In addition, Landlord grants to Tenant the right to use, on a non-exclusive basis and in common with others, the Common Areas.
(b) Use of Conference Room and Shower Located on the First Floor of the Building. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that, as of the date of this Lease, a conference room and a shower are located on the first (1st) floor of the Building. The conference room and the shower located on the first (1st) floor of the Building shall collectively be referred to herein as the First Floor Amenities. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right, at no additional cost to Tenant (except as otherwise provided below), to use the First Floor Amenities, subject to the following conditions: (i) any such use shall be subject to Landlords reasonable and non-discriminatory rules and regulations and be in compliance with all applicable Requirements; (ii) any such use shall not interfere unreasonably with any other tenants use of the Project; and (iii) Tenants indemnification and insurance obligations in Articles 11 and 26 of this Lease shall be fully applicable to Tenants use of the First Floor Amenities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenants right to use the First Floor Amenities shall terminate and be of no further force effect upon Landlords written notice to Tenant that Landlord has leased the space on the first (1st) floor of the Building, upon which the First Floor Amenities are located, to a third party on an exclusive basis.
Section 2.2 Commencement Date. Upon the Effective Date (as that term is defined in Exhibit B, attached hereto), the terms and provisions hereof shall be fully binding on Landlord and Tenant. The Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date. Unless sooner terminated or extended as may be hereinafter provided, the Term shall end on the Expiration Date.
Section 2.3 Payment of Rent.
(a) In General. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without notice or demand, and without any set-off, counterclaim, abatement or deduction whatsoever, except as may be expressly set forth in this Lease, in lawful money of the United States by check or wire transfer of funds, (i) Fixed Rent in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each month during the Term, commencing on the Commencement Date, and (ii) Additional Rent, at the times and in the manner set forth in this Lease.
(b) Abatement of Rent. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant currently pays a monthly fee equal to $369,541.55 in connection with Tenants lease of the entire Building pursuant to the Sublease, as that term is defined in Article 4, below. Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent (each, the Abatement Amount) under the Sublease in an amount equal to (i) $135,560.60 per month for the period commencing on January 1, 2010 and continuing through and including May 31, 2010 and (ii) $117,485.94 for the period commencing on June 1, 2010 and continuing through and including June 26, 2010.

Section 2.4 First Months Rent. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant is obligated to pay one months Fixed Rent upon the execution of this Lease (Advance Rent). Landlord and Tenant hereby agree, however, that in lieu of Tenants obligation to deliver the Advance Rent upon execution of this Lease, the Advance Rent shall be deducted from the Abatement Amount otherwise due from Landlord, and applied as set forth below.

Section 2.5 Renewal Term.
(a) Renewal Term. Subject to the terms of this Section 2.5, Landlord hereby grants to the originally named Tenant (Original Tenant), and any Related Entity (defined in Section 13.8, below) to whom this Lease is assigned (an Affiliate Assignee), the right to renew the initial Term for all of the initial Premises and, at its option, any First Offer Space, as that term is defined in Section 2.6, below for one renewal term of five (5) years (the Renewal Term) commencing on the day after the expiration of the initial Term (the Renewal Term Commencement Date) and ending (the Renewal Term Expiration Date) on the day immediately preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Renewal Term Commencement Date, unless the Renewal Term shall sooner terminate pursuant to any of the terms of this Lease or otherwise. The Renewal Term shall commence only if (i) Tenant notifies Landlord in writing (the Exercise Notice) of Tenants exercise of such renewal right not later than nine (9) months, prior to the Expiration Date, (ii) at the time of the exercise of such right and immediately prior to the Renewal Term Commencement Date, no material non-monetary and no monetary default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period set forth herein shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, and (iii) Tenant exercises its renewal option, if at all with respect to the entire Premises, excluding any First Offer Space; provided that Tenant shall, in the Exercise Notice, designate whether Tenant is exercising the renewal right with respect to any First Offer Space then being leased by Tenant, the term of which First Offer Space expires prior to the Renewal Term Expiration Date. In the event that Tenant elects to renew the Term of the Lease pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.5, but fails to designate whether Tenant desires to renew the term of any First Offer Space in the Exercise Notice, then Tenant shall be deemed to have elected to extend the term of all First Offer Space. In the event that Tenant elects, or is deemed to have elected, to renew the term of any First Offer Space then being leased by Tenant, then the extended term of any such First Offer Space shall commence (the First Offer Renewal Commencement Date) following the expiration of the applicable First Offer Term (defined in Section 2.6(e), below), and shall thereafter expire on the Renewal Term Expiration Date. The period commencing on the First Offer Renewal Commencement Date and expiring on the Renewal Term Expiration Date shall be referred to herein as the First Offer Renewal Term. Time is of the essence with respect to the giving of the Exercise Notice. The Renewal Term shall be upon all of the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except that (a) the Rent for the Renewal Term shall be as set forth in Section 2.5(b) below and (b) if Tenant exercises the renewal option set forth in this Section 2.5, then Tenant shall have no further right to renew the Term unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant. Upon the commencement of the Renewal Term, (1) the Renewal Term shall be added to and become part of the Term, (2) any reference to this Lease, to the Term, the term of this Lease or any similar expression shall be deemed to include the Renewal Term and (3) the expiration of the Renewal Term shall become the Expiration Date. Any termination, cancellation or surrender of the entire interest of Tenant under this Lease at any time during the Term shall automatically terminate the renewal right set forth in this Section 2.5. The terms of this Section 2.5 shall be applicable to Tenants lease of the First Offer Space subject to the terms set forth herein.
-4-
(b) Renewal Term Rent. The annual Fixed Rent payable by Tenant for the initial Premises (i.e., excluding any First Offer Space) during the Renewal Term shall be equal to Twenty-Two and 80/100 Dollars ($22.80) per rentable square foot of the Premises (the Renewal Rent), which Renewal Rent shall be subject to a three percent (3%) increase effective on the first anniversary of the commencement of the Renewal Term and on each anniversary of the Renewal Term thereafter. The Base Year during the Renewal Term for the initial Premises only shall be calendar year 2013. In the event that Tenant elects to renew, or is deemed to have elected to renew, the term of any First Offer Space then being leased by Tenant, the rent (the First Offer Renewal Rent) payable by Tenant for any such First Offer Space during the First Offer Renewal Term shall be equal to the annual Fair Market Value, as that term is defined in Section 2.6(c), below, of the First Offer Space as of the First Offer Renewal Commencement Date, provided that such First Offer Renewal Rent shall be determined at the time that the Fair Market Value is determined for any such First Offer Space for the applicable First Offer Term.
(c) Renewal Allowance. In the event that Tenant elects to renew the Term, then Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, on or before January 31, 2013, an amount equal to $1,936,580.00 (the Renewal Allowance) (i.e., $20.00 per rentable square feet of the initial Premises), which may be used by Tenant for costs relating to the design and construction of improvements in the Premises and/or for moving related expenses or as a payment against the Rent due under this Lease.
Section 2.6 Right of First Offer. Landlord hereby grants to the Original Tenant a continuous right of first offer with respect to all leasable areas located on the first (1st), second (2nd) and ninth (9th) floors of the Building, which space is not part of the Premises as of the date of this Lease (collectively, the First Offer Space); provided that the First Offer Space shall exclude any Common Areas located on the floors upon which the First Offer Space is located, which Common Areas shall be designated by Landlord. Tenants right of first offer shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.6.
(a) Procedure for Offer. Landlord shall notify Tenant (the First Offer Notice) from time to time when and if Landlord receives a third party offer for lease of the First Offer Space. Pursuant to such First Offer Notice, Landlord shall offer to lease to Tenant the First Offer Space. The First Offer Notice shall describe the space so offered to Tenant and set forth the First Offer Rent, as that term is defined in Section 2.6(c), below, the First Offer Renewal Rent and other economic terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such space to Tenant. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the First Offer Renewal Rent shall be determined concurrently with the determination of the First Offer Rent for the applicable First Offer Term pursuant to the terms of Sections 2.6(c) and (d), below.
(b) Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenants right of first offer with respect to the space described in the First Offer Notice, then within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver notice to Landlord (the First Offer Exercise Notice) irrevocably exercising its right of first offer with respect to the entire space described in the First Offer Notice on the terms contained in such notice, except that, if Tenant wishes to dispute Landlords determination of First Offer Rent or the First Offer Renewal Rent set forth in the First Offer Notice, then Tenants First Offer Exercise Notice shall so notify Landlord of such dispute, and the First Offer Rent or the First Offer Renewal Rent, as the case may be, shall be determined in accordance with Sections 2.6(c) and 2.6(f) below. If Tenant does not deliver the First Offer Exercise Notice to Landlord within the ten (10) Business Day period, then Landlord shall be free to lease the space described in the First Offer Notice to anyone to whom Landlord desires on any terms Landlord desires for a period of twelve (12) months following Landlords delivery of the First Offer Notice; provided, however, that Tenants continuing First Offer Right for such space shall thereafter arise only following the expiration of such twelve (12) month period if Landlord has failed to lease such space or following the expiration or earlier termination of such lease of such space (including renewals thereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant must elect to exercise its right of first offer, if at all, with respect to all of the space offered by Landlord to Tenant at any particular time, and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion thereof.
-5-
(c) First Offer Rent and First Offer Renewal Rent. The rent payable by Tenant for the First Offer Space during the First Offer Term (the First Offer Rent) and the First Offer Renewal Rent, as applicable, shall be equal to the annual Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of the First Offer Space as of the First Offer Commencement Date, as that term is defined in Section 2.6(e) below, and the First Offer Renewal Commencement Date, as applicable (each, the Calculation Date). Fair Market Value shall mean the fair market annual rent (including additional rent and considering any base year or expense stop applicable thereto), taking into account all escalations, at which, as of the Calculation Date, tenants are leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered, non-equity, non-renewal space comparable in size, location and quality to the First Offer Space for a term equal to the First Offer Term (as that term is defined in Section 2.6(e), below) or for a term equal to the First Offer Renewal Term, as applicable, in an arms-length transaction, which comparable space is located in the Building or in the Comparable Buildings, as that term is defined in Exhibit B attached hereto, and which comparable transactions (collectively, the Comparable Transactions) are entered into within the six (6) month period immediately preceding Landlords delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant, taking into consideration the following concessions (the Concessions): (a) rental abatement concessions, if any, being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space; (b) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, taking into account, and deducting the value of, the existing improvements in the First Offer Space, such value to be based upon the age, condition, design, quality of finishes and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same can be utilized by a general office user; and (c) other reasonable monetary concessions being granted such tenants in connection with such comparable space; provided, however, that in calculating the Fair Market Value, no consideration shall be given to the fact that Landlord is or is not required to pay a real estate brokerage commission in connection with Tenants lease of the First Offer Space or the fact that landlords are or are not paying real estate brokerage commissions in connection with such comparable space. The determination of Fair Market Value shall additionally include a determination (the Financial Security Determination) as to whether, and if so to what extent, Tenant must provide Landlord with financial security, such as a letter of credit or guaranty, for Tenants rent obligations in connection with Tenants lease of the First Offer Space during the First Offer Term or the First Offer Renewal Term, as applicable. Such determination shall be made by reviewing the extent of financial security then generally being imposed in Comparable Transactions from tenants of comparable financial condition and credit history to the then existing financial condition and credit history of Tenant (with appropriate adjustments to account for differences in the then-existing financial condition of Tenant and such other tenants).
(d) Construction In First Offer Space. Subject to any concessions granted to Tenant in accordance with Section 2.6(c), above, Tenant shall take the First Offer Space in its as is condition, and the construction of improvements in the First Offer Space shall comply with the terms of Article 5 of this Lease.
(e) Amendment to Lease. If Tenant timely exercises Tenants right to lease the First Offer Space as set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly thereafter execute a lease amendment for such First Offer Space upon the terms and conditions as set forth in the First Offer Notice and this Section 2.6; provided, however, an otherwise valid exercise of such right of first offer shall be fully effective whether or not a lease amendment is executed. Tenant shall commence payment of Rent for the First Offer Space, and the term (the First Offer Term) of the First Offer Space shall commence upon such commencement date (the First Offer Commencement Date) as is determined as a part of the determination of the Fair Market Value of the First Offer Space in accordance with Section 2.6(c), above, and shall terminate on the date set forth in the First Offer Notice, provided that in the event that Tenant exercises its right of first offer (i) (x) during the initial Term of this Lease or (y) during the Renewal Term with respect to First Offer Space consisting of more than 10,000 rentable square feet of space and (ii) the First Offer Notice sets forth a First Offer Term longer than three (3) years, then Tenant, may designate in its First Offer Exercise Notice, that Tenant desires to lease the First Offer Space for a period of three (3) years only. In the event that Tenant fails to make such a designation in the First Offer Exercise Notice, then the First Offer Term shall be as set forth in the First Offer Notice. In the event that Tenant exercises its right of first offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.6 during the Renewal Term with respect to First Offer Space consisting of 10,000 rentable square feet or less, then the First Offer Term shall expire on the Renewal Term Expiration Date.
-6-
(f) Arbitration. If Tenant wishes to dispute Landlords determination of Fair Market Value of the First Offer Space for the First Offer Term and/or the First Offer Renewal Term, then Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of such dispute in the First Offer Exercise Notice. Failure on the part of Tenant to dispute Landlords determination of the Fair Market Value of the First Offer Space for the First Offer Term or the First Offer Renewal Term shall constitute a waiver of the right thereto and the Rent shall be as set forth in the First Offer Notice. In the event Tenant timely and appropriately objects to Landlords determination of Fair Market Value of the First Offer Space for the First Offer Term or the First Offer Renewal Term, Landlord and Tenant shall thereafter attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Value using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within ten (10) Business Days following Tenants objection to the Fair Market Value as set forth in the First Offer Exercise Notice (the Outside Agreement Date) for the First Offer Space, then such dispute shall thereafter be determined by arbitration in accordance with the then prevailing Expedited Procedures of the American Arbitration Association or its successor for arbitration of commercial disputes, except that the Expedited Procedures shall be modified as follows:
(i) Within ten (10) Business Days following the Outside Agreement Date, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the name and address of the person to act as the arbitrator on Tenants behalf. The arbitrator shall be a real estate broker with at least ten (10) years full-time commercial brokerage experience who is familiar with the Fair Market Value of first-class office space in the City of Newport Beach, California. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of the appointment of its arbitrator within such ten (10) Business Day period, and such failure continues for three (3) Business Days after Landlord delivers a second notice to Tenant then the arbitrator appointed by Landlord shall be the arbitrator to determine the Fair Market Value for the First Offer Space. Within ten (10) Business Days following the Outside Agreement Date, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant specifying the name and address of the person designated by Landlord to act as arbitrator on its behalf, which arbitrator shall be similarly qualified. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of the appointment of its arbitrator within such ten (10) Business Day period, and such failure continues for three (3) Business Days after Tenant delivers a second notice to Landlord, then the arbitrator appointed by Tenant shall be the arbitrator to determine the Fair Market Value for the First Offer Space.
(ii) If two arbitrators are chosen pursuant to Section 2.6(f)(i) above, the arbitrators so chosen shall meet within ten (10) Business Days after the second arbitrator is appointed and shall seek to reach agreement on Fair Market Value. If within twenty (20) Business Days after the second arbitrator is appointed the two arbitrators are unable to reach agreement on Fair Market Value then the two arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to those required of the first two arbitrators pursuant to Section 2.6(f)(i) above. If the arbitrators are unable to agree upon such appointment within five (5) Business Days after expiration of such twenty (20) Business Day period, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the parties themselves. If the parties do not agree on the third arbitrator within five (5) Business Days after expiration of the foregoing five (5) Business Day period, then either party, on behalf of both, may request appointment of such a qualified person under the provisions of the American Arbitration Association. The third arbitrator shall decide the dispute, if it has not been previously resolved, by following the procedures set forth in Section 2.6(f)(iii) below. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall share the fees and expenses of the third arbitrator. Attorneys fees and expenses of counsel and of witnesses for the respective parties shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling such witnesses.
(iii) Fair Market Value shall be fixed by the third arbitrator in accordance with the following procedures. Concurrently with the appointment of the third arbitrator, each of the arbitrators selected by the parties shall state, in writing, his or her determination of the Fair Market Value supported by the reasons therefor. The third arbitrator shall have the right to consult experts and competent authorities for factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Fair Market Value, but any such determination shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right on their part to cross-examine. The third arbitrator shall conduct such hearings and investigations as he or she deem appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after being appointed, select which of the two proposed determinations most closely approximates his or her determination of Fair Market Value. The third arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed determinations. The determination he or she chooses as that most closely approximating his or her determination of the Fair Market Value shall constitute the decision of the third arbitrator and shall be final and binding upon the parties. The third arbitrator shall render the decision in writing with counterpart copies to each party. The third arbitrator shall have no power to add to or modify the provisions of this Lease.
-7-
(iv) In the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any arbitrator to act, his or her successor shall be appointed by him or her, but in the case of the third arbitrator, his or her successor shall be appointed in the same manner as that set forth herein with respect to the appointment of the original third arbitrator.
(g) Termination of Right of First Offer. The rights contained in this Section 2.6 shall be personal to the Original Tenant, an Affiliate, as that term is defined in Section 13.8(a), below or any entity to whom this Lease is assigned to (an Assignee) pursuant to the terms of Article 13, below, and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant, an Affiliate or an Assignee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or transferee of the Original Tenants interest in this Lease). The right of first offer granted herein shall terminate as to all First Offer Space and thereafter shall be of no further force or effect on the earlier of the date that is one (1) year prior to the Expiration Date (as the same may be extended hereunder), provided, however, that in the event that (i) Tenants right to renew the Term has not expired and Tenant exercises its right to renew the Term of the Lease pursuant to Section 2.5, above, concurrently with its exercise of its right of first offer in the First Offer Exercise Notice, or (ii) Tenant has previously exercised its right to renew the Term of the Lease, then the right of first offer granted herein shall terminate as to all First Offer Space and thereafter shall be of no further force or effect on the date that is one (1) year prior to the Renewal Term Expiration Date. Additionally, Tenant shall not have the right to lease First Offer Space, as provided in this Section 2.6, if, as of the date of the attempted exercise of any right of first offer by Tenant, or as of the scheduled date of delivery of such First Offer Space to Tenant, Tenant is in material non-monetary or monetary default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period set forth in this Lease.
Section 2.7 Early Termination Right. Provided that Tenant is not in material non-monetary or monetary default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period as of the date of Tenants delivery of the Termination Notice, as that term is defined below, Tenant shall have the one-time option to terminate and cancel this Lease with respect to the initial Premises only (and not any First Offer Space) effective as of December 31, 2011 (the Termination Date), provided that (i) Landlord receives written notice (the Termination Notice) from Tenant on or before June 30, 2011 stating that Tenant is electing to terminate this Lease pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.7, and (ii) Landlord receives from Tenant an amount equal to $813,363.60 (i.e., $8.40 per rentable square feet of the Premises (the Termination Fee)) on or before August 31, 2011, as consideration for and as a condition precedent to such early termination. The termination right contained in this Section 2.7 shall be personal to the Original Tenant and an Affiliate Assignee, and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or an Affiliate Assignee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenants interest in this Lease). In the event that Tenant shall deliver a Termination Notice, Tenant shall thereafter have no rights to exercise its right to lease the First Offer Space and the terms of Section 2.6 shall be void and of no further force or effect (but such delivery of the Termination Notice shall not affect Tenants lease of the First Offer Space to the extent Tenant exercised such right prior to Tenants delivery of the Termination Notice). Provided that Tenant terminates this Lease in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.7, then this Lease shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, and Landlord and Tenant shall be relieved of their respective obligations under this Lease as of the Termination Date, except those obligations set forth in this Lease which specifically survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, including, without limitation, the payment by Tenant of all amounts owed by Tenant under this Lease, up to and including the Termination Date.
ARTICLE 3

