2.02 TERM

(a) The Commencement Date shall be the date Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant in accordance with Section 2 of the Workletter; provided, however, that in the event such delivery occurs prior to the Projected Commencement Date, the Commencement Date shall be the earlier to occur of (i) the Projected Commencement Date, or (ii) the date Tenant first accepts possession of, or otherwise occupies for any purpose, all or any part of the Premises. In the event the Commencement Date differs from the Projected Commencement Date, the Expiration Date shall be hereby changed from the Projected Expiration Date by the identical difference.

If Tenant fails to enter into such agreement, then the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date shall be the dates designated by Landlord in such agreement.

2.03 FAILURE TO GIVE POSSESSION

If the Landlord shall be unable to deliver possession of the Premises on the Projected Commencement Date by reason of the following: (i) the holding over or retention of possession of any tenant, tenants or occupants, or (ii) for any other reason, then Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for the failure to give possession on said date. Under such circumstances the rent reserved and covenanted to be paid herein shall not commence until the Premises are made available to Tenant by Landlord, and no such failure to give possession on the Projected Commencement Date shall affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of the Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall have the option at any time after eight (8) months after the Projected Commencement Date and before such delivery of the Premises to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord to that effect, in which event neither party shall have any liability to the other as a result of such delays or termination.

2.05 CONDITION OF PREMISES

Except for defects stated in such 60-day notice and Latent Defects (defined below) of which Tenant gives Landlord notice within eighteen (18) months after Tenant takes possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have accepted the Premises “AS IS” in the condition existing on the date Tenant first takes possession, and to have waived all claims relating to the condition of the Premises. Landlord shall proceed diligently to correct the defects stated in such notice unless Landlord disputes the existence of any such defects. In the event of any dispute as to the existence of any such defects, the decision of Landlord’s architect shall be final and binding on the parties. No agreement of Landlord to alter, remodel, decorate, clean or improve the Premises or the Building and no representation regarding the condition of the Premises or the Building has been made by or on behalf of Landlord to Tenant, except as may be specifically stated in this Lease or in the Work Letter.

Rent Adjustments due from Tenant to Landlord for any Adjustment Year shall be Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such year in excess of Operating Expenses for the Operating Expenses Base Year and Tenant’s Share of Taxes for such year in excess of Taxes for the Taxes Base Year.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for 2006 in excess of Operating Expenses for the Operating Expenses Base Year, and (b) Tenant’s Share of Taxes for 2006 in excess of Taxes for the Taxes Base Year, shall each be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in 2006 from and after the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365.

4.02 STATEMENT OF LANDLORD

Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the expiration of the Operating Expenses Base Year and the Taxes Base Year and each Adjustment Year thereafter, Landlord will furnish Tenant a statement (“Landlord’s Statement”) showing the following:

(i) Operating Expenses and Taxes for the Operating Expenses Base Year and Taxes Base Year and thereafter for the last Adjustment Year;

(ii) The amount of Rent Adjustments due Landlord for the last Adjustment Year, less credit for Rent Adjustment Deposits paid, if any; and

(iii) Any change in the Rent Adjustment Deposit due monthly in the current Adjustment Year, including the amount or revised amount due for months preceding any such change pursuant to Landlord’s Statement.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord within sixty (60) days after receipt of such statement any amounts for Rent Adjustments then due in accordance with Landlord’s Statement. Any amounts due from Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section shall be credited to the Rent Adjustment Deposit next coming due, or refunded to Tenant within sixty (60) days of completion of such statement if the Term has already expired provided Tenant is not in default hereunder. No interest or penalties shall accrue on any amounts which Landlord is obligated to credit or refund to Tenant by reason of this Section 4.02. Landlord’s failure to deliver Landlord’s Statement or to compute the amount of the Rent Adjustments shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to deliver such items nor constitute a waiver or release of Tenant’s obligations to pay such amounts. The Rent Adjustment Deposit shall be credited against Rent Adjustments due for the applicable Adjustment Year. During the last complete calendar year or during any partial calendar year in which the Lease terminates, Landlord may include in the Rent Adjustment Deposit its estimate of Rent Adjustments which may not be finally determined until after the termination of this Lease. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent Adjustments survives the expiration or termination of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the sum of Monthly Base Rent and the Rent Adjustments be less than the Monthly Base Rent payable.

4.03 BOOKS AND RECORDS

Landlord shall maintain books and records showing Operating Expenses and Taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. The Tenant or its representative (which representative shall be a certified public accountant licensed to do business in the state in which the Property is located and whose primary business is certified public accounting) shall have the right, for a period of one (1) year following the date upon which Landlord’s Statement is delivered to Tenant, to examine the Landlord’s books and records with respect to the items in the foregoing statement of Operating Expenses and Taxes during normal business hours, upon written notice, delivered at least three (3) business days in advance. If Tenant does not object in writing to Landlord’s Statement within one (1) year of Tenant’s receipt thereof, specifying the nature of the item in dispute and the reasons therefor, then Landlord’s Statement shall be considered final and accepted by Tenant. Any amount due to the Landlord as shown on Landlord’s Statement, whether or not disputed by Tenant as provided herein shall be paid by Tenant when due as provided above, without prejudice to any such written exception.

If after such examination by Tenant, Tenant disputes any item or amount of any item reflected on Landlord’s Statement, Tenant shall promptly provide written notice thereof to Landlord, and Landlord and Tenant shall thereafter work in good faith to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) calendar days after Landlord’s receipt of notice thereof, an audit shall be performed at Landlord’s principal accounting offices by a national or California certified public accounting firm whose primary business is certified public accounting and who is selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. There shall be no more than one (1) audit of Operating Expenses for any twelve (12) month period. An audit for any Adjustment Year must be commenced within one (1) year after Landlord’s delivery of the Landlord’s Statement, or the right to audit Operating Expenses shall be deemed waived. Tenant agrees to diligently pursue and complete (or abandon) any audit commenced by Tenant and, further, that its failure to either commence an audit with respect to any Landlord’s Statement within such one (1) year period or to commence litigation with respect to such Landlord’s Statement’s audit results within six (6) months after such audit commencement shall conclusively constitute its waiver of all objections it may have with respect to any aspect such Landlord’s Statement. Tenant shall provide Landlord a copy of such audit, whether such audit shows an overstatement or understatement of Operating Expenses. All costs and expenses of the audit shall be paid by Tenant unless the audit shows that Landlord overstated Operating Expenses for the Expense Stop calendar year by more than five percent (5%), in which case Landlord shall pay the non-contingency fee costs and expenses of the audit up to a maximum of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500.00). After determination of the amount of Operating Expenses for the entire period under audit (after review and resolution of all questions and objections of Landlord with respect to such audit), Landlord shall refund to Tenant any amount so determined to be an overcharge of Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses and Tenant shall pay any amount so determined to be an underpayment of Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses within thirty (30) days after such determination. Tenant shall keep any information gained from such audit confidential and shall not disclose it to any other party except where Tenant is legally required to do so. The exercise by Tenant of its audit rights hereunder shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay, prior to any request for inspection and examination of Landlord’s books and records or any audit, all sums due hereunder without limitation, the disputed Operating Expenses.

4.04 PARTIAL OCCUPANCY

For purposes of determining Rent Adjustments, if the Building is less than 95% occupied during all or a portion of any year during the Term, Landlord shall make appropriate adjustments to the Operating Expenses for such year employing sound accounting and management principles consistently applied, to determine the amount of Operating Expenses that would have been paid or incurred by Landlord had the Building been 95% occupied, and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount includable in Operating Expenses for such year. In the event that the Real Property is not fully assessed for all or a portion of any year during the Term, then Taxes shall be adjusted to an amount which would have been payable in such year if the Real Property had been fully assessed. In the event any other tenant in the Building provides itself with a service of a type which Landlord would supply under the Lease without an additional or separate charge to Tenant, then Operating Expenses shall be deemed to include the cost Landlord would have incurred had Landlord provided such service to such other tenant.

4.05 TENANT OR LEASE SPECIFIC TAXES

In addition to Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, Rent Adjustment Deposits and other charges to be paid by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than federal or state inheritance, general income, gift or estate taxes) whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto: (a) upon, allocable to, or measured by the Rent payable hereunder, including any gross receipts tax or excise tax levied by any governmental or taxing body with respect to the receipt of such rent; or (b) upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (c) upon the measured value of Tenant’s personal property located in the Premises or in any storeroom or any other place in the Premises or the Property, or the areas used in connection with the operation of the Property, it being the intention of Landlord and Tenant that, to the extent possible, such personal property taxes shall be billed to and paid directly by Tenant; or (d) resulting from Landlord Work if any, Tenant Work or Tenant Alterations to the Premises, whether title thereto is in Landlord or Tenant; or (e) upon this transaction. Taxes paid by Tenant pursuant to this Section 4.05 shall not be included in any computation of Taxes payable pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02.

ARTICLE FIVE

SECURITY DEPOSIT

(a) Tenant shall pay Landlord, concurrently with execution of this Lease, in immediately available funds the amount of the Security Deposit specified in Section 1.01 as security (“Security”) for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of each and every term, provision, covenant, and condition of this Lease. If Tenant fails timely to perform any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease or any other document executed by Tenant in connection with this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of any Rent or the repair of damage to the Premises caused by Tenant (excluding normal wear and tear) then Landlord may use, apply, or retain the whole or any part of the Security for the payment of any such Rent not paid when due, for the cost of repairing such damage, for the cost of cleaning the Premises, for the payment of any other sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s failure to perform, and otherwise for compensation of Landlord for any other loss or damage to Landlord occasioned by Tenant’s failure to perform, including, but not limited to, any loss of future Rent and any damage or deficiency in the reletting of the Premises (whether such loss, damages or deficiency accrue before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord) and the amount of the unpaid past Rent, future Rent loss, and all other losses, costs and damages, that Landlord would be entitled to recover if Landlord were to pursue recovery under Section 11.02(b) or (c) of this Lease. If Landlord so uses, applies or retains all or part of the Security, Tenant shall within five (5) business days after demand pay or deliver to Landlord in immediately available funds the sum necessary to replace the amount used, applied or retained. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of Tenant’s terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Security (except any amount retained for application by Landlord as provided herein) shall be returned or paid over to Tenant no later than thirty (30) days after the latest of: (i) the Termination Date; (ii) the removal of Tenant from the Premises; (iii) the surrender of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with this Lease; or (iv) the date Rent Adjustments owed pursuant to this Lease have been computed by Landlord and paid by Tenant. Provided, however, in no event shall any such return be construed as an admission by Landlord that Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder.

(b) The Security shall not be deemed an advance rent deposit or an advance payment of any kind, or a measure of Landlord’s damages with respect to Tenant’s failure to perform, nor shall any action or inaction of Landlord with respect to it be a waiver of, or bar or defense to, enforcement of any right or remedy of Landlord. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security separate from its general funds and shall not have any fiduciary or other duties concerning the Security except as set forth in this Section. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security. In the event of any sale, lease or transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security, or balance thereof, to the vendee, transferee or lessee and any such transfer shall release Landlord from all liability for the return of the Security. Tenant thereafter shall look solely to such vendee, transferee or lessee for the return or payment of the Security. Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Security or any interest in it and Landlord shall not be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance, and regardless of one or more assignments of this Lease, Landlord may return the Security to the original Tenant without liability to any assignee. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights of Tenant under the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code or other Law, now or hereafter enacted, regarding security deposits.

(c) If Tenant fails timely to perform any obligation under this Article Five, such breach shall constitute a Default by Tenant under this Lease without any right to or requirement of any further notice or cure period under any other Article of this Lease, except such notice and cure period expressly provided under this Article Five.

jka v14-Continental_Grand-Learning_Tree-Lease

(2) Landlord shall ventilate the Premises during Standard Operating Hours and shall furnish heat or air conditioning comparable to other Class A building in the El Segundo, California when in the reasonable judgment of Landlord it is required for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises during Standard Operating Hours, subject to any requirements or standards relating to, among other things, energy conservation, imposed or established by governmental agencies. Upon request, Landlord shall make available at Tenant’s expense heat or air conditioning for use at all other times, provided that such request is made no later than 2:00 P.M. on the date of such service or by 2:00 P.M. on the date preceding a National Holiday or weekend and provided further that the minimum use of such additional heat or air conditioning and the cost thereof shall be determined by Landlord based on Landlord’s actual costs of such additional hear and air conditioning service and confirmed in writing to Tenant as the same may change from time to time.

(3) Landlord shall furnish electric current to the Premises at all times. Tenant’s use of electric current shall at no time exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Building or the risers or wiring installation therein. Tenant shall not install or use or permit the installation or use of any computer or electronic data processing equipment in the Premises other than personal computers without the prior written consent of Landlord.

(4) Landlord shall furnish water for drinking, cleaning and lavatory purposes only in the Common Areas of the Building, as well as hot and cold water in the kitchen areas of the Premises.

(5) Provided that the Premises are used exclusively as offices and are kept reasonably in order by Tenant, Landlord shall provide janitorial services in the Premises five (5) days per week, excluding National Holidays; however, in no event materially less than such services then being provided in comparable office buildings in the El Segundo market. If the Premises are not used exclusively as offices and education classroom facilities (provided Section 1.01 permits such use), Tenant or persons approved by Landlord shall keep the Premises clean and in order to the satisfaction of Landlord, but at Tenant’s sole expense. No persons other than Tenant and those persons approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Premises for the purpose of keeping the Premises clean and in order. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of removal of any of Tenant’s refuse and rubbish, to the extent that such refuse and rubbish removed by Landlord exceeds the refuse and rubbish usually attendant upon the use of premises as offices.

(6) Landlord shall replace, as necessary, the light bulbs in the Building standard lighting fixtures installed by Landlord. Tenant shall replace, as necessary, all bulbs and fluorescent tubes in non-Building standard lighting fixtures, if any, installed in the Premises. If Tenant shall fail to make any such replacement within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord, Landlord may make such replacement and charge the cost of labor and materials involved therein to Tenant, as additional rent.

(b) In addition to any after-hours use of the Building’s heating, ventilation or air conditioning systems under Section 6.01(a)(2) above, Landlord may impose a reasonable charge upon Tenant for all utilities and services used by Tenant or at the Premises which involves (1) any substantial recurrent use of the Premises at any time other than Standard Operating Hours, (2) any use beyond that which Landlord is required to furnish under Section 6.01(a) above, (3) any special cooling or ventilating needs created in certain areas of the Premises by special telephone equipment, computers or other similar equipment or uses by Tenant, or (4) any use of electrical service in the Premises (including, without limitation, all lighting) in excess of seven (7) watts per square foot of Usable Area of the Premises per hour during Standard Operating Hours. At any time and from time to time during the term of this Lease, Landlord may in its sole discretion install meters or other similar devices in the Premises or the Building for the purpose of measuring the electricity or other utilities supplied to the Premises. If such meter or other device shows at any time that utilities have been supplied to the Premises for which Landlord may impose a charge as provided in this Section 6.01(b), then the cost of such meter or similar device and the cost of installation thereof shall be borne by Tenant and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such costs within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s invoice thereof.

(c) Tenant agrees to cooperate fully with Landlord and to abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the use of the above-described utilities and services to be provided by Landlord. Any failure to pay any excess costs as described above shall constitute a breach of the obligation to pay Rent under this Lease and shall entitle Landlord to the rights granted herein, at law or in equity as a result of such a breach.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make reasonable modifications to the above standards for utilities and services.

6.02 TELEPHONE SERVICES

All telegraph, telephone, and communication connections which Tenant may desire shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in Landlord’s sole discretion, and the location of all wires and the work in connection therewith shall be performed by contractors approved by Landlord and shall be subject to the direction of Landlord, except that such approval is not required as to Tenant’s telephone equipment (including cabling) within the Premises and from the Premises in a route designated by Landlord to any telephone cabinet or panel provided (as existing or as installed as part of Landlord’s Work, if any) on Tenant’s floor for Tenant’s connection to the telephone cable serving the Building, so long as Tenant’s equipment does not require connections different than or additional to those to the telephone cabinet or panel provided. Except to the extent of such cabling within the Premises or from the Premises to such telephone cabinet or panel, Landlord reserves the right to designate and control the entity or entities providing telephone or other communication cable installation, removal, repair and maintenance in the Building (so long as such providers’ charges are at then market rates) and to restrict and control access to telephone cabinets or panels; notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may use any entity for such services with Landlord’s prior approval, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (“Tenant’s Communications Provider”). In the event Landlord designates a particular vendor or vendors to provide such cable installation, removal, repair and maintenance for the Building and Tenant does not use Tenant’s Communications Provider, Tenant agrees to abide by and participate in such program. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay all costs incurred in connection with the installation of telephone cables and communication wiring in the Premises, including any hook-up, access and maintenance fees related to the installation of such wires and cables in the Premises and the commencement of service therein, and the maintenance thereafter of such wire and cables; and there shall be included in Operating Expenses for the Building all installation, removal, hook-up or maintenance costs incurred by Landlord in connection with telephone cables and communication wiring serving the Building which are not allocable to any individual users of such service but are allocable to the Building generally. If Tenant fails to maintain all telephone cables and communication wiring in the Premises and such failure affects or interferes with the operation or maintenance of any other telephone cables or communication wiring serving the Building, if upon notice to Tenant (which may be verbal if Landlord believes an emergency situation exists) Tenant fails to act immediately to perform such repairs, restorations or alterations necessary in order to eliminate any such interference, then Landlord may by verbal notice require Tenant to shut down the equipment, wiring or cables believed to be causing the interference, and if not so shut down, then

8

jka v14-Continental_Grand-Learning_Tree-Lease

upon further verbal notice Landlord (or any vendor hired by Landlord) may enter into and upon the Premises forthwith and perform such repairs, restorations or alterations as Landlord deems necessary in order to eliminate any such interference (and Landlord may recover from Tenant all of Landlord’s costs in connection therewith). No later than the Termination Date, Tenant agrees to remove all telephone cables and communication wiring installed by Tenant for and during Tenant’s occupancy, which Landlord shall request Tenant to remove. Except for Landlord’s gross negligence, Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any of its agents or employees shall be liable to Tenant, or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, customers or invitees or anyone claiming through, by or under Tenant, for any damages, injuries, losses, expenses, claims or causes of action because of any interruption, diminution, delay or discontinuance at any time for any reason in the furnishing of any telephone or other communication service to the Premises and the Building.

6.03 DELAYS IN FURNISHING SERVICES

In the event of any failure to furnish or delay in furnishing the services, including any utilities, to be supplied by Landlord, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to have service promptly resumed. Where the cause of any such failure, stoppage or interruption of such utilities or services is within the system or control of a utility company or public or quasi-public entity outside Landlord’s control, notification to such utility or entity of such failure, stoppage or interruption and request to remedy the same shall constitute “good faith efforts” by Landlord to have service promptly resumed. Should any equipment or machinery furnished by Landlord break down or for any cause cease to function properly, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair same promptly, but Tenant shall have no claim for abatement of Rent or damages on account of any interruption of service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be in breach of this Lease nor be liable to Tenant for damages or otherwise, for any failure to furnish, or a delay in furnishing, or a change in the quantity or character of any service when such failure, delay or change is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, improvements or mechanical breakdowns by the act or default of Tenant or other parties or by an event of Force Majeure. No such failure, delay or change shall be deemed to be an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises, or relieve Tenant from paying Rent or from performing any other obligations of Tenant under this Lease, without any deduction or offset. Failure to any extent to make available, or any slowdown, stoppage, or interruption of, the specified utility services resulting from any cause, including changes in service provider or Landlord’s compliance with any voluntary or similar governmental or business guidelines now or hereafter published or any requirements now or hereafter established by any governmental agency, board, or bureau having jurisdiction over the operation of the Property, shall not render Landlord liable in any respect for damages to either persons, property, or business, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant or work an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant of Tenant’s obligations for fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event and to the extent that Tenant is unable to occupy the Premises for more than five (5) consecutive business days in any Lease Year (the “Eligibility Period”) as a result of Landlord’s (or its agent’s) failure to provide access or services which Landlord is obligated to provide, but excluding any period occupancy is prevented to the extent caused by any of the following: (i) caused by any act or omission of Tenant, any assignee, any subtenant or any other occupant of the Premises, or (ii) where Tenant or any assignee requests Landlord to make a decoration, alteration, improvement or addition, or (iii) caused by Force Majeure, or (iv) caused by a matter located outside of the Property and beyond the control of Landlord, then Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments shall abate in the proportion in which the area of the Premises which is unusable and unused bears to the total area of the Premises on a per diem basis from the expiration of the Eligibility Period until the earlier of restoration of the applicable service or access or Tenant’s re-occupancy or use of the affected portion of the Premises.

6.04 CHOICE OF SERVICE PROVIDER

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole option, to the extent permitted by applicable law and except as otherwise provided under Section 6.02 of this Lease, elect to change, from time to time, the company or companies which provide services (including electrical service, gas service, water, telephone and technical services) to the Property, the Premises and/or its occupants. Except if Landlord believes an emergency situation exists, Landlord shall provide Tenant at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice (x) of any work by Landlord on any such equipment or machinery if an interruption of utilities or service to Tenant is scheduled as part of such work or (y) if Landlord schedules an interruption of utilities or service supplied by Landlord which are not directly obtained by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not and does not make any representations or warranties concerning the identity or identities of the company or companies which provide services to the Property and the Premises or its occupants and Tenant acknowledges that the choice of service providers and matters concerning the engagement and termination thereof shall be solely that of Landlord. The foregoing provision is not intended to modify, amend, change or otherwise derogate any provision of this Lease concerning the nature or type of service to be provided or any specific information concerning the amount thereof to be provided. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and each of its service providers in connection with any change in service or provider.

ARTICLE SEVEN

7.01 POSSESSION AND USE OF PREMISES

(a) Tenant shall occupy and use the Premises only for the uses specified in Section 1.01 to conduct Tenant’s business. Tenant shall not occupy or use the Premises (or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises) for any purpose or in any manner which: (1) is unlawful or in violation of any Law or Environmental Law; (2) may be dangerous to persons or property or which may increase the cost of, or invalidate, any policy of insurance carried on the Building or covering its operations; (3) is contrary to or prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Lease or the rules and regulations of the Building set forth in Article Eighteen; or (4) would tend to create or continue a nuisance.

(b) Tenant shall comply with all Environmental Laws pertaining to occupancy and use of the Premises by Tenant and concerning the proper use storage, handling and disposal of any Hazardous Material introduced to the Premises, the Building or the Property by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents (defined below). For purposes hereof, “Tenant’s Agents” shall mean any assignees, or any subtenants, or other occupants of the Premises permitted or suffered by Tenant or assignees or subtenants, or any employees, servants, agents, contractors, licensees, customers, visitors or invitees of any of them. Landlord shall comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to the Property other than those to be complied with by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents pursuant to the preceding sentences. Tenant and Tenant’s Agents shall not introduce, use, generate, store, handle or dispose of any Hazardous Material in, on, or about the Property without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, except that such consent shall not be required to the extent of Hazardous Material packaged and contained in office products for consumer use in general business offices in quantities for ordinary day-to-day use provided such use does not give rise to, or pose a risk of, exposure to or release of Hazardous Material. In the event that Tenant is notified of any investigation or violation of any Environmental Law arising from activities of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents at the Premises, Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord a copy of such notice. In such event or in the event Landlord reasonably believes that there exists a violation of Environmental Law by Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, Landlord may conduct such tests and studies relating to compliance by Tenant with Environmental Laws or the alleged presence of Hazardous Materials upon the Premises as Landlord deems desirable, all of which shall be completed at Tenant’s expense. Landlord’s inspection and testing rights are for Landlord’s own protection only, and Landlord has not, and shall not be deemed to have

9

jka v14-Continental_Grand-Learning_Tree-Lease

assumed any responsibility to Tenant or any other party for compliance with Environmental Laws, as a result of the exercise, or non-exercise of such rights. Tenant hereby indemnifies, and agrees to defend, protect and hold harmless, the Indemnitees from any and all loss, claim, demand, action, expense, liability and cost (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or in any way related to the presence of any Hazardous Material introduced to the Premises or the Property during the Lease Term by Tenant or other occupants of the Premises, or their employees, servants, agents, contractors, customers or invitees. In case of any action or proceeding brought against the Indemnitees by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Landlord, Tenant covenants to defend such action or proceeding by counsel chosen by Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion. Landlord reserves the right to settle, compromise or dispose of any and all actions, claims and demands related to the foregoing indemnity. If any Hazardous Material is released, discharged or disposed of on or about the Property and such release, discharge or disposal is not caused by Tenant or other occupants of the Premises, or their employees, servants, agents, contractors customers or invitees, such release, discharge or disposal shall be deemed casualty damage under Article Fourteen to the extent that the Premises are affected thereby; in such case, Landlord and Tenant shall have the obligations and rights respecting such casualty damage provided under such Article.

(c) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.) and regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder, as all of the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time (collectively referred to herein as the “ADA”) establish requirements for business operations, accessibility and barrier removal, and that such requirements may or may not apply to the Premises, the Building and the Project depending on, among other things: (1) whether Tenant’s business is deemed a “public accommodation” or “commercial facility”, (2) whether such requirements are “readily achievable”, and (3) whether a given alteration affects a “primary function area” or triggers “path of travel” requirements. The parties hereby agree that: (a) Landlord shall be responsible for ADA Title III compliance in the Common Areas, except as provided below, (b) Tenant shall be responsible for ADA Title III compliance in the Premises, (c) Landlord may perform, or require that Tenant perform, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of, ADA Title III “path of travel” requirements triggered by or arising from any change in Tenant’s use of the Premises from that described in Section 1.01(17) above, and (d) Landlord may perform and Tenant shall be responsible for a portion of the cost of, ADA Title III compliance in the Common Areas or “path of travel” requirements necessitated or triggered by or arising from (i) any aspect of Tenant Alterations (provided, however, that unless (ii) below is applicable, Tenant shall not be responsible under this clause (d) for more than the lesser of 25% of the cost of such requirements or $10,000 for each Tenant Alteration), or (ii) the Building being deemed to be a “public accommodation” instead of a “commercial facility” as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises (provided, however, that Tenant shall not be responsible under this clause (d) for more than 50% of the cost of such requirements). Tenant shall be solely responsible for requirements under Title I of the ADA relating to Tenant’s employees.

(d) Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to participate in traffic management programs generally applicable to businesses located in or about the Building and Tenant shall encourage and support van and car pooling by, and staggered and flexible working hours for, its office workers and service employees to the extent reasonably permitted by the requirements of Tenant’s business. Neither this Section or any other provision of this Lease is intended to or shall create any rights or benefits in any other person, firm, company, governmental entity or the public.

(e) Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and to comply with any and all guidelines or controls concerning energy management imposed upon Landlord by federal or state governmental organizations or by any energy conservation association to which Landlord is a party or which is applicable to the Building.

(f) Tenant shall comply with all recorded covenants, conditions and restrictions now or hereafter affecting the Project (collectively, the “Underlying Documents”). Tenant agrees that Landlord may, without Tenant’s prior consent, modify the terms of the Underlying Documents without affecting Tenant’s obligations to comply with the terms thereto, so long as such modifications do not materially, adversely affect Tenant’s rights or materially increase or affect Tenant’s obligations thereunder.

7.02 LANDLORD ACCESS TO PREMISES; APPROVALS

(a) Tenant shall permit Landlord to erect, use and maintain pipes, ducts, wiring and conduits in and through the Premises, so long as Tenant’s use, layout or design of the Premises is not materially affected or altered. Landlord or Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter upon the Premises in the event of an emergency, or to inspect the Premises, to perform janitorial and other services, to conduct safety and other testing in the Premises and to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or the Building or other parts of the Property as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable (including all alterations, improvements and additions in connection with a change in service provider or providers). Janitorial and cleaning services shall be performed after Standard Operating Hours. Any entry or work by Landlord may be during Standard Operating Hours and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that any entry or work shall not materially interfere with Tenant’s access to or occupancy of the Premises.

(b) If Tenant shall not be personally present to permit an entry into the Premises when for any reason an entry therein shall be necessary or permissible, Landlord (or Landlord’s agents), after attempting to notify Tenant (unless Landlord believes an emergency situation exists), may enter the Premises without rendering Landlord or its agents liable therefor, and without relieving Tenant of any obligations under this Lease.

(c) On not less than twenty-four (24) hours advance notice given during Standard Operating Hours, Landlord may enter the Premises for the purpose of conducting such inspections, tests and studies as Landlord may deem desirable or necessary to confirm Tenant’s compliance with all Laws and Environmental Laws or for other purposes necessary in Landlord’s reasonable judgment to ensure the sound condition of the Property and the systems serving the Property. Landlord’s rights under this Section 7.02(c) are for Landlord’s own protection only, and Landlord has not, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any responsibility to Tenant or any other party, as a result of the exercise or non-exercise of such rights, for compliance with Laws or Environmental Laws or for the accuracy or sufficiency of any item or the quality or suitability of any item for its intended use.

(d) Landlord may do any of the foregoing, or undertake any of the inspection or work described in the preceding paragraphs without such action constituting an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, or giving rise to an abatement of Rent by reason of loss or interruption of business of the Tenant, or otherwise.

(e) The review, approval or consent of Landlord with respect to any item required or permitted under this Lease is for Landlord’s own protection only, and Landlord has not, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any responsibility to Tenant or any other party, as a result of the exercise or non-exercise of such rights, for compliance with Laws or Environmental Laws or for the accuracy or sufficiency of any item or the quality or suitability of any item for its intended use.

7.03 QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants, in lieu of any implied covenant of quiet possession or quiet enjoyment, that so long as Tenant is in compliance with the covenants and conditions set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to quiet enjoyment of the Premises without hindrance or interference from Landlord or those claiming through Landlord, and subject to the covenants and conditions set forth in the Lease and to the rights of any Mortgagee or ground lessor.

Any repairs or maintenance shall be completed with materials of similar quality to the original materials, all such work to be completed under the supervision of Landlord. Any such repairs or maintenance shall be performed only by contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and whose work will not cause or threaten to cause disharmony or interference with Landlord or other tenants in the Building and their respective agents and contractors performing work in or about the Building. If Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations set forth in this Section 8.02, Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion and upon 24 hours prior notice to Tenant (except without notice in the case of emergencies), perform the same, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord upon demand.

ARTICLE NINE

ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS

9.01 TENANT ALTERATIONS

(a) The following provisions shall apply to the completion of any Tenant Alterations:

(1) Tenant shall not, except as provided herein, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, make or cause to be made any Tenant Alterations in or to the Premises or any Property systems serving the Premises. Prior to making any Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall give Landlord ten (10) days prior written notice (or such earlier notice as would be necessary pursuant to applicable Law) to permit Landlord sufficient time to post appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Subject to all other requirements of this Article Nine, Tenant may undertake Decoration work without Landlord’s prior written consent. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the names and addresses of all contractors and subcontractors and copies of all contracts. All Tenant Alterations shall be completed at such time and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time designate, and only by contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, that Landlord may, in its reasonable discretion, specify the engineers and contractors to perform all work relating to the Building’s structural elements or the Building’s systems (including the mechanical, heating, plumbing, security, ventilating, air-conditioning, electrical, communication and the fire and life safety systems in the Building), so long as such engineers and contractor are duly licensed and perform such work at then market rates. The contractors, mechanics and engineers who may be used are further limited to those whose work will not cause or threaten to cause disharmony or interference with Landlord or other tenants in the Building and their respective agents and contractors performing work in or about the Building. Landlord may further condition its consent upon Tenant furnishing to Landlord and Landlord approving prior to the commencement of any work or delivery of materials to the Premises related to the Tenant Alterations such of the following as specified by Landlord: architectural plans and specifications, opinions from Landlord’s engineers stating that the Tenant Alterations will not in any way adversely affect the Building’s systems, necessary permits and licenses, certificates of insurance, and such other documents in such form reasonably requested by Landlord. Landlord may, in the exercise of reasonable judgment, request that Tenant provide Landlord with appropriate evidence of Tenant’s ability to complete and pay for the completion of the Tenant Alterations such as a performance bond or letter of credit where the cost of such Tenant Alterations exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00). Upon completion of the Tenant Alterations, other than Decorations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an as-built mylar and digitized (if available) set of plans and specifications for the Tenant Alterations.

(2) Tenant shall pay the cost of all Tenant Alterations and the cost of decorating the Premises and any work to the Property occasioned thereby. In connection with completion of any Tenant Alterations, other than Decorations, Tenant shall pay Landlord a construction fee not exceeding five percent (5%) of the cost of Tenant Alterations. Upon completion of Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with contractors’ affidavits and full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used in connection therewith and such other documentation reasonably requested by Landlord or Mortgagee.

(3) Tenant agrees to complete all Tenant Alterations (i) in accordance with all Laws, Environmental Laws, all requirements of applicable insurance companies and in accordance with Landlord’s standard construction rules and regulations, and (ii) in a good and workmanlike manner with the use of good grades of materials. Tenant shall notify Landlord immediately if Tenant receives any notice of violation of any Law in connection with completion of any Tenant Alterations and shall immediately take such steps as are necessary to remedy such violation. In no event shall such supervision or right to supervise by Landlord nor shall any approvals given by Landlord under this Lease constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy of the design, workmanship or quality of such work or materials for Tenant’s intended use or of compliance with the requirements of Section 9.01(a)(3)(i) and (ii) above or impose any liability upon Landlord in connection with the performance of such work.

(b) All Tenant Additions to the Premises whether installed by Landlord or Tenant, shall without compensation or credit to Tenant, become part of the Premises and the property of Landlord at the time of their installation and shall remain in the Premises, unless pursuant to Article Twelve, Tenant may remove them or is required to remove them at Landlord’s request.

9.02 LIENS

Tenant shall not permit any lien or claim for lien of any mechanic, laborer or supplier or any other lien to be filed against the Building, the Land, the Premises, or any other part of the Property arising out of work performed, or alleged to have been performed by, or at the direction of, or on behalf of Tenant. If any such lien or claim for lien is filed, Tenant shall within ten (10) days of receiving notice of such lien or claim (a) have such lien or claim for lien released of record or (b) deliver to Landlord a bond in form, content, amount, and issued by surety, satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying, protecting, defending and holding harmless the Indemnitees against all costs and liabilities resulting from such lien or claim for lien and the foreclosure or attempted foreclosure thereof. If Tenant fails to take any of the above actions, Landlord, in addition to its rights and remedies under Article Eleven, without investigating the validity of such lien or claim for lien, may pay or discharge the same and Tenant shall, as payment of additional Rent hereunder, reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord, including Landlord’s expenses and attorneys’ fees.

ARTICLE TEN

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

10.01 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

(a) Without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Tenant may not sublease, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Lease or the encumbering of Tenant’s interest therein in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises, or any part thereof, by anyone other than Tenant, provided, however, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a subletting or assignment under this Section 10.01. Tenant agrees that the provisions governing sublease and assignment set forth in this Article Ten shall be deemed to be reasonable. If Tenant desires to enter into any sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver written notice thereof to Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”), together with the identity of the proposed subtenant or assignee and the proposed principal terms thereof and financial and other information sufficient for Landlord to make an informed judgment with respect to such proposed subtenant or assignee at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease or assignment. If Tenant proposes to sublease less than all of the Rentable Area of the Premises, the space proposed to be sublet and the space retained by Tenant must each be a marketable unit as reasonably determined by Landlord and otherwise in compliance with all Laws. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment or its decision to exercise its rights under Section 10.02 within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice (and all required information). In no event may Tenant sublease any portion of the Premises or assign the Lease to any other tenant of the Building. Tenant shall submit for Landlord’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) any advertising which Tenant or its agents intend to use with respect to the space proposed to be sublet.

(b) With respect to Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublease, Landlord may take into consideration any factors which Landlord may deem relevant, and the reasons for which Landlord’s denial shall be deemed to be reasonable shall include, without limitation, the following:

(i) the business reputation or creditworthiness of any proposed subtenant or assignee is not reasonably acceptable to Landlord; or

(ii) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment the proposed assignee or subtenant would diminish the value or reputation of the Building or Landlord; or

(iii) any proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s use of the Premises would violate Section 7.01 of the Lease or would violate the provisions of any other leases of tenants in the Project;

(iv) the proposed assignee or subtenant is either a governmental agency or similar operation, or a medical related practice; or

(v) the proposed subtenant or assignee is a bona fide prospective tenant of Landlord in the Project as demonstrated by a written proposal dated within ninety (90) days prior to the date of Tenant’s request; or

(vi) the proposed subtenant or assignee would materially increase the estimated pedestrian and vehicular traffic to and from the Premises and the Building.

In no event shall Landlord be obligated to consider a consent to any proposed assignment of the Lease which would assign less than the entire Premises. In the event Landlord wrongfully withholds its consent to any proposed sublease of the Premises or assignment of the Lease, Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor shall be to seek specific performance of Landlord’s obligations to consent to such sublease or assignment.

(c) Any sublease or assignment shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Any subtenant or assignee shall execute such documents as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence such subtenant or assignee’s assumption of the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease. Any subtenant or assignee shall execute such documents as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence the terms of Landlord’s consent to the sublease or assignment, including agreement to the effect set forth in Section 10.01(e) and Section 10.05 below. Landlord’s approval of a sublease, assignment, hypothecation, transfer or third party use or occupancy shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s obligation to obtain Landlord’s consent to further assignments or subleases, hypothecations, transfers or third party use or occupancy.

(d) For purposes of this Article Ten, an assignment shall be deemed to include a change in the majority control of Tenant, resulting from any transfer, sale or assignment of shares of stock of Tenant occurring by operation of Law or otherwise if Tenant is a corporation whose shares of stock are not traded publicly. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, an assignment for purposes of this Article does not include any transfer of control of the stock or membership interests of Tenant through (i) any public offering of shares of stock in Tenant in accordance with applicable State and Federal law, rules, regulations and orders if thereafter the stock shall be listed and publicly traded through the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or Pacific Stock Exchange, or listed and publicly traded through the NASDAQ national market and its price listed at least daily in the Wall Street Journal; or (ii) public sale of such stock effected through such Exchanges or the NASDAQ national market. If Tenant is a partnership, any change in the partners of Tenant shall be deemed to be an assignment.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article Ten and provided there is no uncured default under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, without the prior written consent of Landlord, to assign this Lease to an Affiliate or to sublease the Premises or any part thereof to an Affiliate, but (i) no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the assignment or sublease, the assignee shall execute documents satisfactory to Landlord to evidence such assignee’s assumption of the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease, unless Landlord modifies or waives such

12

jka v14-Continental_Grand-Learning_Tree-Lease

requirement in the case of any assignment which occurs by operation of law (and without a written assignment) as a consequence of merger, consolidation or non-bankruptcy reorganization, and the subtenant shall execute documents satisfactory to Landlord to evidence that the sublease is subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and that the subtenant shall perform and be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Lease (except payment of Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments hereunder and other obligations which the sublease expressly provides are to be performed by Tenant as the sublessor) to the extent applicable to the space and period covered by the sublease; (ii) within ten (10) days after the effective date of such assignment or sublease, give notice to Landlord which notice shall include the full name and address of the assignee or subtenant, and a copy of all agreements executed between Tenant and the assignee or subtenant with respect to the Premises or part thereof, as may be the case; and (iii) within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s written request, provide such reasonable documents or information which Landlord reasonably requests for the purpose of substantiating whether or not the assignment or sublease is to an Affiliate.

(f) With respect to any sublease to an Affiliate pursuant to Subsection (e) above, Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord, effective upon any such sublease, all rent and other payments due from subtenant under the sublease, provided however, that Tenant shall have a license to collect such rent and other payments until the occurrence of a default by Tenant under any of the provisions of the Lease, and notice to Tenant of such default shall not be a prerequisite to Landlord’s right to collect subrent. At any time at Landlord’s option, Landlord shall have the right to give notice to the subtenant of such assignment. Landlord shall credit Tenant with any rent received by Landlord under such assignment but the acceptance of any payment on account of rent from the subtenant as the result of any such default shall in no manner whatsoever serve to release Tenant from any liability under the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreement under the Lease. No such payment of rent or any other payment by the subtenant directly to Landlord and/or acceptance of such payment(s) by Landlord, regardless of the circumstances or reasons therefor, shall in any manner whatsoever be deemed an attornment by the subtenant to Landlord in the absence of a specific written agreement signed by Landlord to such an effect. For purposes of this Subsection, any use or occupancy by an Affiliate (unless it is an assignee) without a formal sublease shall for the purposes of this Subsection be deemed to be a sublease at the same rental rate as provided in the Lease.

10.02 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

10.03 EXCESS RENT

Tenant shall pay Landlord on the first day of each month during the term of the sublease or assignment, fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the sum of all rent and other consideration (direct or indirect) due from the subtenant or assignee for such month exceeds: (i) that portion of the Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments due under this Lease for said month which is allocable to the space sublet or assigned; and (ii) the following costs and expenses for the subletting or assignment of such space: (1) brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees and expenses; (2) the actual costs paid in making any improvements or substitutions in the Premises required by any sublease or assignment; and (3) “free rent” periods, costs of any inducements or concessions given to subtenant or assignee, moving costs, and other amounts in respect of such subtenant’s or assignee’s other leases or occupancy arrangements. All such costs and expenses shall be amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment pursuant to sound accounting principles. This Section 10.03 shall not apply to an assignment of this Lease to an Affiliate of Tenant or to a sublease of all or a portion of the Premises to an Affiliate of Tenant.

10.04 TENANT LIABILITY

In the event of any sublease or assignment, whether or not with Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall not be released or discharged from any liability, whether past, present or future, under this Lease, including any liability arising from the exercise of any renewal or expansion option, to the extent such exercise is expressly permitted by Landlord. Tenant’s liability shall remain primary, and in the event of default by any subtenant, assignee or successor of Tenant in performance or observance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said subtenant, assignee or successor. After any assignment, Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease, or amendments or modifications of this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto, and such action shall not relieve Tenant or any successor of Tenant of liability under this Lease. If Landlord grants consent to such sublease or assignment, Tenant shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses up to $1,000.00 incurred by Landlord with respect to such assignment or sublease. In addition, if Tenant has any options to extend the term of this Lease or to add other space to the Premises, such options shall not be available to any subtenant or assignee, directly or indirectly without Landlord’s express written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion.

10.05 ASSUMPTION AND ATTORNMENT

If Tenant shall assign this Lease as permitted herein, the assignee shall expressly assume all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder in a written instrument satisfactory to Landlord and furnish it to Landlord not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the assignment. If Tenant shall sublease the Premises as permitted herein, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, within fifteen (15) days following any request by Landlord, obtain and furnish to Landlord a written agreement satisfactory to Landlord to the effect that (a) the subtenant will attorn to Landlord and will pay all subrent directly to Landlord in the event of any termination of this Lease for any reason, including rejection or deemed rejection in any bankruptcy proceeding, and (b) that in the event of any default by Tenant under this Lease, subtenant will pay all subrent directly to Landlord.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

11.01 EVENTS OF DEFAULT

The occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following shall constitute a “Default” by Tenant under this Lease:

(i) Tenant fails to pay any installment or other payment of Rent including Rent Adjustment Deposits or Rent Adjustments within three (3) days after the date when due;

(ii) Tenant fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or the Workletter and fails to cure such default within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof to Tenant, unless the default involves a hazardous condition, which shall be cured forthwith or unless the failure to perform is a Default for which this Lease specifies there is no cure or grace period;

(iii) the interest of Tenant in this Lease is levied upon under execution or other legal process;

(iv) a petition is filed by or against Tenant to declare Tenant bankrupt or seeking a plan of reorganization or arrangement under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Act, or any amendment, replacement or substitution therefor, or to delay payment of, reduce or modify Tenant’s debts, which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within sixty (60) days;

13

jka v14-Continental_Grand-Learning_Tree-Lease

(v) Tenant is declared insolvent by Law or any assignment of Tenant’s property is made for the benefit of creditors;

(vi) a receiver is appointed for Tenant or Tenant’s property, which appointment is not discharged within thirty (30) days;

(vii) any action taken by or against Tenant to reorganize or modify Tenant’s capital structure in a materially adverse way which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within thirty (30) days;

(viii) upon the dissolution of Tenant;

(ix) [intentionally omitted];

(x) any abandonment (as such term is defined by California Civil Code Section 1951.3) of the Premises by Tenant;

(xi) any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished by Tenant to Landlord in connection with inducing Landlord to enter into this Lease is determined to have been false or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; or

(xii) Tenant makes or attempts any sublease, assignment, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer, or permit any transfer of this Lease or encumbering of Tenant’s interest, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof in violation of Article Ten.

11.02 LANDLORD’S REMEDIES

(a) A Default shall constitute a breach of the Lease for which Landlord shall have the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 11.02 and all other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease or now or hereafter allowed by Law, whether legal or equitable, and all rights and remedies of Landlord shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other right or remedy.

(b) With respect to a Default, at any time Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession as allowed by Law by written notice to Tenant stating such election. Upon the termination of Tenant’s right to possession pursuant to this Section 11.02, Tenant’s right to possession shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate, and Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. Upon such termination, Landlord shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to re-enter the Premises and dispossess Tenant and the legal representatives of Tenant and all other occupants of the Premises by unlawful detainer or other summary proceedings, or otherwise as permitted by Law, regain possession of the Premises and remove their property (including their trade fixtures, personal property and those Tenant Additions which Tenant is required or permitted to remove under Article Twelve), but Landlord shall not be obligated to effect such removal, and such property may, at Landlord’s option, be stored elsewhere, sold or otherwise dealt with as permitted by Law, at the risk of, expense of and for the account of Tenant, and the proceeds of any sale shall be applied pursuant to Law. Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of any such property. Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Landlord’s removing or storing Tenant’s personal property pursuant to this Section or Section 12.01, and Tenant hereby indemnifies, and agrees to defend, protect and hold harmless, the Indemnitees from any and all loss, claims, demands, actions, expenses, liability and cost (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or in any way related to such removal or storage. Upon such written termination of Tenant’s right to possession and this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to recover damages for Tenant’s Default as provided herein or by Law, including the following damages provided by California Civil Code Section 1951.2:

(1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination;

(2) 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 Rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided;

(3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and

(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. The word “rent” as used in this Section 11.02 shall have the same meaning as the defined term Rent in this Lease. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above is computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in clause (3) above is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). For the purpose of determining unpaid Rent under clause (3) above, the monthly Rent reserved in this Lease shall be deemed to be the sum of the Monthly Base Rent, monthly storage space rent (if any), and the amounts last payable by Tenant as Rent Adjustments for the calendar year in which Landlord terminated this Lease as provided hereinabove.

(c) Even if Tenant is in Default and/or has abandoned the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession by written notice as provided in Section 11.02(b) above, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due under this Lease. In such event, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies of a landlord under California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue Lease in effect after Tenant’s Default and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), or any successor statute. During such time as Tenant is in Default, if Landlord has not terminated this Lease by written notice and if Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises, subject to Landlord’s option to recapture pursuant to Section 10.02, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such assignment or sublease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Article Ten shall be deemed to constitute reasonable limitations of Tenant’s right to assign or sublet. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in the absence of written notice pursuant to Section 11.02(b) above terminating Tenant’s right to possession, no other act of Landlord shall constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession or an acceptance of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, including acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease or the withholding of consent to a subletting or assignment, or terminating a subletting or assignment, if in accordance with other provisions of this Lease.

14

jka v14-Continental_Grand-Learning_Tree-Lease

(d) In the event that Landlord seeks an injunction with respect to a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay the premium for any bond required in connection with such injunction, only if it is determined by the appropriate court of law that Landlord is entitled to such injection.

(e) Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to relief from forfeiture, redemption or reinstatement granted by Law (including California Civil Code of Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179) in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of Tenant’s Default or otherwise.

(f) When this Lease requires giving or service of a notice of Default or of a failure of Tenant to observe or perform any covenant, condition or provision of this Lease which will constitute a Default unless Tenant so observes or performs within any applicable cure period, and so long as the notice given or served provides Tenant the longer of any applicable cure period required by this Lease or by statute, then the giving of any equivalent or similar statutory notice, including any equivalent or similar notices required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor statute, shall replace and suffice as any notice required under this Lease. When a statute requires service of a notice in a particular manner, service of that notice (or a similar notice required by this Lease) in the manner required by Article Twenty-four shall replace and satisfy the statutory service–of–notice procedures, except that any notice of unlawful detainer required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor statute shall be served as required by Code of Civil Procedure Section 1162 or any similar or successor statute, and for purposes of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1162 or any similar or successor statute, Tenant’s “place of residence” and “usual place of business” shall mean the address specified by Tenant for notice pursuant to Section 1.01 of this Lease, as changed by Tenant pursuant to Article Twenty-four of this Lease.

(g) The voluntary or other surrender or termination of this Lease, or a mutual termination or cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and shall terminate all or any existing assignments, subleases, subtenancies or occupancies permitted by Tenant, except if and as otherwise specified in writing by Landlord.

(h) No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord upon any default by Tenant, and no exercise by Landlord of its rights pursuant to Section 26.15 to perform any duty which Tenant fails timely to perform, shall impair any right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in a writing signed by Landlord. The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of this Lease.

11.03 ATTORNEY’S FEES

In the event any party brings any suit or other proceeding with respect to the subject matter or enforcement of this Lease, the prevailing party (as determined by the court, agency or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is commenced) shall, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation as actually incurred, including court costs, expert witness fees, costs and expenses of investigation, and all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in any such suit or proceeding (including in any action or participation in or in connection with any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 United States Code Sections 101 et seq., or any successor statutes, in establishing or enforcing the right to indemnification, in appellate proceedings, or in connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any such suit or proceeding).

11.04 BANKRUPTCY

The following provisions shall apply in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant:

(a) In connection with any proceeding under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code where the trustee of Tenant elects to assume this Lease for the purposes of assigning it, such election or assignment, may only be made upon compliance with the provisions of (b) and (c) below, which conditions Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable. In the event the trustee elects to reject this Lease then Landlord shall immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or the trustee.

(b) Any election to assume this Lease under Chapter 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code by Tenant as debtor-in-possession or by Tenant’s trustee (the “Electing Party”) must provide for:

The Electing Party to cure or provide to Landlord adequate assurance that it will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease within fifteen (15) days from the date of assumption and it will cure all nonmonetary defaults under this Lease within thirty (30) days from the date of assumption. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge such condition to be commercially reasonable.

(c) If the Electing Party has assumed this Lease or elects to assign Tenant’s interest under this Lease to any other person, such interest may be assigned only if the intended assignee has provided adequate assurance of future performance (as herein defined), of all of the obligations imposed on Tenant under this Lease.

For the purposes hereof, “adequate assurance of future performance” means that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

(i) The assignee has submitted a current financial statement, certified by its chief financial officer, which shows a net worth and working capital in amounts sufficient to assure the future performance by the assignee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and

(ii) Landlord has obtained consents or waivers from any third parties which may be required under a lease, mortgage, financing arrangement, or other agreement by which Landlord is bound, to enable Landlord to permit such assignment.

(d) Landlord’s acceptance of Rent or any other payment from any trustee, receiver, assignee, person, or other entity will not be deemed to have waived, or waive, the requirement of Landlord’s consent, Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Lease without such consent, or Landlord’s claim for any amount of Rent due from Tenant.

SURRENDER OF PREMISES

Upon the Termination Date, Tenant shall surrender and vacate the Premises immediately and deliver possession thereof to Landlord in a clean, good and tenantable condition, ordinary wear and tear, and damage caused by Landlord excepted. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises. Tenant shall remove from the Premises all movable personal property of Tenant and Tenant’s trade fixtures, including, subject to Section 6.02, cabling for any of the foregoing. Tenant shall be entitled to remove such Tenant Additions which at the time of their installation Landlord and Tenant agreed may be removed by Tenant.

Tenant immediately shall repair all damage resulting from removal of any of Tenant’s property, furnishings or Tenant Additions, shall close all floor, ceiling and roof openings and shall restore the Premises to a tenantable condition as reasonably determined by Landlord. If any of the Tenant Additions which were installed by Tenant involved the lowering of ceilings, raising of floors or the installation of specialized wall or floor coverings or lights, then Tenant shall also be obligated to return such surfaces to their condition prior to the commencement of this Lease. Tenant shall also be required to close any staircases or other openings between floors. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, if so requested by Tenant in writing (and prominently in all capital or bold lettering which also states that such request is pursuant to Section 12.01 of the Lease) at the time Tenant requests approval of any Tenant Alterations (or at the time of Tenant’s notice to Landlord with respect to those Tenant Alterations not requiring Landlord’s approval) or Tenant Work, Landlord shall advise Tenant at the time of Landlord’s approval of such Tenant Alteration(s) (or reasonably promptly after Tenant’s inquiry with respect to those Tenant Alterations not requiring Landlord’s approval) or Tenant Work as to whether Landlord will require that such Tenant Alteration(s) or Tenant Work be removed by Tenant from the Premises, provided however, regardless whether or not Landlord gives Tenant notice of required removal at the time of approval, in any event, Landlord may require removal of any Tenant Alterations or Tenant Work containing Hazardous Material and all Tenant’s trade fixtures, and, subject to Section 6.04, cabling installed for Tenant’s personal property or trade fixtures. In the event possession of the Premises is not delivered to Landlord when required hereunder, or if Tenant shall fail to remove those items described above, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), at Tenant’s expense, remove any of such property and store, sell or otherwise deal with such property as provided in Section 11.02(b), including the waiver and indemnity obligations provided in that Section, and undertake, at Tenant’s expense, such restoration work as Landlord deems necessary or advisable.

12.02 LANDLORD’S RIGHTS

All property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord shall be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may deal with such property as provided in Section 11.02(b), including the waiver and indemnity obligations provided in that Section.

DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY

14.01 SUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY

(a) If any fire or other casualty (whether insured or uninsured) renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable, Landlord shall, with reasonable promptness after the occurrence of such damage, estimate the length of time that will be required to substantially complete the repair and restoration and shall by notice advise Tenant of such estimate (“Landlord’s Notice”). If Landlord estimates that the amount of time required to substantially complete such repair and restoration will exceed two hundred seventy (270) days from the date such damage occurred, then Landlord, or Tenant if all or a substantial portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable, shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage upon giving written notice to the other at any time within twenty (20) days after delivery of Landlord’s Notice, provided that if Landlord so chooses, Landlord’s Notice may also constitute such notice of termination. Further, in the event that the Building is damaged or destroyed to the extent of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of its replacement cost or to any extent if no insurance proceeds or insufficient insurance proceeds are receivable by Landlord, Landlord may elect by written notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the casualty to terminate this Lease in lieu of so restoring the Premises and Building, in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such damage.

(b) Unless this Lease is terminated as provided in the preceding subparagraph, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness to repair and restore the Premises to its condition as existed prior to such casualty, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and Force Majeure delays, and also subject to zoning Laws and building codes then in effect. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease if such repairs and restoration are not in fact completed within the time period estimated by Landlord so long as Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to complete such repairs and restoration.

(c) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of any insurance coverage, whether carried by Landlord or Tenant, for damages to the Premises, except for those proceeds of Tenant’s insurance of its own personal property and equipment which would be removable by Tenant at the Termination Date. All such insurance proceeds shall be payable to Landlord whether or not the Premises are to be repaired and restored, provided, however, if this Lease is not terminated and the parties proceed to repair and restore Tenant Additions at Tenant’s cost, to the extent Landlord received proceeds of Tenant’s insurance covering Tenant Additions, such proceeds shall be applied to reimburse Tenant for its cost of repairing and restoring Tenant Additions.

jka v14-Continental_Grand-Learning_Tree-Lease

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth: (i) Landlord shall have no duty pursuant to this Section to repair or restore any portion of any Tenant Additions or to expend for any repair or restoration of the Premises or Building amounts in excess of insurance proceeds paid to Landlord and available for repair or restoration; and (ii) Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section if any damage or destruction was caused by the act or neglect of Tenant, its agent or employees. Whether or not the Lease is terminated pursuant to this Article Fourteen, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by any such damage, destruction, rebuilding or restoration of the Premises or the Building or access thereto.

(e) Any repair or restoration of the Premises performed by Tenant shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine hereof.

14.02 INSUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY

If the Premises or the Building is damaged by a casualty but neither is rendered substantially untenantable and Landlord estimates that the time to substantially complete the repair or restoration will not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date such damage occurred, then Landlord shall proceed to repair and restore the Building or the Premises other than Tenant Additions, with reasonable promptness, unless such damage is to the Premises and occurs during the last six (6) months of the Term, in which event either Tenant or Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by giving written notice thereof to the other within twenty (20) days after the date of such casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s obligation to repair shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.01 above.

14.03 RENT ABATEMENT

Except for the negligence or willful act of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, if all or any part of the Premises are rendered untenantable by fire or other casualty and this Lease is not terminated, Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments shall abate for that part of the Premises which is untenantable on a per diem basis from the date of the casualty until Landlord has Substantially Completed the repair and restoration work in the Premises which it is required to perform, provided, that as a result of such casualty, Tenant does not occupy the portion of the Premises which is untenantable during such period.

14.04 WAIVER OF STATUTORY REMEDIES

The provisions of this Lease, including this Article Fourteen, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, the Premises or the Property or any part of either, and any Law, including Sections 1932(2), 1933(4), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction shall have no application to this Lease or to any damage to or destruction of all or any part of the Premises or the Property or any part of either, and are hereby waived.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth, in the event the taking is temporary (for less than the remaining term of the Lease), Landlord may elect either (i) to terminate this Lease or (ii) permit Tenant to receive the entire award attributable to the Premises in which case Tenant shall continue to pay Rent and this Lease shall not terminate.

Landlord, upon receipt and to the extent of the award in condemnation (or proceeds of sale) shall make necessary repairs and restorations to the Premises (exclusive of Tenant Additions) and to the Building to the extent necessary to constitute the portion of the Building not so taken or condemned as a complete architectural and economically efficient unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of any taking, or a governmental order that the grade of any street or alley adjacent to the Building is to be changed and such taking or change of grade makes it necessary or desirable to substantially remodel or restore the Building or prevents the economical operation of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to Tenant.

15.03 COMPENSATION

Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award (or sale proceeds) from any such taking, condemnation or sale without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right separately to pursue against the condemning authority a separate award in respect of the loss, if any, to Tenant Additions paid for by Tenant without any credit or allowance from Landlord so long as there is no diminution of Landlord’s award as a result.

Without obligation to do so, Landlord may, in its sole discretion from time to time, carry insurance in amounts greater and/or for coverage additional to the coverage and amounts set forth above.

If Tenant is unable to obtain in such policy or policies either of the clauses described in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall, if legally possible and without necessitating a change in insurance carriers, have Landlord named in such policy or policies as an additional insured. If Landlord shall be named as an additional insured in accordance with the foregoing, Landlord agrees to endorse promptly to the order of Tenant, without recourse, any check, draft, or order for the payment of money representing the proceeds of any such policy or representing any other payment growing out of or connected with said policies, and Landlord does hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights in and to such proceeds and payments.

MORTGAGEE PROTECTION

23.01 SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

(a) Subject to Section 23.01(b) hereof, this Lease is and shall be expressly subject and subordinate at all times to (i) any ground or underlying lease of the Real Property, now or hereafter existing, and all amendments, extensions, renewals and modifications to any such lease, and (ii) the lien of any mortgage or trust deed now or hereafter encumbering fee title to the Real Property and/or the leasehold estate under any such lease, and all amendments, extensions, renewals, replacements and modifications of such mortgage or trust deed and/or the obligation secured thereby, unless such ground lease or ground lessor, or mortgage, trust deed or Mortgagee, expressly provides or elects that the Lease shall be superior to such lease or mortgage or trust deed. If any such mortgage or trust deed is foreclosed (including any sale of the Real Property pursuant to a power of sale), or if any such lease is terminated, upon request of the Mortgagee or ground lessor, as the case may be, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to the ground lessor under such lease, as the case may be, provided, however, that such purchaser or ground lessor shall not be (i) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one month in advance except payments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease; (ii) subject to any offset, defense or damages arising out of a default of any obligations of any preceding Landlord; or (iii) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the written consent of the Mortgagee or ground lessor; or (iv) liable for any security deposits not actually received in cash by such purchaser or ground lessor. This subordination shall be self-operative and no further certificate or instrument of subordination need be required by any such Mortgagee or ground lessor. In confirmation of such subordination, however, Tenant shall execute promptly any reasonable certificate or instrument that Landlord, Mortgagee or ground lessor may request. Tenant hereby constitutes Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute such certificate or instrument for and on behalf of Tenant upon Tenant’s failure to do so within fifteen (15) days of a request to do so. Upon request by such successor in interest, Tenant shall execute and deliver reasonable instruments confirming the attornment provided for herein.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, provided that: (i) Tenant pays any fees and costs associated with requesting a nondisturbance agreement, (ii) Tenant executes and delivers a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, with such changes thereto as any lessor under a ground or underlying lease or mortgagee or beneficiary may reasonably require (“Nondisturbance Agreement”) and complies with the provisions thereof, and (iii) Tenant is not in default under this Lease, no termination of any ground lease or underlying lease and no foreclosure, sale pursuant to power of sale or conveyance by deed in lieu of foreclosure shall affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease, except to the extent provided by such Nondisturbance Agreement. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver any Nondisturbance Agreement within fifteen (15) days of a request therefor from Landlord, Tenant hereby constitutes Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver such instrument. Landlord’s inability to obtain the signature of any such lessor or Mortgagee on any such Nondisturbance Agreement shall not constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease, but so long as default by Tenant under this Lease is not the reason for Landlord’s inability to obtain such signature, any such lessor or Mortgagee shall be deemed to have elected that this Lease be superior to the lease, mortgage or deed of trust in question, and Tenant shall, at the request of such lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary (or purchaser at any sale pursuant to the mortgage or deed of trust), attorn to any such party or enter into a new lease with such party (as Landlord) for the balance of the Term then remaining hereunder upon the same terms and conditions as those herein, provided, however, that such party shall not be (i) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one month in advance except payments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease; (ii) subject to any offset, defense or damages arising out of a default of any obligations of any preceding Landlord; or (iii) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the written consent of the Mortgagee or ground lessor; or (iv) liable for any security deposits not actually received in cash by such purchaser or ground lessor.

23.02 MORTGAGEE PROTECTION

Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagee or ground lessor, by registered or certified mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord by Tenant, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has received notice (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of an assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the address of such Mortgagee or ground lessor. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the Mortgagee or ground lessor shall have an additional thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional notice time as may be necessary, if, within such thirty (30) days, any Mortgagee or ground lessor has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including commencement of foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the Real Property, if necessary to effect such cure). Such period of time shall be extended by any period within which such Mortgagee or ground lessor is prevented from commencing or pursuing such foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the Real Property by reason of Landlord’s bankruptcy.

During the Term, Tenant may use up to the number and type of Parking Spaces specified in Section 1.01 for parking. The locations shall be at the Project and the type of parking shall be designated by Landlord or Landlord’s parking operator from time to time. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the parking spaces in the Project’s surface parking may include a mixture of spaces for compact vehicles as well as full-size passenger automobiles, and that Tenant shall not use parking spaces for vehicles larger than the striped size of the parking spaces. All vehicles using Tenant’s spaces shall prominently display identification stickers or other markers, and/or have passes or keycards for ingress and egress, as may be required and provided by Landlord or its parking operator from time to time. Tenant and its employees and business invitees shall not park any vehicle in any area designated as a loading area or designated for use by visitors or for the exclusive use of any other person and Tenant agrees to employ reasonable measures to assure that its employees do not park in any such area. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a list of its and its employees’ vehicle license numbers within fifteen (15) days after the Commencement Date and thereafter notify Landlord of any change in such list within five (5) days after such change occurs. Tenant agrees to assume responsibility for compliance by its employees with all parking regulations established by Landlord, including a requirement that Tenant pay to Landlord a charge for loss and replacement of parking entrance key-cards or other access control identification, if any. During any period that Tenant is required by Section 1.01 to pay for parking at the prevailing rates (“Parking Rent”), the prevailing rates shall mean base rates being charged from time to time by Landlord or its parking operator to other tenants for similar parking rights without consideration of any discounts, but in no event greater than prevailing parking rates in other Class A office buildings in the El Segundo, California area. Parking Rent shall be paid monthly in advance on the first day of each month of the Term at the same time and manner as for payment of Monthly Base Rent, and shall be paid directly to Landlord at the first office specified in Section 1.01(2), or to such other persons, or at such other places, designated by Landlord. Tenant’s right to use the Parking Spaces is conditional upon timely receipt of full payment of Parking Rent. In the event any surcharge, regulatory fee or parking tax is at any time imposed by any governmental authority, Tenant shall pay all such amounts applicable to Tenant’s parking privileges hereunder to Landlord either in advance on the first day of each calendar month concurrently with its installments of Monthly Base Rent or as otherwise billed from time to time by Landlord.

Upon Tenant’s request for additional parking on a month-to-month basis, and subject to availability of spaces for such parking, Landlord may, without obligation to do so, from time to time provide additional parking on a month-to-month basis at the prevailing rates, but Landlord shall determine such availability and may terminate such additional use in Landlord’s sole discretion. In addition, during the Term, Tenant shall receive 1,000 full day parking validations for visitors per month, free of charge.

ARTICLE TWENTY-SIX

MISCELLANEOUS

26.01 LATE CHARGES

(a) The Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, Rent Adjustment Deposits and Parking charges shall be due when specifically provided above. Except for such payments and late charges described below, which late charge shall be due when provided below (without notice or demand), all other payments required hereunder to Landlord shall be paid within ten (10) days after Landlord’s demand therefor. All Rent and charges, except late charges, not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the Default Rate in effect on the date such payment was due.

(b) In the event Tenant is more than three (3) days late more than once in any twelve (12) month period in paying any installment of Rent due under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent installment of Rent. The parties agree that (i) such delinquency will cause Landlord to incur costs and expenses not contemplated herein, the exact amount of which will be difficult to calculate, including the cost and expense that will be incurred by Landlord in processing each delinquent payment of rent by Tenant, (ii) the amount of such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and (iii) that such late charge shall be paid to Landlord for each delinquent payment in addition to all Rent otherwise due hereunder. The parties further agree that the payment of late charges and the payment of interest provided for in subparagraph (a) above are distinct and separate from one another in that the payment of interest is to compensate Landlord for its inability to use the money improperly withheld by Tenant, while the payment of late charges is to compensate Landlord for its additional administrative expenses in handling and processing delinquent payments.

21

jka v14-Continental_Grand-Learning_Tree-Lease

(c) Payment of interest at the Default Rate and/or of late charges shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease, nor shall the foregoing provisions of this Article or any such payments prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay Rent when due, including the right to terminate this Lease.

No party will seek to consolidate any such action in which a jury has been waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot or has not been waived. It is the intention of the parties that these provisions shall be subject to no exceptions. By execution of this Lease the parties agree that this provision may be filed by any party hereto with the clerk or judge before whom any action is instituted, which filing shall constitute the written consent to a waiver of jury trial pursuant to and in accordance with Section 631 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

If Tenant does not utilize one hundred percent (100%) of the Allowance for Permanent Improvement Costs within six (6) months after the execution date of the Lease, Tenant shall have no right to the unused portion of the Allowance.

(b) If the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements in the Premises is delayed by Landlord’s failure timely to comply with the provisions of this Workletter (other than Section 2 above), which failure is not cured by Landlord within three (3) business days following receipt of notice from Tenant specifically describing such failure (which notice shall also specifically assert a “Landlord Delay” and refer to this Section 9(b) of the Workletter), then the period commencing after expiration of such third day until such failure is cured or no longer delays Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements, shall be a “Landlord Delay.” In the event any Landlord Delay actually delays Substantial Completion of the Tenant Work, then the date in Section 1.01(8) of the Lease on which Monthly Base Rent increases above $0.00 (but no other date) shall be delayed by the lesser of (i) one day for each day of Landlord Delay, or (ii) the aggregate period of such actual delay, as determined on a critical path basis; provided, however, that in the event such lesser amount exceeds thirty (30) days, all subsequent dates in such Section 1.01(8) of the Lease shall be delayed, and the Expiration Date shall be extended, by such lesser amount.

EXHIBIT D

FAIR MARKET RENTAL RATE

1. Definition of Fair Market Rental Rate. “Fair Market Rental Rate” shall mean as to Monthly Base Rent the monthly base rental per rentable square foot which a tenant would pay and which a willing landlord would accept for space comparable to the Premises in the Building and in other buildings of class A standards in El Segundo, California for the period for which such rental is to be paid and for a lease on terms substantially similar to those of the Lease (including, without limitation, those applicable to Taxes, Operating Expenses and exclusions, but also considering so-called net and triple net leases, and leases utilizing operating expense stops or base years, and making appropriate adjustment between such leases and this Lease, as described below), based on prevailing market conditions in the Building and in other buildings of class A standards in El Segundo, California at the time such determination is made (“Comparable Transactions”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Comparable Transactions shall be for a term similar to the term of tenancy and for space comparable in use, floor levels, square footage and location within the Building and in other buildings of class A standards in El Segundo, California as the transaction for which Fair Market Rental Rate is being determined; however, leases of unusual or odd shaped spaces shall not be considered. In any determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term: (i) the rate of Monthly Base Rent under the Lease shall be based upon a step-up to change the calendar year for calculation of Base Operating Expenses for the Option Term to be the full calendar year in which the Option Term commences, and such step-up shall be part of the determination of Fair Market Rental Rate; and (ii) the amount of parking rent may be increased or decreased to amounts corresponding to market rates in Comparable Transactions. Further, in any determination of Fair Market Rental Rate, the stated or contract monthly net or base rental in Comparable Transactions shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account the different terms and conditions prevailing in such transactions and those present in the Lease, including, without limitation: (a) the extent to which average annual expenses and taxes per rentable square foot payable by tenants in Comparable Transactions vary from those payable by Tenant under the Lease; (b) tenant improvements, value of existing tenant improvements, the concessions, if any, being given by landlords in Comparable Transactions, such as parking charge abatement, free rent or rental abatement applicable after substantial completion of any tenant improvements (and no adjustment shall be made for any free or abated rent during any construction periods), loans at below-market interest rates, moving allowances, space planning allowances, lease takeover payments and work allowances, as compared to any tenant improvement, refurbishment or repainting allowance given to Tenant under the Lease for the space for which Fair Market Rental Rate is being determined; (c) the brokerage commissions, fees and bonuses payable by landlords in Comparable Transactions (whether to tenant’s agent, such landlord or any person or entity affiliated with such landlord), as compared to any such amounts payable by Landlord to the broker(s) identified in the Amendment with respect to the transaction for which Fair Market Rental Rate is being determined; (d) the time value of money; and (e) any material difference between the definition of rentable area and the ratio of project rentable to useable square feet in Comparable Transactions, as compared to such figures applicable to the space for which Fair Market Rental Rate is being determined.

2. Sealed Estimates. In the event the Lease requires Fair Market Rental Rate to be determined in accordance with this Exhibit, Landlord and Tenant shall meet within ten (10) business days thereafter and each simultaneously submit to the other in a sealed envelope its good faith estimate of Fair Market Rental Rate (the “Estimates”). If the higher Estimate is not more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower Estimate, then Fair Market Rental Rate shall be the average of the two Estimates. If such simultaneous submission of Estimates does not occur within such ten (10) business day period, then either party may by notice to the other designate any reasonable time within five (5) business days thereafter and any reasonable place at or near the Building for such meeting to take place. In the event only one party submits an Estimate at that meeting, such Estimate shall be Fair Market Rental. In the event neither party submits an Estimate at that meeting, the transaction for which Fair Market Rental Rate is being determined shall be deemed canceled and of no further force or effect.

3. Selection of Arbitrators. If the higher Estimate is more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower Estimate, then either Landlord or Tenant may, by written notice to the other within five (5) business days after delivery of Estimates at the meeting, require that the disagreement be resolved by arbitration. In the event neither party gives such notice, the transaction for which Fair Market Rental Rate is being determined shall be deemed canceled and of no further force or effect. Within five (5) business days after such notice, the parties shall select as arbitrators three (3) mutually acceptable independent MAI appraisers with experience in real estate activities, including at least five (5) years experience in appraising Class A space in El Segundo, California (“Qualified Appraisers”). If the parties cannot timely agree on such arbitrators, then within the following five (5) business days, each shall select and inform the other party of one (1) Qualified Appraiser and within a third period of five (5) business days, the two appraisers (or if only one (1) has been duly selected, such single appraiser) shall select as arbitrators a panel of three additional Qualified Appraisers, which three arbitrators shall proceed to determine Fair Market Rental Rate pursuant to Section 4 below. Both Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to present evidence supporting their respective positions to the panel of three arbitrators.

4. Arbitration Procedure. Once a panel of arbitrators has been selected as provided above, then as soon thereafter as practicable each arbitrator shall select one of the two Estimates as the one which, in its opinion, is closer to Fair Market Rental Rate. Upon an Estimate’s selection by two (2) of the arbitrators, it shall be the applicable Fair Market Rental Rate and such selection shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If the arbitrators collectively determine that expert advice is reasonably necessary to assist them in determining Fair Market Rental Rate, then they may retain one or more qualified persons, including but not limited to legal counsel, brokers, architects or engineers, to provide such expert advice. The party whose Estimate is not chosen by the arbitrators shall pay the costs of the arbitrators and any experts retained by the arbitrators. Any fees of any counsel or expert engaged directly by Landlord or Tenant, however, shall be borne by the party retaining such counsel or expert.

5. Rent Pending Determination of Fair Market Rental Rate. In the event that the determination of Fair Market Rental Rate has not been concluded prior to commencement of the applicable rental period for the applicable space for which the Fair Market Rental Rate is being determined, Tenant shall pay Landlord Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustment Deposits as would apply under Landlord’s Estimate pursuant to Section 2 of this Exhibit until the Fair Market Rental Rate is determined. In the event that the Fair Market Rental Rate subsequently determined is different from the amount paid for the applicable period, then within thirty (30) days after such determination, Tenant shall pay Landlord any greater amounts due and Landlord shall credit Tenant (against the next Monthly Base Rent installments due) for any reduction in the amounts due.

Exhibit G - Page 1

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

1. Subordination. The Lease and the leasehold estate created by the Lease and all of Tenant’s rights under the Lease are and shall remain subordinate to the Deed of Trust and the lien of the Deed of Trust, to all rights of Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust and to all renewals, amendments, modifications and extensions of the Deed of Trust.

To the extent that the Lease is extinguished as a result of a Foreclosure Sale, a new lease shall automatically go into effect upon the same provisions as contained in the Lease between Landlord and Tenant, except as set forth in this Agreement, for the unexpired term of the Lease. Tenant agrees to attorn to and accept Beneficiary as landlord under the Lease and to be bound by and perform all of the obligations imposed by the Lease, or, as the case may be, under the new lease, in the event that the Lease is extinguished by a Foreclosure Sale. Upon Beneficiary’s acquisition of title to the Property, Beneficiary will perform all of the obligations imposed on the Landlord by the Lease except as set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that Beneficiary shall not be: (i) liable for any act or omission of a prior landlord (including Landlord); or (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses that Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (iii) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord) for a period in excess of one month or by any security deposit, cleaning deposit or other sum that Tenant may have paid in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (iv) bound by any amendment, modification, assignment or termination of the Lease made without the written consent of Beneficiary; (v) obligated or liable with respect to any representations, warranties or indemnities contained in the Lease; or (vi) liable to Tenant or any other party for any conflict between the provisions of the Lease and the provisions of any other lease affecting the Property which is not entered into by Beneficiary.

(b) Upon the written request of Beneficiary after a Foreclosure Sale, the parties shall execute a lease of the Premises upon the same provisions as contained in the Lease between Landlord and Tenant, except as set forth in this Agreement, for the unexpired term of the Lease.

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary, from and after the date that Beneficiary acquires title to the Property as a result of a Foreclosure Sale, (i) Beneficiary will not be obligated to expend any monies to restore casualty damage in excess of available insurance proceeds; (ii) tenant shall not have the right to make repairs and deduct the cost of such repairs from the rent without a judicial determination that Beneficiary is in default of its obligations under the Lease; (iii) in no event will Beneficiary be obligated to indemnify Tenant, except where Beneficiary has been actively negligent in the performance of its obligations as landlord; and (iv) other than determination of fair market value, no disputes under the Lease shall be subject to arbitration unless Beneficiary and Tenant agree to submit a particular dispute to arbitration.

4. Subordination and Release of Purchase Options. Tenant represents that it has no right or option of any nature to purchase the Property or any portion of the Property or any interest in the Borrower. To the extent Tenant has or acquires any such right or option, these rights or options are acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and are waived and released as to Beneficiary and any Foreclosure Purchaser.

5. Acknowledgement by Landlord. In the event of a default under the Deed of Trust, at the election of Beneficiary, Tenant shall and is directed to pay all rent and all other sums due under the Lease to Beneficiary.

6. Construction of Improvements. Beneficiary shall not have any obligation or incur any liability with respect to the completion of the improvements in which the Premises are located at the commencement of the term of the Lease.

7. Notice. All notices under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been properly given if delivered by overnight courier service or mailed by United States certified mail, with return receipt requested, postage prepaid to the party receiving the notice at its address set forth in the Defined Terms (or at such other address as shall be given in writing by such party to the other parties) and shall be deemed complete upon receipt or refusal of delivery.

8. Miscellaneous. Beneficiary shall not be subject to any provision of the Lease that is inconsistent with this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to derogate from or in any way impair or affect the lien or the provisions of the Deed of Trust. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of in which the Property is located.

9. Liability and Successors and Assigns. In the event that Beneficiary acquires title to the Premises or the Property, Beneficiary shall have no obligation nor incur any liability beyond the lesser of (a) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) or (b) Beneficiary’s then equity interest in the Property and Tenant shall look solely to Beneficiary’s then equity interest for the payment and performance of any obligations imposed upon Beneficiary under this Agreement or under the Lease but Tenant’s recourse against Beneficiary shall in no event exceed the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). This Agreement shall run with the land and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and, their respective successors and permitted assigns including a Foreclosure Purchaser. If a Foreclosure Purchaser acquires the Property or if Beneficiary assigns or transfers its interest in the Note and Deed of Trust or the Property, all obligations and liabilities of Beneficiary under this Agreement shall terminate and be the responsibility of the Foreclosure Purchaser or other party to whom Beneficiary’s interest is assigned or transferred. The interest of Tenant under this Agreement may not be assigned or transferred except in connection with an assignment of its interest in the Lease which has been consented to by Beneficiary.

RIDER 2

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

This Rider 2 (“Rider 2”) is attached to and a part of a certain Office Lease dated as of April 26, 2005 executed concurrently herewith by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, a New York corporation, as Landlord, and Learning Tree International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as Tenant, for the Premises as described therein (the “Lease”).

SECTION 1. DEFINED TERMS; FORCE AND EFFECT

Capitalized terms used in this Rider 2 shall have the same meanings set forth in the Lease except as otherwise specified herein and except for terms capitalized in the ordinary course of punctuation. This Rider 2 forms a part of the Lease. Should any inconsistency arise between this Rider 2 and any other provision of the Lease as to the specific matters which are the subject of this Rider 2, the terms and conditions of this Rider 2 shall control.

SECTION 2. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

SECTION 3. OPTION TO EXTEND.

(a) Landlord hereby grants Tenant a single option to extend the initial Term of the Lease for an additional period of five (5) years (such period may be referred to as the “Option Term”), as to the entire Premises as it may then exist, upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section (the “Option To Extend”), and provided that at the time of exercise of such right Tenant or its Affiliate must be in occupancy of the entire Premises.

(b) Tenant’s election (the “Election Notice”) to exercise the Option To Extend must be given to Landlord in writing no earlier than the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date and no later than the date which is nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date. If Tenant either fails or elects not to exercise its Option to Extend by not timely giving its Election Notice, then the Option to Extend shall be null and void.

(c) The Option Term shall commence immediately after the expiration of the initial Term of the Lease. Tenant’s leasing of the Premises during the Option Term shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease except that (i) the Monthly Base Rent and, if applicable, the calendar year which serves as the base year for calculation of Base Operating Expenses pursuant to the Lease, shall be amended to equal the “Option Term Rent”, defined and determined in the manner set forth in the immediately following Subsection; (ii) the Security Deposit, if any, shall be increased within fifteen (15) days after the Option Term Rent has been determined by the amount of the increase in the Base Monthly Rent, based upon the highest monthly installment of Monthly Base Rent for the Option Term; (iii) Tenant shall accept the Premises in its “as is” condition without any obligation of Landlord to repaint, remodel, repair, improve or alter the Premises or to provide Tenant any allowance therefor; and (iv) there shall be no further option or right to extend the term of the Lease. If Tenant timely and properly exercises the Option To Extend, references in the Lease to the Term shall be deemed to mean the initial Term as extended by the Option Term unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

(d) The Option Term Rent shall mean the “Fair Market Rental Rate” (as defined in Exhibit D hereto). The determination of Fair Market Rental Rate based upon the foregoing criteria shall be made by Landlord, in the good faith exercise of Landlord’s business judgment. Within forty-five (45) days after Tenant’s exercise of the Option To Extend, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s determination of Option Term Rent for the Premises. Provided however, if Landlord notifies Tenant of Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate which is greater than the Preceding Rent, and that Landlord will require such Fair Market Rental Rate as the Option Term Rent, Tenant may, within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, deliver to Landlord a written notice either: (i) accepting Landlord’s estimate of Fair Market Rental Rate, in which case the extension shall be effective and binding (subject to Subsection (f) below) at the accepted rate; or (ii) setting forth Tenant’s good faith estimate of the Fair Market Rental Rate, in which case Landlord and Tenant will promptly confer and attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Rate. Tenant’s failure to timely deliver such notice within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed its cancellation of the Option. In the event Tenant has delivered notice setting forth Tenant’s different estimate of Fair Market Rental Rate, but no agreement in writing between Tenant and Landlord on Fair Market Rental Rate is reached within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s estimate, the Fair Market Rental Rate shall be determined in accordance with the terms of Exhibit D.

(e) This Option to Extend is personal to Learning Tree International, Inc. and may not be used by, and shall not be transferable or assignable (voluntarily or involuntarily) to any person or entity, except an Affiliate which is an assignee of the Lease and has complied with the requirements of Article Ten applicable to a transfer to an Affiliate and such Affiliate may exercise the Option to Extend with Tenant joining in or consenting to such exercise, and in such event Tenant shall remain liable for all obligation under this Lease, including those resulting from any such exercise with the same force and effect as if Tenant had joined in such exercise.

(f) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, Landlord shall have the option, exercisable at any time prior to commencement of the Option Term, to terminate all of the provisions of this Section with respect to the Option to Extend, whereupon any prior or subsequent exercise of this Option to Extend shall be of no force or effect:

(i) Tenant’s failure to timely exercise or timely to perform the Option to Extend in strict accordance with the provisions of this Section.

(ii) The existence at the time Tenant exercises the Option to Extend or at the commencement of the Option Term of a Default on the part of Tenant under the Lease or of any state of facts which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a Default.

(iii) Tenant’s third Default under the Lease prior to the commencement of the Option Term, notwithstanding that all such Defaults may subsequently be cured.

(g) Without limiting the generality of any provision of the Lease, time shall be of the essence with respect to all of the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 4. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.

(a) Landlord hereby grants Tenant a one-time right of offer to lease each “Offer Space” (as defined below) during the period beginning on the execution date of this Lease and expiring nine months prior to the Expiration Date of the initial Term, or at the end of the initial Term if the Option to Extend is validly exercised and effective (the “Offer Period”), upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section (the “Offer Right”), and provided that at the time of exercise of such right: (i) Tenant must be in occupancy of the entire Premises; and (ii) there has been no material adverse change in Tenant’s financial position from such position as of the date of execution of the Lease, as certified by Tenant’s independent certified public accountants, and as supported by Tenant’s certified financial statements, copies of which shall be delivered to Landlord with Tenant’s written notice exercising its right hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may reasonably conclude there has been a material adverse change if Tenant’s independent certified public accountants do not certify there has been no such change.

(b) There shall be two (2) separate Offer Spaces, one being the space containing approximately 8,644 square feet of Rentable Area located on the first floor within the area known as Suite 160, and the other being the space containing approximately 2,594 square feet of Rentable Area located on the second floor within the area known as Suite 275, each respectively shown on Exhibit E to this Lease, but in each case only when and if it becomes “Available”. The term “Available” shall mean that the space in question is, or is expected by Landlord within a reasonable time to become, vacant, unencumbered and free and clear of all claims and rights of other parties and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, space shall not be Available if as to such space there is a lease, lease option or option or other right of extension, renewal, expansion, refusal, negotiation or similar or other right, either: (i) pursuant to any lease or written agreement which is entered into on or before the beginning of the Negotiation Period, or (ii) pursuant to any extensions or renewal of any of the foregoing, whether or not set forth in the original lease or written agreement, or (iii) pursuant to any amendment or modification of any of the foregoing (no matter when executed).

(c) Tenant acknowledges that as of the execution date of this Lease the Offer Space on the first floor is under a lease with Highridge Partners, Inc. which expires May 31, 2006, and that Landlord is free to extend or renew such lease with the lessee without offering it to Tenant under this Offer Right. As to parties other than the lessee under the existing lease of the Offer Space, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or prevent Landlord from marketing, discussing or negotiating with any other party for a lease of, or rights of any nature as to, any part of such space, but during the Offer Period before Landlord makes any written proposal to any other party for Offer Space, or contemporaneously with making any such proposal, or within a reasonable time after receipt of a proposal acceptable to Landlord, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (“Landlord’s Notice”), which notice identifies the Offer Space Rent (defined below) at which Tenant may elect to lease the Offer Space. For a period of five (5) business days after Landlord gives Landlord’s Notice (the “Election Notice Period”), Tenant shall have the right to lease of all (and not less than all) the space identified in Landlord’s Notice on the terms identified therein by giving Landlord written notice (“Election Notice”) of Tenant’s election to exercise its Offer Right to lease such space. Tenant’s leasing of the Offer Space shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease except that (i) the Monthly Base Rent and, if applicable, the Operating Expenses Base Year, the Taxes Base Year and free parking pursuant to the Lease shall be amended to equal the “Offer Space Rent”, defined and determined in the manner set forth in the immediately following Subsection, (ii) the term of the lease of the Offer Space shall be the remaining Term of this Lease (including any extension pursuant to the Option to Extend); (iii) the Security Deposit, if any, shall be increased within fifteen (15) days after Tenant gives its Election Notice by the amount equal to the highest monthly installment of Monthly Base Rent allocable to the Offer Space during the remainder of the initial Term of the Lease; and (iv) Tenant shall accept the Offer Space in its “as is” condition without any obligation of Landlord to repaint, remodel, repair, improve or alter the Premises or to provide Tenant any allowance therefor.

(d) The Offer Space Rent shall mean the “Fair Market Rental Rate” as defined in Exhibit D attached hereto. The determination of Fair Market Rental Rate based upon the criteria set forth in Exhibit D shall be made by Landlord, in the good faith exercise of Landlord’s business judgment.

(e) If Tenant either fails or elects not to exercise its Offer Right as to the Offer Space covered by Landlord’s Notice by not giving its Election Notice within the Election Notice Period or if Tenant gives Tenant’s Election Notice but does not execute a lease or amendment to this Lease prepared by Landlord within five (5) business days after Landlord gives Tenant such form, then in any such event Tenant’s Offer Right shall be null and void, and at any time thereafter Landlord shall be free to lease and/or otherwise grant options or rights to such space on any terms and conditions whatsoever free and clear of the Offer Right.

(f) This Offer Right is personal to Learning Tree International, Inc. and may not be used by, and shall not be transferable or assignable (voluntarily or involuntarily) to any person or entity, except an Affiliate which is an assignee of the Lease and has complied with the requirements of Article Ten applicable to a transfer to an Affiliate and such Affiliate may exercise the Offer Right with Tenant joining in or consenting to such exercise, and in such event Tenant shall remain liable for all obligation under this Lease, including those resulting from any such exercise with the same force and effect as if Tenant had joined in such exercise.

(g) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, Landlord shall have the option, exercisable at any time prior to the time the Offer Space is to be added to the Premises, to terminate all of the provisions of this Section with respect to the Offer Right, with the effect of canceling and voiding any prior or subsequent exercise so this Offer Right is of no force or effect:

(i) Tenant’s failure to timely exercise the Offer Right in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

(ii) The existence at the time Tenant exercises the Offer Right or at the time the Offer Space is to be added to the Premises of any Default on the part of Tenant under the Lease or of any state of facts which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a Default.

(iii) Tenant’s third Default under the Lease prior to the date the Offer Space is to be added to the Premises, notwithstanding that all such Defaults may subsequently be cured.

Rider 2 - Page 2

jka v14-Continental_Grand-Learning_Tree-Lease

In the event of Landlord’s termination of the Offer Right pursuant to this Section, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses Landlord incurs in connection with Tenant’s exercise of the Offer Right including, without limitation, costs and expenses with respect to any brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees, and with respect to the design, construction or making of any tenant improvements, repairs or renovation or with respect to any payment of all or part of any allowance for any of the foregoing.

(h) Without limiting the generality of any provision of the Lease, time shall be of the essence with respect to all of the provisions of this Section.
