Exhibit 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED RENTECH, INC.

2009 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

ARTICLE 1.

PURPOSE

The purpose of the Amended and Restated Rentech, Inc. 2009 Incentive Award Plan (the
“Plan”) is to promote the success and enhance the value of Rentech, Inc. (the
“Company”) by linking the personal interests of certain 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 certain 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 amends and restates in its entirety the Rentech, Inc. 2009 Incentive Award
Plan (the “Original Plan”).

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

3.1 Number of Shares.

(a) Subject to Article 11 and Section 3.1(b), the aggregate number of shares of Stock
which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the Plan is 24,500,000 (the
“Share Limit”), all of which may be issued as Incentive Stock Options; provided,
however, that the Share Limit shall be reduced by 1.5 shares for each share of Stock
delivered in settlement of any Full Value Award that is granted on or after the Restatement
Date. For the avoidance of doubt, shares of Stock delivered in settlement of any Full Value
Award granted prior to the Restatement Date shall count against the Share Limit as 1 share.

(b) To the extent that an Award terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason or such
Award is settled in cash, any shares of Stock subject to the Award shall, to the extent of
such termination, expiration, forfeiture or cash settlement, be added back to the Share
Limit. To the extent that shares of Stock are added back to the Share Limit in accordance
with the preceding sentence, (i) each share of Stock added back in connection with the
termination, expiration, forfeiture or cash settlement of a Full Value Award shall increase
the Share Limit by 1.5 shares and (ii) each share of Stock added back in connection with the
termination, expiration, forfeiture or cash settlement of an Award other than a Full Value
Award shall increase the Share Limit by 1 share. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, any shares of Stock tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant or exercise
price or tax withholding obligation pursuant to any Award shall not again be available for
the grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan. To the extent permitted by applicable law or any
exchange rule, shares of Stock issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any
outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any
Subsidiary shall not be counted against shares of Stock available for grant pursuant to this
Plan. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards
shall not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.1(b), no shares of Stock may again be
optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to
qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.

3.2 Stock Distributed. Any Stock distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in
whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Stock, treasury Stock or Stock purchased on the open
market.

3.3 Limitation on Number of Shares Subject to Awards. Notwithstanding any provision in
the Plan to the contrary, and subject to Article 11, the maximum number of shares of Stock with
respect to one or more Awards that may be granted to any one Eligible Individual during a rolling
three-year period (measured from the date of any grant) shall be 4,000,000 and the maximum amount
that may be paid in cash during any calendar year with respect to any Performance-Based Award
(including, without limitation, any Performance Bonus Award) shall be $2,000,000.

ARTICLE 4.

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

4.1 Eligibility. Each Eligible Individual shall be eligible to be granted one or more
Awards pursuant to the Plan.

4.2 Participation. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may, from time

be granted any Award under this Plan.

 

5

 

4.3 Foreign Participants. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries
operate or have Eligible Individuals, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power
and authority to: (i) determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered by the Plan; (ii) determine
which Eligible Individuals outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan; (iii)
modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Eligible Individuals outside the United
States to comply with applicable foreign laws; (iv) establish subplans and modify exercise
procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable
(any such subplans and/or modifications shall be attached to this Plan as appendices); provided,
however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained
in Sections 3.1 and 3.3 of the Plan; and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is made,
that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local governmental
regulatory exemptions or approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not take any
actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate the Exchange Act, the Code,
any securities law or governing statute or any other applicable law.

ARTICLE 5.

STOCK OPTIONS

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

(a) Exercise 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,
subject to Section 5.2(d), 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) 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 (iii) 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 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, or continue any extension of
credit with respect to the exercise price of an Option with a loan from the Company or a
loan arranged by the Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

(d) Evidence of Grant. All Options shall be evidenced by an 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. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to Eligible
Individuals who are Employees and the terms of any Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the
Plan, in addition to the requirements of Section 5.1, must comply with the provisions of this
Section 5.2.

(a) Expiration. Subject to Section 5.2(c), an Incentive Stock Option shall
expire and may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the
following events:

(i) Ten years from the date it is granted, unless an earlier time is set in the
Award Agreement;

(ii) Six months after the Participant’s termination of employment as an Employee
other than on account of the Participant’s Disability or death, provided, that any
exercise of an Option more than three
months after the Participant’s termination of employment as an Employee on account of
the Participant’s Disability or death shall cause such Option to be treated as a
Non-Qualified Stock Option; and

 

6

 

(iii) One year after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or
service on account of Disability or death. Upon the Participant’s Disability or
death, any Incentive Stock Options exercisable at the Participant’s Disability or
death may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or representatives,
by the person or persons entitled to do so pursuant to the Participant’s last will
and testament, or, if the Participant fails to make testamentary disposition of such
Incentive Stock Option or dies intestate, by the person or persons entitled to
receive the Incentive Stock Option pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and
distribution.

(b) 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.

(c) 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 classes of Stock of the Company only if such Option is
granted at a price that is not less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant and
the Option is exercisable for no more than five years from the date of grant.

(d) Notice 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.

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

(f) Failure to Meet Requirements. Any Option (or portion thereof) purported to
be an Incentive Stock Option, which, for any reason, fails to meet the requirements of
Section 422 of the Code shall be considered a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

5.3 Granting of Options to Independent Directors. The Board may from time to time, in
its sole discretion, and subject to the limitations of the Plan:

(a) Select from among the Independent Directors (including Independent Directors who
have previously been granted Options under the Plan) such of them as in its opinion should
be granted Options;

(b) Subject to Section 3.3, determine the number of shares of Stock that may be
purchased upon exercise of the Options granted to such selected Independent Directors; and

combination at such times, pursuant to such circumstances, in such installments, or otherwise, as

7

 

6.3 Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the
grant of the Award or thereafter, upon termination of employment or service during the applicable
restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to restrictions shall be
forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may (a) provide in any Restricted Stock Award
Agreement that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in
whole or in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and (b) in other
cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock.

6.4 Certificates for Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan
may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing
shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, certificates must bear an
appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such
Restricted Stock, and the Company may, at its discretion, retain physical possession of the
certificate until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse.

ARTICLE 7.

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is
exercised over (B) the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation
Right was granted (or such greater value as the Committee shall determine at the time of

to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, subject to any limitations the Committee
may impose.

exercised in whole or in part; provided that the term of any Stock Appreciation Right
granted under the Plan shall not exceed ten years.

7.2 Payment and Limitations on Exercise.

(a) Subject to Section 7.2(b), payment of the amounts determined under Section 7.1(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 in
the Award Agreement.

(b) To the extent any payment under Section 7.1(b) is effected in Stock, it shall be

vesting conditions applicable to the Performance Share Award or Performance Stock Unit in
respect of which such dividend equivalents are credited and shall not be paid to the
Participant holding such Award unless, until and to the extent that the Award vests.

(b) Dividend Equivalents granted with respect to Options or SARs that are intended to
be Qualified Performance-Based Compensation shall be payable, with respect to pre-exercise
periods, regardless of whether such Option or SAR is subsequently exercised.

8.4 Stock Payments. Subject to Section 10.5(b), any Participant selected by the
Committee may receive Stock Payments in the manner determined from time to time by the Committee;
provided, that unless otherwise determined by the Committee, such Stock Payments shall be made in
lieu of base salary, bonus, or other cash compensation otherwise payable to such Participant. The
number of shares shall be determined by the Committee and may be based upon the Performance
Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Committee, determined
on the date such Stock Payment is made or on any date thereafter.

8.5 Deferred Stock. Any Participant selected by the Committee may be granted an award
of Deferred Stock in the manner determined from time to time by the Committee. The number of shares
of Deferred Stock shall be determined by the Committee and may be linked to the Performance
Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined to be appropriate by the Committee, in
each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Committee.
Subject to Section 10.5(b), stock underlying a Deferred Stock award will not be issued until the
Deferred Stock award has vested, pursuant to a vesting schedule or performance criteria set by the
Committee. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a Participant awarded Deferred Stock shall
have no rights as a Company stockholder with respect to such Deferred Stock until such time as the
Deferred Stock Award has vested and the Stock underlying the Deferred Stock Award has been issued.

8.6 Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is authorized to make Awards of Restricted
Stock Units to any Participant selected by the Committee in such amounts and subject to such terms
and conditions as determined by the Committee. At the time of grant, the Committee shall specify
the date or dates on which the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable,
and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate. At the time of grant, the
Committee shall 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. 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 forfeited.

8.7 Performance Bonus Awards. Any Participant selected by the Committee may be granted
one or more Performance-Based Awards in the form of a cash bonus (a “Performance Bonus
Award”) payable upon the attainment of Performance Goals that are established by the Committee
and relate to one or more of the Performance Criteria, in each case on a specified date or dates or
over any period or periods determined by the Committee. Any such Performance Bonus Award paid to a
Covered Employee shall be based upon objectively determinable bonus formulas established in
accordance with Article 9.

 

9

 

8.8 Term. Except as otherwise provided herein, the term of any Award of Performance
Shares, Performance Stock Units, Dividend Equivalents, Stock Payments, Deferred Stock or Restricted
Stock Units shall be set by the Committee in its discretion.

8.9 Exercise or Purchase Price. The Committee may establish the exercise or purchase
price, if any, of any Award of Performance Shares, Performance Stock Units, Deferred Stock, Stock
Payments or Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that such price shall not be less than the
par value of a share of Stock on the date of grant, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state
law.

8.10 Exercise upon Termination of Employment or Service. An Award of Performance
Shares, Performance Stock Units, Dividend Equivalents, Deferred Stock, Stock Payments and
Restricted Stock Units shall only be exercisable or payable while the Participant is an Employee,
Consultant or a member of the Board, as applicable; provided, however, that the Committee in its
sole and absolute discretion may provide that an Award of Performance Shares, Performance Stock
Units, Dividend Equivalents, Stock Payments, Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock Units may be
exercised or paid subsequent to a termination of employment or service, as applicable, or following
a Change in Control of the Company, or because of the Participant’s retirement, death or
disability, or otherwise; provided, however, that any such provision with respect to Performance
Shares or Performance Stock Units shall be subject to the requirements of Section 162(m) of the
Code that apply to Qualified Performance-Based Compensation.

8.11 Form of Payment. Payments with respect to any Awards granted under this Article 8
shall be made in cash, in Stock or a combination of both, as determined by the Committee.

8.12 Award Agreement. All Awards under this Article 8 shall be subject to such
additional terms and conditions as determined by the Committee and shall be evidenced by an Award
Agreement.

ARTICLE 9.