Except in connection with Non-Consent Alterations, Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or other physical changes in or about the Premises (collectively, Alterations), without Landlords prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alterations that contain a Design Problem. Landlord shall consent to any proposed Alterations within ten (10) Business Days following Landlords receipt of Tenants request to make any such Alterations, along with all documentation and information relating thereto required to be submitted to Landlord under this Article 5. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of its approval and/or disapproval of any such Alterations within such ten (10) Business Day period, and such failure continues for two (2) Business Days after Tenant delivers a second notice to Landlord, which notice states at the top of its first page, in twelve (12) point, bold, all caps font, LANDLORDS FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE SHALL RESULT IN TENANTS PROPOSED ALTERATIONS BEING DEEMED APPROVED, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved any such Alterations. A Design Problem is defined as and will be deemed to exist if any Alterations (i) are structural or adversely affect any Building Systems, (ii) are visible from outside of the Premises or affect the exterior appearance of the Building, (iii) adversely affect the certificate of occupancy issued for the Project, Building or the Premises, and (iv) violate any Requirement.
(b) Plans and Specifications.

All Alterations shall be performed (a) in a good and workmanlike manner and free from defects, (b) substantially in accordance with the Plans, and by contractors designated by Tenant, but subject to Landlords reasonable approval of any Alteration other than Non-Consent Alterations, (c) in compliance with all Requirements, the terms of this Lease and all reasonable construction procedures and regulations then prescribed by Landlord, and (d) at Tenants expense. All materials and equipment shall be of first quality and at least equal to the applicable standards for the Building then established by Landlord, and no such materials or equipment (other than Tenants Property) shall be subject to any lien or other encumbrance. Upon completion of any Alterations hereunder, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all final unconditional waivers of lien from all contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers and others having lien rights with respect to such Alterations, in the form prescribed by California law. In addition and if required by the Requirements, Tenant shall cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the Office of the Recorder of the county in which the Project is located in accordance with Section 3093 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute and shall timely give all notices required pursuant to Section 3259.5 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute.
Section 5.3 Removal of Tenants Property. Tenants Property shall remain the property of Tenant and Tenant may remove the same at any time on or before the Expiration Date. Tenant shall not be required to remove any Alterations, including any Non-Consent Alterations, existing in the Premises as of the Commencement Date. On or before the Expiration Date (provided Landlord notified Tenant that Landlord would require the removal of any Alteration constructed in the Premises following the Commencement Date at the time Landlord approved or consented to such Alteration), Tenant shall, at Tenants expense, remove any such Alterations constructed in the Premises following the Commencement Date, and close up any slab penetrations in the Premises; provided, however, Tenant shall not be obligated to remove any Non-Consent Alterations made to the Premises following the Commencement Date. Tenant shall repair and restore, in a good and workmanlike manner, any damage to the Premises, the Building or the Project caused by Tenants removal of any such Alterations or Tenants Property or by the closing of any slab penetrations, and upon default thereof, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlords cost of repairing such damage. Any Alterations or Tenants Property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned and Landlord may retain or remove and dispose of same, and repair and restore any damage caused thereby, at Tenants cost and without accountability to Tenant. All other Alterations shall become Landlords property upon termination of this Lease.
Section 5.4 Mechanics Liens. Tenant, at its expense, shall discharge any lien or charge recorded or filed against the Project in connection with any work done or claimed to have been done by or on behalf of, or materials furnished or claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant, within twenty (20) days after Tenants receipt of notice thereof by payment, filing the bond required by law or otherwise in accordance with applicable Requirements.
Section 5.5 Labor Relations. Tenant shall not employ, or permit the employment of, any contractor, mechanic or laborer, or permit any materials to be delivered to or used in the Building, if, in Landlords reasonable judgment, such employment, delivery or use will materially interfere or cause any material conflict with other contractors, mechanics or laborers engaged in the construction, maintenance or operation of the Building by Landlord, Tenant or others. If such interference or conflict occurs, upon Landlords request, Tenant shall cause all contractors, mechanics or laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the Building promptly.
-11-
Section 5.6 Tenants Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, all out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Landlord in connection with Alterations, including costs incurred in connection with (a) except in connection with Non-Consent Alterations, Landlords review of the Alterations (including review of requests for approval thereof) and (b) the provision of Building personnel during the performance of any Alteration, to operate elevators or otherwise to facilitate the Alterations.
Section 5.7 Tenants Equipment. Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord prior to moving any heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures (collectively, Equipment) into or out of the Building and shall pay to Landlord any costs actually incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. If such Equipment requires special handling, Tenant agrees (a) to employ only persons holding all necessary licenses to perform such work, (b) all work performed in connection therewith shall comply with all applicable Requirements and (c) such work shall be done only during hours designated by Landlord.
Section 5.8 Legal Compliance. The approval of Plans, or consent by Landlord to the making of any Alterations, does not constitute Landlords representation that such Plans or Alterations comply with any Requirements. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other party in connection with Landlords approval of any Plans, or Landlords consent to Tenants performing any Alterations. If any Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant require Landlord to make any alterations or improvements to any part of the Building or Project in order to comply with any Requirements, Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such alterations or improvements.
Section 5.9 Floor Load. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises that exceeds fifty (50) pounds per square foot live load. Landlord reserves the right to reasonably designate the position of all Equipment which Tenant wishes to place within the Premises, and to place limitations on the weight thereof.
Section 5.10 Landlords Contribution. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, within thirty (30) days following the full execution and delivery of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant (the Contribution Date), an amount equal to $968,290.00 (the Landlords Contribution) (i.e., $10.00 per rentable square feet of the initial Premises), for costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the construction of any Alterations in the initial Premises (and/or for moving related expenses within the initial Premises) or as a payment against the Rent due under this Lease.

Provided that Landlord complies with the terms of this Section 6.3, there shall be no Rent abatement or allowance to Tenant for a diminution of rental value, no actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, no relief from any of Tenants other obligations under this Lease, and no liability on the part of Landlord by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Landlord, Tenant or others performing, or failing to perform, any Work of Improvement.
Section 6.4 Tenants Right to Make Repairs. Notwithstanding any of the terms set forth in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant provides notice (the Repair Notice) to Landlord of an event or circumstance which requires the action of Landlord with respect to repair and/or maintenance required on any full floor of the Building leased by Tenant, including repairs to the Base Building located on such floor, which event or circumstance with respect to the Base Building materially adversely affects the conduct of Tenants business from the Premises, and Landlord fails to commence corrective action within a reasonable period of time, given the circumstances, after the receipt of such Repair Notice, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of such Repair Notice (or, in the event of an Emergency, as that term is defined, below, not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Repair Notice), then Tenant may proceed to take the required action upon delivery of an additional ten (10) Business Days Notice to Landlord specifying that Tenant is taking such required action (provided, however, that the initial thirty (30) day Repair Notice and the subsequent ten (10) day Repair Notice shall not be required in the event of an Emergency) and if such action was required under the terms of this Lease to be taken by Landlord and was not commenced by Landlord within such ten (10) Business Day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion, then Tenant shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement by Landlord of Tenants reasonable costs and expenses in taking such action. In the event Tenant takes such action, Tenant shall use only those contractors used by Landlord in the Building for work unless such contractors are unwilling or unable to perform, or timely perform, such work, in which event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractor which normally and regularly performs similar work in Comparable Buildings. Following completion of any work taken by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.4, Tenant shall deliver a detailed invoice of the work completed, the materials used and the costs relating thereto. If Landlord does not deliver a detailed written objection to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Tenant, then Tenant shall be entitled to deduct from Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, the amount set forth in such invoice. If, however, Landlord delivers to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenants invoice, a written objection to the payment of such invoice, setting forth with reasonable particularity
-13-
Landlords reasons for its claim that such action did not have to be taken by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease or that the charges are excessive (in which case Landlord shall pay the amount it contends would not have been excessive), then Tenant shall not then be entitled to such deduction from Rent. In the event that Tenant does not agree with Landlords objection, Tenant shall advise Landlord of such objection within sixty (60) days and submit such dispute to arbitration before one (1) arbitrator in the City of Newport Beach, which shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures. The determination rendered by the arbitrator shall be binding upon the parties and judgment on the arbitrators award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. If Tenant prevails in the arbitration, the amount of the arbitration award (which shall include interest at the Interest Rate from the time of each expenditure by Tenant until the date Tenant receives such amount by payment or offset) and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by Tenant in connection with such dispute may be deducted by Tenant from the Rent next due and owing under this Lease. If, however, Landlord prevails, then all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with such dispute shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days following demand thereof. For purposes of this Section 6.4, an Emergency shall mean an event threatening immediate and material danger to people located in the Building or immediate, material damage to the Building, Base Building, or Alterations, or creating a realistic possibility of an immediate and material interference with, or immediate and material interruption of a material aspect of Tenants business operations.
ARTICLE 7
INCREASES IN TAXES AND OPERATING EXPENSES
Section 7.1 Definitions. For the purposes of this Article 7, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(a) Assessed Valuation shall mean the amount for which the Project is assessed by the County Assessor of Orange County for the purpose of imposition of Taxes.
(b) Base Operating Expenses shall mean the Operating Expenses for the Base Year.
(c) Base Taxes shall mean the Taxes payable for the Base Year.
(d) Comparison Year shall mean each calendar year commencing subsequent to the Base Year.
(e) Operating Expenses shall mean the aggregate of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in connection with the ownership, operation, repair and maintenance of the Project and Development Expenses (as defined in Section 7.7(a) below), including the rental value of Landlords Building office and capital improvements incurred during or after the Base Year only if such capital improvement either (i) is reasonably intended to result in a reduction in Operating Expenses (as for example, a labor-saving improvement), provided the amount included in Operating Expenses in any Comparison Year shall not exceed an amount equal to the savings reasonably anticipated to result from the installation and operation of such improvement, and/or (ii) is made during any Comparison Year in compliance with Requirements, but only to the extent that the Project was not in violation of such Requirements as of the Commencement Date. Such capital improvements shall be amortized (with interest at the Base Rate) on a straight-line basis over such period as Landlord reasonably determines, and the amount included in Operating Expenses in any Comparison Year shall be equal to the annual amortized amount. Operating Expenses shall not include any Excluded Expenses. If during all or part of the Base Year or any Comparison Year, Landlord shall not furnish any particular item(s) of work or service (which would otherwise constitute an Operating Expense) to any occupable portions of the Project for any reason, then, for purposes of computing Operating Expenses for such period, the amount included in Operating Expenses for such period shall be increased by an amount equal to the costs and expenses that would have been reasonably incurred by Landlord during such period if Landlord had furnished such item(s) of work or service to such portion of the Project. Landlord shall exclude from Operating Expenses for the Base Year any non-recurring items. If Landlord eliminates from Operating Expenses for any Comparison Year a recurring category of expenses previously included in Operating
-14-
Expenses for the Base Year, Landlord shall subtract such category from Operating Expenses for the Base Year commencing with such Comparison Year. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Landlord eliminates from Operating Expenses for any Comparison Year any particular type of insurance included in Operating Expenses for the Base Year, or if Landlord reduces the level of insurance coverage during any Comparison Year from that carried during the Base Year, then Landlord shall adjust the amount of any insurance premium included in Operating Expenses for the Base Year to equal that amount which Landlord reasonably estimates it would have incurred had Landlord maintained similar types and levels of insurance during the Base Year as maintained by Landlord during such Comparison Year. In determining the amount of Operating Expenses for the Base Year or any Comparison Year, if less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building rentable area is occupied by tenants at any time during any such Base Year or Comparison Year, Operating Expenses shall be determined for such Base Year or Comparison Year to be an amount equal to the like expenses which would normally be expected to be incurred had such occupancy been ninety-five percent (95%) throughout the Base Year or such Comparison Year. In no event shall the components of Operating Expenses for any Comparison Year related to Project utility, service or insurance costs be less than the amount of the components of Operating Expenses related to Project utility, service or insurance costs in the Base Year. Landlord agrees that the total amount of Capped Expenses, as that term is defined below, included in Operating Expenses in any particular Comparison Year shall not be greater than the amount which would be included in Operating Expenses had Capped Expenses increased at a rate of five percent (5%) per Comparison Year (the Cap), commencing with the first Comparison Year after the Base Year, on a cumulative, compounded basis, throughout the Term. For the purposes of this Lease, the term Capped Expenses shall mean all Operating Expenses, excluding (i) the cost of supplying all utilities, (ii) the cost of any insurance premiums, including earthquake insurance premiums, and (iii) any costs imposed on Landlord in connection with the Development and/or pursuant to the CC&Rs.
(f) Statement shall mean a statement containing a comparison of (i) Base Taxes and the Taxes for any Comparison Year, or (ii) Base Operating Expenses and the Operating Expenses for any Comparison Year.
(g) Taxes shall mean (i) all real estate taxes, assessments, sewer and water rents, rates and charges and other governmental levies, impositions or charges, whether general, special, ordinary, extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen (including transit taxes, leasehold taxes or taxes based upon the receipt of rent, including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent), which may be assessed, levied or imposed upon all or any part of the Project, and (ii) all expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and experts and other witnesses fees) incurred in contesting any of the foregoing or the Assessed Valuation of the Project. Taxes shall not include (x) interest or penalties incurred by Landlord as a result of Landlords late payment of Taxes, or (y) franchise, documentary transfer, gift, inheritance, estate, excess profits or net income taxes imposed upon Landlord. Landlord shall elect to pay all assessments in annual installments if permitted by the Requirements, in which case (i) such assessment shall be deemed to have been so divided and to be payable in the maximum number of installments permitted by law, and (ii) there shall be deemed included in Taxes for each Comparison Year the installments of such assessment becoming payable during such Comparison Year, together with interest payable during such Comparison Year on such installments and on all installments thereafter becoming due as provided by law, all as if such assessment had been so divided. If at any time the methods of taxation prevailing on the Effective Date are altered so that in lieu of or as an addition to the whole or any part of Taxes, there shall be assessed, levied or imposed (1) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge based on the income or rents received from the Project whether or not wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise, (2) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon all or any part of the Project and imposed upon Landlord, (3) a license fee measured by the rents, or (4) any other tax, assessment, levy, imposition, charge or license fee however described or imposed, including business improvement district impositions, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions, charges or license fees or the part thereof so measured or based shall be deemed to be Taxes.
-15-
Section 7.2 Tenants Tax Payment.
(a) If the Taxes payable for any Comparison Year exceed the Base Taxes, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenants Proportionate Share of such excess (Tenants Tax Payment); provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay the portion of Tenants Tax Payment for the period attributable to January 1, 2011 through June 26, 2011. For each Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement setting forth Landlords reasonable estimate of Tenants Tax Payment for such Comparison Year (the Tax Estimate). Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first (1st) day of each month during such Comparison Year an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Tax Estimate for such Comparison Year. If Landlord furnishes a Tax Estimate for a Comparison Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (i) until the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first (1st) day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 7.2 during the last month of the preceding Comparison Year, (ii) promptly after the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of Tenants Tax Estimate previously made for such Comparison Year were greater or less than the installments of Tenants Tax Estimate to be made for such Comparison Year in accordance with the Tax Estimate, and (x) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within twenty (20) Business Days after demand therefor, or (y) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount thereof against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, and (iii) on the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant, and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter throughout the remainder of such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Tax Estimate. Landlord shall have the right, upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to Tenant, to reasonably adjust the Tax Estimate from time to time during any Comparison Year, provided that Landlord shall not have the right to make more than one (1) adjustment to the Tax Estimate during any Comparison Year, in addition to any adjustment made at the time the Statement was delivered to Tenant.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after Landlord has determined the Taxes for a Comparison Year, which Landlord shall endeavor to determine within one hundred twenty (120) days after each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Statement for such Comparison Year. If the Statement shows that the sums paid by Tenant under Section 7.2(a) exceeded the actual amount of Tenants Tax Payment for such Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, or, following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall deliver any such overpayment to Tenant with its delivery of the Statement to Tenant. If the Statement for such Comparison Year shows that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than Tenants Tax Payment for such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of the Statement to Tenant. The provisions of this Section 7.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.
(c) Only Landlord may institute proceedings to reduce the Assessed Valuation of the Project and the filings of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlords consent shall constitute an Event of Default; provided, however, Landlord shall, upon Tenants written request, institute such proceeding if Tenant has demonstrated that there is a reasonable likelihood of succeeding in any such proceeding. If the Taxes payable for the Base Year are reduced, the Base Taxes shall be correspondingly revised for all Comparison Years following the date of any such reduction (including any period of time remaining in the then current Comparison Year), provided that any such reduction shall not be applied retroactively to any previous Comparison Years. If Landlord receives a refund of Taxes for any Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, an amount equal to Tenants Proportionate Share of the refund, net of any expenses incurred by Landlord in achieving such refund, which amount shall not exceed Tenants Tax Payment paid for such Comparison Year. The benefit of any exemption or abatement relating to all or any part of the Project shall be taken into account in calculating the Taxes for the Base Year and any Comparison Years.
(d) Tenant shall be responsible for any applicable occupancy or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted and, if such tax is payable by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly pay such amounts to Landlord, upon Landlords demand.
(e) Tenant shall be obligated to make Tenants Tax Payment regardless of whether Tenant may be exempt from the payment of any Taxes as the result of any reduction, abatement or exemption from Taxes granted or agreed to by any Governmental Authority, or by reason of Tenants diplomatic or other tax-exempt status.
-16-
(f) Proposition 13 Protection. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event that, at any time during the initial Term only (the Prop 13 Protection Period), any sale or change in ownership of the Building and/or the Project or of Landlord at arms length is consummated or any construction on or any portion of the Building and/or the Project is completed, and as a result thereof, and to the extent that in connection therewith, the Building and/or the Project is reassessed (the Reassessment) for real estate tax purposes by the appropriate Governmental Authority pursuant to the terms of Proposition 13 (which was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election), then the terms of this Section 7.2(f) shall apply.
(i) For purposes of this Section 7.2(f), the term Tax Increase shall mean that portion of the Taxes, as calculated immediately following the Reassessment, which is attributable solely to the Reassessment. Accordingly, the term Tax Increase shall not include any portion of the Taxes, as calculated immediately following the Reassessment, which (i) is attributable to the existing Assessed Valuation of the Project, including the base building and the tenant improvements located in the Building and/or the Project prior to the Reassessment, or (ii) is attributable to the annual inflationary increase of real estate taxes, but not in excess of two percent (2.0%) per annum.
(ii) During the initial Term only and in connection with the initial Premises only (i.e., excluding any First Offer Space), Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any portion of any Tax Increase attributable to any Reassessment occurring during the Prop 13 Protection Period.
(iii) The amount of Taxes which Tenant is not obligated to pay or will not be obligated to pay during the initial Term in connection with the initial Premises only as a result of a particular Reassessment pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.2(f) shall be sometimes referred to hereafter as a Proposition 13 Protection Amount. If, in connection with a pending or anticipated sale of the Building and/or the Project by Landlord, the occurrence of a Reassessment is reasonably foreseeable by Landlord and the Proposition 13 Protection Amount attributable to such Reassessment can be reasonably quantified or estimated for each Lease Year commencing with the Lease Year in which the Reassessment will occur, the terms of this Section 7.2(f)(iii) shall apply to such Reassessment. Upon notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to purchase the Proposition 13 Protection Amount relating to the applicable Reassessment (the Applicable Reassessment), within a reasonable period of time prior to the pending or anticipated sale of the Building and/or the Project by Landlord, by paying to Tenant an amount equal to the Proposition 13 Purchase Price (defined below), provided that the right of any successor of Landlord to exercise its right of repurchase hereunder shall not apply to any Reassessment which results from the event pursuant to which such successor of Landlord became the landlord under this Lease. As used herein, Proposition 13 Purchase Price shall mean the present value of the Proposition 13 Protection Amount remaining during the initial Term as of the date of payment of the Proposition 13 Purchase Price by Landlord. Such present value shall be calculated (i) by using the portion of the Proposition 13 Protection Amount attributable to each such remaining Lease Year (as though the portion of such Proposition 13 Protection Amount benefited Tenant at the end of each such Lease Year), as the amounts to be discounted, and (ii) by using discount rates for each amount to be discounted equal to the average rates of yield for United States Treasury Obligations with maturity dates as close as reasonably possible to the end of each Lease Year during which the portions of the Proposition 13 Protection Amount would have benefited Tenant, which rates shall be those in effect as of Landlords exercise of its right to purchase, as set forth in this Section 7.2(f)(iii). Upon such payment of the Proposition 13 Purchase Price, the provisions of Section 7.2(f)(ii) of this Lease shall not apply to any Tax Increase attributable to the Applicable Reassessment. Since Landlord is estimating the Proposition 13 Purchase Price because a Reassessment has not yet occurred, then when such Reassessment occurs, if Landlord has underestimated the Proposition 13 Purchase Price, then upon notice by Landlord to Tenant, Tenants Rent next due shall be credited with the amount of such underestimation, and if Landlord overestimates the Proposition 13 Purchase Price, then upon notice by Landlord to Tenant, Rent next due shall be increased by the amount of the overestimation.
-17-
Section 7.3 Tenants Operating Payment.
(a) If the Operating Expenses payable for any Comparison Year exceed the Base Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenants Proportionate Share of such excess (Tenants Operating Payment); provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay the portion of Tenants Operating Payment for the period attributable to January 1, 2011 through June 26, 2011. For each Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement setting forth Landlords reasonable estimate of Tenants Operating Payment for such Comparison Year (the Expense Estimate). Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first (1st) day of each month during such Comparison Year an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Expense Estimate. If Landlord furnishes an Expense Estimate for a Comparison Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (i) until the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which the Expense Estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first (1st) day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 7.3 during the last month of the preceding Comparison Year, (ii) promptly after the Expense Estimate is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of Tenants Operating Payment previously made for such Comparison Year were greater or less than the installments of Tenants Operating Payment to be made for such Comparison Year in accordance with the Expense Estimate, and (x) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within twenty (20) Business Days after demand therefor, or (y) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount thereof against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, and (iii) on the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which the Expense Estimate is furnished to Tenant, and on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter throughout the remainder of such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Expense Estimate. Landlord shall have the right, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant, to reasonably adjust the Expense Estimate from time to time during any Comparison Year, provided that, in no event shall any such adjustment be made more than one (1) time during any Comparison Year in addition to any adjustment made at the time the Statement was delivered to Tenant.
(b) Landlord shall endeavor in good faith to furnish to Tenant a Statement for the immediately preceding Comparison Year by May 1st of each Comparison Year. If the Statement shows that the sums paid by Tenant under Section 7.3(a) exceeded the actual amount of Tenants Operating Payment for such Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, or, following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall deliver any such overpayment to Tenant with its delivery of the Statement to Tenant. If the Statement shows that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than Tenants Operating Payment for such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of the Statement to Tenant. Subject to the terms of Section 7.8 (a), below, the failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Comparison Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 7. Tenant shall have the right, on or before the Expiration Date, to request (the Statement Request) from Landlord a Statement (the Final Statement) which reconciles and sets forth Tenants Operating Payment and Tenants Tax Payment due under this Lease for the Comparison Year in which the expiration of the Term occurs. In the event that Tenant timely submits to Landlord a Statement Request, then Landlord shall provide to Tenant, within sixty (60) days following the Expiration Date, a Final Statement, provided that Landlords delivery of any such Final Statement shall be subject to Landlords right to issue a corrected Statement subject to the terms of Section 7.8(a), below. The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.
(c) All services rendered to and materials supplied to the Building shall be rendered or supplied at no greater cost than the market rate in arms-length transactions for similar services or materials rendered or supplied for similar purposes in the same geographical location or trade area as the Building.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this 7.3 to the contrary, Landlord shall not (i) make a profit by charging items to Operating Expenses that are otherwise charged separately to others nor (ii) collect Operating Expenses from Tenant and all other tenants in the Building in an amount in excess of what Landlord incurred for the items included in Operating Expenses.
-18-
Section 7.4 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.5 Proration. If the commencement date for payment of Tenants Tax Payment and Tenants Operating Payment is not January 1, Tenants Tax Payment and Tenants Operating Payment for the Comparison Year in which such payment commences shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in the year from such date to the following December 31. If the Expiration Date occurs on a date other than December 31st, Tenants Tax Payment and Tenants Operating Payment for the Comparison Year in which such Expiration Date occurs shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in the period from January 1st to the Expiration Date. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, any Additional Rent under this Article 7 shall be adjusted or paid within thirty (30) days after submission of the Statement for the last Comparison Year.
Section 7.6 No Reduction in Rent. In no event shall any decrease in Operating Expenses or Taxes in any Comparison Year below the Base Operating Expenses or Base Taxes, as the case may be, result in a reduction in the Fixed Rent or any other component of Additional Rent payable hereunder, or result in a reduction of the Base Operating Expenses or Base Taxes.
Section 7.7 Allocation of Operating Expenses and Taxes.
(a) Method of Allocation. The parties acknowledge that the Building is a part of the multi-building Project and the Project is part of a larger Development (as defined below) and that certain Operating Expenses incurred in connection with the Project and the Development will be shared among the tenants of the Building, the tenants of the other building in the Project, and the tenants of other buildings in the Development. For the purposes of this Lease, Development shall mean the development commonly known as the Koll Center Newport, which development is subject to the CC&Rs. The Development consists of approximately 11 parcels of real property, various office buildings located thereon (including the Project) and common areas consisting of common driveways and drive aisles, parking areas, loading areas, sidewalks, landscaped areas and the like which are not intended or designated for the exclusive use of any occupant(s) of the Development (collectively, the Development Common Areas). Costs and expenses which are assessed against the Project pursuant to the CC&Rs and attributable to any period during the Term (as the same may be extended) shall be referred to herein as the Development Expenses. Development Expenses shall be included in Operating Expenses.
(b) Cost Pools. Landlord may equitably allocate some or all of the Operating Expenses and Taxes for the Project among different portions or occupants of the Project (the Cost Pools), in Landlords reasonable discretion. A portion of Operating Expenses and Taxes, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, may be allocated solely to the tenants of the Building or the other building in the Project. Other Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants and the retail space tenants of a building in the Project or the Project as a whole. The Operating Expenses and Taxes within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner.
Section 7.8 Non Waiver; Disputes.
(a) Non Waiver. Landlords failure to render any Statement on a timely basis with respect to any Comparison Year shall not prejudice Landlords right to thereafter render a Statement with respect to such Comparison Year or any subsequent Comparison Year, nor shall the rendering of a Statement prejudice Landlords right to thereafter render a corrected Statement for that Comparison Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be responsible for Operating Expenses or Taxes attributable to any Comparison Year which are first billed to Tenant more than one (1) calendar year after the expiration of the applicable Comparison Year.
-19-
(b) Landlords Books and Records. Within one (1) year after receipt of a Statement by Tenant, if Tenant disputes the amount of Additional Rent set forth in the Statement, an independent certified public accountant or a consultant (Tenants Representative), designated and paid for by Tenant, may, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, inspect Landlords records with respect to the Statement at Landlords offices, provided that Tenant is not then in material non-monetary or monetary default beyond the applicable notice and cure period under this Lease and Tenant has paid all amounts required to be paid under the applicable year end Statement of Operating Expenses or Taxes, as the case may be. In connection with such inspection, Tenant and Tenants agents must agree in advance to follow Landlords reasonable rules and procedures regarding inspections of Landlords records, and shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement regarding such inspection. Tenants failure to dispute the amount of Additional Rent set forth in any Statement within one (1) year of Tenants receipt of such Statement shall be deemed to be Tenants approval of such Statement and Tenant, thereafter, waives the right or ability to dispute the amounts set forth in such Statement. If after such inspection, it is determined that Operating Expenses or Taxes were overstated and Landlord agrees that such Operating Expenses and Taxes were in fact overstated by more than five percent (5%) (the Threshold Amount), then the cost of Tenants Representative shall be paid for by Landlord. If however, after such inspection, Tenant still disputes such Additional Rent and Landlord disagrees with the determinations of Tenants Representative, a determination as to the proper amount shall be made, at Landlords expense, by an independent certified public accountant (the Accountant) reasonably selected by Landlord and Tenant; provided that if such determination by the Accountant proves that Operating Expenses or Taxes were overstated by more than the Threshold Amount, then the cost of the Accountant, Tenants Representative and the cost of such determination shall be paid for by Landlord. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenants sole right to inspect Landlords books and records and to contest the amount of Operating Expenses or Taxes payable by Tenant shall be as set forth in this Section 7.8, and Tenant hereby waives any and all other rights pursuant to applicable law to inspect such books and records and/or to contest the amount of Operating Expenses or Taxes payable by Tenant. Landlord shall maintain accurate and complete books and records evidencing Operating Expenses for a period of not less than three (3) years after Landlord issues a Statement for any calendar year. The books and records shall be located in the Building or another reasonable location in the area in which the Building is located.
ARTICLE 8
REQUIREMENTS OF LAW
Section 8.1 Compliance with Requirements.
(a) Tenants Compliance. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with all Requirements applicable to the Premises and/or Tenants use or occupancy thereof; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with any Requirements requiring any alterations to the Building unless the application of such Requirements arises from (i) the specific manner and/or nature of Tenants use or occupancy of the Premises, as distinct from general office use, (ii) Alterations made by Tenant, or (iii) a breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease. Any repairs or alterations required for compliance with applicable Requirements shall be made at Tenants expense (1) by Tenant in compliance with Article 5 if such repairs or alterations are non-structural and do not affect any Building System, and to the extent such repairs or alterations do not affect areas outside the Premises, or (2) by Landlord if such repairs or alterations are structural or affect any Building System, or to the extent such repairs or alterations affect areas outside the Premises. If Tenant obtains knowledge of any failure to comply with any Requirements applicable to the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice thereof.
(b) Hazardous Materials.
(i) Tenant shall not (i) cause any Hazardous Materials to be brought onto the Project, (ii) cause the storage or use of Hazardous Materials in or about the Building (subject to the second sentence of this Section 8.1(b)), (iii) cause or permit the storage or use of Hazardous Materials in or Premises (subject to the second sentence of this Section 8.1(b)), or (iv) cause the escape, disposal or release of any Hazardous Materials within or in the vicinity of the Project. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Tenants use of any Hazardous Materials customarily used in the ordinary course of office work or the operation of Tenants business, provided such use is in accordance with all Requirements. Tenant shall be responsible, at its expense, for all matters directly or indirectly based on, or arising or resulting from the presence of Hazardous Materials at the Project which is caused by a Tenant Party. Tenant shall provide to Landlord copies of all communications received by Tenant with respect to any Requirements relating to Hazardous Materials, and/or any claims made in connection therewith. At Landlords cost and expense, Landlord or its agents may perform environmental inspections of the Premises at any time if Landlord has a reasonable, good faith belief that Tenant has caused or permitted the escape, disposal or release of Hazardous Materials within the Premises; provided that Tenant shall pay for such inspection if Landlord determines that Tenant has caused or permitted the escape, disposal or release of Hazardous Materials within the Premises.
-20-
(ii) Landlord hereby represents that, to the actual knowledge of Doug Akins, the property manager of the Building, Landlord has neither received any notices of nor has actual knowledge of any violation of applicable Requirements relating to Hazardous Materials as of the date hereof.
(c) Landlords Compliance. Landlord shall comply with (or cause to be complied with) all Requirements applicable to the Building which are not the obligation of Tenant, to the extent that non-compliance would (i) prohibit Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy for the Premises for the Permitted Uses, or (ii) unreasonably and materially affect the safety of Tenants employees or create a significant health hazard for Tenants employees. In addition to the foregoing, in the event that the construction of any Alterations to the Second Floor Premises completed at any time during the Term (as the same may be extended), triggers the need to make certain improvements to the Common Areas located on the second (2nd) floor of the Building under the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 (et seq.) (and any law of like import, and any rules, regulations and governmental order with respect thereto), then Landlord, at Landlords sole cost and expense (which shall not be included in Operating Expenses), shall make any such improvements to the extent that Landlords failure to make such improvements would (a) prohibit Tenant from obtaining or maintaining a certificate of occupancy for the Second Floor Premises for the Permitted Uses, or (b) unreasonably and materially affect the safety of Tenants employees or create a significant health hazard for Tenants employees. Except as set forth in the second sentence of this Section 8.1(c), all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with this Section 8.1(c) shall be included in Operating Expenses to the extent permitted under Section 7.1 of this Lease.
(d) Landlords Insurance. Tenant shall not cause or permit any action or condition that would (i) invalidate or materially conflict with Landlords insurance policies, (ii) materially violate applicable rules, regulations and guidelines of the Fire Department, or any other authority having jurisdiction over the Building or Project, (iii) cause an increase in the premiums of insurance for the Building or the Project over that payable with respect to Comparable Buildings, unless Tenant agrees to pay such increased amounts, or (iv) result in Landlords insurance companies refusing to insure the Building or the Project or any property therein in amounts and against risks as reasonably determined by Landlord. If insurance premiums increase as a result of Tenants failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.1, Tenant shall promptly cure such failure and shall reimburse Landlord for the increased insurance premiums paid by Landlord as a result of such failure by Tenant.
Section 8.2 HVAC, Fire and Life Safety. Landlord shall maintain in good order and repair the Existing HVAC System, the sprinkler, fire-alarm and life-safety system in the Premises in accordance with this Lease including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 6.1, the Rules and Regulations and all Requirements. If the Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any Governmental Authority or any of Landlords insurers requires any modifications and/or alterations be made or any additional equipment be supplied in connection with the Existing HVAC System, the sprinkler system or fire alarm and life-safety system serving the Building by reason of Tenants unique and specific use of the Premises, as compared to a general office use, or any Alterations performed by Tenant or the location of the partitions, Landlord shall make such modifications and/or alterations, and supply such additional equipment, at Tenants expense.
ARTICLE 9
SUBORDINATION
Section 9.1 Subordination and Attornment.
(a) Concurrently with Landlords execution and delivery of this Lease to Tenant, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a commercially reasonable subordination, nondisturbance, and attornment agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the SNDA) in favor of Tenant, from Landlords current lender for the Project (the Existing Mortgage Holder). Landlord hereby represents that, other than the Existing Mortgage Holder, there are no additional Lessors or Mortgagees currently holding an interest in the Project.
-21-
(b) If any future Lessor or Mortgagee or any other person or entity shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or the delivery of a new lease or deed, then such successor landlord shall accept in writing Tenants attornment and recognize Tenants interest under this Lease, and Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such successor landlord as Landlord under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 9.1 are self-operative and require no further instruments to give effect hereto; provided, however, that Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such successor landlord may reasonably request (i) evidencing such attornment, (ii) setting forth the terms and conditions of Tenants tenancy, and (iii) containing such other terms and conditions as may be required by such Mortgagee or Lessor, provided such terms and conditions do not increase the Rent, increase Tenants other obligations or adversely affect Tenants rights under this Lease.

