ARTICLE II.  PREMISES

SECTION 2.1. LEASED PREMISES.  Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant rents from Landlord the premises shown in Exhibit A (the “Premises”) containing the floor area set forth in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions and known by the suite number identified in Item 2 of the Basic Lease Provisions. The Premises are located in the Building identified in Item 2 of the Basic Lease Provisions (which together with the underlying real property is called the “Building”). The rentable square footage of the Premises as described above is conclusive as between the parties.

SECTION 2.2. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges that  neither Landlord nor any representative of  Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or the Building or the suitability or fitness of either for any purpose. The taking of possession or use of the Premises by Tenant for any purpose shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were in good condition and in conformity with the provisions of this Lease in all respects. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.2, Tenant accepts the Premises in its existing “as is” condition and waives any right or claim against Landlord arising out of the condition of 

2

the Premises. Landlord shall otherwise deliver the Building systems, including the roof, HVAC, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, in good working condition, except to the extent any deficiency is caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or its agents, contractors, employees or invitees.

ARTICLE III. TERM

SECTION 3.1. GENERAL. The term of this Lease (“Term”) shall be for the period shown in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions. The Term shall commence on the Commencement Date (the “Commencement Date”) as set forth in Item 4 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Within ten (10) days after the Commencement Date, Landlord may deliver to Tenant, and if delivered, the parties shall memorialize on a form provided by Landlord the actual Commencement Date and the expiration date (“Expiration Date”) of this Lease. Tenant's failure to execute that form shall not affect the validity of Landlord's determination of those dates.

SECTION 3.2.  DELAY IN POSSESSION.  If Landlord, for any reason  whatsoever, cannot deliver possession  of the  Premises to Tenant on or before the Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any resulting loss or damage. Dynatrace LLC (“Dynatrace”) is the tenant for the Premises with Landlord as the landlord under that certain Office Lease dated as of November 21, 2013 (the “Master Lease”). Tenant is currently in possession of the Premises as Subtenant under that certain Sublease dated August 8, 2017, with Dynatrace, as sublandlord, with a term ending on November 30, 2020. If Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises terminates under the Sublease for any reason (other than Tenant’s, as subtenant, default under such sublease), prior to expiration of such sublease, Landlord agrees to recognize Tenant, and Tenant agrees to attorn to Landlord, upon the then executory terms and conditions of said sublease for the remainder of the term of said sublease until the Commencement Date of this Lease; provided, however, that in such event, Landlord will not be (i) liable for any rent paid by Tenant to its sublandlord, or any security deposit paid by Tenant to its sublandlord, unless same has been transferred to Landlord by the sublandlord; (ii) liable for any act or omission of sublandlord or for any default of sublandlord which occurred prior to the effective date of the attornment; (iii) subject to any defenses or offsets that Tenant may have against its sublandlord which arose prior to the effective date of the attornment; (iv) bound by any changes or modifications made to the sublease without the written consent of Landlord; (v) obligated in any manner with respect to the transfer, delivery, use or condition of any furniture, equipment or other personal property in the Premises which sublandlord agreed would be transferred to Tenant or which sublandlord agreed could be used by the Tenant during the term of the sublease; or (vi) liable for the payment of any improvement allowance, or any other payment, credit, offset or amount due from sublandlord to Tenant under the sublease.

SECTION 3.3.    OPTION TO EXTEND.

(a)    Landlord hereby grants Tenant one (1) option ("Option to Extend") to extend the initial Term for the entire Premises for a period of five (5) years (the "Option Term"), which Option shall be exercisable only by written notice ("Exercise Notice") delivered by Tenant to Landlord not more than twelve (12) months nor less than eight (8) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term. The rights contained in this Section 3.3 shall be personal to the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee Assignee (as defined below) and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or Permitted Transferee Assignee (and not any assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in this Lease except a Permitted Transferee Assignee) if the Original Tenant or Permitted Transferee Assignee occupies no less than 75% of the Premises as of the date of Tenant's Exercise Notice (as defined below). Tenant's failure to deliver the Exercise Notice on or before the date specified above shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's election not to exercise the Option to Extend. The Basic Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term ("Option Rent") shall be equal to 100% of the "Market Rent" (defined below). "Market Rent" shall mean the applicable monthly Basic Rent and all escalations at which tenants, as of the commencement of the Option Term, are entering into leases for non-sublease space which is not encumbered by expansion rights and which is comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises in transactions, for a term comparable to the Option Term, which comparable space is located in the Comparable Buildings, taking into consideration the value of the existing improvements in the Premises to Tenant, as compared to the value of the existing improvements in such comparable space, with such value to be based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same could be utilized by Tenant with consideration given to the fact that the improvements existing in the Premises are specifically suitable to Tenant. The Option to Extend may be exercised by Tenant only if: (x) Tenant shall  not have been in default beyond applicable cure periods under this Lease during the Term and Tenant is occupying at least 75% of the entire Premises; (y) Tenant shall have not assigned this Lease, except to a Permitted Transferee Assignee; or (z) the Lease has not been terminated prior to the Expiration Date of the initial Term. The term "Comparable Buildings" shall mean the Building and other office buildings located in San Mateo, California, which buildings are Class “A” buildings with a similar quality of construction, and are of similar size, and offer similar services and amenities.

(b)    In the event Tenant timely and appropriately delivers the Exercise Notice to Landlord, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord's determination of the Option Rent on or before the sixtieth (60th) day following Landlord’s receipt of the Exercise Notice. If Tenant, on or before the date which is thirty (30) days following the date upon which Tenant receives Landlord's determination of the Option Rent, 

3

in good faith objects to Landlord's determination of the Option Rent, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Option Rent using their good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on or before the date that occurs one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Expiration Date (the "Outside Agreement Date"), then each party shall make a separate determination of the Option Rent, within ten (10) days, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 3.3(c) below. If Tenant fails to object to Landlord's determination of the Option Rent within the time period set forth herein, then Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord's determination of Option Rent.

(c)    Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall be a licensed commercial real estate broker who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the leasing or appraisal, as the case may be, of Class A office buildings in San Mateo, California. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Option Rent is the closest to the actual Option Rent, as determined by the arbitrators. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date. Landlord and Tenant may consult with their selected arbitrators prior to appointment and may select an arbitrator who is favorable to their respective positions. The arbitrators so selected by Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed "Advocate Arbitrators." The two (2) Advocate Arbitrators so appointed shall be specifically required pursuant to an engagement letter within ten (10) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed Advocate Arbitrator to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator ("Neutral Arbitrator") who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the two Advocate Arbitrators, except that neither the Landlord or Tenant or either parties' Advocate Arbitrator may, directly or indirectly, consult with the Neutral Arbitrator prior or subsequent to his or her appearance. The Neutral Arbitrator shall be retained via an engagement letter jointly prepared by Landlord's counsel and Tenant’s counsel. The three arbitrators shall, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the Neutral Arbitrator, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Option Rent, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, but in no event shall the Option Rent be less than the Basic Rent that Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease for the month immediately preceding the Option Term. The decision of the majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an Advocate Arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, then either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of San Mateo County to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator subject to the criteria of this Lease, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such Advocate Arbitrator. If the two (2) Advocate Arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, then either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of San Mateo County to appoint the Neutral Arbitrator, subject to criteria of this Lease, or if he or she refuses to act, either party may petition any judge having jurisdiction over the parties to appoint such arbitrator. Each party shall pay the cost of its Advocate Arbitrator and the non-prevailing party in the arbitration shall pay the cost of the Neutral Arbitrator. In the event that the Option Rent shall not have been determined pursuant to the terms hereof prior to the commencement of the applicable Option Term, Tenant shall be required to pay the Option Rent initially provided by Landlord to Tenant in connection with such Option Term, and upon the final determination of the Option Rent, the payments made by Tenant shall be reconciled with the actual amounts of Option Rent due, and the appropriate party shall make any corresponding payment to the other party. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an amendment to this Lease within ten (10) days after presentation by Landlord, reflecting changes in the Basic Rent, the Term, the Expiration Date, and other appropriate terms for the Option Term; provided, however, an otherwise valid exercise of the Option to Extend shall be fully effective whether or not the amendment is executed.

ARTICLE IV. RENT AND OPERATING EXPENSES

SECTION 4.1. BASIC RENT. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord without deduction or offset the Basic Rent for the Premises in the total amount shown (including subsequent adjustments, if any) in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Any rental adjustment shown in Item 6 shall be deemed to occur on the specified monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date whether or not that date occurs at the end of a calendar month. The rent shall be due and payable in advance commencing on the Commencement Date (as prorated for any partial month) and continuing thereafter on the first day of each successive calendar month of the Term. No demand notice or invoice shall be required. The installment of rent specified in Item 16 of the Basic Lease Provisions shall be delivered to Landlord on or before November 1, 2020 and shall be applied against the Basic Rent first due hereunder.

Provided that no event of default has occurred, then during the first four (4) months of the initial Term (the "Basic Rent Abatement Period"), Basic Rent otherwise attributable to the Premises in the total aggregate amount of $773,296.00 during such Basic Rent Abatement Period shall be abated (the "Basic Rent Abatement"). Tenant shall be obligated to pay all additional rent during the Basic Rent Abatement Period. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing Basic Rent Abatement has been granted to Tenant as additional consideration for entering into this Lease, and for agreeing to pay the Basic Rent and perform the terms and conditions otherwise required under this Lease. If Tenant shall be in default under this Lease and shall fail to cure such default within the notice and cure period, if any, permitted for cure pursuant to this Lease, or if this Lease, is terminated early for any reason other than Landlord's breach of this Lease or other mutually agreed to terms, then the dollar amount of the unapplied portion of the Basic Rent Abatement as of the date of such default or termination, as the case may be, shall be converted to a credit to be applied to the Basic Rent applicable at the end of the Term and Tenant shall immediately be obligated to begin paying Basic Rent for the Premises in full. The foregoing Basic Rent Abatement right set forth herein shall 

4

be personal to the Tenant originally named herein (the "Original Tenant") and shall only apply to the extent that the Original Tenant (and not any assignee, or any sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in this Lease) is the Tenant under this Lease during such Basic Rent Abatement Period.

