Investor's Rights Agreement

 Exhibit 4.1 
 GUIDANCE SOFTWARE, INC. 
 INVESTOR’S RIGHTS AGREEMENT 
 THIS INVESTOR’S RIGHTS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of September 26, 2003 by and between Guidance Software,
Inc., a California Company (the “Company”) and Matthew Healey (the “Purchaser”). 
 The
parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Pre-Emptive Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this
Section 1, the Company hereby grants to the Purchaser pre-emptive rights with respect to future sales by the Company of its Shares (as hereinafter defined) prior to December 31, 2006. Each time that the Company proposes to offer any shares
of, or securities convertible into or exercisable for any shares of, any class of its capital stock (“Shares”), the Company shall first make an offering to the Purchaser so that he has the option to purchase, on a pro rata basis, a
portion of such Shares in accordance with the following provisions: 
 1.1 The Company shall deliver a notice by certified
mail (“Notice”) to the Purchaser stating (a) its bona fide intention to offer such Shares, (b) the number of such Shares to be offered, and (c) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Shares.

 1.2 (a) Within 15 calendar days after delivery of the Notice, the Purchaser may elect to purchase or obtain, at the
price and on the terms specified in the Notice, up to that portion of such Shares which equals the proportion that (i) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company acquired by the Purchaser pursuant to that Common Stock and Warrant
Purchase Agreement dated September 26, 2003, including shares of Common Stock of the Company issued upon conversion of the Warrant purchased thereunder, and including any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 thereof, and shares of Common
Stock received in connection with any stock dividend, stock split or other reclassification thereof (“Purchaser Common Shares”), and then held by the Purchaser, bears to (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible or exercisable securities). 
 (b) Any purchase by the
Purchaser under this Section 1 shall be completed at the same closing as that of any third party purchasers. 
 1.3 The
Company may, during the 45-day period following the expiration of the period provided in subsection 1.2(a) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of the Shares to any person or persons at a price not less than, and upon terms no more
favorable to the offeree than those specified in the Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within 60 days of the execution thereof, the right
provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Shares shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Purchaser in accordance herewith. 
 1.4 The pre-emptive rights in this paragraph 1 shall not be applicable to (i) securities issued pursuant in stock split, dividend, combination or the like, with the approval of the Board,
(ii) securities issuable or issued to employees, consultants or directors of the Company directly or pursuant to a stock option plan or restricted stock plan approved by the 

 
Board of Directors of the Company, (iii) capital stock, or options or warrants to purchase capital stock, issued to financial institutions or lessors in
connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings or similar transactions, the terms of which are approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, (iv) securities issuable upon exercise of warrants outstanding as of the
date hereof, or (v) capital stock or warrants or options to purchase capital stock issued in connection with bona fide acquisitions, mergers or similar transactions, the terms of which are approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

 1.5 The rights of the Purchaser set forth in this Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations)
only to a transferee or assignee of all of the Purchaser Common Shares (unless the transferee or assignee is the spouse, child, grandchild or spouse of such children or grandchildren of the Purchaser, or a trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or
such persons, in which case the rights of the Purchaser set forth in this Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) to a transferee or assignee of less than all of Purchaser’s Common Shares), provided that
(a) the Company is, within a reasonable time prior to such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such rights are being assigned, (b) such
transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, and (c) such transferee is not an actual or potential competitor of the Company, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. 
 2. Registration Rights. The Company and the Purchaser covenant and agree as follows: 
 2.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 2: 
 (a) The terms “register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration
effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or similar document in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration
statement or document; 
 (b) The term “Registrable Securities” means the Purchaser Common Shares;
provided, however, that the foregoing definition shall exclude in all cases (i) any and all Purchaser Common Shares sold by a person in a transaction in which his or her rights under this Agreement are not assigned, and
(ii) any and all Purchaser Common Shares that are available for sale by the Purchaser under Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act during a three (3)-month period without registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Purchaser Common Stock shall only be treated as Registrable Securities if and so long as they have not been (A) sold to or through a broker or dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or a public securities transaction, or (B) sold
in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act under Section 4(1) thereof so that all transfer restrictions, and restrictive legends with respect thereto, if any, are removed upon the
consummation of such sale; 
 (c) The term “Holder” means any person of record owning or having the right to
acquire Registrable Securities or any assignee thereof in accordance with Section 2.8 of this Agreement; 
  

 -2- 

 (d) The term “Form S-3” means such form under the Securities Act as
in effect on the date hereof or any successor form under the Securities Act; 
 (e) The term “SEC” means the
Securities and Exchange Commission; and 
 (f) The term “IPO” means a firm commitment underwritten public
offering by the Company of shares of its Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act. 
 2.2
Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive, at any time after one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the first registration statement (or upon the expiration of applicable underwriters’
lock-ups, if sooner) for a public offering of securities of the Company (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or an SEC
Rule 145 transaction), from any Holder or Holders of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or any similar short-form
registration statement and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will: 
 (a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of
Registrable Securities; and 
 (b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and
compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion
of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 2.2: (i) if Form S-3 or any successor or similar form is not available for such offering by the Holders; (ii) if the
Holders propose to sell Registrable Securities in an amount fewer than 20,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split or other reclassification thereof ); (iii) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a
certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be
effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under
this Section 2.2; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve month period; (iv) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such
request, already a registration on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2; or (v) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to
service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance. 
  

 -3- 

 (c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering
the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. 
 2.3 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable
Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: 
 (a) Prior to the filing of the registration
statement and each amendment thereof (including any documents incorporated by reference in such registration statement) and each amendment or supplement to the prospectus, make available for inspection by the Holders of Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Holders all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, if any, and shall
cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company to make reasonably available for inspection all other relevant information reasonably requested by such Holders in connection therewith, in each case as is customary for similar due
diligence examinations; provided, however, that any information that is designated in writing by the Company, in good faith, as confidential at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by the Holders or any such attorney,
accountant or agent, unless such disclosure is required by law after notice to the Company, or such information becomes available to the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality. 
 (b) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause
such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to one year. 
 (c) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for up to one hundred twenty (120) days.

