Escrow Holder
reasonably anticipates that interest on the Deposit will likely exceed any

Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the Deposit
will become non-refundable on the first day following the end of the Due
Diligence Period and will be immediately delivered by Escrow Holder to Seller

forth in Sections 8.1.3 and/or 8.1.4), or termination of the Agreement pursuant
to Section 17.  Notwithstanding any
other provision herein, no interest will accrue on the Deposit after its
delivery to Seller, except as expressly provided above.  If this Agreement terminates due to a default
by Seller (including, without limitation, a failure of closing conditions set forth
in Sections 8.1.3 and/or 8.1.4) or the provisions set forth in Section 17,
then Seller shall wire transfer the Deposit (less the Independent
Consideration) to Buyer within five (5) business days after such
termination and such obligation shall survive the termination of this
Agreement; provided, however, if Seller in good faith disputes the existence of
such a default by Seller, then Seller shall give Buyer written notice thereof
within five (5) business days after Seller first receives notice from Buyer
alleging such default and Seller shall thereafter exercise diligent good faith
efforts to resolve such dispute pursuant to the provisions set forth below in Section 26.17,
in which event Seller shall not be required to return the Deposit (less the
Independent Consideration) to Buyer unless and until either (i) the
parties mutually agree in writing thereto, or (ii) the arbitrator awards
Buyer with the return of the Deposit or a portion thereof, and in such event,
Seller shall thereafter comply with the applicable agreement or award within
five (5) business days.

 

The sum of ONE
HUNDRED AND NO ONE-HUNDREDTHS DOLLARS ($100.00) shall be retained from the
Deposit by Seller as consideration for Buyer’s right to inspect the Property
and for Seller’s execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement, the
sufficiency of which is acknowledged by Seller (the “Independent
Consideration”).  The
Independent Consideration is in addition to and independent of any
consideration or payment provided in this Agreement, is nonrefundable, and
shall be retained by Seller notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement.  In addition, the parties
further acknowledge and agree that Independent Consideration includes Buyer’s
covenant to obtain a Phase 1 environmental assessment for the Property and a
survey of the Property and to provide copies of the same to Seller pursuant to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

3.2  Cash Balance.  No later than one (1) business day prior

day funds.

by delivering to Escrow Holder a fully executed copy of this Agreement (the “Opening of Escrow”). 
The purchase and sale of the Property will be completed through the
Escrow.  Buyer and Seller agree to
execute any additional instructions reasonably required by the Escrow
Holder.  If there is a conflict between
any printed escrow instructions and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement
will govern.

5.             Cancellation Fees and
Expenses:  If the Closing does not
occur at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement because of the
default of one of the parties, the non-defaulting party has the right to cancel
the Escrow by written notice to the defaulting party and to the Escrow
Holder.  All costs of cancellation, if
any, will be paid by the defaulting party subject to section 24.1.  In addition, in the event of a default by
Seller which results in a termination of this Agreement, Buyer will be entitled
to a return of the Deposit together with all interest accrued thereon while the
Deposit was held in Escrow pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section 3.1.  At any time before or on the last day of the
Due Diligence Period, the Buyer may give the Seller written notice (the “Termination Notice”) that Buyer does not wish to acquire the
Property, in which event this Agreement will terminate.  If the Purchaser gives a Termination Notice
before or on the last day of the Due Diligence Period, this Agreement shall
terminate, all the Deposit and accrued interest (less the Independent Consideration)
will promptly be returned to the Buyer, and neither the Buyer nor Seller will
have any further obligations or liabilities in connection with this
Agreement.  The Independent Consideration
shall be paid to Seller.  The Buyer’s
decision as to whether to give the Termination Notice may be made for any
reason or no reason and in its sole, absolute and unreviewable discretion.

Close of Escrow:

 

8.1           Conditions Precedent
to Buyer’s Obligations.  The
following conditions must be satisfied not later than the Closing Date or such
other period of time as may be specified below:

 

8.1.1  Title.  Buyer may obtain a title examination or title
Commitment (the “Title Commitment”) for the Property, at Buyer’s expense,
issued by a title company selected by Buyer, reflecting the status of title to
the Property.  Such title company shall

approves, disapproves and/or waives the results of any and all inspections,
investigations, tests and studies (including but not limited to the Title
Commitment) as Buyer may have elected to make or obtain within the Due
Diligence Period.  If Buyer fails to so
notify Seller in writing of such approval, disapproval and/or waiver, Buyer
will be deemed to have accepted the
condition of the Property and all matters relating to the Property as referenced
in Section 9.1.  Buyer will pay for all
such inspections, tests and studies.  In
the event this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing, Buyer will give to
Seller copies of any property inspection report, phase 1 report and survey

by Seller hereunder (including, without limitation, the pre-closing covenants
set forth below in Section 16.7) and, subject to any matters discovered by

representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement will be true and
correct as of the Closing Date.

described in Section 6.1.

 

8.1.5  Title Insurance.  As of the Close of Escrow, the Title Company

contained herein, Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, have the
obligation to satisfy and remove any monetary encumbrance placed on the
Property solely by Seller (excluding non-delinquent real property taxes which
are subject to the proration provisions in Section 13.1), if Buyer
disapproves the same.

 

The conditions set forth in this Section 8.1 are solely for the
benefit of Buyer and may be waived only by Buyer.  At all times Buyer has the right to waive any
condition.  Such waiver or waivers must
be in writing to Seller.  If any
conditions are not satisfied on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period
or the Closing Date, as applicable (unless such conditions are deemed satisfied
for failure to notify Seller of disapproval), and Buyer has not waived the
unsatisfied conditions, Seller will not be deemed to be in default (unless
Seller has breached Sections 8.1.3 or 8.1.4 above) and Buyer’s sole remedy
will be to terminate this Agreement and obtain the refund of the Deposit
together with interest accrued thereon less the
Independent Consideration.

 

8.2           Conditions Precedent
to Seller’s Obligations.  The Close
of Escrow and Seller’s obligations with respect to this transaction are subject
to the following conditions precedent:

 

8.2.1  Buyer’s delivery to Escrow
Holder on or before the Closing Date, of the Purchase Price and the other items
described in Section 6.2.

 

8.2.2  Buyer having duly
performed each and every agreement to be performed by Buyer hereunder, and
Buyer’s representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement,
continuing to be true and correct as of the Closing Date.

 

The conditions set
forth in this Section 8.2 are solely for the benefit of Seller and may be
waived only by Seller, with such waiver to be in writing to Buyer.

 

8.3           Seller’s Rights
Regarding Buyer’s Conditions. 
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, Seller will
have the right to terminate this Agreement if Buyer has not satisfied or waived
in writing its conditions precedent and notified Seller in writing of Buyer’s
desire to close escrow on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, Seller
shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement if the closing conditions set
forth above in Sections 8.1.3 have not
been satisfied or waived in writing by Buyer.

covenants to and represents and warrants to Seller that it shall, independently

and will conduct its own due diligence on all matters referred to in such
documents and information, or otherwise relating to the Property.

 

9.3           Notice of Objections.

 

(a)           If Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing
within the Due Diligence Period of either (i) any objections that Buyer
has to the matters set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of Section 9.1, or (ii) Buyer’s approval and/or
waiver of the matters set forth in paragraphs (a) through (f) of Section 9.1, then Buyer will be deemed to have (A) disapproved

the Property, and (B) elected to terminate this Agreement, in which event
the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon (less the Independent
Consideration) will promptly be returned to the Buyer, and neither the Buyer
nor Seller will have any further obligations or liabilities in connection with

(b)           If Buyer notifies Seller in writing of any
objections to the condition of the Property or any other matters relating to
the Property as referred to in Subparagraph (a) through (f) of Section 9.1
within the Due Diligence Period (as opposed to Buyer simply giving Seller
notice of Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement due to Buyer’s
disapproval of the Property or matters pertaining thereto), the parties will
have ten (10) business days to agree
upon a resolution of the objection(s). 
If the parties cannot agree within the ten (10) business
day period, then Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s sole option,
to either (i) accept the objectionable matter by written notice delivered
to Seller within three (3) business days after
expiration of such ten (10) business day

days after expiration of the previous ten (10) business day

within three (3) business days after the
expiration of the ten (10) business day
period and Buyer, as its sole remedy, will be entitled to the return of the
Deposit and any interest accrued thereon less the Independent
Consideration.  If Buyer fails to timely
give notice pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this subparagraph (b),
then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected clause (ii).

 

(c)           However, if Buyer gives Seller notice of its
election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 9.3(b),
Seller may elect, by written notice to Buyer and to Escrow Holder within three (3) business days following Seller’s receipt of
Buyer’s notice, to correct the objectionable matter prior to the Close of
Escrow, which correction shall be satisfactory to Buyer in its sole
discretion.  If Seller elects to correct
the objectionable matter, Seller will be entitled to extend the Close of Escrow
for not more than thirty (30) days
in order to correct the objectionable matter and, in such event, this Agreement
will not terminate.  If Seller fails to
correct the objectionable matter by the Closing Date, as extended, Buyer shall
have the right, at Buyer’s sole option, to either (i) accept the
objectionable matter by written notice delivered to Seller within three (3) business days after expiration of such thirty
(30) day period, in which event the Closing shall occur within ten (10) business days after expiration of such thirty
(30) day period, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Seller within three (3) business days after
expiration of such thirty (30) day period and, as Buyer’s sole remedy, receive
a refund of its Deposit and any interest accrued thereon less the Independent
Consideration.  If Buyer fails to timely
give notice pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this subparagraph (c),
then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected clause (ii).

will be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense; however, Buyer’s election to obtain
an extended coverage policy will not delay the Closing and Buyer’s inability to

covenants that it will provide Title Company with an Owner’s Declaration in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit H.

Close of Escrow takes place before the real estate taxes are fixed for the tax
year in which the Close of Escrow occurs, the apportionment of real estate
taxes will be made on the basis of the real estate taxes for the immediately
preceding tax year applied to the latest assessed valuation, in which event the
parties shall properly adjust the proration of real estate taxes after the
Close of Escrow promptly following the issuance of the tax bill for the tax
year in which the Close of Escrow occurs and such obligation shall survive the

supplemental taxes
billed after the Close of Escrow for periods prior to the Close of Escrow will

Escrow.  Any tax refunds received by
Buyer which are allocable to the period prior to Closing will be paid by Buyer
to Seller, which obligation will survive the Close of Escrow.

 

13.2  Rents
and Deposits.  Intentionally deleted.

 

13.3  Utilities.  Seller will notify all utility companies
servicing the Property of the sale of the Property to Buyer and will request
that such companies send Seller a final bill for the period ending on the last
day before the Close of Escrow.  Buyer
will notify the utility companies that all utility bills for the period
commencing on the Close of Escrow are to be sent to Buyer.  Seller shall be entitled to receive a return
of any utility deposits deposited by Seller with utility companies for the
Property and Buyer shall be responsible to arrange for substitute deposits with
the utility companies as may be required. 
If following the Close of Escrow either Buyer or Seller receives a bill
for utilities or other services provided to the Property for the period in
which the Close of Escrow occurred, Buyer and Seller will equitably prorate the
bill, which obligation shall survive the Close of Escrow.

the Improvements is damaged or destroyed by earthquake, flood, landslide, fire
or other casualty, Seller will promptly inform Buyer of such fact in writing
and advise Buyer as to the extent of the damage and whether it is, based on the
opinion of a licensed contractor mutually approved by Seller and Buyer (the “mutually approved licensed contractor”), “material” or not “material” (as
such term is defined below).  Seller and Buyer shall attempt to agree upon
such mutually approved licensed contractor using their best good-faith
efforts.  If Seller and Buyer fail to
reach agreement within five (5) business days after the date of such
casualty, then either party may, upon at least five (5) days’ prior
written notice to the other party, request the Presiding Judge of the Los
Angeles County Superior Court, acting in his private and nonjudicial capacity,
to appoint a licensed contractor (who shall meet the criteria set forth below
in Section 17.2(d)(i)) to act as the “mutually approved licensed
contractor” for purposes of determining whether or not the applicable damage is
material.

 

(a)           If such damage or destruction is “material”, Buyer has the option to terminate this Agreement
upon written notice to the Seller given not later than 10 days
after receipt of Seller’s written notice to Buyer advising of such damage or
destruction.

 

(b)           For purposes hereof, “material”
is deemed to be any damage or destruction to the Improvements where the cost of
repair or replacement is estimated by the mutually approved licensed contractor
to be more than ten percent (10%) of the Purchase
Price of the Property and will take more than 60 days
to repair.

 

(c)           If this Agreement is so terminated, the
provisions of Section 5 will govern.

 

(d)           If
Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement, or if the casualty is not
material, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the value reasonably estimated
by the mutually approved licensed contractor to repair or restore the damaged
portion of the Improvements (the

 

22

 

“Purchase Price Reduction Amount”);
provided, however, each party shall have the right to object to the Purchase
Price Reduction Amount determined by the mutually approved licensed contractor
by sending the other party written notice thereof within five (5) business
days after the objecting party’s receipt of notice of the Purchase Price
Reduction Amount.  A party’s failure to
timely object to the mutually approved licensed contractor’s Purchase Price
Reduction Amount shall constitute such party’s approval thereof.  If either party timely objects to the
mutually approved licensed contractor’s Purchase Price Reduction Amount, then
Seller and Buyer shall attempt to agree upon such Purchase Price Reduction
Amount using their best good-faith efforts. 
If Seller and Buyer fail to reach agreement within five (5) business
days after the initial objection to the mutually approved licensed contractor’s
Purchase Price Reduction Amount (the “Outside Agreement Date”),
then each party shall submit to the other party a separate written
determination of the Purchase Price Reduction Amount within five (5) business
days after the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be
submitted to arbitration in accordance with clauses (i) through (vii),
below.  Failure of Seller or Buyer to
submit a written determination of such Purchase Price Reduction Amount within
such five (5) business day period shall conclusively be deemed to be the
non-determining party’s approval of such Purchase Price Reduction Amount
submitted within such five (5) business day period by the other party.

 

(i)            Seller and Buyer shall each appoint one
arbitrator who shall by profession be an independent contractor licensed in the
State of California who has no financial interest in Seller or Buyer, who has
no ongoing relationship with Seller or Buyer and who shall have been active
over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in
the construction of improvements comparable to the Improvements in the
metropolitan Los Angeles, California area. 
The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the
issue of whether Seller’s or Buyer’s submitted Purchase Price Reduction Amount
is the closest to the total cost reasonably estimated by the arbitrators to
repair or restore the damaged portion of the Improvements to the condition
existing prior to the applicable casualty. 
Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within ten (10) days after
the Outside Agreement Date.

 

(ii)           The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within five (5) business
days after the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree
upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same
criteria as set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators,
except that the third arbitrator shall not have been previously engaged by
Seller or Buyer for any purpose.

 

(iii)          The three (3) arbitrators shall conduct a hearing within ten (10) business
days after the appointment of the third arbitrator and within ten (10) business
days thereafter reach a decision as to which of the Seller’s or Buyer’s
submitted Purchase Price Reduction Amount is closest to the total cost
reasonably estimated by the arbitrators to repair or restore the damaged
portion of the Improvements to the condition existing prior to the applicable
casualty, and the arbitrators shall use whichever of Seller’s or Buyer’s
submitted Purchase Price Reduction Amount is closest thereto and shall notify
Seller and Buyer thereof.

 

(iv)          The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be
binding upon Seller and Buyer.

 

23

 

(v)           If either Seller or Buyer fails to appoint an arbitrator within ten (10) business
days after the Outside Agreement Date, the arbitrator appointed by one of them
shall reach a decision, notify Seller and Buyer thereof, and such arbitrator’s
decision shall be binding upon Seller and Buyer.

 

(vi)          If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third
arbitrator within the time period provided above in clause (ii), then the
parties shall mutually select the third arbitrator.  If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree upon
the third arbitrator within five (5) business days, then either party may,
upon at least five (5) days’ prior written notice to the other party,
request the Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, acting in
his private and nonjudicial capacity, to appoint the third arbitrator (who
shall meet the criteria set forth above in clause (i)).  Following the appointment of the third
arbitrator, the panel of arbitrators shall perform in accordance with the
provisions set forth above in clause (iii).

 

(vii)         The cost of the arbitrators and the arbitration proceeding shall be
paid by Seller and Buyer equally, except that each party shall pay for the cost
of its own witnesses and attorneys.

 

(e)           If, prior to the Close
of Escrow, any part of the Available Personal Property is damaged or destroyed
by earthquake, flood, landslide, fire or other casualty, Seller will promptly
inform Buyer of such fact in writing and advise Buyer as to the extent of
damage to the Available Personal Property and
the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the lesser of (i) the replacement
value of the damaged Available Personal Property, or (ii) One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00).  Seller
and Buyer shall use their best good-faith efforts to agree upon the replacement
value of the damaged Available Personal Property.

 

(f)            Whether or not the sale of the Property is
consummated hereunder, all rights to insurance claims or proceeds in respect of
damage or destruction to the Improvements occurring prior to the Close of
Escrow will belong to Seller.

 

(g)           If, prior
to the Close of Escrow, any part of the Improvements or Available Personal
Property is damaged or destroyed by earthquake, flood, landslide, fire or other
casualty and this Agreement is not terminated pursuant to the provisions
hereinabove, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Closing
Date shall be the later of the following dates: 
(i) the date that would have otherwise been the Closing Date had no
casualty occurred; or (ii) the date which is five (5) business days
after the date on which amount by which the Purchase Price shall be reduced
pursuant to the provisions set forth above in this Section 17 is finally
determined in accordance with such provisions.

 

18.           Available Personal
Property.  Seller represents and
warrants to Buyer that Exhibit G
attached hereto sets forth all of all of the equipment, furniture, fixtures and
other personal property owned by Seller and located on the Real Property as of
the Effective Date (the “Available Personal
Property”), except that Available Personal Property does not include
Seller’s proprietary equipment and other personal property.  Buyer shall have the right to notify Seller
in writing, not later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date,
as to which Available Personal Property (if any) that Buyer desires Seller to
remove from the Property (the “Buyer Excluded Property”).  Upon the expiration or termination of the
Lease, Seller shall remove the Buyer Excluded Property

 

24

 

within the time
period set forth in the Lease.  Seller
shall duly execute and deliver to Buyer a bill of Sale (“Bill of Sale”)
in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit D,
pursuant to which Seller conveys the Personal Property to Buyer.  The obligations set forth in this Section 18
shall survive the Close of Escrow.

designees will have the right, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice

In addition, prior
to any entry involving physical or invasive testing, drilling or other
disturbance, Buyer will obtain, maintain and provide Seller, or shall cause any
consultant, contractor or other person entering the Property to obtain,
maintain and provide Seller, with proof of comprehensive general liability
insurance in the amount of at least $1,000,000.00 combined, single limit

24.           Legal and Equitable
Enforcement of this Agreement:

 

24.1  Default by Seller.  In the event the Close of Escrow and the
consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement do not occur by
reason of default by Seller (provided Buyer gave Seller written notice of same
and Seller failed to cure such default within five (5) days after Buyer’s
notice), Buyer as its sole remedy will be entitled to either (i) the
return of its Deposit and any interest accrued thereon (less the Independent
Consideration) and Seller’s reimbursement to Buyer of Buyer’s reasonable,
documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the transaction;
provided, however, that such out-of-pocket expenses shall not exceed five percent
(5%) of the Purchase Price; or (ii) pursue an action for the specific
performance of this Agreement, but only if Buyer files such specific
performance action within thirty (30) days after the scheduled Closing Date and Buyer diligently prosecutes such action
to completion.  Buyer shall not be
entitled to record or file a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of
action or similar notice against any portion of the Property other than in
connection and concurrently with the filing of such specific performance
action.  The provisions of this Section 24.1
shall not be deemed to waive or limit Buyer’s rights and remedies for Seller’s
failure to perform its obligations which, by the express terms of this
Agreement, survive the Close of Escrow.

 

28

 

24.2  Default
by Buyer.  IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING
AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTION HEREIN CONTEMPLATED DOES NOT OCCUR AS
HEREIN PROVIDED BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OF BUYER, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT
IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES
SUFFERED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF
THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION (I.E., THE DEPOSIT IN THE AMOUNT OF $500,000 PLUS ANY ACCRUED INTEREST THEREON)
REPRESENT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL INCUR AS A
RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE AND SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE
REMEDY AS A RESULT OF ANY DEFAULT OF BUYER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER THAT THIS
PROVISION WILL NOT LIMIT SELLER’S RIGHTS UNDER SECTION 26.6, NOR WAIVE OR
AFFECT BUYER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS AND SELLER’S RIGHTS TO THOSE INDEMNITY
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, NOR WAIVE OR AFFECT SELLER’S RIGHT TO
SPECIFICALLY ENFORCE (WITHOUT DAMAGES) BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS TO RETURN OR PROVIDE
TO SELLER DOCUMENTS, REPORTS OR OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED TO OR PREPARED BY OR
FOR BUYER PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.  THEREFORE, BUYER AND SELLER DO HEREBY AGREE
THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER
IN THE EVENT THAT BUYER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE
PROPERTY IS AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT (I.E., $500,000 PLUS
ANY ACCRUED INTEREST THEREON).  SAID
AMOUNT WILL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH OF THIS
AGREEMENT BY BUYER.  THE PAYMENT OF SUCH
AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN
THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO
CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE
SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA
CIVIL CODE SECTION 3389.  UPON DEFAULT BY
BUYER, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE TERMINATED AND, EXCEPT FOR BUYER’S INDEMNITY AND
OTHER SPECIFIC OBLIGATIONS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE WHICH MAY BE ENFORCED BY
SELLER (IN ADDITION TO COLLECTION AND RETENTION BY SELLER OF BUYER’S DEPOSIT AS
PROVIDED HEREUNDER), NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS
HEREUNDER, EACH TO THE OTHER EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT OF SELLER TO COLLECT SUCH
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FROM BUYER AND ESCROW HOLDER.

respective affiliates has at all applicable times been, is now and will in the
future be, in compliance with the Order and no action, proceeding,
investigation, charge, claim, report or notice has been filed, commenced or
threatened against any of them alleging any failure to so comply.  Neither Seller nor any of its respective
agents, subsidiaries or other affiliates has knowledge or notice of any fact,
event, circumstance, situation or condition which could reasonably be expected
to result in (i) any action, proceeding, investigation, charge, claim,
report or notice being filed, commenced or threatened against any of them
alleging any failure to comply with the Order, or (ii) the imposition of
any civil or criminal penalty against any of them for any failure to so

26.16  Not an
Offer; Last Date for Submission. 
Seller’s delivery of unsigned copies of this Agreement is solely for the
purpose of review by the party to whom delivered, and neither the delivery nor
any prior communications between the parties, whether oral or written, will in
any way be construed as an offer by Seller, nor in any way imply that Seller is
under any obligation to enter the transaction which is the subject of this
Agreement.  The signing of this Agreement
by Buyer constitutes an offer which will not be deemed accepted by Seller
unless and until Seller has signed this Agreement and delivered a duplicate
original to Buyer.

 

26.17  Dispute
Resolution.

 

(a)           Mediation.  The parties agree to mediate any dispute or
claim arising between them out of this agreement, or any resulting transaction,
before resorting to arbitration or court action.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the provisions set forth below in Section 26.17(b)(ii) shall
apply to mediation.  Mediation fees, if
any, shall be divided equally among the parties involved.  If for any dispute or claim to which this paragraph
applies, any party commences an action without first attempting to resolve the
matter through mediation or refuses to mediate after a request has been made,
then that party shall not be entitled to recover attorney fees, even if they
would otherwise be available to that party in any such action.

 

(b)           Arbitration.

 

(i)            Seller and Buyer
agree that any dispute or claim in law or equity arising between them out of
this Agreement or any resulting transaction, which is not settled

 

32

 

through mediation, shall be decided by neutral,
binding arbitration, subject to subsection (ii) below.  The arbitrator shall be a retired judge or an
attorney with significant commercial real estate transactional experience, unless
the parties mutually agree to a different arbitrator, who shall render an award
in accordance with substantive California law. 
The parties shall have the right to discovery in accordance with
California Code of Civil Procedure § 1283.05.  In all other respects, the arbitration shall
be conducted in accordance with Title 9 of Part III of the California Code
of Civil Procedure.  Judgment upon the
award of the arbitrator(s) may be entered into any court having
jurisdiction.  Interpretation of this
agreement to arbitrate shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

 

(ii)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the following matters are excluded
from mediation and arbitration:  (a) an
unlawful detainer action; and (b) any matter that is within the
jurisdiction of a probate, small claims or bankruptcy court.  In addition, without limitation of the
foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
filing of a court action to enable the recording of a notice of pending action,
for order of attachment, receivership, injunction or other provisional
remedies, shall not constitute a waiver of the mediation and/or arbitration
provisions set forth in this Section 26.17.

Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the
Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained
herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.

Records of Los Angeles County, California.

 

II.            Term. 
As used in this Lease, the phrase “Lease Term” shall mean the period commencing
on the Lease Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date, unless this
Lease is sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

RENT

 

I.              Base
Rent.  Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant covenants and
agrees to pay, without notice or demand, “Base Rent” to Landlord in an amount
equal to Two and 25/100 Dollars ($2.25) per square foot of the Demised Premises
per month, payable in equal consecutive monthly installments of One Hundred
Thirty-Three Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy-Eight and 25/100 Dollars ($133,778.25)
each, in advance on the first day of each and every month during the Lease
Term.  In the event the first and/or last
calendar month of the Lease Term is a partial month, the Base Rent payable for
that month shall be prorated on the basis of the actual number of days
contained in that applicable month.  The
Base Rent for the first (1st) full month of the Lease Term shall be paid by
Tenant to Landlord on the Lease Commencement Date.

 

II.            Additional
Rent.  This Lease is a full service gross lease, and Tenant shall
therefore have no obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating
Expenses, except as set forth in Section I below.

 

III.           Landlord
Expenditures.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all expenditures
and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made or
incurred by Landlord in curing any default by Tenant, as permitted by this
Lease, such amounts to become due upon the making of any such expenditures by
Landlord, and Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all amounts as and when due it
as reimbursements or indemnities pursuant to any Sections of this Lease.

 

IV.           Utilities. 
Landlord shall procure from all appropriate utility providers all utility
services currently available to the Demised Premises as necessary for the
operation of the Demised Premises in the same condition as existing on the
Lease Commencement Date.

 

V.            Rental;
Late Charge.  The Base Rent and all
other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease
shall be collectively referred to in this Lease as “Rental.”  All Rental shall be paid as provided in this
Lease, without abatement, setoff or deduction, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein.  All Rental shall be
paid to Landlord in currency which at the time of payment is legal tender for
public and private debts in the United States of America, at Landlord’s address
or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time direct in
writing.  If any payment of Rental shall
not be received within five (5) days of Tenant’s receipt of written notice from
Landlord that such amounts are past due, then Tenant shall pay Landlord:  (i) a late charge of Five Cents ($.05) for
each overdue Dollar ($1.00) of Rental (i.e., 5% of the overdue amount); and
(ii) interest on the overdue amount at the Default 

 

4

 

Rate from the date due until paid.  Each such late charge and default interest
shall be deemed immediately due and payable. 
Landlord covenants and agrees, as a condition
precedent to Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to provide Tenant with a
complete, signed Form W-9 from Landlord contemporaneously with the
execution and delivery of this Lease.

 

VI.           Successor. 
In the event that Landlord’s interest in this Lease shall pass or devolve upon
another, or in the event that one other than Landlord shall become entitled to
collect the rent, then in any such event notice of the fact shall be given to
Tenant by Landlord; or, if Landlord is an individual and shall have died or
became incapacitated, by Landlord’s executors, administrators or legal
representatives, together with due proof of the status of such executors,
administrators or legal representatives, and until such notice and proof Tenant
may continue to pay rent to the one to whom the last preceding installment of
rent was paid and each such payment shall fully exonerate Tenant to the extent
of the obligation to pay the same.

 

FULL SERVICE GROSS LEASE

 

I.              Full
Service Gross Lease.  This Lease shall be deemed and construed to be a
“Full Service Gross Lease” and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this
Lease, under no circumstances or conditions, whether now existing or hereafter
arising, or whether beyond the present contemplation of the parties, shall
Tenant be expected or required to make any payments of any kind whatsoever or
perform or make any maintenance, repairs, replacements, renovations or
improvements to or in respect of the Demised Premises, whether ordinary or
extraordinary, or be under any other obligation or liability hereunder except
as herein otherwise expressly set forth. 
In no event shall the foregoing provision be deemed to waive any of
Tenant’s obligations expressly set forth in this Lease.

 

II.            No
Termination; No Abatement.  Unless otherwise specifically provided in
Sections I, 7.02 or I or in Articles 0 or 0, this Lease shall not terminate,
nor shall Tenant be entitled to the abatement of any rent hereunder or any
reduction thereof, nor shall the obligations of Tenant under this Lease be
otherwise affected, by reason of:  (i) any
damage to or the destruction of all or any part of the Demised Premises or
Property from whatever cause, or the Taking of the Demised Premises or Property
or any portions thereof, (ii) prohibition, limitation or restriction of
Tenant’s use of all or any part of the Demised Premises or Property, or the
interference with or prevention of such use by any person other than Landlord
or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, or (iii) any title
defect or encumbrance or any eviction by paramount title or otherwise unless
caused by Landlord or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord.

 

PAYMENT OF TAXES,
ASSESSMENTS, ETC.

(IMPOSITIONS)

 

I.              Impositions. 
Throughout the entire Lease Term, Landlord will pay, as and when due, all
Impositions which may be duly levied or assessed by Los Angeles County against
the 

 

5

 

Demised Premises; provided, however, nothing contained
in this Section 6.01 shall make Landlord responsible for Impositions that
are the responsibility of the Seller under the Purchase Agreement.

 

II.            Taxes
and Other Charges for Which Tenant Is Directly Responsible. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall pay, as
and when due, any and all taxes and/or assessments that are measured by or
reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture,
fixtures and other personal property located at the Property (specifically
excluding any Personal Property conveyed to Landlord pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement), and to the extent Landlord is required to pay any of the same in
connection with Landlord’s payment of the Impositions, then Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord therefor within ten (10) days after Landlord’s demand
therefor.

 

USE, MAINTENANCE,
ALTERATIONS, REPAIRS, ETC.

 

I.              Services
and Maintenance by Landlord.

 

A.            Landlord
shall be responsible for providing, repairing and maintaining the Property,
base building services (such as but not limited to fire life safety,
mechanical, electrical, utilities and all other common systems throughout the
Building), and the structure of the Property, Building, Parking Area, including
exterior and structural walls, foundations, roof (including “roof membranes”)
and required capital expenditures respecting the walls, foundations and roof
membranes (“Landlord’s Maintenance”); provided, however, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, in no event shall Landlord have any
repair, maintenance or other obligation with respect to the condition of the
Property as of the Lease Commencement Date (e.g., Landlord shall not be
obligated to fix anything that is broken as of the Lease Commencement Date) nor
shall Landlord have any obligation for any repairs, alterations or replacements
necessitated by the willful acts or negligence of Tenant, its agents or
employees for which costs Tenant shall be responsible.  Landlord’s Maintenance shall be at a standard
which is no less than the lesser of (i) the condition in which the
Building was maintained immediately prior to the Lease Commencement Date, or (ii) the
condition of other buildings similar to the Building located in Calabasas,
California (“Comparable Buildings”). 
Landlord shall not be required to furnish any services or facilities or
to make any repairs, replacements or alterations in or to the Demised Premises
throughout the Lease Term, except for those repairs, replacements or
alterations hereby provided for as Landlord’s Maintenance within this Section I
and for common area maintenance expenses, Tenant hereby assuming responsibility
for the condition, operation, repair, replacement, maintenance and management
of the Demised Premises, subject to the provisions of Articles 0 and 0 and
except for any such repairs, alterations or replacements necessitated by the
willful acts or negligence of Landlord, its agents or employees.

 

B.            Landlord
shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform
obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event
earlier than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to
the holder of any first mortgage 

 

6

 

or deed of trust covering the Demised Premises whose
name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing,
specifying that Landlord has failed to perform such obligation; provided,
however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than
thirty (30) days are required for performance then Landlord shall not be in
default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period
and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.  In the event Landlord fails to commence
performance within thirty (30) days after such written notice from Tenant
(except in the case of emergencies (i.e., the imminent threat of loss of life,
serious injuries to persons or material damage to property), then within one (1) business
day after written notice by Tenant to Landlord), Tenant shall have the right to
perform such work as may be necessary to cure such default upon delivery of an
additional five (5) business days’ notice to Landlord that Tenant is
performing such work.  If such repairs
and/or maintenance were required under the terms of this Lease to be performed
by Landlord and are not performed by Landlord prior to the expiration of such
5-business day period (the “Outside
Repair Period”), then Tenant shall be entitled to perform such work and
to reimbursement by Landlord of Tenant’s actual, reasonable, and documented
costs and expenses in performing such maintenance and/or repairs.  Such reimbursement shall be made within
thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of invoice of such costs and
expenses, and if Landlord fails to so reimburse Tenant within such 30-day
period, then Tenant shall be entitled to offset against the Rental payable by
Tenant under this Lease the amount of such invoice together with interest
thereon at the Default Rate, which shall have accrued on the amount of such
invoice during the period from and after Tenant’s delivery of such invoice to
Landlord through and including the earlier of the date Landlord delivers the
payment to Tenant or the date Tenant offsets such amount against the Rental;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if (i) Landlord
delivers to Tenant prior to the expiration of the Outside Repair Period
described above, a written objection to Tenant’s right to receive any such
reimbursement based upon Landlord’s good faith claim that such work did not
have to be performed by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or (ii) Landlord
delivers to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s invoice,
a written objection to the payment of such invoice based upon Landlord’s good
faith claim that such charges are excessive (in which case, Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant, within such 30-day period, the amount Landlord contends would
not be excessive), then Tenant shall not be entitled to such reimbursement or
offset against Rent, but Tenant, as its sole remedy, may proceed to institute
an arbitration proceeding through the American Arbitration Association to
determine and collect the amount, if any, of such reimbursement.  In the event Tenant prevails in such arbitration
and receives a monetary arbitration award against Landlord, then Landlord shall
pay such arbitration award to Tenant within thirty (30) days of date such
arbitration award is issued.  If such
arbitration award is not so paid, then, notwithstanding any contrary provision
of this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to offset against the Rental payable
under this Lease the amount of such monetary arbitration award together with
interest which shall have accrued on such monetary arbitration award during the
period from and after the day after the date such monetary arbitration award
was issued through and including the date that Tenant offsets against the
Rental the amount of such monetary arbitration award, at the Default Rate.  In the event Tenant undertakes such repairs
and/or maintenance and such work will affect the Building systems and
equipment, any structural portions of the Building, any Common Areas or other
areas outside the Building and/or the exterior appearance of the Building or
other exterior portions of the Property, Tenant shall use only those unrelated
third party contractors used by Landlord in the Building (provided such
contractor information has been provided to Tenant in 

 

7

 

writing prior to the default or within one (1) business
day of Tenant’s written request therefor) for such work unless such contractors
are unwilling or unable to perform such work at competitive prices, in which
event Tenant may utilize the services of any other qualified contractor which
normally and regularly performs similar work in Comparable Buildings.  Tenant shall comply with the other terms and
conditions of this Lease applicable to Alterations if Tenant takes the required
action, except that Tenant is not required to obtain Landlord’s consent for such
repairs.  Subject to the provisions of
this Section 7.01(b), Tenant hereby waives and releases its right to make
repairs at Landlord’s expense under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the
California Civil Code, or under any similar law, statute, or ordinance now or
hereafter in effect.

 

C.            Landlord
shall furnish to Tenant and maintain (i) water (hot and cold) at those
points of supply provided for general use of occupants of the Building; (ii) heating,
ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) sufficient for normal comfort for
normal office use of the Demised Premises per the standards of the lesser of (i) the
condition of the Building as of the Lease Commencement Date, or (ii) those
in Comparable Buildings, Monday through Friday from 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.,
and Saturday from 8:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. (“Business Hours”); (iii) janitorial
service to the Common Areas on Business Days, pursuant to the Building standard
cleaning specifications; (iv) elevator service, in common with other
tenants and occupants, to the floor on which the Demised Premises are located; (v) replacement
of Building-standard light bulbs and fluorescent tubes, provided that the cost
of such bulbs and tubes shall be paid by Tenant; and (vi) electric
current, and utilities for the Building as necessary for general office
use.  Landlord shall maintain the common
areas of the Building in good order and condition.  If Tenant desires any of the services
specified in this Section 7.1 at any time other than times herein
designated, such services shall be supplied to Tenant upon the written request
of Tenant delivered to Landlord on the business day preceding such extra usage,
subject to the provisions set forth below in subsection (d).

 

D.            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s
prior written consent, (i) use heat-generating machines, machines other
than normal fractional horsepower office machines, or equipment or lighting
other than currently existing in the Demised Premises, which may materially
affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system, or (ii) materially
increase the water normally furnished for the normal office use for the Demised
Premises by Landlord pursuant to the terms this Lease.  In addition, Tenant shall not use electricity
in the Demised Premises in excess of the capacity of the electricity feeders
and risers currently serving the Demised Premises.  If Tenant uses water materially in excess of
the quantities to be provided by Landlord for normal office use pursuant
subsection (c) above, or if Tenant’s consumption of electricity shall
exceed four (4) watts per usable square foot of the Demised Premises for
connected electrical load of 120/208 voltage power equipment and one (1) watt
per usable square foot of the Demised Premises for connected electrical load
for 277/480 voltage power equipment, calculated on an average annualized basis
for the Business Hours set forth above as reasonably determined by Landlord,
then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after billing, the
sum of (A) the actual cost of such excess consumption plus a ten percent
(10%) surcharge on such costs to cover Landlord’s administrative costs, plus (B) the
cost of the installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment which is installed
in order to supply such excess consumption. 
If Tenant uses HVAC in the Demised Premises during hours other than the
Business Hours, then the hourly 

 

8

 

after-hours HVAC charge to Tenant therefor shall be
equal to Thirty-Five Dollars ($35.00) per floor per hour.

 

II.            Abatement
Event.  In the event Tenant is
prevented from using, and does not use, the Demised Premises or any portion
thereof, as a result of any disruption, failure, lack or shortage of any
such service or utility listed herein due to any cause whatsoever (an “Abatement
Event”), then Tenant shall give
Landlord notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues
uninterrupted for five (5) consecutive business days after Tenant gives
any such notice as provided in this Section 7.02 (the “Eligibility
Period”), then Tenant shall be
entitled to an abatement of Base Rent after the expiration of the Eligibility
Period for such period that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Demised Premises or a
portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the
Demised Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears
to the total rentable area of the Demised Premises; provided, however, that if
Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, a portion of the Demised
Premises for a period of time in excess of the Eligibility Period and the
remaining portion of the Demised Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to
effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its
business from such remaining portion, then for such time after expiration of
the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively
conducting its business therein, the Base Rent for the entire Premises shall be
abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and
does not use, the Demised Premises.  Such
right to abate Base Rent shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or in
equity as a result of an Abatement Event. 
To the extent Tenant is entitled to abatement without regard to the
Eligibility Period because of an event described in Articles 10 or 11 below,
then the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable..

 

III.           Intentionally
deleted.

 

IV.           Use
of Demised Premises.

 

A.            During
the Lease Term, Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises shall be for a call
center, general office and administrative use or any other lawful use
consistent with Tenant’s business operations. 
Without limiting the provisions of this Section IV, or Sections 0,
or I, Tenant shall not use or occupy or permit the Demised Premises to be used
or occupied, nor do or permit anything to be done in or on the Demised
Premises, in whole or in part, in a manner which would in any way violate any
certificate of occupancy affecting the Demised Premises, or make void or
voidable any insurance then in force with respect thereto, or which may make it
impossible to obtain fire or other insurance thereon required to be furnished
by Tenant hereunder, or which may result in increases in insurance costs of
Landlord, or as will cause or be apt to cause structural injury to the
Improvements or any part thereof or adversely affect any Building systems or
equipment, or as will constitute a public or private nuisance, and shall not
use or occupy the Demised Premises in a manner which may violate any present or
future laws, regulations, ordinances or requirements of the Federal, State or
municipal governments, or of any departments, subdivision, bureaus or offices
thereof, or of any other governmental, public or quasi-public authorities now
existing or hereafter created, having jurisdiction in the Demised Premises;
provided, however, that Tenant may, in good faith (and wherever necessary in
the name of, but without expense to, the Landlord) contest the validity of any
such laws, regulations, ordinances or requirements and, pending the
determination of such contest, may postpone 

 

9

 

compliance therewith, except that the Tenant shall not
so postpone compliance therewith if such postponement will subject the Landlord
to any fine or penalty or to prosecution for a crime.  Tenant will indemnify, defend and save
harmless Landlord, in Landlord’s individual as well as Landlord’s
representative capacity, if any, against any recovery or loss to which Landlord
may be subject or which Landlord may sustain, including reasonable attorney
fees and expenses incurred by Landlord arising from any breach of this covenant
or by reason of any action or proceedings which may be brought against Landlord
or against the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, by virtue of any
violation by Tenant of such laws, regulations, ordinances or requirements, and
except that Tenant shall not indemnify Landlord against the negligence or
willful acts of Landlord, its agents and employees.

 

B.            Landlord
acknowledges that Tenant, for the benefit of itself and its Affiliates,
reserves and maintains the exclusive right to the Banking Use within the
Building during the Lease Term.  For
purposes of this section, the term “Banking Use” is defined as conducting
retail or wholesale banking operations, which include, but are not limited to,
receiving deposits or making loans to the general public, whether done by a
state bank, national bank, savings and loan institution, credit union,
investment brokerage firm, mortgage company, or other entity and whether
accomplished by means of full service, express service or motorbank facilities.  Except as aforesaid, so long as Tenant or its
Affiliates lease any portion of the Demised Premises pursuant to this Lease,
Landlord shall not lease, sublease, license, grant occupancy rights to or
permit any portion of the Building be used for any Banking Use by any person or
entity other than Tenant and its Affiliates.

 

7.05         Continuous
Use.  Tenant shall not be required to occupy the Demised Premises or
conduct any business therein and neither failure to occupy or operate on the
Demised Premises, nor the abandonment of the Demised Premises by Tenant, shall
constitute an Event of Default or breach of this Lease by Tenant.

 

Signage. 
Tenant is permitted to maintain its existing signs on the Demised Premises,
including but not limited to, Tenant’s monument signs (if any) located on the
Building, provided that Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, (i) repair
and maintain the same in a condition consistent with signage at Comparable
Buildings, and (ii) remove such existing signs at the end of the Lease
Term and repair any and all damage caused by such removal.

 

I.              Use
of Parking Facilities.  Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date,
Tenant shall be entitled to use four (4) unreserved, undesignated spaces
per 1,000 square feet of the Demised Premises (the “Parking Spaces”), which
Parking Spaces shall be located in the Parking Area and available to Tenant’s
employees, customers, agents, contractors and other invitees on a first-come
basis.  The Parking Spaces shall be at no
additional cost or expense to Tenant. 
This Lease shall not create a bailment between the parties hereto.  Tenant’s use of the Parking Spaces shall be
subject to all applicable laws and any non-discriminatory rules and
regulations reasonably established from time to time by Landlord of which
Tenant is given written notice.

 

II.            Tenant’s
Duty of Repair and Replacement; Indemnification.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, it is the intention of the parties that
Landlord shall have no obligation respecting the maintenance, replacement,
rebuilding and repair of the non-structural interior elements of the Demised
Premises or to make any alterations or renewals of any nature, 

 

10

 

except for those maintenance responsibilities of Landlord
expressly set forth in Section I. 
To this end, Tenant shall take good care of the nonstructural portions
of the Demised Premises as now or as hereafter improved, make all repairs,
replacements, installations and renovations thereto, interior and exterior,
ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, and shall maintain and
keep the said Demised Premises, excluding the Common Areas, in good order and
appearance, and first class repair and condition, subject to the provisions of Section I
and Articles 0 and 0 and except that Tenant shall not be responsible for
repairs necessitated by the willful acts or negligence of Landlord, its
employees and agents.  Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless of and from any and all claims, demands,
liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees), upon or arising out of the failure of Tenant to perform the
covenants in this Section II. 
Tenant further shall keep the Demised Premises free and clear of any and
all mechanics’ liens or other similar liens or charges incidental to work done
or material supplied at the instance of Tenant in or about the Demised
Premises.

 

III.           Alterations. 
Tenant may not make any Alterations without first procuring the prior written
consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by
Tenant not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the commencement
thereof.  Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold or delay its consent for any Alterations (provided that an Event of
Default does not exist), except that Landlord may withhold its consent, in its
sole and absolute discretion, with respect to such Alterations which affect (i) the
moving of any walls or improvements which Landlord intends to use in their
currently existing configuration following the termination or expiration of
this Lease, (ii) affect the structural components of the Building, and/or (iii) Building
systems and equipment.  In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in the event Landlord
consents to any Alterations, Landlord may condition its consent upon the
requirement that Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, remove such
Alterations at the end of the Lease Term and repair any and all damage to the
Property caused by such removal.  Tenant
shall pay for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs and
expenses of the Alterations.  All
Alterations shall be subject, however, in all cases to the following:

 

A.            no
Alterations shall be undertaken until Tenant shall have procured and paid for,
so far as the same may be required from time to time, all permits and
authorizations of all municipal departments and governmental subdivisions
having jurisdiction;

 

B.            any
Alterations shall be made promptly (Unavoidable Delays excepted) and in a good
and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable permits and
authorizations and building and zoning laws and with all other laws,
ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all Federal, State
and municipal governments, departments, commissions, boards and officers, and
in accordance with the orders, rules and regulations of the Board of Fire
Underwriters or any other body or bodies hereafter exercising similar
functions;

 

C.            the
cost of any such Alterations shall be paid in strict accordance with the terms
of payment provided in the contracts and subcontracts made with mechanics and
materialmen for labor and materials supplied to the Demised Premises;

 

11

 

D.            Builders Risk Insurance and general
liability insurance for the mutual benefit of Landlord and Tenant with limits
of not less than $5,000,000 in the event of bodily injury or death to one
person and not less than $10,000,000 in the event of bodily injury or death to
any number of persons in any one accident, and with limits of not less than
$5,000,000 for damages or injury to property with not more than $25,000
deductible, shall be maintained by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense at
all times when any substantial work is in progress in connection with any
Alterations.  All policies or
certificates therefor issued by the respective insurers, bearing notations
evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other evidence
satisfactory to Landlord of such payment, shall be delivered to Landlord;

 

E.             Tenant shall utilize only
contractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen reasonably approved by
Landlord;

 

F.             the plans, specifications and
working drawings for any such Alterations shall be subject to Landlord’s
reasonable approval, but in no event shall Landlord’s approval thereof create
any responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness,
design sufficiency, or compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of
governmental agencies or authorities;

 

IV.           Waste.  Tenant will not
do, permit or suffer any waste, damages or injury to or upon the Demised
Premises or any part thereof.

 

V.            Compliance with Law. 
Except in respect of repairs or replacements which are the responsibility of
Landlord under Section I, Tenant shall comply with and obey the direction
of, at its own expense during the Lease Term, all present and future laws,
acts, rules, requirements, orders, directions, ordinances and/or regulations,
ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, concerning Tenant’s use of
the Demised Premises or any part thereof, of any federal, state, municipal or
other public department, bureau, officer or authority or any Board of Fire
Underwriters, or other body having similar functions, or of any liability, fire
or other insurance company having policies outstanding with respect to the
Demised Premises.  Tenant further shall
protect, hold harmless, defend and indemnify Landlord of and from all fines,
penalties, liabilities, costs, expenses (including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys’ fees), claim or claims for damages of every kind and
nature arising out of any failure to comply with any such laws, acts, rules,
requirements, orders, directions, ordinances and/or regulations described in
the preceding sentence.

 

VI.           Landlord Not Liable. 
Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord shall not be responsible
or liable for, and rent shall not abate by reason of, any damage or injury to
any property, fixtures, merchandise or decorations or to any person or persons
at any time on the Demised Premises or Property from fire, explosion, falling
plaster, broken glass, steam, gas or electricity or from water, rain or snow,
whether the same may leak into, issue or flow from any part of the Improvements
or from pipes, appliances or plumbing work of the same, or from the roof or
street or subsurface or any other place or quarter; nor shall Landlord be in
any way responsible or liable in case of any accident or injury including death
of or to any of Tenant’s servants, employees, agents, or to any person or
persons in or about the Demised Premises or Property or the streets, sidewalks
or vaults adjacent thereto, except to the extent caused by any willful act or
gross negligence of Landlord, its agents or employees; and Tenant agrees that
it 

 

12

 

will not hold Landlord in
any way responsible or liable therefor (including, without limitation, any
damage to Tenant’s business) and will further indemnify, defend and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, liability, penalties,
damages, expenses and judgments arising from any such injury or damage to
persons or property of any nature occurring during the term hereof, except that
Tenant will not indemnify, defend and save harmless Landlord from and against
any loss, damage or liability to the extent occasioned by any willful act or
negligence on the part of Landlord, its agents or employees.

 

VII.          Entry; Security Considerations. 
Tenant shall permit Landlord and its employees, agents and contractors to enter
the Demised Premises and all parts thereof (i) upon forty-eight (48)
hours prior notice (or without notice in an emergency if loss of life, injuries
to persons or damage to property is believed to be imminent), at all reasonable
times for any of the following purposes: to inspect the Demised Premises; to
maintain the Demised Premises; to make such repairs to the Demised Premises as
Landlord is obligated or may elect to make; to make repairs, alterations or
additions to any other portion of the Demised Premises.  The above mentioned rights of entry shall not
impose or imply any duty on the part of Landlord to make any such repairs or
perform any such work to the Demised Premises. 
With respect to any such entry which is not an emergency entry, Landlord
agrees not to unreasonably disturb Tenant’s use or enjoyment of the Demised
Premises, and to minimize disruption to Tenant as much as reasonably practical,
Landlord shall have such right of entry without any rebate of rent to Tenant
for any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Demised Premises hereby
occasioned.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall not be allowed access to any secured areas,
including, but not limited to, vaults or other areas where money or other
important documents are stored, without the presence of a representative of
Tenant.  Further, all access by Landlord
to the Demised Premises shall be in conformance with commercially reasonable
security policies and standards consistent with security procedures in effect
prior to the Lease Commencement Date.

 

VIII.        No Liens.  Notice is hereby
given that Landlord shall not be liable for any labor or materials furnished or
to be furnished to Tenant upon credit, and that no mechanic’s or other lien for
any such labor or materials shall attach to or affect the estate or interest of
Landlord in and to the Demised Premises. 
Whenever and as often as any such lien shall have been filed against the
Demised Premises based upon any action or interest of Tenant or any subtenant,
for or affecting any materials, machinery or fixtures used in the construction,
repair or operation thereof, or annexed thereto by Tenant or any subtenant,
Tenant shall forthwith take such action by bonding, deposit or payment as will
remove or satisfy the lien, which action shall be taken within fifteen (15)
Business Days from the date on which Tenant is first made aware of such lien.

 

IX.           Surrender.  Upon the
expiration or earlier termination (see Article 8)  of the Lease Term or on the sooner
termination thereof, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly leave, surrender and
yield up unto Landlord the Demised Premises in a broom clean condition and with
the Demised Premises in a condition at least equal to the condition existing on
the Lease Commencement Date (with any Alterations removed which Landlord has
required to be removed).  Upon any such
expiration of the term or earlier termination of the Lease, all leasehold
improvements within the Demised Premises, Alterations and other property then
located within the Demised Premises (other than Seller’s computers, CPUs,
laptops, servers, files and other personal property which contains customer
information) shall become the property of Landlord.  

 

13

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no computer servers, CPUs, laptops, files or other personal property
which contains customer information (collectively, the “Protected Items”) shall
become the property of or shall be disposed of by Landlord and Tenant shall
remove all such Protected Items by the end of the Lease Term, and if Tenant
fails to so remove such Protected Items, then Landlord may arrange for storage
of the same at Tenant’s sole cost and expense for a period not less than thirty
(30) days, only after first providing an additional written notice to Tenant
and five (5) additional business days, and access during Landlord’s normal
business hours, for Tenant to retrieve said items, it being acknowledged by
both Landlord and Tenant that such items may contain sensitive, confidential
and/or proprietary information which is the subject of federal regulations as
to ownership, possession, storage, disposal, removal or other handling.

 

X.            Landlord Lien Waiver.  Notwithstanding
anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord hereby specifically waives
and disclaims any and all rights to a landlord or other statutory or common law
lien upon the personal property of Tenant.

 

CONTRACTION/EARLY
TERMINATION RIGHTS

 

I.              Contraction Rights. 
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, so long as no material
Event of Default exists beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant
shall have the right, commencing on the day immediately after September 31,
2008, to reduce the Demised Premises (the “Contraction Rights”) in contiguous
full floor increments up to one hundred (100%) percent of the Demised Premises
(the “Termination Space”).  In no event
shall the Contraction Rights apply to less than an entire floor.  Tenant shall give Landlord not less than 15
days prior written notice of the exercise of its Contraction Rights, which
notice shall include a description of the Termination Space which Tenant
desires to surrender and the date on which Tenant shall vacate and surrender
such Termination Space (“Contraction Exercise Date”).  Upon such Contraction, Base Rent shall be
reduced in proportion to the square footage of the Termination Space.

 

II.            Holdover After Contraction
Exercise Date.  Should Tenant provide notice to Landlord of its intent
to vacate the Termination Space and subsequently fail to vacate the Termination
Space by the stated Contraction Exercise Date, Tenant shall be deemed a
holdover Tenant pursuant to Section I as to the Termination Space, and
shall be subject to any penalties and waivers specified in Section I as
they apply to the Termination Space.

 

III.           Early Termination Rights. 
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, so long as no material
Event of Default exists beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant
shall have the right, commencing on the day immediately after September 31,
2008, to terminate this Lease provided Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of
its intent to so terminate this Lease at least 15 days prior to the termination
date set forth in such notice (the “Early Termination Date”).  If Tenant exercises its right to so terminate
this Lease, this Lease and the Lease Term hereof shall end on the Early
Termination Date and Rental shall be apportioned and paid to the Early
Termination Date; provided, however, that those provisions of this Lease which
are designated to cover matters of termination and the period thereafter shall
survive the termination of this Lease.

I.              Coverage.  From and

$5,000,000 for property damage and may include provisions for deductibles or
self insured retentions not to exceed $250,000 per occurrence;

 

C.            workmen’s compensation insurance (or
a state plan giving comparable coverage) covering all persons employed in
connection with any work done on or about the Demised Premises in connection
with which claims for death or bodily injury could be asserted against Tenant;
and

 

D.            such other insurance as Landlord and
any mortgagee of the Demised Premises may from time to time reasonably request
to protect Landlord, Tenant and/or the Demised Premises and Property including
pollution legal liability coverage in such amounts and against such other
insurable hazards which at the time are commonly obtained in the case of
property similar to the Demised Premises and Property, and similarly located.

 

II.            Policies.  All insurance
provided for in subsection D of Section III hereof and subsections A, B
and D of Section I hereof, if readily obtainable, shall be effected under
standard form policies issued by insurers of recognized financial
responsibility, having a Best rating equal to the better of the rating required
by the holder of any Mortgage on the Demised Premises or of A:X or better,
authorized to do business in the State. 
Any policies of insurance, other than those described in subsection C of
Section I hereof, shall expressly provide that any losses thereunder shall
be adjusted and paid as provided in Article 0.  All such insurance shall be carried in the
name of Tenant and Landlord and the holder of any Mortgage on the Demised
Premises shall be named as additional insureds (except with respect to the
policies described in subsection C of Section I hereof, for which only
Tenant shall be the named insured), as their respective interests may appear,
and the proceeds thereof shall be held and disbursed in accordance with the
provisions of Article 0 of this Lease.

 

15

 

III.           Renewals.  Upon the
execution and delivery of this Lease and thereafter not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration dates of the expiring policies theretofore
furnished pursuant to this Article, certified copies of all policies required
hereunder, bearing notations evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by
other evidence satisfactory to Landlord of such payment, shall be delivered by
Tenant to Landlord.

 

IV.           No Separate Insurance. 
Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall take out separate insurance concurrent in
form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in this Article to
be furnished by, or which may reasonably be required to be furnished by, Tenant
unless Landlord or Tenant, respectively, and the holder of any mortgage on the
Demised Premises, is included therein as an insured, with loss payable as in
this Lease provided.  Each party shall
immediately notify the other of the taking out of any such separate insurance
and shall deliver certified copies therefor as provided in Section III
hereof.

 

V.            Notifications to Landlord. 
Each policy delivered hereunder shall contain an agreement by the insurer that
such policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice to Landlord and to any mortgagee named or required to be named
in such policy.

 

VI.           INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

 

VII.          Blanket Policies.  Any
insurance required to be maintained by Tenant may be taken out under a blanket
insurance policy or policies covering other premises, properties or insured in
addition to the Demised Premises; provided, however, that any such policy of
blanket insurance either shall specify therein, or Tenant shall furnish
Landlord with a written statement from the insurer under such policy so
specifying, the amount of the total insurance allocated to the Demised
Premises, i.e. a so-called “agreed amount endorsement”.

 

VIII.        Tenant Trade Fixtures.  If
Tenant procures and maintains insurance upon its signs, trade fixtures and
other similar equipment, Tenant shall be the sole owner of such insurance and
shall recover and retain the proceeds of such insurance in the event of any
loss covered by such insurance; provided, however, Landlord shall be the sole
owner of any insurance proceeds applicable to loss of “Personal Property,” as
such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement and which are subject to the
Bill of Sale thereto.

 

IX.           Failure to Maintain Insurance. 
Should Tenant fail to effect, maintain or renew any insurance provided for in
this Article 0, or to pay the premium therefor, or to deliver to Landlord
any of such policies or certificates, then and in any of said events Landlord,
at its option, but without obligation so to do, may with reasonable prior
written notice to Tenant procure such insurance, and any sums expended by it to
procure any such insurance shall be Rental hereunder and shall be repaid by
Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of bills therefor from Landlord.

 

X.            Indemnity.  Without
limitation of any other obligations of Tenant set forth elsewhere in this
Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Landlord
and its directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Landlord
Parties”) from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability
(collectively, “Claims”), including,without 

 

16

 

limitation court costs
and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with or arising from the
following:  (i) any cause in, on or
about the Demised Premises or Property during the Lease Term (including,
without limitation, Tenant’s installation, placement and removal of
Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the
Demised Premises); (ii) any breach by Tenant of its obligations under this
Lease; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be required to indemnify the
Landlord Parties for any Claims to the extent arising from the negligence or
willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties; and (iii) any acts, omissions
or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant,
or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, licensees or invitees of
Tenant or any such person, in, on or about the Property on or after the Lease
Commencement Date, except to the extent resulting from the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord Parties for which Landlord shall
indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless the Tenant and its directors,
officers, employees, and agents from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense
and liability, including without limitations, court costs and reasonable attorneys’
fees.  The provisions of this Section 9.10
and all other indemnity obligations set forth in this Lease shall survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

 

XI.                                Self
Insurance.  So long as Tenant has fully and timely performed its
obligations under this Lease, and has a tangible net worth (determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) of not less than One
Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000), Tenant may satisfy all or any part of
its obligations to provide insurance under this Lease by way of Self-Insurance
(as defined below) provided and upon the condition that Tenant provides written
notice of same to Landlord of its election to provide Self-Insurance prior to
implementing the same and compliance by Tenant with each of the following
provisions:

 

1.                                       For
purposes hereof, “Self-Insurance” means that Tenant is acting as though it were
the insurance company providing the insurance required under the provisions of
this Article and Tenant shall pay any and all amounts due in lieu of
insurance proceeds as required under the provisions of this Lease, which
amounts shall be treated as insurance proceeds for all purposes under this
Lease; and

 

2.                                       All
amounts which Tenant pays or is required to pay and all losses or damages resulting
from risks for which Tenant has elected to cover by Self-Insurance shall be
subject to the waiver of subrogation provisions set forth in this Lease and
shall not limit Tenant’s or Landlord’s indemnification obligations set forth in
this Lease; and

 

3.                                       If
Tenant elects to cover any risk by Self-Insurance, and an event or claim occurs
which a defense and/or coverage would have been available from the insurance
carrier had Tenant not elected to cover such risk with Self-Insurance, Tenant,
using the auspices of a recognized independent insurance adjuster, shall:

 

a)                                      undertake
the defense of any such claim, including, without limitation, a defense of
Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; and

 

17

 

b)                                     use
of Tenant’s own funds to pay any claim or replace, reconstruct and/ or fully
repair any property (including the Tenant Improvements) or otherwise provide
the funding which would have been available from insurance proceeds but for
such election by Tenant to cover such risk with Self-Insurance; and

 

4.                                       In
no event shall Landlord be entitled to less coverage or benefits than Landlord
would have been entitled to had Tenant obtained the insurance required under
this Lease from a third party insurance carrier; and

 

5.                                       Tenant
shall respond promptly to all inquiries from Landlord with respect to any claim
or loss, shall keep Landlord fully informed of the status of all claims and
losses, shall work cooperatively with Landlord in addressing all such claims
and losses, and shall have the same duty to act in good faith towards the
Landlord as an insurer would have under the laws and regulations of the state
in which the Demised Premises is located.

 

DAMAGE
OR DESTRUCTION

 

I.                                         Damage;
Insurance Proceeds.  If during the Lease Term, the Improvements shall
be destroyed or substantially damaged (substantial damage being defined as
damage of thirty five percent (35%) or more of the full insurable value of any
of the buildings comprising the Demised Premises exclusive of brick, concrete
or stone foundations below grade), then and in such event, Landlord or Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to the other not
later than thirty (30) days after the happening of such destruction or damage
(the “Termination Notice”), in which event all rent shall be apportioned to the
date of damage or destruction and Tenant shall be relieved of any obligation of
repair or restoration, but the entire proceeds of any such insurance shall be
paid over to Landlord and not to Tenant. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, in no event
shall Landlord have any obligation to repair any material portion of the
Property damaged by fire or other casualty during the Lease Term.

 

II.                                     No
Abatement.  Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement,
allowance, reduction or suspension of rent if part or all of the Demised
Premises shall be untenantable owing to the partial or total destruction
thereof.

 

III.                                 Waiver
of Statutory Provisions.  The provisions of this Lease, including this
Article 10, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant
with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of
the Property, and any statute or regulation of the State, including, without
limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil
Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or
destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any
other statute or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, shall have no
application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of
the Property.

 

18

of the whole or substantially all of the Demised Premises, this Lease shall
terminate and expire on the date of such Taking and the Rental and other
charges payable hereunder shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such
Taking.

 

II.                                     Forty
Percent or More Taking.  If, at any time during the Lease Term there

vested in the appropriating authority) to terminate this Lease, and in the
event of such election by either party, this Lease shall terminate and expire
on the date of such Taking, and the Rental and other charges payable hereunder
shall be apportioned and paid to the date of Taking.

 

III.                                 Award
Payable to Landlord.  In the event of a Taking described in Section I
or Section II where either party shall elect to terminate this Lease,
Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award or awards made in connection
with such Taking.

 

IV.                                 No
Termination.  In the event of a Taking of any of the Building where
Tenant or Landlord do not elect or do not have the right to elect to terminate
this Lease, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the net
annual base rent required by Section I hereof shall be abated in the ratio
of the number of square feet of the portion of the Demised Premises so taken
bears to the total number of square feet of the Demised Premises existing
immediately prior to the Taking.

 

V.                                     No
Restoration Obligation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Lease, in no event shall either party have any obligation to repair or
restore the Demised Premises or Property, and to extent the remaining portion
of the Demised Premises existing after the Taking is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business
therein or cannot be legally occupied by Tenant, this Lease shall
terminate and expire on the date of such Taking and the Rental and other
charges payable hereunder shall be apportioned and paid to the date of such
Taking.

Taking.  If, at any time during the Lease Term there shall be a
Temporary Taking, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without abatement
of rent and the award or awards made in connection with such Temporary Taking
shall be the sole property of Tenant, unless the period of occupancy by the
condemning authority extends beyond the Lease Term in which case the award
shall be equitably apportioned between Landlord and Tenant.

 

19

 

ASSIGNMENT,
SUBLETTING, ETC.

 

I.              Assignment and Subletting.

 

A.            Landlord and Tenant hereby
acknowledge and agree that Tenant is leasing the Demised Premises for temporary
purposes only as a short-term lease back following Landlord’s acquisition of
the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  Accordingly, except as otherwise provided
below in Section 12.01(b), Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that it
shall not have any right to assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or
permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest
hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Lease
or any interest hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Demised Premises or
any part thereof, or permit the use of the Demised Premises by any persons
other than Tenant and its Affiliates.

 

B.            Notwithstanding Section 12.01(a) above
to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right, without the Landlord’s prior
written consent, at any time during the Lease Term, to assign Tenant’s entire
interest under this Lease or sublease all or a portion of the Demised Premises
to an Affiliate (hereinafter, a “Permitted Transfer”), provided that (a) the
Affiliate is a bona fide entity engaged in a business substantially similar to
Tenant, (b) the Affiliate shall assume the obligations of Tenant under
this Lease by signing a commercially reasonable assumption agreement (provided,
however, in no event shall such assumption relieve Tenant from liability under
this Lease), (c) such assignment or sublease shall not be a subterfuge by
Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, and (d) Tenant shall
give Landlord not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of
any such assignment or sublease to an Affiliate.

 

II.            No Release of Tenant. 
No Permitted Transfer shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligation or alter the
primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rental and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder.  The acceptance of Rental by Landlord from any
person other than Tenant shall not be deemed Landlord’s consent to any
assignment to or subletting by such other person.  In the event of default by the Affiliate
subject to a Permitted Transfer in the performance of any of the terms hereof,
Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of
exhausting remedies against said Affiliate.

 

III.           Documents Required for Permitted
Transfer.  Tenant’s written request to Landlord regarding a Permitted
Transfer (the “Permitted Transfer Notice”) shall be accompanied by (a) the
name and legal composition of the applicable Affiliate; (b) the nature of
said Affiliate’s business to be carried on in the Demised Premises; and (c) the
terms and provisions of the applicable Permitted Transfer which shall include
an express assumption of the terms of this Lease by the applicable Affiliate.

SUBORDINATION
OF LEASE; NON-DISTURBANCE

 

I.              Subordination; Non-Disturbance. 
This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future Mortgages, now
or hereafter in force against the Demised Premises and/or Property and to all
advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such Mortgages,
unless the holders of such Mortgages require in writing that this Lease be
superior thereto.  The terms of this Section shall
be self-operating and no further instrument of subordination shall be required
in order to effect such subordination. 
Tenant shall, within fourteen (14) days after request by Landlord,
execute such further instruments or assurances as Landlord may reasonably deem
necessary or as otherwise requested by the holder of any Mortgage to evidence
or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such
Mortgages.  Tenant agrees to attorn to
any mortgagee or purchaser in a foreclosure sale and to recognize such
mortgagee or purchaser as the lessor under this Lease.

 

II.            Subordination of Mortgage. 
Any mortgagee of all or any part of the Demised Premises may at any time elect
to cause this Lease to have priority over its Mortgage, by executing
unilaterally an instrument subordinating its Mortgage to this Lease, or placing
a clause of such subordination in its Mortgage and recording the same or in any
pleadings filed by such mortgagee, in which event this Lease shall have
priority over said Mortgage.

 

DEFAULT
PROVISIONS

 

I.              Default; Remedies. 
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an “Event
of Default” and breach of this Lease by Tenant:

 

A.            The failure by Tenant to make any
payment of Rental or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder,
as and when due, if such failure continues for a period of five (5) business
days after Tenant receives written notice from Landlord to Tenant of the
failure to make such payment, provided that any such notice delivered by
Landlord shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar successor
law.

 

B.            The failure by Tenant to observe or
perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be
observed or performed by Tenant, other than described in paragraph (a) above,
if such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof from Landlord to Tenant (or such longer time as may be reasonably
necessary to cure so long as Tenant shall have commenced to cure the same
within said thirty (30) days and diligently prosecutes the same to completion,
provided that any such notice delivered by Landlord shall be in lieu of, and
not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1161 or any similar successor law.

 

C.            (i) The making by Tenant of any
general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the
filing by Tenant of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy under Title 

 

21

take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Demised
Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease; or (iv) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets

any of the foregoing Events of Default, Landlord shall be entitled, at its
election, to exercise concurrently or successively, any one or more of the
following rights and remedies, without any additional notice or demand
whatsoever:

 

1.             Without waiving such default and
without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, to pay
any sum required to be paid by Tenant and which Tenant has failed to pay and to
perform any obligation required to be performed by Tenant (and Landlord may enter
the Demised Premises for such purposes) for the account of Tenant, and any
amount so paid by Landlord shall bear interest thereon equal to the Default
Rate.  Any amount or amounts paid by
Landlord for the account of Tenant for the performance of any obligations
required to be performed by Tenant shall be treated as Rental due hereunder and
Landlord may exercise concurrently or successively any one or more of the
rights and remedies contained in this Lease for the enforcement of the payment
of Rental, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease.

 

2.             To enjoin any breach by Tenant of
the covenants hereof.

 

3.             To bring suit for the collection of

attorney fees, all without entering into possession or terminating this Lease.

 

4.             To reenter the Demised Premises,
and take possession thereof, without thereby terminating this Lease, and
thereupon, to expel all persons and remove all property therefrom, and relet
the Demised Premises making reasonable efforts therefor, for such periods and upon
such terms according to Landlord’s sole discretion, and receive the rent
therefrom, applying the same first to the payment of the reasonable expenses of
such reentry and the cost of such reletting, including but not limited to the
expense of such decorations, alterations and remodeling as shall be incident to
such reletting, then to costs and, to the extent permitted by law, reasonable
attorney fees, and then to the payment of the Rental and other sums accruing
hereunder, and Tenant, whether or not the Demised Premises are relet, shall
remain liable for any deficiency, which deficiency shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord, periodically, upon the successive days upon which the Rental
hereunder is payable.

 

It is agreed that the
commencement and prosecution of any action by Landlord in forcible entry and
detainer, ejectment or otherwise, or the appointment of a receiver, or any
execution of any decree obtained in any action to recover possession of the
Demised Premises, or any reentry, shall not be construed as an election to
terminate this Lease unless Landlord shall, in writing, expressly exercise its
election to declare the term hereunder ended and to terminate this Lease, and
such reentry or entry by Landlord, whether taken under summary proceedings, or
otherwise, 

 

22

 

shall not be deemed to
have absolved or discharged Tenant from any of its obligations and liabilities
for the remainder of the Lease Term.

 

1.             To terminate this Lease, in which
event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord, and
if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy
which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take
possession of the Demised Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other
person who may be occupying the Demised Premises or any part thereof, without
being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may
recover from Tenant the following:

 

a)                                      The
worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time
of such termination; plus

 

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

 

c)                                      The
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

 

d)                                     Any
other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately
caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which
in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom,
specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and
advertising expenses incurred, and expenses of remodeling the Demised Premises
or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different
use and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and

 

e)                                      At
Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the
foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

 

The term “rent” as
used in this subsection (v) shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of
every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease,
whether to Landlord or to others.  As
used above in clauses (A) and (B), the “worth at the time of award” shall
be computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate.  As used above in clause (C), the “worth at
the time of award” shall 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 (1%).

 

All rights and
remedies granted Landlord herein and any other rights or remedies which
Landlord may have at law or in equity are hereby declared to be cumulative and
not exclusive, 

 

23

 

and the fact
that Landlord may have exercised any remedy without terminating this Lease
shall not impair Landlord’s rights thereafter to terminate or to exercise any
other remedy herein granted or to which it otherwise may be entitled.

 

I.              No Waiver.  No waiver
of any covenant or condition or the breach of any covenant or condition of this
Lease shall be taken to constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of such
covenant or condition, nor to justify or authorize the non-observance on any
other occasion of the same, or any other covenant or condition hereof, nor
shall any waiver or indulgence granted by Landlord or Tenant be taken as an
estoppel against Landlord or Tenant, as applicable.  The failure of Landlord to insist at any time
upon the strict performance of any of the covenants or agreements or to
exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease shall not
be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future.

 

II.            Cure by Landlord.  If an
Event of Default occurs, Landlord may, upon an additional five (5) business
day written notice to Tenant, at its option, in addition to any other remedy
specified herein, without waiving any claim for damages for breach of
agreement, at any time thereafter cure such default for the account of Tenant and
any amount paid or any contractual liability incurred by Landlord in so doing
shall be deemed paid or incurred for the account of Tenant and Tenant agrees to
reimburse promptly Landlord therefor (together with Default Interest until
paid) and save Landlord harmless therefrom.

 

III.           Sublessees of Tenant.  If
Landlord elects to terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant as
set forth in this Article 14, Landlord shall have the right to terminate
any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements
for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Demised Premises or
may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, succeed to Tenant’s interest in such
subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements.  In the event of Landlord’s election to
succeed to Tenant’s interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or
arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such
election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other
consideration receivable thereunder.

 

IV.           Consent.  If any action
by either party shall require the consent to or approval of such action on any
one occasion, the same shall not be deemed a consent to or approval of said
action on any subsequent occasion or a consent to or approval of any other
action on the same or any subsequent occasion.

 

V.            Landlord Default.  If
Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations provided in this Lease within
thirty (30) days written notice (or
five (5) days written notice if such failure causes the premises to be
untenable, unsafe or unhealthful for its occupants)  then Landlord shall be deemed in default, and
thereafter Tenant shall be allowed all remedies at law or as provided under
this Lease, including but not limited to, lease termination, rental abatement or offset, and/or to
perform on Landlord’s behalf and at Landlord’s cost.

 

BROKERAGE
FEES AND COMMISSIONS

 

Landlord and
Tenant each represent and warrant that no real estate broker or agent except 

 

24

indemnify and hold each other, its agents, employees, partners, directors,
shareholders and independent contractors harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, costs, demands, judgments, settlements, claims, and losses,
including reasonable attorneys fees and costs, incurred by Landlord or Tenant
in connection with a breach of the foregoing representation.  Landlord covenants and agrees that it shall
be solely responsible for the payment of any leasing commissions which may
become due to Landlord’s Broker in connection with this Lease.  Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall be
solely responsible for the payment of any leasing commissions which may become
due to Tenant’s Broker in connection with this Lease.  The provisions of this Article 15 shall
survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

III.           Landlord’s Rights. 
Without limiting the generality of Landlord’s other rights under this Lease,
Landlord and any other person or entity designated by Landlord, including but
not limited to any representative of a governmental entity, and any

Demised Premises at all reasonable times to assess any and all aspects of the
environmental condition of the Demised Premises and its use, including but not
limited to conducting any environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which
shall be determined in Landlord’s sole discretion) and taking samples of soil,
groundwater or other water, air, or building materials, and conducting other
invasive testing.  Tenant shall
reasonably cooperate with and provide access to Landlord and the holder of any
Mortgage on the Demised Premises and any such person or entity designated by
Landlord or such holder.

 

IV.           Tenant’s Indemnification.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

I.              Holding Over.  If
Tenant shall remain in possession of all or any part of the Demised Premises
after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, then Tenant
shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance only, at a rental rate equal to one
hundred fifty percent (150%) per month of the initial Base Rent referenced in Section 4.01
above, and subject to all of the other terms and provisions hereof, except only
as to the Lease Term.  The provisions of
this Section 22.01 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of
any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law.

 

II.            No Merger.  There shall
be no merger of this Lease or of the leasehold estate hereby created with the
fee estate in the Demised Premises or any part thereof by reason of the fact
that the same person may acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, this Lease or
the leasehold estate and the fee estate in the Demised Premises or any part
thereof or any interest in such fee estate, and this Lease shall not be
terminated for any reason except as expressly provided in this instrument.

 

III.           Waiver of Trial by Jury. 
LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS LEASE OR
ANY 

 

28

 

ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF
LANDLORD OR TENANT AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS
OR AGENTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

 

IV.           Binding Effect.  Except
as in this Lease otherwise specifically provided, all of the terms, provisions
and conditions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
Landlord, its heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns and
Tenant, its heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

 

V.            Integration.  This Lease
contains the entire and only agreement between the parties, and no other prior
agreement or oral statement or representation shall have any force or
effect.  This Lease shall not be modified
in any way except by a writing signed by both parties.

 

VI.           No Recording.  Landlord
and Tenant agree that neither this Lease nor any memorandum hereof will be
recorded.

 

VII.          Attorneys’ Fees. 
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, if either
party herein brings an action or proceeding to enforce the terms hereof or to
declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in any such action or proceeding,
on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’
fees, expert witness fees and costs.

 

VIII.        Satellite Installation. 
Landlord and Tenant agree that Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole
cost and expense, to continue to maintain any so-called “satellite dishes” (or
other similar devices) existing upon the Building as of the Lease Commencement
Date and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall,
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, be responsible for all of the repairs and
maintenance related thereto or resulting therefrom.

 

IX.           Security.  Tenant shall
have the right to continue to maintain, within the Demised Premises, any
security system existing as of the Lease Commencement Date and, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, be responsible for all of the repairs and maintenance related thereto
or resulting therefrom.

 

X.            Intentionally Deleted.

 

XI.           Time of Essence.  Time is
of the essence of this Lease and each of its provisions.

 

XII.         Landlord Exculpation.  It
is expressly understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything in this Lease
to the contrary, and notwithstanding any applicable law to the contrary, the
liability of Landlord and the other Landlord Parties hereunder and any recourse
by Tenant against Landlord and/or the other Landlord Parties shall be limited
solely and exclusively to the equity interest Landlord has in the
Property.  Neither Landlord nor any of
the other Landlord Parties shall have any personal liability therefor, and
Tenant hereby expressly waives and releases such personal liability on behalf
of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant.  The limitations of liability contained in
this Section 22.12 shall inure to the benefit of the present and future
partners, beneficiaries, members, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders,
agents and employees of Landlord and the other Landlord Parties and their
respective partners, 

 

29

 

heirs, successors and
assigns.  Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary in this Lease, neither Landlord nor the other Landlord Parties
shall be liable under any circumstances for injury or damage to, or interference
with, Tenant’s business, including but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of
rents or other revenues, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss
of use, in each case, however occurring.

 

XIII.        Landlord Renovations. 
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may during the Lease Term renovate, improve,
alter, or modify (collectively, the “Renovations”) the Property, including,
without limitation, the Building, Parking Areas, Common Areas, systems and
equipment, roof, and structural portions of the same; provided, however, that
such Renovations shall not materially interfere with Tenant’s ability to access
or use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises and Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any material and adverse
interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Demised Premises.  Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations
and Landlord’s actions in connection with such Renovations shall in no way
constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement
of Rent (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, provided such
Renovations do not unreasonably impair Tenant’s use and enjoyment of or access
to the Demised Premises).  Except as
otherwise provided herein, Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any
reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference
with Tenant’s business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be
entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of
the whole or any part of the Demised Premises or of Tenant’s personal property
or improvements resulting from the Renovations or Landlord’s actions in
connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance
occasioned by such Renovations or Landlord’s actions in connection with such
Renovations.

 

XIV.        Anti-Terrorism Laws.  Tenant
represents and warrants to Landlord, and covenants with Landlord, that neither
Tenant nor any of the entities or individuals constituting Tenant, or which may
own or control Tenant, or which may be owned or controlled by Tenant, currently
are, or shall be at any time during the Lease Term (including, if applicable,
any extension thereof), among the individuals or entities identified on any
list compiled pursuant to any laws relating to terrorism or money laundering
for purposes of identifying suspected terrorists or regulations promulgated
pursuant thereto (collectively, the Anti-Terrorism
Laws”), including, without limitation, Executive Order No. 13224 on
Terrorist Financing.  At any time and
from time to time during the Lease Term (including, if applicable, any
extension thereof), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within ten (10) days
after receipt of a written request therefor, a written certification or such
other evidence reasonably acceptable to Landlord evidencing and confirming
Tenant’s compliance with this Section XIV.

 

XV.         Anti-Terrorism Laws. 
Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant, and covenants with Tenant, that
neither Landlord nor any of the entities or individuals constituting Landlord,
or which may own or control Landlord, or which may be owned or controlled by
Landlord, currently are, or shall be at any time during the Lease Term
(including, if applicable, any extension thereof), among the individuals or entities
identified on any list compiled pursuant to any Anti-Terrorism Laws.  At any
time and from time to time during the Lease Term (including, if applicable, any
extension thereof), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, within ten (10) days
after receipt of a written request therefor, a written certification or such
other evidence reasonably acceptable to Tenant evidencing and confirming
Landlord’s compliance with this Section XV.

ARTICLE 1

 

PURPOSE

 

The purpose of the FTD
Group, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Award Plan, As Amended and Restated as
of October 29, 2008 and Assumed by United Online, Inc. (the “Plan”), is to promote the success and
enhance the value of United Online, Inc. (the “Company” by linking the
personal interests of the members of the Board, Employees, and Consultants to
those of Company stockholders and by providing such individuals with an
incentive for outstanding performance to generate superior returns to Company
stockholders. The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the
Company in its ability to motivate, attract, and retain the services of members
of the Board, Employees, and Consultants upon whose judgment, interest, and
special effort the successful conduct of the Company’s operation is largely
dependent.

 

The Plan was originally implemented
by FTD Group, Inc. as an amendment and restatement of the Stock Option
Plan of Mercury Man Holdings Corporation, adopted as of September 30, 2004
(the “Original Plan”).  The unallocated
share reserve existing under the Plan immediately prior to the Company’s
acquisition of FTD Group, Inc. pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan
of Merger by and among the Company, UNOLA Corp. and FTD Group, Inc. dated April 30,
2008 (the “Merger Agreement”) was assumed by the Company in connection with
such acquisition. However, such share reserve has been adjusted to reflect the
exchange ratio established by the Board on August 25, 2008 (the “Exchange
Ratio”) in accordance with Nasdaq rules.

ARTICLE 5

5.1    General.    The
Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants on the following terms
and conditions:

Price.    The exercise price per share of Stock
subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the
Award Agreement; provided that
the exercise price for any Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair
Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant.

 

(b)    Time
and Conditions of Exercise.    The Committee
shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole
or in part; provided that the
term of any Option granted under the Plan shall not exceed ten years. The
Committee shall also determine the performance or other conditions, if any,
that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised.

 

(c)    Payment.    The
Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option
may be paid, the form of payment, including, without limitation: (i) cash,
(ii) promissory note bearing interest at a market rate or such higher rate
as may be required to preclude the imputation of interest under the Code, (iii) shares
of Stock held for such period of time as may be required by the Committee in
order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and having a Fair Market Value
on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or
exercised portion thereof, or (iv) other property acceptable to the
Committee (including through the delivery of a notice that the Participant has
placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of Stock then
issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to
pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in
satisfaction of the Option exercise price; provided
that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of
such sale), and the methods by which shares of Stock shall be delivered or
deemed to be

 

6

 

delivered to Participants. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant who is a member of the
Board or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of
the Exchange Act shall be permitted to pay the exercise price of an Option in
any method which would violate Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

 

(d)    Evidence
of Grant.    All Options shall be evidenced by a
written Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant. The Award
Agreement shall include such additional provisions as may be specified by the
Committee.

 

5.2    Incentive Stock Options.    The
terms of any Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan must comply
with the conditions and limitations contained Section 13.2 and this Section 5.2.

 

(a)    Eligibility.    Incentive
Stock Options may be granted only to employees of FTD Group, Inc. or any “subsidiary
corporation” thereof (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the
Code and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Incentive Stock Options will be granted under the Plan on or
after August 26, 2008.

 

(b)    Exercise
Price.    The exercise price per share of Stock
shall be set by the Committee; provided
that subject to Section 5.2(e) the exercise price for any Incentive
Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date
of grant.

 

(c)    Expiration.    Subject
to Section 5.2(e), an Incentive Stock Option may not be exercised to any
extent by anyone after the tenth anniversary of the date it is granted, unless
an earlier time is set in the Award Agreement.

 

(d)    Individual
Dollar Limitation.    The aggregate Fair Market
Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all shares of Stock
with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a
Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 or such other
limitation as imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code, or any successor
provision. To the extent that Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by
a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered
Non-Qualified Stock Options.

 

7

 

(e)    Ten
Percent Owners.    An Incentive Stock Option
shall be granted to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns stock
possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all

of Disposition.    The Participant shall give
the Company prompt notice of any disposition of shares of Stock acquired by
exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within (i) two years from the date
of grant of such Incentive Stock Option or (ii) one year after the
transfer of such shares of Stock to the Participant.

 

(g)    Right
to Exercise.    During a Participant’s lifetime,
an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant.

Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to substitute a Stock
Appreciation Right for such Option at any time prior to or upon exercise of such
Option, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2 hereof; provided that
such Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable with respect to the same
number of shares of Stock for which such substituted Option would have been
exercisable and shall have the same exercise price per share as the exercise
price per share in effect for the Option at the time of such substitution.

the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a
third party, an automated system for the exercise of Options, such as a system

the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

7.1    Grant of Stock Appreciation
Rights.    A Stock Appreciation Right may be
granted to any Participant selected by the Committee. A Stock Appreciation
Right may be granted (a) in connection and simultaneously with the grant
of an Option, (b) with respect to a previously granted Option, or (c) independent
of an Option. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such terms and
conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall impose and
shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

 

7.2    Coupled Stock Appreciation
Rights.

 

(a)   A Coupled Stock Appreciation
Right (“CSAR”) shall be related
to a particular Option and shall be exercisable only when and to the extent the
related Option is exercisable, provided,
however, that the exercise price
for any CSAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date
of grant, if granted simultaneously with such Option, or not less than the
Option exercise price per share for the coupled Option if granted subsequently;
and provided, further, that, the Committee in its sole
and absolute discretion may provide that the CSAR may be exercised subsequent
to a termination of employment or service, as applicable, or following a
Corporate Event, or because of the Participant’s retirement, death or
disability, or otherwise.

 

(b)   A CSAR may be granted to a
Participant for no more than the number of shares subject to the simultaneously
or previously granted Option to which it is coupled.

 

(c)   A CSAR shall entitle the
Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Option pursuant to the
Plan) to surrender to the Company the unexercised portion of the Option to
which the CSAR relates (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms)
and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount determined by
multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the Option exercise price
from the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the
CSAR by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the CSAR shall have
been exercised, subject to any limitations the Committee may impose.

 

7.3    Independent Stock
Appreciation Rights.

 

(a)   An Independent Stock Appreciation
Right (“ISAR”) shall be unrelated
to any Option and shall have a term set by the Committee. An ISAR shall be
exercisable in such installments as the Committee may determine. An ISAR shall
cover such number of shares of Stock as the Committee may determine. The
exercise price per share of Stock subject to each ISAR shall be set by the
Committee; provided, however,

 

9

 

that the exercise price for any ISAR shall not be less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant; and provided, further, that, the Committee in
its sole and absolute discretion may provide that the ISAR may be exercised
subsequent to a termination of employment or service, as applicable, or
following a Corporate Event, or because of the Participant’s retirement, death
or disability, or otherwise.

 

(b)   An ISAR shall entitle the
Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the ISAR pursuant to the
Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the ISAR (to the extent then
exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company an amount
determined by multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise
price per share of the ISAR from the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on
the date of exercise of the ISAR by the number of shares of Stock with respect
to which the ISAR shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the
Committee may impose.

 

7.4    Payment and Limitations on
Exercise.

 

(a)   Payment of the amounts determined
under Sections 7.2(c) and 7.3(b) above shall be in cash, in Stock
(based on its Fair Market Value as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is
exercised) or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee.

 

(b)   To the extent any payment under Section 7.2(c) or
7.3(b) is effected in Stock it shall be made subject to satisfaction of
all provisions of Article 5 above pertaining to Options.

case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by

specify the maturity date applicable to each grant of Restricted Stock Units
which shall be no earlier than the vesting date or dates of the Award and may
be determined at the election of the grantee, subject to compliance with the
applicable deferral election requirements of Code Section 409A. On the
maturity date, the Company shall, subject to Section 10.5(b), transfer to
the Participant one unrestricted, fully transferable share of Stock for each
Restricted Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously

Participant selected by the Committee may be granted one or more Awards that
provide Participants with shares of Stock or the right to purchase shares of

ARTICLE

PERFORMANCE-BASED
AWARDS

 

9.1    Purpose.    The
purpose of this Article 9 is to provide the Committee the ability to
qualify Awards other than Options and SARs and that are granted pursuant to
Articles 6 and 8 as Qualified Performance-Based Compensation. If the Committee,
in its discretion, decides to grant a Performance-Based Award to an Eligible
Employee, the provisions of this Article 9 shall control over any contrary
provision contained in Articles 6 or 8; provided,
however, that the Committee may in its discretion grant Awards to
Eligible Employees that are based on Performance Criteria or Performance Goals
but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Article 9.

 

9.2    Applicability.    This
Article 9 shall apply only to those Eligible  Employees selected by the Committee to
receive Performance-Based Awards. The designation of an Eligible Employee as a
Participant for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle the
Participant to receive an Award for the period. Moreover, designation of an
Eligible Employee as a Participant for a particular Performance Period shall
not require designation of such Eligible Employee as a Participant in any
subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Eligible Employee as a
Participant shall not require designation of any other Eligible Employees as a
Participant in such period or in any other period.

 

9.3    Procedures with Respect to
Performance-Based Awards.    To the extent
necessary to comply with the Qualified Performance-Based Compensation
requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any
Award granted under Articles 6 and 8 which may be granted to one or more
Eligible Employees. no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement
of any fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal period or period
of service (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of
the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (a) designate one or more
Eligible Employees as recipients of the Performance-Based Awards, (b) select
the Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance Period, (c) establish
the Performance Goals, and amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be
earned for such Performance Period, and (d) specify the relationship
between Performance Criteria and the Performance Goals and the amounts of such
Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Award recipient for such
Performance Period. Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee
shall certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals have been
achieved for such Performance Period. In determining the amount earned by each
Participant,  the Committee shall have
the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a
given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the
Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate
performance for the Performance Period.

 

9.4    Payment of Performance-Based
Awards.    Unless otherwise provided in the
applicable Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company or a
Subsidiary on the day a Performance-Based Award for such Performance Period is
paid to the Participant. Furthermore, a Participant shall be eligible to
receive payment pursuant to a Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period
only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved.

 

9.5    Additional Limitations.    Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to an Eligible
Employee and is intended to constitute Qualified Performance-Based Compensation
shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of
the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m) of the Code) or
any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are requirements for
qualification as qualified performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of
the Code, and the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to
conform to such requirements.

PROVISIONS
APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

 

10.1    Stand-Alone and Tandem
Awards.    Awards granted pursuant to the Plan
may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, in addition
to, or in tandem with, any other Award granted pursuant to the Plan. Awards
granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at
the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards.

 

10.2    Award Agreement.    Awards
under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements that set forth the terms,
conditions and limitations for each Award which may include the term of an
Award, the provisions applicable in the event the Participant’s employment or
service terminates, and the Company’s authority to unilaterally or bilaterally
amend, modify, suspend, cancel or rescind an Award.

 

10.3    Limits on Transfer.    No
right or interest of a Participant in any Award may be pledged, encumbered, or
hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or a
Subsidiary, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such
Participant to any other party other than the Company or a Subsidiary. Except
as otherwise provided by the Committee, no Award shall be assigned,
transferred, or otherwise disposed of by a Participant other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee by express provision in the
Award or an amendment thereto may permit an Award (other than an Incentive Stock
Option) to be transferred to, exercised by and paid to certain persons or
entities related to the Participant, including but not limited to members of
the Participant’s family, charitable institutions, or trusts or other entities
whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are members of the Participant’s
family and/or charitable institutions, or to such other persons or entities as
may be expressly approved by the Committee, pursuant to such conditions and
procedures as the Committee may establish. Any permitted transfer shall be
subject to the condition that the Committee receive evidence satisfactory to it
that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax planning purposes (or to
a “blind trust” in connection with the Participant’s termination of employment
or service with the Company or a Subsidiary to assume a position with a
governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit institution) and on
a basis consistent with the Company’s lawful issue of securities.

 

10.4    Beneficiaries.    Notwithstanding
Section 10.3, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the
Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant
and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s
death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person
claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions
of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to
the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any
additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If
the Participant is married and resides in a community property state, a
designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his or her beneficiary
with respect to more than 50% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall
not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s spouse.
If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment
shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will
or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a
beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time
provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.

 

10.5    Stock Certificates; Book
Entry Procedures.

 

(a)   Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificates evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Award,
unless and until the Board has determined, with advice of counsel, that the
issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable
laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the
requirements of any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed or traded.
All Stock certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan are subject to any
stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or
advisable to comply with federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, securities or
other laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national
securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed,
quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock

 

13

 

certificate to reference restrictions applicable to
the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board
may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and
representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to
comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Committee shall
have the right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other
restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including
a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the
Committee.

 

(b)   Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required
by any applicable law, rule or regulation, the Company shall not deliver
to any Participant certificates evidencing shares of Stock issued in connection
with any Award and instead such shares of Stock shall be recorded in the books
of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan
administrator).

CHANGES
IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

 

11.1    Adjustments.

 

(a)   Should any change be made to the
Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares, or other change affecting the
outstanding Stock as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration,
then appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator to (i) 
the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the
maximum number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be
granted Awards during any rolling one-year period under Section 3.3, (iii) the
number and class of securities subject to each outstanding Award under the Plan
and (iv) the exercise price or cash consideration payable per share under
each such outstanding Award.  Any
adjustment affecting an Award intended as Qualified Performance-Based
Compensation shall be made consistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of
the Code.

 

(b)   In the event of  any transaction or event described in Section 11.1(a) 
or in the event of  a Change in
Control,  Corporate Transaction or  Hostile Take-Over, the Committee, in its sole
discretion and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by
amendment of the terms of any outstanding Awards or by action taken prior to
the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon
the Participant’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following
actions, as it deems appropriate:

 

(i)  To provide for either (A) termination
of any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or other property, if
any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of
such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights (and, for the avoidance
of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event
described in this Section 11.1(b) the Committee determines in good
faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award
or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated
by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award with
other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion;

 

(ii)  To provide that such Award be assumed
by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or
shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the
stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary
thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and
prices; and

 

(iii)  To make adjustments in the number and
type of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) subject to
outstanding Awards, and in the number and kind of outstanding Restricted Stock
or Deferred Stock and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or
exercise

 

14

 

price), and the criteria included in, outstanding
options, rights and awards and options, rights and awards which may be granted
in the future;

 

(iv)  To provide that such Award shall be
exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all shares covered
thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable
Award Agreement; and

 

(v)  To provide that the Award cannot vest,
be exercised or become payable after such event.

 

(c)   The Committee (or the Board, in
the case of Options granted to Independent Directors) may, in its sole
discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Award
Agreement as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company and
its Affiliates.

 

11.2    Outstanding Awards—Other
Changes.    In the event of any other change in
the capitalization of the Company or corporate change other than those
specifically referred to in this Article 11, the Committee may, in its
absolute discretion, make such adjustments in the number and kind of shares or
other securities subject to Awards outstanding on the date on which such change
occurs and in the per share grant or exercise price of each Award as the
Committee may consider appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of
rights.

 

11.3    No Other Rights.    Except
as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by
reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the
payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of
stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of
the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan
or pursuant to action of the Committee under the Plan, no issuance by the
Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares
of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall
be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award or
the grant or exercise price of any Award.

approved in writing by a majority of the Committee in lieu of a meeting, shall
be deemed the acts of the Committee. Each member of the Committee is entitled
to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished

Subsidiary, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any
executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company

AMENDMENT,
MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

 

14.1    Amendment, Modification, And
Termination.    With the approval of the Board,
at any time and from time to time, the Committee may terminate, amend or modify
the Plan; provided, however, that
(a) to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with any applicable
law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, the Company shall obtain stockholder
approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as
required, and (b) stockholder approval is required for any amendment to
the Plan that (i) increases the number of shares available under the Plan
(other than any adjustment as provided by Article 11), (ii) permits
the Committee to grant Options with an exercise price that is below Fair Market
Value on the date of grant, or (iii) permits the Committee to extend the
exercise period for an Option beyond ten years from the date of grant or (iv) results
in a material increase in benefits or a change in eligibility requirements.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, absent approval of
the stockholders of the Company, no Option may be amended to reduce the per
share exercise price of the shares subject to such Option below the per share
exercise price as of the date the Option is granted and, except as permitted by
Article 11, no Option may be granted in exchange for, or in connection
with, the cancellation or surrender of an Option having a higher per share
exercise price.

termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in
any material way any Award previously granted pursuant to the Plan without the
prior written consent of the Participant.

GENERAL
PROVISIONS

 

15.1    No Rights to Awards.    No
Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to be granted any
Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is
obligated to treat Eligible Individuals, Participants or any other persons
uniformly.

 

15.2    No Stockholders Rights.    Except
as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a
stockholder with respect to shares of Stock covered by any Award until the
Participant becomes the record owner of such shares of Stock.

 

15.3    Withholding.    The
Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or
withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount
sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including the
Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to
any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a result of this Plan.
The Committee may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing
requirement allow a Participant to elect to have the Company withhold shares of
Stock otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of shares of
Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares of Stock
which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment
of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Participant of such Award
within six months (or such other period as may be determined by the Committee)
after such shares of Stock were acquired by the Participant from the Company)
in order to satisfy the Participant’s federal, state, local and foreign income
and payroll tax liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or
payment of the Award shall be limited to the number of shares which have a Fair
Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate
amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for
federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are
applicable to such supplemental taxable income.

 

17

 

15.4    No Right to Employment or
Services.    Nothing in the Plan or any Award
Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or
any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any
time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or
service of the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

15.5    Unfunded Status of Awards.    The
Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With
respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award,
nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant
any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or
any Subsidiary.

 

15.6    Indemnification.    To
the extent allowable pursuant to applicable law, each member of the Committee
or of the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any
loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably
incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action,
suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may
be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and
against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of
judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an
opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she
undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing
right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of
indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or
any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

 

15.7    Relationship to other
Benefits.    No payment pursuant to the Plan
shall be taken into account in determining any benefits pursuant to any
pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other
benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except to the extent otherwise
expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

 

15.8    Expenses.    The
expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its
Subsidiaries.

 

15.9    Titles and Headings.    The
titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of
reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather
than such titles or headings, shall control.

 

15.10    Fractional Shares.    No
fractional shares of Stock shall be issued and the Committee shall determine,
in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or
whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as
appropriate.

 

15.11    Limitations Applicable to Section 16
Persons.    Notwithstanding any other provision
of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any Participant who
is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any
additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16
of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange
Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded
hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such
applicable exemptive rule.

 

15.12    Government and Other
Regulations.    The obligation of the Company to
make payment of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable
laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by government agencies as
may be required. The Company shall be under no obligation to register pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any of the shares of Stock paid
pursuant to the Plan. If the shares paid pursuant to the Plan may in certain
circumstances be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares in such
manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

 

15.13    Governing Law.    The
Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