SECTION 4.2.    OPERATING EXPENSE INCREASE.

(a)Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as additional rent for Tenant's Percentage of Operating Expenses, for each year in excess of the Operating Expense Base Year, incurred by Landlord in the operation of the Building.

(b)Commencing prior to the start of the first full Expense Recovery Period of the Lease (as set forth in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions), and no less than 10 days prior to the start of each full or partial Expense Recovery Period thereafter, Landlord shall give Tenant a written reasonable estimate of the amount of Tenant's Percentage of Operating Expenses for the Expense Recovery Period or portion thereof. Tenant shall pay the estimated amount to Landlord in equal monthly installments in advance with Basic Rent. If Landlord has not furnished its written estimate for any Expense Recovery Period by the time set forth above, Tenant shall continue to pay cost reimbursements at the rates established for the prior Expense Recovery Period, if any; provided that when the new estimate is delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall, at the next monthly payment date, pay any accrued cost reimbursements based upon the new estimate. Operating Expenses for the Base Year shall not include market-wide cost increases (including utility rate increases) due to extraordinary circumstances, including, but not limited to, Force Majeure, boycotts, strikes, conservation surcharges, embargoes or shortages, or amortized costs or incentives to any tenants in the Building.

(c)Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Expense Recovery Period, Landlord shall endeavor to furnish to Tenant a statement showing in reasonable detail the actual or prorated Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord during the period and the parties shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, make any payment or allowance necessary to adjust Tenant's estimated payments, if any, to an amount corresponding to Tenant's actual Percentage of Operating Expenses as shown by the annual statement. Any amount due Tenant shall be credited against installments next coming due under this Section 4.2, and any deficiency shall be paid by Tenant together with the next installment. If Tenant has not made estimated payments during the Expense Recovery Period, any amount owing by Tenant pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be paid to Landlord in accordance with Article XVI. Should Tenant fail to object in writing to Landlord's determination of actual Operating Expenses within thirty (30) days following delivery of Landlord's expense statement, Landlord's determination of actual Operating Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery Period shall be conclusive and binding on the parties within thirty days following delivery of Landlord’s expense statement.

(d)Even though the Lease has terminated and the Tenant has vacated the Premises when the final determination is made of Tenant's Percentage of Operating Expenses for the Expense Recovery Period in which the Lease terminates, Tenant shall, upon notice, pay the entire increase due over the estimated expenses paid. Conversely, any overpayment made in the event expenses decrease shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant within a reasonable time period consistent with the terms herein.

(e)If, at any time during any Expense Recovery Period, any one or more of the Operating Expenses are increased to a rate(s) or amount(s) in excess of the rate(s) or amount(s) used in calculating the estimated expenses for the year, then Tenant's estimated Percentage of Operating Expenses shall be increased for the month in which the increase becomes effective and for all succeeding months by an amount equal to Tenant's Percentage of the increase.

SECTION 4.3. TENANT’S AUDIT RIGHT. Provided that Tenant delivers written notice of its intent to audit within sixty (60) days after receipt by Tenant of a statement from Landlord and Tenant completes such audit within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date Landlord makes Landlord’s books and records available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right following the Base Year, but not more than once per calendar year, to conduct an audit of Landlord’s books and records relating to Operating Expenses in accordance with the following terms and provisions: (i) No default then exists; (ii) Tenant shall have the right to have an employee of Tenant or a Qualified Auditor (as defined below) inspect Landlord’s accounting records at Landlord’s office; (iii) neither the employee of Tenant nor the Qualified Auditor shall be employed or engaged on a contingency basis, in whole or in part; (iv) prior to commencing the audit, Tenant and the auditor shall: (A) if the auditor is not an employee of Tenant, provide Landlord with evidence that the auditor is from a nationally recognized accounting firm and that the individual performing the audit is a certified public accountant (a “Qualified Auditor”); (B) each sign a confidentiality letter to be provided by Landlord; and (C) provide Landlord with evidence of the fee arrangement between the auditor and Tenant; (v) the audit shall be limited solely to confirming that the Operating Expenses reported in the Landlord’s statement are consistent with the terms of this Lease. If Tenant’s auditor finds errors or overcharges in Landlord’s statement that Tenant wishes to pursue, then within the time period set forth above, Tenant shall advise Landlord thereof in writing with specific reference to claimed errors and overcharges and where applicable, the relevant Lease provisions disqualifying such expenses, and Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with Tenant’s auditor (and any third auditor selected hereinbelow, if applicable) to explain its calculation of Operating Expenses. If Landlord agrees with said findings, appropriate rebates or charges shall be made to Tenant. If Landlord does not agree, Landlord shall engage its own auditor to review the findings of Tenant’s auditor and Landlord’s books and records. The two (2) auditors and the parties shall then meet to resolve any difference between the audits. If agreement cannot be reached within two (2) weeks thereafter, then the auditors shall together select a third auditor (who shall be a Qualified Auditor not affiliated with and who does not perform services for either party or their affiliates) to which they shall each promptly submit their findings in a final report, with copies submitted simultaneously to the first two (2) auditors, Tenant and Landlord. Within two (2) weeks after receipt of such findings, the third auditor shall determine which of the two reports best meets the terms of this Lease, which report shall become the “Final Finding”. The third auditor shall not have the option of selecting a compromise between the first two auditors’ findings, nor to make any other finding. If the Final Finding determines that Landlord has overcharged Tenant, Landlord shall credit Tenant toward the payment of additional rent next due and payable under this Lease the amount of such overcharge, or if the Term has expired, Landlord shall pay such amount to Tenant within 30 days. If the Final Finding determines that Landlord has overstated the Operating Expenses by more than five (5%) percent, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all of Tenant’s reasonable costs relating to the Audit not to exceed $5,000. If the Final Finding determines that Tenant was undercharged, then within thirty (30) days after the Final Finding, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the amount of such undercharge. Tenant’s failure to provide written notice of its intent to audit within sixty (60) days after receipt by Tenant of a statement or failure to complete such audit within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date Landlord makes Landlord’s books and records available to Tenant shall be deemed to be Tenant’s waiver of the audit rights set forth herein.

SECTION 4.4.    SECURITY DEPOSIT. On November 1, 2020, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord
the sum stated in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions to be held by Landlord as security for the full and faithful performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (the “Security Deposit”). Upon any default by Tenant, including specifically but not limited to Tenant's failure to pay rent or to abide by its obligations under Sections 7.1 and 15.3 below, Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit as full or partial compensation for that default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after written demand by Landlord, deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall not be required to keep this Security Deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. If Tenant fully performs its obligations under this Lease, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or at Landlord's option to the last assignee of Tenant's interest in this Lease) after the expiration of the Term, provided that Landlord may retain the Security Deposit, or portion thereof, until such time as all amounts due from Tenant in accordance with this Lease have been 

6

determined and paid in full and Tenant has vacated the Premises in accordance herewith, and any balance shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days thereafter. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes any and all rights, benefits, or protections, if any, Tenant now has, or in the future may have, under Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, any successor statute, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect, including, but not limited to, any provision of law which (i) establishes the time frame by which a landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, or (ii) provides that a landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by a tenant, or to clean the subject premises.

ARTICLE VI. LANDLORD SERVICES

SECTION 6.1. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Except to the extent that such utilities are separately metered or submetered, Landlord shall furnish to the Premises the utilities and services described in Exhibit B subject to the conditions and payment obligations and standards set forth in this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to furnish any services or utilities when the failure is the result of any accident or other cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control, nor shall Landlord be liable for damage to Tenant's equipment resulting from power surges.

times during the Term, have exclusive control of the Common Facilities and may restrain any use or occupancy, except as authorized by Landlord's rules and regulations.

SECTION 6.4.     CHANGES AND ADDITIONS BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves the right to make alterations or additions to the Building or to the attendant fixtures, equipment and Common Facilities and tenant spaces.

(b)    Except as provided in Sections 11.1 and 12.1 below, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements to any portion of the Building, including repairs to the Premises, nor shall any related activity by Landlord constitute an actual or constructive eviction; provided, however, that in making repairs, alterations or improvements, Landlord shall interfere as little as reasonably practicable with the conduct of Tenant's business in the Premises.

SECTION 7.3.   ALTERATIONS.  Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld for non-structural alterations; provided however, Tenant shall be permitted to make such alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord (but upon prior written notice to Landlord) that (i) are decorative or cosmetic in nature (consisting of painting, wall coverings and floor coverings, including carpeting), (ii) do not require Tenant to obtain a building permit in connection therewith; (iii) do not affect the structure of the Building or any operating systems of the Building; (iv) do not violate or render invalid the certificate of occupancy for the Building or the Premises; and (v) the total costs thereof do not exceed $25,000 in the aggregate during any 12 month period. If any such improvement requires approval by or notice to the lessor of a superior lease or the holder of a mortgage, no work shall proceed until such approval has been received or such notice has been given. Landlord may impose, as a condition to its consent, any requirements that Landlord, in its discretion, 

9

may deem reasonable or desirable, including but not limited to a requirement that all work be covered by a lien and completion bond satisfactory to Landlord and requirements as to the manner, time and contractor for performance of the work. Landlord may require that Tenant enter into an agreement with Landlord for the work to be performed by Landlord's contractor, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord, the cost of construction as incurred by Landlord. Should Landlord authorize Tenant to perform the work with a contractor approved by Landlord, Tenant shall obtain all required permits for the work and shall perform the work in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and ordinances. In any event, Landlord shall be entitled to a supervision fee in the amount of five percent (5%) of the total cost of the work. Under no circumstances shall Tenant make any improvement, which incorporates asbestos-containing construction materials into the Premises. Tenant shall perform all alterations and improvements in a diligent, good and workmanlike manner using materials of a quality reasonably approved by Landlord. Any request for Landlord's consent shall be made in writing and shall contain architectural plans describing the work in detail reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Unless Landlord otherwise agrees in writing, all alterations, additions or improvements affixed to the Premises (excluding moveable trade fixtures and furniture) shall become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Premises at the end of the Term, except that Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, require Tenant to remove by the Expiration Date or sooner termination date of this Lease all or any alterations, decorations, fixtures, additions, improvements and the like installed either by or for Tenant or by Landlord at Tenant's request, and to repair any damage to the Premises arising from that removal. Within thirty (30) days after completion of Tenant’s alterations, additions or improvements requiring the submission of plans to Landlord, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a complete set of “as-built” plans and specifications. Tenant agrees that all of such alterations, additions or improvements shall be insured by Tenant pursuant to Article X of this Lease immediately upon completion thereof.

