Waiver of Claims. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord, in connection with Landlord’s activities under this Paragraph 14, may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Project, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Project, including portions of the Common Areas, or perform work to the Building and/or within the Project, which work may create noise, dust, vibration, odors or leave debris in the Project. Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises in performing activities under this Paragraph 14, but Tenant hereby agrees that such activities shall not: constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant; entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent; make Landlord liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant’s business; or entitle Tenant to any compensation or damages for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant’s personal property or improvements, or for any inconvenience or annoyance resulting from such activities.

Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any notice it receives of the violation of any law or requirement of public authority, and at Tenant’s expense Tenant shall comply with all laws and requirements of public authorities which shall, with respect to the Demised Premises or the use and/or occupation thereof, or the abatement of any nuisance therein, impose any violation, order or duty on Landlord or Tenant, arising from # Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises other than as permitted by law or this lease, # the manner of conduct of Tenant’s business or operation of its installations, equipment or other property in the Demised Premises, # any cause or condition created by or at the instance of Tenant, including the performance of any work performed by Landlord for or on behalf of Tenant, or # breach of any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Tenant shall not be required to make any structural or other substantial change in the Demised Premises unless the requirement arises from a cause or condition referred to in clause (ii) , [(iii) or (iv) above].

Landlord reserves the right, without any liability to Tenant, to stop service of any of the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, electric, sanitary, elevator or other Building systems serving the Demised Premises, or the rendition of any of the other services required of Landlord under this lease, whenever and for so long as may be necessary, by reason of accidents, emergencies, strikes or the making of repairs or changes which Landlord is required by this lease or by law to make or in good faith deems necessary, or by reason of difficulty in securing proper supplies of fuel, steam, water, electricity, labor or supplies, or by reason of any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. If occupancy of the Demised Premises or a part thereof is interrupted for 5 consecutive business days by the act or omission of Landlord, as contrasted with that of the public utility servicing the Building or as provided in Section 19.03, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of all of the rent allocable to such space for the period of such interruption.

The Company has not received written notice from any Governmental Body or any third party of # any Hazardous Substances which have been generated, treated, stored, handled or removed from or disposed of on the Owned Real Property by the Company in violation of any Environmental Law, # any Hazardous Substances which have migrated onto the Owned Real Property from any adjacent property or which have migrated, emanated or originated from the Owned Real Property onto any other property, # any actual or alleged material violation or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, pending or threatened investigation of a material violation (defined, if quantifiable, as a violation whose financial impact is or is expected to be greater than $15,000) of any Environmental Law or Occupational Safety and Health Laws by the Company or with respect to the Owned Real Property, or # any abatement, removal, remedial, corrective or other response actions required of the Company or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, any third party in connection with presence of Hazardous Substances on the Owned Real Property.

Consumption Data. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is subject to the requirements of California’s Nonresidential Building Energy Use Disclosure Program, as more particularly specified in California Public Resources Code Sections 25402.10 et seq. and regulations adopted pursuant thereto. All disclosures, whether made pursuant to the foregoing statute and regulations or other Applicable Laws now existing or hereafter adopted, are collectively referred to herein as “Required Energy Disclosures”. Tenant acknowledges that future Required Energy Disclosures made during the Term of this Lease (and for at least one year thereafter) will be based, in part, on Tenant’s energy usage within the Building, records of which are required to be maintained, and transmitted to the ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager system, by electric and gas utilities companies. Tenant hereby authorizes (and agrees that Landlord shall have the authority to authorize) any electric or gas utility company providing service to the Building to disclose, from time to time, so much of the data collected and maintained by it regarding Tenant’s energy consumption data as may be necessary to cause the Building to participate in the ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager system and similar programs. Tenant further authorizes Landlord to disclose information concerning energy use by Tenant, either individually or in combination with the energy use of other tenants, as applicable, in connection with any Required Energy Disclosures (including data relating to carbon dioxide emissions associated with the operation of the Building), whenever Landlord determines, in good faith, that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with Applicable Laws. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after request by Landlord, provide consumption data in a form reasonably required by Landlord for # any utility billed directly to Tenant or any subtenant or licensee of Tenant; and # any submetered or separately metered utility supplied to the Premises, which Landlord is not responsible for reading. Further, if Tenant utilizes separate service providers from those of Landlord, Tenant hereby consents to Landlord obtaining the consumption data directly from such service providers and, within ten (10) days after written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to \Landlord and the service providers such written releases as the service providers may request evidencing Tenant’s consent to deliver the consumption data to Landlord. If Tenant fails to deliver any release or to provide any information requested hereunder within said ten (10) day period, then Landlord may charge Tenant the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100) per day for each day after expiration of said ten (10) day period until such release or consumption data is delivered to Landlord, in addition to any other rights or remedies afforded to Landlord for a default pursuant to Paragraph 27 of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to notify Tenant of the making of Required Energy Disclosures; provided, however, that to the extent disclosure to Tenant is required by Applicable Laws, such disclosure may be satisfied by making Required Energy Disclosures available for review by Tenant in the Building management office. Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any Losses arising out of, resulting from, or otherwise relating to the making of any Required Energy Disclosures 15.6 Interruption of Utilities. There shall be no abatement of rent and Landlord shall not be liable in any respect whatsoever, for the inadequacy, stoppage, interruption or discontinuance of any utility or service due to riot, strike, labor dispute, breakdown, accident, repair, in cooperation with governmental request or directions, or any other cause whatsoever, unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors. Any interruption or discontinuance of service shall not, except as otherwise provided by Applicable Laws, be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, nor shall it render Landlord liable to Tenant for any injury, loss or damage by abatement of rent or otherwise, nor shall it relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any material portion thereof as a consequence of a cessation of utilities # not caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party and either within the reasonable control of Landlord to correct or covered by rental interruption insurance then carried by Landlord or # caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s employees, agents or contractors (each, a “Utility Cessation Event”), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Utility Cessation Event, and if such Utility Cessation Event continues for more than five (5) consecutive Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of such notice (“Utility Cessation Abatement Period”), then the Base Rent and Tenant’s Percentage Share of Operating Expenses shall be abated after expiration of the Utility Cessation Abatement Period and continuing for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any material portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable square footage of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable square footage of the Premises.

Base Rent and Additional Rent, as defined in Paragraph 4.B below, with the exception of the initial Base Rent as provided in Paragraph 4.C below, shall be paid on or before the first (1st) day of each month. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be payable without notice or demand and without any deduction, offset, or abatement, in lawful money of the United States of America. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid directly to Sublessor at the applicable address set forth below Sublessor’s signature to this Sublease or such other address as may be designated in writing by Sublessor. Base Rent and Additional Rent for any period during the Term hereof which is for less than one (1) month of the Term shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment based on a thirty (30) day month. If an increase in Base Rent becomes effective on a date other than the first day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for that month shall be the sum of the two applicable rates, each prorated for the portion of the month during which the rate is in effect.

All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any abatement of Rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Base Rent, required to be paid by Tenant hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on Tenant’s part to be performed hereunder, including Tenant’s obligations under Paragraph 11 hereof, and such failure shall continue for fifteen (15) days after notice thereof by Landlord, in addition to the other rights and remedies of Landlord, Landlord may make any such payment and perform any such act on Tenant’s part. In the case of an emergency, no prior notification by Landlord shall be required. Landlord may take such actions without any obligation and without releasing Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations. All sums so paid by Landlord and all incidental costs incurred by Landlord and interest thereon at the Applicable Interest Rate, from the date of payment by Landlord, shall be paid to Landlord on demand as Additional Rent.

Application of Payments. All payments of accrued interest and/or principal and interest hereon shall be payable in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. All payments received shall be applied: # first, to payment of accrued and unpaid interest, if any; # second, to payment of any outstanding principal then due, if any; # third to late charges, if any, then due and owing; # fourth, to reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs of collection of the Loan; and # fifth, absent an Event of Default, to Borrower (and otherwise to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Note until such principal shall have been fully repaid); provided, however, following an Event of Default and until cured, if cured and if Lender accepts the cure, all payments shall be applied in any order determined by Lender in its sole discretion. All payments due hereunder shall be made without offset, demand (unless expressly required by this Agreement or another Loan Document), counterclaim, deduction, abatement, defense or recoupment, each of which Borrower hereby waives; provided payment shall not be deemed a waiver of defenses or counterclaims.

Interruption of Use. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service (including telephone and telecommunication services), or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, when such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by breakage, repairs, replacements, or improvements, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building or Project after reasonable effort to do so, by any riot or other dangerous condition, emergency, accident or Casualty (as that term is defined in Section 11.1 below) whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or other parties, or by any other cause; and such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises or, except as provided in Section 19.5.2, below, relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant's business, including, without limitation, loss of

ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency) to enter the Premises to # inspect them; # show the Premises to prospective purchasers, or to current or prospective mortgagees, ground or underlying lessors or insurers or, during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, to prospective tenants; # post notices of nonresponsibility (to the extent applicable pursuant to then Applicable Law); or # alter, improve or repair the Premises or the Building, or for structural alterations, repairs or improvements to the Building or the Building's systems and equipment. Landlord may make any such entries without the abatement of Rent, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, and may take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises by Landlord in the manner hereinbefore described shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises.