Section 10.1 Electricity. Landlord shall contract for electricity service for the Premises from a utility company that provides such service (an Electric Service Provider). All electricity used by Tenant in the Premises shall be by a separate charge or charges to Tenant billed by Landlord based upon Landlords payment to the Electrical Service Provider for the actual cost of Tenants use of electricity in the Premises. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, and the applicable Electric Service Provider, at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord and such Electric Service Provider reasonable access to the Buildings electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other machinery within the Premises.

Section 10.2 Excess Electricity. Tenant shall at all times comply with the rules and regulations of the Electrical Service Provider. Landlord acknowledges that Tenants consumption of electrical service for the Premises as of the date of this Lease does not exceed the capacity of the Buildings Electrical Equipment (as that term is defined below). If after the date hereof, Tenant increases the electricity used by Tenant in the Premises and Landlord reasonably determines that Tenants increased electrical requirements necessitate installation of any additional risers, feeders or other electrical distribution equipment (collectively, Electrical Equipment), or if Tenant provides Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of Tenants need for excess electricity and requests that additional Electrical Equipment be installed, Landlord shall, at Tenants expense, install such additional Electrical Equipment, provided that Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, determines that (a) such installation is practicable and necessary, (b) such additional Electrical Equipment is permissible under applicable Requirements, and (c) the installation of such Electrical Equipment will not cause permanent damage to the Building or the Premises, cause or create a hazardous condition, entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, interfere with or limit electrical usage by other tenants or occupants of the Building or exceed the limits of the switchgear or other facilities serving the Building, or require power in excess of that available from the utility company serving the Building. Any costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days after the rendition of a bill therefor.

