ARTICLE II. PREMISES


 


SECTION 2.1.      LEASED
PREMISES. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant rents from Landlord the premises shown in Exhibit A (the “Premises”),
containing approximately the floor area set forth in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions and known by the suite number identified
in Item 2 of the Basic Lease Provisions. The Premises are located in the building identified in Item 2 of the Basic Lease Provisions
(the “Building”), which is a portion of the project described in Item 2 (the “Project”). If, upon completion
of the space plans for the Premises, Landlord’s architect or space planner determines that the rentable square footage of
the Premises differs from that set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions, then Landlord shall so notify Tenant and the Basic Rent
(as shown in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions) shall be promptly adjusted in proportion to the change in square footage. Within
five (5) days following Landlord’s request, the parties shall memorialize the adjustments by executing an amendment to this
Lease prepared by Landlord.


 


SECTION 2.2.      ACCEPTANCE
OF PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any representative of Landlord has made any representation or warranty
with respect to the Premises or the Building or the suitability or fitness of either for any purpose, except as set forth in this
Lease. The taking of possession or use of the Premises by Tenant for any purpose other than construction shall conclusively establish
that the Premises and the Building were in satisfactory condition and in conformity with the provisions of this Lease in all respects,
except for those matters which Tenant shall have brought to Landlord’s attention on a written punch list. The list shall
be limited to any items required to be accomplished by Landlord under the Work Letter (if any) attached as Exhibit X, and shall
be delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the term (“Term”) of this Lease commences as provided in Article
III below. Nothing contained in this Section shall affect the commencement of the Term or the obligation of Tenant to pay rent.
Landlord shall diligently complete all punch list items of which it is notified as provided above.


 


SECTION 2.3.      BUILDING
NAME, ADDRESS AND DEPICTION. Tenant shall not utilize any name selected by Landlord from time to time for the Building and/or
the Project as any part of Tenant’s corporate or trade name. Landlord shall have the right to change the name, number or
designation of the Building or Project without liability to Tenant. Tenant shall not use any picture of the Building in its advertising,
stationery or in any other manner.


 


ARTICLE III. TERM


 


SECTION 3.1.      GENERAL.
The Term shall be for the period shown in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions. The Term shall commence (“Commencement Date”)
on the earlier of (a) the date the Premises are deemed ready for occupancy in accordance with Section 3.2, or (b) the date Tenant
commences its business activities within the Premises. Promptly following request by Landlord, the parties shall memorialize on
a form provided by Landlord (the "Commencement Memorandum") the actual Commencement Date and the expiration date (“Expiration
Date") of this Lease; should Tenant fail to execute and return the Commencement Memorandum to Landlord within five (5) business
days (or provide specific written objections thereto within that period), then Landlord's determination of the Commencement and
Expiration Dates as set forth in the Commencement Memorandum shall be conclusive.


 


SECTION 3.2.      DELAY
IN POSSESSION. If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the
Estimated Commencement Date set forth in Item 4 of the Basic Lease Provisions, this Lease shall not be void or voidable nor shall
Landlord be liable to Tenant for any resulting loss or damage. However, Tenant shall not be liable for any rent and the Commencement
Date shall not occur until Landlord delivers possession of the Premises and the Premises are in fact ready for occupancy as defined
below, except that if Landlord’s failure to so deliver possession is attributable to any action or inaction by Tenant (including
without limitation any Tenant Delay described in the Work Letter, if any, attached to this Lease), then the Premises shall be deemed
ready for occupancy, and Landlord shall be entitled to full performance by Tenant (including the payment of rent), as of the date
Landlord would have been able to deliver the Premises to Tenant but for Tenant’s delay(s). Subject to the foregoing, the
Premises shall be deemed ready for occupancy if and when Landlord, to the extent applicable, (a) has put into operation all building
services essential for the use of the Premises by Tenant, (b) has provided reasonable access to the Premises for Tenant so that
they may be used without unnecessary interference, (c) has substantially completed all the work required to be done by Landlord
in this Lease, and (d) has obtained requisite governmental approvals to Tenant’s occupancy.

ARTICLE IV. RENT AND OPERATING EXPENSES


 


SECTION 4.1.      BASIC
RENT. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord without deduction or offset a Basic Rent for the Premises
in the total amount shown (including subsequent adjustments, if any) in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions. If the Commencement
Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, any rental adjustment shown in Item 6 shall be deemed to occur on the first
day of the next calendar month following the specified monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date. The rent shall be due and
payable in advance commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter on the first day of each successive calendar month
of the Term, as prorated for any partial month. No demand, notice or invoice shall be required. An installment of rent in the amount
of one (1) full month’s Basic Rent at the initial rate specified in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions shall be delivered
to Landlord concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease and shall be applied against the Basic Rent first due hereunder;
the next installment of Basic Rent shall be due on the first day of the second calendar month of the Term, which installment shall,
if applicable, be appropriately prorated to reflect the amount prepaid for that calendar month.


 


SECTION 4.2.      OPERATING
EXPENSE INCREASE.


 


(a)          Tenant
shall compensate Landlord, as additional rent, for Tenant’s proportionate shares of “Building Costs” and “Property
Taxes,” as those terms are defined below, incurred by Landlord in the operation of the Building and Project. Property Taxes
and Building Costs are mutually exclusive and may be billed separately or in combination as determined by Landlord. Tenant’s
proportionate share of Property Taxes shall equal the product of the rentable floor area of the Premises multiplied by the difference
of (i) Property Taxes per rentable square foot less (ii) the Property Tax Base set forth in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions.
Tenant’s proportionate share of Building Costs shall equal the product of the rentable floor area of the Premises multiplied
by the difference of (i) Building Costs per rentable square foot less (ii) the Building Cost Base set forth in Item 7 of the Basic
Lease Provisions. Tenant acknowledges Landlord’s rights to make changes or additions to the Building and/or Project from
time to time pursuant to Section 6.5 below, in which event the total rentable square footage within the Building and/or Project
may be adjusted. For convenience of reference, Property Taxes and Building Costs may sometimes be collectively referred to as “Operating
Expenses.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall not be responsible for Tenant’s
proportionate share of Operating Expense excess accruing during the 12 month period commencing as of the Commencement Date.


 


(b)          Commencing
prior to the start of the first full “Expense Recovery Period” of the Lease (as defined in Item 7 of the Basic Lease
Provisions), and prior to the start of each full or partial Expense Recovery Period thereafter, Landlord shall give Tenant a written
estimate of the amount of Tenant’s proportionate shares of Building Costs and Property Taxes for the Expense Recovery Period
or portion thereof. Tenant shall pay the estimated amounts to Landlord in equal monthly installments, in advance, with Basic Rent.
If Landlord has not furnished its written estimate for any Expense Recovery Period by the time set forth above, Tenant shall continue
to pay cost reimbursements at the rates established for the prior Expense Recovery Period, if any; provided that when the new estimate
is delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall, at the next monthly payment date, pay any accrued cost reimbursements based upon the new
estimate. Landlord may from time to time change the Expense Recovery Period to reflect a calendar year or a new fiscal year of
Landlord, as applicable, in which event Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses shall be equitably prorated for any partial
year.


 


(c)          Within
one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Expense Recovery Period, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement setting
forth the actual or prorated Property Taxes and Building Costs attributable to that period, and the parties shall within thirty
(30) days thereafter make any payment or allowance necessary to adjust Tenant’s estimated payments, if any, to Tenant’s
actual proportionate shares as shown by the annual statement. Any amounts due Tenant shall be applied as a credit against the rent
next due or, at Landlord’s option, refunded to Tenant. If Tenant has not made estimated payments during the Expense Recovery
Period, any amount owing by Tenant pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be paid to Landlord in accordance with Article XVI. If
actual Property Taxes or Building Costs allocable to Tenant during any Expense Recovery Period are less than the Property Tax Base
or the Building Cost Base, respectively, Landlord shall not be required to pay that differential to Tenant, although Landlord shall
refund any applicable estimated payments collected from Tenant. Should Tenant fail to object in writing to Landlord’s determination
of actual Operating Expenses within sixty (60) days following delivery of Landlord’s expense statement, Landlord’s
determination of actual Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery Period shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant.


 


(d)          Even
though the Lease has terminated and the Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s
share of Property Taxes and Building Costs for the Expense Recovery Period in which the Lease terminates, Tenant shall upon notice
pay the entire increase due over the estimated expenses paid; conversely, any overpayment made in the event expenses decrease shall
be rebated by Landlord to Tenant. However, in lieu thereof, Landlord may deliver a reasonable estimate of the anticipated reconciliation
amount to Tenant prior to the expiration of the Term, in which event the appropriate party shall fund that amount by the termination
date.


 



    	4



    	 



    

 


(e)          If,
at any time during any Expense Recovery Period, any one or more of the Operating Expenses are increased to a rate(s) or amount(s)
in excess of the rate(s) or amount(s) used in calculating the estimated expenses for the year, then Tenant’s estimated share
of Property Taxes or Building Costs, as applicable, shall be increased for the month in which the increase becomes effective and
for all succeeding months by an amount equal to Tenant’s proportionate share of the increase. Landlord shall give Tenant
written notice of the amount or estimated amount of the increase, the month in which the increase will become effective, Tenant’s
monthly share thereof and the months for which the payments are due. Tenant shall pay the increase to Landlord as a part of Tenant’s
monthly payments of estimated expenses as provided in paragraph (b) above, commencing with the month in which effective.


 


(f)          The
term “Building Costs” shall include all charges and expenses pertaining to the operation, management, maintenance and
repair of the Building and the Project, together with all appurtenant Common Areas (as defined in Section 6.2), and shall include
the following charges by way of illustration but not limitation: water and sewer charges; insurance premiums or reasonable premium
equivalents should Landlord elect to self-insure any risk or deductible that Landlord is authorized to insure hereunder; license,
permit, and inspection fees; heat; light; power; janitorial services; the cost of equipping, staffing and operating an on-site
and/or off-site management office for the Building and Project; all labor and labor-related costs for personnel applicable to the
Building and Project, including both Landlord's personnel and outside personnel; a commercially reasonable Landlord overhead/management
fee; reasonable fees for consulting services; access control/security costs, inclusive of the reasonable cost of improvements made
to enhance access control systems and procedures; repairs; air conditioning; supplies; materials; equipment; tools; tenant services;
programs instituted to comply with transportation management requirements; any expense incurred pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.2,
6.4, 7.2, and 10.2 and Exhibits B and C below; costs incurred (capital or otherwise) on a regular recurring basis every three (3)
or more years for normal maintenance projects (e.g., parking lot slurry coat or replacement of lobby, corridor and elevator cab
carpets and coverings); and the amortized cost of capital improvements (as distinguished from replacement parts or components installed
in the ordinary course of business) which are intended to maintain the quality, appearance or safety of the Building and/or Project,
reduce other operating costs or increases thereof, or upgrade Building and/or Project security, or which are required to bring
the Building and/or Project into compliance with applicable laws and building codes. Landlord shall amortize the cost of capital
improvements on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the Payback Period (as defined below) or the useful life of the capital
improvement as reasonably determined by Landlord. Any amortized Building Cost item may include, at Landlord's option, an actual
or imputed interest rate that Landlord would reasonably be required to pay to finance the cost of the item, applied on the unamortized
balance. "Payback Period" shall mean the reasonably estimated period of time that it takes for the cost savings, if any,
resulting from a capital improvement item to equal the total cost of the capital improvement. It is understood that Building Costs
shall include competitive charges for direct services provided by any subsidiary or division of Landlord. If any Building Cost
is applicable to one or more buildings or properties in addition to the Building, then that cost shall be equitably prorated and
apportioned among the Building and such other buildings or properties. The term “Property Taxes” as used herein shall
include the following: (i) all real estate taxes or personal property taxes, as such property taxes may be reassessed from time
to time; and (ii) other taxes, charges and assessments which are levied with respect to this Lease or to the Building and/or the
Project, and any improvements, fixtures and equipment and other property of Landlord located in the Building and/or the Project,
except that general net income and franchise taxes imposed against Landlord shall be excluded; and (iii) any tax, surcharge or
assessment which shall be levied in addition to or in lieu of real estate or personal property taxes, other than taxes covered
by Article VIII; and (iv) costs and expenses incurred in contesting the amount or validity of any Property Tax by appropriate proceedings.
A copy of Landlord’s unaudited statement of expenses shall be made available to Tenant upon request. The Building Costs,
inclusive of those for the Base Year, shall be extrapolated by Landlord to reflect at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy
of the rentable area of the Building.


 


(g)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall exclude the following:


 


(i)          Any
ground lease rental;


 


(ii)         Costs
incurred by Landlord with respect to goods and services other than parking (including utilities sold and supplied to tenants and
occupants of the Building) to the extent that Landlord is entitled to reimbursement for such costs other than through the Operating
Expense pass-through provisions of such tenants' lease;


 


(iii)        Costs
incurred by Landlord for repairs, replacements and/or restoration to or of the Building to the extent that Landlord is reimbursed
by insurance or condemnation proceeds or by tenants (other than through Operating Expense pass-throughs), warrantors or other third
persons;


 


(iv)        Costs,
including permit, license and inspection costs, incurred with respect to the installation of tenant improvements made for other
tenants in the Building or incurred in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating, painting or redecorating vacant space for
tenants or other occupants of the Building;


 


(v)         Costs
arising from Landlord's charitable or political contributions;

occupants of the Building, except those attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with negotiations,
disputes or claims relating to items of Operating Expenses, enforcement of rules and regulations of the Building and such other
matters relating to the maintenance of standards required of Landlord under this Lease;


 


(vii)       Capital
expenditures as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, except as otherwise
provided in subsection (f) above;


 


(viii)      Brokers
commissions, finders' fees, attorneys' fees, entertainment and travel expenses and other costs incurred by Landlord in leasing
or attempting to lease space in the Building;


 


(ix)         Expenses
in connection with services or other benefits which are not offered to Tenant or for which Tenant is charged for directly but which
are provided to another tenant or occupant of the Building;


 


(x)          Costs,
fines or penalties incurred by Landlord due to the violation by Landlord of (i) any governmental rule or regulation (provided that
costs of complying with such governmental requirements may be included unless otherwise provided herein) or (ii) the terms and
conditions of any lease of space in the Building;


 


(xi)         Overhead
and profit increments paid to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for services provided to the Building to the extent the same
exceeds the costs that would generally be charged for such services if rendered on a competitive basis (based upon a standard of
similar office buildings in the general market area of the Premises) by unaffiliated third parties capable of providing such service;


 


(xii)        Interest
on debt or amortization on any mortgage or mortgages encumbering the Building;


 


(xiii)       Landlord's
general corporate overhead, except as it relates to the specific management of the Building or Project;


 


(xiv)      Costs
of installing the initial landscaping and the initial sculpture, paintings and objects of art for the Building and Project; and


 


(xv)       Advertising
expenditures.


 


SECTION 4.3.      SECURITY
DEPOSIT. Concurrently with Tenant’s delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum, if any, stated
in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions (the “Security Deposit”), to be held by Landlord as security for the full and
faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease to pay any rental sums, including without limitation such additional
rent as may be owing under any provision hereof, and to maintain the Premises as required by Sections 7.1 and 15.3 or any other
provision of this Lease. For purposes of the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil
Code to the contrary, rental sums shall include prospective rent that would have been payable by Tenant but for the early termination
of this Lease due to Tenant's default or insolvency. Upon any breach of the foregoing obligations by Tenant, Landlord may apply
all or part of the Security Deposit as full or partial compensation. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so applied, Tenant
shall within five (5) days after written demand by Landlord deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security
Deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall not be required to keep this Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and
Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. In no event may Tenant utilize all or any portion of the Security
Deposit as a payment toward any rental sum due under this Lease. Any unapplied balance of the Security Deposit shall be returned
to Tenant or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest in this Lease within thirty (30) days
following the termination of this Lease and Tenant's vacation of the Premises.

ARTICLE V. USES


 


SECTION 5.1.      USE.
Tenant shall use the Premises only for the purposes stated in Item 3 of the Basic Lease Provisions. The parties agree that any
contrary use shall be deemed to cause material and irreparable harm to Landlord and shall entitle Landlord to injunctive relief
in addition to any other available remedy. The uses prohibited under this Lease shall include, without limitation, use of the Premises
or a portion thereof for (i) offices of any agency or bureau of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof;
(ii) offices or agencies of any foreign governmental or political subdivision thereof; (iii) offices of any health care professionals
or service organization; (iv) schools, temporary employment agencies or other training facilities which are not ancillary to corporate,
executive or professional office use; (v) retail or restaurant uses; or (vi) communications firms such as radio and/or television
stations. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way interfere with the rights
or quiet enjoyment of other occupants of the Building or the Project, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful
purpose, nor shall Tenant permit any nuisance or commit any waste in the Premises or the Project. Tenant shall not do or permit
to be done anything which will invalidate or increase the cost of any insurance policy(ies) covering the Building, the Project
and/or their contents, and shall comply with all applicable insurance underwriters rules. Tenant shall comply at its expense with
all present and future laws, ordinances and requirements of all governmental authorities that pertain to Tenant or its use of the
Premises, including without limitation all federal and state occupational health and safety and handicap access requirements, whether
or not Tenant’s compliance will necessitate expenditures or interfere with its use and enjoyment of the Premises. Tenant
shall not generate, handle, store or dispose of hazardous or toxic materials (as such materials may be identified in any federal,
state or local law or regulation) in the Premises or Project without the prior written consent of Landlord; provided that the foregoing
shall not be deemed to proscribe the use by Tenant of customary office supplies in normal quantities so long as such use comports
with all applicable laws. Tenant agrees that it shall promptly complete and deliver to Landlord any disclosure form regarding hazardous
or toxic materials that may be required by any governmental agency. Tenant shall also, from time to time upon request by Landlord,
execute such affidavits concerning Tenant’s best knowledge and belief regarding the presence of hazardous or toxic materials
in the Premises. Landlord shall have the right at any time to perform an assessment of the environmental condition of the Premises
and of Tenant’s compliance with this Section. As part of any such assessment, Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable
prior notice to Tenant, to enter and inspect the Premises and to perform tests, provided those tests are performed in a manner
that minimizes disruption to Tenant. Tenant will cooperate with Landlord in connection with any assessment by, among other things,
promptly responding to inquiries and providing relevant documentation and records. The reasonable cost of the assessment/testing
shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord if such assessment/testing determines that Tenant failed to comply with the requirements
of this Section. In all events Tenant shall indemnify each of the “Indemnified Parties” (as defined in Section 10.3)
in the manner elsewhere provided in this Lease from any release of hazardous or toxic materials caused by Tenant, its agents, employees,
contractors, subtenants or licensees. The foregoing covenants shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.


 


SECTION 5.2.      SIGNS.
Landlord shall affix and maintain a sign (restricted solely to Tenant’s name as set forth herein or such other name as Landlord
may consent to in writing) adjacent to the entry door of the Premises, together with a directory listing of Tenant's name as set
forth herein in the lobby directory of the Building. Any subsequent changes to that initial signage shall be at Tenant's sole expense.
All signage shall conform to the criteria for signs established by Landlord and shall be ordered through Landlord. Tenant shall
not place or allow to be placed any other sign, decoration or advertising matter of any kind that is visible from the exterior
of the Premises. Any violating sign or decoration may be immediately removed by Landlord at Tenant’s expense without notice
and without the removal constituting a breach of this Lease or entitling Tenant to claim damages.


 


ARTICLE VI. LANDLORD SERVICES


 


SECTION 6.1.      UTILITIES
AND SERVICES. Landlord shall furnish to the Premises the utilities and services described in Exhibit B, subject to the conditions
and payment obligations and standards set forth in this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to furnish any services
or utilities when the failure is the result of any accident or other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, nor shall
Landlord be liable for damages resulting from power surges or any breakdown in telecommunications facilities or services. However,
if the Premises, or a material portion of the Premises, are made untenantable for a period in excess of 5 consecutive business
days as a result of a service interruption that is reasonably within the control of Landlord to correct, then Tenant, as its sole
remedy, shall be entitled to receive an abatement of rent payable hereunder during the period beginning on the 6th consecutive
business day of the service interruption and ending on the day the service has been restored. Landlord’s temporary inability
to furnish any services or utilities shall not entitle Tenant to any damages, relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay rent or constitute
a constructive or other eviction of Tenant, except that Landlord shall diligently attempt to restore the service or utility promptly.
Tenant shall comply with all rules and regulations which Landlord may reasonably establish for the provision of services and utilities,
and shall cooperate with all reasonable conservation practices established by Landlord. Landlord shall at all reasonable times
have free access to all electrical and mechanical installations of Landlord.


 


SECTION 6.2.      OPERATION
AND MAINTENANCE OF COMMON AREAS. During the Term, Landlord shall operate all Common Areas within the Building and the Project.
The term “Common Areas” shall mean all areas within the Building and other buildings in the Project which are not held
for exclusive use by persons entitled to occupy space, and all other appurtenant areas and improvements provided by Landlord for
the common use of Landlord and tenants and their respective employees and invitees, including without limitation parking areas
and structures, driveways, sidewalks, loading docks, landscaped and planted areas, hallways and interior stairwells not located
within the premises of any tenant, common entrances and lobbies, elevators, and restrooms not located within the premises of any
tenant.


 



    	7



    	 



    

 


SECTION 6.3.      USE
OF COMMON AREAS. The occupancy by Tenant of the Premises shall include the use of the Common Areas in common with Landlord
and with all others for whose convenience and use the Common Areas may be provided by Landlord, subject, however, to compliance
with all rules and regulations as are prescribed from time to time by Landlord. Landlord shall at all times during the Term have
exclusive control of the Common Areas, and may restrain or permit any use or occupancy, except as otherwise provided in this Lease
or in Landlord’s rules and regulations. Tenant shall keep the Common Areas clear of any obstruction or unauthorized use related
to Tenant’s operations. Landlord may temporarily close any portion of the Common Areas for repairs, remodeling and/or alterations,
to prevent a public dedication or the accrual of prescriptive rights, or for any other reasonable purpose.


 


SECTION 6.4.      PARKING.
Parking shall be provided in accordance with the provisions set forth in Exhibit C to this Lease.


 


SECTION 6.5.      CHANGES
AND ADDITIONS BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves the right to make alterations or additions to the Building or the Project, or
to the attendant fixtures, equipment and Common Areas. No change shall entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent or other claim against
Landlord, provided that the change does not deprive Tenant of reasonable access to or use of the Premises.


 


ARTICLE VII. MAINTAINING THE PREMISES


 


SECTION 7.1.      TENANT’S
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. Subject to Article XI and Section 7.2, Tenant at its sole expense shall make all repairs necessary
to keep the Premises and all improvements and fixtures therein in the condition as existed on the Commencement Date (or on any
later date that the applicable improvements may have been installed), excepting ordinary wear and tear. Notwithstanding Section
7.2 below, Tenant’s maintenance obligation shall include without limitation all appliances, non-building standard lighting/electrical
systems, and plumbing fixtures and installations located within the Premises, together with any supplemental HVAC equipment servicing
only the Premises. All repairs shall be at least equal in quality to the original work, shall be made only by a licensed, bonded
contractor approved in writing in advance by Landlord and shall be made only at the time or times approved by Landlord. Any contractor
utilized by Tenant shall be subject to Landlord’s standard requirements for contractors, as modified from time to time. Landlord
may impose reasonable restrictions and requirements with respect to repairs, as provided in Section 7.3, and the provisions of
Section 7.4 shall apply to all repairs. Alternatively, should Landlord or its management agent agree to make a repair on behalf
of Tenant and at Tenant’s request, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord as additional rent for all costs incurred (including
the standard coordination fee of Landlord’s management agent) upon submission of an invoice.


 


SECTION 7.2.      LANDLORD’S
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. Subject to Article XI, Landlord shall provide service, maintenance and repair with respect to the heating,
ventilating and air conditioning (“HVAC”) equipment of the Building (exclusive of any supplemental HVAC equipment servicing
only the Premises) and shall maintain in good repair the Common Areas, roof, foundations, footings, the exterior surfaces of the
exterior walls of the Building, and the structural, electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems of the Building except as provided
in Section 7.1 above. Landlord shall have the right to employ or designate any reputable person or firm, including any employee
or agent of Landlord or any of Landlord’s affiliates or divisions, to perform any service, repair or maintenance function.
Landlord need not make any other improvements or repairs except as specifically required under this Lease, and nothing contained
in this Section shall limit Landlord’s right to reimbursement from Tenant for maintenance, repair costs and replacement costs
as provided elsewhere in this Lease. Tenant understands that it shall not make repairs at Landlord’s expense or by rental
offset. Except as provided in Sections 11.1 and 12.1 below, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by
reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements
to any portion of the Building, including repairs to the Premises, nor shall any related activity by Landlord constitute an actual
or constructive eviction; provided, however, that in making repairs, alterations or improvements, Landlord shall interfere as little
as reasonably practicable with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises.

SECTION 7.3.      ALTERATIONS.
Except for alteration projects costing less than $5,000.00 and satisfying the criteria in the next following sentence (which work
shall require notice to Landlord, but not Landlord’s consent), Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements
to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld as long
as the proposed changes do not affect the structural, electrical or mechanical components or systems of the Building, are not visible
from the exterior of the Premises, and utilize only building standard materials. Landlord may impose, as a condition to its consent,
any requirements that Landlord in its discretion may deem reasonable or desirable, including but not limited to a requirement that
all work be covered by a lien and completion bond satisfactory to Landlord and requirements as to the manner, time, and contractor
for performance of the work. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall use Landlord’s designated mechanical
and electrical contractors for all work affecting the mechanical or electrical systems of the Building. Should Tenant perform any
work that would necessitate any ancillary Building modification or other expenditure by Landlord, then Tenant shall promptly fund
the cost thereof to Landlord. Tenant shall obtain all required permits for the work and shall perform the work in compliance with
all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances, and Landlord shall be entitled to a supervision fee in the amount of five percent
(5%) of the cost of the work. Under no circumstances shall Tenant make any improvement which incorporates asbestos-containing construction
materials into the Premises. In no event shall Tenant prosecute any alteration work that results in picketing or labor demonstrations
in or about the Building or Project. Any request for Landlord’s consent shall be made in writing and shall contain architectural
plans describing the work in detail reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord may elect to cause its architect to review Tenant’s
architectural plans, and the reasonable cost of that review shall be reimbursed by Tenant. Should the work proposed by Tenant modify
the internal configuration of the Premises, then Tenant shall, at its expense, furnish Landlord with as-built drawings and CAD
disks compatible with Landlord’s systems. Unless Landlord otherwise agrees in writing, all alterations, additions or improvements
affixed to the Premises (excluding moveable trade fixtures and furniture) shall become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered
with the Premises at the end of the Term, except that Landlord may, by notice to Tenant given at the time of Landlord’s consent
to the alteration or improvement, require Tenant to remove by the Expiration Date, or sooner termination date of this Lease, all
or any alterations, decorations, fixtures, additions, improvements and the like installed either by Tenant or by Landlord at Tenant’s
request. Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises arising from that removal and restore the affected area to its pre-existing
condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Landlord may require Tenant to remove an improvement provided as part of the initial
build-out pursuant to Exhibit X, if any, if and only if the improvement is a non-building standard item and Tenant is notified
of the requirement prior to the build-out. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease or in any Exhibit to this Lease, should Landlord
make any alteration or improvement to the Premises at the request of Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to prompt payment from
Tenant of the cost thereof, inclusive of the standard coordination fee of Landlord’s management agent.


