        (a)  Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that the "Usable Area" square footages of the Building and the Premises
have been calculated by Sublandlord in accordance with standards of measurement adopted by the Building Owners and Managers Association, American Standard, ANSI/BOMA Z.65.1-1996, as
modified by Sublandlord for uniform use in the Building, and said square footage figures provided in this Sublease shall be final and binding on Sublandlord and Subtenant for all purposes under this
Sublease; provided, however, Sublandlord reserves the right to adjust the square footage figures of those areas outside of the Premises based on modifications or alterations to the Building, as
evidenced by written verification of Sublandlord's space planner as to the revised rentable square footage figures. "Rentable Area" shall mean the product of (a) the Usable Area of the space to
be measured, calculated as described above, times (b) 1.15. Any such adjustment in square footage shall be imposed on a uniform basis among substantially all tenants occupying space in the
Building. 

        (b)  Subject to Section 2.8(a) above, the "Rentable Area of the Building" shall mean 719,000 square feet. If the
Rentable Area of the Premises or the Building is reduced as a result of a partial taking in eminent domain or other circumstance (each a "Redetermination Event") then the Rentable Area of the

planner or architect for purposes of this Sublease, in a manner consistent with the measurement standards set forth in Section Z8(a). In such event, "Subtenant's Share" shall be adjusted to the
percentage that the Rentable Area of the Premises bears to the Rentable Area of the Building following such redetermination. 

 
 

ARTICLE 3
  RENT    
  

 
          3.1    Rents.     Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord the following rents for the
Premises during the Sublease Term (collectively, the "Rents"): (a) a Basic Rent per annum in
the amount specified in Section 1.4, which shall be due and payable in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Sublease Term
commencing on the date that is sixty (60) days from the Commencement Date as such date is extended by Sublandlord delays (as that term is defined in Exhibit A attached hereto), and
(b) additional charges ("Additional Charges") consisting of all other sums of money payable by Subtenant under the terms of this Sublease. 

 
          3.2    Payment.     Subtenant shall pay the Rents when due, without notice or demand,
and without any abatement, deduction or setoff, except for abatement rights specifically set
forth in this Sublease. Subtenant's first installment of monthly Basic Rent hereunder shall be due and payable on the date of full execution and delivery of this Sublease. Subtenant shall pay the
Rents in lawful money of the United States, to Sublandlord at its office in the Building (1200 West 7th Street, Los Angeles, California 90071, Attention: Building Manager) or to such other person or
place as Sublandlord may designate in writing from time to time. If Subtenant pays Rents by check, the check must clear within five (5) business days of delivery to the bank for processing.
Basic Rent for periods less than a full calendar month shall be prorated based on the actual number of days in said partial month and the actual number of days in the entire month. 

 
          3.3    Partial Payment.     No payment by Subtenant or receipt or acceptance by
Sublandlord of a lesser amount than the correct Basic Rent or Additional Charges due shall be deemed to be
other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Sublandlord may accept
such check or payment without prejudice to Sublandlord's right to recover the balance, treat such partial payment as a default or pursue any other remedy provided in this Sublease or at law. 

 
          3.4    Late Charge.     Subtenant acknowledges that the late payment of Rents will
cause Sublandlord to incur damages, including administrative costs, loss of use of the overdue funds
and other costs, the exact amount of which would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, if Sublandlord does not receive a payment of Rents within ten (10) days after
the date that such payment is due, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord on demand, as Additional Charges, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount; provided, however, after the
first such late payment in any twelve (12) month period where a late charge is imposed, Sublandlord shall be entitled to impose "a late charge in connection with any subsequent late payment in
said twelve (12) month period if the payment is not received within three (3) days after the date that such payment is due. Acceptance of the late charge by Sublandlord shall not cure.
or waive Subtenant's default, nor prevent Sublandlord from exercising, before or after such acceptance, any of the rights and remedies for a default provided by this Sublease or at law. Payment of the
late charge is not an alternative means of performance of Subtenant's obligation to pay Rents at the times specified in this Sublease.

gross revenues (determined in accordance with GAAP) from the Building, shall not exceed the 

6

 

then-prevailing rate for management fees for comparable buildings for executive/administrative office operations located in downtown Los Angeles ("Comparable Buildings"). 

        (iv)    Costs
of capital improvements and replacements (and all tools and equipment related thereto) made after the Base Year which are intended to reduce Costs of Operation or
are for the direct or indirect benefit of all or substantially all of the tenants or of the Building ("Capital Improvements"), amortized over the useful life of such improvements on a straight line
basis, including imputed interest at the rate announced from time to time by the Los Angeles Main Office of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as its "Reference Rate" (referred to herein as the "Prime Rate") as
of December 31st of the year in which the expenditure is made, plus 2% per annum, or, if greater, the actual interest charges paid by Sublandlord (the "Agreed Rate"). 

        (v)    Rentals

taxes, duties, charges, levies and assessments (such as sales, license, use, excise and utility taxes or fees) which are expensed as a part of the maintenance,
management or operation of the Building, but which are not included in Taxes (as defined in Section 4.1(d)). It is understood and agreed that Taxes are not included in Costs of Operation under
this Sublease, as they are treated separately for purposes of calculating Additional Charges hereunder. 

        (vii)    Fees
paid to any parking facility operator and compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other persons in the Parking Garage. 

 
          (b)    Costs of Operation—Exclusions.     Costs of Operation shall exclude the

Operation pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(1v);

        (v)    Costs
(including permit, license and inspection costs) incurred for installation of tenant improvements made for tenants or other occupants of the Building or incurred
in renovating or otherwise improving, decorating, painting or redecorating vacant space for tenants or other occupants of the Building;

7

 

        (viii)    Costs
and expenses otherwise includable in Costs of Operation, to the extent that Sublandlord is directly reimbursed (or is required to be reimbursed under the terms
of a binding lease or other agreement) for such costs and expenses by tenants (i.e., other than by paying a share of Costs of Operation), or other sources; 

        (ix)    Costs
incurred by Sublandlord in providing services, utilities, or other benefits to other tenants or occupants of the Building which are not offered to Subtenant or

Operation), such as premises (as opposed to Common Area) janitorial services, HVAC services and electricity; 

        (x)    Advertising
and promotional expenses; 

        (xi)    Electric

costs associated with excess utility use by other tenants or occupants of the Building not reimbursed by such tenants or occupants; 

        (xii)    Fines,
penalties and interest and awards incurred solely as a result of Sublandlord's negligent or intentional failure to make payments when due or due to violations
of law by Sublandlord; 

        (xiii)    The
wages and benefits of any employee of Sublandlord who does not devote substantially all of his or her employed time to the Building, unless such wages and
benefits are prorated to reflect time spent on matters related to the operation and management of the Building versus time spent on matters unrelated to the operation and management of the Building; 

        (xiv)    Salaries
and benefits of Sublandlord's executives above the grade of building manager and/or building engineer;

incurred in removing and storing the property of former tenants or occupants of the Building; 

        (xvii)    Costs
incurred in the original construction of the Building, the correction of construction defects as a consequence thereof, or in connection with a major change in

        (xviii)    Overhead

same materially exceeds the costs of such goods and/or services rendered by unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis; 

        (xix)    Any

        (xxiii)    Costs
incurred to cure violations of codes, laws or regulations (or cure lack of compliance with codes, laws or regulations), including, without limitation, the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. 12102 et. seq., as amended (the "ADA"), to the extent such violations or lack of compliance exists at the Building as of the Commencement Date. 

        (xxiv)    Costs,
fees and compensation paid to Sublandlord or to its affiliates or subsidiaries of Sublandlord for services and materials to the extent the same exceeds the
charges for comparable services and materials performed or provided by unaffiliated entities of comparable stature and reputation and on a competitive basis; and 

 
          (c)    Costs of Operation—Adjustments.     Costs of Operation shall be
calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), consistently applied. If during any period in the Base
Year or a Comparison Year the Building is not 95% occupied, the Costs of Operation which vary with occupancy for such year shall be adjusted to what they would have been if 95% of the Building had
been occupied throughout such year, as estimated in good faith by Sublandlord. Sublandlord further agrees to calculate the management fee for the Building in the Base Year assuming that the Building
is 95% leased, with all tenants paying rent. 

 
          (d)    Taxes.     "Taxes" means, in the Base Year and in any Comparison Year, all of
the following definition: (1) all taxes, general and special assessments, duties,
charges and levies of every kind, character and description whatsoever, levied, imposed or charged upon or against the Land and the Building or any part thereof or the various estates therein or upon
Sublandlord with respect thereto, including all taxes and assessments levied for any public transit system; (2) all taxes levied, imposed or charged on real and personal property used in the
operation, maintenance or management of the Building or any part thereof; (3) all taxes levied, imposed or charged against or measured by or based upon the value of, or the rent payable by
lessees and occupants of, the Building or any part thereof; (4) all other taxes of every kind, character and description whatsoever, from time to time levied, imposed or charged in the future
in lieu of or as substitute, in whole or in part, for any Taxes described in clauses (1), (2) or (3) or for which Sublandlord is liable with respect to the Building; and (5) all
costs and expenses (including reasonable legal and other professional fees and interest on deferred payments) incurred by Sublandlord in contesting the amount, validity or applicability of any of the
foregoing. Taxes shall not include Sublandlord's income, franchise, gift, estate, inheritance, transfer, excise or excess-profits taxes except to the extent that any such specified types of taxes are
levied in whole or partial substitution for any Taxes. All Taxes shall be paid in installments if permitted by the taxing public agency, and such installments shall be charged to Taxes when paid. If
any Taxes of a type described in clauses (3) or (4) of this Section 4.1(d) are now or hereafter levied, imposed or charged, for purposes of this Sublease, the amount of such Taxes
shall be based on the assumptions that the Building is the only commercial building owned and operated by Sublandlord and that the rental or other income received by Sublandlord from the Building is
the only rental and income received by Sublandlord. If the Taxes for any Comparison Year are changed as a result of a protest, appeal or other action taken by a taxing authority, the Taxes as so
changed shall be deemed the Taxes for such Comparison Year, and Sublandlord shall deliver a revised statement of actual Taxes for the affected calendar year or years to Subtenant. If such change
reduces the Additional Charges payable by Subtenant on account of Taxes for any Comparison Year to less than the Additional Charges theretofore actually paid by Subtenant on account of Taxes for such
Comparison Year, Sublandlord shall promptly pay the difference to Subtenant or credit such amount against Rents thereafter coming due hereunder. If any change increases the Additional Charges payable
by Subtenant on account of Taxes for any Comparison Year to more than the Additional Charges theretofore actually paid by Subtenant on account of Taxes for such Comparison Year, Subtenant, upon
receipt of Sublandlord's 

9

 

revised statement showing the amount of such excess, shall promptly pay such excess to Sublandlord. Nothing herein shall obligate Sublandlord to bring any application or proceeding seeking a
reduction in Taxes or assessed valuation. 

 
          4.2    Adjustment of Rents.     

 
          (a)    Costs of Operation.     If, for any Comparison Year, Subtenant's Share of
Costs of Operation exceeds the product of Base Costs of Operation multiplied by the Rentable Area of the
Premises, Subtenant shall pay the excess to Sublandlord as Additional Charges. It is understood and agreed that if, as a result of deregulation in the utilities industry, there occurs during a
Comparison Year a reduction in the cost of electricity below the level of such costs during the Base Year, it is agreed for purposes of this Sublease (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein) that electricity charges included within Costs of Operation will in no event be reduced to a level lower than the level of electricity charges included within Costs of Operation during
Subtenant's Base Year and such reduction below the amount of electricity charges in the Base Year shall not be applied to other expenses included within Costs of Operation. For purposes of
clarification, if electricity charges for any subsequent Comparison Year remain at a level below the level of Base Year electricity charges, electricity charges for such subsequent Comparison Year
shall be deemed to be at the level of Base Year electricity charges. 

 
          (b)    Taxes.     If, for any Comparison Year, Subtenant's Share of Taxes exceeds the
product of Base Taxes multiplied by the Rentable Area of the Premises, Subtenant shall pay the
excess to Sublandlord as Additional Charges. 

 
          (c)    Manner of Payment; Sublandlord's Estimates.     Subtenant shall pay Additional
Charges pursuant to Sections 4.2(a) and (b) in the following manner: 

        (i)    Prior
to the commencement of each Comparison Year during the Sublease Term, or as soon after such commencement as reasonably possible, Sublandlord shall furnish to
Subtenant statements showing Sublandlord's reasonable estimates of the Costs of Operation and Taxes for such Comparison Year, and the amount of any Additional Charges payable by Subtenant based on
such estimates. 

        (ii)    On
or before the first day of each calendar month of each Comparison Year, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount
of the estimated Additional Charges due from Subtenant for such Comparison Year for the Costs of Operation and Taxes, as shown by the statement furnished by Sublandlord, provided, however, that
(1) the Additional Charges payable by Subtenant for any partial Comparison Year shall be prorated based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days in such partial Comparison
Year, and (2) on the first day of each calendar month during such partial Comparison Year, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord a sum equal to the total estimated Additional Charges due from
Subtenant for that partial Comparison Year (prorated as described above) divided by the number of calendar months in that partial Comparison Year (counting any fractional calendar month as a whole
month). 

        (iii)    If
Sublandlord's statement is furnished after January 1 of a Comparison Year, then until such statement is received, Subtenant shall continue to pay estimated
Additional Charges based on Sublandlord's most recent statement. On or before the first day of the first calendar month following Subtenant's receipt of Sublandlord's statement, in addition to the
monthly installment of estimated Additional Charges for the Comparison Year due on that date, Subtenant shall pay the difference, if
any, between the estimated Additional Charges for the period that has already elapsed in that Comparison Year, as set forth in Sublandlord's statement, and the estimated Additional Charges already
paid by Subtenant for such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Subtenant receives Sublandlord's statement less than fifteen (15) days prior to the first day of the next calendar month
thereafter, Subtenant shall pay the 

10

 

differential amount described above, if any, within thirty (30) days following receipt of such statement. 

        (iv)    During
the Sublease Term (but not more frequently than quarterly), Sublandlord may revise its estimate of Costs of Operation if evidence is received indicating higher
or lower Costs of Operation than the previous estimate, and Sublandlord may revise its estimate of Taxes for such Year upon receipt of any tax bill or notification of assessed value. The estimated
Additional Charges on account of Costs of Operation and Taxes, and the installment payments made pursuant to clause (ii) shall be adjusted as necessary so that, as nearly as possible, by the
end of the Comparison Year, Subtenant shall have paid all Additional Charges on account of Costs of Operation and Taxes, based on such revised estimates. 

 
          (d)    Final Statement.     Following the end of each Comparison Year, Sublandlord
shall furnish to Subtenant a final statement of actual Costs of Operation and Taxes for that Comparison
Year. Sublandlord shall endeavor to furnish said statement to Subtenant by April I of each Comparison Year (after the first Comparison Year). Within thirty (30) days of presentation of the
final statement for any Comparison Year, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord, as Additional Charges, any amount due for Subtenant's Share of Taxes and Costs of Operation. Any credit due Subtenant for
overpayment of Subtenant's Share of Taxes and Costs of Operation shall be credited against the monthly installments of Basic Rent next coming due (except that Sublandlord shall refund to Subtenant the
amount of any such credit for the final Comparison Year in the Sublease Term to the extent that no amounts are then owing by Subtenant hereunder). Subtenant shall have 120 days after
presentation of Sublandlord's statement of actual Taxes and Costs of Operation within which to object or question in writing to the accuracy of the statement in accordance with the terms of subsection
(e) below; unless Subtenant so objects within said 120-day period, Sublandlord's statement shall be conclusive and binding on Subtenant. Objection by Subtenant shall not excuse or
abate Subtenant's obligation to make the payments required by this Section 4.2 pending resolution of Subtenant's objection. 

 
          (e)    Examination Right.     

        (i)    Within
one hundred eighty (180) days after presentation of Sublandlord's final statement of Costs of Operation and Taxes for any Comparison Year, Subtenant shall
have the right to examine, or to have its duly authorized agent ("Subtenant's Representative") examine, those of Sublandlord's books, accounts and records that reasonably relate to the verification of
actual Costs of Operation and Taxes for that Comparison Year ("Records"), in order to determine the accuracy thereof. In making such examination, Subtenant shall keep confidential, and shall cause
Subtenant's Representative to agree to keep confidential, any and all information contained in such Records, and the circumstances and details pertaining to such examination and inspection and any
dispute or settlement between Sublandlord and Subtenant arising therefrom or relating thereto, except for such disclosure as may be required by law or to any subtenants or assignees. Subtenant, and
Subtenant's Representative shall confirm such agreement in a separate written agreement, if requested by Sublandlord. Upon execution of such a
confidentiality agreement by Subtenant and Subtenant's Representative, Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with copies, at Subtenant's expense, of such Records as Subtenant or Subtenant's
Representative request. 

        (ii)    If
Subtenant commences such an examination within such period, Subtenant shall have the right to object to the accuracy of Sublandlord's final statement by submitting a
detailed written statement of such objections to Sublandlord no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the conduct of said examination. Sublandlord and Subtenant shall attempt in good
faith to resolve any such objection. If the objection cannot be resolved by mutual agreement within 30 days after the end of such objection period, then a CPA mutually acceptable to Sublandlord
and Subtenant (the "Arbiter") shall audit the actual Costs of Operation and/or Taxes for the Comparison Year covered by Sublandlord's statement (which audit shall be limited to the items in dispute),
and the Arbiter's findings shall be conclusive and binding upon Sublandlord and Subtenant. 

11

  

        (iii)    If
the figure for Costs of Operation and Taxes in Sublandlord's final statement exceeds actual Costs of Operation and Taxes by more than ten percent (10%) for any
given year, then Sublandlord shall pay the Arbiter's fees and costs. Otherwise, Subtenant shall pay the Arbiter's fees and costs. In either case, if the Costs of Operation and Taxes, as determined by
the Arbiter, differ from the amount indicated in Sublandlord's statement, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord any Additional Charges owing on account of an increase in Costs of Operation and Taxes, while
Subtenant shall receive a credit against Basic Rent (or, for the final Comparison Year in the Sublease Term, a refund) for any overpayment of Additional Charges resulting from a reduction of Costs or
Taxes. 

 
          (f)    Delay.     Delay in rendering a statement of actual Costs of Operation or Taxes
shall not prejudice Sublandlord's right to thereafter render such statement, nor shall the
rendering of any statement of actual Costs of Operation or Taxes prejudice Sublandlord's right to thereafter render a corrected statement. 

 
 

ARTICLE 5
  SECURITY DEPOSIT    
  

 
          5.1    Letter of Credit.     

        (a)  Concurrent with Subtenant's execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord an assignable,
irrevocable, direct pay letter of credit, in form and substance acceptable to Sublandlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, which letter of credit shall name Sublandlord as beneficiary, shall be
issued by a national or state bank, acceptable to Sublandlord in its reasonable discretion, and shall be in the amount of $400,000 (the "Letter of Credit"), representing the security deposit
("Security Deposit") under this Sublease. The Security Deposit shall be held by Sublandlord as security for the faithful performance by Subtenant of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this
Sublease to be kept and performed by Subtenant during the Sublease Term. The Security Deposit shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered in any manner whatsoever by Subtenant without the prior
written consent of Sublandlord. If Subtenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Sublease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rents, Sublandlord may,
but shall not be required to, use, apply, retain or draw on all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rents or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount that
Sublandlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Subtenant's default, or to compensate Sublandlord for any
other loss or damage that Sublandlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant's default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Subtenant shall, within five (5) days after
written demand therefor, (i) if the Security Deposit is a letter of credit, deliver a replacement letter of credit to Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Letter of Credit (or any
renewals, extensions or replacements thereof, as applicable) to the original amount, or, (ii) if the Security Deposit is cash, deposit cash with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore
the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Subtenant's failure to do so shall be a default under this Sublease. The use, application, retention or draw of the Security Deposit, or any portion
thereof, by Sublandlord shall not prevent Sublandlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Sublease or by law, it being intended that Sublandlord shall not first be required to
proceed against the Security Deposit, nor operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Sublandlord may otherwise be entitled. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord has the right to transfer or
mortgage its interest in the Building and in this Sublease and Subtenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer or mortgage, Sublandlord shall have the right to transfer or assign the Security
Deposit to the transferee or mortgagee. In connection therewith, Subtenant shall perform all acts necessary, as reasonably determined by Sublandlord, to assure the timely assignment of the Security
Deposit to such transferee or mortgagee, including, without limitation, causing the issuing bank to execute an amendment to the then current letter of credit, or to issue a replacement letter of
credit in the amount set forth above, and, in either 

12

 

event, naming such transferee or mortgagee as beneficiary thereunder. Upon such transfer or assignment of the Security Deposit, Sublandlord shall thereby be released by Subtenant from all liability
or obligation for the return of such Security Deposit and Subtenant shall look solely to such transferee or mortgagee for the return of the Security Deposit. 