Section 10.4 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. Landlord shall furnish to the Premises heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) in accordance with the Design Standards set forth in Exhibit D during Ordinary Business Hours, provided that to the extent Tenant desires that Landlord furnish the Premises with HVAC during the Ordinary Business Hours on Saturdays, then Tenant shall notify Landlord using the same method as designated by Landlord for the providing of HVAC during Overtime Periods (provided that Landlords providing of HVAC during the Ordinary Business Hours on Saturday shall not be an Overtime Period and Tenant shall not be separately charged for such HVAC usage). Landlord shall have access to all air-cooling, fan, ventilating and machine rooms and electrical closets and all other mechanical installations of Landlord (collectively, Mechanical Installations), and Tenant shall not construct partitions or other obstructions which may interfere with Landlords access thereto or the moving of Landlords equipment to and from the Mechanical Installations. No Tenant Party shall at any time enter the Mechanical Installations or tamper with, adjust, or otherwise affect such Mechanical Installations. Landlord shall not be responsible if the HVAC System fails to provide cooled or heated air, as the case may be, to the Premises in accordance with the Design Standards by reason of (i) any equipment installed by, for or on behalf of Tenant, which has an electrical load in excess of the average electrical load and human occupancy factors for the HVAC System as designed, or (ii) any rearrangement of partitioning or other Alterations made or performed by, for or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall install, if missing, Building standard blinds or shades (as designated by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion) on all windows, and shall keep operable windows in the Premises closed, and lower the blinds when necessary because of the suns position, whenever the HVAC System is in operation or as and when required by any Requirement.

HVAC service during Overtime Periods can be activated, at Tenants election, by means of an on-line system (or other automated system utilized by Landlord from time to time). If Landlord furnishes HVAC service during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual cost thereof, including the cost of the increased wear and tear on existing equipment caused by such excess consumption (but excluding an administrative fee) (the current rate for such after-hours HVAC service, is Eighty and No/100 Dollars ($80.00) per hour).
Section 10.6 Cleaning. Landlord shall cause the Premises (excluding any portions thereof used (a) for the storage, preparation, service or consumption of food or beverages such as a kitchen (provided that in such areas, Landlord shall be obligated to wipe the tables, mop the floors and remove trash once per day), (b) for storage, (c) as a computer server room, or (d) as an exhibition area or classroom, as a shipping room, mail room or for similar purposes, as a trading floor, or primarily for operation of computer processing, reproduction, duplicating or similar equipment (provided that in such areas, Landlord shall be obligated to vacuum the floors and remove trash once per day)) to be cleaned, substantially in accordance with the standards set forth in Exhibit E.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of an invoice therefor, Landlords reasonable charge for such removal to the extent that the refuse generated by Tenant exceeds the refuse customarily generated by general office tenants. Tenant shall not dispose of any refuse in the Common Areas, and if Tenant does so, Tenant shall be liable for Landlords reasonable charge for such removal.

Section 10.10 Telecommunications. If Tenant requests that Landlord grant access to the Building to a telecommunications service provider designated by Tenant for purposes of providing telecommunications services to Tenant, Landlord shall use its good faith efforts to respond to such request within ten (10) days.

Section 10.11 Service Interruptions. Landlord reserves the right to suspend any service when necessary, by reason of Unavoidable Delays, accidents or emergencies, or for any Work of Improvement which are necessary under applicable Requirements, until such Unavoidable Delay, accident or emergency shall cease or such Work of Improvement is completed and Landlord shall not be liable for any interruption, curtailment or failure to supply services. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenants use and occupancy of the Premises as a result of any such interruption, curtailment or failure of or defect in such service, or change in the supply, character and/or quantity of, electrical service, and to restore any such services, remedy such situation and minimize any interference with Tenants business. Subject to the terms of Section 15.8(b), below, the exercise of any such right or the occurrence of any such failure by Landlord shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, entitle Tenant to any compensation, abatement or diminution of Rent, relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord or any Indemnified Party by reason of inconvenience to Tenant, or interruption of Tenants business, or otherwise. Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any failure, defect or interruption of, or change in the supply, character and/or quantity of, electric service furnished to the Premises for any reason except if attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
Section 10.12 Supplemental HVAC. The installation of any supplemental HVAC system in or exclusively serving the Premises for the purpose of providing supplemental air-conditioning to the Premises (the Supplemental HVAC System) shall be governed by the terms of Article 5 of this Lease and this Section 10.12, and, if approved by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Article 5 of this Lease and this Section 10.12, shall be performed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense. All aspects of the Supplemental HVAC System (including, but not limited to, the plans and specifications therefor) shall be subject to Landlords prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the structural aspects of the Building, the Building Systems, the exterior appearance of the Building and/or the certificate of occupancy issued for the Building or the Premises will be adversely affected and/or the installation of the Supplemental HVAC System will violate any applicable Requirements, in which event Landlords approval may be withheld in Landlords sole and absolute discretion. Tenant shall be permitted, at Tenants sole cost and expense, to access 277/480 volts of electricity (subject to availability) from the existing bus duct riser in connection with any approved Supplemental HVAC System. In connection with the foregoing, Landlord shall, at Landlords sole cost and expense, separately meter the electricity utilized by the Supplemental HVAC System, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost as reasonably
-25-
determined by Landlord of all electricity utilized by the Supplemental HVAC System. Tenant shall not be required to remove any Supplemental HVAC System existing in the Premises as of the Commencement Date. On or before the Expiration Date (provided Landlord notified Tenant that Landlord would require the removal of any Supplemental HVAC System installed in the Premises following the Commencement Date at the time Landlord approved or consented to such Supplemental HVAC System), Tenant shall remove any Supplemental HVAC System installed in the Premises following the Commencement Date prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and repair all damage to the Building resulting from such removal, at Tenants sole cost and expense. If Tenant fails to timely perform such removal and/or repair work, then Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) perform such work at Tenants sole cost and expense. Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenants sole cost and expense, for the monitoring, operation, repair, replacement, and removal (subject to the foregoing terms of this Section 10.12), of the Supplemental HVAC System. In no event shall the Supplemental HVAC System be permitted to interfere with Landlords operation of the Building. Any reimbursements owing by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Section 10.12 shall be payable by Tenant within twenty (20) Business Days of Tenants receipt of an invoice therefor.

Landlord and Tenant shall have no liability to one another, or to any insurer, by way of subrogation or otherwise, on account of any loss or damage to their respective property, the Premises or its contents or the Building, regardless of whether such loss or damage is caused by the negligence of Landlord or Tenant, arising out of any of the perils or casualties insured against by the property insurance policies carried, or required to be carried, by the parties pursuant to this Lease, but only to the extent covered by such insurance policies carried, or required to be carried, by the parties pursuant to this Lease. In addition, Landlord and Tenant shall have no liability to one another for any deductible amount carried under any policy, except with respect to Tenants reimbursement of deductible amounts to Landlord as a part of Operating Expenses in accordance with Article 7 above. The insurance policies obtained by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to this Lease, shall permit waivers of subrogation which the insurer may otherwise have against the non-insuring party. In the event the policy or policies do not include blanket waiver of subrogation prior to loss, either Landlord or Tenant shall, at the request of the other party, arrange and deliver to the requesting party a waiver of subrogation endorsement in such form and content as may reasonably be required by the requesting party or its insurer. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not carry insurance on, and shall not be responsible for, (i) damage to any Above Building Standard Installations, (ii) Tenants Property, and (iii) any loss suffered by Tenant due to interruption of Tenants business.
Section 11.3 Restoration.
(a) If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, or if the Building is damaged such that Tenant is deprived of reasonable access to the Premises, the damage shall be repaired by Landlord, to substantially the condition of the Premises prior to the damage, subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or Superior Lease and subject to the terms of Section 11.4, below, but Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore (i) Tenants Property or (ii) except as provided in Section 11.3(b), any Above Building Standard Installations. So long as Tenant is not in default beyond applicable grace or notice provisions in the payment or performance of its obligations under this Section 11.3, and provided Tenant timely delivers to Landlord either Tenants Restoration Payment (as hereinafter defined) or the Restoration Security (as hereinafter defined) or Tenant expressly waives any obligation of Landlord to repair or restore any of Tenants Above Building Standard Installations, then until the restoration of the Premises is Substantially Completed (including restoration of any Above Building Standard Installations to the extent that Landlord has received Tenants Restoration Payment or Restoration Security in connection thereto) or would have been Substantially Completed but for Tenant Delay, Fixed Rent, Tenants Tax Payment and Tenants Operating Payment shall be reduced in the proportion by which the area of the part of the Premises which is not usable (or accessible) for the operation of Tenants business and is not used by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises.
-28-
(b) As a condition precedent to Landlords obligation to repair or restore any Above Building Standard Installations, Tenant shall (i) pay to Landlord upon demand a sum (Tenants Restoration Payment) equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) the cost, as estimated by a reputable independent contractor designated by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant, of repairing and restoring all Alterations and improvements in the Premises to their condition prior to the damage, exceeds (B) the cost of restoring the Premises with Building Standard Installations, or (ii) furnish to Landlord security (the Restoration Security) in form and amount reasonably acceptable to Landlord to secure Tenants obligation to pay all costs in excess of restoring the Premises with Building Standard Installations. If Tenant shall fail to deliver to Landlord either (1) Tenants Restoration Payment or the Restoration Security, as applicable, or (2) a waiver by Tenant, in form satisfactory to Landlord, of all of Landlords obligations to repair or restore any of the Above Building Standard Installations, in either case within fifteen (15) Business Days after Landlords demand therefor, Landlord shall have no obligation to restore any Above Building Standard Installations and Tenants abatement of Fixed Rent, Tenants Tax Payment and Tenants Operating Payment shall cease when the restoration of the Premises (other than any Above Building Standard Installations) is Substantially Complete.
Section 11.4 Landlords Termination Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.3, (a) if the Premises are totally damaged or are rendered wholly untenantable, (b) if the Building shall be so damaged that, in Landlords reasonable opinion, substantial alteration, demolition, or reconstruction of the Building shall be required (whether or not the Premises are so damaged or rendered untenantable), (c) if any Mortgagee shall require that the insurance proceeds or any material portion thereof be used to retire the Mortgage debt or any Lessor shall terminate the Superior Lease, as the case may be, or (d) if the cost of damage which is not covered by Landlords insurance policies exceeds Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00), excluding any deductibles, then in any of such events, Landlord may, not later than sixty (60) days following the date of the damage, terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant. If this Lease is so terminated, (a) the Term shall expire upon the thirtieth (30th) day after such notice is given, (b) Tenant shall vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord, (c) Tenants liability for Rent shall cease as of the date of the damage, and (d) any prepaid Rent for any period after the date of the damage shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant.
Section 11.5 Tenants Termination Right. If the Premises are totally damaged and are thereby rendered wholly untenantable, or if the Building shall be so damaged that Tenant is deprived of reasonable access to the Premises, and if Landlord elects to restore the Premises, Landlord shall, within forty-five (45) days following the date of the damage, cause a contractor or architect selected by Landlord to give notice (the Restoration Notice) to Tenant of the date by which such contractor or architect estimates the restoration of the Premises (excluding any Above Building Standard Installations) shall be Substantially Completed. If such date, as set forth in the Restoration Notice, is more than nine (9) months from the date of such damage, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice (the Termination Notice) to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days following delivery of the Restoration Notice to Tenant. If Tenant delivers a Termination Notice, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of the giving of the Termination Notice, in the manner set forth in the second sentence of Section 11.4. If Landlord had previously indicated to Tenant that the Premises (excluding any Above Building Standard Installations) would be Substantially Completed within 9 months after the date of such damage and Landlord does not actually Substantially Complete the repairs within 9 months after the date of such damage for any reason other than a Tenant Delay or an Unavoidable Delay, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease within five (5) Business Days after the end of such 9 month period and thereafter during the first five (5) Business Days after each calendar month following the end of such period until such time as the repairs are Substantially Completed, by notice to Landlord (the Damage Termination Notice), effective as of five (5) Business Days following Landlords receipt of the Damage Termination Notice.
-29-
Section 11.6 Final 12 Months. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 11, if any damage during the final 12 months of the Term renders the Premises wholly untenantable, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage and this Lease shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of such notice. For purposes of this Section 11.6, the Premises shall be deemed wholly untenantable if Tenant shall be precluded from using more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises for the conduct of its business and Tenants inability to so use the Premises is reasonably expected to continue for more than ninety (90) days.
Section 11.7 Landlords Liability. Any Building employee to whom any property shall be entrusted by or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be acting as Tenants agent with respect to such property and neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for any damage to such property, or for the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant by theft or otherwise. Subject to the terms of Section 11.2, above, none of the Insured Parties shall be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property or interruption of Tenants business resulting from fire or other casualty, any damage caused by other tenants or persons in the Building or by construction of any private, public or quasi-public work, or any latent defect in the Premises, in the Building or in the Project (except that Landlord shall be required to repair the same to the extent provided in Article 6); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to physical damage or personal injury resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors. No penalty shall accrue for delays which may arise by reason of adjustment of casualty insurance on the part of Landlord or Tenant as long as such party is diligently pursuing final resolution of any such adjustment, or for any Unavoidable Delays arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Building, provided that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenants use and occupancy of the Premises during the performance of any such repair or restoration.