SECTION 7.4. MECHANIC'S LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or for Tenant.

In the event that Tenant shall not, within ten (10) days following the imposition of any lien, cause the lien to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other available remedies, the right to cause the lien to be released by any means it deems proper, including payment of or defense against the claim giving rise to the lien. All expenses so incurred by Landlord, including Landlord's attorneys' fees, shall be reimbursed by Tenant promptly following Landlord's demand, together with interest from the date of payment by Landlord at the lesser of 10% or maximum rate permitted by law until paid.

SECTION 7.5. ENTRY AND INSPECTION. Landlord shall at all normal business hours (or except as otherwise agreed by Tenant or at any time during an emergency), upon 24 hours written notice to Tenant, except in an emergency, have the right to enter the Premises to inspect them, to supply services in accordance with this Lease, to protect the interests of Landlord in the Premises, to post notices of non-responsibility, to alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building or the Building's systems and equipment, and to submit the Premises to prospective or actual purchasers or encumbrance holders or to prospective tenants (but as to prospective tenants only within twelve (12) months of the Expiration Date or if Tenant is in default), all without being deemed to have caused an eviction of Tenant and without abatement of rent. Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key which unlocks all of the doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults and safes, and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord shall not, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises or any eviction of Tenant from the Premises.

ARTICLE VIII. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS ON TENANT'S PREMISES

Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay all taxes and assessments levied against all personal property of Tenant located in the Premises. If any taxes on Tenant's personal property are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property, and if Landlord pays the same or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by the inclusion of a value placed upon the personal property of Tenant, and if Landlord pays the taxes based upon the increased assessment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord or the proportion of the taxes resulting from the increase in the assessment. In calculating what portion of any tax bill, which is assessed against Landlord separately, or Landlord and Tenant jointly is attributable to Tenant's fixtures and personal property, Landlord's reasonable determination shall be conclusive.

ARTICLE IX. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING 

SECTION 9.1.    RIGHTS OF PARTIES.

(a)Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary (except subsection (g) below), Tenant will neither voluntarily nor by operation of law assign, sublet, encumber or otherwise transfer all or any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease or permit the Premises 

10

to be occupied by anyone other than Tenant without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1(c). No assignment (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law) and no subletting or other transfer shall be valid or effective without Landlord's prior written consent and at Landlord's election shall constitute a material default of this Lease. Landlord shall not be deemed to have given its consent to any assignment, subletting or other transfer by any other course of action, including its acceptance of any name for listing in the Building directory.

(b)If Tenant or Tenant’s guarantor (“Guarantor”) is a corporation or is an unincorporated association, partnership or limited liability company, the transfer of any stock or interest in the corporation, association, partnership or limited liability company, which results in a change in the control of Tenant or Guarantor, if any, shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning and provisions of this Article.

(c)If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet or otherwise transfer an interest in this Lease, it shall first notify Landlord of its desire and shall submit in writing to Landlord: (i) the name and address of the proposed transferee; (ii) the nature of any proposed subtenant's or assignee's proposed use; (iii) the terms and provisions of any proposed sublease or assignment; (iv) any other information reasonably requested by Landlord and reasonably related to the transfer; and (v) the proposed effective date of the transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery by Tenant of the information and documents required herein (“Transfer Notice”). Except as provided in Section 9.1(d), Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or sublease; provided, however, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed assignment, sublease or other transfer where one or more of the following conditions is present: (1) the use of the Premises will be inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease; (2) the insurance requirements imposed on such assignee or subtenant are not brought into conformity with this Lease; (3) the proposed subtenant or assignee (itself, or by its principals, shareholders, members or guarantors) does not reasonably demonstrate that it is financially responsible by submission to Landlord of all reasonable information as Landlord may reasonably request concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee, including but not limited to, financial statements of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (4) [intentionally omitted]; (5) the proposed transferee is a governmental entity or agency; (6) the proposed transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed transferee, (i) is a tenant or other occupant of space in the Building, or (ii) is negotiating with Landlord to lease space in the Building at such time, or (iii) has negotiated with Landlord during the 6-month period immediately preceding the notice of the transfer, and Landlord does not have comparable space available in the Building (although the foregoing (6) shall not be reasonable grounds for withholding consent to the extent Landlord cannot meet such proposed transferee’s space needs with available, reasonably comparable space in the Building that has a similar build-out to, and that is no less than 85% and no more than 115% of the rsf of the Premises proposed in the Transfer Notice); or (7) the proposed transfer will impose additional burdens or adverse tax effects on Landlord. If Landlord consents to the proposed transfer, Tenant may, within ninety (90) days after the date of the consent, effect the transfer upon the terms described in the information furnished to Landlord; provided that any material change in the terms shall be subject to Landlord's consent as set forth in this Section.

(d)Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (c) above, solely in the event that Tenant wishes to sublease or assign greater than 60% of the floor area of the Premises for more than 60% of the remainder of the Lease Term, in lieu of consenting to such a proposed sublease or assignment, Landlord may, within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s request and Tenant’s delivery of the information required above, elect to terminate this Lease in its entirety or as to the portion of the Premises subject to the transfer, effective on the date that the proposed sublease or assignment would have become effective. Landlord may, thereafter, at its option, assign or re-let any space so recaptured to any third party, including without limitation the proposed transferee of Tenant.

(e)If Tenant assigns, sublease or otherwise transfers the Lease or Premises, or any portion thereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to 50% of any Transfer Premium (defined below). As used herein, “Transfer Premium” means (a) in the case of an assignment, any consideration (including payment for leasehold improvements) paid by the assignee for such assignment, and (b) in the case of a sublease, license or other occupancy agreement, for each month of the term of such agreement, the amount by which all rent and other consideration paid by the transferee to Tenant pursuant to such agreement exceeds the monthly Basic Rent payable by Tenant hereunder with respect to the portion of the Premises subject to the transfer (on a per square foot basis), after deducting Tenant’s actual and reasonable brokerage commissions and legal fees incurred in connection with such sublease or assignment. Payment of Landlord’s share of the Transfer Premium shall be made (x) in the case of an assignment, within 10 days after Tenant receives the consideration described above, and (y) in the case of a sublease, license or other occupancy agreement, for each month of the term of such agreement, within five (5) business days after Tenant receives the rent and other consideration described above.

(f)Tenant shall pay to Landlord a transfer fee of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), and reimburse Landlord’s reasonable professional fees (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any request to transfer regardless of whether such transfer is approved or consummated, with Tenant’s share of such expense not to exceed $1,500 per request.

11

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, (A) an assignment or subletting of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant as of the date of this Lease), (B) a sale of corporate shares of Tenant, (C) an assignment of the Lease to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant, or (D) an assignment of the Lease to an entity which is the resulting entity of a merger or consolidation of Tenant, shall not be deemed an assignment or subletting requiring Landlord's consent under this Article IX (any such assignee or sublessee described in items (A) through (D) of this Section 9.1(g) is hereinafter referred to as a "Permitted Transferee"), provided that (i) Tenant notifies Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date (or within ten (10) after the effective date if prior notice is prohibited by law) of any such assignment or sublease and promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such assignment, sublease or Permitted Transferee as set forth above, (ii) Tenant is not in default, beyond the applicable notice and cure period, and such assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease, (iii) such Permitted Transferee shall be of a character and reputation consistent with the quality of the Building, (iv) such Permitted Transferee shall have an unrestricted cash balance of at least $20,000,000 computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on the date of the transfer (v) no assignment or sublease relating to this Lease, whether with or without Landlord's consent, shall relieve Tenant from any liability under this Lease, and (vi) the liability of such Permitted Transferee under either an assignment or sublease shall be joint and several with Tenant. "Control," as used in Sections 9.1(b) and 9.1(g), shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity.

SECTION 9.2. EFFECT OF TRANSFER. No subletting or assignment or other transfer, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay rent and to perform all its other obligations under this Lease. Each assignee, other than Landlord, shall be deemed to assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be liable, jointly and severally, with Tenant for the payment of all rent and for the due performance of all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. No transfer shall be binding on Landlord unless any document memorializing the transfer is delivered to Landlord and the assignee, subtenant, transferee and Tenant deliver to Landlord an executed consent to transfer instrument prepared by Landlord and consistent with the requirements of this Article. The acceptance by Landlord of any payment due under this Lease from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any transfer. Consent by Landlord to one or more transfers shall not operate as a waiver or estoppel to the future enforcement by Landlord of its rights under this Lease.

SECTION 9.3.       SUBLEASE REQUIREMENTS. The following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises and shall be included in each sublease:

(a)    Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord all of Tenant's interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of the Premises and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenant's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a default beyond applicable cure periods occurs in the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to receive and collect the sublease rentals. Landlord shall not, by reason of this assignment or the collection of sublease rentals, be deemed liable to the subtenant for the performance of any of Tenant's obligations under the sublease. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating that an uncured default beyond applicable cure periods exists in the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, to pay to Landlord all sums then and thereafter due under the sublease. Tenant agrees that the subtenant may rely on that notice without any duty of further inquiry and notwithstanding any notice or claim by Tenant to the contrary. Tenant shall have no right or claim against the subtenant or Landlord for any rentals so paid to Landlord.