        (b)  The term of the Letter of Credit and any and all renewals, extensions, or replacements thereof shall be for a period of
not less than one (1) year. Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a renewal, extension or replacement Letter of Credit, in the amount such forth above, at least thirty (30) days prior
to the expiration date set forth in the then current Letter of Credit. Sublandlord agrees to surrender each Letter of Credit and return same to Subtenant immediately upon receipt of a renewal,
extension or replacement Letter of Credit, except to the extent that such extension or renewal is evidenced by a separate instrument (e.g. an amendment) to be attached to the then existing Letter of
Credit. The Letter of Credit (and any extensions, renewals or replacements) shall provide that Sublandlord shall be entitled to the full draw thereunder at any time during such thirty (30) day
period, if Sublandlord has not received timely (i.e. prior to the commencement of such 30-day period) such renewal, extension or replacement Letter of Credit. Upon Subtenant's failure to
furnish timely such renewal, extension or replacement Letter of Credit (i.e., 30 days prior to the expiration of the then current Letter of Credit), Sublandlord, in addition to any other rights
and remedies it has hereunder, shall be entitled to draw the full amount thereof. In addition, the Letter of Credit, as same is extended, renewed or replaced, shall be in full force and effect
continuously during Sublease Term and shall not expire until at least thirty (30) days following the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease. If Subtenant shall fully and faithfully
perform every provision of this Sublease to be performed by it, the then current Letter of Credit (or other consideration then held as a Security Deposit hereunder) shall be returned to Subtenant, or,
at Sublandlord's option, to the last assignee of Subtenant's interest hereunder, within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Sublease Term. 

 
          5.2    Reduction.     Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the first day of the month in
which the fourth anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs, and on the first day of the month of
each succeeding anniversary of the Commencement Date, so long as no default by Subtenant has occurred hereunder which remains
uncured beyond any applicable notice and cure period, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be reduced by $100,000 each year through the Sublease Term (thus, for example purposes only, commencing
with the beginning of the fifth year of the Sublease Term the amount of the Letter of Credit will be $300,000) until the Letter of Credit amount is reduced to $0.00, whereupon Landlord shall surrender
the then current Letter of Credit to Tenant. Solely with respect to non-monetary defaults (being defined as a default not involving the failure to pay Rents or any other charge payable to
Sublandlord under the terms of this Sublease), if and when Subtenant cures and previous default that has prevented a reduction in the letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 5.2, the
letter of Credit shall be reduced to the amount that would have been in effect had there been no such default as of the applicable date of reduction; provided, however, upon the occurrence of a
monetary default by Subtenant under this Sublease which is not cured within the applicable notice and cure period, Subtenant shall not be entitled to any further reduction in the amount of the Letter
of Credit, notwithstanding any subsequent cure thereof. 

 
 

ARTICLE 6
  USE AND COMPLIANCE WITH LAW    
  

 
          6.1    Permitted Use.     

        (a)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Sublease, Subtenant shall use and occupy the Premises for the installation,
operation and maintenance of telecommunications systems and related equipment and signal reception and transmission facilities, including, but not limited to, a local and long distance switch and
customer co-location facilities subject to the terms of Section 19.3, together with general administrative and executive office purposes, all as permitted by applicable laws, rules
and 

13

 

regulations. Such permitted uses shall be collectively referred to in this Sublease as the "Permitted Use". Subtenant shall obtain, maintain and comply with the terms and conditions of all licenses
and permits required by law for the uses permitted hereunder. 

        (b)  Subject to Subtenant's compliance with the terms of this Sublease, Subtenant shall have access to the Building and the
Parking Garage 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year, subject to temporary, full or partial closures which may be required from time to time for construction,
maintenance, repairs, actual or threatened emergency or other events or circumstances which make it reasonably necessary to temporarily restrict or limit access. 

        (c)  The parties acknowledge that Subtenant wishes to market its telecommunications services to tenants of the Building.
Subtenant shall be permitted to contact tenants of the Building for such purposes, but shall neither use Sublandlord's name in doing so, nor otherwise state or imply any endorsement of
Subtenant's services by Sublandlord or by any of Sublandlord's Affiliates, and Sublandlord reserves the right to approve (not to be unreasonably withheld) any promotional material used by Subtenant in
such marketing to the tenants of the Building in order to ensure compliance with the terms of this Sublease. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Subtenant shall not utilize any
Common Areas of the Building for marketing without the express written consent of Sublandlord (which Sublandlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion), and may not conduct unsolicited
door-to-door marketing, or any telemarketing activities in the Building. It is also expressly understood that any connecting cabling, wiring, or other equipment that Subtenant
or any tenant wishes to install connecting to a tenant's premises in the Building shall be subject to Sublandlord's approval in accordance with the terms and conditions of the particular tenant's
lease to whom such service is intended to be provided, and no rights, express or implied, with respect thereto are granted by this Agreement. 

 
          6.2    Prohibited Uses.     

        (a)  Without limiting the generality of Section 6.1, Subtenant shall not at any time use or occupy or allow any person
to use or occupy the Premises or the Common Area or do or permit anything to be done or kept in the Premises or the Common Area in any manner which: (i) violates any certificate of occupancy in
force for the Premises, the Building or any part thereof; (ii) causes or is likely to cause damage to the Building or any part thereof or any equipment, facilities or other systems therein;
(iii) constitutes a violation of law; (iv) violates a requirement or condition of the standard fire insurance policy issued for office buildings in the City of Los Angeles;
(v) impairs the character, reputation, image or appearance of the Building as a first-class office building for back office operations; (vi) impairs the proper and economic maintenance,
operation or repair of the Building or any part thereof; (vii) constitutes a nuisance, annoyance or inconvenience to other lessees or occupants of the Building or unreasonably interferes with
or disrupts the use or occupancy of any area of the Building (other than the Premises) by other lessees or occupants; (viii) interferes with the transmission or reception of microwave,
television, radio or other communications signals by antennae located on the roof or elsewhere in the Building or the operations or signals of any other tenant, occupant or other user of the Building;
(ix) results in repeated demonstrations, bomb threats or other events which require evacuation of any part of the Building or otherwise disrupt the use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment thereof by
other lessees and occupants. By its execution of this Sublease, Sublandlord confirms that the Permitted Use does not, in and of itself, violate or trigger the default under the provisions of clauses
(v) and (vii) above. In determining whether Subtenant has taken any action inconsistent with or in violation of the foregoing, all relevant facts and circumstances shall be taken into
account, including the actual features of Subtenant's Premises and the effects of Subtenant's operations on portions of the Building and operations outside the Premises. Subtenant shall not use or
allow the use of any part of the Premises for: (1) a restaurant or bar; (2) the storage, manufacture or sale of food, beverages, liquor, tobacco in any form or drugs (except that
Subtenant may maintain vending machines for the use of its officers, employees and invitees and except that Subtenant's officers 

14

 

and employees may bring food, beverages, tobacco and medicine onto the Premises for their personal and lawful consumption); (3) the storage use, treatment, manufacture or sale of Hazardous
Substances (as defined below), other than normal office supplies; (4) the business of photocopying or, offset printing (but Subtenant may use part of the Premises for photocopying or offset
printing for its own business); (5) medical or dental offices or laboratories; (6) a typing or stenography business; (7) a barber, beauty or manicure shop; (8) a school or
classroom except for Subtenant's internal training activities; (9) the manufacture, retail sale or auction of merchandise, goods or property of any kind; or
(10) cooking (except that Subtenant may maintain coffee or lunch rooms with coffee makers and microwave ovens for the exclusive use of Subtenant's officers, employees and invitees), lodging or
sleeping. No excessive or unreasonable noise, vibration or odor shall be permitted to escape from the Premises. For purposes of this Sublease, the term "Hazardous Substances" shall mean
(w) asbestos; (x) urea formaldehyde foam insulation; (y) transformers or other equipment which contain dielectric fluid containing levels of polychlorinated biphenyls in excess of
50 parts per million; or (z) any other chemical, material, substance, compound or other matter of any kind whatsoever prohibited, limited or regulated by any Federal, State, County, regional or
local authority or legislation, including the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 6901 et seq. and the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et seq., the Emergency Planning and Community. Right-To-Know Act, as amended, 42
U.S.C. §§ 11001 et seq., the regulations promulgated from time to time thereunder, environmental laws administered by the Environmental Protection Agency and similar laws and
regulations of the State of California, City of Los Angeles or any other governmental organization or agency having jurisdiction over any portion of the Building. Sublandlord confirms, to the best of
its actual knowledge, that the Building does not contain asbestos or other Hazardous Substances as of the date of this Sublease, provided, however, a slight soil contamination condition occurred
outside of the Building near Eighth Street a few years ago and has been remediated in accordance with applicable Federal, State and local laws, ordinances and regulations. 

        (b)  Subtenant shall have no right of access to, or to the use or occupancy of, any portion of, the roof of the Building. 

 
          6.3    Compliance by Sublandlord.     Sublandlord confirms, to Sublandlord's actual
knowledge, that the Building complies with all codes, laws and regulations (including, without limitation, handicap
access laws and environmental laws) applicable to the Building as of the date of this Sublease. As used herein, the "actual knowledge" of Sublandlord shall mean the actual current knowledge of
Barbara-Reeve-Bailey, in her capacity as an officer of Sublandlord, without any duty of inquiry or investigation and without having any personal liability therefor. In the event of a breach of, or of
non-compliance with, the foregoing covenant, Subtenant's sole remedy shall be to require Sublandlord to perform such repairs and work so as to bring the Building and the Premises into such
code-compliant condition as is required by the applicable governmental agency, and Subtenant waives any right to rent abatement, set-off and to any right to terminate this
Sublease by reason of any such condition. 

 
          6.4    Compliance by Subtenant.     Subtenant shall promptly forward to Sublandlord
any notice it receives of the violation of any law involving the Premises or its use and occupancy by Subtenant or
any other parties. Subtenant shall, at Subtenant's expense, comply with all present and future laws and requirements relating to the use of the Premises that impose any obligation, order or duty on
Sublandlord or Subtenant in respect of the Premises or any fixtures, equipment or other property contained therein, other than any obligation, order or duty requiring alteration to the structural
elements (i.e., roof, slab, beams, skin and load-bearing walls) of the Building or to the Building systems (i.e., HVAC, plumbing, electrical, water and
fire-life-safety systems) outside the point of connection to the Premises. Subtenant shall also be responsible for the cost of compliance with all laws and requirements
(including upgrades in order to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA") mandated to the Premises or in the Common Area of the Building if and to the extent triggered by 

15

 

Subtenant's Work or any Alterations within the Premises or Subtenant's business operations or to the extent triggered by any work performed by Subtenant after the completion of Subtenant's Work) that
impose any obligation, order or duty on Sublandlord or Subtenant in respect of the Land or the Building, arising from or related to: (a) Subtenant's particular use of the Premises (other than
normal office uses); (b) the manner of conduct of Subtenant's business or operation of its installations, equipment or other property; (c) any cause or condition created by or at the
instance of Subtenant, or (d) breach of any of Subtenant's obligations hereunder; and Subtenant shall pay all costs, expenses, fines, penalties and damages imposed upon Sublandlord by reason of
or arising out of Subtenant's failure to fully and promptly comply with and observe the provisions of this Section. Where Subtenant's compliance as required by this Section necessitates actions by
Subtenant for which this Sublease requires Sublandlord's consent, Subtenant shall obtain such consent before taking such actions. 

 
          6.5    [Intentionally omitted]     

 
          6.6    [Intentionally omitted]     

 
          6.7    Rules and Regulations.     Subtenant shall observe and comply with the Rules
and Regulations set forth in Exhibit.D and any reasonable, non-discriminatory amendments and
additions thereto that Sublandlord adopts from time to time, including such reasonable and non-discriminatory rules and regulations as may be in effect from time to time relating to
construction or other improvement work at the Building (collectively, the "Rules and Regulations"). Sublandlord shall not be responsible or liable to Subtenant for violations of the Rules and
Regulations by other lessees and occupants, but Sublandlord will enforce the Rules and Regulation in a non-discriminatory manner. If any of the Rules and Regulations conflict with this
Sublease, then this Sublease shall prevail. 

 
          6.8    Nondiscrimination.     Subtenant covenants by and for itself, its heirs,
executors, administrators and assigns, and all persons claiming under or through Subtenant, and this Sublease is
made and accepted upon and subject to the following conditions: that there shall be no discrimination or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of disability, age, race, color,
creed, sex, religion, sexual orientation, veteran or marital status, ancestry or national origin in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, use, or enjoyment of the Premises, nor shall Subtenant
itself, or any person claiming under or through Subtenant, establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or
occupancy, of sublessees or vendees in the Premises. Sublandlord agrees that it will not declare a default under this Sublease based solely upon alleged discrimination, so long as Subtenant discloses
the allegations of discrimination to Sublandlord, declares in writing to Sublandlord that the alleged discrimination did not in fact occur and proceeds to diligently and vigorously defend against the
discrimination claim. If it is determined through appropriate proceedings (which may include administrative hearings, arbitrations or the like) that Subtenant has violated its obligations under this
Section 6.7, Sublandlord may, at its option, declare a default hereunder. 

 
 

ARTICLE 7
  INSURANCE    
  

 
          7.1    Use of Premises.     Subtenant shall not violate, or permit the violation of,
any condition, standard for use in California, imposed by any insurance policy relating to the Building
and shall not do, or permit anything to be done, or keep or permit anything to be kept in the Premises which: (a) might subject Sublandlord to any liability or responsibility for personal
injury or death or property damage, or (b) might increase any insurance rate with respect to the Building over the rate which would otherwise be in effect (beyond normal increases for tenancies
generally), or (c) might result in insurance companies of good standing refusing to insure the Building in amounts satisfactory to Sublandlord, or (d) might result in the cancellation of
any policy relating to the Building or might result in the assertion of any defense by the insurer in whole or in part to claims under any such policy. 

16

 

 
          7.2    Property Insurance.     

        (a)  During the Sublease Term, Subtenant shall maintain, at Subtenant's expense, "All Risk" property insurance, insuring
Subtenant's Property (as defined in Section 9.2) and the fixtures and equipment located within the Premises (excluding Building systems which are the responsibility of Sublandlord as set forth
in Section 10.1), with a replacement cost endorsement, in the amount of their full replacement cost. As used in this Sublease, the "full replacement cost" of the Building means its replacement
cost excluding (a) footings and foundations and (b) property and fixtures that tenants are contractually required to insure. Subtenant shall also carry business interruption insurance to
cover any interruption of operations at the Premises. 

        (b)  Sublandlord shall, at all times during the Sublease Term, and as part of the Costs of Operation, maintain or cause to be
maintained a policy or policies of insurance with the premiums thereon fully paid in advance, issued by and binding upon an insurance company maintaining a rating of B+ VIII or better in Best's
Insurance Reports, insuring the Building and Parking Garage against loss or damage by fire, or other insurable hazards and contingencies for not less than eighty percent (80%) of the full replacement
cost thereof and with such further coverages as from time to time Sublandlord may elect. Sublandlord shall not be obligated to insure any of Subtenant's Property. 

 
          7.3    Liability Insurance.     

        (a)  Subtenant, at its expense, shall maintain throughout the Sublease Term, commercial general liability insurance, including
contractual liability, with respect to the Premises, their use and occupancy by Subtenant and the conduct or operation of business therein, with combined single-limit coverage of not less than
$2,000,000. Sublandlord may, from time to time, but not more frequently than once every
year, increase the policy amounts to be maintained by Subtenant under this Section 7.3 as Sublandlord deems reasonably necessary to maintain adequate liability coverage. 

        (b)  Sublandlord shall at all times during the Sublease Term and as part of the Costs of Operation, procure or cause to be
procured and continued comprehensive general liability insurance in an amount not less than $3,000,000.00, combined single limit to protect Sublandlord from liability for injury to or death of any
person or damage to property in connection with the use, occupancy, operation or condition of the Building, or Parking Garage. 

        (c)  Except as specifically provided to the contrary, the limits of either party's insurance shall not limit such party's
liability under this Sublease. 

 
          7.4    Waiver of Subrogation.     Sublandlord and Subtenant each shall secure an
appropriate clause in, or an endorsement upon, each insurance policy required by Section 7.2 or otherwise
carried by such party with respect to the Building, pursuant to which the insurance company waives subrogation or permits the insured, prior to any loss, to agree with a third party to waive any claim
it night have against said third party without invalidating the coverage under the insurance policy. On Subtenant's policies, the waiver of subrogation or permission for waiver of any claim shall
extend to Sublandlord, Sublandlord's managing agent, if any, Sublandlord's Affiliates (as defined in Section 26.8(b)) and its and their officers and employees. On Sublandlord's policies, the
waiver of subrogation or permission for waiver of any claim shall extend to Subtenant and its officers and employees. Each party releases the above-named persons with respect to any claim (including a
claim for negligence) which it might otherwise have against them for injury, loss, damage or destruction occurring before the end of the Sublease Term and covered by any insurance policy required of
such party under Section 7.2. or otherwise under this Sublease. 

 
          7.5    Policy Requirements.     Sublandlord, Sublandlord's managing agent, if any,
Sublandlord's Affiliates and its and their officers and employees, each Superior Lessor and each mortgagee
whose name and address shall have been furnished to Subtenant shall be designated as additional insured parties on each insurance policy required to be carried by Subtenant under this Article.
Subtenant shall 

17

 

deliver to Sublandlord fully paid-for policies or certificates of insurance for the insurance coverage required by this Article, in form satisfactory to Sublandlord, issued by
-the insurance company or its authorized agent (each a "Certificate"), prior to Subtenant's initial occupancy of or entry into the Premises. Subtenant shall procure and pay for renewals of
such insurance from time to time before expiration and deliver to Sublandlord a renewal policy or renewal Certificate at least 30 days before the expiration of any existing policy. At
Sublandlord's request, Subtenant shall also deliver insurance policies or Certificates to additional insured parties other than Sublandlord. All policies required to be carried by Subtenant hereunder
shall be issued by companies of recognized responsibility, acceptable to Sublandlord, maintaining a rating of B+ VIII or better in Best's Insurance Reports (or an equivalent rating on any successor
index adopted by Best's), and licensed to do business in California. All such policies shall provide that they cannot be canceled or materially modified unless Sublandlord, each Superior Lessor and
each mortgagee named as an additional insured party are given at least 30 days' prior written notice of such cancellation or modification. 

 
          7.6    Premium Increase.     If, due to any action or omission by Subtenant in
default of any of its obligations under this Sublease, or due to any improvements installed by or at the
direction of Subtenant, the premiums on Sublandlord's insurance shall be higher than they otherwise would be, Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord, on demand, as Additional Charges, for the part of
the premiums attributable to the default by Subtenant or to such improvements. For purposes of this Section, a schedule or statement of rates for the Building, issued by Sublandlord's insurer, or by a
fire insurance rating organization or other similar body making rates for insurance for the Building shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated and of the several items and charges in
the insurance rate then applicable to the Building. 

 
 

ARTICLE 8
  ALTERATIONS    
  

 
          8.1    Prior Approval Required for Alterations.     Except as expressly provided in
Section 8.2, Subtenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Premises or any part thereof
("Alterations"), or attach any fixtures or equipment thereto, without Sublandlord's prior written consent. The initial work to be performed by Subtenant in the build-out of the Premises in
accordance with the Work Letter shall be deemed Alterations, and the terms of this Section 8.1 shall be applicable to Subtenant's Work performed in accordance with the Work Letter unless
otherwise provided to the contrary therein. All Alterations, if any, made by Subtenant in or to the Premises shall be made at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, shall not adversely affect the utility
of the Premises for future tenants, shall not affect in any way the structural, exterior or roof elements of the Building, or the mechanical, electrical, plumbing or life safety systems of the
Building or cause or result in Sublandlord being required by law to make additional alterations, additions or improvements to the Building or any portion thereof (unless Subtenant agrees in writing to
pay for the same), and shall otherwise be done in compliance with all of the following: 

        (a)  No such work shall proceed without Sublandlord's prior written approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed of
(i) Subtenant's contractor(s); (ii) certificates of insurance from a company or companies approved by Sublandlord not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, furnished to Sublandlord by
Subtenant's contractor for combined single limit bodily injury and property damage insurance covering commercial general liability and automobile liability, in an amount not less than two million
dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence, endorsed to provide coverage for completed operations, product liability and broad form property damage liability, and endorsed to show Sublandlord as an
additional insured, and for workers' compensation as required by law, endorsed to show a waiver of subrogation by the insurer to any claims Subtenant's contractor may have against Sublandlord;
(iii) certificates of insurance from a company or companies approved by Sublandlord not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, furnished to 

18

 

Sublandlord by Subtenant for "Builder's All Risk" insurance in an amount approved by Sublandlord not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed covering the construction of the improvements; and
(iv) with respect to Alterations anticipated to cost in excess of $75,000, adequate financial assurances in form and substance reasonably requested by Sublandlord securing the lien free
completion of the intended work. 

        (b)  All such work shall be done strictly in accordance with detailed plans and specifications approved by Sublandlord (the
"Final Plans") and otherwise in conformity with a valid building permit and/or all other permits or licenses when and where required, copies of which shall be furnished to Sublandlord before the work
is commenced, and with any work not acceptable to any governmental authority or agency having or exercising jurisdiction over such work, or not reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord, being promptly
replaced and corrected at Subtenant's expense. Provided the scope of such work is in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1, and Subtenant otherwise complies with the requirements of this
Section 8.1, Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to Tenant's proposed work and the plans and specifications with respect thereto. Sublandlord's approval or consent to any
such work shall not impose any liability upon the Sublandlord. 

        (c)  Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord in connection with any such Alterations the actual, out-of-pocket
construction management fees paid by Sublandlord to unrelated third party professionals for construction management services, and, if no such outside third party is so engaged, a competitive fee
agreed upon between the parties to compensate Sublandlord for the administrative costs incurred and the Building services provided by Sublandlord in the supervision and coordination of the work. In
addition to the foregoing, in all cases, Subtenant shall pay the hourly charge of the Building's engineer when performing services for the benefit of Tenant outside the ordinary duties and/or business
hours of the engineer. The fees and charges provided in this subparagraph shall be applicable to Subtenant's Work undertaken in accordance with the Work Letter. 

        (d)  Subtenant shall immediately reimburse Sublandlord for any out-of-pocket expense incurred by
Sublandlord by reason of any faulty work done by Subtenant or Subtenant's contractors, or by reason of delays caused by such work, or by reason of inadequate cleanup. 

        (e)  Subtenant shall be responsible for any alterations, additions or improvements required by law to be made by Sublandlord
to or in the Premises or the Building as a result of Subtenant's proposed Alterations: 

        (f)    Subtenant or its contractors will in no event be allowed to make plumbing, mechanical or electrical improvements to the
Premises or any structural modification to the Building, in each case without first obtaining Sublandlord's prior written consent, which consent Sublandlord can withhold in its sole and absolute
discretion. Any Alterations affecting mechanical, electrical, HVAC or other systems of the Building shall be performed only by contractors designated by Sublandlord unless such systems are contained
entirely within the Premises and do not in any way affect any Building systems outside the Premises. 

        (g)  All work by Subtenant shall be scheduled through Sublandlord and shall be diligently and continuously pursued from the
date of its commencement through its completion. 

        (h)  Upon completion of any Alterations in or to the Premises by Subtenant, Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense,
promptly provide Sublandlord with updated "record" drawings of all such alterations and improvements. 

 
          8.2    Approved Subtenant Alterations.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Section 8.1, the prior approval of Sublandlord shall not be required for the installation-of
Approved Providing Parties Equipment (as that term is defined in Section 19.3 hereof) and the provisions of subparagraphs 

19

 

(a)(iv), (b), (c), (g) and (h) shall be inapplicable to such work; provided, however, the foregoing waiver shall not release Subtenant from compliance with the remaining provisions of
Section 83(a). 

 
          8.3    Discharge of Liens.     Subtenant shall give written notice to Sublandlord of
the date on which any construction requiring the prior written consent of Sublandlord will be commenced at
least ten (10) days prior to such date. Subtenant shall keep the Premises and the Building free from mechanics', materialmen's and all other liens arising out of any work performed, labor
supplied, materials famished or other obligations incurred by Subtenant. Sublandlord shall have the right to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices that may be provided by law or which
Sublandlord may deem to be proper for the protection of Sublandlord, the Premises and the Building from such liens. Subtenant shall promptly and fully pay and discharge all claims on which any such
lien could be based, and in case of any such lien attaching or notice of any lien, Subtenant covenants and agrees to cause it to be immediately released and removed of record. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Sublease, in the event that such lien is not released and removed by bond or otherwise within ten (10) days after written notice of such lien is delivered by
Sublandlord to Subtenant, Sublandlord may, without waiving its rights and remedies based upon such breach by Subtenant and without releasing Subtenant from any of its obligations, immediately take all
action necessary to release and remove such lien, without any duty to investigate the validity thereof, and all sums, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred by
Sublandlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed additional rent under this Sublease and shall immediately be due and payable by Subtenant. 

 
          8.4    Liens and Violations.     Subtenant, at its expense, and with diligence and
dispatch, shall procure the cancellation or discharge of all notices of violation arising from or otherwise
connected with Alterations, or any other work, labor, services or materials done for or supplied to Subtenant, or any person claiming through or under Subtenant, which shall be issued by the Building
and Safety Department of the City of Los Angeles or any other public authority. Subtenant shall not utilize materials in Alterations (except with respect to Subtenant's Property) that are subject to
security interests or liens. Subtenant shall defend, indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any and all mechanics' liens, stop notices and other liens and encumbrances or claims of
liens or encumbrances filed in connection with Alterations, or any other work, labor, services or materials done for or supplied to Subtenant, or any person claiming through or under Subtenant,
including security interests in any materials, fixtures or articles installed in
the Premises; and against all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any such lien or encumbrance, or claim of lien or encumbrance, its removal or any related action or
proceeding. 

 
          8.5    Subtenant's Specialty Equipment.     Subject to the terms of this
Section 8.5, Sublandlord acknowledges that Subtenant's use of the Premises may require some or all of the following (the
"Specialty Equipment"), all of which shall be subject to engineering review and approval: 

        (a)  Subtenant shall have the right to use, without charge, other than as provided in this Section 8.5, any existing
Liebert units within the Premises (and subject to Sublandlord's approval and necessary engineering review, additional Liebert units which may be available at the Building for Subtenant's use), in
their "AS IS" condition, with all faults and without any representation or warranty by Sublandlord whatsoever. Subtenant assumes the risk of its use of the Liebert units and understands that
Sublandlord shall have no liability or responsibility for any failure of such units at any time. Any use by Subtenant of the Liebert air conditioning system shall be separately metered. Subtenant
shall pay all costs and expenses associated with the maintenance and operation of such units, including, as necessary, a usage charge (currently $54 per hour) for the supply of chilled water, which
amount shall be adjusted to Subtenant's pro rata share of such charge (based on the number of tenants then requesting such usage at the time) if other subtenants on the Lower Level I, II or III of the
Building also use such service at the same time it is used by Subtenant. The charge for providing chilled water shall be subject to adjustment based upon increases in Sublandlord's actual cost of
providing such service. 

20

 

        (b)  Subtenant shall have the right to install an independent, Subtenant controlled fire suppression system of FM 200 or newer
technologies, at Subtenant's expense, with Sublandlord's approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, which will include access to Subtenant for exhaust louvers, shafts
or risers necessary for the discharge of exhaust from the Premises from such system as well as Subtenant's air conditioning system. Subtenant will pay for all charges necessary to zone off and change
the fire suppression system. 

        (c)  Subtenant shall have the right to use, store and/or relocate, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, the existing raised
floor system in the Premises to accommodate Subtenant's telecommunications equipment. 

        (d)  Subtenant may install, at its sole cost and expense, a 750 MCM copper insulated ground conductor, associated fittings
and/or conduit that ties into the existing Building beam ground that terminates at the lowest point in the Building. 

        (e)  Subtenant shall have the right to utilize the existing pre-action (i.e., "dry") fire suppression system, or
to modify, existing wet sprinkler system components to create a pre-action system in all or selected parts of the Premises. Such system shall be in compliance with applicable standards and
codes and shall be subject to reasonable Sublandlord and local governmental approvals. Any sprinklers not converted to a "pre-action" design shall remain of "wet" design. 

        (f)    Subject to review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Subtenant's Final Plans for such
installation, Subtenant may install non-permanently affixed equipment necessary for the operation of its telecommunications operations at the Premises. 

        (g)  If necessary for Subtenant's business operations at the Premises and subject to review of Subtenant's Final Plans for
such installation, Subtenant shall have the right to install within the Premises systems necessary to provide supplemental HVAC services to the Premises, utilizing chilled water. Subtenant shall pay
all costs and expenses associated with the installation, use and operation of any supplemental HVAC equipment or system, including, without limitation, the costs of installing an extension of the
chilled water loop to the Premises. 

        (h)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that installation, use and maintenance
of the Specialty Equipment is subject to Sublandlord's engineering review and confirmation of compatibility with the operation of the Building from time to time and the operations, use and access
rights of other tenants, subtenants and occupants of the Building. In addition, Subtenant agrees to comply with the terms of Article 8 and the Work Letter, as applicable to the installation of
any Specialty Equipment. 

 
 

ARTICLE 9
  SUBLANDLORD'S AND SUBTENANT'S PROPERTY    
  

 
          9.1    Sublandlord's Fixtures and Equipment.     All fixtures and improvements
existing in the Premises as of the date of this Sublease, shall be and remain the property of Sublandlord and, unless otherwise
agreed in writing by Sublandlord, shall not be removed by Subtenant and shall, upon expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease, remain a part of the Premises and the property of Sublandlord.
Upon notice to Subtenant, Sublandlord may require Subtenant to remove all or any part of any non-standard fixtures (e.g., vaults, kitchens, raised floors (excluding raised floors existing
as of the date the Premises are initially delivered to Subtenant), auditoriums, internal stairways) and any other Alterations which differ from those typically included within normal office use
(excluding any other non-standard improvements which existed as of the date the Premises are initially delivered to Subtenant), installed by Subtenant, and any other Alterations, in which
event Subtenant shall remove the foregoing from the Premises before the end of the Sublease Term at Subtenant's expense and shall repair and restore the Premises to its condition before such
installation (ordinary wear and tear and 

21

 

insured casualty loss excepted), and repair any damage resulting from such removal. Sublandlord agrees to specify at the time of approval of any Alterations (including the initial improvements
installed by Subtenant pursuant to the Work Letter) and/or the installation of any Specialty Equipment whether such Alterations and/or Specialty Equipment will be required to be removed at the end of
the Sublease Term. 

 
          9.2    Other Property and Equipment.     All telecommunications systems and related
equipment and office equipment and other equipment or property, whether or not attached to or built into the Premises,
that is installed in the Premises by or for the account of Subtenant or its customers, agents, vendees, subtenants (including Providing Parties) or service providers, and which can be removed without
any significant damage to the Premises or the Building, and all furniture, furnishings and other articles of movable personal property owned by Subtenant (or leased from any person other than
Sublandlord) and located in the Premises, including any Specialty Equipment installed by Subtenant (but excluding any Specialty Equipment existing in the Premises as of the date of this Sublease)
(collectively, "Subtenant's Property") shall remain the property of Subtenant (or such other owner) and may be removed by Subtenant (or such other owner) at any time during the Sublease Term. If and
to the extent significant damage is expected to result from the removal of Subtenant's Property, such property and equipment shall not be removed without the prior written consent of Sublandlord,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as Subtenant agrees to repair, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, all damage resulting from such removal. Subtenant shall repair,
at its sole expense, any damage to the Premises or to the Building resulting from the installation or removal of Subtenant's Property. 

 
          9.3    Removal at Termination.     Before the expiration of the Sublease Term, or
immediately upon any earlier termination of this Sublease, Subtenant, at its sole expense, shall remove from the
Premises all of Subtenant's Property (except such items as Sublandlord has expressly permitted, either at the time of installation or otherwise, to remain, which shall become the property of
Sublandlord), including, without limitation, any and all telecommunications cabling, conduit, wiring and distribution frames, whether installed in the Building's riser system (as provided in
Section 11.7) or anywhere in the Premises, including, without limitation, any such cabling and equipment installed under the raised floor of the Premises (the foregoing obligation shall apply
notwithstanding any requirement in Section 9.1 above for Sublandlord to specify which Alterations shall be required to be removed by Subtenant at the end of the Term). Subtenant shall repair
any damage to the Premises or the Building resulting from the installation or removal of Subtenant's Property or other fixtures or equipment from the Premises. 

 
          9.4    Abandonment.     At Sublandlord's option, any items of Subtenant's Property
that remain in the Premises after the expiration of the Sublease Term or any earlier termination of
this Sublease shall be deemed abandoned and may be retained by Sublandlord (or successor in interest) as its property or disposed of, without accountability, in such manner as Sublandlord shall
determine, and at Subtenant's expense. 

 
          9.5    Taxes on Subtenant's Property and Non-Standard Subtenant Improvements.

shall pay all taxes levied or assessed upon any property, equipment, fixtures or improvements installed at
the Premises after the date of this Sublease. If the assessed value of the Building, the Premises or property of Sublandlord is increased by the inclusion of a value placed upon property installed at

to improvements, property or equipment installed in the Premises, to the extent such levy or assessment is based upon a value determined to be in excess of Thirty Dollars ($30.00) per square foot of
Rentable Area of the Premises. For the purposes of calculating the amount payable by Subtenant pursuant to this Section 9.5(b), the assessed value of improvements and equipment installed in the
Premises shall be deemed to be equal to the cost of such improvements and equipment, including the cost of any Alterations performed pursuant to Section 8.1.

installation of Subtenant's Property subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Sublease; (b) waives, in favor of both Subtenant and any party providing financing to Subtenant for any
purpose, any lien, interest, and or right of Sublandlord in and to Subtenant's Property, whether statutory or possessory, whether arising by statute or at common law, including but not limited to any
Sublandlord's lien, and any right of execution, attachment, levy or to distraint for rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord shall have no obligation or liability. to any holder of a lien
with respect to Subtenant's Property or equipment except to the extent of any written agreement which may be entered into between Sublandlord and such lienholder. Upon request by Subtenant,
Sublandlord agrees to execute such certificates and other documents in form reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord as Subtenant's lenders may request in connection with any such financing. No
lienholder shall be permitted access to the Premises or any other rights with respect to the Building unless set forth in a written agreement between such lienholder and Sublandlord. Further,
Subtenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against all liens which may be recorded against the Land, the Building or any portion thereof and the exercise of any
remedies by any lienholder of Subtenant.

all reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs of such repairs. 

 
          10.3    Exculpation of Sublandlord for Repairs.     Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant, and Subtenant's covenants and obligations under this
Sublease shall not be reduced or abated in any manner whatsoever, by reason of any inconvenience, annoyance, interruption or injury to business arising from Sublandlord making any maintenance,
repairs, alterations, additions or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or in or to the fixtures, equipment or appurtenances of the Building or the Premises which
Sublandlord is required or permitted to make by this Sublease, or which are required by law, or which Sublandlord deems appropriate, excepting any actual (but not consequential) damages occurring

agents or partners. When practicable, Subtenant shall be given the reasonable opportunity to perform such work within the Premises in lieu of Sublandlord undertaking such work. Sublandlord shall have
the right to erect scaffolding and barricades in the Building for purposes of such repairs, provided that such structures do not unreasonably impair access to and use of the Premises. Subtenant waives

Building. If Sublandlord becomes aware of the need for work which
will affect services, Sublandlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to meet with Subtenant in advance to advise Subtenant of the necessary work or other event so that Subtenant may devise
a procedure to minimize the interruption to Subtenant's use, possession and occupancy of the Premises for the purpose of conducting its business.

24

 

observed in the City of Los Angeles by the closing of businesses (each a "Holiday"), and subject to the Rules and Regulations: (i) heating, air conditioning and ventilation ("HVAC") in
accordance with the Base Building Definition attached as Schedule 1 to the Work Letter ("Base Building Definition"); and (ii) non-exclusive freight and passenger elevator
service included within the Base Building Definition, and (b) 24 hours a day, every day of the year, (i) access to electricity with a capacity described in this

consistent with such services as provided in Comparable Buildings. 

        (b)  The cost of janitorial services provided by Sublandlord, if any, shall be reimbursed by Subtenant to Sublandlord as
additional rent; provided, however, Subtenant's cost shall be adjusted to reflect Subtenant's pro rata share of such cost (based on the Rentable Area of the Premises, exclusive of Subtenant's
technical and equipment areas, and the Rentable Area of the premises to which
Sublandlord is providing janitorial services). The foregoing charge shall be in addition to any costs for Common Area janitorial services included as part of Costs of Operation. 

        (c)  The Premises shall be separately metered or submetered (including through an "e-mon" metering system) at
Subtenant's cost, and Subtenant shall pay the cost of all electricity utilized by Subtenant in the Premises to Sublandlord as additional rent. Subtenant hereby assumes all responsibility for
maintenance of the utility meters (or submeters) for the Premises. The electrical service available to the Premises shall be from the existing electrical closet serving the Premises with a capacity of
not less than 300 amps, 480 volt, phase alternating current. In addition to the foregoing, subject to engineering review, at the sole cost and expense of Subtenant, Sublandlord shall provide Tenant
with access to not less than 1,000 amps, 480 volt, 3-phase alternating current service for Subtenant's equipment (including any existing Building Liebert units) in the Premises.

services on a 24 hour basis as described in this Sublease, Sublandlord shall provide HVAC and freight elevator
service at other than Building Hours by arrangement with Sublandlord, at Sublandlord's customary charges for such overtime use (which, for after hours HVAC, is currently charged at $37.00 per hour)

other tenants of such HVAC services during non-Building hours. Subtenant shall pay all charges associated with the use of the Liebert air conditioning units described in
Section 11.10(b) below, including without limitation, the after-hours cost of chilled water services necessary for the operation of such units (which hourly charge is currently $54.00 per
hour). To the extent other subtenants occupying premises on the lower levels of the Building also request after-hours chilled water services, Subtenant's after-hours chilled water cost shall be
adjusted to reflect Subtenant's pro rata share (based on the Rentable Area of the premises occupied by the number of tenants then requesting such service) of such cost. Notwithstanding the foregoing
Subtenant's use and access rights as described herein shall be subject to emergency shutdowns and the annual power shutdown and inspection (conducted in conjunction with the Los Angeles Fire
Department), on one weekend per year (as determined by Sublandlord) or more frequently if required by applicable laws, rules or regulations, it being agreed that Sublandlord's managing agent shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to notify Subtenant prior to any scheduled shutdown of the Building's power which Sublandlord or its managing agent schedules or of which it receives reasonable
advance notice. Without Sublandlord's prior written consent, Subtenant shall not use any apparatus or device in the Premises designed to operate on electrical current in excess of the capacity

time other than during Building Hours; (b) HVAC or water in amounts exceeding the amounts 

25

 

Sublandlord has undertaken to` provide in Section 11.1 ("Excess Services"), it being agreed that Sublandlord may audit (including by consultant, survey, and/or through installation of meters)
Subtenant's consumption of utilities for such purpose, which audits and metering shall be at Subtenant's expense unless they disclose that Subtenant is not in fact using Excess Services; and
(c) any additional or unusual janitorial or cleaning services in the Premises made necessary by reason of (i) nonstandard tenant improvements in the Premises (such as a large number of
glass partitions or other glass surfaces in the interior of the Premises), (ii) the carelessness of Subtenant or its employees, or (iii) the manner in which Subtenant's business is
conducted. Sublandlord shall not be required to provide janitorial services for any portions of the Premises which differ from normal office uses,
including portions utilized for preparing or consuming food or beverages, storage, offset printing, equipment rooms or lavatories. 

 
          11.3    Temperature Maintenance.     Sublandlord makes no representation with respect
to, and shall have no liability in connection with, the adequacy or fitness of the HVAC systems to operate in a
manner which is inconsistent with the Base Building Definition. If the temperature otherwise maintained in any portion of the Building by the HVAC systems is affected as a result of any lights,
machines, equipment, occupancy, or electrical load in or with respect to the Premises other than in accordance with the Base Building Definition, or as otherwise approved by Sublandlord. Sublandlord
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to install any machinery and equipment which Sublandlord reasonably deems necessary to maintain or restore temperature balance, including modifications to
the standard HVAC equipment. The cost of any such additional machinery or equipment, including the cost of installation and any additional cost of operation and maintenance incurred thereby, shall be
paid by Subtenant as Additional Charges. 

 
          11.4    Exculpation of Sublandlord for Utilities.     Except as specifically provided
in this Sublease to the contrary, Sublandlord shall not be liable for any failure to furnish any services or utilities when such
failure is caused by acts of God, accidents, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts, other labor disputes, alterations or improvements to the Premises or the Building, the inability to obtain an
adequate supply of fuel, water, electricity, labor or other supplies or for any other condition (including any governmental energy conservation program unless resulting from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Sublandlord), and Subtenant shall not be entitled to any damages nor shall such failure abate or suspend Subtenant's obligation to pay the Rents or constitute or be construed as
a constructive or other eviction of Subtenant. If any governmental entity promulgates or revises any law, or issues guidelines or mandatory controls relating to the use or conservation of energy,
water, gas, light or electricity, the reduction of automobile or other emissions or the provision of any other utility or service furnished by Sublandlord in the Building, Sublandlord may, in its sole
discretion, take any appropriate action to comply with such provisions of law, guidelines or mandatory controls, including the making of alterations to the Building. Except as specifically provided in
this Sublease, neither Sublandlord's actions nor its failure to act shall entitle Subtenant to any damages, abate or suspend Subtenant's obligation to pay the Rents or constitute or be construed as a
constructive or other eviction of Subtenant. 

 
          11.5    Access.     Sublandlord, its cleaning contractor and their employees shall
have access to the Premises after 5:30 p.m. and before 8:00 a.m. and shall have the
right to use, without charge therefor, all light, power and water in the Premises reasonably required to clean the Premises; provided, however, that the cleaning contractor and their employees shall
not have access to Subtenant's technical equipment areas and Sublandlord shall not provide janitorial services with respect to said areas. 

 
          11.6    Building Security.     Sublandlord (or its property manager), as part of the
Costs of Operation, shall provide uniformed ground floor patrol services for the Building and at the
entrance to the Parking Garage. Notwithstanding Sublandlord's obligation to provide uniformed patrol services for the Building, Sublandlord shall be in no event obligated to provide armed guards at
the Building. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord's patrol service is not a security service. It is further 

26

 

acknowledged and agreed that Sublandlord makes no representation or warranty to Subtenant as to the protection which may be provided by Sublandlord's patrol measures to Subtenant's employees or
visitors, and Sublandlord shall not be responsible for any criminal acts which may be committed within the Common Areas or at or around the Premises, the Building, or the Parking Garage. Subject to
the requirements of the Work Letter and the terms of Section 8 (Alterations), if applicable, Subtenant shall be permitted at its sole expense, to install its own security system (such as a card
key system) and may retain supplemental security services for its Premises (but in no event shall such supplemental security services consist of armed guards), so long as such systems and services are
compatible with Sublandlord's security measures for the Building. If Subtenant elects to employ any of its own security measures, Sublandlord and Subtenant agree to use reasonable efforts to
coordinate their respective security functions and shall cooperate to develop procedures to implement their respective procedures in an efficient and effective manner. In addition, Subtenant shall
provide to Sublandlord and/or the Building Manager all current access codes and key cards necessary to gain access to the Premises. Subtenant assumes responsibility for (i) keeping the Premises
reasonably secure, and (ii) locking the doors in and to the Premises. Any damage to Subtenant's property or the Premises resulting from neglect shall be paid for by Subtenant, subject to
Subtenant's right to collect insurance proceeds and proceed against third parties. All property belonging to Subtenant or any person in the Premises shall be there at the sole risk of the Subtenant or
such other person only, and Sublandlord and its agents and employees shall not be liable for theft or misappropriation, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Sublandlord or its agents, employees or contractors. 

 
          11.7    Telecommunications Services.     

        (a)  Sublandlord shall provide and maintain, at no expense to Subtenant (other than as an item of Costs of Operation),
telephone riser space in the Building core adequate to accommodate the telecommunications needs of general office tenants, and lines and conduit in Building risers and horizontal pathways ("Pathways")
that provide a continuous connection of intrabuilding telecommunications cabling from a minimum point of entry into the Building for telecommunications wiring, to the intermediate distribution frame
(the "IDF") located on the floor of the Premises, and to the main telephone distribution frame located in the ground or basement level floors of the Building; provided, however, except as otherwise
provided in the Work Letter, Sublandlord shall have no obligation (and Subtenant shall have no right) to increase the capacity of the existing telecommunications riser and distribution facilities
and/or cabling in the Building. Except as otherwise provided in the Work Letter, Subtenant shall not alter, modify, add to or disturb any telecommunications wiring, cabling or distribution frames in
any portion of the Building outside the Premises without Sublandlord's prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as may be
adopted by Sublandlord for uniform application to all tenants in the Building, Sublandlord shall permit Subtenant reasonable access to IDF and the Pathways for the purpose of installing
telecommunications wiring and cabling, on a space available basis, in connection with the Permitted Use; provided, however, only Sublandlord and/or Sublandlord's engineers and/or engineers approved by
Sublandlord are authorized to install and/or connect additional telecommunication lines (including, voice, data, video, cable and other) in any area of the Building outside Subtenant's Premises, and
such work shall be at Subtenant's expense. Subtenant shall maintain and. repair all telecommunications cabling and wiring within or exclusively serving the Premises. Subtenant shall be liable to
Sublandlord for any damage to the telecommunications cabling and wiring in the Building due to the act (negligent or otherwise) of Subtenant or any employee, agent or contractor of Subtenant.
Sublandlord makes no representation to Subtenant regarding the condition, security, availability or suitability for Subtenant's purposes of existing intrabuilding network cabling or any
telecommunications services presently located within the Building, "and Subtenant hereby waives any claim against Sublandlord for any damages if Subtenant's telecommunications services are in any
way interrupted, damaged or otherwise interfered with, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful or criminal misconduct of Sublandlord, its agents or employees, provided that in 

27

 

no event shall any such interruption, damage or interference entitle Subtenant to any consequential damages (including damages for loss of business) or relieve Subtenant of any of its obligations
under this Sublease. Sublandlord reserves the right to limit the number of local exchange carriers and competitive alternative telecommunications providers (collectively "TSPs") having access to the
Building's riser system and infrastructure. 

        (b)  Sublandlord covenants to provide for Subtenant's use the right to utilize up to 11/2 inches in one or more
of the existing sleeves in the Building's telecommunications riser, in a location determined by Sublandlord, and reasonably acceptable to Subtenant, for the use of Subtenant's telecommunications
cabling. 

        (c)  Sublandlord shall require that all parties installing or using telecommunications or other equipment generating
electromagnetic fields operate such equipment within the technical parameters of the manufacturer of such equipment. Subject to the foregoing, Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Sublandlord shall
have no obligation to ensure that other parties do not interfere with Subtenant's business operations or communication services or install, maintain and operate any equipment in accordance with
Federal Communications Commission's rules, and Sublandlord shall have no liability for interference resulting from actions or operations of others. Sublandlord will non-discriminatorily
enforce Building Rules and Regulations and the terms of Subleases only with respect to normal office building uses and not with respect to issues of interference with communication uses. Subtenant
shall be and remain responsible for preventing and guarding against interference with other uses and operations in the Building and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord from and
against any and all claims, losses, liabilities or causes of action brought against Sublandlord by reason of any actual interference arising out of the use of the Premises by Sublandlord or any
Providing Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Sublandlord shall have no obligation to become involved in disputes or disagreements which may arise between
or among various telecommunications providers regarding interference or other issues. If a dispute arises between Subtenant and another telecommunications provider, Subtenant may request that such
other user meet with Subtenant to resolve such dispute in a manner consistent with prevailing industry standards and customs and all costs of such dispute resolution proceedings shall be paid by
Subtenant and Sublandlord shall have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. 

 
          11.8    Emergency Back-Up Power.     The Premises shall be served by the Building's
emergency/back-up diesel generators with a capacity as provided in the Base Building Definition;
provided, however, Sublandlord makes no representation or warranty regarding the capability or availability of the generator system at any time. Subtenant shall pay all costs associated with the
Building's emergency/back-up generator system (including, without limitation, fuel costs) as an item of Costs of Operation. 

 
          11.9    Subtenant's Right to Retain Janitorial Services.     Subtenant shall have the
right, at Subtenant's expense, upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice to Sublandlord, to retain a reputable janitorial
service contractor to perform janitorial services for the Premises. In the event Subtenant shall so notify Sublandlord, Sublandlord shall have no further
obligation to provide janitorial services to the Premises after the effective date of commencement of the service retained by Subtenant. Sublandlord and Subtenant shall coordinate all janitorial
services to avoid duplication of services, improper charges, disagreements between service contractors and to ensure that the Building and the Premises will be maintained in accordance with the
standards of Comparable Buildings. If Subtenant elects to provide its own janitorial services, all storage of cleaning supplies and equipment for such janitorial service shall be within the Premises
in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

are substantially completed, then the Premises shall be deemed to have been substantially repaired on such earlier date and any reduction or abatement of Basic Rent shall cease as of such earlier
date. 

 
          13.3    Exception to Abatement.     Subtenant shall not receive any abatement or
reduction of Basic Rent if the Premises are untenantable due to damage or loss of access for a period of four
(4) business days, or if by reason of some act or omission on the part of Subtenant, its subtenant or assignee, or its or their partners, directors, officers, servants, employees, agents or
contractors, either: (i) Sublandlord (or any successor in interest to Sublandlord) is unable to collect all of the insurance proceeds (including, without limitation, rent insurance proceeds)
for damage or destruction of the Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty; or (ii) the Premises or the Building was damaged or destroyed or rendered completely or partially
untenantable due to fire or other casualty and the loss of Basic Rent is not covered by Sublandlord's rental loss insurance. Collection of rent by Sublandlord under the circumstances described in
Section 13.3 shall not preclude Sublandlord from seeking damages from Subtenant or exercising other remedies it may have under this Sublease or under law. 

30

 

 
          13.4    Election to Terminate.     

 
          (a)    Sublandlord's Election to Terminate.     If: (i) the Building or the
Premises is totally destroyed by fire or other casualty; or (ii) the Building is so damaged (whether or not the Premises
are damaged or destroyed) that its repair or restoration requires the expenditure (as reasonably estimated by a reputable independent contractor or architect designated by Sublandlord) of more than
20% of the full replacement cost of the Building immediately
before the casualty; or (iii) less than two years remains in the Sublease Term at the time of the fire or other casualty and the time necessary to rebuild or repair the Building, in the opinion
of a reputable contractor, would exceed ninety (90) days; or (iv) Sublandlord would be required under Section 13.2 to abate or reduce the Basic Rent for a period in excess of nine
(9) months if rebuilding or repairs were undertaken, then, in any of such cases, Sublandlord may terminate this Sublease (and the leases of all other similarly situated tenants) by giving
Subtenant notice to such effect within ninety (90) days after the date of the casualty. This Sublease shall terminate on the date specified in Sublandlord's notice. 

 
          (b)    Subtenant's Election to Terminate.     If the Building or the Premises is
destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty such that Subtenant is deprived of access to the Premises or the use and
occupancy thereof in substantially the same manner then being used by Subtenant, and a reputable independent contractor or architect designated by Sublandlord ("Sublandlord's Architect or Contractor")
reasonably estimates in a notice provided to Subtenant by Sublandlord within sixty (60) days after the casualty that the Building or the Premises is damaged to such an extent that Subtenant
will be deprived of access to the Premises or use and occupancy of the Premises in substantially the same manner then being used. by Subtenant for a period in excess of 180 days from the date
of the casualty, then Subtenant may terminate this Sublease by giving Sublandlord notice within thirty (30) days after delivery of such contractor's or architect's estimate, whereupon this
Sublease shall terminate as of the earlier of such future date as is specified in Subtenant's notice or thirty (30) days from the date of Subtenant's notice. If the Building or the Premises is
destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty and Sublandlord's Architect or Contractor has estimated (in a notice delivered to Subtenant pursuant to the previous sentence) that Subtenant will be
deprived of access to the Premises or use and occupancy of the Premises in substantially the same manner then being used by Subtenant for a period of 180 days or less, but the Premises and
access thereto and the use and occupancy thereof are not actually restored within 180 days from the date (the "Untenantability Date") that Subtenant is first deprived of such access or use and
occupancy due to such casualty (the "Outside Date"), Subtenant may terminate this Sublease as of the Untenantability Date by giving Sublandlord notice within thirty (30) days after the Outside
Date. 

 
          13.5    Business Interruption.     Subtenant shall not be entitled to terminate this
Sublease, and no damages, compensation or claim shall be payable by Sublandlord, for inconvenience, loss of
business or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Premises or of the Building pursuant to this Article. Sublandlord shall exert reasonable efforts to make such repair
or restoration promptly and in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with Subtenant's use and occupancy of the Premises, but Sublandlord shall have no obligation to perform such work on an
overtime or premium-pay basis. 

 
          13.6    Subtenant's Property.     Sublandlord shall not be obligated to repair any
damage to or replace Subtenant's Property and Subtenant shall restore and repair Subtenant's Property with
reasonable dispatch after the repair of the Premises and shall look solely to its insurance for recovery of any damage to or loss of Subtenant's Property. 

 
          13.7    Waiver.     Subtenant waives the application of California Civil Code
Sections 1932 and 1933, and any other law of similar import, now or hereafter in force, to any case of
damage to or destruction of the Building or the Premises by fire or other casualty, or to a taking of all or part of the Building or the Premises subject to the provisions of Article 14 below. 

31

 
 
 

ARTICLE 14
  EMINENT DOMAIN    
  

 
          14.1    Complete Taking.     If the whole of the Building or the Premises is taken by
condemnation, sale in lieu of condemnation, or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public use or
purpose ("Eminent Domain"), this Sublease and the term and estate hereby granted shall terminate as of the date of vesting of title on such taking or the date that the condemning or purchasing
authority takes possession, whichever is earlier ("Date of the Taking"), and the Rents shall be prorated and adjusted as of such date. 

 
          14.2    Partial Taking.     If only part of the Building or the Land is taken by
Eminent Domain, this Sublease shall be unaffected by such taking, except that: (a) if Sublandlord in
the exercise of its good faith business judgment determines that it would be economically impractical to operate the portion of the Building remaining after the taking, Sublandlord may, at its option,
terminate this Sublease by giving Subtenant notice to that effect within ninety (90) days after the Date of the Taking (as defined in Section 141) and (b) if ten percent (10%) or
more of the Premises (other than that used for general office use) shall be so taken and the remaining area of the Premises shall not be reasonably adequate for Subtenant to continue operation of its
business as it is then being conducted, Subtenant may terminate this Sublease by giving Sublandlord notice to that effect within ninety (90) days after the Date of the Taking. This Sublease
shall terminate as of the date that such termination notice from Sublandlord or Subtenant is given, and the Rents shall be prorated and adjusted as of such termination date. Upon a partial taking of
the Building, where this Sublease continues in force as to less than all of the Premises, Subtenant shall be entitled to an adjustment in the Basic Rent, and in Subtenant's Share, as provided in.
Section 28(b). 

 
          14.3    Award.     Sublandlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or
payment in connection with any taking of the Premises, without deduction for any estate vested in
Subtenant by this Sublease. Subtenant expressly assigns to Sublandlord all of its right, title and interest in and to every such award or payment. Subtenant shall be entitled to claim and receive any
award or payment from the condemning authority expressly granted for the taking of Subtenant's Property, interruption of its business, moving expenses or any other actual costs provided that
Subtenant's claim does not adversely affect Sublandlord's award or interfere with Sublandlord's prosecution of its claim for the taking, except to the extent related to Subtenant's Property. If
Subtenant intervenes in a condemnation proceeding in which Sublandlord is a party, Sublandlord and Sublandlord's counsel shall manage and control the proceeding for the claimants. 

 
          14.4    Temporary Taking.     If, all or any portion of the Premises is taken by
Eminent Domain for a limited period of time, this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect and Subtenant
shall continue to perform all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Sublease, except with abatement of Rents to the extent Subtenant's business operations are actually prevented or materially
impaired. If such temporary taking entirely prevents the use of the Premises for Subtenant's business operation continues for more than 90 days, Subtenant shall have the right to terminate this
Sublease upon thirty (30) days' written notice to Sublandlord. Subtenant shall be entitled to receive that portion of the award which is made for any such temporary taking of the Premises
attributable to any period within the term of this Sublease and for any damage to Subtenant's Property. Sublandlord shall be entitled to receive that portion of the award which is made for any such
temporary taking of the Premises attributable to the period after the expiration of the term of this Sublease or which is allocable to the Building, other than the Premises, or to the cost of
restoration of the Premises or which is made for any other purpose. If any such temporary taking terminates before the expiration of the term of this Sublease, Subtenant shall restore the Premises as
nearly as possible to their condition before the taking, at Subtenant's sole cost and, expense; provided that Subtenant shall receive the portion of the award attributable to such restoration. 

32

 
 
 

ARTICLE 15
  SURRENDER OF PREMISES    
  

 
          15.1    Surrender.     On the last day of the Sublease Term, or upon any earlier
termination of this Sublease, or upon any reentry by Sublandlord upon the Premises, Subtenant shall quit
and surrender the Premises to Sublandlord "broom-clean" and in good order, condition and repair, excepting ordinary wear and tear and any damage or destruction caused by fire or other casualty that
Subtenant is not obligated by this Sublease to repair. As provided in Section 9.3, Subtenant shall remove all of Subtenant's Property from the Premises and shall also remove any
non-standard fixtures or equipment installed by Subtenant in accordance with the terms of Article 8 of this Sublease. Upon expiration of the Sublease Term or earlier termination of
this Sublease, all of Subtenant's right, title and interest in the Premises or the Building, including any possessory interest, shall cease. 

 
          15.2    Acceptance of Surrender.     Before expiration of the Sublease Term, or
earlier termination of this Sublease in accordance with its terms, no act or thing done by Sublandlord or its agents
shall be deemed an acceptance of surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Sublandlord. 

 
          15.3    No Merger.     The surrender of this Sublease by Subtenant or the termination
of this Sublease before expiration of the Sublease Term shall not constitute a merger, and at the
option of Sublandlord shall operate as an assignment to Sublandlord of any subleases of the Premises. 

 
          15.4    No Holding Over.     There shall be no holding over by Subtenant after
expiration of the Sublease Term and the failure by Subtenant to deliver possession of the Premises to
Sublandlord shall be an unlawful detainer. If Subtenant holds over, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord per month for the use of the Premises an amount equal 150% of the Rents due for the last month
during the Sublease Term occurring before such hold over. In addition to such amounts, Subtenant shall be responsible for all other costs, losses, damages and expenses (which need not be asserted in a
summary eviction proceeding or action brought by Sublandlord against Subtenant but may be asserted in a separate proceeding or action by Sublandlord) arising from such hold over. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, Subtenant acknowledges that the term of this Sublease and all rights of Subtenant hereunder shall automatically terminate upon termination of a Superior Sublease, and
Subtenant acknowledges that it must vacate and surrender the Premises in the condition required under the terms of this Sublease by no later than February 27, 2009. Subtenant agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses under the terms of any Superior Leases or otherwise (which may include, without
limitation, the entire amount of all rent and other charges under the Superior Leases following February 27, 2009) by reason of Subtenant's failure to vacate and surrender the Premises by
February 27, 2009 in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Sublease. 

 
 

ARTICLE 16
  DEFAULT BY SUBTENANT    
  

 
          16.1    Default.     The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a
material default and breach of this Sublease by Subtenant: 

        (a)  Any failure by Subtenant to pay Basic Rent or Additional Charges when due, where such failure continues for five
(5) business days after delivery of written notice of such failure by Sublandlord to Subtenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice
required under Section 1161 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any successor or similar law; 

        (b)  The abandonment of the Premises by Subtenant; 

33

  

        (c)  The failure of Subtenant to observe and perform its obligations under Sections 7.2, 73, 7.5 where such failure continues
for more than two (2) business days after written notice from Sublandlord. 

        (d)  The failure by Subtenant to observe and perform any provision of this Sublease to be observed or performed by Subtenant,
if such failure is not expressly described in this Section 16.1 or elsewhere in this Sublease as a default hereunder and if such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after written
notice by Sublandlord to Subtenant; provide d, however, that if the nature of such default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within such 15 day period, Subtenant shall not be deemed to
be in default under this Section 16.1(d) if Subtenant within that period commences to cure the default and thereafter diligently proceeds to completion within a reasonable time, not to exceed
90 days after Sublandlord's notice; 

        (e)  The making by Subtenant, or by any guarantor of any of Subtenant's obligations hereunder, of a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors; the commencement by Subtenant of any case, proceeding or other action seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts
under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or for the appointment of a receiver for, or the seizure or takeover by any governmental agency of, it or all or
any substantial part of its property (collectively, an "Insolvency Proceeding"); the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding against Subtenant, unless such Insolvency Proceeding is contested (and
such contest is diligently pursued) and such Insolvency Proceeding is discharged or dismissed within sixty (60) days after the date filed or commenced; a trustee or receiver shall be appointed
to take possession of substantially all of Subtenant's assets located at the Premises or of Subtenant's interest in this Sublease, unless possession is restored to Subtenant within thirty
(30) days; or substantially all of Subtenant's assets located at the Premises or Subtenant's interest in this Sublease shall be attached or judicially seized, unless such attachment or seizure
is discharged within 30 days; 

        (f)    The failure by Subtenant to observe or perform according to the provisions of the Work Letter or Article 8
(Alterations) or Section 6.2 (Prohibited Uses), if such failure continues for more than forty-eight (48) hours after notice from Sublandlord; 

        (g)  The hypothecation or assignment of this Sublease or subletting of the Premises, or any attempt at any such actions, in
violation of Article 19 shall be deemed an immediate default upon notice to Subtenant and shall not be curable; and 

        (h)  The failure of Subtenant to comply fully and timely with the provisions set forth in Article 5 hereof shall be
deemed an immediate default upon notice to Subtenant and shall not be curable. 

 
          16.2    Termination of Sublease.     In the event of any such default by Subtenant
which continues beyond any applicable notice and agreed cure period, then in addition to any other remedies
available to Sublandlord at law or in equity, Sublandlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Sublease and all rights of Subtenant hereunder by giving Subtenant a notice of termination.
If Sublandlord elects so to terminate this Sublease, then Sublandlord may recover from Subtenant: (a) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such
termination; plus (b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss Subtenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (e) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Subtenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Sublandlord for all of the detriment
proximately caused by Subtenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Sublease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. As used in clauses
(a) and (b) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by 

34

 

allowing interest from the date of termination until the time of award at the maximum rate allowable under applicable law, or, if no such maximum rate applies, at the rate of 10% per annum. As used
in clause (c) above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus 1%. In
addition, Sublandlord shall also have the option to maintain Subtenant's right to possession, in which case this Sublease will continue in effect whether or not Subtenant has vacated or abandoned the
Premises. Sublandlord shall be entitled to enforce all Sublandlord's rights and remedies under this Sublease, including, without limitation, the right to recover Rent as it becomes due. Sublandlord
has the remedy set forth in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Sublandlord may continue this Sublease in effect after Subtenant's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due,
if Subtenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Further, in addition to and independent of any of Sublandlord's other rights and remedies upon a default by
Subtenant hereunder, if Sublandlord elects to terminate this Sublease by reason of a default by Subtenant hereunder, Subtenant shall also be obligated to pay to Sublandlord a fee equal to the
unamortized portion of Sublandlord's sublease costs, calculated as of the effective date of termination of the Sublease. 

 
          16.3    Reentry by Sublandlord.     In the event of any such default by Subtenant
which continues uncured beyond any applicable grace period, Sublandlord shall also have the right, with or without
terminating this Sublease, to reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property; the removed property may be stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of
Subtenant. No reentry or taking possession of the Premises by Sublandlord pursuant to this Section shall be construed as an election to terminate this Sublease unless a written notice of such
intention is given to Subtenant or unless such termination shall have been decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Subtenant shall not interpose any counterclaim of any kind in any action or
proceeding commenced by Sublandlord to recover possession of the Premises. 

 
          16.4    Redemption Rights.     Subtenant, on behalf of itself and any and all persons
claiming through or under Subtenant, waives and surrenders all rights and privileges which it might have,
under California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 1179 or any similar or successor statute, to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Sublease after being dispossessed or ejected from the Premises by process of law or
under the terms of this Sublease or after the termination of this Sublease. 

 
          16.5    Application of Rent Payments.     Subtenant waives any right it may have under
present or future law to designate the items to which any payments made by Subtenant are to be credited. Sublandlord
may apply any payments made by Subtenant to such items as Sublandlord sees fit, irrespective of any designation or request by Subtenant as to the items to which such payments should be credited. 

 
          16.6    Performance by Sublandlord.     If Subtenant shall default in the performance
of any of Subtenant's obligations under this Sublease, Sublandlord, without thereby waiving or curing such default,
may (but shall not be obligated to) perform the defaulted obligation for the account and at the expense of Subtenant, provided that, except in case of an emergency, Sublandlord shall have given
Subtenant notice of such default and such default shall have continued beyond the applicable cure period provided in Section 16.1 hereof. 

 
          16.7    Payment of Sublandlord's Expenses.     All costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees (whether or not legal proceedings are instituted), involved in collecting Rents or enforcing the
obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease, including the cost and expense of instituting and prosecuting legal proceedings or recovering possession of the Premises after default by Subtenant beyond
any applicable notice and cure period, or upon expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease, and any expenses incurred by Sublandlord in connection with any performance by it for the 

35

 

account of Subtenant under Section 16.6, shall be due and payable by Subtenant, on demand, as Additional Charges. 

 
          16.8    Interest.     The amount of any judgment obtained by Sublandlord against
Subtenant in any legal proceeding arising out of a default by Subtenant under this Sublease shall bear
interest until paid at the maximum rate allowed by law, or, if no such maximum rate prevails, at the rate' of 10% per annum. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in California Civil Code
Section 3287, in the case of any damages that were certain or ascertainable by calculation, such interest shall accrue from the day that the right to such damages vested in Sublandlord and in
the case of any unliquidated claim, such interest shall accrue from the day such claim arose. 

 
          16.9    No Waivers.     The failure of Sublandlord to insist, in any one or more
instances, upon the strict performance by Subtenant of any of Subtenant's obligations under this
Sublease, or to exercise any right or remedy given Sublandlord upon a default by Subtenant, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future, and the obligation of Subtenant and
Sublandlord's rights and remedies upon a default shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. Receipt by Sublandlord of Rents with knowledge of a
breach by Subtenant of any obligation of this Sublease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. 

 
          16.10    Remedies Not Exclusive.     The rights and remedies of Sublandlord provided
in this Article 16 for a default by Subtenant are not exclusive, and Sublandlord may exercise any other
right or remedy it may have pursuant to this Sublease, at law or in equity. 

 
          16.11    Rights Subject to Master Sublease.     This Sublease shall be subject and
subordinate in all respects to the Master Sublease and the RML Lease. Should either the Master Sublease and/or the RML Lease
expire or terminate during the term of this Sublease for any reason, this Sublease shall terminate on the date of such expiration or termination thereof with the same force and effect as if such
expiration or termination date had been specified in this Sublease as the expiration date hereof. Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant in the event of any such expiration or termination,
notwithstanding the reason for such expiration or termination, including, without limitation, the default of Sublandlord under the RML Lease. 

 
 

ARTICLE 17
  SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT    
  

 
          17.1    Subordination.     This Sublease, (and all rights of Subtenant hereunder) is
and shall be subordinate to all present and future leases of all or any part of the Building or the Land
(except for leases of office or commercial space by other occupants of the Building); all existing and future mortgages and deeds of trust (each referred to herein as a "mortgage", and the mortgagee
or beneficiary thereof being referred to herein as a "mortgagee") encumbering the Building, the Land or any of such leases, including mortgages also covering other real property; all past and future
advances made under such mortgages, all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of such leases and mortgages; unless the lessor under any such lease or the mortgagee or
beneficiary under any such mortgage, or any of their respective successors in interest, elects that this Sublease shall be superior to its lease or mortgage pursuant to Section 17.2; provided,
however, that Subtenant's subordination to any future leases or mortgages shall be conditioned on Subtenants receiving a non-disturbance agreement with respect thereto. This Section shall
be self-operative; no further instrument of subordination shall be required. However, in confirmation of subordination, Subtenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any
instrument that Sublandlord, the lessor under any such lease or any mortgagee may reasonably request to evidence such subordination. If Subtenant fails to execute, acknowledge or deliver any such
instrument within ten (10) days after request therefor, such failure shall constitute a material default and breach of this Sublease by Subtenant. Any lease to which this Sublease, at the time
referred to, is subordinate is herein called a "Superior Sublease" and the 

36

 

lessor of a Superior Sublease or its successor in interest at the time referred to is herein called a "Superior Lessor". 

 
          17.2    Election to Subordinate.     By written notice to Subtenant, any Superior
Lessor or mortgagee may elect to subordinate its Superior Sublease or mortgage to this Sublease. 

 
          17.3    Notice and Cure of Sublandlord's Default.     If any act or omission of
Sublandlord would give Subtenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this Sublease, or to
claim a partial or total eviction, Subtenant shall not exercise such right: (a) until it has given written notice of the act or omission to Sublandlord and to each mortgagee and each Superior
Lessor whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to Subtenant, which notice shall specifically refer to this Section 17.3 and shall describe Sublandlord's default with
reasonable specificity and detail, specifying the section of this Sublease as to which Sublandlord is in default, and (b) until a reasonable period not to exceed thirty (30) days (unless
the nature of Sublandlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, in which event Sublandlord shall not be in default hereunder if Sublandlord
shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion) for remedying the act or omission shall have elapsed following the
giving of such notice and following the time during which each such mortgagee or Superior Lessor would be entitled under its mortgage or Superior Sublease to remedy the act or omission (which
reasonable period shall in no event be shorter than the period during which Sublandlord would be entitled under this Sublease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy). If, within
said reasonable period, such a mortgagee or Superior Lessor gives Subtenant notice of its intention to remedy the act or omission, and thereafter diligently commences the required remedial action and
pursues it to completion, Subtenant shall have no right to cancel or terminate this Sublease or to claim a partial or total eviction on account of the act or omission. 

 
          17.4    Attornment.     Any Superior Lessor, mortgagee or foreclosure sale purchaser
who succeeds to the rights of Sublandlord under this Sublease or to Sublandlord's interest in the
Building, whether as a result of the exercise of remedies in a Superior Sublease or mortgage or by operation of law, is sometimes referred to herein as a "Successor Sublandlord." If the Successor
Sublandlord does not elect to treat this Sublease as extinguished, upon the Successor Sublandlord's request, Subtenant shall attorn to and recognize the Successor Sublandlord as Subtenant's landlord
under this Sublease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Sublandlord may reasonably request to evidence the attornment (although no writing shall be required in
order to effect or confirm such attornment). Subtenant hereby waives any and all rights to terminate this Sublease, or to treat this Sublease as terminated, as a result of the exercise of remedies or
other occurrence that resulted in any transfer to a Successor Sublandlord. If a Successor Sublandlord requests Subtenant's attornment, this Sublease shall continue in full force and effect and as a
direct lease between the Successor Sublandlord and Subtenant, upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants set forth in this Sublease, subject to the provisions of Section 24.4. 

 
          17.5    Requirements of Superior Lessor or Mortgagee.     If any Superior Lessor or
mortgagee requires modification of this Sublease, Subtenant shall, at Sublandlord's request, promptly execute and deliver to Sublandlord
instruments effecting the modification that the Superior Lessor or mortgagee requires, provided that such modifications do not adversely affect in a material respect any of Subtenant's rights
hereunder. 

 
          17.6    Delivery of Non Disturbance Agreements.     Sublandlord shall use its
reasonable efforts, to provide Subtenant with commercially reasonable non disturbance agreements in favor of Subtenant from
(i) all present Superior Leases and (ii) all future lessors, mortgagees and lien holders with respect to all or any part of the Land or the Building which require Subtenant to
subordinate its interest under this lease to such leases, liens or mortgages. Sublandlord confirms to the best of its knowledge that the Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement dated
January 20, 1984, by and among UCBRC, 

37

 

Trumbull, RML and First Interstate, Sublandlord's predecessor in interest, recorded February 15, 1994, as Instrument No. 84-197842 in the Official Records of Los Angeles
County, California (the "Master Non-Disturbance Agreement") is unmodified and remains in full force and effect. Sublandlord agrees to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to enforce
its rights under the Master Non-Disturbance Agreement at its sole cost and expense. 

 
 

ARTICLE 18
  QUIET ENJOYMENT    
  

        So long as Subtenant timely pays all the Rents and performs all of Subtenant's other obligations hereunder within the time periods permitted under this Sublease,
Subtenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the Sublease Term without hindrance by Sublandlord or any person lawfully claiming through or under Sublandlord, subject,
nevertheless, to the provisions of this Sublease and to Superior Subleases and mortgages. This covenant is a covenant running with the land, and is not a personal covenant of Sublandlord, except to
the extent of Sublandlord's interest in this Sublease and for only so long as such interest shall continue. 

 
 

ARTICLE 19
  ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBLEASES    
  

 
          19.1    Prohibition.     Subtenant shall not mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise
hypothecate this Sublease or the Premises or any part thereof in any manner whatsoever, and any
attempt to do so shall be void and a material breach of and default under this Sublease. Except as provided in Sections 19.2 and 19.3 below, Subtenant shall not, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by
operation of law or otherwise, sublet all or any part of the Premises, or assign or otherwise transfer this Sublease (or its terra and estate), without in each instance obtaining the prior written
consent of Sublandlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, in accordance with this Article. Without limiting the effect of any other provision, Subtenant expressly
agrees that it shall not assign, or otherwise transfer this Sublease (or its term or estate) or sublease any portion of the Premises to any person that would conduct any activity in the Premises
prohibited by Article 6. Any attempt by Subtenant to sublet all or any part of the Premises or to assign or transfer this Sublease (or its term or estate) or to offer or advertise to do so,
without strictly complying with the requirements of this Article, shall be void and a material breach of and default under this Sublease. Except as permitted by Section 19.3 below, use or
occupancy of the Premises by a licensee, concessionaire, or any other person other than Subtenant shall be deemed a sublease subject to the provisions of this Article. Notwithstanding anything in the
foregoing to the contrary, Subtenant may assign this Sublease and/or sublease all or any portion of the Premises to a Permitted Tenant Affiliate, without the express consent of (but with prior written
notice to) Sublandlord. As used herein, the term "Permitted Tenant Affiliate" means an entity that, prior to the transaction, was controlling, under common control with or controlled by Subtenant, but
excluding any
entity formed to avoid the restrictions on transfer by Subtenant hereunder. For purposes of this definition, the word "control," as used above, means with respect to a person that is a corporation,
the right to exercise, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting rights attributable to the shares of the controlled corporation and, with respect to a person that is not a
corporation, the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of the controlled person. The word "person" means an individual,
partnership, trust, corporation, firm or other entity. 

 
          19.2    Corporate and Partnership Transactions.     If Subtenant is a corporation or
limited liability company, a dissolution of the corporation or company, or a transfer of a majority of Subtenant's voting stock
or membership interests (by one or more transactions, other than the sale of publicly traded stock) shall be deemed an assignment of this Sublease subject to the provisions of this Article; but such
provisions (with the exception of Section 19.7 and 19.8) shall not apply to an assignment of this 

38

 

Sublease on account of the transfer to, or a merger transaction with, a corporation into or with which Subtenant is merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of Subtenant's assets are
transferred, provided that (i) a principal purpose of such merger or transfer is not the assignment of this Sublease and (ii) in any of such events proof reasonably satisfactory to
Sublandlord of the net worth of Subtenant immediately prior to such transaction and the prospective net worth of Subtenant's successor immediately following such transaction is delivered to
Sublandlord at least fifteen (15) days before the effective date of such transaction, and Subtenant's successor shall have a net worth following consummation of such transaction, as reasonably
determined by Sublandlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that is at least equal to the greater of (X) the net worth of Subtenant immediately prior to such
transaction, and (Y) the net worth, on the date of the Sublease, of the original named Subtenant, and (iii) duplicate original instrument of assignment and assumption (in which the
transferee assumes all obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease) shall have been delivered to Sublandlord on or prior to the effective date of such transaction. If Subtenant is a partnership,
dissolution of the partnership or transfer of the controlling interest in Subtenant (including by admission of new partners or withdrawal of existing partners having a controlling interest) shall be
deemed an assignment of this Sublease subject to the provisions of this Article, regardless of whether the transfer is made by one or more transactions, or whether the controlling interest before the
transfer or afterwards is held by more than one person. 

 
          19.3    Co-Location of Subtenant Customers.     Subtenant shall have the right to
allow its customers ("Providing Parties"), consistent with the custom and practice of the telecommunications business, to "co
locate" such customers' telecommunications equipment ("Providing Parties Equipment") within the Premises and to allow such Providing Parties to avail themselves of the services consistent with the
Permitted Use by Subtenant of the Premises. Such co-location shall not be considered an assignment or sublease by Subtenant, shall not grant any such Providing Parties any possessory
interest in the Premises, and, as between Sublandlord and Subtenant, any rights and liabilities with respect to the Providing Parties or Providing Parties Equipment shall be the sole responsibility of
Subtenant, including without limitation the movement thereof in and out of the Premises and the security therefor, in the same manner and to the same extent as if the Providing Parties were Subtenant
and Providing Parties Equipment belonged to Subtenant. With respect to any Providing Parties or Providing Parties Equipment, the following shall apply: 

        (a)  Providing Parties Equipment that does not exceed the size and weight requirements contained in Exhibit K shall not
require Sublandlord's approval in accordance with Section 8.1 of this Sublease, and shall be deemed "Approved Providing Parties Equipment" in accordance with Section 8.1. All other
installations of Providing Parties Equipment shall be deemed an Alteration requiring the prior consent of Sublandlord in accordance with Section 8.1 of this Sublease. Upon Sublandlord's
reasonable request, but not more than four (4) times per year, Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with the names of all Providing Parties at the Premises and reasonable evidence of compliance
with the terms of this Section 19.3. 

        (b)  All agreements with Providing Parties shall be entered into using a form agreement approved by Sublandlord, not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, which agreement shall provide, among other things, that the Providing Party shall have no possessory interest in the Premises or the Building, including a release and
indemnification in favor of Sublandlord, that the Providing Party acknowledges that Sublandlord has no duty or obligation to repair or replace any of the Providing Parties Equipment, and requiring
that each of the Providing Parties carry adequate insurance coverage for its equipment and operations at the Premises, which policies shall name Sublandlord as additional insured. 

        (c)  Sublandlord's liabilities and obligations with respect to the Providing Parties and Providing Parties Equipment shall
only be those of Sublandlord to Subtenant pursuant to and accordance with this Sublease, and Sublandlord shall not have any direct liabilities or obligations, 

39

 

nor shall the Providing Parties have any direct rights or claims against Sublandlord, with respect to the locating, presence or removal of the Providing Parties or Providing Parties Equipment on or
with respect to the Premises. 

