ARTICLE VIII ADJUSTMENTS Unless otherwise provided below, the following are to be adjusted and prorated between the Seller and the Buyer as of 11:59 P.M. on the day preceding the Closing, based upon a 365 day year, and the net amount thereof shall be added to (if such net amount is in the Seller's favor) or deducted from (if such net amount is in the Buyer's favor) the Purchase Price payable at Closing: SECTION 8.1. Fixed Rents and Additional Rents (a) Fixed rents (collectively, "Fixed Rents") and Additional Rents (as hereinafter defined; Fixed Rents and Additional Rents being together referred to herein as "Rents") paid or payable by tenants under the Space Leases in connection with their occupancy of the Property shall be adjusted and prorated on an if, as and when collected basis; provided, however, any Rents paid by Turnstone under the Turnstone Lease, including, but not limited to, any amounts paid under that certain First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated as of April 7, 2003 between Turnstone and BRE I and any adjustments of Additional Rent attributable to the period prior to Closing, shall belong solely to the Seller other than amounts paid by Turnstone as Additional Rent and holdover rent after May 1, 2003. Attached hereto as Schedule 8.1(a) is a true and complete list as of the date of this Agreement, of (i) Additional Rent which has been billed by the Seller to Tenants and remains unpaid; (ii) estimates of adjustments to Additional Rent that will become due under the Space Leases as a result of underbillings to Tenants or for items that have not yet been billed. Any Rents collected by the Buyer or the Seller after the Closing from any tenant who owes Rents for periods prior to the Closing, shall be applied (i) first, in payment of Rents owed by such tenant for the month in which the Closing occurs, (ii) second, in payment of Rents owed by such tenant, if any, for the two months immediately prior to the month in which the Closing Date occurs, (iii) third, in payment of Rents due and owed by such tenant, if any, after the month in which the Closing Date occurs, and (iv) fourth, in payment of any remaining Rents owed by such tenant for any periods prior to the month in which the Closing occurs. Each such amount, less any costs of collection (including reasonable counsel fees) reasonably allocable thereto, shall be adjusted and prorated as provided above, and the party who receives such amount shall promptly pay over to the other party the portion thereof to which it is so entitled. For the purposes of this provision, the term "Additional Rent" shall mean amounts payable under any Space Lease for (i) the payment of additional rent based upon a percentage of the tenant's business during a specified annual or other period (sometimes referred to as "percentage rent"), (ii) so-called common area maintenance or "CAM" charges, and (iii) so-called "escalation rent" or additional rent based upon a tenant's share of real estate taxes or operating expenses or labor costs or cost of living or porter's wages or otherwise. Schedule 8.1(a) sets forth any Additional Rent in respect of an accounting period that shall have expired prior to the Closing but which is payable after the Closing, which Additional Rent shall be paid by the Buyer over to Seller upon Buyer's receipt thereof. (b) The Seller shall bill tenants who owe Rents for periods prior to the Closing as described on Schedule 8.1(a), the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to collect such Rents, but shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect such amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Buyer shall be unable to collect such Rents, the Seller shall have the right to pursue tenants to collect such delinquencies (including, without limitation, the prosecution of one or more lawsuits), but the Seller shall not be entitled to evict (by summary proceedings or otherwise) any such tenants. (c) If, prior to the Closing, the Seller shall have received any installments of Rent attributable to Rent for periods from and after the Closing, such sum shall be apportioned at the Closing, provided, however, any installment of Rent paid by Turnstone prior to Closing under the Turnstone Lease shall belong solely to the Seller. (d) To the extent that any portion of Additional Rent is required to be paid monthly by tenants on account of estimated amounts for any calendar year (or, if applicable, any lease year or tax year or any other applicable accounting period), and at the end of such calendar year (or lease year, tax year or other applicable accounting period, as the case may be), such estimated amounts are to be recalculated based upon the actual expenses, taxes and other relevant factors for that calendar (lease or tax) year or other applicable accounting period, with the appropriate adjustments being made with such tenants, then such portion of the Additional Rent shall be prorated between the Seller and the Buyer at the Closing based on such estimated payments actually paid by tenants (i.e., with the Seller entitled to retain all monthly or other periodic installments of such amounts paid by tenants with respect to 11 periods prior to the calendar month or other applicable installment period in which the Closing occurs (on a pro-rata basis for any partial months), the Seller to pay to the Buyer at the Closing all monthly or other periodic installments of such amounts theretofore received by the Seller with respect to periods following the calendar month or other applicable installment period in which the Closing occurs and the Seller and the Buyer to apportion as of the Closing all monthly or other periodic installments of such amounts paid by tenants with respect to the calendar month or other applicable installment period in which the Closing occurs). At the time(s) of final calculation and collection from (or refund to) each tenant of the amounts in reconciliation of actual Additional Rent for a period for which estimated amounts paid by such tenant have been prorated, there shall be a re-proration between the Seller and the Buyer. If, with respect to any tenant, the recalculated Additional Rent exceeds the estimated amount paid by such tenant, upon collection from the tenant, such excess shall be apportioned between the Seller and the Buyer as of the Closing in accordance with paragraph (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 8.1. If, with respect to any tenant, the recalculated Additional Rent is less than the estimated amount paid by such tenant, such shortfall shall be apportioned between the Seller and the Buyer as of the Closing, with the Seller paying to the Buyer the portion of such shortfall so allocable to the Seller. (e) Until such time as all amounts required to be paid to the Seller by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall have been paid in full, the Buyer shall furnish to the Seller, upon the Seller's request, a reporting of Rents which have been collected by the Buyer after the Closing with respect to Space Leases with delinquent Rents as of the Closing. The Seller shall also have the right from time to time for a period of six months following the Closing, upon reasonable prior notice to Buyer and during ordinary business hours, to review the Buyer's rental records with respect to such Space Leases. Buyer's obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to collect such past due Rents will expire 180 days following the Closing. SECTION 8.2. Taxes and Assessments. Real estate (ad valorem) and personal property taxes and assessments assessed with respect to the Property shall be adjusted and prorated based on (a) the periods of ownership by the Seller and the Buyer during such year and (b) the most current official real property tax information available from the county assessor's office where the Property is located or other assessing authorities. If real property tax and assessment figures for the taxes or assessments to be apportioned between the Buyer and the Seller pursuant to this Section are not available, real property taxes shall be prorated based on the most recent assessment, subject to further and final adjustment when the tax rate and/or assessed valuation for such taxes and assessments for the Property is fixed. In the event that the Property or any part thereof shall be or shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments, whether or not the same become payable in annual installments, the Seller shall, at the Closing, be responsible for any installments due prior to the Closing and the Buyer shall be responsible for any installments due on or after the Closing. SECTION 8.3. Water and Sewer Charges. Water rates, water meter charges, sewer rents and vault charges, if any (other than any such charges, rates or rents which are payable by tenants of the Property pursuant to such tenants' Space Leases, for which no adjustment shall be made), shall be adjusted and prorated on the basis of the fiscal period for which assessed. If there be a water meter, or meters, on the Property, the Seller agrees that they shall at the Closing furnish a reading of same to a date not more than 30 days prior to the Closing and the unfixed meter charges and the unfixed sewer rent thereon for the time intervening from the date of the last reading shall be apportioned on the basis of such last reading, and shall be appropriately readjusted after the Closing on the basis of the next subsequent bills. Unmetered water charges shall be apportioned on the basis of the charges therefor for the same period of the preceding calendar year, but applying the current rate thereto. SECTION 8.4. Utility Charges. Gas, steam, electricity and other public utility charges (other than any such charges which are payable by tenants of the Property pursuant to such tenants' Space Leases, for which no adjustment will be made) will be paid by the Seller to the utility company to the Closing Date. The Seller shall arrange for a final reading of all utility meters (covering gas, water, steam and electricity) as of the Closing, except meters the charges of which are payable by tenants of the Property pursuant to such tenants' Space Leases. The Seller and the Buyer shall jointly execute a letter to each of such utility companies advising such utility companies of the termination of the Seller's responsibility for such charges for utilities furnished to the Property as of the date of the Closing and commencement of the Buyer's responsibilities therefor from and after such date. If a bill is obtained from any such utility company as of the Closing, the Seller shall pay such bill on or before the Closing. If such bill shall not have been obtained on or before the Closing, the Seller shall, upon receipt of such bill, pay all such utility charges as evidenced by such bill or bills pertaining to the period prior to the Closing, and the Buyer shall pay all such utility charges pertaining to the period thereafter. Any bill which shall be rendered which shall cover a period both before and after the date of Closing shall be apportioned between the Buyer and the Seller as of the Closing. SECTION 8.5. Contracts. Charges and payments under all Contracts. SECTION 8.6. Miscellaneous Revenues. Revenues, if any, arising out of telephone booths, vending machines, parking, or other income-producing agreements.

Any such security deposits in form 12 other than cash (including letters of credit) shall be transferred to the Buyer by way of appropriate instruments of transfer or assignment as soon as practicable following the Closing. SECTION 8.8. Other. If applicable, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted at Closing to reflect the adjustment of any other item which, under the terms of this Agreement, is to be apportioned at Closing. SECTION 8.9. Re-Adjustment. If any items to be adjusted pursuant to this Article VIII are not determinable at the Closing, the adjustment shall be made subsequent to the Closing when the charge is determined. Any errors or omissions in computing adjustments or readjustments at the Closing or thereafter shall be promptly corrected or made, provided that the party seeking to correct such error or omission or to make such readjustment shall have notified the other party of such error or omission or readjustment on or prior to the date that is one year following the Closing.

RULES AND REGULATIONS Rules and Regulations. If Tenant shall use or occupy all or a portion of the Premises, Tenant shall observe and comply, and shall cause its subtenants, assignees, invitees, guests, employees, contractors and agents to observe and comply strictly with the rules and regulations as Landlord may make for the Building from time to time, as in Landlord's reasonable judgment may be necessary, appropriate or desirable for the safety, maintenance, operation and care of the Building and the Common Areas. Landlord shall not be liable for failure of any person to obey such rules and regulations. Landlord shall not be obligated to enforce such rules and regulations against any person, and the failure of Landlord to enforce any such rules and regulations shall not constitute a waiver thereof or relieve Tenant from compliance therewith. Any violation of such rules and regulations by, or Landlord's failure to enforce the same against, any other tenant, its subtenants, assignors and occupants and their respective agents, employees, invitees, guests or licensees shall not be deemed, constitute or construed to (i) be a disturbance of Tenant's quiet and peaceable possession of the Premises or of any of Tenant's rights under this Lease, or (ii) be an eviction, in whole or in part, constructive or actual, of Tenant or affect Tenant's covenants or obligations hereunder. In the event of a conflict between such rules and regulations and the terms of this Lease, the terms of this Lease, in all incidents, shall control, govern and prevail. UTILITIES Utilities.

Excessive Use of Building Systems. If Tenant shall use or occupy the Premises for any purpose other than as permitted under Section 1.8 of this Lease, then Tenant's manner of use or occupancy of the Premises shall not in any manner (i) cause the design loads for the Building or the systems providing exhaust, heating, cooling, ventilation, electrical, life safety, water, sewer or other utility or safety services to the Building to be exceeded or (ii) adversely affect the Building or the operation of said systems in the Premises or the Building or cause deterioration or damage to the Building or to such systems. If Tenant's manner of use or occupancy of the Premises is not in accordance with paragraph 1.8 of this Lease, or in Landlord's reasonable judgment, causes the design loads for the Building or the systems providing exhaust, heating, cooling, ventilation, electrical, life safety, water, sewer or other utility or safety services to the Building to be exceeded or will adversely affect the Building or the operation of said systems in the Premises or the Building or cause deterioration or damages to the Building or to such systems, then Landlord shall deliver written notice thereof to Tenant, and Tenant shall temper such excess loads and correct, repair and restore the portion of the Building so affected and such systems in a timely and expeditious manner by installing supplementary structural support, exhaust, heating, cooling, ventilation, electrical, life safety, water, sewer or other utility or safety systems in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building where necessary at the sole cost of Tenant. In the event of an emergency, Landlord may, but it shall not be required to, without notice to Tenant, correct, repair and restore the portion of the Building so affected. Any expense to Landlord resulting from the operation, repair, maintenance, replacement and removal of any such supplementary structural support, exhaust, heating, cooling, ventilation, electrical, life safety, water, sewer or other utility or safety systems, including rent for space occupied by any such supplementary structural support, exhaust, heating, cooling, ventilation, electrical, life safety, water, sewer or other utility or safety systems installed outside the Premises shall be borne exclusively by Tenant and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent promptly upon demand. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Tenant to Maintain. If, and only if, Tenant shall use or occupy all or a portion of the Premises, Tenant agrees that it will, at its sole cost and expense, keep and maintain such used or occupied portion of the Premises (except the parts that Landlord expressly agrees to maintain, as herein provided, if any) in substantially the same condition as when delivered to Tenant, and shall make all repairs to the Premises and such portion thereof as needed to satisfy the foregoing obligation. Only to the extent required by the preceding sentence, Tenant's obligations under this paragraph shall include (without limitation) repairing and maintaining: items as are required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction (whether the same is ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen) as a result of Tenant's particular manner of use of the Premises; interior walls, and the interior portions of exterior walls; ceilings; floors; utility meters; and pipes and conduits solely within the Premises and serving the Premises only, and those pipes and conduits outside the Premises which are installed by Tenant, or at Tenant's expense, if any. Tenant's obligations hereunder in the event Tenant occupies all or a portion of the Premises, shall also include (without limitation) maintaining, to the extent required by the first sentence of this paragraph, all heating, ventilating, air conditioning, sprinkler, and all other equipment and fixtures located solely within the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall make no alteration or adjustment to/of the sprinkler or alarm systems without Landlord`s prior written consent. If, and only if, Tenant shall use or occupy the Premises, Tenant shall permit no waste, damage or injury to the Premises and shall keep the same in substantially the same condition as existed on the Commencement Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not be required to make the repairs required under this paragraph if such repairs are occasioned by any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, officers, directors, partners, affiliates, shareholders, agents, contractors, customers, invitees, assignees, subtenants or licensees, any such repairs to be the obligation of Landlord. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed to limit Landlord's maintenance and repair obligations and Landlord's obligations to comply with laws as set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall have no obligation for any maintenance or repairs to the Premises if Tenant does not use or occupy the Premises. Landlord's Repairs. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 8.1 and provided that Tenant is using or occupying all or a portion of the Premises (and then only to the extent necessary to permit Tenant to continue to use or occupy the Premises in substantially the same manner), Landlord shall keep in substantially the same condition as existed as of the date that the Premises were delivered to Tenant the Premises, including, without limitation, the roof, the public areas of the Premises, exterior walls, foundation, and structural portions of the Building; the Common Areas; provided, however, that if any damages or repairs to such areas or systems are occasioned by any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its employees, officers, directors, partners, affiliates, shareholders, agents, contractors, customers, invitees, assignees, subtenants or licensees, Tenant shall bear the cost of such repairs. Landlord shall never be liable for any failure to make repairs which Landlord has undertaken to make under this paragraph, or elsewhere in the Lease, unless Tenant has given notice to Landlord of the need to make such repairs, and Landlord has failed to commence to make such repairs within five (5) days after receipt of such notice for repairs that are essential to Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, or within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice for repairs that are nonessential (or if such repairs are not capable of being cured within such thirty (30) day period, if Landlord fails to commence such repairs within such 30-day period), or fails to proceed with reasonable diligence to complete such repairs, and then Tenant's sole damages shall be the cost of making such repairs if made by Tenant. ALTERATIONS Tenant's Alterations. Tenant's Alterations - No Approval. If Tenant uses or occupies all or a portion of the Premises, Tenant may place and replace its trade fixtures, furniture, floor coverings, equipment and other tangible personal property (collectively, "Tenant's Personal Property") in the Premises and may make alterations, improvements, replacements and other changes (any of the foregoing, an "Alteration") to the Premises, including the Premises Service Systems (as hereinafter defined) provided that (a) the cost of all such Alterations do not exceed $20,000.00 in the aggregate, and (b) such Alterations do not impair the structural integrity of the Building or the operating efficiency thereof. Tenant shall perform all such Alterations in a good and workmanlike manner. As used herein, "Premises Service Systems" shall mean the electrical, HVAC, mechanical, plumbing, safety and health and telecommunications (voice data signal) systems that directly service the Premises from a localized point of distribution. Such systems are dedicated to the Premises at their available capacities and do not service any space other than the Premises. Tenant's Alterations - Landlord Approval. Tenant may make all other Alterations if Landlord consents thereto, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion. In the absence of such consent from Landlord, Tenant shall not make any such Alterations. Tenant's Property. All of Tenant's Personal Property and all non-structural Alterations made during the Term (collectively, "Tenant's Owned Property") shall be owned by and remain the property of Tenant notwithstanding Landlord's obligations to insure any part of the same under paragraph 10.3. Tenant's Removal. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall remove, or cause to be removed, any Alterations to the Premises and otherwise leave and surrender the Premises in accordance with paragraph 19.1 of this Lease. INSURANCE Insurance to be Maintained by Tenant. If, and only if, Tenant shall use or occupy the Premises, Tenant will maintain throughout the duration of this Lease, at its sole cost and expense such insurance as is reasonable and customary for tenants of premises similar to the Premises and located in Santa Clara, California. Landlord and any parties designated by Landlord from time to time shall all be named as additional insureds in each policy of such insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during any period in which the Premises are not used or occupied by Tenant, Tenant shall have no obligation to maintain any insurance and Landlord shall maintain comprehensive general liability insurance on the Premises in amounts reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant shall provide the Landlord with prior written notice in the event Tenant occupies the Premises. Evidence of Insurance. Provided Tenant is obligated to maintain insurance as required by paragraph 10.1 hereof, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, upon Landlord's request, certificates of the insurers evidencing the insurance which is required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, together with evidence of the payment of all current premiums due therefor. Further, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such insurance, upon request of Landlord, deliver replacement or renewal certificates of the insurers evidencing the renewal or replacement of such insurance, together with evidence of the payment of all premiums therefor. Should Tenant fail to maintain or renew the insurance provided for in this Article X, or to pay the premium therefor, or to deliver to Landlord any of such certificates, then and in any of such events Landlord, at its option, but without obligation so to do, may procure such insurance. Any sums expended by Landlord to procure such insurance shall be repaid by Tenant on the first day of the next month following the date on which such expenditure is made by Landlord. Landlord's Insurance. Landlord shall maintain casualty insurance with respect to the Premises in the amount in place of the date hereof. Insurance Companies. The insurance referred to in this Article X shall be issued by companies of recognized financial standing authorized to issue such insurance in the State of California. Every policy which Tenant is obligated to carry under the terms of this Article X shall contain an agreement by the insurer that it will not cancel or amend such policy except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree to have all fire and extended coverage and other property damage insurance which may be carried by either of them endorsed with a clause providing that any release from liability of, or waiver of claim for, recovery from the other party entered into in writing by the insured thereunder prior to any loss or damage shall not affect the validity of said policy or the right of the insured to recover thereunder, and providing further that the insurer waives all rights of subrogation which such insurer might have against the other party. Without limiting any release or waiver of liability or recovery set forth elsewhere in this Lease, and notwithstanding anything in this Lease which may appear to be to the contrary, each of the parties hereto waives all claims for recovery from the other party for any loss or damage to any of its property insured under valid and collectible insurance policies to the extent of any recovery collectible under such insurance policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, any release or any waiver of claims shall not be operative, nor shall the foregoing endorsements be required, in any case where the effect of such release or waiver is to invalidate insurance coverage or invalidate the right of the insured to recover thereunder or to increase the cost thereof (provided that in the case of increased cost the other party shall have the right, within ten (10) days following written notice, to pay such increased cost keeping such release or waiver in full force and effect). CASUALTY Options in Event of Casualty. Tenant Not Occupying the Premises. If Tenant is not using or occupying the Premises, and the Premises, or any part thereof, are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon notice to Tenant within three (3) days of such damage or destruction whereupon (i) the term of this Lease shall be deemed to have ended on the date of the damage or destruction, and (ii) Tenant shall have no further obligations under this Lease. Tenant Occupying the Premises. If Tenant is using or occupying the Premises, and the Premises, or any part thereof, are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon notice to Landlord within three (3) days of such damage or destruction whereupon (i) the term of this Lease shall be deemed to have ended on the date of the damage or destruction, and (ii) Tenant shall have no further obligations under this Lease. Non-Abatement of Rent. Base Rent shall not abate during any period that the Premises are rendered and remain partially or totally untenantable by reason of fire or other casualty. Insurance Proceeds. If there is an excess of insurance funds available, the excess shall be paid to, and retained solely by, Landlord. WAIVER OF CERTAIN CLAIMS; INDEMNITIES Waiver of Certain Claims. To the extent not expressly prohibited by law, Tenant releases Landlord and its beneficiaries, if any, and their agents, servants and employees, from and waives all claims for damages to person or property sustained by Tenant or by any occupant of the Premises, or by any other person, resulting directly or indirectly from fire or other casualty (to the extent covered by insurance) or from any accident in or about the Premises or any part thereof unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's employees, officers, directors, partners, affiliates, shareholders, agents, contractors, customers, invitees or licensees. This paragraph 12.1 shall apply especially, but not exclusively, to damage caused by water, snow, frost, steam, excessive heat or cold, sewerage, gas, odors or noise, or the bursting or leaking of pipes or plumbing fixtures, broken glass, sprinkling or air conditioning devices or equipment, or flooding of basements, and, except as provided herein, shall apply without distinction as to the person whose act or neglect was responsible for the damage and, except as provided in the foregoing sentence, whether the damage was due to any of the acts specifically enumerated above or from any other thing or circumstance, whether of a like nature or of a wholly different nature. Tenant Responsible for Personal Property. All personal property belonging to Tenant or any occupant of the Premises that is in the Premises shall be there at the risk of Tenant or such other person only, and Landlord shall not be liable for damage thereto or theft or misappropriation thereof (unless Landlord or its agents is directly responsible therefor). Tenant's Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, if, and only if, Tenant shall use or occupy the Premises, Tenant agrees to pay and to protect, and does herewith indemnify and save harmless, Landlord, and all beneficiaries, employees, officers, directors, partners, affiliates, shareholders, agents, contractors, customers, invitees or licensees of Landlord and Landlord's agent, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including all reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of Landlord), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any nature accruing by reason of: (a) the negligence, improper conduct, breach of this Lease (other than with respect to the payment of Base Rent) or negligent omissions of Tenant or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, but only to the extent not covered by insurance; (b) the conduct or management of, or from any work or things whatsoever done in or about, the Premises by Tenant or its employees, officers, directors, partners, affiliates, shareholders, agents, contractors, customers, invitees, assignees, subtenants or licensees; or (c) violation by Tenant of any restriction, statute, law, ordinance or regulation, in each case affecting the Premises with respect to Tenant's particular use of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Lease shall serve to relieve the Landlord of any liability, or require Tenant to indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord, for any matters that arise out of Landlord's negligent conduct. For purposes of this paragraph 12.3 and anywhere else in this Lease, if Tenant is constructing any improvements to the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to be using or occupying the Premises. Landlord's Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord agrees to pay and to protect, and does herewith indemnify and save harmless, Tenant, and all beneficiaries, employees, officers, directors, partners, affiliates, shareholders, agents, contractors, customers, invitees or licensees of Tenant, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including all reasonable attorneys fees and expenses of Tenant), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any nature accruing by reason of: (a) the negligence, improper conduct, breach of this Lease or negligent omissions of Landlord or any person claiming by, through or under Landlord, but only to the extent not covered by insurance; or (b) the conduct or management of, or from any work or things whatsoever done in or about, the Premises by Landlord or its employees, officers, directors, partners, affiliates, shareholders, agents, contractors, customers, invitees, assignees, subtenants or licensees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Lease shall serve to relieve the Tenant of any liability, or require Landlord to indemnify and hold harmless Tenant, for any matters which arise out of Tenant's negligent conduct. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING Tenant's Assignment/Subletting. The Tenant shall not assign or sublet all or any portion of the Premises without the prior written consent of the Landlord. LANDLORD TERMINATION RIGHT Landlord Termination Right. Landlord may terminate this Lease at any time upon delivery of written notice to Tenant (the "Termination Notice"), whereupon the Tenant shall be automatically released from all obligations under this Lease arising from and after the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of paragraph 14.1(a), in the event of a termination of this Lease under this paragraph 14.1 in connection with Landlord's concurrent lease of all or any portion of the Premises to a person or entity unaffiliated with Landlord ("Unaffiliated Party"), Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount (the "Brokerage Contribution") equal to the pro rata share (calculated based on the number of months remaining in the Lease Term divided by the number of months in the lease) of any leasing commissions arising out of such lease and payable to any Unaffiliated Party that is allocable to the otherwise remaining term of this Lease; provided, the Brokerage Contribution shall not exceed the difference between (x) $2,000,000 and (y) the aggregate amount of Base Rent paid or payable by Tenant through the date of such termination. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND CONTRACTS Compliance with Law and Contracts. If, and only if, Tenant occupies or uses the Premises, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all governmental statutes, laws, rules, orders, regulations and ordinances affecting the Premises, or any part thereof, relating to Tenant's particular manner of use thereof, including those which require the making of any unforeseen or extraordinary changes, whether or not any of the same which may hereafter be enacted involve a change of policy on the part of the governmental body enacting the same. Further, if, and only if, Tenant occupies or uses the Premises, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with the requirements of all policies of insurance which at any time may be in force with respect to the Premises, and with the provisions of all contracts entered into by Tenant, and all agreements and restrictions affecting the Premises, or any part thereof. If Landlord receives a notice of violation from any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, and Tenant is using or occupying the Premises or otherwise may incur liability to such government authority as a result of such violation, Landlord shall, at Landlord's option, either (i) cure the violation disclosed in any such notice to the extent required by applicable law, or (ii) challenge or contest the same (provided that if such challenge or contest is unsuccessful, as determined by a final non-appealable judicial or administrative order, then Landlord shall cure such violation to the extent required by applicable law). SUBORDINATION/SUPERIORITY Subordination or Superiority. The rights and interests of Tenant under this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage, trust deed or other instrument granting a security interest in the Premises, or other paramount encumbrance that may hereafter be placed upon the Premises, or any part thereof (in this paragraph 16 only, collectively "Mortgage"), and any and all advances to be made under any mortgages, or the interests under any Mortgage, and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof; unless the mortgagee, trustee or secured party named in any Mortgage expressly subjects and subordinates its rights and interest to those of Tenant under this Lease. Any such mortgagee may elect to give the rights and interests of Tenant under this Lease priority over the lien of its Mortgage. In the event of such election, and upon notification by such mortgagee, trustee or secured party to Tenant to that effect, the rights and interest of Tenant under this Lease shall be superior to the lien of said Mortgage, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said Mortgage. Liability of Holder of Mortgage; Attornment. It is further agreed that (a) if any Mortgage shall be foreclosed, (i) the holder of the Mortgage, or purchaser at any foreclosure sale (or grantee in a deed in lieu of foreclosure), as the case may be, shall not be (x) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord), or (y) subject to any offsets or counterclaims which Tenant may have against a prior landlord (including Landlord); (ii) the liability of the mortgagee or trustee hereunder or the purchaser at such foreclosure sale or the liability of an owner designated as Landlord under this Lease shall exist only so long as such trustee, mortgagee, purchaser or owner is the owner of the Building, and such liability shall not continue or survive after further transfer of ownership; and (iii) upon request of the mortgagee or trustee, if the Mortgage shall be foreclosed, Tenant will attorn, as Tenant under this Lease, to the purchaser at any foreclosure sale under any Mortgage, and Tenant will execute such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment; and (b) this Lease may not be modified or amended so as to reduce the Base Rent or shorten the Term provided hereunder (except to the extent expressly provided herein) or so as to adversely affect in any other respect to any material extent the rights of Landlord, nor shall this Lease be canceled or surrendered, without the prior written consent, in each instance, of the mortgagee or trustee under any Mortgage. TENANT'S ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES Estoppel Certificate. Tenant will, at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) days of receipt of written request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing, executed by an officer of Tenant, certifying as to any matters relating to this Lease as reasonably requested by Landlord. CONDEMNATION Options in the Event of Condemnation. Tenant Not Occupying the Premises. If Tenant is not using or occupying the Premises, and all or any portion of the Premises shall be taken in or by condemnation or other eminent domain proceedings pursuant to any law, general or special, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon notice to Tenant within three (3) days of such taking whereupon (i) the term of this Lease shall be deemed to have ended on the date of the taking, and (ii) Tenant shall have no further obligations under this Lease. Tenant Occupying the Premises. If Tenant is using or occupying the Premises, and all or any portion of the Premises shall be taken in or by condemnation or other eminent domain proceedings pursuant to any law, general or special, Tenant shall have the right, to terminate this Lease upon notice to Landlord within three (3) days of such taking whereupon (i) the term of this Lease shall be deemed to have ended on the date of the taking, and (ii) Tenant shall have no further obligations under this Lease. SURRENDER Surrender. If Tenant shall have occupied or used all or a portion of the Premises during the Term, upon the expiration by lapse of time, or earlier termination, of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall peaceably leave and surrender the Premises to Landlord in substantially the same condition in which the Premises was originally received from Landlord on the Commencement Date, including the removal of any Alterations to the Premises pursuant to Article except as repaired, rebuilt or restored as required by any provision of this Lease, and except for ordinary wear and tear. Tenant shall, at its expense, on or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease, remove from the Premises all of Tenant's Owned Property situated thereon, and repair any damage caused by such removal. If Tenant does not remove Tenant's Owned Property as aforesaid, Landlord may cause such property to be removed from the Premises and disposed of, but the cost of any such removal and disposition, and the cost of repairing any damage caused by such removal and/or restoring or repairing the Premises shall be borne by Tenant. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant whatsoever by reason of its removing and disposing of Tenant's Owned Property remaining on the Premises after the expiration or termination of the term of this Lease. DEFAULT Events Constituting Default. Any one of the following occurrences or acts shall constitute an event of default ("Event of Default") under this Lease: If Tenant, at any time during the duration of this Lease (and regardless of the pendency of any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency or other proceedings in law, in equity or before any administrative tribunal, which have or might have the effect of preventing Tenant from complying with the terms of this Lease): fails to pay in full every installment of Base Rent or other sum due hereunder after having been provided with three (3) Business Days written notice that such sums have not been paid in full; or if Tenant fails to observe or perform any other covenant or obligation hereunder on or before the date required for performance, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice of such failure to Tenant. If Tenant files a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization, or for an arrangement pursuant to any present or future federal or state bankruptcy law, or under any similar federal or state law, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a petition or answer proposing the adjudication of Tenant as a bankrupt or its reorganization under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed in any court and such petition or answer is not discharged or denied within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof. If a receiver, trustee or liquidator of Tenant, or of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or of the Premises or any portion thereof, is appointed in any proceeding brought by or against Tenant, and is not discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment, or if Tenant consents to or acquiesces to such appointment. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises, and remove all of its personal property therefrom, on or before the expiration or earlier termination of Tenant's right to use or occupy the Premises hereunder. Liquidated Damages. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, provided that such Event of Default is uncured, Landlord may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, accelerate all unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums due from Tenant under this Lease through the Expiration Date (the "Accelerated Rent") and to demand (by giving written notice of its demand) and recover from Tenant, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages for such Event of Default, such Accelerated Rent. If Landlord so demands, Tenant shall pay such Accelerated Rent within ten (10) days of the notice of demand, and upon Landlord`s receipt of all sums due, this Lease shall terminate and neither Tenant nor Landlord shall thereafter have any liability to the other under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant expressly agree that if Landlord elects to, and does, make the demand for liquidated damages as provided herein, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages due Landlord, and that the amount of liquidated damages agreed in this paragraph is a reasonable estimate of Landlord's actual damages and not a penalty. If any statute or rule of law validly limits the amount of such liquidated final damages to less than the amount agreed upon above, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such statute or rule of law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, including without limitation, this paragraph 20.2, it is understood and agreed that the maximum amount that Landlord may recover and collect from Tenant in connection with this Lease, including all sums collected as Base Rent, shall be $2,000,000 and any and all amounts that may become due and payable pursuant to the indemnities of Tenant contained under paragraph 12.3 hereof. Waiver, Expenses, Etc. The failure of Landlord to insist at any time upon the strict performance of any covenant or agreement, or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained in this Lease, shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment thereof for the future. Further, the receipt by Landlord of any Base Rent or other additional amounts that may become due and payable hereunder with knowledge of the breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. Holdover. If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises or shall continue to use or occupy the Premises or any part thereof after the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Lease without any written agreement between Tenant and Landlord with respect thereto, in addition to any remedies Landlord shall have hereunder upon a default under the Lease, the Base Rent for the duration of such hold-over shall equal 200% of the Base Rent and any applicable Additional Rent payable as of the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Lease. MISCELLANEOUS Notices Demands and Other Instruments. All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other instruments required or permitted to be given pursuant to the terms of this Lease (in this paragraph only, "notice(s)") shall be in writing.

If any term or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be invalid and unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforced to the extent permitted by law.

The parties hereto agree that it is their intention hereby to create only the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, and that no provision hereof, or act of either party hereunder, shall ever be construed as creating the relationship of principal and agent, or a partnership, or a joint venture or enterprise between the parties hereto.
