitled to all proceeds of the insurance maintained pursuant to Section 7.01 above. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenants business (including, without limitation, loss of business, profits or goodwill), resulting in any way from any damage or the repair thereof.
Section 8.04 No Liability for Tenants Alterations or Personal Property. In no event shall Landlord have any liability for, nor shall it be required to repair or restore, any injury or damage to Tenants Alterations or personal property or to any other personal property of others in or upon the Premises, the Building or the Project.
ARTICLE IX

Section 9.01 Payment of Taxes.
(a) Tenant shall pay Tenants Office Share or Tenants Project Share of Real Property Taxes, as relevant, as is provided for in Section 4.05 above.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein below, if at any time during the Lease Term, the State of California or any political subdivision of the state, including any county, city, city and county, public corporation, district, or any other political entity or public corporation of this state, levies or assesses against Landlord a tax, fee, charge, imposition or excise on rents under leases of space in the Building or the Project, the square footage of the Building or the Project, the act of entering into leases of space in the Building or the Project, or the occupancy of tenants of the Building or the Project, or levies or assesses against Landlord any other tax, fee, or excise, however described, including, without limitation, a so-called value added, business license, transit, commuter, environmental or energy tax fee, charge or excise or imposition related to the Building or the Project, as a direct substitution in whole or in part for, or in addition to, any Real Property Taxes (collectively, Additional Real Property Taxes), then the same shall be included in Real Property Taxes for all purposes hereunder; provided that,
-22-
notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Additional Real Property Taxes pertain solely to (i) Rent under this Lease (as opposed to under all leases of space in the Building or the Project), (ii) the square footage of the Premises (as opposed to the square footage of the Building or the Project), (iii) the act of entering into this Lease, or (iv) the occupancy of Tenant (as opposed to all tenants or occupants of the Building or the Project) (as opposed to all leases of space in the Building or the Project), then such Additional Real Property Taxes shall not be included in Real Property Taxes, and shall be the sole obligation and liability of Tenant and shall be paid by Tenant, as Additional Rent, prior to delinquency (or, if such Additional Real Property Taxes are levied against Landlord or Landlords property, then Landlord shall pay the same before delinquency and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the amount of the same within ten (10) days after written demand accompanied by a copy of Landlords tax bill); and further provided that, if any such Additional Real Property Taxes pertain not only to the project, but to additional property of Landlord located outside the Project as well, then Real Property Taxes shall only include a portion of such Additional Real Property Taxes, which portion shall be computed upon the amounts and at the rates that otherwise would be payable if the Project were the only property of Landlord.
(c) Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of all tax and assessment bills on the Premises promptly upon Landlords receipt of Tenants written request therefor, and Landlord shall also provide to Tenant evidence of payment promptly upon Landlords receipt of Tenants written request therefor.
(d) With respect to taxes and assessments which may lawfully be paid in installments, Real Property Taxes for any period during the Lease Term shall include only such portion of the same which is payable within such period and any interest payable thereon computed (whether or not such is the case) as if Landlord had elected to pay the same over the longest period permitted by law.
(e) If Landlord shall obtain any abatement or refund on account of any Real Property Taxes or other Additional Real Property Taxes as to which Tenant shall have made payments hereunder, then Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant an equitable portion of any such abatement or refund after deducting therefrom the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in obtaining such abatement or refund.
Section 9.02 Proration for Partial Years. If any Real Property Taxes or Additional Real Property Taxes to be paid by Tenant shall cover any period prior to the Commencement Date or after the Expiration Date, then Tenants Share of such Real Property taxes shall be prorated on a day-for-day basis such that the amount actually paid or reimbursement by Tenant covers only the period of time within the applicable tax fiscal year during which this Lease shall be in effect.
Section 9.03 Personal Property Taxes.
(a) Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes imposed, assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property of Tenant contained in, on or about the Premises. When possible, Tenant shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of Landlord.
-23-
(b) If any of Tenants said personal property shall be assessed with Landlords real property, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount of taxes attributable to Tenants personal property within ten (10) days after Tenants receipt of a written statement thereof.
(c) If Tenant shall fail to make timely payment of any such taxes pursuant to Sections 9.03(a) or (b), Landlord shall have the right to pay the same, in which case Tenant shall repay such amount to Landlord, as Additional Rent, with Tenants next installment of Rent, together with interest at the Agreed Rate (as defined in Section 17.02 below).