If the part of the Project so Taken contains more than ten percent (10%) of the total area of the Premises occupied by Tenant immediately prior to such Taking, or if, by reason of such Taking, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Premises, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days following the date upon which Tenant is given notice of such Taking. If Tenant so notifies Landlord, this Lease shall end and expire upon the thirtieth (30th) day following the giving of such notice. If a part of the Premises shall be so Taken and this Lease is not terminated in accordance with this Section 12.1, Landlord, shall, subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or Superior Lease, restore that part of the Premises not so Taken to a self-contained rental unit substantially equivalent (with respect to character, quality, appearance and services) to that which existed immediately prior to such Taking, excluding Tenants Property and any Above Building Standard Installations.
-30-
(e) Apportionment of Rent. Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Article 12, Rent shall be apportioned as of, and shall be paid or refunded up to and including, the date of such termination.
Section 12.2 Awards. Upon any Taking, Landlord shall receive the entire award for any such Taking, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term or Tenants Alterations, except to the extent that such Alterations were completed following the Commencement Date and paid for by Tenant, Tenant shall be entitled to receive the unamortized value of such Alterations; and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to such award. Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation proceedings for the then value of any Tenants Property or Above Building Standard Installations included in such Taking or for the unamortized value of any Alterations which were completed following the Commencement Date and paid for by Tenant and for damage to its business.
Section 12.3 Temporary Taking. If all or any part of the Premises is Taken temporarily during the Term for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord and the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent payable by Tenant without reduction or abatement and to perform all of its other obligations under this Lease, except to the extent prevented from doing so by the condemning authority, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive any award or payment from the condemning authority for such use, which shall be received, held and applied by Tenant as a trust fund for payment of the Rent falling due with any remaining amounts being disbursed directly to Tenant.
ARTICLE 13
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 13.1 Consent Requirements.
(a) No Transfers. Except as expressly set forth herein, Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber, or otherwise transfer this Lease, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not sublet, or permit, or suffer the Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others (whether for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise), without Landlords prior consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any assignment, sublease, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or transfer in contravention of the provisions of this Article 13 shall be void and shall constitute an Event of Default.
(b) Collection of Rent. If, without Landlords consent, this Lease is assigned, or any part of the Premises is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant or this Lease is encumbered (by operation of law or otherwise), Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved. No such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Article 13, an acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenants covenants hereunder, and in all cases Tenant shall remain fully liable for its obligations under this Lease. In the event that Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period set forth herein, then Tenant shall have the right to collect all rent payable by a subtenant or assignee following a Transfer, as that term is defined in Section 13.2, below, and shall only be required to pay to Landlord the Rent owing under this Lease.
(c) Further Assignment/Subletting. Landlords consent to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlords consent to any further assignment or subletting. In no event shall any permitted subtenant assign or encumber its sublease or further sublet any portion of its sublet space, or otherwise suffer or permit any portion of the sublet space to be used or occupied by others, without Landlords prior consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
-31-
Section 13.2 Tenants Notice. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises (sometimes referred to herein as a Transfer), Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, which shall be accompanied by (a) with respect to an assignment of this Lease, the date Tenant desires the assignment to be effective, and (b) with respect to a sublet of all or a part of the Premises, a description of the portion of the Premises to be sublet, the commencement date of such sublease.
Section 13.3 Landlords Leaseback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13, in the event Tenant contemplates a Transfer of all or a portion of the Premises (or in the event of any other Transfer or Transfers entered into by Tenant as a subterfuge in order to avoid the terms of this Section 13.3), Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the Intention to Transfer Notice) of such contemplated Transfer (whether or not the contemplated Transferee or the terms of such contemplated Transfer have been determined). The Intention to Transfer Notice shall specify the portion of and amount of rentable square feet of the Premises which Tenant intends to Transfer (the Contemplated Transfer Space), the contemplated date of commencement of the contemplated Transfer (the Contemplated Effective Date), and the contemplated length of the term of such contemplated Transfer, and shall specify that such Intention to Transfer Notice is delivered to Landlord pursuant to this Section 13.3 in order to allow Landlord to elect to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space for the term set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice. Thereafter, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice (the Recapture Notice) to Tenant within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of any Intention to Transfer Notice, to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space. Such recapture shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to such Contemplated Transfer Space as of the Contemplated Effective Date. However, if Landlord delivers a Recapture Notice to Tenant, Tenant may, within ten (10) days after Tenants receipt of the Recapture Notice, deliver written notice to Landlord indicating that Tenant is rescinding its request for consent to the proposed Transfer, in which case such Transfer shall not be consummated and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises that was the subject of the Transfer. Tenants failure to so notify Landlord in writing within said ten (10) day period shall be deemed to constitute Tenants election to allow the Recapture Notice to be effective. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. If Landlord declines, or fails to elect in a timely manner, to recapture such Contemplated Transfer Space under this Section 13.3, then, subject to the other terms of this Article 13, for a period of two hundred seventy (270) days (the 270 Day Period) commencing on the last day of such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not have any right to recapture the Contemplated Transfer Space with respect to any Transfer made during the 270 Day Period, provided that any such Transfer is for substantially the same number of rentable square feet of the Premises and is for substantially the same length of term as set forth in the Intention to Transfer Notice, and provided further that any such Transfer shall be subject to the remaining terms of this Article 13. If such a Transfer is not so consummated within the 270 Day Period (or if a Transfer is so consummated, then upon the expiration of the term of any Transfer of such Contemplated Transfer Space consummated within such 270 Day Period), Tenant shall again be required to submit a new Intention to Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect any contemplated Transfer, as provided above in this Section 13.3.
-32-
Section 13.4 Conditions to Assignment/Subletting.
(a) If Landlord does not exercise Landlords option provided under Section 13.3, Landlords consent to the proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such consent shall be granted or denied within fifteen (15) days after delivery to Landlord of (i) a true and complete statement reasonably detailing the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant (Transferee), the nature of its business and its proposed use of the Premises, (ii) current financial information with respect to the Transferee, including its most recent financial statements, (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, together with a copy of all existing executed and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, provided that Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to utilize Landlords standard consent agreement in connection with such Transfer, and (iv) any other information Landlord may reasonably request, provided that:
(A) in Landlords reasonable judgment, the Transferee is of a character or reputation and engaged in a business or activity which is consistent with the quality of the Building and the Project, and the Premises will be used in a manner, which (1) is for the Permitted Uses, and (2) does not violate any restrictions set forth in this Lease, any Mortgage or Superior Lease;

(D) there shall be not more than 6 subtenants in each floor of the Premises;
(E) Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such assignment or sublease, including any investigations as to the acceptability of the Transferee and all legal costs reasonably incurred in connection with the granting of any requested consent, but in no event in an amount exceeding One Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($1,500.00) for a Transfer in the ordinary course of business;
(F) the proposed Transfer is either a sublease or an assignment;
(G) the proposed Transfer would not cause Landlord to be in violation of any Requirements, Mortgage or Superior Lease;
(H) the Transferee shall not be either a governmental agency or an instrumentality thereof, unless Landlord, with respect to the Building, has leased comparably sized space to comparable (in terms of use, security issues, express or implied power of eminent domain, reputation, character and size of space in the Building) governmental agencies or instrumentalities thereof, nor shall the Transferee be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity, regardless of whether the Transferee agrees to waive such diplomatic or sovereign immunity, and shall be subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, Orange County, California; and
(I) Landlord has 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 defaults on the part of Tenant, if any, will be cured prior to the effective date of the proposed Transfer.
The parties hereby agree, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under applicable Requirements for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer based upon any of the foregoing criteria.
Landlords failure to respond within fifteen (15) days following receipt of the items set forth in Section 13(a) above, shall be deemed Landlords approval of any such proposed assignment or subletting.

(b) With respect to each and every subletting and/or assignment approved by Landlord under the provisions of this Lease:
(i) the form of the proposed assignment or sublease shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
(ii) no sublease shall be for a term ending later than the Expiration Date;
(iii) no Transferee shall take possession of any part of the Premises, until an executed counterpart of such sublease or assignment has been delivered to Landlord and approved by Landlord as provided in Section 13.4(a); and
(iv) each sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate; and Tenant and each Transferee shall be deemed to have agreed that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, Tenant has hereby assigned to Landlord, and Landlord may, at its option, either terminate the sublease or accept such assignment of, all right, title and interest of Tenant as sublandlord under such sublease, together with all modifications, extensions and renewals thereof then in effect and such Transferee shall, at Landlords option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be (A) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (B) subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense not expressly provided in such sublease or which theretofore accrued to such Transferee against Tenant, (C) bound by any previous modification of such sublease not consented to by Landlord or by any prepayment of more than one months rent, (D) bound to return such Transferees security deposit, if any, except to the extent Landlord shall receive actual possession of such deposit and such Transferee shall be entitled to the return of all or any portion of such deposit under the terms of its sublease, or (E) obligated to make any payment to or on behalf of such Transferee, or to perform any work in the subleased space or the Building or Project, or in any way to prepare the subleased space for occupancy, beyond Landlords obligations under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 13.4(b)(iv) shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to this provision, provided that the Transferee shall execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such subordination and attornment.
Section 13.5 Binding on Tenant; Indemnification of Landlord. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting or any acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee, Tenant and any guarantor shall remain fully liable for the payment of all Rent due and for the performance of all the covenants, terms and conditions contained in this Lease on Tenants part to be observed and performed, and any default under any term, covenant or condition of this Lease by any Transferee or anyone claiming under or through any Transferee shall be deemed to be a default under this Lease by Tenant.
Section 13.6 Tenants Failure to Complete. If Landlord consents to a proposed assignment or sublease and Tenant fails to execute and deliver to Landlord such assignment or sublease within two hundred seventy (270) days after the giving of such consent, or the amount of space subject to any such sublease varies by more than fifteen percent (15%) from that specified in the notice given by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 13.2 or Section 13.3, as applicable, or if there are any changes in the terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Article 13, then Tenant shall again comply with all of the provisions and conditions of Sections 13.2, 13.3 and 13.4 before assigning this Lease or subletting all or part of the Premises.
-34-
Section 13.7 Intentionally Deleted.
Section 13.8 Transfers.
(a) Related Entities. If Tenant is a legal entity, the transfer (by one or more transfers), directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the stock or other beneficial ownership interest in Tenant or of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant (collectively, Ownership Interests) shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease; provided, however, that the provisions of this Article 13 shall not apply to the transfer of Ownership Interests in Tenant if and so long as such Ownership Interests are publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange. For purposes of this Article the term transfers shall be deemed to include (x) the issuance of new Ownership Interests which results in a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant being held by a person or entity which does not hold a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant on the Effective Date, provided that the terms of this Section 13.8(a)(x) shall not apply as long as Tenant is a publicly traded company, (y) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of Tenants net assets, and (z) except as provided below, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant in one or more transactions or the merger, consolidation or conversion of Tenant into or with another business entity. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Article 13, an assignment or sublease of Tenants interest in this Lease to a Related Entity (defined below) of Tenant shall not be deemed an assignment or sublease requiring the consent of Landlord under this Article 13 (and Sections 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.4, 13.6, and 13.9 of this Lease shall not apply to such assignment or sublease), provided that (a) Tenant notifies Landlord of any such assignment or sublease promptly following the completion of any such transaction and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such assignment or sublease or such Related Entity, (b) such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, and (c) the successor to Tenant has a tangible net worth (the Net Worth Test) computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (and excluding goodwill, organization costs and other intangible assets) that is sufficient to meet the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and is at least equal to Thirty Million and No/100 Dollars ($30,000,000.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any such assignment or sublease permitted under this Section 13.8 relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. Related Entity shall mean any entity to whom Tenants interest in this Lease is assigned or sublet, provided such entity (i) is an entity controlled by, under common control with, or which controls Tenant (such entity to be referred to herein as an Affiliate), (ii) is the resulting entity (the Merged Entity) of a merger or consolidation of Tenant with another entity, (iii) any subsidiary of a Merged Entity, any parent company of any Merged Entity, or any subsidiary of the parent company of any Merged Entity or any subsidiary of any Merged Entity, or (iv) is an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the stock or business assets of Tenant. Control, as used in this Section 13.8, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to assign this Lease or sublease all or any portion of the Premises without Landlords consent pursuant to this Section 13.8 if an Event of Default by Tenant exists under this Lease.
(b) Applicability. The limitations set forth in this Section 13.8 shall apply to Transferee(s) and guarantor(s) of this Lease, if any, and any transfer by any such entity in violation of this Section 13.8 shall be a transfer in violation of Section 13.1.
Section 13.9 Assumption of Obligations. No assignment or transfer shall be effective unless and until the Transferee executes, acknowledges and delivers to Landlord an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the Transferee (a) assumes Tenants obligations under this Lease and (b) agrees that, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, the provisions of Section 13.1 hereof shall be binding upon it in respect of all future assignments and transfers.
Section 13.10 Tenants Liability. The joint and several liability of Tenant and any successors-in-interest of Tenant and the due performance of Tenants obligations under this Lease shall not be discharged, released or impaired by any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, extending the time, or modifying any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, to enforce any of the terms and provisions of this Lease.
Section 13.11 Listings in Building Directory. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant on the doors of the Premises, the Building directory or elsewhere shall not vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises, nor be deemed to constitute Landlords consent to any assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others. Any such listing shall constitute a privilege revocable in Landlords discretion by notice to Tenant.
-35-
Section 13.12 Lease Disaffirmance or Rejection. If at any time after an assignment by Tenant named herein, this Lease is not affirmed or is rejected in any bankruptcy proceeding or any similar proceeding, or upon a termination of this Lease due to any such proceeding, Tenant named herein, upon request of Landlord given after such disaffirmance, rejection or termination (and actual notice thereof to Landlord in the event of a disaffirmance or rejection or in the event of termination other than by act of Landlord), shall (a) pay to Landlord all Rent and other charges due and owing by the assignee to Landlord under this Lease to and including the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (b) as tenant, enter into a new lease of the Premises with Landlord for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination and ending on the Expiration Date, at the same Rent and upon the then executory terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (i) the rights of Tenant named herein under the new lease shall be subject to the possessory rights of the assignee under this Lease and the possessory rights of any persons or entities claiming through or under such assignee or by virtue of any statute or of any order of any court, (ii) such new lease shall require all defaults existing under this Lease to be cured by Tenant named herein with due diligence, and (iii) such new lease shall require Tenant named herein to pay all Rent which, had this Lease not been so disaffirmed, rejected or terminated, would have become due under the provisions of this Lease after the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior thereto. If Tenant named herein defaults in its obligations to enter into such new lease for a period of ten (10) days after Landlords request, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies by reason of default, either at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant named herein as if it had entered into such new lease and such new lease had thereafter been terminated as of the commencement date thereof by reason of Tenants default thereunder.

