Tenant agrees that if the Tenant shall fail to make any payments required under this Lease when due, the Security Deposit may, at the option of the Landlord, be applied to any Rent due and unpaid, and if the Tenant violates any of the other terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Security Deposit may be applied to any damages suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenant's default. Under no circumstances shall Tenant have the right to apply the Security 4 Deposit against all or a portion of Tenant's payment obligations under any of the provisions of this Lease. 3.3.1 Nothing contained in this Section shall in any way diminish or be construed as waiving any of Landlord's other remedies provided in Article 17 hereof, or at law or in equity. Should the entire Security Deposit, or any portion thereof be appropriated and applied by Landlord for the payment of overdue Rent or other sums due and payable to Landlord by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall, on the written demand of Landlord, remit to Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant's failure to do so within five (5) days after receipt of such demand shall constitute an Event of Default. Should Tenant comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and promptly pay all of the Rent and other sums payable by Tenant to Landlord when due hereunder, the Security Deposit (or any remaining portion thereof) shall be returned to Tenant at the end of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease.

If the Direct Expenses paid or incurred by the Landlord for the Comparison Year are in excess of the Direct Expenses paid or incurred for the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay Tenant's Percentage Share of the increase as Additional Rent. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Tenant shall not be required to pay any Direct Expenses in excess of Direct Expenses paid or incurred for the Base Year, until after the first Anniversary Date of this Lease. Landlord shall endeavor to give to Tenant, on or before the first day of March of each year following the respective Comparison Year, a statement of the increase in Direct Expenses payable by Tenant hereunder, but failure by Landlord to give such statement by March 1 shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to require payment of the increase in Direct Expenses. Upon receipt of the statement for the first Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay in full the total amount of increase due for the first Comparison Year. In addition for the then current year, the amount which Landlord estimates, at Landlord's sole determination, for the increase in 8 Direct Expenses between the Base Year and the said current year shall be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly installments, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, concurrently with the Minimum Monthly Rent payment next due following the receipt of such statement, an amount equal to one (1) monthly installment multiplied by the number of months from January in the calendar year in which said statement is submitted to the month of such payment, both months inclusive. Subsequent installments shall be payable concurrently with the Minimum Monthly Rent payments for the balance of that calendar year. If the ne ct or any succeeding Comparison Year results in a greater increase in Direct Expenses than that previously estimated by the Landlord, then, not later than twenty (20) days following receipt of a statement from Landlord, Tenant shall pay a lump sum equal to such total increase in Direct Expenses over the Comparison Year, less the total of the monthly installments of estimated increases paid in the previous year for which comparison is then being made and the estimated monthly installments to be paid for the next year, following said Comparison Year, shall be adjusted to reflect Landlord's estimate of such increase in Direct Expenses for that current year. If, in any Comparison Year, the Tenant's share of Direct Expenses is less than the preceding year, then upon receipt of Landlord's statement, any overpayment made by Tenant on the monthly installment basis provided above shall be credited towards the next installment of Minimum Monthly Rent falling due. 4.2.1 Not more frequently than once per calendar year, after receipt of Landlord's statement comparing Tenant's payment of Direct Expenses during that calendar year against Tenant's Percentage Share of such expenses, Tenant may request in writing to audit Landlord's books and records pertaining to such expenses. Tenant shall have no right to request to audit Landlord's books and records pertaining to such expenses, except during such period. If no such written request is made within the period, Tenant stipulates and agrees that said figures are for all purposes correct and accurate, and the amount of the billing is proper. In the event Tenant requests copies of any portion of Landlord's books and records pertaining to such expenses, such copies shall be provided by Landlord to Tenant at Tenant's expense. *See Addendum 4.3 FINAL DETERMINATION OF TENANT'S SHARE OF DIRECT EXPENSES. Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's Percentage Share for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay any increase due over the estimated Direct Expenses paid, and conversely, any overpayment made by Tenant in the event Direct Expenses decrease shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant. 9 4.4 TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY. Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, all taxes, assessments, license fees and public charges levied, assessed or imposed upon or measured by the value of its business operation, including but not limited to the furniture, trade and other fixtures, equipment and other property of Tenant at any time situated on or installed in the Premises by Tenant. If at any time during the Term any of the foregoing are assessed as a part of the real property of which the Premises are a part, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the amount of such additional taxes as may be levied against said real property by reason thereof. For the purpose of determining said amount, figures supplied by the County Assessor as to the amount so assessed shall be conclusive. 4.5 BUILDING SERVICES AND UTILITIES. Landlord shall also furnish to the Premises (i) sewer and domestic water service and (ii) facilities for the delivery and distribution within the Premises of electricity and telephone (the foregoing utility facilities and the HVAC Service are hereinafter collectively referred to as "Utilities"). Tenant shall pay for all Utilities used by Tenant within the Premises. If a separate meter is required by Tenant for any Utilities, such meter shall be installed and maintained at Tenant's expense. *See Addendum 4.5.1 If Tenant's electrical consumption is separately metered, Tenant shall pay for such costs directly to the public utility company or to Landlord as Landlord directs (and if such payment is made to Landlord, Landlord shall be responsible for payment to the public utility). If Tenant's electrical consumption is NOT separately metered, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Percentage Share of the electrical consumption of the Building as a part of Direct Expenses; provided however, if Tenant's electrical consumption was not initially separately metered and if a separate meter is subsequently installed to monitor Tenant's electrical consumption, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to Minimum Monthly Rent and Direct Expenses to account for the fact that Tenant is directly paying such separately metered charges to the public utility (or to Landlord as the case may be) and not as a part of Tenant's Minimum Monthly Rent or Tenant's Percentage Share of Direct Expenses. If Tenant's electrical consumption is NOT separately metered and is in excess of the quantity provided by Landlord or extends beyond Business Hours, Landlord may install a separate switch, meter or metering system to be installed at Tenant's expense to measure the amount of electrical consumption by Tenant and charge Tenant for such excess consumption at the rates charged by the local public utility providing the same plus any additional expense incurred in keeping account of the electricity so consumed. 4.5.2 Landlord shall provide customary and routine cleaning and janitorial service for the Premises not less than five (5) days per week, during non Business Hours; provided 10 however, if Tenant is a health care provider, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, (i) make arrangements for such cleaning and janitorial services for the Premises with a contractor which shall be subject to the reasonable prior approval of Landlord and (ii) satisfy all laws and regulations governing the disposal of medical waste and to arrange for the proper disposal of such waste. The disposal of medical waste is not part of the ordinary services provided by Landlord, and Landlord is not required to provide such services pursuant to this Lease. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, loss or liability arising out of or in any connected to Tenant's disposal of such waste. 4.5.3 Tenant shall not install or use machinery or equipment that use excess water, lighting or power, nor shall Tenant permit any act that causes extra burden upon the Utilities, or Building services. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord within ten (10) working days after Tenant's receipt of an invoice from Landlord, all reasonable charges imposed by Landlord from time to time for all such excess Utilities and/or additional, services consumed by Tenant or used in the Premises. 4.5.4 Landlord reserves the right to interrupt, curtail, stop or suspend Utilities when necessary, in Landlord's reasonable discretion by reason of accident or emergency, or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements or because of difficulty or inability in securing supplies or labor, or because of strikes, or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, whether such cause be similar or dissimilar to those hereinabove specifically mentioned, until such cause has been removed. Except as specifically provided in Section 4.7 below, there shall be no diminution or abatement of Rent or other charges due under this Lease as a result of said interruption, curtailment or suspension of Utilities and/or other Building services, nor shall this Lease be affected or any of the Tenant's obligations hereunder be reduced. Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for any such interruption, curtailment, stoppage or suspension of services or systems as provided for in this Section 4.5, except that Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause of same. 4.5.5 Landlord reserves the right to install new or additional utility facilities throughout the Building and the Common Areas for the benefit of the Landlord or Tenant, or any other tenants of the Building, including, but not by way of limitation, such Utilities as plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC systems, communication systems and fire protection and detection systems, including entry into the Premises for such purposes, so long as such installations do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises 11 4.6 ADDITIONAL RENT. All charges payable by Tenant other than Minimum Monthly Rent are called "Additional Rent". Unless this Lease provides otherwise, all Additional Rent shall be paid with the next monthly installment of Minimum Monthly Rent. The term "Rent" shall mean Minimum Monthly Rent and Additional Rent. Tenant's failure to pay any Additional Rent due hereunder shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. 4.7 ABATEMENT OF RENT WHEN TENANT IS PREVENTED FROM USING PREMISES. Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof, for ten (10) consecutive business days (the "Eligibility Period") as a result of any damage or destruction to the Premises or any repair, maintenance or alteration performed by Landlord at any time after Tenant commences business from any portion of the Premises, which interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises, or any failure to provide utilities, services or access to the Premises or because of an eminent domain proceeding, then Tenant's Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after 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. However, in the event that Tenant is prevented from conducting, and does not conduct, its business in any portion of the Premises for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period, and the remaining portion of 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; provided, however, if Tenant reoccupies and conducts its business from 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 such business operations commence. If Tenant's right to abatement occurs because of damage or destruction to the Premises or Tenant's property, Tenant's abatement period shall continue until Tenant has been given sufficient time, and sufficient access to the Premises. :o rebuild the portion of the Premises it is required to rebuild, to install its property, furniture, fixtures, and equipment and to move in over one (1) weekend. To the extent Tenant is entitled to abatement because of an event covered by Article 10 (Damage or Destruction) or Article 11 (Eminent Domain) of this Lease, then the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable. 12 ARTICLE 5 - USE OF PREMISES 5.1 USE. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant's use of the Premises shall be subject to any matters or documents of record, including the effect of any covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, mortgage s or deeds of trust, ground leases, rights-of-way, or any construction, operation and reciprocal easement agreement, and the effect of any zoning laws of the city, county and state where the Building is located. Tenant shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Uses identified in Section 1.7 above and shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord.

Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises, and Tenant shall conduct itself and cause its employees, agents and invites to conduct themselves, with full regard to the rights, convenience and welfare of all other tenants in the Building.

Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements of any board of fire insurance underwriters or other similar bodies now or hereafter constituted, relating to, or affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises, excluding structural changes 13 are not related to or affected by Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises and/or Tenant's improvements or acts. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact as between the Landlord and Tenant. 5.3 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. Tenant shall not (either with or without negligence) cause or permit the escape, disposal, or release of any biologically or chemically active or other hazardous substances or materials (collectively "Hazardous Substances"). Tenant shall not allow the storage or use of such Hazardous Substances in any manner not sanctioned by law or by the highest standards prevailing in the industry for the storage and use of such Hazardous Substances, nor allow any Hazardous Substances to be brought into the Project and such Hazardous Substances, except to use in the ordinary course of Tenant's business, and then only after written notice is given to Landlord of the identity of such Hazardous Substances.

Landlord shall have the right, at any time, to remodel, expand, change or refurbish all or any part of the Building, Common Areas or the surrounding property, including the right (but not the obligation) to enclose or otherwise cover all or part of the Common Areas, to landscape or re-landscape portions of the Building or Common Areas, to reconstruct, remodel or refurbish any portion of the exterior of the Building, and/or to change, modify or alter parking, access or other traffic matters. In connection with the exercise of Landlord's rights as set forth in this Section 8.6, Landlord, its agents and employees, shall have the right of reasonable entry and to conduct work within the Premises. Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any and all liability arising from (i) any interference or diminution in access to the Premises; (ii) noise or dust resulting from Landlord's work; and (iii) reduction or limitation of available parking spaces for Tenant's employees and invitees, so long as such activity does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of Tenant's business. This Lease is not intended to nor shall it confer upon Tenant any view corridors. The obstruction of Tenant's view, ail or light by any structure erected in the vicinity of the Building, whether by Landlord or third parties, shall not in any way affect this Lease or impose any liability upon Landlord, nor shall Landlord be liable for interference with any other incorporeal hereditament. ARTICLE 9 - PERFORMANCE BY TENANT All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement of Rent except as specifically provided in Section 4.7 above. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money owed to any party other than Landlord, or perform any act for any party other than Landlord, for which Tenant is liable hereunder, and such failure or violation shall continue for fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof by Landlord, and a reasonable additional period of time thereafter to perform any such act if such additional time is required, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from its obligations, make any such payment or perform any such 21 other act to be made or performed by Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date of such payment by Landlord, shall be payable to Landlord on demand, and shall be deemed Additional Rent. ARTICLE 10 - DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF LEASEHOLD 10.1 DESTRUCTION COVERED BY INSURANCE. In the event the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other perils which are fully covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, Landlord agrees to forthwith repair the same, and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Landlord may elect, by written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after such casualty, to terminate this Lease in lieu of restoring the Premises if either (i) the Building or Premises are damaged or destroyed to the extent of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of their replacement cost, or (ii) the damage is such that the Building or the Premises cannot be repaired and restored within one hundred eighty (180) days after the casualty. 10.2 DESTRUCTION NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE. In the event the Premises or the Building are damaged as a result of any cause other than the perils covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, Landlord shall have the option to: (i) repair or restore such damage, this Lease continuing in full force and effect; or (ii) give notice to Tenant at any time within sixty (60) days after such damage, terminating this Lease as of the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) days and no more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice. In the event Landlord gives notice of its election to terminate this Lease, as is provided for in this Section 10.2, the Lease shall terminate, and all interest of the Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on the date so specified in such notice and the Rent shall be paid up to date of termination. 10.3 REPAIR COSTS EXCEEDING INSURANCE COVERAGE. If the cost of the restoration of the Premises or the Building exceeds the amount of proceeds received from insurance, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after determining that the restoration cost will exceed the insurance proceeds. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease and Tenant does not elect to contribute toward the cost of restoration as provided in this Section 10.3, this Lease shall terminate, and all interest of the Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on the date so specified in such notice and the Rent shall be paid up to date of termination. If the destruction was caused by an act or omission of Tenant, or its agents or employees, Tenant shall immediately pay Landlord, upon Landlord's demand, the difference between the actual cost of restoration and any insurance proceeds received by Landlord. 22 10.4 REPAIRS THAT CANNOT BE COMPLETED WITHIN ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY DAYS. Within sixty (60) days after the date of Tenant's notice to Landlord of such damage or destruction ("Damage Notice Date"), Landlord shall give Tenant notice of Landlord's good faith determination of whether or not the damage or destruction can be repaired under applicable laws, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Damage Notice Date. In the event Landlord determines that such repairs to the Building and/or the Premises and/or the Common Areas cannot, in Landlord's good faith judgment, be substantially completed under applicable laws within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Damage Notice Date, then Landlord shall notify Tenant of such determination. In such notice Landlord shall either agree to undertake such repairs (in which event the notice shall include Landlord's estimate of the time required to complete the same) or elect to terminate this Lease. If Landlord agrees to undertake the repairs, but states that the required repairs will not be substantially completed within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Damage Notice Date, Tenant shall have an option, exercisable by written notice thereof delivered to Landlord not later than the thirtieth (30th) day after Landlord's delivery of Landlord's notice that the repairs will not be completed within such one hundred and eighty (180) day period, to terminate this Lease. If neither Landlord nor Tenant exercise a right of termination following Landlord's determination that the repairs will take more than one hundred and eighty (180) days, then Landlord shall diligently undertake to repair such damage or destruction. 10.5 ABATEMENT OF RENT. In the event of reconstruction of the Premises under this Article 10, the Rent otherwise payable under this Lease shall be abated proportionately with the degree to which Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired. Such abatement shall commence on the date of such damage or destruction and continue during the period while Landlord is completing the repairs required of it under this Article 10. Tenant shall continue to operate its business on the Premises during any such abatement period to the extent reasonably practicable from the standpoint of prudent business management. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises, Building or Tenant's personal property, or for any inconvenience or annoyance suffered by reason of damage or destruction thereto, or the reconstruction or replacement thereof. 10.6 RESTRICTIONS ON RESTORATION. If the existing laws do not permit the restoration of the Premises to substantially the condition existing at the time of such damage or destruction, either party may terminate this Lease immediately following receipt of notice that restoration is forbidden, by giving written notice to the other party. 23 10.7 DESTRUCTION WITHIN LAST YEAR OF TERM. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore any portion of the Premises or any portion of the Building the damage occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term or any extension thereof. In the event Landlord elects not to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, or any extension thereof, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord's election to terminate the Lease within thirty (30) days after the date of occurrence of such damage. 10.8 DESTRUCTION OF TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY, TENANT IMPROVEMENTS OR PROPERTY OF TENANT'S EMPLOYEES. It is hereby expressly agreed that Landlord will not be obligated to carry insurance of any kind on Tenant's furniture, furnishings, fixtures, equipment or other personal property (collectively "Personal Property") and in the event of damage or destruction to the Premises or the Building, under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or other cause, or to make any repairs to, or replacements of, Tenant's Personal Property. However, as a part of Direct Expenses, Landlord shall cause to be insured the Tenant Improvements and Alterations which do not constitute Tenant's Personal Property and shall cause such Tenant Improvements and Alterations to be repaired and restored at Landlord's sole cost and expense except that Tenant shall pay for such portion which is covered by the deductible. Landlord shall have no responsibility for any contents placed or kept in or on the Premises or the Building by Tenant or Tenant's emploYees. 10.9 EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES. Notwithstanding any destruction or damage to the Premises, the Building, and/or the Common Areas, Tenant shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Lease, except to the extent and upon the conditions expressly stated in this Article 10. Tenant hereby expressly waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) with respect to any damage or destruction to the Building and/or the Premises and agrees that its rights shall be exclusively governed by the provisions of this Article 10. 10.10 TERMINATION - ADVANCE PAYMENTS AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant to this Article 10, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning advance Rent and any advance payments made by Tenant to Landlord. Landlord shall, in addition, return to Tenant so much of Tenant's Security Deposit as has not been applied by Landlord, as provided for under the terms of this Lease. In the event of termination of this Lease, all proceeds from Tenant's fire and extended coverage insurance under Section 12.1.2 covering the Tenant's Personal Property shall be paid to Tenant. 24 10.11 TERMINATION. Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions of this Article, the parties shall be released thereby, without further obligation to the other, from the date possession of the Premises is surrendered to the Landlord, except for items which have theretofore accrued and are then unpaid, and those obligations, if any, which by the terms of this Lease, survive such termination. ARTICLE 11 - CONDEMNATION 11.1 DEFINITIONS. (i) "Condemnation" or "Taking" means (a) the exercise of any governmental power, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, by a condemnor, and (b) a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any condemnor, either under the threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending; (ii) "Date of Taking" means the date the Condemnor has the right to the possession of the property being condemned; (iii) "Award" means all compensation, sums or anything of value awarded, paid or received on a total or partial Condemnation; and (iv) "Condemnor" means any public or quasi-public authority, or private corporation or individual, having the power of condemnation. 11.2 PARTIES' RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS TO BE GOVERNED BY LEASE.

If the Premises are totally taken by Condemnation during the Term, the Lease shall terminate on the Date of Taking. 11.4 PARTIAL TAKING. 11.4.1 PARTIAL TAKING OF PREMISES. If any portion of the Premises is taken by Condemnation, this Lease shall remain in effect, except that Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease if twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total number of square feet of the floor area in the Premises is taken, and the remainder of the Premises is rendered economically unusable by Tenant. If either party elects to terminate this Lease, that party must exercise its right to terminate pursuant to this Section by giving notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after the nature and the extent of the Taking have been fully determined. If either party elects to terminate this Lease, they shall notify the other party of the date of termination, which date shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days nor later than ninety (90) days after the other party has been notified of the terminating party's election to terminate; except that this Lease shall terminate on the Date of Taking if 25 the Date of Taking falls on a date before the date of termination as designated by the terminating party. If neither party terminates this Lease within the thirty (30) day period, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that Rent shall be reduced as provided below. Furthermore, at Landlord's cost and expense, and as soon as reasonably possible, Landlord will restore the remaining portion of the Premises to a complete unit of like quality and character as existed prior to such Taking. 11.4.2 PARTIAL TAKING OF BUILDING. If more than twenty percent (20%) of the floor area of the Building in which the Premises is located is taken, Landlord may terminate this Lease, at Landlord's option, as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession by delivering written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such Taking (or in the absence of such notice, within thirty (30) days after the Condemnor takes possession). 11.4.3 PARTIAL TAKING OF COMMON AREAS. If any portion of the Common Areas is taken by Condemnation, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect so long as there is no material interference with access to the Premises and/or Tenant's parking facilities. If such a Taking materially interferes with access to the premises and/or Tenant's rights to parking within the parking facilities within the Project, and comparable substitute parking is not made available to Tenant, then either party shall have the election to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Article 11. For purposes of this Section 11.4.3, such a partial Taking of the Common Areas shall be deemed to materially interfere with access to the Premises and/or Tenant's rights to parking within the parking facilities within the project only if twenty five percent (25%) or more of the Common Areas is taken and comparable substitute parking or access to the Premises is not made available to Tenant. 11.4.4 EFFECT ON RENT. If any portion of the Premises is taken by Condemnation and this Lease remains in full force and effect, on the Date of Taking, the Minimum Monthly Rent shall be reduced by an amount which is in the same ratio to Minimum Monthly Rent as the total number of square feet in the Premises taken bears to the total number of square feet in the Premises immediately before the Date of Taking. 11.5 RESTORATION. If there is a partial Taking of the Premises and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect pursuant to this Article 11, Landlord, at its cost, shall accomplish all necessary restoration so that the Premises are returned as near as practical to their condition immediately prior to the Date of Taking. 26 11.6 CONDEMNATION AWARD - DISTRIBUTION. Any Awards paid on account of any Condemnation or Taking of the Building or the Common Area, or any portion or portions thereof, shall belong to and shall be the sole property of Landlord, except that Tenant shall be entitled to receive any Award or portion thereof attributable to the taking of personal property, good will, relocation expenses and/or interests in other than the real properly taken, provided the same does not in any way diminish the Award to Landlord. 11.7 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. In the event this Lease is cancelled or terminated pursuant to any of the provisions of this Article 11, all Rent and other charges payable on the part of Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be paid either as of the date upon which actual physical possession shall be taken by the Condemnor, or as of the date upon which Tenant ceases doing business in, upon or from the Premises, whichever last occurs; and the parties shall thereupon be released from all further liability hereunder, except that Landlord shall make an equitable refund to Tenant of any unearned, unused or unappropriated advance Rent or Security Deposit theretofore paid by Tenant to Landlord and except for items which have heretofore accrued and are then unpaid, and those obligations, if any, which by the terms of this Lease, survive such termination. 11.8 RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS LEASE FOR TAKING. Neither party shall have the right to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial Taking of the Premises, other than as is specifically provided for in this Article 11. Both parties agree that the provisions of this Article 11 shall govern the rights and obligations of the parties in the event of any condemnation of the Premises or the Building, and specifically waive the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 (and any successor provision). ARTICLE 12 - INSURANCE 12.1 INSURANCE MAINTAINED AND PAID BY TENANT. Tenant covenants and agrees that from and after the date of delivery of the Premises from Landlord to Tenant, Tenant will carry and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, in the amounts specified and in the form hereinafter provided for, each of the following types of insurance: 12.1.1 LIABILITY INSURANCE.

All such bodily injury liability insurance and property damage liability insurance shall specifically insure the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreement as to liability for injury to or death of persons and injury or damage to property contained in Section 7.1 of this Lease; however, the limits of said insurance shall not limit the liability of Tenant hereunder. Not more frequently than each two (2) years, if, in the opinion of Landlord's lender or of the insurance broker retained by Landlord, the amount of Commercial General Liability insurance coverage at that time is not adequate, Tenant shall increase the insurance coverage as required by either Landlord's lender or Landlord's insurance broker. 12.1.2 TENANT'S PROPERTY INSURANCE. "All Risk" insurance covering Tenant's personal property, fixtures and equipment from time to time in, on or upon the Premises, in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of their full replacement cost from time to time during the Term, together with insurance against sprinkler damage. Any policy proceeds shall be used for the repair or replacement of the property damaged or destroyed unless this Lease shall cease and terminate under the provisions of Article 10. 12.1.3 WORKERS' COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYER'S LIABILITY INSURANCE. Workers' Compensation Insurance in such amounts as required by applicable California law and Employer's Liability insurance with limits of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per accident. 12.1.4 BUSINESS INTERRUPTION/EXTRA EXPENSE INSURANCE.

Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by Landlord. If Landlord disapproves of the amount of any such deductible or self-insured retention, Landlord may either (i) require Tenant's insurer to reduce or eliminate such deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to Landlord, its officers, employees, partners and agents or (ii) require Tenant to procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses to the extent of any such deductible or self-insured retention. Copies of such policies of insurance or certificates thereof together with original endorsements showing the coverage required herein shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant and thereafter prior to the expiration of the term of each such policy. All liability policies shall contain a provision that Landlord, although named an additional insured, shall nevertheless be entitled to recover under said policies for any loss occasioned to it, its servants, agents and employees by reason of the negligence of Tenant. As often as any such policy shall expire or terminate renewal or additional policies shall be procured and maintained by Tenant in like manner and to like extent.

All liability policies to be maintained by Tenant shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with and in excess of coverage which Landlord may carry. In addition, such policies shall include a waiver by the insurer of any right of subrogation against Landlord, its agents, employees and representatives, which arises or might arise by reason of any payment under such policy or by reason of any act or omission of Landlord, its agents, employees or representatives. No later than ten (10) days prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, copies of all policies or certificates (together with any required endorsements) evidencing the existence of the amounts and forms of coverage satisfactory to Landlord. 12.1.6 BLANKET POLICIES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained within this Section, Tenant's obligations to carry the insurance provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of property insurance carried and maintained by Tenant, provided, however, that Landlord, its officers, employees, partners and agents, and Landlord's mortgagee(s) or beneficiary(ies) shall be named as an additional insured thereunder as their interest may appear, and that the coverage afforded Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee(s) or beneficiary(ies) will not be reduced or diminished by reason of the use of such blanket policy of 29 insurance, and provided further that the requirements set forth herein are otherwise satisfied. Tenant agrees to permit Landlord at all reasonable times to inspect the policies of insurance of Tenant covering risks upon the Premises for which policies or copies thereof are not delivered to Landlord. 12.1.7 TENANT'S FAILURE TO PROCURE INSURANCE. Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not carry and maintain any such insurance required to be carried pursuant to this Lease, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure such insurance on Tenant's behalf and charge Tenant the premiums, together with a ten percent (10%) handling charge, payable upon demand as Additional Rent. 12.2 INSURANCE MAINTAINED BY LANDLORD AND PAID BY BUILDING TENANTS. 12.2.1 LIABILITY INSURANCE. Landlord shall obtain and keep in force during the Term, a policy of combined single limit bodily injury and broad form property damage insurance, plus coverage against such other risks Landlord deems advisable from time to time, insuring Landlord, but not Tenant, against liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Building or the Project, if any, in an amount not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence. 12.2.2 PROPERTY INSURANCE. Landlord shall obtain and keep in force, during the Term, a policy or policies of property insurance covering loss or damage to the Building, the Project, the Tenant Improvements and the Alterations but not Tenant's Personal Property, in an amount determined by Landlord or as required by Landlord's lenders. Such policy or policies of insurance shall provide protection against any and all perils generally included in the "All Risk" classification with earthquake coverage insurance, if required by the first mortgagee, deed of trust trustee or deed of trust beneficiary of Landlord, or by any federal, state, county, city or local authority, together with insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism, malicious mischief, plate glass, and such other perils as Landlord deems advisable or may be required by a lender having a lien on the Building or the Project, if any. In addition, Landlord shall obtain and keep in force, during the Term, a policy of loss of rents insurance, covering Tenant's tenancy, providing for insurance proceeds for a period of one (1) year of Tenant's tenancy, with loss payable to Landlord, which insurance shall also cover all Direct Expenses for said period. Tenant shall not be named in any such policies carried by Landlord and shall have no right to any proceeds therefrom. 12.2.3 COSTS/DEDUCTIBLES. The policies required by Sections 12.2.1 and 12.2.2 shall contain such deductibles as Landlord or Landlord's lenders may determine. The cost of all 30 such policies shall be chargeable to Tenant as a Building Cost. In the event that the Premises shall suffer an insured loss, as defined in Article 10, the deductible amounts under the applicable insurance policies shall also be deemed Building Costs. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies carried by Landlord. Tenant shall pay the entirety of any increase in the property insurance premium for the Building or the Project, if any, over what it was immediately prior to the Commencement Date, if the increase is specified by Landlord's insurance carrier as being caused by the nature of Tenant's occupancy or any act or omission of Tenant. Landlord's obligation to carry the insurance provided for herein may be brought within the coverage of any so-called blanket policy or policies of property insurance carried and maintained by Landlord, provided that the coverage afforded will not be reduced or diminished by reason of the use of such blanket policy of property insurance. 