AGREEMENT

 

1. Landlord’s
Consent. Landlord hereby consents to the Sublease; provided however, notwithstanding anything contained in the Sublease to the contrary,
such consent is granted by Landlord only upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Sublease is and at all times shall
remain subject and subordinate to the Lease. Landlord shall not be bound by any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements
of the Sublease.

 

2. Non-Release
of Sublandlord; Further Transfers. Neither the Sublease nor this consent thereto shall release or discharge Sublandlord from any liability,
whether past, present or future, under the Lease or alter the primary liability of Sublandlord to pay the rent and perform and comply
with all of the obligations of Sublandlord to be performed under the Lease (including the payment of all bills rendered by Landlord for
charges incurred by the Subtenant for services and materials supplied to the Sublet Premises). Neither the Sublease nor this consent thereto
shall be construed as a waiver of Landlord’s right to consent to any further subletting either by Sublandlord or by the Subtenant
or to any assignment by Sublandlord of the Lease or assignment by the Subtenant of the Sublease, or as a consent to any portion of the
Sublet Premises being used or occupied by any other party. Landlord may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the Lease
or the Sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying either Sublandlord or anyone else liable under the Lease
and without obtaining their consent. No such action by Landlord shall relieve such persons from any liability to Landlord or otherwise
with regard to the Sublet Premises.

 

3. Relationship
With Landlord. Sublandlord hereby assigns and transfers to Landlord the Sublandlord’s interest in the Sublease and all rentals
and income arising therefrom, subject to the terms of this Section 3. Landlord, by consenting to the Sublease agrees that until a default
shall occur in the performance of Sublandlord’s obligations under the Lease, Sublandlord may receive, collect and enjoy the rents
accruing under the Sublease. In the event Sublandlord shall default in the performance of its obligations to Landlord under the Lease
beyond applicable notice and cure, and Landlord is entitled to terminate the Lease under its terms for such uncured default, then whether
or not Landlord terminates the Lease, Landlord may, at its option by notice to Sublandlord, either (a) terminate the Sublease, (b) elect
to receive and collect, directly from Subtenant, all rent and any other sums owing and to be owed under the Sublease, as further set forth
in Section 3.1 below, or (c) elect to succeed to Sublandlord’s interest in the Sublease and cause Subtenant to attorn to Landlord,
as further set forth in Section 3.2 below.

 

    1

     

    

 

 

3.1. Landlord’s
Election to Receive Rents. Landlord shall not, by reason of the Sublease, nor by reason of the collection of rents or any other sums
from the Subtenant pursuant to Section 3(b) above, be deemed liable to Subtenant for any failure of Sublandlord to perform and comply
with any obligation of Sublandlord, and Sublandlord hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Subtenant, upon receipt of any written notice
from Landlord stating that a default exists in the performance of Sublandlord’s obligations under the Lease, to pay to Landlord
the rents and any other sums due and to become due under the Sublease. Sublandlord agrees that Subtenant shall have the right to rely
upon any such statement and request from Landlord, and that Subtenant shall pay any such rents and any other sums to Landlord without
any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Sublandlord to
the contrary. Sublandlord shall not have any right or claim against Subtenant for any such rents or any other sums so paid by Subtenant
to Landlord. Landlord shall credit Sublandlord with any rent received by Landlord under such assignment but the acceptance of any payment
on account of rent from Subtenant as the result of any such default shall in no manner whatsoever be deemed an attornment by the Landlord
to Subtenant or by Subtenant to Landlord, be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any provision of the Lease or serve to release Sublandlord
from any liability under the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
other payment of rent from Subtenant directly to Landlord, regardless of the circumstances or reasons therefor, shall in no manner whatsoever
be deemed an attornment by the Subtenant to Landlord in the absence of a specific written agreement signed by Landlord to such an effect.

 

3.2. Landlord’s
Election of Sublandlord’s Attornment. In the event Landlord elects, at its option, to cause Subtenant to attorn to Landlord
pursuant to Section 3(c) above, Landlord shall undertake the obligations of Sublandlord under the Sublease from the time of the exercise
of the option, but Landlord shall not (i) be liable for any prepayment of more than one month’s rent or any security deposit paid
by Subtenant, (ii) be liable for any previous act or omission of Sublandlord under the Lease or for any other defaults of Sublandlord
under the Sublease, (iii) be subject to any defenses or offsets previously accrued which Subtenant may have against Sublandlord, or (iv)
be bound by any changes or modifications made to the Sublease without the written consent of Landlord.

 

4. Insurance
and Indemnity. Sublandlord shall require Subtenant to have the same insurance obligations as Sublandlord under the Lease, and to add
Landlord and its designees as additional insured on Subtenant’s general liability policy. Subtenant’s property insurance and
worker’s compensation policy shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurer to the benefit of Landlord and its property manager
and Sublandlord shall provide documentation of such coverage upon Landlord’s request. Subtenant’s insurance coverage does
not release Sublandlord of its insurance obligations under the Lease. Sublandlord shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord and its officers,
directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees or contractors harmless as against all claims and liabilities arising from or pertaining
to the loss or destruction of and any damage to any property within the Premises belonging to Subtenant from any cause whatsoever, including
without limitation, damage caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the negligence of Landlord or its agents, employees
or contractors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, all property of Subtenant kept or stored on the Premises,
whether leased or owned by Subtenant or any third parties through Subtenant, shall be kept or stored at the sole risk of Subtenant, and
Subtenant shall hold Landlord harmless from any claims arising out of damage to the same.

 

Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, Sublandlord and Subtenant mutually acknowledge and agree that Subtenant’s use of Hazardous Materials shall be subject
to the terms and conditions of the Lease, specifically Section 1.2. Sublandlord shall remain responsible for all Hazardous Materials
at the Premises and ensure that Subtenant is following all applicable Environmental Laws. Furthermore, the Hazardous Materials Addendum
attached hereto as Addendum One, shall be incorporated into the Lease.

 

5. General
Provisions.

 

5.1. Consideration
for Sublease. Sublandlord and Subtenant represent and warrant that there are no additional payments of rent or any other consideration
of any type payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord with regard to the Sublet Premises other than as disclosed in the Sublease.

or other charge or expense in connection with the Sublease and Sublandlord and Subtenant agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from the same and from any cost or expense (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord
in resisting any claim for any such brokerage commission.

 

5.3. Term.
Each of Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby expressly waives any right to extend the term of either the Lease or Sublease without the prior
written approval of Landlord.

 

5.4. Recapture.
This consent shall in no manner be construed as limiting Landlord’s ability to exercise its rights to recapture any portion of the
Premises, as set forth in Section 9 of the Lease, in the event of a proposed future sublease or assignment of such portion of the Premises.

 

5.5. Controlling
Law. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California.