 


SECTION 7.4.      MECHANIC’S
LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations
incurred by or for Tenant. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly cause any such lien to be released by posting a bond
in accordance with California Civil Code Section 3143 or any successor statute. In the event that Tenant shall not, within thirty
(30) days following the imposition of any lien, cause the lien to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond,
Landlord shall have, in addition to all other available remedies, the right to cause the lien to be released by any means it deems
proper, including payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to the lien. All expenses so incurred by Landlord, including
Landlord’s attorneys’ fees, shall be reimbursed by Tenant promptly following Landlord’s demand, together with
interest from the date of payment by Landlord at the maximum rate permitted by law until paid. Tenant shall give Landlord no less
than twenty (20) days’ prior notice in writing before commencing construction of any kind on the Premises so that Landlord
may post and maintain notices of nonresponsibility on the Premises.


 


SECTION 7.5.      ENTRY
AND INSPECTION. Landlord shall at all reasonable times have the right to enter the Premises to inspect them, to supply services
in accordance with this Lease, to protect the interests of Landlord in the Premises, to make repairs and renovations as reasonably
deemed necessary by Landlord, and to submit the Premises to prospective or actual purchasers or encumbrance holders (or, during
the final twelve months of the Term or when an uncured Tenant default exists, to prospective tenants), all without being deemed
to have caused an eviction of Tenant and without abatement of rent except as provided elsewhere in this Lease. Landlord shall at
all times have and retain a key which unlocks all of the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes, and
Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in an emergency in order
to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord shall not under any circumstances be deemed
to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or any eviction of Tenant from the Premises.


 


SECTION
7.6.      SPACE PLANNING AND SUBSTITUTION. Landlord shall have the right, upon providing not less than sixty (60) days written notice,
to move Tenant to other space of comparable size in the Building or in the Project. The new space shall be provided with improvements
of comparable quality to those within the Premises and shall contain similar finishes as the
Premises, approximately the same rentable square footage as the Premises and the same number of work stations, offices, breakrooms
and reception areas as are contained in the Premises as of the date Tenant receives Landlord’s notice of relocation. The
total monthly Basic Rent for the new space shall in no event exceed the total monthly Basic Rent for the Premises prior to the
relocation, and Tenant’s proportionate share for the new space shall in no event exceed Tenant’s proportionate share
for the Premises prior to the relocation. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost to install and connect telecommunication
and data cabling in the new space in the manner and to the extent such cabling existed in the Premises prior to the relocation;
provided that Landlord may elect to cause such work to be done by its contractors. Landlord shall also reimburse Tenant for such
other reasonable out-of-pocket costs that Tenant may incur in connection with the relocation, including without limitation necessary
stationery revisions, provided that a reasonable estimate thereof is given to Landlord within twenty (20) days following Landlord’s
notice. In no event, however, shall Landlord be obligated to incur or fund total relocation costs, exclusive of tenant improvement
expenditures, in an amount in excess of two (2) months of Basic Rent at the rate then payable hereunder. Within ten (10) days following
request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease prepared by Landlord to memorialize the relocation. Should
Tenant fail timely to execute and deliver the amendment to Landlord, or should Tenant thereafter fail to comply with the terms
thereof, then Landlord may at its option elect to terminate this Lease upon not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice
to Tenant. Upon the effective date of any termination of this Lease, Tenant shall vacate the Premises in accordance with Section
15.3.

ARTICLE VIII. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS ON
TENANT’S PROPERTY


 


Tenant shall be liable
for and shall pay before delinquency, all taxes and assessments levied against all personal property of Tenant located in the Premises.
When possible Tenant shall cause its personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of which the
Premises form a part. If any taxes on Tenant’s personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property
and if Landlord pays the same, or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion of a value placed
upon the personal property of Tenant and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon the increased assessment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of the taxes resulting from the increase in the assessment.


 


ARTICLE IX. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING


 


SECTION 9.1.      RIGHTS
OF PARTIES.


 


(a)          Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, Tenant may not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, sublet, encumber,
or otherwise transfer all or any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone
other than Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.1(c). For purposes of this Lease, references to any subletting, sublease or variation thereof
shall be deemed to apply not only to a sublease effected directly by Tenant, but also to a sub-subletting or an assignment of subtenancy
by a subtenant at any level. No assignment (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law) and no subletting shall be valid
or effective without Landlord’s prior written consent and, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a material default
of this Lease. Landlord shall not be deemed to have given its consent to any assignment or subletting by any other course of action,
including its acceptance of any name for listing in the Building directory. To the extent not prohibited by provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”), including Section 365(f)(1), Tenant on behalf of itself
and its creditors, administrators and assigns waives the applicability of Section 365(e) of the Bankruptcy Code unless the proposed
assignee of the Trustee for the estate of the bankrupt meets Landlord’s standard for consent as set forth in Section 9.1(c)
of this Lease. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all
monies or other considerations to be delivered in connection with the assignment shall be delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain
the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of
the Bankruptcy Code. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall
be deemed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of the assignment, and shall upon
demand execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming that assumption.


 


(b)          The
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant (other than bulk sales in the ordinary course of business) shall be deemed
an assignment within the meaning and provisions of this Article.


 


(c)          Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, if Tenant or any subtenant hereunder desires to transfer an interest in this Lease,
Tenant shall first notify Landlord and request in writing Landlord’s consent to the transfer. Tenant shall also submit in
writing to Landlord: (i) the name and address of the proposed transferee; (ii) the nature of any proposed subtenant’s or
assignee’s business to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of any proposed sublease or assignment
(including without limitation the rent and other economic provisions, term, improvement obligations and commencement date); (iv)
evidence that the proposed assignee or subtenant will comply with the requirements of Exhibit D to this Lease; and (v) any other
information requested by Landlord and reasonably related to the transfer. Except as provided in Subsection (d) of this Section,
Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent, provided: (1) the use of the Premises will be consistent with the provisions
of this Lease and with Landlord’s commitment to other tenants of the Building and Project; (2) any proposed subtenant or
assignee demonstrates that it is financially responsible by submission to Landlord of all reasonable information as Landlord may
request concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee, including, but not limited to, a balance sheet of the proposed subtenant
or assignee as of a date within ninety (90) days of the request for Landlord’s consent and statements of income or profit
and loss of the proposed subtenant or assignee for the two-year period preceding the request for Landlord’s consent; (3)
the proposed subtenant or assignee is, in Landlord's good faith determination, appropriate for tenancy in a first class office
project; (4) the proposed assignee or subtenant is neither an existing tenant or occupant of the Building or Project nor a prospective
tenant with whom Landlord has been actively negotiating; and (5) the proposed transferee is not an SDN (as defined below) and will
not impose additional burdens or security risks on Landlord. If Landlord consents to the proposed transfer, then the transfer may
be effected within ninety (90) days after the date of the consent upon the terms described in the information furnished to Landlord;
provided that any material change in the terms shall be subject to Landlord’s consent as set forth in this Section. Landlord
shall approve or disapprove any requested transfer within thirty (30) days following receipt of Tenant’s written notice and
the information set forth above. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a transfer fee of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) if and when any
transfer request submitted by Tenant is approved.

(d)          Notwithstanding
the provisions of Subsection (c) above, in lieu of consenting to a proposed assignment or subletting of the entire Premises to
other than a Tenant Affiliate, Landlord may elect to (i) sublease the Premises (or the portion proposed to be subleased), or take
an assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, upon the same terms as offered to the proposed subtenant or assignee (excluding
terms relating to the purchase of personal property, the use of Tenant’s name or the continuation of Tenant’s business),
or (ii) terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be subleased or assigned with a proportionate abatement
in the rent payable under this Lease, effective on the date that the proposed sublease or assignment would have commenced. Landlord
may thereafter, at its option, assign or re-let any space so recaptured to any third party, including without limitation the proposed
transferee identified by Tenant.


 


(e)          Should
any assignment or subletting occur, Tenant shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to Landlord, as additional rent, fifty percent
(50%) of any amounts paid by the assignee or subtenant, however described and whether funded during or after the Lease Term, to
the extent such amounts are in excess of the sum of (i) the scheduled rental sums payable by Tenant hereunder (or, in the event
of a subletting of only a portion of the Premises, the rent allocable to such portion as reasonably determined by Landlord) and
(ii) the direct out-of-pocket costs, as evidenced by third party invoices provided to Landlord, incurred by Tenant to effect the
transfer, which costs shall be amortized over the remaining Term of this Lease or, if shorter, over the term of the sublease. Upon
request by Landlord, Tenant and all other parties to the transfer shall memorialize in writing the amounts to be paid pursuant
to this paragraph.


 


(f)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder, Tenant may, without Landlord's prior consent but with prior written
notice to Landlord and subject to the provisions of Section 9.2, assign or transfer its right, title and interest in this Lease
or sublease the Premises to any of the following: (i) any entity resulting from a merger or consolidation with Tenant; (ii) any
entity succeeding to the business and assets of Tenant; or (iii) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control
with, Tenant (collectively, "Tenant Affiliate"). Promptly following the effectiveness of any such transfer, Tenant shall
provide to Landlord copies of all pertinent transfer documents and such other information pertaining thereto as Landlord may reasonably
request. Landlord’s prior consent shall not be required for the infusion of additional equity capital in Tenant or an initial
public offering of equity securities of Tenant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which results in Tenant's stock being
traded on a national securities exchange, including, but not limited to, the NYSE, the NASDAQ Stock Market or the NASDAQ Small
Cap Market System.


 


SECTION 9.2.      EFFECT
OF TRANSFER. No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant, or any successor-in-interest
to Tenant hereunder, of its obligation to pay rent and to perform all its other obligations under this Lease. Moreover, Tenant
shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless, as provided in Section 10.3, for any act or omission by an assignee or subtenant. Each
assignee, other than Landlord, shall be deemed to assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be liable jointly
and severally with Tenant for the payment of all rent, and for the due performance of all of Tenant’s obligations, under
this Lease. Such joint and several liability shall not be discharged or impaired by any subsequent modification or extension of
this Lease. No transfer shall be binding on Landlord unless any document memorializing the transfer is delivered to Landlord, both
the assignee/subtenant and Tenant deliver to Landlord an executed consent to transfer instrument prepared by Landlord and consistent
with the requirements of this Article, and the assignee/subtenant independently complies with all of the insurance requirements
of Tenant as set forth in Exhibit D and evidence thereof is delivered to Landlord. The acceptance by Landlord of any payment due
under this Lease from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a
consent to any transfer. Consent by Landlord to one or more transfers shall not operate as a waiver or estoppel to the future enforcement
by Landlord of its rights under this Lease. In addition to the foregoing, no change in the status of Tenant or any party jointly
and severally liable with Tenant as aforesaid (e.g., by conversion to a limited liability company or partnership) shall serve to
abrogate the liability of any person or entity for the obligations of Tenant, including any obligations that may be incurred by
Tenant after the status change by exercise of a pre-existing right in this Lease.


 


SECTION 9.3.      SUBLEASE
REQUIREMENTS. The following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises
and shall be included in each sublease:


 


(a)          Tenant
hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of the
Premises, and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; provided,
however, that until a default occurs in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right
to receive and collect the sublease rentals. Landlord shall not, by reason of this assignment or the collection of sublease rentals,
be deemed liable to the subtenant for the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations under the sublease. Tenant hereby irrevocably
authorizes and directs any subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating that an uncured default exists in
the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to pay to Landlord all sums then and thereafter due under the sublease.
Tenant agrees that the subtenant may rely on that notice without any duty of further inquiry and notwithstanding any notice or
claim by Tenant to the contrary. Tenant shall have no right or claim against the subtenant or Landlord for any rentals so paid
to Landlord. In the event Landlord collects amounts from subtenants that exceed the total amount then due from Tenant hereunder,
Landlord shall promptly remit the excess to Tenant.


 



    	11



    	 



    

 


(b)          In
the event of the termination of this Lease, Landlord may, at its sole option, take over Tenant’s entire interest in any sublease
and, upon notice from Landlord, the subtenant shall attorn to Landlord. In no event, however, shall Landlord be liable for any
previous act or omission by Tenant under the sublease or for the return of any advance rental payments or deposits under the sublease
that have not been actually delivered to Landlord, nor shall Landlord be bound by any sublease modification executed without Landlord’s
consent or for any advance rental payment by the subtenant in excess of one month’s rent. The general provisions of this
Lease, including without limitation those pertaining to insurance and indemnification, shall be deemed incorporated by reference
into the sublease despite the termination of this Lease.