 (d) Take such action as may be necessary so that (i) any registration statement, and any amendment thereto, and any
prospectus forming a part thereof, and any amendment or supplement thereto (and each report or other document incorporated therein by reference in each case) complies in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the respective rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any registration statement, and any amendment thereto, does not, when it becomes effective, contain and untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any
registration statement, and any amendment or supplement to such prospectus, does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in the light of the circumstance under
which they were made, not misleading. 
  

 -4- 

 (e) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them. 
 (f) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue
Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such states or jurisdictions. 
 (g) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into
and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an
agreement. 
 (h) Advise each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement and, if requested by any
such Holder, confirm such advice in writing: 
 (i) when such registration statement, and any amendment thereto, has been
filed with the SEC and when the registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 
 (ii)
of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; 
 (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; and 
 (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the securities included in
the registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose. 
 (i) Use its
best efforts to prevent the issuance, and, if issued, to obtain the withdrawal, of any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement at the earliest possible time. 
 (j) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, such obligation to continue for the greater of (i) one hundred twenty (120) days and
(ii) if such registration statement has been filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the period such registration statement is effective.

 (l) Provide a transfer agent
and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration. 
 (m) Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be
sold or delivered pursuant to such registration statement free of any restrictive legends and in such permitted denominations and registered in such names as the Holders may request in connection with the sale or delivery of Registrable Securities

as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent
certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders

 (p) Deliver such other customary documents and certificates as may be
reasonably requested by the Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement and the managing underwriters, if any, including those to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement
or other agreement entered into by the Company.

Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities. The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any registration
requested pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement if, as a result of the application of the preceding sentence, the number of shares of the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration does not equal or exceed the number of
shares required to originally trigger the Company’s obligation to initiate such registration as specified in subsection 2.2(b)(ii). 
  

 -6- 

 2.5 Expenses of Registration. All expenses incurred in connection with the
first three registrations requested pursuant to Section 2.2, including (without limitation) all registration, filing, qualification, printers’ and accounting fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling
Holder or Holders selected by them with the approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the Company. 
 2.6 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying
any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2. 
 2.7 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2: 
 (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members officers and directors
of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act, against any losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”) by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration
statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will pay to each such Holder, partner, member, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
subsection 2.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor
shall the Company be liable to any Holder, partner, member, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, partner, member officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder. 
 (b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities
as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any 

  

 -7- 

 
underwriter, any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder,
against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such
Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 2.7(b), in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that in no event shall any indemnity under this
subsection 2.7(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder. 
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.7, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together
with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such
indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure
to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
indemnified party under this Section 2.7, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.7.

 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other
in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall (i) any contribution by a Holder under this
Subsection 2.7(d) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder and (ii) any person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) be entitled to contribution. The relative fault 

  

 -8- 

 
of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 (e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this
Section 2.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 2, and the termination of this agreement. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or
litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified
Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. 
 2.8 Assignment of Registration
Rights. The rights of the Purchaser set forth in this Section 2 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) only to a transferee or assignee of all of the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities (unless the transferee or
assignee is the spouse, child, grandchild or spouse of such children or grandchildren of the Purchaser, or a trust for the benefit of the Purchaser or such persons, in which case the rights of the Purchaser set forth in this Section 2 may be
assigned (but only with all related obligations) to a transferee or assignee of less than all of Purchaser’s Registrable Securities), provided that (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time prior to such transfer, furnished with written
notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such rights are being assigned, (b) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, and (c) such
transferee is not an actual or potential competitor of the Company, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors. 
 2.9 Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any registration right provided for in this Section 2 after two years following the consummation of an IPO.

 3. Termination Events. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of any one of the following events:

 3.1 The liquidation, dissolution or indefinite cessation of the business operations of the Company. 
 3.2 The execution by the Company of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or the appointment of a receiver or trustee to take
possession of the property and assets of the Company. 
 3.3 A firm commitment underwritten public offering by the Company of
shares of its Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act; provided, however, that only Section 1 of this Agreement will terminate upon such event. 
 3.4 The sale, conveyance, disposal, or encumbrance of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or business or the
Company’s merger into or consolidation with any other Company (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary Company) or if the Company effects any other transaction or series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the

 PRINCIPAL LEASE PROVISIONS 
 This Lease is made this 1st day of April 2003 by and between The Walnut Plaza, a limited partnership, herein called “Landlord” and
Guidance Software, Inc., herein after called “Tenant”. It is a complete restatement of and supersedes the Lease between the Parties, dated January 30, 2003. 
 The Walnut Plaza, as Landlord, has subdivided its Lease document into two parts called “Principal Lease Provisions” and “Standard Lease
Provisions”. Both documents, and the exhibits related thereto, form the “Lease” for office space in a building commonly known as The Walnut Plaza. A copy of the Standard Lease Provisions is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference. Where the same issues are addressed in both documents, the language of the Principal Lease Provisions shall control the interpretation of the documents. 
 THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows: 
 1. Demise and Description of Property. 

Landlord does hereby lease to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, on and subject to the terms, conditions, and covenants hereinafter set
forth, a portion of the property designated in red on Exhibit “A-1” (Second Floor), “A-2” (First Floor) and “A-3” (Ground Floor) hereto and, hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”, located in Los Angeles
County, California, commonly known as The Walnut Plaza and more specifically described as follows: 215 North Marengo Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91101, Suites A-I, A-2 and A-3. The Rentable Square Feet (“RSF”) allocated to tenant is 27,606,
broken down as follows: 21,851 on the Second Floor; 4,734 on the First Floor; and 1,021 on the Ground Floor. This provision concerning rentable square footage is an agreement between the Parties and not a representation or warranty. 

