    	6



    	 



    

 


(B)         Landlord
agrees that in calculating any Operating Expenses payable by Tenant under this Lease, that portion of Operating Expenses which
are controllable by Landlord (excluding, specifically, Taxes, Insurance, Utilities, and other items over which Landlord has no
control) will not increase more than five percent (5%) annually over the amount of such controllable Operating Expenses for the
previous calendar year. The Operating Expense payable by Tenant shall be subject to a 95% gross-up if actual occupancy of the
Building falls below 95%.


 


(C)         Commencing
on the Commencement Date, and thereafter with respect to each full or partial calendar year during the Term, Tenant shall pay
Landlord, together with each installment of the Monthly Base Rent, an amount equal to the estimated Additional Rent for the applicable
period. On or prior to the Commencement Date, and within thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of each calendar year during
the Term, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an estimate of the monthly Additional Rent for the applicable period which shall
be utilized for the purpose of calculating Tenant’s Additional Rent payment obligations under this Lease. Within ninety
(90) days following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written statement (“Statement”)
of Landlord’s actual Operating Expenses and Taxes for the prior calendar year (or applicable portion thereof). If Landlord’s
estimate of the Additional Rent of the applicable period was less than the actual Additional Rent as set forth in the Statement,
Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of the Statement, pay the difference to Landlord. If Landlord’s
estimate of the Additional Rent for the applicable period was greater than the actual Additional Rent as set forth in the Statement,
Tenant shall receive a credit equal to the difference which shall be applied against the next monthly installment of Rent. Each
Statement shall be sufficient to enable Tenant to compare the Statement to the definitions of Operating Expenses and Taxes set
forth in this Lease. Each Statement shall provide detail reasonably sufficient for Tenant to differentiate between Operating Expenses
that are attributable to one hundred percent (100%) to the Premises and Operating Expenses that are subject to Tenant’s
Proportionate Share. Tenant shall have the right to examine and copy at Landlord’s office during Landlord’s normal
business hours after reasonable notice to Landlord any relevant back-up information or documentation: (i) requested in good faith
by Tenant within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt by Tenant of each Statement; and (ii) which is reasonably
required to enable Tenant to understand each Statement. Absent fraud or manifest error by Landlord, each Statement will be final
if Tenant does not object within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt. If the results of Tenant’s examination show
an overcharge to Tenant of more than five (5%) percent of the actual amount owed by Tenant, Landlord shall pay the actual and
reasonable cost of such audit up to $1,500 (provided the audit is conducted by an independent certified public accountant experienced
in auditing commercial office records (“Accountant”) selected by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord,
and further provided the Accountant is not compensated on a contingency fee basis) and Landlord shall refund to Tenant any overcharge
of such items as discovered by the audit within thirty (30) days of notification of such findings.

(D)         All
Operating Expenses, Taxes and Additional Rent shall be computed on an accrual basis, provided that, no prepayment of any Operating
Expense or Tax before its due date shall, regardless of date of payment, be included prior to its due dale. Each Statement and
all estimates of Operating Expenses and Taxes and reconciliation statements shall be prepared by Landlord according to generally
accepted accounting principles, applied in a consistent manner.


 


(c)          Payment
of Rent. All amounts payable or reimbursable by Tenant under this Lease, including Annual Base Rent, Additional Rent, Parking
Fees (as defined below) late charges and interest (collectively, “Rent”), shall constitute and be payable and
recoverable as rent, in the manner provided in this Lease. All sums payable to Landlord on demand under the terms of this Lease
shall be payable within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Tenant of notice (with any related supporting computations or
documentation) from Landlord of the amounts due. Rent is payable in equal monthly installments (“Monthly Base Rent”),
in advance, on the first day of each calendar month without further statement or notice from Landlord. All other sums payable
to Landlord shall be payable, not more frequently than monthly, on the later of: (a) the due dates for such payments as set forth
in this Lease; or (b) five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s statement therefor. All Rent shall,
except as otherwise specifically provided in (or by way of recoupment of matured and liquidated obligations of Landlord under)
this Lease, be paid without offset, recoupment or deduction in lawful money of the United States of America to Landlord at Landlord’s
Address for Payment of Rent as set forth in the Basic Lease Information, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord
may from time to time designate. All other Rent items will be billed no more frequently than monthly, and will be included in
one monthly statement.


 


(d)          Rental
Taxes. Tenant shall pay to Landlord with each installment of Monthly Base Rent, Operating Expenses, Parking Fees, Taxes, Additional
Rent, or other Rent, the amount of any gross receipts, transaction privilege, sales or similar tax, exclusive of any state or
federal franchise tax or personal or corporate income tax measured by the income of Landlord, payable by Landlord on account of
this Lease or Tenant’s payment of such items to, or on behalf of, Landlord.


 


(e)          Late
Charge & Interest. If any payment of Rent is not received by Landlord within five (5) Business Days after its due
date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as a late charge (“Late Charge”) a sum equal to five percent (5%) of the
late payment. A late charge shall not be imposed more than once on any particular installment not paid when due, but imposition
of a late charge on any payment not made when due does not eliminate late charges imposed on other payments not made when due
or preclude imposition of a late charge on any other payments not made when due. To the extent the payment of any sums by either
Landlord or Tenant under this Lease require or permit the imposition of interest, the interest rate charged ("Interest

4.          Security
Deposit. Concurrently with
the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord $75,000.00 (“Security Deposit”) for Tenant's
full and faithful performance of all the terms and conditions required under this Lease. Upon the expiration of the 36th
month of the Term, provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Landlord shall offset $25,000 (“Rent Offset”)
from the Security Deposit and apply the Rent Offset toward the next due monthly installment of Annual Base Rent, leaving a Security
Deposit balance of $50,000.00. At the Expiration Date, Landlord will return to Tenant any remaining portions of the Security Deposit,
without interest, provided that if Tenant fails to pay any Rent or perform any covenants when due after any applicable notice
and cure periods, Landlord may apply any portions of the Security Deposit toward curing such default, and Tenant shall replenish
the Security Deposit to $50,000.00 immediately upon invoice by Landlord. Tenant will not be entitled to any interest or other
yield upon the Security Deposit at any time, and Landlord is free to commingle, invest or otherwise use said deposit, subject
to Landlord’s obligation to return the Security Deposit.


 


5.          Tenant
Improvements & Alterations. The
Parties shall perform their respective obligations with respect to design and construction of any improvements to be constructed
and installed in the Premises ("Tenant Improvements”), as provided in the Tenant Improvement Rider attached
to the Lease as Exhibit B. Except for any Tenant Improvements to be constructed
by Landlord or Tenant as provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not make any alterations, improvements or similar structural or
non-structural changes to the Premises (“Alterations”), without Landlord’s prior consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s
prior consent for interior non- structural changes with a total project cost under $10,000. Tenant shall provide Landlord with
at least five (5) business days prior notice prior to commencing any Alterations, which are not subject to Landlord’s prior
consent. Any Alterations shall be completed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense: (i) with due diligence, in a good
and workmanlike manner, using good materials; (ii) in compliance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iii) in compliance with any construction rules and regulations which
have then been promulgated uniformly and in good faith and communicated by Landlord to Tenant; (iv) in accordance with all applicable
Laws (including all work, whether structural or non-structural, inside or outside the Premises, required to comply fully with
all applicable Laws and necessitated by Tenant’s work); and (v) subject to the conditions set forth in the following
sentence which Landlord may in Landlord’s good faith discretion impose at the time of giving the consent. The conditions
permissibly imposed by Landlord shall be limited to requirements for Tenant to: (a) provide payment or performance bonds or additional
insurance (from Tenant or Tenant’s contractors or design professionals, if the cost of work undertaken as a single project
exceeds $50,000.00 and if Landlord would require such bonds or insurance if the contractors or professionals were retained by
Landlord); (b) use contractors or subcontractors approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
(or withheld without a written explanation of the reason therefor) or delayed; and (c) remove all or part of the Alterations
(except Tenant Improvements or Alterations paid for in whole or in part by Landlord) within thirty (30) days after expiration
or termination of the Term, as designated by Landlord, or such Alterations will then become the property of Landlord. If any work
outside the Premises, or any work on or adjustment to any of the Building systems, is required in connection with or as a result
of Tenant’s Alterations, such work shall be performed at Tenant’s expense by contractors designated by Tenant but
approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No approval or consent by Landlord
shall be deemed or construed to be a representation or warranty by Landlord as to the adequacy, sufficiency, fitness or suitability
thereof or compliance thereof with applicable Laws or other requirements. In addition to any Alteration paid for in whole or in
part by Landlord, and subject to the following sentence, all Alterations which would be fixtures under Arizona law if Tenant owned
fee title to the Project shall upon installation become part of the Building and be the property of Landlord. Tenant may from
time to time replace any Alterations upon satisfaction of all applicable requirements of this Section 5, provided
that if any Alterations so replaced are the property of Landlord the replacement Alterations shall also be the property of Landlord.