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 a Covered 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 Covered 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 Covered Employees selected
by the Committee to receive Performance-Based Awards. The designation of a Covered 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 a Covered Employee as a Participant for a particular
Performance Period shall not require designation of such Covered Employee as a Participant in any
subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee as a Participant shall not
require designation of any other Covered 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 or 8 which may be granted to one or
more Covered 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 Covered Employees, (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 Covered Employee 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 a Covered
Employee, 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.

 

10

 

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. In determining the
amount earned under a Performance-Based Award, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of
the Performance-Based Award earned for the Performance Period, if in its sole and absolute
discretion, such reduction or elimination is appropriate.

9.5 Additional Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award
which is granted to a Covered 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.

ARTICLE 10.

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, unless and until such Award has been exercised,
or the shares of Stock underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to
such shares of Stock have lapsed, and any attempted disposition of an Award prior to the
satisfaction of these conditions shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that
such disposition is permitted by the immediately following sentence. 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 or, subject to the consent
of the Committee, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised, or the shares
of Stock underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares of
Stock have lapsed. 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.

 

11

 

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 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).

10.6 Paperless Exercise. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or
using the services of a third party, an automated system for the exercise of Awards, such as a
system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless exercise of
Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

ARTICLE 11.

CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

11.1 Adjustments.

(a) In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares,
merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company
assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the shares of Stock or the share price
of the Stock other than an Equity Restructuring, the Committee shall make equitable
adjustments, if any, to reflect such change with respect to (i) the aggregate number and
kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments
of the limitations in Section 3.1 above on the maximum number and kind of shares which may
be issued under the Plan, adjustments of the award limits under Section 3.3 of the Plan and
adjustments of the manner in which shares subject to Full Value Awards will be counted);
(ii) the number and kind of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) subject to
outstanding Awards; (iii) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including,
without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto);
and (iv) the grant or exercise price per share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan.

(b) In the event of any transaction or event described in Section 11.1(a) or any
unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company, any affiliate of the
Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any affiliate, or of changes in
applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, the Committee, in its sole
discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of
the Award 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 whenever the Committee determines that such action is
appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential
benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award under the
Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws,
regulations or principles:

 

12

 

(i) To provide for either (A) termination of any such Award in exchange for an
amount of cash, 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, 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 having an aggregate value not exceeding the
amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization
of the Participant’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or
fully vested;

(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;

(iii) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of the 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 price), and the criteria included in,
outstanding Awards 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) In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Sections 11.1(a) and 11.1(b) above:

(i) The number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and the
exercise price or grant price thereof, if applicable, shall be equitably adjusted.
The adjustments provided under this Section 11.1(c) shall be nondiscretionary and
shall be final and binding on the affected Participant and the Company.

(ii) The Committee shall make such equitable adjustments, if any, as the
Committee in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring
with respect to the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the
Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3.1 on
the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued under the Plan, adjustments
of the award limits under Section 3.3 of the Plan and adjustments of the manner in
which shares subject to Full Value Awards will be counted).

(d) The Committee may, in its sole discretion, include such further provisions and
limitations in any Award, agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best
interests of the Company that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

(e) With respect to Awards which are granted to Covered Employees and are intended to
qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, no adjustment or action described in this Section
11.1 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such
adjustment or action would cause such Award to fail to so qualify as Performance-Based
Compensation, unless the Committee determines that the Award should not so qualify. No
adjustment or action described in this Section 11.1 or in any other provision of the Plan
shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause the Plan to
violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code. Furthermore, no such adjustment or action shall be
authorized to the extent such adjustment or action would result in short-swing profits
liability under Section 16 or violate the exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the
Committee determines that the Award is not to comply with such exemptive conditions.

(f) The existence of the Plan, the Award Agreement and the Awards granted hereunder
shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or the
stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization,
reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any
merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights
to purchase stock or of
bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or
affect the Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for
Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or
any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a
similar character or otherwise.

 

13

 

(g) No action shall be taken under this Section 11.1 which shall cause an Award to fail
to comply with Section 409A of the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder, to the
extent applicable to such Award.

11.2 Acceleration Upon a Change in Control.

(a) With respect to an Award granted prior to November 2, 2009:

(i) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any applicable
Award Agreement or other written agreement entered into between the Company and a
Participant, if a Change in Control occurs then, immediately prior to the Change in Control,
all Awards outstanding under the Plan shall become fully vested and exercisable and all
forfeiture restrictions on such Awards shall lapse. Subject to the foregoing, upon, or in
anticipation of, a Change in Control, the Committee may cause any and all Awards outstanding
hereunder to terminate at a specific time in the future, including but not limited to the
date of such Change in Control, and may give each Participant the right to exercise such
Awards during a period of time as the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall
determine. In the event that the terms of any agreement between the Company or any Company
subsidiary or affiliate and a Participant contains provisions that conflict with and are
more restrictive than the provisions of this Section 11.2(a), this Section 11.2(a) shall
prevail and control and the more restrictive terms of such agreement (and only such terms)
shall be of no force or effect.

(b) With respect to an Award granted on or after November 2, 2009:

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a Change in
Control, each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent Award substituted
by the surviving or successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving
or successor corporation.

(ii) In the event that the surviving or successor corporation in a Change in
Control declines for any reason to assume or provide an equivalent substitute for any
Award, as determined by the pre-Change in Control Committee in its sole discretion,
the Committee shall cause all forfeiture restrictions applicable to such Award to
lapse and such Award shall become fully vested and, as applicable, exercisable
immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. If an Award’s applicable
forfeiture restrictions lapse and such Award becomes vested (and exercisable, as
applicable) in lieu of assumption or substitution of an equivalent award in
connection with a Change in Control, the Committee shall notify the Participant that
the Award will be deemed to be exercised, if applicable, and, in any event, settled
upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, and the Award shall terminate upon the
Change in Control in exchange for payment of the consideration payable in the Change
in Control for such fully vested (and exercised, if applicable) Award.

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.

ARTICLE 12.

ADMINISTRATION

Code, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder, are required to be determined in the sole
discretion of the Committee. Committee members may resign at any time by delivering written notice
to the Board. Vacancies in the Committee may only be filled by the Board.

12.2 Action by the Committee. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum.
The acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, and acts
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 to that member by any officer or other employee of the
Company or any Subsidiary, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive
compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the

restrictions or limitations on the Award, any schedule for lapse of forfeiture restrictions
or restrictions on the exercisability of an Award, and accelerations or waivers thereof, any
provisions related to non-competition and recapture of gain on an Award, based in each case
on such considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion determines; provided,
however, that the Committee shall not have the authority to accelerate the vesting or waive
the forfeiture of any Performance-Based Awards;

(e) Determine whether, to what extent, and pursuant to what circumstances an Award may
be settled in, or the exercise price of an Award may be paid in, cash, Stock, other Awards,

Committee with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and conclusive on all parties.

12.5 Delegation of Authority. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Committee may from time to time

Company who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, (b) Covered Employees, or (c) officers
of the Company (or members of the Board) to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been
delegated hereunder. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that
the Committee specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Committee may at any time rescind
the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under
this Section 12.5 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Committee.

ARTICLE 13.

EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATE

13.1 Effective Date. The Original Plan was submitted to and approved by the
Company’s stockholders on May 18, 2009. The Plan, as amended and restated, is effective as of the
date on which the Company’s stockholders approve the Plan. The Plan, as amended and restated, will
be deemed to be approved by the stockholders if a quorum is present at a stockholder meeting duly
held in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Company’s Bylaws and the votes cast in
favor of the Plan exceed the votes cast opposing the Plan. In the event that the Plan, as amended
and restated, is not approved by the Company’s stockholders, then the Original Plan shall continue
on its existing terms and conditions and the modifications to the Original Plan effected by this
amendment and restatement shall not take effect.

to the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, except that no Incentive Stock
Options may be granted under the Plan after the earlier of the tenth anniversary of (i) the date
the Plan is approved by the Board or (ii) the Effective Date. Any Awards that are outstanding on
the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date shall remain in force according to the terms of the
Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

ARTICLE 14.

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION

14.1 Amendment, Modification, and Termination. Subject to Section 15.14, 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, (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), or (ii) results in
a material increase in benefits or a change in eligibility requirements, and (c) no amendment to
the Plan shall permit the Committee to grant Options or SARs with an exercise price or base price,
as applicable, that is below Fair Market Value on the date of grant or to extend the exercise
period for an Option or SAR beyond ten years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding any provision
in this Plan to the contrary, (A) no Option or SAR may be amended to reduce the per share exercise
price or base price, as applicable, of the shares subject to such Option or SAR below the per share
exercise price or base price as of the date the Option or SAR is granted, and (B) no Option or SAR
may be granted in exchange for, or in connection with, the cancellation or surrender of an Option
or SAR having a higher per share exercise price or base price.

14.2 Awards Previously Granted. Except with respect to amendments made pursuant to
Section 15.14, no 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.

ARTICLE 15.

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.

 

16

 

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 employment tax
obligations) 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.

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 and 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 under 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.

 

17

 

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, 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, 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 California.

15.14 Section 409A. To the extent applicable, the Plan and all Award Agreements
shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury
regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any
such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding
any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Board
determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of
Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the
Effective Date), the Board may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement
or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with
retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Board determines are necessary or
appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax
treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements
of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance and thereby avoid the
application of any penalty taxes under such Section; provided, however, that this Section 15.14
does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to adopt any such amendment, policy or
procedure or take any such other action or to indemnify any Participant with regard to any such
action or inaction.

SECTION 2: PREMISES AND TERM

2.1 Lease of Premises. Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant leases the
Premises from Landlord, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease.

2.2 Rentable Areas. The Rentable Areas of the Premises and the Building as specified in
Section 1 are final, conclusive and controlling for all purposes. A portion of the Building common
areas is included in the Rentable Area of the Premises.

2.3 Lease Term. The Lease Term shall be for the period stated in the definition of that
term, unless earlier terminated as provided in this Lease.

2.4 Renewal Option.

     2.4.1 Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease for one (1) additional extension term
of three (3) years. Such renewal option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice given by
Tenant to Landlord not later than six (6) months and not more than twelve (12) months prior to
expiration of the Lease Term. Timely delivery of notice of exercise of this renewal option shall
act to automatically extend the Lease Term for three years upon the same terms and conditions as
this Lease, except for the amount of Base Rent, which shall be calculated pursuant to this Section
and confirmed by a subsequent document executed by Landlord and Tenant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this renewal option shall be null and void and Tenant shall have no right to renew this
Lease if (i) on the date Tenant exercises such renewal option or as of the date immediately
preceding the commencement date of the renewal period, Tenant is in default beyond applicable
notice and cure periods of any of its obligations under this Lease; and (ii) at no time prior to
the expiration of the initial Lease Term shall there have been any assignment or subletting of the
Premises that shall remain in effect after the expiration of the initial Lease Term, except for
Permitted Transfers (as defined below).

     2.4.2 If Tenant exercises this renewal option, then during the renewal period the Base Rent
payable by Tenant shall be the then Fair Market Rent for the Premises. For purposes of this
paragraph, the term “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the rental rate for comparable space for a
renewal term with an existing tenant, situated in comparable office and light warehouse buildings
in comparable business parks in the Hayward, California market area, taking into account tenant
improvement packages and any other customary concessions for renewals with existing tenants. Fair
Market Rent shall include the periodic rental increases, if any, that would be included for space
leased for the renewal period. The Fair Market Rent shall be negotiated by Landlord and Tenant
within the sixty (60) calendar day period commencing upon Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice
exercising the renewal option.

     2.4.3 If the parties cannot agree on the Fair Market Rent within the sixty (60) day period
after the date of Tenant’s notice to Landlord, Landlord shall, no more than fifteen (15) calendar
days thereafter, select an independent M.A.I. real estate appraiser (certified in the State of
California) with at least ten (10) years experience in the Hayward, California commercial real
estate market, who shall prepare a written appraisal of the Fair Market Rent using the assumptions
described in this paragraph. The appraisal report shall be completed and delivered to Tenant and
Landlord within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date Landlord selects the appraiser. Such
appraiser’s determination of Fair Market Rent shall be determinative unless Tenant disputes it as
provided in the next sentence. If Tenant disputes such appraisal, Tenant shall within ten (10)
calendar days following delivery of the appraisal report, deliver to Landlord written notice (a)
that Tenant disputes such appraisal report, and (b) of the identity of the appraiser selected by
Tenant meeting the qualifications set forth in this paragraph. The appraiser selected by Tenant
shall submit his appraisal report of the Fair Market Rent using the assumptions described in this
paragraph within fifteen (15) calendar days following the delivery of Tenant’s notice to

2

 

Landlord disputing the initial appraisal. If the two appraisals are within five percent (5%) of
each other (based on the higher number), the Fair Market Rent shall be the higher of the two
appraisals. If not, then within ten (10) calendar days after the delivery of the second appraisal,
the two appraisers shall appoint a third appraiser meeting the qualifications set forth in this
Section, and the third appraiser shall deliver his decision within ten (10) calendar days following
his selection and acceptance of the appraisal assignment. If the two appraisers fail to select a
third qualified appraiser, the third appraiser shall be appointed by the then presiding judge of
the county where the Premises are located upon application by either party. The third appraiser
shall be limited in authority to selecting, in his opinion, which of the two earlier appraisal
determinations best reflects the Fair Market Rent under the assumptions set forth in this
paragraph. The third appraiser must choose one of the two earlier appraisals, and, upon doing so,
the third appraiser’s determination shall be the controlling determination of the Fair Market Rent.
Each party shall pay the costs and fees of the appraiser it selected; if a third appraiser is
selected, the party whose appraisal is not selected to be the Fair Market Rent by said third
appraiser shall pay all of said appraiser’s costs and fees.

2.5 Termination Option. Tenant shall have the one-time right to terminate this Lease
(“Termination Right”) as of the last day of the twenty-fourth (24th) month of the Lease
Term (the “Termination Date”) by providing Landlord with not less than nine (9) months’
prior written notice. As a condition to the effectiveness of the Termination Right, Tenant must
satisfy all of the following requirements, satisfaction of which shall mean that the Lease will
terminate on the Termination Date with the same force and effect as if such date were the date
originally established in this Lease for the expiration of the Lease Term:

     2.5.1 As of the date that Tenant notifies Landlord of Tenant’s exercise of this Termination
Right and as of the Termination Date, there shall be no monetary Event of Default (beyond the
expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods) by Tenant under this Lease and there shall
have occurred no act or omission which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both,
would become an Event of Default by Tenant under the Lease;

     2.5.2 [Intentionally omitted];

     2.5.3 At the time Tenant gives written notice to Landlord as provided for in subpart 2.5.1
above, Tenant shall have paid Landlord a termination fee, equal to the unamortized portions of the
Tenant Improvement Allowance and leasing commissions, which shall be amortized over the Lease Term
at an annual interest rate of 8%, and repayment of the initial two (2) months of abated rent. The
amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be set forth in a written notice from Landlord to
Tenant, as soon as the amount is determined; and

     2.5.4 Upon termination of the Lease pursuant to this paragraph, Tenant shall surrender and
vacate the Premises to Landlord as provided for in this Lease. All rights and obligations of
Landlord and Tenant, unless expressly stated herein to survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, shall cease to exist as of the Termination Date.

2.6 Physical Condition of Premises.

     2.6.1 Tenant (a) accepts the Premises, the Building and the Project in its current AS IS
condition, and (b) acknowledges that Tenant is not relying on any representations or warranties by
any person regarding the Premises or the Building except as specifically set forth in this Lease.

     2.6.2 Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, (a) as of the Commencement Date and
for the first twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, all Building systems shall be operational and
in good condition and repair; (b) to Landlord’s actual knowledge, as of the date of this Lease the
Building and the Premises are in material compliance with all applicable Governmental Requirements;
(c) Landlord is the fee owner of the Building; and (d) as of the date of this Lease, Landlord has
no actual knowledge of any material defects in the Premises or the Building which would
unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises for the Permitted Use. In
the event of any breach of any of Landlord’s warranties in this Section 2.6.2, Landlord shall
promptly rectify the same at its sole cost and expense.

2.7 Tenant Improvement Allowance.

     2.7.1 Landlord shall provide a Tenant Improvement Allowance of Seventeen and 50/100 Dollars
($17.50) per rentable square feet for the Premises. The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be
applied to the hard and soft construction costs incurred by Tenant, including but not limited to,
architectural services, cabling, furniture, electrical, signage, Tenant’s construction management
fees and any security system associated with the Premises and may used by Tenant to offset moving
costs. If the sum of Tenant’s actual hard and soft costs associated with the Tenant improvements
to the Premises is less than the Tenant Improvement Allowance, then up to Five and No/100 Dollars
($5.00) per rentable

3

 

square foot (such amount being the difference between the $17.50/RSF allowance and the amount
actually expended per rentable square feet) shall be applied as a credit against the Base Rent and
Operating Costs Reimbursements due immediately after the eighteenth (18th) month of the Lease Term.

     2.7.2 At Tenant’s option, Landlord shall pay all or any portion of the Tenant Improvement
Allowance directly to third parties, including but not limited to, contractors, architects and
other consultants, based on billing invoices approved in advance in writing by Tenant.

2.8 Construction of Tenant Improvements.

     2.8.1 Tenant shall retain a licensed architect of its choice, subject to Landlord’s prior
written approval, to prepare the Plans and Specifications for the Tenant Improvements. The Plans
and Specifications shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably delayed, provided that such Plans and Specifications comply with the requirements of
this paragraph.

     2.8.2 Within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of execution of the Lease by
Tenant, Tenant shall cause its architect to furnish to Landlord for Landlord’s approval space plans
sufficient to convey the architectural design of the Premises, including, without limitation, the
location of doors, partitions, electrical and telephone outlets, plumbing fixtures, heavy floor
loads and other special requirements (collectively, the “Space Plan”). If required by
Landlord, Tenant’s architect shall consult with Landlord’s engineer in preparing the Space Plan,
and incorporate such engineer’s requirements into the Space Plan. If Landlord fails to disapprove
the Space Plan within the ten (10) day period following its receipt of the Space Plan, the Space
Plan shall be deemed approved. If Landlord shall disapprove of any portion of the Space Plan
within such ten (10) day period, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the reasons therefor and shall
notify Tenant of the revisions to the Space Plan that are reasonably required by Landlord for the
purpose of obtaining approval. Tenant shall within seven (7) days submit to Landlord, for
Landlord’s approval, a redesign of the Space Plan, incorporating the revisions required by Landlord
or proposing alternatives for Landlord’s consideration, which shall be undertaken pursuant to the
process set forth above.

     2.8.3 Tenant shall cause its architect to prepare from Tenant’s approved Space Plan, complete
Plans and Specifications within one hundred twenty (120) days after Landlord approves the Space
Plan. The Plans and Specifications shall (a) be compatible with the Building shell and with the
design, construction and equipment of the Building; (b) comply with all Governmental Requirements;
(c) comply with all applicable insurance regulations; and (d) be consistent with the approved Space
Plan. Tenant shall submit the Plans and Specifications for Landlord’s Approval in the same manner
and timeframe as provided in Subparagraph 2.8.2 above for approval by Landlord of Tenant’s Space
Plan.

     2.8.4 Tenant shall complete the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the approved Plans and
Specifications and all applicable Governmental Requirements and in accordance with the provisions
of Paragraph 5.8 (“Work Performance and Responsible Contracting”). Tenant shall provide an
exhibit depicting the intended Tenant Improvements to be attached as an exhibit to this Lease.
Landlord shall review and manage the construction of the Tenant Improvements for a construction
management fee of one and fifty percent (1.5%) of actual hard construction costs.

     2.8.5 If Landlord requires performance or payment bonds, they shall be provided at Landlord’s
sole cost and expense, and shall not be funded from the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

     2.8.6 All Tenant Improvements, regardless of which party constructed or paid for them, shall
become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises on the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall not be responsible for any
restoration (or removal) of its initial Tenant Improvements completed in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 2.8 at the expiration of the Lease Term other than its Telecommunication
Facilities (as defined in Section 4.1.2).

2.9 Commencement Date. The Commencement Date shall be August 1, 2011. Tenant agrees to
sign a Commencement Date Memorandum in the form of Exhibit E, when prepared by Landlord.

2.10 Use and Conduct of Business.

     2.10.1 The Premises are to be used only for general business office and research and
development uses (the “Permitted Uses”). Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, obtain
and maintain any and all licenses, permits, and approvals necessary or appropriate for its
particular use, occupation and operation of the Premises for the Permitted Uses.

     2.10.2 No act shall be done in or about the Premises that is unlawful or that will increase
the existing rate of insurance on the Land or Building. Tenant shall not commit or allow to be
committed or exist: (a) any waste upon the Premises, (b) any public or private nuisance, or (c) any
act or condition

4

 

which disturbs the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in the Building, or materially and
unreasonably interferes in any way with the business of Landlord or any other tenant in the
Building.

2.11 Compliance with Governmental Requirements and Rules and Regulations. Subject to
Section 4.2 below, Tenant shall comply with all Governmental Requirements relating to its
particular use, occupancy and operation of the Premises and shall observe such reasonable rules and
regulations as may be adopted and published by Landlord from time to time. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall not be responsible for compliance with any
Governmental Requirements where such compliance would require capital expenditures, or is not
related specifically to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises. For example, if any
Governmental Agency should require the Building or Premises to be structurally strengthened against
earthquake, or should require the removal of asbestos from the Premises and such measures are
imposed as a general requirement applicable to all tenants rather than as a condition to Tenant’s
specific use or occupancy of the Premises, such work shall be performed by Landlord and the cost
thereof shall be an Operating Costs to the extent provided in Section R1.4 of Rider 1
hereto. Current Rules and Regulations are attached to this Lease as Exhibit C.
“Governmental Requirements” are any and all statutes, ordinances, codes, laws, rules,
regulations, orders and directives of any Governmental Agency as now or later amended, promulgated
or issued and all current or future final orders, judgments or decrees of any court with
jurisdiction interpreting or enforcing any of the foregoing. A “Governmental Agency” is
the United States of America, the state in which the Land is located, any county, city, district,
municipality or other governmental subdivision, court or agency or quasi-governmental agency with
jurisdiction and any board, agency or authority associated with any such governmental entity.

2.12 Green Agency Ratings. The Building may become certified under a Green Agency Rating
(as hereinafter defined) or operated pursuant to Landlord’s sustainable building practices, as the
same may be in effect or modified from time to time. Landlord’s sustainability practices address,
without limitation, whole building operations and maintenance issues including chemical use, indoor
air quality, energy efficiency, water efficiency, recycling programs, exterior maintenance
programs, and systems upgrades to meet green building energy, water, indoor air quality, and
lighting performance standards. Tenant will use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts not to
use or operate the Premises in a manner that will cause the Premises not to conform with Landlord’s
sustainability practices or the certification of the Building by a Green Agency Rating; provided,
however, Tenant may endeavor, at no cost or expense to Tenant, to follow such practices. Landlord
reserves the right to change electricity providers for the Building at any time and to purchase
green or renewable energy. To the extent commercially reasonable, all construction, maintenance
and repairs made by Tenant shall comply with Landlord’s sustainability practices and with the
minimum standards and specifications as outlined by the Green Agency Rating in addition to all
Governmental Requirements. Tenant shall use proven energy and carbon reduction measures, including
energy efficient bulbs in task lighting; use of lighting controls; daylighting measures to avoid
overlighting interior spaces; closing shades on the south side of the Building to avoid
over-heating the space; turning off lights and equipment at the end of the work day; and purchasing
Energy Star qualified equipment, including but not limited to lighting, office equipment, kitchen
equipment, vending and ice machines; and purchasing products certified by the U.S. EPA’s WaterSense
program. As used herein, “Green Agency Rating” means any one or more of the following ratings, as
the same may be in effect or amended or supplemented from time to time: the U.S. EPA’s Energy Star
rating and/or Design to Earn Energy Star, the Green Building Initiative’s Green Globes for
Continual Improvement of Existing Buildings (Green Globes-CIEB), the U.S. Green Building Council’s
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, LEED EBOM (existing buildings
operations and maintenance) and any applicable substitute third party or government mandated rating
systems

2.13 Relocation. Intentionally omitted.

2.14 Holdover. Base Rent shall increase on the expiration or termination of this Lease to
an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent prevailing immediately prior
to the expiration or termination (a) if and for so long as Landlord has authorized Tenant to
holdover or (b) if Tenant wrongfully refuses to relinquish possession of the Premises upon such
expiration or termination. The increase in Base Rent under clause (b) of the preceding sentence is
an agreed increase in Base Rent, is not liquidated damages and shall not limit the right of
Landlord to recover direct and consequential damages for the Tenant’s violation of this paragraph
or to exercise other rights and remedies provided under applicable law for Tenant’s wrongful
refusal to surrender possession.

SECTION 3: BASE RENT, OPERATING COSTS REIMBURSEMENTS AND OTHER SUMS PAYABLE UNDER LEASE

3.1 Payment of Rental. Tenant agrees to pay Base Rent, Operating Costs Reimbursements
(defined in Rider 1) and any other sum payable under this Lease to Landlord when due
without demand, deduction, credit, adjustment or offset of any kind. All such payments shall be in
lawful money of the United States and shall be paid to Landlord or to Manager or to such other
place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

3.2 Base Rent. On execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount
specified in the definition of Prepaid Rent for the month specified in the definition of that term.
Monthly installments of Base Rent shall be paid, without demand and in advance, on or before the
first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term. The monthly Base Rent installment for any
partial month at the beginning or end of the Lease Term shall be prorated. Subject to abatement,
Base Rent for any partial month at the beginning of the Lease Term shall be paid by Tenant on the
Commencement Date.

3.3 Security Deposit. All sums payable under this Lease (including Base Rent and Operating
Costs Reimbursements) shall be considered Rent and all rights and remedies available pursuant to
law for non-payment of rent shall apply. Tenant has deposited with Landlord or Manager the sum set
forth in the blank opposite the words “Security Deposit” in Section 1 of this Lease (the
“Security Deposit”) to secure Tenant’s performance of this Lease. If Tenant defaults in
any payment or performance due under this Lease, Landlord, in its absolute discretion and without
prejudice in its other rights or remedies, may apply the Security Deposit, in whole or in part, to
the payment of sums due from Tenant as a result of such default. If such application cures the
default, Tenant shall within ten (10) days from demand, deposit with Landlord the sum necessary to
restore the Security Deposit to the specified amount. If Tenant has fully performed under this
Lease, the remainder of the Security Deposit shall be repaid to Tenant, without interest, within
thirty (30) days after the expiration of this Lease, such obligation of Landlord surviving the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If the Land and the Building are sold or
transferred by Landlord, Tenant shall look solely to the successor Landlord for the return of the
remainder of the Security Deposit, provided Landlord has turned over or credited the amount of the
Security Deposit to such successor landlord.

3.4 Operating Costs Reimbursements. The definition “Operating Costs
Reimbursements” and the provisions of this Lease applicable to Operating Costs Reimbursements
are set forth in Rider 1.

3.5 Late Charge. If Tenant fails to make any payment of Base Rent, or other amount when
due under this Lease, a late charge is immediately due and payable by Tenant equal to five percent
(5%) of the amount of any such payment but Landlord will waive the late charge for the first such
failure occurring during any calendar year during the Lease Term. Landlord and Tenant agree that
this charge compensates Landlord for the administrative costs caused by the late payment.

3.6 Default Rate. Any Base Rent, Operating Costs Reimbursements or other sum payable under
this Lease which is not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of: (a)
the published prime or reference rate then in effect at a national banking institution designated
by Landlord (the “Prime Rate”), plus two (2) percentage points, or (b) the maximum rate of
interest per annum permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”).

SECTION 4: SERVICES AND REPAIR

4.1 Utilities and Services.

     4.1.1 Tenant shall contract directly for all utilities and services to the Premises, including
the following: (a) electricity and gas; (b) heating, ventilation and air-conditioning services
(“HVAC”); (c) hot and cold domestic water, wastewater and sewage service at the points now
existing in the Premises or as specified for initial Tenant Improvements (where applicable); (d)
Telecommunication services; (e) cleaning and janitorial service; and (f) refuse/trash removal.
Tenant shall select the company or companies providing such utility and other services described in
this subparagraph.

     4.1.2 Landlord will provide only a suitable connection for usual and customary voice telephone
and internet services at the designated locations in the Building. All connection, installation,
usage charges, maintenance and repair charges for such telephone service shall be Tenant’s
responsibility. Installation of Telecommunication Facilities beyond those specified as Landlord’s
responsibility under the first sentence shall be the responsibility of Tenant except to the extent
the Initial Tenant Improvements

6

 

include Telecommunication Facilities. “Telecommunication Facilities” are defined as
equipment, apparatus, installations, facilities and other materials utilized for the purposes of
electronic communication, whether wireless or wired, including cable, switches, conduit, sleeves
and wiring. Tenant shall be required to remove all Telecommunication Facilities, at Tenant’s
expense, on the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease in accordance with paragraph 5.3
(“Removal of Property”).

     4.1.3 Tenant acknowledges that space on the Building rooftop and in Building risers, equipment
rooms and equipment closets is limited. Unless otherwise required by law, neither Tenant nor a
provider of telecommunication services to Tenant shall be entitled to locate or install
Telecommunication Facilities in, on or about the Building without first obtaining Landlord’s
advance, written consent (given in its reasonable discretion).

     4.1.4 Landlord shall in no case be liable or in any way be responsible for damages (including
consequential damages) or the loss to Tenant of utilities or other services arising from the
failure of, diminution of or interruption of any kind to the Premises, unless (a) such interruption
in, deprivation of or reduction of any such service was caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord, its agents or contractors or by the uncured breach of this Lease by
Landlord, and (b) any such claims are not covered by the business interruption insurance required
of Tenant by this Lease. To the extent that Landlord bears any responsibility for the foregoing,
Landlord’s responsibility and Tenant’s remedy shall be limited to an abatement in Base Rent for the
period beginning with (a) the day which is three (3) consecutive days after the date on which
Tenant delivers notice to Landlord of such interruption, deprivation or reduction and of the fact
that Tenant is being deprived of all reasonable use of the Premises and ending on (b) the date such
interruption, deprivation or reduction which is Landlord’s responsibility is no longer causing
Tenant to be deprived of all reasonable use of the Premises.

4.2 Maintenance and Repair by Landlord. Subject to the paragraph 5.5 (“Damage or
Destruction”) and paragraph 5.6 (“Condemnation”), Landlord shall maintain the roof,
roof membrane, load-bearing and exterior walls and structural elements of the Building, public and
common areas of the Building, plate glass and the Building systems in good order and condition
subject to reasonable use and wear. The costs of such maintenance and repair are Operating Costs
as defined in subparagraph R1.4.1 of Rider 1. Landlord, at its sole cost, shall also be
responsible on an ongoing basis during the Lease Term for any necessary improvements to the
Building shell to comply with building code, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990
(“ADA”), and seismic requirements, provided such ADA compliance is not triggered by
Tenant’s Alterations during the Lease Term. These code compliance costs shall not be allocated as
Operating Costs of the Building or passed through to Tenant. In addition, Landlord, at its sole
cost and not as an Operating Cost, shall be responsible for the demising and separate metering of
all utilities and building systems.

4.3 Maintenance and Repair by Tenant. Except as specified to be Landlord’s responsibility
under paragraph 4.1 (“Utilities and Services”) and paragraph 4.2 (“Maintenance and
Repair by Landlord”), and except for reasonable wear and tear, casualty and condemnation,
Tenant shall keep the Premises in good condition and repair. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that Tenant would be required by this Section to make a repair or replacement that would be
considered a “capital improvement” as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, Landlord shall make such repair or replacement and charge Tenant, as an Operating Cost,
the cost thereof, provided that the cost of such repair or replacement shall be amortized over its
useful life and only the amortized portion of such cost shall be included in Operating Costs on a
monthly basis. Tenant shall be responsible for replacing light bulbs and ballasts within the
Premises. Tenant shall enter into all contracts for all repairs and services related to operating
the Premises. (See Paragraph 4.1 for additional responsibilities by Tenant.) Tenant agrees to
notify Landlord immediately if water or moisture conditions from any source (including leaks) are
discovered and to allow Landlord to evaluate and make recommendations and/or take appropriate
corrective action.

4.4 Common Areas/Security. The common areas of the Building and the Project shall be under
Landlord’s sole management and control. Landlord has no duty or obligation to provide any security
services in, on or around the Premises, Land, Building or Project, and Tenant recognizes that
security services, if any, provided by Landlord will be for the sole benefit of Landlord and the
protection of Landlord’s property.

4.5. Signage. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to the maximum
building top signage on the Premises and to Building, entry, and monument/directional signage in
accordance with

7

 

Landlord’s signage criteria without additional rental charges. All such signage shall be subject
to the reasonable approval of Landlord and any required Governmental Agencies.

SECTION 5: OCCUPANCY PROVISIONS

5.1 Tenant Alterations. Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any alterations,
additions, improvements or installations in or to the Premises (including Telecommunication
Facilities), or place signs or other displays visible from outside the Premises (individually and
collectively “Tenant Alterations”), without first obtaining the consent of Landlord which
may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s
request within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of Tenant’s request, Tenant shall give Landlord
a second notice. Landlord’s failure to respond to Tenant’s second notice within ten (10) days
after the receipt of Tenant’s request shall be deemed to be Landlord’s approval of the proposed
Tenant Alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written
consent, but with prior notice thereto, shall be permitted to make non-structural Tenant
Alterations to the Building, provided that (a) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord in writing
approximately thirty (30) days prior to commencement of the Tenant Alterations a general
description of the Tenant Alterations Tenant intends to make, (b) the cost of such Tenant
Alteration does not exceed Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) individually, (c)
Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days of completion of the Tenant
Alteration and deliver to Landlord a set of the plans and specifications therefor, either
“as-built” or marked to show construction changes made, and (d) Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s
request made within ten (10) days after the notice referred to in clause (c), remove the Tenant
Alteration at the termination of the Lease and restore the Premises to their condition prior to
such Tenant Alteration. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord complete plans and specifications for any
proposed Tenant Alterations and, if consent by Landlord is given, all such work shall be performed
at Tenant’s expense by Landlord or, with Landlord’s consent, by Tenant. Tenant shall be authorized
to perform Tenant Alterations only to the extent and under such terms and conditions as Landlord,
in its absolute discretion, shall specify which, in all events, shall include compliance with
paragraph 5.8 (“Work Performance and Responsible Contracting”). All Tenant Alterations
performed by Tenant shall be (1) completed in accordance with the plans and specifications approved
by Landlord; (2) completed in accordance with all Governmental Requirements; (3) carried out
promptly in a good and workmanlike manner; (4) of all new materials; and (5) free of defects in
materials and workmanship.

5.2 Surrender of Possession. Tenant shall, at the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease, surrender and deliver the Premises to Landlord (a) in as good condition as when
received by Tenant from Landlord or as later improved, reasonable use and wear, casualty and
condemnation excepted, and (b) free from any tenancy or occupancy by any person.

5.3 Removal of Property. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant
may remove its personal property, office supplies and office furniture and equipment if (a) such
items are readily moveable and are not attached to the Premises; (b) such removal is completed
prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; and (c) Tenant immediately repairs
all damage caused by or resulting from such removal. All Tenant Alterations shall become the
property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises, unless Landlord
requires their removal at the time Landlord grants consent to the construction of such Tenant
Alterations. In no event shall Tenant have any obligation to remove the initial Tenant
Improvements (other than Telecommunication Facilities) at the expiration of the Lease as required
by Section 2.8 above. If removal is required, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove
all (or such portion as Landlord shall designate) of the Tenant Alterations, repair any damages
resulting from such removal and return the Premises to the same condition as existed prior to such
Tenant Alterations.

5.4 Building Hours/Access. Tenant shall have access to the Building seven (7) days per
week, twenty-four (24) hours per day, fifty-two (52) weeks a year. Tenant shall permit Landlord
and Landlord’s Affiliates (defined in paragraph 6.1) to enter into the Premises at any time on
reasonable prior written notice (no less than forty-eight (48) hours prior to such entry, except in
case of emergency in which case no notice shall be required) for the purposes of inspection or for
the purpose of repairing, altering or improving the Premises or the Building. When reasonably
necessary, Landlord may temporarily close Building or Land entrances, Building doors or other
facilities, but Landlord shall use good faith efforts to minimize disruption to Tenant’s business
and shall, in all cases, provide continued access to the Premises. Landlord shall have the right
on reasonable notice to enter the Premises during the last nine

8

 

(9) months of the Lease Term for the purpose of showing the Premises to prospective tenants and to
erect on the Premises a suitable sign indicating the Premises are available.

5.5 Damage or Destruction.

     5.5.1 If the Premises are damaged by fire, earthquake or other casualty (“Casualty”),
Tenant shall give immediate written notice to Landlord. If Landlord estimates that the damage can
be repaired to meet Tenant’s business needs within one hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord is
notified by Tenant of such damage and if there are sufficient insurance proceeds available to
repair such damage (net of any deductible), then Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence
to restore the Premises to substantially the condition which existed prior to the damage and this
Lease shall not terminate. If neither circumstance described in the previous sentence exists,
Landlord may elect, in its absolute discretion, to either: (a) terminate this Lease or (b) restore
the Premises to substantially the condition which existed prior to the damage and this Lease will
continue. Notice of Landlord’s election shall be delivered to Tenant within sixty (60) days after
the date Landlord receives written notice of the damage. Failure to deliver notice within the
specified period shall be treated as election not to restore. Tenant agrees to look to the
provider of Tenant’s insurance for coverage for the loss of Tenant’s use of the Premises and any
other related losses or damages incurred by Tenant during any reconstruction period following a
Casualty.

     5.5.2 If the Building is damaged by Casualty and more than fifty percent (50%) of the Building
is rendered untenantable, without regard to whether the Premises are affected by such damage,
Landlord may, in its absolute discretion, elect to terminate this Lease by notice in writing to
Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date Landlord receives written notice of the damage. Such
notice shall be effective twenty (20) days after delivery to Tenant unless a later date is set
forth in Landlord’s notice.

     5.5.3 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, (i) if Tenant’s use of
the Premises is substantially impaired for a period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days
after the date of Casualty, or during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term, then both Landlord
and Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to the other party at any
time thereafter until Tenant’s use of the Premises is substantially restored, and (ii) if this
Lease is terminated by either Landlord or Tenant due to a Casualty, then Tenant shall not be
required to pay for any insurance deductibles relating to such Casualty as part of Landlord’s
insurance cost or otherwise.

5.6 Condemnation. If more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises, or such portions of
the Building as may be required for the Tenant’s reasonable use of the Premises, are taken by
eminent domain or by conveyance in lieu thereof, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the
date the physical taking occurs, and all Base Rent, Operating Costs Reimbursements and other sums
payable under this Lease shall be paid to that date. In the case of a taking of a part of the
Premises or a portion of the Building not required for the Tenant’s reasonable use of the Premises,
this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the Base Rent shall be equitably reduced
based on the proportion by which the floor area of the Premises is reduced, such reduction in Base
Rent to be effective as of the date the physical taking occurs. Operating Costs Reimbursements
payments may be redetermined as equitable under the circumstances. Landlord reserves all rights to
damages or awards for any taking by eminent domain relating to the Premises, Building, Land and the
unexpired term of this Lease. Tenant assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may have to such damages
or award and Tenant shall make no claim against Landlord for damages for termination of its
leasehold interest or interference with Tenant’s business. Tenant shall have the right, however,
to claim and recover from the condemning authority compensation for any loss to which Tenant may be
entitled for Tenant’s moving expenses or other relocation costs if they are awarded separately to
Tenant in the eminent domain proceedings and are not claimed by Tenant to be a part of the damages
recoverable by Landlord.

5.7 Liens. Tenant shall have no authority, express or implied, to create or place any lien
or encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever upon the interest of Landlord or Tenant in the
Premises or to charge the rentals payable under this Lease for any Claims in favor of any person
dealing with Tenant, including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any
construction or repairs. If any such lien or encumbrance is filed or recorded, Tenant shall cause
it to be released or otherwise removed within five (5) days by a means or method approved by
Landlord.

5.8 Work Performance and Responsible Contracting.

     5.8.1 Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all alterations, additions, improvements, repairs
and installations made to or on the Premises (including any Initial Improvements and any Tenant
Alterations) shall be performed subject to contractual requirements applicable for the entire
duration of

9

 

the contract that the prime contractor and each and every subcontractor of every tier shall (a) be
a party to or bound by a collective bargaining agreement applicable to the geographic area in which
the Land is located, applicable to the trade or trades in which the work under the contract is to
be performed and entered with one or more labor organizations affiliated with the Building and
Construction Trades Department of the AFL-CIO or with an independent, nationally recognized labor
organization or one of its affiliated locals, and (b) solely employ members of such labor
organizations to perform work within their respective jurisdictions. The previous sentence shall
apply whether it is Landlord or Tenant performing or contracting for any such alterations,
additions, improvements or installations. Waivers or exceptions to the requirement in this
sentence may be given only in writing by Landlord. Landlord hereby approves Skyline Construction
as the general contractor.

     5.8.2 In addition to the requirements of the previous subparagraph, Tenant shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to contract for services to be performed in or about the Premises
with companies which are a “Responsible Contractor”. A “Responsible Contractor” is defined
as a contractor or subcontractor who pays workers a fair wage and Fair Benefits as evidenced by
payroll and employee records and who complies with a service-disabled veteran business policy.
“Fair Benefits” are defined as including employer-paid family health care coverage, pension
benefits, and apprenticeship programs.

5.9 Estoppel Certificate. On Landlord’s written request within ten (10) business days of
such request, Tenant shall timely complete, sign and deliver a certificate to an addressee
designated by Landlord stating (a) the material terms of this Lease, (b) whether any default
currently exists under the Lease, and (c) such other information as may reasonably be requested.

5.10 Utility Bills. In order to assist Landlord in monitoring the energy efficiency of the
Building, on Landlord’s request, Tenant shall timely deliver to Landlord a copy of Tenant’s utility
bills for the Premises and such other information related to Tenant’s use of utilities as may
reasonably be requested.

5.11 Modification for Lender. If, in connection with obtaining construction, interim or
permanent financing for the Building or Land, Landlord’s lender, if any, shall request reasonable
modifications to this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold
or delay its consent to such modifications; provided that, such modifications do not
increase the obligations of Tenant under this Lease or materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights
under this Lease.

5.12 Hazardous Substances.

     5.12.1 Landlord represents to Tenant that as of the execution date of this Lease, Landlord is
not aware of any Hazardous Substances prohibited by applicable Governmental Requirements located
in, on, or about the Premises, Building or the Project. Neither Tenant nor any of Tenant’s
Affiliates shall store, place, generate, manufacture, refine, handle, or locate on, in, under or
around the Land or Building any asbestos, PCBs, petroleum or petroleum-based chemicals or
substances, urea formaldehyde or any chemical, material, element, compound, solution, mixture,
substance or other matter of any kind whatsoever which is now or later defined, classified, listed,
designated or regulated as hazardous, toxic or radioactive by any Governmental Agency
(“Hazardous Substance”), except for storage, handling and use of reasonable quantities and
types of cleaning fluids, a generator with petroleum storage, office supplies and substances
necessary for Tenant’s drug research and development business in the Premises in the ordinary
course and the prudent conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises and in accordance with
applicable law. Tenant agrees that (a) the storage, handling and use of such permitted Hazardous
Substances must at all times conform to all Governmental Requirements and to applicable fire,
safety and insurance requirements; (b) the types and quantities of permitted Hazardous Substances
which are stored in the Premises must be reasonable and appropriate to the nature and size of
Tenant’s operation in the Premises and reasonable and appropriate for a first-class building of the
same or similar use and in the same market area as the Building; and (c) no Hazardous Substance
shall be spilled or disposed of on, in, under or around the Land or Building or otherwise
discharged from the Premises or any area adjacent to the Land or Building. In no event will Tenant
be permitted to store, handle or use on, in, under or around the Premises any Hazardous Substance
which will increase the rate of fire or extended coverage insurance on the Land or Building,
unless: (1) such Hazardous Substance and the expected rate increase have been specifically
disclosed in writing to Landlord; (2) Tenant has agreed in writing to pay any rate increase related
to each such Hazardous Substance; and (3) Landlord has approved in writing each such Hazardous
Substance, which approval shall be subject to Landlord’s discretion.

     5.12.2 Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord’s Agents from
and against any and all Claims arising out of any breach of any provision of this paragraph, which
expenses shall also include laboratory testing fees, personal injury claims, clean-up costs and

10

 

environmental consultants’ fees; provided, the foregoing shall not apply to the extent of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, or contractors or the uncured breach of
this Lease by Landlord. Tenant agrees that Landlord may be irreparably harmed by Tenant’s breach
of this paragraph and that a specific performance action may appropriately be brought by Landlord;
provided that, Landlord’s election to bring or not bring any such specific performance
action shall in no way limit, waive, impair or hinder Landlord’s other remedies against Tenant.

     5.12.3 As of the execution date of this Lease, Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord
that, except as otherwise disclosed by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant has no intent to bring any
Hazardous Substances on, in or under the Premises except for the type and quantities authorized in
Section 5.12.1.

5.13 Access Laws.

     5.13.1 Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the Commencement Date, to
Landlord’s actual knowledge, the Premises shall be in material compliance with the ADA (including
the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities) and all
other Governmental Requirements relating to the foregoing (collectively, “Access Laws”).

     5.13.2 Tenant agrees to notify Landlord immediately if Tenant receives notification or
otherwise becomes aware of: (a) any condition or situation on, in, under or around the Land or
Building which may constitute a violation of any Access Laws or (b) any threatened or actual lien,
action or notice that the Land or Building is not in compliance with any Access Laws. If Tenant is
responsible for such condition, situation, lien, action or notice under this paragraph, Tenant’s
notice to Landlord shall include a statement as to the actions Tenant proposes to take in response
to such condition, situation, lien, action or notice.

     5.13.3 Tenant shall not alter or permit any assignee or subtenant or any other person to alter
the Premises in any manner which would violate any Access Laws or increase Landlord’s
responsibilities for compliance with Access Laws, without the prior approval of the Landlord, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that such Tenant Alteration complies with the
provisions of Section 5.1 above and Tenant causes compliance with Access Laws. In connection with
any such approval, Landlord may require a certificate of compliance with Access Laws from an
architect, engineer or other person acceptable to Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay the reasonable
fees incurred by such architect, engineer or other third party in connection with the issuance of
such certificate of compliance. Landlord’s consent to any proposed Tenant Alteration shall (a) not
relieve Tenant of its obligations or indemnities contained in this paragraph or this Lease or (b)
be construed as a warranty that such proposed alteration complies with any Access Law.

     5.13.4 Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses relating to or incurred
in connection with bringing the Premises, the Building, or the common areas of the Building into
compliance with Access Laws, if and to the extent such noncompliance arises out of or relates to:
(1) Tenant’s specific use of the Premises, including the hiring of employees; (2) any Tenant
Alterations to the Premises; or (3) any Tenant Improvements constructed in the Premises at the
request of Tenant.

     5.13.5 Landlord shall be responsible for all costs and expenses relating to or incurred in
connection with bringing the common areas of the Building into compliance with Access Laws, unless
such costs and expenses are Tenant’s responsibility as provided in the preceding subparagraph.

     5.13.6 Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord’s Affiliates from
and against any and all claims arising out of or relating to any failure of Tenant or Tenant’s
Affiliates to comply with Tenant’s obligations under this paragraph.

     5.13.7 Subject to Section 4.2 above, the provisions of this paragraph shall supersede any
other provisions in this Lease regarding Access Laws, to the extent inconsistent with the
provisions of any other paragraphs.

5.14 Subordination. Tenant subordinates this Lease and all rights of Tenant under this
Lease to any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease or vendor’s lien, or similar instrument which
may from time to time be placed upon the Premises (and all renewals, modifications, replacements
and extensions of such encumbrances), and each such mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease or lien
or other instrument shall be superior to and prior to this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the holder or beneficiary of such mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, vendor’s lien or similar
instrument shall have the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated any such mortgage, deed
of trust, ground lease, vendor’s lien or similar instrument to this Lease or to execute a
non-disturbance agreement in favor of Tenant on the standard form utilized by such lender or ground
lessor. At the request of Landlord, the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust or any ground
lessor, Tenant shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver promptly in recordable form any customary instrument or
subordination agreement that Landlord or such holder

11

 

may request, provided that the agreement contains a commercially reasonable non-disturbance and
attornment agreement and does not materially increase Tenant’s obligations or decrease its rights
under this Lease. Tenant further covenants and agrees that if the lender or ground lessor acquires
the Premises as a purchaser at any foreclosure sale or otherwise, Tenant shall recognize and attorn
to such party as landlord under this Lease, and shall make all payments required hereunder to such
new landlord without deduction or set-off and, upon the request of such purchaser or other
successor, execute, deliver and acknowledge documents confirming such attornment. Tenant waives
the provisions of any law or regulation, now or hereafter in effect, which may give or purport to
give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease or the obligations of
Tenant hereunder in the event that any such foreclosure or termination or other proceeding is
prosecuted or completed.

SECTION 6: INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Indemnification. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord’s
Affiliates and the Manager from and against any and all Claims made against such persons, arising
solely out of (a) the possession, use or occupancy of the Premises or the business conducted in the
Premises, (b) any act, omission or actionable neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s Affiliates, or (c) any
breach or default under this Lease by Tenant or by any Tenant’s Affiliates. Tenant’s obligations
under the previous sentence shall not apply to the extent the Claim arises from intentional
misconduct by or actionable neglect of Landlord or Landlord’s Affiliates or uncured breach of this
Lease by Landlord. “Landlord’s Affiliates” are (i) the trustee of and, the investment
advisor to the Landlord and (ii) employees of the foregoing. “Tenant’s Affiliates” are all
officers, partners, contractors, employees and invitees of Tenant. “Claims” is an

(including attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding, whether at
trial or on appeal).

6.2 Tenant Insurance.

     6.2.1 Tenant shall, throughout the Lease Term, at its own expense, keep and maintain in full
force and effect each and every one of the following policies, each of which shall be endorsed as
needed to provide that the insurance afforded by these policies is primary and that all insurance
carried by Landlord is strictly excess and secondary and shall not contribute with Tenant’s
liability insurance:

then, entire current replacement cost of such property.

          (c) Business interruption insurance in an amount sufficient to cover costs, damages, lost
income, expenses, Base Rent, Operating Costs Reimbursements and all other sums payable under this
Lease, should any or all of the Premises not be usable for a period of up to twelve (12) months.

          (d) A policy of worker’s compensation insurance if and as required by applicable law and

policies. There shall be

12

 

no deductible amount applicable with respect to the insurance policy requirements in part (a) of
the previous subparagraph unless approved in advance by Landlord. Deductibles under policies
procured under the requirements of clause (b) of subparagraph 6.2.1 must be reasonable and
customary. There shall be no self-insured retention with respect to the requirements in either
part (a) or (b) of the previous subparagraph unless approved in advance by Landlord.

     6.2.3 If Tenant fails to acquire or maintain any insurance or provide evidence of insurance
required by this paragraph, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, obtain such insurance or
evidence and the costs associated with obtaining such insurance or evidence shall be payable by
Tenant to Landlord on demand.

replacement value of such property.

     (c) Landlord may, but shall not be required to, maintain other types of insurance as Landlord
deems appropriate, including property insurance coverage for earthquakes and floods in such amounts
as Landlord deems appropriate.

6.4 Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary,
Landlord and Tenant each waive and release the other from any and all Claims or any loss or damage
that may occur to the Land, Building, Premises, or personal property located on or in the described
Premises, by reason of Casualty, but only to the extent of deductibles specified in the insurance
policies plus the insurance proceeds paid to such party under its policies of insurance or, if it
fails to maintain the required policies, the insurance proceeds that would have been paid to such
party if it had maintained such policies.

SECTION 7: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

7.1 Assignment and Subletting by Tenant. Except for Permitted Transfers, Tenant shall not
have the right, directly or indirectly (by change of control or otherwise) to assign, transfer,
mortgage or encumber this Lease in whole or in part, nor sublet the whole or any part of the
Premises, nor allow the occupancy of all or any part of the Premises by another, without first
obtaining Landlord’s consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Neither
Landlord’s demand for Recapture under paragraph 7.2 (“Recapture”) or Landlord’s
conditioning of its consent under paragraph 7.3 (“Landlord Share of Revenue Surplus”) shall
be deemed unreasonable. No sublease or assignment , including one to which Landlord has consented,
shall release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease.

7.2 Recapture. Landlord shall have the right to recapture all or the applicable portion of
the Premises proposed to be assigned or sublet by giving written notice of Landlord’s intention to
exercise such right within fifteen (15) days after delivery of Tenant’s request that Landlord
consent to assignment or subletting (“Recapture”). The Recapture shall be effective on the
earlier of (a) the date Tenant proposed to assign or sublet or (b) the last day of a calendar month
which is at least sixty (60) days after delivery of Tenant’s request that Landlord’s consent to the
assignment or subletting. On the effective date of the Recapture, this Lease shall be terminated
as to the Premises or the portion of the Premises subject to the Recapture. Notwithstanding the
first sentence of this subparagraph, Landlord shall have no right to Recapture the Premises or
applicable portion thereof if: (a) Tenant’s proposed assignment or sublet is a Permitted Transfer
or to an affiliate or wholly-owned subsidiary or is to a reorganized entity under which no change
in ownership has occurred, or (b) Tenant’s proposed assignment or sublet, together with any
previous assignments and/or sublets in effect as of the date of Tenant’s request, encompass in the
aggregate net rentable area equal to or less than fifty percent (50%) of the total net rentable
area of Premises.

7.3 Landlord Share of Revenue Surplus. Landlord may elect to condition its consent to an
assignment or subletting on this paragraph. If Landlord so gives conditional consent, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord if, as and when received by Tenant, fifty percent (50%) of the consideration
received by Tenant for the assignment or subletting (after deduction of leasing commissions,
attorneys’ fees, tenant

13

 

improvement allowances, and other reasonable costs of assignment or subletting) to the extent that
consideration exceeds Tenant’s obligations under this Lease for the same portion of the Lease Term.
If the sublet is for other than the entirety of the Premises, Tenant’s obligation under this Lease
shall be prorated based on the area subleased as compared to the Rentable Area of the Premises.

7.4 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in subparagraph 7.1, but
subject to the other provisions of this paragraph, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the
Premises or any portion thereof (a “Permitted Transfer”), without Landlord’s consent: (a)
to any partnership, corporation or other entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under
common control with Tenant (control being defined for such purposes as ownership of 50% or more of
all of the voting stock of a corporation or 50% or more of the voting legal or equitable interest
in any other business entity, and the power to direct the management and operations of the relevant
entity) (an “Affiliate”) or (b) to any partnership, corporation or other entity resulting
from a merger or consolidation with Tenant or which acquires all or substantially all of Tenant’s
assets (through a transfer of assets or equity interests in Tenant) as a going concern and such
assets include substantial assets other than this Lease (a “Successor”); or (c) to any
entity engaged in a joint venture with Tenant, provided that, (i) Landlord receives at
least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the assignment or subletting, in which Tenant shall
expressly confirm that Tenant remains primarily liable (together with the assignee in the event of
an assignment) for all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, (ii) in the case of a
subletting or assignment to an Affiliate, the Affiliate remains an Affiliate for the duration of
the subletting or the balance of the term in the event of an assignment,, (iii) Landlord receives a
fully executed coy of the assignment or sublease agreement between Tenant and the Affiliate or
Successor at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such assignment or sublease, in
which the Affiliate or Successor, as the case may be, assumes (in the event of an assignment) all
of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, and agrees (in the event of a sublease) that such
subtenant will, at Landlord’s election, attorn directly to Landlord in the event that this Lease is
terminated for any reason, and (iv) in the case of an assignment, the essential purpose of such
assignment is to transfer an active, ongoing business with substantial assets in addition to this
Lease, and, in the case of an assignment or sublease, the transaction is for legitimate business
purposes unrelated to this Lease and the transaction is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its
obligations under this Lease or the restrictions on assignment and subletting contained herein. In
addition, a sale or transfer of the capital stock of Tenant shall be deemed a Permitted Transfer if
(1) such sale or transfer occurs in connection with any bona fide financing or capitalization for
the benefit of Tenant, or (2) Tenant is or becomes a publicly traded corporation. Landlord shall
no right to any sums or other economic consideration resulting from any Permitted Transfer.
Additionally, any rights that are personal to Tenant shall also accrue to any Permitted Transferee.

7.5 Assignment by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole
or in part, its rights and obligations under this Lease and in any and all of the Land or Building.
If Landlord sells or transfers any or all of the Building, Landlord and Landlord’s Affiliates
shall, upon consummation of such transfer be released automatically from any liability under this
Lease for obligations to be performed or observed after the date of the transfer. After the
effective date of the transfer, Tenant must look solely to Landlord’s successor-in-interest.

SECTION 8: DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

8.1 Events of Default.

     8.1.1 The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a material
default and breach of this Lease by Tenant (“Event of Default”):

          (a) vacation or abandonment of all or any portion of the Premises without continued payment
when due of Base Rent and Operating Costs Reimbursements and other sums due under this Lease;

          (b) failure by Tenant to make any payment of Base Rent, Operating Costs Reimbursements or any
other sum payable by Tenant under this Lease within three (3) days after its due date, or, in the
case of the first such failure during a calendar year of the Lease Term, within three (3) days
after written notice to Tenant of such failure;

          (c) failure by Tenant to observe or perform any covenant or condition of this Lease, other
than the making of Base Rent, Operating Costs Reimbursements and other payments, where such failure
continues for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice from Landlord; provided, however,

14

 

that if the nature of Tenant’s obligation is such that more than the specified period required
for performance, then Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences performance within such
period and thereafter diligently prosecutes it to completion;

          (d) the failure of Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises at the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease in the condition required by this Lease;

          (e) (1) the making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit
of creditors; (2) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition in bankruptcy, including
reorganization or arrangement, unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, it is
dismissed within sixty (60) days; (3) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession
of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located in the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this
Lease; (4) any execution, levy, attachment or other process of law against any property of Tenant
or Tenant’s interest in this Lease, unless it is dismissed within sixty (60) days; (5) adjudication
that Tenant is bankrupt; (6) the making by Tenant of a transfer in fraud of creditors; or (7) the
failure of Tenant to generally pay its debts as they become due;

          (f) any information furnished by or on behalf of Tenant to Landlord in connection with this
Lease is determined to have been materially false, or misleading and Tenant knew of same; or

          (g) if a letter of credit is required under the Credit Enhancement Rider to this Lease, a
failure of the Tenant to deliver that letter of credit within the time period specified.

     8.1.2 If a petition in bankruptcy is filed by or against Tenant, and if this Lease is treated
as an “unexpired lease” under applicable bankruptcy law, then Tenant shall neither attempt nor
cause any trustee to attempt to extend the time period specified by the Bankruptcy Act for the
assumption or rejection of this Lease.

8.2 Remedies.

     8.2.1 If any Event of Default occurs, Landlord may at any time after such occurrence, with or
without notice or demand except as stated in this paragraph, and without limiting Landlord in the
exercise of any other right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such Event of Default,
exercise the rights and remedies, either singularly or in combination, specified or described in
the subparagraphs of this paragraph.

     8.2.2 Landlord may terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant under this Lease, either
immediately or at some later date, by giving Tenant written notice that this Lease is terminated.
If Landlord so terminates this Lease, then Landlord may recover from Tenant the sum of:

          (a) the unpaid Base Rent, Operating Costs Reimbursements and all other sums payable under this
Lease which have been earned up to and including the date of termination; plus

          (b) interest at the Default Rate on the sum stated in clause (a); plus

          (c) the amount by which (i) the unpaid Base Rent, Operating Costs Reimbursements and all other
sums payable under this Lease which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds (ii) the amount of such rental loss, if any, as Tenant affirmatively proves could
have been reasonably avoided during such time period, together with interest on such resulting
difference at the Default Rate; plus

          (d) the amount by which (i) the aggregate of the unpaid Base Rent, Operating Costs
Reimbursements and all other sums payable under this Lease for the balance of the Lease Term after
the time of award exceeds (ii) the amount of such rental loss, if any, as Tenant affirmatively
proves could be reasonably avoided, with such resulting difference being discounted to present
value at the time of the award at the Prime Rate in existence at such time; plus

          (e) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for the detriment proximately caused by
Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course
of things, would be likely to result from such failure, including, leasing commissions, tenant
improvement costs, renovation costs and advertising costs.

     8.2.3 Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter
the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises. Landlord may cause property so
removed from the Premises to be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the expense, for the
account of, and at the risk of Tenant.

     8.2.4 Landlord shall also have the right, without terminating this Lease, to accelerate and
recover from Tenant the sum of all unpaid Base Rent, Operating Costs Reimbursements and all other
sums payable under the then remaining term of the Lease, discounting such amount to present value
at the Prime Rate.

15

 

     8.2.5 If Tenant vacates, abandons or surrenders the Premises without Landlord’s consent, or if
Landlord re-enters the Premises as provided in subparagraph 8.2.3 or takes possession of the
Premises pursuant to legal or notice proceedings, then, if Landlord does not elect to terminate
this Lease, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, either (a) recover all
Base Rent, Operating Costs Reimbursements and all other sums payable under this Lease as they
become due or (b) relet the Premises or any part of the Premises on behalf of Tenant for such term
or terms, at such rent or rents and pursuant to such other provisions as Landlord, in its sole
discretion, may deem advisable, all with the right, at Tenant’s cost, to make alterations and
repairs to the Premises and recover any deficiency from Tenant as set forth in subparagraph 8.2.6.

     8.2.6 If Landlord relets the Premises without terminating this Lease, Landlord shall apply the
revenue from such reletting to Landlord’s costs and Tenant’s obligations in such order as Landlord
deems appropriate. Should revenue from letting during any month be less than the sum of the Base
Rent, Operating Costs Reimbursements and other sums payable under this Lease and Landlord’s
expenditures for the Premises during such month, Tenant shall be obligated to pay such deficiency
to Landlord as and when such deficiency arises.

8.3 Right to Perform. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Base Rent
or Operating Costs Reimbursements, required to be paid by it under this Lease or shall fail to
perform any other act on its part to be performed under this Lease, and such failure shall continue
for ten (10) days after written notice of such failure by Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be
obligated to, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations, make such payment or
perform such other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed as provided in this Lease.
Landlord shall have all rights and remedies for recovery of any sum or for the cost of such
performance as specified in this Lease.

8.4 Landlord’s Default. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord
fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within thirty (30) days after written notice is
delivered by Tenant to Landlord specifying the obligation which Landlord has failed to perform;
provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than the
specified period required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord
commences performance within such period and thereafter diligently prosecutes it to completion.
Tenant waives the benefit of any laws granting it the right to perform Landlord’s obligation, a
lien upon the property of Landlord or upon rent due Landlord, or the right to terminate this Lease
or withhold rent.

8.5 Limitation on Recourse. Liability with respect to the entry and performance of this
Lease by or on behalf of Landlord or any other obligation of Landlord, however it may arise, shall
be asserted and enforced only against Landlord’s estate and equity interest in the Building and
proceeds therefrom and from insurance. Neither Landlord nor any of Landlord’s Affiliates shall
have any personal liability in the event of any Claim against any of them arising out of or in
connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant’s use of the
Premises. Any and all personal liability, if any, beyond that which may be asserted under this
paragraph, is expressly waived and released by Tenant and by all persons claiming by, through or
under Tenant.

the period for the performance of any such act or obligation shall be extended for the period
equivalent to the period of such delay.

9.7 Interpretation. Headings or captions shall in no way define, limit or otherwise affect
the construction or interpretation of this Lease. Whenever a provision of this Lease uses the
terms “include” or “including”, that term shall not be limiting but shall be construed as
illustrative. This Lease shall be given a fair and reasonable interpretation of the words
contained in it without any weight being given to whether a provision was drafted by one party or
its counsel. Unless otherwise specified, whenever this Lease requires a consent or approval, the
decision shall be reached in good faith discretion of the party entitled to give such consent or

Rider 1

Operating Costs Reimbursements

R1.1 Operating Costs Reimbursements Payments. Tenant agrees to pay, in addition to Base
Rent, sums computed and payable in accordance with this Rider (“Operating Costs
Reimbursements”). As the context requires, the term “Operating Costs Reimbursements” shall
include the Operating Costs Reimbursements Estimate payments.

R1.2 Operating Costs Reimbursements Estimate Payments. Landlord shall prepare and furnish
to Tenant an estimate of the Operating Costs Reimbursements computed in accordance with paragraphs
R1.3 through R1.6 (“Operating Costs Reimbursements Estimate”) (a) on about the Commencement
Date, (b) in advance of the beginning of each calendar year during the Lease Term and (c) from time
to time during the Lease Term. Tenant shall pay one-twelfth (1/12th) of the current
Operating Costs Reimbursements Estimate in advance on or before the first day of each calendar
month of the Lease Term. If the applicable blank on the first page of this Lease is filled in, the
amount in it shall be the Operating Cost Reimbursement Estimate as of the Commencement Date.

R1.3 Computation of Operating Costs Reimbursements. The Operating Costs Reimbursements
shall equal the product of (a) Tenant’s Pro Rata Share multiplied by (b) the difference between
Operating Costs minus the Operating Cost Base Amount. These capitalized terms are defined later in
paragraph 1.4 of this Rider. The determination and computation of the Operating Costs
Reimbursements shall be made by Landlord. After the close of each calendar year, Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant a written statement setting forth the Operating Costs Reimbursements payable for
the preceding calendar year. If the Operating Costs Reimbursements exceed the Operating Costs
Reimbursements Estimate paid by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount of such excess to Landlord with
twenty (20) days after delivery of such statement to Tenant. If such statement shows the Operating
Costs Reimbursements to be less than the Operating Costs Reimbursements Estimate paid by Tenant,
then the amount of such overpayment shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within twenty (20) days
following the date of such statement or, at Landlord’s option, shall be credited toward future
installment(s) of Operating Costs Reimbursements Estimate.

R1.4 Definitions.

     R1.4.1 Operating Costs. Subject to Section R1.4.3 below, all costs and
expenses paid or incurred by Landlord for maintaining, operating, owning and repairing any or all
of the Land, Building, Premises, related improvements and the personal property used in conjunction
with such Land, Building, Premises and related improvements. Without limiting the generality of
the previous sentence, a few of the categories of costs and expense intended to be included in
Operating Costs are (a) Taxes as defined later in this paragraph; (b) premiums and other
obligations associated with Landlord’s insurance program; (c) property management fees with respect
to this Lease not to exceed two percent (2.0%) of the Base Rent; (d) amortization of capital
improvements installed or constructed other than in connection with the original construction of
this Building and (e) other costs or expense which are customarily accounted for as an expense of
ownership or operation. See Paragraph 4.2 (“Maintenance and Repair by Landlord”) for the
treatment of code compliance costs. If less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Building is
occupied by tenants during the calendar year, then Operating Costs which vary based on occupancy
shall include all additional costs and expenses that Landlord reasonably determines would have been
incurred had ninety-five percent (95%) occupancy prevailed during the calendar year.

     R1.4.2
Taxes. “Taxes” means all ad valorem taxes and governmental and private
assessments which are levied, assessed, imposed or become due and payable with respect to the Land
and the Building and associated improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Taxes” shall not
include:

          (i) any franchise, estate, gift, inheritance, net income, or excess profits tax imposed upon
Landlord ,or a penalty fee imposed as a result of Landlord’s failure to pay Taxes when due; and

          (ii) any increases in real property taxes and/or assessments that result from “new
construction” or a “change of ownership” of the Building, or the Land (and for purposes hereof,
“new

Rider 1

construction” or a “change of ownership” shall have the same meaning as in Part 0.5 of Division 1
of the California Revenue and Taxation Code or any amendments or successor statutes to those
sections.

     
R1.4.3 Exclusions to Operating Costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Rider, the following are specifically excluded from the definition of Operating
Costs and Tenant shall have no obligation to pay directly or reimburse Landlord for all or any
portion of the following except to the extent any of the following are caused by the actions or
inactions of Tenant, or result from the failure of Tenant to comply with the terms of this Lease:

	 	(i)	 	costs incurred because Landlord actually violated the terms and conditions of
this Lease or any other lease for premises within the Building, if any;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	legal and auditing fees (other than those fees reasonably incurred in
connection with the maintenance and operation of all or any portion the Building),
leasing commissions, advertising expenses, and other costs incurred in connection with
the original leasing of the Property or future re-leasing of any portion of the
Building;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	depreciation of the Building or any other improvements situated within the
Project;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	any items for which Landlord is actually reimbursed by insurance or by direct
reimbursement by Tenant or any other party;
	 
	 	(v)	 	costs of repairs or other work necessitated by fire, windstorm or other
casualty (excluding any deductibles) and/or costs of repair or other work necessitated
by the exercise of the right of eminent domain to the extent insurance proceeds or a
condemnation award, as applicable, is actually received by Landlord for such purposes;
	 
	 	(vi)	 	any interest or payments on any financing for the Building, interest and
penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s late payment of any invoice and any bad
debt loss, rent loss or reserves for same;
	 
	 	(vii)	 	overhead and profit increment paid to Landlord or to subsidiaries or
affiliates of Landlord for goods and/or services to the extent the same exceeds the
costs of such by unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis; or any costs
included in Operating Costs representing an amount paid to a person, firm, corporation
or other entity related to Landlord which is in excess of the amount which would have
been paid in the absence of such relationship;
	 
	 	(viii)	 	any payments under a ground lease or master lease;
	 
	 	(ix)	 	costs of correcting any building code or other violations which were violations
prior to the Commencement Date; and
	 
	 	(x)	 	costs incurred in the investigation and/or remediation of Hazardous Materials
which either existed on the Land prior to the Commencement Date or were brought onto
the Property by Landlord, its agents, employee or contractors.

Additionally, to the extent any of the foregoing items described above constitute capital repairs
or replacements under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, then only the
amortizing portion of such capital repairs or replacements shall constitute Operating Costs; such
amortization shall be over the useful life of the applicable repair or replacement, and shall
employ an interest rate equal to the sum of that rate quoted by Wells Fargo Bank, N.T. & S.A. from
time to time as its prime rate, plus two percent (2%).

R1.5 Audit Rights. Landlord shall maintain records concerning estimated and actual
Operating Costs Reimbursements to the Premises for no less than twelve (12) months following the
period covered by the statement or statements furnished Tenant, after which time Landlord may
dispose of such records. Provided that Tenant is not then in default of its obligation to pay Base
Rent, Operating Costs Reimbursements or other payments required to be made by it under this Lease
and provided that Tenant is not otherwise in default under this Lease, Tenant may, at Tenant’s sole
cost and expense, cause a Qualified Person (defined below) to inspect Landlord’s records. Such
inspection, if any, shall be conducted no more than once each year, during Landlord’s normal
business hours within ninety (90) calendar days after receipt of Landlord’s written statement of
Operating Costs Reimbursements allocable to the Premises for the previous year, upon first
furnishing Landlord at least twenty (20) calendar days prior written notice. Any errors disclosed
by the review shall be promptly corrected by Landlord; provided,

Rider 1

2

 

 

however, that if Landlord disagrees with any such claimed errors, Landlord shall have the right to
cause another review to be made by an auditor of Landlord’s choice. In the event the results of
the review of records (taking into account, if applicable, the results of any additional review
caused by Landlord) reveal that Tenant has overpaid obligations for a preceding period, the amount
of such overpayment shall be credited against Tenant’s subsequent installment of Base Rent,
Operating Costs Reimbursements or other payments due to Landlord under the Lease. In the event
that such results show that Tenant has underpaid its obligations for a preceding period, the amount
of such underpayment shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord with the next succeeding installment
obligation of estimated Operating Costs Reimbursements allocable to the Premises. If the actual
Operating Costs Reimbursements allocable to the Premises for any given year were improperly
computed and if the actual Operating Costs Reimbursements allocable to the Premises are overstated
by more than 5%, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the cost of its audit. For purposes of this
subparagraph, the term “Qualified Person” means an accountant or other person experienced in
accounting for income and expenses of office projects, who is engaged solely by Tenant on terms
which do not entail any compensation based or measured in any way upon any savings in Operating
Costs Reimbursements or reduction in Operating Costs Reimbursements allocable to the Premises
achieved through the inspection process described in this subparagraph.

R.1.6 End of Term. If this Lease shall terminate on a day other than the last day of a
calendar year, (a) Landlord shall estimate the Operating Costs Reimbursements for such partial year
predicated on the most recent reliable information available to Landlord; (b) the amount determined
under clause (a) of this sentence shall be prorated by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days within the Lease Term in such year and the denominator of
which is 360; (c) if the clause (b) amount exceeds the Operating Costs Reimbursements Estimate paid
by Tenant for the last year in the Lease Term, then Tenant shall pay the excess to Landlord within
ten (10) days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a statement for such excess; and (d) if the
Operating Costs Reimbursements Estimate paid by Tenant for the last year in the Lease Term exceeds
the clause (b) amount, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant the excess within such ten (10) day
period if Tenant is not then in default of any of its obligations under this Lease.

R1.7 Taxes Based on Rent. If a rental tax, gross receipts tax or sales tax on rent is
imposed on Landlord, Tenant shall, as Operating Costs Reimbursements, pay or reimburse Landlord, an
amount equal to all such taxes computed on the Base Rent and Operating Costs Reimbursements payable
under this Lease. If such taxes are payable other than at monthly intervals, Tenant shall pay
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual tax amount with each installment of Base Rent.