(b)    In the event of the termination of this Lease, Landlord may, at its sole option, take over Tenant's entire interest in any sublease and, upon notice from Landlord; the subtenant shall attorn to Landlord. In no event, however, shall Landlord be liable for any previous act or omission by Tenant under the sublease or for the return of any advance rental payments or deposits under the sublease that have not been actually delivered to Landlord, nor shall Landlord be bound by any sublease modification executed without Landlord's consent or for any advance rental payment by the subtenant in excess of one month’s rent. The general provisions of this Lease, including without limitation those pertaining to insurance and indemnification, shall be deemed incorporated by reference into the sublease despite the termination of this Lease.

(c)    Tenant agrees that Landlord may, at its sole option, authorize a subtenant of the Premises to cure a default beyond applicable cure periods by Tenant under this Lease. Should Landlord accept such cure, the subtenant shall have a right of reimbursement and offset from and against Tenant under the applicable sublease.

ARTICLE X. INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

SECTION 10.1. TENANT'S INSURANCE. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide and maintain in effect at all  times the insurance described in Exhibit C. Evidence of that insurance must be delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date.

SECTION 10.2.    LANDLORD'S INSURANCE.

(a)Liability Insurance. Landlord shall obtain and keep in force a Commercial General Liability policy of insurance against claims for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon or arising out of its ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Building and all areas appurtenant thereto.

(b)Building and Improvements. Landlord shall obtain and keep in force a policy or policies of insurance in the name of Landlord, with loss payable to Landlord, any ground-landlord, and to any lender, insuring the replacement cost of the Building, as the same shall exist from time to time, or the amount required by any lender, but in no event more than the commercially reasonable and available insurable value thereof. If the coverage is available and commercially appropriate, such policy or policies shall insure against all risks of direct physical loss or damage (including, without limitation, the perils of flood and/or earthquake).

(c)Rental Value. Landlord may also obtain and keep in force a policy or policies in the name of Landlord with loss payable to Landlord and any Lender, insuring the loss of the full Rent for one year with an extended period of indemnity for any additional 180 days.

All proceeds of insurance maintained by Landlord upon the Building shall be the property of Landlord, whether or not Landlord is obligated to or elects to make any repairs. The cost of all policies of insurance maintained by Landlord pursuant hereto shall be included in Operating Expenses.

SECTION 10.3. TENANT'S INDEMNITY. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and except to the extent of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its agents, officers, directors, partners, managers, members, ground lessors, lenders and any and all of their respective affiliates, including without limitation any corporations or other entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with Landlord, and successors and assigns (collectively, “Landlord Parties”), from and against any and all damages, claims, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising either before or after the Commencement Date from Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, the Building or the Common Facilities, or from the conduct of its business or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or its agents, employees, invitees or licensees in or about the Premises, the Building or the Common Facilities, or from any default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under this Lease, or from any act or negligence of Tenant or its agents, employees, visitors, patrons, guests, invitees or licensees. Landlord may, at its option, require Tenant to assume Landlord's defense in any action covered by this Section through legal counsel satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

SECTION 10.4. LANDLORD'S NONLIABILITY. Except in the event of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct , neither Landlord nor any Landlord Parties shall be liable to Tenant, its employees, agents and invitees, and Tenant hereby assumes the risk of and waives all claims against Landlord and the Landlord Parties for loss of or damage to any property or any injury to any person or loss or interruption of business or income resulting from, but not limited, to fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, electrical works, heating and ventilation systems, mechanical equipment , lighting or other fixtures in the Building whether the damage or injury results from conditions arising in the Premises or in other portions of the Building. It is understood that any such condition may require the temporary evacuation or closure of all or a portion of the Building. Neither Landlord nor any Landlord Parties shall be liable for interference with light or other similar intangible interests. The liability of Landlord to Tenant for any default by Landlord under this Lease or arising in connection herewith or with Landlord’s operation, management, leasing, repair, renovation, alteration or any other mater relating to the Property or the Premises shall be limited to the unencumbered interest of Landlord in the Building and Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s unencumbered interest in the Building for the recovery of judgment against Landlord, and Landlord shall not be personally liable for any such judgment or deficiency after execution thereon. Under no circumstances shall Landlord ever be liable for consequential or punitive damages, including damages for lost profits or for business interruption.

ARTICLE XI. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION 

SECTION 11.1.    RESTORATION.

(a)If the Building of which the Premises are a part is damaged, Landlord shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible at its expense unless: (i) the damage is not covered by Landlord's fire and extended coverage insurance; or (ii) Landlord reasonably 

13

determines that the cost of repair would exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost of the Building (the “Replacement Cost”); (iii) the damage occurs during the final twelve (12) months of the Term; (iv) the holder of any mortgage on the Building or ground lessor with respect to the Building shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt, or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be; or (v) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, repairs cannot reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of discovery of the damage (when such repairs are made without the payment of overtime or other premiums). Should Landlord elect not to repair the damage for one of the preceding reasons, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing within sixty (60) days after the damage occurs, and this Lease shall terminate as of the date said notice.

(b)Unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease in accordance with subsection (a) above, this Lease shall continue in effect for the remainder of the Term; provided that if the damage is so extensive as to reasonably prevent Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises for more than twelve (12) months, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within ten (10) days following Landlord’s notice in subsection (a). In the event this Lease is terminated in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant's insurance required under Article X of this Lease applicable to any improvements, alterations or additions.

(c)Commencing on the date of any damage to the Building and ending on the sooner of the date the damage is repaired or the date this Lease is terminated, the rental to be paid under this Lease shall be abated in the same proportion that the floor area of the Premises that is rendered unusable by the damage from time to time bears to the total floor area of the Premises.

(d)Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) (b) and (c) of this Section, the cost of any repairs shall be borne by Tenant and Tenant shall not be entitled to rental abatement or termination rights if the damage is due to solely the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, subtenants, invitees or representatives. In addition, the provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to require Landlord to repair any improvements, alterations, additions or fixtures that Tenant is obligated to repair or insure pursuant to any other provision of this Lease.

SECTION 11.2. LEASE GOVERNS. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Lease, including without limitation Section 11.1, shall govern any damage or destruction and shall accordingly supersede any contrary statute or rule of law. Tenant irrevocably waives and releases Tenant’s rights under California Civil Code Sections 1932(2), 1933(4) and 1942 as the same may be modified or replaced hereafter.

ARTICLE XII. EMINENT DOMAIN

SECTION 12.1. TOTAL OR PARTIAL TAKING. If all or a material portion of the Premises is taken by any lawful authority by exercise of the right of eminent domain or sold to prevent a taking, either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to the authority. In the event title to a portion of the Building, other than the Premises, is taken or sold in lieu of taking, and if Landlord elects to restore the Building in such a way as to alter the Premises materially, either party may terminate this Lease by written notice to the other party effective on the date of vesting of title. In the event neither party has elected to terminate this Lease as provided above, then Landlord shall promptly, after receipt of a sufficient condemnation award, proceed to restore the Premises to substantially their condition prior to the taking and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant for the rent corresponding to the time during which and to the part of the Premises of which Tenant is deprived on account of the taking and restoration. In the event of a taking, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the condemnation award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant; provided that nothing in this Section shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or prevent Tenant from seeking any award against the taking authority for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant or for relocation or business interruption expenses recoverable from the taking authority. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

SECTION 12.2. TEMPORARY TAKING. No temporary taking of the Premises shall terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to abatement of rent, and any award specifically attributable to a temporary taking of the Premises shall belong entirely to Tenant. A temporary taking shall be deemed to be a taking of the use or occupancy of the Premises for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days.
ARTICLE XIII. SUBORDINATION; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE 

SECTION 13.1.    SUBORDINATION

(a)At the option of Landlord this Lease shall be either superior or subordinate to all ground or underlying leases, mortgages, deeds of trust or other encumbrance, if any, which may now or hereafter affect the Building, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. In the event of a termination or foreclosure, Tenant shall become a tenant of and attorn to the successor-in-interest to Landlord upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease and shall execute any instrument reasonably 

14

required by Landlord's successor for that purpose. Tenant shall also, upon written request of Landlord, execute and deliver all instruments as may be required from time to time to subordinate the rights of Tenant under this Lease to any ground or underlying lease or to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance or, if requested by Landlord, to subordinate in whole or in part any ground or underlying lease or the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance to this Lease. Tenant shall, concurrently with its execution of this Lease, execute a SNDA materially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, and Landlord shall request such SNDA to be executed by the current lender. Landlord's failure to obtain any SNDA for Tenant shall have no effect on the rights, obligations and liabilities of Landlord and Tenant or be considered to be a default by Landlord hereunder.

(b)Failure of Tenant to execute any statements or instruments necessary or desirable to effectuate the provisions of this Article within ten (10) business days after written request by Landlord, in any form that Landlord may reasonably require, shall constitute a material default under this Lease. If Tenant fails to execute such documents within such 10 business day period, Landlord may execute such documents on behalf of Tenant as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact. Tenant does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact and in Tenant’s name, place and stead, to execute such documents in accordance with this Section 13. In that event, Landlord, in addition to any other rights or remedies it might have, shall have the right by written notice to Tenant to terminate this Lease as of a date not less than twenty (20) days after the date of Landlord's notice. Landlord's election to terminate shall not relieve Tenant of any liability for its default.

SECTION 13.2.    ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

(a)Tenant shall, at any time upon not less than ten (10) business days prior written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, in any form that Landlord may reasonably require, a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if modified stating the nature of the modification and certifying that this Lease as modified is in full force and effect), and the dates to which the rental, additional rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any; and (ii) acknowledging that to Tenant's knowledge there are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord or specifying each default, if any, are claimed; and (iii) setting forth all further information that Landlord may reasonably require.