        (d)  Subtenant shall not have the right to permit any Providing Parties or Providing Parties Equipment to use, possess or in
any way be located on or have any involvement with the Premises of any other portions of the Building except to the extent expressly permitted by this Sublease for Subtenant. This Section 19.3
shall not create any additional rights of Subtenant or Providing Parties, or liabilities of Sublandlord, under or with respect to Providing Parties or Providing Parties Equipment which would not
otherwise apply if the Providing Party were Subtenant or the Providing Parties Equipment belonged to Subtenant. 

        (e)  Any use and occupancy of the Premises by the Providing Parties, or location of any Providing Parties Equipment on the
Premises, shall be subject to the same provisions, as to termination of possession, removal of property or otherwise, as apply to Subtenant under and in accordance with the provisions of this
Sublease. All equipment placed upon the Premises by a third party customer shall remain the personal property of the third party customer, the third parry customer shall release Sublandlord from any
and all claims arising from the presence of the equipment in, on or about the Premises, and if the Subtenant's rights to possession have been terminated, the third party customer shall agree to remove
the equipment within five (5) business days of receipt of notice from Sublandlord, and repair any damage caused by said removal. 

        (f)    The access rights of the Providing Parties shall be subject to security measures in place at the Building from time to
time and all Providing Parties shall comply with the Building's Rules and Regulations and construction rules for the Building. 

        (g)  All out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) incurred by
Sublandlord in connection with the installation, maintenance and operation of Providing Parties Equipment at the Premises shall be borne by Subtenant and shall be payable upon demand as Additional
Rent hereunder, including, without limitation, freight elevator, loading dock and security service charges. 

 
          19.4    Consent by Sublandlord.     

        (a)  Sublandlord shall not be required to consider a request for consent to a proposed sublease or assignment unless and until
Sublandlord shall have received from Subtenant a written request for Sublandlord's consent to such proposed transfer in accordance with this Section (a "Consent Request"), specifying the conditions
for the proposed transfer. Each Consent Request shall include (i) a conformed or photostatic copy of the proposed assignment or sublease, (ii) a statement setting forth in reasonable
detail the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant and the nature of its business, (iii) current financial information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant, including,
without limitation, its most recent financial report, and (iv) Subtenant's calculation of the annualized rental equivalent or effective assignment price, as the case may be, for the proposed
transfer. Provided that all of the foregoing conditions are satisfied, Sublandlord agrees to act reasonably (subject to the terms of Section 19.6(b)) in considering any such Consent Request.
Sublandlord may condition any consent on the curing of any default then existing under this Sublease. If Sublandlord consents to a proposed transfer and it is not actually consummated within
60 days after such consent is given, then such consent shall be of no further force or effect, and Subtenant must submit a new Consent Request to Sublandlord. 

        (b)  Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that a decision by Sublandlord to disapprove a proposed transfer shall be deemed to
have been made in a reasonable manner if any of the following conditions 

40

 

is not satisfied (which conditions, however, shall not be construed as the sole grounds on which Sublandlord may withhold its consent to a proposed transfer): 

          (i)  The
business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and its use of the Premises shall be consistent with the Permitted Use and Section 6.2, shall, in
Sublandlord's good faith judgment, be in keeping with the standards of the Building, and will not violate any "exclusive use" right granted to any other tenant or occupant of the Building; 

        (ii)  The
proposed assignee or subtenant shall be a reputable person of good character, with sufficient assets and income, in Sublandlord's reasonable judgment, to bear the
financial responsibilities in respect of its sublease (or in the case of an assignment, the Sublease), and Sublandlord shall have been furnished with reasonable proof thereof, 

        (iii)  Neither
the proposed assignee or subtenant, nor any person who directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed
assignee or subtenant or any person who controls the proposed assignee or subtenant, shall be (A) a government entity (or subdivision or agency thereof) or (B) an occupant of the
Building on the date the Consent Request is delivered and with respect to whom Sublandlord has vacant space in the Building that is of a size and configuration that would reasonably satisfy such
occupant's need for additional space, or (C) someone with whom Sublandlord has been engaged in discussions regarding the leasing of space in the Building within the three (3) month
period immediately preceding delivery of the Consent Request and with respect to whom Sublandlord has vacant space in the Building that is of a size and configuration that would reasonably satisfy
such occupant's need for additional space; 

        (iv)  The
form of the proposed sublease shall be reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord and shall comply with the applicable provisions of this Article 19; 

        (v)  The
proposed sublease space shall be regular in shape and suitable for normal leasing purposes as a separately demised premises. 

 
          19.5    [Intentionally omitted]     

 
          19.6    Miscellaneous.     

        (a)  Any sublease consented to by Sublandlord shall be expressly subject and subordinate to all of the covenants, agreements,
terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Sublease. Any proposed sub-sublease or proposed assignment of a sublease shall be subject to the provisions of this Article. Subtenant
shall reimburse Sublandlord on demand, as Additional Charges, for any out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses up to but not more than $750)
reasonably incurred by Sublandlord in connection with any actual or proposed assignment or sublease, whether or not consummated, including the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of
the proposed assignee or subtenant. Any assignment of this Sublease to which Sublandlord gives its consent shall not be valid or binding on Sublandlord unless and until the assignee executes an
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Sublandlord, expressly enforceable by Sublandlord, whereby the assignee assumes and agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of this Sublease and to
perform all of the obligations of Subtenant hereunder. 

        (b)  Notwithstanding any sublease to any person or any assignment to any person other than Sublandlord (or Sublandlord's
designee), or any amendments or modifications subsequent thereto, Subtenant will remain fully liable for the payment of Rents and for the performance of all other obligations of Subtenant contained in
this Sublease. Any act or omission of any assignee or subtenant, or of anyone claiming under or through any assignee or subtenant, that violates any of the obligations of this Sublease shall be deemed
a violation of this Sublease by Subtenant, unless, in the case of a sublease to Sublandlord or an assignment to Sublandlord or Sublandlord's designee, such act or 

41

 

omission is an act or omission of Sublandlord or Sublandlord's designee or of anyone claiming under or through any Sublandlord or Sublandlord's designee. 

        (c)  The consent by Sublandlord to any assignment or sublease shall not relieve Subtenant or any person claiming through or
under Subtenant of the obligation to obtain the consent of Sublandlord, pursuant to the provisions of this Article, to any subsequent assignment or sublease. 

        (d)  With respect to each and every sublease authorized by Sublandlord under the provisions of this Article, it is further
agreed that (i) the term of the sublease must end no later than one day before the last day of the Sublease Term; (ii) no sublease shall be valid, and no subtenant shall take possession
of all or any part of the Premises until a fully executed counterpart of such sublease has been delivered to Sublandlord; (iii) each sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to
this Sublease and to all mortgages and Superior Subleases; (iv) Sublandlord may enforce the provisions of the sublease, including collection of rents; (v) in the event of termination of
this Sublease or reentry or repossession of the Premises by Sublandlord, Sublandlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Subtenant, as sublessor, under such sublease,
and such subtenant shall, at Sublandlord's option, attorn to Sublandlord but nevertheless Sublandlord shall not (A) be liable for any previous act or omission of Subtenant under such sublease;
(B) be subject to any defense or offset previously accrued in favor of the subtenant against Subtenant; or (C) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease made without
Sublandlord's written consent or by any previous prepayment of more than one month's rent. 

        (e)  Any material modification or amendment to a sublease shall be deemed a new proposed sublease subject to the terms of this
Article, requiring a new Consent Request. 

 
          19.7    Lapse.     If Sublandlord gives its consent to a proposed sublease or
assignment, and Subtenant fails to deliver to Sublandlord a fully-executed and effective duplicate
original of the assignment or sublease to which Sublandlord has consented within 45 days after the giving of such consent, then Sublandlord's consent shall be null and void, and Subtenant shall
again comply with all of the provisions and conditions of this Article before assigning this Sublease or subletting all or any part of the Premises. 

 
          19.8    Additional Charges.     If Sublandlord shall grant its consent to any
proposed sublease or assignment, then Subtenant, in consideration therefor, shall pay to Sublandlord, as Additional
Charges, a sum equal to 50% of all excess rent (as hereinafter defined) derived from such assignment or sublease shall be paid to
Sublandlord. Such excess rent shall be deemed to be, and shall be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord, as additional rent. Subtenant shall pay such excess rent to Sublandlord immediately as and when such
excess rent is paid to Subtenant. As used in this Section 19.8, "excess rent" shall mean the amount by which the total money and other economic consideration to be paid by the assignee or
subtenant as a result of an assignment or sublease, whether denominated rent or otherwise, exceeds, in the aggregate, the total amount of rent which Subtenant is obligated to pay to Sublandlord under
this Sublease (prorated to reflect the rent allocable to the portion of the Premises subject to such assignment or sublease), less only the reasonable costs paid by Subtenant for additional
improvements installed in the portion of the Premises subject to such assignment or sublease at Subtenant's sole cost and expense for the specific assignee or subtenant in question and approved by
Sublandlord in accordance with the provisions of Article 8 hereof, and reasonable leasing commissions and attorneys' fees paid by Subtenant in connection with such assignment sublease, without
deduction for carrying cost due to vacancy or otherwise. Such costs of additional improvements and leasing commissions shall be amortized without interest over the term of such assignment or sublease
unless, with respect to such additional improvements, such additional improvements have a useful life greater than the term of each assignment or sublease, in which case such additional improvements
shall be amortized without interest over their useful life. 

42

  

 
          19.9    Acceptance of Rent.     If this Sublease is assigned, whether or not in
violation of the provisions of this Sublease, Sublandlord may collect rent from the assignee. If all or any part
of the Premises are sublet, whether or not in violation of this Sublease, Sublandlord may, after default by Subtenant and expiration of Subtenant's time to cure such default, collect rent from the
subtenant. In either event, Sublandlord may apply the net amount collected to payment of Rents, but no such assignment, subletting, or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of
this Article, an acceptance of the assignee or subtenant as a lessee, or a release of Subtenant from the performance by Subtenant of Subtenant's obligations under this Sublease. 

 
          19.10    Actions.     If Sublandlord withholds or conditions its consent to a proposed
sublease, sub-sublease or assignment and Subtenant believes that Sublandlord did so
improperly, Subtenant, as its sole remedy, may prosecute an action for declaratory relief to determine if Sublandlord properly withheld or conditioned its consent, and Subtenant hereby waives and
discharges (i) any claims it may have against Sublandlord or Sublandlord's Affiliates for damages arising from Sublandlord's withholding or conditioning its consent, and (ii) any right
that it may have to terminate this Sublease on account thereof pursuant to Section 1995.310 of the California Civil Code or otherwise.

Party may be dealing, regardless of independent investigation. The Certifying Party shall also include in any estoppel certificate such other information concerning this Sublease as the Requesting
Party may reasonably request.

understandings related to the leasing of the Premises and the respective obligations of Sublandlord and Subtenant
in connection therewith. Sublandlord has not made and is not making, and Subtenant, in executing and delivering this Sublease, is not relying upon, any warranties, representations, promises or
statements, except those that are expressly set forth in this Sublease, including any riders and all exhibits hereto. All prior agreements and understandings between the parties have merged into this
Sublease, which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement of the parties. 

 
          26.3    Amendments.     No agreement shall be effective to amend, change, modify,

unless such agreement is in writing, refers expressly to this Sublease and is signed by Sublandlord and Subtenant. 

 
          26.4    Successors.     Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the
obligations of this Sublease shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided,
however, that no assignment, sublease or other transfer in violation of the provisions of Article 19 shall operate to vest any rights in any putative assignee, subtenant or transferee of
Subtenant. 

 
          26.5    Force Majeure.     Sublandlord and Subtenant shall have no liability
whatsoever hereunder, except with respect to any monetary obligations with regard to the payment of Rents or
other charges to be paid by Subtenant pursuant to this Sublease, on account of. (a) the inability of either party to fulfill, or delay in fulfilling, any of its obligations under this Sublease
by reason of strike, other labor trouble, governmental preemption of priorities or other controls in connection with a national or other public emergency, or shortages of fuel, supplies or labor
resulting therefrom, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the above, beyond either party's reasonable control; or (b) any shutdown, failure or defect in the supply, quantity or
character of electricity or water furnished to the Premises, by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility or others furnishing the Building with electricity or

performance of an obligation of either party, then that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in either party's performance caused by any of the events of force majeure described
above, except for the payment of Rents and other charges to be paid by Subtenant pursuant to this Sublease. 

 
          26.6    Post-Termination Obligations.     Upon the expiration of the Sublease Term or
earlier termination of this Sublease, neither party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Sublease, and except for such obligations as by their nature or under the circumstances can only be, or by the provisions of this Sublease, may be, performed
after such expiration or earlier termination. However, any liability for a payment of Rents or indemnity shall survive the expiration of the Sublease Term or earlier termination of this Sublease.

          4.2    Description.     Subtenant shall have an architect licensed by the State of
California ("Subtenant's Architect".) prepare architectural plans and specifications for the layout and

and electrical working drawings. Mechanical and electrical working drawings shall be prepared at Subtenant's

the foregoing sentence shall be Subtenant's sole remedy for such failure to approve Subtenant's Plans within the time specified. In the event Subtenant's Plans deviate in material respects from the
scope of work described in the Scope Document, Sublandlord shall review Subtenant's Plans in a reasonably prompt manner and endeavor to respond to Subtenant within twenty (20) days following

    PARTIAL TERMINATION AND SECOND AMENDMENT TO SUBLEASE
  (EPOCH NETWORKS, INC.)    
  

        THIS PARTIAL TERMINATION AND SECOND AMENDMENT TO SUBLEASE (this "Amendment") is entered
into as of December 31, 2002, by and between CHARTER HOLDINGS, INC., a Nevada corporation
("Sublandlord"), and EPOCH NETWORKS, INC., a California corporation
("Subtenant"). 

RECITALS  

        A.    Sublandlord and Subtenant are parties to that certain Sublease dated as of November 15, 1999, as amended by that
certain First Amendment to Sublease (the "First Amendment") dated as of March 1, 2000 (collectively, as amended, the
"Sublease"). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Sublease. 

        B.    Pursuant to the Sublease, Subtenant leases from Sublandlord certain premises consisting of 16,577 rentable square feet,
commonly known as Suite LL1-160 ("Suite 160"), and 6,011 rentable square feet, commonly known as Suite LL1-170 (the
"Surrendered Premises"), each located on Lower Level 1 of that certain building commonly known as The Garland Center located at 1200 West Seventh
Street, Los Angeles, California (the "Building"). 

        C.    Sublandlord and Subtenant desire to amend the Sublease to reflect that the Sublease is terminated with respect to the
Surrendered Premises, to provide for certain payments and obligations of Subtenant arising out of the partial termination of the Sublease, to modify Subtenant's monthly installment of Basic Rent and
other payment obligations and to modify other provisions of the Sublease, all as more particularly set forth herein. 

AGREEMENT  

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, Sublandlord and Subtenant agree as
follows: 

 
          1.    CONDITIONS TO PARTIAL TERMINATION OF SUBLEASE.     Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby agree that the Sublease with respect to the Surrendered Premises only shall be terminated for all purposes as of
December 31, 2002, provided that each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied as of such date (the "Partial Termination Conditions"): 

 
 
           (a)    Performance of the Sublease.     Subtenant shall have paid in full all amounts owed pursuant to the terms
   of the Sublease for both Suite 160 and the Surrendered Premises up to and through
December 31, 2002, or such later date which shall be the Effective Date hereunder (defined below), which amounts shall include, without limitation, the payment of all monthly installments of
Basic Rent, any parking charges and Subtenant's Share of Costs of Operation and Taxes for the Surrendered Premises. 

 
 
           (b)    Payments to Sublandlord.     In addition to the amounts indicated in Section 1(a) above, Sublandlord shall have received the Draw Down
Payment and the Reduction Fee (each as defined below) in immediately available funds. 

 
 
           (c)    Surrender of Surrendered Premises.     Subtenant shall have surrendered the Surrendered Premises to
   Sublandlord in broom-clean condition, having removed all personal property and otherwise in the
condition required under the terms of the Sublease. In addition, Subtenant shall return to Sublandlord all pass keys, entry keys and other items which may have been provided in connection with the
Sublease with respect to the Surrendered Premises. Subtenant acknowledges that upon full execution and delivery of this Agreement, Sublandlord may re-lease the Surrendered Premises,
without notice to or consent from Subtenant and without any payment or credit of any kind to Subtenant. 

 

        The
date that all of the Partial Termination Conditions are satisfied shall be the "Effective Date." From and after the Effective Date,
all references to "Premises" in the Sublease and this Amendment shall be deemed to be references to Suite 160. If the Effective Date has not occurred on
or before
December 31, 2002, the Effective Date shall be extended, with Sublandlord's consent, to be the date that all of the Partial Termination Conditions have been fully satisfied. 

 
          2.    REDUCTION FEE.     On or before
December 31, 2002, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord a fee in the amount of $45,000 (the "Reduction
Fee"), in consideration for Sublandlord agreeing to allow Subtenant to reduce the size of its Premises and corresponding obligations under the Sublease. Subtenant acknowledges
that Sublandlord would not have agreed to allow Subtenant to reduce the size of its Premises in the absence of Subtenant's agreement to pay the Reduction Fee and the Draw Down Payment in accordance
with the terms hereof. Accordingly, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the payment of such amount is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty under applicable law, but is intended to be
consideration for this Agreement. 

 
          3.    DRAW DOWN PAYMENT.     

 
 
           (a)    Draw Down Payment.     Currently Sublandlord holds that certain Standby Letter of Credit No. SVB99IS1794
   in the amount of $400,000 (the "Original Letter of
Credit") issued by Silicon Valley Bank in favor of Sublandlord as security for Subtenant's performance under the Sublease. On or before the December 31, 2002,
Sublandlord, with the cooperation and assistance of Subtenant, shall be entitled to and is hereby authorized to draw down on the Letter of Credit in the amount of $100,000 (the
"Draw Down Payment"). The Draw Down Payment shall be received by Sublandlord in immediately available funds, and constitutes partial consideration for
Sublandlord entering into this Agreement. Subtenant confirms that the Draw Down Payment is a proper application of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit and that Sublandlord is entitled to retain,
without liability to Subtenant and Subtenant hereby relinquishes to Sublandlord, all such proceeds of the Letter of Credit. In addition, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the payment of
such amount is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty under applicable law, but is intended to be consideration under this Agreement. Following the disbursement of the Draw Down Payment to Landlord,
the face amount of the Original Letter of Credit shall be $300,000. Sublandlord, through its counsel or through an alternative escrow arrangement acceptable to Sublandlord and Subtenant, shall hold
the Original Letter of Credit until the Replacement Letter of Credit (as defined below) has been posted with Sublandlord. 

 
 
           (b)    Replacement Letter of Credit.     Concurrently with and as a condition to the effectiveness of the
   Consent referenced in Section 5(b) below,
Subtenant shall take all necessary action to cause City National Bank to issue a new letter of credit in the amount of $300,000 (the "Replacement Letter of
Credit"), which will serve as security for Subtenant's obligations under the Sublease as set forth in Article 5 thereof. 

 
 
           (c)    Reduction of Letter of Credit.     The Replacement Letter of Credit shall be subject to reduction
   effective as of December 1 of each year during the term of the Sublease commencing
December 1, 2003 in accordance with the Letter of Credit Reduction Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A, subject to and conditional upon
each of the following: 

	(1)
	no
breach of default shall have occurred under the Sublease; and

	(2)
	for
a consecutive period of at least three (3) months prior to the reduction date, the "EBITDA" of Assignee or Subtenant, as applicable, and their consolidated affiliates, as
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and certified to Sublandlord in writing, shall be positive. 

        Any
reduction of the Letter of Credit shall only occur upon the written request of Subtenant or Assignee, as applicable, to Sublandlord, and after Sublandlord's review of its records.
Subtenant's or 

2

 

Assignee's compliance with the financial criteria referenced above shall be substantiated by the following information: (x) a 10Q financial statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the quarter ending September 30 prior to the effective reduction date, or if no 10Q is available, financial statements audited and certified by a certified public accountant and
dated as of no earlier than September 30; and (y) current financial statements dated as of no earlier than November 30 prior to the effective reduction date certified by
Subtenant's or Assignee's President and Chief Financial Officer under penalty of perjury. Upon a request by Subtenant or Assignee, as applicable, for a reduction in the Replacement Letter of Credit,
Sublandlord shall have thirty (30) days to review records and available information with respect to Subtenant's or Assignee's, as applicable, performance under the Sublease and Subtenant's or
Assignee's, as applicable, financial strength and Subtenant and Assignee also agrees to reasonably cooperate with requests by Sublandlord for information relating to the criteria for reduction.
Accordingly, Section 5.2 of the Sublease shall be of no further force or effect and is superseded hereby. 