to be in violation of law or the certificate of occupancy for the Building or the Premises. Tenant will not use or permit the
Premises to be used for any purposes that interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Building by Landlord or the other tenants,
or which, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, impair the reputation of the Building.


 


Tenant
shall not do, or permit anything to be done in the Premises, or bring or keep anything therein, which will in any way increase
the rate of fire insurance on the Building, or violate, invalidate or conflict with fire insurance policies on the Building, fixtures

Tenant shall not access, perform maintenance or otherwise enter or use any portion of the Premises below the finished floor or

dispose of any oil, petroleum or chemical liquids or solids, liquid or gaseous products or any hazardous waste or hazardous substance
(collectively, "Hazardous Materials"), as those terms are used in the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or in any other federal, state or local law governing hazardous substances
(collectively, "Act"), as such laws may be amended from time to time at, upon, under or within the Premises or
the Building or the land on which it is built, or into the plumbing or sewer or water system servicing the Premises or the Building,
nor shall Tenant, its employees or agents cause or permit the discharge, spillage, uncontrolled loss, seepage or filtration of
any Hazardous Materials at, upon, under or within the Premises or the Building or the land or into the plumbing or sewer or water
system servicing the same. Tenant shall comply in all respects with the requirements of the Act and related regulations, and shall
notify Landlord immediately if Tenant discovers any Hazardous Materials at, upon, under or within the Premises or the Building
or the land. Notwithstanding the foregoing, normal quantities and use of those Hazardous Materials customarily used in the conduct
of general office activities, such as copier fluids and cleaning supplies, may be used and stored at the Premises without Landlord's
prior consent.

Landlord against all costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, damages, injunctions, suits, fines, penalties, claims, and demands,

damages and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) directly arising out of the existence of Hazardous Substances
and/or Environmental Conditions on the Premises which: (i) Landlord introduces on the Premises, Common Areas or Project; or (ii)

& Regulations. The Parties shall be bound by and comply with: (i) the rules and regulations attached to this Lease as
Exhibit C to the extent those rules and regulations are not in conflict with any term or provision of this Lease; and (ii) any reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord for all tenants of the Building after the Effective Date,
but only to the extent such rules and regulations are reasonably designed for the safety, care, order or cleanliness of the Common
Areas, do not unreasonably and materially interfere with Tenant’s conduct of its business or Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the
Premises, the Parking Facilities and the Common Areas, and do not require the payment of additional money by Tenant (collectively,
“Rules and Regulations”). Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant or to any other person for any violation
of, or failure to observe, the Rules and Regulations by any other tenant or other person (except Landlord), provided that notwithstanding
any provision of the Rules and Regulations to the contrary, Landlord shall not unreasonably or selectively enforce the Rules and
Regulations against Tenant and shall otherwise uniformly enforce all Rules and Regulations among tenants of the Building.


 


8.           Subletting
& Assignment.


 


(a)           Consent.
Tenant will not transfer or assign this Lease, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof or transfer possession or occupancy of
the Premises to any person, firm or corporation without the prior written consent of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed (collectively, “Permitted Transfer”). Tenant shall submit to Landlord such information

(b)           Tenant Liability.
Unless expressly released by Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, if there is any assignment or Permitted Transfer of
this Lease or subletting of the Premises, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for payment of the Rent and any other amounts
due to Landlord under this Lease and all other covenants and conditions of Tenant contained in this Lease.


 


(c)           Sale
of Premises or Assignment by Landlord. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease shall mean the owner of the Building
at the time in question. If there is a transfer (whether voluntary or involuntary) by such owner of its interest in the Building,
such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged from all covenants and obligations of the Lease thereafter accruing (but
not from liability for any uncured Default existing on the date of transfer) if: (i) the new owner expressly agrees in writing
to assume all of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease; and (ii) any Tenant funds that Landlord is holding are
delivered to the new owner.


 


(d)           Landlord’s
Recapture Right. Any assignment of this Lease or subtennancy shall be subject to Landlord’s Recapture Right (as defined
below). If Tenant elects to transfer or assign this Lease, or to sublease any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall first provide
Landlord with written notice (“Assignment Notice”) outlining the material terms of the proposed transaction
and designating the portion(s) of the Premises that will be affected (“Recapture Space”). Landlord shall have
ten (10) business days following receipt of any Assignment Notice to elect, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to exercise Landlord’s
recapture right “Recapture Right” with respect to the Recapture Space. If the Recapture Space is the entire
Premises, and Landlord elects to exercise its Recapture Right, the Lease shall terminate on the date that is thirty (30) days
following the date of the Assignment Notice (“Recapture Date”). If the Recapture Space is less than the entire
Premises, and Landlord elects to exercise its Recapture Rights,: (i) the Lease shall terminate with respect to the Recapture Space
only on the Recapture Date; (ii) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for the cost of installing a demising wall
between the Recapture Space and the remaining balance of the Premises; (iii) the Rent payable under this Lease shall be proportionately
reduced based on the square footage of the Recapture Space; and (iv) Landlord and Tenant will enter into an amendment to
the Lease properly evidencing the space reduction. If Landlord fails to exercise the Recapture Right within the required timeframe,
the Lease shall not terminate with respect to the Recapture Space and Tenant shall be free to proceed with the proposed transaction,
subject to the restrictions and requirements otherwise set forth in Paragraph 8(a), above. Landlord may lease the recaptured portion
of the Premises to the proposed assignee or subtenant without liability to Tenant. Upon any recapture (or partial recapture) as
provided under this Paragraph 8(d), Landlord and Tenant shall have no further obligations or liabilities to each other under this
Lease with respect to the Recapture Space, except with respect to obligations or liabilities which accrue or have accrued as of
the date of such termination or those obligations or liabilities which expressly survive the termination of this Lease.

office buildings in Scottsdale, Arizona. Any additional utilities or services that Landlord may agree to provide (including lamp
or tube replacement for other than building standard lighting fixtures) shall be at Tenant’s sole expense.


 


(b)           Additional
Services. Landlord shall furnish HVAC services at times other than Standard HVAC Hours, which Tenant may obtain by operating
thermostats or other controls for distinct zones in the Premises. Tenant shall pay for such services on an hourly basis at the
rate of $6.00 per hour per zone. Landlord may, at Landlord’s discretion, have the Premises separately metered for electricity,
in which case Tenant shall not be required to pay a separate fee for using HVAC services at times other than Standard HVAC Hours
and the total electrical expense for the Premises shall be deemed to be an Operating Expense for which Tenant is entirely responsible

plumbing, air conditioning, cooling, electric, and sewer and water systems, when reasonably necessary, by reason of accident, or
of repairs, alterations or improvements which in the good faith judgment of Landlord are desirable or necessary to be made, until
such repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed; and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for
failure to supply heat, plumbing, air conditioning, cooling, electric, and sewer and water service, or other service or act for
the benefit of Tenant, when prevented from so doing by Force Majeure or by orders or regulations of any federal, state, county,
or municipal authority (Landlord and Tenant shall each adhere to and abide by such orders and regulations without any reduction
in rent or in any of Tenant’s other obligations hereunder), and Tenant agrees that Tenant shall have no claim for damages nor shall
there be any abatement of Annual Base Rent if any of said systems or service shall be discontinued or shall fail to function for
any reason other than Landlord’s negligence or failure to perform its obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to notify Tenant, in advance, of any planned interruptions and to minimize interference with Tenant’s
business.

& Water Usage. Tenant will not install or operate in the Premises any heavy duty electrical or plumbing equipment or machinery,
without obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord. If, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Tenant consumes any utilities
or services in excess of the normal consumption for general office use, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord for the cost of such excess
consumption of utilities or services upon receipt of a statement of such costs from Landlord at the same time as payment of the
Rent. Landlord may, at Landlord’s discretion, have the Premises separately metered for electricity, in which case Tenant
shall not be required to pay a separate fee for using HVAC services, and the total electrical expense for the Premises shall be
deemed to be an Operating Expense for which Tenant is entirely responsible pursuant to Section 3(b)(ii)(A)(ii), above.

& Repairs.


 


(a)           Landlord
shall maintain or cause to be maintained in reasonably good order, condition and repair, all structural portions of the roof,

without limitation, the Parking Facilities, elevators and Common Area restrooms, building standard electrical, lighting, mechanical,
plumbing, heating, air conditioning systems, and building standard fluorescent light bulbs) in a manner comparable with other
Class A low- rise office buildings in Scottsdale, Arizona; provided, however, that: (i) Tenant shall pay the cost of repairs for
any physical damage to the Project or the Premises occasioned by the misuse or primary negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s employees,
agents or invitees, to the extent (if any) not covered by Landlord’s property insurance or the insurance Landlord is required
to carry pursuant to this Lease; and (ii) Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, be responsible for all maintenance
and repair (including janitorial costs) associated with any Non-Building Standard improvements, materials and/or finishes installed
in the Premises. The term “Non-Building Standard” shall mean any improvements, finishes or materials that differ in
any material respect from the standard improvements, finishes and/or materials used by Landlord in the Common Areas. Tenant shall
promptly report in writing to Landlord any defective condition actually known to Tenant which Landlord is required to repair.
All repairs, replacements and maintenance required of Landlord shall be made: (y) within a reasonable time (depending on the nature
of the repair, replacement or maintenance required) after receiving notice from Tenant or having actual knowledge, without duty
of inquiry, of the need for such repair, replacement or maintenance; and (z) in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere
with Tenant’s ability to conduct Tenant’s business in the Premises.


 


(b)           Tenant will keep
the Premises and the fixtures and equipment therein in reasonably good order and condition, normal wear and tear excepted. During
the Term, and subject to Landlord’s cleaning, repair and maintenance obligations, Tenant at Tenant’s expense, but under the good
faith direction of Landlord, shall repair and maintain the interior of the Premises, including the interior walls, floor coverings,
ceiling (ceiling tiles and grid), interior Tenant Improvements and any appliances (including dishwashers, refrigerators, hot water

(c)           Subject to the
requirements of this Lease, Landlord reserves the right at any time and from time to time, without the same constituting an actual

to make changes, alterations, additions, deletions, improvements, repairs, relocations or replacements in or to the Building and
the fixtures and equipment thereof, as well as in or to the street entrances, halls, passages, stairways and other Common Areas,
and to change the name by which the Building is commonly known and/or the Building’s address. Landlord reserves the right from
time to time to install, use, maintain, repair and replace Building signage, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters

and in the central core areas, and to relocate any Building signage, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment
included in the Premises which are located in the Premises or located elsewhere outside the Premises. Nothing contained in this
paragraph shall be- deemed to relieve Tenant of any duty, obligation or liability with respect to making any repair, replacement
or improvement or complying with any law, order or requirement of any government or other authority and nothing contained herein
shall be deemed or construed to impose upon Landlord any obligation, responsibility or liability whatsoever, for the care, supervision
or repair of the Building, or any part thereof, other than as expressly provided in this Lease. Said changes, alterations, additions,
deletions, improvements, repairs, relocations or replacements shall not materially damage or impair Tenant’s use or occupancy.


 


(d)           Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Lease, any and all injury, breakage or damage of any type whatsoever to the Premises or to other portions
of the Building, arising from any act or omission of Tenant or its agents, employees, licensees, invitees or contractors, shall
be repaired by Landlord at the sole expense of Tenant (net of insurance proceeds received by Landlord). Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for the costs of such repairs within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of written notice from Landlord of such costs.
This provision shall be construed as an additional remedy granted to Landlord and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies
which Landlord may have.

& Advertisements.


 


(a)           Landlord
agrees to display, at Landlord’s expense, Tenant’s name on the Building directory in the size and style or lettering typically

the public areas of the Building, except with Landlord’s prior written consent and then only in such location, number, size, color
and style (i.e., Building standard lettering) as is authorized by Landlord. If any such sign, advertisement or notice is exhibited
without first obtaining Landlord’s written consent, Landlord shall have the right to remove same, and Tenant shall be liable for
any and all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with said removal.


 


(c)           To
the extent permissible by law and subject to compliance with applicable covenants and conditions related to the Project, Tenant

Landlord’s comprehensive sign plan and standard guidelines, subject to the approval by the Landlord, the City of Scottsdale
and any applicable owner’s association. Landlord approves the location depiction and rendering of the Tenant Building Sign
as set forth on Exhibit E to this Lease, subject to: (i) compliance with Landlord’s comprehensive sign plan and standard
guidelines; and (ii) approval by the City of Scottsdale and any applicable owner’s association.


 


(d)           Landlord
shall have the right to prohibit any published advertisement of Tenant which in Landlord’s good faith opinion tends to impair
the image or reputation of the Building or its desirability as a Class A office building. Upon written notice from Landlord, Tenant
shall immediately refrain from and discontinue any such advertisement.


 


(e)           Tenant’s
signage rights set forth in this Section 11 are personal to Tenant and shall expire upon any Permitted Transfer.


 


12.         Excessive
Floor Load. Landlord shall have the right to prescribe the weight and method of installation and position of safes, filing
facilities or other heavy fixtures or equipment. Tenant will not, without Landlord’s prior written approval, install in the Premises

be liable for all damage (other than normal and reasonable wear and tear) done to the Building by installing or removing a safe
or any other article of Tenant’s office equipment, or due to its being in the Premises.


 


13.         Moving and
Deliveries. Except upon initial move-in, no freight, furniture or other bulky matter of any description shall be received into
the Building or carried in the elevators, without Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Landlord, its agents and employees shall not be liable for any accident or damage to property of Tenant resulting from the use
or operation of elevators or of the heating, cooling, electrical or plumbing apparatus, unless caused by and due to the negligent
or willful acts of Landlord, its agents or employees. Tenant hereby expressly releases Landlord, its agents and employees from
any liability incurred or claimed by reason of damage to Tenant’s property except for damage caused by the negligent or willful
misconduct of Landlord, its agents or employees. Landlord, its agents and employees shall not be liable in damages, nor shall this
Lease be affected, for conditions arising or resulting, and which affect the Building, due to construction on contiguous premises.


 


(b)           Criminal Acts
of Third Parties. Landlord, its agents and employees shall not be liable in any manner to Tenant, its agents, employees, licensees
or invitees for any injury or damage to Tenant, Tenant’s agents, employees, licensees or invitees or their property caused by the
criminal or intentional misconduct of third parties unless such injury or damage is the proximate result of Landlord’s breach of
any term or provision of this Lease.


 


(c)           Tenant
Indemnity. Subject to the terms and conditions otherwise set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord, Landlord’s
property manager, and their respective owners, members, employees and agents, and save them harmless from and against any and
all claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expense in connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property
arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon or at the Premises and/or the Common Areas, or the occupancy or use by Tenant of
the Premises and/or the Common Areas or any part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant, its
agents, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees unless proximately caused by and due to the negligent or willful acts of
Landlord, its agents or employees. If Landlord, the property manager, or their respective agents or employees shall, without fault
on its or their part, be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then Tenant shall protect and hold the
same harmless and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or paid in connection with such
litigation.

(d)           Landlord Indemnity.
Subject to the terms and conditions otherwise set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall indemnify Tenant, and Tenant’s respective
shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents and save them harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, damages,
liabilities and expenses in connection with loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property arising from or out of the
occurrence in, upon or at the Premises and/or the Common Areas, or the occupancy or use by Landlord of the Premises and/or the
Common Areas or any part thereof, or occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Landlord, its agents, employees, contractors,
invitees or licensees. If Tenant or its respective agents or employees shall, without fault on its or their part, be made a party
to any litigation commenced by or against Landlord, then Landlord shall protect and hold the same harmless and shall pay all costs,
expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or paid in connection with such litigation.


 


17.         Insurance.


 


(a)           Liability Insurance.
Each Party shall maintain in full force throughout the Term commercial general liability insurance providing coverage on an occurrence
form basis with limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) each occurrence for bodily injury and property damage
combined and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) annual general aggregate coverage. Each Party’s liability insurance policy
or policies shall: (i) include premises liability broad form property damage coverage and personal injury coverage; (ii) provide
that the insurance company has the duty to defend all insureds under the policy; (iii) provide that defense costs are paid in addition
to and do not deplete any of the policy limits; (iv) cover liabilities arising out of or incurred in connection with the Premises
or the Project, as applicable; and (v) extend coverage to cover liability for the actions of each Party’s employees, agents
and invitees. Each policy of liability insurance required by this Section 17 shall: (i) contain a cross liability endorsement
or separation of insureds clause; (ii) provide that any waiver of subrogation rights or release prior to a loss does not void coverage;
(iii) provide that it is primary to and not contributing with, any policy of insurance carried by the other Party covering the
same loss; (iv) provide that any failure to comply with the reporting provisions shall not affect coverage provided to the other
Party; and (v) name the non-procuring Party, and the Property Manager identified in the Basic Lease Information (“Property
Manager”), and such other parties in interest as the non-procuring Party may from time to time reasonably designate to
the procuring Party in writing, as additional insureds. Such additional insureds shall be provided at least the same extent of
coverage as is provided to the procuring Party under such policies.


 




    	19



    	 



    

 


(b)           Property Insurance.
Each Party shall at all times maintain in effect with respect to its personal property at the Project (including, with respect
to Tenant, any Alterations and trade fixtures owned by Tenant), commercial property insurance providing coverage, on an “all
risk” or “special form” basis, in an amount equal to at least 90% of the full replacement cost of the covered
property. Either Party may carry such insurance under a blanket policy, provided that such policy provides coverage equivalent to
a separate policy. During the Term, the proceeds from any such policies of insurance relating to losses incurred with respect to
the Project shall be used for the repair or replacement of the property so insured. In each case, the non-procuring Party shall
be provided coverage under such insurance to the extent of its insurable interest (if any) and, if requested by the non-procuring
Party, both Landlord and Tenant shall sign all documents reasonably necessary or proper in connection with the settlement of any
claim or loss under such insurance. Landlord will have no obligation to carry insurance on any Alterations or on Tenant’s
trade fixtures or personal property, and Tenant will have no obligation to carry insurance on any of Landlord’s personal
property.


 


(c)           Building Insurance.
Landlord shall maintain in effect insurance on the Building and Parking Facilities and Tenant Improvements with responsible insurers,
on an “all risk” or “special form” basis, insuring the Building and Parking Facilities and Tenant Improvements
in the amount of the full replacement cost thereof, excluding land. The insurance shall include an extended coverage endorsement
of the kind required by an institutional lender to repair and restore the Building (including the Tenant Improvements) and the
Parking Facilities. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, carry insurance against additional perils and/or in greater amounts,
provided that any such additional insurance is of a type and amount carried by owner of comparable Class A office space in the
Scottsdale metropolitan area. Landlord’s liability coverage on the Common Areas will insure Tenant against liability for
the acts or omissions of Landlord and its employees, agents and representatives.


 


(d)           Requirements
for All Policies. Each policy of insurance required under this Section 17 shall: (i) be in a form, and written by an
insurer, reasonably acceptable to the non-procuring Party; (ii) be maintained at the procuring Party’s sole cost and expense;
and (iii) require at least thirty (30) days’ (or such lesser period as is reasonably available) written notice to
the non-procuring Party prior to any cancellation, nonrenewal or modification of insurance coverage. All insurance companies issuing
such policies shall be admitted carriers licensed to do business in Arizona. Each Party shall provide to the other, upon request,
evidence that the insurance required to be carried by it pursuant to this Section 17, including any endorsement effecting
additional insured status, is in full force and effect and that premiums therefor have been paid.


 


(e)           Updating
Coverage. The amounts of insurance required by this Section 17 shall be reviewed and revised, three years after
the Commencement Date and each three years thereafter, to maintain approximately the same level of coverage that exists on
the Commencement Date, considering the coverage then carried by prudent landlords and tenants for Class A low-rise office
buildings in Scottsdale, Arizona.


 


(f)           Proof of Insurance.
Prior to occupancy of the Premises by Tenant, and not less than thirty (30) days prior to expiration of any policy thereafter,
each Party shall furnish to the other Party reasonably acceptable proof of insurance reflecting that the insurance required by
this Section 17 is in force, accompanied by an endorsement showing the required additional insureds reasonably requested
by the other Party. Such proof may consist of a certificate or a certified copy of each insurance policy required to be in force
at any time pursuant to the requirements of this Lease.


 




    	20



    	 



    

 


(g)           Notice of Fire
and Accident. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice in case of fire, theft, or accidents in the Premises, and in case of
fire, theft or accidents in the Building if involving Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees.


 


(h)           Waiver of Subrogation.
Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable (by way of subrogation or otherwise) to the other party (or to any insurance company
insuring the other party) for any loss or damage to the Premises or to the property of either party covered by insurance to the
extent of such insurance and all casualty insurance and other insurance carried either by Landlord or Tenant covering losses arising
out of destruction or damage to the Premises or its contents or to other portions of the Building shall provide for a waiver of
subrogation against Landlord and Tenant respectively on the part of the insurance company, and Landlord and Tenant mutually waive
all right of recovery against each other, their agents, or employees for any loss, damage or injury of any nature whatsoever to
property or person for which either party is required by this Lease to carry insurance.


 


18.         Damage
by Casualty.


 


(a)           Fire or Casualty
Damage. If there is damage or destruction of the Premises by fire or any other casualty, this Lease shall not be terminated,
except as provided in Section 18(c), but the Premises shall be promptly and fully repaired and restored by Landlord to the
extent of available insurance proceeds.


 


(b)           Untenantability.
If the condition referred to in Section 18(a) is such
so as to make the entire Premises untenantable, then the Rent which Tenant is obligated to pay hereunder shall abate as of
the date of the occurrence until the Premises have been fully and completely restored by Landlord. If the Premises are
partially damaged or destroyed, then during the period until Landlord completes restoration of the damaged portion of the
Premises, Tenant shall be required to pay Rent covering only that part of the Premises that it is able to occupy, based on
the Rentable Area of the Premises that can be occupied compared to the total Rentable Area of the Premises. Any repair or
restoration to be performed by Landlord under this Section 18 shall be limited to those portions of the Premises which
were constructed by Landlord or are Landlord’s responsibility to maintain or repair. Tenant, at its own expense, shall repair
or replace its furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, personal property and other items belonging to Tenant, and any leasehold
improvements constructed by Tenant, which are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty. Except as hereinabove
set forth, no compensation, or claim, or diminution of Rent will be allowed or paid by Landlord, by reason of inconvenience,
annoyance, or injury to business, arising from the necessity of repairing the Premises or any portion of the Building of
which they are a part.


 


(c)           Right to Terminate.
If the Premises are substantially or totally destroyed by fire or other casualty so as to be substantially untenantable, and it
shall require more than one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of loss for Landlord to complete restoration of same, or at
the time of the casualty less than one (1) year remains of the Term, either party, upon written notice to the other, may terminate
this Lease, in which case the Rent shall be apportioned and paid to the date of said fire or other casualty. If the repair to the
Premises are not substantially complete so that Tenant can reoccupy the Premises for the conduct of its business within two hundred
forty (240) days from the date of loss, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord fifteen (15) days prior
written notice, in which case the Rent shall be apportioned and paid to the dates of said fire or other casualty.


 




    	21



    	 



    

 


19.          Condemnation,
If the whole or a substantial part of the Project or the Building shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by
any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to said authority
to prevent such taking (collectively, a “Taking”), Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective
as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority, and Rent shall be apportioned as of that date. For purposes
of this Section 19, a substantial part of the Premises or the Building shall be considered to have been taken if, in Landlord’s
good faith opinion, the taking shall render the Building commercially impractical or undesirable for Landlord to permit this Lease
to continue or to continue operating the Building. Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for
any compensation arising out of or related to such taking and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award
without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant but reserves the right to assert a claim on its own behalf against the condemning
authority, which claim shall have no bearing on Landlord’s award. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, the
Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant pursuant to Section 3 shall be adjusted (based on the ratio that
the number of square feet of Rentable Area taken from the Premises bears to the number of rentable square feet in the Premises
immediately prior to such taking) as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority. Nothing contained
in this Section shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property,
fixtures or the leasehold interest belonging to Tenant, as long as such award is made in addition to and separately stated from
any award made to Landlord for the Premises and the Building or any loss of income associated with the condemnation. Landlord shall
have no obligation to contest any taking.


 


20.         Defaults
and Remedies.


 


(a)          Default.
Each of the following shall be deemed a default (“Default”) by Tenant and a breach of this Lease:


 


(i)            Subject
to Paragraph 20(i), below, a failure by Tenant to pay any Rent when due if such payment is not made within five (5) Business
Days after receipt of written notice from Landlord;


 


(ii)           An assignment
of this Lease or subletting of the Premises in violation of Section 8;


 


(iii)          A failure
by Tenant to cure or correct any violation, breach or failure in the observance or performance of any other term, covenant, agreement
or condition of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be observed or performed, within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of
written notice describing, in reasonable detail, the nature of the Default or, if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within
such thirty (30) day period, Tenant fails within such thirty (30) day period to commence, and thereafter to diligently proceed
to completion with, all actions necessary to cure the Default as soon as reasonably possible;


 




    	22



    	 



    

 


(iv)           Tenant’s
abandonment of or suspension of business in the Premises; or


 


(v)           Any
material and adverse misrepresentation by Tenant to Landlord in connection with the negotiation and/or execution of this Lease.


 


(b)          Remedies.
Upon the occurrence of a Default by Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to remedy such default as follows:


 


(i)           Landlord
shall have the right, immediately or at any time thereafter, without further notice to Tenant, to enter the Premises, without terminating
this Lease or being guilty of trespass, and do any and all acts as Landlord may deem reasonably necessary, proper or convenient
to cure such Default, for the account and at the expense of Tenant, and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Additional Rent all
damage and/or expense reasonably incurred by Landlord in so doing.


 


(ii)           Landlord
shall have the right to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and, with or without legal
process, take possession of the Premises and remove Tenant, any occupant and any property therefrom, using such force as may be
reasonably necessary, without being guilty of trespass and without relinquishing any right of Landlord against Tenant. No act or
thing done by Landlord shall be deemed to be an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises unless Landlord shall execute a written
agreement of surrender with Tenant. Tenant’s liability shall not be terminated by the execution of a new lease of the Premises
by Landlord. After such a dispossession or removal, (1) the Rent and other charges which are the obligation of Tenant shall be
paid up to the date Landlord’s re-entry, (2) Landlord may re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof either in the name of
Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may, at the option of Landlord, be less than or exceed the period which would
otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease, and (3) Tenant shall pay to Landlord any deficiency between the
sum of the Rent and other charges due hereunder plus the reasonable costs of relating the Premises (including broker’s and
attorneys’ fees, and the cost of alterations, repairs and replacements reasonably necessary to re-let the Premises) and the
amount of rents and other charges collected on account of the new lease or leases of the Premises for each month of the period
which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease (not including any renewal periods, the commencement
of which shall not have occurred prior to such dispossession or removal). Such deficiency shall be paid by Tenant in monthly installments
on the dates specified in this Lease for payment of Rent, and any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any
month shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding.
In the alternative, Landlord shall have the right to exercise all or any of the rights and remedies afforded Landlord under law
including, but not limited to, the right to terminate this Lease and recover Landlord’s damages incurred as a result thereof.
The damages Landlord may recover against Tenant include, but are not limited to, any Late Charge(s) otherwise due the worth at
the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount
of such rental loss for the same period that the Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, together with interest on all unpaid
sums at the Interest Rate. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future
laws if Tenant is being evicted or being dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises
by reason of the default by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.


 




    	23



    	 



    

 


(c)           Right of Landlord
to Cure Tenant’s Default. If Tenant defaults in the making of any payment to any third party, or doing any act required to
be made or done by Tenant relating to the Premises, then Landlord may, but shall not be required to, make such payment or do such
act. The amount of any resulting expense or cost to Landlord, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, with interest thereon at the
Interest Rate, accruing from the date paid by Landlord, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord and shall constitute Additional Rent
hereunder, due and payable by Tenant upon receipt of a written statement of costs from Landlord. The making of such payment or
the doing of such act by Landlord shall not operate to cure Tenant’s default, nor shall it prevent Landlord from the pursuit of
any remedy to which Landlord would otherwise be entitled.


 


(d)           Lien for Rent.
Upon any Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have a lien upon the property of Tenant in the Premises for the amount of any unpaid
Rent subject to any lien waiver(s) Landlord may have executed with lender(s) of Tenant. In such event, Tenant shall not remove
any of Tenant’s property from the Premises except with the prior written consent of Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right
and privilege, at its option, to take possession of all property of Tenant in the Premises, to store the same on the Premises,
or to remove it and store it in such place as may be selected by Landlord, at Tenant’s risk and expense. Notwithstanding any conflicting
provision of this Lease or any other provision of the Arizona Revised Statutes, Landlord shall never have any lien on or other
right of any nature in, on or with respect to any records, media, files, computers or other items containing any confidential or
privileged information relating to Tenant’s business or clients.


 


(e)           Attorneys’
Fees. Tenant agrees to pay all costs and reasonable expenses of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) on
any part of any sums due Landlord that may be collected by an attorney, suit, distress or foreclosure; and further, if Tenant fails
to promptly and fully perform and comply with any material condition and covenant hereunder and the matter is turned over to Landlord’s
attorney, Tenant shall pay Landlord a reasonable attorneys’ fee plus costs, where necessary, whether suit is instituted or
not.


 




    	24



    	 



    

 


(f)          Landlord’s
Remedies Cumulative. All rights and remedies of Landlord herein enumerated shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any
other right or remedy allowed by law. For the purposes of any suit brought or based hereon, this Lease shall be construed to be
a divisible contract, to the end that successive actions may be maintained on this Lease as successive periodic sums mature hereunder.


 


(g)          Landlord
’s Default.


 


(i)           If Landlord
fails to perform or comply in any material manner with any provision of this Lease, Tenant may give Landlord notice of the default
and Landlord shall have: (i) five (5) Business Days to cure the default, if the default can be cured by the payment of money; and
(ii) thirty (30) days to cure the default, if the default cannot be cured by the payment of money, but if a non-monetary default
cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30)-day period, Landlord will have such additional time as may be reasonably necessary
to cure the default so long as Landlord promptly commences to cure the default within the 30-day period and diligently proceeds
to complete such cure.


 


(ii)           If any default
by Landlord continues beyond the applicable cure period set forth in Section 20(g)(i), above. Tenant may pursue its rights
and remedies under this Lease and Arizona Law, excepting only the right of offset or deduction of Rent, unless such remedy is expressly
conferred by this Lease. In addition, Tenant may cure a default on Landlord’s behalf, and the costs expended by Tenant in
good faith in doing so shall be paid by Landlord upon demand together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate. If Landlord fails
to pay any sum due Tenant after default and such failure continues for more than three (3) Business Days after additional notice
by Tenant to Landlord and Landlord’s lender, Tenant shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies under this Lease
and Arizona law, the right to offset such amounts against all payments of Rent subsequently accruing until such amount with interest
at the Interest Rate is recovered in full, except that no more than fifty percent (50%) of any installment of Rent shall be offset.
Upon the giving of twenty-four (24) hours notice to Landlord, Tenant shall also have the right to self-help if Landlord fails to
provide heating, ventilation and air conditioning services to the Premises in the manner required by this Lease and in such event
any amounts expended by Tenant shall be payable by Landlord on demand together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate and Tenant
shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies under this Lease and Arizona Law, the right to offset such amounts against
all payments of Rent subsequently accruing until such amount with interest is recovered in full, except that no more than fifty
(50%) of any installment of Rent shall be offset.


 


(h)           Non-Waiver.
Acceptance of partial payment of Rent or other partial performance, with or without the accepting Parties’ knowledge of a
Default or default by the other Party, or failure of either Party to take any action on account of a Default or default by the
other Party, or to enforce its rights under this Lease, other than the acceptance of full payment of a cure of the Default or default,
shall not be deemed a waiver of any Default or default.


 


(i)           Special Default
Notice Rule. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 20(a)(i), above, Landlord shall not be required to provide
Tenant with written notice of non-payment more than one (1) time in any twelve (12) month period during the Term.


 




    	25



    	 



    

 









 


(i)
          Special
Default Notice Rule.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 20(a)(i),
above, Landlord shall
not be required to provide Tenant with written notice of non-payment
more than one (1) time in any
twelve (12) month period during the Term. Accordingly, if Tenant fails to make any
Rent payment when due and Landlord provided Tenant written notice of non-payment of Rent anytime within the prior twelve (12)
month period, Landlord shall not be required to provide written notice of non-payment with respect to that payment and a Default
will exist if such payment is not made within five (5) Business Days following the applicable due date.


 


21.          Encumbrances
& Public Notice.


 


(a)          Subordination
& Attornment.  This Lease is made and shall be subject and subordinate to any existing or future encumbrance created by
Landlord and covering all or any portion of the Project; provided, however, that such subordination shall only be effective as
to any future encumbrance if the holder of the encumbrance agrees that this Lease shall survive the termination of the encumbrance
by lapse of time, foreclosure or otherwise and that all holders of the encumbrance will be bound by this Lease and by all of Tenant's
rights under the Lease and Tenant agrees to and shall attorn to the holders of such encumbrance(s). Provided the conditions of
the preceding sentence are satisfied, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, within fifteen (15) Business Days after written
request by Landlord and in a form reasonably requested by Landlord and consistent with this Section 21, any additional
documents evidencing the subordination of this Lease, the nondisturbance agreement of all holders of encumbrances and Tenant's
agreement to attorn (“SNDA”). If the interest of Landlord in the Project is transferred pursuant to, or in
lieu of proceedings for enforcement of, any encumbrance and provided that the new owner of the Project complies with the requirements
of this Section 21, Tenant shall immediately and automatically following notice of such transfer attorn to the new owner,
and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the transferee and Tenant on the terms, and subject
to the conditions, otherwise set forth in this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to receive from Landlord’s
current lender, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, reasonably acceptable to Tenant, that provides (among
other things) that this Lease shall survive the termination of the encumbrance by lapse of time, foreclosure or otherwise and
that all holders of the encumbrance will be bound by this Lease and by all of Tenant's rights under the Lease and Tenant agrees
to attorn to the holders of such encumbrance.


 


(b)          New
Financing.   If any future mortgagee requires, as a good faith condition of any financing, that modifications to this Lease
be obtained, and provided that such modifications (i) are reasonable, (ii) do not adversely affect Tenant's use and enjoyment
of the Premises and the Common Areas or change the character of the Building from a Class A low-rise office building, (iii) do
not materially alter the Approved Plan for the Premises, and (iv) do not increase the Rent and other sums required to be paid
by Tenant, then Landlord may submit to Tenant a written amendment to this Lease incorporating mortgagee’s required modifications,
and, if Tenant does not execute and return to Landlord such written amendment within fifteen (15) Business Days after the same
has been submitted to Tenant, then Landlord shall thereafter have the right, at its sole option, to cancel this Lease. Such option
shall be exercisable by Landlord giving Tenant written notice of cancellation, immediately whereupon this Lease shall be cancelled
and terminate, and any money held by Landlord on Tenant’s behalf shall be returned to Tenant, and both Landlord and Tenant
shall thereupon be relieved from any and all further liability or obligation under this Lease.


 




    	26



    	 



    

 


22.          Estoppel
Certificates.   Tenant agrees, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice by Landlord,
to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written estoppel certificate (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and
in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, stating the nature of same), (ii) stating the Commencement Date
of the Lease Term, (iii) stating the amounts of Annual Base Rent and Additional Rent and the dates to which the Annual Base Rent
and Additional Rent have been paid by Tenant, (iv) stating the amount of any Security Deposit, if any, (v) stating whether or
not to the best knowledge of Tenant, Landlord is in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained
in this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such default of which Tenant may have knowledge, (vi) stating that Tenant has no right
to setoff and no defense against payment of the Annual Base Rent or Additional Rent, (vii) stating the address to which notices
to Tenant should be sent, and (viii) certifying such other matters as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. Any such certificate
delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by an owner of the Building, any prospective purchaser of the Building, any mortgagee
or prospective mortgagee of the Building or of Landlord's interest therein, or any prospective assignee of any such mortgage.
Failure to deliver the aforesaid certificate within the ten (10) days shall be conclusive upon Tenant for the benefit of Landlord
and any successor to Landlord that this Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified except as may be represented
by the party requesting the certificate. Further, if Tenant fails to deliver the certificate within the twenty (20) days, Tenant
permits Landlord the one-time right to execute and deliver the certificate to any third party.


 


23.          Surrender
and Inspection Upon the Expiration Date or other termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender the
Premises to Landlord broom clean and in as good order and condition as when received, ordinary and reasonable wear and tear excepted,
and Tenant shall remove all of its property from the Premises and its Tenant Building Sign from the Building by the Expiration
Date or other termination of this Lease. Tenant shall restore the exterior of the Building affected by the Tenant Building Sign
to its condition prior to Tenant’s installation of the Tenant Building Sign. Tenant's obligation to observe or perform this
covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease. If Tenant does not remove Tenant's furniture, equipment,
machinery, trade fixtures, floor coverings and all other items of personal property from the Premises prior to the Expiration
Date, then Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have conveyed the same to Landlord without further payment or credit by Landlord
to Tenant, and Landlord may dispose of such personal property at Tenant’s cost.


 


24.          Tenant
Holdover. If Tenant continues to remain in the Premises after the expiration of the Lease Term without Landlord’s consent,
Tenant shall become a tenant of sufferance only, at a base monthly rent which is one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the
Base Monthly Rent applicable to the last month of the Term (for the first three (3) months of a holdover) and then one hundred
fifty percent (150%) of the Base Monthly Rent applicable to the last month of the Term (for each subsequent holdover month), and
otherwise subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified. Tenant expressly agrees to hold Landlord harmless from
all loss and damages, direct and consequential, which Landlord may suffer in defense of claims by other parties against Landlord
arising out of the holding over by Tenant, including without limitation attorneys' fees which may be incurred by Landlord in defense
of such claims. Acceptance of rent by Landlord subsequent to the expiration of the Term shall not constitute consent to any holding
over.

TENANT IMPROVEMENT RIDER


 


1.           General.
This Tenant Improvement Rider (“Rider”) sets forth the specific terms and conditions governing the respective
obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the design and installation of, and payment for, the Tenant Improvements, and
the conduct of Tenant’s Work (as defined below). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Rider will have the meanings
given them in the Lease.


 


2.           Tenant
Improvement Payment Obligations.


 


a.           Landlord
Obligations. In order to assist in underwriting the total cost of the Tenant Improvement Work (as defined below), Landlord
will provide a tenant improvement allowance (“TI Allowance”) equal to $42.50 per square foot of Rentable Area
of the Premises. The TI Allowance will be used for any costs incurred in connection with the Tenant Improvement Work including,
without limitation, all materials, labor, taxes, equipment, permit applications and fees, architectural work and project management
fees, which include a three percent (3%) management fee payable to Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord (“Management
Fee”) for services such as plan review, bidding, scheduling, general contractor coordination, and delivery of the Tenant
Improvement Work. Landlord’s financial responsibility for the Tenant Improvement Work shall be strictly limited to the TI
Allowance and, as set forth in Paragraph 2(b), below, Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any costs associated
with the Tenant Improvement Work that exceed the TI Allowance.


 


b.           Tenant
Obligations. Tenant shall be obligated to pay all costs associated with the Tenant Improvement Work that exceed the TI Allowance.
All costs and expenses associated with the Tenant Improvement Work that exceed the TI Allowance (including, if applicable, all
costs and expenses associated with any Change Order Work (as defined below)), will be paid by Tenant in the same manner as Additional
Rent within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written demand (with any related supporting computations or documentation) from
Landlord of the amounts due (with supporting computations and documentation) of such amounts.


 


3.           Tenant
Improvement Work.


 


a.           Approved
Space Plan. Within five (5) days following the Effective Date, Landlord and Tenant will agree upon, and approve, a final design
and space plan for the Premises (“Approved Space Plan”) using Landlord’s designated interior architect,
Phoenix Design One, Inc. (“Architect”). Landlord and Tenant agree to meet, discuss and cooperate in good faith
to achieve the Approved Space Plan. The Approved Space Plan will set forth Tenant’s final design and space planning requirements
for the Premises in sufficient detail to permit Landlord to prepare the Final Tenant Improvement Plans (as defined below) and
bid the Tenant Improvement Work. The Approved Space Plan will be part of the Tenant Improvement Work and all third-party costs
associated with the preparation of the Approved Space Plan and approved by Tenant will be deducted from the TI Allowance.


 




    	B-1



    	 



    

 


b.           Final
Tenant Improvement Plans. Within twenty-five (25) days following approval of the Approved Space Plan, Landlord will prepare
or cause Architect to prepare plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvement Work (“Working Drawings”)
which are consistent with the Approved Space Plan and include Tenant’s final material selections (“Material Selections”).
So long as the Working Drawings are consistent with the Approved Space Plan and the Material Selections, Tenant will approve the
Working Drawings within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the Working Drawings (or, if not consistent, notify
Landlord of the inconsistency) from Landlord or Architect by providing a separate written approval. Tenant’s failure to
timely do so will be deemed an approval of the Working Drawings. If there are any inconsistencies of the Working Drawings from
the Approved Space Plan and Material Selections, then Landlord and Tenant agree to meet, discuss and cooperate in good faith to
address the inconsistencies within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s comments. After approval
of the Working Drawings, Landlord will prepare, or cause Architect to prepare, final plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvement
Work (“Final Tenant Improvement Plans”) which are consistent with the Working Drawings and which will
be used by Landlord to bid the Tenant Improvement Work and obtain the permits necessary to enable the selected contractor to construct
the Tenant Improvement Work. So long as the Final Tenant Improvement Plans are consistent with the Working Drawings agreed upon
by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant will approve the Final Tenant Improvement Plans (or, if not consistent, notify Landlord of the
inconsistency) within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the Final Working Drawings from Landlord or Architect
by providing a separate written approval. Tenant’s failure to timely do so will be deemed an approval of the Final Tenant
Improvement Plans. Landlord and Tenant agree to meet, discuss and cooperate in good faith to address any inconsistency of the
Final Tenant Improvement Plans from the Working Drawings within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s
comments. With prior written notice to Tenant, Landlord and/or Architect may make non-material changes to the Final Tenant Improvement
Plans as may be required by any municipal authority in order to obtain the building permit necessary to complete the Tenant Improvement
Work. If any municipal authority requires material changes to the Final Tenant Improvement Plans, Landlord and Tenant will cooperate
in good faith to finalize and approve the necessary changes within five (5) Business Days after notice from the municipal authority.
Tenant’s approval of any material changes to the Final Tenant Improvement Plans will be evidenced by a separate written
approval in a form reasonably designated by Landlord. The date that Landlord obtains the building permit required to commence
construction of the Final Tenant Improvement Plans will be known as the “Plan Approval Date.”


 


c.           Project
Bidding. Within five (5) days following preparation of the Final Tenant Improvement Plans, Landlord shall submit the Final
Tenant Improvement Plans for bid to at least two (2) general contractors, with one general contractor being selected by Landlord
and the other selected by Tenant. Both general contractors shall be licensed in Arizona and maintain appropriate insurance coverage.
Landlord shall select the successful bidder in Landlord’s commercially reasonable discretion considering the contractor’s
commitment to meet the Tenant’s required construction timeline, completeness of the bid, cost differentials for comparable
work and materials, and ability to perform in accordance with the complexity and scope of the Tenant Improvement Work, provided,
however, all bids shall be disclosed and reviewed with Tenant prior to Landlord's selection. The total cost associated with the
successful bid for the Tenant Improvement Work will be referred to as the “TI Cost.”