Section 15.2 Landlords Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord, at its option, and without limiting the exercise of any other right or remedy Landlord may have on account of such Event of Default, and without any further demand or notice, may give to Tenant three (3) days notice of termination of this Lease, in which event this Lease and the Term shall come to an end and expire (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) upon the expiration of such three (3) day period with the same force and effect as if the date set forth in the notice was the Expiration Date stated herein; and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in this Article 15, and/or, to the extent permitted by law, Landlord may remove all persons and property from the Premises, which property shall be stored by Landlord at a warehouse or elsewhere at the risk, expense and for the account of Tenant.
(b) If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant the aggregate of:
(i) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent earned as of the date of the termination hereof;
(ii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after the date of termination hereof until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(iii) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(iv) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for the detriment proximately caused by Tenants failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom; and
(v) Any other amount which Landlord may hereafter be permitted to recover from Tenant to compensate Landlord for the detriment caused by Tenants default.
For the purposes of this Section 15.2(b), rent shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others, the time of award shall mean the date upon which the judgment in any action brought by Landlord against Tenant by reason of such Event of Default is entered or such earlier date as the court may determine; the worth at the time of award of the amounts referred to in Sections 15.2(b)(i) and 15.2(b)(ii) shall be computed by allowing interest on such amounts at the Interest Rate; and the worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in Section 15.2(b)(iii) shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%) per annum. Tenant agrees that such charges shall be recoverable by Landlord under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1174(b) or any similar, successor or related provision of law.
Section 15.3 Recovering Rent as It Comes Due. Upon any Event of Default, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity or under this Lease, Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessees breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord may, from time to time, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all Rent as it becomes due. Such remedy may be exercised by Landlord without prejudice to its right thereafter to terminate this Lease in accordance with the other provisions contained in this Article 15. Landlords reentry to perform acts of maintenance or preservation of, or in connection with efforts to relet, the Premises, or any portion thereof, or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlords initiative to protect Landlords interest under this Lease shall not terminate Tenants right to possession of the Premises or any portion thereof and, until Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall continue in full force and Landlord may pursue all its remedies hereunder. Nothing in this Article 15 shall be deemed to affect Landlords right to indemnification, under the indemnification clauses contained in this Lease, for Losses arising from events occurring prior to the termination of this Lease.

Section 15.4 Reletting on Tenants Behalf. If Tenant abandons the Premises or if Landlord elects to reenter or takes possession of the Premises pursuant to any legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by Requirements, and until Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, recover all Rent as it becomes due pursuant to Section 15.3 and/or relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of and on behalf of Tenant, on any terms, for any term (whether or not longer than the Term), and at any rental as Landlord in its reasonable discretion may deem advisable, and Landlord may make any Work of Improvement to the Premises in connection therewith. Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as its attorney-in-fact, which appointment shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, for purposes of reletting the Premises pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. If Landlord elects to so relet the Premises on behalf of Tenant, then rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied:
(a) First, to reimburse Landlord for the costs and expenses of such reletting (including costs and expenses of retaking or repossessing the Premises, removing persons and property therefrom, securing new tenants, and, if Landlord maintains and operates the Premises, the costs thereof) and necessary or reasonable Work of Improvement, provided that the cost of such Work of Improvement is amortized over the term of the new lease and Tenant is required to reimburse Landlord for only such portion of such amortized costs that falls within the remaining Term of this Lease.
(b) Second, to the payment of any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than Rent due and unpaid hereunder.
(c) Third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of other or future obligations of Tenant to Landlord as the same may become due and payable.
Should the rentals received from such reletting, when applied in the manner and order indicated above, at any time be less than the total amount owing from Tenant pursuant to this Lease, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord, and if Tenant does not pay such deficiency within five (5) days of delivery of notice thereof to Tenant, Landlord may bring an action against Tenant for recovery of such deficiency or pursue its other remedies hereunder or under California Civil Code Section 1951.8, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 et seq., or any similar, successor or related Requirements.
Section 15.5 General.
(a) All rights, powers and remedies of Landlord hereunder and under any other agreement now or hereafter in force between Landlord and Tenant shall be cumulative and not alternative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to Landlord at law or in equity. The exercise of any one or more of such rights or remedies shall not impair Landlords right to exercise any other right or remedy including any and all rights and remedies of Landlord under California Civil Code Section 1951.8, California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 et seq., or any similar, successor or related Requirements.
(b) If, after Tenants abandonment of the Premises, Tenant leaves behind any of Tenants Property, then Landlord shall store such Tenants Property at a warehouse or any other location at the risk, expense and for the account of Tenant, and such property shall be released only upon Tenants payment of such charges, together with moving and other costs relating thereto and all other sums due and owing under this Lease. If Tenant does not reclaim such Tenants Property within the period permitted by law, Landlord may sell such Tenants Property in accordance with law and apply the proceeds of such sale to any sums due and owing hereunder, or retain said Property, granting Tenant credit against sums due and owing hereunder for the reasonable value of such Property.
-39-
(c) To the extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby waives all provisions of, and protections under, any Requirement to the extent same are inconsistent and in conflict with specific terms and provisions hereof.
Section 15.6 Interest. If any payment of Rent is not paid when due, interest shall accrue on such payment, from the date such payment became due until paid at the Interest Rate. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any note secured by a Mortgage covering the Premises. Therefore, in addition to interest, if any amount is not paid when due, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such amount shall be assessed; provided, however, that on two (2) occasions during any calendar year of the Term, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of such late payment and Tenant shall have a period of five (5) days thereafter in which to make such payment before any late charge is assessed. Such interest and late charges are separate and cumulative and are in addition to and shall not diminish or represent a substitute for any of Landlords rights or remedies under any other provision of this Lease.
Section 15.7 Other Rights of Landlord. If Tenant fails to pay any Additional Rent when due, Landlord, in addition to any other right or remedy, shall have the same rights and remedies as in the case of a default by Tenant in the payment of Fixed Rent. If Tenant is in arrears in the payment of Rent, Tenant waives Tenants right, if any, to designate the items against which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to any items Landlord sees fit, regardless of any request by Tenant. Landlord reserves the right, without liability to Tenant and without constituting any claim of constructive eviction, to suspend furnishing or rendering to Tenant any property, material, labor, utility or other service, whenever Landlord is obligated to furnish or render the same at the expense of Tenant, in the event that (but only for so long as) Tenant is in arrears in paying Landlord for such items for more than five (5) days after notice from Landlord to Tenant demanding the payment of such arrears.
Section 15.8 Landlord Default.
(a) In General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall not be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlords failure to perform; provided, however, if the nature of Landlords obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursue the same to completion. Upon any such default by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant may, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, exercise any of its rights provided at law or in equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any of the Abatement Amount, Landlords Contribution and the Renewal Allowance required to be paid by Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease are not paid when due, then Tenant shall have the right, if Landlord fails to pay such amount due within thirty (30) days following written notice to Landlord, to offset such amounts, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date such payments were due, against the next payments of Rent, on a monthly basis, until such amounts are fully exhausted.
(b) Abatement of Rent. In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, as a result of any failure to provide services, utilities or access to the Premises to the extent Landlord is obligated to provide same under this Lease (any such set of circumstances to be known as an Abatement Event), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for five (5) consecutive days after Landlords receipt of any such notice (the Eligibility Period), then Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after the expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, a portion of the Premises for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period and the remaining portion of
-40-
the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Rent for the entire Premises shall be abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises. Such right to abate Rent shall be Tenants sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for an Abatement Event; provided, however, that if Landlord has not cured such Abatement Event within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of notice from Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first five (5) days of each calendar month following the end of such 180-day period until such time as Landlord has cured the Abatement Event, which right may be exercised only by delivery of thirty (30) days notice to Landlord (the Abatement Event Termination Notice) during such five (5) day period, and shall be effective as of a date set forth in the Abatement Event Termination Notice (the Abatement Event Termination Date), which Abatement Event Termination Date shall not be less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days, following the delivery of the Abatement Event Termination Notice. To the extent Tenant is entitled to abatement without regard to the Eligibility Period because of an event described in Section 11.3 or Article 12 of this Lease, then the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable. Except as provided in this Section 15.8(b), nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder
ARTICLE 16
LANDLORDS RIGHT TO CURE; FEES AND EXPENSES
If Tenant defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord, without waiving such default, may perform such obligations at Tenants expense: (a) immediately, and without notice, in the case of emergency or if the default (i) materially interferes with the use by any other tenant of the Building or Project, (ii) results in a violation of any Requirement relating to the health and safety of tenants of the Building, or (iii) results or will result in a cancellation of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord, and (b) in any other case if such default continues after ten (10) Business Days from the date Landlord gives notice of Landlords intention to perform the defaulted obligation, unless Tenant commences to cure such default within such ten (10) Business Day period and diligently pursues such cure to completion. All costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such performance by it and all costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, incurred by Landlord in any action or proceeding (including any unlawful detainer proceeding) brought by Landlord or in which Landlord is a party to enforce any obligation of Tenant under this Lease and/or right of Landlord in or to the Premises or as a result of any default by Tenant under this Lease, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date incurred by Landlord. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, all costs and expenses which, pursuant to this Lease are incurred by Landlord and payable to Landlord by Tenant, and all charges, amounts and sums payable to Landlord by Tenant for any property, material, labor, utility or other services which, pursuant to this Lease, are attributable directly to Tenants use and occupancy of the Premises or presence at the Building or Project, or at the request and for the account of Tenant, are provided, furnished or rendered by Landlord, shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of Landlords invoice for such amount.
ARTICLE 17
NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD; LANDLORDS APPROVAL
Section 17.1 No Representations. Except as expressly set forth herein, Landlord and Landlords agents have made no warranties, representations, statements or promises with respect to the Building, the Project or the Premises and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise. Tenant is entering into this Lease after full investigation and is not relying upon any statement or representation made by Landlord not embodied in this Lease.
-41-
Section 17.2 No Money Damages. Wherever in this Lease Landlords consent or approval is required, if Landlord refuses to grant such consent or approval, whether or not Landlord expressly agreed that such consent or approval would not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall not make or exercise, and Tenant hereby waives, any claim for money damages (including any claim by way of set-off, offset, counterclaim or defense) and/or any right to terminate this Lease based upon Tenants claim or assertion that Landlord unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent or approval; provided, however, Tenant shall have a right to file a claim for monetary damages resulting from Landlords failure to consent to (i) a proposed Alteration pursuant to the terms of Article 5 of this Lease or (ii) a proposed assignment or sublease pursuant to the terms of Article 13 of this Lease. Tenants sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce such provision, by specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment. In no event shall Landlord or the Landlord Parties be liable for, and Tenant, on behalf of itself and all other Tenant Parties, hereby waives any claim for, any indirect, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits or business opportunity, arising under or in connection with the Lease Documents.
Section 17.3 Reasonable Efforts. For purposes of this Lease, reasonable efforts by Landlord shall not include an obligation to employ contractors or labor at overtime or other premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs or additional expenses whatsoever, unless such action is required to avoid material interference with the operation of Tenants business.
ARTICLE 18
END OF TERM
Section 18.1 Expiration. Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord vacant, broom clean and in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage for which Tenant is not responsible under the terms of this Lease excepted, and Tenant shall remove all of Tenants Property and any Alterations required to be removed in accordance with Section 5.1(a), above.
Section 18.2 Holdover Rent. Landlord and Tenant recognize that Landlords damages resulting from Tenants failure to timely surrender possession of the Premises may be substantial, may exceed the amount of the Rent payable hereunder, and will be impossible to accurately measure. Accordingly, if possession of the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord on the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have hereunder or at law, Tenant shall (a) pay to Landlord for each month (or any portion thereof) during which Tenant holds over in the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, a sum equal to (i) during the first two (2) months of such holdover, 1.25 times the Rent payable under this Lease for the last full calendar month of the Term, and (ii) thereafter, 1.5 times the Rent payable under this Lease for the last full calendar month of the Term, (b) commencing after 120 days of such holdover and continuing thereafter, be liable to Landlord for (1) any payment or rent concession which Landlord may be required to make to any tenant obtained by Landlord for all or any part of the Premises (a New Tenant) in order to induce such New Tenant not to terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant, and (2) the loss of the benefit of the bargain if any New Tenant shall terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant, and (c) commencing after 120 days of such holdover and continuing thereafter, indemnify Landlord against all claims for damages by any New Tenant. No holding-over by Tenant, nor the payment to Landlord of the amounts specified above, shall operate to extend the Term hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, and no acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18.2.
-42-
ARTICLE 19
QUIET ENJOYMENT
Provided this Lease is in full force and effect and no Event of Default then exists, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises without hindrance by Landlord or any person lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and to all Superior Leases and Mortgages.
ARTICLE 20
NO SURRENDER; NO WAIVER
Section 20.1 No Surrender or Release. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlords agents or employees during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver is in writing and is signed by Landlord.
Section 20.2 No Waiver. The failure of either party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the Rules and Regulations, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future performance of such obligations of this Lease or the Rules and Regulations, or of the right to exercise such election but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt by Landlord of any Rent payable pursuant to this Lease or any other sums with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, or as Landlord may elect to apply such payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlords right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.
ARTICLE 21
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY
Section 21.1 Jury Trial Waiver.

Landlord reserves the right, from time to time, to adopt additional reasonable Rules and Regulations and to reasonably amend the Rules and Regulations then in effect. Nothing contained in this Lease shall impose upon Landlord any obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease against any other Building tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its employees, agents, visitors or licensees, provided that Landlord shall enforce the Rules or Regulations against Tenant and the other tenants of the Building in a consistent and non-discriminatory fashion. In the event of a conflict between this Lease and the Rules and Regulations, this Lease shall prevail.
ARTICLE 24
BROKER
Section 24.1 In General. Landlord has retained Landlords Agent as leasing agent in connection with this Lease and Landlord will be solely responsible for any fee that may be payable to Landlords Agent. Landlord agrees to pay a commission to Tenants Broker pursuant to a separate agreement. Each of Landlord and Tenant represents and warrants to the other that neither it nor its agents have dealt with any broker in connection with this Lease other than Landlords Agent and Tenants Broker. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all Losses which the indemnified party may incur by reason of any claim of or liability to any broker, finder or like agent (other than Landlords Agent and Tenants Broker) arising out of any dealings claimed to have occurred between the indemnifying party and the claimant in connection with this Lease, and/or the above representation being false.
Section 24.2 Rental Offset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any of the real estate brokerage commissions required to be paid by Landlord in accordance with the terms of that certain commission agreement between Tenants Broker and Landlord (the Commission Agreement) are not paid when due (provided that all applicable conditions for the payment of any such brokerage commissions in connection with this Lease have been fully satisfied, including, but not limited to, the expiration of any time period set forth herein or in the Commission Agreement for Landlord to pay any such amounts), Tenant shall have the right, following thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord, to pay the outstanding brokerage commissions directly, in which event such amounts, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date such payments were due, shall be credited against the next payments of Rent, on a monthly basis, until such amounts are fully exhausted; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right, in good faith, to notify Tenant in writing within thirty (30) days following Landlords receipt of Tenants notice that the amounts described in Tenants notice have been previously paid by Landlord, and upon Landlord providing evidence thereof to Tenant, Tenant shall not be entitled to offset such amount against Rent.