 
          4.    RELEASE.     Upon satisfaction of each of the
Partial Termination Conditions, Subtenant shall be fully released and discharged from all liabilities or obligations under the
Sublease arising with respect to the Surrendered Premises, except for those liabilities or obligations that specifically survive the termination or expiration of the Sublease in accordance with its
terms, including, without limitation, any year-end adjustment to Subtenant's obligations for Costs of Operation for the Surrendered Premises as set forth in the Sublease. Further,
Subtenant confirms that Sublandlord has performed all of its obligations under the Sublease and hereby waives and releases any claim or cause of action that Subtenant may now or hereafter have against
Sublandlord under the Sublease with respect to the Surrendered Premises. 

 
          5.    SUITE 160.     

 
 
           (a)    Condition of Suite 160.     Subtenant acknowledges that Subtenant is currently occupying Suite 160 and
   Sublandlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to construct improvements or otherwise
perform work or repairs for Subtenant. Neither Sublandlord nor its agents or representatives have made any representations or promises with respect to the Building or Suite 160, except as expressly
set forth in the Sublease and this Amendment. Subtenant confirms that Subtenant has accepted and will continue to sublease such space
"AS-IS" and that Suite 160 is suited for the use intended by Subtenant and is in good and satisfactory condition. 

 
 
           (b)    Assignment of Sublease with respect to Suite 160.     Subtenant has advised Sublandlord that it wishes to
   assign the sublease with respect to Suite 160 to VitalStream Broadcasting Corporation
("Assignee"). Such assignment shall be subject to the terms and conditions of a Consent to Sublease (the
"Consent"). Subject to the terms of the Consent, if Assignee becomes the holder of Subtenant's interest under the Sublease, Assignee shall be bound by
the terms of Sublease as amended hereby and by the Consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the effectiveness of this Amendment shall not be conditioned upon the effectiveness of the Consent. 

 
          6.    BASE RENT.     Effective as of the Effective
Date, Subtenant shall pay the following Basic Rent for Suite 160. 

	MONTHS:
 
	 	ANNUAL BASIC RENT
	 	MONTHLY INSTALLMENT

	Effective Date - 11/14/04	 	$364,694 ($22.00 × 16,577)	 	$30,391.16
	11/15/04 - 2/27/09	 	$397,848 ($24.00 × 16,577)	 	$33,154.00

        In
addition to the foregoing, Subtenant shall continue to pay all other sums (other than Basic Rent) due pursuant to the terms of the Sublease, as amended hereby. 

 
          7.    COSTS OF OPERATION.     Effective as of the
Effective Date, Subtenant's Share with respect to Suite 160 is agreed to be 2.315%. Base Costs of Operation and Base Taxes shall continue to
be calculated using the Costs of Operation and Taxes for the calendar year 2000. 

3

 

 
          8.    PARKING.     Effective on the Effective Date,
Section 6 of the First Amendment is deleted in its entirety and
Subtenant's non-exclusive parking privileges shall be correspondingly reduced. Thereafter, Subtenant shall have the right to use ten (10) parking privileges only, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in Article 25 of the Sublease. 

 
          9.    CONTINUING LIABILITY.     Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, should the Reduction Fee or the Draw Down Payment be set aside or should Sublandlord be forced to
disgorge any portion of the Reduction Fee or the Draw Down Payment, or any other payment to Sublandlord or proceeds of the Letter of Credit drawn by Sublandlord under the terms of the Sublease as
amended hereby, then the claims of Sublandlord for the full amount of damages to which it is entitled under the Sublease as a result of Subtenant's default thereunder shall be revived without regard
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against all losses, costs, expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs), and judgments incurred by Sublandlord as a result of any challenge to the Reduction Fee, the Draw Down Payment, other payments by Subtenant made pursuant to this
Agreement or additional proceeds of the Letter of Credit drawn by Sublandlord under the terms of the Sublease. 

 
          10.    REPRESENTATIONS OF SUBTENANT.     Subtenant
represents and warrants to Sublandlord that (a) no default exists under the Sublease; (b) Subtenant has not assigned or sublet all or any
portion of its interest in the Sublease; (c) no other person, firm or entity has any right, title or interest in the Sublease; (d) Subtenant has the full right, legal power and actual
authority to enter into this Agreement and to partially terminate the Sublease without the consent of any person, firm or entity; and (e) the individual(s) executing this Agreement on behalf of
Subtenant has the full right, legal power and actual authority to bind Subtenant to the terms and conditions hereof. Subtenant further represents and warrants to Sublandlord that as of the Effective
Date, there will be no mechanic's liens or other liens encumbering all or any portion of the Surrendered Space by virtue of any act or omission on the part of Subtenant, its contractors, agents,
employees, successors or assigns. Notwithstanding the partial termination of the Sublease and the release of liability with respect to the Surrendered Space provided herein, the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 10 shall survive the termination of the Sublease and the closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder
and Subtenant shall be liable to Sublandlord for any inaccuracy or any breach thereof. 

 
          11.    CONFIDENTIALITY.     In consideration for
Sublandlord agreeing to enter into this Amendment, Subtenant agrees that, except as provided by law or compelled by an order of a court, it
shall keep the contents of this Amendment and any information related to the transaction contemplated hereby confidential (provided, however, Subtenant may provide such information to its lenders,
consultants, attorneys and prospective investors in connection with the operation of Subtenant's business, provided that Subtenant shall instruct such parties to maintain the confidentiality of such
information) and further agrees to refrain from generating or participating in any public statement or public notice regarding this transaction within the prior written consent of Sublandlord unless
required under applicable law or by a court order. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if Subtenant is required pursuant to federal securities laws to file the Sublease with the Securities and Exchange Commission (to be placed on EDGAR), Subtenant shall have the right to
make such filing so long as (i) Subtenant notifies Sublandlord of such filing and (ii) Subtenant files the entire Sublease, as amended from time to time, together with the Consent. 

 
          12.    BROKERS.     Subtenant represents and
warrants to Sublandlord that it has not engaged any broker, finder or other person who would be entitled to any commission or fees in
respect of the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Amendment and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord against any loss, cost, liability or expense incurred by Sublandlord as a
result of any claim 

4

 

asserted by any such broker, finder or other person on the basis of any arrangements or agreements made or alleged to have been made by or on behalf of Subtenant. 

 
          13.    CONTINUING EFFECTIVENESS.     The Sublease,
except as amended hereby, remains unamended, and, as amended hereby, remains in full force and effect. 

 
          14.    TERMS AND HEADINGS.     The words
"Sublandlord" and "Subtenant" include the plural as well
as the singular, and words used in any gender include all genders. The titles to sections of this Amendment are not a part of this Amendment and shall have no effect upon the construction or
interpretation of any part hereof. Unless otherwise specified herein, references to a "month" in the Sublease, as amended hereby, during the Term hereof
shall mean and refer to a full calendar month, beginning on the first day of such calendar month and ending on the last day thereof, and all prorations to be performed under the Sublease as amended
hereby shall be based upon the actual number of days in the relevant calendar month. 

 
          15.    COUNTERPARTS.     This Amendment may be
executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which, together, shall constitute one document. 

 
          16.    EXECUTION BY BOTH PARTIES.     Submission of
this instrument for examination or signature by Subtenant does not constitute any agreement or option to enter into the terms set forth herein, and
it is not effective as an amendment to lease or otherwise binding upon either Sublandlord or Subtenant until this Amendment has been executed and delivered by Sublandlord and Subtenant. 

 
          17.    AUTHORIZATION.     Two (2) authorized
officers must sign on behalf of the Subtenant and this Amendment shall be executed by the president or vice-president and
the secretary or assistant secretary of Subtenant, unless the bylaws or a resolution of the board of directors shall otherwise provide. In such case, the bylaws or a certified copy of the resolution
of Subtenant must be furnished to Sublandlord.

Amendment to Sublease dated as of December 31, 2002 (collectively, as amended, the "Sublease"). Currently, Sublandlord holds the above-referenced Letter of Credit, which has a remaining balance
of $300,000. 

        Sublandlord
and Subtenant hereby agree as follows: 

        1.    Upon
full execution and delivery of this Amendment, Subtenant hereby authorizes Sublandlord to forward a request to Silicon Valley Bank in the form of  Exhibit A attached hereto to draw down on the
entire remaining balance of the Letter of Credit, in the amount of $300,000. Sublandlord shall hold
such amount as a Security Deposit under the Sublease (the "Security"), until such amount is delivered to City National Bank ("CNB") pursuant to the terms of this Amendment. 

        2.    Upon
receipt by Landlord of a written confirmation (the "Confirmation") signed by Subtenant and VitalStream Broadcasting Corporation ("VitalStream") confirming that the
proposed transaction with VitalStream (the "Sale") has closed, Sublandlord agrees to wire the Security (less the amount of any actual fees or wiring costs incurred) to CNB, pursuant to the wiring
instructions attached hereto as Exhibit B: 

        3.    In
addition, upon receipt of the Confirmation, Sublandlord agrees to provide to Subtenant and VitalStream an estoppel in the form of  Exhibit C attached hereto, dated as of the date of the closing of
the sale. 

        The
parties acknowledge and agree that the effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to and conditioned upon CNB executing and delivering to Sublandlord an agreement in the form of  Exhibit D attached
hereto, confirming that CNB is unconditionally committed to and will issue a new letter of credit in the form of  Exhibit E attached hereto (the "New Letter of Credit") upon receipt of the Security
to the account specified in  Exhibit D. 

        Please
sign below to confirm your agreement to modify the terms of the Sublease to reflect the terms of this Amendment and return a fully executed copy of the Amendment to my attention.
Submission of this Amendment for signature shall not be binding as an amendment to the Sublease or otherwise until execution and delivery hereof by Sublandlord and Subtenant. All rights of Sublandlord 

 

are hereby expressly reserved. This Amendment may be signed in counterparts and all notices hereunder shall be sent to the respective addresses set forth below the signature blocks hereto.

VITALSTREAM MASTER ACCESS AGREEMENT    
  

        This Master Access Agreement is made and effective as of January 1st, 2003, by and between Netifice
Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Netifice"), and VitalStream Broadcasting
Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("VitalStream"). 

        WHEREAS,
Netifice provides Internet access, hosting and co-location services and related services; and 

        WHEREAS,
VitalStream also provides Internet access, hosting and co-location services and related services; 

        WHEREAS,
Epoch Networks, Inc., Epoch Hosting, Inc. (together ("Epoch")) and VitalStream have entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which VitalStream has
acquired Epoch's hosting and co-location business ("Asset Purchase Agreement") and Epoch, Netifice and VitalStream have entered into a Migration Agreement (the "Migration Agreement")
pursuant to which VitalStream will migrate the hosting and co-location customers acquired from Epoch out of Netifice's Costa Mesa, California data center (the "Costa Mesa Facility"); and 

        WHEREAS,
Netifice desires to provide to VitalStream and VitalStream desires to purchase from Netifice certain Internet access services, which Internet access services may be referred to
herein as the "Service"; 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the facts set forth above it is hereby agreed as follows: 

 
          1.    VitalStream's Bandwidth Commitment.     

 
 
           1.a.    Bandwidth Commitment.     On the terms and conditions set forth herein, Netifice shall make available to
   VitalStream, and VitalStream shall purchase from Netifice, Internet access equal to
an aggregate of *** Mbps of bandwidth during the first three months of this Agreement and *** Mbps of bandwidth for the following nine months of this Agreement ("VitalStream's Bandwidth Commitment").
Any bandwidth used by VitalStream at (i) its Los Angeles Data Center (which VitalStream purchased from Epoch), or (ii) Netifice's Costa Mesa Facility (pursuant to the Migration
Agreement) shall count toward VitalStream's Bandwidth Commitment. 

*** [Pricing and volume information in the preceding paragraph has been omitted pursuant to Rule 24b-2, has been filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is subject to a confidential treatment request.]

 
 
          1.b    Pricing.     During the first three months of the one-year period covered by VitalStream's Bandwidth
  Commitment (such one-year period shall be referred
to herein as the "Commitment Term"), Netifice shall charge *** per Mbps per month for Internet access, for an aggregate of *** per month. During the second three months of the Commitment Term,
Netifice shall charge *** per Mbps per month for Internet access, for an aggregate of *** per month. During the final six months of the Commitment Term, Netifice shall charge *** per Mbps per month
for Internet access, for an aggregate of *** per month. The payments and pricing described in this Section 1.b shall not only apply to bandwidth used by VitalStream at its Los Angeles Data
Center but also for any bandwidth used by VitalStream at Netifice's Costa Mesa Facility pursuant to the Migration Agreement. 

*** [Pricing and volume information in the preceding paragraph has been omitted pursuant to Rule 24b-2, has been filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is subject to a confidential treatment request.]

1

 

 
 
           1.c.    Los Angeles Facilities.     VitalStream shall make adequate rack space and power available in
   VitalStream's Los Angeles Data Center for Netifice's equipment used in the provision of the
Internet access services under this Agreement pursuant to the Co-Location Agreement between Netifice and VitalStream. VitalStream shall also be responsible for the cost of the
cross-connection in VitalStream's Los Angeles Data Center to Netifice's equipment, for which Netifice shall charge $200 (one time only). 

 
          2.    Additional Bandwidth.     

 
 
           2.a.    Purchase of Additional Bandwidth.     VitalStream may at its option purchase additional bandwidth at
   VitalStream's Los Angeles Data Center in an additional amount not to exceed ***Mbps. Netifice shall
charge and VitalStream shall pay *** per Mbps per month for all such additional bandwidth required during the Commitment Term in addition to payment for VitalStream's Bandwidth Commitment. 

*** [Pricing and volume information in the preceding paragraph has been omitted pursuant to Rule 24b-2, has been filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is subject to a confidential treatment request.]

 
 
           2.b.    Measurement of Additional Bandwidth.     In determining whether VitalStream has exceeded VitalStream's
   Bandwidth Commitment for purposes of applying the charge for additional bandwidth, the bandwidth
rate shall be measured each month at preset, discrete time intervals as reasonably determined by Netifice. The top five percent (5%) of the samples so collected shall be disregarded. The highest rate
measured (rounded up to the next whole Mbps) after disregarding the top five percent (5%), minus VitalStream's Bandwidth Commitment, shall be multiplied by ***, to determine the additional bandwidth
charge for the usage for the billing period. If the result of such calculation is zero or less, there shall be no charge for additional bandwidth. Bandwidth shall be shaped at 250Mbps at VitalStream's
Los Angeles Data Center and 100 Mbps at the Costa Mesa Facility. Daily usage may be tracked via http://usage.Netifice.net. 

*** [Pricing and volume information in the preceding paragraph has been omitted pursuant to Rule 24b-2, has been filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is subject to a confidential treatment request.]

 
          3.    Additional Connections.     VitalStream may place additional orders for
Internet access service at other locations where Netifice maintains facilities, which service orders shall become a
part of this Agreement. Bandwidth and other charges related to such service shall be at $125 per Mbps per month during the Commitment Term. Netifice shall provision and manage the local loops required
for such additional connects. Netifice shall invoice VitalStream for the costs of such local loops, including an amount for taxes and Netifice's administrative charge, and VitalStream shall be
responsible for the payment of such costs, including any termination charges, for the full term of such local loops. 

 
          4.    Most Favored Customer Terms.     

        4.a.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and provided that VitalStream is in compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and is
meeting its payment obligations, the Service shall contain prices and terms on a "most favored customer" basis ("MFC Terms"). MFC Terms are the most competitive rates and terms given by Netifice to a
customer for comparable services, taking into account all relevant factors, including creditworthiness, volume,
whether the customer is an end user or reseller of the service and the length of the commitment. In the event that Netifice extends any prices or terms to any of its customers after the date of this
Agreement that are any more favorable 

2

 

than the terms set forth in this Agreement, Netifice shall promptly (i) notify VitalStream within 30 days of such prices and terms; and (ii) extend such prices and terms to
VitalStream

charges not in so disputed. VitalStream shall cooperate with Netifice to resolve expeditiously any dispute. 

 
          14.    Default; Termination.     Either party may terminate this Agreement upon the
other party's breach of any term, condition or obligation hereunder if such breach is not remedied (if
remedial) within thirty (30) days after the date
of written notice with respect to any undisputed monetary obligation or other breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other party if such other party

Exhibit A    
  

 
  Service Level Agreement
  For Dedicated Access Services    
  

        Netifice Communications ("Netifice") shall provide Dedicated Access Customers with Service Credit if Netifice fails to meet its stated  Installation Guarantee,
Network Availability Guarantee, Outage Notification Guarantee, Internet Latency Guarantee and/or Packet Loss Guarantee, as
defined in this Service Level Agreement ("SLA"). This SLA is part of Netifice's commitment to its Dedicated Access Customers to stand behind its internal processes, network and quality of service. 

 
          Section 1:    Installation Guarantee     

        Netifice
guarantees that Internet connectivity for a Dedicated Access Customer shall be installed within thirty (30) business days after an order has been accepted and entered
into Netifice's provisioning system by its Account Coordination team. Subject to the following conditions, if Netifice fails to meet this commitment, Dedicated Access Customer shall receive a credit
("Installation Service Credit") equal to the amount of the installation or activation fee paid by Dedicated Access Customer to Netifice for Internet access. 

	•
	Dedicated
Access Customer or its representative shall cooperate with Netifice in the installation process, including accurate completion of an order form
containing detailed demarcation information and other onsite contact listings. Changes in an order made by or on behalf of Dedicated Access Customer or the occurrence of events outside the control of
Netifice, such as Force Majeure, may result in delays for which Netifice is not responsible hereunder.

	•
	Dedicated
Access Customer or its representative must be physically present at the time of installation and must provide access to the designated building's
phone closet(s) on the date(s) agreed to by
Netifice's Installation Coordination Department. Such building access and escort must also be provided to the local telecom provider to perform its tasks necessary for installation of the circuit.

	•
	Only
circuits ordered to existing Netifice POPs are covered hereunder, and special circuits, including those ordered for remote areas or using
non-standard technology, are not covered.

	•
	All
circuits (including local loops, cross-connects and end-link circuits) must be ordered by Netifice, and all equipment must be provided and
configured by Netifice or approved by Netifice.

	•
	When
Netifice provides equipment, which Dedicated Access Customer installs and configures, Dedicated Access Customer must physically plug in such equipment
promptly upon its receipt by Dedicated Access Customer. 

        In
the event of a delay in installation that entitles Dedicated Access Customer to Installation Service Credit, Dedicated Access Customer shall be liable for the local-loop
charges with respect to such order beginning on the actual installation date despite the grant of Installation Service Credit by Netifice. See  Section 7 hereof for the Service Claim Process.

 
          Section 2:    Network Availability Guarantee     

        Netifice
guarantees 99.999% network uptime. Any Dedicated Access Customer who experiences Network Unavailability in excess of one (1) hour during a calendar month may receive
Service Credit as follows: 

	•
	Network Unavailability greater than one (1) hour, but less than four (4) hours, in a calendar
month: one (1)-day Service Credit.

	•
	Network Unavailability equal to or greater than four (4) hours, but less than eight (8) hours, in a calendar
month: one (1)-week Service Credit.

	•
	Network Unavailability equal to or greater than eight (8) hours in a calendar month: one (1)-month
Service Credit. 

        Unless
Dedicated Access Customer has been notified of Network Unavailability by Netifice, Dedicated Access Customer shall have notified the Netifice Network Operations Center
(888-443-7624) of such Network Unavailability promptly during such Network Unavailability. See Section 7 hereof for the Service Claim Process. 