ARTICLE X
UTILITIES
Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency and throughout the Lease Term, all charges for water, gas, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, cooling, sewer, telephone, electricity, garbage, janitorial service, landscaping and all other services and utilities supplied to the Premises, including Tenants Share of any such services or utilities which are not separately metered for or billed to the Premises. Landlord may, at Tenants expense, install devices which separately meter Tenants consumption of utilities. All charges for utilities and services which are separately metered to the Premises or which are provided directly to Tenant or the Premises by utility companies or third party providers shall be included in Operating Expenses and paid directly by Tenant to such utility companies or third party providers prior to delinquency. All charges for utilities and services for the sole benefit of Tenant or the Premises which are billed to any paid by Landlord directly shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord based on Tenants Office Share of Operating Expenses. All other charges for utilities and services shall be included in Operating Expenses recoverable by Landlord in accordance with Article IV. The disruption, failure, lack or shortage of any service or utility provided by Landlord with respect to the Premises, the Building or the Project due to any cause whatsoever shall not affect any obligation of Tenant hereunder, and Tenant shall faithfully keep and observe all the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease and pay all Rent due hereunder, all without diminution, credit or deduction; provided, however, if such disruption, failure, lack or shortage is caused by Landlords failure to observe or perform its obligations hereunder, then, within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying such failure, Landlord shall initiate the cure of such failure and thereafter shall diligently prosecute said cure to completion.
ARTICLE XI
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 11.01 Landlords Consent Required. Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, license or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Tenants interest in this Lease or in the Premises or any part thereof, without Landlords prior written consent; provided, however, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment of this Lease or a subletting of all or a portion of the Premises. Landlord shall respond in writing to Tenants request for consent hereunder in a timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance, subletting or licensing without such consent shall be void, and shall constitute a breach of this Lease. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for Landlords reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys fees, architect fees and engineering fees) involved in reviewing any request for consent whether or not such consent is granted.
-24-
Section 11.02 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XI without Landlords consent (but upon written notice to Landlord), Tenant (i) shall be permitted to assign this Lease to any entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with Tenant (whether by merger, acquisition or otherwise), and (ii) shall be permitted to engage in any merger or acquisition transaction or a sale of all or substantially all of Tenants assets, so long as such successor entity pursuant to either of the foregoing items (i) and (ii) has a net worth and liquidity at least comparable to that of Tenant as of the Commencement Date.
Section 11.03 No Release of Tenant. Regardless of whether or not Landlords consent is required or obtained, no subletting or assignment shall release Tenant of Tenants obligations under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. In the event of any default in the payment of Rent or performance of any obligation hereunder by any assignee or successor of Tenant, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee or successor.
Section 11.04 Excess Rent. In the event Landlord shall consent to a sublease or an assignment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, fifty percent (50%) of all sums (including the fair market value of all non-cash consideration) collected or received by Tenant from a subtenant or assignee which are in excess of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due and payable with respect to the subject space pursuant to Article IV for the time period encompassed by the sublease or assignment term, after first deducting reasonable leasing commissions, legal fees and reasonable tenant improvement costs actually paid by Tenant with respect to such sublease or assignment, and in the case of a sublease, amortized over the time period encompassed by the sublease or assignment term. With respect to an assignment, Tenant shall make such payment on the effective date of such assignment. With respect to a sublease, Tenant shall make such payment, in advance, on a monthly basis with its regularly scheduled Base Rent payments.
Section 11.05 Information to be Provided. Tenants written request to Landlord for consent to an assignment or subletting or other form of transfer shall be accompanied by (a) the name and legal composition of the proposed transferee; (b) the nature of the proposed transferees business to be carried on in the Premises; (c) the terms and provisions of the proposed transfer agreement (including, without limitation, a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred, and the effective date of the proposed transfer); (d) a copy of all executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed transfer; and (e) such financial and other reasonable information as Landlord may request concerning the proposed transferee.
Section 11.06 Landlords Recapture Rights.
