TeleTech Announces Agreement to Acquire Direct Alliance Corporation
Deal Expands TeleTech’s BPO Portfolio with Inside Sales, eCommerce,
and Channel Management Solutions

Englewood, Colo., June 15, 2006 — TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEC), a leading global business process outsourcing (BPO) provider, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire Direct Alliance Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insight Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSIT), a large information technology provider.

Throughout its 13-year history, Direct Alliance has enabled some of the world’s best-known hardware, software, and electronics manufacturers to expand market reach and increase revenue using Internet systems that allow customers to transact business in a collaborative eCommerce environment. The company offers outsourced sales and account management services that help the Fortune 500 efficiently target small and midsize businesses, a segment expected to reach $400 billion in 2006. In addition, Direct Alliance enables their customers to penetrate disparate divisions of large commercial and government accounts. Direct Alliance also improves sales and streamlines channel costs through proprietary systems and solutions to provide account management and relationship services to customers in the U.S. and abroad.

This acquisition further strengthens TeleTech’s commitment to growth and its focus on providing outsourced marketing, sales, and customer management solutions to large multinational clients. Such growth is a key component of TeleTech’s vision to integrate sales, service, support, and technology across the customer management lifecycle for its existing and future customer base.

“Direct Alliance is a logical strategic fit for TeleTech,” said Kenneth Tuchman, chairman and chief executive officer of TeleTech. “Our existing clients, primarily Global 1000 organizations, face numerous challenges when serving the small and midsize business market and selling across divisions in large multi-national corporations and government agencies. By enhancing our extensive portfolio of BPO capabilities with Direct Alliance’s inside sales, account management, and sophisticated distribution resource planning technology, we can create meaningful growth opportunities for all of TeleTech’s current and prospective clients.”

“We are thrilled that TeleTech will give us the platform to expand our vertical industry presence and our product offerings, and we are excited at the prospect of leveraging TeleTech’s global footprint,” said James Kebert, president of Direct Alliance. “Direct Alliance has developed an excellent reputation as an effective sales team for our clients, and we look forward to offering these capabilities to TeleTech’s clients as well. We are confident this integration will enable us to leverage our respective strengths quickly in order to grow our combined businesses.”

For 2005, Direct Alliance generated revenue of $77.4 million. TeleTech will acquire 100 percent of the common stock of Direct Alliance and believes the all-cash acquisition will be slightly accretive to GAAP earnings during the first 12 months of combined operations. The transaction is expected to close on or before June 30, 2006.

Purchaser shall provide to Seller full access, during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice, to the books and records of the Company and to the Company’s personnel and accountants in connection with Seller’s preparation of the Seller’s Report, provided that Seller shall not interfere with the Business in the exercise of such right.

Statement.” The Working Capital Closing Statement shall have the legal effect of an arbitral award and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties.

     (vi) If the Working Capital calculated by reference to the Working Capital Closing Statement (the “Closing Working Capital”) is less than the estimated Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to such shortfall (the “Working Capital Shortfall”). In such event, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of the Working Capital Shortfall within 10 calendar days after the date of receipt by Seller of the Working Capital Closing Statement as finally established pursuant to this Section 2.3(b). If the Closing Working Capital is more than the estimated Working Capital described in Section 2.3(a), the Purchaser Price shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to such surplus (the “Working Capital Surplus”).

     (i) Other than for the Quarles & Brady Claim, the Excluded Assets and all claims arising from or related to a breach of Sections 4.9, 4.14, 4.15, or 4.17, Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Purchaser for any Losses until such time as the amount of the aggregate Losses equal or exceed $250,000 (the “Purchaser’s Deductible”), after which there may only be recovered those Losses in excess of the Purchaser’s Deductible, subject to the limitations in Section 11.1(d)(ii).

     (ii) Other than for the Quarles & Brady Claim, the Excluded Assets, all claims arising from or related to a breach of Sections 4.9, 4.14, 4.15, 4.17 or

29

     8.3(b), for Losses arising from items listed under the section titled “Infringement, Misappropriation” in Schedule 4.12, and for Losses described in Section 11.1(c), Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify Purchaser for any Losses in excess of $10.0 million; provided, however, that all Losses of Purchaser shall be applied first to satisfy the Purchaser’s Deductible.

     (iii) Seller shall have no liability under this Section 11.1 for a breach of any representation or warranty to the extent (1) a reserve in respect of any Losses was made in the Financial Statements, (2) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by Seller with respect to such Losses, and (3) any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by Seller from any third party with respect to such Losses.

11.3 Matters Involving Third Parties.

     (a) For purposes of this Section 11.3, a party against which indemnification may be sought is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party” and the party which may be entitled to indemnification is referred to as the “Indemnified Party.”

30

     (b) If any third party shall notify the Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Section 11, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party thereof in writing setting forth, in reasonable detail, the nature and basis of the claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known, and any other relevant documentation in the possession of the Indemnified Party (a “Notice of Claim”); provided, however, that failure on the part of the Indemnified Party to notify any Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is thereby materially prejudiced by such failure.

     (c) The Indemnifying Party may, at its own expense, participate in the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding by providing written notice to the Indemnified Party and delivering to the Indemnified Party a written agreement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 11 for all Losses arising out of such claim, suit, action or proceeding, and that the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the entire amount of any Loss, at any time during the course of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, assume the defense thereof, provided that the Indemnifying Party’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Party upon the Indemnified Party’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party. If, however, the Indemnifying Party reasonably determines, based upon written advice of counsel, that the representation by the Indemnifying Party’s counsel of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party would present a conflict of interest, then such Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel (Indemnifying Party’s consent to the choice of counsel is required, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to represent or defend it in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of one such separate counsel. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the Parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

     (d) Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding of the kind referred to in this Section 11.3 shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise, provided that no obligation, restriction or Loss shall be imposed on the Indemnified Party as a result of such settlement without its prior written consent. The Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party at least 30 days’ notice of any proposed settlement or compromise of any claim, suit, action or proceeding it is defending, during which time the Indemnifying Party may reject such proposed settlement or compromise; provided that from and after such rejection, the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to assume the defense of and full and complete

31

liability and responsibility for such claim, suit, action or proceeding and any and all Losses in connection therewith in excess of the amount of unindemnifiable Losses which the Indemnified Party would have been obligated to pay under the proposed settlement or compromise.

Section 12. Termination of Agreement

     12.1 Right to Terminate Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing:

     (a) by the mutual written agreement of Seller, the Company and Purchaser;

     (b) by Purchaser at any time after July 14, 2006, if any condition set forth in Section 9 shall not have been satisfied or waived (unless, in the case of any such termination by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.1(b), the failure of such event to occur shall have been caused by the action or failure to act by Purchaser, which action or failure to act constitutes a breach of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement); provided, however, that the deadline set forth in this Section 12.1(b) shall be automatically extended until July 31, 2006 if Seller and the Company have not obtained the necessary consents pursuant to Section 9.3; or

     (c) by Seller and the Company at any time after July 14, 2006, if any condition set forth in Section 10 shall not have been satisfied or waived (unless, in the case of any such termination by Seller pursuant to this Section 12.1(c), the failure of such event to occur shall have been caused by the action or failure to act by Seller, which action or failure to act constitutes a breach of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement); provided, however, that the deadline set forth in this Section 12.1(c) shall be automatically extended until July 31, 2006 if Seller and the Company have not obtained the necessary consents pursuant to Section 9.3.

     12.2 Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1:

     (a) Purchaser shall promptly cause to be returned to Seller all documents and information obtained in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all documents and information obtained in connection with Purchaser’s investigation of the Company’s Business, operations and legal affairs, including any copies made by Purchaser of any such documents or information; and

     (b) all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall terminate and expire, and shall cease to be of any force or effect, as of the date of termination, and neither party hereto shall have any obligation or liability to the other party hereto, provided that the Company shall remain liable for the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 13.2.

Section 13. Miscellaneous Provisions

32

     13.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other instrument delivered at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing for two years except for the representations and warranties of Seller described in Sections 4.9, 4.14, 4.15 and 4.22, which will survive the Closing until the applicable statute of limitations (the “Survival Period”). No claim may be brought based upon, directly or indirectly, any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement after the Survival Period.

     13.2 Expenses. The Company shall pay: (a) all costs and expenses associated with any governmental or regulatory agency filing, Consent, and approval required in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and (b) all costs and expenses associated with the compilation of the Financial Statements. Except as set forth in Section 8.6 and Section 13.9(c), all other fees, costs and expenses incurred by the parties in connection with this Agreement shall be the responsibility of the party incurring such costs and expenses.

     13.3 338(h)(10) Election. If requested by Purchaser, the Company and Seller agree to make an election pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code, as amended (and any corresponding provisions of Arizona and other applicable state tax law), with respect to the purchase of the Stock, which election shall allocate the Purchase Price to the Company’s assets pursuant to the method prescribed in Treasury Regulation §1.338-6 (as reasonably determined by Purchaser and agreed upon by Seller). Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller upon receipt of demand therefor (which demand shall be accompanied by copies of the documentation and computations described in the immediately following sentence) as additional Purchase Price an amount equal to the increased Taxes, if any, incurred by Seller with respect to the year in which the Closing occurs and the year in which any payments are made pursuant to this provision (including any additional Taxes in respect of such amounts) as a result of any Section 338(h)(10) Election or analogous elections made such that Seller will receive the same after-Tax proceeds with respect to the year in which the Closing occurs and the year in which any payments are made pursuant to this provision as if Seller had sold stock and no Section 338(h)(10) Election or analogous elections had been made. Such determinations shall be based upon documentation and computations made by Seller with respect to amounts due hereunder presented to Purchaser. Seller shall provide such documentation and computations to Purchaser no later than 90 calendar days after (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the date of any payment of additional Purchase Price giving rise to the obligation to pay additional amounts hereunder; provided, however, that Seller’s failure to provide such documentation and computations within such time shall not constitute a waiver of its rights to additional amounts hereunder. Any item of income, expense, gain, or loss (other than any amount in respect of allocations of Purchase Price in connection with a Section 338(h)(10) Election or additional amounts payable hereunder) occurring after the Closing Date shall not be considered in calculating increased Taxes.

13.4 Returns

     (a) Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely file, or cause to be timely filed, all Returns for periods that end after the Closing Date.

     (b) If a 338(h)(10) election pursuant to Section 13.3 is not made by Purchaser, such Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the past practices of Seller

33

and the Company in preparing Returns. Purchaser shall furnish Seller drafts of Returns as proposed to be filed for periods that end after the Closing Date no later than 30 calendar days prior to the due date (without extensions) for the filing of such Returns for Seller’s review and approval. Seller shall have 15 calendar days to review such Returns, and shall, at or prior to the end of such period, furnish its approval of such Returns or provide its comments and modifications to such Returns. Purchaser shall accept Seller’s comments and modifications to such Returns, and such Returns, as modified to reflect Seller’s comments and modifications, shall be deemed to have been approved by Seller. If Purchaser disagrees with or refuses to accept any of Seller’s comments or modifications, the parties shall consult and cooperate in good faith to resolve such disagreements and refusals, and the Returns as agreed to after such consultation shall be filed in such form as agreed to. If, however, the parties cannot reach agreement within 30 calendar days after Seller’s delivery of its comments and modifications to the draft Returns as originally proposed by Purchaser, the parties shall refer the resolution of such disagreement to a nationally recognized accounting firm reasonably acceptable to both parties for final resolution of such disagreement. Such accounting firm’s decision shall be binding on both parties, and shall be made not later than seven calendar days prior to the due date (including extensions) for the filing of such Returns. Each party shall bear 50% of the costs of such accounting firm incurred in connection therewith.

     13.5 Mutual Cooperation. The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other to achieve the purpose of this Agreement and shall execute such other and further documents and take such other and further actions as may be necessary or convenient to effect the transaction described herein.

     13.6 No Implied Representations. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in Section 4 and Section 5, neither party hereto, and none of the representatives of either party hereto, has made or is making any representations or warranties whatsoever, implied or otherwise.

     13.7 Public Announcements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement hereby agrees with the other party hereto that, without first consulting with the other party, except as may be required to comply with the requirements of any applicable Laws, and the rules and regulations of each stock exchange upon which the securities of one of the parties is listed, if any, no press release or similar public announcement or communication shall, prior to the Closing, be made or caused to be made concerning the execution or performance of this Agreement.

     13.8 Materiality. For purposes of this Agreement, a Contract, obligation, liability, transaction, change, breach, encumbrance, proceeding or other matter or event shall not be deemed to be “material” unless the existence or occurrence of such matter or event would, by itself, cause a reasonable purchaser to reverse its decision to enter into a transaction of the type contemplated by this Agreement.

     13.9 Arbitration. Any dispute that the parties are unable to resolve through mediation will be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the following procedures:

34

     (a) Demand for Arbitration; Location. Either party may demand arbitration by giving the other party written notice to such effect, which notice will describe, in reasonable detail, the facts and legal grounds forming the basis for the filing party’s request for relief and will include a statement of the total amount of damages claimed, if any, and any other remedy sought by that party. The arbitration will be held before one neutral arbitrator in Phoenix, Arizona before a mutually agreeable nationally or regionally recognized arbitration organization utilizing retired judges of that region such as J.A.M.S., and will proceed in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). If the parties are unable to agree on the organization to administer the arbitration, it will be administered by the AAA under its procedures for large and complex cases. There will be no discovery in such arbitration other than document requests for documents specifically related to this Agreement and the transaction contemplated herein, which documents will be produced within 15 calendar days after such requests. Pending the arbitrator’s determination of the merits of the dispute, either Party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to seek injunctive or other extraordinary relief.

     (b) Award. The decision of, and award rendered by, the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties. Upon the request of a party, the arbitrator’s award will include written findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

     (c) Attorney’s Fees. The losing party shall pay the prevailing party’s attorney’s fees, costs and expenses (including filing fees) with respect to the arbitration, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator.

     13.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

     13.11 Notices.

     (a) Property to be Leased. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, (i) that certain real property located at the 8123 South Hardy Drive (the “Hardy Premises”) and more particularly described on Exhibit A-l, together with all rights and privileges appurtenant thereto (the “Hardy Property”); (ii) that certain real property located at the 910 West Carver Road (the “Carver Premises”) and more particularly described on Exhibit A-2, together with all rights and privileges appurtenant thereto (the “Carver Property”, the Carver Property, together with the Hardy Property, collectively referred to as the “Property”); (iii) those improvements constructed on the Property (the “Improvements”) and (iv) together with the nonexclusive right to use, in common with Landlord and others, the Common Areas (defined below). The Property and the Improvements are sometimes referred to collectively as the “Premises”. The Improvements include an office building containing approximately 56,000 square feet on the Hardy Premises (the “Hardy Building”) and a mixed use commercial building on the Carver Premises (the “Carver Building”). The Carver Building consists of approximately 60,000 square feet of office space (the “Carver Office Premises”) and approximately 70,000 square feet of warehouse space (the “Carver Warehouse Premises”).

     (b) Project; Common Areas. The Carver Premises and Hardy Premises form an integrated project (the “Project”) and share common facilities for access, parking and other services. For the purposes of this Lease, the term “Common Areas” means common walkways, footpaths, driveways, parking areas, service areas, landscaped areas, common use facilities and amenities for the Project and such other areas within or adjacent to the Project which are subject to or are designed or intended for the common enjoyment, use and/or benefit of Landlord and the tenants of the Project.

     (c) Reserved Rights of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right, from time to time, without unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use, to alter the boundaries of the Premises, grant easements on the Premises, change the nature, extent, arrangement, use and location Common Areas and dedicate for public use portions thereof without Tenant’s consent, provided that no such grant or dedication shall unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises.

     2. Term. The Term of this Lease shall be the period set forth in the Summary of Lease and shall commence on the Commencement Date set forth in the Summary of Lease. If Tenant desires to extend its occupancy. Tenant must give Landlord notice in writing of its desire to do so at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Term. Such notice shall specify Tenant’s desire to extend for either (a) the Hardy Premises only; (b) the Hardy Premises and the Carver Office Premises or (c) both the Carver Premises and Hardy Premises. If Tenant delivers

3

such notice, Landlord and Tenant shall exercise good faith efforts to negotiate the terms and conditions for a new lease.

     3. Termination of Carver Premises Lease.

     (a) Termination. Provided Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease for either (A) all of the Carver Premises or (B) only the Carver Warehouse Premises by providing written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s intent to so terminate (“Termination Notice”). Tenant’s Termination Notice shall set forth the expiration date of the applicable Carver Premises lease, such date to be (i) no less than one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the Termination Notice is given; (ii) no later than the expiration of the Term and (iii) on the last day of a calendar month (the “Carver Expiration Date”). If Tenant initially exercises its termination right under this Section for only the Carver Warehouse Premises, Tenant may delivery a subsequent Termination Notice for the Carver Office Premises in accordance with this Section. Following the Carver Expiration Date the term “Premises” shall refer only to the Hardy Premises and, if applicable, the Carver Office Premises. If Tenant terminates the Lease for all of the Carver Premises, the term “Property” shall refer only to the Hardy Property.

     (b) Continuing Lease. In the event Tenant terminates the Lease for all or any portion of the Carver Premises, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect for the Hardy Premises and if applicable, the Carver Office Premises.

     (c) Parking. The surface parking and parking garage serving the Carver Premises and Hardy Premises shall continue to serve the Project following a termination of the Lease with respect to the Carver Premises pursuant to Section 3(a). Parking spaces shall be allocated to the Carver Building and Hardy Building on the basis of seven (7) parking spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet of building area. Any remaining parking spaces shall be allocated equitably by Landlord, and Landlord shall allocate reserved parking spaces in the parking garage on an equitable basis so that neither the Carver Premises or Hardy Premises have disproportionate amounts of reserved parking on the lower floors of the parking garage.

     (d) Use Restriction. In the event Tenant exercises its termination rights under this Section 3, Landlord agrees not to sell or lease all or any portion of the Carver Premises to a buyer or tenant who will use the Carver Premises as a back office processing center engaged in corporate sales of computer hardware in direct competition with Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may occupy all or any portion of the Carver Premises or lease all or any portion of the Carver Premises to a person or entity that controls, is controlled by or under common control with Landlord, regardless of such affiliated entity’s use.

     4. Rent.

     (a) Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord as rent for the Premises a sum equal to the Base Rent set forth in the Summary of Lease on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term of this Lease, except that Base Rent for the first full calendar month of the Term shall be payable simultaneously with the execution of this Lease by Tenant.

All of such charges, costs and expenses shall constitute additional rent, and upon the failure of Tenant to pay any of such costs, charges or expenses, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies as otherwise provided in this Lease for the failure of Tenant to pay Base Rent. “Rent” shall mean Base Rent, additional rent and all other amounts to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease. It is the intention of the parties hereto that Tenant shall in no event be entitled to any abatement of or reduction in Rent payable hereunder, except as expressly provided herein. Any present or future law to the contrary shall not alter this agreement of the parties.

     (d) Pro Rata Rent. Rent for any period during the Term which is for less than one month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment.

Except for any representation or warranty which may be specifically set forth in this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s agents have made any representations or warranties as to the Premises, including without limitation, any representation or warranty as to condition or fitness of the Improvements or the suitability of the Improvements for the conduct of Tenant’s business.

Nothing herein shall imply any duty upon the part of Landlord to do any such work and the performance thereof by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default in failing to perform the same. Landlord may, during the progress of any such work in or on the Premises, keep and store therein all necessary materials, tools, supplies and equipment. Landlord shall not be liable for the inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business or other damage of Tenant by reason of making such repairs or the performance of any such work, or on account of bringing materials, tools, supplies or equipment into or through the Premises during the course thereof, and the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall not be affected thereby; provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises.

     (b) Landlord’s Obligations to Repair. Landlord shall, at its expense, after written notice from Tenant, repair in a prompt and diligent manner any damage to the structural portions of the roof and bearing walls of the Premises; provided, however, that if such damage is caused by an act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, invitees, employees or contractors, then such repairs shall be at Tenant’s expense, payable to Landlord pursuant to this Section. Landlord shall repair and maintain all Project Common Areas. There shall be no abatement of Rent during the performance of such work. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for injury or damage that may result from any defect in the construction or conditions of the Premises, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, and Tenant shall seek recovery for such injury or damage solely from Tenant’s insurance and/or any other persons or entities which may be liable to Tenant.

On the last day of the Term, or on any sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in good order, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear alone excepted.

     8. Utilities. As part of Operating Costs, Tenant shall pay for water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon. If any such services are not separately metered to the Premises, Tenant shall pay a reasonable proportion to be determined by Landlord of all charges jointly metered with other premises, and Landlord’s determination thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive. If such services are separately metered, Tenant shall contract directly with such utility providers. Landlord reserves the right to grant easements on the Premises, and to dedicate for public use portions thereof, without Tenant’s consent provided that no such grant or dedication shall interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises or otherwise cause Tenant to incur cost or expense. From time to time upon Landlord’s demand, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, in accordance with Landlord’s instructions, any and all documents or instruments necessary to effect Tenant’s covenants herein.

     9. Alterations and Additions.

     (a) Limitation. Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, make any alterations, improvements or additions in, on or about the Premises. As a condition to giving such consent, Landlord may require that Tenant agree to (i) remove any such alterations, improvements, additions or utility installations at the expiration of the Term and restore the Premises to their prior condition or, in the alternative, (ii) require that such alterations, improvements, additions or utility installations shall become the property of Landlord and shall be left by Tenant upon the expiration of the Term.

     (b) Liens. Tenant shall pay, when due all claims for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Tenant at or for use on or in connection with the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanics’ or materialmens’ lien against the Premises or any interest therein. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) days notice prior to the commencement of any work on the Premises, and Landlord shall have the right to post notices of non-responsibility in or on the Premises as provided by law.

     (c) Removal. Unless Landlord requires their removal as set forth in Section 9(a) above or otherwise consents to such removal, all alterations, improvements, additions and utility installations made on or to the Premises shall become the property of Landlord and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the Term. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9(c), Tenant shall remove all trade fixtures, machinery, equipment and personal property which include tele/data equipment, genset/auto transfer switch, UPS, standalone data room/center cooling and security systems. Upon termination Tenant will restore the Premises to good and usable conditions, normal wear and tear excepted.

     10. Insurance.

If Landlord shall so request, no more than once every five (5) years, Tenant shall increase the amount of such liability insurance to the amount then customary for premises and uses similar to the Premises and Tenant’s use thereof. The liability policy or policies shall contain an endorsement (ISO Form CG 20-26) naming Landlord, its partners, members or shareholders (as applicable), Landlord’s lender and management agent and any persons, firms or corporations designated by Landlord as additional insureds. In addition, Tenant’s liability insurance policies shall be endorsed as needed to provide cross liability coverage for Tenant, Landlord and any lender of Landlord, to provide for severability of interests and so as to specifically delete the contractual liability exclusion for personal injury. Lastly, the policies required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10(a) shall not have a deductible in excess of Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00).

     (b) Property Insurance. Landlord, as part of Operating Costs, shall keep the Improvements insured during the Term in amounts and coverages as Landlord deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion.

All insurance policies shall be written as primary policies, and shall provide that any insurance which Landlord or Landlord’s lender may carry is strictly excess, secondary and non-contributing with any insurance carried by Tenant. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except after thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or “binders” thereof, or Landlord may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Tenant, which amount shall be payable by Tenant upon demand. Each such policy or certificate therefor issued by the insurer shall to the extent obtainable contain (i) a provision that no act or omission of Tenant which would otherwise result in forfeiture or reduction of the insurance therein provided shall affect or limit the obligation of the insurance company to pay the amount of any loss sustained and (ii) an agreement by the insurer that such policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice by registered mail to Landlord. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which shall invalidate the insurance policies referred to herein. If Tenant shall fail to procure and maintain any insurance required to be maintained by it by virtue of any provision of this Section 10, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain the same, at the expense of Tenant.

9

     (iii) Business income/business interruption insurance and extra expense coverage that will reimburse Tenant for all direct and indirect loss of income and changes and costs incurred arising out of all named perils insured against by Tenant’s policies of property insurance, including prevention of. or denial of use of or access to, all or part of the Premises as a result of those named perils. Such insurance coverage must provide coverage for no less than twelve (12) months of the loss of income, charges and costs contemplated under this Lease.

In addition to any other obligation of Tenant hereunder, including any obligation of Tenant to provide insurance, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for injury to Tenant’s business or any loss of income therefrom or for damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Premises, nor shall Landlord be liable for injury to the person of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents or contractors, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause whatsoever, resulting from conditions arising upon the Premises, or from other sources or places, and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Tenant, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Instead, Tenant shall seek recovery for any such injury, loss or damage solely from any insurance carried by Tenant and/or from any other persons or entities which may be liable to Tenant for such injury, loss or damage.

     12. Damage or Destruction; Obligation to Rebuild.

     (a) Landlord’s Obligation to Rebuild. If the Premises are damaged or destroyed during the Term, Landlord shall, except as hereinafter provided, diligently repair or rebuild them to substantially the condition in which they existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction.

11

     (b) Abatement of Rent. Rent due and payable hereunder shall be abated, during the period commencing with such damage or destruction and ending with a substantial completion by Landlord of the work of repair or reconstruction which Landlord is obligated or undertakes to do.

     (c) Option to Terminate.

     (i) If the Improvements are damaged or destroyed to the extent that Landlord determines that the same cannot, with reasonable diligence, be fully repaired or restored by Landlord within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the damage or destruction, the sole right of Landlord and Tenant shall be the option to terminate this Lease as hereinafter provided; provided, however, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease unless Landlord determines that the Premises cannot be so repaired or restored within such one hundred twenty (120) day period of time. Landlord shall determine whether the Improvements can be fully repaired or restored within the one hundred twenty (120) day period, and Landlord’s determination shall be conclusive on Tenant. Landlord shall notify Tenant of its determination, in writing, within thirty (30) days after the date of the damage or destruction. If Landlord determines that the Premises, can be fully repaired or restored within the one hundred twenty (120) day-period, or if it is determined that such repair or restoration cannot be made within said period but no party having the right to do so elects to terminate within thirty (30) days from the date of said determination, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall diligently repair and restore the damage as soon as reasonably possible. If Landlord undertakes restoration of the Premises, but does not complete restoration within one hundred twenty (120) days, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by deliver of written notice to Landlord; provided that if Landlord completes restoration within fifteen (15) days of Tenant’s termination notice, Tenant’s termination shall be deemed withdrawn.

     (ii) If more than ten percent (10%) of the Improvements are damaged or destroyed during the last six (6) months of the Term, either of Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination within thirty (30) days from the date of such casualty occurrence.

     (d) Uninsured Casualties. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event of damage to or destruction of all or any portion of the Improvements which is not fully covered (except for deductible amounts) by the insurance proceeds received by Landlord, or in the event that any portion of such insurance proceeds must be paid over to or are retained by the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Property or Premises, Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, given within thirty (30) days after the date of notice to Landlord that said damage or destruction is not so covered or that the proceeds are not available for repair of the damage or destruction. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect and the Improvements shall be repaired and rebuilt in accordance with the provisions for repair set forth in Section 12(a) above.

12

     (e) Tenant’s Waiver. With respect to any destruction which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair under the terms of this Section, Tenant hereby waives all right to terminate this Lease pursuant to rights otherwise presently or hereafter accorded by the provisions of Arizona Revised Statutes Section 33-343 or other applicable laws to tenants, except as expressly otherwise provided herein.

     13. Taxes and Assessments.

     (a) Payment. As part of Operating Costs, Tenant shall pay all Property Taxes (as defined below) applicable to the Premises during the Term. If in connection with any financing obtained by Landlord on the Premises or any portion thereof, Landlord is required to pay into an impound account any sums due as Property Taxes, then Tenant shall pay such sums to Landlord in satisfaction of Tenant’s obligations to pay such sums due as Property Taxes as additional rent and without deduction or offset on or before the first day of each and every month during which said sums are required to be impounded. Tenant shall promptly furnish Landlord with evidence satisfactory to Landlord that Property Taxes have been paid. If any Property Taxes due with respect to the Premises shall cover any period of time prior to or after the expiration of the Term, Tenant’s share of such Property Taxes shall be equitably prorated to cover only the period of time within the tax fiscal year during which this Lease shall be in effect. If Tenant shall fail to pay any Property Taxes, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay the same, in which case Tenant shall repay such amount to Landlord as additional rent.

     (b) Definition. As used herein, the term “Property Taxes” shall include any form of general or special assessment, license fee, levy penalty, or tax (other than inheritance, estate, franchise or capital stock taxes) imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal government, or any school, agricultural, lighting, drainage or other improvement district, or any part or parts thereof, or against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises or any part thereof or against Landlord’s right to rent or other income therefrom (but exclusive of taxes levied on or computed by reference to Landlord’s net income as a whole), or against Landlord’s business of leasing the Premises, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Rent to be paid hereunder shall be paid to Landlord absolutely net, without deduction of any nature whatsoever, foreseeable or unforeseeable, except as expressly set forth herein.

     (c) Separate Assessment. If the Premises are not separately assessed, Tenant’s liability shall be an equitable portion of the Property Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed, such portion to be determined by Landlord from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor’s work sheet or such other information as may be reasonably available. Landlord’s reasonable determination thereof, in good faith, shall be conclusive.

     (d) Personal Property. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property contained on the Premises or elsewhere. Tenant shall cause such trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the Premises.

13

     (e) Rent Tax. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a sum equal to the amount which Landlord is required to pay or collect by reason of any privilege tax, sales tax, gross proceeds tax, rent tax, or like tax levied, assessed or imposed by any governmental authority or subdivision thereof, upon or measured by any Rent. Such sum shall be paid simultaneously with the payment by Tenant to Landlord of the Rent to which such tax is attributable or, in the case of a tax not attributable to Rent, at such time as Landlord shall demand payment thereof. Nothing contained in this Lease shall require Tenant to pay any franchise, corporate, estate, inheritance, succession, or transfer tax of Landlord or any tax upon the net income of Landlord.

     14. Condemnation.

     (a) Rent Reduction or Lease Termination. If the Premises or any portion thereof is taken under the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said power (all of which are herein called “condemnation”), this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever first occurs (the “Condemnation Date”) and the Rent shall be reduced (as of the Condemnation Date) as provided below. If (i) more than ten percent (10%) of the floor area of any building comprising the Improvements or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the land area of the Property which is not occupied by any such building is taken by condemnation, and (ii) as a result of such taking by condemnation the balance of the Premises remaining after such condemnation is not reasonably suitable for the use to which the Premises were being put immediately prior to the condemnation, Landlord or Tenant may at either party’s option, to be exercised in writing only within ten (10) days after Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days of the Condemnation Date) terminate this Lease as of the Condemnation Date. If neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this Lease in accordance with the foregoing, or in the event that that portion of the Premises taken by condemnation is not sufficiently large so as to give rise to the right to terminate this Lease as above provided, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Rent shall be reduced (as of the Condemnation Date) in the proportion that the area taken by condemnation bears to the total area of the Premises.

     (b) Award. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such power shall be the property of Landlord, whether such award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any award specifically attributed by the condemning authority to loss or damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures and removable personal property or to Tenant’s relocation costs. In the event that this Lease is not terminated by reason of such condemnation, Landlord shall, to the extent of severance damages received by Landlord in connection with such condemnation and not paid to or retained by the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Property or the Premises, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such condemnation except to the extent that Tenant has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority (in which event such reimbursement to Tenant shall also be applied to such repair). Tenant shall pay any amount in excess of such severance damages required to complete such repair to the extent the same is part of Tenant’s maintenance obligation pursuant to Section 7(a) of this Lease; provided, however, if the severance damages are not sufficient to pay all of the

14

repair costs and if any specific item of repair work shall be expected to have a useful life which extends beyond the term of this Lease (including the term of any options which Tenant may have the right to exercise), then Tenant shall be obligated to pay with respect to the identifiable cost of such item of repair only the portion of the total cost of such item of repair which bears the same ratio to the total cost of such item of repair as the remaining term of this Lease (as determined on the Condemnation Date and including the term of any options which the Tenant may have the right to exercise) bears to the reasonably anticipated useful life of such item of repair.

     (c) Temporary Condemnation. If the temporary use of the whole or any part of the Premises shall be taken by condemnation for less than ninety (90) days, the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way, and Tenant in such event shall continue to pay in full the Rent and other charges herein reserved, without reduction or abatement, and, except to the extent that Tenant is prevented from so doing by reason of any order of the condemning authority, shall continue to perform and observe all of the other covenants, conditions and agreements of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant as though such taking had not occurred. In the event of any such temporary condemnation Tenant shall, so long as it is otherwise in compliance with the provisions of this Lease, be entitled to receive for itself any and all awards or payments made for such use of that portion of the Premises so taken; provided, however, that Tenant shall repair any and all damages to the Premises (whether or not covered by any award to Tenant) caused by such temporary condemnation, to the extent the same is part of Tenant’s maintenance obligations under Section 7(a).

     15. Assignment and Subletting.

     (a) Consent. Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold. Landlord may, however, withhold its consent to such assignment, transfer, mortgage, subletting or other transfer or encumbrance pursuant to the preceding sentence for substantive reasons including, without limitation, the financial condition of the proposed transferee, proposed transferee’s business reputation and past dealings with the proposed transferee. Any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, subletting or encumbrance without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease. The consent of Landlord to any one assignment, transfer, mortgage, subletting, or encumbrance shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, transfer, mortgage, subletting, or encumbrance. For the purposes of this Section 15, an assignment shall be deemed to include the following: (a) if Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change (voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise) of any of the partners thereof, a purported assignment, transfer, mortgage or encumbrance (voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise) by any partner thereof of such partner’s interest in Tenant, or the dissolution of the partnership; (b) if Tenant consists of more than one person, a purported assignment, transfer, mortgage or encumbrance (voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise) from one person unto the other or others; (c) if Tenant (or a constituent partner of Tenant) is a corporation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of Tenant (or such constituent partner), or any change in the ownership (voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law, creation of new stock or otherwise) of twenty percent (20%) or more of its capital stock from the ownership existing on

15

the Commencement Date; (d) if Tenant is a limited liability company, a withdrawal or change of any of the members thereof, a purported assignment, transfer, mortgage or encumbrance (voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise) by any member of such member’s interest in Tenant, or the dissolution of the limited liability company; or (e) the sale of twenty percent (20%) or more in value of the assets of Tenant (in each case, a “change of control”); provided, however, that a change of control shall only require Landlord’s consent if the change of control would result in entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant being competitors of Landlord. Tenant shall give Landlord no less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice of a change in control.

     (b) Tenant’s Continuing Liability. Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rent or release Tenant of Tenant’s obligation to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder unless Landlord’s written consent shall so specifically provide, and Landlord under no circumstances shall be obligated to release Tenant from any such liability. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof.

     (c) Information. In connection with any proposed assignment or sublease, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in writing:

     (i) The name of the proposed assignee or subtenant;

     (ii) Such information as to the financial responsibility and standing of said assignee or subtenant as Landlord may reasonably require; and

     (iii) All of the terms and conditions upon which the proposed assignment or subletting is to be made.

     (d) Excess Sublease Rental. If for any sublease or assignment, Tenant receives rent or other consideration (less Tenant’s actual, out of pocket costs incurred in entering into such sublease or assignment), either directly or indirectly (by performance of Tenant’s obligations or otherwise) and either initially or over the Term of the sublease or assignment, in excess of the Rent called for hereunder, or in the case of the sublease or assignment of a portion of the Premises, in excess of such Rent fairly allocable to such portion, after appropriate adjustments to assure that all other payments called for hereunder are appropriately taken into account:

     (i) For months 1-12, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at the same time as Rent is due hereunder, all of the excess of each such payment of rent or other consideration received by Tenant (less Tenant’s actual, out of pocket costs incurred in entering into such sublease or assignment) within five (5) days after its receipt.

     (ii) For months 13-18, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at the same time as Rent is due hereunder, one-half (1/2) of the excess of each such payment of rent or other consideration received by Tenant (less Tenant’s actual, out of pocket costs incurred in entering into such sublease or assignment) within five (5) days after its receipt.

16

     (e) Release. Whenever Landlord conveys its interest in the Premises, Landlord shall be automatically released from the further performance of covenants on the part of Landlord herein contained, and from any and all further liability, obligations, costs and expenses, demands, causes of action, claims or judgments arising from or growing out of, or connected with this Lease after the effective date of said release. The effective date of said release shall be the date the assignee executes an assumption of such an assignment whereby the assignee expressly agrees to assume all of Landlord’s obligations, duties, responsibilities and liabilities with respect to this Lease. If requested, Tenant shall execute a form of release and such other documentation as may be required to effect the provisions of this Section.

     (f) Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that Landlord shall consent to a sublease or assignment under Section 15(a) above, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the giving of such consent and review of the information submitted by Tenant, not to exceed $2,000.

     16. Defaults; Remedies.

     (a) Defaults. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a material default and material breach of this Lease by Tenant:

     (i) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent, as and when due, where such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant;

     (ii) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than failure to pay Rent, where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that it is capable of being cured but more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion; or

     (iii) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the filing by or against Tenant of a petition for order of relief in bankruptcy for the purpose of bankruptcy liquidation or reorganization under any law relating to bankruptcy whether now existing or hereafter enacted (including, without limitation, any petition filed by or against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1330 (“Bankruptcy Code”) as amended; except that, in the case of a filing against Tenant of such a petition, such filing shall not be a default if the petition is dismissed or discharged on or before thirty (30) days after the filing thereof; the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30)

17

days. Unless Landlord’s express written consent thereto is first obtained, in no event shall this Lease, or any interest herein or hereunder or any estate created hereby, be assigned or assignable by operation of law or by, in or under voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy liquidation or reorganization proceedings or otherwise and in no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy liquidation or reorganization proceedings. Any purported assignment or transfer in violation of the provisions of this Section 16(a)(iii) shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant and in connection with any such default and breach Landlord shall have the rights and remedies described in Section 16(b) below, including, without limitation, the election to terminate this Lease. As used in this Section 16(a)(iii) the words “bankruptcy liquidation or reorganization proceedings” shall include any proceedings under any law relating to bankruptcy whether now existing or hereafter enacted (including, without limitation, proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code as amended.

     (b) Remedies.

     (i) In the event of any default and breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease and notwithstanding the vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, this Lease shall continue in effect so long as Landlord does not expressly terminate Tenant’s right to possession in any of the manners specified in this Section and Landlord may, at Landlord’s option and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any other rights or remedies which it may have by reason of such default and breach, exercise all of its rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation:

     (A) The right to declare the Term ended and to reenter the Premises and take possession thereof and remove all persons therefrom, and Tenant shall have no further claim in or to the Premises or under this Lease; or

     (B) The right without declaring this Lease ended to reenter the Premises, take possession thereof, remove all persons therefrom and occupy or lease the whole or any part thereof for and on account of Tenant and upon such terms and conditions and for such rent as Landlord may reasonably deem proper and to collect such rent or any other rent that may hereafter become payable and apply the same as provided in Section 16(b)(ii) below; or

     (C) The right, even though Landlord may have relet the Premises or brought an action to collect Rent and other charges without terminating this Lease, to thereafter elect to terminate this Lease and all of the rights of Tenant in or to the Premises; or

     (D) The right, without terminating this Lease, to bring an action or actions to collect Rent and other charges hereunder which are from time to time past due and unpaid or to enforce any other provisions of this Lease imposing obligations on Tenant, it being understood that the bringing of any such action or actions shall not terminate this Lease unless written notice of termination is given.

18

     (ii) Should Landlord relet the Premises under the provisions of Section 16(b)(i)(B) above, Landlord may execute any lease either in its own name or in the name of Tenant, but Tenant hereunder shall have no right or authority whatsoever to collect any rent from the new tenant. The proceeds of any such reletting shall first be applied to the payment of the costs and expenses of reletting the Premises, including without limitation, reasonable brokerage commissions and alterations and repairs which Landlord deems reasonably necessary and advisable and to the payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the Tenant’s default, the retaking of the Premises and such reletting and, second, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than Rent, due hereunder, including, without limitation, storage charges owing from Tenant to Landlord. When such costs and expenses of reletting have been paid, and if there is no such indebtedness or such indebtedness has been paid, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit for the net amount of rental received from such reletting each month during the unexpired balance of the Term, and Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly on the first day of each month as specified herein such sums as may be required to make up the rentals provided for in this Lease. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as obligating Landlord to relet the whole or any part of the Premises.

     (iii) Should Landlord elect to terminate this Lease under the provisions of Section 16(b)(i)(A) or (C) above, Landlord shall be entitled to recover immediately from Tenant (in addition to any other amounts recoverable by Landlord as provided by law), the following amounts:

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

     (B) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;

     (C) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and

     (D) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the Lease.

For purposes of computing “the worth at the time of the award” of the amount specified in Section 16(b)(iii)(C) above, such amount shall be discounted at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank closest to the Property at the time of award. For purposes of computing “the worth at the time of the award” under Sections 16(b)(iii)(A) and (B) above, an interest rate of ten percent (10%) per annum shall be utilized.

19

     (iv) If Landlord shall elect to reenter the Premises as provided above, Landlord shall not be liable for damages by reason of any reentry. Tenant hereby waives all claims and demands against Landlord for damages or loss arising out of or in connection with any reentering and taking possession of the Premises and waives all claims for damages or loss arising out of or in connection with any destruction of or damage to the Premises, or for any loss of property belonging to Tenant or to any other person, firm or corporation which may be in or upon the Premises at the time of such reentry, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

     (v) Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease, Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises or the liability of Tenant to pay Rent thereafter to accrue or its liability for damages under any of the provisions hereof by any reentry hereunder or by any action in unlawful detainer or otherwise to obtain possession of the Premises, unless Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing that Landlord has so elected to terminate this Lease. Tenant agrees that the service by Landlord of any notice pursuant to the unlawful detainer statutes or comparable statutes of the state or locality in which the Premises are located and the surrender of possession pursuant to such notice shall not (unless Landlord elects to the contrary at the time of or at any time subsequent to the service of such notice and such election shall be evidenced by a written notice to Tenant) be deemed to be a termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. No reentry or reletting under this Section shall be deemed to constitute a surrender or termination of this Lease, or of any of the rights, options, elections, powers and remedies reserved by Landlord hereunder, or a release of Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder, unless Landlord shall specifically notify Tenant, in writing, to that effect. No such reletting shall preclude Landlord from thereafter at any time terminating this Lease as herein provided.

     (vi) All fixtures, furnishings, goods, equipment, chattels or other personal property of Tenant remaining on the Premises at the time that Landlord takes possession thereof may at Landlord’s election be stored at Tenant’s expense or sold or otherwise disposed of by Landlord in any manner permitted by applicable law.

     (vii) All rights, options, elections, powers and remedies of Landlord under the provisions of this Lease are cumulative of each other and of every other right, option, election, power or remedy which Landlord may otherwise have at law or in equity and all or any of which Landlord is hereby authorized to exercise. The exercise of one or more rights, options, elections, powers or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies Landlord may have upon a breach and default under this Lease and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Landlord’s rights or remedies thereupon or to be a release of Tenant from Tenant’s obligations thereon unless such waiver or release is expressed in writing and signed by Landlord.

     (viii) In the event of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of its rights and remedies hereunder, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption, if any, granted by or under any present or future laws.

20

     (c) Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to. processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within ten (10) days after such amount shall be due, whether or not Landlord has notified Tenant that the Rent payment is past due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. Landlord shall give Tenant notice of non-payment and five (5) days from such notice to cure any such non payment twice in any twelve (12) month period before assessing any late fees and/or default interest.

     (d) Payment or Performance by Landlord. Landlord may, at Landlord’s option and without any obligation to do so, pay any sum or do any act which Tenant has failed to pay or do at the time Tenant was obligated to make such payment or perform such act and Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, upon demand, all sums expended by Landlord in making such payment or performing such act, together with interest thereon at the rate provided in Section 17(e) from the date of expenditure until repaid by Tenant. Such sum and interest shall be deemed additional rent under this Lease.

     17. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Estoppel Certificate.

     (i) Tenant shall at any time upon not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice from Landlord execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to which the Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any person to whom it shall be delivered by Landlord including any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises, the Improvements, the Property, or any part thereof.

     (ii) Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance; and that not more than one month’s Rent has been paid in advance.

21

     (iii) If Landlord desires to finance or refinance the Premises, the Improvements, the Property, or any part thereof, Tenant hereby agrees to deliver to any lender designated by Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may be reasonably required by such lender. Such statements shall include the past three year’s financial statements of Tenant. All such financial statements shall be received by Landlord in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth.

     (b) Landlord’s Liability. The term “Landlord” as used herein shall mean only the owner or owners at the time in question of the fee title (or the Tenant’s interest in any ground or master lease) to the Premises and in the event of any transfer of such title, Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers, the then grantor) shall be relieved from and after the date of such transfer of all liability as respects Landlord’s obligations thereafter to be performed, provided that any funds in the hands of Landlord or the then grantor at the time of such transfer in which Tenant has an interest shall be delivered to the grantee. The obligations contained in this Lease to be performed by Landlord shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on Landlord’s successors and assigns only during their respective periods of ownership.

     (c) Landlord Default; Lenders Right to Cure. Tenant agrees to give the holder of any mortgage or trust deed encumbering the Premises, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default or nonperformance served upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice, Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of Assignment of Rents and Leases or otherwise) of the address of such mortgagee or trust deed holder. Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless (i) Tenant has given a written notice to Landlord stating that Landlord has failed to perform Landlord’s obligations under this Lease and (ii) specifying with particularity the obligations which Landlord has failed to perform, and Landlord thereafter fails to perform any of its obligations so specified within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s notice; provided that if such performance cannot be reasonably completed within thirty (30) days. Landlord shall have a reasonable period of time to perform so long as Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecutes performance. If Landlord shall fail to cure such nonperformance in a timely manner, then such mortgagee or trust deed holder shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure the default, or, if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if within such thirty (30) days such mortgagee or trust deed holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated by Tenant while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.

The invalidity of any provisions of this Lease as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision hereof. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the state in which the Premises are located.

22

     (e) Interest on Past-Due Obligations. Except as expressly herein provided, any amount due to Landlord not paid when due shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law, from the date due until the date such amount is paid. Payment of such interest shall be made when such amount is paid. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.

     (f) Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease and all of the covenants and obligations hereof.

     (g) Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Lease.

     (h) Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Amendments. This Lease contains all agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be effective. This Lease may be modified in writing only, which writing shall be signed by the parties in interest at the time of the modification.

The address to which any such communications shall be sent may be changed by either party hereto from time to time by a notice mailed as aforesaid.

     (j) Waivers. No waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or any other provision. Landlord’s consent to or approval of any act shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. The acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.

     (k) Recording. Tenant shall not record this Lease without Landlord’s prior written consent and such recordation shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a noncurable default of Tenant hereunder.

     (l) Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease with the express written consent of Landlord and without executing a new lease, such occupancy shall be construed as a tenancy from month-to-month at a rental equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the last monthly Base Rent plus all other charges payable hereunder, and upon all the

23

terms hereof insofar as the same are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy. Nothing contained in this Section 17(l) shall be construed to grant Tenant the right to holdover without the express written consent of Landlord.

     (m) Covenants and Conditions. Each provision of this Lease performable by Tenant shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.

     (n) Binding Effect. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting assignment or subletting by Tenant and subject to the provision of Section 17(b) above, this Lease shall bind the parties and their personal representatives, successors and assigns.

     (o) Subordination and Attornment.

     (i) This Lease, at Landlord’s option, shall be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, the Improvements or the Property, or any part or parts thereof, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. If any present or future mortgagee, trustee or ground Landlord shall at any time elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and written notice of such election shall be given to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease or the date of recording thereof.

     (ii) Tenant agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate such subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be, and failing to do so within ten (10) days after written demand, does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Landlord as Tenant’s attorney in fact and in Tenant’s name, place and stead, to do so.

     (iii) If Tenant is required to subordinate its interests under the Lease, Tenant’s obligation to subordinate its interests is conditioned upon any such lienholder or prospective lienholder providing Tenant with a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement which, in substance, agrees that so long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease, its tenancy for the use and purposes herein described and all rights granted to Tenant hereunder will not be disturbed and will remain in full force and effect throughout the Term.

     (iv) Tenant shall, in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by the Landlord, its successors or assigns, encumbering the Premises, or any part thereof, or in the event of termination of the ground lease, if any, and if so requested, attorn to the purchaser upon such foreclosure or sale or upon any grant of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and shall recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease.

     (p) Attorneys’ Fees. If either party brings an action to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights under this Lease, the prevailing party in the final adjudication of any such action,

24

on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to its costs and expenses of suit, including, without limitation, its actual attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the losing party as fixed by the court, but not by a jury. In any situation in which a dispute is settled other than by action or proceeding, Tenant shall pay all Landlord’s costs and attorneys’ fees relating thereto.

     (q) Landlord’s Access. Landlord and Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice (which notice may be by telephone) for the purpose of inspecting the same, showing the same to prospective purchasers or lenders, conducting any environmental investigations or environmental remedial work and making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or the improvements as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable. Landlord shall not be required to provide advance notice in the case of emergency. Landlord may at any time place on or about the Premises any ordinary “For Sale” signs and Landlord may at any time during the last one hundred twenty (120) days of the Term place on or about the Premises any ordinary “For Lease” signs, all without rebate of rent or liability to Tenant.

     (r) Auctions. Tenant shall not conduct any auction on the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent.

     (s) Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subtenancies or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subtenancies. During any period while Tenant is in default under this Lease, Landlord, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have under this Lease, shall have the right to collect directly from any subtenant all rentals owing to Tenant under any subtenancy and to apply such rentals to any amounts owing to Landlord by Tenant and the payment of such amounts by the subtenant directly to Landlord shall not be a default under the subtenancy.

     (t) Joint and Several Liability. Each party signing this Lease as Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable for the failure on the part of Tenant to pay any sums due under the terms of this Lease or for the breach by Tenant or any of the covenants or obligations of Tenant contained herein.

     (u) Individual Liability. The obligations of Landlord under this Lease do not constitute personal obligations of the individual partners, members, directors, officers, or shareholders of Landlord, and Tenant shall look solely to the real estate that is the subject of this Lease and to no other assets of Landlord for satisfaction of any liability in respect of this Lease and will not seek recourse against the individual partners, directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord or any of their personal assets for such satisfaction.

Additionally, the Environmental Assessment shall take into full consideration the past and present uses of the Premises and other factors unique to the Premises. If Landlord obtains the Environmental Assessment because of the activities of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the cost of the Environmental Assessment, with interest thereon, as additional rent.

EXHIBIT B

OPERATING COSTS

     1. Tenant’s Obligation. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in accordance with the further provisions of this Exhibit B, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined).

     (a) Tenant’s “Proportionate Share” shall mean a percentage based on Landlord’s reasonable and good faith determination of Tenant’s relative use of the Project and Project Common Areas. For so long as Tenant leases both the Carver Premises and Hardy Premises, Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be one hundred percent (100%).

     (b) If Tenant exercises its termination rights under Section 3 of the Lease, Landlord shall submit its determination of Tenant’s Proportionate Share based on the intended future occupancy and use of the Carver Premises within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s Termination Notice.

     (c) Tenant shall deliver notice of its acceptance or rejection of Landlord’s determination of Tenant’s Proportionate Share within ten (10) days of Landlord’s notice. If Tenant delivers notice of acceptance or fails to deliver notice of rejection to Landlord, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s determination.

     (d) If Tenant delivers notice of rejection to Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall have twenty (20) days to negotiate Tenant’s Proportionate Share. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree, Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be determined by Landlord’s third party property manager for the Project, if any. If there is no Project property manager, Landlord shall retain a third party property manager to determine Tenant’s Proportionate Share. Landlord and Tenant agree that any property management firm listed in the property management table of “Ranking Arizona: The Best of Arizona Business” published by Arizona Business magazine shall be acceptable. Determination by a property manager shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall share the costs of determination by a property manager equally.

     (e) If Tenant’s Proportionate Share is not determined prior to the Carver Expiration Date, Landlord’s determination of Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be used until the property manager makes its determination. Any excess amounts paid by Tenant as a result of Landlord’s determination shall be refunded to Tenant or, at Landlord’s option, may be applied to any amounts then payable by Tenant to Landlord or to the next maturing monthly installment of Rent. Any deficiency resulting from Landlord’s determination shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord’s reconciliation statement indicating the amount of such deficiency together with calculations based on property manager’s determination of Tenant’s Proportionate Share.

     2. Estimate and Reconciliation.

     (a) From time to time, Landlord shall furnish Tenant an estimate of the Operating Costs on a per annum basis. Commencing with the first month to which an estimate applies,

1

Tenant shall pay, in addition to the Base Rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) such estimate multiplied by Tenant’s Proportionate Share; provided, however, if less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Project shall be occupied by tenants during the period covered by such estimate, the estimated Operating Costs for such period shall be increased to an amount reasonably determined by Landlord to be equivalent to the Operating Costs that would be incurred if occupancy would be at least ninety-five percent (95%) during the entire period.

     (b) Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of each calendar year in the Term for which Tenant has paid its Proportionate Share of Operating Costs, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the actual Operating Costs for such year. If the actual Operating Costs for such year are more or less than the estimated Operating Costs, a proper adjustment shall be made; provided, however, if less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the Building shall have been occupied by tenants at any time during such period, the actual Operating Costs for such period shall be increased to an amount reasonably determined by Landlord to be equivalent to the Operating Costs that would have been incurred had such occupancy been at least ninety-five percent (95%) during the entire period.

     (c) Any excess amounts paid by Tenant shall be refunded to Tenant with such statement or, at Landlord’s option, may be applied to any amounts then payable by Tenant to Landlord or to the next maturing monthly installment of Rent. Any deficiency between the estimated and actual Operating Costs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord’s reconciliation statement. Any amount, owing for a fractional year shall be prorated.

     3. Operating Costs — Defined. For the purposes of this Lease, “Operating Costs’’ shall mean all costs and expenses accrued, paid or incurred by Landlord, or on Landlord’s behalf, in respect of the use, management, repair, service, insurance, condition, operation and maintenance of the Project. Excluded from Operating Costs shall be the following:

     (a) interest on and amortization of debts secured by the Project:

     (b) leasehold improvements, including redecorating made for tenants of the Building;

     (c) brokerage commissions, advertising expenses and legal fees for procuring tenants for the Project

     (d) the cost of any item included in Operating Costs to the extent that such cost is reimbursed or paid directly by an insurance company, condemnor, a tenant of the Project or any other party;

     (e) any interest or penalties due to late payment by Landlord of any of the Operating Costs, except to the extent such interest on penalty is caused by Tenant’s failure to comply with any of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease;

     (f) expenses for any item or service not provided to Tenant but provided exclusively to certain other tenants in the Project;

2

     (g) fees paid to affiliates of Landlord in excess of the fair market value of such services provided in exchange therefore;

     (h) marketing or advertising costs;

     (i) Landlord’s financing or refinancing costs;

     4. Inspection Rights. Tenant, at its expense, shall have the right upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord (an “Audit Notice”) to be given only within ninety (90) days after Tenant receives the annual statement of Operating Costs to audit Landlord’s books and records relating to such statement for such immediately preceding year with respect to any specific charge or charges disputed in writing by Tenant, subject to the further terms and provisions of this Exhibit B: (a) no audit shall be conducted at any time that Tenant is in breach or default of any of the terms, covenants or provisions of this Lease; (b) any audit shall be conducted only by independent certified public accountants practicing for an accounting firm of national or regional prominence, employed by Tenant on an hourly or fixed fee basis, and not on a contingency fee basis, or by consultants employed by Tenant on an hourly or fixed fee basis, and not on a contingency fee basis, or by Tenant’s employees; and (c) Tenant shall not audit Landlord’s books and records more than one (1) time for any year. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s right to inspect Landlord’s books and records with respect to Operating Costs for the preceding year is for the exclusive purpose of determining whether Landlord has complied with the terms of this Lease with respect to Operating Costs. Tenant shall have ninety (90) days after Landlord makes available Landlord’s books and records concerning Operating Costs to complete Tenant’s inspection at a location designated by Landlord in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Tenant shall not remove such records, but Tenant shall have the right to make copies of the relevant documents at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the results of such audit within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Tenant. If Tenant elects to audit such books and records, Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant, and any deficiency or overpayment disclosed by such audit, upon confirmation thereof, shall be promptly paid by or credited to Tenant for application against future payments of Operating Costs, as the case may be; provided, however, that if any refund remains unpaid as of the expiration of the Lease Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, pay such refund to Tenant or credit such refund against any amounts owed to Landlord by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease. The nature and content of any audit are strictly confidential. Tenant shall not disclose the information obtained from the audit to any other person or entity including, without limitation, any other tenant in the Project or any representative of any such tenant in the Project. In the event Tenant’s audit shall disclose that Landlord has overstated Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs by five percent (5%) or more during any one (1) year, then Landlord shall pay for the reasonable costs of the audit, not to exceed, however, Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,000.00).
