     2.1 Letting. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, the
Premises, for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set
forth in this Lease. Unless otherwise provided herein, any statement of size set forth in this

such elements in the Unit, other than those constructed by Lessee shall be in good operating
condition on said date and that the structural elements of the roof, bearing walls and foundation
of the Unit shall be free of material defects. If a non-compliance with such warranty exists as of
the Start Date, or if one of such systems or elements should malfunction or fall within the
appropriate warrant period, Lessor shall, as Lessor’s sole obligation with respect to such matter,
except as otherwise provided in this Lease, promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee
setting forth with specifically the nature and extent of such non-compliance, malfunction or
failure, rectify same at Lessor’s expense. The warranty period shall be as follows: (i) 6 months as
to the HVAC systems, and (ii) 30 days as to the remaining systems and other elements of the Unit.
If Lessee does not give Lessor the required notice within the appropriate warranty period,
correction of any such non-compliance, malfunction or failure shall be the obligation of Lessee a
Lessee’s sole cost and expense (except for the repairs to the fire sprinkler systems, roof,
foundations, and/or bearing walls-see Paragraph 7).

     2.3 Compliance. Lessor warrants that the improvements on the Premises and the Common Areas
comply with the building codes that were effect at the time that each such improvement, or
portion thereof, was constructed, and also with all applicable laws, covenants or restrictions of
record, regulations and ordinances in effect on the Start Date (“Applicable Requirements”). Said
warranty does not apply to the use to which Lessee will put the Premises or to Alterations or
Utility Installations (as defined in Paragraph 7.3(a).) made or to be made by Lessee. NOTE: Lessee
is responsible for determining whether or no the zoning is appropriate for Lessee’s intended use,
and acknowledges that past uses of the Premises may no longer be allowed. If the Premises do not
comply with said warranty, Lessor shall, except as otherwise provided, promptly after receipt of
written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature extent of such
non-compliance, rectify the same at Lessor’s expense. If Lessee does not give Lessor written notice

that non-compliance shall be the obligation of Lessee at Lessee’s sole cost and expense. If the
Applicable Requirements are hereafter changed so as to require during the term of this Lease the
construction of an addition to or an alteration of the Unit, Premises
and/ or Building, the
remediation of any Hazardous Substance, or the reinforcement or other physical modification of the
Unit, Premises and/or Building (“Capital Expenditure”) Lessor and Lessee shall allocate the cost of

general, Lessee shall be fully responsible for the cost thereof, provided, however, that if such
Capital Expenditure ___required during the last 2 years of this Lease and the cost thereof exceeds
6 months, Base Rent, Lessee may instead terminate this Lease unless Lessor notifies Lessee, in
writing, within 10 days after receipt of Lessee’s termination notice that Lesser has elected to pay
the difference between the actual cost thereof and the amount equal to 6 months’ Base
Rent. If Lessee elects termination, Lessee shall immediately cease the use of the Premises which
requires such Capital Expenditure and deliver to Lessor written notice specifying a termination
date at least 90 days thereafter. Such termination date shall, however, in no event be earlier than
the last day that Lessee could legally utilize the Premises without commencing such Capital
Expenditure.

          (b) If such Capital Expenditure is not the result of the specific and unique use of the
Premises by Lessee (such as, governmentally mandated seismic modifications), then Lessor and Lessee
shall allocate the obligation to pay for the portion of such costs reasonably attributable to the
Premises pursuant to the formula set out in Paragraph 7.1(d); provided, however, that if such
Capital Expenditure is required during the last 2 years of this Lease or if Lessor reasonably
determines that it is not economically feasible to pay as share thereof, Lessor shall have the
option to terminate this Lease upon 90 days prior written notice to Lessee unless Lessee notifies
Lessor, in writing, within 10 days after receipt of Lessor’s termination notice that Lessee will pay for
such Capital Expenditure. If Lessor does not elect to terminate, and falls to tender its share of
any such Capital Expenditure, Lessee may advance such funds and deduct same, with interest, from
Rent until Lessor’s share of such costs have been fully paid. If Lessee is unable to finance
Lessor’s share, or if the balance of the Rent due and payable for the remainder of this Lease is
not sufficient to fully reimburse Lessee on an offset basis. Lessee shall have the right to
terminate this Lease upon 30 days written notice to Lessor.

          (c) Notwithstanding the above, the provisions concerning Capital Expenditure are intended to
apply only to non-voluntary, unexpected, and new Applicable Requirements. If the Capital
Expenditure are instead triggered by Lessee as a result of an actual or proposed change in use,

Payment of Rent shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other persons or
place as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing. Acceptance of a payment which is less

regardless of Lessor’s endorsement of any check so stating. In the event that any check, draft, or
other instrument of payment given by Lessee to Lessor is dishonored for any reason, Lessee agrees
to pay to Lessor the sum of $25.

total amount of the Security Deposit shall at all times bear the same proportion to the Increased
Base Rent as the initial Security Deposit bore to the initial Base Rent. Should the Agreed Use be

assignee, Lessor shall have the right to increase the Security Deposit to the extent necessary. In
Lessor’s reasonable judgment, to account for any increased wear and tear that the Premises may
suffer as a result thereof. If a change in control of Lessee occurs during this Lease and following
such change the financial condition of Lessee is, in Lessor’s reasonable judgment, significantly

the Security Deposit to be at a commercially reasonable level based on such change in financial
condition. Lessor shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general
accounts. Within 14 days after the expiration or termination of this Lease, If Lessor elects to
apply the Securiy Deposit only to unpaid Rent, and otherwise within 30 days after the Premises have
been vacated pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(c) below, Lessor shall return that portion of the Security
Deposit not used or applied by Lessor. No part of the Security Deposit shall be considered to be
held in trust, to bear interest or to be prepayment for any monies to be paid by Lessee under this
Lease. Lessee’s Deposit to be returned to the Lessee after 5 years of Lease Term. In the event of a
sublease or assignment the deposit will be reinstated.

intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or organizations, but shall include coverage
for liability assumed under this Lease as an “insured contract” for the performance of Lessee’s
indemnity obligations under this Lease. The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the
liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder. All insurance carried by Lessee

personal property, Trade Fixtures and Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations. Lessee
shall provide Lessor with written evidence that such insurance is in force, Lessee shall have the

remaining term of this Lease, whichever is less. If either Party shall fail to procure and maintain
the insurance required to be carried by it, the other Party may, but shall not be required to,
procure and maintain the same and the Party required to carry such insurance shall promptly
reimburse the other Party.

     8.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Without affecting any other rights or remedies, Lessee and Lessor
each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive their entire right to recover damages against
the other, for loss of or damage to its property arising out of or incident to the perils required

person or goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Lessee, Lessee’s employees, contractors,
invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is

conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Building, or from other sources
or places. Lessor shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other
tenant of Lessor nor from the failure of Lessor to enforce the provisions of any other lease in the
Project. Notwithstanding Lessor’s negligence or breach of this Lease, Lessor shall under no
circumstances be liable for injury to Lessee’s business or for any loss of income or profit
therefrom.

9. Damage or Destruction.

     If the partial or total damage is a result of an action or omission of the lessee then the
lessee should not be exonerated from the lease and the rights of Lessor to terminate or rebuild
should be maintained at Lessor’s election. Lessee should have nor right to terminate the lease
under those circumstances.

9.1 Definitions.

          (a) “Premises Partial Damage” shall mean damage or destruction to the improvements on the
Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, which can reasonably be
repaired in 3 months or less from the date of the damage or destruction, and the cost thereof does
not exceed a sum equal to 6 month’s which shall be the Lessor of 36 months base Rent or the
remaining value of tenant improvements prorated on the balance of 5 year term. Lessor shall notify
Lessee in writing within 30 days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not
the damage is Partial or Total.

          (b) “Premises Total Destruction” shall mean damage or destruction to the improvements on the
Premises, other than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which
cannot reasonably repaired in 3 months or less from the date of the damage or destruction and/or
the cost thereof exceeds a sum equal to 6 month’s Base Rent. Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing
within 30 days from the date of the damage or destruction as to whether or not the damage is
Partial or Total.

          (c) “Insured Loss” shall mean damage or destruction to Improvements on the Premises, other
than Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations and Trade Fixtures, which was caused by an
event required to be covered by the insurance described in Paragraph 8.3(a), irrespective of any
deductible amounts or coverage limits involved.

involving the presence of, or a contamination by, a Hazardous Substance as defined in Paragraph
6.2(a), in, on, or under the Premises.

     9.2 Partial Damage — Insured Loss. If a Premises Partial Damage that is an insured Loss
occurs, then Lessor shall, at Lessor’s expense, repair such damage (but not Lessee’s Trade Fixtures
or Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations) as soon as reasonably possible and this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that Lessee shall, at Lessor’s
election, make the repair of any damage or destruction the total cost to repair of which is $5,000
or less, and, in such event, Lessor shall make any applicable insurance proceeds available to
Lessee on a reasonable basis for that purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the required
insurance was not in force or the insurance proceeds are not sufficient to affect such repair, the
Insuring Party shall promptly contribute the shortage in proceeds as and when required to complete
said repairs. In the event, however, such shortage was due to the fact that, by reason of the
unique nature of the improvements, full replacement cost insurance coverage was not
commercially reasonable and available. Lessor shall have no obligation to pay for the shortage in
insurance proceeds or to fully restore the unique aspects of the Premises unless Lessee provides
Lessor with the funds to cover same, or adequate assurance thereof, within 10 days following
receipt of written notice of such shortage and request therefor. If Lessor receives said funds or
adequate assurance thereof within said 10 day period, the party responsible for making the repairs
shall complete them as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect, if such funds or assurance are not received, Lessor may nevertheless elect by written
notice to Lessee within 10 days thereafter to: (i) make such restoration and repair as is
commercially reasonable with Lessor paying any shortage in proceeds, in which case this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect, or (ii) have this Lease terminate 30 days thereafter, Lessee shall
not be entitled to reimbursement of any funds contributed by Lessee to repair any such damage or
destruction. Premises Partial Damage due to flood or earthquake shall be subject to Paragraph 9.3,
notwithstanding that there may be some insurance coverage, but the net proceeds of any such
insurance shall be made available for the repairs if made by either Party.

     9.3 Partial Damage — Uninsured Loss. If a Premises Partial Damage that is not an Insured Loss
occurs, unless caused by a negligent or willful act of Lessee (in which event Lessee shall make the
repairs at Lessee’s expense). Lessor may either: (i) repair such damage as soon as reasonably
possible at Lessor’s expense, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, or
(ii) terminals this Lease by giving written notice to Lessee within 30 days after receipt by Lessor
of knowledge of the occurrence of such damage. Such termination shall be effective 60 days
following the date of such notice. In the event Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, Lessee shall
have the right within 10 days after receipt of the termination notice to give written notice to
Lessor of Lessee’s commitment to pay for the repair of such damage without reimbursement from
Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor with said funds or satisfactory assurance thereof

and effect, and Lessor shall proceed to make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible after the
required funds are available. If Lessee does not make the required commitment, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date specified in the termination notice.

     9.4 Total Destruction. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if a Premises Total Destruction occurs, this Lease
shall terminate 60 days following such Destruction. If the damage or destruction was caused by the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessee, Lessor shall have the right to recover Lessor’s
damages from Lessee, except as provided in Paragraph 8.6.

     9.5 Damage Near End of Term. If at any time during the last 6 months of this Lease there is damage for which the cost to repair exceeds
one month’s Base Rent, whether or not an Insured Loss, Lessor may terminate this Lease effective 60
days following the date of occurrence of such damage by giving a written termination notice to
Lessee within 30 days after the date of occurrence of such damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if Lessee at that time has an exercisable option to extend this Lease or to purchase the Premises,
then Lessee may preserve this Lease by, (a) exercising such option and (b) providing Lessee with
any shortage in insurance proceeds (or adequate assurance thereof) needed to make the repairs on or
before the earlier of (i) the date which is 10 days after Lessee’s receipt of Lessor’s written
notice purporting to terminate this Lease, or (ii) the day prior to the date upon which such option
expires. If Lessee duly exercise such option during such period and provides Lessor with funds (or
adequate assurance thereof) to cover any shortage in insurance proceeds, Lessor shall, a Lessor’s
commercially reasonable expense, repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect. If Lessee fail to exercise such option and provide such
funds or assurance during such period, then this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in the
termination notice and Lessee’s option shall be extinguished.

     9.6 Abatement of Rent; Lessee’s Remedies.

          (a) Abatement. In the event of Premises Partial Damage or Premises Total Destruction or a
Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not responsible under this Lease, the Rent
payable by Lessee for the period required for the repair, remediation or restoration of such damage
shall be abated it proportion to the degree to which Lessee’s use of the Premises is impaired, but
not to exceed the proceeds received from the Rental Value Insurance. All other obligations of
Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessor shall have no liability for any such
damage, destruction, remediation, repair or restoration except as provided herein.

          (b) Remedies. If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises and does not commence, in a substantial
and meaningful way such repair or restoration within 90 days after such obligation shall accrue,
Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written
notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice, of Lessee’s election to
terminate this Lease on a date not less than 60 days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee
gives such notice and such repair or restoration is not commenced within 30 days thereafter; this
Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If the repair or restoration is
commenced within such 30 days, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. “Commence” shall
mean either the unconditional written authorization by Lessor of the preparation of the required
plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever first occurs.

     9.7 Termination; Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease pursuant
to Paragraph 6.2(g) or Paragraph 9, an equitable adjustment shall be made concerning advance Base
Rent and any other advance payments made by Lessee to Lessor. Lessor shall, in addition, return to
Lessee so much of Lessee’s Security Deposit as has not been, or is not then required to be, used by

taxes); improvement bond; and/or license fee imposed upon or levied against any legal or equitable
interest of Lessor in the Project, Lessor’s right to other income therefrom, and/or Lessor’s
business of leasing, by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax and where the
funds are generated with the reference to the Project address and where the proceeds so generated
are to be applied by the city county or other local taxing authority of a jurisdiction within which
the Project is located. The term “Real Property Taxes” shall also include any tax, fee, levy,
assessment or charge, or any increase therein, imposed by reason of events occurring during the
term of this Lease, including but not limited to, a change in the ownership of the Project or any
portion thereof or a change in the improvements thereon.

assessed against the Premises, Building, Project or Common Areas in the calendar year during which
the Lease is executed. In calculating Real Property Taxes for any calendar year, the Real Property
Taxes for any real estate tax year shall be included in the calculation of Real Property Taxes for
such calendar year based upon the number of days which such calendar year and tax year have in
common.

          10.2 Payment of Taxes. Lessor shall pay the Real Property Taxes applicable to the Project,
and except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 10.3, any increases in such amounts over the Base
Real Property Taxes shall be included in the calculation of Common Area Operating Expenses in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 4.2.

          10.3 Additional Improvements. Common Area
Operating Expenses shall not include Real Property Taxes specified in the tax assessor’s records
and work sheets as being caused by additional improvements placed upon the Project by other lessees
or by Lessor for the exclusive enjoyment of such other lessees. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10.2

under Paragraph 4.2, the entirety of any increase in Real Property Taxes if assessed solely by
reason of Alterations. Trade Fixtures or Utility installations placed upon the Premises by Lessee

allocated to the Building shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property Taxes for all
of the land and improvements included within the tax [ILLEGIBLE] assessed, such proportion to be
determined by Lessor from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor’s work sheets or such
other intermation as may be reasonably available. Lessor’s reasonable determination thereof in good
faith, shall be conclusive.

          10.5 Personal Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against
and levied upon Lessee Owned Alterations and Utility Installations, Trade Fixtures, furnishings,
equipment and all personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises. When possible, Lessee

within 10 days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the taxes applicable to Lessee’s
property.

11. Utilities. Lessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, trash
disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes
thereon. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 4.2, if at any time in Lessee’s sale

electricity or other commonly metered utilities, or that Lessee is generating such a large volume
of trash as to require an increase in the size of the dumpster and/or an increase in the number of
times per month that the dumpster is emptied, than Lessor may increase Lessee’s Base Rent by an
amount equal increased to such costs.

12. Assignment and Subletting.

     12.1 Lessor’s Consent Required.

          (a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage or encumber
(collectively, “assign or assignment”) or sublet all or any part of Lessee’s interest in this Lease
or in the Premises without Lessor prior written consent. Such consent shall not unreasonably
withheld. Lessor’s reasonable grounds for denying consent shall be in writing the reason for denial
which include, but are not limited to, any of the following. (1) Transferee’s character,
reputation, credit history, or business is not consistent with the character or quality of the
premises; (2) Transferee would be a significantly less-prestigious occupant of the premises than
Lessee; (c) Transferee’s intended use of the premises is inconsistent with the provisions of
Section [ILLEGIBLE]. or will materiallty and adversely affect Lessor’s interest; (d) Transferee’s
financial condition is, or maybe, inadequate to support transferee’s obligation under the Lesse; or
(e) Transferee’s financial condition is materially interior to that of Lessee. (f) an increase in
Hazardous Material used.

          (b) A change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an assignment requiring consent. The
transfer, on a cumulative basis, of 25% or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a
change in control for this purpose. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          (c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or series of transactions (by
way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or
not a formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee’s assets occurs, which results or
will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee by an amount greater than 33 25% of such Net
Worth as it was represented at the time of the execution of this Lease or at the time of the most
recent assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately prior to said
transaction or transactions constituing such reduction, whichever was or is greater, shall be
considered an assignment of this Lease to which Lessor may withhold its consent. “Net Worth of
Lessee” shall mean the net worth of Lessee (excluding any guarantors) established under generally
accepted accounting principles.

          (d) An assignment or subletting without consent shall, at Lessor’s option,
be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(c). or a noncurable Breach without the
necessity of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat such unapproved assignment or
subletting as a noncurable Breach, Lessor may either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon 30
days written notice, increase the monthly Base Rent to 110% of the Base Rent then in effect.
Further, in the event of such Breach and rental adjustment, (i) the purchase price of any option to
purchase the Premises held by Lessee shall be subject to similar adjustment to 110% of the price
previously in effect, and (ii) all fixed and non-fixed rental adjustments scheduled during the
remainder of the Lease term shall be increased to 110% of the scheduled adjusted rent.

          (e) Lessee’s remedy for any breach of Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor shall be limited to
compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief.

     12.2 Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting.

          (a) Regardless of Lessor’s consent, any assignment or subletting shall not: (i) be effective without the express written
assumption by such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease (ii) release
Lessee of any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary liability of Lessee for the payment
of Rent or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by Lessee.

          (b) Lessor may accept Rent or performance of Lessee’s obligations from any person other than Lessee pending
approval or disapproval of an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such
assignment nor the acceptance of Rent or performance shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of
Lessor’s right to exercise its remedies for Lessee’s Default or Breach.

          (c) Lessor’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.

          (d) In the event of any Default or Breach by Lessee, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee,
any Guarantors of anyone else responsible for the performance of Lessee’s obligations under this
Lease, including any assignee or sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor’s remedies against any
other person or entity responsible therefore to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor.

          (e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be in writing, accompanied by information
relevant to Lessor’s determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and
appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not limited to the intended
use and/or required modification of the Premises Lessor shall have the right to charge Lessee for
Lessor’s actual costs incurred in connection with its legal, accounting and or consulting fees
incurred in reviewing Lessees proposed assignment or subletting. The amount Lessee is obligated to
pay Lessor for these reimbursable costs shall not exceed 10% of the initial monthly rent payable by
Lessee. Any amount owed by Lessee per this provision shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor within
ten (10) days of receipt of Lessor’s written invoice documenting the cost incurred by Lessor. If
any, together with a fee of $1,000 or 10% of the current monthly Base Rent applicable to the
portion of the Premises which is the subject of the proposed assignment or sublease, whichever is
greater, as consideration for Lessor’s considering and processing said request. Lessee agrees to
provide Lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably
requested.

          (f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of accepting such
assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed to have assumed and agreed to conform and
comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or
performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as
are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has
specifically consented to in writing.

     12.3 Additional Terms and Conditions Applicable to Subletting. The following terms and conditions shall apply to any subletting by Lessee of all or any part of
the Premises and shall be deemed included in all subleases under this Lease whether or not
expressly incorporated therein:

          (a) Lessee hereby assigns and transfers to Lessor all of Lessee’s
interest in all Rent payable on any sublease, and Lessor may collect such Rent and apply same
toward Lessee’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a Breach shall occur
in the performance of Lessee’s obligations. Lessee may collect said Rent. Lessor shall not, by
reason of the foregoing or any assignment of such sublease, nor by reason of the collection of
Rent, be deemed liable to the sublessee for any failure of Lessee to perform and comply with any of
Lessee’s obligations to such sublessee. Lessee hereby Irrevocably authorizes and directs any such
sublessee, upon receipt of a written notice from Lessor stating that a Breach exists in the
Performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, to pay to Lessor all Rent due and to become
due under the sublease. Sublessee shall rely upon any such notice from Lessor and shall pay all
Rents to Lessor without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such Breach exists,
notwithstanding any claim from Lessee to the Contrary.

          (b) In the event of a Breach by Lessee, Lessor may, at its option, require sublessee to [ILLEGIBLE] to Lessor, in which event Lessor shall
undertake the obligations of the sublessor under such sublease from the time of the exercise of
said option to the expiration of such sublease; provided, however, Lessor shall not be liable for
any prepaid rents or security deposit paid by such sublessee to such sublessor or for any prior
Defaults or Breaches of such sublessor.

          (c) Any matter requiring the consent of the sublessor under a sublease shall also require the consent of Lessor, only when Lessor’s consent is required under a
master lease agreement.

          (d) No sublessee shall further assign or sublet all or any part of the Premises without Lessor’s prior written consent.

          (e) Lessor shall deliver a copy of any notice of Default or Breach by Lessee to the sublessee, who shall have the right to cure the Default of
Lessee within the grace period, if any, specified in such notice. The sublessee shall have a right
of reimbursement and offset from and against Lessee for any such Defaults cured by the
sublessee.

13. Default; Breach; Remedies.

     13.1 Default; Breach. A “Default” is defined as a failure by the Lessee to comply with or
perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions or Rules and Regulations under this Lease. A
“Breach” is defined as the occurrence of one or more of the following Defaults, and the failure of
Lessee to cure such Default within any applicable grace period:

          (a) The abandonment of the
Premises; or the vacating of the Premises without providing a commercially reasonable level of
security, or where the coverage of the property insurance described in Paragraph 8.3 is [ILLEGIBLE]
as a result thereof, or without providing reasonable assurances to minimize potential vandalism.

          (b) The failure of Lessee to make any payment of Rent or any Security Deposit required to be made
by Lessee hereunder, whether to Lessor or to a third party, when due, to provide reasonable
evidence of insurance or surely bond, or to fulfill any obligation under this Lease which endangers
or threatens life or property, where such failure continues to a period of 3 business days
following written notice to Lessee.

          (c) The failure by Lessee to provide (i) reasonable written evidence of compliance with
Applicable Requirements, (ii) the service contracts, (iii) the rescission of an unauthorized
assignment or subletting, (iv) an Estoppel Certificate, (v) a requested subordination, (vi)
evidence concerning any guaranty and/or Guarantor, (vii) any document requested under Paragraph 41
(easements), or (viii) any other documentation or information which Lessor may reasonably require
of Lessee under the terms of this Lease, where any such failure continues for a period of 10 days following written notice to
Lessee.

          (d) A default by Lessee as to the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or
of the rules adopted under Paragraph 2.9 hereof, other than those described in subparagraphs
13.1(a), (b) or (c) above, where such Default continues for a period of 30 days after written
notice; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee’s Default is such that more than 30 days
are reasonably required for its cure, then it shall not be deemed to be a Breach if Lessee
commences such cure within said 30 day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion.

          (e) The occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the making of any general arrangement
or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) becoming a “debtor” as defined in 11 U.S.C § 101
or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Lessee, the same
is dismissed within 60 days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of
substantially all of Lessee’s assets located at the Premises or of Lessee’s interest in this Lease,
where possession is not restored to Lessee within 30 days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or
other judicial seizure of substantially all of Lessee’s assets located at the Premises or of
Lessee’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within 30 days; provided,
however, in the event that any provision of this subparagraph (e) is contrary to any applicable
law, such provision shall be of no force or effect, and not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions.

          (f) The discovery that any financial statement of Lessee or of any Guarantor given to Lessor
was materially false.

          (g) If the performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease is guaranteed: (i) the death
of a Guarantor, (ii) the termination of a Guarantor’s liability with respect to this Lease other
than in accordance with the terms of such guaranty, (iii) a Guarantor’s becoming insolvent or the
subject of a bankruptcy filing, (iv) a Guarantor’s refusal to honor the guaranty, or (v) a
Guarantor’s breach of its guaranty obligation on an anticipatory basis, and Lessee’s failure,
within 60 days following written notice of any such event, to provide written alternative assurance
or security, which, when coupled with the then existing resources of Lessee, equals or exceeds the
combined financial resources of Lessee and the Guarantors that existed at the time of execution of
this Lease.

     13.2 Remedies. If Lessee falls to perform any of its affirmative duties or obligations, within
10 days after written notice (or in case of an emergency, without notice), Lessor may, at its
option, perform such duty or obligation on Lessee’s behalf, including but not limited to the
obtaining of reasonably required bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or
approvals. The costs and expenses of any such performance by Lessor shall be due and payable by
Lessee upon receipt of invoice therefore. If any check given to Lessor by Lessee shall not be
honored by the bank upon which it is drawn, Lessor, at its option, may require all future payments
to be made by Lessee to be by cashier’s check. In the event of a Breach, Lessor may, with or
without further notice or demand, and without limiting Lessor in the exercise of any right or
remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such Breach:

          (a) Terminate Lessee’s right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case
this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession to Lessor. In such
event Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee: (i) the unpaid Rent which had been earned at
the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent
which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that the Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time
of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award
exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided; and (iv)
any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by the
Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of
things would be likely to result therefrom, including but not limited to the cost of recovering
possession of the Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation and alteration of
the Premises, reasonable attorney’s fees, and that portion of any leasing commission paid by Lessor
in connection with this Lease applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease. The worth at the time
of award of the amount referred to in provision (III) of the immediately preceding sentence shall
be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of the
District within which the Premises are located at the time of award plus one percent. Efforts by
Lessor to mitigate damages caused by Lessee’s Breach of this Lease shall not waive Lessor’s right
to recover damages under paragraph 12. If termination of this Lease is obtained through the
provisional remedy of unlawful detainer, Lessor shall have the right to recover in such proceedings
any unpaid Rent and damages as are recoverable therein, or Lessor may reserve the right to recover
all or any part thereof in a separate suit. If a notice and grace period required under Paragraph
13.1 was not previously given, a notice to pay rent or quit, or to perform or quit given to Lessee
under the unlawful detainer statutes shall also constitute the notice required by Paragraph 13.1. In
such case, the applicable grace period required by Paragraph 13.1 and the unlawful detainer statute
shall run concurrently, and the failure of Lessee to cure the Default within the greater of the two
such grace periods shall constitute both an unlawful detainer and a Breach of this Lease entitling
Lessor to the remedies provided for in this Lease and/or by said statute.

          (b) Continue the Lease and Lessee’s right to possession and recover the Rent as it becomes due, in
which event Lessee may sublet or assign.

subject only to reasonable limitations. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet, and/or the
appointment of a receiver to protect the Lessor’s interests, shall not constitute
a termination of the Lessee’s right to possession.

          (c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available under the laws or judicial decisions of
the state wherein the Premises are located. The expiration or termination of this Lease and/or the
termination of Lessee’s right to possession shall not relieve Lessee or Lessor from liability under
any indemnity provisions of this Lease as to matters occurring or accruing during the term hereof
or by reason of Lessee’s occupancy of the Premises.

     13.3 Inducement Recapture. Any agreement for free or abated rent or other charges, or for the
giving or paying by Lessor to or for Lessee of any cash or other bonus, inducement or consideration
for Lessee’s entering into this Lease, all of which concessions are hereinafter referred to as
“Inducement Provisions", shall be deemed conditioned upon Lessee’s full and faithful performance of
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Upon Breach of this Lease by Lessee, any
such inducement Provision shall automatically be deemed defeated from this Lease and of no further
force or effect, and any rent, other charge, bonus, inducement or consideration theretofore abated,
given or paid by Lessor under such an Inducement Provision shall be immediately due and payable by
Lessee to Lessor, notwithstanding any subsequent cure of said Breach by Lessee. The acceptance by
Lessor of rent or the cure of the Breach which initiated the operation of this paragraph shall not
be deemed a waiver by Lessor of the provisions of this paragraph unless specifically so stated in
writing by Lessor at the time of such acceptance.

     13.4 Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late payment by Lessee of Rent will cause
Lessor to incur costs nor contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely
difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting
charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Lessor by any Lender. Accordingly, if any Rent
shall not be received by Lessor within 10 5 days after such amount shall be due, then, without any
requirement for notice to Lessee, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a one-time late charge equal to 10% of
each such overdue amount or $100 whichever is greater. The parties hereby agree that such late
charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lessor will incur by reason of such
late payment. Acceptance of such late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of
Lessee’s Default or Breach with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent the exercise of any of
the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge is payable
hereunder, whether or not collected, for 3 consecutive installments of Base Rent, then
notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Base Rent shall, at Lessor’s option,
become due and payable quarterly in advance.

     13.5 Interest. Any monetary payment due Lessor hereunder, other than late charges, not
received by Lessor, when due as to scheduled payments (such as Base Rent) or within 30 days
following the date on which it was due for non-scheduled payment, shall bear interest from the date
when due, as to scheduled payments, or the 31st day after it was due as to non-scheduled payments.
The Interest (“Interest”) charged shall be equal to the prime rate reported in the Wall Street
Journal as published closest prior to the date when due plus 4%, but shall not exceed the
maximum rate allowed by law. Interest is payable in addition to the potential late charge
provided for in Paragraph 13.4.

     13.6 Breach by Lessor.

          (a) Notice of Breach. Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this
Lease unless Lessor falls within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be
performed by Lessor. For purposes of this Paragraph, a reasonable time shall be 10 days in the
event of an emergency that threatens life or property and other obligations shall in no event be
more less than 30 days after receipt by Lessor, and any Lender whose name and address shall have
been furnished Lessee in writing for such purpose, of written notice specifying wherein such
obligation of Lessor has not been performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor’s
obligation is such that more than 30 days are reasonably required for its performance, then Lessor
shall not be in breach if performance is commenced within such 30 day period and thereafter
diligently pursued to completion.

          (b) Performance by Lessee on Behalf of Lessor. In the event that neither Lessor nor Lender
cures said breach within 30 days after receipt of said notice, or if having commenced said cure
they do not diligently pursue it to completion, then Lessee may elect to cure said breach at
Lessee’s expense and offset from Rent an amount equal to the greater of one month’s Base Rent or
the Security Deposit, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Lessor and Lessee, and to pay an
excess of such expense under protest reserving Lessee’s right to reimbursement from Lessor. Lessee
shall document the cost of said cure and supply said documentation to Lessor.

14. Condemnation. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under the power of eminent
domain or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (collectively “Condemnation”), this
Lease shall terminate as to the part taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or
possession, whichever first occurs. If more than 10% of the floor area of the Unit or more than 25%
of Lessee’s Reserved Parking Spaces, is taken by Condemnation, Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, to
be exercised in writing within 30 - 40 days after Lesser shall have given Lessee written notice of
such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within 30 40 days after the condemning authority
shall have taken possession) terminate the Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes such
possession. If Lessee does not terminate this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the
Base Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction to Utility of the Premises caused by such
Condemnation. Condemnation awards and/or payments shall be the property of Lessor, whether such
award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, the value of the part
taken, or for severance damages; provided, however, that Lessee shall be entitled to any
compensation for Lessee’s relocation expenses, loss of business goodwill and/or Trade Fixtures,
without regard to whether or not this Lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this
Paragraph. All Alterations and Utility installations made to the Premises by Lessee, for purposes
of Condemnation only, shall be considered the property of the Lessee and Lessee shall be entitled
to any and all compensation which is payable therefor. In the event that this Lease is not
terminated by reason of the Condemnation, Lessor shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by
such Condemnation.

15. Brokerage Fees.

     15.1 Additional Commission. In addition to the payments owed pursuant to Paragraph 1.10 above,
and unless Lessor and the Brokers otherwise agree in writing, Lessor agrees that: (a) if Lessee
exercises any Option, (b) if Lessee acquires from Lessor any rights to the Premises or other
premises owed by Lessor and located within the Project, (c) if Lessee remains in possession of the
Premises with the consent of Lessor, after the expiration of this Lease, or (d) if Base Rent is
increased, whether by agreement or operation of an escalation clause herein, then, Lessor shall pay
Brokers a fee in accordance with the schedule of the Brokers in effect at the time of the execution
of this Lease.

     15.2 Assumption of Obligation. Any buyer or transferee of Lessor’s interest in this shall be
deemed to have assumed Lessor’s obligation hereunder. Brokers shall be third party beneficiaries of
the provisions of Paragraphs 1.10, 15, 22 and 31. If Lessor fails to pay to Brokers any amounts due
as and for brokerage fees pertaining to this Lease when due, then such amounts shall accrue
interest. In addition, if Lessor fails to pay any amounts to Lessee’s Broker when due, Lessee’s
Broker may send written notice to Lessor and Lessee of such failure and if Lessor fails to pay such
amounts within 10 days after said notice, Lessee shall pay said monies to its Broker and offset
such amounts against Rent. In addition, Lessee’s Broker shall be deemed to be a third party
beneficiary of any commission agreement entered into by and/or between Lessor and Lessor’s Broker
for the limited purpose of collecting any brokerage fee owed.

     15.3 Representations and Indemnities of Broker Relationships. Lessee and Lessor each represent
and warrant to the other than it has had no dealings with any person, firm, broker or finder (other
than the Brokers, if any) in connection with this Lease, and that no one other than said named
Brokers is entitled to any commission or finder’s fee in connection herewith, Lessee and Lessor do
each hereby agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and against
liability for compensation or charges which may be claimed by any such unnamed broker, finder or
other similar party by reason of any dealings or actions of the indemnifying Party, including any
costs, expenses, attorneys fees reasonably incurred with respect thereto.

16. Estoppel Certificates.

          (a) Each
Party (as “Responding Party ”) shall within 10 days after
written notice from the other Party (the “Requesting Party") execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Requesting Party a statement in writing in form similar to the then most current “Estoppel
Certificate” from published by the American Industrial Real Estate Association, plus such
additional information, confirmation and/or statements as may be reasonably requested by the
Requesting Party.

          (b) If the Responding Party shall fail to execute or deliver the Estoppel Certificate within
such 10 day period, the Requesting Party may execute an Estoppel Certificate stating that: (i) the
Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as may be represented by the
Requesting Party, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in the Requesting Party’s performance, and
(iii) if Lessor is the Requesting Party, not more than one month’s rent has been paid in advance.
Prospective purchasers and encumbrancers may rely upon the Requesting Party’s Estoppel Certificate,
and the Responding Party shall be estopped from denying the truth of the
facts contained in said Certificate.

          (c) If Lessor desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Premises, or any part thereof, Lessee
and all Guarantors shall deliver to any potential lender or purchaser designated by Lessor such
financial statements as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser in confidence and
shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

17. Definition of Lessor. The term “Lessor” as used herein shall mean the owner or owners at the
time in question of the fee title to the Premises, or, if this is a sublease, of the Lessee’s
interest in the prior lease. In the event of a transfer of Lessor’s title or interest title or
interest in the Premises or this Lease, Lessor shall deliver to the transferee or assignee (in cash
or by credit) any unused Security Deposit held by Lessor. Except as provided in Paragraph 15, upon
such transfer or assignment and delivery of the Security Deposit, as aforesaid, the prior Lessor
shall be relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations and/or covenants under this
Lease thereafter to be performed by the Lessor. Subject to the foregoing, the obligations and/or
covenants in this Lease to be performed by the Lessor shall be binding only upon the Lessor as
hereinabove defined. Notwithstanding the above, and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 20
below, the original Lessor under this Lease, and all subsequent holders of the Lessor’s interest in
this Lease shall remain liable and responsible with regard to the potential duties and liabilities
of Lessor pertaining to Hazardous Substances as outlined in Paragraph 6.2 above.

Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof.

Lease shall mean and refer to calendar days.

20. Limitation on Liability. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 17 above, the obligations of

liability of Lessor with respect of this Lease, and shall not seek recourse against the individual

shareholders, or any of their personal assets for such satisfaction.

be performed or observed by the Parties under this Lease.

22. No Prior or Other Agreements; Broker Disclaimer. This Lease contains all agreements between the
Parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein, and no other prior or contemporaneous
agreement or understanding shall be effective. Lessor and Lessee each represents and warrants to
the Brokers that it has made, and is relying solely upon, its own investigation as to the nature,
quality, character and financial responsibility of the other Party to this Lease and as to the use,
nature, quality and character of the Premises. Brokers have no responsibility with respect thereto
or within respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The liability (including court
costs and attorneys’ fees), of any Broker with respect to negotiation, execution, delivery or
performance by either Lessor or Lesser under this Lease or any amendment or modification hereof
shall be limited to an amount up to the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Lease;
provided however, that the foregoing limitation on each Broker’s liability shall not be applicable
to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker.

23. Notices.

     23.1 Notice Requirements. All notices required or permitted by this Lease or applicable law shall
be in writing and may be delivered in person (by hand or by courier) or may be sent by regular,
certified or registered mail or U.S. Postal Service Express Mail, with postage prepaid, or by
facsimile transmission, and shall be deemed sufficiently given if served in a manner specified in
this Paragraph 23. Each notice shall be provided to each party constituting Lessor. The addresses
noted adjacent to a Party’s signature on this Lease shall be that Party’s address for delivery or
mailing of notices. Either Party may by written notice to the other specify a different address for
notice, except that upon Lessee’s taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall constitute

be deemed received on the next business day.