 




    	B-2



    	 



    

 


d.           Scope
of Tenant Improvement Work & Excluded Items. The “Tenant Improvement Work” will consist
of, and be limited to: (i) the Approved Space Plan, (ii) the Working Drawings; (iii) the Final Tenant Improvement Plans; and (iv)
the Tenant Improvements, constructed in accordance with the Final Tenant Improvement Plans, including any Change Order Work. The
Tenant Improvement Work does not include the design, acquisition and/or installation of computer, phone, telecommunications and/or
audio-visual cabling, wireless transmission facilities, trade fixtures, other office equipment, phone systems, trade fixtures,
inventories, supplies, modular furniture, cubicles, storage and filing cabinets and other related items that Tenant has or will
order for installation within the Premises (collectively, “FF&E”). The purchase and/or installation of
the FF&E (“Tenant’s Work”) shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive responsibility; provided, however,
that Tenant may, at its election, utilize any unused portions of the TI Allowance to pay the costs associated with purchase and/or
installation of the FF&E. The cost associated with any third-party Tenant representative project manager and/or inspector
hired by Tenant for Tenant’s Work shall be the exclusive responsibility of Tenant and shall not be part of the Tenant Improvement
Work or the TI Cost. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Tenant may submit a final invoice for such services to Landlord to
be paid from the TI Allowance if sufficient funds remain after the payment of the TI Cost otherwise contemplated under this Rider.


 


4.           Construction.


 


a.           Landlord's
Obligations - Shell Building. On the Effective Date, Landlord shall, at its own cost, tender the Premises “as-is”
and “where is” in its current shell condition (“Shell Condition”). All work required to improve
the Premises from Shell Condition to the condition specified in the Final Tenant Improvement Plans shall be Tenant Improvement
Work.


 


b.           Landlord's
Obligations - Tenant Improvement Work. Landlord (or an affiliate of Landlord) shall complete the Tenant Improvement Work,
subject to the Management Fee (as defined above). Subject only to Force Majeure Events (as defined below) and Tenant Delays (as
defined below), Landlord will cause the Tenant Improvement Work to be commenced and completed in conformance with the Final Tenant
Improvement Plans, using, as applicable, the Material Selections (or, with prior approval of Tenant, not to be unreasonably withheld,
commercially reasonable substitutes if any Material Selections are not available). Subject to the TI Allowance, Landlord will
pay for the Tenant Improvement Work.


 


c.           Tenant's
Obligations. Tenant will cooperate with Landlord and the Selected Contractor throughout the construction process and, except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Rider, provide requested consents and approvals within five (5) Business Days. Tenant
shall be financially responsible to coordinate and/or complete: (i) Tenant’s Work; and (ii) any costs associated
with the Tenant Improvement Work and any Change Order Work that exceeds the TI Allowance.


 




    	B-3



    	 



    

 


d.           Completion;
Punch List. Subject to extensions resulting from Tenant Delays and/or Force Majeure Events, Landlord will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Tenant Improvement Work to be substantially completed on or before the date that is one hundred
twenty (120) days after the Plan Approval Date (“Scheduled Completion Date"). The Tenant Improvement Work will
be deemed to be substantially completed and the “Completion Date” will occur at such time as: (y) Landlord
notifies Tenant that the Tenant Improvement Work has been substantially completed in accordance with the Final Tenant Improvement
Plans, subject only to the Punch List Items (as defined below), which will not materially impair Tenant’s intended use of
the Premises; and (z) the City of Scottsdale has issued a temporary Certificate of Occupancy, Certificate of Completion
or the reasonable equivalent, which will enable Tenant to occupy and conduct its intended use in the Premises. If Landlord obtains
a temporary Certificate of Occupancy as provided in the clause (z), above, Landlord shall nonetheless diligently pursue to completion
obtaining a permanent Certificate of Occupancy. Landlord shall give Tenant at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of
the anticipated Scheduled Completion Date. Landlord and Tenant will schedule and conduct an inspection of the Tenant Improvement
Work no less than five (5) Business Days prior to Landlord’s substantial completion. After the inspection, Tenant and Landlord
shall mutually agree upon the items that Landlord is required to correct to Tenant’s reasonable satisfaction (“Punch
List Items”). The inspection shall be scheduled for a Business Day at a time mutually acceptable to Tenant and Landlord.
Landlord shall complete the Punch List Items within thirty (30) days following the inspection. If the Tenant Improvement Work
is not deemed to be substantially completed on or before the Scheduled Completion Date, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to complete all remaining Tenant Improvement Work within 60 days and, during this 60-day grace period (“Grace
Period”), the Lease will remain in full force and effect, Landlord will not be deemed to be in breach or default of
the Lease, and Landlord will have no liability to Tenant as a result of any delay except that, subject to Tenant Delays and Force
Majeure Events, Tenant shall receive an abatement of Monthly Base Rent in an amount equal to one (1) day of Monthly Base Rent
for each one (1) day delay for completion beyond the Grace Period.


 


5.           Tenant
Delays. The Scheduled Completion Date will be extended on a day-for-day basis if the Tenant Improvement Work has not been
substantially completed by reason of any of the following (collectively, “Tenant Delays”):


 


(i)          the
failure of Tenant to confirm the Approved Space Plan within the required timeframe set forth in Paragraph 3(a), above;


 


(ii)         the
failure of Tenant to confirm the Working Drawings or changes to the Final Tenant Improvement Plans within the required time frames
set forth in Paragraph 3(b), above;


 


(iii)        the
failure of Tenant to confirm the Final Tenant Improvement Plans within the timeframe set forth in Paragraph 3(b), above;


 


(iv)        Tenant’s
requirements for special work or materials, finishes, or installations other than those described in the Final Tenant Improvement
Plans or Tenant's requirements for special construction staging or phasing;


 




    	B-4



    	 



    

 


(v)         the
performance of Tenant’s Work, or any Change Order Work approved by Tenant which delays the Scheduled Completion Date, or
the performance of any other work in the Premises by Tenant or Tenant’s Contractors (as defined below); or


 


(vi)        any
other act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant’s Contractors which results in construction delays.


 


6.           Change
Orders. Following Tenant’s approval of the Working Drawings, Tenant may only request that Landlord make changes to the
Tenant Improvement Work pursuant to the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in this Section 6. Upon Tenant’s
request and Tenant’s submission of the necessary information and/or plans and specifications for any changes or additions
to the Tenant Improvement Work (“Change Order Work”), and Landlord’s reasonable approval of the Change
Order Work, Landlord will cause its contractors to perform the Change Order Work, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, subject only
to the application of any unspent portion(s) of the TI Allowance. Prior to commencing any Change Order Work requested by Tenant,
Landlord will submit to Tenant a written statement of the additional cost or cost savings, if any, associated with the Change
Order Work and, if known, whether the Change Order Work would reasonably result in any delay in the Scheduled Completion Date,
Concurrently with this statement, Landlord also will submit To Tenant a proposed tenant change order (“Tenant Change
Order”) for the Change Order Work. Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord the Tenant Change Order and, subject
only to the TI Allowance, will pay Landlord the entire remaining cost of the Tenant Change Order as Additional Rent pursuant to
Paragraph 2(b), above. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver the Tenant Change Order or pay the entire cost of the Change
Order Work which is in excess of the TI Allowance within the applicable period, Landlord will not perform any of the Change Order
Work.


 


7.           Force
Majeure Events. The Scheduled Completion Date will be extended for any period that Landlord is prevented from completing its
construction requirements due to: (i) governmental restrictions or orders of any governmental authorities beyond the reasonable
control of Landlord: (ii) strikes; (iii) labor disputes or lockouts; (iv) shortages of material or labor; (v) riots; (vi) acts
of God; (vii) enemy action; (viii) Tenant Delays; (ix) civil commotion, fire, casualty, inclement weather, and the like; or (x)
any other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (collectively, “Force Majeure Events”).

Date. The “Commencement Date” shall be the date that the Tenant Improvement Work is substantially completed
as provided in Section 4(d) of this Tenant Improvement Rider.
