 3. Term. 
  

3.1. Description of Term. The term of this Lease (“Term”) shall commence on the “Lease Commencement Date”,
as defined in the Principal Lease Provisions, and shall expire on the “Expiration Date”, as defined below. 
  
 3.2. Expiration Date. The term “Expiration Date”, as used in this Lease, shall mean the Initial Expiration Date or any
earlier date upon which this Lease is terminated by Landlord, as provided below. 
  
 4. Delivery of Possession. 
  
 4.1. Delivery Requirements. On or before the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord, at its cost, shall have Substantially Completed the work, if any, required to be completed by Landlord prior to the delivery of
the Premises to Tenant, as described in Exhibit “C” to this Lease (the “Landlord’s Work”) and shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant (subject to Landlord’s reserved rights hereunder and
Landlord’s right to continue the completion of Landlord’s Work without material interference by Tenant). If possession of the Premises (including, without limitation, Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Work, if any) is not
delivered to Tenant on or before the estimated Lease Commencement Date stated in the Principal Lease Provisions, then Landlord shall not be liable for any damage caused by such delay, and such delay shall neither affect the validity of this Lease,
affect Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, nor extend the Term. 
  
 4.2. Definition of Substantial Completion. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Substantially Complete” (and its grammatical variations, such as Substantial Completion) when used with reference to
Landlord’s Work, will mean that Landlord’s Work has been completed to such an extent that Tenant can commence its work, if any, to be undertaken by Tenant, as described in Exhibit “C” to this Lease (the “Tenant’s
Work”), without material delay or interference due to the completion of Landlord’s Work. 
  
 4.3. Final Completion. Except for (i) any items set forth on a written, detailed “punch-list” of excepted items delivered
to Landlord upon the date Landlord notifies Tenant that the Landlord’s Work is finally completed (the “Completion Date”), or (ii) any latent defects in Landlord’s Work which Tenant, despite reasonable inspection of the Premises
fails to discover as of the Completion Date, Tenant shall, as of the Completion Date, be deemed to have (a) thoroughly inspected the Premises, and determined that, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, the Premises comply with all applicable laws
and ordinances, and that the Premises are in first-class condition and repair, (b) acknowledged that Landlord’s Work has been finally completed, (c) accepted the Premises in its then as-is condition with no right to require Landlord to perform
any additional work therein, except as set forth on the punch list or to correct latent defects, and (d) waived any express or implied warranties regarding the condition of the Premises, including any implied warranties of fitness for a particular
purpose or merchantability. 
  
 5. Use of Premises and Common
Areas. 
  
 5.1. Permitted Use of
Premises. Tenant may use the Premises for the Permitted Use specified in the Principal Lease Provisions and for no other use without Landlord’s consent. Any change in the Permitted Use (or any change in Tenant’s trade name from the
Permitted Trade Name identified in the Principal Lease Provisions) will require Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. 
  
 5.2. Compliance with Laws. Landlord covenants that
the Premises will comply with all applicable laws as of the Lease Commencement Date. Thereafter, Tenant shall comply with all laws concerning the Premises and/or Tenant’s use of the Premises, including without limitation the obligation at
Tenant’s sole cost to alter, maintain, or restore the Premises in compliance with all applicable laws, even if such laws are enacted after the date of this Lease, and even if compliance entails costs to Tenant of a substantial nature. Such
obligation to comply with laws shall include, without limitation, compliance with Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12181 et seq.) (the “ADA”). If Tenant’s specific use of the Premises results
in the need for modifications or alterations to any portion of the Project in order to comply with the ADA or other applicable laws, then Tenant shall additionally be responsible, upon demand, for the cost of such modifications and alterations plus
a supervisory fee of ten percent (10%) of such cost payable to Landlord. 
  
 5.3. Condition During Periods of Non-Use. During any period of time in which Tenant is not continuously using and occupying the Premises, Tenant shall take such measures as may be necessary or desirable, in
Landlord’s reasonable opinion, to secure the Premises from break-ins and use by unauthorized persons, to minimize the appearance of non-use, and to otherwise maintain the interior and exterior portions of Tenant’s Premises, including all
windows and doors, in first class condition. 
  
 5.4. Use of Common Areas. Tenant’s use of the Common Areas shall at all times comply with the provisions of all reasonable Rules (as defined below) regarding such use as Landlord may from time to time adopt. In no event shall
the rights granted to Tenant to use the Common Areas include the right to store any property in the Common Areas, whether temporarily or permanently. Any property stored in the Common Areas may be removed by Landlord and disposed of, and the cost of
such removal and disposal shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Additionally, in no event may Tenant use any portion of the Common Areas for loading, unloading, or parking, except in those areas specifically designated by Landlord for
such purposes, nor for any group social event, sidewalk sale, employment fair, or similar unauthorized purpose. 
  
 5.5. General Covenants and Limitations on Use. In addition to the Rules, Tenant and Tenant’s Invitees (as defined below) use
of the Premises and the Project, will be subject to the following additional general covenants and limitations on use. 
  
 5.5.1. Tenant shall not do, bring, or keep anything in or about the Premises that will cause a cancellation of any insurance covering the
Premises. If the rate of any insurance carried by Landlord is increased 

  

 3 








 
as a result of Tenant’s use or Tenant’s failure to continuously use and occupy the Premises, Tenant shall pay the amount of such increase to
Landlord, within ten days after Landlord delivers to Tenant a notice of such increase. 
  
 5.5.2. No noxious or unreasonably offensive activity shall be carried on, in or upon the Premises by Tenant or Tenant’s Invitees, nor
shall anything be done or kept in the Premises which may be or become a public nuisance or which may cause unreasonable disturbance, or annoyance to others in the Project, or on adjacent or nearby property. To that end, Tenant additionally covenants
and agrees that no light shall be emitted from the Premises which is unreasonably bright or causes unreasonable glare; no sounds shall be emitted from the Premises which are unreasonably loud or annoying; and no odor shall be emitted from the
Premises which is or might be noxious or offensive to others in the Building, on the Project, or on adjacent or near-by property. 
  
 5.5.3. No unsightliness shall be permitted in the Premises which is visible from the Common Areas. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, all equipment, objects, and materials shall be kept enclosed within the Premises and in Common Areas trash enclosures and screened from view; no refuse, scraps, debris, garbage, trash, bulk materials, or waste shall be kept, stored, or
allowed to accumulate except as may be properly enclosed within appropriate containers in the Premises and promptly and properly disposed of. 
  
 5.5.4. The Premises shall not be used for sleeping or washing clothes, nor shall the Premises be used for cooking or the preparation,
manufacture, or mixing of anything that might emit any offensive odor or objectionable noises or lights onto the Project or nearby properties. 
  
 5.5.5. All pipes, wires, conduit, cabling, poles, antennas, and other equipment/facilities for or relating to utilities,
telecommunications, computer equipment, or the transmission or reception of audio or visual signals must be kept and maintained enclosed within the Premises (except to the extent included as part of Landlord’s Work, Tenant’s Work, or
otherwise approved by Landlord) 
  
 5.5.6. Tenant
shall not keep or permit to be kept any motorcycle, or other vehicle, nor any animal (excluding seeing-eye dogs), bird, reptile, or other exotic creature in the Premises. 
  
 5.5.7. Neither Tenant nor Tenant’s Invitees shall do anything that will cause damage or waste to the
Project. Neither the floor nor any other portion of the Premises shall be overloaded. No machinery, equipment, apparatus, or other appliance shall be used or operated in or on the Premises that will in any manner injure, vibrate, or shake all or any
part of the Project or be allowed to interfere with the equipment of any other tenant within the Project (or other property owned by Landlord or its affiliates), including, without limitation, interference with transmission and reception of
telephone, telecommunications, television, radio, or similar signals. 
  
 5.6. Access Rights. Tenant will have 24 hour-a-day, seven day-a-week access to the Building and the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure of such access rights will constitute an eviction or a
disturbance of Tenants use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease; except that Tenant shall be entitled to equitable abatement of its Rent (as defined below)
obligations hereunder to the extent such lack of access is due to Landlord’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct and continues for a period in excess of three business days. Landlord will not be liable, under any circumstances, for a
loss of or injury to property or for injury to or interference with Tenants business, including loss of profits through, in connection with, or incidental to a failure to furnish access under this Paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
agrees to use reasonable efforts to promptly correct any such interruption of access. 
  
 5.7. Remedies for Breach. In the event of any breach of this Paragraph 5 by Tenant or Tenant’s Invitees, Landlord, at its
election and in addition to its other rights and remedies under this Lease, may pay the cost of correcting such breach and Tenant shall immediately, upon demand, pay Landlord the cost thereof, plus a supervisory fee in the amount of ten percent
(10%) of such cost. 
  
 6. Security Deposit. Upon
Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, cash in the amount of the Security Deposit set forth in the Principal Lease Provisions, to secure the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, including
without limitation Tenant’s obligations (i) to pay Basic Monthly Rent and Additional Rent (as defined below), (ii) to repair damages to the Premises and/or the Project caused by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, licensees,
and invitees (collectively, “Tenant’s Invitees”), (iii) to surrender the Premises in the condition required by Paragraph 24, below, and (iv) to remedy any other Event of Default by Tenant in the performance of any of its obligations
under this Lease. If Tenant commits an Event of Default under this Lease, Landlord may, at its election, use the Security Deposit to cure such Event of Default, and to compensate Landlord for all damage suffered by Landlord which are directly
attributable to such Event of Default, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Landlord. Upon demand by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord a sum equal to any portion of the Security Deposit
so used by Landlord, in order to maintain the Security Deposit in the amount set forth in the Principal Lease Provisions. Following the Expiration Date, and within the earlier of 30 days or the time frame otherwise required by applicable law,
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, at Tenant’s last known address, any portion of the Security Deposit not used by Landlord, as provided in this Paragraph. Landlord may commingle the Security Deposit with Landlord’s other funds and Landlord
will not pay interest on such Security Deposit to Tenant. 
  
 7.
Rent and Rent Adjustments. 
  
 7.1.
Initial Monthly Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as minimum monthly rent, without deduction, setoff, prior notice, or demand (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease), the Basic Monthly Rent described in the Principal Lease
Provisions (subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 7.2, below), in advance, on or before the first day of each calendar month, beginning on the Rent Commencement Date and thereafter throughout the Term. If the Rent Commencement Date is other
than the first day of a calendar month, then the Basic 

  

 4 








 
Monthly Rent payable by Tenant for the second month of the Term following the Rent Commencement Date (acknowledging that the first month’s rent is
payable upon Lease execution) shall be prorated on the basis of the actual number of days during the Term occurring during the first partial calendar month thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is delayed in completion of
Landlord’s Work due to any Tenant Delays, then in addition to the Basic Monthly Rent payable for the first month of the Term following the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall additionally pay to Landlord, upon the Rent Commencement Date,
additional rent, at the rate of one-thirtieth of the Basic Monthly Rent per day, for the number of days of such delay. 
  
 7.2. Rental Adjustments. On each anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date throughout the Initial Lease Term, the Basic Monthly
Rent shall be increased by multiplying the then-existing Basic Monthly Rent amount by 1.035 (i.e. a three and one-half percent (3.5%) increase per year). 
  
 7.3. Additional Rent. In addition to paying the Basic Monthly Rent pursuant to this Paragraph 7,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord (in accordance with Paragraph 8, below), commencing on January 1, 2002, Tenant’s Share (as defined below) of the annual Direct Expenses that are in excess of the amount of Direct Expenses applicable to the Base
Year. The amounts payable pursuant to this Paragraph, together with other amounts of any kind (other than Basic Monthly Rent) payable by Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease, constitute additional rent for the Premises and are
collectively and individually referred to in this Lease as “Additional Rent.” 
  
 7.4. General Rental Provisions. All “Rent” (which includes Basic Monthly Rent, and any “Additional Rent”
hereunder) shall be paid to Landlord at the same address as notices are to be delivered to Landlord pursuant to the Principal Lease Provisions, as Landlord may change such address from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Lease. The Rentable
Area of the Premises and the Building are, at Landlord’s election, subject to verification by Landlord’s space planner or architect. That verification shall be made in accordance with this Paragraph. Tenant’s space planner or
architect may consult with Landlord’s space planner or architect regarding that verification. Verification of the Rentable Area of the Premises and the Building shall be done, if at all, within sixty (60) days of the Lease Commencement Date.
Verification of the Rentable Area of the Building may be accomplished within such 60-day period If Landlord’s space planner or architect determines that the Rentable Area of the Premises or the Building is different from that stated in this
Lease, all Rent and other calculations under this Lease that are based on that incorrect amount shall be modified in accordance with that determination. If that determination is made, it shall be confirmed in writing by Landlord to Tenant. In the
event Tenant disputes Landlord’s redetermination, and the parties are unable to agree upon the actual size of the Premises (as so re-measured) within 30 days of Landlord’s notice to Tenant, such issue will be arbitrated in the same manner
as matters are to be arbitrated pursuant to Paragraph 10.2. 
  