24. Waivers. No waiver by Lessor of the Default or Breach of any term, covenant or condition hereof
by Lessee, shall be deemed a waiver of any other term, covenant or condition hereof, or of any
subsequent Default or Breach by Lessee of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition
hereof. Lessor’s consent to, or approval or, any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the
obtaining of Lessor’s consent to, or approval of, any subsequent or similar act by Lessee, or be
construed as the basis of an estoppel to enforce the provision or provisions of this Lease
requiring such consent. The acceptance of Rent by Lessor shall not be a waiver of any Default or
Breach by Lessee. Any payment by Lessee may be accepted by Lessor on account of monies or damages
due Lessor, notwithstanding any qualifying statements or conditions made by Lessee in connection
herewith, which such statements and/or conditions shall be of no force or effect whatsoever unless
specifically agreed to in writing by Lessor at or before the time of deposit of such payment.

25. Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estate Agency Relationship.

     (a) When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transaction, a
Lessor or Lessee should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or
representation it has with the agent or agents in the transaction. Lessor and Lessee acknowledge
being advised by the Brokers in this transaction, as follows:

          (i) Lessor’s Agent. A Lessor’s agent under a listing agreement with the Lessor acts as the
agent for the Lessor only. A Lessor’s agent or subagent has the following affirmative obligations:
To the Lessor. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings
with the Lessor. To the Lessee and the Lessor: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills
and care in performance of the agent’s duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.
c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability
of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the
Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained
from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.

          (ii) Lessee’s Agent: An agent can agree to act as agent for the Lessee only. In these
situations, the agent is not the Lessor’s agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive
compensation for services rendered either in full or in part from the Lessor. An agent acting only
for a Lessee has the following affirmative obligations. To the Lessee. A fiduciary duty of
utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Lessee. To the Lessee and the
Lessor. a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agents duties.
b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the
agent materially affecting the value [Illegible] of the property that are not known to, or within
the diligent attention and observation of the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to
either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the
affirmative duties set forth above.

          (iii) Agent Representing Both Lessor and Lessee. A real estate agent, either acting
directly or through one or more associate licenses, can legally be the agent of both the Lessor and
the Lessee in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Lessor and the
Lessee, In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the
Lessor and the Lessee: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the
dealings with either Lessor or the Lessee. b. Other duties to the Lessor and the Lessee as stated
above in subparagraphs (i) or (ii). In representing both Lessor and Lessee, the agent may not
without the express permission of the respective Party, disclose to the other Party that the Lessor
will accept rent in an amount less then that indicated in the listing or that the Lessee is willing
to pay a higher rent than that offered. The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction
do not relieve a Lessor or Lessee from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Lessor
and Lessee should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their
understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real
estate. If legal or tax advice is desired consult a competent professional.

     (b) Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The liability
(including court costs and attorneys’ fees), of any Broker with respect to any breach of duty,
error or omission relating to this Lease shall not exceed the fees received by such Broker pursuant
to this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Broker’s liability shall
not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker.

     (c) Buyer and Seller
agree to identify to Brokers as “Confidential” any communication or information given Brokers that
is considered by such Party to be confidential.

26. No Right To Holdover. Lessee has no right to retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof
beyond the expiration or termination of this Lease. In the event that Lessee holds over, then the Base
Rent shall be increased to 150% of the Base Rent applicable immediately preceding the expiration or termination.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Lessor to any holding over by Lessee.

27. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, whenever possible, be cumulative
with all other remedies at law or in equity.

28. Covenants a Conditions; Construction of Agreement. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and
conditions. In construing this Lease, all headings and titles are for the conveniences of the
Parties only and shall not be considered a part of this Lease. Whenever required by the context,
the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. This Lease shall not be construed as if
prepared by one of the Parties, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both
Parties had prepared it.

29. Binding Effect; Choice of Law. This Lease shall be binding upon the parties,
their personal representatives, successors and assigns and be governed by the laws of the State in
which the Premises are located. Any [Illegible] between the Parties hereto concerning this Lease
shall be initiated in the county in which the Premises are located.

30.
Subordination; Attornment; Non-Disturbance.

     30.1
Subordination. This Lease and any Option granted hereby shall be subject and
subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or other hypothecation or security device
(collectively, “Security Device”), now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, to any and all
advances made on the security thereof, and to all renewals, modifications, and extensions thereof.
Lessee agrees that the holders of any such Security Devices (in this Lease together referred to as
“Lender”) shall have no liability or obligation to perform any of the obligations of Lessor under
this Lease. Any Lender may elect to have this Lease and/or any

Option granted hereby superior to the lien of its Security Device by giving written notice thereof
to Lessee, whereupon this Lease and such Options shall be deemed prior to such Security Device,
notwithstanding the relative dates of the documentation or recordation thereof.

     30.2 Attornment. Subject to the non-disturbance provisions of Paragraph 30.3, Lessee agrees to
attorm to a Lender or any other party who acquires ownership of the Premises by reason of a
foreclosure of a Security Device, and that in the event of such foreclosure, such new owner shall
not; (a) be liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring
prior to acquisition of ownership; (b) be subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee might
have against any prior lessor, (c) be bound by prepayment of more than one month’s rent, or (d) be
liable for the return of any security deposit paid to any prior lessor.

     30.3 Non-Disturbance. With respect to Security Devices entered into by Lessor after the
execution of this Lease, Lessee’s subordination of this Lease shall be subject to receiving a
commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement (a “Non-Disturbance Agreement") from the Lender
which Non-Disturbance Agreement provides that Lessee’s possession of the Premises, and this Lease,
including any options to extend the term hereof, will not be disturbed so long as Lessee is not in
Breach hereof and attoms to the record owner of the Premises. Further, within 60 days after the
execution of this Lease. Lessor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a
Non-Disturbance Agreement from the holder of any pre-existing Security Device which is secured by
the Premises. In the event that Lessor is unable to provide the Non-Disturbance Agreement within
said 60 days, then Lessee may, at Lessee’s option, directly contact Lender and attempt to negotiate
for the execution and delivery of a Non-Disturbance Agreement.

     30.4 Self-Executing. The agreements contained in this Paragraph 30 shall be effective without
the execution of any further documents: provided, however, that, upon written request from Lessor
or a Lender in connection with a sale, financing or refinancing of the Premises, Lessee and Lessor
shall execute such further writings as may be reasonably required to separately document any
subordination, attornment and/or Non-Disturbance Agreement provided for herein.

31. Attorneys’ Fees. If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding involving the Premises
whether founded in [ILLEGIBLE], contract or equity, or to declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing
Party (as hereafter defined) in any such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled
to reasonable attorneys’ fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a
separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision or judgment. The
term, “Prevailing Party” shall include, without limitation, a Party or Broker who substantially
obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the case may be, whether by compromise, settlement,
judgment, or the abandonment by the other Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The attorneys’
fees award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be such as to
fully reimburse all attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred. In addition, Lessor shall be entitled to
attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in the preparation and service of notices of Default
and consultations in connection therewith, whether or not a legal action is subsequently commenced
in connection with such Default or resulting Breach ($200 is a reasonable minimum per occurrence
for such services and consultation).

32. Lessor’s Access; Showing Premises; Repairs. Lessor and Lessor’s agents shall have the right to
enter the Premises at any time, in the case of an emergency, and otherwise at reasonable times for
the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or tenants, and making such
alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises as Lessor may deem necessary. All
such activities shall be without abatement of rent or liability to Lessee. Lessor may at any time
place on the Premises any ordinary “For Sale” signs and Lessor may during the last 6 months of the
term hereof place on the Premises any ordinary “For Lease” signs. Lessee may at any time place on
the Premises any ordinary “For Sublease” sign.

3. Auctions. Lessee shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, any auction upon the Premises
without Lessor’s prior written consent. Lessor shall not be obligated to exercise any standard of
reasonableness in determining whether to permit an auction.

34. Signs. Except for ordinary “For Sublease” signs which may be placed only on the Premises,
Lessee shall not place any sign upon the Project without Lessor’s prior written consent which
consent shall not be unreasonably withold or denied. All signs must comply with all Applicable Requirements.

35. Termination; Merger. Unless a specifically stated otherwise in writing by Lessor, the voluntary
or other surrender of this Lease by Lessee, the mutual termination or cancellation hereof, or a
termination hereof by Lessor for Breach by Lessee, shall automatically terminate any sublease or
lessor estate in the Premises; provided; however, that Lessor may elect to continue any one or all
existing subtenancies. Lessor’s failure within 10 days following any such event to elect to the
contrary by written notice to the holder of any such lesser Interest shall constitute Lessor’s
election to have such event constitute the termination of such interest.

36. Consents. Except as otherwise provided herein, wherever in this Lease the consent of a Party is
required to an act by or for the other party, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Lessor’s acted reasonable costs and expenses (including but not limited to architects’ ,
attorneys’, engineers’ and other consultants’ fees) incurred in the consideration of or response
to, a request by Lessee for any Lessor consent, including but not limited to consents to an
assignment, a subletting or the presence or use of a Hazardous Substance, shall be paid by Lessee
upon receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation therefor, Lessor’s consent to any act,
assignment or subletting shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no Default or Breach by Lessee
of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Default or
Breach, except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Lessor at the time of such
consent. The failure to specify herein any particular condition to Lessor’s consent shall not
[ILLEGIBLE] the imposition by Lessor at the time of consent of such further or other conditions as
are then reasonable with reference to the particular matter for which consent is being given. In
the even that either Party disagrees with any determination made by the other hereunder and
reasonable requests the reason for such determination, the determining party shall furnish its
reasons in writing and in reasonable detail within 10 business days following such request.

37. Guarantor.

     37.1 Execution. The Guarantors if any, shall each execute a guarantee in the form most
recently published by the American Industrial Real Estate Association, as each such Guarantor shall
have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.

refuses, upon request to provide: (a) evidence of the execution of the guaranty, including the

	 	 	“If Lessee, his invitees, employees, agents or associates cause or allow a spill, or contamination
of the premises, common area, soil or surrounding area, then it will be the responsibility of
Lessee to clean up said hazard to the degree required and within the time frame set by any public
entity which has jurisdiction and particularly in response to the Super Fund Act and Proposition
65.”
	 
	 	 	Lessor is responsible for any hazardous waste violations, occurrences or clean-up required prior to

of the common area operating expenses on the first day of each month along with the monthly rent.
	 
	 	 	Lessor shall have the right to pass through to Lessee increases in the Building Operating Expenses

(72,301 / 172,656 sf) which is 41.9%.
	 
	 	 	For the calculation of the Building Operating Expenses the Base Year shall be 2001. The following

following items over the base year will be prorated and passed through to the Lessee:

	 	•	 	Property taxes (excluding bonds or assessments).
	 
	 	•	 	Building insurance (Lessee is also responsible for increases due to its use and
occupancy of the Building).
	 
	 	•	 	Exterior building Maintenance and Repair, including roof maintenance and repair
(excluding penetrations made by tenant), paint and glazing (excluding insurable events, a
new roof or other capital expenditure required to be performed by Lessor).

	56.	 	RENT ESCALATION
	 
	 	 	(a) On the anniversary date and every 12 months thereafter, the monthly rent payable under
Paragraph 4 of the attached lease shall be adjusted by the increase, if any, from the date
this lease commenced, in the Consumer Price Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
U. S. Department of Labor for all Urban Consumers, San Francisco-Oakland, California
(1982-1984 base period) “All Items”, herein referred to as “C.P.I.”, minimum rent
escalation will be 4% per annum, not to exceed 7% per annum.
	 
	 	 	(b) The monthly rent payable in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Addendum shall be
calculated as follows: the rent payable for the first month of the term of this lease, as
set forth in Paragraph 1.5 of the attached lease, shall be multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the C.P.I. of the calendar month during which the adjustment is
to take effect, and the denominator of which shall be the C.P.I. for the calendar month in
which the original lease term commences. The rent escalation however will be a minimum of
4% per annum not to exceed 7% per annum. The sum so calculated shall constitute the new
monthly rent hereunder, but in no event shall such new monthly rent be less than the rent
payable for the month immediately preceding the date for rent adjustment.

 

 

	 	 	(c) Pending receipt of the required C.P.I. and determination of the actual adjustment, Lessee
shall pay an estimated adjusted rental, as reasonably determined by Lessor by reference to the
then available C.P.I. information. Upon notification of the actual adjustment after
publication of the required C.P.I., any overpayment shall be credited against the next
installment of rent due, and any underpayment shall be immediately due and payable by Lessee.
Lessor’s failure to request payment of an estimated or actual rent adjustment shall not
constitute a waiver of the right to any adjustment provide for in the lease or this addendum.
	 
	 	 	(d) In the event the compilation and/or publication of the C.P.I. shall be transferred to any
other governmental department or bureau or agency or shall be discontinued, then the index
most nearly the same as the C.P.I. shall be used to make such calculation. In the event that
Lessor and Lessee cannot agree on such alternative index, then the matter shall be submitted
for decision to the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the then rules of said
association and the decision of the arbitrators shall be binding upon the parties. The cost of
said Arbitrators shall be paid equally by Lessor and Lessee.
	 
	57.	 	OPTION TO EXTEND
	 
	 	 	Lessor hereby grants to Lessee the option to extend the term of this Lease for two (2) five
(5) year periods each commencing when the prior term expires upon each and all of the
following terms and conditions:
	 
	 	 	(i) Lessee gives to Lessor, and Lessor actually receives, on a date which is prior to the date
that the option period would commence (if exercised) by at least nine (9) months written
notice of the exercise of the option to extend this lease for each said additional term, time
being of the essence. If said notification of the exercise of said option is not so given and
received, this option shall automatically expire;
	 
	 	 	(ii) The provisions of paragraph 39, including the provision relating to default of Lessee set
forth in paragraph 39.4 of this Lease are conditions of this Option;
	 
	 	 	(iii) All of the terms and conditions of this Lease except where specifically modified by this
option shall apply;
	 
	 	 	(iv) The new monthly base rent for each of the option periods shall be calculated as follows:
	 
	 	 	The rent payable by Lessee during the first year of the option period shall be the fair market
rental value of the Premises at the commencement date of the option period. In no event shall
the rent for any option period be less than the rent paid by Lessee during the year
immediately preceding such option period. If Lessor and Lessee cannot agree on the fair market
rental value of the Premises for the extension periods within forty-five (45) days after the
Lessee has notified Lessor of its exercise of the option, Lessor and Lessee shall each select,
within forty-five (45) days of such notification, an appraiser who must be a qualified M.A.I.
appraiser to determine said fair market rental value. If one party fails to so designate an
appraiser within the time required, the determination of fair market rental value of the one
appraiser who has been designated by the other party hereto within the time required shall be
binding upon both parties. The appraisers shall submit their determinations of fair market
rental value to both parties within thirty (30) days after their selection. If the different
between the two determinations is ten percent (10%) or less of the higher appraisal, then the
average between the two determinations shall be the fair market rental value of the Premises.
If said difference is greater than ten percent (10%), then the two appraisers shall within
twenty (20) days of the date that the later submittal is submitted to the parties designate a
third appraiser who must also be a qualified M.A.I. appraiser. The sole responsibility of the
third appraiser will be to determine which of the determinations made by the first appraisers
is most accurate. The third appraiser shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any
modification of either of the determinations made by the first two appraisers. The third
appraiser’s choice shall be submitted to the parties within thirty (30) days after his or her
selection. Such determination shall bind both of the parties and shall establish the fair
market rental value of the Premises. Each party shall pay equal share of the fees and expenses
of the third appraiser.
	 
	 	 	Fair market rental value for purpose of this Lease shall mean the then prevailing rent for
office/warehouse premises comparable in size, quality, and orientation to the demised
Premises, located in buildings with space of comparable in size with approximately 18% office
buildout, and in the general vicinity of, the building which demised Premises are located,

the additional 204 parking spaces, Lessee may use such of Lessor’s parking spaces as Lessor,
in its sole discretion shall allow. However in the event, because of Lessor’s needs or that of
additional tenants of the Building, consent to use by Lessee of Lessor’s parking spaces is
terminated, Lessee, at its sole cost and expense will seek other and additional parking spaces
for its use.
	 
	59.	 	TERMINATION
	 
	 	 	Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease after the sixtieth (60th) month

STANDARD LEASE DISCLOSURE ADDENDUM

Notice to Owners, Buyers and Tenants Regarding Hazardous Wastes or Substances and Underground
Storage Tanks

Comprehensive federal and state laws and regulations have been enacted in the last few years in an
effort to develop controls over the use, storage, handling, cleanup, removal and disposal of
hazardous wastes or substances. Some of these laws and regulations, such as, for example, the
so-called “Super Fund Act”, provide for broad liability schemes wherein an owner, tenant or other
user of the property may be liable for cleanup costs and damages regardless of fault. Other laws
and regulations set standards for the handling of asbestos or establish requirements for the use,
modification, abandonment, or closing of underground storage tanks.

It is not practical or possible to list all such laws and regulations in this Notice. Therefore,
lessors and lessees are urged to consult legal counsel to determine their respective rights and
liabilities with respect to the issues described in this Notice as well as other aspects of the
proposed transaction. If various materials that have been or may be in the future determined to be
toxic, hazardous or undesirable, or are going to be used, stored, handled or disposed of on the
property, or if the property has or may have underground storage tanks for storage of such
hazardous materials, or that such materials may be in the equipment, improvements or soil, it is
essential that legal and technical advice be obtained to determine, among other things, what
permits and approvals have been or may be required, if any, the estimated costs and expenses
associated with the use, storage, handling, cleanup, removal or disposal of the hazardous wastes or
substances and what contractual provisions and protection are necessary or desirable. It may also
be important to obtain expert assistance for site investigations and building inspections. The past
uses of the property may provide valuable information as to the likelihood of hazardous wastes or
substances, or underground storage tanks being on the property.

The term “hazardous wastes or substances” is used in this Notice in its very broadest sense and
includes; but is not limited to, all those listed under Proposition 65, petroleum base products,
paints and solvents, lead, cyanide, DDT, printing inks, acids, pesticides, ammonium compounds,
asbestos, PCBs and other chemical products. Hazardous wastes or substances and underground storage
tanks may be present on all types of real property. This Notice is, therefore, meant to apply to
any transaction involving any type of real property, whether improved or unimproved.

Although Keegan & Coppin Co. , Inc. or its salespeople, will disclose any knowledge it actually
possesses with respect to the existence of hazardous wastes or substances, or underground storage
tanks on the property, Keegan & Coppin Co., Inc. has not made investigations or obtained reports
regarding the subject matter of this Notice, except as may be described in a separate written
document, studies or investigation by experts. Therefore, unless there are additional documents or
studies attached to this notice, lease or contract, this will serve as notification that Keegan &
Coppin Co., Inc. or its salespeople make no representation regarding the existence or non-existence
of hazardous wastes or substances, or underground storage tanks on the property. You should contact
a professional, such as a civil engineer, geologist, industrial hygienist or other person with
experience in these matters to advise you concerning the property.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

On July 26, 1991, the federal legislation known as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was
signed into law by President Bush. The purpose of the ADA is to integrate persons with disabilities
into the economic and social mainstream of American life. Title III of the ADA applies to Lessors
and Lessees of “places of public accommodation” and “commercial facilities”, and requires that
places of public accommodation undertake “readily achievable” removal of communication and access
barriers to the disabled. This requirement of Title III of the ADA is effective January 26, 1992.

It is important that building owners identify and undertake “readily achievable” removal of any
such barriers in the common areas, sidewalks, parking lots and other areas of the building under
their control.

The lessor and lessee are responsible for compliance with ADA relating to removal of barriers
within the workplace i.e., arrangement of interior furnishings and access within the premises, and
any improvements installed by lessor and lessee.

Keegan & Coppin Company, Inc. recommends that both parties seek expert advice regarding the
implications of the Act as it affects this agreement.

Alquist-Priolo:

“The property which is the subject of this contract may be situated in a Special Study Zone as
designated under the Alquist-Priolo Geologic Hazard Act, Sections 2621-2625, inclusive, of the
California Public Resources Code; and, as such, the construction or development on this property of
any structure for human occupancy may be subject to the findings of a geologic report prepared by a
geologist registered in the State of California, unless such report is waived by the City or County
under the terms of that act. No representations on the subject are made by the lessor or agent, and
the lessee should make his own inquiry or investigation”.

Flood Hazard Area Disclosure:

The subject property may be situated in a “Special Flood Hazard Area” as set forth on a Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) “Flood Insurance Rate Map” (FIRM) or “Flood Hazard Boundary Map”
(FHBM). The law provides that, as a condition of obtaining financing on most structures located in
a “Special Floods Hazard Area”, lender requires flood insurance where the property or its
attachments are security for a loan. Lessee should consult with experts concerning the possible
risk of flooding.

LEASING DISCLOSURE REGARDING

REAL ESTATE AGENCY RELATIONSHIP

When you enter into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transaction, you
should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation you wish to
have with the agent in the transaction.

LANDLORD’S AGENT

A Landlord’s agent under a listing agreement with the Landlord acts as the agent for the Landlord.
A Landlord’s agent or a subagent of that agent has the following affirmative obligations:

To the Landlord:

	(a)	 	A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealing with the Landlord.

To the Tenant and the Landlord:

	(a)	 	Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent’s duties.

	(b)	 	A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.

	(c)	 	A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or
desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and
observation of, the parties.

An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtained from the
other party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.

TENANT’S AGENT

A Tenant’s agent can, with a Tenant’s consent, agree to act as agent for the Tenant only. In these
situations, the agent is not the Landlord’s agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive
compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Landlord. An agent acting
only for a Tenant has the following affirmative obligations.

To the Tenant:

	(a)	 	A fuduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in dealings with the Tenant.

To the Tenant and the Landlord:

	(a)	 	Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent’s duties.

	(b)	 	A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith.

	(c)	 	A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or
desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and
observation of, the parties.

An agent is not obligated to reveal to either party any confidential information obtained from the
other party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.

AGENT REPRESENTING BOTH LANDLORD AND TENANT

A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licensees, can legally
be the agent of both the Landlord and the Tenant in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and
consent of both the Tenant.

In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the
Landlord and the Tenant.

	(a)	 	A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honest and loyalty in the dealings with either
Landlord or Tenant.

	(b)	 	Other duties to the Landlord and the Tenants stated above in their assertive sections.

In representing both Landlord and Tenant, the agent may not, without the express permission of the
respective party, disclose to the other party that the Landlord will accept a sent less than the
listed rent or that the Tenant will pay a rent greater than the rent offered.

The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Landlord or Tenant from
the responsibility to protect their own interests. You should carefully read all agreements to
assure that they adequately express your understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a
person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a
competenat professional.

You should read its contents each time it is presented to you, considering the relationship between
you and the real estate agent in your specific transaction.

We acknowledge receipt of a copy of this disclosure.