12.3 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Tenant and Landlord (for themselves and their insurers) each hereby releases and relieves the other, and waives its right of recovery against the other, and against the officers, partners, employees, agents and representatives of the other, and against other tenants of the Building (provided such parties and other tenants have waived such rights against Landlord and Tenant), for direct or consequential loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils covered by property insurance carried by such party, whether due to the negligence of Landlord or Tenant, or their agents, employees, contractors and/or invitees, to the extent of such insurance coverage. If necessary, all property insurance policies required under this Lease shall be endorsed to contain this waiver of subrogation provision. 12.4 NO REPRESENTATIONS OF ADEQUATE COVERAGE. Landlord makes no representation that the limits or forms of coverage of insurance specified in this Article 12 are adequate to cover Tenant's property or obligations under this Lease. ARTICLE 13 - LANDLORD'S ENTRY ON PREMISES 13.1 ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord and its authorized representatives shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times for any of the following purposes: (i) to determine whether the Premises are in good condition and whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease; (ii) in case of emergency or to do any necessary maintenance, restoration, repairs or improvements to the Premises, the Building, Common Areas, the Project, or other leasehold premises in the Building that Landlord has the right or obligation to perform; (iii) to serve, post or keep posted any notices required or allowed under the provisions of this Lease; (iv) to post "for rent" or "for lease" signs during the last four (4) months of the 31 Term, or during any period while Tenant is in default; (v) with prior reasonable notice to Tenant, to show the Premises to prospective brokers, agents, buyers, tenants or persons interested in an exchange, mortgagees, workmen or contractors, at any time during the Term; (vi) to shore the foundations, footings and walls of the Premises or the Building in which the Premises are located and to erect scaffolding and protective barricades around and about the Premises, but not so as to prevent entry to the Premises, and to do any other act or thing necessary for the safety or preservation of the Premises or the Building and other improvements in which the Premises are located; and (vii) to remodel the Building. *See Addendum 13.1.1 Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to the Premises, without liability to Tenant. Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not, under any circumstances, be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry to, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof. Landlord shall conduct its activities on the Premises as allowed in this Section in a manner that will cause the least possible inconvenience, annoyance or disturbance to Tenant. Except in cases of emergency, when the Tenant has abandoned or surrendered the Premises, or if it is impracticable to do so, the Landlord shall give the Tenant reasonable notice and enter only during normal business hours. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord such licenses or easements in and over the Premises or any portion thereof as shall be reasonably required for the installation or maintenance of mains, conduits, pipes or other facilities to serve the Building or any part thereof, including, but not by way of limitation, the Premises of any occupant; provided, however, that Landlord shall pay for any alteration required on the Premises as a result of any such exercise, occupancy under, or enjoyment of any such license or easement. *See Addendum 13.2 NO ABATEMENT OF RENT. Except as specifically provided in Section 4.7 above, Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance or other damage arising out of Landlord's entry on the Premises as provided in this Section, except damage resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized representatives, but only to the extent such damage is not covered by insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement or reduction of Rent if Landlord exercises any rights reserved in this Section, so long as such activity does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of Tenant's business in the Premises. ARTICLE 14 - RULES AND REGULATIONS 32 Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the "Rules and Regulations," attached hereto as EXHIBIT E and all reasonable and nondiscriminatory modifications and additions thereto. However, Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the violation or nonperformance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building of any of the Rules and Regulations, but shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the Rules and Regulations in a nondiscriminatory manner. The Rules and Regulations are in addition to, and shall not be construed to in any way modify or amend, in whole or in part, the terms, covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease. Tenant shall be responsible for the observance of all of the Rules and Regulations by Tenant's employees, agents, clients, customers, invitees and guests. ARTICLE 15 - RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER 15.1 LANDLORD'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Tenant shall not, voluntarily or involuntarily, because of death, divorce, disability, or by operation of law or otherwise, assign, pledge, hypothecate or encumber its interest in this Lease or the Premises or sublease all or any portion of the Premises, or allow any other person or entity to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises (collectively "Transfer"), without first obtaining Landlord's prior written consent. Any Transfer without such consent, shall be void and, at the option of Landlord, shall terminate this Lease. Any consent to any Transfer which may be given by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of the provisions of this Article 15 or a release of Tenant from the full performance by it of the covenants herein contained. If Tenant is a partnership, a transfer of any interest of a general partner, a withdrawal of any general partner from the partnership, or the merger or dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed to be a Transfer. If Tenant is a corporation, unless Tenant is a public corporation whose stock is regularly traded on a national stock exchange, or is regularly traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted on NASDAQ, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant or sale or other transfer of a percentage of capital stock of Tenant which results in a change of controlling persons, or the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, shall be deemed to be a Transfer. For purposes of this Article 15, the term "Transferee" includes without limitation, assignees, subtenants, or any other party who acquires an interest in the Premises or this Lease by way of pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance. *See Addendum 15.2 TRANSFER NOTICE. Tenant shall give Landlord at least sixty (60) days advance written notice ("Transfer Notice"), of its desire to proceed with a Transfer and shall submit in writing to Landlord (i) the name of the proposed transferee, (ii) in detail, the nature of the proposed transferee's business to be 33 carried on in the Premises, (iii) whether Tenant proposes to assign the Lease, sublet the Premises or change ownership, (iv) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, (v) all the material terms and conditions of the Transfer, (vi) financial statements, income statements and balance sheets for the two (2) most recent completed fiscal or calendar years of the proposed transferee, and (vii) a bank reference. The Transfer Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the proposed agreement documenting the Transfer, or if none, a copy of any offers, draft agreements, letters of commitment or intent, and other documents pertaining to the proposed Transfer. Thereafter, Tenant shall furnish such supplemental information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning the proposed transferee. 15.3 LANDLORD'S ELECTION. At any time within fifteen (15) working days after Landlord's receipt of the information specified above, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, elect to (i) consent to the Transfer, or (ii) reasonably disapprove of the Transfer, setting forth in writing Landlord's grounds for doing so. Such grounds for disapproval may include, without limitation, nonsuitability of the proposed use for the Premises and/or the Building, violation of landlord's third-party agreements, including loan documents and non-competition covenants of Landlord respecting radius, locations, use or exclusivity in any other lease, financing agreement or other agreement relating to the Building or Landlord's other buildings in the immediate area, need for alteration of the Premises, an inappropriate use in light of the Building's existing tenant mix, a material increase in the impact upon the Common Areas or the parking facilities, a material increase in the demands upon utilities and services, the proposed use of the Premises conflicts with Tenant's use clause, a possible material adverse effect upon the reputation of the Premises or the Building from the nature of the business to be conducted, or a reputation for financial reliability on the part of the proposed transferee which is unsatisfactory in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, that Tenant is in default of its obligations under this Lease or that Landlord has not received assurances acceptable to Landlord that all past due amounts owing from Tenant to Landlord will be paid and all other defaults by Tenant will be cured prior to the effective date of the proposed Transfer. If Landlord consents to the Transfer within the fifteen (15) day period, Tenant may thereafter enter into such Transfer agreement upon the terms and conditions and as of the effective date set forth in the information furnished by Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord consents to the Transfer and Tenant does not consummate the Transfer within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's decision, the provisions of this Article 15 shall once again apply. *See Addendum 15.4 ASSUMPTION OF LEASE OBLIGATIONS. Each permitted transferee, other than Landlord, shall assume and be deemed to 34 have assumed this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of Rent and for the due performance or satisfaction of all of the provisions, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant's part to be performed or satisfied. No Transfer shall be binding on Landlord unless such transferee or Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a counterpart original of the instrument evidencing such Transfer which contains a covenant of assumption by the transferee, but the failure or refusal of the transferee to execute such instrument of assumption shall not release or discharge the transferee or the Tenant from its liability as set forth herein. Any permitted Transfer shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Tenant under the terms of this Lease, even if after such Transfer the terms of this Lease are materially changed or altered without the consent of Tenant, the consent of whom shall not be necessary. 15.5 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS REGARDING TRANSFERS. Landlord may accept Rent from any person other than Tenant, pending approval or disapproval of a Transfer. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such Transfer, nor the acceptance of Rent, shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of Landlord's right to exercise its remedies for the breach of any of the terms or conditions of this Article 15 or this Lease. If Tenant's obligations under this Lease have been guaranteed by third parties, then any Transfer, and Landlord's consent thereto, shall not be effective unless said guarantors give their written consent to such Transfer. Furthermore, Landlord may consent to subsequent Transfers or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Tenant or anyone else liable on the Lease, and without obtaining their consent, and such action shall not release such persons from liability under this Lease; however, such persons shall not be responsible to the extent any such amendment or modification enlarges or increases the obligations of the Tenant or transferee under this Lease. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant, any guarantors or anyone else responsible for the performance of this Lease, including the transferee, without first exhausting Landlord's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Landlord, or any security held by Landlord or Tenant. Landlord's written consent to any Transfer by Tenant shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no Event of Default then exists under this Lease, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Event of Default, except as may be otherwise acknowledged by Landlord at that time. The discovery of the fact that any financial statement relied upon by Landlord in giving its consent to a Transfer was materially false shall, at Landlord's election, render Landlord's consent null and void. Any sums or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of a Transfer, however denominated, which exceed, in the aggregate, (i) the total sums which Tenant is obligated to pay 35 Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to any portion of the Premises subleased), plus (ii) the unamortized value of leasehold improvements to the Premises paid for by Tenant, depreciated on a straight-line basis over the Term, shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent under this Lease without affecting or reducing any other obligations of Tenant hereunder. In the event of any approved Transfer of this Lease in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant used in connection with the conduct of Tenant's business on the Premises, the amount of consideration attributable to the Transfer of the Lease shall be reasonably determined by Landlord. 15.5.1 Tenant shall only use such form of assignment as is provided by landlord, and once the completed assignment form has been approved by Landlord, such assignment shall not be changed or modified without Landlord's prior written consent. 15.6 SPECIAL PROVISIONS REGARDING SUBLETTING. Regardless of Landlord's consent, the following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises, and shall be deemed included in all subleases under this Lease, whether or not expressly incorporated therein: 15.6.1 Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant's obligations under this Lease, all Rent from any subletting of all or a part of the Premises as permitted by this Lease, and Landlord, as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord's application, may collect such Rent and apply it toward Tenant's obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to collect such Rent. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any such sublessee, upon receipt of written notice from Landlord stating that an Event of Default exists, to pay to Landlord the Rents due and to become due under the sublease. Tenant agrees that such sublessee shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from Landlord, and that such sublessee shall pay such Rents to Landlord without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists, and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Tenant to the contrary. Tenant shall have no right or claim against said sublessee or Landlord for any such Rents so paid by said sublessee to Landlord. 15.6.2 Tenant shall use only such form of sublease as is provided by Landlord, and once the completed sublease form has been approved by Landlord, the sublease shall not be changed or modified without Landlord's prior written consent. 15.6.3 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord, at its option and without any 36 obligation to do so, may require any sublessee to attorn to Landlord, in which event Landlord shall undertake the obligations of Tenant under such sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to the termination of such sublease; provided, however, Landlord shall not be liable for any prepaid Rent or Security Deposit paid by such sublessee to Tenant, or for any other prior defaults of Tenant under such sublease. 15.6.4 With respect to any subletting to which Landlord has consented, Landlord agrees to deliver a copy of any notice of default by Tenant to the sublessee. 15.7 NO MERGER. No merger shall result from Tenant's sublease of the Premises under this Article 15, Tenant's surrender of this Lease, or the termination of this Lease in any other manner. In any such event, Landlord may terminate any or all subtenancies or succeed to the interest of Tenant as sublandlord thereunder. 15.8 CONDITIONS DEEMED REASONABLE. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that each of the rights of Landlord set forth in this Article 15 above in the event of a proposed Transfer is a reasonable restriction on Transfer for purposes of California Civil Code Section 1951.4. 15.9 TENANT'S REMEDY. *See Addendum 15.10 CONTINUING LIABILITY OF TENANT. If Tenant's transferee defaults pursuant to this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without pursuing remedies against the transferee. Tenant agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless with respect to all costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees expended by Landlord in connection therewith) and liability for compensation claimed by any broker or agent in connection therewith any Transfer of Tenant's interest pursuant to this Lease. ARTICLE 16 - DEFAULT 16.1 COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Tenant's performance of each of Tenant's obligations under this Lease is a condition as well as a covenant. Tenant's right to continue in possession of the Premises is conditioned upon such performance. Time is of the essence in the Performance of all covenants and conditions. 16.2 DEFAULTS. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events ("Event of Default") shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant: (i) use of the Premises for any purpose other than the Permitted Use; (ii) the failure by Tenant to make any payment of Minimum Monthly Rent, Additional Rent, or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for 37 a period of * after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161; (iii) Tenant's abandonment of the Premises as defined in California Civil Code Section 1951.3; (iv) transfer of the Lease by Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, whether by judgment, execution, death or other means, without the prior written consent of Landlord; (v) either (a) the making by Tenant of any general arrangement or general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (b) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within thirty (30) days); (c) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or c f Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (d) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days. In the event that any provisions of this subparagraph (v) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force or effect; (vi) the failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure shall continue for a period of * after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161; provided, further, that if the nature of Tenant's default is such that more than * are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said * day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, which completion shall occur not later than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice from Landlord; or (vii) the discovery by Landlord that any financial statement given to Landlord by Tenant, or its successors in interest, or by any guarantor of Tenant's obligation hereunder, was materially false. *See Addendum ARTICLE 17 - REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT 17.1 LANDLORD REMEDIES. Landlord shall have the following remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default. These remedies are not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any remedies now or later allowed by law. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand (except for any notice required by Article 16 above) and without limiting Landlord in the exercise 38 of any right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such Event of Default, do any of the following: 17.1.1 Continue this Lease in effect so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession and Landlord may enforce all of its rights and remedies hereunder, including, at the option of Landlord: (i) the right to declare the Term ended and with process of law to re-enter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons therefrom, and Tenant shall have no further claim thereon or thereunder; or (ii) the right, without declaring this Lease ended and with or without process of law, to re-enter the Premises, take possession thereof, remove all persons therefrom and occupy or lease the whole or any part thereof for and on account of Tenant and upon such terms and conditions and for such Rent as Landlord may deem proper and to collect said Rent or any other Rent that may thereafter become payable and apply the same toward the amount due or thereafter to become due from Tenant and on account of such expenses of such subletting and any other damages sustained by Landlord; and should such Rent be less than that herein agreed to be paid by Tenant, Tenant agrees to pay such deficiency to Landlord in advance on the day of each month hereinabove specified for payment of Rent and to pay to Landlord forthwith upon such reletting the costs and expenses Landlord may incur by reason thereof; or (iii) the right, even though it may have relet said Premises or brought an action to collect Rent and other charges without terminating this Lease, to thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and all of the rights of Tenant in or to the Premises; or (iv) the right, without terminating this Lease, to bring an action or actions to collect Rent and other charges hereunder which are from time to time past due and unpaid; it being understood that the bringing of such an action or actions shall not terminate this Lease unless notice of termination is given. 17.1.2 Should Landlord relet the Premises under the provisions of paragraph 17.1.1.(ii) above, it may execute any such Lease in its own name or in the name of Tenant, but Tenant hereunder shall have no right or authority whatever to collect any Rent from such tenant. The proceeds of any such reletting shall be first applied to the payment of the costs and expenses of reletting the Premises, including alterations and repairs which Landlord, in its sole discretion, deems reasonably necessary and advisable and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the retaking of said Premises and such reletting and, second, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than Rent, due hereunder, including, without limitation, storage charges or brokerage commissions owing from Tenant to Landlord. When such costs and expenses of reletting have been paid, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit for the net amount of Rent received from such reletting each month during such unexpired balance of the Term and Tenant shall pay Landlord such 39 sums as may be required to make up the Rent provided for in this Lease. Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease, the Tenant's right to possession of the leasehold or the liability of Tenant to pay Rent thereafter to accrue or its liability for damages under any of the provisions hereof by any such reentry or by any action in unlawful detainer or otherwise to obtain possession of the Premises, unless Landlord shall have notified Tenant in writing that it has so elected to terminate this Lease. Tenant covenants that the service by Landlord of any notice pursuant to the unlawful detainer statutes of the State of California and the surrender of possession pursuant to such notice shall not (unless Landlord elects to the contrary at the time of or at any time subsequent to the service of such notice and such election be evidenced by a written notice to Tenant) be deemed to be a termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right to possession thereof. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as obligating Landlord to relet the whole or any part of the Premises. 17.1.3 Landlord can terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises at any time. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession. On termination, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant: (i) the worth, at the time of the award, of the unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time of termination of this Lease; (ii) the worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of this Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount, including court costs and attorney's fees, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's default or defaults, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in (a) retaking possession of the Premises, including reasonable attorneys' fees therefore, (b) maintaining or preserving the Premises after such default, (c) preparing the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including repairs or alterations to the Premises for such reletting, (d) leasing commissions, or (e) any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises. "The worth, at the time of award," as used in (i) and (ii) of this Section, is to be computed by allowing interest at the maximum legal rate. "The worth, at the time of the award," as referred to in (iii) of this Section, is to be computed by 40 discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus 1%. 17.1.4 Whenever Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as provided in this Article, Landlord may remove any property of Tenant from the Premises and store same elsewhere at the expense and for the account of Tenant, and if Tenant shall fail to pay the cost of storing of such property after it has been stored for a period of ninety (90) days or more, Landlord may sell any or all of such property, in any lawful manner. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all of Tenant's fixtures, furniture, equipment, improvements, additions, alterations and other personal property shall remain on the Premises, and in that event, and continuing during the length of said default, Landlord shall have the right to take the exclusive possession of said and to use same, Rent or charge free, until all defaults are cured or, at its option, at any time during the Term, to require Tenant to forthwith remove same. 17.1.5 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right to have a receiver appointed to collect Rent and conduct Tenant's business. Tenant also hereby agrees that Landlord shall have a lien for payment for all Rent and Additional Rent called for under the terms of this Lease upon all the furniture, furnishings, fixtures, supplies and all other personal property of Tenant which may be in or upon the Premises, Tenant hereby specifically waiving any and all exemptions allowed by law. Such lien may be enforced in any lawful manner, at the option of Landlord. Neither the filing of a petition for the appointment of a receiver nor the appointment itself shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease. 17.1.6 Landlord, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, can cure the default at Tenant's cost. If Landlord at any time, by reason of an Event of Default, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Landlord shall be due immediately from Tenant to Landlord at the time the sum is paid, and if paid at a later date shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant. 17.1.7 Nothing in this Article 17 affects the right of the Landlord under this Lease to indemnification for liability arising prior to the termination of the Lease for personal injuries or property damage, as set forth under Article 7 hereof. 17.2 JURY TRIAL WAIVER. *See Addendum ARTICLE 18 - PROTECTION OF LENDERS AND TRANSFEREES 18.1 SUBORDINATION. Landlord shall have the right to subordinate this Lease, and Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, 41 subordinate its rights under this Lease, to any existing or future ground lease, covenants, conditions and restrictions, easements, rights of way or any construction, operation and reciprocal easement agreements, deeds of trust or mortgages encumbering the Premises, any advances made on the security thereof and any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof, whenever made or recorded. However, Tenant's right to quiet possession of the Premises during the Term shall not be disturbed if Tenant pays the Rent and performs all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and is not otherwise in default. If any ground lessor, beneficiary or mortgagee elects to have this Lease prior to the lien of its ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage, and gives written notice thereof to Tenant, then this Lease shall be deemed prior to such ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said ground lease, deed of trust or mortgage or the date of recording thereof. *See Addendum 18.2 ATTORNMENT. If Landlord's interest in the Premises is acquired by any ground lessor, beneficiary under a deed of trust, mortgagee or purchaser at a foreclosure sale, Tenant shall attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord's interest in the Premises and recognize such transferee of or successor as Landlord under this Lease, provided that the purchaser or lessor shall acquire and accept the Premises subject to this Lease. Tenant waives the protection of any statute or rule of law which gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Premises upon the transfer of Landlord's interest. 18.3 SIGNING OF DOCUMENTS. Tenant shall sign and deliver any instrument or documents necessary or appropriate to evidence any such attornment or subordination or agreement to do so provided that such interests or documents recognize that Tenant's right to quiet possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default of its obligations pursuant to this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period. If Tenant fails to do so within ten (10) days after written request, Tenant hereby makes, constitutes and irrevocable appoints Landlord, or any transferee or successor of Landlord, the attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver any such instrument or document. 18.4 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Upon Landlord's written request, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement certifying: (i) that none of the terms or provisions of this Lease have been changed (or if they have been changed, stating how they have been changed); (ii) that this Lease has not been cancelled or terminated; (iii) the last date of payment of the Minimum Monthly Rent and other charges and the time period covered by such payment; (iv) the amount of any 42 Minimum Monthly Rent or other charges which have been paid in advance; (v) the commencement and termination dates of the Term; (vi) that there has been no Transfer by Tenant of this Lease, or any interest therein; and (vii) that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder and that Tenant has no right of offset, counterclaim or deduction against Rent, or specifying such defaults, if any are claimed, together with the amount of any offset, counterclaim or deduction alleged by Tenant. Tenant shall deliver such statement to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord's written request. Any such statement by Tenant may be given by Landlord to any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises. Such purchaser or encumbrancer may rely conclusively upon such statement as true and correct. If Tenant does not deliver such statement to Landlord within such ten (10) day period, Landlord, and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (i) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (ii) that this Lease has not been cancelled or terminated except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (iii) Landlord's statement of the last date of payment of the Minimum Monthly Rent and other charges and the time period covered by such payment or payments; (iv) that not more than one month's Minimum Monthly Rent or other charges have been paid in advance; (v) the commencement and termination dates of the Term are as represented by Landlord; (vi) that there is no Transfer by Tenant of this Lease or any interest therein; and (vii) that Landlord is not in default under the Lease. In such event, Tenant shall be estopped from denying the truth of such facts. 18.5 TENANT'S FINANCIAL CONDITION. Within ten (10) days after written request from Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord such financial statements as are reasonably required by Landlord to verify the net worth of Tenant, or any assignee, subtenant, or guarantor of Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall deliver to any lender designated by Landlord any financial statements required by such lender to facilitate the financing or refinancing of the Premises. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that each such financial statement is a true and accurate statement as of the date of such statement. All financial statements shall be confidential and shall be used only for the purposes set forth herein. ARTICLE 19 - COMMON AREAS 19.1 COMMON AREAS. "Common Areas" shall mean all areas within and around the Building, and the Project, if any, which are available for the common use of tenants of the Building and which are not leased or held for the exclusive use of Tenant or other tenants, including, but not limited to, parking areas, 43 driveways, sidewalks, loading areas, access roads, corridors, landscaping and planted areas, stairways, arcades, elevators, escalators, directory equipment, restrooms, common entrances, lobbies, passageways and serviceways therefor, and the common pipes, conduits, wires and appurtenant equipment serving the Building.

Tenant acknowledges that such activities may result in decreasing Common Area land and/or facilities, and that such activities may result in occasional inconvenience to Tenant. Landlord shall be responsible for keeping the Common Areas in a neat, clean and orderly condition, properly lighted and landscaped, and shall repair any damage to Common Area facilities. Notwithstanding Landlord's responsibility for such Common Area maintenance, all expenses incurred in connection with the operation, repair, cleaning and maintenance of the Common Areas shall be included in Direct Expenses and charged and prorated in the manner set forth in Article 4 of this Lease. 19.2 USE OF COMMON AREAS. Landlord or such other person(s) as Landlord may appoint shall have the exclusive control and management of the Common Areas. Tenant, and its employees and invites, shall have the nonexclusive right (in common with other tenants and all others to whom Landlord has granted or may grant such rights) to use the Common Areas for the purposes intended, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may establish from time to time. Tenant shall abide by such rules and regulations and shall use its best efforts to cause others who use the Common Areas with Tenant's express or implied permission to abide by Landlord's rules and regulations. Notice of such rules and regulations will be posted or given to Tenant. Tenant shall pay for any increase in the property insurance premiums for the Common Areas caused by Tenant's acts, omissions, use or occupancy of the Premises. Tenant shall not, at any time, interfere with the rights of Landlord, other tenants or any other person entitled to use the Common Areas. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant or Tenant's employees, agents or invites, for the noncompliance of other tenants with Landlord's rules and regulations or the interference with the rights of Tenant by other tenants, their agents, employees or invites. Landlord reserves the right from time to time without unreasonable interference with Tenant's use: (i) to install, use, maintain, repair and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment for service to other parts of the Building or Common Areas above the ceiling surfaces, below the floor surfaces, within the walls and in the central core areas, and to 44 relocate any pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment included in the Premises which are located in the Premises or located elsewhere outside the Premises, and to expand the Building; To make changes to the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in the location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas and walkways; provided, however, Landlord shall at all times provide the parking facilities required by applicable law. Landlord also reserves the right to modify the lobbies, windows, stairways, air shafts, elevators and restrooms; (ii) to close temporarily any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes so long as reasonable access to the Premises remains available; (iii) to designate other land and improvements outside the boundaries of the Building or the Project, if any, to be part of the Common Areas, provided that such other land and improvements have a reasonable and functional relationship to the Building or the Project; (iv) to use the Common Areas while engaged in making additional improvements, repairs or alterations to the Building, or any portion thereof; and (v) to do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in, to or with respect to the Common Areas and Building as Landlord may, in the exercise of sound business judgment, deem to be appropriate. 19.3 VEHICLE PARKING. Tenant, its employees and concessionaires shall not park in the areas which the Landlord may designate or redesignate as parking for patrons of the Building. Landlord shall provide either within the Building parking area or reasonably close thereto, space for employee parking, if such parking space is available, as reasonably determined by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to designate parking areas for use by Tenant's employees and concessionaires and such designation may be changed from time to time. Tenant, its employees and concessionaires shall park their cars only in such designated areas, if any are so designated. Said parking spaces shall be used only for parking by vehicles no larger than normal size passenger automobiles or pick-up trucks, or if so designated, for smaller vehicles. There shall be no overnight parking in parking areas provided by Landlord without Landlord's prior written consent. If Tenant permits or allows any of the prohibited activities described in Section 19.3 of this Lease, then Landlord shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge the cost to Tenant, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand by Landlord. Landlord reserves the right at any time to substitute an equivalent number of parking spaces in a parking structure or subterranean parking facility or in a surface parking area within a reasonable distance of the Premises. 45 19.3.1 If the parking facilities provide for automated card key access, Landlord shall have the right to charge Tenant a security deposit in the amount of $25.00 for each parking card key requested by Tenant. Landlord may assign any unreserved and unassigned parking spaces and/or make all or a portion of such spaces reserved, if it determines in its sole discretion that is necessary for orderly and efficient parking. Tenant shall not use more parking spaces than the number set forth in the Fundamental Lease Provisions. Tenant shall not permit or allow any vehicles that belong to or are controlled by Tenant or Tenant's employees, suppliers, shippers, customers or invites to be loaded, unloaded or parked in areas other than those designated by Landlord for such activities. Tenant agrees that Landlord assumes no responsibility of any kind whatsoever in reference to said automobile parking facilities or the use thereof by Tenant, its employees, agents or invites, or by anyone else. Landlord may, at its sole discretion, determine whether parking facilities shall be surface, underground, multideck, and where they shall be located. Landlord may, at any time, and from time to time, limit access to the parking facilities by means of attendants and/or other devices, and make other changes in the layout and operation of the parking facilities, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, changes in locations of entrances, exits and parking spaces. No delay or failure by Landlord to enforce its parking rules and regulations or its o her rights hereunder, and no waiver by Landlord of any breach thereof, shall be deemed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach, or prevent any subsequent or other enforcement thereof by T Landlord. *See Addendum ARTICLE 20 - PROFESSIONAL COSTS; CONSENTS 20.1 LEGAL COSTS. If either party incurs any costs or expenses in connection with any action instituted by either party by reason of any dispute pursuant to this Lease or for the recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any provisions of this Lease by either party, or for any other relief pursuant to this Lease, or in the event of any other litigation between the parties with respect to this Lease, then all costs and expenses, including without limitation, its actual professional fees such as appraisers', accountants, and attorneys' fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement of such action or dispute and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment. The provisions contained in this Section 20.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and in the event any action or proceeding is instituted to recover possession of the Premises following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, the provisions contained in this Section 20.1 shall be applicable. *See Addendum 46 20.2 LANDLORD'S CONSENT. Tenant shall pay all attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant's request for Landlord's consent under Article 15 (Restrictions On Transfer), or in connection with any other act which Tenant proposes to do and which requires Landlord's consent, whether or not such consent i, granted. Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for all costs, including, without limitation, engineering and architect fees it incurs in reviewing any remodeling, tenant improvement plans or other requests submitted by Tenant, whether or not consent or approval is granted. ARTICLE 21 - SIGNS Tenant shall not place, erect or maintain any sign in or upon the Premises which is visible from the exterior thereof or in or upon the Building or the Project without Landlord's prior written consent and without compliance with the provisions of Exhibit F. ARTICLE 22 - LANDLORD'S BREACH - NOTICE If Landlord fails to perform any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (or if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, if Landlord does not commence to cure the failure within that 30-day period), then such failure shall constitute a default hereunder and Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for any damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord's default; provided, however, it is expressly understood and agreed that if Tenant obtains a money judgment against Landlord resulting from any default or other claim arising under this Lease, judgment shall be satisfied only out of the rents, issues, profits and other income actually received on account of Landlord's right, title and interest in the Premises or Building, and no other real, personal or mixed property of Landlord (or of the officers, shareholders, directors, partners or principals of Landlord, if any) wherever situated, shall be subject to levy, attachment or execution, or otherwise used to satisfy any such judgment. Tenant hereby waives any right to satisfy a judgment against Landlord except from the rents, issues, profits and other income actually received on account of Landlord's right, title and interest in the Premises or Building. Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or to withhold, reduce or offset any amount against any payments of Rent or any other charges due and payable under this Lease, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. Tenant agrees to send, by certified or registered mail to any mortgagee or deed of trust beneficiary of the Building whose address has been furnished to Tenant, a copy of any notice of default served by Tenant on Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure 47 such default within the time provided for in this Lease, such mortgagee or beneficiary shall have an additional thirty (30) days to cure such default; provided that if such default cannot reasonably be cured within that thirty (30) day period, then such mortgagee or beneficiary shall have such additional time to cure the default as is reasonably necessary under the circumstances. ARTICLE 23 - LATE CHARGES Tenant's failure to pay Rent promptly may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs, the exact amount of which are impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering the property. Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any Rent payment, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to the greater of One Hundred Dollars ($100), or ten percent (10%) of the overdue amount. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate at the date of this Lease of the administrative costs Landlord shall incur by reason of such late payment. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon written notice thereof, all costs incurred by Landlord for attorneys' fees in connection with the collection of such Minimum Monthly Rent or Additional Rent. *See Addendum. Anything to the contrary in this Lease notwithstanding, Tenant hereby agrees that if it fails to pay Minimum Monthly Rent, Additional Rent or any other monetary obligation which Tenant is required to pay under this Lease when due, for any two (2) consecutive months, or for any three (3) months in a calendar year, Minimum Monthly Rent for the remaining Term shall automatically be adjusted to be quarterly Rent, payable in advance, by cashier's check, commencing upon the first day of the month following such consecutive late month, or the third late month in a calendar year, and continuing thereafter for the remaining Term. Time is strictly of the essence with respect to the provisions of this paragraph. ARTICLE 24 - INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS Any and all amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord which are not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the due date of such amount ("Interest Rate"). However, interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Tenant. The payment of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. If the Interest Rate is higher than the rate permitted by law, the Interest Rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate an individual is permitted to charge by law. ARTICLE 25- BUILDING PLANNING 48 *See Addendum Landlord reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant such easements, rights and dedications that Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights, dedications, maps and restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by the Tenant. Tenant shall sign any of the aforementioned documents upon request of Landlord. If Tenant fails to do so within ten (10) days after written request, Tenant hereby makes, constitutes and irrevocably appoints Landlord, or any transferee or successor of Landlord, the attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver any such instrument or document. ARTICLE 26- NOTICES All notices required or permitted under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, by nationally or locally recognized overnight or same day delivery service which provides for acknowledgement of delivery (i.e., Federal Express) or by telefacsimile ("FAX") machine capable of confirming transmission and receipt. Notices to Landlord and Tenant shall be delivered to the address set forth in Section 1.9 above. Either party may change its notice address upon written notice to the other party, except that Landlord may in any event use the Premises as Tenant's address for notice purposes after the Commencement Date. A copy of all notices required or permitted to be given to Landlord hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at such addresses as Landlord may, from time to time, hereafter designate by notice to Tenant. ARTICLE 27- MODIFICATION FOR LENDER If, in connection with obtaining construction, interim or permanent financing or refinancing for the Building, Landlord's lender shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially and adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created or Tenant's rights hereunder. ARTICLE 28- CORPORATE AUTHORITY; PARTNERSHIP AUTHORITY If Tenant is a corporation, each person signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represents and warrants that he has full authority to do so and that this Lease binds the corporation. Concurrently with the signature of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certified copy of a 49 resolution of Tenant's Board of Directors authorizing the execution of this Lease or other evidence of such authority reasonably acceptable to Landlord. If Tenant is a partnership, each person signing this Lease for Tenant represents and warrants that he is a general partner of the partnership, that he has full authority to sign for the partnership and that this Lease binds the partnership. Concurrently with Tenant's signature of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of Tenant's recorded statement of partnership or certificate of limited partnership. ARTICLE 29 - FORCE MAJEURE The period for performance of any obligation by either party shall be extended (except for Tenant's obligations to pay Minimum Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other charges due pursuant to this Lease, which obligations shall NOT be extended) by the period of any delay in performance caused by an act of God, labor strike, adverse weather conditions, shortage of materials, war, invasion, acts of a public enemy, governmental preemption in connection with a national emergency, riot, laws, rules, regulations or order of governmental or military authorities, or failure or defect in the supply, quantity or character of utilities furnished to the Building or Premises (collectively "Force Majeure Event"), excluding from all the foregoing, financial inability. ARTICLE 30 - BROKERS The parties recognize that the brokers who negotiated this Lease are the brokers whose names are stated in Section 1.13 of the Fundamental Lease Provisions, and agree that Landlord shall be solely responsible for the payment of brokerage commissions to said brokers, and that Tenant shall have no responsibility therefor. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that to Tenant's knowledge no other broker, agent or finder negotiated or was instrumental in negotiating or consummating this Lease, and that Tenant knows of no other real estate broker, agent or finder who is, or might be, entitled to a commission or compensation in connection with this Lease. Any broker, agent or finder of Tenant whom Tenant has failed to disclose herein shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from all damages and indemnify Landlord for all said damages paid or incurred by Landlord resulting from any claims that may be asserted against Landlord by any broker, agent or finder undisclosed by Tenant herein. *See Addendum ARTICLE 31 - SECURITY MEASURES Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide guard service or other security measures for the benefit of the Premises, Building, Common Areas 50 or the Project. Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection of Tenant, its agents, employees and invitees, and the property of Tenant, of the Tenant's agents, employees and invitees from the acts of third parties. However, nothing herein contained shall prevent Landlord, at Landlord's option, from providing security protection for the Building or the Project, or any part thereof, in which event the cost thereof shall be included within the definition of Direct Expenses. ARTICLE 32 - LANDLORD'S RESERVATIONS Landlord shall have the following rights: (i) to change the name, address or title of the Building or the Project; (ii) to permit any tenant the exclusive right to conduct any business, as long as such exclusive right does not conflict with any rights expressly given to Tenant herein; and (iii) to place such signs, notices or displays as Landlord reasonably deems necessary or advisable upon the roof, exterior of the Building or the Project, if any, or on pole signs in the Common Areas. Landlord further reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Building as Landlord, in its sole business judgment, determines best promotes the interests of the Building. Landlord does not represent, and Tenant does not rely on the possibility, that any specific tenant or number of tenants will occupy space in the Building during the Term. ARTICLE 33 - MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 33.1 WAIVER. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord or Tenant shall impair such a right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent Rent shall not constitute a waiver of any other default. No act or conduct of Landlord, including, without limitation, the acceptance of the keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only a written notice from Landlord to Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of the Lease. Landlord's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord's consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. Any waiver by Landlord of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of the Lease. 33.2 IDENTIFICATION OF TENANT. If more than one person executes this Lease as Tenant, (a) each of them is jointly and severally liable for the keeping, observing and performing of all of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements of this Lease to be kept, observed and performed by Tenant, and (b) the term "Tenant" as used in this Lease shall mean and include 51 each of them jointly and severally and the act of or notice from, or notice or refund to, or the signature of, any one or more of them, with respect to the tenancy of this Lease, including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension, expiration, termination or modification of this Lease, shall be binding upon each and all of the persons executing this Lease as Tenant with the same force and effect as if each and all of them had so acted or so given or received such notice or refund or so signed. The term "Tenant" shall include legal representatives, successors and assigns. 33.3 IDENTIFICATION OF LANDLORD. The term "Landlord" as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee of the Premises, and in the event of any transfer, assignment or other conveyance or transfers of any such title or leasehold, the Landlord hereunder named (and in case of any subsequent transfer or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer, assignment or conveyance of all liability as respect the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed and, without further agreement, the transferee of such title shall be deemed to have assumed and agreed to observe and perform any and all obligations of the Landlord hereunder, during its ownership of the Premises. Landlord may transfer its interest in the Premises without the consent of Tenant, and such transfer or subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a violation on Landlord's part of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease. 33.4 BINDING EFFECT. Each and all of the covenants, conditions and restrictions in this Lease shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors in interest of Landlord, and subject to the provisions of Article 15, authorized encumbrances, assignees, transferees, subtenants, licensees, and other successors in interest of Tenant. 33.5 NON-DISCRIMINATION. Tenant covenants and agrees, and it is a condition to the continuance of this Lease, that there will be no discrimination against, or segregation of, any person or group of persons on the basis of race, color, sex, creed, national origin or ancestry, in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, occupancy, tenure or use of the Premises or any portion thereof. 33.6 CONFLICT OF LAWS AND CHOICE OF JURISDICTION. This Lease shall be governed by and construed pursuant to the laws of the State of California. Any litigation concerning this Lease between the parties hereto shall be initiated in the California court having jurisdiction over the area where the Building is located. 52 33.7 SEVERABILITY. A determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision of this Lease or any part thereof is illegal or unenforceable shall not cancel or invalidate the remainder of such provision or this Lease, which shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of the parties hereto that if any provision of this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which would render the provision void and the other of which would render the provision valid, then the provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid. 33.8 INTERPRETATION. The captions of the articles and sections of this Lease are to assist the parties in reading this Lease and are not a part of the terms or provisions of this Lease. Whenever required by the context of this Lease, the singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular. The masculine, feminine and neuter genders shall each include the other. The word "person" shall include corporations, firms, partnerships or associations. In any provision relating to the conduct, acts or omissions of Tenant, the term "Tenant" shall include Tenant's agents, employees, contractors, invites, successors or others using the Premises with Tenant's expressed or implied permission. It is also agreed that no specific words, phrases, or clauses herein used shall be taken or construed to control, limit or cut down the scope or meaning of any general words, phrases or clauses used in connection therewith. Although the printed provisions of this Lease were drawn by Landlord, this Lease shall not be construed either for or against Landlord or Tenant, as this Lease has been prepared with the participation of both parties and both parties have either been represented by attorneys or have had the opportunity for such representation in the negotiation of its contents. 33.9 INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS; MODIFICATIONS. This Lease contains all agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective.

Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease in which time or performance is a factor. 33.12 ACCORD AND SATISFACTION. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent payment herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, 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 Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. 33.13 NONRECORDATION OF LEASE.

Wherever in this Lease consent or approval is required from either party to any action by the other, such consent or approval shall be given in writing and shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless expressly provided otherwise in this Lease. Landlord shall not be deemed to have withheld its consent unreasonably where Landlord's right to give its consent is conditioned on Landlord obtaining the consent of any other person, agency or authority having the right to withhold its consent pursuant to any agreement or law, and such person, agency or authority does withhold its consent. If Landlord or Tenant unreasonably fails to give any such consent, the other party shall be entitled to specific performance in equity and shall have such other remedies as are reserved to it under this Lease, but in no event shall Landlord or Tenant be responsible in monetary damages for failure to give such consent.

Section 2.5 is deemed deleted in its entirety in recognition of the fact that Tenant will be in possession of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date pursuant to the Citicorp Sublease. 2.6 OPTION TO EXTEND TERM. The following provision is deemed added to the Lease as Section 2.6: OPTION TO EXTEND TERM. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option ("Option") to extend the Term of this Lease for one (1) additional period of sixty (60) months ("Option Term"). The Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice ("Option Notice") delivered by Tenant to Landlord no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than nine (9) months prior to the end of the initial fifty seven (57) month Term. Further, the Option shall not be deemed to be properly exercised if, as of the date of the Option Notice or at the end of the initial Term, Tenant (i) is in default under this Lease or the Suite 430 Lease beyond any applicable cure period, (ii) has assigned all or any portion of this Lease or the Suite 430 Lease or its interest therein; (iii) has sublet all or any portion of the Premises or Suite 430. Provided (a) Tenant has properly and 57 timely exercised the Option, (b) Tenant has also properly and timely exercised its option to extend the term of the Suite 430 Lease as provided therein (which exercise may be concurrent with Tenant's exercise of the Option provided for herein), and (c) Landlord and Tenant reach agreement on the Minimum Monthly Rent payable for the Option Term as provided below, the initial Term shall be extended by the Option Term, and all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, except that there shall be no further extension of the Term following the Option Term and the Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term shall be the then prevailing market rent then being charged by Landlord to new tenants for comparable space in the Building, or, if insufficient comparable transactions exist in the Building, then the rate being charged to new tenants for comparable space by landlords of similar office premises in the same general market area of the Building, with similar amenities taking into consideration the size and location of the premises, the proposed term of the Option Term, the time the particular rental under consideration was agreed upon and became or is to become effective, the extent of improvements and services to be provided and any other relevant terms and conditions. Landlord shall use its best efforts to provide Tenant with its determination of the Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a timely Option Notice from Tenant ("Landlord's Determination"). Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days ("Tenant's Review Period") after receipt of Landlord's Determination within which to accept Landlord's Determination or to reasonably object thereto in writing. In the event Tenant fails to object to Landlord's Determination in writing within such fifteen (15) day period, Landlord's Determination shall be deemed accepted. If Tenant reasonably objects to Landlord's Determination, the parties shall then have thirty (30) days (the "Negotiating Period") after the expiration of Tenant's Review Period within which to agree on new Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term. If the parties agree on the Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term within the Negotiating Period, they shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the new Minimum Monthly Rent. If the parties are unable to agree on the Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term within the Negotiating Period then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope their final proposal as to Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration as set forth below. Landlord and Tenant shall meet with each other within five (5) business days of the expiration of the Negotiating Period, exchange the sealed envelopes, and then open such envelopes in each other's presence. If Landlord and Tenant do not mutually agree upon the Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term within five (5) business days of the exchange and opening of envelopes, 58 then, within ten (10) business days of the exchange and opening of envelopes Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon and jointly appoint a single arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing of comparable office buildings. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall consult with such broker as to his or her opinion as to the Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term prior to the appointment. The determination of the arbitrator shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Minimum Monthly Rent for the Premises is the closer to the actual prevailing market rent for the Premises as determined by the arbitrator, taking into account the requirements of this Section. Such arbitrator may hold such hearings and require such briefs as the arbitrator, in his or her sole discretion, determines is necessary. In addition, Landlord or Tenant may submit to the arbitrator with a copy to the other party within five (5) business days after the appointment of the arbitrator any market data and additional information that such party deems relevant to the determination of Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term ("Market Rent Data") and the other party may submit a reply in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of such Market Rent Data. If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon and appoint an arbitrator, then the appointment of the arbitrator shall be made by the Presiding Judge of the San Diego County Superior Court, or, if he or she refuses to act, by any judge having jurisdiction over the parties. The arbitrator shall, within thirty (30) days of his or her appointment, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Minimum Monthly Rent, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of such determination; provided, however, notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the Minimum Monthly for the initial year of the Option Term be less then the amount of the Minimum Monthly Rent payable by Tenant for the calendar month immediately preceding the commencement of the Option Term. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. The cost of arbitration shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally. If the Minimum Monthly Rent for the Option Term shall not have been determined by the commencement of the Option Term, Tenant shall continue to pay the Minimum Monthly Rent payable as of the month immediately preceding such commencement until the Minimum Monthly Rent is established so that the Minimum Monthly Rent established for the Option Term shall be retroactive to the commencement of the Option Term. 59 ARTICLE 3 - RENT 3.2 ADJUSTMENTS TO MINIMUM MONTHLY RENT. Section 3.2 is deemed deleted in its entirety. ARTICLE 4 - OTHER CHARGES PAYABLE BY TENANT (ADDITIONAL RENT) 4.1.3.3 DIRECT EXPENSE EXCLUSIONS.

In the calculation of any Direct Expenses pursuant to this Lease, it is understood that no expenses shall be charged more than once. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to effect an equitable proration of bills and services rendered to the Building and to any other property owned by Landlord. Landlord agrees to maintain its books and records show any Direct Expenses in accordance with Landlord's standard accounting practices consistently maintained on a year-to-year basis. 4.2.1 INCREASES IN DIRECT EXPENSES/ADDITIONAL RENT.

The representations, warranties and indemnities of Landlord contained in this paragraph shall not be binding upon Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association as the holder of the first lien against the building or as a successor-in-interest. ARTICLE 7 - INDEMNIFICATION 7.3 DAMAGE TO TENANT'S PROPERTY. The last sentence of Section 7.3 is deemed deleted and is replaced with the following: Tenant hereby agrees that in no event shall Landlord or its agents or employees be liable for consequential damages, including injury to Tenant's business or any loss of income therefrom, nor shall Landlord nor Tenant nor their respective agents or employees be liable to Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, for any damages caused by the act or neglect of any other tenant in the Building.
