2.           
 Use of License Area. Licensee shall use the Temporary Space solely for general office use and shall not use or permit the

shall each observe faithfully and comply strictly with (a) all applicable laws, statutes, regulations, ordinances and municipal and county

that Licensor may consider advisable (in its sole and absolute discretion). Licensee shall not make any improvement or alteration to the
License Area in any manner without the express written consent of Licensor, which may be withheld in Licensor’s sole discretion.


 


3.           
Acceptance of License Area. By executing this License, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it has examined the License
Area and the Project and accepts the same in their "AS-IS" condition existing as of the date hereof and without any representation
or warranty whatsoever having been made by Licensor or any agents or representatives of Licensor concerning the License Area or the Project
or their condition or suitability for Licensee's proposed use. Upon the expiration or termination of the Term, Licensee shall quit and
surrender possession of the Temporary Space to Landlord in broom clean condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Upon such expiration

may dispose of such property as Licensor may deem fit with no liability of any type to Licensee or those claiming under Licensee.


 


4.           
Insurance. At all times during the term hereof, Licensee shall maintain (a) commercial general liability insurance insuring
against claims of bodily injury, personal injury and property damage arising out of Licensee's operations, including a broad form commercial
general liability endorsement covering Licensee's indemnification obligations herein, for limits of liability not less than $1,000,000
for each occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate for bodily injury and property damage liability as well as personal injury liability

of California; and (II) provide that said insurance shall not be canceled or coverage changed unless thirty (30) days prior written
notice shall have been given to Licensor. In addition, the liability insurance shall name Licensor and any other party specified by Licensor
as an additional insured, shall be primary insurance as to all claims thereunder and provide that any insurance obtained by Licensor is

interest clause acceptable to Licensor. Licensee shall deliver all policies or certificates thereof to Licensor before using the License
Area and at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates thereof. Licensee agrees to have its insurer(s) waive any rights of subrogation
that such company may have against Licensor. Licensee waives any right Licensee may have against Licensor as a result of any loss or damage,
to the extent such loss or damage is to be covered under the insurance policies described in this Section 4, regardless of the cause and
whether any such policies are actually in effect.


 


5.            Mutual
Indemnification. Each party ("Indemnitor") shall indemnify, defend (with counsel satisfactory to the other
party), and hold harmless the other party and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners, agents, employees,
contractors and representatives (together, "Indemnitees") from and against any and all claims, losses or
damages arising from a breach of this License by Indemnitor, the negligence or willful misconduct of Indemnitor or its employees,
agents and representatives, and in the case of Licensee, the use by Licensee and its directors, partners, agents, employees,
contractors, invitees, and representatives of the License Area; provided that Licensee, as a material part of the consideration to
Licensor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in or about the License Area from any cause whatsoever
and Licensor shall have no liability in connection therewith, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Licenseor. Licensee shall not suffer or permit to be recorded or enforced against the License Area or any portion of
the Project any claims, liens or demands and shall promptly pay or cause to be paid any such claim, lien or demand.

with respect to any of the provisions of this License or the License Area. If Licensor is in breach or default with respect to Licensor's
obligations under this License, Licensee shall look solely to the equity interest of Licensor in the Building for the satisfaction of
Licensee's remedies or judgments. Under no circumstances shall Licensor-related Indemnitees be liable for consequential damages, including,
without limitation, injury to Licensee's business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom.

without notice or demand. The rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.


 


8.           
Assignment. Licensee shall not assign this License or any interest in this License or permit the use of the License Area
by any person or persons other than Licensee and its employees. Any attempted assignment or sublicensing shall automatically void this
License.