(a) Landlords Recapture Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XI if Tenant desires to assign, sublease or otherwise transfer to any person or entity any
-25-
interest in this Lease or the Premises or any part thereof, then Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a written request for consent, together with all of the information specified in Section 11.05 above. If such transfer (together with all other assignments, subleases or transfers then in effect) would affect more than fifty percent (50%) of the Rentable Area of the Premises in the aggregate (such total affected portion of the Rentable Area of the Premises being referred to herein as the Recapture Space), then Landlord shall have the option to recapture the Recapture Space, which option shall be exercisable only by giving written notice to Tenant (Recapture Notice) within thirty (30) days after Landlords receipt of Tenants request for consent. Upon Landlords timely delivery of a Recapture Notice to Tenant, this Lease shall terminate this Lease with respect to the Recapture Space effective on the date that is specified in Tenants request for consent as the effective date of the proposed transfer. Landlords recapture rights shall be subject to the rights of any assignee, subtenant or other transferee of Tenant, as set forth in any assignment, sublease or other transfer agreement to which Landlord previously has consented, but subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Landlords consent thereto; any such assignment, sublease or other transfer agreement shall be assigned to Landlord as of the effective date of Landlords recapture.
(b) Consequences of Recapture. If Landlord recaptures less than the entire Premises pursuant to Section 11.06(a) above, then the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis the of the Rentable Area of the portion of the Premises retained by Tenant in proportion to the Rentable Area contained in the Premises. This Lease, as so amended, shall continue thereafter in full force and effect. Either party may require written confirmation of the amendments to this Lease necessitated by Landlords recapture of the Recapture Space. If Landlord recaptures the Recapture Space, then Landlord, at Landlords sole expense, shall construct, paint, and furnish any partitions required to segregate the Recapture Space from the remaining Premises retained by Tenant, as well as arrange for separate provision of utilities and services (including, at Landlords option, installation of separate meters if and to the extent the premises are served by separately metered utilities).
ARTICLE XII
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
Section 12.01 Defaults. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
(a) The vacation or abandonment of all or a substantial portion of the Premises by Tenant, or the commission of waste at the Premises, or the making of an assignment, subletting or other transfer in violation of Article XI;
(b) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Base Rent within three (3) days of written notice thereof from Landlord; provided, however, that for any non-payment of Base Rent as and when due after the first such non-payment within a twelve (12) month period no such notice or grace period shall apply and such subsequent non-payment of Base Rent as and when due shall be an immediate material default. In the event that Landlord serves Tenant with a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit in the form required by applicable law, such Notice shall constitute the notice required by this paragraph;
-26-
(c) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of any other sum owing under this Lease as and when due, if such failure continues for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. In the event that Landlord serves Tenant with a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit in the form required by applicable law, such Notice shall constitute the notice required by this paragraph;
(d) Tenants failure to provide (i) the Security Deposit or any replenishment thereof as required by Section 4.06, (ii) any instrument or assurance as required by Section 7.05 or (iii) estoppel certificate as required by Section 15.01 or (iv) any document subordinating this Lease to a Lenders deed of trust as required by Section 17.13, if any such failure continues for five (5) business days after written notice of the failure. In the event Landlord serves Tenant with a Notice to Perform Covenant or Quit in the form required by applicable law, such Notice shall constitute the notice required by this paragraph, provided that the cure period stated in such Notice shall be five (5) business days rather than the statutory three (3) day period;
(e) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than described in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 12.01, if such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenants default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion. In the event Landlord serves Tenant with a Notice to Perform Covenant or Quit in the form required by applicable law, such Notice shall constitute the notice required by this paragraph, provided that the cure period stated in such Notice shall be thirty (30) days rather than the statutory three (3) day period;
(f) (i) The making by Tenant of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by Tenant of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under Title 11 U.S.C. or the filing of an involuntary petition against Tenant which remains uncontested for a period of sixty (60) days; (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenants assets located at the Premises or of Tenants interest in this Lease; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenants assets located at the Premises or of Tenants interest in this Lease, provided, however, in the event that any provisions of this Section 12.01(e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect;
(g) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement given to Landlord by Tenant, or any guarantor of Tenants obligations hereunder, was materially false when given; and
(h) The occurrence of a material default and breach by Tenant under any other lease between Tenant and Landlord or any Affiliate thereof for space in the Project.
Section 12.02 Remedies. In the event of any such material default and breach by Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter, and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such default and breach:
-27-
(a) Terminate Tenants right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenants default including, but not limited to, (i) the cost of recovering possession of the Premises including reasonable attorneys fees related thereto; (ii) the worth at the time of the award of any unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time of the termination, to be computed by allowing interest at the Agreed Rate but in no case greater than the maximum amount of interest permitted by law, (iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have been earned between the time of the termination and the time of the award exceeds the amount of unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided, to be computed by allowing interest at the Agreed Rate but in no case greater than the maximum amount of interest permitted by law, (iv) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of unpaid Rent that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided, to be computed by discounting that amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus one percent (1%), (v) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenants failure to perform obligations under this Lease, including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses, expenses of remodeling the Premises for a new tenant (whether for the same or a different use), and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant, and (vi) any other amounts, in addition to or in lieu of those listed above, that may be ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator, or permitted by applicable law.
(b) Maintain Tenants right to possession as provided in Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue lease in effect after Tenants breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In such event Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlords rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent as it becomes due hereunder.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the State of California.
Section 12.03 Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying that Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlords obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for performance then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In the event Landlord does not commence performance of any maintenance or repair required of Landlord hereunder within the thirty (30) day period provided herein, and in the event that such maintenance or repair relates to improvements which are wholly within the Premises (not including any building core systems or equipment), Tenant may perform such maintenance or repair, and Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by
-28-
Landlord of Tenants reasonable costs and expenses in taking such action, together with interest thereon at the Agreed Rate. Tenant waives any right to terminate this Lease or to vacate the Premises on Landlords default under this Lease. Tenants sole remedy on Landlords default is an action for damages or injunctive or declaratory relief.
Section 12.04 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlords designated agent within five (5) days after such amount is due and owing, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such unpaid amount each time a late charge is payable during the Lease Term. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenants default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive installments of Rent, then Rent shall automatically become due and payable quarterly in advance, rather than monthly, notwithstanding Section 4.01 or any other provision of this Lease to the contrary.
Section 12.05 Landlords Right to Perform Tenants Obligations. All obligations to be performed or observed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed or observed by Tenant at Tenants expense and without any reduction of Rent. Landlord may perform or observe any obligation of Tenant which is in default hereunder, without waiving Landlords other rights and remedies for Tenants failure to perform or observe any obligations under this Lease and without releasing Tenant from any such obligations. Within ten (10) days after receiving a statement from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of expense reasonably incurred by Landlord in performing or observing Tenants obligation.
ARTICLE XIII
CONDEMNATION OF PREMISES
Section 13.01 Total Condemnation. If the entire Premises shall be taken by condemnation at any time during the Lease Term (whether by exercise of governmental power or the sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor under threat of condemnation or while proceedings for condemnation are pending) such that there does not remain a portion suitable for occupation, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date transfer of possession is required. Upon such condemnation, all Rent shall be paid up to the date transfer of possession is required, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the award for the value of the unexpired portion of the Lease Term.
Section 13.02 Partial Condemnation. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 13.02, if any portion of the Premises is taken by condemnation during the Lease Term (whether by exercise of governmental power or the sale or transfer by Landlord to any
-29-
condemnor under threat of condemnation or while proceedings for condemnation are pending), then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. If more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the total Rentable Area of the Premises is taken by condemnation, or if a partial taking leaves the Premises unfit for the conduct of Tenants business, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of the date transfer of possession is required. In addition, if more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the total Rentable Area of the Premises is taken by condemnation, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of the date transfer of possession is required. Tenant and Landlord may elect to exercise their respective rights to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 13.02, if at all, by delivering written notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such condemnation. All Rent shall be paid up to the date of termination, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of the unexpired portion of the Lease Term. If this Lease shall not be terminated, then the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis the of the Rentable Area of the portion of the Premises retained by Tenant in proportion to the Rentable Area contained in the Premises immediately prior to the partial taking. If Tenants continued use of the Premises requires alterations and repair by reason of a partial taking, all such alterations and repair shall be made by Landlord to the extent of any award received by Landlord in connection with such partial taking. Tenant waives all rights it may have under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 or otherwise, to terminate this Lease based on partial condemnation.

Tenant shall execute and deliver any commercially reasonable documents confirming the subordination of this Lease within ten (10) days after delivery of same by Landlord, so long as the mortgagee, beneficiary, or ground or underlying lessor agrees therein that this Lease will not be terminated if Tenant is not in default following either the foreclosure of any such mortgage, deed or trust or other encumbrance (or the granting of a deed in lieu thereof) or the termination of any such ground or underlying lease.