ARTICLE 25
INDEMNITY
Section 25.1 Waiver of Liability. Neither Landlord nor any of its Indemnitees shall be liable or responsible in any way for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against the Indemnitees with respect to or arising out of (a) any death or any injury of any nature whatsoever that may be suffered or sustained by Tenant or any employee, licensee, invitee or agent of Tenant or any other person, from any causes whatsoever except to the extent such injury or death is caused by or arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees; or (b) any loss or damage or injury to any property outside or within the Premises belonging to Tenant or its employees, agents, licensees or invitees; except to the extent such injury or damage is to property not covered by insurance carried (or required to be carried) by Tenant and is caused by or arises from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees. Subject to the foregoing and the terms of Section 11.2, none of the Indemnitees shall be liable for any damage or damages of any nature whatsoever to persons or property caused by explosion, fire, theft or breakage, by sprinkler, drainage or plumbing systems, by failure for any cause to supply adequate drainage, by the interruption of any public utility or service, by steam, gas, water, rain or other substances leaking, issuing or flowing into any part of the Premises, by natural occurrence, acts of the public enemy, riot, strike, insurrection, war, court order, requisition or order of governmental body or authority, or for any damage or inconvenience which may arise through repair, maintenance or alteration of any part of the Building, or by anything done or omitted to be done by any tenant, occupant or person in the Building; provided, however, that the Indemnitees shall be liable for property damage and personal injury resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees. In addition, subject to the terms of Section 11.2, none of the Indemnitees shall be liable for any loss or damage for which Tenant is required to insure, nor for any loss or damage resulting from any construction, alterations or repair, unless any such loss or damage is caused by or arises from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees.
Section 25.2 Tenants Indemnity. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing upon the Premises, the Building or the Project which may subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility for injury, damages to persons or property or to any liability by reason of any violation of any Requirement, and shall exercise such control over the Premises as to fully protect Landlord against any such liability. Except to the extent of any such injury or damage resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlords agents, employees or contractors, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless each of the Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses, resulting from any claims (i) against the Indemnitees arising from any act, omission or negligence of any Tenant Party, (ii) against the Indemnitees arising from any accident, injury or damage to any person or to the property of any person and occurring in the Premises, and (iii) against the Indemnitees resulting from any breach, violation or nonperformance of any covenant, condition or agreement of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be fulfilled, kept, observed or performed.
Section 25.3 Landlords Indemnity. Landlord shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Tenant and the other Tenant Indemnitees (as defined in Exhibit B) from and against all Losses, resulting from any claims (i) against the Tenant Indemnitees arising from any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person or the property of any person in or about the Project to the extent attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors or (ii) against the Tenant Indemnitees resulting from any breach, violation or nonperformance of any covenant, condition or agreement of this Lease on the part of Landlord to be fulfilled, kept, observed or performed.
Section 25.4 Defense and Settlement. If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought against any Indemnitee or Tenant Indemnitee, then upon demand by an Indemnitee or a Tenant Indemnitee, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, at its sole cost and expense, shall resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding in the Indemnitees or Tenant Indemnitees name (if necessary), by attorneys approved by such party , which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (attorneys for Tenants or Landlords insurer, as the case may be, shall be deemed approved for purposes of this Section 25.4). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee or a Tenant Indemnitee, may retain its own attorneys to participate or assist in defending any claim, action or proceeding involving potential liability in excess of the amount available under Tenants or Landlords liability insurance, as the case may be, carried under Article 11 for such claim and Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such attorneys. If either Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, fails to diligently defend or if there is a legal conflict or other conflict of interest, then Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, may retain separate counsel at the other partys expense. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Tenant may direct the Indemnitee or Landlord may direct the Tenant Indemnitee to settle any claim, suit or other proceeding provided that (a) such settlement shall involve no obligation on the part of the Indemnitee or Tenant Indemnitee other than the payment of money, (b) any payments to be made pursuant to such settlement shall be paid in full exclusively by Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, at the time such settlement is reached, (c) such settlement shall not require the Indemnitee or the Tenant Indemnitee to admit any liability, and (d) the Indemnitee or the Tenant Indemnitee, as the case may be, shall have received an unconditional release from the other parties to such claim, suit or other proceeding.

PARKING
Tenant shall be entitled to the use of unreserved parking spaces available within the Development Common Areas in accordance with the terms of this Article 28, the CC&Rs and any parking guidelines (the Parking Guidelines) adopted for use of parking within the Development Common Areas from time to time. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the following conditions apply with respect to the use, maintenance and allocation of parking within the Development Common Area under the CC&Rs: (i) the owners (and their respective tenants) of buildings within the Development (including, without limitation, the owner of the Project and its tenants) are entitled to 3.15 parking spaces for every 1,000 rentable square feet of space (as the same may be modified from time to time, the Parking Ratio), and (ii) the use of parking spaces within the Development Common Areas by the owner of the Project and their respective tenants is regulated through the issuance of parking cards (Parking Key Cards) by the parking company employed to monitor parking within the Development Common Areas (the Parking Agent).

-50-
subtenants (including a request by Tenant to Landlord to obtain Parking Key Cards for Tenant) which causes Tenant to be using more than the number of Parking Spaces allocated to Tenant hereunder, then, upon written request by Landlord, the Parking Agent or any other party authorized to enforce the Parking Ratio, Tenant shall return the number of excess Parking Key Cards. Additionally, in the event that Tenant uses more than the number of Parking Spaces allocated to Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay the prevailing fee (plus parking taxes) charged by the Parking Agent under the CC&Rs for any such Parking Spaces.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 28 or elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that (a) Landlords rights with respect to parking are as set forth in the CC&Rs and the Parking Guidelines, and that, pursuant to the CC&Rs, Landlord does not control specific parking spaces or any specific number of spaces, (b) Landlords obligations with respect to parking hereunder are therefore necessarily limited to providing to Tenant parking pursuant to, and Landlords exercise of, its rights with respect to parking and the Project pursuant to the CC&Rs, and (c) Landlord has not made any representation or warranty concerning the location or number of parking spaces that may be made available to Tenant within the Development Common Areas.

LOAN NO.: 50 ###-###-####
SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
This SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (the Agreement) is dated as of the 23rd day of March, 2010, between U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Successor Trustee for the Registered Holders of Wachovia Large Loan, Inc., Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-Whale7 (Lender), and MINDSPEED TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (Tenant).
RECITALS
A. Tenant is the tenant under a certain lease (the Lease) dated March 23, 2010, with 4000 MacArthur, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (Landlord) or its predecessor in interest, of premises described in the Lease (the Premises) located in a certain office building known as the East Tower located at 4000 MacArthur Boulevard, Newport Beach, California and more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (such office building, including the Premises, is hereinafter referred to as the Property).
B. This Agreement is being entered into in connection with a mortgage loan (the Loan) previously made to Landlord and currently held by Lender, evidenced and secured by, among other things: (a) a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of March 28, 2006 (the Loan Agreement), (b) the Deed of Trust (as defined in the Loan Agreement) previously recorded with the registry or clerk of the county in which the Property is located (the Registry); and (c) the Assignment (as defined in the Loan Agreement) previously recorded with the Registry. The Deed of Trust and Assignment are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Security Documents.
AGREEMENT
For mutual consideration, including the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Tenant agrees that the Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to the Security Documents and to all present or future advances under the obligations secured thereby and all renewals, amendments, modifications, consolidations and extensions of the secured obligations and the Security Documents, to the full extent of all amounts secured by the Security Documents from time to time. Said subordination is to have the same force and effect as if the Security Documents and such renewals, modifications, consolidations and extensions thereof had been executed, acknowledged, delivered and recorded prior to the Lease, any amendments or modifications thereof and any notice thereof.
2. Lender agrees that, if the Lender exercises any of its rights under the Security Documents, including an entry by Lender pursuant to the Deed of Trust or a foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, Lender shall not disturb Tenants right of quiet possession of the Premises under the terms of the Lease so long as Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable grace period of any term, covenant or condition of the Lease.

3. Tenant agrees that, in the event of a foreclosure of the Deed of Trust by Lender or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure by Lender or any other succession of Lender to fee ownership, Tenant will attorn to and recognize Lender as its landlord under the Lease for the remainder of the term of the Lease (including all extension periods which have been or are hereafter exercised) upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Lease, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay and perform all of the obligations of Tenant pursuant to the Lease.
4. Tenant agrees that, in the event Lender succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, Lender shall not be:
(a) liable for any act or omission of any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord); provided, however, nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of Tenants rights or remedies in the event such act or omission is of a continuing nature (such as, for example, Landlords failure to fulfill a repair obligation), Lender has been given notice and opportunity to cure as provided in Section 6 below, and such continuing default has not been cured by Lender, or
(b) subject to any defense or offsets which Tenant may have against any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord), provided, however, nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of Tenants defenses or offset rights relating to Landlord defaults of a continuing nature (such as, for example, Landlords failure to fulfill a repair obligation), but only to the extent Lender has been given notice and opportunity to cure as provided in Section 6 below and such continuing default has not been cured by Lender, or
(c) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than one month in advance of the due date under the Lease to any prior Landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting Landlord), except to the extent such advance rent has been received by Lender, or
(d) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time Lender succeeded to any prior Landlords interest, other than payments of the Abatement Amount, Landlords Contribution and the Renewal Allowance (as such terms are defined in the Lease), but only to the extent Lender is then holding funds in the Reletting Reserve Subaccount and/or Curtailment Reserve Subaccount (as such terms are defined in the Loan Agreement) to cover such payments; or
(e) accountable for any monies deposited with any prior Landlord (including security deposits), except to the extent such monies are actually received by Lender, or
(f) bound by any surrender or termination of the Lease (except to the extent expressly provided for in the Lease) or any amendment or modification of the Lease made without the consent of Lender, to the extent Lender Consent is required pursuant to the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
5. Tenant agrees that, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the terms of the Deed of Trust shall continue to govern with respect to the disposition of any insurance proceeds or eminent domain awards, and any obligations of Landlord to restore the real estate of which the Premises are a part shall, insofar as they apply to Lender, be limited to insurance proceeds or eminent domain awards received by Lender after the deduction of all costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such proceeds or awards.

6. Tenant hereby agrees to give to Lender copies of all notices of Landlord default(s) under the Lease in the same manner as, and whenever, Tenant shall give any such notice of default to Landlord, and no such notice of default shall be deemed given to Landlord unless and until a copy of such notice shall have been so delivered to Lender. Lender shall have the right to remedy any Landlord default under the Lease, or to cause any default of Landlord under the Lease to be remedied, and for such purpose Tenant hereby grants Lender such additional period of time as may be reasonable to enable Lender to remedy, or cause to be remedied, any such default in addition to the period given to Landlord for remedying, or causing to be remedied, any such default under the Lease, not to exceed thirty (30) additional days for monetary defaults and sixty (60) additional days for non-monetary defaults. Tenant shall accept performance by Lender of any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed by Landlord under the Lease with the same force and effect as though performed by Landlord. No Landlord default under the Lease shall exist or shall be deemed to exist (i) as long as Lender, in good faith, shall have commenced to cure such default within the above referenced time period and shall be prosecuting the same to completion with reasonable diligence, subject to force majeure, or (ii) if possession of the Premises is required in order to cure such default, or if such default is not susceptible of being cured by Lender, as long as Lender, in good faith, shall have notified Tenant that Lender intends to institute proceedings under the Security Documents, and, thereafter, as long as such proceedings shall have been instituted and shall be prosecuted with reasonable diligence. Lender shall have the right, without Tenants consent, to foreclose the Deed of Trust or to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or to exercise any other remedies under the Security Documents. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(d) and this Section 6, Lender agrees that Tenant shall have the right to abate Rent (as defined in the Lease) in accordance with the terms of the Lease in the event the Abatement Amount, the Landlords Contribution and/or the Renewal Allowance is not paid to Tenant when due under the Lease, subject to the notice and cure rights provided to the Landlord under the Lease.
7. Tenant hereby consents to the Assignment from Landlord to Lender in connection with the Loan. Tenant acknowledges that the interest of the Landlord under the Lease is to be assigned to Lender solely as security for the purposes specified in said assignments, and Lender shall have no duty, liability or obligation whatsoever under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, either by virtue of said assignments or by any subsequent receipt or collection of rents thereunder, unless Lender shall specifically undertake such liability in writing or unless Lender or its designee or nominee becomes, and then only with respect to periods in which Lender or its designee or nominee becomes, the fee owner of the Premises. Tenant agrees that upon receipt of a written notice from Lender of a default by Landlord under the Loan, Tenant will thereafter, if requested by Lender, pay rent to Lender in accordance with the terms of the Lease. Tenant shall be under no obligation to ascertain whether a default by Landlord has occurred under the Loan. Landlord waives any right, claim or demand it may now or hereafter have against Tenant by reason of such direct payment to Lender and agrees that such direct payment to Lender shall discharge all obligations of Tenant to make such payment to Landlord.
8. Subject to Section 4(f) above, the Lease shall not be assigned by Tenant, modified, amended or terminated (except a termination that is permitted in the Lease without Landlords consent) without Lenders prior written consent in each instance which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
9. Any notice, election, communication, request or other document or demand required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered on the earlier to occur of (a) receipt or (b) the date of delivery, refusal or nondelivery indicated on the return receipt, if deposited in a United States Postal Service Depository, postage prepaid, sent certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or if sent via a recognized commercial courier service providing for a receipt, addressed to Tenant or Lender, as the case may be, at the following addresses:
