by giving written notice to Lessee within ten (10) business days after receipt of Lessee’s notice, to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the premises described in Lessee’s notice, effective as of the date stated in Lessee’s
notice. If the Lease terminates pursuant to the foregoing with respect to less than all of the premises, the rent shall be adjusted on a equitable basis and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect with respect to

thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereof, or suffer any other person (the agents and employees of Lessee excepted) to occupy or use the premises, or any portion thereof, without the prior written consent of Lessor, and a consent to one
assignment, subletting, occupation, or use by any other person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation, or use by any other person. Any such assignment or subletting without such consent shall be
void, and shall, at the option of Lessor, terminate this Lease. Any transfer or assignment of this Lease by operation of law without the written consent of Lessor shall make this Lease voidable at the option of Lessor. 
 
If Lessor does not exercise Lessor’s right to terminate
this Lease pursuant to the foregoing provisions, and provided that no default by Lessee remains uncured, Lessor will not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting by Lessee, provided that (a) the assignee or sublessee is
financially responsible and proposed to use the premises for the same purpose specified in the Schedule or for a purpose which is permitted by applicable zoning ordinances and regulations; (b) the proposed use is not injurious to the premises and
will not disturb other tenants of Lessor in the building or immediate vicinity; (c) the assignee or sublessee executes and delivers to Lessor a written assumption of this Lease in form acceptable to Lessor; (d) Lessee shall remain liable hereunder
in the case of any sublease; and (e) Lessee shall not be released from liability hereunder in the case of an assignment of this Lease, unless Lessor, in Lessor’s sole discretion, consents in writing to the release of Lessee. 
 
Every assignment of sublease shall recite that it is and
shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of this Lease, and the termination of this Lease shall constitute a termination of every such assignment or sublease. 
 
All rent or other consideration payable to or received by Lessee from any such sublessee or assignee in
excess of rent due hereunder (or the amount thereof proportionate to the sublease, if applicable) shall be paid to Lessor as additional rent under this Lease, without any deduction whatsoever. 
 

	18.	 	EMINENT DOMAIN: If the whole or any substantial part of the building or appurtenant real property shall be taken or condemned by any competent authority for
any public use or purpose, the term of this Lease shall end upon, and not before, the date when the possession of the part so taken shall be required for such use or purpose. Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. Lessee shall
be entitled to receive any damages awarded by the court for leasehold improvements installed at Lessee’s expense. The entire balance of the award shall be the property of Lessor. 

 

	19.	 	SUBORDINATION: The rights of Lessee under this Lease shall be and they are subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust
or hereafter in force against the property, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof, and Lessee shall execute such further instruments subordinating this lease to the lien of any such encumbrance, as shall be
requested by Lessor, provided the holder of such encumbrances agrees to recognize Lessee’s interest hereunder if Lessee 

 

4 








 
is not then
in default. Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints Lessor as attorney in fact for Lessee with full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name of Lessee any such instrument. 
 
If any mortgage or beneficiary elects to have this lease superior to its mortgage or deed of trust and gives
notice of such fact to Lessee, then this Lease shall be deemed superior to the lien of any such encumbrances, whether this Lease or a memorandum thereof is dated or recorded before or after said encumbrance. 
 

	20.	 	SIGNS: Lessee shall not place any signs, lettering, marks, photographs, or any other material whatsoever, on the interior or exterior of the door, windows,
hallways, or any other places, in, or about the premises, the building, or its appurtenances, without Lessor’s prior written approval of the size, style, design, color, material, manner of applying or fastening, and location thereof.


 

	21.	 	REMEDIES: If Lessee fails to make any payment of any sum due under this lease for ten (10) days after written notice from Lessor, or if Lessee breaches any
other term of this Lease (including Lessee’s compliance with Paragraph 1E, 1J, 5 and 15 [USE and PARKING]) for twenty (20) days after written notice from Lessor, or if Lessee’s interest herein, or any part thereof, is assigned or
transferred, either voluntarily or by operation of law (except as expressly permitted by other provisions of this Lease), then, in any of such events, Lessor may, at its option, elect the remedies specified in either subparagraph (a) or (b) below:


 
(a) Lessor may terminate
Lessee’s right to possession and repossess the premises and remove all persons and property therefrom. If Lessor terminates Lessee’s right to possession and repossesses the premises because of a breach of this Lease, this Lease shall
terminate and Lessor may recover from Lessee: 
 
(1) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination including interest at an annual rate equal to the Lessor of (a) the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco as
of the date of this Lease, plus 5%; or (b) the maximum lawful rate of interest as of the date of the breach; 
 
(2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided including interest at a rate as set forth above in subparagraph 1. 
 
(3) the worth at the time of award of the month by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after
the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and 
 
(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessor’s failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. 
 
(b) If Lessor does not terminate Lessee’s right to possession and repossess the premises, then this Lease shall continue in effect
for so long as Lessor does not terminate Lessee’s right to possession and Lessor may enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent and other sums due from Lessee hereunder. For the purpose of
this Paragraph 21, the following do not constitute a termination of Lessee’s right to possession:

storage for the account of and at the expense of Lessee. In the event that Lessee shall not pay the cost of storing any such property after the property has been stored for a period of ninety (90) days or more, Lessor may sell any or all such
property, at public or private sale, in such manner and at such times and places as may be commercially reasonable. Lessor shall apply the proceeds of such sale first to the cost and expenses of such sale, including reasonable attorney’s fees
actually incurred; second, to the payment of the cost of storing any such property, third, to payment of any other amount which may then or thereafter be due to Lessor from Lessee under any of the terms hereof; and, fourth, the balance, if any, to
Lessee. 

 
23. SURRENDER: The voluntary or
other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Lessor, (i) terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or (ii) operate as an assignment to Lessor of any or
all such subleases or subtenancies. 
 
24. TRANSFER OF
SECURITY: Lessor may transfer or deliver any security any security given by Lessee to secure to faithful performance of this Lease to the purchaser or successor of Lessor’s interest in the premises, and upon, and giving Lessee written
notice thereof Lessor shall be discharged from any further liability for such security.

25. WAIVER: The waiver
by Lessor or Lessee of any breach of any term, covenant, or condition of this lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant, or condition of this lease.
The subsequent acceptance of rent by Lessor shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless
