   EXHIBIT 10.10  

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT  

    THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of March 9, 2000 (the
"Effective Date"), by and between K*TEC Electronics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
and Raymond M. Gibbons ("Employee"). 

WITNESSETH  

    WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain Employee to provide services to the Company and the Employee desires to provide services to the Company upon the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth; and 

    WHEREAS,
the Company desires to entrust Employee with access to certain Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined), including, without limitation, information concerning the
Company's business and the relationships between the Company and their respective customers, but only if Employee agrees and covenants not to use or disclose such Confidential Information in
competition with the Company; and 

    WHEREAS,
Employee recognizes that the Company will not entrust such Confidential Information to him unless he agrees to the terms of this Agreement; 

    WHEREAS,
the Company and Employee recognize that the agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement are essential to protect the business of the Company and its Confidential
Information. 

AGREEMENT  

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises contained herein, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as
follows: 

    1.  Employment.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Company
hereby employs Employee, and Employee hereby accepts such employment, upon such terms and subject to such conditions. 

    2.  Duties and Authority.  

    2.1  Duties of Employee.  During the term of this Agreement, Employee will serve in such position(s) at
the Company or its Affiliates as may from time to time be assigned to him by the executive officers of the Company ("Executive Officers") or the Board
of Directors of the Company (the "Board") and will faithfully and to the best of his ability perform such duties in each such position as are determined
and directed by the Executive Officers or Board, or as are necessary, in the reasonable judgment of Employee, to carry out his duties. The term
"Affiliate" means any person or entity that directly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company (and "control" means possession, directly or indirectly, of power to direct or cause the direction of management or policies, whether through
ownership of voting securities or otherwise). 

    2.2  Time and Attention to Services.  Employee will devote substantially all of his time and attention to
the performance of his duties to the Company and its Affiliates during the term of his employment under this Agreement. The Company, however, recognizes that Employee may be engaged in other
nonconflicting passive business investments and in community activities unrelated to his duties under this Agreement that will require some portion of his time, and the Company hereby consents to
Employee's attention to such other activities so long as such activities do not hinder Employee's ability to perform his duties under this Agreement and do not represent a conflict of interest in
contravention of the agreements set forth in Section 11. 

1

 

    2.3  Access to Confidential Information.  The Company agrees to provide Employee with access to the
Confidential Information (as defined in Section 8.2(a) below) and with any specialized training necessary to enable Employee to perform the duties assigned to him by the Company pursuant to
this Agreement. 

    3.  Term and Termination.  

    3.1  Term.  Employee's employment under this Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date and will
continue in effect until the second anniversary of the Effective Date, unless Employee's services are terminated in accordance with Section 3.2.
After two years after the Effective Date, this Agreement shall automatically be extended until terminated by the Company or Employee by written notice to the other party. After two years after the
Effective Date, either party may terminate this Agreement without terminating Employee's employment by the Company. 

    3.2  Termination of Employment.  Employee's services under this Agreement may be terminated prior to the
second anniversary of the Effective Date, as follows: 

    (a)  Termination by Mutual Consent.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the written mutual
consent of the Company and Employee. 

    (b)  Termination by the Company for Cause.  Employee's employment hereunder may be terminated by the
Company at any time for Cause by the delivery to Employee of a written notice of termination stating the effective date of termination and the basis upon which this Agreement is being terminated. In
the event of a termination for Cause hereunder, Employee will be entitled to such Base Salary (as hereinafter defined), benefits and other payments, if any, as have accrued under this Agreement
through the effective date of termination (but excluding any bonus, even if earned or accrued, not yet paid by the Company) but will not be entitled to any other salary, benefits or other compensation
after such date other than such benefits as are required to be extended by law. 

    As
used in this Agreement, the term "Cause" means (i) the substantial inability of or failure by Employee to perform his duties
under this Agreement (other than by reason of illness, injury or incapacity), including without limitation, Employee's failure to meet established target and/or plan expectations; (ii) a
material act by the Employee, involving the Company or its Affiliates, of dishonesty or breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, willful violation or allegation of violation of any criminal
law involving moral turpitude, or action aiding or abetting a competitor, supplier, or customer of the Company or its Affiliates to the disadvantage of the Company or its Affiliates;
(iii) substance or alcohol abuse by Employee that impairs his ability to perform his duties as determined by a physician retained by the Company, or the refusal of Employee to submit to an
examination by any such physician; (iv) Employee's insubordination or disruptive influence; (v) Employee's commission of any act of fraud, misappropriation or other illegal act;
(vi) Employee's willful and persistent failure or refusal to follow reasonable policies, directives, or orders established by the Company; (vii) Employee's commission of acts amounting
to gross negligence or willful misconduct to the detriment of the Company or its Affiliates; or (viii) Employee's breach of any material covenant or agreement under this Agreement. 

    Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if Employee's employment with the Company is terminated solely for Cause specified in  Section 3(b)(i), Employee will be entitled to receive as
severance compensation six months Base Salary. At the Company's election, such severance compensation may be paid, subject to applicable withholding requirements, in a lump-sum cash
payment on or prior to the effective date of the termination or in installments in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices. 

    (c)  Termination by the Company without Cause.  Employee's employment hereunder may be terminated by the
Company at any time without Cause by the delivery to Employee by the Company of a written notice of termination. Upon such termination, Employee will be paid 

2

 

such Base Salary, benefits and any other payments, if any, as have accrued under this Agreement through the effective date of termination, including any bonus relating to any previously completed
fiscal year that has been earned by Employee but not yet paid by the Company and any earned bonus in respect of the fiscal year in which Employee's employment is terminated. For the purposes of this  Section 3.2(c)
, the amount of earned bonus for the fiscal year in which Employee's employment is terminated shall be determined by annualizing
Employee's or the Company's performance through the effective date of Employee's termination on a straight-line basis for the balance of the Company's fiscal year, and if the annualized
performance is at or above the performance bonus target for the fiscal year, the Company will pay Employee a bonus based on the annualized performance, but pro-rated for the portion of the
fiscal year Employee was employed by the Company prior to the effective date of termination. In addition, if Employee's employment is terminated without Cause as provided in this  Section 3.2(c),
Employee shall be entitled to receive as severance compensation one year's Base Salary. At the Company's election, such severance
compensation may be paid, subject to applicable withholding requirements, in a lump-sum cash payment on or prior to the effective date of the termination or in installments in accordance
with the Company's regular payroll practices. 

    (d)  Termination Upon Death or Disability of Employee.  Upon a termination of Employee's employment
hereunder due to his death or disability, Employee or his beneficiary as designated in writing to the Company (or his estate, if no such beneficiary has been designated) will be entitled to such Base
Salary, benefits and other payments, if any, as have accrued under this Agreement through the effective date of termination (but excluding any bonus, even if earned or accrued, not yet paid by the
Company). 

    The
term "disability" shall mean any physical or mental impairment or condition resulting from an injury or illness which shall render
Employee incapable of performing the essential functions of his position with reasonable accommodation from the Company for 90 days out of any 120 day period. 

    (e)  Termination by the Employee.  In the event the Employee resigns from or otherwise terminates
employment with the Company, Employee will be entitled to such Base Salary, benefits and other payments, if any, as have accrued under this Agreement through the effective date of termination (but
excluding any bonus, even if earned or accrued, not yet paid by the Company). 

    (f)  Company's Offset Right.  The Company's obligations to perform hereunder shall be subject to offset
(including through garnishment, withholding or reduction of wages or other compensation) for any counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against
the Employee. 

    4.  Compensation.  In consideration for the performance of his duties under this Agreement, Employee will
be paid a base annual salary of $220,000 ("Base Salary"), which shall be payable, less applicable withholding for federal and other required taxes, in
monthly installments or otherwise in such manner as the salaries of other employees of the Company are paid in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices. Any subsequent increase in the
employment compensation shall be automatically incorporated into the terms of this Agreement. 

    5.  Expenses.  Employee will be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Employee that are directly attributable to the performance of Employee's duties under this Agreement. Employee will adhere to the Company's
customary practices and procedures with respect to incurring out-of-pocket expenses and will present such expense statements, receipts, vouchers, or other evidence supporting
expenses incurred by Employee as the Company may from time to time reasonably request. 

    6.  Benefits.  During the term of his employment hereunder, Employee will be entitled to the benefits
generally provided or made available to other similarly-positioned employees of the 

3

 

Company (subject, however, to (i) eligibility and (ii) modification or elimination in accordance with the Company's standard policies as in effect from time to time). 

    7.  Covenant Not To Compete.  For a period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the first
anniversary of the effective date of Employee's termination of employment from the Company (the "Non-Competition Period"), Employee shall
not, unless acting in accordance with the Company's prior consent (which consent may be withheld in the Company's or its Affiliates sole and absolute discretion), directly or indirectly, own, manage,
operate or control (whether through ownership of equity securities or otherwise) or participate in the ownership, management, financing, support, operation or control of, or be engaged as a director,
officer, employer, employee, partner, consultant, or independent contractor with, or permit Employee's name to be used by or in connection with, any company or business organization which directly or
indirectly engages in any Competitive Business (as defined below) anywhere in the forty-eight contiguous States of the United States of America. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this  Section 7, the Employee may own up to five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of any company whose shares are publicly traded. Nothing herein
shall prevent the Employee from engaging in a business that is not a Competitive Business or selling products to, purchasing products from or otherwise doing business with a Competitive Business. 

    The
term "Competitive Business" means any type of business that provides contract manufacturing, assembly or other services as
conducted by the Company at any time before the execution of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the manufacture or assembly of electronic interconnect assemblies, printed circuit board
assemblies, sheet metal fabrication, powder painting, plastic injection molding, specially fabricated battery power packs and final system integration (box build). 

    Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, this Section 7 shall not apply in the event Employee's employment with the
Company is terminated by the Company without Cause as set forth in Section 3.2(c) hereof. 

    8.  No Disparagement; Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure.  

    8.1  Detrimental Statements.  For so long as Employee provides services to the Company under this
Agreement and for a period of 36 months thereafter (the "Non-Disparagement Period"), Employee will not, directly or indirectly, in
any individual or representative capacity whatsoever, make any public statement, oral or written, which is or could be detrimental in any material respect to the goodwill of the Company or its
Affiliates, its present or former principals, directors or officers or any of their Affiliates or which interferes in any material respect with the ability of the Company or any of its Affiliates to
(i) market its products or services, (ii) to retain existing customer relationships or to obtain new customer relationships or (iii) to retain existing, or to hire or engage new,
employees, consultants or independent contractors; provided, however, that truthful comments made in confidence and in good faith by Employee to a
search firm representative or potential employer in connection with seeking new employment shall not be considered a breach of this Section 8.1. 

    8.2  Confidentiality.  

    (a) Employee
recognizes and acknowledges that he has been, while employed by the Company, and will continue to be provided access to confidential information and trade
secrets of the Company and its Affiliates, and other entities doing business with the Company and its Affiliates relating to research, development, manufacturing, marketing, financial and other
business-related activities, including without limitation, access to information regarding the upgrading of current Company services and products and the development of new services or products, and
Employee may discover, conceive, perfect or develop, solely or jointly with others, inventions, discoveries, improvements, know-how, computer programs, or other technical, manufacturing,
marketing, customer, and/or financial data and information ("Confidential Information"). Such Confidential Information constitutes valuable, special,
and proprietary property 

4

 

of the Company, its Affiliates and/or other entities doing business with the Company. In consideration of such access to Confidential Information, Employee will not during the term of his employment
by the Company or at all times after the termination of his employment by the Company, make any use of, or disclose any of such Confidential Information to any person or firm, corporation,
association, or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, except as specifically allowed in writing by an authorized representative of the Company or, while Employee is employed by the
Company, in furtherance of the Company's business. Employee recognizes, agrees and represents that the Company would not permit Employee to access the Company's Confidential Information or provide any
specialized training unless Employee agrees to the restrictions contained herein, and that the Company is relying on the agreements of Employee contained in this Agreement in permitting Employee
access to the Confidential Information. Employee represents that being permitted to access the Confidential Information, the specialized training and the compensation described in this Agreement
constitutes significant and valuable consideration for his agreements hereunder. 

    (b) All
Confidential Information developed, created or maintained by the Employee, alone or with others while employed by the Company, and all Confidential Information
maintained by the Employee thereafter, shall remain at all times the exclusive property of the Company. The Employee shall return to the Company all Confidential Information, and reproductions
thereof, whether prepared by him or others, that are in his possession immediately upon request and in any event upon the completion of his employment with the Company. 

    9.  Non-Hiring and Non-Solicitation Covenants.  During the period commencing on
the date hereof and ending one (1) year after the effective date of termination of the Employee's employment with the Company (the "Non-Solicitation
Period"), Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, hire or retain, or offer to hire or retain, as director, officer, employer, employee, partner, consultant, independent
contractor or otherwise, any person or entity who at the time of the solicitation or offer by Employee, or within 180 days prior thereto, was employed or was engaged as a consultant or
independent contractor or otherwise by the Company or any Affiliate thereof, or solicit or encourage any person or entity to terminate his, her or its position with the Company or any Affiliate
thereof unless the Company or such Affiliate gives such person or entity its prior written consent to such employment, retention or offer of employment or retention. In addition, except on behalf of
the Company or its Affiliates, during the Non-Solicitation, Period Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, compete for or solicit any of the business conducted by the Company or its
Affiliates from any customer of the Company or its Affiliates, induce any customer of the Company or its Affiliates to patronize any other company or business organization engaged in any of the
businesses conducted by the Company or its Affiliates, or request or advise any customer of the Company or its Affiliates to withdraw, curtail or cancel any such customer's business with the Company
or its Affiliates. 

    10.  Proprietary Information.  Employee agrees to promptly and freely disclose to the Company in writing
any and all ideas, conceptions, inventions, improvements, suggestions for improvements, discoveries, formulae, processes, designs, software, hardware, circuitry, diagrams, copyrights, trade secrets,
and any other proprietary, information (collectively, "Proprietary Information"), whether patentable or not, which are conceived, developed, and made or
acquired by Employee, alone or jointly with others, during the period of his employment by the Company, or using the Company's time, data, facilities, and/or materials, and which are related to the
products, business, or activities of the Company or its Affiliates or which Employee conceives, develops, makes, or acquires as a result of his employment by the Company, and Employee agrees to assign
and hereby does assign all of his right, title, and interest therein to the Company. Whenever requested to do so by the Company, Employee will execute
applications, assignments, or other instruments which the Company deems necessary to apply for and obtain letters patent or copyrights of the United States or any foreign country, to otherwise protect
the Company's interest in any Proprietary Information, or to vest title to any Proprietary Information in the Company. These obligations shall continue beyond the expiration or termination of
Employee's employment, regardless of the reason for such termination, with respect to 

5

 

any Proprietary Information conceived, developed, made, or acquired by Employee during the period of his employment and shall be binding upon Employee's assigns, executors, administrators, and other
legal representatives. 

    11.  Conflicts of Interest.  In keeping with Employee's fiduciary duties to the Company, Employee agrees
that while employed by the Company he will not, acting alone or in conjunction with others, directly or indirectly, become involved in a conflict of interest or, upon discovery thereof, allow a
conflict of interest to continue. Moreover, Employee agrees that he will immediately disclose to the Executive Officers or the Board any facts which might involve any reasonable possibility of a
conflict of interest. It is agreed that any direct or indirect interest in, connection with, or benefit from any outside activities, where such interest might in any way adversely affect the Company
or its Affiliates, involves a possible conflict of interest. Circumstances in which a conflict of interest on the part of Employee might arise, and which must be reported immediately by Employee to
the Executive Officers or the Board, include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) ownership of a material interest in any supplier, contractor, subcontractor, customer, or other entity
with which the Company or any of its Affiliates does business; (b) acting in any capacity, including director, officer, partner, consultant, employee, distributor, agent, or the like, for a
supplier, contractor, subcontractor, customer, or other entity with which the Company or any of its Affiliates does business; (c) accepting, directly or indirectly, payment, service, or loans
from a supplier, contractor, subcontractor, customer, or other entity with which the Company or any of its Affiliates does business, including, but not limited to, gifts, trips, entertainment, or
other favors of more than a nominal value; (d) misuse of any information or facilities of the Company or any of its Affiliates to which Employee has access in a manner which will be detrimental
to the Company's or its Affiliates' interest, such as utilization for Employee's own benefit of know-how, inventions, or information developed through business activities of the Company or
its Affiliates; and (e) appropriation of a Corporate Opportunity, as defined in Section 12 of this Agreement. 

    12.  Corporate Opportunities.  Employee acknowledges that during the course of his employment by the
Company he may be offered or become aware of business or investment opportunities in which the Company or its Affiliates may or might have an interest (a "Corporate
Opportunity") and that applicable law requires that Employee advise the Company of any such Corporate Opportunities before acting upon them. Accordingly, Employee agrees that
(a) to the extent required by applicable law, he will disclose to the Executive Officers or the Board any Corporate Opportunity offered to Employee or of which Employee becomes aware, and
(b) he will not act upon any such Corporate Opportunity for his own benefit or for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company without first obtaining the consent or approval of
the Executive Officers or the Board (whose consent or approval may be granted or denied in their sole discretion). 

    13.  Miscellaneous.  

    13.1  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and the rights of the parties
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, as applied to contracts made and performed within the State of Texas, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. 

    13.2  Forum Selection and Venue.  The Company and Employee hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Texas and the federal courts of the United States of America located in Houston, Harris County, Texas in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the
provisions of this Agreement and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit, or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, that it is not subject
thereto or that such action, suit, or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in
or by said courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a Texas state or federal court. The Company
and Employee hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of any such dispute and 

6

 

agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 13.4, or in such
other manner as may be permitted by law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. 

    13.3  Entirety; Amendments; Waivers.  This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties
and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Employee hereby represents and warrants to the Company that there are no other oral or written
understandings or agreements between Employee and the Company, the Company or any Affiliate thereof. This Agreement may be amended or modified only in a writing executed by Employee and the Company.
No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

shall be deemed to have been duly given or made as follows: (a) if sent by registered or certified mail in the United States return receipt requested, upon receipt; (b) if sent by

    13.5  Attorney's Fees.  In the event that either party is required to obtain the services of an attorney
in order to enforce any right or obligation hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and court costs from the other party. 

    13.6  Assignability; Binding Nature.  Neither this Agreement nor any right, duty, obligation, or interest
hereunder may be assigned or delegated by one party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. This Agreement is binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of the Company
and Employee and their respective successors, permitted assigns, and representatives. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder may be
assigned by the Company to any Affiliate of the Company or any entity that succeeds to all or any material portion of the assets of the Company or such Affiliate through merger, consolidation,
liquidation, acquisition of assets, or otherwise, and upon any such assignment the Company shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder. 

    13.7  Headings.  The headings of paragraphs contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and
shall not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 

7

 

    13.8  Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is inoperative or unenforceable for any reason,
such circumstance shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision or provisions
herein contained invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever. The invalidity of any one or more phrases, sentences, clauses, paragraphs, or subparagraphs of this Agreement shall
not affect the remaining portions of this Agreement. If any covenant set forth in this Agreement is determined by any court to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of
time or over too great a geographic area, or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, such covenant shall be interpreted to extend only for the longest period of time and over the
greatest geographic area, and to otherwise have the broadest application, as shall be enforceable. Without limiting the foregoing, the covenants contained herein shall be construed as separate
covenants, covering their respective subject matters, with respect to each of the separate cities, counties and states of the United States, and each other country and political subdivision thereof,
in which the Company or any of its Affiliates transacts any business. 

    13.9  Injunctive Relief.  Employee agrees that (a) the provisions of  Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are reasonable and necessary to protect the
legitimate interests of the Company, and (b) any violation of  Section 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 will result in irreparable injury to the Company, the exact amount of which will be difficult to
ascertain, and that
the remedies at law for any such violation would not be reasonable or adequate compensation to the Company for such a violation. Accordingly, Employee agrees that if he violates the provisions of  Section 8, 9, 10, 11, or
12, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief to the extent permitted by law, without
posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual damages, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity. Employee shall be entitled to seek a
declaratory judgment regarding any conduct or enterprise to determine whether or not such conduct or violation is violative of the terms of this Agreement; provided however, that no suit shall be
filed until Employee has given the Company at least 15 days to respond to Employee's written request for permission to undertake certain requested acts. 

    13.10  Survival of Terms.  The terms and agreements set forth in  Sections 8, 9, and 10 shall survive the expiration of the term or termination of
Employee's services under this Agreement regardless of the
reason. 

    13.11  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be
deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

2. LEASED PREMISES

    2.1  Leased Premises.  Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases and accepts the Leased
Premises from Landlord upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease (including the Basic Provisions of Article 1 which are incorporated herein by this reference). Except as may be
otherwise provided herein, Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right to use, in common with Landlord and others, the Building Common Areas. For the purposes of this Lease, the term "Building Common
Areas" means common walkways and footpaths and landscaped areas, and such other areas adjacent to the Building which are subject to or are designed or intended solely for the common enjoyment, use
and/or benefits of the tenants of the Building or other persons so designated by Landlord from time to time. Landlord may in its sole and absolute discretion freely modify, alter, eliminate, increase
or decrease the Building Common Areas from time to time, provided, however, that Landlord shall not thereby adversely impair Tenant's access to or use of the Leased Premises. 

    2.2  Area of Leased Premises.  Landlord and Tenant agree that the rentable area of the Leased Premises
for all purposes under this Lease shall be the Rentable Area specified in Article 1.8 above. 

 
 

3. LEASE TERM; COMMENCEMENT DATE

    3.1  Lease Term.  The Lease Term shall begin on the Commencement Date and shall be for the period set
forth in Article 1 above, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the further provisions of this Lease. The "Commencement Date" shall mean the later of: (a) August 1, 1999, or
(b) the earlier of: (i) the day that Landlord shall obtain a certificate of occupancy for the Tenant Improvement Work (as such term is defined in the attached  Exhibit "D") or (ii) the
date that Landlord would have obtained a certificate of occupancy for the Tenant Improvement Work if not for Tenant
Delays (as such term is defined in the attached Exhibit "D"); provided, however, that in the event that there shall be 10 days of Tenant Delay,
then the Commencement Date shall be the first day after the 10th day of 

2

 

Tenant Delay. The Lease shall end on the last day of the 96th full calendar month following the Commencement Date. 

    3.2  Delay in Commencement Date.  In the event Landlord is unable to tender possession of the Leased
Premises to Tenant on the Scheduled Commencement Date, for whatever reason, Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage occasioned thereby and the validity of this Lease shall not be impaired,
but Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Basic Rent or Additional Rent until the Commencement Date. 

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event Landlord should fail to deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant by December 31, 1999, which date shall be extended due
to Tenant Delays, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease within 10 days thereafter by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord, and which termination shall be effective
30 days after delivery thereof to Landlord.

5. RENT

    5.1  Payment of Basic Rent.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Basic Rent set forth in Article 1.13
above, subject to increase as may be provided herein. The Basic Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments, on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Lease Term, in
advance, without notice or demand and without abatement, deduction or set-off (except as may be specifically provided herein). Basic Rent for the first full calendar month in which Basic
Rent is payable shall be paid upon Tenant's execution of this Lease and Basic Rent for any partial month at the beginning of the Lease Term shall be paid on the Commencement Date. Basic Rent and
Additional Rent for any partial month at the beginning of the Lease Term shall be prorated based on a 30-day month. All payments under this Lease shall be paid in lawful money of the
United States of America
to Landlord or its agent at the address set forth in Article 1 above, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. 

    5.2  Rent Tax.  In addition to the Basic Rent and Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, together
with the monthly installments of Basic Rent and payments of Additional Rent, an amount equal to any taxes, impositions, fees, including any sales, rental, occupancy, excise, use or transaction
privilege taxes assessed or levied upon Landlord with respect to the amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, as well as all taxes assessed or imposed upon Landlord's gross receipts or gross
income from leasing the Leased Premises to Tenant, including any tax now or subsequently imposed by the city in which the Property is located, the County of Maricopa, the State of Arizona, any other
governmental or municipal body, and any taxes assessed or imposed in lieu of or in substitution of any of the foregoing taxes. Such taxes shall not, however, include any franchise, gift, estate,
inheritance, or income tax assessed against Landlord. 

    5.3  Additional Rent.  In addition to Basic Rent, all other amounts to be paid by Tenant to Landlord
pursuant to this Lease, including amounts to be paid by Tenant pursuant to Article 6 below and parking charges to be paid by Tenant in the amount specified in Article 1 above shall be
deemed to be Additional Rent, whether or not designated as such, and shall be due and payable on a monthly basis at the same time the Basic Rent is due. Landlord shall have the same remedies for the
failure to pay Additional Rent as for the nonpayment of Basic Rent.

6. OPERATING COSTS

    6.1  Generally.d  In addition to the Basic Rent set forth in Article 1 above, Tenant agrees to pay
to Landlord at the times and in the manner hereinafter provided Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the net costs (hereinafter defined) paid or incurred by Landlord or its designated agent during the term
hereof. For the purpose of this Article 6, the term "net costs" means all costs and expenses of any kind accrued, paid or incurred by Landlord or on Landlord's behalf in connection with the
ownership, use, management, repair, service, insurance, operation and maintenance of the Building and the Property, including without limitation: landscaping; line painting; lighting; HVAC; sanitary
control; removal of trash and other refuse; and reasonable reserves for replacements and repairs and the cost of personnel to implement such services. Also included in the net costs are Landlord's
costs incurred from capital expenditures which benefit, maintain, or improve the Building and Building Common Areas, capital expenditures reasonably calculated to reduce the operating cost of same,
and capital expenditures required to comply with governmental laws, rules, regulations, codes or ordinances which become effective after the execution date of this Lease, provided, however, that such
limitation shall not apply to ADA. The cost of capital expenditures shall be amortized over the number of years of the useful life of the expenditure. Any item expensed by Landlord on its federal tax
return shall be conclusively
deemed an operating expense for purposes of determining whether an item is a capital expenditure or an operating expense. Tenant shall also pay Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Owner's reasonable management
fees incurred for the operation of the Building and common facilities, such fees in no event to exceed 2.5% of gross receipts. 

    6.2  Taxes.  Tenant covenants and agrees to pay Tenant's Pro Rata Share of "Taxes" which may be levied or
assessed for each calendar year during the entire term of this Lease, against the Building, Property, and any improvements thereon, or relating to the operation or use thereof. For purposes hereof,
"Taxes" means all forms of real estate taxes, impositions, charges, fees and assessments (including, without limitation, all assessments for public improvement or benefit), duties, excises, levies,
licenses, permit fees and other charges of governmental authorities (including, without limitation, transaction privilege, sales, gross receipts, rental occupancy or other like taxes), whether general
or special, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, of every kind and nature whatsoever, which, at any time prior to or during the Lease Term, may have been or may be assessed, levied,
imposed upon or arise or become due or payable out of or in respect of the Building or Property or any part thereof, any legal or equitable interest of Landlord or Tenant therein, Landlord's rentals
or other income therefrom, Landlord's leasing of the Building or any part thereof, any use, occupancy or operation of the Leased Premises or any part thereof, provided, however, that such term shall
not include any income or any estate, inheritance, succession, capital stock, or capital gains tax, levied upon Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time after the date hereof; the
methods of taxation shall be changed so that in lieu of, as a substitute for, or in addition to, the whole or any part of any Taxes now levied, assessed or imposed, there shall be levied, assessed or
imposed (a) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge on the rents received from real property, or (b) a license fee measured by the rent payable by Tenant to Landlord, or
(c) any other substitute tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge, then all such license fees, taxes, assessments, levies, impositions and charges shall constitute Tax for the purposes
hereof. All costs, expenses, attorneys' fees and consulting fees (including, without limitation, the costs of tax consultants) incurred by Landlord in connection with attempting to reduce the assessed
valuation of land, buildings and improvements on the Property and/or in protesting or contesting the amount or validity of any Taxes also shall also constitute Taxes for the purposes hereof. The
certificate of non-payment or bill for any Tax issued by the appropriate governmental authority shall be prima facie evidence that such Tax is due and unpaid. 

    Should
the state in which the Building and Property is located or any political subdivision thereof or any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Building and Property
impose a tax or assessment (other than an income or franchise tax) either upon or against the rent payable by tenants 

4

 

in the Building to Landlord or upon or against the business of renting land or buildings, either by way of substitution for the taxes and assessments levied or assessed against such land and
buildings, or in addition thereto, such tax or assessment shall be deemed to constitute a tax or assessment against such land and such buildings for the purpose of this section. 

    Tenant
shall pay directly to the levying governmental authority prior to delinquency, all personal property taxes levied upon all of Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment and other
personal property located
in, on or about the Leased Premises (collectively, "Tenant's Equipment") and all other taxes which may be imposed, levied or assessed upon this Lease or upon any rental or other payments of any kind
or nature whatsoever made hereunder or in connection herewith or with the conduct of Tenant's business operations or any rentals received by Tenant from permitted subtenants, licensees,
concessionaires or other permitted users or occupants of all or any portion of the Premises. If any or all of Tenant's Equipment shall be assessed and taxed with Landlord's real or personal property,
Tenant shall, within 5 days after written demand from Landlord, pay the amount of such taxes which are attributable to Tenant's Equipment as reasonably determined by Landlord. 

    6.3  Payment of Tenant's Pro Rata Share.  Tenant's Pro Rata Share of all Taxes and net costs shall be
paid to Landlord, as additional rent, in monthly installments on or before the first day of each calendar month, in advance, in an amount estimated by Landlord. Within 90 days after the close
of each calendar year of the Lease Term, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a written statement of the actual amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share for such year. If the total amount paid by Tenant under
this section for any calendar year during the term of this Lease shall be less than the actual amount due from Tenant for such year as shown on such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual amount due, such deficiency to be paid within 10 days after demand therefor by Landlord; and if the total amount paid by Tenant
hereunder for any calendar year shall exceed such actual amount due from Tenant for such calendar year, such excess shall promptly be refunded by Landlord to Tenant. All amounts due hereunder shall be
payable to Landlord at the place where the Basic Rent is payable. For the calendar years in which this Lease commences and terminates, the provisions of this section shall apply, and Tenant's
liability for Tenant's Pro Rata Share for such years shall be subject to a pro rata adjustment based on the number of days of said calendar years. 

    6.4  Exclusions from Net Costs.  The following costs incurred by Landlord shall not be included in the
definition of "net costs" described in Article 6.1 above: 

	(a)
	All
costs and expenses of leasing space in the building, including advertising, promotion, other marketing, commissions, allowances, and all costs and expenses of any demolition in,
painting, carpeting, or refurbishing of, or alterations or improvements to, any leasable space made for any tenant or occupant or to enhance the marketability thereof or prepare the same for leasing;

	(b)
	Landlord's
costs of any services sold to tenants for which Landlord is entitled to be reimbursed by such tenants as an additional charge or rental over and above the Basic Rent and
net costs payable under the Lease with such tenant or other occupant;

	(c)
	Any
depreciation or amortization on the Building, except as may be expressly provided herein;

	(d)
	Costs
incurred due to violation by Landlord of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease or any other lease relating to the Building;

	(e)
	Interest
on debt or amortization payment on any mortgages or deeds of trust or any other debt for borrowed money; 

5

 

	(f)
	All
items and services for which Tenant reimburses Landlord outside of net costs or pays third persons or which Landlord provides selectively to one or more tenants or occupants of
the Building (other than Tenant) without reimbursement;

	(g)
	repairs
or other work made necessary by fire, windstorm or other work paid for through insurance or condemnation proceeds;

	(h)
	repairs
resulting from any defect in the original design or construction of the Building;

	(i)
	costs
incurred in connection with the sale, financing, refinancing, mortgaging or selling of the Building;

	(j)
	Costs
or expenses of utilities directly metered to other tenants in the Building and payable separately by such tenants;

	(k)
	costs
of repairs, restoration, replacements or other work occasioned by the gross negligence or intentional tort of Landlord; and

	(l)
	except
with respect to ADA, costs incurred to correct violations by Landlord of any law, rule, order or regulation which was in effect as of the date of execution of this Lease. 

    6.5  Audit of Net Costs.  Tenant may dispute the annual statement submitted by Landlord which sets forth
the net costs for the calendar year to which such statement applies. If Tenant disputes the amount of such statement, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice thereof within 90 days after
Tenant's receipt of such statement. If Tenant does not give Landlord notice within such 90 day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to dispute the amounts contained in such
statement. If Tenant timely objects, Tenant may engage it's own certified public accountants to verify the accuracy of the annual statement. If Tenant's accountants shall determine that an error has
been made, Landlord's accountants and Tenant's accountants shall endeavor to agree upon the matter, failing which such matter shall be
submitted to an independent certified public accountant selected by Landlord, with Tenant's reasonable approval, whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. All costs
incurred by Tenant for Tenant's accountant shall be paid for by Tenant, provided, however, that in the event that Tenant's accountants disclose an error of 5% or more to the detriment of Tenant,
Landlord shall pay the reasonable costs of Tenant's accountants in performing the review. If it is determined that any portion of the net costs were not properly chargeable to Tenant, then Landlord
shall promptly credit or refund the appropriate sum to Tenant. 

 
 

7. CONDITION, REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS

    7.1  Condition of Leased Premises.  Landlord shall provide the Leased Premises to Tenant, and Tenant
accepts the Leased Premises in the "AS IS" condition (except for latent defects disclosed in writing to Landlord by Tenant within one year after the
Commencement Date), and Landlord makes no representations, covenants or warranties whatsoever concerning the condition of the Leased Premises and has no obligation to construct, remodel, improve,
repair, decorate or paint the Leased Premises or any improvement on or part of the Leased Premises, except as set forth in Articles 7.4 or 10.1. Tenant represents and warrants that it has inspected
the Leased Premises prior to execution of the Lease, and that it is relying on its own inspection in executing this Lease and not any statement, representation or warranty of Landlord, its agents,
employees or contractors. Tenant's taking possession of the Leased Premises shall be deemed conclusive evidence that as of the date of taking possession the Leased Premises are in good order and
satisfactory condition. 

    The
Building shall consist of a shell building structure as outlined in the architectural plans by Butler Design Group, L.L.C., dated April 7, 1998, sheets CS,
C1-C13, LO1-LO9, AO.1-AO.5, AO1.1-AO1.5, AO2.1-AO2.5, A3, A4, S1.l, S1.2, S2.1, S2.2, S3.1, S3.2, S4.1-S4.5, S5.1, S5.2, S6.1,
S6.2,

S7.1, P-l, P-2, El.l, El.2, E2.1, E2.2, E3.1, and the specifications therefor. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has received a copy of the plans for the Building. 

    7.2  Alterations and Improvements.  Except for any improvements to the Leased Premises to be constructed
by Tenant pursuant to the Exhibit "D", Tenant shall not place partitions and fixtures or make any improvements or other alterations to the interior of
the Leased Premises without prior to commencing any such work obtaining the written consent of Landlord to the proposed work, including the approval by Landlord of the plans, specifications, the
proposed architect and/or contractor(s) for such alterations and/or improvements, and the materials used in connection with such alterations, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; provided, however, that Tenant may make cosmetic changes to the interior finish of the Leased Premises without first obtaining the prior approval of Landlord and Tenant may make alterations
to the Leased Premises that are not structural in nature without
Landlord's prior approval (but only after delivery to Landlord of the plans and specifications therefor) if the costs of such alterations do not exceed $20,000.00 in any 1-month period.
Landlord may, as a condition to consenting to such work (where such consent shall be required), require that Tenant provide security adequate in Landlord's judgment so that the improvements or other
alterations to the interior of the Leased Premises will be completed in a good and workmanlike manner. Landlord may also require that any work done to the Leased Premises for which Landlord's consent
shall be required be done by employees or contractors approved in advance by Landlord, but at Tenant's expense. All improvements and alterations to the interior of the Leased Premises for which
Landlord's approval shall be required shall be subject to the supervision of Landlord or its designee. All such improvements or alterations must conform to and be in substantial accordance in quality
and appearance with those improvements and alterations that are standard for the Building as described in Exhibit "F", and upon completion shall be the
property of Landlord. In the event Landlord consents to the use by Tenant of its own architect and/or contractor for the installation of any such alterations or improvements, prior to the commencement
of such work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant's contractor has procured worker's compensation, liability and property damage insurance (naming Landlord as an additional
insured) in a form and in an amount reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and evidence that Tenant's architect and/or contractor has procured the necessary permits, certificates and approvals from the
appropriate governmental authorities. Tenant acknowledges, and agrees that any review by Landlord of Tenant's plans and specifications and/or right of approval exercised by Landlord with respect to
Tenant's architect and/or contractor is for Landlord's benefit only and Landlord shall not, by virtue of such review or right of approval, be deemed to make any representation, warranty or
acknowledgment to Tenant or to any other person or entity as to the adequacy of Tenant's plans and specifications or as to the ability, capability, or reputation of Tenant's architect and/or
contractor. 

    7.3  Tenant's Obligations.  Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, maintain the Leased Premises
in a clean, neat and sanitary condition and shall keep the Leased Premises and every part thereof (including without limitation, interior walls, floor coverings, ceilings (including tiles and grid)
all improvements to the Leased Premises (including the Tenant Improvement Work (as defined in the Work Letter) outlets and fixtures in good condition and repair except where the same is required to be
done by Landlord pursuant to Article 7.4. Tenant hereby waives all rights to make repairs at the expense of Landlord as provided by any law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises, including Tenant's alterations and/or improvements, to Landlord, janitorial clean and in the
same condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear and damage from casualty excepted. Except as set forth in Article 7.4 below, Landlord has no obligation to construct, remodel, improve,
repair, decorate or paint the Leased Premises or any improvement thereon or part thereof. Tenant shall pay for any repairs to the Leased Premises, the Building and the Property made necessary by any
action or inaction of Tenant, its employees, contractors, agents or invitees.

    7.4  Landlord's Obligations.  Landlord shall make all necessary repairs to the structural portion of the
roof, foundation, floors and exterior walls of the Building and shall operate and maintain the Building in a neat and professional manner consistent with similar buildings located in the Phoenix
metropolitan area. Subject to reimbursement by Tenant pursuant to Article 6, Landlord shall keep the Building and the Building Common Areas in a clean, neat and attractive condition, and keep
the Building equipment not exclusively serving the Leased Premises in good repair, but Landlord shall not be liable or
responsible for breakdowns or interruptions in service when reasonable efforts are made to restore such service. 

    7.5  Removal of Alterations.  Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
remove from the Leased Premises all movable trade fixtures and Tenant's personal property, and shall promptly repair any damage to the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property caused by such
removal. All such removal and repair shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense. All repairs required of Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall be performed in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, and shall include, but not be limited to, repairing plumbing, electrical wiring and holes in walls, restoring damaged floor and/or ceiling tiles, repairing any other cosmetic
damage, and cleaning the Leased Premises. 

    7.6  No Abatement.  Except as provided herein, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, nor shall
Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease, including without limitation, Tenant's obligation to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent, be reduced or abated in any manner whatsoever by reason of
any inconvenience, annoyance, interruption or injury to business arising from Landlord's making any repairs or changes which Landlord is required or permitted to make pursuant to the terms of this
Lease or by any other tenant's Lease or are required by law to be made in and to any portion of the Leased Premises, the Building or the Property. Landlord shall, nevertheless, use reasonable efforts
to minimize any interference with Tenant's business in the Leased Premises. 

    7.7  Antenna.  Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to install, at Tenant's sole cost, a
non-penetrating satellite dish or telecommunications antenna (the "Antenna") on the roof of the Building. The location of such Antenna shall be determined by Landlord in Landlord's sole
discretion. Landlord may require Tenant to remove the Antenna and/or re-install and relocate it in a different area of the roof at any time, and Tenant shall thereafter remove and
re-install such Antenna at Tenant's cost. If required by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant's cost, screen the Antenna from view in a manner reasonably provided by Landlord. The
installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the Antenna shall be in accordance with all laws, rules and regulations. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and its tenants,
invitees, representatives and agents harmless for, from and against any and all damages suffered by the same arising out of or related to any such installation, repair, maintenance or replacement by
Tenant (including, without limitation, damage to the roof or Building). Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove the Antenna, repair any and all damage to the roof
occasioned by such removal, and shall restore the roof to its condition prior to the installation thereof. Tenant may not sublease or assign the rights granted to Tenant under this Article 7.7
except as part of an assignment or sublet of all Tenant's rights in and to this Lease, as permitted by the express terms hereof. 

 
 

8. UTILITIES

    8.1  Utilities.  Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall promptly pay all charges for heat,
water, gas, telephone, electricity or any other utility used or consumed in the Leased Premises. Should Landlord elect to supply the water, gas, heat, electricity or any other utility used or consumed
in the Leased Premises, Tenant agrees to purchase any such utilities from Landlord and pay for same as Additional Rent. Tenant agrees to cooperate fully at all times with Landlord to abide by all
rules, regulations and requirements for the use and conservation of the above utilities. Any failure to pay any 

8

 

amounts owed by Tenant under this Article shall constitute a breach of the obligation to pay rent under this Lease and shall entitle Landlord to the rights granted in this Lease for such breach. 

    8.2  Intentionally Deleted.  

    8.3  Interruptions in Service.  Landlord does not warrant that any of the foregoing utilities or any
other services which Landlord may elect to supply will be free from interruption. Tenant acknowledges that any one or more of such utilities or services may be suspended by reason of accident,
repairs, inspections, alterations or improvements necessary to be made, or by strikes or lockouts, or by reason of operation of law, or by causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Landlord
shall not be liable for and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of Basic Rent or Additional Rent by reason of any disruption of any utilities or any services that may be
provided by Landlord from time to time; provided, however, that in the event any of the foregoing services provided by Landlord shall be unavailable for more than five continuous days, then in such
event, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Basic Rent to the extent that it shall be unable to use the Leased Premises until such time as the services shall be restored. Tenant specifically
agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation to provide telephone service to the Leased Premises, and that it shall be Tenant's sole responsibility to contract with the applicable utility for such
service. 

 
 

9. LIABILITY AND PROPERTY INSURANCE

    9.1  Liability Insurance.  Tenant shall, during the Lease Term, keep in full force and effect, a policy
or policies of commercial general liability insurance for personal injury (including wrongful death) and damage to property covering (a) any occurrence in the Leased Premises, (b) any
act or omission by Tenant, by any subtenant of Tenant, or by any of their respective invitees, agents, contractors, servants or employees anywhere in the Leased Premises or the Property,
(c) the business operated by Tenant and by any subtenant of Tenant in the Leased Premises, and (d) the contractual liability of Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the indemnification
provisions of Article 16 below, which coverage shall not be less than $3,000,000.00 per occurrence and $3,000,000.00 combined single limit. If Landlord shall so request, Tenant shall increase
the amount of such liability insurance to the amount then customary for premises and uses similar to the Leased Premises and Tenant's use thereof. The liability policy or
policies shall contain an endorsement naming Landlord, its partners, members or shareholders (as applicable), Landlord's lender and management agent and any persons, firms or corporations designated
by Landlord as additional insureds, and shall provide that the insurance carrier shall have the duty to defend and/or settle any legal proceeding filed against Landlord seeking damages based upon
bodily injury or property damage liability even if any of the allegations of such legal proceedings are groundless, false or fraudulent. 

    9.2  Property Insurance.  Tenant shall, during the Lease Term, keep in full force and effect, a policy or
policies of insurance with "Special Form Coverage," including coverage for vandalism or malicious mischief, insuring the Tenant Improvement Work and Tenant's alterations and/or improvements and

effect, a policy or policies of worker's compensation insurance with an insurance carrier and in amounts approved by the Industrial Commission of the State of Arizona.

    9.5  Insurance Requirements.  Each insurance policy and certificate thereof obtained by Tenant pursuant
to this Lease shall contain a clause that the insurer will provide Landlord with at least 30 days prior written notice of any material change, non-renewal or cancellation of the
policy. Each such insurance policy shall be with an insurance company authorized to do business in the State of Arizona 

9

 

and rated not less than A-VIII in the then most current edition of "Best's Key Rating Guide". Certified copies of all insurance policies evidencing the coverage under each such policy, as
well as a certified copy of the required additional insured endorsement(s) shall be delivered to Landlord no less than 15 days prior to the Commencement Date. Each such policy shall provide
that any loss payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding (a) any act, omission or neglect by Tenant or by any subtenant of Tenant, or (b) any occupation or use of the Leased
Premises or any portion thereof by Tenant or by any subtenant of Tenant for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of such policy or policies, or (c) any foreclosure or other
action or proceeding taken by any mortgagee or trustee pursuant to any provision of any mortgage or deed of trust covering the Leased Premises, the Building or the Property, or (d) any change
in title or ownership of the Property. All insurance policies required pursuant to this Article 9 shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with or in excess of any coverage which
Landlord may carry. Tenant shall procure and maintain all policies entirely at its own expense and shall, at least 20 days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with
certified copies of replacement policies or renewal certificates for existing policies. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies maintained by
Landlord or the insurance policies required pursuant to this Article 9 or the coverage thereunder. If Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant does or permits to be done anything which shall increase
the cost of any insurance
policies maintained by Landlord, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any additional premiums attributable to any act or omission or operation of Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant causing such
increase in the cost of insurance. Any such amount shall be payable as Additional Rent within 5 days after receipt by Tenant of a bill from Landlord. All policies of insurance shall name both
Landlord and Tenant (and/or such other party or parties as Landlord may require) as insureds and shall be endorsed to indicate that the coverage provided shall not be invalid due to any act or
omission on the part of Landlord. In addition, the policy of property insurance described in Article 9.2 shall name Landlord (and Landlord's lender, if Landlord shall so require) as a
co-loss payee. 

    9.6  Co-Insurance.  If on account of the failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions of
this Article 9, Landlord is deemed a co-insurer by its insurance carrier, then any loss or damage which Landlord shall sustain by reason thereof shall be borne by Tenant, and shall
be paid by Tenant within 5 days after receipt of a bill therefor. 

    9.7  Adequacy of Insurance.  Landlord makes no representation or warranty to Tenant that the amount of
insurance to be carried by Tenant under the terms of this Lease is adequate to fully protect Tenant's interests. If Tenant believes that the amount of any such insurance is insufficient, Tenant is
encouraged to obtain, at its sole cost and expense, such additional insurance as Tenant may deem desirable or adequate. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not, by the fact of approving,
disapproving, waiving, accepting, or obtaining any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of such insurance, the solvency
of any insurance companies or the payment or defense of any lawsuit in connection with such insurance coverage, and Tenant hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if
any, with respect thereto. 

    9.8  Landlord Insurance.  Landlord shall maintain fire and extended coverage insurance and any other such
insurance as Landlord shall deem appropriate for the Building and Property, including without limitation environmental, loss of rent insurance, plate glass insurance and insurance on additions and
improvements required to be made by Tenant and which have become or are to become the property of Landlord upon vacation of the Leased Premises by Tenant, in amounts reasonably determined by Landlord,
but in any event no less than the full replacement cost thereof. Such insurance shall be maintained with insurance company(s) authorized to do business in Arizona and the proceeds of such insurance
shall be payable solely to Landlord. If the annual premiums paid by Landlord shall exceed the standard rates for comparable buildings as a result of Tenant's use of the Leased Premises or the value of
the contents thereof, Tenant shall promptly pay within thirty (30) days 

10

 

written notice thereof from Landlord the excess amount of such premiums. Landlord shall maintain a policy or policies of comprehensive general liability insurance with insurance company(s) authorized
to do business in Arizona in amounts that Landlord shall reasonably determine, such insurance to afford minimum protection of not less than $1,000,000.00 in respect of personal injury or death in
respect to any one occurrence, and of not less than $1,000,000.00 for property damage in any one occurrence. 

 
 

10. RECONSTRUCTION

    10.1  Obligation to Repair.  In the event of any damage to the Leased Premises, Tenant shall promptly
notify Landlord in writing thereof. If the Leased Premises or any part of the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty, the damage to the Building and/or the Leased Premises shall be repaired by
and at the expense of Landlord, excluding any alterations or improvements made by Tenant (including, without limitation, the Tenant Improvement Work), unless this Lease is terminated in accordance
with the provisions of Article 10.2 below. Until such repairs by Landlord are completed, Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated in proportion to the part of the Leased Premises which is
unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such damage is due in whole or in part to the fault or neglect of Tenant, or any
subtenant of Tenant, or any of their respective agents, employees, servants, contractors or invitees, there shall be no abatement of Basic Rent or Additional Rent and Tenant shall be required to
repair all such damage at its sole cost and expense. There shall be no abatement of Basic Rent or Additional Rent on account of damage to the Building or the Property unless there is also damage to
the Leased Premises or unless Tenant shall not have access to the Leased Premises as a result of such damage. 

    10.2  Cancellation Option.  If the damage is not fully covered by Landlord's insurance, or if Landlord
determines in good faith that the cost of repairing the damage is more than two-thirds of the then-replacement cost of the Building, or if Landlord has determined in good faith
that the required repairs to the Building cannot be made within 120 days of the date of the damage without the payment of overtime and other premiums, or in the event a Superior Mortgagee
requires that all or any portion of the insurance proceeds be applied in reduction of the mortgage debt, or if such damage occurs during the final year of the Lease Term, then Landlord may, by written
notice to Tenant within 60 clays after the occurrence of such damage, terminate this Lease as of the date set forth in Landlord's notice to Tenant. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease,
Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair the Building and the Leased Premises, excluding any alterations or improvements made by Tenant, and while such repair work is being performed, the
Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated as provided above. Nothing in this Article shall be construed as a limitation of Tenant's liability for any such damage, should such liability otherwise
exist. 

    In
the event that damage or destruction of the Leased Premises (which for purposes of this paragraph only shall mean the Leased Premises and any areas of the Building necessary for
Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises) shall (a) not be repaired by Landlord within 5 months of the date that Landlord shall receive the insurance proceeds for such damage or
destruction or (b) occur during the last 6 months of the initial term hereof or the last 6 months of any extension term, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
giving Landlord written notice thereof, which notice must be served no later than 30 days after the date that such right to terminate shall arise. 

    10.3  Reconstruction.  Landlord's obligation to reconstruct the Leased Premises shall be only to the
comparable condition of the Leased Premises immediately prior to the Commencement Date. Landlord's obligation to repair and reconstruct the Leased Premises shall be limited to the amount of
net proceeds of insurance received by Landlord, subject to reduction by a Superior Mortgagee. In the event that Tenant shall not exercise its right to terminate the Lease as provided in
Article 10.2, then Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for the repair and restoration of all items of the Tenant Improvement Work or Tenant's improvements and/or
alterations installed on the Leased Premises and the replacement of Tenant's stock in trade, trade fixtures, furniture, finishings and 

11

 

equipment. In the event that Tenant shall not exercise its right to terminate the Lease as provided in Article 10.2, then Tenant shall commence the installation of fixtures, equipment and
merchandise promptly upon delivery to Tenant of possession of the Leased Premises and shall diligently prosecute such installation to completion. 

    10.4  Waiver.  Tenant hereby waives any statutory and common law rights of termination which may arise by
reason of any partial or total destruction of the Leased Premises which Landlord is obligated to restore or may restore under any of the provisions of this Lease, including the provisions of ARS
§ 33-343. 

 
 

11. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

    Anything
in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or cause of action, against the other, its
agents, officers, or employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Leased Premises, or any improvements thereto, or the Building or any improvements thereto, or any personal property of such
party therein, by reason of fire, the elements, or any other cause which could be insured against under the terms of standard fire and extended coverage insurance policies required to be maintained
according to this Lease, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of the other party hereto, its agents, officers or employees, and covenants that no insurer shall hold any right of
subrogation against such other party. 

 
 

12. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT OBLIGATIONS

    All
covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement of
Basic Rent or Additional Rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Basic Rent, required to be paid by it hereunder, or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be
performed hereunder, and such failure shall continue for 5 days after notice thereof by Landlord, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to do so) without waiving or releasing Tenant from any
of Tenant's obligations, make any such payment or perform any such other act on behalf of Tenant. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon at the
greater of (a) 8% per annum or (b) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced, quoted or published, from time to time, by Bank of
America, at its Phoenix, Arizona office as its "reference rate" plus 4 percentage points, from the date of such payment by Landlord until reimbursement in full by Tenant (the "Interest Rate"),
shall be payable to Landlord as Additional Rent with the next monthly installment of Basic Rent; provided, however, in no event shall the Interest Rate exceed the maximum rate (if any) permitted by
applicable law. 

 
 

13. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

    13.1  Event of Default.  The occurrence of any one or more of the following events will constitute an
"Event of Default" on the part of Tenant: 

    (a) Failure
to pay all or any installment of Basic Rent within 3 days after delivery of written to Tenant of such failure; provided, however, that Landlord shall
only be required to provide only one such notice during any 3 month period, and after such notice is delivered, any additional failure to pay Basic Rent on the date due shall be an automatic
default; 

    (b) Failure
to pay any Additional Rent or other payments required to be paid by Tenant under this lease as the same becomes due, and such failure shall continue for
7 days after delivery of written notice to Tenant of such failure; 

12

 

    (c) Failure to perform any of the other covenants or conditions which Tenant is required to observe and perform (except failure in the payment of Basic Rent, Additional
Rent or any other monetary obligation contained in this Lease) and such failure shall continue for 30 days (or such shorter period of time as may be specified by Landlord in the event of an
emergency) after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant, provided that if such default is other than the payment of money and cannot be cured within such 30 day period, then an Event of
Default shall not have occurred if Tenant, within such 30 day period, commences curing of such failure and diligently in good faith prosecutes the same to completion and furnishes evidence
thereof to Landlord within 30 days thereafter; 

    (d) If
any warranty, representation or statement made by Tenant to Landlord in connection with this Lease is or was materially false or misleading when made or
furnished; 

    (e) Failure
to conduct business operations within the Leased Premises for 20 days in any one year period; 

    (f)  The
occurrence of an Event of Default under any other lease (including all exhibits, schedules and amendments thereto) between Landlord and Tenant; 

    (g) The
levy of a writ of attachment or execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets or its interest in this Lease, such attachment,
execution or other seizure remaining undismissed or discharged for a period of 30 days after the levy thereof; 

    (h) The
filing of any petition by or against Tenant or any Guarantor to declare Tenant or any Guarantor in bankrupt or to delay, reduce or modify Tenant's or any
Guarantor's debts or obligations, which petition is not discharged within forty 45 days after the date of filing; 

    (i)  The
filing of any petition or other action taken to reorganize or modify Tenant's or any Guarantor's capital structure, which petition is not discharged within
45 days after the date of filing; 

    (j)  If
Tenant or any Guarantor shall be declared insolvent according to law; 

    (k) A
general assignment by Tenant or any Guarantor for the benefit of creditors; 

    (l)  The
appointment of a receiver or trustee for Tenant or any Guarantor or all or any of their respective property, which appointment is not discharged within
45 days after the date of filing; 

    (m) The
filing by Tenant or any Guarantor of a voluntary petition pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any successor thereto or the filing of an involuntary petition
against Tenant or any Guarantor pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any successor legislation, which petition is not discharged within 45 days after the date of filing; or 

    (n) The
occurrence of an Event of Default under the other provisions of this Lease. 

    13.2  Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease by Tenant, Landlord may,
without prejudice to any other rights and remedies to a Landlord at law, in equity or by statute, exercise one or more of the following remedies, all of which shall be construed and held to be
cumulative and non-exclusive: (a) terminate this Lease and re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises, in which event Landlord is authorized to make such
repairs, redecorating, refurbishment or improvements to the Leased Premises as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of Landlord acting in good faith for the purposes of reletting the Leased
Premises and the costs and expenses incurred in respect of such repairs, redecorating refurbishment and the expenses of such reletting (including brokerage commissions) shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord within 5 days after receipt of Landlord's statement; or (b) without terminating this Lease, re-enter and take possession of the Leased Premises; or
(c) without such re-entry, recover possession of the Leased Premises in the manner prescribed by any statute relating to summary process, and any demand for Basic Rent,
re-entry for condition broken, and any and all notices to quit, or other formalities of any nature to which Tenant 

13

 

may be entitled, are hereby specifically waived to the extent permitted by law; or (d) without terminating this Lease, Landlord may relet the Leased Premises as Landlord may see fit without
thereby avoiding or terminating this Lease, and for the purposes of such reletting, Landlord is authorized to make such repairs, redecorating, refurbishments, or improvements to the Leased Premises as
may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of Landlord acting in good faith for the purpose of such reletting, and if a sufficient sum is not realized from such reletting (after payment of all costs
and expenses of such repairs, redecorating and refurbishments and expenses of such reflecting (including brokerage commissions) and the collection of rent accruing therefrom) each month to equal the
Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency each month within 5 days after receipt of Landlord's statement; or (e) Landlord may declare
immediately due and payable all the remaining installments of Basic Rent and Additional Rent, and such amount, less the fair rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term,
shall be paid by Tenant within 5 days after receipt of Landlord's statement. Landlord shall not by re-entry or any other act, be deemed to have terminated this Lease, or the
liability of Tenant for the total Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved hereunder or for any installment thereof then due or thereafter accruing, or for damages, unless Landlord notifies Tenant in
writing that Landlord has so elected to terminate this Lease. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the acceptance of Basic Rent or Additional Rent, or the failure to re-enter by
Landlord, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Landlord's right to thereafter terminate this Lease and exercise any other rights and remedies available to it, and Landlord may re-enter
and take possession of the Leased Premises as if no Basic Rent or Additional Rent had been accepted after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default, Tenant shall also pay to
Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including court costs and attorneys' fees, in retaking or otherwise obtaining possession of the Leased Premises, removing and storing all
equipment, fixtures and personal property on the Leased Premises and otherwise enforcing any of Landlord's rights and remedies arising as a result of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Leased Premises in the event Landlord shall recover possession of the Leased Premises pursuant to an
Event of Default by Tenant. 

    13.3  Additional Remedies.  All of the remedies given to Landlord in this Lease in the event Tenant
commits an Event of Default are in addition to all other rights or remedies available to a landlord at law, in equity or by statute, including, without limitation, the right to seize and sell all
goods, equipment and personal property of Tenant located in the Leased Premises and apply the proceeds thereof to all due and unpaid Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts owing under the
Lease. All rights, options and remedies available to Landlord shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default which
is not expressly waived by Landlord in writing, all rights, privileges and contingencies which may be exercised by Tenant under the Lease, including, without limitation, options to renew, extend and
expand, as well as relocation rights, contraction rights and any other rights which may be exercised by Tenant during the Lease Term, shall be void and of no further force and effect. 

    13.4  Interest on Past Due Amounts.  In addition to the late charge described in Article 14 below,
if any installment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent is not paid promptly when due, it shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date due; provided, however, this provision shall not relieve
Tenant from any default in the making of any payment at the time and in the manner required by this Lease. 

    13.5  Default by Landlord.  Landlord shall be in default in the performance of any obligations required
to be performed by Landlord under the Lease if Landlord has failed to perform such obligation within 30 days after the receipt of notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord's failure to
perform; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than 30 calendar days are required for its performance, Landlord shall not be deemed in default if it shall
commence such performance within 30 days and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. 

14

 
 
 

14. LATE PAYMENTS

    Tenant
hereby acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any monthly installment of Basic Rent, any Additional Rent or any other sums due hereunder will cause
Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include but are not limited to processing,
administrative and accounting costs. Accordingly, if any monthly installment of Basic Rent, any Additional Rent or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord within 10 days
after the date due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to 2% of such overdue amount. Tenant acknowledges that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs
Landlord will incur by reason of late payments by Tenant. Neither assessment nor acceptance of a late charge by Landlord shall constitute a waiver of Tenant's default by Landlord with respect to such
overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder. 

 
 

15. ABANDONMENT AND SURRENDER

    15.1  Abandonment.  Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the Leased Premises at any time during the Lease
Term. No act or thing done by Landlord or by any agent or employee of Landlord during the Lease
Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Leased Premises unless such acceptance is expressed in writing and duly executed by Landlord. Unless Landlord so agrees in writing, the
delivery of the key to the Leased Premises to any employee or agent of Landlord shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or as a surrender of the Leased Premises. 

    15.2  Surrender.  Tenant shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, peaceably
surrender the Leased Premises, including the Tenant Improvement Work and Tenant's improvements and/or alterations installed pursuant to Article 7, in a janitorial clean condition and otherwise
in as good condition as when Tenant took possession, except for (i) reasonable wear and tear subsequent to the last repair, replacement, restoration, alteration or renewal; (ii) loss by
fire or other casualty, and (iii) loss by condemnation. If Tenant shall abandon, vacate or surrender the Leased Premises, or be dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any personal
property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and left in the Leased Premises shall be deemed abandoned and, at Landlord's option, title shall pass to Landlord under this Lease as by a bill of sale.
Landlord may, however, elect to remove all or any part of such personal property from the Leased Premises, and the reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such removal, including
storage costs and the cost of repairing any damage to the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property caused by such removal shall be paid by Tenant within 30 days after receipt of
Landlord's statement. Upon the expiration or-earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord all keys to the Leased Premises and shall inform Landlord of the
combination of any vaults, locks and safes left on the Leased Premises. The obligations of Tenant under this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall
give written notice to Landlord at least 30 days prior to vacating the Leased Premises for the express purpose of arranging a meeting with Landlord for a joint inspection of the Leased
Premises. In the event of Tenant's failure to give such notice or to participate in such joint inspection, Landlord's inspection at or after Tenant's vacation of the Leased Premises shall be
conclusively deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant's liability for repairs and restoration hereunder. 

 
 

16. INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION

    16.1  Tenant Indemnification.  Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless for,
from and against, and shall be responsible for, all claims, damages, losses, costs, liens, encumbrances, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys', accountants' and investigators' fees
and court costs (collectively, the "Claims"), however caused, arising in whole or in part from Tenant's use of all or any part of the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property, or the conduct
of Tenant's business or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or by any 

15

 

invitee, servant, agent, contractor, employee or subtenant of Tenant in the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property, and shall further indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless
for, from and against, and shall be responsible for, all claims arising in whole or in part from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the
terms of this Lease or arising in whole or in part from any act, neglect, fault or omission by Tenant or
by any invitee, servant, agent, contractor, employee or subtenant of Tenant anywhere in the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property. In case any action or proceeding is brought against
Landlord to which this indemnification shall be applicable, Tenant shall pay all Claims resulting therefrom and shall defend such action or proceeding, if Landlord shall so request, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The obligations of Tenant under this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall not be obligated to indemnify Landlord with respect to Claims that arise solely from the negligence or intentional act of Landlord or Landlord's employees, contractors or
officers. 

    16.2  Landlord Indemnification.  Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless for, from and
against all claims, damages, losses, costs, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys', accountants' and investigators' fees and court costs (collectively, the "Tenant Claims"),
asserted against Tenant by reason of the negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or any of Landlord's employees, officers or contractors in operating the Building. If any such claim is
asserted against Tenant, or if legal action with respect to any such claim is commenced against Tenant, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of the same. 

    16.3  Exculpation.  Subject to the terms of Section 16.2 above, Tenant, as a material part of the
consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property, injury and death to persons and all claims of any other nature resulting from Tenant's use of all or any part of the Leased
Premises, the Building and/or the Property, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord. Neither Landlord nor its agents or employees shall be liable for loss of or damage
to any property of Tenant by theft or otherwise. Landlord shall not be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from any cause, including, but not limited to, fire, explosion,
falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, sewage, odor, noise, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Building or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works therein, or from the roof of
any structure on the Property, or from any streets or subsurfaces on or adjacent to the Building or the Property, or from any other place or resulting from dampness or any other causes whatsoever,
unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Neither Landlord nor its employees or agents shall be liable for any defects in the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the
Property, nor shall Landlord be liable for the negligence or misconduct, including, but not limited to, criminal acts, by maintenance or other personnel or contractors serving the Leased Premises, the
Building and/or the Property, other tenants or third parties, unless Landlord is grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct. All property of Tenant kept or stored on the Property shall be so
kept or stored at the risk of Tenant only, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold landlord harmless for, from and against, and shall be responsible for, any Claims arising out of damage to the
same, including subrogation claims by Tenant's insurance carriers, unless such damage shall be caused by the willful act or gross neglect of Landlord and through no fault of Tenant. None of the events
or conditions set forth in this Article shall be deemed a constructive or actual eviction or result in a termination of this Lease, nor shall Tenant be entitled to "any abatement or reduction of Basic
Rent or Additional Rent by reason thereof. 

16

  

    16.4  Limitations and Liability.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS LEASE, LANDLORD AND
TENANT AGREE THAT: 

	(a)
	EXCEPT
AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 16.2 ABOVE, NONE OF THE FOLLOWING WILL CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF THE COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AN ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE EVICTION OF TENANT, OR A
LANDLORD DEFAULT, OR OTHERWISE GIVE RISE TO ANY LIABILITY BY LANDLORD (AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES ALL CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, OR OTHER RIGHTS OF RECOVERY IT MAY EVER HAVE AGAINST LANDLORD
FOR): (I) THE UNAVAILABILITY, CURTAILMENT, INTERRUPTION, FLUCTUATION, INADEQUACY, OR OTHER DEFECT IN ANY OF THE SERVICES FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED BY LANDLORD PURSUANT TO THIS LEASE AS A
RESULT OF ANY FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION OF, OR DAMAGE TO ANY LINES, EQUIPMENT, OR OTHER FACILITIES ON THE PROPERTY OR ELSEWHERE, ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY UTILITY COMPANY, THE REQUIREMENTS OF ANY LAW,
THE UNAVAILABILITY OF MATERIALS OR SUPPLIES, OR ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE OUTSIDE OF LANDLORD'S REASONABLE CONTROL SO LONG AS LANDLORD IN GOOD FAITH ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES AS QUICKLY AS
REASONABLY POSSIBLE, (II) ANY DESIGN OR OTHER DEFECT IN THE PHYSICAL STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING, IN THE MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, AND PLUMBING SYSTEMS OF THE PROPERTY, OR IN THE TENANT
IMPROVEMENTS OR ANY OTHER IMPROVEMENTS ON THE PROPERTY SO LONG AS LANDLORD IN GOOD FAITH ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THE DEFECT AS QUICKLY AS REASONABLY POSSIBLE; OR (III) ANY REPAIRS, REPLACEMENTS,
MAINTENANCE, ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS, OR IMPROVEMENTS TO ANY PART OF THE PROPERTY SO LONG AS SUCH ACTIVITIES ARE CONDUCTED WITHOUT UNREASONABLE INTERFERENCE WITH TENANT'S USE OF THE PREMISES.

	(b)
	EXCEPT
AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 16.2 ABOVE, NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS WILL BE LIABLE AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVES AND RELEASES ALL CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION,
OR OTHER RIGHTS OF RECOVERY IT MAY EVER HAVE AGAINST LANDLORD OR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS FOR (I) THEFT OR OTHER CRIMES OR SIMILAR MISCONDUCT ON THE PROPERTY BY PERSONS OTHER THAN
LANDLORD AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS; (II) NEGLIGENT OR OTHER ACTS OR OMISSIONS BY OTHER TENANTS OR OCCUPANTS OF THE PROPERTY OR THEIR EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, CUSTOMERS, OR

(IV) ANY LOSS OF BUSINESS OR PROFITS OF TENANT OR OTHER CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; OR (V) EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND. 

17

 

	(c)
	TENANT
AGREES TO LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY DAMAGES OR OTHER SUMS OF MONEY THAT LANDLORD MAY EVER OWE TENANT UNDER OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS LEASE, AND LANDLORD WILL NEVER BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR PAYMENT OF ANY SUCH DAMAGES OR OTHER SUMS OF MONEY, OR ANY JUDGMENT THEREFOR. 

 
 

17. ENTRY BY LANDLORD    
  

    Landlord reserves and shall at all reasonable times and after reasonable notice (except in an emergency, where no notice shall be required) have the right to
enter the Leased Premises to inspect the same, to supply janitorial service and other services to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to submit the Leased Premises to prospective purchasers,
or tenants (during the last 6 months of the Lease term), to post notices of non-responsibility, and to alter, improve or repair the Leased Premises and any portion of the Building
of which the Leased Premises are a part, without abatement of Basic Rent or Additional Rent, and may for that purpose erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the
character of the work to be performed, always providing that access into the Leased Premises shall not be blocked thereby, and further providing that the business of Tenant shall not be interfered
with unreasonably. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises
or any loss occasioned thereby, except where such loss is due to negligence of Landlord. Entry by Landlord shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry
into, or a detainer of, the Leased Premises or an eviction of Tenant from all or any portion of the Leased Premises. Nothing in this Article shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any
repairs, alterations or maintenance except as otherwise expressly required elsewhere in this Lease. 

 
 

18. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING    
  

    18.1  Consent of Landlord Required.  Tenant shall not transfer or assign this Lease or any right or
interest hereunder, or sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof, without first obtaining Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. It will be reasonable
for Landlord to withhold its consent to a Transfer (as hereinafter defined) if, by example and not be way of limitation, (a) the transferee is not creditworthy and of a good business
reputation, (b) intentionally deleted, (c) the rental or other consideration payable by the transferee will be less than that paid by tenants under new leases of comparable space in the
Building, (d) Landlord otherwise reasonably determines that the Transfer will decrease the value of the Property or increase the cost of operating the Property, or (e) the Transfer will
cause Landlord to be in violation of a lease, lease proposal, mortgage, or other
contract by which Landlord is bound. No transfer or assignment (whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise) or subletting shall be valid or effective without such prior written
consent. Should Tenant attempt to make or allow to be made any such transfer, assignment or subletting (collectively, a "Transfer"), except as aforesaid, or should any of Tenant's rights under this
Lease be sold or otherwise transferred by or under court order or legal process or otherwise, then such act shall be deemed void. Should Landlord consent to a Transfer, such consent shall not
constitute a waiver of any of the restrictions or prohibitions of this Article 18.1, and such restrictions or prohibitions shall apply to each successive Transfer hereunder, if any. 

    Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Article 18, Landlord agrees not to withhold its consent to a Transfer to a transferee that is an affiliate of Tenant and assumes the
Lease, who will use the Premises only for the Permitted Use, and whose occupancy will not cause Landlord to be in violation of any lease, lease proposal, mortgage, or other contract by which Landlord
is bound (a "Permitted Transfer"). For this purpose, an "affiliate" is a person or entity that is under the control and majority 

18

 

ownership of Tenant, that controls or owns a majority of Tenant, that is under common control and majority ownership with Tenant or an entity that has purchased all or substantially all of Tenant's
assets. 

    18.2  Deemed Transfers.  For the purposes of this Article 18, an assignment shall be deemed to
include (without limitation) the following: (a) if Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change (voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise) of any of the partners thereof a
purported assignment, transfer, mortgage or encumbrance (voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise) by any partner thereof of such partner's interest in Tenant, or the dissolution of
the partnership; (b) if Tenant (or a constituent partner of Tenant) is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of Tenant (or such constituent partner), or any
change in the ownership (voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law, creation of new stock or otherwise) of 20% or more of its capital stock from the ownership existing on the date set forth in
Article 1 above; or (c) if Tenant is a limited liability company, a withdrawal or change of any of the members thereof, a purported assignment, transfer, mortgage or encumbrance
(voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise) by any member of such member's interest in Tenant, or the dissolution of the limited liability company. 

    18.3  Delivery of Information.  If Tenant wishes at any time to Transfer the Lease Premises or any
portion thereof, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord: (a) the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (b) the nature of the
proposed subtenant's or assignee's business to be carried on in the Leased Premises; (c) the terms and the provisions of the proposed sublease or assignment; and (d) such financial
information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee. 

    18.4 If
Tenant proposes to Transfer its interest in all or any part of the Leased Premises, Landlord may, at its option, upon written notice to Tenant within
30 days after Landlord's receipt of the information specified in Article 18.3 above, elect to recapture the Leased Premises that is the subject of the
Transfer, and within 60 days after notice of such election has been given to Tenant, this Lease shall terminate as to the Leased Premises so recaptured. If the Leased Premises is recaptured by
Landlord pursuant to this Article 18.4, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord a termination agreement setting forth the termination date with respect to the Leased Premises or
the recaptured portion thereof, and prorating the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable hereunder to such date. If Landlord does not elect to recapture as set forth above, Tenant may
thereafter enter into a valid assignment or sublease with respect to the Leased Premises, provided that Landlord consents thereto pursuant to this Article 18.4, and provided further, that
(a) such assignment or sublease is executed within 90 days after Landlord has given its consent, (b) Tenant pays all amounts then owed to Landlord under this Lease,
(c) there is not in existence an Event of Default as of the effective date of the Transfer, (d) there have been no material changes with respect to the financial condition of the
proposed subtenant or assignee or the business such party intends to conduct in the Leased Premises, and (e) a fully executed original of such assignment or sublease providing for an express
assumption by the assignee or subtenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease is promptly delivered to Landlord. In the event that Landlord does not elect to recapture as
provided herein, Tenant shall remit to Landlord 50% of Tenant's profit derived from such Transfer. For purposes of the foregoing, profit shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the amount of
all rent payable by such assignee, transferee or sublessee in excess of the Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease. If a part of the consideration for such Transfer shall be
payable other than in cash, the payment to Landlord shall be in cash for its share of any noncash consideration based upon the fair market value thereof. 

    18.5  Adjustment to Rental.  Intentionally deleted. 

19

 

    18.6  No Release from Liability.  Landlord may collect Basic Rent and Additional Rent from the assignee,
subtenant, occupant or other transferee, and apply the amount so collected, first to the monthly installments of Basic Rent, then to any Additional Rent and other sums due and payable to Landlord, and
the balance, if any, to Landlord, but no such subletting, occupancy, transfer or collection shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord's rights under this Article, or the acceptance of the proposed
assignee, subtenant, occupant or transferee. Notwithstanding any Transfer (with or without the consent of Landlord), Tenant shall remain primarily liable under this Lease and shall not be released
from performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. 

    18.7  Landlord's Expenses.  If Landlord consents to the Transfer by Tenant of all or any portion of
Tenant's interest under this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord's reasonable administrative expenses and for legal, accounting and other out of pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with such Transfer by Tenant. 

    18.8  Assumption Agreement.  If Landlord consents to a Transfer by Tenant of all or any portion of
Tenant's interest under this Lease, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, and cause the transferee to execute and deliver to Landlord, an instrument in the form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Landlord in which (a) the transferee adopts this Lease and assumes and agrees to perform, jointly and severally with Tenant, all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder,
(b) Tenant acknowledges that it remains primarily liable for the payment of Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other obligations under this Lease, and (c) the transferee agrees to use and
occupy the Leased Premises solely for the purpose specified in Article 1 and otherwise in strict accordance with this Lease. 

20

 
 
 

19. USE OF LEASED PREMISES    
  

    19.1  Use.  The Leased Premises are leased to Tenant solely for the Permitted Use set forth in
Article 1 above and for no other purpose whatsoever. Tenant shall not use or occupy or permit the Leased Premises to be used or occupied, nor shall Tenant do or permit anything to be done in or
about the Leased Premises nor bring or keep anything therein which will in any way increase the existing rate of or affect any casualty or other insurance on the Building or the Property, or any of
their respective contents, or make void or voidable or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Building or the Property, or any part thereof or any of their respective contents.
Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or
occupants of the Building or the Property. Tenant shall not use or allow the Leased Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause, maintain
or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property. In addition, Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Leased Premises,
the Building and/or the Property. Tenant shall not use the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the Property, or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises, the Building and/or the
Property which will in any way conflict with any matters of record, or any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated, and
shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all matters of record and all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations and requirements now in force or which may
hereafter be in force and with the requirements of any Board of Fire Underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted, foreseen or unforeseen, ordinary as well as extraordinary,
relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Property, excluding structural changes not relating to or affected by Tenant's improvements or acts. The judgment of any court of
competent jurisdiction or the admission by Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any matters of record, or any law, statute,
ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact between Landlord and Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Leased
Premises which exceeds the load per square foot which the floor was designed to carry, nor shall Tenant install business machines or other mechanical equipment in the Leased Premises which cause noise
or vibration that may be transmitted to the structure of the Building. 

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall be allowed to operate (a) kitchen and eating facilities solely for the use of Tenant's employees and its business invitees, and so
long as such facilities do not cause fire hazards or obnoxious odors or in any way unreasonably disturb other tenants of the Building, and so long as the construction and use of the same otherwise
comply with all provisions of this Lease (b) computer and telecommunications facilities as ancillary to its other operations on the Leased Premises, (c) data processing and transmission,
including roof top satellite communications pursuant to Article 7.7, accounting facilities, conference and meeting facilities and copying facilities, all as ancillary to its other operations on
the Leased Premises. In addition, Tenant may have vending machines on the Leased Premises, provided that such vending machines shall be for the sole use and enjoyment of Tenant and its employees and
business invitees. 

    19.2  Rubbish Removal.  Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises clean, both inside and outside. Tenant
shall keep all accumulated rubbish in covered containers. In the event Tenant falls to keep the Leased Premises in the proper condition, Landlord may cause the same to be done for Tenant and Tenant
shall pay the reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord on demand, together with interest at the Interest Rate, as Additional Rent. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all present
and future laws, orders and regulations of all state, county, federal, municipal governments, departments, commissions and boards regarding the collection, sorting, separation, and recycling of waste
products, garbage, refuse and trash. Landlord reserves the right to refuse to collect or accept 

21

 

from Tenant any waste products, garbage, refuse or trash that is not separated and sorted as required by law, and to require Tenant to arrange for such collection at Tenant's sole cost and expense
using a contractor reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses, fees, penalties or damages that may be imposed on Landlord or Tenant by reason of Tenant's failure to
comply with the provisions of this Article. 

 
 

20. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT    
  

    20.1  Subordination.  This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder shall be, at the option of Landlord,
subordinate to (a) all matters of record, (b) all ground leases, overriding leases and underlying leases (collectively referred to as the "Leases") of the Building or the Property now or
hereafter existing, (c) all mortgages and deeds of trust (collectively referred to as the "mortgages") which may now or hereafter encumber or affect the Building or the Property, and
(d) all renewals, modifications, amendments, replacements and extensions of leases and mortgages and to spreaders and consolidations of the mortgages, whether or not leases or mortgages shall
also cover other lands, buildings or leases. The provisions of this Article shall be self-operative and no further instruments of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such
subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Landlord, the lessor under any lease or the holder of any mortgage or. any of their respective assigns or
successors in interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination. Any lease to which this Lease is subject and subordinate is called a "Superior Lease"
and the lessor under a Superior Lease or its assigns or successors in interest is called a "Superior Lessor". Any mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate is called a "Superior
Mortgage" and the holder of a Superior Mortgage is called a "Superior Mortgagee". If Landlord, a Superior Lessor or a Superior Mortgagee requires that such instruments be executed by Tenant, Tenant's
failure to do so within 10 days after request therefor shall be deemed an Event of Default under this Lease. Tenant waives any right to terminate this Lease because of any foreclosure
proceedings. 

    20.2  Attornment.  If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee (or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale)
succeeds to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action, or the delivery of a new lease or deed (a "Successor Landlord"), Tenant shall at-tom
to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant's landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence
such attornment; provided, however, that Tenant shall receive from Successor Landlord a commercially reasonable agreement stating that Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Leased Premises and
that the Successor Landlord shall perform all of Landlord's obligations and shall honor this Lease as long as Tenant is not in default hereunder. 

 
 

21. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE    
  

    Tenant shall within 20 days after written request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying:
(a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and
effect); (b) the dates to which Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any; (c) that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part
of Landlord hereunder or specifying such defaults if any are claimed; (d) that Tenant has paid Landlord the Security Deposit (if any); (e) the Commencement Date and the scheduled
expiration date of the Lease Term; (f) the rights (if any) of Tenant to extend or renew this Lease or to expand the Leased Premises; (g) the amount of Basic Rent, Additional Rent and
other charges currently payable under this Lease; and (h) any other matters as requested by Landlord. Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective or existing purchaser, ground
lessee or mortgagee of all or any portion of the Property, as well as by any other assignee of Landlord's interest in this Lease. Tenant's failure to 

22

 

deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord;
(ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance hereunder; (iii) that Tenant has paid to Landlord the Security Deposit; (iv) that not more than one month's
installment of Basic Rent or Additional Rent has been paid in advance; (v) that the Commencement Date and the scheduled expiration date of the Lease Term are as stated therein; (vi) that
Tenant has no rights to extend or renew this Lease or to expand the Leased Premises; (vii) that the Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges are as set forth therein and (viii) that
the other information and facts set forth therein are true and correct. Landlord may also elect to treat Tenant's failure to timely provide the Estoppel Certificate as an Event of Default. 

 
 

22. SIGNS    
  

    Landlord shall control the exterior appearance of the Building and the exterior appearance of the Leased Premises as viewed from the Building Common Areas.
Tenant shall not install, or permit to be installed, any drapes, shutters, signs, lettering, advertising, or any items that will in any way alter the exterior appearance of the Building or the
exterior appearance of the Leased Premises as viewed from the Building Common Areas or the exterior of the Building without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in
Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. In no event may Tenant utilize trucks, automobiles or other vehicles on the Properly for signage purposes. Landlord shall install, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, letters or numerals using graphics standard for the Building to identify the Leased Premises at or near the entryway to the Leased Premises. 

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall be allowed to install, at Tenant's expense and using contractors acceptable to Landlord (or Landlord's contractor, if required by
Landlord), Tenant's standard signage in one location on the exterior of the Building. The exact location of such signage shall be determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, and shall
be installed and maintained in accordance with all applicable taws, rules and regulations, and Landlord's sign criteria. 

 
 

23. PARKING    
  

    23.1  Parking Areas.  Landlord shall provide, operate and maintain parking accommodations (the "Parking
Areas"), together with necessary access, having a capacity adequate in Landlord's opinion to accommodate the requirements of the Building and the Property. No storage of vehicles or parking for more
than twenty-four (24) hours is allowed without Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damage, loss or theft of
property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Parking Areas from any cause whatsoever, excluding Landlord's gross negligence or intentional misconduct. Landlord shall have the right to
establish, and from time to time change, alter and amend, and to enforce against all users of the Parking Areas, such reasonable requirements and restrictions as Landlord deems necessary and advisable
for the proper operation and maintenance of the Parking Areas, including, without limitation, designation of particular areas for reserved, visitor and/or employee parking, and establishment of a
reasonable rental charge for the use of the Parking Areas by tenants of the Building and/or the general public, as a part of the Rules and Regulations of the Building. Landlord may in its sole and
absolute discretion alter, reduce, improve, increase, or otherwise modify the Parking Area; provided, however, that any such changes shall not decrease the number of parking spaces (including covered
spaces) designated for use by Tenant in Article I above. 

    23.2  Parking by Tenant.  Tenant is hereby allocated the number of reserved covered and unreserved
parking spaces designated in Article 1 hereof, entitling holders to park in either reserved covered or unreserved parking spaces, as the case may be, located in the Parking Area as designated
by Landlord
from time to time for use by Tenant, its employees and licensees, and for which Tenant shall pay the monthly charges set forth in Article 1 hereof. Tenant shall pay the Parking Charges, as 

23

 

described in Article 1 above, on a monthly basis for the use of such spaces. The unreserved parking spaces shall be available to Tenant, its employees and licensees on a "first come, first
serve" basis. Landlord reserves the right to increase the parking charges set forth in Article 1 in such reasonable mounts as Landlord deems necessary based upon increased costs of operating
and maintaining the Parking Area. All users of the Parking Area shall not be entitled to park in visitor parking spaces so designated by Landlord, or in any other parking spaces other than those
designated by Landlord for use by holders of parking passes. 

    23.3  Parking Violations.  Landlord may from time to time designate a particular area in the Parking Area
to be used by Tenant and Tenant's employees, servants, invitees, agents, and contractors (for purposes of this Article 23 only, collectively, "Tenant's employees"). If Landlord does so
designate, Tenant and Tenant's employees shall park their vehicles only in that particular parking area in the Parking Area and in no other areas of the Property whatsoever. 

 
 

24. LIENS    
  

    Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises free and clear of all mechanic's and materialmen's liens. If, because of any act or omission (or alleged act or omission)
of Tenant, any mechanics, materialmen's or other lien, charge or order for the payment of money shall be filed or recorded against the Leased Premises, the Property or the Building, or against any
other property of Landlord (whether or not such lien, charge or order is valid or enforceable as such), Tenant shall, at its own expense, cause the same to be canceled or discharged of record within
15 days after Tenant shall have received written notice of the filing thereof, or Tenant may, within such 15 day period, furnish to Landlord, a bond pursuant to A.R.S. §
33-1004 (or any successor stature) satisfactory to Landlord and all Superior Lessors and Superior Mortgagees against the lien, charge or order, in which case Tenant shall have the right to
contest, in good faith, the validity or amount thereof. Landlord may require Tenant to post notices of nonresponsibility or similar notices on the Leased Premises and portions of the Building to
provide notice that Tenant is solely responsible for the payment of fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with work on the Leased Premises. 

 
 

25. HOLDING OVER    
  

    It is agreed that the date of termination of this Lease and the right of Landlord to recover immediate possession of the Leased Premises thereupon is an
important and material matter affecting the parties hereto and the rights of third parties, all of which have been specifically considered by Landlord and Tenant. In the event of any continued
occupancy or holding over of the Leased Premises without the express written consent of Landlord beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or of Tenants right to occupy the Leased
Premises, whether in whole or in part, or by leaving property on the Leased Premises or otherwise, this Lease shall be deemed a monthly tenancy and Tenant shall pay 150% of the greater of
(a) Basic Rent then in effect, or (b) the then prevailing monthly rental rate within the Building, in advance at the beginning of the hold-over month(s), plus any Additional
Rent or other charges or payments contemplated in this Lease, and any other costs, expenses, damages, liabilities and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord on account of Tenant's holding over. 

 
 

26. ATTORNEYS' FEES    
  

    In the event any action or proceeding brought by either party hereto against the other based upon or arising out of the terms and conditions hereof, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, from the other. In addition, Tenant agrees to pay all costs and reasonable attorney's fees
which may be incurred or paid by Landlord in enforcing this Lease, with or without litigation, to the full extent allowable by law, and all such amounts shall be deemed additional rent payable upon
demand. 

24

 
 
 

27. RESERVED RIGHTS OF LANDLORD    
  

    Landlord reserves the following rights, exercisable without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, persons or business and without effecting an
eviction, constructive or actual, or disturbance of Tenant's use or possession or giving rise to any claim: 

    (a) To
name the Building and the Property and to change the name or street address of the Building or the Property; 

    (b) To
exercise control over all signs on the exterior and interior of the Building and the Property, and to designate all sources furnishing such signs; 

    (c) During
the last 90 days of the Lease Term, if Tenant has vacated the Leased Premises, to decorate, remodel, repair, alter or otherwise prepare the Leased
Premises for re-occupancy, without affecting Tenant's obligation to pay Basic Rent; 

    (d) To
have pass keys to the Leased Premises and all doors therein, excluding Tenant's vaults and safes; 

    (e) To
require Tenant to remove any unusual or extraordinary alterations to the Leased Premises (such as safes) at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease
Term; 

    (f)  On
reasonable prior notice to Tenant, to exhibit the Leased Premises to any prospective purchaser, mortgagee, or assignee of any mortgage on the Building or the
Property and to others having interest therein at any time during the Lease Term, and to prospective Tenants during the last 6 months of the Lease Term; 

    (g) To
take any and all measures, including entering the Leased Premises for the purposes of malting inspections, repairs, alterations, additions and improvements to
the Leased Premises or to the Building (including, for the purposes of checking, calibrating, adjusting and balancing controls and other parts of the Building systems) as may be necessary or desirable
for the operation, improvement, safety, protection or preservation of the Leased Premises or the Building, or in order to comply with all laws, orders and requirements of governmental or other
authorities, or as may otherwise be permitted or required by this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord shall endeavor (except in an emergency) to minimize interference with Tenant's business in the
Leased Premises; 

    (h) To
relocate various facilities within the Building and on the Property if Landlord shall determine such relocation to be in the best interest of the development of
the Building and the Property, provided, that such relocation shall not materially restrict access to the Leased Premises; 

    (i)  To
change the nature, extent, arrangement, use and location of the Building Common Areas; 

    (j)  To
make alterations or additions to and to build additional stories on the Building and to build additional buildings or improvements on the Property; 

    (k) To
install vending machines of all kinds in the Leased Premises and the Building, and to receive all of the revenue derived therefrom, provided, however, that no
vending machines shall be installed by Landlord in the Leased Premises unless Tenant so requests; and 

    (l)  To
reduce, increase, enclose or otherwise change at any time and from time to time the size, number, location, lay-out and nature or the common areas
(including the Parking Areas) and other tenancies and premises in the Property and to create additional rentable areas through use or enclosure of Building Common Areas, and to close any or all
portions of the Building Common Areas to such extent as may, in the opinion of Landlord's counsel, be legally sufficient to prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual or any rights to any person or
to the public therein and to close 

25

 

temporarily, if necessary, any part of the Building Common Areas in order to discourage non-customer parking. 

    Landlord
further reserves the exclusive right to the roof of the Building. No easement for light, air, or view is included in the leasing of the Leased Premises to Tenant.
Accordingly, any diminution or shutting off of light, air or view by any structure which may be erected on the Property or other properties in the vicinity of the Building shall in no way affect this
Lease or impose any liability upon Landlord. 

 
 

28. EMINENT DOMAIN    
  

    28.1  Taking.  If the whole of the Building is lawfully and permanently taken by condemnation or any
other manner for any public or quasi-public purpose, or by deed in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of vesting of title in such condemning authority and the Basic Rent and
Additional Rent shall be pro rated to such date. If any part of the Building or Property is so taken, or if the whole of the Building is taken, but not permanently, then this Lease shall be unaffected
thereby, except that (a) Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant within 90 days after the date of vesting of title in the condemning authority, and (b) if 20% or
more of the Leased Premises shall be permanently taken and the remaining portion of the Leased Premises shall not be reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue operation of its business, Tenant may
terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord within 90 days after the date of vesting of title in such condemning authority. This Lease shall terminate on the 30th day after receipt by Landlord
of such notice, by which date Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord. The Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be pro rated to the earlier of the termination of this Lease
or such date as Tenant is required to vacate the Leased Premises by reason of the taking. If this Lease is not terminated as a result of a partial taking of the Leased Premises, the Basic Rent and
Additional Rent shall be equitably adjusted according to the rentable area of the Leased Premises and Building remaining. 

    28.2  Award.  In the event of a taking of all or any part of the Building or the Property, all of the
proceeds or the award, judgment, settlement or damages payable by the condemning authority shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns all of its right,
title and interest in and to any such award, judgment, settlement or damages to Landlord. Tenant shall, however, have the right, to the extent that the same shall not reduce or prejudice amounts
available to Landlord, to claim from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be recoverable by Tenant in its own right for relocation benefits, moving expenses, and
damage to Tenant's personal property and trade fixtures. 

 
 

29. NOTICES    
  

    Any notice or communication given under the terms of this Lease shall be in writing and shall be delivered in person, sent by express or overnight courier or
delivery service or deposited with the United States Postal Service, certified or registered mail, return receipt requited, postage pre-paid, addressed as set forth in the Basic
Provisions, or at such other address as a party may from time to time designate by notice hereunder. Notice shall be effective upon delivery. The inability to deliver a notice because of a changed
address of which no notice was given or a rejection or other refusal to accept any notice shall be deemed to be the receipt of the notice as of the date of such inability to deliver or rejection or
refusal to accept. Any notice to be given by Landlord may be given by the legal counsel and/or the authorized agent of Landlord. Notice to Landlord hereunder shall also be sent to:

30. RULES AND REGULATIONS    
  

    Tenant shall abide by all rules and regulations (the "Rules and Regulations") of the Building and the Property imposed by Landlord, as attached hereto as  Exhibit "H" or as may hereafter be issued by Landlord. Such Rules and Regulations are imposed to enhance the cleanliness, appearance, maintenance, order
and use of the Leased Premises, the Building and the Property, and the proper enjoyment of the Building and the Property by all tenants and their clients, customers and employees. The Rules and
Regulations may be changed from time to time upon 10 days notice to Tenant. Breach of the Rules and Regulations by Tenant shall constitute an Event of Default if such breach is not fully cured
within 10 days after written notice to Tenant by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for nonperformance by any other tenant, occupant or invitee of the Building or the
Property of any Rules or Regulations. 

 
 

31. ACCORD AND SATISFACTION    
  

    No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent (jointly called "Rent" in this
Article 31) shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent due and not yet paid, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any
check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or to pursue any
other remedy in this Lease. No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease, after the service of any notice relating to the termination of this Lease, after the
commencement of any suit, or after final judgment for possession of the Leased Premises, shall reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or affect any such notice, demand, suit or judgment. 

 
 

32. BANKRUPTCY OF TENANT    
  

    32.1  Chapter 7.  If a petition is filed by, or an order for relief is entered against Tenant
under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and the trustee of Tenant elects to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning it, the election or assignment, or both, may be made only if all of the terms
and 

27

 

conditions of Articles 32.2 and 32.4 below are satisfied. If the trustee fails to elect to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning it within 60 days after appointment, this Lease will be
deemed to have been rejected. To be effective, an election to assume this Lease must be in writing and addressed to Landlord and, in Landlord's business judgment, all of the conditions hereinafter
stated, which Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable, must have been satisfied. Landlord shall then immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without further
obligation to Tenant or the trustee, and this Lease will be terminated. Landlord's right to be compensated for damages in the bankruptcy proceeding, however, shall survive. 

    32.2  Chapters 11 and 13.  If Tenant files a petition for reorganization under Chapters 11 or 13
of the Bankruptcy Code or a proceeding that is filed by or against Tenant under any other chapter of the Bankruptcy Code is converted to a Chapter 11 or 13 proceeding and Tenant's trustee or Tenant as
a debtor-in-possession fails to assume this Lease within 60 days from the date of the filing of the petition or the conversion, the trustee or the
debtor-in-possession will be deemed to have rejected this Lease. To be effective, an election to assume this Lease must be in writing and addressed to Landlord and, in
Landlord's business judgment, all of the following conditions, which Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable, must have been satisfied: 

    (a) The
trustee or the debtor-in-possession has cured or has provided to Landlord adequate assurance, as defined in this Article 32.2,
that: 

	(1)
	The
trustee will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease within 10 days from the date of the assumption; and

	(2)
	The
trustee will cure all non-monetary defaults under this Lease within 30 days from the date of the assumption. 

    (b) The
trustee or the debtor-in-possession has compensated Landlord, or has provided to Landlord adequate assurance, as defined in this
Article 32.2, that within 10 days from the date of the assumption Landlord will be compensated for any pecuniary loss it incurred arising from the default of Tenant, the trustee, or the
debtor-in-possession as recited in Landlord's written statement of pecuniary loss sent to the trustee or the debtor-in-possession. For purposes of this
Lease, pecuniary loss shall include all attorneys' fees and court costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against Tenant. 

    (c) The
trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided landlord with adequate assurance of the future performance of each of Tenant's
obligations under the Lease; provided, however, that: 

	(1)
	The
trustee or debtor-in-possession will also deposit with Landlord as security for the timely payment of Basic Rent and Additional Rent, an amount equal to
3 months' Basic Rent and Additional Rent accruing under this Lease.

	(2)
	If
not otherwise required by the terms of this Lease, the trustee or the debtor-in-possession will also pay in advance, on each day that the Basic Rent is
payable, 1/12th of Tenant's estimated annual obligations under the Lease for the Additional Rent.

	(3)
	From
and alter the date of the assumption of this Lease, the trustee or the debtor-in-possession will pay the Basic Rent and Additional Rent as provided
herein.

	(4)
	The
obligations imposed upon the trustee or the debtor-in-possession will continue for Tenant after the completion of bankruptcy proceedings. 

    (d) Landlord
has determined that the assumption of the Lease will not: 

	(1)
	Breach
any provisions in any other lease, mortgage, financing agreement, or other agreement by which Landlord is bound relating to the Property; or 

28

 

	(2)
	Disrupt,
in Landlord's judgement, the tenant mix of the Building or any other attempt by Landlord to provide a specific variety of Tenants in the Building that, in Landlord's
judgment, would be most
beneficial to all of the tenants of the Building; and would enhance the image, reputation, and profitability of the Building. 

    (e) For
purposes of this Article 32.2 "adequate assurance" means that: (i) Landlord will determine that the trustee or the
debtor-in-possession has, and will continue to have, sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord
that the trustee or the debtor-in-possession will have sufficient fluids to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease and to keep the Leased Premises properly staffed with
sufficient employees to conduct a fully operational, actively promoted business on the Leased Premises; and (ii) an order will have been entered segregating sufficient cash payable to Landlord
and/or a valid and perfected first lien and security interest will have been granted in property of Tenant, trustee, or debtor-in-possession that is acceptable for value and
kind to Landlord, to secure to Landlord the obligation of the trustee or debtor-in-possession to cure the monetary or non-monetary defaults under this Lease within
the time periods set forth above. 

    32.3  Landlord's Right to Terminate.  In the event that this Lease is assumed by a trustee appointed for
Tenant or by Tenant as debtor-in-possession under the provisions of Article 32.2 above and, thereafter, Tenant is either adjudicated a bankrupt or files a subsequent
petition for arrangement under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord may terminate, at its option, this Lease and all Tenant's rights under it, by giving written notice of Landlord's
election to terminate. 

    32.4  Assignment by Trustee.  If the trustee or the debtor-in-possession has
assumed the Lease, under the terms of Article 32.1 or 32.2 above, and elects to assign Tenant's interest under this Lease or the estate created by that interest to any other person, that
interest or estate may be assigned only if Landlord acknowledges in writing that the intended assignee has provided adequate assurance, as defined in this Article 32.4, of future performance of
all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. 

    32.5  Adequate Assurance.  For the purposes of this Article 32 "adequate assurance of future
performance" means that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied: 

    (1) The
assignee has submitted a current financial statement, audited by a certified public accountant, that shows a net worth and working capital in mounts determined
by Landlord to be sufficient to assure the future performance by the assignee of Tenant's obligations under this Lease; 

    (2) If
requested by Landlord, the assignee will obtain guarantees, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord from one or more persons who satisfy Landlord's
standards of creditworthiness; 

    (3) Landlord
has obtained all consents or waivers from any third party required under any Lease, mortgage, financing arrangement or other agreement by which Landlord is
bound, to enable Landlord to permit the assignment; 

    (4) When,
pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the trustee or the debtor-in-possession is obligated to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for
the use of all or part of the Leased Premises, the charges will not be less than the Basic Rent and Additional Rent. 

    32.6  Consent of Landlord.  Neither Tenant's interest in the Lease nor any estate of Tenant created will
pass to any trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or any other person or entity, or otherwise by operation of law under the laws of any state having jurisdiction of the person or
property of Tenant unless Landlord consents in writing to the transfer. Landlord's acceptance of Basic 

29

 

Rent or Additional Rent or any other payments from any trustee, receiver, assignee, person, or other entry will not be deemed to have waived, or waive, the need to obtain Landlord's consent or
Landlord's right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant's interest under this Lease without that consent.

previously violated Environmental Laws or such report discloses a violation thereof. 

    33.8  Indemnity.  Tenant shall protect, indemnity, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against,
and shall be responsible for, any and all claims, costs, expenses, suits, judgments, actions, investigations, proceedings and liabilities arising out of or in connection with any breach of any
provisions of this Article 33 or directly or indirectly arising out of the use, generation, storage, release, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any sublessee or
assignee of Tenant, or their respective agents, contractors, employees, licensees, or invitees, on, under or about the Leased Premises, the Building or the Property during the Lease Term or Tenant's
occupancy of the Leased Premises, including, but not limited to, all foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages and the cost of any Remedial Work. Neither the consent by Landlord to the use,
generation, storage, release, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials nor the strict compliance with all Hazardous Material Laws shall excuse Tenant from Tenant's indemnification obligations
pursuant to this Article 33. The foregoing indemnity shall be in addition to and not a limitation of the indemnification provisions of Article 15 of this Lease. Tenant's obligations
pursuant to this Article 33 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease. 

    33.9  Transfer.  If Landlord's consent is required for an assignment of this Lease or a subletting of the
Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right to refuse such consent if the possibility of a release of Hazardous Materials is materially increased as a result of the assignment or sublease or if

    33.11  Event of Default.  The release or discharge of any Hazardous Material or the violation of any
Hazardous Materials Law shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. In addition to and not in lieu of the remedies available under this Lease as a result of such Event of Default,
Landlord shall have the right, without terminating this Lease, to require Tenant to suspend its operations and activities on the Leased Premises until Landlord is satisfied that appropriate Remedial
Work has been or is being adequately performed and Landlord's election of this remedy shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right thereafter to pursue the other remedies set forth in this Lease. 

    33.12  Landlord Representations.  Landlord represents and warrants that to it's actual knowledge as of
the date hereof the Property is, and (unless Tenant is given written notice thereof to the contrary) upon completion of Landlord's work pursuant to Schedule 1 will be, free of Hazardous

    In the event that Tenant at any time or from time to time receives a written notice from Landlord specifying the name and address of the beneficiary
(Landlord's Mortgagee") under any deed of trust, mortgage or other security agreement covering the Property, the Building and/or Landlord's interest in this Lease, Tenant agrees that, in the event of
a default hereunder by Landlord which would give Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or declare a total or partial eviction (constructive or 

32

 

otherwise), Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease or so declare an eviction by Landlord until (i) Tenant shall have given written notice of such default (which notice shall specify the
exact nature of such default and how the same may be cured) to Landlord and Landlord's Mortgagee by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and (ii) thirty (30) days
shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice. If, during such thirty (30) day period, Landlord or Landlord's Mortgagee shall cure or substantially undertake to cure such default,

performance of any one or more of the obligations of this Lease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the performance of

omission. 

    36.9  Severability.  If any clause or provision of this Lease is or becomes illegal or unenforceable

    36.12  No Merger.  The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual cancellation of

subleases or subtenancies.

stoppage. 

34

governmental controls, rules, regulations or restrictions on the use or consumption of energy or other utilities during the Lease Term, both Landlord and Tenant shall be bound thereby. In the event of

    36.15  Shoring.  If any excavation or construction is made adjacent to, upon or within the Building, or

Tenant.

covenants or agreements on the part of the Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners of Landlord's interest in this Lease at the time in question. Upon any

performance of any covenants or agreements on the part of the Landlord contained in this Lease.