 8.

to the building or for supplies or other materials to the extent that the cost of the services, supplies, or materials exceeds the cost that would have been paid had the services, supplies, or materials been provided by unaffiliated parties on a
competitive basis, (xiv) any compensation paid to clerks, attendants, or other persons in commercial concessions operated by Landlord, (xv) advertising and promotional expenditures, (xvi) costs of repairs and other work occasioned by fire,

water, electricity, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, (b) janitorial/cleaning costs and the cost of operating, managing, maintaining, and repairing the Project Common Area and all related systems, including without limitation utility,
mechanical, sanitary, storm drainage, and elevator systems, (c) the cost of supplies and tools and of equipment, maintenance, and service contracts in connection with the systems referenced in clause (b), above, (d) the cost of licenses,
certificates, permits, and inspections relating to the Project, (e) the cost of contesting the validity or applicability of any government enactments that may affect the Project Operating Costs, (f) costs incurred in connection with the
implementation and operation of a parking or transportation management program or similar program, (g) all Tax Expenses, except to the extent such Tax Expenses relate to a separately assessed building in the Project and are separately paid by the
tenants of such building (such as pursuant to Paragraph 8.1.1, clause (b), above), (h) fees, charges, and other costs, including administrative, management fees, and accounting costs (or amounts in lieu of such fees), whether paid to Landlord, an
affiliate of Landlord’s, or a third party, consulting fees, legal fees, and accounting fees of all persons engaged by Landlord or otherwise reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with the operation, management, maintenance, and repair of
the Project, (i) the cost of parking area and parking structure maintenance, repair, and restoration, including, without limitation, resurfacing, repainting, restriping, and cleaning (excluding costs which are already included as part of the
Building Operating Costs relative to any parking areas located under a building, if any), (j) wages, salaries, and other compensation and benefits of all persons engaged in the operation, maintenance, or security of the Project plus employer’s
Social Security taxes, unemployment taxes, insurance, and any other taxes imposed on Landlord that may be levied on those wages, salaries, and other compensation and benefits. If any of Landlord’s employees provide services for more than one
project of Landlord, only the prorated portion of those employees’ wages, salaries, other compensation and benefits, and taxes reflecting the percentage of their working time devoted to the Project shall be included in Project Operating Costs,
(k) any costs or expenses payable pursuant to the provisions of any reciprocal easement and maintenance agreement (or similar instrument or agreement) recorded against the Project either now or in the future including any owner’s association or
similar fees, assessments or dues presently or hereafter established for the Project, including payments under any easement, CC&R’s, license, operating agreement, declaration, restrictive covenant, or other instrument relating to the
sharing of costs, (l) amortization (including interest on the unamortized cost at a rate 

  

 6 








 
equal to the floating commercial loan rate announced from time to time by Bank of America as its reference rate plus three percentage points per annum) of
the cost of acquiring or renting personal property used in the maintenance, repair, and operation of the Project, (m) reasonable reserves (it being acknowledged, that, among other amounts, and (n) any amount of reserves required by a Lender will be
deemed reasonable) the cost of capital improvements or other costs including, without limitation, those which (1) are intended as a labor saving device or to effect other economies in the maintenance or operation of all or part of the Project, or
(2) are required under any government law or regulation. All capital expenditures shall be amortized (including interest on the unamortized cost at the rate stated in subparagraph (l), above) over their useful life, as reasonably determined by
Landlord’s certified public accountant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Project Operating Costs will exclude any Excluded Costs relating to the Project. 
  
 8.1.8. Tenant’s Share. “Tenant’s Share” means a means a fraction, the numerator
of which is the total aggregate Rentable Square Feet in the Premises, and the denominator of which is the total aggregate Rentable Square Feet in the Building. If either the Premises or the Building are expanded or reduced, Tenant’s Share shall
be appropriately adjusted. Tenant’s Share for the Expense Year in which that change occurs shall be determined on the basis of the number of days during the Expense Year in which each such Tenant’s Share was in effect. 
  
 8.2. Adjustment of Operating Expenses. Operating
Expenses shall be adjusted as follows: 
  
 8.2.1.
Gross Up Adjustment When a Project Is Less Than Fully Occupied. If the occupancy of the total Rentable Square Footage of completed buildings within the Project (which are included in the calculation of the Building’s Pro Rata Share)
which are only partially occupied during any part of any Expense Year (including the Base Year) is less than 95%, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment of the variable components of the Operating Expenses for that Expense Year, as reasonably
determined by Landlord using sound accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred had the Project been 100% occupied. This amount shall be considered to have been the amount of
Operating Expenses for that Expense Year. For purposes of this Paragraph 8.2, “variable components” include only those component expenses that are affected by variations in occupancy levels, such as water usage. 
  
 8.2.2. Adjustment When Landlord Adds Additional Buildings
to the Project. If Landlord constructs additional buildings within the Project following the Base Year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the Operating Expenses for the Base Year, as reasonably determined by Landlord using sound
accounting and management principles, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been incurred for the Base Year if such building had been complete and 100% occupied during the Base Year. 
  
 8.2.3. Adjustment When Landlord Does Not Furnish a
Service to All Tenants. If, during any part of any Expense Year (including the Base Year), Landlord is not furnishing a particular service or work (the cost of which, if furnished by Landlord, would be included in Operating Expenses) to a tenant
(other than Tenant) that has undertaken to perform such service or work in lieu of receiving it from Landlord, Operating Expenses for that Expense Year shall be considered to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Operating Expenses that
Landlord would reasonably have incurred during such period if Landlord had furnished such service or work to that tenant. 
  
 8.2.4. Additional Costs. If due to a change in the types of costs being incurred by Landlord as Direct Expenses (such as, for
example, the commencement or cessation of security services—but not a mere change in how a particular cost is handled—such as going from an in-house to an outside landscaping service), the Base Year Direct Expenses need to be adjusted to
eliminate the effect of such change, Landlord shall reasonably adjust the Base Year Direct Expenses and notify Tenant of such change in writing. 
  
 8.2.5. Common Areas. Landlord may elect to reasonably partition/separate portions of the Common Areas of the Project such that the
Operating Costs associated with such partitioned Common Areas are allocated to particular buildings or parcels within the Project. 
  
 8.3. Tax Expenses. 
  
 8.3.1. Definition of Taxes and Tax Expenses. “Taxes” means and refers to all federal, state, county, or local government
or municipal taxes, fees, charges, or other impositions of every kind or nature, whether general, special, ordinary, or extraordinary. Taxes include taxes, fees, and charges such as real property taxes, general and special assessments, transit
taxes, leasehold taxes, and taxes based on the receipt of rent (including gross receipts or sales taxes applicable to the receipt of rent, unless required to be paid by Tenant), and personal property taxes imposed on Landlord’s fixtures,
machinery, equipment, apparatus, systems, appurtenances, and other personal property used in connection with the Project or the Building, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall be excluded from Taxes: (a) all excess
profits taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital stock taxes, inheritance and succession taxes, estate taxes, federal, state, and local income taxes, and other taxes applied or measured by Landlord’s general or net income (as opposed to
rents, receipts, or income attributable to operations at the Building), and (b) personal property taxes attributable to property owned or installed by or for other tenants of the Project. “Tax Expenses” means the sum of all Taxes that are
paid or incurred by Landlord because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing, and/or operation of the Project from time to time. 
  
 8.3.2. Adjustment of Taxes. For purposes of this Lease, Tax Expenses for the Base Year shall be adjusted upon a reassessment of the
Project resulting from the construction of a new building within the Project to increase the Base Year Tax Expenses amount by the amount of Tax Expenses attributable to such new building’s assessed value. Accordingly, during the portion of any
Expense Year occurring after the Base Year, Tax Expenses shall be considered to be increased appropriately. 
  

 7 








 8.4. Calculation and Payment of Direct Expenses. Tenant’s Share of the
increased Direct Expenses for any Expense Year shall be calculated and paid as follows: 
  
 8.4.1. Calculation of Excess. If Direct Expenses for any Expense Year (other than the Base Year) ending or beginning within the
Lease Term exceeds the amount of Direct Expenses applicable to the Base Year, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent to Landlord an amount equal to Tenant’s Share of that excess, in the manner stated below. 
  
 8.4.2. Statement/Payment of Direct Expenses. Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term, commencing January 1, 2003 as Additional Rent, without notice, demand, offset, or deduction (except as provided below), an amount (“Tenant’s Monthly
Payment”) equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Share of the amount by which the Direct Expenses for each Expense Year following the Base Year exceed the Base Year Direct Expenses (such excess being referred to herein as the “Increased
Direct Expenses”), as estimated (and subsequently reconciled) by Landlord in the most recently delivered Estimated Statement (as defined below). Landlord intends to deliver to Tenant, prior to the commencement of each Expense Year following the
Base Year during the Lease Term, a written statement (“Estimated Statement”) setting forth Landlord’s estimate of the Direct Expenses and Increased Direct Expenses allocable to the ensuing Expense Year, and Tenant’s Share of such
Increased Direct Expenses. Landlord may, at its option, during any Expense Year, deliver to Tenant a revised Estimated Statement, revising Landlord’s estimate of the Direct Expenses and Increased Direct Expenses, in accordance with
Landlord’s most current estimate. Within approximately 90 days after the end of each Expense Year during the Lease Term, Landlord intends to deliver to Tenant a written statement (“Actual Statement”) setting forth the actual Direct
Expenses allocable to the preceding Expense Year. Tenant’s failure to object to Landlord regarding the contents of an Actual Statement, in writing, within 90 days after delivery to Tenant of such Actual Statement, shall constitute Tenant’s
absolute and final acceptance and approval of the Actual Statement. If the sum of Tenant’s Monthly Payments actually paid by Tenant during any Expense Year exceeds Tenant’s Share of the actual Increased Direct Expenses allocable to such
Expense Year, then such excess will be credited against future Tenant’s Monthly Payments, unless such Expense Year was the Expense Year during which the Lease Expiration Date occurs (the “Last Calendar Year”), in which event either
(i) such excess shall be credited against any monetary default of Tenant under this Lease, or (ii) if Tenant is not in default under this Lease, then Landlord shall (within the time frame for returning Tenant’s Security Deposit) pay to Tenant
such excess. If the sum of Tenant’s Monthly Payments actually paid by Tenant during any Expense Year is less than Tenant’s Share of the actual Increased Direct Expenses allocable to such Expense Year, then Tenant shall, within ten days of
delivery of the Actual Statement, pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency. Landlord’s delay in delivering any Estimated Statement or Actual Statement will not release Tenant from its obligation to pay any Tenant’s Monthly Payment or
any such excess upon receipt of the Estimated Statement or the Actual Statement, as the case may be. The references in this Paragraph to the actual Increased Direct Expenses allocable to an Expense Year, shall include, if such Expense Year is the
Last Calendar Year, the actual Increased Direct Expenses allocable to the portion of such year prior to the Lease Expiration Date, calculated on a pro rata basis, without regard to the date of a particular expenditure. 
  
 8.5. Landlord’s Books and Records. If Tenant
disputes the amount of Additional Rent stated in an Actual Statement within 90 days of Tenant’s receipt thereof, Tenant may, upon at least five business days notice to Landlord, request an opportunity to inspect and audit Landlord’s
records and supporting documentation regarding such Actual Statement. Such inspection and audit must be conducted by an independent certified public accountant within 180 days of the date Tenant received the Actual Statement, shall be at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense (except as provided below), and Landlord shall, at its election, either provide copies of such records and supporting documentation to Tenant or make such records and supporting documentation available to Tenant
for its inspection at Landlord’s business office during normal business hours. If Tenant fails to dispute the amount of Additional Rent stated in an Actual Statement within 90 days of Tenant’s receipt thereof, or Tenant’s audit fails
to disclose a discrepancy in such Actual Statement within 180 days after Tenant’s receipt of the Actual Statement in question, then the Actual Statement will be deemed binding on Tenant. If it is determined as a result of Tenant’s timely
audit of Landlord’s records (and Landlord’s certified public accountant’s concurrence therein) that Tenant was overcharged relative to the Direct Expenses, such overcharge shall entitle Tenant to a credit against its next payment of
Direct Expenses in the amount of the overcharge plus, in the case of an overcharge exceeding three percent (3%) of the Direct Expenses, the reasonable third party costs of such audit (and if such credit occurs following the expiration of the Term,
Landlord shall promptly pay the amount of such credit to Tenant). If it is determined as a result of Tenant’s timely audit of Landlord’s records (and Landlord’s certified public accountant’s concurrence therein), or otherwise,
that Tenant was undercharged relative to the Direct Expenses, Tenant shall, within ten days of written demand, pay such undercharge to Landlord. 
  
 9. Utilities and Services. 
  
 9.1. Utility Costs. Tenant shall pay when due all bills for gas, water, electricity and other utilities used on the Premises on and
after the Commencement Date and through and including the date of expiration of this Lease. If separate utility meters are not already present serving the Premises, Tenant, as part of the Tenant’s Work, shall install separate meters for the
utilities used in the Premises, in compliance with the requirements of the utility suppliers. 
  
 9.2. Electricity. Landlord shall construct the Building with wiring, outlets, and systems sufficient to provide electrical current
to the Premises for Project-standard ordinary and customary office uses. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord shall replace lamps, starters, and ballasts for Project-standard lighting fixtures within the Premises upon Tenant’s request; the
expense of which will be an Operating Expense. Tenant shall replace lamps, starters, and ballasts for non-Project-standard lighting fixtures within the Premises at Tenant’s sole expense. Landlord shall provide electrical service in connection
with Common Area needs, such as lighting. Tenant shall be responsible, pursuant to Paragraph 9.1, above, for the payment of all charges relating to the electrical service provided to the Premises. 
  
 9.3. Janitorial Service. Landlord shall provide five
day per week ordinary and customary, basic janitorial services in and about the Premises consistent with other first class office buildings in the vicinity of the Building. Landlord shall not be required to provide janitorial services to
above-Project-standard improvements installed in the Premises including but not limited to metallic trim, wood floor covering, glass panels, interior windows, 

  

 8 








 
kitchen/dining areas, executive washrooms, or shower facilities. Any janitorial services required by Tenant and provided by Landlord in excess of such
ordinary and customary, basic janitorial services shall be separately paid for by Tenant, as Additional Rent, within ten days of written demand. 
  