(b)Tenant's failure to deliver any estoppel statement within the provided time shall constitute a default under this Lease and shall be conclusive upon Tenant that (i) this Lease is in full force and effect without modification, except as may be represented by Landlord; (ii) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance; and (iii) not more than one (1) month's rental has been paid in advance.

ARTICLE XIV. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 14.1.  TENANT'S DEFAULTS. In addition to any other event of default set forth in this Lease, the occurrence of   any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default by Tenant:

(a)The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent required to be made by Tenant, within three (3) business days of the date when due. For purposes of these default and remedy provisions, the term additional rent shall be deemed to include all amounts of any type whatsoever other than Basic Rent to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

(b)Assignment, sublease, encumbrance or other transfer of the Lease by Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Landlord (except pursuant to Section 9.1(g) above).

(c)The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement provided by Tenant or by any affiliate, successor or guarantor of Tenant was materially false; or a default by Tenant under any other agreement of which Landlord and Tenant are parties.

(d)The failure or inability by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in any other subsection of this Section, where the failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1161 and 1161(a), as amended. However, if the nature of the failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences the cure within thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion.

(e)(i) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a Chapter 7 debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or to have debts discharged or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty [60] days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises 

15

or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, if possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease where the seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; or (v) Tenant's convening of a meeting of its creditors for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of its debts. Landlord shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any event described in this subsection unless notification in writing is received by Landlord, nor shall there be any presumption attributable to Landlord of Tenant's insolvency. In the event that any provision of this subsection is contrary to applicable law, the provision shall be of no force or effect.

		
	(f)
	The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.

		
	(g)
	The Tenant’s failure to take possession of the Premises or to occupy same within sixty days after the Commencement

Date.

SECTION 14.2.    LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.

(a)In the event of any default by Tenant or in the event of the abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, then, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord, Landlord may exercise the following remedies:

(i)    Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. Such termination shall not affect any accrued obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Upon termination, Landlord shall have the right to reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property. Landlord shall also be entitled to recover from Tenant:

		
	(1)
	The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent and additional rent, which had been earned at

the time of termination;

(2)    The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and additional rent, which would have been earned after termination until the time of award, exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;

(3)    The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent and additional rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided;

(4)    Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result from Tenant's default, including but not limited to the cost of recovering possession of the Premises, commissions and other expenses of reletting, including necessary repair, renovation, improvement and alteration of the Premises for a new tenant, the unamortized portion of any tenant improvements, allowances and brokerage commissions funded by Landlord in connection with this Lease, the value of any free rent, abatements or other rental and monetary concessions made or extended for or on behalf of Tenant ( including, without limitation, moving allowances and lease termination payments), reasonable attorneys' fees and any other reasonable costs; and

(5)    At Landlord's election all other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by law. The term rent, as used in this Lease, shall be deemed to mean the Basic Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease. As used in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above, the worth at the time of award shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. As used in subparagraph (3) above, the worth at the time of award shall be computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

(ii)    Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Landlord may elect not to terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises in which event Landlord may continue to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to collect all rent as it becomes due. Efforts by the Landlord to maintain, preserve or relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver to protect the Landlord's interests under this Lease, shall not constitute a termination of the Tenant's right to possession of the Premises. In the event that Landlord elects to avail itself of the remedy provided by this subsection (ii), Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting of the Premises subject to the reasonable standards for Landlord's consent as are contained in this Lease.

16

(b)The various rights and remedies reserved to Landlord in this Lease or otherwise shall be cumulative and, except as otherwise provided by California law, Landlord may pursue any or all of its rights and remedies at the same time. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, appointment of a receiver to protect Landlord's interests hereunder, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, or to accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.

(c)No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right or remedy shall be construed as a waiver of the right or remedy or of any default by Tenant, except as provided herein. The acceptance by Landlord of rent shall not be a (i) waiver of any preceding breach or default by Tenant of any provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent accepted regardless of Landlord's knowledge of the preceding breach or default at the time of acceptance of rent; or (ii) a waiver of Landlord's right to exercise any remedy available to Landlord by virtue of the breach or default. The acceptance of any payment from a debtor-in-possession, a trustee, a receiver or any other person acting on behalf of Tenant or Tenant's estate, shall not waive or cure a default under Section 14.1. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent required by this Lease shall be deemed to be other than a partial payment on account of the earliest due stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord shall accept the check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of the rent or pursue any other remedy available to it. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord's agents shall have any power to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease and the delivery of the keys to any employee shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the Premises.

SECTION 14.3.  LATE PAYMENTS.  Any rent due under this Lease that is not paid to Landlord within five (5) days of the   date when due shall bear interest at the lesser of 10% or maximum rate permitted by law from the date due until fully paid. The payment of interest shall not cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. In addition, Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Those costs may include, but are not limited to, administrative, processing and accounting charges, and late charges, which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any ground, lease mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord or Landlord's designee when due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the interest provided above, a late charge in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of each delinquent payment. Acceptance of a late charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to the overdue amount nor shall it prevent Landlord from exercising any of its other rights and remedies.

SECTION 14.4.  RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under   this Lease shall be performed at Tenant's sole cost and expense and without any abatement of rent or right of set-off. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money other than rent or fails to perform any other act on its part to be performed under this Lease, and the failure continues beyond any applicable grace period set forth in Section 14.1, then, in addition to any other available remedies, Landlord may, at its election, make the payment or perform the other act on Tenant's part. Landlord's election to make the payment or perform the act on Tenant's part shall not give rise to any responsibility of Landlord to continue making the same or similar payments or performing the same or similar acts. Tenant shall promptly, upon demand by Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all sums paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs together with interest at the lesser of 10% or maximum rate permitted by law from the date of the payment by Landlord. Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies if Tenant fails to pay those amounts as Landlord would have in the event of a default by Tenant in the payment of rent.

SECTION 14.5. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any  obligation under this Lease unless and until it has failed to perform the obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it commences performance within the 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion. The directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, attorneys, and partners of Landlord shall not be personally liable for any claim or judgment against Landlord under any circumstances. If Landlord is in default under this Lease, then Tenant shall seek only a money judgment against Landlord and shall not attempt to seize or attach any asset of Landlord except as otherwise provided herein. If Tenant recovers a money judgment against Landlord, then such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of the sale received on execution of the judgment levied against the unencumbered right, title and interest of the Landlord in the Building. Tenant shall not attempt to satisfy any such judgment from any other asset of Landlord under any circumstances. Tenant acknowledges that this limitation on Landlord's liability has been separately bargained for and that Landlord would not enter into this Lease in the absence of this provision.

17

SECTION 14.6. EXPENSES AND LEGAL FEES. Should either Landlord or Tenant bring any action in connection with this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, as a part of the action, its reasonable attorneys' fees and all other costs.

ARTICLE XV.  END OF TERM

SECTION 15.1. HOLDING OVER. This Lease shall terminate without further notice upon the expiration of the Term, and any holding over by Tenant after the expiration shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease or give Tenant any rights under this Lease, except when in writing signed by both parties.

SECTION 15.2. MERGER ON TERMINATION. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual termination of this Lease shall terminate any or all existing subleases unless Landlord, at its option, elects in writing to treat the surrender or termination as an assignment to it of any or all subleases affecting the Premises.

Tenant shall repair all damage to the Premises resulting from the removal, which repair shall include the patching and filling of holes and repair of structural damage, provided that Landlord may instead elect to repair any structural damage at Tenant's expense. If Tenant shall fail to comply with the provisions of this Section, Landlord may effect the removal and/or make any repairs, and the cost to Landlord shall be additional rent payable by Tenant upon demand.

Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy or potential occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by the lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of the CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection, and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises." In furtherance of the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows: (i) any CASp inspection requested by Tenant shall be conducted, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, by a CASp designated by Landlord; and (ii) Tenant, at its sole cost, is responsible for making any repairs within the Premises to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards; and, if anything done by or for Tenant in its use or occupancy of the Premises shall require repairs to the Building (outside the Premises) and Common Facilities to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards, then Tenant shall, at Landlord's option, either perform such repairs at Tenant's sole cost and expense or reimburse Landlord upon demand, as additional rent, for the cost to Landlord of performing such repairs. Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord any CASp report regarding the Premises obtained by Tenant. Tenant shall keep information contained in any CASp report regarding the Premises and/or Building confidential, except as may be necessary for Tenant or its agents to complete any repairs or correct violations with respect to the Premises. Tenant shall have no right to cancel or terminate the Lease due to violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the Premises or at the Building identified in any CASp report.

SECTION 22.10. RENOVATIONS. It is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant and has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve, renovate, repair or decorate the Premises, Building, or any part thereof and that no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building have been made by Landlord to Tenant.

(i) installing sprinklers in the Building or Common Facilities and tenant spaces, (ii) modifying the Common Facilities and tenant spaces to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including regulations relating to the physically disabled, seismic conditions, and building safety and security, and (iii) installing new floor covering, lighting, and wall coverings in the Building common areas, and in connection with any Renovations, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Building, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Building or Common Facilities, or perform work in the Building, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building. Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations and Landlord's actions in connection with such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent. Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant's personal property or improvements resulting from the Renovations or Landlord's actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlord's actions.

22

SECTION 22.11. RIGHT TO LEASE. Subject to Tenant’s right to quiet enjoyment of the Premises, Landlord reserves the absolute right to effect such other tenancies in the Building. Landlord in the exercise of its sole business judgment shall determine to best promote the interests of the Building. Tenant does not rely on the fact, nor does Landlord represent, that any specific tenant or type or number of tenants shall, during the Term, occupy any space in the Building.

SECTION 22.12. PARKING. Tenant may park in the Building’s parking facilities (the “Parking Facility”), in common with other tenants of the Building, upon the following terms and conditions. Tenant shall not use more than the number of unreserved and/or reserved parking spaces set forth in Item 14 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Tenant shall comply with all rules and regulations established by Landlord from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the Parking Facility, including any sticker or other identification system and the prohibition of vehicle repair and maintenance activities in the Parking Facility. Landlord may, in its discretion, allocate and assign parking passes among Tenant and the other tenants in the Building. Tenant’s use of the Parking Facility shall be at Tenant’s sole risk, and Landlord shall have no liability for any personal injury or damage to or theft of any vehicles or other property occurring in the Parking Facility or otherwise in connection with any use of the Parking Facility by Tenant or its employees or invitees. Landlord may alter the size, configuration, design, layout or any other aspect of the Parking Facility, and, in connection therewith, temporarily deny or restrict access to the Parking Facility, in each case without abatement of Rent or liability to Tenant, but in no event shall Landlord materially reduce the number of spaces allocated to Tenant as a result of such modifications. Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator, in which case (i) such parking operator shall have all the rights of control reserved herein by Landlord, (ii) Tenant shall enter into a parking agreement with such parking operator, and (iii) Landlord shall have no liability for claims arising through acts or omissions of such parking operator except to the extent caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Tenant’s parking rights under this Section 22.12 are solely for the benefit of Tenant’s employees and invitees and such rights may not be transferred without Landlord’s prior consent, except pursuant to a transfer permitted under Article IX. Parking rights are not personal to Tenant and may be inherited by any permitted transferee, subject to the previous sentence.

EXHIBIT B 

UTILITIES & SERVICES

The following standards for utilities and services shall be in effect at the Building. Landlord reserves the right to adopt nondiscriminatory and reasonable modifications and additions to these standards. In the case of any conflict between these standards and the Lease, the Lease shall be controlling. Subject to all of the provisions of the Lease, including but not limited to the restrictions contained in Section 6.1, the following shall apply:

1.Landlord shall furnish to the Premises Monday through Friday, during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., (Saturday, Sunday and generally recognized national holidays are excepted), reasonable air conditioning, heating and ventilation services. Subject to the provisions set forth below, Landlord shall also furnish the Building with reasonable amounts of electric current for normal lighting by Landlord's standard, overhead fluorescent and incandescent fixtures and for fractional horsepower office machines, and water for lavatory and drinking purposes. Tenant will not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, consume electricity in the Premises at a level in excess of 5 watts per square foot or otherwise increase the amount of electricity, gas or water usually furnished or supplied for use of the Premises as general office space; nor shall Tenant connect any apparatus machine or device with water pipes or electric current (except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises) for the purpose of using electric current or water. This paragraph shall, at all times, be subject to applicable governmental regulations.

2.Upon written request from Tenant delivered to Landlord at least 24 hours prior to the period for which service is requested, but during normal business hours, Landlord will provide any of the foregoing building services to Tenant at such times when such services are not otherwise available. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord for those after-hour services at rates that Landlord may establish from time to time. The current charge for after-hours HVAC is $50.00 per hour. In addition, Landlord may impose a reasonable charge  for any excessive use of any utilities or services or for any substantial recurrent use of the Premises at any time other than generally recognized business hours of generally recognized business days. If Tenant requires electric current in excess of that which Landlord is obligated to furnish under this Exhibit B, Tenant shall first obtain the consent of Landlord and Landlord may cause an electric current meter to be installed in the Premises to measure the amount of electric current consumed. The cost of installation, maintenance and repair of the meter shall be paid for by Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly upon demand for all electric current consumed for any special power use as shown by the meter. The reimbursement shall be at the rates charged for electrical power by the local public utility furnishing the current plus any additional expense incurred in keeping account of the electric current consumed.

3.If any lights, machines or equipment (including without limitation electronic data processing machines) are used by Tenant in the Premises which materially affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system or generate substantially more heat in the Premises than would be generated by the building standard lights and usual fractional horsepower office machines, Landlord shall have the right, at its election, to install or modify any machinery and equipment to the extent Landlord reasonably deems necessary to restore temperature balance. The cost of installation and any additional cost of operation and maintenance shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord promptly upon demand.

4.Landlord shall furnish water for personal hygiene and lavatory purposes only. If Tenant requires or uses water for any purposes in addition to ordinary cleaning and lavatory purposes, Landlord may, in its discretion, install a water meter to measure Tenant's water consumption. Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost of the meter and the cost of its installation and for consumption throughout the duration of Tenant's occupancy. Tenant shall keep the meter and installed equipment in good working order and repair at Tenant's own cost and expense, in default of which Landlord may cause the meter to be replaced or repaired at Tenant's expense. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed as shown on the meter and when bills are rendered, and on Tenant's default in making that payment, Landlord may pay the charges on behalf of Tenant. Any costs or expenses or payments made by Landlord for any of the reasons or purposes stated above shall be deemed to be additional rent payable by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.

5.In the event that any utility service to the Premises is separately metered or billed to Tenant, Tenant shall pay all charges for that utility service to the Premises and the cost of furnishing the utility to tenant suites shall be excluded from the Operating Expenses as to which reimbursement from Tenant is required in the Lease. If any utility charges are not paid when due Landlord may pay them, and any amounts paid by Landlord shall immediately become due to Landlord from Tenant as additional rent. If Landlord elects to furnish any utility service to the Premises, Tenant shall purchase its requirements of that utility from Landlord as long as the rates charged by Landlord do not exceed those, which Tenant would be required to pay if the utility service were furnished it directly by a public utility.

Exhibit B - 1

6.Landlord shall provide janitorial services Monday through Friday (Saturday, Sunday and generally recognized national holidays excepted), equivalent to that furnished in comparable office buildings and window washing as reasonably required; provided, however, that Tenant shall pay for any additional or unusual janitorial services required by reason of any nonstandard improvements in the Premises, including without limitation wall coverings and floor coverings installed by or for Tenant or by reason of any use of Premisesother than exclusively as offices.

WORK LETTER

The original Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant improvement allowance (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance") in the amount set forth in Item 17 of the Basic Lease Provisions for the costs relating to the design and construction of Tenant's improvements, which are permanently affixed to Suite 300 of the Premises (the "Tenant Improvements") and constructed pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Lease. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Work Letter in a total amount which exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In the event that the Tenant Improvement Allowance is not fully utilized by the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, then such unused amounts shall revert to Landlord, and Tenant shall have no further rights with respect thereto. Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, require any of the Tenant Improvements to be removed at the end of the Term and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to a good condition. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any cash payment or credit against rent or otherwise for any unused portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance which is not used to pay for the Tenant Improvements; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the one-time right to apply any unused Tenant Improvement Allowance against Basic Rent payable during the first twelve (12) months of the initial Term only so long as (i) Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period, (ii) Tenant has not assigned the Lease, and (iii) Tenant provides Landlord with thirty (30) days prior written notice specifying the exact amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance that Tenant desires to apply against Basic Rent which shall not be contested. Any amount so applied to Basic Rent shall reduce the amount of Tenant Improvement Allowance that Landlord is obligated to disburse hereunder by said amount. In no event shall the Tenant Improvement Allowance be used for furniture, personal property, low voltage cabling, fixtures or equipment or for constructing improvements in the Premises for purposes of offering space for sublease or for the benefit of a subtenant.

Provided that Tenant is not in default under any of the terms and conditions herein or the Lease, and provided that Landlord does not dispute any request for payment based on non-compliance of any work, or due to any substandard work, or for any other reasonable reason, Landlord shall disburse the Tenant Improvement Allowance upon (i) completion of the Tenant Improvements, (ii) Tenant’s opening and operating business in the Premises for the permitted use, and (iii) Landlord’s receipt of (A) invoices and evidence of payment for labor rendered and materials delivered to the Premises in connection with the Tenant Improvements and (B) properly executed mechanic's lien releases from all of Tenant's contractors, subcontractors, agents and representatives, which shall comply with the appropriate provisions, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of California Civil Code Sections 8132, 8134, 8136 or 8138 or any successor statute, and (C) all other information reasonably requested by Landlord, and (iv) the architect delivering to Landlord a certificate, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, certifying that the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises has been completed. Landlord's payment of such amounts shall not be deemed Landlord's approval or acceptance of the work furnished or materials supplied as set forth in Tenant's payment request.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if Tenant defaults under the Lease, Landlord’s obligations under this Work Letter shall be excused until such default is cured and Tenant shall be responsible for any resulting delay in the completion of the Tenant Improvements. This Work Letter shall not apply to any space other than the originally demised Premises.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

THIS    SUBORDINATION,    NON-DISTURBANCE    AND    ATTORNMENT
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the         day of         20 , by  and  among     (“Tenant") and NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, attorney-in-fact for The Bank of New York Mellon, a banking corporation organized under the laws of New York, not in its individual capacity, but solely as trustee under that certain Trust Agreement dated as of July 1, 2015 between New York Life Insurance Company, as grantor, John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), as beneficiary, John Hancock Life Insurance Company of New York, as beneficiary, and the Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (“Lender"), whose principal address      is      51      Madison      Avenue,      New      York,    New     York    10010,     and
      (“Borrower”).

RECITALS:

A.    Lender’s predecessor in interest made a mortgage loan (the “Loan") to Borrower in the amount of $     to be secured by, among other things, a mortgage [or deed of trust] (the "Mortgage") on the real property legally described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto (the "Premises");

B.    Tenant   is   the   present   lessee   under   a lease  dated     with     , ("Landlord"), demising a portion of the Premises (said lease and all amendments now or hereafter executed with respect thereto being referred to as the "Lease");

		
	C.
	The Lease is presently subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage; and

D.    The parties desire to affirm the subordination of the Lease to the Mortgage and to set forth herein the agreement of Tenant and Lender regarding the relationship between the Lease and the Mortgage.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENTS:

1.    Subordination. The Lease, and the rights of Tenant in, to and under the Lease and the portion of the Premises covered by the Lease (the “Demised Premises”) are and continue to be subject and subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and to any modification, reinstatement, extension, renewal, supplement, consolidation or replacement thereof as well as any advances or re-advances with interest thereon and to any other mortgages or deeds of trust on the Premises which may hereafter be held by Lender.