 
          Section 3:    Outage Notification Guarantee     

        Netifice
guarantees that it shall contact Dedicated Access Customer, either by phone or by email, within one (1) hour after the occurrence of a Network Unavailability resulting in
complete downtime for such Dedicated Access Customer. If Netifice fails to contact Dedicated Access Customer within one (1) hour of the occurrence of Network Unavailability, Dedicated Access
Customer may receive a one (1)-day Service Credit. The Outage Notification Guarantee shall not apply to special circuits, including those using nonstandard technology, such as ATM, SMDS,
wireless service or others, or to Digital Subscriber Line service. See Section 7 hereof for the Service Claim Process. 

 
          Section 4:    Internet Latency Guarantee     

        Netifice
guarantees an average monthly transmission rate of 85 milliseconds or less on the Netifice Network. Netifice measures Internet latency, the average round trip transmission on
the Netifice Network, at approximately thirty (30) minute intervals and calculates the average at the end of each calendar month. Any Dedicated Access Customer who experiences average Internet
latency in excess of 85 milliseconds as so calculated for any calendar month may receive Service Credit as follows: 

	•
	Average Internet latency in excess of 85 milliseconds for any calendar month: one (1)-week
Service Credit

	•
	Average Internet latency in excess of 85 milliseconds in each of two (2) consecutive calendar months:
one (1)-month Service Credit 

        See  Section 7 hereof for the Service Claim Process. 

 
          Section 5:    Packet Loss Guarantee     

        Netifice
guarantees that packet loss shall be not more than 0.3% on the Netifice Network during any calendar month. Netifice measures packet loss on the Netifice Network at approximately
thirty
(30) minute intervals and calculates the average at the end of each calendar month. Any Dedicated Access Customer who experiences a packet loss on the Netifice Network in excess of 0.3% as so
calculated for any calendar month may receive a one (1)-day Service Credit. See Section 7 hereof for the Service Claim Process. 

 
          Section 6:    Definitions     

        "Average Monthly Recurring Charges" shall mean the average of the monthly fees for Internet access services charged by Netifice, which
includes only the base monthly fee for metered services, and which excludes all local loop and other telco and third-party charges, for the three (3) months (or such shorter period during which
Dedicated Access Customer has been receiving service) immediately preceding the month in which the event giving rise to the claim for Service Credit occurs. 

        "Dedicated Access Customer" shall, except for purposes of the Installation Guarantee, mean any customer with a binding contract for
dedicated Internet access of 1 Gbps or less of bandwidth. For purposes of the Installation Guarantee, "Dedicated Access Customer" shall mean any customer with a binding contract for dedicated Internet
access of not more than 1.54 Mbps of bandwidth. 

10

 

        "Netifice Network" shall mean the telecommunications network and network components owned and operated by Netifice, including points of
presence ("POP"). The Netifice Network does not include Customer Premises Equipment, telephone circuits between a POP and Dedicated Access Customer's location or any networks or network equipment not
owned or controlled by Netifice. 

        "Network Unavailability" shall mean a failure of the Netifice Network resulting in Dedicated Access Customer being unable to connect to
the Netifice Network from Dedicated Access Customer's location. Network Unavailability shall not include failure as a result of Netifice Network planned maintenance, other planned outages, packet
loss, problems with Dedicated Access Customer's applications, equipment or facilities, acts or omissions of Dedicated Access Customer, any use or user of the service authorized by Dedicated Access
Customer, Force Majeure or local access provider outages or service interruptions. 

        "Service Credit" shall (except for Installation Service Credit) mean: 

	•
	One (1)-day Service Credit: one-thirtieth (1/30) of Dedicated Access
Customer's Average Monthly Recurring Charges.

	•
	One (1)-week Service Credit: seven-thirtieths (7/30) of Dedicated Access
Customer's Average Monthly Recurring Charges.

	•
	One (1)-month Service Credit: thirty-thirtieths (30/30) of Dedicated Access Customer's Average
Monthly Recurring Charges. 

        Service
Credits shall not be available for any violation of this SLA that is attributable to Dedicated Access Customer's tampering with any equipment. 

 
          Section 7:    Service Claim Process     

        To
initiate a claim for Service Credit with respect to the Network Availability, Outage Notification, Internet Latency or Packet Loss Guarantees, Dedicated Access Customer shall submit a
completed Service Credit Request Form within seven (7) business days after the end of the month during or for which the event occurred which
gives rise to the claim for Service Credit. To be considered for Installation Service Credit with respect to the Installation Guarantee, Dedicated Access Customer shall submit a Service Credit Request
not later than seven (7) business days after the actual installation date. The projected installation date shall be stated in the "Welcome Letter" sent to each Dedicated Access Customer.
Netifice shall acknowledge receipt of all Service Credit Requests Forms via email within twenty-four (24) hours after such receipt and shall review all requests within ten
(10) business days after such receipt. Customer shall be notified via email upon resolution of the request. 

 
          Section 8:    Service Credit     

        Netifice
shall issue Installation Service Credit or Service Credit, as the case may be, to Dedicated Access Customer's account upon approval of Dedicated Access Customer's Service Credit
Request Form. Credits shall appear on the invoice issued in the month following the month in which the Service Credit Request Form was approved.

Service Level Agreement
  For Managed Security    
  

        The following service level warranties are applicable to all Netifice Managed Security, except as explicitly noted. The timeframe for measuring SLAs will be fixed
as the calendar month for all Customers. The maximum payout by Netifice for SLA violations during a calendar month will be the Netifice Recurring Monthly Services Fee for the particular Managed and
Monitored device. 

Security Operation Center (SOC)  

        Netifice guarantees that the SOC will be available to the Internet 99.9% of the time, measured on a monthly basis not including scheduled maintenance outages. If
the SOC is not available to the Internet for more than 0.1% of the month, Netifice will credit the Customer with one Service Credit. Additional service credits are prorated to the Customer on a
one-for-one basis based on the outage time experienced by the Operation Center, for outages lasting longer than one day. 

 
 

SOC Scheduled Maintenance Outages    
  

        Scheduled outages are classified as either Class A or Class B: 

        Class A Outages:    Netifice can at its sole discretion schedule maintenance outages for the SOC with 24 hours
notice to the Customer. Class A applies to outages schedules for any item that may affect security of the SOC or any SOC Customer or similar event. Customer will be notified of scheduled
maintenance outages via both the Netifice Secure Internet Portal, and a designated single point of contact through the method selected by the Customer (telephone, email, fax or pager). 

        Class B Outages:    Netifice can, at its sole discretion, schedule maintenance outages for the SOC with 120 hours
notice to the Customer. Class B applies to outages scheduled for architecture changes, routine maintenance and deploying additional features to the SOC. Customer will be notified of 

15

 

scheduled maintenance outages via both the Netifice Secure Internet Portal, and a designated single point of contact through the method selected by the Customer (telephone, email, fax or pager). 

Reporting Guarantee  

        Netifice will notify a designated single point of contact via a method elected by the Customer (telephone, email, fax or pager) if it is not capable of monitoring
Customer security devices. Netifice determines availability of security devices using industry standard network management techniques. If Netifice determines that a managed device is unavailable for
30 minutes, it will deem the device unmonitored and notify the Customer. 

Managed Devices (only applicable to Netifice Managed Security Services)  

        Netifice guarantees that it will provide device management as outlined in the change request matrix. For each failure to adhere to the requirements in the change
request matrix, the end-user will be granted one Service Credit. 

 
 

Managed Device Scheduled Maintenance Outages    
  

        At times it will be necessary to schedule a maintenance outage on Customer based security devices for regular maintenance and upkeep (bug patches, OS
fixes, etc.). Netifice will schedule such fixes with a minimum of 24 hours notice to the Customer. Netifice will make a best effort to avoid scheduling such outages during "business hours". If
a scheduled maintenance outage is necessary on an emergency basis to prevent a possible security violation, Netifice can notify the Customer with one-hour advance notice. The Customer will
be notified of scheduled maintenance outages via the Netifice Secure Internet Portal and a designated single point of contact through the method selected by Netifice (telephone, email, fax or pager). 

Monthly Reporting  

        Monthly digest reports of the previous month's service will be available by the 5th of the month via the Netifice Secure Internet Portal. If monthly digest
reports are not available as guaranteed, Netifice will credit the Customer one Service Credit. 

Backup of Device Configurations  

        Netifice stores a copy of Customer's security device configurations at the Netifice Security Operations Center ("SOC") to facilitate reconstruction in the event
of a Customer hardware failure. 

Service Credit Definition:  

        One Service Credit is financial credit to a particular Customers Monthly Services device Fee equal to the prorated amount of 24 hours of service
(calculated by annualizing the Monthly Recurring Fee for the customer device in question and dividing by 365).

Service Level Agreement
  For End to End VPN Services    
  

 
  END-TO-END VPN (E2E-VPN) SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (SLA)    
  

        Netifice's E2E-VPN SLAs are industry leading network performance commitments that address network availability, latency, packet delivery, MTTR,
Customer Notification, and Circuit Turnup metrics for a customers complete "End-to-End" WAN IP infrastructure, including multi-network packet traversal, CPE and related
equipment, "last mile" local loops, and multi-site egress points. This SLA applies to measurements from each circuit termination end-point (xDSL, Frame Relay, or
Point-to-Point service) into the customer's enterprise network or Internet Gateway. E2E VPN SLA's are only applicable to private access circuits on Netifice and partner
networks as indicated and do not apply to public Internet based transport. 

        Netifice's
E2E-VPN SLA's address complete network availability and IP packet traversal of an entire VPN Tunnel or circuit across multiple network interconnection and peering
points as depicted in the figure below: 

  

 
          1.    SLA Overview     

        The
Netifice E2E VPN Service Level Agreement is comprised of the following commitments: 

	SLA Component
	 	Performance Guarantee

	End-to-End Network Availability (with Dial Failover)	 	99.9% Availability (per customer circuit)
	End-to-End Network Availability (without Dial Failover)	 	99.5% Availability (per customer circuit)
	End-to-End Network Latency	 	160ms roundtrip packet delivery per circuit
	End-to-End Packet Delivery	 	99.7% roundtrip packet delivery per circuit
	Mean Time to Repair	 	8 Hours per Circuit (Business)

24 Hours per Circuit (Basic)
	Automated Electronic Outage Notification to Customer	 	5 minutes

 
          2.    E2E Network Availability Commitment     

        Description    Netifice's commitment for Network Availability is measured in minutes of circuit uptime
over the monthly billing period. Network Availability addresses the total number of minutes in a billing month during which a circuit or dial backup connection between the Subscriber's CPE device 

17

 

and the customer's Enterprise Egress Point or Internet Handoff Point is available to transport IP packets, including availability of CPE, Router, Switch, IDF/MDF punchdown blocks and other required
Hardware to enable circuit IP connectivity. Network Availability is calculated as follows: 

	Network

Availability	 	=	 	(Total Mins of Connectivity available during month) -

(Total Mins Connectivity unavailable during Month)
 (Total Minutes In Month)

        Definition    Network non-availability begins when an SNMP poll sent from the Netifice
Network Management Server (NMS) to the subscriber CPE, Enterprise Egress Router, or Internet Gateway is unsuccessful and ends when the next ICMP poll is successfully answered. Network
non-availability does not include periods of service degradation, such as slow data transmission (covered in Network Latency SLA). A "Trouble Ticket" is the official method used by the
Customer to advise Netifice of perceived Network non-availability. Netifice scheduled outages and maintenance, emergency maintenance, and Customer or End User caused outages (scheduled or
unscheduled) will not be considered in the total minutes of outage equation. 

        Measurement    Network Availability is measured by Netifice's VNOC network monitoring tool suite and
statistics will be published monthly for each customer on a secure web site. The Network Management Servers send a SNMP poll packet across each circuit to each customer endpoint device continuously in
3 minute increments and records each poll/answer sequence for aggregation into the Monthly average calculation for each circuit. 

        Remedy    Netifice Engineers utilize Vnoc management tools to proactively monitor all circuits and
network devices 7x24. If Customer suspects a network availability problem, Customer shall open a trouble ticket with Netifice, upon which Netifice and Customer shall perform joint testing to verify
and resolve the problem. If the monthly Network Availability objective was not met as measured at the end of any given billing cycle month, the customer must notify the Netifice Customer Support
Center to request a credit to be issued the following billing cycle in accordance with the following schedule: 

	E2E Network Availability

During Monthly Billing Period

(with Dial failover)
	 	Maximum Available Monthly

Credit per Circuit

	> = 99.9%	 	No Credit
	50% - 99.8%	 	1% MRC credit for each incremental percentage point below 99.9% that the circuit was unavailable during the month
	< 50%	 	100% MRC credit for the affected circuit

	E2E Network Availability

During Monthly Billing Period

(without Dial Failover)
	 	Maximum Available Monthly

Credit per Circuit

	> = 99.5%	 	No Credit
	50% - 99.4%	 	1% MRC credit for each incremental percentage point below 99.5% that the circuit was unavailable during the month
	<50%	 	100% MRC credit for the affected circuit

 
          3.    E2E Network Latency—160ms packet delivery minimum level of  service     

        Description    Netifice will use all reasonable efforts to provide customer with a minimum average
round-trip network latency (response time) metric of 160ms as measured during a monthly billing 

18

 

period. The average latency of each day's performance is calculated and rolled up into an average for the monthly billing cycle and is calculated as follows: 

	Average Network Latency	 	=	 	Avg (tRcvd - tSent)

where tSent = the time when the ICMP request packet is sent

where tRcvd = arrival time of the response packet for the request packet sent earlier
	

 	
 	

 	
 	

--> Each Day's average is then averaged into a monthly calculation.

        Definition    Network Latency (response time) is defined as the time it takes a 32 byte
ICMP Ping packet to complete a roundtrip traversal of a circuit from the Netifice NMS server to the WAN interface of an End User/Subscriber's Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), Customer's Enterprise
Egress point, or Internet Gateway. This network latency measurement includes the serialization delay on the WAN interface of the CPE and all network components up to Customer's port and/ or Router. 

        Measurement    Network Latency will be measured by Netifice's VNOC network monitoring tool suite and
statistics will be published monthly for each customer on a secure web site. Up to three 32byte ICMP ping packets are sent in 3 minute increments from the NMS server to each circuit endpoint device.
The average network latency for the monthly billing period is then calculated as the mathematical average of each days average latency calculation. If Customer suspects a network latency problem,
Customer shall open a trouble ticket with Netifice. After notifying Netifice, Netifice and Customer shall perform joint testing to verify and resolve the problem. 

        Remedy    If Customer suspects a network latency problem, Customer shall open a trouble ticket with
Netifice upon which Netifice and Customer shall perform joint testing to verify and resolve the problem. If the monthly Network Latency objective was not met as measured at the end of any given
billing cycle month, the customer must notify the Netifice Customer Support Center to request a credit to be issued the following billing cycle in accordance with the following schedule 

	E2E Average Network Latency

During Monthly Billing Period
 
	 	Maximum Available Monthly

Credit per Circuit

	< = 160ms	 	No Credit
	161 - 180 ms	 	5% of Circuit MRC
	181 - 200 ms	 	10% of Circuit MRC
	>200 ms	 	25% of Circuit MRC

 
          4.    E2E Packet Delivery—99.7% packet delivery minimum level of  service     

        Description    As a commitment to prevent network congestion, Netifice will use commercially reasonable
efforts to provide a minimum average packet delivery metric of 99.7% across Netifice backbone and partner network circuits as measured during a monthly billing period. The average packet delivery of
each day's performance is calculated and rolled up into an average for the monthly billing cycle and is calculated as follows: 

	Average Packet Availability	 	=	 	(Total Number of Ping Packets Sent during Day) -

(Total Number of Ping Packets Lost during Day)
 (Total Number of Ping Packets Sent During Day)
	

 	
 	

 	
 	

--> Each Day's average is then averaged into a monthly calculation.

        Definition    Packet Delivery addresses the percentage of 32 byte ICMP Ping packets
dropped across any given circuit measured from the Netifice NMS servers to the WAN interface of an End User/Subscriber's Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), Customer's Enterprise Egress point, or
Internet Gateway. 

19

 

        Measurement    Packet Loss will be measured by Netifice's VNOC network monitoring tool suite and
statistics will be published monthly for each customer on a secure web site. Up to three 32byte ICMP ping packets are sent in 3 minute increments from the NMS server to each circuit endpoint device.
The average packet loss for the monthly billing period is then calculated as the mathematical average of each days average packet loss calculation. If Customer suspects a packet loss problem, Customer
shall open a trouble ticket with Netifice. After notifying Netifice, Netifice and Customer shall perform joint testing to verify and resolve the problem. 

        Remedy    If Customer suspects a packet delivery problem, Customer shall open a trouble ticket with
Netifice, upon which Netifice and Customer shall perform joint testing to verify and resolve the problem. If the monthly Packet Delivery objective was not met as measured at the end of any given
billing cycle month, the customer must notify the Netifice Customer Support Center to request a credit to be issued the following billing cycle in accordance with the following schedule: 

	E2E Average Packet Delivery

During the Monthly Billing Period
 
	 	Maximum Available Monthly

Credit per Circuit

	> = 99.7%	 	No Credit
	95% to 99.6%	 	5% of Circuit MRC
	90% to 94.9%	 	10% of Circuit MRC
	<90%	 	25% of Circuit MRC

 
          4.    Mean Time to Restore (MTR) Service     

        Description    Netifice is committed to quickly and effectively solving any service related issue that
customer may experience. Therefore, Netifice strives to maintain a Mean-Time-To-Repair (MTTR) metrics as follows: 

	Business Class Service	 	8 Business Hours per Circuit
	Basic Class Service	 	24 Business Hours per Circuit

        Definition    Mean-Time-To-Repair ("MTTR") is the
period of time beginning when either Netifice or the customer opens a Priority 1,2,or 3 trouble ticket with the Netifice Technical Support Center indicating a circuit is unavailable to transport IP
packets, and ending when service is restored (closing of a trouble ticket),. 

        Measurement    MTTR is calculated as the statistical mean of all the customer's Priority 1,2, and 3
trouble tickets in a given monthly billing period and will be published monthly for each customer on a secure website. Netifice will assign each trouble ticket a Priority level based upon the impact
of the service issue on the Customer's business, as determined by Netifice as follows (see Customer Support Priority & Escalation Procedures document for more detailed explanation of severity
levels): 

	Priority 1	 	Core Network Segment Down, Not passing IP Traffic
	Priority 2	 	Multi-User or Office Circuit Down
	Priority 3	 	Single User Circuit Down
	Priority 4	 	Single User Functionally Impaired

        Remedy    If the monthly Packet Delivery objective was not met as measured at the end of
any given billing cycle month, the customer must notify the Netifice Customer Support Center to request a 10% credit to be applied to each affected circuit in the following billing cycle. 

 
          5.    Automated Customer Outage Notification     

        Netifice
is committed to quickly and effectively notifying key customer contacts of any service related issue that the customer may experience. Therefore, Netifice utilizes automated
monitoring and notification tools built into its VNOC suite to automatically notify predetermined customer personnel 

20

 

or trouble-ticketing systems of service affecting outages via an automated email within 5 minutes of occurrence. 

 
          6.    Installation & Turnup Times—Telco + 5 Business Days
    

        Netifice
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete installation of the xDSL, Frame Relay, or Point-to-Point Access Service within five
(5) business days after the actual ILEC loop installation and inside wiring and CPE has been completed. Netifice will not be held responsible for events beyond its control, which delay or
preclude installation (e. g., accessibility to end-user premise, wiring closets, availability of end-user, force majeure, etc.) The installation will be determined to be
completed correctly based upon a post-installation performance check confirming that the end-user can properly access the Netifice Network. If the customer does not provide the
proper dial up configuration (e. g., IP address, DHCP, WINS, DNS, etc.), then the installation service level commitment specified herein does not apply. 

        In
the event that a customer reports a missed obligation and Netifice verifies the missed obligation within the first 15 days of a the billing period the credit will appear on the
next invoice. If the missed obligation is reported and verified after the 15th day of the billing cycle the credit will appear on the invoice for the next billing cycle. 

 
          7.    General Terms & Conditions     

        a.    All
network performance parameters are based on the assumption that Customer's network is appropriately engineered (e.g.,
DS3 or T1 circuits are maintained in accordance with the over-subscription guidelines set forth herein).