 9.4. Over-Standard Tenant Use.Tenant shall not exceed the rated capacity of the Building’s electrical and other utility
systems, which systems will be consistent in capacity with other first class office buildings built at or about the same time as the Building. In the event of any damage to any of the Project’s systems caused by Tenant’s use thereof in
excess of ordinary and customary usage for a professional office, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of such over-use. In addition, if Tenant requires any utilities or services described in this
Paragraph 9, which are to be provided by Landlord, in excess of the standard levels being provided by Landlord, or during hours other than Building Standard Operating Hours, Landlord shall have the right to impose reasonable restrictions on such
usage and/or commercially reasonable charges therefor. The cost for heating and air conditioning during hours other than Building Standard Operating Hours will be Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) per hour (or portion thereof, subject to reasonable
increase over the Lease Term and during any extensions thereof. 
  
 9.5. Conduit and Wiring. Installation of all types of conduit and wiring exclusively serving the Premises (other than as part of Landlord’s Work), including but not limited to Tenant’s Work, is
subject to the requirements of Paragraph 23, below, Exhibit “C”, and the Landlord’s reasonable approval of the location, manner of installation, and qualifications of the installing contractor. All such conduit and wiring will,
at Landlord’s option, become Landlord’s property upon the expiration of the Term. Upon expiration of the Term, Landlord may elect to require Tenant to remove such conduit and wiring at Tenant’s expense and return the Premises and the
Common Areas to their pre-existing condition. Tenant will not be required to remove any conduit or wiring for which Tenant has obtained Landlord’s consent, unless Landlord has indicated at the time of granting such consent, that such removal
will be required at the end of the Lease Term. If Landlord constructs new or additional utility facilities, including without limitation wiring, plumbing, conduits, and/or mains, resulting from Tenant’s changed or increased utility
requirements, Tenant shall on demand promptly pay (or advance) to Landlord the cost of such items as Additional Rent. 
  
 9. 6. Utilities Generally. Tenant agrees that, except as provided below, Landlord will not be liable for damages, by abatement of
Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services) or for diminution in the quality or quantity of any service. Such failure, delay, or diminution will not constitute an
eviction or a disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease, except that Tenant will be entitled to an equitable abatement of Rent for the
period of such failure, delay, or diminution to the extent such failure, delay, or diminution (i) is directly attributable to Landlord’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct, (ii) prevents Tenant from using, and Tenant does not use, the
Premises or the affected portion thereof for the conduct of Tenant’s business operations therein, (iii) Tenant was using the Premises or such affected portion for the conduct of Tenant’s business operations immediately prior to the
failure, and (iv) such failure, delay, or diminution continues for more than two consecutive business days (or ten business days in any twelve month period) after delivery of written notice of such failure, delay, or diminution from Tenant to
Landlord. Landlord will not be liable, under any circumstances, for a loss of or injury to property or for injury to or interference with Tenant’s business, including loss of profits through, in connection with, or incidental to a failure to
furnish any of the utilities or services under this Paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to promptly correct any such interruption of utilities or services. If any governmental authority having
jurisdiction over the Project imposes mandatory controls, or suggests voluntary guidelines applicable to the Project, relating to the use or conservation of water, gas, electricity, power, or the reduction of automobile emissions, Landlord, at its
sole discretion, may comply with such mandatory controls or voluntary guidelines and, accordingly, require Tenant to so comply. Landlord shall not be liable for damages to persons or property for any such reduction, nor shall such reduction in any
way be construed as a partial eviction of Tenant, cause an abatement of Rent, or operate to release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, except as specifically provided in this Paragraph 9.6. 
  
 10. Maintenance. 
  
 10.1. Tenant’s Duties. Tenant shall, at its sole
cost, maintain, repair, replace, and repaint, all in first class condition, the interior of the Premises, all building systems exclusively serving the Premises and located within the Premises or the walls of the Premises, and any damage to the
Premises or the Project resulting from the acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s Invitees. Tenant shall maintain all communications conduit, equipment, and wiring serving the Premises, whether in the Premises or not (and specifically
including all of Tenant’s Work and all wiring, equipment, and conduit located on the roof of the Building), regardless of the ownership of said conduit or wiring, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval of Tenant’s
maintenance/repair contractor and manner of maintenance/repair. If Tenant fails to maintain, repair, replace, or repaint any portion of the Premises or the Project as provided above then following ten days’ written notice thereof to Tenant,
Landlord may, at its election, maintain, repair, replace, or repaint any such portion of the Premises or the Project and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for Landlord’s actual cost thereof plus a supervisory fee in
the amount of ten percent (10%) of Landlord’s actual cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following Tenant’s payment (or performance) of its obligations under this Paragraph, Landlord receives payment from an insurer for such work,
Tenant will be entitled to receive such proceeds (after Landlord has first been fully reimbursed for its costs and expenses relative thereto including Landlord’s costs and expenses in obtaining such proceeds) to the extent Tenant previously
paid or incurred third party costs relative thereto. 
  
 10.2. Landlord’s Duties. Landlord shall, as a part of the Operating Expenses, maintain, repair, replace, and repaint, all in good order and condition, consistent with other first-class office buildings in the vicinity of the
Building, the Common Areas and all portions of the interior and exterior of the Building and any other buildings in the Project (including, without limitation, all electrical, mechanical, plumbing, fire/life safety, and other building systems),
except to the extent of Tenant’s obligations as set forth in Paragraph 10.1, above. Landlord’s failure to perform its obligations set forth above will not release Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, including without limitation


  

 9 








 
Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent. Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1942 (or any successor statute), and any similar
principles of law with respect to Landlord’s obligations for tenantability of the Premises and Tenant’s right to make repairs and deduct the expense of such repairs from rent. If Landlord fails to perform any of its repair and maintenance
obligations under this Paragraph 10.2 and such failure materially and adversely impairs Tenant’s ability to use and occupy the Premises for the Permitted Use, Tenant will have the right, to perform such repairs and/or maintenance to the extent
necessary to enable Tenant to resume its use and occupancy of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to exercising such right, Tenant must, except as provided below in connection with an emergency, have given Landlord at least 30
days’ prior written notice of the nature of the problem and Tenant’s intention to exercise its rights under this Paragraph if such matter is not resolved within such 30-day period; provided, however, if the nature of the matter giving rise
to such repair or maintenance obligation will reasonably require more than 30 days to remedy and Landlord is proceeding with due diligence to remedy such matter, then such 30 day period will be extended for such additional time as may be necessary
for Landlord to complete such repairs or maintenance. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the case of an emergency which poses an imminent threat of death, injury, or severe damage to persons or property, the required notice from Tenant may
be provided orally rather than in writing and for such shorter period of time (i.e. less than 30 days) as Tenant, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment deems appropriate under the exigent circumstances (however, at a minimum, Tenant
shall at least contact Landlord telephonically prior to commencing such work so that Landlord may, at its election, make arrangements to handle such emergency itself). If Landlord fails to fulfill its repair and maintenance obligations under this
Paragraph, and as a result thereof Tenant exercises the foregoing right to correct such matter, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable third-party costs incurred by Tenant to complete such repairs and/or maintenance within 30 days
after receipt of Tenant’s written demand therefor, together with copies of the paid invoices evidencing the costs so incurred. Any such repairs or maintenance performed by Tenant, as permitted herein, must be performed in a good and workmanlike
manner by licensed contractors. If Landlord objects to the repairs and/or maintenance performed by Tenant or the expenses incurred by Tenant in performing such work, or Landlord disputes its obligation therefor, Landlord shall deliver written notice
of its objection to Tenant. Landlord’s notice shall set forth in reasonable detail Landlord’s reasons for its objection. If Tenant and Landlord are unable to resolve such dispute within 30 days thereafter, the matter may be submitted to
arbitration before the AAA (or its successor) by either party and the decision of the arbitrator will be binding on both parties with the cost of such arbitration being split evenly by the parties and each party bearing its own attorneys’ fees
and costs. In no event may Tenant offset any amount owed to it by Landlord from Tenant’s Rent obligations unless Tenant’s claim has been submitted to arbitration and Landlord fails to pay the amount which the above-referenced arbitrator
determines is owing to Tenant within ten business days of Landlord’s receipt of the arbitrator’s written ruling. 
  
 11. Parking. 
  
 11.1. General Parking Rights. Subject to the remaining provisions of this Paragraph 11, Landlord grants to Tenant (for the benefit
of Tenant and Tenant’s Invitees) the right to the non-exclusive use of the parking area within the boundaries of and serving the Project (the “Parking Area”). Tenant’s use of the Parking Area shall be subject to such reasonable,
non-discriminatory rules as Landlord may, in its sole discretion, adopt from time to time with respect to the Parking Area, including without limitation (i) rules providing for the payment of charges or fees by users of the Parking Area (including,
without limitation, Tenant) in order to reimburse Landlord for the expense of a parking attendant and/or an automated parking system or to comply with local taxes or fees and in such event the charges or fees shall be deemed Additional Rent, (ii)
rules limiting tenants of the Project (including, without limitation, Tenant) to the use of, or excluding the use of, certain parking spaces or certain portions of the Parking Area, in order to maintain the availability of accessible parking spaces
for clients, guests, and invitees of tenants of the Project, and (iii) rules limiting tenants of the Project (including without limitation Tenant) to the use of a restricted number of parking spaces or a restricted area. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Paragraph, Landlord may, at its election, construct improvements upon or otherwise alter in any manner the Parking Area, provided that Landlord makes reasonable amounts of parking available (or reasonable amounts of parking will
remain available) to Tenant elsewhere within the Project (or within a reasonable distance from the Project). Landlord reserves the right to grant certain tenants in the Project the exclusive right to park in specified areas of the Parking Area, to
the exclusion of all other tenants. Tenant acknowledges that the exercise of the rights reserved to Landlord under this Paragraph may result in a decrease in the number of parking spaces available to Tenant and Tenant’s Invitees, and no such
decrease shall affect Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph or entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. 
  
 11.2. Parking Ratios. As of the Commencement Date (and subject to temporary interruptions in connection with Landlord’s
continued development of the Project, as provided below), the parking ratio within the Project will be approximately four spaces per 1,000 Usable Square Feet (“USF”) of space within the Project. The foregoing (4:1,000 USF) parking ratio
includes all spaces within the Project, including covered, uncovered, reserved, unreserved, handicap, and visitor parking spaces. 
  
 11.3. Specific Parking Rights. Tenant shall be entitled to the same 4:1,000 USF ratio of parking relative to the USF of the
Premises; provided, however, as part of the foregoing parking rights, Landlord agrees that Tenant will be entitled to have such parking proportionately distributed among the surface, subterranean, and structure parking which makes up the total
parking pool for the Project. That portion of such parking which is located below the Building (and any reserved parking provided by Landlord in the parking structure) will be marked as reserved for Tenant and will be subject to a monthly charge of
$50.00 per space, subject to increase over the Lease Term. Such charge will constitute Additional Rent hereunder and will be due and payable in advance, on or before the first day of each month. 
  

 10 








 12. Signs. 
  
 12.1. General Signage Conditions. Landlord may at any time change the name of either or both of the
Building and/or the Project and install, affix, and maintain all signs on the exterior and interior of the Building and other buildings within the Project as Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, desire. Tenant shall not have or acquire
any property right or interest in the name of the Building or the Project. Subject to Tenant’s signage rights under Paragraph 12.2, below, Tenant may not place, construct, or maintain any sign, advertisement, awning, banner, or other exterior
decoration (collectively, “sign”) in the Premises which is visible from the exterior of the Premises, or on the Building or any other portion of the Project, without Landlord’s prior written consent. Any sign that Tenant is permitted
by Landlord to place, construct, or maintain in the Premises or on the Building or the Project (including pursuant to Paragraph 12.2, below) must comply with Landlord’s sign criteria applicable to the Project, including, without limitation,
criteria relating to size, color, shape, graphics, and location (collectively, the “Sign Criteria”), and shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, CC&R’s (or similar recorded instruments), rules, or regulations, and
Tenant shall obtain any approvals required by such laws, ordinances, CC&R’s (or similar recorded instruments), rules, and regulations. Landlord makes no representation or warranty with respect to Tenant’s ability to obtain any such
approval. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost, make any changes to any sign, whether in the Premises or on the Building, as required by any new or revised applicable laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations. Tenant shall, additionally, maintain,
repair, and replace all of Tenant’s signs (including, specifically, those installed pursuant to Paragraph 12.2, below) in first class condition. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 12 will limit the Landlord’s right to grant signage rights
to other tenants of the Building, or to affect the signage rights of any tenant of the Building. 
  
 12.2. Tenant’s Individual Signage Rights. Subject to compliance with the requirements of Paragraph 12.1, above, Tenant is
hereby granted the following signage rights in/on the Building and at the Project. 
  
 12.2.1. Directory/Suite Signage. The Building will be provided, at Landlord’s expense, with a Project-standard lobby directory
sign. 
  
 12.2.2. Single Tenant Floor. Throughout
any period of time during the Term that the Premises comprise or include an entire floor(s) of the Building, Tenant may, at Tenant’s sole expense, install identification signs (including its logo) in the elevator lobby(ies) of such entire
floor(s) comprising the Premises, subject to the following requirements: (i) Tenant must obtain Landlord’s and any applicable governmental entity’s prior written approval for such signs (including all required permits); (ii) all signs must
be in keeping with the quality, design, and style of the Building; and (iii) no such sign may be visible from the exterior of the Building. 
  