		
	2.
	Tenant Not to Be Disturbed. In the event it should become necessary to foreclose the

Mortgage or Lender should otherwise come into possession of title to the Premises, Lender will not join Tenant in summary or foreclosure proceedings unless required by law in order to obtain jurisdiction, but in such event no judgment foreclosing the Lease will be sought, and Lender will not disturb the use and occupancy of Tenant under the Lease so long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease and has not prepaid the rent except monthly in advance as provided by the terms of the Lease.

3.    Tenant to Attorn to Lender. In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or upon a sale of the property encumbered thereby pursuant to the trustee's power of sale contained therein, or upon a transfer of said property by deed in lieu of foreclosure, then so long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of the Lease, or otherwise at Lender's election, the Lease (subject to Section 4 below) shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the succeeding owner of the said property and Tenant, upon and subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term of the Lease. Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to and accept any such successor owner as landlord under the Lease, and to be bound by and perform all of the obligations imposed by the Lease, and Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to any such successor owner such further assurance and other documents, including a new lease upon the same terms and conditions of the Lease, confirming the foregoing as such successor owner may reasonably request. Tenant waives the provisions
(i) contained in the Lease or any other agreement relating thereto and (ii) of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which, in either case, may give or purport to give it any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect the Lease and the obligations of Tenant thereunder by reason of any foreclosure proceeding.

4.    Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Lender nor such other purchaser shall in any event be:

		
	(a)
	liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord);

		
	(b)
	obligated to cure any defaults of any prior landlord (including Landlord) which occurred prior to the time that Lender or such other purchaser succeeded to the interest of such prior landlord under the Lease;

		
	(c)
	subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may be entitled to assert against any prior landlord (including Landlord);

		
	(d)
	bound by any payment of rent or additional rent by Tenant to any prior landlord (including Landlord) for more than one month in advance;

		
	(e)
	bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without the written consent of Lender or such other purchaser; or

		
	(f)
	liable or responsible for, or with respect to, the retention, application and/or return to Tenant of any security deposit paid to any prior landlord (including Landlord), whether or not still held by such prior landlord, unless and until Lender or such other purchaser has actually received for its own account as landlord the full amount of such security deposit.

5.    Acknowledgment of Assignment of Lease and Rent. Tenant acknowledges that it has notice that the Lease and the rent and all other sums due thereunder have been assigned or are to be

assigned to Lender as security for the Loan secured by the Mortgage. In the event that Lender notifies Tenant of a default under the Mortgage and demands that Tenant pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease to Lender, Tenant agrees that it will honor such demand and pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease directly to Lender or as otherwise required pursuant to such notice. By its execution hereof, Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing.

6.    Limited Liability. Tenant acknowledges that in all events, the liability of Lender and any purchaser shall be limited and restricted to their interest in the Premises and shall in no event exceed such interest.

7.    Lender's Right to Notice of Default and Option to Cure. Tenant will give written notice to Lender of any default by Landlord under the Lease by mailing a copy of the same by certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows (or to such other address as may be specified from time to time by Lender to Tenant):

To Lender:    NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
c/o New York Life Real Estate Investors 51 Madison Avenue
New York, New York 10010-1603
Senior Director – Loan Administration Division Loan No.:      

Upon such notice, Lender shall be permitted and shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cure any such default during the period of time during which the Landlord would be permitted to cure such default, but in any event Lender shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notification to cure such default; provided, however, that in the event Lender is unable to cure the default by the exercise of reasonable diligence within such 30-day period, including on account of the need to take possession of the Premises in order to undertake such cure, Lender shall have such additional period of time as may be reasonably required to remedy such default with reasonable dispatch.

8.    Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement are binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties hereof.

9.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

10.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced according to the law of the state in which the Premises are located, other than such law with respect to conflicts of law.

11.    New Lease. Upon the written request of Lender to Tenant at the time of a foreclosure, trustee’s sale or deed in lieu thereof, the parties agree to execute a lease of the Premises upon the same terms and conditions as the Lease, which lease shall cover any unexpired term of the Lease existing prior to such foreclosure, trustee’s sale or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

12.    Conflict. This Agreement supersedes any inconsistent provisions of the Lease, and may not be amended or modified except by an agreement in writing executed by all parties hereto.

13.    No Modification. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to derogate from or in any way impair or affect the lien and charge or provisions of the Mortgage, except as specifically set forth herein.

14.    Non-Disturbance. Lessee agrees that this Agreement satisfies any condition or requirement in the Lease relating to the granting of a non-disturbance agreement.

15.    Miscellaneous. Time is of the essence with respect to all obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement may be modified only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Any waivers granted hereunder must be in writing. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between Lender and Tenant relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes entirely any and all prior written or oral agreements with respect thereto. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Agreement as to any party or circumstance shall not render that provision unenforceable or invalid as to any other party or circumstance, and all provisions hereof, in all other respects, shall remain valid and enforceable.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed these presents as of the day and year first above written.

Exhibit 10.3

AMERICAN WATER WORKS COMPANY, INC.  
2017 OMNIBUS EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN  
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT 
This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT, dated as of February 11, 2020 (the “Date of Grant”), is delivered by American Water Works Company, Inc. (the “Company”) to _________________ (the “Participant”). 
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Committee (as defined in the American Water Works Company, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”)) has adopted a 2020 Long Term Performance Plan (“2020 LTPP”) pursuant to which designated employees will be granted equity awards (collectively, the “Equity Award”) for shares of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, (the “Company Stock”); 
WHEREAS, the Equity Award is comprised of three separate grants:  a restricted stock unit and two performance stock unit grants; 
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the Participant is eligible to participate in the 2020 LTPP and to grant the Participant an Equity Award under the 2020 LTPP; and 
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the restricted stock unit portion of the Equity Award granted pursuant to the 2020 LTPP to the Participant shall be issued under the Plan and the terms and conditions of such restricted stock unit shall be memorialized in this grant (the “Grant”). 
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
1.Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant _______________ units (the “Restricted Stock Units”). Each unit (a “Unit”) shall be a phantom right and shall be equivalent to one share of Company Stock on the applicable Redemption Date (as defined below). 
2.    Restricted Stock Unit Account. The Company shall establish and maintain a Restricted Stock Unit account as a bookkeeping account on its records (the “Restricted Stock Unit Account”) for the Participant and shall record in such Restricted Stock Unit Account the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to the Participant. The Participant shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this grant or the Restricted Stock Unit Account established for the Participant. 
3.    Vesting. 
(a)    Except as provided in subparagraph (c) below, the Restricted Stock Units shall vest on the following dates (each a “Service Date”), provided the Participant continues to be employed

by, or providing service to, the Employer (as defined in the Plan) from the Date of Grant through the applicable Service Date:
	
		
	Service Date
	     Units Vesting

	January 31, 2021
	1/3

	January 31, 2022
	1/3

	January 31, 2023
	1/3

The vesting of the Restricted Stock Units is cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the Units subject to the Restricted Stock Units.  If the foregoing schedule would produce fractional Units, the number of Units for which the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested on a Service Date shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Unit.  The Restricted Stock Units shall become vested with respect to 100% of the Units subject to the Restricted Stock Units on January 31, 2023, if the Participant is employed by, or providing service to, the Employer on such date. 
(b)    Subject to subparagraph (c) below, if at any time prior to January 31, 2023, the Participant’s employment or service with the Employer terminates for any reason, including death or disability, then all of the unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be immediately forfeited and the Participant shall not have any rights with respect to the vesting or the redemption of any portion of the Restricted Stock Unit.
(c)    If at any time prior to January 31, 2023, but while the Participant is employed by or providing service to the Employer, a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs, the Company is not the surviving corporation (or survives only as a subsidiary of another corporation or entity (the “surviving corporation”)) and the Restricted Stock Units are not converted to similar grants of the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation), then the portion of the Restricted Stock Units that have not yet vested as provided in subparagraph 3(a) above shall become fully vested on the date of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”). In the event the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units are assumed by the surviving corporation but the Participant ceases to be employed by, or providing service to, the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation) within twelve (12) months after the date of the Change of Control on account of (i) a termination of such Participant’s employment by the surviving corporation (or a parent of subsidiary of the surviving corporation) for any reason other than on account of Cause (as defined below), or on account of death or Disability (each as defined in the Plan), or (ii) a termination of employment or service by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined in the Plan), then the portion of the Restricted Stock Units that have not yet vested as provided in subparagraph 3(a) above shall become fully vested on the date of such termination of employment or service (the “Termination Date”).  For purposes of this Grant, “Change of Control” shall mean as such term is defined in the Plan, except that a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement unless the event constituting the Change of Control constitutes a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and its corresponding regulations.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Change of Control does not constitute a permitted change in control event under section 409A of the Code, then the Restricted Stock Unit shall not vest on the occurrence of the Change of Control. For purposes of this Grant, “Cause” shall mean a finding by the Committee that the Participant (i) has breached his or her employment or service contract with the Employer, 