Tenant shall be entitled to utilize the areas of the Second Floor designated on Exhibit “A-1” as mail room, lobby and kitchen in conjunction
with other tenants of the Building and subject to Rules, Regulations and Procedures established by the Landlord. Tenant’s proportionate share of the rent for said shared space is included in the Base Rent established in Paragraph 3(A) below,
and Tenant’s proportionate share of the Rentable Square Feet for said space has been included in the RSF set forth above in this Paragraph 1. 
 2. Term. 
 Initial Term. The term of this Lease shall be for a period of ten (10) years,
commencing sixty (60) days after the tenant improvements provided for herein have been designated as substantially completed by the project architect. Landlord will make its best efforts to do everything reasonable to deliver possession of the
Premises in a substantially completed condition on or before May 1, 2003.

according to the actual time period covered by the Lease. Tenant shall be entitled to a rental concession of $6,901.50 per month for the first five (5) and the seventh (7th) months of the Initial Term because it is anticipated that it will

 The leased
Premises shall be used by Tenant for general business purposes and Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose. 
 6. Obligations of Tenant. 
 A. Tenant hereby expressly assumes and agrees to perform all the obligations and
covenants required by the Lease (including, by way of example and not of limitation, the obligations to pay rent, to abide by the Rules, Regulations and Procedures, to make repairs, to obtain insurance, to use the building only for certain purposes,

Procedures concerning the Building and the Premises. Tenant agrees to abide by any such Rules, Regulations and Procedures, the current version of which are attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 A. No Default. Tenant is not in default of any provisions of the Lease; 
  

 3 

 B. Location of Expansion Space. The option(s) to expand shall extend to the areas
(“the Expansion Space”) on the Ground, First and Third Floors of the Building specified on Exhibits “B-1”, “B-2” and “B-3”. The option(s) must be exercised on the entire individual area shown on the Exhibits
by a number and/or the direction of the cross-hatching; e.g., No. 151, No. 160, No. 105, etc. 19a and 19b must be exercised as one option on one area; 
 C. Notice and Exercise of Option(s). This right shall extend only to the portions of the Expansion Space that are unoccupied at the
commencement of the Initial Term of the Lease or that become available as a result of tenants moving out of their space or the expiration of their current lease terms. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing at such time, or times, as it becomes
aware that any of the Expansion Space will become available. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its intent to exercise its option on that portion of the Expansion Space within thirty (30) days of notice by Landlord. If not exercised by
that date, Tenant’s option on that portion of the Expansion Space shall lapse and be of no further force or effect, unless that space again becomes available as a result of the tenant moving out of their space or the expiration of their
then-current lease term. Any such notice may not be withdrawn once given by Tenant; 
 D. Term. If the Term of the Expansion
Space commences on or before January 1, 2008, the Initial Term of the Lease shall remain as stated in paragraph 2. If the Term for any of the Expansion Space commences subsequent to January 1, 2008, the Initial Term in paragraph 2 of the
Lease shall be extended so that the Term of the Lease shall end five (5) years after the commencement of the Term for the latest Expansion Space (“the Expansion Term”). The Term for Expansion Space shall commence as soon as the space
is available for occupancy by Tenant;

	 	2.	The Base Rate established pursuant to paragraphs 3.A. and C. (without any concessions) plus plus an additional amount equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index as defined in
paragraph 5.b. of the Standard Lease Provisions from the date of substantial completion of the Initial Premises to the date of commencement of the Expansion Term, if the Term for the Expansion Space commences subsequent to January 1, 2008. In
no event shall the increase based upon the CPI be less than three percent (3%) per year nor more than seven percent (7%) per year. This rate shall apply to the Expansion Space portion of the Premises only. 

 The concept is that the Base Rate is $2.15 per rentable square foot plus increases in COL and operating expenses subsequent to substantial
completion of the Initial Premises; 
  

 4 

 F. Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall provide Twenty Dollars ($20.00) per Rentable
Square Foot for Tenant Improvements to Expansion Space, when the Term remaining on the Expansion Space is eighty four (84) months or more. Otherwise, the Tenant Improvements allowance on the Expansion Space shall be equal to the remaining

stated rental rates (without any adjustments for free rent, Tenant Improvement allowances or other Landlord concessions) of space in comparable office buildings; e.g., 199 South Los Robles, Plaza Las Fuentes, 301 North Lake Avenue and similar
buildings shall be considered comparable office buildings in determining fair market value; 
 E. Landlord shall provide a
Tenant Improvement allowance equal to Ten Dollars ($10.00) per Rentable Square Foot for each option period; and 
 F. All
other provisions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

 11. Commission. 
 Landlord will pay a commission to Cushman & Wakefield of California, Inc. (Broker for Tenant) in the amount of $175,000,00. This is a one time fee for all occupancy of Tenant at The Walnut Plaza including,

 13. Option to Terminate. 
 Tenant shall have a one time option to terminate the portion of this Lease covering the Initial Premises of 27,383 rentable square feet (“the Initial Premises”) on the following terms and conditions:

 A. On or before the last day of the seventy second (72nd) month of the Initial Term, Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of its intent to exercise this option; and 
 B. Tenant delivers to Landlord the following payments concurrent with the delivery of its notice of intent to terminate the Lease: Four
and one-half (4 1/2) months of Base Rent for months 85, 86, 87, 88 and 89 of the Initial Term and the unamortized portions of any Tenant Improvements and leasing commissions incurred by Landlord under this Lease. 
 The portion of the Lease covering the Initial Premises shall terminate on the last day of the 84th month following delivery of the notice and payment as set forth in paragraph 13A and B. The balance of the Lease covering the Expansion Space shall remain in
full force and effect. In the event Tenant exercises its option under paragraph 13, Landlord shall employ all best efforts to lease any Expansion Space to new tenants, including existing building tenants seeking additional space. Landlord’s
best efforts to place new tenants into the Expansion Space will include placing those tenants into such Expansion Space, if at all possible, even though other suitable space may exist in the building.