 13. Rules, Regulations, and Covenants. Tenant shall observe (and shall cause Tenant’s Invitees to observe) faithfully and comply strictly with
any rules and regulations which Landlord may from time to time adopt for the Project (and provide Tenant with a copy of), as well as any recorded easement agreements, maintenance agreements, CC&R’s, or like instruments affecting the
Building and/or the Project, whether now existing or hereafter adopted or amended from time to time (all of the foregoing, collectively, “Rules”). Landlord has no duty or obligation to enforce any Rule against any other tenant, and
Landlord will not be liable to Tenant for violation of any Rule by any other tenant, or any other tenant’s agents, employees, officers, independent contractors, customers, invitees, visitors, or licensees. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord
reserves the right, from time to time, to enter into leases or other agreements by which Landlord agrees to restrict the use of all or any portion of the Project (including the Premises) from certain uses. All such leases and other agreements,
whether now existing or entered into in the future, shall be binding upon Tenant and in no event shall Tenant utilize the Premises for any use so prohibited; provided, however, no such restriction may prevent Tenant from using the Premises for the
Permitted Use. 
  
 14. Early Access/Insurance. If prior to
the Rent Commencement Date Tenant is planning to (and permitted by Landlord to—see attached Addendum and Exhibit “C”) make any Alterations (as defined below) to the Premises, perform any of the Tenant’s Work, or install
any of Tenant’s personalty, then in addition to complying with the provisions of attached Exhibit “C”, (i) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost, prior to first entering onto the Project, obtain and thereafter at all times
maintain (a) ”Builder’s Risk” or “Course of Construction” insurance with respect to such work reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (b) all of the insurance to be maintained by Tenant during the Term, and (ii) all
obligations of Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, shall be operative. Any work pursuant to this Paragraph shall be subject to all of the provisions of Paragraph 23, below. Nothing in this Paragraph shall be construed as granting permission
to Tenant to enter the Premises, or to make any Alterations, prior to the Lease Commencement Date and no such right shall exist unless specified in Exhibit “C” or agreed to by Landlord in its sole discretion. 
  
 15. Plate-Glass Insurance. Tenant shall at its sole cost maintain full
coverage plate-glass insurance on the Premises, under which Landlord and any lender holding a security interest in the Project (“Lender”) shall be named as additional insureds. 
  
 16. Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance. Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole
cost, maintain commercial general liability and property damage insurance (i) with a combined single limit of liability of not less than $2,000,000.00, (ii) insuring (a) against all liability of Tenant and Tenant’s Invitees arising out of or in
connection with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, including, without limitation, Tenant’s use, maintenance, repair, and replacement of systems and equipment either contained within the Premises or in air spaces, walls, roof areas,
or other portions of the Building or the Project and which exclusively serve the Premises, and (b) performance by Tenant of the indemnity provisions set forth in this Lease, (iii) naming Landlord, its agent, and any Lender as additional insureds,
(iv) containing cross-liability endorsements, and (vi) which includes products liability insurance (if Tenant is to sell merchandise or other products derived, assembled, or produced from the Premises). Not more frequently than once every one year,
if in the commercially reasonable opinion of Landlord, the amount of such insurance at that time is not adequate, Tenant shall increase such insurance as reasonably required by Landlord. 
  

 11 








 17. Fire and Extended Coverage Insurance. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost, maintain on
Tenant’s Alterations and Tenant’s Personal Property (as defined below) a policy of standard fire and extended coverage and special form insurance, with vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements, coverage with respect to increased costs
due to building ordinances, demolition coverage, boiler and machinery insurance, and sprinkler leakage coverage, in each case to the extent of at least 100 percent of full replacement value, and issued in the name of Tenant—with building
ordinance protection, demolition coverage, boiler and machinery insurance, and sprinkler leakage coverage, in each case to the extent of at least 100 percent of full replacement value, and issued in the name of Tenant with Landlord, Landlord’s
Lender, and Landlord’s designated agent as additional insureds. Such “full replacement value” shall be determined by the company issuing such policy at the time the policy is initially obtained. Not more frequently than once every two
years, either Landlord or Tenant may, at its election, notify the other that it elects to have the replacement value redetermined by an insurance company. Such redetermination shall be made promptly and in accordance with the rules and practices of
the Board of Fire Underwriters, or a like board recognized and generally accepted by the insurance company, and Landlord and Tenant shall be promptly notified of the results by the insurance company. Such policy shall be promptly adjusted according
to such redetermination. The foregoing casualty insurance may be maintained under blanket policies so long as there is no diminution in the quality or availability of the required coverage. 
  
 18. Business Interruption Insurance. Tenant shall obtain and maintain,
throughout the Term, business interruption insurance in amounts sufficient to reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect costs and loss of income attributable to all events/perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to
prevention of access to the Premises or to the Project as a result of such events/perils or otherwise. 
  
 19. Insurance Generally. If Tenant fails during the Term to maintain any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease (or is
within 48 hours of such a failure), then Landlord may, at its election, arrange for any such insurance, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for any premiums for any such insurance within ten business days after Tenant receives a
copy of the premium notice. Insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under this Lease shall be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and its Lender and (i) shall be issued as a primary policy, by insurance companies authorized
to do business in the state in which the Project is located with a Best’s Rating of at least “A-” and a Best’s Financial Size Category rating of at least “X,” as set forth in the most current edition of
“Best’s Insurance Reports” (unless otherwise approved by Landlord), or such higher rating as may be required by any Lender, (ii) shall name Landlord, Landlord’s agent(s), and any Lender as additional insureds, (iii) shall consist
of “occurrence” based coverage, without provision for subsequent conversion to “claims” based coverage, (iv) shall not be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except after 30-days’ prior
written notice to Landlord and any Lender, and (v) shall not provide for a deductible or co-insurance provision in excess of $5,000.00. Tenant shall, at least 30 days prior to the expiration of each such policy, furnish Landlord with a renewal of or
“binder” extending such policy. Tenant shall promptly, upon request, deliver to Landlord copies of such policy or policies or (if acceptable to Landlord’s Lender) certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance
together with evidence of payment of premiums. 
  
 20. Waiver
of Subrogation. Tenant releases Landlord and Landlord’s guests, invitees, customers and licensees (collectively, “Landlord’s Invitees”) from all claims for damage, loss, or injury to Tenant’s Personal Property and to the
systems, equipment, fixtures, personalty, and Alterations of Tenant in or on the Premises and the Project to the extent such damage, loss, or injury is covered by any insurance policies carried by Tenant and in force at the time of such damage.
Tenant shall cause all insurance policies obtained by it pursuant to this Lease to provide (if such provision is generally commercially available) that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord in
connection with any damage, loss, or injury covered by such policy. Landlord releases Tenant and Tenant’s Invitees from all claims for damage, loss, or injury to Tenant’s Personal Property and to the systems, equipment, fixtures, and
Alterations of Tenant in or on the Premises and the Project to the extent such damage, loss, or injury is covered by any insurance policies carried by Landlord and in force at the time of such damage. Landlord shall cause all insurance policies
obtained by it pursuant to this Lease to provide (if such provision is generally commercially available) that the insurance company waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against Tenant in connection with any damage, loss, or injury
covered by such policy. 
  
 21. Landlord’s Insurance.
Landlord shall maintain (in addition to such other coverages which Landlord elects to maintain or which its Lender might require) the following insurance, in such amounts and with such limits as Landlord shall determine in its reasonable discretion:
(i) public liability insurance; (ii) fire and extended coverage (all risk or special form) insurance; and (iii) boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable. The premiums, costs, expenses, co-insurance payments, and deductibles (or similar costs or
charges) of and/or with respect to any insurance maintained from time to time by Landlord (all of the preceding, collectively, “Insurance Expenses”) shall constitute Operating Expenses. Any such coverage may be part of an umbrella or
blanket policy, whereupon the premiums, costs, and expenses hereof will be reasonably apportioned between the Project and the other properties so included under such policy(ies). 
  
 22. Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay before delinquency all taxes, assessments, license fees, and other
charges that are levied or assessed against, or based upon the value of, Tenant’s personal property installed or located in or on the Premises including without limitation trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment, Alterations, and inventory
(collectively, “Tenant’s Personal Property”). On written demand by Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of such payments. If any such taxes, assessments, license fees, and/or other charges are levied
against Landlord or Landlord’s property, or if the assessed value of the Premises is increased by the inclusion of a value placed on Tenant’s Personal Property, and if Landlord pays such taxes, assessments, license fees, and/or other
charges or any taxes based on the increased assessments caused by Tenant’s Personal Property, then Tenant, on demand, shall immediately reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for the sum of such taxes, assessments, license fees, and/or other
charges so levied against Landlord, or the proportion of taxes resulting from such increase in Landlord’s assessment. Landlord may, at its election, pay such taxes, assessments, license fees, and/or other charges or such proportion, and receive
such reimbursement, regardless of the validity of the levy. 
  

 12 








 23. Alterations. Tenant shall not make any alterations, improvements, additions, installations, or
changes of any nature in or to the Premises (any of the preceding, “Alterations”) unless (i) Tenant first obtains Landlord’s written consent, provided, however, that minor, interior cosmetic alterations such as painting, wall
papering, carpeting or hanging pictures or moving furniture and temporary partitions or cubicldes (the aggregate cost of which will not exceed $50,000.00, and which alteration will not be visible from outside the Premises or affect any structural
components of the Project) does not require Landlord’s approval so long as Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of the nature and extent of such alteration at least 15 business days before commencing such alteration); (ii) Tenant complies with
all conditions which may be imposed by Landlord, including but not limited to Landlord’s selection of specific contractors or construction techniques and the requirements of the attached Exhibit “C”; and (iii) Tenant pays to
Landlord the reasonable costs and expenses of Landlord for architectural, engineering, or other consultants which reasonably may be incurred by Landlord in determining whether to approve any such Alterations. At least 30 days prior to making any
Alterations, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, in written form, proposed detailed plans of such Alterations. Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of any Alterations, at Tenant’s sole cost, (i) acquire (and deliver to Landlord a copy of) any
required permit from the appropriate governmental agencies to make such Alterations (any conditions of which permit Tenant shall comply with, at Tenant’s sole cost, in a prompt and expeditious manner), (ii) provide Landlord with ten days’
prior written notice of the date the installation of the Alterations is to commence, so that Landlord can post and record an appropriate notice of non-responsibility, and (iii) obtain (and deliver to Landlord proof of) reasonably adequate workers
compensation insurance with respect to any of Tenant’s employees installing or involved with such Alterations (which insurance Tenant shall maintain on an occurrence basis in force until completion of the Alterations). All Alterations shall
upon installation become the property of Landlord and shall remain on and be surrendered with the Premises on the Expiration Date, except that Landlord may, at its election, require Tenant to remove any or all of the Alterations, by so notifying
Tenant in writing on or about the Expiration Date, in which event, Tenant shall, at its sole cost, on or before the Expiration Date or within five days of Landlord’s request, if after the Expiration Date, repair and restore the Premises to the
condition of the Premises prior to the installation of the Alterations which are to be removed. Tenant shall pay all costs for Alterations and other construction done or caused to be done by Tenant and Tenant shall keep the Premises free and clear
of all mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens resulting from or relating to any Alterations or other construction. Tenant may, at its election, contest the correctness or validity of any such lien provided that (a) immediately on demand by
Landlord, Tenant procures and records a lien release bond, issued by a corporation satisfactory to Landlord and authorized to issue surety bonds in California, in an amount equal to 150 percent of the amount of the claim of lien, which bond meets
the requirements of California Civil Code Section 3143 or any successor statute, and (b) Landlord may, at its election, require Tenant to pay Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in participating in such an action. 
  
 24. Surrender of Premises and Holding Over. On the Expiration Date,
Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Premises and all Alterations (except for Alterations that Tenant is obligated to remove as expressly set forth above) in a first class and clean condition, less any normal wear and tear, free of trash and
debris including cleaning of all flooring; all walls shall be patched and painted; all signage installed by Tenant on any portion of the Buildings or Project shall be removed and the surfaces repaired, including restoration of the signage mounting
surfaces to their pre-existing condition; all sign circuits, electrical circuits, and lighting fixtures shall be in good operating condition; all roof penetrations arising from Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall be in a watertight
condition; and all doors, windows, locks, and hardware shall be in operable condition upon the termination of this Lease. Tenant shall additionally, as of the Expiration Date, remove all of Tenant’s Personal Property and perform all repairs and
restoration required by the removal of any Alterations or Tenant’s Personal Property, and Tenant shall surrender to Landlord all keys to the Premises (including without limitation any keys to any exterior or interior doors). Landlord may elect
to retain or dispose of in any manner any Alterations or Tenant’s Personal Property that Tenant does not remove from the Premises on the Expiration Date as required by this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant. Any such Alterations or
Tenant’s Personal Property that Landlord elects to retain or dispose of shall immediately upon notice to Tenant vest in Landlord. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damage to Tenant resulting from Landlord’s retention or
disposition of any such Alterations or Tenant’s Personal Property. Tenant will be liable to Landlord for Landlord’s costs for storing, removing (including related restoration work), or disposing of any such Alterations or Tenant’s
Personal Property. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises to Landlord on the Expiration Date in the condition required by this Paragraph, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against all liabilities, damages,
losses, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and claims resulting from such failure, including without limitation any claim for damages made by a succeeding tenant. If Tenant, with Landlord’s consent, remains in possession of the Premises
after the Expiration Date, such possession by Tenant shall be deemed to be a month-to-month tenancy terminable on 30-days’ written notice given at any time by Landlord or Tenant. During any such month-to-month tenancy, or any other holdover
tenancy which is without Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall pay, as Basic Monthly Rent, 150 percent of the Basic Monthly Rent in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Date; which rental amount Tenant acknowledges is fair and reasonable under
all of the facts and circumstances existing as of the date of this Lease. All provisions of this Lease except for those pertaining to Term shall apply to any such tenancy. 
  
 25. Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by
Tenant (each an “Event of Default”): 
  
 25.1. The abandonment (as defined in the California Civil Code 1951.3) of the Premises by Tenant. 
  
 25.2. Tenant’s failure to make any payment of Rent (including late charges) within two business days after written notice of
delinquency. No grace period prior to the imposition of a late charge pursuant to Paragraph 27, below, shall extend the date when such Rent is due and payable. 
  

25.3. Tenant’s failure to observe or perform any of the provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than
described in the preceding two paragraphs, where such failure shall continue for a period of ten days after written notice of such failure from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to,
any notice required under applicable unlawful detainer statutes; and provided further, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than ten days are reasonably required for its cure, then 

  

 13 








 
Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commenced such cure within such ten-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion within 30 days after Landlord’s written notice. 
  
 25.4. The making by Tenant of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; Tenant’s becoming bankrupt, insolvent or a “debtor” as defined in 11 U.S.C. Section 101, or any
successor statute (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, such petition is dismissed within 60 days after its original filing); the institution of proceedings under the bankruptcy or similar laws in which Tenant is the debtor or
bankrupt; the appointing 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 (unless possession is restored to Tenant within 60 days after such
taking); the attachment, execution, or judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease (unless such attachment, execution, or judicial seizure is discharged within 60 days
after such attachment, execution, or judicial seizure); or, if Tenant is a partnership or consists of more than one person or entity, any partners of the partnership or any such other person or entity becoming bankrupt or insolvent or making a
general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors. 
  
 25.5. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the terms of that certain lease between Landlord and Tenant dated as of February 22, 2000, for space on the ninth floor of the building located at 10145 Pacific
Heights Boulevard, San Diego, California. 
  
 26.
Landlord’s Remedies. Landlord shall have the following remedies if Tenant commits an Event of Default under this Lease. These remedies are not exclusive, but are cumulative and in addition to any remedies provided elsewhere in this Lease
or now or later allowed by law. 
  
 26.1.
Continuation of Lease. No act by Landlord shall terminate Tenant’s right to possession unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to terminate Tenant’s right to possession. As long as Landlord does not terminate
Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord may (i) continue this Lease in effect, (ii) continue to collect Rent when due and enforce all the other provisions of this Lease, and (iii) enter the Premises and relet them, or any part of them, to third
parties for Tenant’s account, for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term of this Lease. Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord all costs Landlord incurs in such reletting, including, without limitation, brokers’ commissions,
attorneys’ fees, advertising costs, and expenses of remodeling the Premises for such reletting. The parties agree that Landlord is to have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (which effectively provides that a lessor
may continue a lease in effect after the lessee’s breach and recover rent as it becomes due), and the Tenant hereby acknowledges that this Lease meets the requirements of such statutory provision and that Tenant’s rights to sublet or
assign hereunder are subject only to reasonable limitations. 
  
 26.2. Rent from Reletting. If Landlord elects to relet all or any portion of the Premises as permitted above, rent that Landlord receives from such reletting shall be applied to the payment of, in the following
order and priority, (i) any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than Rent due from Tenant, (ii) all costs incurred by Landlord in such reletting, and (iii) Rent due and unpaid under this Lease. After applying such payments as referred to
above, any sum remaining from the rent Landlord receives from such reletting shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as it becomes due under this Lease. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by
Landlord unless and until all obligations of Tenant under this Lease, including all future obligations, are satisfied in full. 
  
 26.3. Termination of Tenant’s Right to Possession. Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at
any time, by notifying Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to terminate Tenant’s right to possession. Such written notice will result in the immediate termination of this Lease upon the date such right of possession is terminated. Upon
termination of this Lease, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant (i) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of such termination, (ii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which
the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after such termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss of Rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, (iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by
which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award (had there been no such termination) exceeds the amount of such loss of Rent that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate
Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. The “worth at the time of the award” of
the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above is to be computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate. The “worth at the time of the award” of the amount referred to in clause (iii) above is to be computed by discounting such
amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent. 
  
 26.4. Landlord’s Right to Cure Default. Landlord, at any time after Tenant commits an Event of Default, may cure such Event of
Default at Tenant’s sole cost. If Landlord at any time, by reason of Tenant’s default or breach, pays any sum or does any act that requires the payment of any sum, such sum shall be due immediately from Tenant to Landlord at the time such
sum is paid, along with a supervisory fee in the amount of ten percent (10%) of such amount so expended by Landlord, and shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease. If Tenant fails to timely pay any amount due under this Paragraph within ten
business days of receipt of Landlord’s invoice for such costs, then (without curing such default) interest at the Default Rate shall accrue (and be immediately payable) on such overdue amount until it is paid. 
  
 26.5. Enforcement Costs. All costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection with collecting any amounts and damages owing by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, or to enforce any provision of this Lease, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not any action is
commenced by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. If Tenant fails to timely pay any amount due under this Paragraph, then (without curing such default) interest at the Default Rate shall accrue (and be immediately payable) on
such overdue amounts until it is paid. 
  

 14 








 27. Late Charges. Late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs
not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing, collection and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord
by the terms of any deed of trust covering the Premises. Therefore, if any Rent (in the form of good funds) is not received by Landlord within ten days of its due date, then, without any requirement for notice to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
an additional sum of ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount as a late charge. Such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any late payment by Tenant, and therefore this Paragraph is
reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time this Lease is made. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver or cure of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. 
  
 28. Default Interest. In addition to the late charge payable by Tenant, as provided above, if any Rent is not paid within 30 days of the date such Rent is due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on such
overdue Rent (until all amounts, including interest, are paid in full) at the rate of seven percent (7%) above the “reference rate” announced from time to time by Bank of America, NT&SA (the “Default Rate”). If such reference
rate ceases to be announced, then a comparable “prime rate” shall be utilized, as selected by Landlord. 
  
 29. Payment of Rent by Cashier’s Check. If a late charge is payable under this Lease, whether or not collected, for two or more installments
of Basic Monthly Rent or other Rent due under this Lease, or if any two payments made by Tenant in the form of a personal or business check is returned by the bank it was drawn upon for whatever reason, including but not limited to insufficient
funds, then Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may require Tenant to submit future payments to Landlord in the form of a certified cashier’s check, money order, or by wire transfer. Tenant’s obligation to provide payment in the
aforementioned manner shall continue in full force and effect until Landlord, in its sole discretion, determines otherwise. Tenant further agrees to reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, Landlord’s actual costs imposed by Landlord’s bank
or financial institution arising from Tenant’s returned check(s). These costs shall be in addition to any late charges payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease. 
  
 30. Destruction. If the Building is totally or partially destroyed during the Term, rendering the Premises totally or
partially inaccessible or unusable, then, subject to the remainder of this Paragraph, (i) Landlord shall promptly commence work necessary to restore the Building to substantially the same condition as it was in immediately before such destruction
and shall diligently prosecute such restoration work until completed, (ii) Landlord shall not be required to restore Tenant’s Alterations or Tenant’s Personal Property, unless they are specifically covered by insurance proceeds received by
Landlord, such excluded items being the sole responsibility of Tenant to restore, (iii) such destruction shall not terminate this Lease (except as provided below), and (iv) all obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall remain in effect, except
that the Basic Monthly Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated or reduced, between the date of such destruction and the date of Substantial Completion of restoration, by the ratio of (a) the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises rendered unusable
or inaccessible by the destruction, to (b) the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises prior to such destruction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph, either party shall have ten business days from the date of Landlord’s
determination that this sentence applies to the subject destruction/reconstruction, in which to terminate this Lease if Landlord determines that (1) it will likely take more than either (A) 330 days following the date of such casualty, or (B) 270
days from obtaining all required permits for such reconstruction, in which to complete such work, (2) such destruction (which is not de minimus in nature) occurs during the last year of the Term, or (3) then-existing laws do not permit such
restoration. Additionally, Landlord may, at its election, terminate this Lease by so notifying Tenant in writing on or before the later of 60 days after such destruction or 30 days after Landlord’s receipt of the proceeds (or written notice of
the amount of proceeds) from insurance maintained by Landlord, if (I) such destruction exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the then-replacement value of the Premises, the Building, or the Project, or (II) Landlord reasonably determines that the cost of
such restoration will exceed the amount of insurance proceeds relating to such destruction actually received by Landlord from insurance maintained by Landlord, excluding deductibles, by more than five percent (5%) of such cost of restoration. If
Landlord or Tenant so terminates this Lease, then (x) Landlord shall have no obligation to restore the Project, (y) Landlord shall retain all insurance proceeds relating to such destruction, and (z) this Lease shall terminate as of 30 days after
such notice of termination from Landlord to Tenant. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) or any successor statute with respect to any destruction of the Premises. If Landlord restores the Premises
following any such destruction, Tenant shall immediately refixturize, re-equip, and (if applicable) restock the Premises and shall re-open the Premises for business as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable. If Tenant does not intend to so
reopen the Premises for business, it must notify Landlord in writing within 20 business days of such damage or destruction, whereupon Landlord may cease its repair work and terminate this Lease. Additionally, if Landlord fails to Substantially
Complete such restoration work within one year, Tenant may, by 30 days’ written notice to Landlord delivered after such year (during which period of time such restoration is not Substantially Completed), terminate this Lease. 
  
 31. Condemnation. If during the Term, or during the period of time
between the execution of this Lease and the Lease Commencement Date, there is any taking of all or any part of the Premises or any interest in this Lease by the exercise of any governmental power, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, by any
public or quasi-public authority, or private corporation or individual, having the power of condemnation (any of the preceding a “Condemnor”), or a voluntary sale or transfer by Landlord to any Condemnor, either under threat of
condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation are pending (any of the preceding, a “Condemnation”), the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant shall be determined pursuant to this Paragraph. If such Condemnation is of the
entire Premises, then this Lease shall terminate on the date the Condemnor takes possession of the Premises (the “Date of Condemnation”). If such Condemnation is of any portion, but not all, of the Premises, then this Lease shall remain in
effect, except that, if the remaining portion of the Premises is rendered unsuitable for Tenant’s continued use of the Premises, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease, by so notifying Landlord in writing (the “Termination
Notice”) within 30 days after the date that the nature and extent of the Condemnation have been determined. Such termination shall be effective on the earlier of (i) the date that is 30 days after the giving of the Termination Notice, or (ii)
the Date 

  

 15 








 
of Condemnation. If Tenant does not give to Landlord the Termination Notice within such 30-day period, then all obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall
remain in effect, except that (unless the Premises are restored as set forth below) Basic Monthly Rent shall be reduced by the ratio of (a) the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises taken to (b) the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises
immediately prior to the Date of Condemnation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph, if, within 30 days after Landlord’s receipt of the Termination Notice, Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord at its cost will add to the
remaining Premises (or substitute for the Premises other comparable space in the Project) so that the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises will be substantially the same after the Condemnation as they were before the Condemnation, and Landlord
commences the restoration promptly and completes it within 150 days after Landlord so notifies Tenant, then all obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall remain in effect, except that Basic Monthly Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated or
reduced during the period from the Date of Condemnation until the completion of such restoration by the ratio of (A) the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises taken to (B) the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises immediately prior to the Date
of Condemnation. Unless Landlord restores the Premises pursuant to the preceding sentence, or unless Tenant gives to Landlord the Termination Notice within the relevant 30-day period, Tenant at its sole cost shall accomplish any restoration required
by Tenant to use the Premises. A temporary Condemnation of the Premises, or any part of the Premises, for less than 180 days, shall not constitute a Condemnation under this Paragraph; but the Basic Monthly Rent shall abate as to the portion of the
Premises affected during such temporary Condemnation. All compensation, sums, or anything of value awarded, paid, or received on a total or partial Condemnation (the “Award”) shall belong to and be paid to Landlord. Tenant shall have no
right to any part of the Award, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant’s right, title, and interest in and to any part of the Award, except that Tenant shall receive from the Award any sum paid expressly to Tenant from the
Condemnor for Tenant’s Personal Property or for severance damages. Landlord and Tenant waive the provisions of any statute (including without limitation California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 or any successor statute) that allows
Landlord or Tenant to petition the superior court (or any other court) to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial Condemnation of the Premises. 
  
 32. Assignment and Other Transfers. 
  
 32.1. Restriction on Transfer. Without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and except
as permitted by Paragraph 32.3, below, none of the following shall occur (nor be permitted by Tenant to occur), voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise (any of the following, a “Transfer”): (i) any assignment,
sublease, disposition, sale, concession, license, license agreement for the use of any portion of the Premises, mortgage, encumbrance, hypothecation, pledge, collateral assignment, or other transfer, by Tenant of this Lease, any interest in this
Lease, or all or any portion of the Premises; or (ii) any assignment, disposition, sale, transfer, acquisition, or issuance of equitable interests (whether stock, partnership or otherwise) in Tenant, to or by any person, entity, or group of related
persons or affiliated entities, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions, which results in such person, entity, or group holding (or assigning, transferring, disposing of, or selling) fifty percent (50%) or
more of the aggregate issued and outstanding equitable interests in Tenant. 
  
