2. POSSESSION AND LEASE COMMENCEMENT
A. Existing Improvements. If this Lease pertains to a Premises in which the interior improvements have already been constructed ("Existing Improvements"), the provisions of this Paragraph 2.A. shall apply and the term commencement date ("Term Commencement Date") shall be the earlier of the date on which: (1) Tenant takes possession of some or all of the Premises; or (2) Landlord notifies Tenant that Tenant may occupy the Premises. If for any reason Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the scheduled Term Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall Landlord be in default hereunder nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease, and Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Premises at such time as Landlord is able to deliver the same, which date shall then be deemed the Term Commencement Date. Tenant shall not be liable for any Rent (defined below) for any period prior to the Term Commencement Date. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has inspected and accepts the Premises in their present condition, broom clean, "as is," and as suitable for, the Permitted Use (as defined below), and for Tenant's intended operations in the Premises. Tenant agrees that the Premises and other improvements are in good and satisfactory condition as of when possession was taken. Tenant further acknowledges that no representations as to the condition or repair of the Premises nor promises to alter, remodel or improve the Premises have been made by Landlord or any agents of Landlord unless such are expressly set forth in this Lease. Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall promptly execute and return to Landlord a "Start Up Letter" in which Tenant shall agree, among other things, to acceptance of the Premises and to the determination of the Term Commencement Date, in accordance with the terms of this Lease, but Tenant's failure or refusal to do so shall not negate Tenant's acceptance of the Premises or affect determination of the Term Commencement Date.

If this Lease pertains to a Building to be constructed or improvements to be constructed within a Building, the provisions of this Paragraph 2.B. shall apply in lieu of the provisions of Paragraph 2.A. above and the term commencement date ("Term Commencement Date") shall be the earlier of the date on which: (1) Tenant takes possession of some or all of the Premises for purposes of the commencement of the conduct of its business therein; or (2) the improvements to be constructed or performed in the Premises by Landlord (if any) shall have been substantially completed in accordance with the plans and specifications, if any, Plans described on Exhibit C as certified by the architect Deveon Construction Incorporated, in writing to Tenant and Landlord (subject to mutual approval by Landlord and Tenant), and Tenant's taking of possession of the Premises or any part thereof for purposes of other than the installation of telephone or data cabling or the installation of furniture or furniture systems shall constitute Tenant's confirmation of substantial completion for all purposes hereof (subject to the completion by Landlord of any punch list items and any latent defects not visually discoverable by Tenant upon a reasonably diligent inspection and which are identified in writing by Tenant within six (6) months of the Tenant's occupancy of each Building), whether or not substantial completion of other portions of the Building or Project shall have occurred. If for any reason beyond Landlord's reasonable control Landlord cannot deliver possession of the subject portion of the Premises to Tenant on the scheduled Term Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefor, nor shall Landlord be in default hereunder nor shall such failure affect the validity of this Lease, and Tenant agrees to accept possession of other portions of the Premises at such time as such improvements have been substantially completed, which date shall then be deemed the Term Commencement Date; provided, however, that if Landlord fails to tender possession of any portion of the Premises, subject to Paragraph 35 of this Lease, within ninety (90) days of the scheduled Term Commencement Date with respect to each Building, then Tenant, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease with respect to each Building, unless within such thirty (30) day period Landlord tenders possession of each Building in the condition required by this Lease. Tenant shall not be liable for any Rent for any period prior to the Term Commencement Date (but without affecting any obligations of Tenant under any improvement agreement appended to this Lease). In the event of any dispute as to substantial completion of work performed or required to be performed by Landlord, the certificate of Landlord's architect or general contractor shall be conclusive. Substantial completion shall have occurred notwithstanding Tenant's submission of a punchlist to Landlord, which Tenant shall submit, if at all, within three (3) seven (7) business days after the Term Commencement Date or otherwise in accordance with any improvement agreement appended to this Lease. Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall promptly execute and return to Landlord a "Start-Up Letter" in which Tenant shall agree, among other things, to acceptance of the Premises (subject to any punchlist exceptions according to Paragraph 6.C of Exhibit C) and to the determination of the Term Commencement Date, in accordance with the terms of this Lease, but Tenant's failure or refusal to do so shall not negate Tenant's acceptance of the Premises or affect determination of the Term Commencement Date.
3. TERM

4. USE
A. General. Tenant shall use the Premises for the permitted use specified in the Basic Lease Information ("Permitted Use") and for no other use or purpose, without Landlord's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Tenant shall control Tenant's employees, agents, customers, visitors, invitees, licensees, contractors, assignees and subtenants (collectively, "Tenant's Parties") in such a manner that Tenant and Tenant's Parties cumulatively do not exceed the occupancy density (the "Occupancy Density") or the parking density specified in the Basic Lease Information (the "Parking Density") at any time.

Further, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant's actual Occupancy Density may exceeds Tenant's Parking Density, however, Landlord shall not be obligated to Tenant to provide additional parking in the event the Occupancy Density causes the Parking Density to be exceeded. In the event Tenant's Parking Density is exceeded, Tenant shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to immediately cure this condition. Landlord reserves the right to the extent it is commercially reasonable to do so, upon reasonable prior written notice to Tenant, without notice or liability to Tenant, and without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction, to alter or modify the common areas from time to time, including the location and configuration thereof, and the amenities and facilities which Landlord may determine to provide from time to time, provided that no such changes shall unreasonably affect access to or visibility of the Premises and all such changes shall be consistent with the operation of comparable first-class business parks in San Diego County, California.
B. Limitations. Tenant shall not permit any odors, smoke, dust, gas, substances, noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises or from any portion of the common areas as a result of Tenant's or any Tenant's Party's use thereof, nor take any action which would constitute a nuisance or would unreasonably disturb, obstruct or endanger any other tenants or occupants of the Building or Project or elsewhere, or interface with their use of their respective premises or common areas. Storage outside the Premises of materials, vehicles or any other items is prohibited. Tenant shall not use or allow the Premises to be used for any immoral, improper or unlawful purpose, nor shall Tenant cause or maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer the commission of any waste in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not allow any sale by auction upon the Premises, or place any loads upon the floors, walls or ceilings which could endanger the structure, or place any harmful substances in the drainage system of the Building or Project. No waste, materials or refuse shall be dumped upon or permitted to remain outside the Premises except in trash containers placed inside exterior enclosures designated for that purpose by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the non-compliance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building or Project with any of the above-referenced rules or any other terms or provisions of such tenant's or occupant's lease or other contract, provided Landlord shall administer compliance with such rules and regulations in a nondiscriminatory manner.
6

Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense strictly comply with all existing or future applicable municipal, state and federal and other governmental statutes, rules, requirements, regulations, laws and ordinances, including zoning ordinances and regulations, including the MCAS Miramar Comprehensive Land Use Plan ("CLUP") attached hereto as Exhibit E of this Lease, and covenants, easements and restrictions of record governing and relating to the specific manner of Tenant's use, occupancy or possession of the Premises, to Tenant's use of the common areas, or to the use, storage, generation or disposal of Hazardous Materials (hereinafter defined) (collectively "Regulations"). Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense obtain any and all licenses or permits necessary for Tenant's use of the Premises. Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense promptly comply with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in, on, under or about the Project or bring or keep anything which will in any way increase the rate of any insurance upon the Premises, Building or Project or upon any contents therein or cause a cancellation of said insurance or otherwise affect said insurance in any manner. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss, cost, expense, damage, attorney's fees or liability arising out of the failure of Tenant to comply with any Regulation. Tenant's obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

D. Hazardous Materials. As used in this Lease, "Hazardous Materials" shall include, but not be limited to, hazardous, toxic and radioactive materials and those substances defined as "hazardous substances," "hazardous materials," "hazardous wastes," "toxic substances," or other similar designations in any Regulation. Tenant's Hazardous Materials Declaration is attached hereto as Exhibit D. Tenant shall not cause, or allow any of Tenant's parties to cause, any Hazardous Materials to be handled, used, generated, stored, released or disposed of in, on, under or about the Premises, the Building or the Project or surrounding land or environment in violation of any Regulations. Tenant must obtain Landlord's written consent prior to the introduction of any Hazardous Materials onto the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may handle, store, use and dispose of products containing small quantities of Hazardous Materials for "general office purposes" (such as toner for copiers) to the extent customary and necessary for the Permitted Use of the Premises; provided that Tenant shall always handle, store, use and dispose of any such Hazardous Materials in a safe and lawful manner and never allow such Hazardous Materials to contaminate the Premises, Building, or Project or surrounding land or environment. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing of any Hazardous Materials, contamination of any portion of the Project of which Tenant becomes aware, whether or not caused by Tenant. If, but only if, Landlord has a reasonable basis to believe that Tenant has introduced any Hazardous Materials onto the Premises, then Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect the Premises and to conduct tests and investigations to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with the foregoing provisions, the reasonable and actual cost of all such inspections, tests and investigations to be borne by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs, loss of rents, liens, damages, injuries or expenses (including attorneys' and consultants' fees and court costs), demands, causes of action, or judgments directly or indirectly arising out of or related to the use, generation, storage, release, or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any of Tenant's parties in, on, under or about the Premises, the Building or the Project or surrounding land or environment, which indemnity shall include, without limitation, damages for personal or bodily injury, property damage, damage to the environment or natural resources occurring on or off the Premises, losses attributable to diminution in value or adverse effects on marketability, the cost of any investigation, monitoring, government oversight, repair, removal, remediation, restoration, abatement, and disposal, and the preparation of any closures or other required plans, whether such action is required or necessary prior to or following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Neither the consent by Landlord to the use, generation, storage, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all laws pertaining to Hazardous Materials shall excuse Tenant from Tenant's obligation of indemnification pursuant in this Paragraph 4.D. Tenant's obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
5. RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the building rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit A and any other rules and regulations and any modifications or additions thereto which Landlord may from time to time reasonably prescribe in writing for the purpose of maintaining the proper care, cleanliness, safety, traffic flow and general order of the Premises or the Building or Project. Tenant shall cause Tenant's parties to comply with such rules and regulations. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the non-compliance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building or Project with any of such rules and regulations, any other tenant's or occupant's lease or any Regulations, provided Landlord shall administer compliance with such rules in a non-discriminatory manner.

The above enumeration of services and facilities shall not be deemed to impose an obligation on Landlord to make available or provide such services or facilities except to the extent if any that Landlord has specifically agreed elsewhere in this Lease to make the same available or provide the same; provided that Landlord shall operate and maintain the Project in a manner reasonably comparable to other comparable first-class business park projects in San Diego County. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for providing adequate security for its use of the Premises, the Building and the Project and that Landlord shall have no obligation or liability with respect thereto, except to the extent if any that Landlord has specifically agreed elsewhere in this Lease to provide the same.
B. Payment of Estimated Operating Expenses. "Estimated Operating Expenses" for any particular year shall mean Landlord's reasonable estimate of the Operating Expenses for such fiscal year made with respect to such fiscal year as hereinafter provided, Landlord shall have the right from time to time to revise its fiscal year and interim accounting periods so long as the periods as so revised are reconciled with prior periods in a reasonable manner.

C. Computation of Operating Expense Adjustment. "Operating Expense Adjustment" shall mean the difference between Estimated Operating Expenses and actual Operating Expenses for any fiscal year determined as hereinafter provided. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, or as soon thereafter as practicable but in any event by June 30 of such year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of actual Operating Expenses for the fiscal year just ended, accompanied by a computation of Operating Expense Adjustment. If such statement shows that Tenant's payment based upon Estimated Operating Expenses in less than Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference within twenty (20) thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement, such payment to constitute Additional Rent for all purposes hereunder. If such statement shows that Tenant's payments of Estimated Operating Expenses exceed Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses, then (provided that Tenant is not in default under this Lease) Landlord shall pay to Tenant's the difference within twenty (20) thirty (30) days after delivery of such statement to Tenant. If this Lease has been terminated or the Term hereof has expired prior to the date of such statement, then the Operating Expense Adjustment shall be paid by the appropriate party within twenty (20) thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the statement. Should this Lease commence or terminate at any time other than the first day of the fiscal year, Tenant's Proportionate Share of the Operating Expense Adjustment shall be prorated based on a month of 30 days and the number of calendar months during such fiscal year that this Lease is in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Paragraph 7.A or 7.B, Landlord's failure to provide any notices or statements within the time periods specified in those paragraphs shall in no way excuse Tenant from its obligation to pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses.
D. Net Lease. This shall be a triple net Lease and Base Rent shall be paid to Landlord absolutely net of all costs and expenses, except as specifically provided to the contrary in this Lease. The provisions for payment of Operating Expenses and the Operating Expense Adjustment are intended to pass on to Tenant and reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses of the nature described in Paragraph 7.A. incurred in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, repair, preservation, replacement and operation of the Building and/or Project and its supporting facilities and such additional facilities now and in subsequent years as may be determined by Landlord to be necessary or desirable to the Building and/or Project.
E. Tenant Audit. If Tenant shall dispute the amount set forth in any statement provided by Landlord under Paragraph 7.B. or 7.C. above, Tenant shall have the right, not later than twenty (20) days six (6) months following receipt of such statement and upon the condition that Tenant shall first deposit with Landlord the full amount in dispute, to cause Landlord's books and records with respect to Operating Expenses for such fiscal year to be audited by certified public accountants selected by Tenant and subject to Landlord's reasonable right of approval. The Operating Expense Adjustment shall be approximately adjusted on the basis of such audit. If such audit discloses a liability for a refund in excess of ten five percent (10%) (5%) of Tenant's proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses previously reported, the cost of such audit shall be borne by Landlord; otherwise the cost of such audit shall be paid by Tenant. If Tenant shall not request an audit in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 7.E. within twenty (20) days six (6) months after receipt of Landlord's statement provided pursuant to Paragraph 7.B. or 7.C., such statement shall be final and binding for all purposes hereof, absent manifest error.
F. Calculation of Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses shall be calculated and determined in accordance with the following general principles:
(1) Recovery Limited to Actual Costs. Landlord shall not recover the cost of any item more than once,
15
(2) Arm's Length. All services rendered to and materials supplied to the Project shall be rendered or supplied at a cost comparable to those charged in arm's length transactions for similar services or materials rendered of supplied for similar purposes to comparable building in San Diego County.
(3) Reimbursements. All discounts, reimbursements, rebates, refunds or credits (collectively, "Reimbursements") attributable to Operating Expenses received by Landlord in a particular year shall be deducted from Operating Expenses in the year the same are received: provided, however, if a particular Reimbursement exceeds Fifty Thousands Dollars ($50,000.00) and applies to a prior year, such Reimbursement shall be applied to such prior year (and Tenant's Proportionate Share thereof shall be promptly refunded).
(4) Non-Project Exclusive Expenses. Whenever expenses are paid or incurred by landlord as a result of activities that are not exclusively rendered to the project, only that portion that can be reasonably allocated to the Project shall be included within Operating Expenses.
(5) Installments. All assessments and premiums of Operating Expenses which can be paid or incurred by Landlord in annual installments shall be paid by Landlord in the maximum number of annual installments permitted by law and shall not be included as Operating Expenses except in the calculation year in which the installments are actually paid; provided, however, that if the then-prevailing practice in other comparable buildings is to pay such assessments or premiums on an earlier basis and Landlord shall pay the same on such basis, such assessments or premiums shall be included in Operating Expenses as paid by Landlord.
(6) Reasonableness. Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to operate and maintain the project in an economically reasonable manner.
8. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION
A. Landlord's Insurance. All insurance maintained by Landlord shall be for the sole benefit of Landlord and under Landlord's sole control.
(1) Property Insurance. Landlord agrees to maintain property insurance insuring the Building against damage or destruction due to risk including fire, vandalism, and malicious mischief in an amount not less than the replacement cost thereof, in the form and with deductibles and endorsements as selected by Landlord. At its election, Landlord may instead (but shall have no obligation to) obtain "All Risk" coverage, and may also obtain earthquake, pollutions, and/or flood insurance in amounts selected by Landlord.
(2) Optional Insurance. Landlord, at Landlord's option, may also (but shall have no obligation to) carry insurance against loss of rent, in an amount equal to the amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent that Landlord could be required to abate to all Building tenants in the event of condemnation or casualty damage for a period of twelve (12) months. Landlord may also (but shall have no obligation to) carry such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably deem prudent or advisable, including, without limitation, liability insurance in such amounts and on such terms as Landlord shall determine. If and when Spieker Properties, L.P. or its successor by merger or acquisition, is no longer the "Landlord" under this Lease, then at all times Landlord shall carry a policy of Commercial General Liability Insurance with limits of liability of no less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00). Landlord shall not be obligated to insure, and shall have no responsibility whatsoever for any damage to, any furniture, machinery, goods, inventory or supplies, or other personal property or fixtures which Tenant may keep or maintain in the Premises, or any leasehold improvements, additions or alterations within the Premises except where such damage arises from the active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, agents, or contractors.
16
B. Tenant's Insurance.
So long as Franklin Resources Inc. is "Tenant" under this Lease, the coverages Tenant is required to maintain under this Lease may be maintained under a program of Tenant's self-insurance or under policies that include self-insured retentions or deductibles that are typically carried by similarly situated tenants. Prior to any implementation of Tenant's self-insurance program, Tenant shall in writing advise Landlord of the self-insured retentions or deductibles.
(1) Property Insurance. Tenant shall procure at Tenant's sole cost and expense and keep in effect from the date of this Lease and at all times until the end of the Term, insurance on all personal property and fixtures of Tenant and all improvements, additions or alterations made by or for Tenant to the Premises on an "All Risk" basis, insuring such property for the full replacement value of such property.
(2) Liability Insurance. Tenant shall procure at Tenant's sole cost and expense and keep in effect from the date of this Lease and at all times until the end of the Term Commercial General Liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage liability occurring in or about the Premises or arising out of the use and occupancy of the Premises and the Project, and any part of either, and any areas adjacent therein, and the business operated by Tenant or by any other occupant of the Premises. Such insurance shall include contractual liability coverage insuring all of Tenant's indemnity obligations under this Lease. Such coverage shall have a minimum combined single limit of liability of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), and a minimum general aggregate limit of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), with an "Additional Insured—Managers or Lessors of Premises Endorsement" and the "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion Endorsement." All such policies shall be written to apply to all bodily injury (including death), property damage or loss, personal and advertising injury and other covered loss, however occasioned, occurring during the policy term, shall be endorsed to add Landlord and any party holding an interest to which this Lease may be subordinated as an additional insured, and shall provide that such coverage shall be "primary" and non-contributing with any insurance maintained by Landlord, which shall be excess insurance only. Such coverage shall also contain endorsements including employees as additional insureds if not covered by Tenant's Commercial General Liability Insurance. All such insurance shall provide for the severability of interests of insureds; and shall be written on an "occurence" basis, which shall afford coverage for all claims based on acts, omissions, injury and damage, which occurred or arose (or the onset of which occurred or arose) in whole or in part during the policy period.
(3) Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability Insurance. Tenant shall carry Workers' Compensation Insurance as required by any Regulation, throughout the Term at Tenant's sole cost and expense. To the extent required by any Regulation, Tenant shall also carry Employers' Liability Insurance in amounts not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) each accident for bodily injury by accident; One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) policy limit for bodily injury by disease; and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) each employee for bodily injury by disease, throughout the Term at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
(4) Commercial Auto Liability Insurance. Tenant shall procure at Tenant's sole cost and expense and keep in effect from the date of this Lease and at all times until the end of the Term commercial auto liability insurance with a combined limit of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for bodily injury and property damage for each accident. Such insurance shall cover liability relating to any auto (including owned, hired and non-owned autos).
(5) General Insurance Requirements. All coverages described in this Paragraph 8.B. shall be endorsed to (i) provide Landlord with thirty (30) days' notice of cancellation or material change in terms; and (ii) waive all rights of subrogation by the insurance carrier against Landlord. If at any time during the Term the amount or coverage of insurance which Tenant is required to carry
17
under this Paragraph 8.B. is, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, materially less than the amount or type of insurance coverage typically carried by owners or tenants of properties located in the general area in which the Premises are located which are similar to and operated for similar purposes as the Premises or if Tenant's use of the Premises should change with or without Landlord's consent, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to increase the amount or change the types of insurance coverage required under this Paragraph 8.B. All insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease shall be written by companies rated A X VII or better in "Best's Insurance Guide" and authorized to do business in the State of California. Should Franklin Resources, Inc. or its successor by merger or acquisition, no longer be "Tenant" under this Lease, In any event then deductible amounts under all insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant under this Lease shall not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) per occurrence.

In addition, if Landlord elected at the time consent to any such Alterations was granted to require that any such Alterations be removed by Tenant upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and Landlord elects to be responsible for performing such removal, then notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of removing any such Alterations and restoring the Premises to their original condition such cost to include a reasonable charge for Landlord's overhead and profit as provided above, and such amount may be deducted from the Security Deposit or any other sums or amounts held by Landlord under this Lease.

Without limiting the other instances in which it may be reasonable for Landlord to withhold Landlord's consent to an assignment or subletting, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold Landlord's consent in the following instances: If the proposed assignee does not agree to be bound by and assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; the use of the Premises by such proposed assignee or subtenant would not be a Permitted Use or would violate any exclusivity or other arrangement which Landlord has with any other tenant or occupant or any Regulation or would increase the Occupancy Density or Parking Density of the Building or Project, or would otherwise result in an undesirable tenant for the Project as reasonably determined by Landlord; the proposed assignee or subtenant is not of sound financial condition as determined by Landlord in Landlord's sole reasonable discretion; the proposed assignee or subtenant is a governmental agency that occupies more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises; the proposed assignee or subtenant does not have a good reputation as a tenant of property or a good business reputation; the proposed assignee or subtenant is a person with whom Landlord is negotiating to lease space in the Project or is a present tenant of the Project; the assignment or subletting would entail any Alternations which would lessen the value of the leasehold improvements in the Premises or use of any Hazardous Materials or other noxious use or use which may disturb other tenants of the Project; or Tenant is in default of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, or Tenant has defaulted under this Lease on three (3) or more occasions during any twelve (12) months preceding the date that Tenant shall request consent. Failure by or refusal of Landlord to consent to a proposed assignee or subtenant shall not cause a termination of this Lease. Upon a termination under Paragraph 21(A)(1) (i) Landlord may lease the Premises in any party including parties with whom Tenant has negotiated an assignment or sublease, without incurring any liability to Tenant. At the option of Landlord, a surrender and termination of this Lease shall operate as an assignment to Landlord of some or all subleases or subtenancies. Landlord shall exercise this option by giving notice of that assignment to such subtenants on or before the effective date of the surrender and termination. In connection with each request for assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord's standard fee for approving such requests, as well as all costs incurred by Landlord or any mortgagee or ground lessor in approving each such request and effecting any such transfer, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fee in an amount not to exceed Twenty-five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00).

27
percent (10%) (50%) to Tenant, ninety fifty percent (90%) (50%) to Landlord ("Bonus Rent"). However, for any subleasing or assignment that is in the aggregate twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Premises then the Bonus Rent shall be divided and paid twenty-five percent (25%) to Tenant and seventy-five (75%) to Landlord. In any subletting or assignment undertaken by Tenant, Tenant shall diligently seek to obtain the maximum rental amount available in the marketplace for comparable space available for primary leasing.
C. Corporation. If Tenant is a corporation, a transfer of corporate shares by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or other disposition (including such a transfer to or by a receiver or trustee in federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings) resulting in a change in the present control of such corporation or any of its parent corporations by the person or persons owning a majority of said corporate shares, shall constitute an assignment for purposes of this Lease. So long as Franklin Resources, Inc., is the "Tenant" in possession of the Premises, and Tenant is not in default of this Lease after the expiration of all applicable grace, notice and cure periods, Tenant shall have the right subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth without the consent of Landlord, to (a) assign its interest in this Lease (i) to any corporation which is a successor to Tenant either by merger or consolidation, or (ii) to a purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets (provided such purchaser shall have also assumed substantially all of Tenant's liabilities), or to a corporation or other entity which shall control, be under the control of or be under common control with Franklin Resources, Inc., (the term "control" as used herein shall be deemed to mean ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation, or other majority equity and controlling interest if Tenant is not a corporation) (any such entity being a "Related Entity"), or (b) sublease all or any portion of the Premises to a Related Entity; upon the condition that (i) the principal purpose of such assignment or sublease is not the acquisition of Tenant's interest in this Lease (except if such assignment or sublease is made to a Related Entity and is made for a valid intra-corporate business purpose and is not made to circumvent the provisions of this Paragraph 21), and (ii) any such assignee shall have a net worth and annual income and cash flow, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, after giving effect to such assignment, in amounts necessary to perform its duties, obligations and liabilities hereunder, as reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant shall within ten (10) business days after execution thereof, deliver to Landlord (a) a duplicate original instrument of assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant, (b) an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by the assignee, in which such assignee shall assume observance and performance of, and agree to he personally bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, or (c) a duplicate original sublease in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant and subtenant, in which such assignee shall assume observance and performance of, and agree to be personally bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed.
D. Unincorporated Entity. If Tenant is a partnership, joint venture, unincorporated limited liability company or other unincorporated business form, a transfer of the interest of persons, firms or entities responsible for managerial control of Tenant by sale, assignment, bequest, inheritance, operation of law or other disposition so as to result in a change in the present control of said entity and/or of the underlying beneficial interests of said entity and/or a change in the identity of the persons responsible for the general credit obligations of said entity shall constitute an assignment for all purposes of this Lease.
E. Liability. No assignment or subletting by Tenant, permitted or otherwise, shall relieve Tenant of any obligation under this Lease or alter the primary liability of the Tenant named herein for the payment of Rent or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by Tenant, including obligations contained in Paragraph 25 with respect to any assignee or subtenant. Landlord may collect rent or other amounts or any portion thereof from any assignee, subtenant, or other occupant of the
28
Premises, permitted or otherwise, and apply the net rent collected to the Rent payable hereunder, but no such collection shall be deemed to be a waiver of this Paragraph 21, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Any assignment or subletting which conflicts with the provisions hereof shall be void.
22. AUTHORITY
Landlord represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to enter into this Lease and to perform all of Landlord's obligations hereunder and that all persons signing this Lease on its behalf are authorized to do. Tenant and the person or persons, if any, signing on behalf of Tenant, jointly and severally represent and warrant that Tenant has full right and authority to enter into this Lease, and to perform all of Tenant's obligations hereunder, and that all persons signing this Lease on its behalf are authorized to do so.
23. CONDEMNATION
A. Condemnation Resulting in Termination. If the whole or any substantial part of the Premises should be taken or condemned for any public use under any Regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, and the taking would prevent or materially interface with the Permitted Use of the Premises, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease at its option. If any material portion of the Building or Project is taken or condemned for any public use under any Regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lien thereof, Landlord may terminate this Lease at its option. In either of such events, the Rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective when the physical taking of said Premises shall have occurred.
B. Condemnation Not Resulting in Termination. If a portion of the Project of which the Premises are a part should be taken or condemned for any public use under any Regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, and the taking prevents or materially interferes with the Permitted Use of the Premises, and this Lease is not terminated as provided in Paragraph 23.A above, the Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of the Lease shall be reduced, beginning on the date when the physical taking shall have occurred, to such amount as may be fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances, but only after giving Landlord credit for all sums received or to be received by Tenants by the condemning authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph, if the temporary use or occupancy of any part of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated under power of eminent domain during the Term, this Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such taking or appropriation and Tenant shall continue to pay in full all Rent payable hereunder by Tenant during the Term; in the event of any such temporary appropriation or taking, Tenant shall be entitled to receive that portion of any award which represents compensation for the use of or occupancy of the Premises during the Term, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion of any award which represents the cost of restoration of the Premises and the use and occupancy of the Premises.
C. Award.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any compensation specifically and separately awarded Tenant for Tenant's personal property and moving costs, shall be remain the property of Tenant and the unamortized value of improvements to the Premises paid for by Tenant.
29
D. Waiver of CCP§1265.130. Each party waives the provisions of California Civil Code Procedure Section 1265.130 allowing either party to petition the superior court to terminate this Lease as a result of a partial taking.
24. CASUALTY DAMAGE
A. General. If the Premises or Building should be damaged or destroyed by fire, tornado, or other casualty (collectively, "Casualty"), Tenant shall give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord. Within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of such notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether in Landlord's estimation (based upon the certificate of a general contractor reasonably acceptable to Tenant) material restoration of the Premises can reasonably be made within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such notice and receipt of required permits for such restoration. Landlord's determination shall be binding on Tenant.
B. Within 180 Days. If the Premises or Building should be damaged by Casualty to such extent that material restoration can in Landlord's estimation be reasonably completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such notice and receipt of required permits for such restoration, this Lease shall not terminate. Provided that insurance proceeds are received by Landlord to fully repair the damage (less the amount of any deductible), Landlord shall proceed to rebuild and repair the Premises in the manner reasonably determined by Landlord, except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the Alterations which may have been placed on or about the Premises by Tenant. If the Premises are untenantable in whole or in part following such damage, the Rent payable hereunder during the period in which they are untenantable shall be abated proportionately, but only in the extent of rental abatement insurance proceeds received by Landlord during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy.
C. Greater than 180 Days. If the Premises or Building should be damaged by Casualty to such extent that rebuilding or repairs cannot in Landlord's estimation be reasonably completed within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such notice and receipt of required permits for such rebuilding or repair, then Landlord either party shall have the option, to be exercised within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord's estimate, of either (1) terminating this Lease effective upon the date of the occurrence of such damage, in which event the Rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease or (2) electing to rebuild or repair the Premises diligently and in the manner determined by Landlord. Landlord shall notify Tenant of its election within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of notice of the damage or destruction. If neither party elects to so terminate, Landlord shall commence to rebuild or repair the Premises diligently and in the manner reasonably determined by Landlord. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of any Alterations which may have been placed, on or about the Premises by Tenant. If the Premises are untenantable in whole or in part following such damage, the Rent payable hereunder during the period in which they are untenantable shall be abated proportionately, but only to the extent of rental abatement insurance proceeds received by Landlord during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy.
D. Tenant's Fault. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Premises or any other portion of the Building are damaged by Casualty resulting from the fault, negligence, or breach of this Lease by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties, Base Rent and Additional Rent shall not be diminished during the repair of such damage (to the extent Tenant is responsible for the loss and Landlord is not being covered by any other insurance proceeds) and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for the cost and expense of the repair and restoration of the Building caused thereby to the extent such cost and expenses is not covered by insurance proceeds.
E. Insurance Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Premises or Building are damaged or destroyed and are not fully covered by the insurance proceeds received by
30
Landlord or if the holder of any indebtedness secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering the Premises requires, despite Landlord's commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such proceeds, that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then in either case Landlord shall have the right to terminate this lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of notice to Landlord that said damage or destruction is not fully covered by insurance or such requirement is made by any such holder, as the case may be, whereupon this Lease shall terminate.
F. Waiver. This Paragraph 24 shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy in the event of damage or destruction to the Premises or the Building. As a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any rights it may have under Sections 1932, 1933(4), 1941 or 1942 of the Civil Code of California with respect to any destruction of the Premises, Landlord's obligation for tenantability of the Premises and Tenant's right to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs, or under any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
G. Tenant's Personal Property. In the event of any damage or destruction of the Premises or the Building under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to repair any injury or damage to or make any repairs to, or replacements of Tenant's personal property.
25. HOLDING OVER
Unless Landlord expressly consents in writing to Tenant's holding over, Tenant shall be unlawfully and illegally in possession of the Premises, whether or not Landlord accepts any rent from Tenant or any other person while Tenant remains in possession of the Premises without Landlord's written consent. If Tenant shall retain possession of the Premises or any portion thereof without Landlord's consent following the expiration of this Lease or sooner termination for any reason then Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each day of such retention triple two hundred percent (200%) the amount of daily rental as of the last month prior to the date of expiration or earlier termination. Tenant shall also indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord harmless from any loss, liability or cost, including consequential and incidental damages and reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord resulting from delay by Tenant in surrendering the Premises within thirty (30) days following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term or extended Term of this Lease, including without limitation, any claims made by the succeeding tenant founded on such delay. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord following expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or following demand by Landlord for possession of the Premises, shall not constitute a renewal of this Lease, and nothing contained in this Paragraph 25 shall waive Landlord's right of reentry or any other right. Additionally, if upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, or following demand by Landlord for possession of the Premises. Tenant has not fulfilled its obligation with respect to repairs and cleanup of the Premises or any other Tenant obligations as set forth in this Lease then Landlord shall have the right to perform any such obligations as it deems necessary at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and any time required by Landlord to complete such obligations shall be considered a period of holding over and the terms of this Paragraph 25 shall apply. The provisions of this Paragraph 25 shall survive any expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If by written notice to Landlord delivered not later than twelve (12) months prior in the Term Expiration Date, or the expiration of the extended Term (the "Hold Over Notice"), Tenant advises Landlord of its intent to hold-over specifying the period of such hold-over (which period must be for a period of no longer than six (6) months) (the "Hold-Over Term") then Tenant may, as matter of right, remain in possession following the Term Expiration Date or the expiration of the extended Term, as the case may be, for the Hold-Over Term set forth in the Hold-Over Notice; provided, that the Base Rent for the Hold-Over Term shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the sum of the Base Rent and other charges payable for the last month of the Term or extended Term. In no event under the preceding sentence shall Tenant have the right to hold-over in the Premises for more than one (1) six (6) month or shorter period beyond the Term Expiration Date or the expiration of the extended Term.

B. Remedies Upon Default.
(1) Termination. In the event of the occurrence of any event of default, Landlord shall have the right to give a written termination notice to Tenant, and on the date specified in such notice, Tenant's right to possession shall terminate, and this Lease shall terminate unless on or before such date all Rent in arrears and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord hereunder shall have been paid by Tenant and all other events of default of this Lease by Tenant at the time existing shall have been fully remedies to the satisfaction of Landlord. At any time after such termination, Landlord may recover possession of the Premises or any part thereof and expel and remove there from Tenant and any other person occupying the same, including any subtenant or subtenants notwithstanding Landlord's consent to any sublease, by any lawful means, and again repossess and enjoy the Premises without prejudice to any of the remedies that Landlord may have
32
under this Lease or at law or equity by any reason of Tenant's default or of such termination. Landlord hereby reserves the right, but shall not have the obligation, to recognize the continued possession of any subtenant. The delivery or surrender to Landlord by or on behalf of Tenant of keys, entry codes, or other means to bypass security at the premises shall not terminate this Lease.

C. Damages After Default. Should Landlord terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 26.B.(1) hereof, Landlord shall have the rights and remedies of a Landlord provided by Section 1951.2 of the State of California, or any successor code sections. Upon such termination, in addition to any other rights and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled under applicable law or at equity, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant: (1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent and other amounts which had been earned at the time of termination, (2) the worth at the time of award exceeds the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other amounts for the balance of the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that the Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; (3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other amounts for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that the Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and (4) any other amount and court costs necessary to compensate landlord for all detriment proximately caused by the Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligation under this Lease or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom. The "worth at the time of award" as used in (1) and (2) above shall be completed at the Applicable Interest Rate (defined below). The "worth at the time of award" as used in (3) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at the Federal Discount Rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

D. Late Charge. In addition to its other remedies, Landlord shall have the right without notice or demand to add to the amount of any payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, and which is not paid and received by Landlord on or before the first fifth business day of each calendar month an amount equal to (i) two and one-half percent (2.5%) for the first late payment during any calendar year and (ii) ten five percent (10%) (5%) for the second and subsequent late payment during any calendar year of the delinquency for each month of portion thereof the delinquency remains outstanding to compensate Landlord for the loss of the use of the amount not paid and the administrative costs caused by the delinquency, the parties agreeing that Landlord's damage by virtue
33
of such delinquencies would be extremely difficult and impracticable to compete and the amount stated herein represents a responsible estimates thereof, provided, however, that on one (1) occasion during any calendar year of the Term, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of such late payment and tenants shall have a period of five (5) calendar days thereafter in which to make such payment before any late charge shall be assessed. Any waiver by Landlord of any late charge or failure to claim the same shall not constitute a waiver of other late charge or any other remedies available to Landlord.
E. Interest. Interest shall accrue on all sums not paid when due hereunder at the lesser of eighteen fourteen percent (18%) (14%) per annum or the maximum Interest rate allowed by law ("Applicable Interest Rate") from the date until paid.
F. Remedies cumulative. All rights privileges and election or remedies of the parties are cumulative and not alternative to the extent permitted by law and except as otherwise provided herein.

Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless landlord fails to perform any material obligation required of Landlord under the terms of this Lease within a reasonable time, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord, subject to Paragraph 35 of this Lease, specifying the nature of Landlord's failure to perform. If, however, the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than sixty (60) days are reasonable required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default hereunder if Landlord commences performance within such sixty (60) day period, subject to Paragraph 35 of this Lease, and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion. If Landlord at the expiration of such notice and cure periods has failed to cure such default, then, subject to the exculpatory provisions of this Paragraph 26, Tenant may pursue any of its legal or equitable remedies, but Tenant shall be deemed to expand Tenant's remedies under circumstances where particular provisions of this Lease expressly provide for an available remedy and where such available remedies are so set forth they shall be deemed Tenant's exclusive remedy.
27. LIENS
Tenant shall at all times keep the Premises and the Project free from liens arising out of or related to work or services performed, materials or supplies furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant or in connection with work made, suffered or done by or on behalf of Tenant in or on the Premises of Project. If Tenant shall not, within ten (10) days following the imposition of any such lien, cause the same to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as Landlord shall deem proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien.

31. WAIVER
If either Landlord or Tenant waivers the performance of any term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease such waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition contained herein, or constitute a course of dealing contrary in the expressed terms of this Lease. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time Landlord accepted such Rent. Failure by Landlord to enforce any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease for any length of time shall not be deemed to waive or decrease the right of Landlord to insist thereafter upon strict performance by Tenant, Waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease may only be made by a written document signed by Landlord based upon full knowledge of the circumstances.
35

The third arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed resolutions.

Naval Air Station Miramar
San Diego, California
What is the CLUP?
The Naval Air Station (NAS) Miramar Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) represents Navy and community recommendations for achieving compatible development near the air station. The CLUP was prepared by the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) under authority of Article 3.5 of the California Public Utilities Code. The CLUP also incorporates recommendations of the Navy's Air Installation Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) program, part of a nation-wide planning effort by the Department of Defense to look at accident potential and noise impacts around each military air installation in the United States. The goals of the CLUP are to:
Why is there a Problem?
Many military and civilian airfields were originally constructed in the open countryside. Over the years pressures to house a growing population meant people tended to move onto land near airfields. This nearby land normally has established access routes, and in many cases offers the advantages of living or working close to a major employment base. Meanwhile the level of air traffic has increased. These counteracting trends can cause problems for the air facility as well as local residents. Specifically, problems arise when use of the land is not controlled for compatibility with air operations.
Although noise impact areas no longer grow at rates experienced in the 1970's (and have actually decreased at NAS Miramar), the land near all airfields will continue to have high noise levels and potential for aircraft accidents. Land near airfields is suitable for certain types of development, such as agriculture or industrial uses, but may not be suitable for other types of development. Land near NAS Miramar consists of a mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses. For the most part, these developments are considered compatible with the current land use plan.
Community Participation
Land use compatibility is a shared concern of the Navy, the public, and the local government agencies who have planning and zoning authority. The decision makers for the local government have the key responsibility for taking actions that preserve land use compatibility. The cooperative action of all parties helps to resolve land use compatibility problems.
Navy Role in the Economy
More than 11,000 military and 2,500 civilian personnel work at NAS Miramar. Nearly 2,500 bachelor and 615 married military personnel (with 1,000 dependents) live at the air facility. An additional 1800 military, with 5,500 dependents, live in military housing off station with the rest living
65
in the surrounding communities. All totalled—military, civilians and dependents—NAS Miramar has an extended family of nearly 30,000.
NAS Miramar is part of the naval complex in San Diego County. Over 175,000 Department of Defense personnel work in San Diego with a total economic impact to the community of $9.5 billion annually. NAS Miramar accounts for over $700 million of this total. Overall, one in five dollars in the San Diego economy is a Navy dollar.
Installation Mission
NAS Miramar is the home of the jet fighter and early warning aircraft of the Pacific Fleet. The mission of the station is to maintain and operate facilities and provide services and materials to support operations of aviation activities and units of the operating forces of the Navy.
What is NAS Miramar doing?
The people stationed at NAS Miramar are aware of their responsibility to minimize noise levels and hazards for the residents of nearby communities. Since 1974, noise complaints at NAS Miramar have decreased from a high of over 2,000 to 210 in 1991. This decrease resulted from the installation of hush houses to suppress ground engine runups, noise abatement procedures, and changes to aircraft mix.

CLUP Composite Map CLUP Area
The NAS Miramar CLUP Composite Map shows a combination of noise and Accident Potential Zones (APZs). The noise descriptor used in this study is CNEL, which stands for Community Noise Equivalent Level. CNEL is the weighted average sound level for a 24-hour day. It is calculated by weighing evening and night operations five and ten times more than day operations, respectively, to adjust for the increased inflation caused by noise during evening and night hours. The depicted noise footprint ranges from 60 dB CNEL to 75 dB CNEL. The Accident Potential Zones represent areas that are overflown by aircraft and, therefore, more susceptible to accidents. The three APZs are APZ II, APZ I, and the Clear Zone; each progressively closer to the runway and potentially of most concern. The Land Use Compatibility Guidelines for noise and APZs promotes compatible development near the air station. The guidelines recommend restricting noise sensitive development in the high noise
66
zones, and restricting population density within the APZs. Zones of higher noise and accident potential have the smallest range of compatible land uses.
[MAP GRAPHIC]
Vicinity Map
Heights and Obstructions
In addition to noise and APZ considerations, height restrictions are necessary to insure that no object will interfere with safe operation of aircraft or deny operational capability of the air station. Any development proposal that includes an object over 200 feet above ground level (AGL) or which penetrates the 100:1 slope extending 20,000 feet from the nearest point of the nearest runway must be submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for an obstruction evaluation. SANDAG and NAS Miramar must also be notified of these proposals by the applicant. The following should also be examined for compatibility:

Residential Land uses include single family, duplex, mobile homes, multi-family, and residential homes. See 1992 CLUP petition for siting of flammable, hazardous and toxic materials within the APZs. It is suggested that lot coverage in APZ1 should be less than 25%; and less than 40% in APZ2.

If Subtenant fails to renew or replace the LOC at least thirty (30) days before its expiration, Sublandlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy it has, draw on the entire amount of the LOC, provided that if Sublandlord so draws on the LOC, so long as Subtenant is not otherwise in default, Sublandlord shall deliver the amount so drawn to Subtenant upon Subtenant's delivery to Sublandlord of a new LOC in the amount then required, provided that Subtenant makes such delivery within ten (10) days of Sublandlord's draw.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in the Agreement, and for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by the parties, the parties as follows,
1. Master Landlord's Consent. Master Landlord consents to the Sublease. This consent is granted only on the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement. Master Landlord is not bound by any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of the Sublease, except as set forth in Section 2.2 below. The Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Master Lease.
2. Limits of Consent.
2.1 Nonrelease of Sublandlord; Further Transfers. Neither the Sublease nor this Agreement will;
(a) release Sublandlord from any liability, whether past, present or future, under the Master Lease;
(b) alter the primary liability of Sublandlord to pay the Rent and perform all of Tenant's obligations under the Master Lease (including the payment of all bills rendered by Master Landlord for charges incurred by Subtenant for services and materials supplied to the Subleased Premises); or
(c) be construed as a waiver of Master Landlord's right to consent to any proposed transfer after the date hereof by Sublandlord under the Master Lease or Subtenant under the Sublease, or as a consent to any portion of the Subleased Premises being used or occupied by any other party. or

Master Landlord may consent to the subsequent sublease and assignment of the Sublease or any amendment or modifications to the Sublease without notifying Sublandlord of anyone else liable under the Master Lease, including any guarantor of the Master Lease, and without consent. No such action by Master Landlord will relieve those persons from any liability to Master Landlord or otherwise with regard to the Subleased Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall diminish any obligation of Subtenant to obtain Sublandlords' approval prior to taking any such actions.
2.2 Consent to Certain Provisions. Master Landlord specifically consents and agrees to be bound by the Section 4(d) of the Sublease: Section 4 (d). Such provisions will be binding on the Master Landlord in the event of any attorment between master Landlord and Subtenant following provisions of the Sublease: Paragraph 23 and 24.

Master Landlord will credit Sublandlord with any rent received by Master Landlord under this agreement, but the acceptance of any payment on account of rent from Subtenant as a result of a default by Sublandlord will not: (a) except as set forth in Section 3.3 below, be an attornment by Master Landlord to Subtenant or by Subtenant to Master Landlord; (b) be a waiver by Master Landlord of any provision of the Master Lease; or (c) release Sublandlord from any liability under the terms, agreements, or conditions of the

(b) liable for any act or omission of Sublandlord under the Master Lease or for any default of Sublandlord under the Sublease which occurred prior to the Master Landlord's assumption;
(c) subject to any defenses or offsets that Subtenant may have against Sublandlord which arose prior to Master Landlord's assumption; or
(d) bound by any changes or modifications made to the Sublease without the written consent of Master Landlord.
Upon receipt of the notice from Master Landlord, Subtenant shall attom to Master Landlord and perform all of the Subtenant's obligations under the Sublease directly to Master Landlord, just as if Master Landlord were the "Sublessor" under the Sublease. If and so long as Subtenant is not in substantial and material default (beyond any notice and cure periods) under the Sublease, Master Landlord shall continue to recognize the interest of Subtenant created under the Subtenant and the Sublease shall continue with the same force and effect as if Master Landlord and Subtenant had entered into a Sublease on the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Sublease.
Sublandlord and Subtenant shall not enter into any agreement which amends the Sublease without master Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any amendment of the Sublease in violation of this provision shall have no force or effect on Master Landlord.