 


(c)          Tenant
agrees that Landlord may, at its sole option, authorize a subtenant of the Premises to cure a default by Tenant under this Lease.
Should Landlord accept such cure, the subtenant shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Tenant under the
applicable sublease.


 


ARTICLE X. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY


 


SECTION 10.1.      TENANT’S
INSURANCE. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide and maintain in effect the insurance described in Exhibit D.
Evidence of that insurance must be delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date.


 


SECTION 10.2.      LANDLORD’S
INSURANCE. Landlord may, at its election, provide any or all of the following types of insurance, with or without deductible
and in amounts and coverages as may be determined by Landlord in its discretion: property insurance, subject to standard exclusions,
covering the Building or Project, and such other risks as Landlord or its mortgagees may from time to time deem appropriate, and
commercial general liability coverage. Landlord shall not be required to carry insurance of any kind on any tenant improvements
or alterations in the Premises installed by Tenant or its contractors or otherwise removable by Tenant (collectively, "Tenant
Installations"), as well as any trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, interior plate glass, signs and all items of personal
property in the Premises, and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair or replace any of the foregoing items should damage occur.
All proceeds of insurance maintained by Landlord upon the Building and Project shall be the property of Landlord, whether or not
Landlord is obligated to or elects to make any repairs.


 


SECTION 10.3.      TENANT’S
INDEMNITY. To the fullest extent permitted by law, but subject to Section 10.5 below, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Landlord, its agents, lenders, and any and all affiliates of Landlord (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”),
from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs or expenses arising either before or after the Commencement Date from Tenant’s
use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Common Areas, or from the conduct of its business, or from any activity,
work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or its agents, employees, subtenants, vendors, contractors, invitees or licensees
in or about the Premises, the Building or the Common Areas, or from any default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s
part to be performed under this Lease, or from any act or negligence of Tenant or its agents, employees, subtenants, vendors, contractors,
invitees or licensees. Landlord may, at its option, require Tenant to assume Landlord’s defense in any action covered by
this Section through counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.


 


SECTION 10.4.      LANDLORD’S
NONLIABILITY. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors
(but subject to the provisions of Section 10.5 below), Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, its employees, agents and invitees,
and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord, its employees and agents for loss of or damage to any property, or any injury
to any person, or loss or interruption of business or income, resulting from any condition including, but not limited to, fire,
explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises
or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning,
electrical works or other fixtures in the Building, whether the damage or injury results from conditions arising in the Premises
or in other portions of the Building. It is understood that any such condition may require the temporary evacuation or closure
of all or a portion of the Building. Should Tenant elect to receive any service from a concessionaire, licensee or third party
tenant of Landlord, Tenant shall not seek recourse against Landlord for any breach or liability of that service provider. Neither
Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for interference with light or other similar intangible interests. Tenant shall immediately
notify Landlord in case of fire or accident in the Premises, the Building or the Project and of defects in any improvements or
equipment.


 



    	12



    	 



    

 


SECTION 10.5.      WAIVER
OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives all rights of recovery against the other on account of loss and damage
occasioned to the property of such waiving party to the extent that the waiving party is entitled to proceeds for such loss and
damage under any property insurance policies carried or otherwise required to be carried by this Lease. By this waiver it is the
intent of the parties that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise)
insuring the other party for any loss or damage insured against under any property insurance policies, even though such loss or
damage might be occasioned by the negligence of such party, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees. The foregoing waiver
by Tenant shall also inure to the benefit of Landlord's management agent for the Building.


 


ARTICLE XI. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION


 


SECTION 11.1.      RESTORATION.


 


(a)          If
the Building of which the Premises are a part is damaged as the result of an event of casualty, then subject to the provisions
below, Landlord shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible unless: (i) Landlord reasonably determines that the cost
of repair would exceed ten percent (10%) of the full replacement cost of the Building (“Replacement Cost”) and the
damage is not covered by Landlord’s fire and extended coverage insurance (or by a normal extended coverage policy should
Landlord fail to carry that insurance); or (ii) Landlord reasonably determines that the cost of repair would exceed twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Replacement Cost; or (iii) Landlord reasonably determines that the cost of repair would exceed ten percent
(10%) of the Replacement Cost and the damage occurs during the final twelve (12) months of the Term. Should Landlord elect not
to repair the damage for one of the preceding reasons, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in the “Casualty Notice” (as
defined below), and this Lease shall terminate as of the date of delivery of that notice.


 


(b)          As
soon as reasonably practicable following the casualty event but not later than sixty (60) days thereafter, Landlord shall notify
Tenant in writing (“Casualty Notice”) of Landlord’s election, if applicable, to terminate this Lease. If this
Lease is not so terminated, the Casualty Notice shall set forth the anticipated period for repairing the casualty damage. If the
anticipated repair period exceeds two hundred seventy (270) days and if the damage is so extensive as to reasonably prevent Tenant’s
substantial use and enjoyment of the Premises, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within
ten (10) days following delivery of the Casualty Notice.


 


(c)          Provided
that Tenant is not in default, the rental to be paid under this Lease shall be abated in the same proportion that the floor area
of the Premises that is rendered unusable by the damage from time to time bears to the total floor area of the Premises.


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
the provisions of subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section, but subject to Section 10.5, the cost of any repairs shall be borne
by Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to rental abatement or termination rights, if the damage is due to the fault or neglect
of Tenant or its employees, subtenants, contractors, invitees or representatives. In addition, the provisions of this Section shall
not be deemed to require Landlord to repair any Tenant Installations, fixtures and other items that Tenant is obligated to insure
pursuant to Exhibit D or any other provision of this Lease.


 


SECTION 11.2.      LEASE
GOVERNS. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Lease, including without limitation Section 11.1, shall govern any damage
or destruction and shall accordingly supersede any contrary statute or rule of law.


 


ARTICLE XII. EMINENT DOMAIN


 


SECTION 12.1.      TOTAL
OR PARTIAL TAKING. If all or a material portion of the Premises is taken by any lawful authority by exercise of the right of
eminent domain, or sold to prevent a taking, either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession
is required to be surrendered to the authority. In the event title to a portion of the Building or Project, other than the Premises,
is taken or sold in lieu of taking, and if Landlord elects to restore the Building in such a way as to alter the Premises materially,
either party may terminate this Lease, by written notice to the other party, effective on the date of vesting of title. In the
event neither party has elected to terminate this Lease as provided above, then Landlord shall promptly, after receipt of a sufficient
condemnation award, proceed to restore the Premises to substantially their condition prior to the taking, and a proportionate allowance
shall be made to Tenant for the rent corresponding to the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of which, Tenant is
deprived on account of the taking and restoration. In the event of a taking, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of
the condemnation award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant; provided that nothing in this Section shall be deemed
to give Landlord any interest in, or prevent Tenant from seeking any award against the taking authority for, the taking of personal
property and fixtures belonging to Tenant or for relocation or business interruption expenses recoverable from the taking authority.


 



    	13



    	 



    

 


SECTION 12.2.      TEMPORARY
TAKING. No temporary taking of the Premises shall terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to abatement of rent, and any
award specifically attributable to a temporary taking of the Premises shall belong entirely to Tenant. A temporary taking shall
be deemed to be a taking of the use or occupancy of the Premises for a period of not to exceed ninety (90) days.


 


SECTION 12.3.      TAKING
OF PARKING AREA. In the event there shall be a taking of the parking area such that Landlord can no longer provide sufficient
parking to comply with this Lease, Landlord may substitute reasonably equivalent parking in a location reasonably close to the
Building; provided that if Landlord fails to make that substitution within ninety (90) days following the taking and if the taking
materially impairs Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises, Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease by written
notice to Landlord. If this Lease is not so terminated by Tenant, there shall be no abatement of rent and this Lease shall continue
in effect.


 


ARTICLE XIII. SUBORDINATION; ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATE


 


SECTION 13.1.      SUBORDINATION.
At the option of Landlord or any of its mortgagees/deed of trust beneficiaries, this Lease shall be either superior or subordinate
to all ground or underlying leases, mortgages and deeds of trust, if any, which may hereafter affect the Building, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, that so long as Tenant is not in default under this
Lease, this Lease shall not be terminated or Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Premises disturbed in the event of termination
of any such ground or underlying lease, or the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust, to which this Lease has been
subordinated pursuant to this Section. In the event of a termination or foreclosure, Tenant shall become a tenant of and attorn
to the successor-in-interest to Landlord upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease, and shall promptly
execute any instrument reasonably required by Landlord’s successor for that purpose. Tenant shall also, within ten (10) days
following written request of Landlord (or the beneficiary under any deed of trust encumbering the Building), execute and deliver
all instruments as may be required from time to time by Landlord or such beneficiary (including without limitation any subordination,
nondisturbance and attornment agreement in the form customarily required by such beneficiary) to subordinate this Lease and the
rights of Tenant under this Lease to any ground or underlying lease or to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust; provided,
however, that any such beneficiary may, by written notice to Tenant given at any time, subordinate the lien of its deed of trust
to this Lease. Tenant shall agree that any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or lender taking title under a deed in lieu of foreclosure
shall not be responsible for any act or omission of a prior landlord, shall not be subject to any offsets or defenses Tenant may
have against a prior landlord, and shall not be liable for the return of any security deposit not actually recovered by such purchaser
or bound by any rent paid in advance of the calendar month in which the transfer of title occurred; provided that the foregoing
shall not release the applicable prior landlord from any liability for those obligations. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s
mortgagees and successors-in-interest and all beneficiaries under deeds of trust encumbering the Building are intended third party
beneficiaries of this Section.


 


SECTION 13.2.      ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATE. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days following written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord, in any form that Landlord may reasonably require, a statement in writing in favor of Landlord and/or any prospective
purchaser or encumbrancer of the Building (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified,
stating the nature of the modification and certifying that this Lease, as modified, is in full force and effect) and the dates
to which the rental, additional rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that, to Tenant’s
knowledge, there are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord, or specifying each default if any are claimed, and (iii) setting
forth all further information that Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant’s statement may be relied upon by any prospective
purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building or Project. In addition to Landlord’s other rights and remedies,
Tenant’s failure to deliver any estoppel statement within the provided time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that (i) this
Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) there are no uncured defaults
in Landlord’s performance, and (iii) not more than one month’s rental has been paid in advance.


 


ARTICLE XIV. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES


 


SECTION 14.1.      TENANT’S
DEFAULTS. In addition to any other event of default set forth in this Lease, the occurrence of any one or more of the following
events shall constitute a default by Tenant:


 


(a)          The
failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent required to be made by Tenant, as and when due, where the failure continues for a
period of three (3) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu
of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 as amended. For purposes
of these default and remedies provisions, the term “additional rent” shall be deemed to include all amounts of any
type whatsoever other than Basic Rent to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.


 



    	14



    	 



    

 


(b)          The
assignment, sublease, encumbrance or other transfer of the Lease by Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, whether
by judgment, execution, transfer by intestacy or testacy, or other means, without the prior written consent of Landlord unless
otherwise authorized herein.


 


(c)          The
discovery by Landlord that any financial statement provided by Tenant, or by any affiliate, successor or guarantor of Tenant, was
materially false.


 


(d)          The
failure or inability by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed
by Tenant, other than as specified in any other subsection of this Section, where the failure continues for a period of thirty
(30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in
addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 as amended. However, if the nature of the
failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in
default if Tenant commences the cure within thirty (30) days, and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion.


 


(e)          (i)
The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition
to have Tenant adjudged a Chapter 7 debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or to have debts discharged or a petition for reorganization
or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed
within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s
assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, if possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty
(30) days; (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the
Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where the seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; or (v) Tenant’s
convening of a meeting of its creditors for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of its debts. Landlord shall
not be deemed to have knowledge of any event described in this subsection unless notification in writing is received by Landlord,
nor shall there be any presumption attributable to Landlord of Tenant’s insolvency. In the event that any provision of this
subsection is contrary to applicable law, the provision shall be of no force or effect.


 


SECTION 14.2.      LANDLORD’S
REMEDIES.


 


(a)          In
the event of any default by Tenant, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord, Landlord may exercise the following
remedies:


 


(i)          Landlord
may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate
and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. Such termination shall not affect any accrued obligations
of Tenant under this Lease. Upon termination, Landlord shall have the right to reenter the Premises and remove all persons and
property. Landlord shall also be entitled to recover from Tenant:


 


(1)         The
worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent and additional rent which had been earned at the time of termination;


 


(2)         The
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and additional rent which would have been earned after termination
until the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;


 


(3)         The
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and additional rent for the balance of the Term after the time
of award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided;


 


(4)         Any
other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result from Tenant’s default, including,
but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, commissions and other expenses of reletting, including necessary
repair, renovation, improvement and alteration of the Premises for a new tenant, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any other
reasonable costs; and


 


(5)         At
Landlord’s election, all other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by law. The term “rent”
as used in this Lease shall be deemed to mean the Basic Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant
to the terms of this Lease, including without limitation any sums that may be owing from Tenant pursuant to Section 4.3 of this
Lease. Any sum, other than Basic Rent, shall be computed on the basis of the average monthly amount accruing during the twenty-four
(24) month period immediately prior to default, except that if it becomes necessary to compute such rental before the twenty-four
(24) month period has occurred, then the computation shall be on the basis of the average monthly amount during the shorter period.
As used in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest
at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. As used in subparagraph (3) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall
be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus
one percent (1%).


 



    	15



    	 



    

 


(ii)         Landlord
may elect not to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, in which event Landlord may continue to enforce
all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to collect all rent as it becomes due. Efforts by the Landlord
to maintain, preserve or relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Landlord’s interests under this
Lease, shall not constitute a termination of the Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises. In the event that Landlord
elects to avail itself of the remedy provided by this subsection (ii), Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to
an assignment or subletting of the Premises subject to the reasonable standards for Landlord’s consent as are contained in
this Lease.


 


(b)          The
various rights and remedies reserved to Landlord in this Lease or otherwise shall be cumulative and, except as otherwise provided
by California law, Landlord may pursue any or all of its rights and remedies at the same time. No delay or omission of Landlord
to exercise any right or remedy shall be construed as a waiver of the right or remedy or of any breach or default by Tenant. The
acceptance by Landlord of rent shall not be a (i) waiver of any preceding breach or default by Tenant of any provision of this
Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of the preceding
breach or default at the time of acceptance of rent, or (ii) a waiver of Landlord’s right to exercise any remedy available
to Landlord by virtue of the breach or default. The acceptance of any payment from a debtor in possession, a trustee, a receiver
or any other person acting on behalf of Tenant or Tenant’s estate shall not waive or cure a default under Section 14.1. No
payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent required by this Lease shall be deemed to be other than
a partial payment on account of the earliest due stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter
be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord shall accept the check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right
to recover the balance of the rent or pursue any other remedy available to it. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or
relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1174 or 1179, or under any other present or future law,
in the event this Lease is terminated by reason of any default by Tenant. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s
agents during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender shall
be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to
accept the keys to the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease, and the delivery of the keys to any employee shall not
operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the Premises.


 


SECTION 14.3.      LATE
PAYMENTS.


 


(a)          Any
rent due under this Lease that is not paid to Landlord within five (5) days of the date when due shall bear interest at the maximum
rate permitted by law from the date due until fully paid. The payment of interest shall not cure any default by Tenant under this
Lease. In addition, Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent will cause Landlord to incur costs
not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Those costs
may include, but are not limited to, administrative, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on
Landlord by the terms of any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any rent due from Tenant
shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days after the date due, then Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, in addition to the interest provided above, a late charge for each delinquent payment equal to the greater of (i) five
percent (5%) of that delinquent payment or (ii) One Hundred Dollars ($100.00). Acceptance of a late charge by Landlord shall not
constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount, nor shall it prevent Landlord from exercising
any of its other rights and remedies.


 


(b)          Following
each second consecutive installment of Basic Rent that is not paid within five (5) days following notice of nonpayment from Landlord,
Landlord shall have the option (i) to require that beginning with the first payment of Basic Rent next due, Basic Rent shall no
longer be paid in monthly installments but shall be payable quarterly three (3) months in advance and/or (ii) to require that Tenant
increase the amount, if any, of the Security Deposit by one hundred percent (100%). Should Tenant deliver to Landlord, at any time
during the Term, two (2) or more insufficient checks, the Landlord may require that all monies then and thereafter due from Tenant
be paid to Landlord by cashier’s check.


 


SECTION 14.4.      RIGHT
OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rent or right of set-off. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money, or fails
to perform any other act on its part to be performed under this Lease, and the failure continues beyond any applicable grace period
set forth in Section 14.1, then in addition to any other available remedies, Landlord may, at its election, make the payment or
perform the other act on Tenant’s part. Landlord’s election to make the payment or perform the act on Tenant’s
part shall not give rise to any responsibility of Landlord to continue making the same or similar payments or performing the same
or similar acts. Tenant shall, promptly upon demand by Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all sums paid by Landlord and all necessary
incidental costs, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of the payment by Landlord.


 



    	16



    	 



    

 


SECTION 14.5.      DEFAULT
BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation under this Lease unless and
until it has failed to perform the obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying in
reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is
such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it
commences performance within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion.


 


SECTION 14.6.      EXPENSES
AND LEGAL FEES. Should either Landlord or Tenant bring any action in connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover as a part of the action its reasonable attorneys’ fees, and all other costs. The prevailing party
for the purpose of this paragraph shall be determined by the trier of the facts.


 


SECTION 14.7.      WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL/JUDICIAL REFERENCE.


 


(a)          LANDLORD
AND TENANT EACH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS AWARE OF AND HAS HAD THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY, AND EACH PARTY DOES HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE AND RELEASE ALL SUCH RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING
OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER (AND/OR AGAINST ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR
SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATED ENTITIES) ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, TENANT’S
USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE.


 


(b)          IN
THE EVENT THAT THE JURY WAIVER PROVISIONS OF SECTION 14.7(a) ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, THEN THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
SECTION 14.7(b) SHALL APPLY. IT IS THE DESIRE AND INTENTION OF THE PARTIES TO AGREE UPON A MECHANISM AND PROCEDURE UNDER WHICH
CONTROVERSIES AND DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR RELATED TO THE PREMISES WILL BE RESOLVED IN A PROMPT AND EXPEDITIOUS MANNER.
ACCORDINGLY, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS FOR UNLAWFUL OR FORCIBLE DETAINER OR WITH RESPECT TO THE PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OF ATTACHMENT,
ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER (AND/OR AGAINST ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATED ENTITIES) ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS
LEASE, TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE, SHALL BE HEARD AND RESOLVED BY A REFEREE
UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, SECTIONS 638 – 645.1, INCLUSIVE (AS SAME MAY BE AMENDED,
OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE(S) THERETO) (THE “REFEREE SECTIONS”). ANY FEE TO INITIATE THE JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
SHALL BE PAID BY THE PARTY INITIATING SUCH PROCEDURE; PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT THE COSTS AND FEES, INCLUDING ANY INITIATION FEE,
OF SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL ULTIMATELY BE BORNE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 14.6 ABOVE. THE VENUE OF THE PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE IN THE
COUNTY IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED. WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS OF RECEIPT BY ANY PARTY OF A WRITTEN REQUEST TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE
OR CONTROVERSY PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 14.7(b), THE PARTIES SHALL AGREE UPON A SINGLE REFEREE WHO SHALL TRY ALL ISSUES, WHETHER
OF FACT OR LAW, AND REPORT A FINDING AND JUDGMENT ON SUCH ISSUES AS REQUIRED BY THE REFEREE SECTIONS. IF THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE
TO AGREE UPON A REFEREE WITHIN SUCH TEN (10) DAY PERIOD, THEN ANY PARTY MAY THEREAFTER FILE A LAWSUIT IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE
PREMISES ARE LOCATED FOR THE PURPOSE OF APPOINTMENT OF A REFEREE UNDER CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 638 AND 640,
AS SAME MAY BE AMENDED OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE(S) THERETO. IF THE REFEREE IS APPOINTED BY THE COURT, THE REFEREE SHALL BE A NEUTRAL
AND IMPARTIAL RETIRED JUDGE WITH SUBSTANTIAL EXPERIENCE IN THE RELEVANT MATTERS TO BE DETERMINED, FROM JAMS/ENDISPUTE, INC., THE
AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION OR SIMILAR MEDIATION/ARBITRATION ENTITY. THE PROPOSED REFEREE MAY BE CHALLENGED BY ANY PARTY FOR
ANY OF THE GROUNDS LISTED IN SECTION 641 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, AS SAME MAY BE AMENDED OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE(S)
THERETO. THE REFEREE SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO DECIDE ALL ISSUES OF FACT AND LAW AND REPORT HIS OR HER DECISION ON SUCH ISSUES, AND
TO ISSUE ALL RECOGNIZED REMEDIES AVAILABLE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION THAT IS BEFORE THE REFEREE, INCLUDING AN
AWARD OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA LAW. THE REFEREE SHALL NOT, HOWEVER, HAVE THE POWER TO AWARD
PUNITIVE DAMAGES, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER ANY SUCH DAMAGES. THE REFEREE SHALL OVERSEE DISCOVERY AND MAY
ENFORCE ALL DISCOVERY ORDERS IN THE SAME MANNER AS ANY TRIAL COURT JUDGE, WITH RIGHTS TO REGULATE DISCOVERY AND TO ISSUE AND ENFORCE
SUBPOENAS, PROTECTIVE ORDERS AND OTHER LIMITATIONS ON DISCOVERY AVAILABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE REFEREE
SHALL LIMIT DISCOVERY TO THAT WHICH IS ESSENTIAL TO THE EFFECTIVE PROSECUTION OR DEFENSE OF THE ACTION, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL DISCOVERY
BY EITHER PARTY INCLUDE MORE THAN ONE NON-EXPERT WITNESS DEPOSITION UNLESS BOTH PARTIES OTHERWISE AGREE. THE REFERENCE PROCEEDING
SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA LAW (INCLUDING THE RULES OF EVIDENCE), AND IN ALL REGARDS, THE REFEREE SHALL FOLLOW
CALIFORNIA LAW APPLICABLE AT THE TIME OF THE REFERENCE PROCEEDING. IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 644 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE, THE DECISION OF THE REFEREE UPON THE WHOLE ISSUE MUST STAND AS THE DECISION OF THE COURT, AND UPON THE FILING OF THE
STATEMENT OF DECISION WITH THE CLERK OF THE COURT, OR WITH THE JUDGE IF THERE IS NO CLERK, JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED THEREON IN THE
SAME MANNER AS IF THE ACTION HAD BEEN TRIED BY THE COURT. THE PARTIES SHALL PROMPTLY AND DILIGENTLY COOPERATE WITH ONE ANOTHER
AND THE REFEREE, AND SHALL PERFORM SUCH ACTS AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO OBTAIN A PROMPT AND EXPEDITIOUS RESOLUTION OF THE DISPUTE OR
CONTROVERSY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 14.7(b). TO THE EXTENT THAT NO PENDING LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED TO OBTAIN
THE APPOINTMENT OF A REFEREE, ANY PARTY, AFTER THE ISSUANCE OF THE DECISION OF THE REFEREE, MAY APPLY TO THE COURT OF THE COUNTY
IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED FOR CONFIRMATION BY THE COURT OF THE DECISION OF THE REFEREE IN THE SAME MANNER AS A PETITION
FOR CONFIRMATION OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD PURSUANT TO CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 1285 ET SEQ. (AS SAME MAY BE AMENDED OR ANY
SUCCESSOR STATUTE(S) THERETO).

ARTICLE XV. END OF TERM


 


SECTION 15.1.      HOLDING
OVER. This Lease shall terminate without further notice upon the expiration of the Term, and any holding over by Tenant after
the expiration shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease, or give Tenant any rights under this Lease, except when
in writing signed by both parties. If Tenant holds over for any period after the expiration (or earlier termination) of the Term,
Landlord may, at its option, treat Tenant as a tenant at sufferance only, commencing on the first (1st) day following
the termination of this Lease. However, should Landlord accept the payment of monthly hold-over rent by Tenant, then a month-to-month
tenancy shall be deemed effected and neither party shall terminate this Lease without thirty (30) days prior written notice to
the other party. Any hold-over by Tenant shall be subject to all of the terms of this Lease, except that the monthly rental shall
be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the total monthly rental for the month immediately preceding the date of termination, subject
to Landlord’s right to modify same upon thirty (30) days notice to Tenant. The acceptance by Landlord of monthly hold-over
rental in a lesser amount shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to recover the full amount due unless otherwise agreed
in writing by Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration of this Lease despite demand to do so by
Landlord, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss or liability, including without limitation, any claims
made by any succeeding tenant relating to such failure to surrender. The foregoing provisions of this Section are in addition to
and do not affect Landlord’s right of re-entry or any other rights of Landlord under this Lease or at law.


 


SECTION 15.2.      MERGER
ON TERMINATION. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual termination of this Lease, shall terminate
any or all existing subleases unless Landlord, at its option, elects in writing to treat the surrender or termination as an assignment
to it of any or all subleases affecting the Premises.


 


SECTION 15.3.      SURRENDER
OF PREMISES; REMOVAL OF PROPERTY. Upon the Expiration Date or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit
and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order, condition and repair as when received or as hereafter may
be improved by Landlord or Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are Landlord’s obligation excepted, and shall
remove or fund to Landlord the cost of removing all wallpapering and voice and/or data transmission cabling installed by or for
Tenant, together with all personal property and debris, except for any items that Landlord may by written authorization allow to
remain. Tenant shall repair all damage to the Premises resulting from the removal and restore the affected area to its pre-existing
condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, provided that Landlord may instead elect to repair any structural damage at Tenant’s
expense. If Tenant shall fail to comply with the provisions of this Section, Landlord may effect the removal and/or make any repairs,
and the cost to Landlord shall be additional rent payable by Tenant upon demand. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an instrument in writing releasing and quitclaiming to Landlord all right, title and interest
of Tenant in the Premises.


 



    	18



    	 



    

 


ARTICLE XVI. PAYMENTS AND NOTICES


 


All sums payable by
Tenant to Landlord shall be paid, without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at its address
set forth in Item 13 of the Basic Lease Provisions, or at any other place as Landlord may designate in writing. Unless this Lease
expressly provides otherwise, as for example in the payment of rent pursuant to Section 4.1, all payments shall be due and payable
within five (5) days after demand. All payments requiring proration shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days in the
pertinent calendar month or year, as applicable. Any notice, election, demand, consent, approval or other communication to be given
or other document to be delivered by either party to the other may be delivered to the other party, at the address set forth in
Item 13 of the Basic Lease Provisions, by personal service or electronic facsimile transmission, or by any courier or “overnight”
express mailing service, or may be deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid. Either party may, by written notice to
the other, served in the manner provided in this Article, designate a different address. If any notice or other document is sent
by mail, it shall be deemed served or delivered three (3) business days after mailing or, if sooner, upon actual receipt. The refusal
to accept delivery of a notice, or the inability to deliver the notice (whether due to a change of address for which notice was
not duly given or other good reason), shall be deemed delivery and receipt of the notice as of the date of attempted delivery.
If more than one person or entity is named as Tenant under this Lease, service of any notice upon any one of them shall be deemed
as service upon all of them.


 


ARTICLE XVII. RULES AND REGULATIONS


 


Tenant agrees to comply
with the Rules and Regulations attached as Exhibit E, and any reasonable and nondiscriminatory amendments, modifications and/or
additions as may be adopted and published by written notice to tenants by Landlord for the safety, care, security, good order,
or cleanliness of the Premises, Building, Project and/or Common Areas. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any violation
of the Rules and Regulations or the breach of any covenant or condition in any lease or any other act or conduct by any other tenant,
and the same shall not constitute a constructive eviction hereunder. One or more waivers by Landlord of any breach of the Rules
and Regulations by Tenant or by any other tenant(s) shall not be a waiver of any subsequent breach of that rule or any other. Tenant’s
failure to keep and observe the Rules and Regulations shall constitute a default under this Lease. In the case of any conflict
between the Rules and Regulations and this Lease, this Lease shall be controlling.


 


ARTICLE XVIII. BROKER’S COMMISSION


 


The parties recognize
as the broker(s) who negotiated this Lease the firm(s) whose name(s) is (are) stated in Item 10 of the Basic Lease Provisions,
and agree that Landlord shall be responsible for the payment of brokerage commissions to those broker(s) unless otherwise provided
in this Lease. It is understood that Landlord's Broker represents only Landlord in this transaction and Tenant's Broker (if any)
represents only Tenant. Each party warrants that it has had no dealings with any other real estate broker or agent in connection
with the negotiation of this Lease, and agrees to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from any cost, expense or liability
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any compensation, commissions or charges claimed by any other real estate broker
or agent employed or claiming to represent or to have been employed by the indemnifying party in connection with the negotiation
of this Lease. The foregoing agreement shall survive the termination of this Lease.


 


ARTICLE XIX. TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S
INTEREST


 


In the event of any
transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, the transferor shall be automatically relieved of all obligations on the
part of Landlord accruing under this Lease from and after the date of the transfer, provided that Tenant is duly notified of the
transfer. Any funds held by the transferor in which Tenant has an interest shall be turned over, subject to that interest, to the
transferee. No holder of a mortgage and/or deed of trust to which this Lease is or may be subordinate shall be responsible in connection
with the Security Deposit unless the mortgagee or holder of the deed of trust actually receives the Security Deposit. It is intended
that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord shall, subject to the foregoing, be binding
on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect to their respective successive periods of ownership.


 


ARTICLE XX. INTERPRETATION


 


SECTION 20.1.      GENDER
AND NUMBER. Whenever the context of this Lease requires, the words “Landlord” and “Tenant” shall include
the plural as well as the singular, and words used in neuter, masculine or feminine genders shall include the others.


 


SECTION 20.2.      HEADINGS.
The captions and headings of the articles and sections of this Lease are for convenience only, are not a part of this Lease and
shall have no effect upon its construction or interpretation.


 



    	19



    	 



    

 


SECTION 20.3.      JOINT
AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. If more than one person or entity is named as Tenant, the obligations imposed upon each shall be joint
and several and the act of or notice from, or notice or refund to, or the signature of, any one or more of them shall be binding
on all of them with respect to the tenancy of this Lease, including, but not limited to, any renewal, extension, termination or
modification of this Lease.


 


SECTION 20.4.      SUCCESSORS.
Subject to Articles IX and XIX, all rights and liabilities given to or imposed upon Landlord and Tenant shall extend to and bind
their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. Nothing contained in this Section is intended, or shall
be construed, to grant to any person other than Landlord and Tenant and their successors and assigns any rights or remedies under
this Lease.


 


SECTION 20.5.      TIME
OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance
is a factor.


 


SECTION 20.6.      CONTROLLING
LAW/VENUE. This Lease shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Should any
litigation be commenced between the parties in connection with this Lease, such action shall be prosecuted in the applicable State
Court of California in the county in which the Building is located.


 


SECTION 20.7.      SEVERABILITY.
If any term or provision of this Lease, the deletion of which would not adversely affect the receipt of any material benefit by
either party or the deletion of which is consented to by the party adversely affected, shall be held invalid or unenforceable to
any extent, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable
to the fullest extent permitted by law.


 


SECTION 20.8.      WAIVER.
One or more waivers by Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease shall not be
a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition. Consent to any act by one of the parties
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of that party’s consent to any subsequent act. No breach of this
Lease shall be deemed to have been waived unless the waiver is in a writing signed by the waiving party.


 


SECTION 20.9.      INABILITY
TO PERFORM. In the event that either party shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any work or
in performing any act required under this Lease by reason of any cause beyond the reasonable control of that party, then the performance
of the work or the doing of the act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the time for performance shall be extended
for a period equivalent to the period of the delay. The provisions of this Section shall not operate to excuse Tenant from the
prompt payment of rent.


 


SECTION 20.10.      ENTIRE
AGREEMENT. This Lease and its exhibits and other attachments cover in full each and every agreement of every kind between the
parties concerning the Premises, the Building, and the Project, and all preliminary negotiations, oral agreements, understandings
and/or practices, except those contained in this Lease, are superseded and of no further effect. Tenant waives its rights to rely
on any representations or promises made by Landlord or others which are not contained in this Lease. No verbal agreement or implied
covenant shall be held to modify the provisions of this Lease, any statute, law, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.


 


SECTION 20.11.      QUIET
ENJOYMENT. Upon the observance and performance of all the covenants, terms and conditions on Tenant’s part to be observed
and performed, and subject to the other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right of quiet enjoyment and use of the
Premises for the Term without hindrance or interruption by Landlord or any other person claiming by or through Landlord.


 


SECTION 20.12.      SURVIVAL.
All covenants of Landlord or Tenant which reasonably would be intended to survive the expiration or sooner termination of this
Lease, including without limitation any warranty or indemnity hereunder, shall so survive and continue to be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the respective parties and their successors and assigns.


 


ARTICLE XXI. EXECUTION AND RECORDING


 


SECTION 21.1.      COUNTERPARTS.
This Lease may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which shall be one
and the same agreement.


 


SECTION 21.2. CORPORATE
AND PARTNERSHIP AUTHORITY. If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, each individual executing
this Lease on behalf of the entity represents and warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease and that

at Landlord’s request, deliver a certified copy of its organizational documents or an appropriate certificate authorizing
or evidencing the execution of this Lease.


 



    	20



    	 



    

 


SECTION 21.3.      EXECUTION
OF LEASE; NO OPTION OR OFFER. The submission of this Lease to Tenant shall be for examination purposes only, and shall not
constitute an offer to or option for Tenant to lease the Premises. Execution of this Lease by Tenant and its return to Landlord
shall not be binding upon Landlord, notwithstanding any time interval, until Landlord has in fact executed and delivered this Lease
to Tenant, it being intended that this Lease shall only become effective upon execution by Landlord and delivery of a fully executed
counterpart to Tenant.


 


SECTION 21.4.      RECORDING.
Tenant shall not record this Lease without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant, upon the request of Landlord, shall execute
and acknowledge a “short form” memorandum of this Lease for recording purposes.


 


SECTION 21.5.      AMENDMENTS.
No amendment or mutual termination of this Lease shall be effective unless in writing signed by authorized signatories of Tenant
and Landlord, or by their respective successors in interest. No actions, policies, oral or informal arrangements, business dealings
or other course of conduct by or between the parties shall be deemed to modify this Lease in any respect.


 


ARTICLE XXII. MISCELLANEOUS


 


SECTION 22.1.      NONDISCLOSURE
OF LEASE TERMS. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Lease are confidential and constitute proprietary information
of Landlord. Disclosure of the terms could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases and impair Landlord’s
relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that it, and its partners, officers, directors, employees and attorneys,
shall not intentionally and voluntarily disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease to any other tenant or apparent prospective
tenant of the Building or Project, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Landlord, provided, however,
that Tenant may disclose the terms to prospective subtenants or assignees under this Lease or pursuant to any legal requirement.


 


SECTION 22.2.      REPRESENTATIONS
BY TENANT. The application, financial statements and tax returns, if any, submitted and certified to by Tenant as an accurate
representation of its financial condition have been prepared, certified and submitted to Landlord as an inducement and consideration
to Landlord to enter into this Lease. The application and statements are represented and warranted by Tenant to be correct and
to accurately and fully reflect Tenant’s true financial condition as of the date of execution of this Lease by Tenant. Tenant
shall during the Term, but no more than twice during the initial Term, promptly furnish Landlord with current annual financial
statements accurately reflecting Tenant’s financial condition upon written request from Landlord.


 


SECTION 22.3.      CHANGES
REQUESTED BY LENDER. If, in connection with obtaining financing for the Building, the lender shall request reasonable modifications
in this Lease as a condition to the financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent, provided that the modifications
do not materially increase the obligations of Tenant or materially and adversely affect the leasehold interest created by this
Lease.


 


SECTION 22.4.      MORTGAGEE
PROTECTION. No act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which would otherwise entitle Tenant to be relieved of its obligations
hereunder or to terminate this Lease shall result in such a release or termination unless (a) Tenant has given notice by registered
or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgage covering the Building whose address has been furnished to Tenant
and (b) such beneficiary is afforded a reasonable opportunity to cure the default by Landlord, including, if necessary to effect
the cure, time to obtain possession of the Building by power of sale or judicial foreclosure provided that such foreclosure remedy
is diligently pursued.


 


SECTION 22.5.      SDN
LIST. Tenant hereby represents and warrants that neither Tenant nor any officer, director, employee, partner, member or other
principal of Tenant (collectively, "Tenant Parties") is listed as a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person
("SDN") on the list of such persons and entities issued by the U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
In the event Tenant or any Tenant Party is or becomes listed as an SDN, Tenant shall be deemed in breach of this Lease and Landlord
shall have the right to terminate this Lease immediately upon written notice to Tenant.


 


SECTION 22.6.      TERMINATION
OF EXISTING LEASE. Landlord’s affiliate, 4370 La Jolla Village LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Tenant
are currently parties to an office space lease dated May 13, 2008, which lease has subsequently been amended by a First Amendment
dated June 7, 2011 (collectively, the “Existing Lease”), for space located at 4370 La Jolla Village Drive, Suite No.
1050 (“Suite 1050) and Suite No. 685 (“Suite 685”), San Diego, California. It is understood that the Existing
Lease is currently scheduled to expire at midnight on December 31, 2011. The parties agree that the Existing Lease shall terminate
effective as of midnight of the day preceding the Commencement Date of this Lease and that Tenant shall completely vacate Suite
1050 and Suite 685 and shall remove all property therefrom on that date in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.3 of the
Existing Lease; provided that such termination shall not relieve Tenant of (a) any accrued obligation or liability under the Existing
Lease as of said termination date, or (b) any obligation under the Existing Lease which was reasonably intended to survive the
expiration or termination thereof. Any advance rental paid by Tenant under the Existing Lease shall be rebated by Landlord or applied
to the rent due hereunder.

EXHIBIT B


 


UTILITIES AND SERVICES


 


The following standards
for utilities and services shall be in effect at the Building. Landlord reserves the right to adopt nondiscriminatory modifications
and additions to these standards. In the case of any conflict between these standards and the Lease, the Lease shall be controlling.
Subject to all of the provisions of the Lease, including but not limited to the restrictions contained in Section 6.1, the following
shall apply:


 


1.       Landlord shall make
available to the Premises during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and if requested by Tenant, from 9:00
a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays ("Building Hours"), generally recognized national holidays excepted, reasonable HVAC services.
Subject to the provisions set forth below, Landlord shall also furnish the Building with elevator service (if applicable), reasonable
amounts of electric current for normal lighting by Landlord’s standard overhead fluorescent and incandescent fixtures and
for the operation of office equipment consistent in type and quantity with that utilized by typical office tenants of the Building
and Project, and water for lavatory purposes. Tenant will not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, connect any apparatus,
machine or device with water pipes or electric current (except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises) for the purpose
of using electric current or water. Because the Building systems have been designed for normal occupancy of approximately four
persons per one thousand usable square feet, Tenant understands that excess occupancy of the Premises may result in excessive use
of power and other services and may inhibit the efficient cooling of the Premises. This paragraph shall at all times be subject
to applicable governmental regulations.


 


2.       Upon written request
from Tenant delivered to Landlord at least 24 hours prior to the period for which service is requested, but during normal business
hours, Landlord will provide any of the foregoing building services to Tenant at such times when such services are not otherwise
available. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord for those after-hour services at rates that Landlord may establish from time to time.
If Tenant requires electric current in excess of that which Landlord is obligated to furnish under this Exhibit B, Tenant shall
first obtain the consent of Landlord, and Landlord may cause an electric current meter to be installed in the Premises to measure
the amount of electric current consumed. The cost of installation, maintenance and repair of the meter shall be paid for by Tenant,
and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly upon demand for all electric current consumed for any special power use as shown by
the meter. The reimbursement shall be at the rates charged for electrical power by the local public utility furnishing the current,
plus any additional expense incurred in keeping account of the electric current consumed.


 


3.       Landlord shall furnish
water for drinking, personal hygiene and lavatory purposes only. If Tenant requires or uses water for any purposes in addition
to ordinary drinking, cleaning and lavatory purposes, Landlord may, in its discretion, install a water meter to measure Tenant’s
water consumption. Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost of the meter and the cost of its installation, and for consumption throughout
the duration of Tenant’s occupancy. Tenant shall keep the meter and installed equipment in good working order and repair
at Tenant’s own cost and expense, in default of which Landlord may cause the meter to be replaced or repaired at Tenant’s
expense. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed, as shown on the meter and when bills are rendered, and on Tenant’s default
in making that payment Landlord may pay the charges on behalf of Tenant. Any costs or expenses or payments made by Landlord for
any of the reasons or purposes stated above shall be deemed to be additional rent payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.


 


4.       In the event that
any utility service to the Premises is separately metered or billed to Tenant, Tenant shall pay all charges for that utility service
to the Premises and the cost of furnishing the utility to tenant suites shall be excluded from the Operating Expenses as to which
reimbursement from Tenant is required in the Lease. If any utility charges are not paid when due Landlord may pay them, and any
amounts paid by Landlord shall immediately become due to Landlord from Tenant as additional rent. If Landlord elects to furnish
any utility service to the Premises, Tenant shall purchase its requirements of that utility from Landlord as long as the rates
charged by Landlord do not exceed those which Tenant would be required to pay if the utility service were furnished it directly
by a public utility.


 


5.       Landlord shall provide
janitorial services five days per week, equivalent to that furnished in comparable buildings, and window washing as reasonably
required; provided, however, that Tenant shall pay for any additional or unusual janitorial services required by reason of any
nonstandard improvements in the Premises, including without limitation wall coverings and floor coverings installed by or for Tenant,
or by reason of any use of Premises other than exclusively as offices. The cleaning services provided by Landlord shall also exclude
refrigerators, eating utensils (plates, drinking containers and silverware), and interior glass partitions. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the cost of removal of any of Tenant’s refuse and rubbish, to the extent that they exceed the refuse and rubbish
usually attendant with general office usage.


 



    	1



    	 



    

 


6.       Tenant shall have
access to the Building 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 52 weeks per year; provided that Landlord may install access control
systems as it deems advisable for the Building. Such systems may, but need not, include full or part-time lobby supervision, the
use of a sign-in sign-out log, a card identification access system, building parking and access pass system, closing hours procedures,
access control stations, fire stairwell exit door alarm system, electronic guard system, mobile paging system, elevator control
system or any other access controls. In the event that Landlord elects to provide any or all of those services, Landlord may discontinue
providing them at any time with or without notice. Landlord may impose a reasonable charge for access control cards and/or keys
issued to Tenant. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for the provision by Landlord of improper access control services,
for any breakdown in service, or for the failure by Landlord to provide access control services. Tenant further acknowledges that
Landlord’s access systems may be temporarily inoperative during building emergency and system repair periods. Tenant agrees
to assume responsibility for compliance by its employees with any regulations established by Landlord with respect to any card
key access or any other system of building access as Landlord may establish. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any loss or
damage resulting from its or its employees use of any access system.


 


7.       The costs of operating,
maintaining and repairing any supplemental air conditioning unit serving only the Premises shall be borne solely by Tenant. Such
costs shall include all metered electrical charges as described above in this Exhibit, together with the cost, as reasonably estimated
by Landlord, to supply cooling water or other means of heat dissipation for the unit. Should Tenant desire to install such a unit,
the plans and specifications must be submitted in advance to Landlord and approved in writing by Landlord. Such installation shall
be at Tenant's sole expense and shall include installation of a separate meter for the operation of the unit. Landlord may require
Tenant to remove at Lease expiration any such unit installed by or for Tenant and to repair any resulting damage to the Premises
or Building.

EXHIBIT C


 


PARKING


 


The following parking
regulations shall be in effect at the Building. Landlord reserves the right to adopt reasonable, nondiscriminatory modifications
and additions to the regulations by written notice to Tenant. In the case of any conflict between these regulations and the Lease,
the Lease shall be controlling.


 


1.       Landlord agrees
to maintain, or cause to be maintained, an automobile parking area (“Parking Area”) in reasonable proximity to the
Building for the benefit and use of the visitors and patrons and, except as otherwise provided, employees of Tenant, and other
tenants and occupants of the Building. The Parking Area shall include, whether in a surface parking area or a parking structure,
the automobile parking stalls, driveways, entrances, exits, sidewalks and attendant pedestrian passageways and other areas designated
for parking. Landlord shall have the right and privilege of determining the nature and extent of the automobile Parking Area, whether
it shall be surface, underground or other structure, and of making such changes to the Parking Area from time to time which in
its opinion are desirable and for the best interests of all persons using the Parking Area. Landlord shall keep the Parking Area
in a neat, clean and orderly condition, and shall repair any damage to its facilities. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage
to motor vehicles of visitors or employees, for any loss of property from within those motor vehicles, or for any injury to Tenant,
its visitors or employees, unless ultimately determined to be caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
Unless otherwise instructed by Landlord, every parker shall park and lock his or her own motor vehicle. Landlord shall also have
the right to establish, and from time to time amend, and to enforce against all users of the Parking Area all reasonable rules
and regulations (including the designation of areas for employee parking) as Landlord may deem necessary and advisable for the
proper and efficient operation and maintenance of the Parking Area. Garage managers or attendants are not authorized to make or
allow any exceptions to these regulations.


 


2.       Landlord may, if
it deems advisable in its sole discretion, charge for parking and may establish for the Parking Area a system or systems of permit
parking for Tenant, its employees and its visitors, which may include, but not be limited to, a system of charges against nonvalidated
parking, verification of users, a set of regulations governing different parking locations, and an allotment of reserved or nonreserved
parking spaces based upon the charges paid and the identity of users. In no event shall Tenant or its employees park in reserved
stalls leased to other tenants or in stalls within designated visitor parking zones, nor shall Tenant or its employees utilize
more than the number of parking stalls allotted in this Lease to Tenant. It is understood that Landlord shall not have any obligation
to cite improperly parked vehicles or otherwise attempt to enforce reserved parking rules during hours when parking attendants
are not present at the Parking Area. Tenant shall comply with such system in its use (and in the use of its visitors, patrons and
employees) of the Parking Area, provided, however, that the system and rules and regulations shall apply to all persons entitled
to the use of the Parking Area, and all charges to Tenant for use of the Parking Area shall be no greater than Landlord’s
then current scheduled charge for parking.


 


3.       Tenant shall, upon
request of Landlord from time to time, furnish Landlord with a list of its employees’ names and of Tenant’s and its
employees’ vehicle license numbers. Tenant agrees to acquaint its employees with these regulations and assumes responsibility
for compliance by its employees with these parking provisions, and shall be liable to Landlord for all unpaid parking charges incurred
by its employees. Any amount due from Tenant shall be deemed additional rent. Tenant authorizes Landlord to tow away from the Building
any vehicle belonging to Tenant or Tenant’s employees parked in violation of these provisions, and/or to attach violation
stickers or notices to those vehicles. In the event Landlord elects or is required to limit or control parking by tenants, employees,
visitors or invitees of the Building, whether by validation of parking tickets, parking meters or any other method of assessment,
Tenant agrees to participate in the validation or assessment program under reasonable rules and regulations as are established
by Landlord and/or any applicable governmental agency.


 


4.       Landlord may establish
an identification system for vehicles of Tenant and its employees which may consist of stickers, magnetic parking cards or other
parking access devices supplied by Landlord. All such parking access devices shall remain the property of Landlord, shall be displayed
as required by Landlord or upon request and may not be mutilated or obliterated in any manner. Those devices shall not be transferable
and any such device in the possession of an unauthorized holder shall be void and may be confiscated. Landlord may impose a reasonable
fee for access devices and a replacement charge for devices which are lost or stolen. Each access device shall be returned to Landlord
promptly following the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease. Loss or theft of parking access devices shall be reported
to Landlord or its Parking Area operator immediately and a written report of the loss filed if requested by Landlord or its Parking
Area operator.


 


5.       Persons using the
Parking Area shall observe all directional signs and arrows and any posted speed limits. Unless otherwise posted, in no event shall
the speed limit of 5 miles per hour be exceeded. All vehicles shall be parked entirely within painted stalls, and no vehicles shall
be parked in areas which are posted or marked as “no parking” or on or in ramps, driveways and aisles. Only one vehicle
may be parked in a parking space. In no event shall Tenant interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Parking Area by other tenants
of the Building or their employees or invitees.


 



    	1



    	 



    

 


6.       Parking Areas shall
be used only for parking vehicles. Washing, waxing, cleaning or servicing of vehicles, or the parking of any vehicle on an overnight
basis, in the Parking Area (other than emergency services) by any parker or his or her agents or employees is prohibited unless
otherwise authorized by Landlord. Tenant shall have no right to install any fixtures, equipment or personal property (other than
vehicles) in the Parking Area, nor shall Tenant make any alteration to the Parking Area.


 


7.       It is understood
that the employees of Tenant and the other tenants of Landlord within the Building and Project shall not be permitted to park their
automobiles in the portions of the Parking Area which may from time to time be designated for patrons of the Building and/or Project
and that Landlord shall at all times have the right to establish rules and regulations for employee parking. Landlord shall lease
to Tenant, and Tenant may lease from Landlord for the Term of this Lease, all or a portion of the total number of vehicle parking
spaces set forth in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions (the "Allotted Stalls"); provided that if Tenant elects to
lease more than the minimum number of seventeen (17) Allotted Stalls in accordance with Article I, Item 12, Tenant shall provide
Landlord with thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intent to do so. Once Tenant has provided such notice to Landlord, Tenant
shall be obligated to Lease such stalls for the remainder of the Term of this Lease. During the initial Term of this Lease only,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord for the lease of the Allotted Stalls the following: (i) $50.00 per unreserved stall per month utilized,
and (ii) $120.00 per reserved stall per month. Thereafter, the charge for the Allotted Stalls shall be the monthly amounts as Landlord
shall from time to time determine. Should any monthly parking charge not be paid within five (5) days following the date due, then
a late charge shall be payable by Tenant equal to the greater of (i) five percent (5%) of the delinquent installment or (ii) One
Hundred Dollars ($100.00), which late charge shall be separate and in addition to any late charge that may be assessed pursuant
to Section 14.3 of the Lease for other than delinquent monthly parking charges. Landlord may authorize persons other than those
described above, including occupants of other buildings, to utilize the Parking Area. In the event of the use of the Parking Area
by other persons, those persons shall pay for that use in accordance with the terms established above; provided, however, Landlord
may allow those persons to use the Parking Area on weekends, holidays, and at other non-office hours without payment.


 


8.       Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraphs 1 through 7, Landlord shall be entitled to pass on to Tenant its proportionate share of any charges or
parking surcharge or transportation management costs levied by any governmental agency. The foregoing parking provisions are further
subject to any governmental regulations which limit parking or otherwise seek to encourage the use of carpools, public transit
or other alternative transportation forms or traffic reduction programs. Tenant agrees that it will use its best efforts to cooperate,
including registration and attendance, in programs which may be undertaken to reduce traffic. Tenant acknowledges that as a part
of those programs, it may be required to distribute employee transportation information, participate in employee transportation
surveys, allow employees to participate in commuter activities, designate a liaison for commuter transportation activities, distribute
commuter information to all employees, and otherwise participate in other programs or services initiated under a transportation
management program.


 


9.       Should any parking
spaces be allotted by Landlord to Tenant, either on a reserved or nonreserved basis, Tenant shall not assign or sublet any of those
spaces, either voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Landlord, except in connection with an
authorized assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises.

EXHIBIT D


 


TENANT’S INSURANCE


 


The following requirements
for Tenant’s insurance shall be in effect at the Building, and Tenant shall also cause any subtenant to comply with the requirements.
Landlord reserves the right to adopt reasonable nondiscriminatory modifications and additions to these requirements. Tenant agrees
to obtain and present evidence to Landlord that it has fully complied with the insurance requirements.


 


1.       Tenant shall, at
its sole cost and expense, commencing on the date Tenant is given access to the Premises for any purpose and during the entire
Term, procure, pay for and keep in full force and effect: (i) commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Premises
and the operations of or on behalf of Tenant in, on or about the Premises, including but not limited to coverage for personal injury,
contractual liability, independent contractors, broad form property damage, fire legal liability, products liability (if a product
is sold from the Premises), and liquor law liability (if alcoholic beverages are sold, served or consumed within the Premises),
which policy(ies) shall be written on an “occurrence” basis and for not less than $2,000,000 combined single limit
(with a $50,000 minimum limit on fire legal liability) per occurrence for bodily injury, death, and property damage liability,
or the current limit of liability carried by Tenant, whichever is greater, and subject to such increases in amounts as Landlord
may determine from time to time; (ii) workers’ compensation insurance coverage as required by law, together with employers’
liability insurance coverage of at least $1,000,000; (iii) with respect to improvements, alterations, and the like required or
permitted to be made by Tenant under this Lease, builder’s risk insurance, in an amount equal to the replacement cost of
the work; (iv) insurance against fire, vandalism, malicious mischief and such other additional perils as may be included in a standard
“special form” policy, insuring all Tenant Installations, trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and items of personal
property in the Premises, in an amount equal to not less than ninety percent (90%) of their actual replacement cost (with replacement
cost endorsement), which policy shall also include business interruption coverage in an amount sufficient to cover one (1) year
of loss. In no event shall the limits of any policy be considered as limiting the liability of Tenant under this Lease.


 


2.       All policies of
insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Exhibit shall be written by responsible insurance companies authorized
to do business in the State of California and with a general policyholder rating of not less than “A-” and financial
rating of not less than “VIII” in the most current Best’s Insurance Report. The deductible or other retained
limit under any policy carried by Tenant shall be commercially reasonable, and Tenant shall be responsible for payment of such
retained limit with full waiver of subrogation in favor of Landlord. Any insurance required of Tenant may be furnished by Tenant
under any blanket policy carried by it or under a separate policy. A certificate of insurance, certifying that the policy has been
issued, provides the coverage required by this Exhibit and contains the required provisions, together with endorsements acceptable
to Landlord evidencing the waiver of subrogation and additional insured provisions required below, shall be delivered to Landlord
prior to the date Tenant is given the right of possession of the Premises. Proper evidence of the renewal of any insurance coverage
shall also be delivered to Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the coverage. In the event of a loss
covered by any policy under which Landlord is an additional insured, Landlord shall be entitled to review a copy of such policy.


 


3.       Each policy evidencing
insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Exhibit shall contain the following provisions and/or clauses satisfactory
to Landlord: (i) with respect to Tenant’s commercial general liability insurance, a provision that the policy and the coverage
provided shall be primary and that any coverage carried by Landlord shall be excess of and noncontributory with any policies carried
by Tenant, together with a provision including Landlord, The Irvine Company LLC, and any other parties in interest designated by
Landlord as additional insureds; (ii) except with respect to Tenant's commercial general liability insurance, a waiver by the insurer
of any right to subrogation against Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors and representatives which arises or might arise
by reason of any payment under the policy or by reason of any act or omission of Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors or
representatives; and (iii) a provision that the insurer will not cancel or change the coverage provided by the policy without first
giving Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice. Tenant shall also name Landlord as an additional insured on any excess or
umbrella liability insurance policy carried by Tenant.


 


4.       In the event that
Tenant fails to procure, maintain and/or pay for, at the times and for the durations specified in this Exhibit, any insurance required
by this Exhibit, or fails to carry insurance required by any governmental authority, Landlord may at its election procure that
insurance and pay the premiums, in which event Tenant shall repay Landlord all sums paid by Landlord, together with interest at
the maximum rate permitted by law and any related costs or expenses incurred by Landlord, within ten (10) days following Landlord’s
written demand to Tenant.


 


NOTICE TO TENANT: IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE, TENANT MUST PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF THE REQUIRED INSURANCE TO LANDLORD’S MANAGEMENT AGENT PRIOR TO BEING
AFFORDED ACCESS TO THE PREMISES.

EXHIBIT E


 


RULES AND REGULATIONS


 


The following Rules
and Regulations shall be in effect at the Building. Landlord reserves the right to adopt reasonable nondiscriminatory modifications
and additions at any time. In the case of any conflict between these regulations and the Lease, the Lease shall be controlling.


 


1.       Except with the
prior written consent of Landlord, or unless otherwise specifically authorized in this Lease, Tenant shall not sell or permit the
retail sale of goods or services in or from the Premises, nor shall Tenant allow the Premises to be utilized for any manufacturing
or medical practice.


 


2.       The sidewalks, halls,
passages, elevators, stairways, and other common areas shall not be obstructed by Tenant or used by it for storage, for depositing
items, or for any purpose other than for ingress to and egress from the Premises. The halls, passages, entrances, elevators, stairways,
balconies and roof are not for the use of the general public, and Landlord shall in all cases retain the right to control and prevent
access to those areas of all persons whose presence, in the judgment of Landlord, shall be prejudicial to the safety, character,
reputation and interests of the Building and its tenants. Should Tenant have access to any balcony or patio area, Tenant shall
not place any furniture or other personal property in such area without the prior written approval of Landlord. Nothing contained
in this Lease shall be construed to prevent access to persons with whom Tenant normally deals only for the purpose of conducting
its business on the Premises (such as clients, customers, office suppliers and equipment vendors and the like) unless those persons
are engaged in illegal activities. Neither Tenant nor any employee or contractor of Tenant shall go upon the roof of the Building
without the prior written consent of Landlord.


 


3.       The sashes, sash
doors, windows, glass lights, solar film and/or screen, and any lights or skylights that reflect or admit light into the halls
or other places of the Building shall not be covered or obstructed. The toilet rooms, water and wash closets and other water apparatus
shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which they were constructed, and no foreign substance of any kind shall be
thrown in those facilities, and the expense of any breakage, stoppage or damage resulting from the violation of this rule shall
be borne by Tenant.


 


4.       No sign, advertisement
or notice visible from the exterior of the Premises shall be inscribed, painted or affixed by Tenant on any part of the Building
or the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord. If Landlord shall have given its consent at any time, whether before
or after the execution of this Lease, that consent shall in no way operate as a waiver or release of any of the provisions of this
Lease, and shall be deemed to relate only to the particular sign, advertisement or notice so consented to by Landlord and shall
not be construed as dispensing with the necessity of obtaining the specific written consent of Landlord with respect to any subsequent
sign, advertisement or notice. If Landlord, by a notice in writing to Tenant, shall object to any curtain, blind, tinting, shade
or screen attached to, or hung in, or used in connection with, any window or door of the Premises, the use of that curtain, blind,
tinting, shade or screen shall be immediately discontinued and removed by Tenant. No awnings shall be permitted on any part of
the Premises. No antenna or satellite dish shall be installed by Tenant that is either located or visible from outside the Premises
without the prior written agreement of Landlord.


 


5.       Tenant shall not
do or permit anything to be done in the Premises, or bring or keep anything in the Premises, which shall in any way increase the
rate of fire insurance on the Building, or on the property kept in the Building, or obstruct or interfere with the rights of other
tenants, or in any way injure or annoy them, or conflict with the regulations of the Fire Department or the fire laws, or with
any insurance policy upon the Building, or any portion of the Building or its contents, or with any rules and ordinances established
by the Board of Health or other governmental authority.


 


6.       The installation
and location of any unusually heavy equipment in the Premises, including without limitation file storage units, safes and electronic
data processing equipment, shall require the prior written approval of Landlord. Landlord may restrict the weight and position
of any equipment that may exceed the weight load limits for the structure of the Building, and may further require, at Tenant’s
expense, the reinforcement of any flooring on which such equipment may be placed and/or an engineering study to be performed to
determine whether the equipment may safely be installed in the Building and the necessity of any reinforcement. The moving of large
or heavy objects shall occur only between those hours as may be designated by, and only upon previous written notice to, Landlord,
and the persons employed to move those objects in or out of the Building must be reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, no freight, furniture or bulky matter of any description shall be received into or moved out of
the lobby of the Building or carried in any elevator other than the freight elevator designated by Landlord unless approved in
writing by Landlord.

7.       Landlord shall clean
the Premises as provided in the Lease, and except with the written consent of Landlord, no person or persons other than those approved

or kept any foul or noxious gas or substance in the Premises, or permit or suffer the Premises to be occupied or used in a manner
offensive or objectionable to Landlord or other occupants of the Building by reason of noise, odors and/or vibrations, or interfere
in any way with other tenants or those having business with other tenants, nor shall any animals or birds be kept by Tenant in
or about the Building. Neither Tenant nor its employees, agents, contractors, invitees or licensees shall bring any firearm, whether
loaded or unloaded, into the Project at any time. Smoking or carrying of lighted cigars, cigarettes, pipes or similar products
anywhere within the Premises or Building is strictly prohibited, and Landlord may enforce such prohibition pursuant to Landlord’s
leasehold remedies. Smoking is permitted outside the Building and within the project only in areas designated by Landlord.


 


9.       No cooking shall
be done or permitted by Tenant on the Premises, except pursuant to the normal use of a U.L. approved microwave oven and coffee
maker for the benefit of Tenant’s employees and invitees, nor shall the Premises be used for the storage of merchandise or
for lodging. Any pipes or tubing used by Tenant to transmit water to an appliance or device in the Premises must be made of copper
or stainless steel, and in no event shall plastic tubing be used for that purpose.


 


10.       Tenant shall not
use or keep in the Building any kerosene, gasoline, or inflammable fluid or any other illuminating material, or use any method
of heating other than that supplied by Landlord.

telephone, telegraph, burglar alarm or similar connections, Landlord will direct electricians as to where and how the wires are
to be introduced. No boring or cutting for wires or otherwise shall be made without directions from Landlord.


 


12.       Upon the termination
of its tenancy, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all the keys to offices, rooms and toilet rooms and all access cards which shall

other material which may easily be removed with water, the use of cement or other similar adhesive materials being expressly prohibited.
The method of affixing any floor covering shall be subject to approval by Landlord. The expense of repairing any damage resulting
from a violation of this rule shall be borne by Tenant.


 


14.       On Saturdays, Sundays
and legal holidays, and on other days between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., access to the Building, or to the halls, corridors,
elevators or stairways in the Building, or to the Premises, may be refused unless the person seeking access complies with any access
control system that Landlord may establish. Landlord shall in no case be liable for damages for the admission to or exclusion from
the Building of any person whom Landlord has the right to exclude under Rules 2 or 18 of this Exhibit. In case of invasion, mob,
riot, public excitement, or other commotion, or in the event of any other situation reasonably requiring the evacuation of the
Building, Landlord reserves the right at its election and without liability to Tenant to prevent access to the Building by closing
the doors or otherwise, for the safety of the tenants and protection of property in the Building.


 


15.       Tenant shall be
responsible for protecting the Premises from theft, which includes keeping doors and other means of entry closed and securely locked.

18.       Landlord shall
have full and absolute authority to regulate or prohibit the entrance to the Premises of any vendor, supplier, purveyor, petitioner,

activities, or the proselytizing, petitioning, or disturbance of other tenants or their customers or invitees, or engaged or likely
to engage in conduct which may in Landlord’s opinion distract from the use of the Premises for its intended purpose. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Landlord reserves the absolute right and discretion to limit or prevent access to the Buildings by any food or beverage

EXHIBIT X


 


WORK LETTER


 


Landlord shall cause
its contractor to make the following improvements to the Premises: repaint all painted wall surfaces and install new carpet (“Tenant
Improvements”). Landlord's total contribution for the Tenant Improvements, inclusive of space planning costs and Landlord's
construction management fee, shall not exceed Sixty-Four Thousand Nine Hundred Forty Dollars ($64,940.00) (“Landlord Contribution”),
and any additional cost shall be borne solely by Tenant and paid to Landlord prior to the commencement of construction. It is understood
that Landlord shall be entitled to a supervision/administrative fee equal to five percent (5%) of the total construction cost,
which fee shall be paid from the Landlord Contribution. Tenant understands and agrees that any portion of the Landlord Contribution
not utilized by Tenant by June 30, 2012, shall inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit
or payment. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord, all materials and finishes utilized in constructing the Tenant Improvements
shall be Landlord's building standard. Should Landlord submit any additional plans, equipment specification sheets, or other matters
to Tenant for approval or completion, Tenant shall respond in writing, as appropriate, within three (3) business days unless a
shorter period is provided h858erein. Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any matter, and any disapproval shall
be with reasons specified.


 


In the event that
Tenant requests any changes or additional work (“Changes”), then provided such Change is acceptable to Landlord, Landlord
shall advise Tenant by written change order of any additional cost and/or Tenant Delay (as defined below) such change would cause.
Tenant shall approve or disapprove such change order in writing within two (2) business days following its receipt. Tenant's approval
of a change order shall not be effective unless accompanied by payment in full of the additional cost of the Tenant Improvement
work resulting from the change order, regardless of any unutilized portion of the Landlord Contribution. It is understood that
Landlord shall have no obligation to interrupt or modify the Tenant Improvement work pending Tenant's approval of a change order.


 


Notwithstanding any
provision in the Lease to the contrary, if Tenant fails to comply with any of the time periods specified in this Work Letter, requests
any Changes to the work, fails to make timely payment of any sum due hereunder, furnishes inaccurate or erroneous specifications
or other information, or otherwise delays in any manner the completion of the Tenant Improvements or the issuance of an occupancy
certificate (any of the foregoing being referred to in this Lease as a "Tenant Delay"), then Tenant shall bear any resulting
additional construction cost or other expenses and the Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred for all purposes, including
Tenant's obligation to pay rent, as of the date Landlord reasonably determines that it would have been able to deliver the Premises
to Tenant but for the collective Tenant Delays.


 


Tenant hereby designates
Robin Chapman, Telephone No.(858) 652-6804, as its representative, agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of receiving notices,
approving submittals and issuing requests for Changes, and Landlord shall be entitled to rely upon authorizations and directives
of such person(s) as if given by Tenant. Tenant may amend the designation of its construction representative(s) at any time upon
delivery of written notice to Landlord.