 32.2. Transfer Provisions Generally. Landlord shall not be liable in damages to Tenant or to any proposed subtenant, assignee or other transferee (any of the preceding a “Proposed Transferee”) if such
consent is adjudicated to have been unreasonably withheld, and, in such event, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to have the proposed Transfer declared as valid as if Landlord’s consent had been given, although Tenant shall be entitled to
reasonable attorney’s fees if Tenant is the prevailing party in such litigation. At least 30 days prior to entering into any proposed Transfer, Tenant shall submit to Landlord the sum of $400.00 (as payment toward Landlord’s and
Landlord’s attorneys’ cost of reviewing, consenting to, rejecting and/or consummating any proposed Transfer), and a written notice (“Tenant’s Notice”) which includes or sets forth in reasonable detail (i) the form of the
proposed Transfer, including without limitation all related agreements, documents, instruments, exhibits, and escrow instructions, (ii) the name and address of the Proposed Transferee, (iii) the terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer,
including without limitation the economics of such Proposed Transfer and the commencement or effective date of the proposed Transfer, which shall be at least 30 days after Tenant’s Notice is given, and (iv) the nature, character, and current
financial information and references with respect to the Proposed Transferee and the business of the Proposed Transferee, in reasonably sufficient detail to enable Landlord to determine the Proposed Transferee’s financial responsibility. Within
20 days after Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of such sum and Tenant’s Notice, and all documentation requested of Tenant by Landlord, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether Landlord has consented to the proposed Transfer. Any consent by
Landlord to any proposed Transfer shall not constitute a consent with respect to any other Transfer. If Landlord consents to any proposed Transfer, and Tenant fails to consummate such Transfer within 90 days of the commencement or effective date of
the proposed Transfer (as set forth in Tenant’s Notice) or, if Tenant’s Notice fails to identify such a date, then within 150 days of the Tenant’s Notice, then such consent shall be deemed withdrawn and Tenant shall be required again
to comply with this Paragraph before making a Transfer. Landlord shall not have unreasonably withheld its consent with respect to any Transfer if (among other things) Landlord shall not have received such sum or Tenant’s Notice, if the nature
or character of the Proposed Transferee is not in keeping with the dignity and character of the Building and the surrounding area, if the Proposed Transferee’s proposed use is materially and adversely different than the Permitted Use or
Tenant’s prior use, if the proposed Transfer will result in the diminution of the value or marketability of the Building or the Project, if Landlord is not reasonably satisfied that the Proposed Transferee is creditworthy, or if the proposed
Transfer will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the provisions of, or constitute a default under, any agreement, instrument, or document to which Landlord is a party or by which the Project may be bound. No Transfer shall release or
discharge Tenant from any liability, whether past, present, or future, under this Lease and Tenant shall continue to remain directly liable under this Lease (and not as a mere surety). Tenant irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, all rent and other amounts generated from any Transfer, and Landlord, as assignee, may collect such rent and other amounts and apply them toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; except that,
unless a default occurs under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent and other amounts. Unless otherwise agreed to by all parties, the Tenant’s Security Deposit (if any) shall be retained by Landlord and returned to the
lawful tenant in possession of the Premises at the time of the Lease termination, subject to the terms and conditions of Paragraph 6 of this Lease. Any Transfer documentation shall 

  

 16 








 
contain the following provisions, which provisions whether contained in such Transfer documentation or not, shall apply to such Transfer: (a) Such Transfer
shall be subject and subordinate to, and bound by, all provisions of this Lease; (b) No Proposed Transferee shall be permitted to enter into any Transfer without Landlord’s prior written consent; and (c) At Landlord’s option, in the event
of cancellation or termination of this Lease for any reason or the surrender of this Lease, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, prior to the expiration of such Transfer, the Proposed Transferee shall make full and
complete attornment to Landlord for the balance of the term of such Transfer. Such attornment shall be evidenced by an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the Proposed Transferee shall execute and deliver to
Landlord within five days after request by Landlord. Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable cost (less the $400.00 previously paid) of reviewing, consenting to, rejecting, and/or consummating any proposed Transfer,
including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs/fees of Landlord’s Lender in connection therewith. If Tenant fails to pay such amount within ten business days of written demand, Tenant shall be in default hereunder and
Landlord shall have the right, in addition to its other rights and remedies under this Lease, to revoke its prior approval of the proposed Transfer if such Proposed Transferee has not yet taken over possession of the Premises. 
  
 32.3. Excess Rent and Recapture. Tenant shall
promptly pay to Landlord, as and when received, fifty percent (50%) of all rents and other consideration after all of Tenant’s reasonable third-party expenses incurred in connection with such Transfer are deducted, of whatever nature, payable
by the Proposed Transferee (or receivable by Tenant) pursuant to or as a result of any Transfer, which exceed (i) in the case of a sublease of a portion of the Premises, the portion of the Basic Monthly Rent that is allocable to the portion of the
Premises subleased (such allocation based on the Rentable Square Footage of the portion subleased), or (ii) in the case of any other Transfer, the Basic Monthly Rent. Landlord additionally has the right, in the event Tenant indicates in the
Tenant’s Notice that it desires to assign this Lease or sublet greater than 50% of the Premises, at its election, by giving written notice (the “Recapture Notice”) to Tenant within 15 days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice, to
recapture the Premises and terminate this Lease. If Landlord elects to exercise such right and delivers a Recapture Notice to Tenant, this Lease shall automatically be deemed terminated as of the commencement or effective date stated in
Tenant’s Notice for the proposed Transfer, and Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises as of such date (and any failure to do so shall constitute a default hereunder). Landlord’s giving of a Recapture Notice shall not constitute
Landlord’s consent to Tenant’s proposed Transfer. 
  
 32.4. Permitted Transferee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Paragraphs 32.1 or 32.3, above, no consent of Landlord will be required for, and no amounts will be payable to Landlord in
connection with, any assignment or subletting to any of the following (any of which will constitute a “Permitted Transferee”): 
  
 32.4.1. Any parent company which owns all or substantially all of the voting and beneficial interests in Tenant and which has a net worth
(determined in accordance with GAAP) equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth as of the day before such transaction or as of the Commencement Date, whichever is less; 
  
 32.4.2. Any surviving or successor entity resulting from a merger, consolidation, or sale of substantially
all of the assets of Tenant, where the net worth of the resulting or acquiring company exceeds (as determined in accordance with GAAP) the net worth of the Tenant as of the day prior to such transaction or as of the Commencement Date, whichever is
less; or 
  
 32.4.3. Any sale of stock as part of
a “public offering” on one of the nationally recognized securities exchanges (such as, without limitation, NYSE or NASDAQ). 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, and as a condition to the effectiveness of any such Transfer to a Permitted Transferee, at least 20 days prior to any
proposed Transfer to a Permitted Transferee, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its intention to undertake such a Transfer and provide Landlord with sufficient information to confirm that such entity will in fact be a Permitted Transferee.
Landlord shall keep all such information confidential. Other than the right to engage in such a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee without Landlord’s consent, all other provisions of this Paragraph 32 shall apply to such a Transfer.
Furthermore, if the Permitted Transferee is not in as strong a financial position as Tenant (as reasonably determined by Landlord), based on Tenant’s financial position both as of the date of this Lease and as of the date of such Transfer, then
as a condition to the effectiveness of such Transfer, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, provide Landlord with an acceptable guarantor of this Lease on Landlord’s standard form. 
  
 33. Landlord’s Reserved Rights. Landlord, as owner of the
Project, in addition to Landlord’s other rights, reserves the right from time to time: (i) to temporarily utilize portions of the Common Areas for, among other things, entertainment, outdoor shows, displays, automobile and other product shows,
the leasing of kiosks, or such other uses which, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are appropriate; (ii) to utilize the lighting standards and other areas or improvements in the Common Areas for advertising, notice purposes, or other
reasonable purposes; (iii) to close any of the Common Areas to the extent required in the opinion of Landlord’s legal counsel to prevent a dedication of any of the Common Areas or the accrual of any rights to any person or to the public in and
to any portion of the Common Areas; (iv) to close, temporarily, any of the Common Areas for maintenance purposes; (v) to designate other property outside the boundaries of the Project to become part of the Common Areas; (vi) to close off or
otherwise utilize portions of the Common Areas while constructing improvements or making repairs or alterations to any portion of the Project; (vii) to utilize portions of the Common Areas, on a temporary basis, as a staging area for any
construction work by Landlord or its affiliates, agents, tenants, or contractors; and (viii) to make any changes to the Common Areas, or any part of the Project, including without limitation changes to buildings or other improvements, the addition
of new buildings or other improvements, and/or changes in (among other things) the location of driveways, entrances, exits, vehicular parking spaces, or the direction of the flow of traffic. In exercising such rights, Landlord agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises. 
  

 17 








 34. Continued Development of Project. 
  
 34.1. Further Construction. Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord may, from time to time, at its sole election, construct (including, without limitation, additional buildings), reconstruct, improve (including tenant improvements), modify, expand, or otherwise alter the Project (collectively,
“Construction Work”), or portions thereof (in no event however will Landlord have any obligation to do so). Tenant acknowledges that any such Construction Work will necessarily involve, among other things, the generation of noise, dust,
and vibrations, barricading portions of the Project and the placement of scaffolding within the Project, demolition, structural alterations, storage of materials and equipment within the Project, and the presence of workmen within the Project, all
of which may require the rearrangement of the Common Areas, including, without limitation, landscaping, parking areas, roadways, lighting facilities, and the re-direction of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Except as provided below, Tenant waives
any and all claims, defenses, rights of offset, or deductions based upon any inconvenience suffered by Tenant or any interruption of or interference with Tenant’s business including, without limitation, any loss of business, decreased sales, or
inconvenience to Tenant or Tenant’s Invitees as a result of or relating to such Construction Work. Landlord hereby reserves for itself and its agents, employees, licensees and contractors, the right to enter the Premises to the extent
reasonably necessary to pursue such Construction Work upon 24 hours’ prior notice to Tenant. The exercise of any of Landlord’s rights pursuant to this Paragraph will not entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent or other claim, right of
offset, or defense against Landlord, except that (i) Tenant shall have the right to bring an action against Landlord (as Tenant’s sole remedy) in the event Tenant suffers any damages as a result of Landlord’s gross negligence or
intentional misconduct in pursuing such Construction Work, and (ii) if such Construction Work results in Tenant being unable to access the Premises, or portions thereof, for the Permitted Use for a period of greater than ten business days, Tenant
shall be entitled to equitable abatement of the Rent for such period of time during which it is unable to access the Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that expansion of the Project may affect the amount of the Lease Expenses and the portion
thereof payable by Tenant. 
  
 34.2. Reserved
Rights. Landlord hereby reserves such licenses and easements in, on, above or below the Premises as may be reasonably required (i) for the installation, inspection, surveying, maintenance, or construction of mains, conduits, shafts, columns,
footings, piers, pipes or other facilities to serve any building within the Project, or (ii) for any Construction Work; provided, however, Landlord will use its best efforts to minimize any unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use,
occupancy, or enjoyment of the Premises as contemplated by this Lease. 
  
 35. Access by Landlord. Landlord and any of Landlord’s Invitees shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, during normal business hours if feasible under the circumstances, and upon 24 hours’
notice, if feasible under the circumstances, (i) to determine whether the Premises are in good condition and whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease, (ii) to do any necessary maintenance or make any restoration to the
Premises that Landlord has the right or obligation to perform, (iii) to serve, post, or keep posted any notices required or allowed under this Lease, (v) to post “for sale” or “for rent” or “for lease” signs during the
final nine months of the Term, (vi) to show the Premises to brokers, lenders, agents, prospective buyers, prospective tenants, or other persons interested in a listing of, financing, purchasing, or occupying the Project, the Premises or any portion
of the Project or the Premises, and (vii) to shore the foundations, footings, and walls of the Project, and to erect scaffolding and protective barricades around and about the Premises, but not so as to prevent entry to the Premises, and to do any
other act or thing necessary for the safety or preservation of the Premises if any excavation or other construction is undertaken or is about to be undertaken on any adjacent property or nearby street. In the event of an emergency Landlord shall
have the right to enter the Premises at any time, without prior notice to Tenant. Landlord’s rights under this Paragraph extend, with Landlord’s consent, to the owner of adjacent property on which excavation or construction is to take
place and the adjacent property owner’s agents, employees, officers, and contractors. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance, or other damage arising out of any entry on the Premises as
provided in this Paragraph except damage resulting directly from the grossly negligent acts or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s Invitees. Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of Basic Monthly Rent or other Rent
because of the exercise by Landlord of any rights under this Paragraph. 
  
 36. Indemnity. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Landlord and its shareholders, officers, directors, agents, property managers, employees, contractors, and the partners comprising Landlord (if any)
from and against all Claims (as defined below) and all costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees incurred in the defense or handling of any such Claims or any action or proceeding brought on any of such Claims. For purposes of this Lease, the term
“Claims” shall mean all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and claims (except to the extent they result from Landlord’s grossly negligent acts or willful misconduct) arising from or which seek to
impose liability under or because of (i) Tenant’s or Tenant’s Invitees’ use of the Premises, (ii) the conduct of Tenant’s business, (iii) any activity, work, or things done, permitted, or suffered by Tenant or any of
Tenant’s Invitees in or about the Premises or elsewhere, (iv) any breach or default in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, and/or (v) any negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Invitees. If any
action or proceeding is brought against Landlord or its shareholders, officers, directors, agents, property managers, employees, contractors, or the partners comprising Landlord (if any) by reason of any such Claims, Tenant upon notice from Landlord
shall defend such action or proceeding at Tenant’s sole cost by legal counsel satisfactory to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 36: 
  
 36.1. Tenant shall not waive any claims against Landlord or be required to indemnify, defend, or hold
Landlord harmless from or against claims, liability, loss, cost or expense arising out of the breach by Landlord, or Landlord’s agents, employees, or independent contractors (collectively “Landlord’s Agents”), of any covenant,
representation or warranty under this Lease. 
  
 36.2. Except to the extent caused by the negligent acts or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, officers, or agents, Landlord shall protect, defend and hold harmless Tenant and Tenant’s employees, officers, and
agents against and from any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and the costs and expenses of defense) arising or resulting from (i)
Landlord’s or Landlord’s Agents’ breach of any covenant, representation or warranty under this Lease and (ii) Landlord’s or Landlord’s Agents’ negligence or willful misconduct. The mutual indemnity obligations of
Landlord and 

  

 18 








 
Tenant under this Lease shall not, however, release the respective insurers of Landlord and Tenant from such insurers’ obligations under any policies
covering their respective insureds. 
  
 37. Exemption of
Landlord from Liability. Except to the extent caused by Landlord’s grossly negligent acts or willful misconduct, Tenant assumes all risk of, Tenant waives all claims against Landlord in respect of, and Landlord shall not be liable for, any
of the matters set forth in the preceding Paragraph or any of the following: injury to Tenant’s business, loss of income from such business, or damage or injury to the goods, wares, merchandise, or other property or the person of Tenant,
Tenant’s Invitees, or any other persons in, upon, or about the Premises, whether such damage, loss, or injury is caused by or results from criminal acts, fire, steam, electricity, gas, water, rain, the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other
defects of pipes, sewer lines, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air-conditioning or lighting fixtures, or any other cause, conditions arising upon the Premises, or other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of such damage,
loss, or injury or the means of repairing such damage, loss, or injury is inaccessible to Tenant. This Lease shall not be affected or impaired by any change to any part of the Project or any sidewalks, streets, or improvements nearby the Project.

  
 38. Hazardous Substances. 
  
 38.1. Landlord’s Covenants. Landlord hereby
notifies Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges that, prior to the leasing of the Premises pursuant to this Lease, Tenant has been notified, pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 25359.7 (or any successor statue), that Landlord
knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that certain hazardous substances (as such term is used in such Section 25359.7), such as common cleaning supplies, office supplies, spillage of petroleum products from motor vehicles, and other consumer
products, may have come (and may in the future come) to be located on or beneath the Premises and/or the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not cause any unlawful accumulations of Hazardous Material (as defined below) to be
generated, brought onto, used, stored, or disposed of in or about the Premises, the Building, or the Project by Landlord or its agents, employees, or contractors, except for limited quantities of standard office and janitorial supplies and petroleum
and petroleum-related products commonly used on or at similar office projects. Furthermore, Landlord shall: (a) use, store, and dispose of all such permitted Hazardous Material in strict compliance with all applicable statutes, ordinances, and
regulations in effect during the Lease Term that govern and/or relate to Hazardous Material, public health and safety and protection of the environment, and (b) comply at all times during the Lease Term with all environmental laws (as defined in
Paragraph 38.2, below. Except as to those matters which are Tenant’s responsibility pursuant to Paragraph 38.2, below, Landlord shall be responsible, at its expense (or the expense of others; but not as an Operating Expense) to cause any
unlawful accumulations of Hazardous Materials to be remediated in accordance with the requirements of all applicable environmental laws. 
  
 38.2. Tenant’s Covenants. Tenant represents and warrants to the Landlord that its use of the Premises, the Building, and the
Project will be in full compliance with all environmental laws. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord against all actions, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and claims (except to the extent they arise as a
result of Landlord’s grossly negligent acts or willful misconduct), arising from or relating to: (i) any discharges, releases, or threatened releases of any Hazardous Material into ambient air, water, or land by Tenant or Tenant’s
Invitee’s from, on, under, or above the Premises, (ii) the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport, or handling of pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous or toxic wastes, substances, or materials by
Tenant or Tenant’s Invitees, or otherwise from, on, or under, the Premises, or (iii) a violation of any environmental law on, under, or above the Premises (for purposes of this Lease, “environmental laws” shall mean any Federal,
State, or local law, statute, regulation, ordinance, guideline, or common law principle relating to public health or safety or the use or control of the environment, including without limitation the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, the Carpenter-Presley-Tanner Hazardous Substance Account Act, the California Hazardous Waste Control Law, the Federal Clean Air Act, the California Air Resources Act, the Federal Clean Water Act, the
California Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the California Nejedly-Z’berg-Dills Solid Waste Management and Recovery Act, and California Health and Safety Code Section 25359.7). Tenant
agrees to promptly reimburse Landlord for all of Landlord’s costs arising from periodic monitoring of Tenant’s use, handling, or storage of Hazardous Substances at or surrounding the Premises. Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous
Material to be generated, brought onto, used, stored, or disposed of in or about the Premises, the Building, or the Project by Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, subtenants, or invitees, except for limited quantities of standard office
and janitorial supplies. Tenant shall: (a) use, store, and dispose of all such permitted Hazardous Material in strict compliance with all applicable statutes, ordinances, and regulations in effect during the Lease Term that govern and/or relate to
Hazardous Material, public health and safety and protection of the environment, and (b) comply at all times during the Lease Term with all environmental laws. If the Premises are contaminated (or, due to the acts or omissions of Tenant or
Tenant’s Invitees, the Project is contaminated) by any Hazardous Material during the Term, then (1) Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of such contamination, and (2) Landlord may elect to either (A) demand that Tenant perform all
remediation required by Landlord (to Landlord’s satisfaction and at Tenant’s sole cost, necessary to return the Premises (and/or the Project) to at least as good a condition as the Premises (or the Project) are in as of the date of this
Lease, which Tenant shall immediately do upon receipt of notice from Landlord, or (B) proceed to cause such investigation, clean-up, and remediation work which Landlord deems necessary or desirable to be undertaken, whereupon the entire cost thereof
(plus a supervisory fee equal to ten percent (10%) of such cost) will be payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent. If, after demand by Landlord, as provided in this Paragraph, Tenant does not promptly commence and diligently
pursue such remediation, then Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, perform or cause to be performed such remediation and Tenant shall immediately, upon demand, pay the cost thereof to Landlord, plus a supervisory fee in the amount of ten
percent (10%) of such cost. Tenant’s obligations and liability under this Paragraph shall survive the termination of Tenant’s tenancy and the Term of this Lease, except that nothing contained in this Paragraph shall be deemed to impose
liability on Tenant for any problem arising after the Term of this Lease provided neither Tenant nor Tenant’s Invitees contributed to such problem during the Term of the Lease. 
  

 19 








 38.3. Definition of Hazardous Materials. As used in this Lease, the term
“Hazardous Material” shall mean any hazardous or toxic substance, material, or waste that is or becomes regulated by the United States, the State of California, or any local government authority having jurisdiction over the Building.
Hazardous Material includes, without limitation: (a) any “hazardous substance”, as that term is defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) (42 United States Code Sections
9601-9675); (b) “hazardous waste”, as that term is defined in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA) (42 United States Code Sections 6901-6992k); (c) any pollutant, contaminant, or hazardous, dangerous, or toxic
chemical, material, or substance, within the meaning of any other applicable federal, state, or local law, regulation, ordinance, or requirement (including consent decrees and administrative orders imposing liability or standards of conduct
concerning any hazardous, dangerous, or toxic waste, substance, or material, now or hereafter in effect); (d) petroleum products; (e) radioactive material, including any source, special nuclear, or byproduct material as defined in 42 United States
Code Sections 2011-2297; (f) asbestos in any form or condition; and (g) polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and substances or compounds containing PCBs. 
  
 39. Prohibition Against Asbestos-Containing Materials. Tenant shall not allow or permit any materials which contain asbestos in any form or
concentration (“Asbestos-Containing Materials”) to be used or stored in the Premises or used in the construction of any improvements or alterations to the Premises, including, without limitation, building or construction materials and
supplies. Such prohibition against Asbestos-Containing Materials shall apply regardless of whether the Asbestos-Containing Materials may be considered safe or approved for use by a manufacturer, supplier, or governmental authority, or by common use
or practice. Landlord shall have the right, upon 24-hours’ notice, to enter upon and conduct inspections of the Premises to determine Tenant’s compliance with this Paragraph. If Tenant allows or permits Asbestos-Containing Materials to be
used or stored in the Premises or used in the construction of any improvements or alterations to the Premises, (a) Tenant shall, upon notice from Landlord, immediately remove such Asbestos-Containing Materials at Tenant’s sole cost, (b) such
removal shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and requirements concerning asbestos and the removal and disposal of Asbestos-Containing Materials, (c) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all expenses incurred in connection with any
inspection of the Premises conducted by Landlord, and (d) unless Tenant completes such removal within 30 days after notice from Landlord, Landlord may, at its election, do either or both of the following: (i) declare an Event of Default (without the
requirement of any notice under Paragraph 25.3) and exercise Landlord’s remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, terminate this Lease upon ten days prior written notice to Tenant, and/or (ii) remove and dispose of the
Asbestos-Containing Materials and obtain reimbursement from Tenant for the cost of such removal and disposal, including a supervisory fee payable to Landlord in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the removal and disposal cost. Tenant shall indemnify
Landlord and Landlord’s directors, officers, employees, and agents against all costs, liabilities, expenses, penalties, and claims for damages, including, without limitation, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, arising from (A) the
presence of Asbestos-Containing Materials upon the Premises, to the extent that such Asbestos-Containing Materials are used or stored in the Premises or used in the construction of any Alterations by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees,
representatives, or independent contractors, (b) any lawsuit, settlement, governmental order, or decree relating to the presence, handling, removal, or disposal of Asbestos-Containing Materials upon or from the Premises, to the extent that such
Asbestos-Containing Materials are used or stored in the Premises or used in the construction of any improvements or Alterations to the Premises by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, representatives, or independent contractors, or (C)
Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations to remove such Asbestos-Containing Materials under this Paragraph. The provisions of this Paragraph shall not apply to any Asbestos-Containing Materials brought onto the Premises by Landlord or
Landlord’s Invitees. 
  
 40. Security Measures. Tenant
acknowledges that, although the Building will contain a restricted access entry system (if provided for as part of Landlord’s Work), (i) the Basic Monthly Rent does not include the cost of any security measures for any portion of the Project
(ii) Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any such security measures, (iii) Landlord has made no representation to Tenant regarding the safety or security of the Project, and (iv) Tenant will be solely responsible for providing any security
it deems necessary to protect itself, its property, and Tenant’s Invitees in, on, or about the Project. If Landlord provides any security measures at any time, then the cost thereof shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses, but
Landlord will not be obligated to continue providing such security measures for any period of time, Landlord may discontinue such security measures without notice and without liability to Tenant, and Landlord will not be obligated to provide such
security measures with any particular standard of care. Tenant assumes all responsibility for the security and safety of Tenant, Tenant’s property, and Tenant’s Invitees. Tenant releases Landlord from all claims (other than due to
Landlord’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct) for damage, loss, or injury to Tenant, Tenant’s Invitees, and/or to the personal property of Tenant and/or of Tenant’s Invitees, even if such damage, loss, or injury is caused by
or results from the criminal, reckless, or negligent acts of third parties. Landlord shall have no duty to warn Tenant of any criminal acts or dangerous conduct that has occurred in or near the Project, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of
such crimes or conduct, and Tenant hereby undertakes to remain informed regarding such issues. 
  
 41. Subordination and Attornment. 
  
 41.1. Priority of Title. This Lease and Tenant’s rights under this Lease are subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, or underlying lease (and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements, or extensions thereof), now or hereafter affecting the Premises. The provisions of this Paragraph shall be self-operative, and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such
subordination, however, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any commercially reasonable instruments that Landlord, any Lender, or the lessor under any ground or underlying lease, may request to evidence such subordination, provided such
instrument contains customary non-disturbance language in favor of Tenant and is consistent with the provisions of the next sentence. If any Lender, or the lessor of any ground or underlying lease affecting the Premises, shall hereafter succeed to
the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise, then (i) such successor landlord shall not be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord, (ii) such
successor landlord shall not be bound by any prepayment by Tenant of more than one month’s installment of Basic Monthly Rent or any other Rent, (iii) such successor landlord shall not be subject to any 

  

 20 








 
liability or obligation of Landlord except those arising after such succession, (iv) Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such successor landlord as
Tenant’s landlord under this Lease, (v) Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any commercially reasonable instruments that may be necessary to evidence such attornment, (vi) upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in effect as a
direct lease (whether separately documented or not) between such successor landlord and Tenant upon and subject to all of the provisions of this Lease, and (v) Tenant shall be entitled to quiet enjoyment of the Premises for so long as Tenant is not
in default under the terms of this Lease or any substitute lease referenced above. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Paragraph, if any ground lessor or Lender elects to have this Lease prior to the lien of its ground lease, deed of
trust, or mortgage, and gives written notice thereof to Tenant that this Lease shall be deemed prior to such ground lease, deed of trust, or mortgage, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of such ground lease, deed of trust,
or mortgage, then this Lease shall be deemed to be prior to the lien of such ground lease or mortgage and such ground lease, deed of trust, or mortgage shall be deemed to be subordinate to this Lease. 
  