The First Refusal Exercise Notice shall irrevocably designate the Offer Space. If Tenant fails to respond with the five (5) business day period, Landlord may proceed to finalize its lease transaction with the third party tenant, and Tenant shall have no further right to lease the Offer Space under this Section 17.26.

(ii) The following provisions shall not be included in the Offer Space Lease: Sections 4.01(c), this Section 17.26 and the provisions of this Lease obligating Landlord to construct or pay for any tenant improvements to ready the Premises for Tenants use, except and to the extent (if any) comparable terms are included in the Signed Proposal.

(c) It is understood and agreed that the first refusal right contained in this Section 17.26 is personal to the originally-named Tenant in this Lease and is not transferable. In the event of any assignment or subletting of the Premises or any part thereof, the Right of First Refusal shall automatically terminate and shall thereafter be null and void. Tenants exercise of the Right of First Refusal shall, if Landlord so elects in its absolute discretion, be ineffective in the event that an default by Tenant remains uncured at the time of delivery of the First Refusal Exercise Notice or upon the date on which the Offer Space is to be added to the Premises leased hereunder.

Work Letter Agreement For Landlords
Work and Interior Specification Standards
This Work Letter Agreement (Work Letter) shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the Premises. This Work Letter is essentially organized chronologically and is intended to address the issues of construction, in sequence, as such issues will arise during the actual construction of the Premises. All references in this Work Letter to Articles or Sections of the Lease shall mean the relevant portions of the above referenced Lease to which this Work Letter is attached as Exhibit C, and all references in this Work Letter to Sections of this Work Letter shall mean the relevant portions of Sections 1 through 4 of this Work Letter. Landlord herein shall have the same meaning as Landlord in the Lease and Tenant herein shall have the same meaning as Tenant in the Lease.
SECTION 1
LANDLORD IMPROVEMENTS
1.1 Improvements to be Constructed by Landlord. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant and Tenant shall accept the Premises in its as-is condition existing as of the date of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in accordance with the Final Space Plan (as defined below) with the improvements listed in Schedule 1 attached hereto and described in more detail in the Approved Working Drawings (as defined below) (the Landlords Work) completed.
SECTION 2
CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
2.1 Final Space Plan. Prior to the execution of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant have approved a detailed space plan for the construction of the improvements in the Premises described in Schedule 1 attached hereto, which space plan has been prepared by DES (the Final Space Plan).
2.2 Drawings. Based upon and in conformity with the Final Space Plan, Landlord shall cause its architect (the Architect) and engineers (the Engineers) to prepare and deliver to Tenant, for Tenants approval, detailed specifications and engineered working drawings for the improvements shown on the Final Space Plan (the Working Drawings). The Working Drawings shall incorporate modifications to the Final Space Plan as necessary to comply with the floor load and other structural and system requirements of the Building. To the extent that the finishes and specifications are not completely set forth in the Final Space Plan for any portion of the Landlords Work depicted thereon, the actual specifications and finish work shall be in accordance with the specifications for the Buildings standard tenant improvement items, as determined by Landlord. Within three (3) business days after Tenants receipt of the Working Drawings, Tenant shall approve or disapprove the same, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Tenant may only disapprove the Working Drawings to the extent such Working Drawings are inconsistent with the Final Space Plan and only if Tenant delivers to Landlord, within such three (3) business days period, specific changes
C-1
proposed by Tenant which are consistent with the Final Space Plan and do not constitute changes which would result in any of the circumstances described in items (i) through (iv) below. If any such revisions are timely and properly proposed by Tenant, Landlord shall cause the Architect and Engineers to revise the Working Drawings to incorporate such revisions and submit the same for Tenants approval in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and the parties shall follow the foregoing procedures for approving the Working Drawings until the same are finally approved by Landlord and Tenant. Upon Landlords and Tenants approval of the Working Drawings, the same shall be known as the Approved Working Drawings. The Final Space Plan, Working Drawings and Approved Working Drawings shall be collectively referred to herein, as the Construction Drawings.
2.3 Changes. Once the Approved Working Drawings have been approved by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall not have the right to make any changes, change orders or modifications thereto without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in Landlords sole discretion if such change or modification would: (i) directly or indirectly delay Substantial Completion (as hereinafter defined); (ii) increase the cost of designing or constructing the Landlords Work above the cost of the tenant Improvements depicted in the Final Space Plan; (iii) be of a quality lower than the quality of the standard tenant improvement items for the Building; and/or (iv) require any changes to the base, shell and core or structural improvements or systems of the Building.
SECTION 3
CONSTRUCTION AND COMPLETION
3.1 Construction. Landlord shall cause a contractor designated by Landlord (the Contractor) to (i) obtain all applicable building permits for construction of the Landlords Work, and (ii) construct the Landlords Work as depicted on the Approved Working Drawings, in compliance with such building permits and all applicable laws in effect at the time of construction, and in good workmanlike manner. Except as otherwise provided in this Tenant Work Letter, Landlord shall pay for the cost of the design and construction of the Landlords Work. In the event Tenant requests any changes, change orders or modifications to the Working Drawings and/or the Approved Working Drawings (which Landlord approves pursuant to Section 2.3 above) which increase the cost to construct the Landlords Work above the cost of the tenant improvements as described in the Final Space Plan, Tenant shall pay such increased cost to Landlord immediately upon Landlords request therefor, and, in any event, prior to the date Landlord causes the Contractor to commence construction of the changes, change orders or modifications. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to pay for any of Tenants furniture, computer systems, telephone systems, equipment or other personal property which may be depicted on the Construction Drawings; such items shall be paid for by Tenant.
3.2 Substantial Completion. For purposes of the Lease, including for purposes of determining the Commencement Date, Substantial Completion of the Premises and the date on which the Landlords Work are Substantially Completed shall occur upon (i) the completion of construction of the Landlords Work in the Premises pursuant to the Approved Working Drawings, with the exception of any punch list items that do not materially and adversely affect Tenants use and occupancy of the Premises and any tenant fixtures, workstations, built-in furniture, or equipment to be installed by Tenant or under the supervision of Contractor and (ii) receipt of a certificate of occupancy (or equivalent local government permit or approval), to the extent applicable, with respect to the Premises.
C-2
3.3 Delay of the Substantial Completion. If there shall be a delay or there are delays in the Substantial Completion of the Premises as a direct, indirect, partial, or total result of any of the following (collectively, Tenant Delays):
(a) Tenants failure to timely approve the Working Drawings or any other matter requiring Tenants approval;
(b) a breach by Tenant of the terms of this Tenant Work Letter or the Lease;
(c) Tenants request for changes in any of the Construction Drawings;
(d) Tenants requirement for materials, components, finishes or improvements which are not available in a commercially reasonable time given the estimated date of Substantial Completion of the Premises, as set forth in the Lease, or which are different from, or not included in, Landlords standard tenant improvement items for the Building;
(e) changes to the base, shell and core, structural components or structural components or systems of the Building required by the Approved Working Drawings; and
(f) any other acts or omissions of Tenant, or its agents, or employees;
then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease and regardless of the actual date of Substantial Completion, the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the date the Commencement Date would have occurred if no Tenant Delays, as set forth above, had occurred.
SECTION 4
MISCELLANEOUS
4.1 Tenants Representative. Tenant has designated Kelliann McCabe as its sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Work Letter, who shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of Tenant as required in this Work Letter.
4.2 Landlords Representative. Landlord has designated Janette DElia as its sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Work Letter, who shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of Landlord as required in this Work Letter.

4.4 Tenants Lease Default. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Lease, if any material default as described in Section 12.01 of Lease or failure by Tenant
C-3
to timely observe or perform an obligation under this Work Letter has occurred at any time on or before Substantial Completion of the Landlords Work, then (i) in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to cease the construction of the Landlords Work (in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any further delay in Substantial Completion caused by such work stoppage), and (ii) all other obligations of Landlord under the terms of this Work Letter shall be forgiven until such time as such default is cured pursuant to the terms of the Lease (in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in Substantial Completion of the Landlords Work caused by such inaction by Landlord), and (iii) the date on which payment of Base Rent is to commence under the Lease shall not be affected. In addition, if the Lease is terminated prior to the Commencement Date, for any reason due to an Event of Default by Tenant under the Lease or a default under this Work Letter, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord under the Lease, at law and/or in equity, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent under the Lease, within five (5) days of receipt of a statement therefor, any and all costs incurred by Landlord and not reimbursed or otherwise paid by Tenant through the date of such termination in connection with the Landlords Work to the extent planned, installed and/or constructed as of such date of termination, including, but not limited to, any costs related to the removal of all or any portion of the Landlords Work and restoration costs related thereto.