 15. Access to Electrical and Telephone Room. 
 Landlord has approved Tenant’s space plan which indicates that the only access to the Electrical and Phone Room (“the room”) by the center stairway on the second floor will be through Tenant’s
Premises, including a kitchen. Said plan necessitates an amendment to the Lease which will expand Tenant’s Premises and “landlock” the Electrical and Telephone Room. In consideration for said amendment, Tenant hereby grants to
Landlord and its agents a right of access to the room at all times without the requirement of advance notice.

 STANDARD LEASE PROVISIONS 
 SHARED SERVICES 
 The Lease is subject to the terms, covenants and
conditions herein set forth and the Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of said terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the
condition of said performance. 
  

	 	1.	GENERAL PROVISIONS. 

  

	 	a.	Plats and Riders. 

 Clauses, plats and riders, if
any, signed by the Landlord and the Tenant and endorsed on or affixed to this Lease are a part hereof. 
  

	 	b.	Waiver. 

 The Waiver by Landlord of any term,
covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition on any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder
by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of the Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge
of such preceding breach at the time of the acceptance of such rent. 
  

	 	c.	Notices. 

 All notices and demands which may or are
to be required or permitted to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing. All notices and demands by the Landlord to the Tenant shall either be sent by United States Mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Tenant at the
Premises, or to such other place as Tenant may from time to time designate in a notice to the Landlord or hand delivered to the Tenant. All notices and demands by the Tenant to the Landlord shall be sent by United States Mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Landlord at the Office of the Building, or to such other person or place as the Landlord may from time to time designate in a notice to the Tenant. 
  

	 	d.	Joint Obligation. 

 If there is more than one
Tenant, the obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenants shall be joint and several. 
  

	 	e.	Marginal Headings. 

 The marginal headings and
Article titles to the Articles of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof. 
  

 -1- 

	 	f.	Time. 

 Time is of the essence in this Lease in each
and all of its provisions in which performance is a factor. 
  

	 	g.	Successors and Assigns. 

 The covenants and
conditions herein contained, subject to the provisions as to assignment, apply to and bind the heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto. 
  

	 	h.	Recordation. 

 Tenant shall not record this Lease or
a short form memorandum hereof without the prior written consent of Landlord. 
  

	 	i.	Quiet Possession. 

 Upon Tenant paying the rent
reserved hereunder and observing and performing all of the covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Premises for the entire term hereof, subject to
all the provisions of this lease. 
  

	 	j.	Late Payment Charges. 

 Tenant acknowledges that
late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rental and other charges provided for under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult or impracticable to fix. Such
costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance and notes secured by any encumbrance covering the Premises, or late charges and penalties due
to late payment of real property taxes due on the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of rental or any other charge due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord of nonpayment, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to the greater of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) or five percent (5 %) of the amount overdue as a late charge for every month or portion thereof that the rental or other charges remain unpaid. The parties
agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s default
with respect to the overdue amount, and shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord for any other breach of Tenant under this Lease. 
  

	 	k.	Prior Agreements. 

 This Lease contains all of the
agreements of the parties hereto with respect to any matter covered or mentioned in this Lease, and no prior agreements or understandings pertaining to any such matters shall be effective for any purpose. No provision of this Lease may be amended or
added to except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest. This Lease shall not be effective or binding on any party until fully executed by both parties hereto. 
  

 -2- 

	 	l.	Inability to Perform. 

 This Lease and the
obligations of the Tenant hereunder shall not be affected or impaired because the Landlord is unable to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if such inability or delay is caused by reason of strike, labor troubles,
acts of God, or any other causes beyond the reasonable control of the Landlord. 
  

	 	m.	Attorney’s Fees. 

 In the event that resort to
legal services are required to enforce any provisions of this Lease or any action or proceeding is brought by either party against the other under this Lease, the non-defaulting prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses
including the fees of its attorneys. 
  

	 	n.	Sale of Premises by Landlord. 

 In the event of any
sale of the building, Landlord shall be and is hereby entirely freed and relieved of all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring
after the consummation of such sale; and the purchaser, at such sale or any subsequent sale of the Premises shall be deemed, without any further agreement between the parties or their successors in interest or between the parties and any such
purchaser, to have assumed and agreed to carry out any and all of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord under this Lease. 
  

	 	o.	Subordination Agreement. 

 The rights of Tenant
under this Lease are and shall be, at the option of any mortgagee or beneficiary of a deed of trust with respect to the property (“Mortgagee”) which is subject to this Lease, either subordinate or superior to the deed of trust or mortgage
of such Mortgagee; provided, however, that if such Mortgagee shall elect to treat this Lease as subordinate, Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises pursuant to this Lease shall remain in effect for the full term of the Lease provided that Tenant
timely complies with its obligations under the terms of this Lease. To further assure the foregoing subordination, Tenant shall, upon Mortgagee’s request, execute an instrument (including a subordination agreement or attornment agreement)
evidencing of record tenant’s agreements regarding subordination as set forth herein, and as reasonably requested by Mortgagee. 
 In
connection with such subordination, Tenant hereby agrees that if a Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord by reason of any foreclosure of the Mortgage or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by any other manner, Mortgagee
or such other purchaser shall not be (1) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor (including Lessor); (2) obligated to cure any defaults of any prior lessor (including Lessor) under the Lease which occurred prior to the time that
Mortgagee or such other purchaser succeeded to the interest of Lessor in the Property; (3) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may be entitled to assert against any prior lessor (including Lessor); (4) bound by any payment of
rent or additional rent by Tenant to any prior lessor (including Lessor) for more than two (2) months in advance; (5) liable or responsible for or with respect to the retention, application and/or return to Tenant of any security

deposit paid to any prior lessor (including Lessor) unless and until Mortgagee or such other purchaser has actually received for its own account as lessor
the full amount of such security deposit; (6) liable to Tenant or its respective successors or assigns for any damages, monetary judgments, or other judicial, quasi-judicial, arbitration, administrative or other awards arising out of or in
connection with ownership of the Property by Mortgagee or such other purchaser, in excess of the value of Mortgagee’s or such other purchaser’s interest in the Property (it being understood that no other property or assets of Mortgagee or
its successors or assigns shall be subject to the levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of any claim, award, judgment, injunction or decree, and that in no event shall Beneficiary or its successors or assigns be
responsible for any consequential damages incurred by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, invitees, successors or assigns); (7) bound by any right of Tenant under the Lease to terminate the Lease, except in the event of damage or
destruction and/or eminent domain; or (8) bound by any right of Tenant under the Lease to purchase any interest in the Property; and provided finally that the Lease shall be subject to the rights of Mortgagee under the applicable deed of trust
or mortgage with respect to insurance and condemnation proceeds relating to the Property. Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that Mortgagees shall be deemed third party beneficiaries of this provision. 
 Landlord agrees to exhaust all reasonable efforts to secure a Subordination Non-Disturbance Agreement from Landlord’s current and any future
mortgages in a form acceptable to Tenant (whose terms and conditions must be reasonable). 
  

	 	p.	Name. 

 Tenant shall not use the name of the
Building or of the development in which the Building is situated for any purpose other than as an address of the business to be conducted by the Tenant in the Premises. 
  

	 	q.	Separability. 

 Any provision of this Lease which
shall prove to be invalid, void or illegal shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provision hereof and such other provision shall remain in full force and effect. 
  

	 	r.	Cumulative Remedies. 

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

	 	s.	Choice of Law. 

 This Lease shall be governed by the
laws of the State in which the Premises are located. 
  

	 	t.	Signs and Auctions. 

 Tenant shall be entitled to
place signs upon the Premises or Building as provided in the Principal Lease Provisions.

	 	u.	Surrender of the Premises. 

 Upon the expiration of
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in its condition existing as interior walls in good repair and repainted if marked, all carpets shampooed and cleaned, the equipment, plumbing, electrical and other
mechanical installations in good operating order, and all floors cleaned, all to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant shall remove from the Premises all of Tenant’s alterations which Landlord requires Tenant to remove pursuant to
paragraph 10 and all of Tenant’s personal property, and shall repair any damage and perform any restoration work caused by such removal; provided, however, if Tenant is then in default, Tenant shall not be entitled to remove Tenant’s
personal property except as specified by written notice delivered by Landlord to Tenant. If Tenant fails to remove such alterations and Tenant’s personal property which Tenant is authorized and obligated to remove pursuant to the above, and
such failure continues after the termination of this Lease, Landlord may retain such property and all rights of Tenant with respect to it shall cease, or Landlord may place all or any portion of such property in public storage for Tenant’s
account. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, the costs of removal of any such alterations and Tenant’s personal property and storage and transportation costs of same, and the cost of repairing and restoring the Premises, together with
attorneys’ fees and interest on said amounts at the interest rate specified in paragraph 24 from the date of expenditure by Landlord. If the Premises are not so surrendered at the termination of this Lease, Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify
Landlord and its agents against all loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant, losses to Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease to
succeeding tenants, and actual attorneys’ fees and costs. 
  

	 	2.	USE. 

 Tenant shall use the Premises for general
office purposes and shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord.

its contents, or cause cancellation of any insurance policy covering said Building or any part thereof or any of its contents. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere

by the act, neglect, fault or omission of any duty by the Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or invitees, in which case Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable cost of such maintenance and repairs. Landlord shall not be liable for any
failure to make any such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. Landlord shall in no event be
liable for any injury or for any damage or interference with Tenant’s business, or for any consequential damage of any nature whatsoever arising out of Landlord’s failure to make required repairs, and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an
abatement or partial abatement of rent as appropriate for the period representing the time during which Landlord’s failure to have made repairs was unreasonable. Except as provided in paragraph 17 hereof, there shall be no abatement of rent for
any injury, or for any damage or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the 

  

 -7- 

 
making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment
therein. Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under any law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. 
  

	 	7.	ADDITIONAL RENT (OPERATING EXPENSE). 

 If the total
reasonable expense of operation and maintenance (hereinafter “Expense”) of the Building, of which the Premises are a part, adjusted to full occupancy as defined herein (hereinafter “Adjusted Expense”), is in excess of $9.91
(estimated 2003 expense; calculated at 3% increase over 2001 expenses for 2002 plus 2% increase for 2003) per gross square foot (88,563 gross square feet in the Building), then the Tenant shall pay as additional rental a percentage of such
excess Adjusted Expense equal to the excess Adjusted Expense times a fraction, the numerator of which is the gross square footage rented by the Tenant and the denominator of which is the total gross square footage in the Building (88,563). Expense
as used in this paragraph means all costs of operation and maintenance of the Building and shall include but not be limited to all of the variable and fixed expenses listed and categorized as follows: (1) Variable - Bank charges,
building supplies, janitorial, a management fee of four percent (4%) of the rent and all expenses related to the operation of the building and its services, management salaries, office supplies, postage and freight, print and photocopy, repairs
and maintenance, telephone (50%), utilities (80%); and (2) Fixed - Fire alarm, insurance, landscape maintenance, maintenance agreements, property tax (ad valorem), security, telephone (50%), and utilities (20%). Expense shall not include
depreciation on the Building adjusted to full occupancy. In calculating the adjustment, the Expense listed as fixed will be assumed not to vary with occupancy of the Building and Expense listed as variable will be assumed to vary in direct
proportion to the number of occupied square feet in the Building. For purposes of adjusting expenses to full occupancy only, occupancy or occupied as used in this Lease means physically occupied and does not include space which is leased but vacant.

 During each month, the Tenant shall pay one-twelfth (1/12th) of the excess Adjusted Expense for the previous calendar year as an estimate
of the total additional rent which is required to be paid for the current calendar year under this paragraph 7. As soon as the Landlord determines the amount of the excess Adjusted Expense for a calendar year, the Tenant will be notified. If the
amount of the estimated payments made by the Tenant is less than the actual excess Adjusted Expense, then the difference shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord as additional rental upon receipt by Tenant of a statement showing the amount due.
If the amount of the estimated payments is more than the actual excess Adjusted Expense, then the difference shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant as a refund of rent previously paid. 
 Even though the term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made by the Tenant’s share of the excess
Adjusted Expense for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay any portion of such share of the excess 

  

 -8- 

 
Adjusted Expense not already paid as a part of the estimated Adjusted Expense and any overpayment shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant. 
 Tenant shall have the right upon reasonable written notice to audit all expenses charged pursuant to this paragraph 7. 
  

	 	8.	FREEDOM FROM LIENS. 

 Tenant shall keep the Premises
and the property in which the Premises are situated free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. Landlord may require, at Landlord’s sole option, that Tenant shall provide to
Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a lien and completion bond in an amount equal to one and one-half (1-1/2) times any and all estimated cost of any improvements, additions, or alterations in the Premises, to insure Landlord against
any liability for mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and to insure completion of the work. 
  

	 	9.	ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. 

 Tenant shall not either
voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the said Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer
any other person (the employees, agents, servants and invitees of Tenant excepted) to occupy or use the said Premises, or any portion thereof, without the written consent of Landlord first had and obtained, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Consent to one assignment, subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, occupation or use by another person. Any such assignment or subletting
without such consent shall be void, and shall, at the option of the Landlord, constitute a default under this Lease. 
 Tenant acknowledges
that a material purpose for the formation of The Walnut Plaza, a Limited Partnership was to permit the Partners thereof to exercise control over the identity of their co-tenants in such a manner so as to create an exceptional working environment and
series of business relationships. 
  

	 	10.	HOLD HARMLESS. 

 Tenant shall indemnify and hold
harmless Landlord against and from any and all claims arising from Tenant’s use of the Premises for the conduct of its business or from any activity, work, or other thing done, permitted or suffered by the Tenant in or about the Building, and
shall further indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from any
act or negligence of the Tenant, or any officer, agent, employee, guest, or invitee of Tenant, and from all and against all cost, attorney’s fees, expenses 

  

 -9- 

 
and liabilities incurred in or about any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon, and, in any case, action or proceeding brought against
Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant as a material part of the consideration to Landlord hereby assumes all risk
of damage to property or injury to persons, in, upon or about the Premises, from any cause other than Landlord’s negligence, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord. 
 Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for any damages to property entrusted to employees of the Building, nor for loss or damage to any property by
theft or otherwise, nor for any injury to or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any of the Building or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing
works therein or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other place resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever, unless caused by or due to the negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees. Landlord or its agents
shall not be liable for interference with the light or other incorporeal hereditaments or loss of business by Tenant, nor shall Landlord be liable for any latent defect in the Premises or in the Building. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord
in case of fire or accidents in the Premises or in the Building or of defects therein or in the fixtures or equipment. 
  

	 	11.	SUBROGATION. 

 Tenant hereby waives its rights of
recovery against Landlord for any loss insured by fire, extended coverage and other property insurance policies existing for the benefit of the Tenant. Tenant shall obtain any special endorsements, if required by its insurer to evidence compliance
with the aforementioned waiver. 
  

	 	12.	LIABILITY INSURANCE. 

 Tenant shall, at
Tenant’s expense, obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of comprehensive public liability insurance insuring Landlord and Tenant against any liability arising out of the ownership, use, occupancy or maintenance of the
Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. The limit of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of the Tenant hereunder. Tenant may carry said insurance under a blanket policy, providing, however, said insurance by Tenant shall have
a Landlord’s protective liability endorsement attached thereto. If Tenant shall fail to produce and maintain said insurance, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain same, but at the expense of Tenant. Insurance required
hereunder shall be in companies rated A+, AAA or better in “Best’s Insurance Guide”. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord prior to occupancy of the Premises copies of policies of liability insurance required herein or certificates
evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with loss payable clauses satisfactory to Landlord. Failure of Tenant to deliver such certificate 

  

 -10- 

 
shall not waive Tenant’s obligation hereunder. No policy shall be cancellable or subject to reduction of coverage except after twenty (20) days
prior written notice to Landlord. 
  

	 	13.	SERVICES AND UTILITIES. 

 Provided that Tenant is
not in default hereunder, Landlord agrees to furnish to the Premises during reasonable hours of generally recognized business days, to be determined by Landlord at his sole discretion, and subject to the Rules, Regulations and Procedures of the
Building of which the Premises are a part, electricity for normal lighting and fractional horsepower office machines, heat and air conditioning required in Landlord’s judgment for the comfortable use and occupation of the Premises, and
janitorial service. Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant shall not be entitled to, any reduction of rental by reason of Landlord’s failure to furnish any of the foregoing when such failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs,
strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any character, or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss or injury,
however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to failure to furnish any of the foregoing. Wherever heat generating machines or equipment are used in the Premises which affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air
conditioning system, Landlord reserves the right to install supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises and the cost thereof, including the cost of installation, and the cost of operation and maintenance thereof shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord upon demand by Landlord. 
 Tenant will not, without written consent of Landlord, use any apparatus or device in the Premises,
including, but without limitation thereto, electronic data processing machines, punch card machines, and machines using in excess of 120 volts, which will in any way increase the amount of electricity usually furnished or supplied for the use of the
Premises as general office space; nor connect with electric current except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises, any apparatus or device, for the purpose of using electric current. If Tenant shall require water or electric current in
excess of that usually furnished or supplied for the use of the Premises as general office space, Tenant shall first procure the written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may refuse, to the use thereof and Landlord may cause a water meter or
electrical current meter to be installed in the Premises, so as to measure the amount of water and electric current consumed for any such use. The cost of any such meters and of installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid for by the
Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord promptly upon demand therefor by Landlord for all such water and electric current consumed as shown by said meters, at the rates charged for such services by the local public utility furnishing the same,
plus any additional expense incurred in keeping account of the water and electric current so consumed. If a separate meter is not installed, such excess cost for such water and electric current will be reasonably estimated by Landlord, and paid by
Tenant.

paid, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed and which become payable during the term hereof upon all Tenant’s leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, fixtures and personal property shall be assessed and taxed with the
Building, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its share of such taxes within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant by Landlord of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes applicable to Tenant’s property. 
  

	 	15.	RULES, REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES. 

 Tenant shall
faithfully observe and comply with the Rules, Regulations & Procedures that Landlord shall from time to time promulgate. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make all reasonable modifications to said rules. The additions and
modifications to those rules shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the non-performance of any said rules by any other tenants or occupants. 
  

	 	16.	ENTRY BY LANDLORD. 

 Landlord reserves and shall at
any and all times have the right to enter the Premises, inspect the same, supply janitorial service and any other service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to submit said Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants, to post notices
of nonresponsibility, and to alter, improve or repair the Premises and any portion of the Building of which the Premises are a part that Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, without abatement of rent and may for that purpose erect scaffolding
and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, always providing that the entrance to the Premises shall not be blocked thereby, and further providing that the business of the Tenant shall not
be interfered with unreasonably. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned
thereby. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and files, and Landlord shall have the right
to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to the Premises without liability to Tenant except for any failure to exercise due care for Tenant’s property. Any entry to the
Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any
portion thereof. 
  

 -12- 

	 	17.	RECONSTRUCTION. 

 In the event the Premises or the
Building of which the Premises are a part are damaged by fire or other perils covered by extended coverage insurance, Landlord agrees to forthwith repair the same; and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that Tenant shall be
entitled to a proportionate reduction of the rent while such repairs are being made, such proportionate reduction to be based upon the extent to which the making of such repairs shall materially interfere with the business carried on by the Tenant
in the Premises. If the damage is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, there shall be no abatement of rent. 
 In the
event the Premises or the Building of which the Premises are a part are damaged as a result of any cause other than the perils covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, then Landlord shall forthwith repair the same, provided the extent of the
destruction be less than ten percent (10%) of the then full replacement cost of the Premises or the Building of which the Premises are a part. In the event the destruction of the Premises or the Building is to be an extent greater than ten
percent (10%) of the full replacement cost, then Landlord shall have the option: (1) to repair or restore such damage, this Lease continuing in full force and effect, but the rent to be proportionately reduced as hereinabove in this
Article provided; or (2) give notice to Tenant at any time within sixty (60) days after such damage terminating this Lease as of the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) and no more than sixty
(60) days after the giving of such notice. In the event of giving such notice, this Lease shall expire and all interest of the Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on the date so specified in such notice and the Rent, reduced by a
proportionate amount, based upon the extent, if any to which such damage materially interfered with the business carried on by the Tenant in the Premises, shall be paid up to date of said such termination. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore
the Premises when the damage resulting from any casualty covered under this Article occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof. 
 Landlord shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or other cause, or to make any repairs or replacements of any panels, decoration,
office fixtures, railings, floor covering, partitions, or any other property installed in the Premises by Tenant. 
 The Tenant shall not be
entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the premises, Tenant’s personal property or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration.

  

 -13- 

	 	18.	DEFAULT. 

 The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant. 
 a. The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by
Tenant unless Tenant continues to honor all of its obligations under this Lease when due. 
 b. The failure by Tenant to make any payment of
rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant. 
 c. The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by the Tenant,
other than described in Article 18.b above, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default 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 such cure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.

 d. The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; or the filing by or against Tenant
of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt, or a petition or 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); or the
appointment of a trustee or a receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or
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 such seizure is not discharged in thirty (30) days. 
  

	 	19.	REMEDIES IN DEFAULT. 

 Upon a default, Landlord
shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law in equity or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively or in the alternative: (i) Landlord may continue this Lease
in full force and effect, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate this Lease, and Landlord shall have the right to collect rental when due; (ii) Landlord may, with or without terminating
this Lease, re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises, such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. No re-entry or taking possession of the
Premises by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant; (iii) Landlord may terminate 

  

 -14- 

 
Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time by giving written notice to that effect, and relet the premises or any part thereof. Tenant
shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises or any part thereof, including, without limitation, brokers’ commissions, expenses of cleaning, redecorating, and further improving the Premises and
like costs. Reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease. No act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the
appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s initiative to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession. Upon termination, Landlord shall have the right to remove all of
Tenant’s personal property and store same at Tenant’s cost and to recover from Tenant as damages: (a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rental and other sums due and payable which had been earned at the time of termination;
plus (b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rental and other sums which would have been payable after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been
reasonably avoided; plus (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rental and other sums due for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be
reasonably avoided; plus (d) any other amounts to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be
likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord; (i) in retaking possession of the Premises; (ii) in maintaining, repairing, preserving, restoring, replacing, cleaning, altering or
rehabilitating the Premises or any portion thereof, including such acts for reletting to a new tenant or tenants; (iii) for leasing commissions; or (iv) for any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; plus (e) at
Landlord’s election, such other amounts and remedies in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of California. 
 The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in subparagraphs 19(a) and 19(b) above is computed by allowing interest at the
interest rate specified below on the unpaid rental and other sums due and payable from the termination date through the date of award. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in subparagraph 19(c) is computed by
discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Tenant waives redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179,
or under any other present or future law, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default of Tenant hereunder. The interest rate under the Lease shall mean the greater of ten percent
(10%) per annum or five percent (5%) in excess of the discount rates of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco in effect on the twenty-fifth (25th) day of the calendar month immediately prior to the event giving rise to the
interest rate imposition.

and all income, rent, award, or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with such public or quasi-public use or purpose, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of this
Lease. If either less than or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is taken, and neither party elects to terminate as herein provided, the rental thereafter to be paid shall be equitably reduced. If any part of the Building other
than the Premises may be so taken or appropriated, Landlord shall have the right at its option to terminate this Lease and shall be entitled to the entire award as above provided. 
  

	 	21.	OFFSET STATEMENT.

from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing, (a) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if

	1/1/13  	  	=	  	$	126,447.00”

 Paragraph 8.F. Expansion Options shall be amended to add the following language and shall read as follows:

 “F. Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall provide Twenty Dollars ($20.00) per Rentable Square Foot for Tenant Improvements to Expansion
Space, when the Term remaining on the Expansion Space is eighty four (84) months or more. Otherwise, the Tenant Improvements allowance on the Expansion Space shall be equal to the remaining months of the Term divided by eighty four
(84) times Twenty Dollars ($20.00) per Rentable Square Foot. This allowance shall be implemented pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in paragraph 4 of the Standard Lease Provisions. The Tenant Improvements related to the Premises
on the Third Floor and described in Exhibit “A-6” have been completed as of the date of the Third 

  

 3 

 Amendment to the Restated Lease and Landlord has no obligation to provide any additional Tenant
Improvement allowance related to that space. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth above in this Paragraph 8.F., Landlord shall provide $20 per Rentable Square Foot for Tenant Improvements for a new tenant for the Relet Premises addressed in
Paragraph 16. below.” 
 Paragraph 16. Agreement re. Reletting of First Floor Space as described on Exhibit “A-7” shall be added to
the Principal Lease Provisions and shall read as follows: 
  

	 	“16.	Agreement re. Reletting of First Floor Space as described on Exhibit A-7”. 

 The parties have agreed that Landlord will use its best efforts to relet the portion of the Premises described on Exhibit “A-7” (“the Relet Premises”) as soon as possible. In that regard, Landlord
has listed said Premises with CBRE for that purpose at an asking rent of $2.65 per rentable square foot with a tenant improvement allowance of Twenty Dollars ($20.00) per Rentable Square Foot. Tenant hereby confirms that it has approved that listing
arrangement. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses related to the reletting of the Relet Premises. Any proposed tenant and the terms and conditions of any proposed lease for the Relet Premises shall be subject to the prior, written
approval of both Landlord and Tenant. 
 If the Relet Premises are not successfully relet to a third party prior to July 31, 2010, the
Initial Term of this Lease related to the Relet Premises (Exhibit “A-7”) shall terminate effective July 31, 2010. If a fully executed lease has been entered into with a new tenant for the Relet Premises (“the New Lease”) and
the new tenant takes occupancy of the Relet Premises prior to July 31, 2010, then the Initial Term of this Lease related to the Relet Premises (Exhibit “A-7”) shall terminate on the day rent commences on the New Lease. 
 If the New Lease provides that Landlord will receive more rent (“Bonus Rent”) for the Relet Premises than it would otherwise receive under this
Lease for said Premises then Landlord will pay to Tenant a lump sum equal to the present value of the amount of money the Bonus Rent would amortize at 9% interest over the term of the New Lease. However, said payment shall not exceed the costs and
expenses incurred by Tenant to acquire a new tenant for the Relet Premises. 
 Example for application of Bonus Rent: The New Lease provides
for Base Rent of $2.65 per month per rentable square foot and the current Lease provides for Base Rent of $2.35 per month per rentable square foot. The New Lease has a term of 60 months. All other terms and conditions of the two leases are the same.
Tenant incurs the following costs of reletting: 
  

					
	Commissions        	  	=	  	60 x $2.35 x .05 x 2,675 = $18,859
	Tenant Improvements
above                                       
             
	$20/RSF            	  	=	  	$15 x 2,675 = $40,125

  

 4 

					
	 Present Value of Bonus
 Rent                
	  	=	  	i = 9, n = 60, p = $802.5 (.30 x
	  	  	2,675), PV = $38,659

 Landlord pays Tenant $38,659 at occupancy of New Tenant. The present value of Bonus Rent in excess
of $58,984, if any, is kept by Landlord.” 
 Paragraph 17. Agreement re. Early Termination of Third Floor Space as described on Exhibit
“A-6” shall be added to the Principal Lease Provisions and shall read as follows: 
  

	 	“17.	Agreement re. Early Termination of Third Floor Space as described on Exhibit “A-6”. 

 Tenant may terminate the Lease for the portion of the Premises described on Exhibit “A-6” on the following terms and conditions: 
  

	 	1.	Tenant provides written notice of its “Election to Terminate” its Lease of the portion of the Premises described on Exhibit “A-6”. Any such election must be
given at least thirty (3) days prior to Tenant’s intended “Termination Date”. Any Termination Date must be the last day of a month. 

  

	 	2.	Tenant’s Election to Terminate may be for all or part of the Premises described on Exhibit “A-6”. 

  

	 	3.	Tenant’s obligations under the Lease for the portion of the Premises covered by an Election to Terminate shall be terminated upon the earliest occurrence of one of the
following events: 

  

	 	(a)	All or a portion of the Premises covered by an Election to Terminate is rented for any term by the Landlord. If only a portion is rented, then a prorata portion, equal to a ratio of
the rented space to the Premises covered by the Election to Terminate, of the Lease shall be terminated; 

  

	 	(b)	Twenty four (24) months after the Termination Date; or 

  

	 	(c)	July 31, 2013. 

  

	 	4.	Landlord shall use its best efforts to relet any portion of the Premises covered by an above-described Election to Terminate. All costs related to reletting said Premises shall be
the responsibility of Landlord. 

  

	 	5.	Tenant shall pay for reinstallation of the phone system to the extent that it existed prior to Tenant’s occupancy of the portion of the Premises described in Exhibit
“A-6”.” 

  

 5 

 All other provisions contained in the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