 42. Estoppel Certificate. Within ten days after written request from
Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, in recordable form, a certificate stating (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or in full force and effect as modified, and stating all modifications, (ii) the
then-current Basic Monthly Rent, (iii) the dates to which Basic Monthly Rent has been paid in advance, (iv) the amount of any security deposit, prepaid rent, or other payment constituting Rent which has been paid, (v) whether or not Tenant or
Landlord is in default under this Lease and whether there currently exist any defenses or rights of offset under the Lease in favor of Tenant, (vi) that any Landlord’s Work required by this Lease is complete (or stating any exceptions) and
(vii) such other matters as Landlord may reasonably request. Tenant’s failure to deliver such certificate within such ten day period shall be conclusive upon Tenant for the benefit of Landlord, and any successor in interest to Landlord, any
lender or proposed lender, and any purchaser or proposed purchaser of the Project that, except as may be represented by Landlord, this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, no Rent has been paid more than 30 days in advance, neither
Tenant nor Landlord is in default under this Lease, no defenses or rights of offset under the Lease exist in favor of Tenant, and that all Landlord’s Work required by this Lease is complete. Landlord will similarly, in connection with any
lending or Transfer transaction, upon ten days written request from Tenant, execute an estoppel certificate in favor of Tenant’s proposed lender or Transferee confirming (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or in full
force and effect as modified, and stating all modifications, (ii) the then-current Basic Monthly Rent, (iii) the dates to which Basic Monthly Rent has been paid in advance, (iv) the amount of any security deposit, prepaid rent, or other payment
constituting Rent which has been paid, and (v) whether or not to the best of Landlord’s knowledge Tenant is in default under this Lease. 
  
 43. Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord in the event of any default or Event of Default by Tenant shall
impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. The receipt and acceptance by Landlord of delinquent Rent shall not constitute a waiver of any default other than the particular Rent payment accepted. Landlord’s receipt and acceptance
from Tenant, on any date (the “Receipt Date”), of an amount less than the Rent actually due on such Receipt Date, or to become due at a later date but applicable to a period prior to such Receipt Date, shall not release Tenant of its
obligation (i) to pay the full amount of such Rent due on such Receipt Date or (ii) to pay when due the full amount of such Rent to become due at a later date but applicable to a period prior to such Receipt Date. No act or conduct of Landlord,
including without limitation, the acceptance of the keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance by Landlord of the surrender of the Premises by Tenant before the Expiration Date. Only a written notice from Landlord to Tenant stating
Landlord’s election to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and accomplish a termination of this Lease. Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act by
Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent to or approval of any other or subsequent act by Tenant. Any waiver by Landlord of any default must be in writing and
shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any rights granted to Tenant under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1179, California Civil Code Section 3275, and/or
any successor statute(s). Tenant represents and warrants that if Tenant breaches this Lease and, as a result, this Lease is terminated, Tenant will not suffer any undue hardship as a result of such termination and, during the Term, will make such
alternative or other contingency plans to provide for its vacation of the Premises and relocation in the event of such termination. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s waivers set forth in this Paragraph are a material part of the consideration
for Landlord’s entering into this Lease and that Landlord would not have entered into this Lease in the absence of such waivers. 
  
 44. Brokers. Tenant represents that no real estate broker, agent, finder, or other person is responsible for bringing about or negotiating this
Lease other than the Tenant’s broker listed in the Principal Lease Provisions, and Tenant has not dealt with any other real estate broker, agent, finder, or other person, relative to this Lease in any manner. Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord
against all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees and claims arising from any claims that may be made against Landlord by any real estate broker, agent, finder, or other person (other than as set forth above), alleging
to have acted on behalf of or to have dealt with Tenant. Landlord shall be responsible, upon satisfaction of the requirements of a separate written listing agreement between Landlord and Landlord’s broker, for the payment of the commission due
and owing to Landlord’s brokers identified in the Principal Lease Provisions (or any other brokers engaged by Landlord), pursuant to such separate written agreement between Landlord and Landlord’s broker. Landlord’s broker will in
turn split such commission with Tenant’s broker as such parties may agree. 
  
 45. Easements. Landlord may, at its election, from time to time, grant such easements, rights and dedications, and cause the recordation of parcel maps, easement and operating agreements, and restrictions
affecting the Premises and the Project, provided that no such acts materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights of ingress or egress to the Building and the Premises or Tenants right to use the Premises. Tenant shall promptly sign any
documents or instruments to accomplish the foregoing upon request by Landlord. Tenant irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant’s special attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver such documents or instruments on behalf of Tenant if Tenant refuses
or fails to do so within ten days of written request.

 46. Limitations on Landlord’s Liability. If Landlord is in default of this Lease, and as a
consequence Tenant recovers a money judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received upon execution of such judgment and levy against the right, title, and interest of Landlord in the Project, and
out of rent or other income from the Project receivable by Landlord or out of the consideration received by Landlord from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Landlord’s right, title, and interest in the Project. Neither Landlord
nor Landlord’s shareholders, members, officers, directors, agents, property managers, employees, contractors, or the partners comprising Landlord (if any) shall be personally liable for any deficiency. 
  
 47. Sale or Transfer of Premises. If Landlord sells or transfers the
Project (whether voluntarily or involuntarily), Landlord, on consummation of the sale or transfer, shall be released from any liability thereafter accruing under this Lease. If any security deposit or prepaid rent has been paid by Tenant, Landlord
may transfer the security deposit and/or prepaid rent to Landlord’s successor-in-interest and on such transfer Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability arising from the security deposit or prepaid rent. 
  
 48. Quitclaim Deed. Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord on
the Expiration Date, promptly on Landlord’s request, a quitclaim deed to the Premises, in recordable form, designating Landlord as transferee. 
  
 49. No Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation of this Lease, or a termination by Landlord,
shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate any existing subleases or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any such subleases. 
  
 50. Confidentiality. Except as essential to the consummation of the
transaction contemplated by this Lease (together with all amendments and addenda hereto), or in connection with a legitimate business purpose (such as in connection with a sale or loan transaction), Tenant shall keep and maintain the terms of this
Lease and the transactions contemplated by this Lease in strict confidence. Nothing provided herein, however, shall prevent Tenant from disclosing to its legal counsel and/or certified public accountants, prospective purchasers, or lenders the
existence and terms of this Lease or any transaction under this Lease, or any aspect of this lease, or from complying with any governmental or court order or similar legal requirement which requires Tenant to disclose this Lease, the terms of this
Lease, the transaction contemplated by this Lease and/or any aspect of this Lease; provided that Tenant and its agents, representatives, and professional advisors use reasonable and diligent good faith efforts to disclose no more than is absolutely
required to be disclosed by such legal requirement. 
  
 51.
Miscellaneous. 
  
 51.1. This Lease may be
executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one document. 
  
 51.2. Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall promptly furnish to Landlord, from time to time, financial statements certified
by Tenant to be true and correct, reflecting Tenant’s then current financial condition. Such financial statements shall include a current balance sheet and a profit and loss statement covering the most recent 12-month period available. In
addition, Tenant shall provide Landlord with its annual audited financial statements prepared by its outside firm of certified public accountants. Landlord shall not request financial statements from Tenant more than once every six months and
Landlord or Landlord’s Lender shall keep the information contained therein in confidence. Furthermore, Tenant’s obligations with respect to financial statements shall be limited to Tenant’s financial statements existing as of the time
of the request. In the event that Tenant becomes a publicly traded company and a reporting company under the Federal Securities Laws, then, until such time as Tenant ceases to be publicly traded, Tenant’s obligations with respect to delivery of
financial statements shall cease and Landlord’s obligation as to confidentiality of Tenant’s financial statements shall cease. 
  
 51.3. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall refrain from selling or otherwise distributing any
alcoholic beverages and such sales are expressly forbidden under this Lease notwithstanding the fact that Tenant may hold the appropriate license as issued and/or approved by the California Alcoholic Beverage Control Agency. 
  
 51.4. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the state in which the Premises are located. If the Premises are located outside of California, then the references in this Lease to California statutes shall be deemed to include any relevant statute of the jurisdiction
in which the Premises are located that is comparable to such California statutes. 
  
 51.5. For purposes of venue and jurisdiction, this Lease shall be deemed made and to be performed in the City of San Diego, California
(whether or not the Premises are located in San Diego, California) and Landlord and Tenant hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the County of San Diego. 
  
 51.6. Tenant covenants and agrees not to protest or in any way oppose any application for a license to serve
or sell liquor filed by tenants or other users of space within the Project. 
  
 51.7. Whenever the context so requires, all words used in the singular shall be construed to have been used in the plural (and vice versa), each gender shall be construed to include any other genders, and the word
“person” shall be construed to include a natural person, a corporation, a firm, a partnership, a joint venture, a limited liability company, a trust, an estate, or any other entity. 
  
 51.8. Each provision of this Lease shall be valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any provision of this Lease or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application
of such provision to persons or 

  

 22 








 
circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, unless such
provision or such application of such provision is essential to this Lease. 
  
 51.9. In the event any litigation, arbitration, mediation, or other proceeding (“Proceeding”) is initiated by any party against any other party to enforce, interpret or otherwise obtain judicial or
quasi-judicial relief in connection with this Lease the prevailing party in such Proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the unsuccessful party all costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees and expert witness fees relating to or
arising out of such Proceeding (whether or not such Proceeding proceeds to judgment), and any post-judgment or post-award proceeding including without limitation one to enforce any judgment or award resulting from any such Proceeding. Any such
judgment or award shall contain a specific provision for the recovery of all such subsequently incurred costs, expenses, and actual attorney’s fees and expert witness fees. 
  
 51.10. This Lease shall become effective and binding upon the parties when it has been executed by each of
Landlord and Tenant; notwithstanding the fact that the Term of this Lease (i.e. Tenant’s rights of full occupancy hereunder) will not commence until the Lease Commencement Date. 
  
 51.11. Subject to any restriction on transferability
contained in this Lease, this Lease shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors-in-interest and assigns of each party to this Lease. Nothing in this Paragraph shall create any rights enforceable by any person not a party
to this Lease, except for the rights of the successors-in-interest and assigns of each party to this Lease, unless such rights are expressly granted in this Lease to other specifically identified persons. 
  
 51.12. The headings of the Paragraphs of this Lease have
been included only for convenience, and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify or limit any of the provisions of this Lease, or be used in any manner in the interpretation of this Lease. 
  
 51.13. Time and strict and punctual performance are of the
essence with respect to each provision of this Lease. All references to “days” in this Lease will refer to calendar days, unless such reference specifically indicates that “business days” are intended. Business days will mean and
refer to all calendar days other than Saturdays, Sundays, and national or California state holidays. 
  
 51.14. Each party to this Lease and its legal counsel have had an opportunity to review and revise this Lease. The rule of construction
that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Lease or any Addendum or Exhibit to this Lease, and such rule of construction is hereby waived by Tenant. 
  
 51.15. All notices required or permitted to be given by
Tenant to Landlord shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered, sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight express courier service that provides written confirmation of
delivery to Landlord at the address set forth in the Principal Lease Provisions of this Lease. Each such notice or other communication shall be deemed given, delivered and received upon its actual receipt, except that if it is sent by mail in
accordance with this Paragraph, then it shall be deemed given, delivered and received three days after the date such notice or other communication is deposited with the United States Postal Service in accordance with this Paragraph. Landlord or
Tenant must give a notice of a change of its address to the other, if such address changes. All notices required or permitted to be given to Tenant by Landlord shall Landlord shall, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, be in writing, and such
notice shall be personally delivered, sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight express courier service that provides written confirmation of delivery, to Tenant at the address
set forth in the Principal Lease Provisions of this Lease. Each such notice or other communication shall be deemed given, delivered and received upon its actual receipt, except that if it is sent by mail in accordance with this Paragraph, then it
shall be deemed given, delivered and received three days after the date such notice or other communication is deposited with the United States Postal Service in accordance with this Paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, routine correspondence
between Landlord and Tenant shall be deliverable by regular U.S. mail, by fax, or by other such means of delivery as may become customary. 
  
 51.16. If more than one person is Tenant, then the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be the joint and several obligations of
each of such persons; provided, however, that any act or signature of one or more of any of such persons and any notice or refund given to or served on any one of such persons shall be fully binding on each of such persons. 
  
 51.17. All provisions, whether covenants or conditions, to
be performed or observed by Tenant shall be deemed to be both covenants and conditions. 
  
 51.18. All payments to be made by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall be in United States currency. 
  
 51.19. This Lease, the Exhibits and Addenda, if any,
attached hereto (which are incorporated herein by this reference), constitute all of the covenants, promises, assurances, representations, warranties, statements, agreements, conditions and understandings between Landlord and Tenant concerning the
Premises and the Project, and there are no other covenants, promises, assurances, representations, warranties, statements, conditions, or understandings, either oral or written, between them. Except as herein otherwise provided, no subsequent
alteration, change, modification, or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and signed by each of them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord may, from time to time, establish and amend such
Rules, regulations, and signage criteria, in a written form, for the benefit of the Project and Building, as it deems appropriate. Violations of such Rules, regulations, and signage criteria by Tenant or Tenant’s Invitees shall constitute a
material default of this Lease. 
  

 23 








 51.20. This Lease, upon full execution, supersedes and revokes any and all previous
leases governing the Premises, lease negotiations, arrangements, letters of intents, offers to lease, lease proposals or drafts, brochures, representations, and information conveyed, whether oral or written, between parties hereto or their
respective representations or any other person purported to represent Landlord or Tenant. The Tenant acknowledges it has not been induced to enter into this Lease by any representations not set forth in the Leases, nor has it relied on any such
representations. No such representations should be used in the interpretation or construction of this Lease and the Landlord shall have no liability for any consequences arising as a result of any such representations.
