I.  PURPOSE

	The purpose of the Plan is to provide certain designated senior executive employees with continued compensation and benefits, subject to the specific terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, in the event there is a Change of Control and the covered executive incurs a Termination of Employment. In addition, the Plan is intended to provide an incentive to covered executives to continue to perform their job duties on behalf of the Company where the Company is faced with a Change of Control. No Change of Control has occurred under the terms of the Plan as of the effective date of this restatement.

(as such terms are used in Rule 14(a)(11) or Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act); or

(iii)     there occurs either (A) the consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, in each case, with respect to which the individuals and entities who were the respective beneficial owners of the common stock and voting securities of Pitney Bowes Inc. immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale or other disposition do not, following such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale or other disposition beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale or other disposition or (B) an approval by the shareholders of Pitney Bowes Inc. of a complete liquidation or dissolution of Pitney Bowes Inc. or of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Pitney Bowes Inc.

III.  PARTICIPATION

		
	3.1
	Each Employee who falls within compensation Bands H, I or J or who is an elected corporate officer of Pitney Bowes Inc. not in compensation Bands H, I or J shall be a Participant in the Plan. 

		
	3.2
	Prior to the time a Change of Control has occurred, the Board may, in its sole discretion, without notice, amend, modify or terminate the eligibility of certain individual Employees or classes of Employees or Participants to participate in the Plan; provided, however, that such eligibility or participation may not be so amended, modified or terminated in connection with an actual, threatened, or proposed Change of Control in any manner which would result in an Employee or Participant otherwise becoming ineligible to participate in the Plan; and provided further that any amendment, modification or termination of the definition of an Employee or Participant’s participation in the Plan occurring within one year prior to a Change of Control shall be deemed to be in connection with an actual, threatened, or proposed Change of Control and shall be void.

In addition, when a Change of Control occurs, all rights of an Employee or Participant to eligibility and participation under the Plan shall be considered a contract right enforceable by the Participant against the Company and any successors thereto, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.  This Plan is not amendable after a Change of Control without the consent of the Plan Participants to such amendment.

5

IV.  SEPARATION BENEFITS

		
	4.1
	If any Participant incurs a Termination of Employment within two years after a Change of Control occurs (whether or not such termination is a result of such Change of Control) or a Participant is terminated within sixty (60) days before a Change of Control at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control, and a Change of Control subsequently occurs, the Company shall pay such Participant separation benefits as determined in Section 4.2 hereof and the benefits as determined in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 hereof. For purposes of determining the benefits set forth in Sections 4.3 and 4.4, if the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment following a reduction of the Participant’s Annual Salary, opportunity to earn an Annual Incentive, or other compensation or employee benefits, such reduction shall not be given effect.  Separation benefits  as described in this Section shall be paid either (a) in one lump sum within fifteen (15) days of the Date of Termination or (b) in a stream of payments payable on regular pay periods following the Date of Termination only if the Change of Control event does not meet the definition of “change of control” under IRC Section 409A (as defined in Section 9.4 herein) and if required to be paid in that fashion by IRC 409A to avoid the additional tax imposed by IRC Section 409A; with such stream of payments continuing over the severance period used to calculate the severance benefits under Section 4.2 herein.  If the termination of employment occurs before the Change of Control and is on account of the Change of Control, “fifteen (15) days” in the immediately prior sentence becomes “ninety (90) days” of the Date of Termination.

		
	4.2
	Separation benefits described in Section 4.1 hereof shall be determined as described below:

		
	(a)
	For a Participant in compensation Bands I or J, an amount equal to the product of (1) two times (2) the sum of (x) the Participant’s Annual Salary and (y) the Participant’s Average Annual Incentive Award.

For a Participant in Band H, or who is an elected corporate officer of Pitney Bowes Inc. and not in compensation Bands I or J, an amount equal to the product of (1) one and one half times (2) the sum of (x) the Participant’s Annual Salary and (y) the Participant’s Average Annual Incentive Award.

Payments made under this Section 4.2(a) shall be made as provided in Section 4.1 above.

		
	(b)
	An amount equal to the difference between (1) the lump sum actuarial equivalent of the benefit under the Company’s qualified defined benefit retirement plan (the “Pension Plan”) and any excess or supplemental defined 

6

benefit retirement plans in which the Participant participates (collectively, the “Pension Restoration Plan”) which the Participant would receive if his or her employment continued during the Separation Period, assuming the Participant is fully vested in his or her benefit under the Pension Plan as of the Date of Termination, and (2) the lump sum actuarial equivalent of the Participant’s actual benefit (paid or payable), if any, under the Pension Plan and the Pension Restoration Plan as of the Date of Termination. For purposes of the calculation required under subsection 4.2(b)(1), only the Participant’s additional months of age and service accrued during the Separation Period, but not the Participant’s compensation earned during the Separation Period, shall be taken into account. This calculation shall be performed on the same basis as if the Participant had remained actively employed throughout the entire Separation Period, except that the Participant’s earnings used in calculating the Participant’s highest average earnings shall cease on the day before the Separation Period begins.  The calculation of this amount shall be performed using the same factors employed under the Pension Plan and Participant’s compensation earned through the Date of Termination.  The actuarial determination hereunder shall be made as of the Date of Termination and the actuarial assumptions used for purposes of determining actuarial equivalence shall be no less favorable to the Participant than the most favorable of those in effect under the Retirement Plan and the Pension Restoration Plan on the Date of Termination.  Any Pension Restoration Plan payment shall be made in accordance with the payment election the Participant made under the Pension Restoration Plan.

		
	4.3
	During the Separation Period, the Participant and his or her Dependents shall continue to be provided with the medical, prescription drug, dental and life insurance and other health and welfare benefits in which the Participant has coverage under the plans or programs of the Company or its affiliates at the Date of Termination as if the Participant’s employment had not been terminated, unless the Participant elects to decline such coverage; provided, however, that if the Participant becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive a particular benefit described above under another employer‐provided plan, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility. For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of commencement of benefits) of the Participant for retiree medical, dental and life insurance benefits under the Company’s plans, practices, programs and policies, the Participant shall be considered to have remained employed during the Separation Period and to have retired or terminated employment on the last day of such period.  The “COBRA” continuation period for a Participant shall commence following the last day of the Separation Period.

		
	4.4
	The Company shall, at its sole expense, provide the Participant with outplacement services, the scope and provider of which shall be selected by the Company from the list of vendors the Company used to provide those services before the Change 

7

of Control, but at a cost to the Company of not more than the lesser of (i) 12% of Annual Salary and (ii) fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00).

		
	4.5   
	To the extent any benefits described in this Section 4 cannot be provided to the Participant pursuant to the appropriate plan or program maintained for Company employees in which a Participant participates, including, without limitation, because the coverage would cause the benefit plan to become discriminatory, the Company shall provide such benefits outside such plan or program at no additional cost (including, without limitation, tax cost) to the Participant.

		
	4.6
	The cash lump sum payment and continuation benefits set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 shall be payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other accrued or vested or earned but deferred rights, options or other benefits which may be owed to a Participant upon or following termination, including but not limited to regular Annual Salary earned but unpaid as of the Date of Termination, Annual Incentives earned but unpaid as of the Date of Termination, accrued vacation or sick pay, amounts or benefits payable under any incentive (other than the Annual Incentive) or other compensation plans, stock option plan, stock ownership plan, stock purchase plan, life insurance plan, health plan, disability plan or similar or successor plan.  Amounts received under this Plan, shall not be duplicative of any severance pay or pay in lieu of required notice under any applicable federal, state or local law, including, without limitation, the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act paid or payable by the Company to the Participant. In addition, any severance pay benefits made hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of statutory severance benefits paid to the participant if the Company had contributed to the fund or statutory scheme under which the benefits are paid. 

8

V.  TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

		
	5.1
	For purposes of the Plan, "Termination of Employment" shall include a termination of employment by the Participant for any of the following Good Reasons, subject to Section 5.3 below: 

		
	1.
	The assignment following a Change of Control to a Participant of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the Participant’s position, authority, duties and responsibilities as existed on the day immediately prior to the Change of Control, or any other action by the Company which results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties, or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial, and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Participant;

		
	2.
	Any failure by the Company following a Change of Control to continue to provide the Participant with Annual Salary, employee benefits, or other compensation equal to or greater than that to which such Participant was entitled immediately prior to the Date of the Change of Control, other than an isolated, insubstantial, and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Participant;

		
	3.
	Any failure by the Company following a Change of Control to continue to provide the Participant with the opportunity to earn Annual Incentives (and long-term incentive compensation as applicable) on a basis at least equal to that provided to the Participant prior to the Date of the Change of Control, taking into account the level of compensation that can be earned and the relative difficulty of any associated performance goals;

		
	4.
	The Company’s requiring the Participant, after a Change of Control, to be based, at any office or location more than 35 miles farther from the Participant’s place of residence than the office or location at which the Participant is employed immediately prior to the Date of the  Change of Control or the Company's requiring the Participant to travel on Company business to a substantially greater extent than required    immediately before the Change of Control; 

		
	5.
	Any failure by the Company, after a Change of Control, to require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) who acquired all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under the Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

9

Any good faith determination made by a Participant that a Good Reason described in subparagraphs 1 through 5 of this Section 5.1 has occurred shall be conclusive, subject to Section 5.3.

A Termination of Employment under this Plan shall not mean (a) the willful and continued failure of the Participant to perform substantially the Participant’s duties with the Company or any of its affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness) or (b) the willful engaging by the Participant in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company.

		
	5.2
	Any termination by the Company or by the Participant in accordance with Section  5.1 shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the other party. Any Notice of Termination shall be by written instrument which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in Section 5.1 above relied upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Participant’s employment under the provision so indicated, and (iii) if the Date of Termination is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the Date of Termination (which date shall not be more than 15 days after the giving of such notice). The failure by any Participant to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of entitlement to terminate under subparagraphs 1 through 5 of Section 5.1 above shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any right of such Participant or preclude such Participant from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing his rights.

    
		
	5.3
	Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Termination of Employment for Good Reason under Section 5.1 shall not occur if, within 30 days after the date the Participant gives a Notice of Termination to the Company after a Change of Control, the Company corrects the action or failure to act that constitutes the grounds for termination for Good Reason as described in Section 5.1 and as set forth in the Participant’s Notice of Termination.  If the Company does not correct the action or failure to act, the Participant must terminate his or her employment for Good Reason within 60 days after the end of the cure period, in order for the termination to be considered a Good Reason termination.

10

VI.  ADMINISTRATION AND CLAIMS
    
		
	6.1 
	The Plan Administrator shall be the Board or its delegate.  If an Employee or former Employee makes a written request alleging a right to receive benefits under this Plan or alleging a right to receive an adjustment in benefits being paid under the Plan, the Board shall treat it as a claim for benefits. All claims for benefits under the Plan shall be sent to the Executive Vice President Chief Human Resources Officer, or equivalent position, and must be received within 90 days after Termination of Employment. If the Board determines that any individual who has claimed a right to receive benefits, or different benefits, under the Plan is not entitled to receive all or any part of the benefits claimed, it will inform the claimant in writing of its determination and the reasons therefore in terms calculated to be understood by the claimant. The notice will be sent within 90 days of the claim unless the Board determines additional time, not exceeding 90 days, is needed. The notice shall make specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, and describe any additional material or information as necessary. Such notice shall, in addition, inform the claimant what procedure the claimant should follow to take advantage of the review procedures set forth below in the event the claimant desires to contest the denial of the claim. The claimant may within 90 days thereafter submit in writing to the Board a notice that the claimant contests the denial of his or her claim by the Board and desires a further review. The Board shall within 60 days thereafter review the claim and authorize the claimant and his or her personal representative to appear personally and review pertinent documents and submit issues and comments relating to the claim to the persons responsible for making the determination on behalf of the Board. The Board will render its final decision with specific reasons therefore in writing and will transmit it to the claimant within 60 days of the written request for review, unless the Board determines additional time, not exceeding 60 days, is needed, and so notifies the Participant. If the Company fails to respond to a claim filed in accordance with the foregoing within 60 days or any such extended period, the Company shall be deemed to have denied the claim.

If, after a Change of Control, a Participant institutes any legal action seeking to obtain or enforce, or is required to defend in any legal action the validity or enforceability of, any right or benefit provided by this Plan, the Company will pay for all actual legal fees and expenses incurred (as incurred) by such Participant, regardless of the outcome of such action and whether such action is between the Company and the Participant or between either of them and any third party.

11

VII.  AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

		
	7.1     
	This Plan is established by the Company on a voluntary basis and not as consideration for services rendered in the past, and the benefits herein are provided at the will of the Company. Neither the establishment of this Plan nor the payment of benefits by the Company shall be construed or interpreted as a condition of employment, nor shall this Plan modify or enlarge any rights of any person covered by it to be continued or to be retained in the employ of the Company.

Prior to the time a Change of Control has occurred, the Board may, in its sole discretion, without notice, amend or modify, in whole or in part, all of the terms and conditions of this Plan; provided, however, that this Plan may not be so amended or modified in connection with an actual, threatened, or proposed Change of Control in any manner which would result in a reduction of benefits to any Participant, without the express consent of the Participant; and provided further that any amendment or modification occurring within one year prior to a Change of Control shall be deemed to be “in connection with” an actual, threatened, or proposed Change of Control and shall be void unless the amended or modified Plan provides equivalent or greater benefits to every eligible Participant. Such amendment or modification may be retroactive in application; provided, however, such retroactive application shall not require or provide for the return or repayment of any benefits paid prior to the date of the adoption of the amendment or modification.

Prior to the time a Change of Control has occurred, the Board shall have the sole and absolute right to terminate this Plan without notice at any time; provided, however, that this Plan may not be so terminated in connection with an actual, threatened, or proposed Change of Control, unless a new severance plan is adopted which provides equivalent or greater benefits to every eligible Participant; and provided further that any termination occurring within one year prior to a Change of Control shall be deemed to be in connection with an actual, threatened, or proposed Change of Control, and shall be void unless a new severance plan is adopted which provides equivalent or greater benefits to every eligible Participant. Any valid termination shall be effective as of the date specified by the Board and, if no date is specified, the date of the action of termination by the Board. Upon termination, the Company will continue to make payments which have not been fully paid, in accordance with the terms of the Plan immediately prior to termination.

When a Change of Control, as defined herein, occurs, then all rights to severance payments contained herein shall be considered a contract right enforceable by the Participant against the Company and any successors     thereto, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. 

12

VIII.  ADJUSTMENT TO PAYMENTS

		
	8.1     
	 In the event that any benefits payable to a Participant pursuant to the Plan (“Payments”) (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this Section VIII would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any comparable successor provisions (the “Excise Tax”), then the Eligible Individual’s Payments hereunder shall be either (x) provided to the Participant in full, or (y) provided to the Participant as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, when taking into account applicable federal, state, local and foreign income and employment taxes, the Excise Tax, and any other applicable taxes, results in the receipt by the Participant, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under the Excise Tax.  In the event that the payments and/or benefits are to be reduced pursuant to this Section VIII, such payments and benefits shall be reduced such that the reduction of compensation to be provided to the Participant as a result of this Section VIII is minimized.  In applying this principle, the reduction shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero.  Unless the Company and the Participant otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section VIII shall be made in writing, in good faith and following the intent of this section by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accountants”).  The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section VIII.

    

13

IX.  MISCELLANEOUS

		
	9.1
	Non‐Alienability.     No benefit or payments provided hereunder shall be subject to any forms of sale, assignment or transfer. Benefits provided by this Plan shall not be subject to attachment, garnishment or other legal or equitable proceedings by creditors or persons representing creditors. Such payments are, however, subject to all applicable taxes and appropriate withholdings.

		
	9.2
	Eligibility for Other Benefits. This Plan shall have no effect on the Participant’s eligibility for other benefits customarily provided after termination unless otherwise stated in a written agreement executed by an authorized representative of the Company. The payments of benefits under this Plan shall not be deemed to be a continuation of employment, pay, or credited service for purposes of determining the availability, nature, or extent of the Company's benefit plans, programs or policies, except as expressly set forth herein.

		
	9.3
	Unfunded Plan Status.     This Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing nonqualified deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meaning of Section 401 of ERISA. This Plan is not intended to qualify as an ERISA welfare benefit plan.  All payments pursuant to the Plan shall be made from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established or other segregation of assets made to assure payment. No Participant or other person shall have under any circumstances any interest in any particular property or assets of the Company as a result of participating in the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) create one or more grantor trusts, the assets of which are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, to assist it in accumulating funds to pay its obligations under the Plan.

		
	9.4
	Death. In case of death, any unpaid payment or benefits to which the Participant was entitled at the time of death shall be paid to the Participant’s survivors or estate

		
	9.5
	I.R.C. Section 409A.  If and to the extent that Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code applies to amounts payable under the Plan, distributions may only be made under the Plan upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A. To the extent that any provision of the Plan would cause a conflict with any applicable requirements of Section 409A, or would cause the administration of the Plan to fail to satisfy the applicable requirements of section 409A, such provision shall be deemed null and void. It is intended that this Plan comply with the Change of Control provisions of Section 409A.

14

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if Section 409A applies to the Plan and if a participant is a “specified employee,” as defined in section 409A, payment of benefits under this Plan upon termination of employment shall be postponed for six months after termination of employment if required in order to avoid adverse taxation under Section 409A.  If payment of benefits under the Plan is required to be postponed pursuant to Section 409A, the accumulated amounts withheld on account of section 409A shall be paid in a lump sum payment within five days after the end of the required postponement period along with interest at the Applicable Federal Rate (Short-Term) on the unpaid balance for the postponement period.  If the participant dies during such postponement period prior to the payment of benefits, the amounts withheld on account of Section 409A shall be paid to the participant’s beneficiary determined under Section 9.4.
		
	9.6
	Validity and Severability.

	PREMISES

1.1    Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant the Premises as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto.  Tenant acknowledges that the Premises are acceptable for Tenant's use (subject to obligations undertaken in the Work Letter attached as Exhibit B), and Tenant acknowledges that, except as set forth in the Work Letter, neither Landlord nor any broker or agent has made any representations or warranties in connection with the physical condition of the Premises or their fitness for Tenant's use upon which Tenant has relied directly or indirectly for any purpose.  

1.2    Parking.  Landlord grants Tenant the exclusive right to use up to 304 parking spaces, in the area shown on Exhibit A (“Tenant's Exclusive Parking Area”).

1.3    Common Area.  Tenant may, subject to rules made by Landlord, use the following areas ("Common Area") in common with Landlord and other tenants of the Project, if any:  refuse facilities, landscaped areas, parking areas and driveways shown on Exhibit A, and any other roadways necessary for access to the Premises, and other common facilities designated by Landlord from time to time for the common use of all tenants of the Project.  

1.4    Reserved Rights.  Landlord reserves the right to enter the Premises upon reasonable notice to Tenant (or without notice in case of an emergency) in order to undertake the following all without abatement of rent or liability to Tenant, so long as Landlord employs commercially reasonable efforts to avoid obstructions and disturbance to Tenant's business operations:  inspect the Premises and/or the performance by Tenant of the terms and conditions hereof; make such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises as required or permitted hereunder; change boundary lines of the Common Areas; install, use, maintain, repair, alter, relocate or replace any pipes, ducts, conduits, wires, equipment and other facilities in the Common Area or the Building; grant easements on the Project, dedicate for public use portions thereof and record amendments to the covenants, conditions and restrictions ("CC&Rs") affecting the Building, so long as such amendments do not unreasonably or materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises or impose additional material monetary obligations on Tenant; change the name of the Project; affix reasonable signs and displays; and, during the last six (6) months of the Term, place signs for the rental of, and show the Premises to prospective tenants.  A copy of the existing CC&R's is attached as Exhibit E.

		
	2.
	TERM.

2.1    Commencement Date / Rent Commencement Date.  The Term of the Lease shall commence on the first day of April 2013, subject to the requirements of this Section (the “Commencement Date”), and payment of Net Rent shall commence 4 months later (which the parties anticipate will be the first day of August 2013, the "Rent Commencement Date") and shall continue in full force and effect for the period of time specified as the Term or any earlier date when this Lease is terminated as otherwise provided herein.  The Premises shall be deemed to be "Substantially Complete" on the date on which Landlord completes the “Landlord's Work” defined in the Work Letter.  The terms of the Tenant's Specifications are further described in Exhibit B-1.  If, for any reason, Landlord has not completed Landlord's Work by the target Commencement Date of April 1, 2013, Tenant will have the right to delay the Commencement Date until the date Landlord's Work is Substantially Complete, in which case the Rent Commencement Date will be the 123rd day after the Commencement Date (for example, if the Commencement Date is April 5, the Rent Commencement Date will be August 5).  In any case, as soon as possible after Landlord's Work is Substantially Complete, the parties will execute and deliver a Commencement Date Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C acknowledging (i) the Commencement Date, (ii) the final square footage of the Premises, (iii) Tenant's acceptance of the Premises, and (iv)the Rent Commencement Date.  

		
	3.
	RENT.

3.1    Rent.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at Landlord's Address for Payment of Rent designated in the Basic Lease Information, or at such other address as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing to Tenant for the payment of Net Rent, and Additional Rent as defined herein, in advance on the Rent Commencement Date, and then on the first day of each successive calendar month for the remainder of the Term (except as otherwise 

1

provided in this Lease).  Landlord agrees that Tenant may fulfill this obligation by making electronic payments through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) Network, and, at Tenant's request, Landlord will cooperate with Tenant to set up the ACH payment arrangement.  It is intended that this Lease be a "triple net lease."  Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant has no right to require Landlord to make any expenditure, incur any obligation, or incur any liability of any kind whatsoever in connection with this Lease or the ownership, construction, maintenance, operation or repair of the Premises or the Project.  If during an extension of the Lease, the Term commences (or ends) on a date other than the first (or last) day of a month Net Rent shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month.  All sums other than Net Rent which Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease shall be deemed to be additional rent due hereunder (“Additional Rent”), whether or not such sums are designated Additional Rent and, together with the Net Rent, shall be due and payable to Landlord commencing on the Commencement Date.  The term "Rent" means the Net Rent and all Additional Rent payable hereunder.

3.2    Late Charge and Interest.  The late payment of any Rent will cause Landlord to incur additional costs, including administration and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses and increased debt service ("Delinquency Costs").   Landlord shall notify Tenant if it has not received the monthly Rent by the 3rd day of any given month.  If Landlord has not received any installment of Rent within five (5) days after such notice is given Tenant, Tenant shall pay a late charge of three percent (3%) of the delinquent amount, which is agreed to represent a reasonable estimate of the Delinquency Costs incurred by Land-lord.

3.3    Security Deposit.  Tenant shall not be responsible to pay a Security Deposit.

		
	4.
	UTILITIES.

Tenant shall pay all charges for heat, water, sewerage, storm water, gas, electricity, telephone and any other utilities used on or provided to the Premises.  Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for interrup-tion in or curtailment of any utility service, nor shall any such interruption or curtailment constitute constructive eviction or grounds for rental abatement, unless such interruption or curtailment is caused by Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct.  Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause the Premises to be separately metered for electricity, gas, water and sewer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, during the period from the Tenant Fixturing Period Commencement Date through to the expiration of the Term of the Lease, if Tenant is actually prevented from using all or a material portion of the Premises as a result of (i) an interruption in essential utility services to the Premises which is the fault of Landlord or Landlord's employees, agents or contractors, (ii) Landlord's actions in entering upon the Premises (other than in exercising any remedy or curing any Tenant failure to perform in accordance with this Lease), or (iii) Landlord's failure to perform its maintenance and repair obligations under this Lease as and when due hereunder, and which prevention from use is not cured by Landlord within ten (10) consecutive business days following Landlord's receipt of written notice thereof from Tenant stating Tenant's intent to receive an abatement, then Net Rent and Tenant's obligation for payment of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes shall thereafter be equitably abated based upon the portion of the Premises which Tenant is so prevented from using, until and to the extent that Tenant is no longer so prevented from using such portion of the Premises as a result of the applicable item described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 13 below and not the provisions of this Section 4 shall govern in the event of casualty damage to the Premises or Project and the provisions of Section 14 below and not the provisions of this Section 4 shall govern in the event of condemnation of all or a part of the Premises or Project.

		
	5.
	TAXES.

5.1    Real Property Taxes.  Beginning on the Commencement Date (projected to be April 1, 2013), Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's Share of the Real Property Taxes for each full or partial calendar year during the Lease Term, payable monthly, as provided in Section 7.1.

5.2    Definition of Real Property Taxes.  "Real Property Taxes" shall be the sum of the following:  all real property taxes, assessments, supplementary taxes, escape taxes, possessory-interest taxes, business or license taxes or fees, service payments in lieu of such taxes or fees, special taxes, fees and/or charges assessed or otherwise payable under any community facilities district, special service district or any other special taxing district or 

2

authority, annual or periodic license or use fees, excises, transit and traffic charges, housing fund assessments, open space charges, childcare fees, school, sewer and parking fees or any other assessments, levies, fees, exactions or charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen as well as foreseen (including fees "in-lieu" of any such tax or assessment) which are assessed, levied, charged, conferred or imposed by any public authority upon the Project (or any real property comprising any portion thereof) or its opera-tions, together with all taxes, assessments or other fees imposed by any public authority or quasi-public authority upon or measured by any Rent or other charges payable hereunder, including any gross receipts tax or excise tax levied by any governmental authority with respect to receipt of rental income, or upon, with respect to or by reason of the development, possession, leasing, operation, management, main-tenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof, or documentary transfer taxes upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest in the Premises, together with any tax imposed in substitution, partially or totally, of any tax previously included within the aforesaid definition or any additional tax the nature of which was previously included within the aforesaid definition, together with any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys, administrative and expert witness fees and costs) of challenging any of the foregoing or seeking the reduction in or abatement, redemption or return of any of the foregoing, but only to the extent of any such reduction, abatement, redemption or return.  All references to Real Property Taxes during a particular year shall be deemed to refer to taxes accrued during such year, including supplemental tax bills regardless of when they are actually assessed and without regard to when such taxes are payable.  The obligation of Tenant to reimburse Landlord for Tenant's Share of Real Property Taxes (including, without limitation, any supplemental taxes) relating in whole or in part to a part of the Term of this Lease shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Lease.  Tenant will not be permitted to file any property tax assessment appeal, except as provided in the following paragraph.  Nothing con-tained in this Lease shall require Tenant to pay any franchise, corporate, estate or inheritance tax of Landlord, or any income, profits or revenue tax or charge upon the net income of Landlord, or any amounts that Landlord is not required to pay to the taxing authority for any reason (for example, due to abatements, incentives and other benefits in effect at any time during the Term).  For clarity, the parties confirm that Tenant will be credited with the full amount (100%) of all incentives Tenant receives from the State of Indiana, as provided in Section 20 of this Lease; and Tenant will be credited with (or otherwise receive) Tenant's Share of the benefit of any other abatements and incentives procured by Landlord.  Real Property Taxes for partial years, if any, falling within the Term shall be prorated (so that Tenant is not liable for Real Property Taxes relating to the period prior to the Possession Date or relating to the period following the expiration of the Term).  Tenant's obligations for Real Property Taxes for the last full and/or partial year(s) of the Term shall survive the expiration or early termination of the Lease.

If in Landlord's reasonable judgment the assessed value of the Building or the land for Real Property Tax purposes is higher than the actual fair market value, Landlord shall have the right to appeal or institute such other proceedings as it may consider appropriate to effect a reduction or abatement in any Real Property Tax levied upon the Building and/or the land.  If Landlord does not so elect to undertake such an appeal or institute such other proceedings, at Tenant's option, Tenant may, at Tenant's cost and expense, appeal or institute such other proceedings as it may consider appropriate to effect a reduction or abatement in any Real Property Tax levied upon the Building and/or the land upon which the Building is located.  If Tenant undertakes such an appeal, Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in making such appeal, provided that Landlord shall be under no obligation to incur any expenses or other liabilities in doing so and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.  In the event that a “Net Refund” (as hereinafter defined) is obtained for any Real Property Tax for which Tenant previously reimbursed Landlord, Landlord shall promptly pay Tenant its pro rata share of such Net Refund.  As used herein, the term “Net Refund” shall mean the amount of any refund of Real Property Taxes less amounts incurred by Landlord in obtaining such Net Refund.

5.3    Personal Property Taxes.  Prior to delinquency, Tenant shall pay all taxes and assessments levied upon trade fixtures, alterations, additions, improvements, inventories and other personal property located and/or installed on the Premises by Tenant; and Tenant shall provide Landlord copies of receipts for payment of all such taxes and assessments.  To the extent any such taxes are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof as invoiced by Landlord.

3

6.    OPERATING EXPENSES.

6.1    Operating Expenses.  Beginning on the Commencement Date (projected to be April 1, 2013) Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's Share of the Operating Expenses for each full or partial calendar year during the Lease Term, payable monthly, as provided in Section 7.1.

6.2    Definition of Operating Expenses.  "Operating Expenses" means the total costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in the ownership, operation, maintenance, repair and management of the Common Area and the Building, including, but not limited to, repair, maintenance, utility costs and landscaping of the Common Area, including, but not limited to, any and all costs of maintenance, repair and replacement of all driveways (including, sweeping, striping and slurry coating), loading and unloading areas, trash areas, outdoor lighting, sidewalks, walkways, snow removal, landscaping (including, without limitation, tree trimming), irrigation systems, monument signs, fences and gates, and other costs which are allocable to the Building or the real property of which the Premises are a part including any costs under the terms of any CC&Rs affecting the real property, insurance deductibles  and the costs relating to the insurance maintained by Landlord with respect to the Building, including, without limitation, Landlord's cost of any self insurance deductible or retention in any year); trash collection; and capital improvements made to or capital assets acquired for the Building after the Commencement Date that are intended to reduce Operating Expenses or are reasonably necessary for the health and safety of the occupants of the Project or are required under any governmental law or regulation, which capital costs, or an allocable portion thereof, shall be amortized over the period reasonably determined by Landlord, together with interest on the unamortized balance at no greater than eight percent (8%) per annum; and (g) any other costs incurred by Landlord related to the Project.  Operating Expenses shall also include an administrative fee to Landlord for accounting and project management services relating to the Building in an amount not to exceed three percent (3%) of the sum of Net Rent (i.e. management fees and salaries will be calculated at 3% of Net Rent).  

Operating Expenses shall not include (i) replacement, structural  repairs allocated to Landlord in Section 9.2 of this Lease (for example, repairs to the roof including gutters, the exterior walls of the Building and any other structural components of the Building); (ii) repairs to the extent covered by insurance proceeds, or paid by Tenant or other third parties; (iii) alterations solely attributable to tenants of the Project other than Tenant; (iv) costs or expenses allocated to Landlord in other provisions of this Lease (for example, repairs assigned to Landlord in Section 8 of the Work Letter and capital costs allocated to Landlord in Section 11 of this Lease); or (v) marketing expenses.  

Landlord agrees to limit any increases in Tenant's Share of controllable Operating Expenses (i.e. all Operating Expenses excluding common utilities, Real Property Taxes, snow removal and insurance premiums).  Tenant will pay the actual amount of controllable Operating Expenses during the first Lease Year; but increases in all subsequent Lease Years during the Term will be limited to 5% in any given year, cumulative and compounding.  For example, Tenant's Share of controllable Operating Expenses during the second Lease Year will not, under any circumstances, be greater than 105% of the amount charged to Tenant for controllable Operating Expenses during the first Lease Year; and Tenant's Share of controllable Operating Expenses during the third Lease Year will not, under any circumstances, be greater than 110% of the amount charged to Tenant for controllable Operating Expenses during the first Lease Year, etc.

		
	7.
	ESTIMATED EXPENSES/ADDITIONAL RENT.

7.1    Payment.  "Estimated Expenses" for any particular year shall mean Landlord's estimate of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes for that calendar year.  Tenant shall pay Tenant's Share of the Estimated Expenses with installments of Net Rent in monthly install-ments of one-twelfth (1/12th) thereof on the first day of each calendar month during such year.  These monthly installments are referred to as Additional Rent in the Basic Lease information Sheet.  If at any time Landlord determines that Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes are projected to vary from the then Estimated Expenses, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, revise such Estimated Expenses, and Tenant's monthly installments for the remainder of such year shall be adjusted so that by the end of such calendar year Tenant has paid to Landlord Tenant's Share of the revised Estimated Expenses for such year. 

4

7.2    Adjustment.  "Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes Adjustment" (or "Adjustment") shall mean the difference between Tenant's Share of Estimated Expenses and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes for any calendar year.  After the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes for such calendar year, accompanied by a computation of the Adjustment, together with supporting data.  If Tenant's payments are less than Tenant's Share, then Tenant shall pay the difference within 45 days after receipt of such statement.  Tenant's obligation to pay such amount shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.  If Tenant's payments exceed Tenant's Share, then (provided that Tenant is not in default), Landlord shall credit such excess amount to future installments of Tenant's Share for the next calendar year (except that after the last year of the Term, Landlord shall write a check for any such excess amount).  If Tenant is in default, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, credit such amount to Rent arrearages.  If during any calendar year the Building is not at least 100% occupied, Operating Expenses for such year shall be calculated based on a 100% occupancy rate for the Building.

7.3    Audit Rights.  In the event of any dispute as to the amount of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses, Tenant will have the right, by prior written notice ("Audit Notice") given within ninety (90) days ("Audit Period") following receipt of an actual statement of Operating Expenses ("Actual Statement"), to audit Landlord's accounting records with respect to Operating Expenses relative to the year to which such Actual Statement relates.  The audit shall be conducted by an accounting firm engaged by Tenant and shall be conducted at the office of Landlord at which records are kept or, at Landlord's election, the office of Landlord's property manager (if any).  The audit shall be conducted at reasonable times during normal business hours.  In no event will Landlord or its property manager be required to (i) photocopy any accounting records or other items or contracts (but Tenant and its agents will be permitted to make photocopies, at their expense), (ii) create any ledgers or schedules not already in existence, (iii) incur any costs or expenses relative to such inspection, or (iv) perform any other tasks other than making available such accounting records as aforesaid.  Neither Tenant nor its auditor may leave the office of Landlord with originals of any materials supplied by Landlord, but they may take photocopies (and Landlord shall make photocopy equipment available for that purpose).  Tenant must pay Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses when due pursuant to the terms of this Lease and may not withhold payment of Operating Expenses or any other rent pending results of the audit.  The audit must be completed within thirty (30) days of the date Landlord makes such accounting records available to Tenant and the results of such audit shall be delivered to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after such audit completion.  If such audit or review reveals that Landlord has overcharged Tenant, then within thirty (30) days after the results of such audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord shall refund to Tenant the amount of such overcharge.  If the audit reveals that Tenant was undercharged, then within thirty (30) days after the results of the audit are made available to Tenant, Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord the amount of such undercharge.  Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit, provided that if the audit reveals that Landlord's determination of Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses as set forth in the relevant Actual Statement was in error in Landlord's favor by more than five percent (5%) of the amount charged by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to such Actual Statement, then Landlord agrees to pay the reasonable, third-party cost of such audit incurred by Tenant.  To the extent Landlord must pay the cost of such audit, such cost shall not exceed a reasonable hourly charge for a reasonable amount of hours spent by such third -party in connection with the audit, and in no event will the costs which Landlord is so obligated to pay exceed the amount of the error.  Tenant agrees to keep the results of the audit confidential and will cause its agents, employees and contractors to keep such results confidential.  To that end, Landlord may require Tenant and its auditor to execute a commercially reasonable form of confidentiality agreement provided by Landlord.

5

8.2.1    Commercial General Liability Insurance (Occurrence Form).

Failure of Landlord to demand such certificates, endorsements or other evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements of this Section 8, or failure of Landlord to identify a deficiency from evidence provided will not be construed as a waiver of the Tenant's obligation to maintain such insurance.  The acceptance of delivery by Tenant of any certificates, endorsements or other evidence of insurance does not constitute approval or agreement by Landlord that the insurance requirements have been met, that the insurance policies evidenced are in compliance with these requirements, or that the insurance requirements are sufficient to fully protect Tenant from liability.

6

8.3.4    Primary Coverage.  All insurance to be maintained by Tenant shall, except for workers' compensation and employer's liability insurance, be primary, without right of contribution from insurance of any additional insured.

	ALTERATIONS.

10.1    Trade Fixtures; Alterations.

Approval of plans and specifications shall not be required for the foregoing interior decorating or non-structural items, where plans and specifications are not reasonably appropriate for the work to be performed.  If Landlord's consent is required Tenant shall submit plans and specifications to Landlord with Tenant's request for approval and shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable costs which Landlord may incur in connection with granting approval to Tenant for any such alterations and additions, including any reasonable costs or expenses which Landlord may incur in electing to have outside architects and engineers review said matters, up to a maximum reimbursement of $1,000 per request.  If Landlord does not respond to a written request from Tenant within ten (10) business days, then Landlord shall be deemed to approve such request.  In the event Tenant makes any alterations to the Premises that trigger or give rise to a requirement that the Building or the Premises come into compliance with any governmental laws, ordinances, statutes, orders and/or regulations (such as ADA requirements), Tenant shall be fully responsible for complying, at its sole cost and expense, with same.

All such removals and restoration shall be accomplished in a good and workmanlike manner and so as not to cause any damage to the Premises, the Building, the Common Area whatsoever.

10.3    Liens.  Tenant shall promptly pay and discharge all claims for labor performed, supplies furnished and services rendered at the request of Tenant and shall keep the Premises free of all mechanics' and materialmen's liens in connection therewith.  If any lien is filed, Tenant shall cause such lien to be released and removed within twenty (20) days after the date of filing, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may take such action as may be 

9

necessary to remove such lien and Tenant shall pay Landlord such amounts expended by Landlord together with interest thereon at the Applicable Interest Rate from the date of expenditure.

10.4    Standard of Work.  All work to be performed by or for Tenant pursuant hereto shall be performed diligently and in a first class, workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all Applicable Laws, and/or Tenant and Landlord's insurance carriers.  Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to inspect periodically the work on the Premises and Landlord may require changes in the method or quality of the work.

Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in Tenant's efforts to obtain any governmental permit, license or approval which is the responsibility of Tenant hereunder, at no cost, expense or liability to Landlord.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord (and not Tenant) shall be required to make: (a) at Landlord's cost, without inclusion in Operating Expenses, all alterations, repairs and replacements to conform the Premises to Applicable Laws in effect as of the Effective Date; and (b) at Landlord's cost but subject to inclusion of such costs in Operating Expenses to the extent permitted under the definition of Operating Expenses in Section 6 above, any capital improvements to the Premises required in order to cause the Premises to comply with Applicable Laws enacted after the Effective Date, except that if such compliance work is necessitated by the particular use of, or alterations or improvements to, the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Parties, then Tenant shall perform such compliance work at Tenant's sole cost.  In no event shall the Premises be used for any of the Prohibited Uses set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto.  Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit E, together with such additional rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time reasonably prescribe (so long as they do not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises or impose additional material monetary obligations on Tenant).  Tenant shall not commit waste, overload the floors or structure of the Building, permit any unreasonable odors, smoke, dust, gas, substances, noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, take any action which would obstruct or endanger any other tenants, take any action which would abrogate any warranties, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose.  Landlord shall not be responsible for non-compliance by any other tenant or occupant of the Project with, or Landlord's failure to enforce, any of the rules or regulations or CC&Rs or any other terms or provisions of such tenant's or occupant's lease, but Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the CC&Rs and other rules and regulations with respect to all Project tenants in a non-discriminatory manner (provided that nothing contained herein shall obligate Landlord to commence any litigation or other proceeding in pursuing such enforcement).  Tenant shall promptly comply with the reasonable requirements of any board of fire insurance underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted.  Tenant shall not do any act which shall in any way encumber the title of Landlord in and to the Premises, the Building or the Project.

10

there are no Hazardous Materials located on or under the Premises at levels which exceed requirements of Applicable Laws.  

12.2    Landlord Hold Harmless.  Landlord shall hold harmless Tenant from and against any and all orders, penalties, fines, administrative actions, or other proceedings (collectively, a "Compliance Obligation") commenced by any governmental agency including, without limitation, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, arising at any time to the extent that such Compliance Obligation results from any environmental condition (as defined in Section 12.1) (a) that exists as of the date of delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant (a "Pre-existing Condition"), (b) that is the result of a Pre-existing Condition that worsens following the delivery of possession, or (c) that is the result of a sub-surface migration of Hazardous Materials (any such Environmental Condition referenced in the foregoing clause (a), (b) or (c) is referred to herein as a “Landlord Environmental Condition”), except to the extent that such Landlord Environmental Condition is caused or aggravated by the act or omission of Tenant and/or its employees or agents.  Landlord's obligations pursuant to the foregoing hold harmless obligation shall survive the termination of this Lease.

Neither the written consent by Landlord to the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises, nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all Environmental Laws, shall excuse Tenant from Tenant's obligation of indemnification pursuant hereto.  Tenant's obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

		
	13.
	DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION.

13.1    Casualty.  If the Premises or Building or the Project should be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate written notice to Landlord.  Within thirty (30) days after receipt from Tenant of such written notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the necessary repairs can reasonably be made:  (a) within ninety (90) days; (b) in more than ninety (90) days but in less than one hundred eighty (180) days; or (c) in more than one hundred eighty (180) days, in each case after the date of the issuance of permits for the necessary repair or reconstruction of the portion of the Building or Premises or the Project which was damaged or destroyed.  If Landlord does not exercise a right to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall promptly apply for the permit(s) necessary to restore the Premises, the Building, and the Project (the “Permits”).

13.1.1  Less Than 90 Days.  If the Premises or Building should be damaged only to such extent that rebuilding or repairs can reasonably be completed within ninety (90) days after the issuance of Permits for the necessary repair or reconstruction of the portion of the Building or Premises or Project which was damaged or destroyed, this Lease shall not terminate and, provided that insurance proceeds are available to fully repair the damage, Landlord shall repair the Premises, except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace Tenant's Property  which may have been placed in, on or about the Premises by or for the benefit of Tenant.  If Tenant is required to vacate all or a portion of the Premises during Landlord's repair thereof, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated propor-tionately on the basis of the size of the area of the Premises that is vacated (i.e, the number of square feet of floor area of the Premises that is vacated compared to the total square footage of the floor area of the Premises) from the date Tenant vacates all or a portion of the Premises that was damaged only during the period the Premises are unfit for occupancy as reasonably determined by Tenant.  However if the Premises are damaged to such an extent that Tenant, in its reasonable discretion, determines that it cannot reasonably conduct its 

11

business in a substantial way, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated during the period the Premises are in such condition. 

13.1.2  Greater Than 90 Days.  If the Premises or Building or Project should be damaged only to such extent that rebuilding or repairs can reasonably be completed in more than ninety (90) days but in less than one hundred eighty (180) days after the issuance of Permits for the necessary repair or reconstruction of the portion of the Building or Premises which was damaged or destroyed, then Landlord shall have the option of:  (a) terminating the Lease effective upon the occurrence of such damage, in which event the Rent shall be abated from the date Tenant vacates the Premises; or (b) electing to repair the Premises, the Building and the Project, provided insurance proceeds are available to fully repair the damage (except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace Tenant's Property which may have been placed in, on or about the Premises by or for the benefit of Tenant).  If Tenant, in its reasonable discretion, determines that it must vacate all or a portion of the Premises during Landlord's repair thereof, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately on the basis of the size of the area of the Premises that is vacated (i.e., the number of square feet of floor area of the Premises that is vacated compared to the total square footage of the floor area of the Premises) from the date Tenant vacates all or a portion of the Premises only during the period the Premises are unfit for occupancy as reasonably determined by Tenant.  However if the Premises are damaged to such an extent that Tenant, in its reasonable discretion, determines that it cannot reasonably conduct its business in a substantial way, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated during the period the Premises are in such condition as reasonably determined by Tenant.  In the event that Landlord should fail to obtain the Permits within 60 days after the date of the casualty, or to substantially complete such repairs within one hundred eighty (180) days after the issuance of Permits for the necessary repair or reconstruction of the portion of the Building or Premises which was damaged or destroyed, (such period to be extended for delays caused by Tenant or because of any items of Force Majeure, as hereinafter defined) and Tenant has not re-occupied the Premises, Tenant shall have the right, as Tenant's exclusive remedy, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such 60 day period, or one hundred eighty (180) day period, as applicable, and provided that such Permits have not been issued, or such repairs have not been substantially completed (as applicable) within such ten (10) day period, to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord as Tenant's exclusive remedy, whereupon this Lease will be terminated retroactive to the date of the casualty.

13.1.3    Greater Than 180 Days.  If the Premises or Building or Project should be so damaged that rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the issuance of Permits for the necessary repair or reconstruction of the portion of the Building or Premises or Project which was damaged or destroyed, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord specifying such time period of repair; and this Lease shall terminate and the Rent shall be abated from the date of the casualty.  In the event that neither party elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repairs to the Building or Premises or Project, provided insurance proceeds are available to repair the damage (except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace Tenant's Property which may have been placed in, on or about the Premises by or for the benefit of Tenant).  If Tenant, in its reasonable discretion, determines that it must vacate all or a portion of the Premises during Landlord's repair thereof, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately on the basis of the size of the area of the Premises that is vacated (i.e., the number of square feet of floor area of the Premises that is vacated compared to the total square footage of the floor area of the Premises), from the date Tenant vacates all or a portion of the Premises that was vacated only during the period that the Premises are unfit for occupancy as reasonably determined by Tenant.  In the event that Landlord should fail to obtain the Permits within 60 days after the date of the casualty, or to substantially complete such repairs within the time period estimated in Landlord's notice delivered pursuant to Section 13.1, Tenant shall have the right, as Tenant's exclusive remedy, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such 60 day period, or the estimated completion period, as applicable, and provided that such Permits have not been issued, or such repairs have not been substantially completed (as applicable) within such ten (10) day period, to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord as Tenant's exclusive remedy, whereupon this Lease will be terminated retroactive to the date of the casualty.

13.1.4    Casualty During the Last Year of the Lease Term.  Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, if the Premises or the Building or Project shall be damaged within the last year of the Lease Term, and if the cost to repair or reconstruct the portion of the Building or the Premises or Project which was damaged or destroyed shall exceed $250,000, then, irrespective of the time necessary to complete such repair or reconstruction, either party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Lease effective upon the occurrence of such damage, in 

12

which event the Rent shall be abated from the date Tenant of the casualty.  The foregoing right shall be in addition to any other right and option of either party under this Section 13.  

13.2 Tenant's Fault.  If the premises or any portion of the building is damaged solely as the result of the negligence or breach of this Lease by Tenant or Tenant Parties, Rent shall abate during the 12 month period following the casualty, but if this Lease has not been terminated, and the Premises has not been restored for any reason other than Landlord's failure to diligently prosecute the repairs and restoration, then Tenant will be liable to Landlord for Rent accruing after the 12th month following the date of the casualty (i.e., the date when the loss of rent coverage under Landlord's Insurance is scheduled to end).

13.3    Uninsured Casualty.  Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord Tenant's Share of any deductible or retention amount payable under the property insurance for the Building, up to a maximum of $25,000 per casualty incident.  In the event that the Premises or any portion of the Building or the Project is damaged to the extent Tenant is unable to use the Premises and such damage is not covered by insurance proceeds received by Landlord, then Landlord shall have the right at Landlord's option either (i) to repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Landlord's expense, or (ii) to give written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence of such damage of Landlord's intention to terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage.  In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall have the right within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice to give written notice to Landlord of Tenant's commitment to pay the cost of repair of such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Landlord shall make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible subject to the following conditions: Tenant shall deposit with Landlord Landlord's estimated cost of such repairs not later than ten (10) days prior to Landlord's commencement of the repair work.  If the cost of such repairs exceeds the amount deposited, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such excess cost within fifteen (15) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord.  Any amount deposited by Tenant in excess of the cost of such repairs shall be refunded within thirty (30) days of Landlord's final payment to Landlord's contractor.  If Tenant does not give such notice within the ten (10) day period, or fails to make such deposit as required, this Lease shall terminate automatically as of the date of the occurrence of the damage. 

13.4    Waiver.  With respect to any damage or destruction which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair, Tenant waives all rights to terminate this Lease pursuant to rights otherwise presently or hereafter accorded by Applicable Laws.

		
	14.
	EMINENT DOMAIN.

14.1    Total Condemnation.  If all of the Premises is condemned by eminent domain, inversely condemned or sold under threat of condemnation for any public or quasi-public use or purpose ("Condemned"), this Lease shall terminate as of the earlier of the date the condemning authority takes title to or possession of the Premises, and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination.

14.2    Partial Condemnation.  If any portion of the Premises or the Building or the Project is Condemned and such partial condemnation materially impairs Tenant's ability to use the Premises for Tenant's business as reasonably determined by the parties, this Lease shall terminate as of the earlier of the date title vests in the condemning authority or as of the date an order of immediate possession is issued and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination.  If such partial condemnation does not materially impair Tenant's ability to use the Premises for the business of Tenant, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises and the Project to the extent of any con-demnation proceeds recovered by Landlord, excluding the portion thereof lost in such condemnation, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect except that after the date of such title vesting or order of immediate possession Rent and Tenant's Share shall be adjusted as reasonably deter-mined by Landlord and Tenant. However if the Premises or the Building or the Project are partially condemned to such an extent that Tenant cannot reasonably conduct its business in a substantial way, Tenant may terminate this Agreement.  

14.3    Award.  If the Premises or Project are wholly or partially Condemned, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award paid for such condemnation, and Tenant waives any claim to any part of the award from Landlord or the condemning authority; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to recover from the condemning authority such compensation as may be separately awarded to Tenant in connection with costs in removing Tenant's merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment to a new location.  No 

13

condemnation of any kind shall be construed to constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant or a breach of any express or implied covenant of quiet enjoyment.  Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any statutes or court decisions which provide a party to a lease with a right to abatement of rent or termination of the lease or establish the manner of allocation of the condemnation award when leased property is condemned or taken and agree that such event shall be exclusively governed by the terms of this Lease.

14.4    Temporary Condemnation.  In the event of a temporary condemnation not extending beyond the Term, this Lease shall remain in effect, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent and Tenant shall receive any award made for such condemnation except damages to any of Landlord's property.  If a temporary condemnation is for a period which extends beyond the Term, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of initial occupancy by the condemning authority and any such award shall be distributed in accordance with the preceding section.  If a temporary condemnation remains in effect at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord the reasonable cost of performing any obligations required of Tenant with respect to the surrender of the Premises.  

		
	15.
	DEFAULT.

15.1    Events of Defaults.  The occurrence of any of the following events shall, at Landlord's option, constitute an "Event of Default": 

15.1.1  Abandonment.  Abandonment of the Premises for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days (For clarity, Landlord agrees that Tenant will not be deemed to have abandoned the Premises, so long as Tenant pays the Rent due to Landlord, maintains the utilities, secures the Premises, and routinely inspects the Premises at least once per week);

15.1.2  Failure to pay Rent within 5 days after receipt of Landlord's written notice that the amount is past due;

15.1.3  Failure to perform Tenant's covenants and obligations hereunder (except default in the payment of Rent) where such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord; provided, however, if the nature of the default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences the cure within twenty (20) days after written notice from Landlord and diligently and continuously prosecutes such cure to completion; 

15.1.4  The making of a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors; the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant or the filing of an involuntary petition by any of Tenant's creditors seeking the rehabilitation, liquidation or reorganization of Tenant under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief of debtors and, in the case of an involuntary action, the failure to remove or discharge the same within sixty (60) days of such filing; the appointment of a receiver or other custodian to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets or this leasehold; Tenant's insolvency or inability to pay Tenant's debts or failure generally to pay Tenant's debts when due; any court entering a decree or order directing the winding up or liquidation of Tenant or of substantially all of Tenant's assets; Tenant taking any action toward the dissolution or winding up of Tenant's affairs; the cessation or suspension of Tenant's use of the Premises; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets or this leasehold; or

15.1.5  The making of any material misrepresentation or omission by Tenant or any successor in interest of Tenant in any materials delivered by or on behalf of Tenant to Landlord or Landlord's lender pursuant to this Lease.

15.2    Remedies.

15.2.1    Termination.  In the event of the occur-rence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right to give a written termination notice to Tenant (which notice may be the notice given under Section 15.1 above, if applicable, and which notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required by Applicable Laws) and, on the date specified in such notice, this Lease shall terminate unless on or before such date all arrears of Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease and all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of 

14

Landlord here-under shall have been paid by Tenant and all other Events of Default at the time existing shall have been fully remedied to the satisfaction of Landlord.  

15.2.1.1  Repossession.  Following termination, without prejudice to other remedies Landlord may have, Landlord may (i) peaceably re-enter the Premises upon voluntary surrender by Tenant or remove Tenant therefrom and any other persons occupying the Premises, using such legal proceedings as may be available; (ii) repossess the Premises or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term), at such rental and upon such other terms and condi-tions as Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion shall determine, with the right to make reasonable alterations and repairs to the Premises; and (iii) remove all personal property therefrom.

15.2.1.2  Unpaid Rent.  Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies of a landlord provided by Applicable Law, including the right to recover from Tenant: (a) the worth, at the time of award, of the unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time of termination, (b) the worth, at the time of award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have been earned after the date of termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, (c) 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 the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, and (d) any other amount, and court costs, necessary to com-pensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's default.  The phrase "worth, at the time of award," as used in (a) and (b) above, shall be com-puted at the Applicable Interest Rate, and as used in (c) above, shall be 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%).

15.2.2    Continuation.  Even though an Event of Default may have occurred, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession; and Landlord may enforce all of Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease, including, without limitation, the right to recover Rent as it becomes due; so long as, at Tenant's request, Landlord commences commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the damages accruing under this Lease.  Upon receipt of any such request, Landlord shall, without terminating this Lease, during the period Tenant is in default, enter the Premises and relet the same, or any portion thereof, to third parties for Tenant's account and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, brokers' commissions, expenses of remodeling the Premises and like costs.  Reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term.  Tenant shall continue to pay the Rent on the date the same is due. No act by Landlord hereunder, including acts of maintenance, preservation or efforts to lease the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon application of Landlord to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease, shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease.  In the event that Landlord elects to relet the Premises, the rent that Landlord receives from reletting shall be applied to the payment of, first, any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than Net Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes; second, all costs, including maintenance, incurred by Landlord in reletting; and, third, Net Rent and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes under this Lease.  After deducting the payments referred to above, any sum remaining from the rental Landlord receives from reletting shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as Rent becomes due under this Lease.  In no event, and notwithstanding anything in Section 16 to the contrary, shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord.  If, on the date Rent is due under this Lease, the rent received from the reletting is less than the Rent due on that date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the remaining Rent due, all costs, including mainte-nance, which Landlord incurred in reletting the Premises that remain after applying the rent received from reletting as provided hereinabove.  So long as this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall have the right to remedy any default of Tenant, to maintain or improve the Premises, to cause a receiver to be appointed to administer the Premises and new or existing subleases and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Landlord's reasonable costs in so doing, with interest at the Applicable Interest Rate from the date of such expenditure.  Landlord shall have no duty to relet the Premises so long as it has other unleased space available in the Project.

15.3    Cumulative.  Each right and remedy of Landlord provided for herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise.  No payment by Tenant of a lesser amount than the Rent nor any endorsement on any check or letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction of full payment of Rent; 

15

and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or to pursue other remedies.

		
	16.
	ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. 

16.1    Landlord's Consent Required.  Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the Premises, without Landlord's prior written consent, which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition.  Landlord shall respond to Tenant's request for consent hereunder in a timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease.

16.2    Tenant Affiliate and Other Permitted Transfers.    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 16.1 hereof, Tenant may assign its interest under this Lease or sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof, without Landlord's consent, (a) to any legal entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or (b) to any legal entity resulting from the merger or consolidation with Tenant, (c) or to any person or entity which acquires all of the assets of Tenant as a going concern of the business that is being conducted on the Premises, or (d) to any person or entity acquiring all the shares of Tenant; provided that said assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.  Any such assignment shall not, in any way, affect or limit the liability of Tenant under the terms of this Lease.

16.3    No Release of Tenant.  Regardless of Landlord's consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant's obligation or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all the other obligations by Tenant hereunder.  The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof.  Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.  In the event of default of any assignee of Tenant or successor of Tenant, in performance of any of the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee.  Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with the assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto. 

		
	17.
	ESTOPPEL, ATTORNMENT AND SUBORDINATION.

17.1    Estoppel.  Within 18 days after written request by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver an estoppel certificate duly executed (and acknowledged if required by any lender), to any proposed mortgagee, purchaser or Landlord. Tenant's failure to deliver said state-ment in such time period shall be an Event of Default hereunder.  For the purpose of this requirement, the term estoppels certificate means a statement that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance and Tenant has no right of offset, counterclaim or deduction against Rent here-under; and (c) no more than one month's Net Rent has been paid in advance.  
17.2    Subordination.  This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all ground leases and master leases and the lien of all mortgages and deeds of trust which now or hereafter affect the Premises or the Project or Landlord's interest therein, and all amendments thereto, all without the necessity of Tenant's executing further instruments to effect such subordination.  If requested, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's request whatever documentation that may reasonably be required to further effect the provisions of this paragraph including a Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement.  Tenant's failure to deliver said documentation in such time period shall be an Event of Default hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, Tenant's obligation to hereafter subordinate this Lease to any ground lease or master lease hereafter encumbering the Project or the Building or the lien of any future mortgagee or trust deed beneficiary under a mortgage or deed of trust hereafter encumbering the Project or Building or to hereafter attorn to such ground lessor, master lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary shall be conditioned upon the willingness of such ground lessor, master lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary to enter into a Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement with Tenant.  In addition, Landlord covenants that Eclipse is the only current lienholder with rights superior to this Lease, and there are no other existing mortgagees, trust deed beneficiaries, ground lessors or master lessors with respect to the Project.  Landlord covenants and agrees to provide 

16

Tenant, prior to the Commencement Date, a Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement fully executed by such lienholder, a copy of which will be attached as Exhibit H.  

17.3    Non-Disturbance.  So long as Tenant is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Landlord shall ensure that and warrant that Tenant has peaceful and undisturbed possession of the Premises.

TENANT ALSO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LEASE.

18.1.4 Severability.  If any provision of this Lease or the application of any such provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable to any extent, the remaining provisions of this Lease and the application thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected, impaired or invalidated.

18.1.5 Law.  This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Premises are located.

18.2    Signs.  All signs and graphics of every kind visible in or from public view or corridors, the Common Areas or the exterior of the Premises (whether located inside or outside of the Premises) shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall be subject to any applicable governmental laws, ordinances, and regulations and in compliance with Landlord's signage program.  Tenant shall remove all such signs and graphics prior to the termination of this Lease.  Such installations and removals shall be made in such manner as to avoid injury or defacement of the Premises; and Tenant shall repair any injury or defacement, including without limitation, discoloration caused by such installation or removal.

18.3    Waiver.  No waiver of any default or breach hereunder shall be implied from any omission to take action on account thereof, notwithstanding any custom and practice or course of dealing.  No waiver by either party of any provision under this Lease shall be effective unless in writing and signed by such party.  No waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in the waiver and then such waiver shall be operative only for the time and to the extent therein stated. Waivers of any cove-nant shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same.  

18.4    Limitation of Liability.  The obligations of Landlord under this Lease are not personal obligations of the individual partners, members, managers, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees of Landlord; and Tenant shall not seek recourse against the assets of the directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees of Landlord.  Whenever Landlord trans-fers its interest in the Project, Landlord shall be automatically released from further performance under this Lease and from all further liabilities and expenses accruing from and after the date of the transfer of its interest, but only so long as and to the extent that the transferee of Landlord's interest assumes all such liabilities and obligations of Landlord hereunder from the date of such transfer.

18.5    Notices.  All notices to be given hereunder shall be in writing and mailed postage prepaid by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight express mail delivery carrier providing tracking service, or delivered by personal or courier delivery, or sent by e-mail or facsimile, electronically confirmed, (and in the case of e-mail or facsimile immediately followed by one of the preceding methods), to Landlord's Address and Tenant's Address, or to such other place as Landlord or Tenant may designate in a writ-ten notice given to the other party.  Notices shall be deemed served upon receipt (or in the case of e-mail or facsimile, on confirmation of receipt).

18.6    Brokerage Commission.  Landlord shall pay a brokerage commission to Landlord's Broker and to Tenant's Broker specified in the Basic Lease Information in accordance with separate agreements between Landlord and Landlord's Broker and Tenant's Broker.  Landlord shall have no further or separate obligation for payment of any commissions or fees to any other broker or finder.  Tenant warrants to Landlord that Tenant's sole contact with Landlord or with the Premises in connection with this transaction has been directly with Landlord, Landlord's Broker and Tenant's Broker specified in the Basic Lease Information, and that no other broker or finder can properly claim a right to a commission or a finder's fee based upon contacts between the claimant and Tenant.  Subject to the foregoing, Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any claims or liability, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in connection with a claim by any person for a real estate broker's commission, finder's fee or other compensation based upon any statement, representation or agreement of Tenant, and Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from any such claims or liability, including reasonable attorneys' fees, based upon any statement, representation or agreement of Landlord.

18.7    Authorization.  Each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant or Landlord represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of such party and that such execution is binding upon such party.

18.8    Holding Over; Surrender.  

18.8.1  Holding Over.  If Tenant holds over the Premises or any part thereof after expiration of the Term, such holding over shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a month-to-month tenancy, at a Net Rent equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Net Rent in effect immediately prior to such holding over for the first two months and one hundred fifty percent (150%) thereafter, and shall otherwise be on all the other terms and conditions of this Lease. This paragraph shall not be construed as Landlord's permission for Tenant to hold over.  Acceptance of Rent by Landlord following expiration or termination shall not constitute a renewal of this Lease or 

18

extension of the Term except as specifically set forth above.  Landlord will not be entitled to consequential damages for any holding over unless Landlord has first delivered written notice (a “Damages Notice”) to Tenant disclosing the amount of consequential damages Landlord is likely to sustain if Tenant fails to vacate the Premises on the expiration date or any later date specified in the notice (the “Mandatory Surrender Date”).  Landlord may deliver a Damages Notice at any time during the last year of the Term or during any subsequent period of holding over, so long as the Damages Notice is delivered at least 30 days before the Mandatory Surrender Date.  If Tenant receives a Damages Notice and subsequently fails to surrender the Premises by the Mandatory Surrender Date, then Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against consequential damages arising out of Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises by the Mandatory Surrender Date, including, but not limited to, any amounts required to be paid to any tenant or prospective tenant who was to have occupied the Premises after the Mandatory Surrender Date and any related attorneys' fees and brokerage commissions.  

18.8.2 Surrender.  Upon the termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, Tenant will surrender the Premises broom clean, together with all keys, in good condition and repair, subject to reasonable wear and tear, and conditions or damages which Landlord is required to repair or restore.  Tenant shall patch and fill all holes within the Premises caused by Tenant's use, and all penetrations of the roof caused by Tenant shall be resealed to a watertight condition.  In no event may Tenant remove from the Premises any mechanical or electrical systems or any wiring or any other aspect of any systems within the Premises.  Conditions existing because of Tenant's failure to maintain the contracts listed on Exhibit F shall not be deemed "reasonable wear and tear."  At Tenant's request, Landlord will participate in a joint walk-through inspection of the Premises within three business days after Tenant surrenders the space, and the parties will identify all remaining obligations of Tenant (if any) and the dates by which Tenant will complete such remaining work. 

18.9    Joint and Several.  If Tenant consists of more than one person, the obligation of all such persons shall be joint and several.

18.10    Covenants and Conditions.  Each provision to be performed by Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to be both a covenant and a condition.
18.11    Auctions.  Tenant shall not conduct, nor permit to be conducted, any auction upon the Premises without Landlord's prior written consent.  Landlord shall not be obligated to exercise any standard of reasonableness in determining whether to permit an auction.
18.12    Consents.  Landlord's consent to any act, assignment or subletting shall not constitute an acknowledgment that no Event of Default or breach by Tenant of this Lease exists, nor shall such consent be deemed a waiver of any then existing Event of Default or breach, except as may be otherwise specifically stated in writing by Landlord at the time of such consent.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, the failure to specify herein any particular condition to Landlord's consent shall not preclude the imposition by Landlord 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.  

18.13    Force Majeure.  "Force Majeure" as used herein means delays resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of the other party, including, without limitation, any delay caused by any action, inaction, order, ruling, moratorium, regulation, statute, condition or other decision of any private party or governmental agency having jurisdiction over any portion of the Project, over the construction anticipated to occur thereon or over any uses thereof, or by delays in inspections or in issuing approvals by private parties or permits by governmental agencies, or by fire, flood, inclement weather, strikes, lockouts or other labor or industrial disturbance (whether or not on the part of agents or employees of either party hereto engaged in the construction of the Premises), civil disturbance, order of any government, court or regulatory body claiming jurisdiction or otherwise, act of public enemy, war, riot, sabotage, blockage, embargo, failure or inability to secure materials, supplies or labor through ordinary sources by reason of shortages or priority, discovery of hazardous or toxic materials, earthquake, or other natural disaster, delays caused by any dispute resolution process, or any cause whatsoever beyond the reasonable control (excluding financial inability) of the party whose performance is required, or any of its contractors or other representatives, whether or not similar to any of the causes hereinabove stated.

18.14    Addenda.  The Addenda attached hereto, if any, and identified with this Lease are incorporated herein by this reference as if fully set forth herein.

		
	19.
	NET RENT ABATEMENT PERIOD.  

Tenant's obliga-tion to pay Net Rent for the Premises shall be abated during the first four months of the Term (the "Net Rent Abatement Period"), which the parties anticipate will begin on April 1, 2013 and end on July 31, 2013.  However, if Landlord's Work (defined in the Work Letter) is not completed by April 1, 2013, then the Commencement Date and the Net Rent Abatement Period and the Rent Commencement Date will be correspondingly extended by the same number of days.  Other than during the Net Rent Abatement Period, and as except as set forth herein, Tenant shall pay Net Rent as and when due under this Lease.  Such abatement during the Net Rent Abatement Period shall apply to Net Rent only and shall not apply to Additional Rent payable under this Lease at any time during the Term.

21.2    Exercise of Option and Delivery of Expansion Area.  Promptly following Tenant's exercise of the Expansion Option pursuant hereto, the parties shall meet and work in good faith to reach agreement within thirty (30) days thereafter.

21.3    Lease Terms.  The Expansion Area shall be leased upon the same terms and conditions applicable to the original Premises, with the following provisions:

21.3.1    Tenant shall lease the Expansion Area for a term of not less than three (3) years and shall be coterminous with and at the same then current Net Rent as the original Premises.

21.3.2    The annual Net Rent payable for the Expansion Area shall commence on the date of occupancy by Tenant following execution of an amendment to this lease (the “Expansion Area Commencement Date”).  
    
21.3.3    Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes.  In addition to the Net Rent for the Expansion Area, Tenant shall be responsible for its prorata share of Additional Rent on the Expansion area which will include all Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes as defined in the Original Lease starting from the Expansion Area commencement date.

	OPTION TO TERMINATE LEASE.  

Provided Tenant is not then in an uncured monetary default, Tenant may terminate this Lease in its entirety (the “Termination Option”) effective on July 31, 2018 (the last day of the sixty-forth (64th) full calendar month of the Term; the “Early Termination Date”) by delivering written notice of its intent to terminate this Lease (the “Termination Notice”) to Landlord on or before January 31, 2018 (the last day of the fifth-eighth (58th) full calendar month of the Term) and payment of the Termination Fee (as defined below) to Landlord within ninety (90) days after the date of Tenant's Termination Notice.

shall terminate as of the Early Termination Date.  The “Termination Fee” shall be $394,295; which the parties agree is the sum of the unamortized balance of the allowance available to Tenant (as indicated herein in Exhibit B-1),  two months Net Rent and the  portion of the Brokerage Commissions paid on the 6th and 7th year of the full lease term.  Tenant shall deliver the Premises to Landlord on or before the Early Termination Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 18.8.2 of this Lease the same as if such Early Termination Date were the original expiration date of the Term of this Lease.  If Tenant properly exercises the Termination Option, such termination shall not affect Tenant's liability for (i) post-Term adjustments in Taxes and Operating Expenses applicable to the period prior to the Early Termination Date; (ii) obligations which accrue prior to the Early Termination Date; and (iii) obligations which by their terms survive the Early Termination Date.

		
	23.
	RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

Provided Tenant is not in an uncured monetary default at the time of notice, Landlord will notify Tenant of any third party's counteroffer or letter of intent to lease any specific amount of square footage available for lease in the Building (the “Additional Space”).  Tenant shall have ten (10) business days in which to notify Landlord of its intent to lease at least the same amount of square footage.  If Tenant elects to lease the Additional Space, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease within ten (10) business days, based upon the same terms and conditions as outlined in the Option to Expand as indicated in Section 21.1 herein.  Tenant agrees to keep any information regarding the prospective tenant confidential.  This right is on-going and shall continue in force in each and every instance in which Landlord has a prospective party seriously interested in any available space within the Building.  This Right of First Refusal terminates April 1, 2016 or sooner if Tenant vacates Premises.  

		
	24.
	COUNTERPARTS.  

This Lease may be signed in counterparts, and when all counterpart documents are signed, they will constitute a single binding instrument.

1.The Lease is in full force and effect and has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended in any way.

2.To the best knowledge of the Landlord, neither the Obligor nor the Landlord is in default under the Lease, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default under the Lease.

3.The Landlord agrees that:  (a) the Agent's lien upon or security interest in the Collateral is prior and superior to any interest, lien or claim of any nature the Landlord may now have or hereafter obtain in the Collateral whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise and the Landlord hereby subordinates to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, any rights, liens or claims it has with respect to the Collateral; (b) either the Obligor or the Agent may enter the Premises and remove the Collateral from the Premises at any time without hindrance on the part of the Landlord, provided that the Agent shall be responsible for any damage to the Landlord's property as the result of such removal; and (c) the Landlord shall deem the Collateral to be personal property and not fixtures, notwithstanding the manner or mode of the attachment of the Collateral to the land.

4.The Landlord shall send to the Agent (in the manner provided herein) a copy of any notice or statement sent to the Obligor by the Landlord asserting a default under the Lease.  Such copy shall be sent to the Agent at the same time such notice or statement is sent to the Obligor.  Notices shall be sent to the Agent by prepaid, registered or certified mail, addressed to the Agent at the following address, or such other address as the Agent shall designate to the Landlord in writing:

Attention:  Andrew A. Doherty 
Telephone:  (404) 607-3219
Telecopy:  (312) 453-4665

5.The Landlord shall not terminate the Lease or pursue any other right or remedy under the Lease by reason of any default of the Obligor under the Lease, until the Landlord shall have given a copy of such written notice to the Agent as provided above and, in the event any such default is not cured by the Obligor within any time period provided for under the terms and conditions of the Lease, the Landlord will allow the Agent (a) thirty (30) 

G-1

days from the expiration of the Obligor's cure period under the Lease within which the Agent shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to remedy such act, omission or other default and Landlord will accept such performance by the Agent and (b) up to an additional ninety (90) days to occupy the Premises; provided that during such period of occupation the Agent shall pay to the Landlord the basic rent due under the Lease pro-rated on a per diem basis determined on a 30-day month (provided, that such rent shall exclude any rent adjustments, indemnity payments or similar amounts payable under the Lease for default, holdover status or similar charges).

6.The agreements contained herein shall continue in force until all of Obligor's obligations and liabilities to the Lenders and the Agent are paid and satisfied in full and all financing and/or security arrangements among the Lenders, the Agent and the Obligor have been terminated.

7.The undersigned will notify all successor owners, transferees, purchasers and mortgagees of the Premises of the existence of this agreement.  The agreements contained herein may not be modified or terminated orally and shall be binding upon the successors, assigns and personal representatives of the undersigned, upon any successor owner or transferee of the Premises, and upon any purchasers, including any mortgagee, from the undersigned.

If Lender or any other party succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease in any manner, including but not limited to foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale, succession by deed in lieu or other conveyance (a “Succession”), Tenant will attorn to and be bound to such party (whether Lender or another party) upon such Succession and will recognize Lender or such other party as the landlord under the Lease.  Any such attornment will be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument, so long as the successor delivers written notice (including appropriate evidence of the Succession) to Tenant. Tenant  waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law that which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect the Lease and the obligations of Tenant as a result of any proceeding in connection with the Mortgage, including foreclosure or trustee's sale.

However, each party succeeding as Landlord after any Succession shall be liable for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord under the Lease during the period such party owns the Demised Premises.