2

if any; (ii) has engaged in disloyalty to the Employer including, without limitation, fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony or proven dishonesty; (iii) has disclosed trade secrets or confidential information of the Employer to persons not entitled to receive such information; (iv) has breached any written noncompetition or nonsolicitation agreement between the Participant and the Employer; or (v) has engaged in such other behavior detrimental to the interests of the Employer as the Committee determines.
4.    Redemption. Unless an election is made pursuant to Paragraph 5 below, the Restricted Stock Units that have become vested pursuant to Paragraph 3 shall be redeemed by the Company on the earliest of the (i) applicable Service Date, (ii) the Change of Control Date or (iii) the Termination Date, (the date of redemption is hereinafter referred to as the “Redemption Date”).  As soon as administratively practicable following the applicable Redemption Date, but not later than forty-five (45) days following the Redemption Date, (or, if applicable, the Deferred Date, as defined in Paragraph 5 below), all Restricted Stock Units that become vested pursuant to Paragraph 3 above shall be redeemed and converted to an equivalent number of shares of Company Stock, and the Participant shall receive a single distribution of such shares of Company Stock, which shall be issued under the Plan.  
5.    Deferrals. The Participant may make an irrevocable election to defer the Redemption Date (or further defer the Deferred Date (as defined below), if applicable) of any of the Restricted Stock Units that vest, plus dividend equivalents earned on such Restricted Stock Units as described in Paragraph 6 below, to a later date, provided that, except as to any election made by the Participant to accelerate the Deferred Date in the event of his or her death prior to the Deferred Date, (a) the election shall not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made, (b) the new Redemption Date cannot be earlier than five (5) years from the original Redemption Date under Paragraph 4 above (or five (5) years from the previously applicable Deferred Date, if a subsequent deferral of a Deferred Date is being made), and (c) the election must be made no less than twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Redemption Date (twelve (12) months prior to the previously applicable Deferred Date, if a subsequent deferral of a Deferred Date is being made). To defer the Redemption Date, the Participant must complete the deferral election form provided to the Participant, and return such form to the Company in the manner and by the deadline provided therein.  If the Participant desires to make a further deferral, the Participant must make such election on a separate form provided for such purpose.  Any such election shall be made in accordance with section 409A of the Code and any corresponding guidance and regulations issued under section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding a Participant’s election pursuant to this Paragraph, if the Change of Control Date or the Termination Date occurs prior to the Deferred Date, the redemption of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units, plus corresponding dividend equivalents, will be the Change of Control Date or the Termination Date, as applicable.  If a Redemption Date is delayed one or more times pursuant to any election made by the Participant pursuant to this Paragraph 5, the new Redemption Date shall be referred to as the “Deferred Date.” 

3

6.    Dividend Equivalents. Until the Redemption Date (or the Deferred Date, if elected), if any dividends are paid with respect to the shares of Company Stock, the Company shall credit to a dividend equivalent account (the “Dividend Equivalent Account”) the value of the dividends that would have been distributed if the Restricted Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Account as of the date of payment of any such dividend were shares of Company Stock. On the Redemption Date (or the Deferred Date, if applicable), the Company shall pay to the Participant in a lump sum cash equal to the value of the dividends credited to the Participant’s Dividend Equivalent Account; provided, however, that any dividends that were credited to the Participant’s Dividend Equivalent Account that are attributable to Units that have been forfeited as provided in Paragraph 3 above shall be immediately forfeited and not payable to the Participant. No interest shall accrue on any dividend equivalents credited to the Participant’s Dividend Equivalent Account.  
7.    Change of Control.  Except as set forth in Paragraph 3(c) of this Grant, the provisions set forth in the Plan applicable to a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) shall apply to the Restricted Stock Units, and, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan and is consistent with the requirements of section 409A of the Code. 
8.    Acknowledgment by Participant. By accepting this Grant, the Participant acknowledges that with respect to any right to redemption or distribution pursuant to this Grant, the Participant is and shall be an unsecured general creditor of the Company without any preference as against other unsecured general creditors of the Company, and the Participant hereby covenants for himself or herself, and anyone at any time claiming through or under the Participant not to claim any such preference, and hereby disclaims and waives any such preference which may at any time be at issue, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 
9.    Restrictions on Issuance or Transfer of Shares of Company Stock. 
(a)    To the extent permitted by Code section 409A, the obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Company Stock upon the redemption of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the condition that shares of Company Stock be qualified for listing on the New York Stock Exchange or another securities exchange and be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that any consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body that is necessary to issue shares of Company Stock has been so obtained, and that shares of Company Stock may not be issued in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.  
(b)    The issuance of shares of Company Stock and the payment of cash to the Participant pursuant to this Grant is subject to any applicable taxes and other laws or regulations of the United States or of any state having jurisdiction thereof. 

4

(c)    As a condition to receive any shares of Company Stock on the Redemption Date (or the Deferred Date, if applicable), the Participant agrees:
(i)     to be bound by, and to comply with, the Company’s policies and practices (as they may be in effect from time to time) regarding the restrictions or limitations on the transfer of such shares, and understands that the Participant may be restricted or prohibited at any time and from time to time from selling, transferring, pledging, donating, assigning, margining, mortgaging, hypothecating or otherwise encumbering the shares in accordance with such policies and practices, including without limitation the Company’s Insider Trading and Prohibited Transactions Policy and the Personal Securities Trading and Preclearance Practice; and
(ii)    that the shares of Company Stock obtained by the Participant upon the redemption of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the guidelines and restrictions set forth in the Company’s Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines and Executive Stock Retention Requirements, effective as of July 26, 2019 (and as they may be amended, restated, supplemented and interpreted), and any applicable clawback or recoupment policies and other policies that may be implemented by the Company’s Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof, from time to time.
10.    Participant Undertaking.  The Participant agrees to take whatever additional actions and execute whatever additional documents the Company may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on the Participant pursuant to the provisions of this Grant.  
11.    Grant Subject to Plan Provisions. This Grant is made pursuant to the Plan, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, and in all respects shall be interpreted in accordance with the Plan. In the event of any contradiction, distinction or difference between this Grant and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. Except as otherwise defined in this Grant, capitalized terms used in this Grant shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. This Grant is subject to the interpretations, regulations and determinations concerning the Plan established from time to time by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, provisions pertaining to (a) rights and obligations with respect to withholding taxes, (b) the registration, qualification or listing of the shares of Company Stock, (c) changes in capitalization of the Company, and (d) other requirements of applicable law. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe this Grant pursuant to the terms of the Plan, its decisions shall be conclusive as to any questions arising hereunder. By accepting this Grant, the Participant agrees (i) to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Grant, (ii) to be bound by the determinations and decisions of the Committee with respect to this Grant, the Plan and the Participant’s rights to benefits under this Grant and the Plan, and (iii) that all such determinations and decisions of the Committee shall be binding on the Participant, his or her beneficiaries and any other person having or claiming an interest under this Grant and the Plan on behalf of the Participant.

5

12.    No Rights as Stockholder. The Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company, including the right to any cash dividends (except with respect to the dividend equivalent rights provided in Paragraph 6), or the right to vote, with respect to any Restricted Stock Units. 
13.    No Rights to Continued Employment or Service. This Grant shall not confer upon the Participant any right to be retained in the employment or service of the Employer and shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the Participant’s employment or service at any time. The right of the Employer to terminate at will the Participant’s employment or service at any time for any reason is specifically reserved. 
14.    Assignment and Transfers. No Restricted Stock Units or dividend equivalents awarded to the Participant under this Grant may be transferred, assigned, pledged, or encumbered by the Participant and a Restricted Stock Unit shall be redeemed and a dividend equivalent distributed during the lifetime of the Participant only for the benefit of the Participant. Any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, or encumber the Restricted Stock Unit or dividend equivalent by the Participant shall be null, void and without effect. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company.  This Grant may be assigned by the Company without the Participant’s consent.  
15.    Withholding. The Participant shall be required to pay to the Employer, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Employer to provide for the payment of, any federal, state, local or other taxes that the Employer is required to withhold with respect to the grant, vesting and redemption of the Restricted Stock Units and payment of dividend equivalents. Any tax withholding obligation of the Employer with respect to the redemption of the Restricted Stock Units may, at the Committee’s discretion, be satisfied by having shares of Company Stock withheld, up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state, local and other tax liabilities.  
16.    Effect on Other Benefits. The value of shares of Company Stock and dividend equivalents distributed with respect to the Restricted Stock Units shall not be considered eligible earnings for purposes of any other plans maintained by the Company or the Employer. Neither shall such value be considered part of the Participant’s compensation for purposes of determining or calculating other benefits that are based on compensation, such as life insurance. 
17.    Applicable Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of this Grant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. 
18.    Notice. Any notice to the Company provided for in this instrument shall be addressed to the Company in care of the General Counsel at the Company’s corporate headquarters, and any notice to the Participant shall be addressed to such Participant at the current address shown on the payroll records of the Employer, or to such other address as the Participant may designate to the Employer in writing. Any notice shall be (i) delivered by hand, (ii) delivered by a national overnight courier or delivery service, (iii) enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as stated above, registered and deposited, postage prepaid, in a post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service, or (iv) in the case of notices by the Company to the Participant, delivered by e-mail or other electronic means (with confirmation of receipt to be made by any oral, electronic or written means). 

6

19.    Taxation; Code Section 409A. As applicable, this Grant is intended to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with Code section 409A.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, if the Restricted Stock Units constitute “deferred compensation” under section 409A of the Code, distributions made with respect to this Grant may only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted by Code section 409A.  To the extent that any provision of the Grant would cause a conflict with the requirements of Code section 409A, or would cause the administration of the Grant to fail to satisfy the requirements of Code section 409A, such provision shall, to the extent practicable if permitted by applicable law, be deemed null and void.  In the event that it is determined not feasible to void a provision of this Grant, such provision shall be construed in a manner as to comply with the Code section 409A requirements. This Grant may be amended without the consent of the Participant in any respect deemed by the Committee or its delegate to be necessary in order to comply with Code section 409A. Unless a valid election is made pursuant to Paragraph 5 above, in no event may the Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of distribution.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or the Grant to the contrary, the Participant shall be solely responsible for the tax consequences of this Grant, and in no event shall the Company have any responsibility or liability if this Grant does not meet any applicable requirements of Code section 409A.
20.    Severability.  In the event one or more of the provisions of this Grant should, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions of this Grant, and this Grant will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
