The Basic Lease Information set forth on Pages (i) and (ii) and this Lease are and shall be construed as a single instrument.

1. PREMISES.

Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant upon the terms and conditions contained herein. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that for purposes of this Lease, as of the Lease Date, the rentable square footage area of each of the Premises and the Building shall be deemed to be the number of rentable square feet as set forth in the Basic Lease Information.

2. TERM.

The Term of this Lease will begin on the Commencement Date and shall expire on the Termination Date. On the day that Tenant executes this Lease, Tenant will deliver to Landlord the original executed Lease, the Prepaid Rent, and the Security Deposit. Within ten (10) days of the date Tenant executes this Lease, Tenant will deliver to Landlord the Letter of Credit. Prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall also deliver insurance certificates evidencing the insurance required to be obtained by Tenant under Section 13 and Exhibit C if any of this Lease. If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date in the condition specified in Section 10 hereof, then Landlord will not be subject to any liability nor shall the validity of the Lease be affected; however, the Rent Commencement Date of this Lease will be extended on a day-for-day basis and the Termination Date shall be extended commensurately. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant by March 31, 2022, Tenant shall have the right upon seven (7) days written notice to terminate this Lease without liability and Landlord shall return the Security Deposit and Letter of Credit within 30 days of such termination. In order to confirm the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date and/or the Termination Date of this Lease, on or before the date that Tenant takes possession of the Premises, Landlord and Tenant will execute a written amendment to this Lease, in the form of Exhibit B hereto, which will specify the actual Commencement Date, Termination Date and the Rent Commencement Date.

3. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

4. RENT.

Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the Base Rent, without prior notice or demand, abatement, offset, deduction, or claim, in advance at Landlord’s Address on the Rent Commencement Date and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each month throughout the balance of the Term of the Lease. In addition to the Base Rent, commencing on January 1, 2023, Tenant shall pay Landlord in advance and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each month throughout the balance of the Term of this Lease, without prior notice or demand, abatement, offset, deduction or claim, as Additional Rent (as defined below), Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses (collectively, the “Expenses”) for the amounts, if any, in excess of the Base Year. The term “Rent” whenever used herein refers to the aggregate of Base Rent and Additional Rent. The Rent for any fractional part of a calendar month at the commencement, expiration or termination of the Lease Term shall be a prorated amount of the Rent for a full calendar month based upon a thirty (30) day month. The first months Base Rent will be paid upon execution of the Lease and any prorated Rent for the final calendar month hereof shall be paid on the first day of the calendar month in which the Termination Date occurs.

5. ADDITIONAL RENT.

It is intended by Landlord and Tenant that this Lease be a modified gross lease, wherein Base Rent includes for Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses in the amount of the Base Year, except for janitorial and the Utility Expenses (as defined in Section 8.1 below), which Tenant shall pay in full as of the Commencement Date. For Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses in excess of the Base Year Expenses, Tenant will pay all Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses with respect to such excess. The costs and expenses described in this Section 5 and all other sums, charges, costs, and expenses specified in this Lease, other than Base Rent, are to be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent (“Additional Rent”).

5.1 Operating Expenses:

5.1.1 Definition of Operating Expenses: Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of all Operating Expenses in excess of the Operating Expenses for the Base Year, if any, as Additional Rent. The term “Operating Expenses” as used herein shall mean the total amounts paid or payable by Landlord in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, repair, and operation of the Premises, the Building, and the Property. These Operating Expenses may include, but are not limited to, Landlord’s cost of: (i) repairs to, and maintenance of, all wall and floor coverings, ceiling tiles and fixtures in the Building, the roof membrane, the non-structural portions of the roof and the non-structural elements of the perimeter and exterior walls of the Building, sidewalks and curbs, exterior windows, foundation and basement areas and any landscaping on the Property; (ii) annual insurance premium(s) insuring against personal injury and property damage (including, if Landlord elects, “all risk” or “special purpose” coverage) and all other insurance, including, but not limited to, earthquake and flood for the Property, rental value insurance against loss of Rent for a period of at least twelve (12) months commencing on the date of loss, and any deductible; (iii) the costs of supplying all utilities, the cost of operating, repairing, maintaining, and renovating the utilities, including without limitation, telephone, electricity, gas, sanitation, storm drainage, and elevator systems that are not paid directly by Tenant, if any; (iv) (a) modifications and/or new improvements to any portion of the Building occasioned by any rules, laws or regulations effective subsequent to the Lease Date; (b) reasonably necessary replacement improvements to any portion of the Building after the Commencement Date; and (c) new improvements to the Building that reduce operating costs or improve life/safety conditions, all of the foregoing as reasonably determined by Landlord, in its sole but reasonable discretion (if such costs are of a capital nature, then such costs or allocable portions thereof will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the capital item or fifteen (15) years whichever is shorter, together with reasonable interest on the amortized balance); (v) preventative maintenance and repair contracts including, but not limited to, contracts for elevator systems and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems; (vi) security and fire protection services for the Building, if and to the extent, in Landlord’s sole discretion, such services are provided; (vii) supplies, materials, equipment and other similar items used in the operation and/or maintenance of the Building and any reasonable

6

reserves established for replacement or repair of any improvements or equipment; (viii) any and all levies, charges, fees and/or assessments imposed on Landlord by any federal, state or local governmental agency or body or to any applicable owner’s association or similar body; (ix) the service and maintenance items set forth in Section 12 below; (x) costs incurred in connection with the areas servicing the Building; (xi) fees and other costs, including management fees, consulting fees, legal fees and accounting fees, and the fees of all contractors and consultants in connection with the management, operation, maintenance and repair of the Building; (xii) payments under any equipment lease agreements; and (xiii) wages, salaries and other compensation and benefits, including taxes levied thereon, of all persons engaged in the operation, maintenance and security of the Building. As of the Lease Date, Landlord does not carry earthquake insurance. In the event that Landlord obtains earthquake insurance during the Term, the amount of such earthquake insurance shall be included in Operating Expenses for the Base Year.

5.1.2 Operating Expense Exclusions: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of this Lease, the term “Operating Expenses” shall not include the following: (i) legal and auditing fees (other than those fees reasonably incurred in connection with the maintenance and operation of all or any portion the Building or Property), leasing commissions, advertising expenses, and other costs incurred in connection with the original leasing of the Building or future re-leasing of any portion of the Building; (ii) depreciation of the Building or any other improvements situated on the Property; (iii) any items for which Landlord is actually reimbursed by insurance; (iv) costs of repairs or other work necessitated by fire, windstorm or other casualty (excluding any deductibles) and/or costs of repair or other work necessitated by the exercise of the right of eminent domain to the extent insurance proceeds or a condemnation award, as applicable, is actually received by Landlord for such purposes; provided, such costs of repairs or other work shall be paid by the parties in accordance with the provisions of Sections 27 and 28, below; (v) any interest or payments on any financing for the Building or the Property; (vi) any interest or penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s late payment of any invoice (provided that Tenant pays Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses to Landlord when due as set forth herein), and any bad debt loss, rent loss or reserves for same; (vii) advertising and promotional expenditures, including the cost of signage identifying the Building owners; (viii) overhead and profit increment paid to Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for goods and/or services in the Building to the extent the same exceeds the costs of such by unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis; or any costs included in Operating Expenses representing an amount paid to a person, firm, corporation or other entity related to Landlord that are in excess of the amount that would have been paid in the absence of such relationship; (ix) any payments under a ground lease or master lease; (x) any expense related to the repair and maintenance of any structural element of the Building or the foundation; (xi) costs arising from the negligence or fault of Landlord or its agents, vendors or providers of materials; (xii) Landlord’s charitable or political contributions; (xiii) costs arising in the base, shell or core of the Building or improvements installed by Landlord; (xiv) any expense due to the acquisition of any sculpture, painting or other objects of art; (xv) costs of operation of the business of the partnership or entity which constitutes Landlord that are not directly attributable to the operation of the Building, including partnership accounting and legal matters and the cost of defending any lawsuit that is unrelated to the operation of the Building; (xvi) the expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any environmental clean-up, response action or remediation on, in, under or about the Premises or the Building to the extent not caused, directly or indirectly by Tenant, but excluding the costs of monitoring; and (xvii) “in-house” legal and/or accounting fees (other than the management fees).

7

5.2 Tax Expenses: Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of all real property taxes applicable to the Property in excess of real property taxes due for the Base Year, in accordance with Section 5.3 below. The term “Tax Expenses” shall mean and include, without limitation, any form of tax and assessment (general, special, supplemental, ordinary or extraordinary), commercial rental tax, payments under any improvement bond or bonds, license fees, license tax, business license fee, rental tax, transaction tax or levy imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power of tax (including any city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, lighting, drainage or other improvement district thereof) as against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises or any other portion of the Property or any other tax, fee, or excise, however described. The term “Tax Expenses” shall only exclude any franchise, estate, inheritance, net income, or excess profits tax imposed upon Landlord, or a penalty fee imposed as a result of Landlord’s failure to pay Tax Expenses when due. Tenant will pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, irrespective of the Base Year, within ten (10) days after demand therefore, one hundred percent (100%) of (i) any increase in real property taxes attributable to any and all Alterations (defined below in Section 11), Tenant Improvements, fixtures, equipment or other improvements of any kind whatsoever placed in, on or about the Premises for the benefit of, at the request of, or by Tenant, and (ii) taxes and assessments levied or assessed upon or with respect to the possession, operation, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any other portion of the Property. Prior to delinquency, Tenant shall pay any and all taxes and assessments levied upon Tenant’s Property (defined below in Section 11.2) located or installed in or about the Premises by, or on behalf of Tenant. To the extent any such taxes or assessments are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, then Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, the amount thereof as invoiced by Landlord.

5.3 Payment of Expenses. Following the Base Year, Landlord will invoice Tenant for its share of increases in Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses at the end of each calendar year. Tenant will have thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice to pay Tenant’s Share of said increases for the preceding year. Alternatively, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, invoice Tenant for said increases in advance based on an estimate to be paid by Tenant monthly. Should Landlord elect to collect increases in advance, Landlord will notify Tenant in writing. Beginning on January 1, 2023, Tenant will pay one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated amount of the Expenses in an amount that Landlord reasonably expects the Expenses for that calendar year to exceed the Expenses for the Base Year, as Additional Rent, and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each month throughout the remaining months of such calendar year. Thereafter, within the first ninety (90) days of any subsequent calendar year, Landlord will provide Tenant with an estimate of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses for the calendar year, Tenant will pay the amount of the revised estimate on the first day of the next preceding calendar month. Until the Landlord delivers the estimate for the then current calendar year, Tenant’s payments will be based upon the estimate from the previous year. At any point during any Lease Year (other than the Base Year), Landlord may revise its estimate for that calendar year if Landlord has a reasonable basis for the belief that the ultimate Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses for that year will be more than five percent (5%) above the current estimate, Landlord may deliver written notice to Tenant increasing the estimated payments for the remainder of that calendar year. Tenant will pay the increased amount beginning on the first day of the month following Landlord’s delivery of said notice.

8

5.4 Annual Reconciliation: By June 30th of each calendar year in which Tenant is obligated for Tenant’s Share of Expenses, or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with an accounting of actual and accrued Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses for the prior calendar year. Within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s delivery of such accounting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any underpayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure by Landlord to give such accounting by such date shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to collect any underpayment by Tenant at any time. Landlord may, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, either credit the amount of any overpayment by Tenant toward the next estimated monthly installment(s) falling due, or refund the amount of overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days thereafter. If the Term of the Lease expires prior to the annual reconciliation of Expenses Landlord shall have the right to reasonably estimate Tenant’s Share of such Expenses, and (a) if Landlord determines that there has been an underpayment, Landlord may deduct such underpayment from Tenant’s Security Deposit, and (b) if Landlord determines that there has been an overpayment, Landlord shall refund the amount of the overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expirations of the Term. Failure by Landlord to accurately estimate Tenant’s Share of such Expenses or to otherwise perform such reconciliation of expenses shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to collect any of Tenant’s underpayment at any time during the Term of the Lease or at any time after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

5.5 Audit: After delivery to Landlord of at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense through any reputable accountant designated by it, shall have the right to examine and/or audit the books and records evidencing such costs and expenses for the previous one (1) calendar year, during Landlord’s reasonable business hours but not more frequently than once during any calendar year. Any such accounting firm designated by Tenant may not be compensated on a contingency fee basis. The results of any such audit (and any negotiations between the parties related thereto) shall be maintained strictly confidential by Tenant and its accounting firm and shall not be disclosed, published, or otherwise disseminated to any other party other than to Landlord and its authorized agents. Landlord and Tenant each shall use its best efforts to cooperate in such negotiations and to promptly resolve any discrepancies between Landlord and Tenant in the accounting of the Expenses. In no event will any discrepancies be deemed a material breach of the Lease by Landlord. Once all of the discrepancies, if any, have been resolved, should the audit reveals that Landlord overstated Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Tax Expenses by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord will reimburse Tenant for the actual cost of the audit.

6. SECURITY DEPOSIT.

6.1 Cash Security Deposit: Simultaneously with Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, the cash portion of Security Deposit for the faithful performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease. If Tenant is in default hereunder, Landlord may, but is not required to, use all or any portion of the Security Deposit to cure the default or to compensate Landlord for all damages sustained in connection therewith, including without limitation, Reletting Costs (as defined in Section 21.1). Tenant will, immediately on

9

demand, pay to Landlord the sum required to replenish and restore the Security Deposit to its full amount. At any time after Tenant has defaulted hereunder, Landlord may require an increase in the amount of the Security Deposit required hereunder for the then balance of the Term and Tenant shall, immediately on demand, pay to Landlord such additional sums. As soon as practicable after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord will return the cash portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant, less any amounts that are reasonably necessary, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, to remedy Tenant’s default(s) hereunder or to otherwise restore the Premises to a clean and safe condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. If the cost to restore the Premises exceeds the amount of the Security Deposit, Tenant will immediately deliver to Landlord any excess sums. Landlord is not required to keep the Security Deposit separate from other funds, and, unless otherwise required by law, Tenant is not entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect that provide that limit the types of damages to which a security deposit may be applied, it being agreed that Landlord may claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent or invitee of Tenant. In no event or circumstance shall Tenant have the right to any use or application of the Security Deposit and, specifically, Tenant may not use the Security Deposit as the last month’s Rent, as a credit or to otherwise offset any payments required hereunder.

6.2 Letter of Credit: In addition to the cash Security Deposit, Tenant will deliver to Landlord within ten (10) days following Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease an irrevocable letter of credit payable in the San Francisco Bay Area, California issued for the benefit of the Landlord by a bank reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, in the amount of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000.00) (the “Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit will be irrevocable for the term thereof and will provide that it is automatically renewable for a period ending not earlier than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord. However, the issuing bank will have the right not to renew said Letter of Credit on written notice to Landlord given not less than sixty (60) days before the expiration of the Term (it being understood, however, that the privilege of the issuing bank not to renew said letter of credit will not, in any event, diminish the obligation of Tenant to maintain such irrevocable Letter of Credit with Landlord through the date which is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term).

(a) The Letter of Credit must be issued by a bank reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and must provide, among other things, in effect that:

(i) Landlord, or its then managing agent, will have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit upon the presentation to the issuing bank of Landlord’s (or Landlord’s then managing agent’s) statement that the drawer is entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit pursuant to this Lease, it being understood that if Landlord or its managing agent is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity, then such statement will be signed by an officer or member (if a corporation or limited liability company), a general partner (if a partnership), or any authorized party (if another entity);

10

(ii) The Letter of Credit will be honored by the issuing bank without inquiry as to the accuracy thereof and regardless of whether the Tenant disputes the content of such statement;

(iii) In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Property, Landlord will have the right to transfer the Letter of Credit to the transferee at no cost to Landlord or transferee, and thereupon, Landlord will, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of said Letter of Credit to a new landlord;

(iv) Tenant further covenants that it will not assign or encumber said Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Letter of Credit expires earlier than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term, or the issuing bank notifies Landlord that it will not renew the Letter of Credit, Landlord will accept a renewal thereof or substitute Letter of Credit (such renewal or substitute letter of credit to be in effect not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration thereof), irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided to sixty (60) days after the end of the Term upon the same terms as the expiring letter of credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord. However, (i) if the Letter of Credit is not timely renewed or a substitute Letter of Credit is not timely received, or (ii) if Tenant fails to maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount and terms set forth in this Section 6.2, Tenant, at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the Letter of Credit, or immediately upon its failure to comply with each and every term of this Section 6.2, must deposit with Landlord cash security in the amounts required by, and to be held subject to and in accordance with, all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.2 hereof, failing which the Landlord may present such letter of credit to the bank, in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.2, and the entire sum secured thereby will be paid to Landlord, to be held by Landlord as provided in this Section 6.1.

(c) Subject to the terms of this Section 6.1, and further provided Tenant has paid all Rent due under this Lease when due or after notice and within the applicable cure period, during each 12-month period immediately preceding the effective date of any reduction in the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit on each anniversary of the Commencement Date through the Lease Term by the amount of Eighty Thousand Dollars ($80,000.00) per annum. If Tenant is not entitled to reduce the Letter of Credit as of a particular anniversary of the Commencement Date due to Tenant’s failure to timely pay all Rent beyond all applicable notice and cure periods during the 12 months prior in time, then the right to all subsequent reduction(s) shall terminate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.1(c), the occurrence of any material default under this Lease that has not been cured after notice and within the applicable cure period, shall extinguish all further right to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit as described herein. Any reduction in the Letter of Credit shall be accomplished by Tenant providing Landlord with a substitute letter of credit in the reduced amount and otherwise in compliance with all terms of this Section.

11

7. LATE CHARGES.

Any and all sums or charges set forth in this Section 7 will be paid as Additional Rent. Tenant acknowledges that late payment (the fifth (5th) day of each month or any time thereafter) by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and all other sums due hereunder, will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease. Such costs may include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any note secured by any encumbrance against the Premises, and late charges and penalties due to the late payment of real property taxes on the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent or any other sum payable by Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days from the date due (provided, however, that with respect to Tenant’s first failure during each Lease year to pay any installment of Rent or any other sum payable by Tenant, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of such failure and Tenant shall have five (5) days following the date of such notice to pay such past due amount), Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord a late charge, as liquidated damages, in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of such delinquent amount plus interest on such delinquent amount at the maximum legal rate. In addition to the late charge described above, any Rent or other amounts owing hereunder that are not paid within ten (10) days the date that they are due (provided, however, that with respect to Tenant’s first failure during each Lease year to pay any installment of Rent or any amounts owing hereunder, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant of such failure and Tenant shall have five (5) days following the date of such notice to pay such past due amount) will bear interest from the date when due until paid at a rate that is the higher of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law. The parties agree that this late charge and the other charges referenced above represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment by Tenant, excluding attorneys’ fees and costs. Acceptance of any late charge or other charges shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s default with respect to the delinquent amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord for any other breach of Tenant under this Lease. If a late charge becomes payable for three (3) installments of Rent, then Landlord, at Landlord’s sole option, can either require the Rent be paid quarterly in advance or be paid monthly in advance by cashier’s check or by electronic funds transfer.

8. UTILITIES AND SERVICES.

Tenant shall also provide for its own garbage and janitorial service, at its sole cost and expense.

12

8.2 Interruption of Use: Tenant agrees that Landlord is not liable for damage, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including electricity, telephone and telecommunications services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by breakage, repairs, replacements, shortages, outages, brown-outs, black-outs, or improvements, by any strike, lockout, or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Property after reasonable effort to do so, by any riot or other dangerous condition, emergency, accident, casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or service-providers, or by any other cause (other than arising from or in connection with the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord); and such failure, delay or diminution will never be deemed to constitute an eviction, interruption, cessation or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under the Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for any loss of, or injury to, property or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a failure to furnish any of the services or utilities set forth in Section 8 (other than arising due to or in connection with the negligence of willful misconduct of Landlord). Tenant acknowledges that the Premises may become subject to the rationing or partial or intermittent “blackouts” of utility services or restrictions on utility use as required by a public utility company, governmental agency or other similar entity having jurisdiction thereof. Tenant agrees that its tenancy and occupancy hereunder shall be subject to such rationing restrictions as may be imposed upon Landlord, Tenant, the Premises, or other portions of the Building, and Tenant shall in no event be excused or relieved from any covenant or obligation to be kept or performed by Tenant by reason of any such rationing or restrictions.

11. ALTERATIONS; AND SURRENDER OF PREMISES.

11.1 Alterations: Tenant will not install any signs, fixtures, improvements, nor make or permit any other alterations or additions (individually, an “Alteration”, and collectively, the “Alterations”) to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as any such Alteration is in compliance with Section 11 of this Lease and does not affect the Building systems or the structural integrity of the Premises or the Building. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Tenant Improvement shall not constitute “Alternations” and shall be governed by Exhibit C. Any Alteration affecting the structure of the Building or Building systems is subject to the sole and absolute discretion of Landlord. If any such Alteration is expressly permitted by Landlord in writing, Tenant shall deliver at least twenty (20) days prior notice to Landlord, from the date Tenant intends to commence construction, sufficient to enable Landlord to post a Notice of Non-Responsibility. In all events, Tenant shall obtain all permits or other governmental approvals prior to commencing any of such work and deliver copies to Landlord. All Alterations shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and shall be installed by a licensed contractor (reasonably approved by Landlord) in compliance with all applicable Laws (including, but not limited to, the ADA). Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Property free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall, prior to construction of any and all Alterations, cause its contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) to provide insurance as reasonably required by Landlord.

On or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property (as hereinafter defined) from the Premises. Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal of the Tenant’s Property. For purposes hereof, the term “Tenant’s Property” shall mean and refer to all

14

equipment, trade fixtures, computer wiring and cabling, furnishings, inventories, goods, and personal property of Tenant. Any of Tenant’s Property not so removed by Tenant as required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord’s retention and disposition of such property; provided, however, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for all costs incurred in disposing of such abandoned property of Tenant. All Tenant Improvements and Alterations, except those that Landlord requires Tenant to remove, will remain in the Premises as the property of Landlord.

12. SERVICES AND MAINTENANCE.

12.1 Maintenance by Landlord: Landlord shall maintain the structural portions of the Building, including the roof, foundation, parking lot, and building systems and utilities to the point where they enter the Building structure itself (collectively, “Covered Items”), in reasonably good order and condition except for damage occasioned by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, which damages shall be repaired by the Landlord at Tenant’s expense. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord does not assume any responsibility for the security of persons or property in, upon or about the Premises or the Building. Tenant expressly releases Landlord from any liability for theft, burglary, or damage or injury to persons or property caused by the persons gaining access to the Building or the Premises, except as occasioned by the active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized representatives (“Covered Claims”). Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord from and against all such Covered Claims by Tenant’s agents, contractors, employees, subtenants, licensees, invitees, and visitors. Te

Tenant acknowledges that the controls for the HVAC service to the Premises are located within the Premises and Tenant shall cause the HVAC to be turned on in the morning and off every evening. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall it constitute a constructive eviction of the Tenant, nor shall the Rent be reserved or abated by reason of (a) the installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with furnishing any of the foregoing services, or (b) the failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such service when such failure or delay is caused by accident or any condition beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or by the making of necessary repairs or improvements to the Premises or the Building, unless occasioned by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

12.3 Common Area: Intentionally Deleted.

15

12.4 Security: Tenant may install its own security system for the Premises, at its sole cost and expense. Installation of the security system shall be in accordance with Section 11 of this Lease.

13. INSURANCE.

13.1 Types of Insurance: Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect at all times during the Term of this Lease, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the protection of Tenant and Landlord, the following policies of insurance:

13.1.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance (or its equivalent approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, if such policy form is no longer issued) insuring, among other liabilities, claims arising out of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage arising out of Tenant’s operations and contractual liabilities, including a Broad Form endorsement covering the insuring provisions of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of the indemnity set forth in Section 14 of this Lease, in limits not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability. Such insurance shall insure, on an occurrence basis, against all liability of Tenant, its employees, and agents arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s use of the Premises;

13.1.2 Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance, as required by law;

13.1.3 “All Risk” or “Special Purpose” Property Insurance for Tenant’s personal property, including without limitation, sprinkler leakage, and if the property of any of Tenant’s invitees, vendors or customers is to be kept in the Premises, warehouser’s legal liability or bailee’s customer insurance. All insurance under this Section 13.1.3 will be written on a replacement cost basis (without deduction for depreciation) in an amount equal to One Hundred Percent (100%) of the full replacement value of any property damaged; and

13.1.4 Such other insurance or higher limits of liability as is then customarily required for similar types of buildings within the general vicinity of the Building as may be required by any of Landlord’s lenders.

13.2 Insurance Policies: Insurance required to be maintained by Tenant shall be written by companies (i) licensed to do business in the State of California, (ii) domiciled in the United States of America, and (iii) having a “General Policyholders Rating” of at least A:X (or such higher rating as may be required by a lender having a lien on the Premises) as set forth in the most current issue of “A.M. Best’s Rating Guides.” Any deductible amounts under any of the insurance policies required hereunder shall not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance and true and complete copies of any and all endorsements required herein for all insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder at the time of execution of this Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall, at least fifteen (15) days prior to expiration of each policy, furnish Landlord with certificates of renewal or “binders” thereof. Each certificate shall expressly provide that such policies shall not be cancelable or otherwise subject to material modification except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to the parties named as additional insureds as required in this Lease (except for cancellation for nonpayment of premium, in which event cancellation shall not take effect until at least ten (10) days’ notice has been given to Landlord).

16

13.3 Additional Insureds and Coverage: Each of Landlord, Landlord’s property management company or agent, and Landlord’s lender(s) having a lien against the Premises or any other portion of the Property shall be named as additional insureds or loss payees (as applicable) under all of the policies required in Section 13. Additionally, all of such policies shall provide for severability of interest. All insurance to be maintained by Tenant shall, except for workers’ compensation and employer’s liability insurance, be primary, without right of contribution from insurance maintained by Landlord. Any umbrella/excess liability policy (which shall be in “following form”) shall provide that if the underlying aggregate is exhausted, the excess coverage will drop down as primary insurance. The limits of insurance maintained by Tenant shall not limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease. It is the parties’ intention that the insurance to be procured and maintained by Tenant as required herein shall provide coverage for any and all damage or injury arising from or related to Tenant’s operations of its business and/or Tenant’s or Tenant’s officers, directors, agents, employees, invitees and contractors’ (collectively, the “Tenant’s Representatives”) use of the Premises and any of the areas within the Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent Landlord’s cost of maintaining insurance with respect to the Building is increased as a result of Tenant’s acts, omissions, Alterations, improvements, use or occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of, and for, each such increase as Additional Rent.

13.4 Failure of Tenant to Purchase and Maintain Insurance: If Tenant fails to obtain and maintain the insurance required herein throughout the Term of this Lease, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, purchase the necessary insurance and pay the premiums therefore. If Landlord so elects to purchase such insurance, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord as Additional Rent, the amount so paid by Landlord, upon Landlord’s demand therefore. In addition, Landlord may recover from Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay, as Additional Rent, any and all losses, damages, expenses and costs which Landlord may sustain or incur by reason of Tenant’s failure to obtain and maintain such insurance.

13.5 Waiver of Subrogation: Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive their respective rights of recovery against each other for any loss of, or damage to, either parties’ property to the extent that such loss or damage is insured by an insurance policy required to be in effect at the time of such loss or damage. Each party shall obtain any special endorsements, if required by its insurer, whereby the insurer waives its rights of subrogation against the other party. This provision is intended to waive fully, and for the benefit of the parties hereto, any rights and/or claims which might give rise to a right of subrogation in favor of any insurance carrier.

14. INDEMNITY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

14.1 Indemnity: Except to the extent of damage resulting from the sole gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized representatives, Tenant agrees to indemnify and defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) Landlord and Landlord’s lenders, partners, members, agents, directors, officers, employees, representatives, contractors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against all

17

liabilities, damages, demands, penalties, costs, claims, losses, judgments, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) (collectively, “Claims”) arising from or in any way related to, directly or indirectly, (i) Tenant’s or Tenant’s Representatives’ use or occupancy of the Premises and other portions of the Building, (ii) the conduct of Tenant’s business, or (iii) Tenant’s failure to perform any covenant or obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant agrees that the obligations of Tenant herein shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

14.2 Limitation of Liability: Except to the extent of damage resulting from the sole gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized representatives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any of the Indemnitees shall at any time or to any extent whatsoever be liable, responsible or in any way accountable for any loss, liability, injury, death or damage to persons or property which at any time may be suffered or sustained by Tenant or by any person(s) whomsoever who may at any time be using, occupying or visiting the Premises or any other portion of the Building, including, but not limited to, any acts, errors or omissions of any other tenants or occupants of the Building. Tenant shall not, in any event or circumstance, be permitted to offset, avoid, mitigate, diminish, or otherwise credit against any payments of Rent required herein for matters for which Landlord may be liable hereunder.

15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING.

15.1 Prohibition: Except for Permitted Transfers (as defined below), Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), assign, sublease, grant any license or concession or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest herein, permit any assignment or other such transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and Tenant’s Representatives (all of the foregoing are sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”). No consent to any Transfer shall constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section 15, and all subsequent Transfers may be made only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but which consent shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 15. Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any Transfer to an affiliate, subsidiary of Tenant in which Tenant owns no less than fifty percent (50%) of the ownership interest or an entity that has purchased all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets. Any Transfer to an affiliated entity shall not be effective until the Transferee assumes all of the obligations under this Lease in writing to Landlord.

15.2 Request for Consent: If Tenant seeks to make a Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing, and deliver to Landlord at least thirty (30) days (but not more than one hundred eighty (180) days) prior to the proposed commencement date of the Transfer (the “Proposed Effective Date”) the following information and documents (the “Tenant’s Notice”): (i) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”); (ii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer including without limitation, the Proposed Effective Date, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of the existing or proposed assignment, sublease or other agreement governing the proposed Transfer; (iii) current financial statements of

18

the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, member, partner or owner thereof, and any such other information as Landlord may then reasonably require, including without limitation, audited financial statements for the previous three (3) most recent consecutive fiscal years; (iv) the Plans and Specifications (defined below), if any; and (v) such other information as Landlord may then reasonably require. Tenant shall give Landlord the Tenant’s Notice by registered or certified mail addressed to Landlord at Landlord’s Address specified in the Basic Lease Information. Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Tenant’s Notice (the “Landlord Response Period”) Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, of its determination with respect to such requested proposed Transfer and the election to recapture the Subject Space. If Landlord elects to recapture the Subject Space, Tenant may withdraw its request for consent within twenty (20) days thereafter (“Tenant’s Request Withdrawal”) and this Lease will continue in full force and effect. If Landlord does not elect to recapture pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.5 hereof and Landlord does consent to the requested proposed Transfer, Tenant may thereafter assign its interests in and to this Lease or sublease all or a portion of the Premises to the same party and on the same terms as set forth in the Tenant’s Notice. If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s Notice within Landlord’s Response Period, then, the proposed Transfer shall then be deemed disapproved by Landlord. As Additional Rent hereunder, Tenant shall upon the Transfer pay to Landlord, a transfer fee in the amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000) (“Transfer Fee”), plus Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for actual and reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any actual or proposed Transfer. This Transfer Fee is due at the time that any request for Transfer is made.

15.3 Criteria for Consent: Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, among other circumstances for which Landlord could reasonably withhold consent to a proposed Transfer, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent where (i) Tenant is or has been in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods; (ii) ) the use to be made of the Premises by the proposed Transferee is prohibited under this Lease or differs from the uses permitted under this Lease, (iii) the proposed Transferee or its business is subject to compliance with additional requirements of the ADA beyond those requirements which are applicable to Tenant, unless the proposed Transferee shall (a) first deliver plans and specifications for complying with such additional requirements (the “Plans and Specifications”) and obtain Landlord’s written consent thereto, and (b) comply with all Landlord’s conditions contained in such consent, (iv) the proposed Transferee does not intend to occupy a substantial portion of the Premises assigned or sublet to it, (v) Landlord reasonably disapproves of the proposed Transferee’s business operating ability or history or creditworthiness of the business to be conducted by the proposed Transferee at the Premises, (vi) the proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to violate another agreement or obligation to which Landlord is a party or otherwise subject, or (vii) Landlord otherwise reasonably determines that the proposed Transfer would have the effect of decreasing the value of the Building.

15.4 Effectiveness of Transfer and Continuing Obligations: Prior to the date on which any permitted Transfer becomes effective, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (i) a counterpart of the fully executed Transfer document, and (ii) Landlord’s standard form of Consent to Assignment or Consent to Sublease attached hereto as Exhibit E, as applicable, executed by Tenant and the Transferee in which each of Tenant and the Transferee confirms its obligations pursuant to this Lease. Failure or refusal of a Transferee to execute any such consent instrument shall not release or discharge the Transferee from its obligation to do so or from any

19

liability as provided herein. The voluntary, involuntary, or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation by Landlord and Tenant, shall not work a merger, and any such surrender or cancellation shall, at the option of Landlord, either terminate all or any existing subleases or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subleases. Each permitted Transferee shall assume and be deemed to assume this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for payment of Rent and for the due performance of, and compliance with all the terms, covenants, conditions, and agreements herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed or complied with, for the Term of this Lease. No Transfer shall affect the continuing primary liability of Tenant (which, following assignment, shall be joint and several with the assignee) to perform any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease. For purposes hereof, if Tenant is a business entity, direct or indirect transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the ownership interest of the entity (whether in a single transaction or in the aggregate through more than one transaction) shall be deemed a change in Control and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 15.8 hereof. Any and all options, first rights of refusal, tenant improvement allowances and other similar rights granted to Tenant in this Lease, if any, shall not be assignable by Tenant unless expressly authorized in writing by Landlord. Any transfer made without Landlord’s prior written consent, shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a material default by Tenant of this Lease.

15.5 Recapture: Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by giving written notice to Tenant within fifteen (15) days from receipt of Tenant’s Notice, to recapture the Subject Space described in the Tenant’s Notice, subject to Tenant’s Request Withdrawal. If such recapture notice is given, it shall serve to terminate this Lease with respect to the proposed Subject Space, or, if the proposed Subject Space covers all the Premises, it shall serve to terminate the entire Term of this Lease, in either case, as of the Proposed Effective Date. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent shall be adjusted on the basis of the proportion of rentable square feet retained by Tenant to the rentable square feet originally demised and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not recapture for the purposes of entering into a direct lease with Tenant’s proposed transferee.

15.6 Transfer Premium: If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the Tenant hereby agrees is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, fifty percent (50%) any “Transfer Premium” received by Tenant from any Transferee. The term “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent, and other consideration payable by such Transferee that either initially or over the term of the Transfer exceeds the Rent or pro rata portion of the Rent, as the case may be, for such space reserved in the Lease, less the “Reasonable Costs of the Transfer”. “Reasonable Costs of the Transfer” means the actual costs incurred by Tenant in effectuating the Transfer, including the cost of constructing any tenant improvements as required by the Transfer to the extent attributable to the Subject Space, leasing commissions, professional fees associated with space planning and any improvements, and legal fees. If less than all of the Premises is sublet or assigned, then the Transfer Premium shall be determined pro-ratably on a per-square-foot basis.

20

15.7 Waiver: Notwithstanding any Transfer, or any indulgences, waivers or extensions of time granted by Landlord to any Transferee, or failure by Landlord to take action against any Transferee, Tenant agrees that Landlord may, at its option, proceed against Tenant without having taken action against or joined such Transferee, except that Tenant shall have the benefit of any indulgences, waivers and extensions of time granted to any such Transferee.

15.8 Permitted Transfer: Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may Transfer all or part of its interest in this Lease or all or part of the Premises (a “Permitted Transfer”) to the following types of entities (a “Permitted Transferee”) without the written consent of Landlord or fulfilling the requirements of the foregoing subsections: (a) any parent, subsidiary or affiliate corporation which Controls (as defined below), is Controlled by or is under common Control with Tenant (collectively, an “Affiliate”); (b) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which or with which Tenant, an Affiliate of Tenant, or their respective corporate successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and consolidation of business entities, so long as in both cases (a) and (b), (i) Tenant’s obligations hereunder are assumed by the Permitted Transferee; and (ii) the Permitted Transferee satisfies the Net Worth Threshold as of the effective date of the Permitted Transfer; or (c) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity which acquires all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets and/or ownership interests, if the Transferee satisfies the Net Worth Threshold as of the effective date of the Transfer; provided, that no such Permitted Transfer is a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall remain liable for the performance of all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, or if Tenant no longer exists because of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition, the surviving or acquiring entity shall expressly assume in writing, the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Additionally, the Permitted Transferee shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, whether accruing prior to and/or from and after the consummation of the Transfer. No later than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any Permitted Transfer, Tenant shall (1) notify Landlord in writing of such Permitted Transfer, and (2) furnish Landlord with copies of (A) the instrument effecting any of the foregoing Permitted Transfers, (B) documentation establishing Tenant’s satisfaction of the requirements set forth above applicable to any such Permitted Transfer, and (3) evidence of insurance as required under this Lease with respect to the Permitted Transferee (collectively, the “Permitted Transferee Information”). Landlord hereby acknowledges that the prospective transaction effecting a Permitted Transfer (“M&A Activity”) may be non-public and highly confidential. Landlord shall maintain all information on the M&A Activity, including the Permitted Transferee Information strictly confidential. The occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent Transfers. As used herein, the term “Net Worth Threshold” shall mean the proposed Permitted Transferee has a tangible net worth equal to or greater than that of the originally named Tenant as of December 31 of the year prior to the Commencement Date (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and excluding from the determination of total assets all assets which would be classified as intangible assets under generally accepted accounting principles, including, without limitation, goodwill, licenses, trademarks, trade names, copyrights and franchises The term “Control” shall mean the possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policy of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by statute or by contract, and whether directly or indirectly through Affiliates.

21

16. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

17. SUBORDINATION.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, this Lease, the rights of Tenant under this Lease and Tenant’s leasehold interest shall be automatically subject and subordinate at all times to: (i) all ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Building or the Property, and (ii) the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust that may now or hereafter exist for which the Building, ground leases or underlying leases or Landlord’s interest or estate in any of said items is specified as security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord or any such ground lessor, mortgagee, or any beneficiary shall have the right to require this Lease be superior to any such ground leases or underlying leases or any such liens, mortgage, or deed of trust. If any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, provided such successor in interest does not disturb Tenant’s use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises so long as Tenant is not in material default of the terms and provisions of this Lease. The successor in interest to Landlord following foreclosure, sale or deed in lieu thereof shall not be: (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership; (b) subject to any offsets or defenses that Tenant might have against any prior lessor; (c) bound by prepayment of more than one (1) month’s Rent, except in those instances when Tenant pays Rent quarterly in advance pursuant to Section 7 hereof, then not more than three months’ Rent; or (d) liable to Tenant for any Security Deposit not actually received by such successor in interest to the extent any portion or all of such Security Deposit has not already been forfeited by, or refunded to, Tenant. Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for all or any portion of the Security Deposit not forfeited by, or refunded to Tenant, until and unless Landlord transfers such Security Deposit to the successor-in-interest. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute (and acknowledge if required by Landlord, any lender or ground lessor) and deliver, within five (5) days of a demand or request by Landlord and in the form reasonably requested by Landlord, ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary, any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground leases or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust.

18. RIGHT OF ENTRY.

Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, upon reasonable prior notice, for purposes of inspection, exhibition, posting of notices, investigation, replacements, repair, maintenance and alteration. It is further agreed that Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means Landlord deems necessary to enter the Premises in an emergency. Landlord shall also have the right to place “for sale” signs on the outside of the Building. Tenant hereby waives any Claim from damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, or any other loss occasioned thereby except for any Claim for any of the foregoing arising out of the sole active gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may designate in writing certain secured areas within the Premises which Landlord will not enter except in an emergency situation or upon no less that twenty-four hours prior written notice for the purpose of inspection.

22

19. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

Tenant shall execute (and acknowledge if required by any lender or ground lessor) and deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days after Landlord provides such to Tenant, a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification), the date to which the Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder or specifying such defaults as are claimed, and such other matters as Landlord may reasonably require. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by Landlord and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Building or other portions of the Property. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon the Tenant that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance; and (c) not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance, except in those instances when Tenant pays Rent quarterly in advance pursuant to Section 7 hereof, then not more than three months’ Rent has been paid in advance.

20. TENANT’S DEFAULT.

The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a material default by Tenant of the provisions of this Lease:

20.1 The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or the vacation of the Premises by Tenant which would cause any insurance policy to be invalidated or otherwise lapse;

20.2 The occurrence of two (2) or more non-material defaults during any one calendar year, or four (4) or more material defaults during the Term;

20.3 The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent, Additional Rent or any other payment required hereunder within five (5) days for written notice (such notice being in lieu of any notice required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161). Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, require Tenant to pay any late Rent with a cashier’s check or by wire transfer;

20.4 The failure by Tenant to observe, perform or comply with any of the conditions, covenants or provisions of this Lease (except failure to make any payment of Rent and/or Additional Rent) and such failure is not cured within (i) thirty (30) days from the date that Landlord delivers written notice of such failure to Tenant for all failures other than with respect to the timely delivery by Tenant of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDA”), a counterpart of a fully executed Transfer document and a consent thereto (collectively, the “Transfer Documents”), an estoppel certificate or insurance certificates, and (ii) the time period, if any, specified in the applicable sections of this Lease with respect to subordination, assignment and sublease, estoppel certificates and insurance. However, Tenant shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder if such failure (other than any failure of Tenant to timely deliver an SNDA, the Transfer Documents, an estoppel certificate or insurance certificates, for which no additional cure period shall be given to Tenant) cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) or ten (10) day period, as applicable, and Tenant promptly

23

commences, and thereafter diligently proceeds with same to completion, all actions necessary to cure such failure as soon as is reasonably possible, but in no event shall the completion of such cure be later than sixty (60) days after the date on which Landlord delivers to Tenant written notice of such failure, unless Landlord, acting reasonably and in good faith, otherwise expressly agrees in writing to a longer period of time based upon the circumstances relating to such failure as well as the nature of the failure and the nature of the actions necessary to cure such failure; or

20.5 The making of a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant or the filing of an involuntary petition by any of Tenant’s creditors seeking the rehabilitation, liquidation, or reorganization of Tenant under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief of debtors and, in the case of an involuntary action, the failure to remove or discharge the same within sixty (60) days of such filing, the appointment of a receiver or other custodian to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets or this leasehold, Tenant’s insolvency or inability to pay Tenant’s debts or failure generally to pay Tenant’s debts when due, any court entering a decree or order directing the winding up or liquidation of Tenant or of substantially all of Tenant’s assets, Tenant taking any action toward the dissolution or winding up of Tenant’s affairs, the cessation or suspension of Tenant’s use of the Premises, or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets or this leasehold.

21. REMEDIES FOR TENANT’S DEFAULT.

21.1 Landlord’s Rights: In the event of Tenant’s material default under this Lease, and in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means in which case upon delivery of written notice by Landlord this Lease shall terminate on the date specified by Landlord in such notice and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In addition, the Landlord shall have the immediate right of re-entry whether or not this Lease is terminated, and if this right of re-entry is exercised following abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, Landlord may consider any of Tenant’s Property left on the Premises to also have been abandoned. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section 21.1 shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. If Landlord relets the Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises or any part thereof, including, without limitation, unamortized broker’s commissions, reasonable expenses of cleaning, redecorating, and further improving the Premises and other similar costs (collectively, the “Reletting Costs”). Any and all of the Reletting Costs shall be fully chargeable to Tenant and shall not be prorated or otherwise amortized in relation to any new lease for the Premises or any portion thereof. Reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord. No act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. 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. So long as this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall have the right to remedy any default of Tenant, to maintain or improve the Premises, to cause a receiver to be appointed to administer the Premises and new or existing subleases and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Landlord’s reasonable costs in so doing, with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of such expenditure.

24

21.2 Damages Recoverable: If Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Premises before the end of the Term, or if Tenant’s right to possession is terminated by Landlord because of a breach or default under this Lease, then in either such case, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, the unamortized cost of any Tenant Improvements constructed by or on behalf of Tenant pursuant to Exhibit C hereto to the extent Landlord has paid for such improvements, the unamortized portion of any broker’s or leasing agent’s commission incurred with respect to the leasing of the Premises to Tenant for the balance of the Term of the Lease remaining after the date on which Tenant is in default of its obligations hereunder, and all Reletting Costs, and the worth at the time of the award (computed in accordance with paragraph (3) of Subdivision (a) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code) of the amount by which the Rent then unpaid hereunder for the balance of the Lease Term exceeds the amount of such loss of Rent for the same period which Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided by Landlord and in such case, Landlord prior to the award, may relet the Premises for the purpose of mitigating damages suffered by Landlord because of Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that even though Tenant has abandoned the Premises following such breach, this Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect for as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right of possession, and until such termination, Landlord shall have the remedy described in Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations) and may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent from Tenant as it becomes due hereunder. The “worth at the time of the award” within the meaning of Subparagraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Tenant waives redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179 (or any successor or substitute statute), or under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default of Tenant hereunder. Tenant hereby waives for Tenant and for all those claiming under Tenant all rights now or hereafter existing to redeem by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after any termination of this Lease.

21.3 Rights and Remedies Cumulative: The foregoing rights and remedies of Landlord are not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter existing at law, in equity by statute or otherwise, or to any equitable remedies Landlord may have, and to any remedies Landlord may have under bankruptcy laws or laws affecting creditors’ rights generally. In addition to all remedies set forth above, if Tenant materially defaults under this Lease, all options granted to Tenant hereunder shall automatically terminate, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Landlord.

25

22. HOLDING OVER.

If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, with or without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term under this Lease. Such month-to- month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Landlord hereby expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 22 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, and Landlord has provided Tenant with notice of a pending tenancy, then in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord harmless from all Claims resulting from such failure.

23. LANDLORD’S DEFAULT.

Landlord shall not be considered in default of this Lease unless Landlord fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be performed by Landlord hereunder. For purposes hereof, a reasonable time shall not be less than thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice specifying the nature of the obligation Landlord has not performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days, after receipt of written notice, is reasonably necessary for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default of this Lease if performance of such obligation is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.

24. ARBITRATION.

The parties agree that any and all non-monetary disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Lease that are not resolved by mutual agreement shall be submitted to mediation before JAMS, Inc. or its successor (“JAMS”). The parties agree to mediate any claims or disputes for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date that the matter is submitted for mediation. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement through mediation, then either party may submit the matter to JAMS for final, binding arbitration, pursuant to the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sec. 1 et seq. Either party may commence the mediation/arbitration process called for in this Lease by filling a written demand for mediation with JAMS, with a copy to the other party. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of JAMS Streamline Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time of filing the demand for arbitration. In the event of any conflict between the United States Arbitration Act and the JAMS Streamline Arbitration Rules, the JAMS rules shall prevail. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting a mediator and an arbitrator from JAMS’s panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the mediation and arbitration proceedings. The mediator and the arbitrator shall not be the same neutral. The parties covenant that they will participate in the mediation and arbitration in good faith. The costs of the mediation will be borne equally by both parties; the costs of the arbitration shall be borne by the losing party. The provisions of this Section may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

26

25. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST.

If there is any sale or other transfer of the Premises or any other portion of the Property by Landlord or any of Landlord’s interest therein, Landlord will automatically be entirely released from all liability under this Lease upon transfer of Security Deposit to the new transferee and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder after the date of such transfer. A ground lease or similar long-term lease by Landlord of the entire Building, of which the Premises are a part, shall be deemed a sale within the meaning of this Section 25. Tenant agrees to attorn to such new owner provided such new owner does not disturb Tenant’s use, occupancy, or quiet enjoyment of the Premises so long as Tenant is not in material default of any of the provisions of this Lease.

26. WAIVER.

No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of either party on any default by the other party shall impair such a right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. The subsequent acceptance of Rent by Landlord after default by Tenant of this Lease will not be deemed a waiver of such default, other than a waiver of timely payment for the particular Rent payment involved, and does not prevent Landlord from maintaining an unlawful detainer or other action based on such breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly Rent and other sums due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest Rent or other sums due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or accompanying any check or payment 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 other sum or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. No failure, partial exercise, or delay on the part of the Landlord in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

27. CASUALTY DAMAGE.

27.1 Casualty: If the Premises or any part thereof [excluding any of Tenant’s Property, any Tenant Improvements and any Alterations installed by or for the benefit of Tenant (collectively, the “Tenant’s FF&E”)] shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by Landlord of such notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, whether the necessary repairs can reasonably be made, as reasonably determined by Landlord: (a) within one hundred eighty (180) days; or (b) in more than one hundred eighty (180) days, from the date of such notice.

27.1.1 Minor Insured Damage: If the Premises (other than the Tenant’s FF&E) are damaged only to such extent that repairs, rebuilding and/or restoration can be reasonably completed one hundred eighty (180) days, this Lease shall not terminate and, provided that insurance proceeds are available and paid to Landlord to fully repair the damage and/or Tenant otherwise voluntarily contributes any shortfall thereof to Landlord, Landlord shall repair the

27

Premises to substantially the same condition that existed prior to the occurrence of such casualty, except Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any of Tenant’s FF&E. The Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately from the date and to the extent Tenant vacates the affected portions of the Premises until any and all repairs required herein to be made by Landlord are substantially completed but such abatement shall only be to the extent (i) of the portion of the Premises which is actually rendered unusable and unfit for occupancy and only during the time Tenant is not actually using same, and (ii) Landlord receives rental abatement insurance proceeds therefore.

27.1.2 Major Insured Damage: If the Premises (other than the Tenant’s FF&E) are damaged to such extent that repairs, rebuilding and/or restoration cannot be reasonably completed, as reasonably determined by Landlord, within two hundred seventy (270) days, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice within twenty (20) days after notice from Landlord regarding the time period of repair. If either party notifies the other of its intention to so terminate the Lease, then this Lease will terminate and the Rent will be abated from the date of the occurrence of such damage, provided Tenant diligently proceeds to and expeditiously vacates the Premises (but, in all events Tenant must vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord by no later than ten (10) business days thereafter or there shall not be any abatement of Rent until Tenant so vacates the Premises). If neither party elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repairs to the Premises, provided insurance proceeds are available and paid to Landlord to fully repair the damage or Tenant voluntarily contributes any shortfall thereof to Landlord (except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any of Tenant’s FF&E). During the time when Landlord is prosecuting such repairs to substantial completion, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately from the date and to the extent Tenant actually vacates the affected portions of the Premises until any and all repairs required herein to be made by Landlord are substantially completed but such abatement shall only be to the extent (i) of the portion of the Premises which is actually rendered unusable and unfit for occupancy and only during the time Tenant is not actually using same, and (ii) Landlord receives rental abatement insurance proceeds therefore.

27.1.3 Damage Near End of Term: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease except for the provisions of Section 27.3 below, if the Premises are substantially damaged or destroyed during the last year of then applicable term of this Lease and, at the time of the damage or casualty, no notice regarding the exercise of any Option has been delivered by Tenant, then either Landlord or Tenant may, at their option, cancel and terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party of its election to do so within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of notice from Tenant of the occurrence of such casualty. If either party so elects to terminate this Lease, all rights of Tenant hereunder shall cease and terminate ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt or delivery of such notice, as applicable, and Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and surrender possession thereof to Landlord.

27.2 Uninsured Casualty: If any portion of the Premises is damaged and is not fully covered by the aggregate of insurance proceeds received by Landlord and any applicable deductible, and Tenant does not voluntarily contribute any shortfall thereof to Landlord, or if the holder of any indebtedness secured by the Premises requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of notice to Tenant of any such event, whereupon all rights and obligations of Tenant shall cease and terminate hereunder, except for those obligations expressly provided for in this Lease to survive such termination of the Lease.

28

27.3 Tenant’s Fault and Lender’s Rights: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Premises (other than Tenant’s FF&E) or any other portion of the Building be damaged by fire or other casualty conclusively determined to have been resulting from the intentional or sole gross negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Representatives, (i) the Rent shall not be diminished during the repair of such damage, (ii) Tenant shall not have any right to terminate this Lease due to the occurrence of such casualty or damage, and (iii) Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the cost and expense of the repair and restoration of all or any portion of the Building caused thereby (including, without limitation, any deductible) to the extent such cost and expense is not covered by insurance proceeds.

27.4 Tenant’s Waiver: So long as Landlord is using commercially reasonable efforts to complete the repairs and renovations needed as a result of a casualty event, Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, injury to the business of Tenant, loss of use of any part of the Premises by Tenant or loss of Tenant’s Property, resulting in any way from such damage, destruction or the repair thereof, except that, Landlord shall allow Tenant a fair diminution of Rent during the time and to the extent the Premises are actually unusable and unfit for occupancy and Tenant is not using or otherwise occupying same as specifically provided above in this Section 27. With respect to any damage or destruction which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair, Tenant hereby waives all rights to terminate this Lease or offset any amounts against Rent pursuant to rights accorded Tenant by any law currently existing or hereafter enacted, including but not limited to, all rights pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1932(2.), 1933(4.), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time.

28. CONDEMNATION.

If fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises is condemned by eminent domain, inversely condemned or sold in lieu of condemnation for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (“Condemned”), then either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice as of the date when physical possession of the Premises is taken and title vests in such condemning authority, and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination. Tenant shall not because of such condemnation assert any claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for any compensation because of such condemnation, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate of interest or other interest of Tenant; provided, however, the foregoing provisions shall not preclude Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, from obtaining any separate award to Tenant for loss of or damage to Tenant’s Property or for damages for cessation or interruption of Tenant’s business provided such award is separate from Landlord’s award and provided further such separate award does not diminish nor otherwise impair the award otherwise payable to Landlord. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to seek compensation for the relocation costs recoverable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section 7262. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, if necessary, promptly proceed to restore the Premises or the

29

Building, as applicable, to substantially its same condition prior to such partial condemnation, allowing for the reasonable effects of such partial condemnation, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant, as solely determined by Landlord, for the Rent corresponding to the time during that, and to the part of the Premises of that, Tenant is deprived on account of the partial condemnation and restoration. Landlord is not required to spend funds for restoration in excess of the amount received by Landlord as compensation awarded.

29. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS/HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

Tenant must strictly comply with all statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and precautions now or hereafter mandated or advised by any federal, state, local or other governmental agency (collectively, “Environmental Laws”) with respect to the use, generation, storage, or disposal of hazardous, toxic, or radioactive materials (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”). As herein used, Hazardous Materials shall include, but not be limited to, those materials identified in Sections 66680 through 66685 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations, Division 4, Chapter 30, as amended from time to time, and those substances defined as “hazardous substances,” “hazardous materials, “hazardous wastes,” “chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity,” “radioactive materials,” or other similar designations in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. Section 1801 et seq., 33 U.S.C. Section 1251 et seq., 42 U.S.C. Section 300(f) et seq., 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., California Health and Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq., California Water Code Section 13000 et seq., California Health and Safety Code Section 39000 et seq. and any other Environmental Laws now or hereafter in effect. Tenant shall not cause, or allow anyone else to cause, any Hazardous Materials to be used, generated, stored, or disposed of on or about the Premises, the Building, or the Property other than reasonable quantities of office and cleaning supplies in their retail containers. Tenant shall defend (with counsel approved by Landlord), indemnify and hold Landlord, its trustees, employees and agents, any entity having a security interest in the Premises, the Building, or the Property, and its and their employees and agents (collectively, “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against, and shall reimburse the Indemnitees for, all liabilities, claims, costs, damages, and depreciation of property value, including all foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages, directly or indirectly arising out of the use, generation, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant, including, without limitation, the cost of any required or necessary investigation, monitoring, repair, cleanup, or detoxification and the preparation of any closure or other required plans, whether such action is required or necessary prior to or following the termination of this Lease, as well as penalties, fines and claims for contribution to the full extent that such action is attributable, directly or indirectly, to the use, generation, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant. Neither the consent by Landlord to the use, generation, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and precautions pertaining to Hazardous Materials shall excuse Tenant from Tenant’s obligation of indemnification set forth above. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 29 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

30

30. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

Tenant and any permitted Transferee, within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s request therefore, but not more often than once annually so long as Tenant is not in material default of this Lease, shall deliver to Landlord the then current audited financial statements of Tenant (including interim periods following the end of the last fiscal year for which annual statements are available. If audited financial statements have not been prepared, Tenant and any permitted Transferee shall provide Landlord with certified, unaudited financial statements and such other information, the type and form of which are acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, which reflects the financial condition of Tenant and any permitted Transferee. Landlord shall maintain the confidentiality of the financial statements provided by Tenant hereunder.

31. SIGNS.

All signs and graphics of every kind visible in or from public view or corridors or the exterior of the Premises shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval and shall be subject to and in compliance with all applicable Laws and the Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall have the right to install a sign on the ground floor entry door, subject to the requirements of this Section. Tenant shall also have the right to listing on the directory board in the lobby area. The lobby directory will be maintained at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. In addition, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to install “eyebrow” signs on the Building that are facing the street, provided that Landlord shall have the right to reasonably approve the signage and Tenant must obtain all applicable approvals and permits for the City of Emeryville.

32. COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER LINES.

Tenant may install, maintain, replace or remove any communications or computer wires and cables (collectively, the “Lines”) to serve the Premises, provided that (i) Tenant has obtained Landlord’s prior written consent, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion; (ii) Tenant uses an experienced and qualified contractor, approved in writing by Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion; (iii) Landlord complies with all other provisions of Sections 10 and 11 of this Lease; (iv) the Lines must be appropriately insulated to prevent excess electromagnetic fields or radiation and shall be surrounded by a protective conduit; and (v) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith. As a condition precedent to the installation of new Lines, Landlord may require that Tenant remove the Lines upon the expiration of the Lease.

33. MORTGAGE OF TENANT’S LEASEHOLD INTEREST.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may not, without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber the leasehold interest granted under this Lease, whether voluntary of by operation of law. Any mortgage effected without the approval of Landlord shall constitute a material default under the Lease. Landlord’s approval will not be construed to require Landlord to provide any leasehold mortgagee with any notice of default or otherwise under this Lease.

31

34. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.

Upon any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give written Notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee of a mortgage covering the Premises who has provided Tenant with notice of their interest and an address for receiving Notice, and shall offer such beneficiary or mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Premises by power of sale or a judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure. If such default cannot be cured within such time period, then such additional time as may be necessary will be given to such beneficiary or mortgagee to effect such cure so long as such beneficiary or mortgagee has commenced the cure within the original time period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion, in which event this Lease shall not be terminated while such cure is being diligently pursued. Tenant agrees that each lender to whom this Lease has been assigned by Landlord is an express third party beneficiary hereof. Tenant shall not make any prepayment of Rent more than one (1) month in advance without the prior written consent of each such lender, except if Tenant is required to make quarterly payments of Rent in advance pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 above. Tenant waives the collection of any deposit from such lender(s) or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale of such lender(s)’ deed of trust unless the lender(s) or such purchaser shall have actually received and not refunded the deposit. Tenant agrees to make all payments under this Lease to the lender with the most senior encumbrance upon receiving a direction, in writing, to pay said amounts to such lender. Tenant shall comply with such written direction to pay without determining whether an event of default exists under such lender’s loan to Landlord. If, in connection with obtaining financing for the Premises or any other portion of the Property, Landlord’s lender shall request reasonable modification(s) to this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided such modifications do not materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights hereunder, the Rent, Term or the use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of Tenant hereunder.

35. WARRANTIES.

Tenant hereby warrants and represents to Landlord, for the express benefit of Landlord, that Tenant has undertaken a complete and independent evaluation of the risks inherent in the execution of this Lease and the operation of the Premises for the use permitted hereby, and that, based upon said independent evaluation, Tenant has elected to enter into this Lease and hereby assumes all risks with respect thereto. Tenant hereby further warrants and represents to Landlord, for the express benefit of Landlord, that in entering into this Lease, Tenant has not relied upon any statement, fact, promise or representation (whether express or implied, written or oral) not specifically set forth herein in writing and that any statement, fact, promise or representation (whether express or implied, written or oral) made at any time to Tenant, which is not expressly incorporated herein in writing, is hereby waived by Tenant.

32

36. BROKERAGE COMMISSION.

Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants for the benefit of the other that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker, agent or finder in connection with the Premises and/or the negotiation of this Lease, except for the Broker(s) specified in the Basic Lease Information, and that it knows of no other real estate broker, agent or finder who is or might be entitled to a real estate brokerage commission or finder’s fee in connection with this Lease or otherwise based upon contacts between the claimant and Tenant. Each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and all liabilities or expenses arising out of claims made for a fee or commission by any real estate broker, agent or finder in connection with the Premises and this Lease other than Broker(s), if any, resulting from the actions of the indemnifying party. Unless expressly agreed to in writing by Landlord and Broker(s), no real estate brokerage commission or finder’s fee shall be owed to, or otherwise payable to, the Broker(s) for any renewals or other extensions of the initial Term of this Lease or for any additional space leased by Tenant other than the Premises as same exists as of the Lease Date. Tenant further represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant will not receive (i) any portion of any brokerage commission or finder’s fee payable to the Broker(s) in connection with this Lease or (ii) any other form of compensation or incentive from the Broker(s) with respect to this Lease.

37. QUIET ENJOYMENT.

Landlord covenants with Tenant, upon the paying of Rent and observing and keeping the covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease on its part to be kept, and during the periods that Tenant is not otherwise in default of any of the terms or provisions of this Lease, and subject to the rights of any of Landlord’s lenders, (i) that Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Term of this Lease, and (ii) neither Landlord, nor any successor or assign of Landlord, shall disturb Tenant’s occupancy or enjoyment of the Premises. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant express or implied.

38. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

38.1 Time. Time is of the essence in this Lease and with respect to each and all of its provisions in which performance is a factor.

38.2 Successors and Assigns. The covenants and conditions herein contained, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto.

38.3 Recordation. Tenant shall not record this Lease or a short form memorandum hereof.

38.4 Landlord Exculpation. The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease, except for a failure of Landlord to transfer the Security Deposit to any successor to Landlord, shall be limited to the actual interest of Landlord and its present or future partners or members in the Building, and Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Building for satisfaction of any liability and shall not look to other assets of Landlord nor seek any recourse against the assets of the individual partners, members, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees of Landlord, including without limitation, any property management company of Landlord (collectively, the “Landlord Parties”). It is the parties’ intention that Landlord and the Landlord Parties shall not in any event or circumstance be personally liable, in any manner whatsoever, for any judgment or deficiency hereunder or with respect to this Lease. The liability of Landlord under this Lease is limited to its actual period of ownership of title to the Building.

33

The Tenant Improvement Allowance may be used for all actual costs incurred performing the Work, including without limitation architecture, design, engineering, and permitting (collectively, “Soft Costs”); provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of Soft Costs exceed ten percent (10%) of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In no event will Landlord be obligated for any costs in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. No credit will be given for any unused portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

Provided that Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable grace period, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed to Tenant, or as designated by Tenant, to Tenant’s architect and/or General Contractor, on a monthly basis for costs theretofore incurred by Tenant for which the Tenant Improvement Allowance is applicable within thirty (30) days after Tenant has provided Landlord with a written request for such payment, together with (i) copies of all government approvals theretofore required, (ii) confirmation of the portion of the Work theretofore completed, certified by Tenant’s architect and/or General Contractor, as appropriate, on standard AIA forms and (iii) partial lien waivers (conditioned solely on payment of the payment amount requested) and progress payment affidavits from General Contractor and from all subcontractors. Landlord shall be permitted to hold a retainage equal to the greater of 10% of any payment or the retainage amount specified in the contract with General Contractor. Landlord shall not be required to make final payment of the Allowance until thirty (30) days after Tenant has taken occupancy of the Premises and Landlord has received, in addition to the items required under clauses (i) and (ii) above, final lien waivers and affidavits from General Contractor and all subcontractors.
