Landlord and Tenant specifically agree and acknowledge that the exact amount of such costs and damages would be difficult or impossible to prove.

Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that they have attempted to estimate the amount of costs and damages which would result from delay in payment, and that the agreed late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs and damages that Landlord will incur by reason of any such late payment in light of the anticipated or actual harm which would be caused by such delays, the difficulties of proof of loss, and the inconvenience or nonfeasibility of Landlord otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy. Additionally, all such delinquent rent or other sums, plus this late charge, shall bear interest at the rate per annum set forth in Section 1.9 above.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE This First Amendment to Leases entered into as of January 27, 1998, by and between Judd/King No. 1 ("Landlord") and Digirad Corporation, a Delaware Corporation ("Tenant") with reference to the following facts: A. On or about January 27, 1998, Landlord and Tenant entered into a lease ("Lease") for the premises described as follows: 9350 Trade Place, Suite A, San Diego, CA 92126. B. Landlord and Tenant now desire to amend the Lease as set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. CONDEMNATION. Section 17.4 of the Lease is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 17.4 AWARD. Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises as a result of any Condemnation for any payment under the threat of exercise of Condemnation shall be the property of Landlord, whether such Award shall be made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee or as severance damages or for any other reason; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled to any Award expressly and separately made for loss of or damage to Tenant's trade fixtures and removable personal property and relocation expenses. 2. DEFAULT. Section 19 of the Lease is hereby amended by adding thereto the following sentence: In addition, the occurrence of any of the following shall also constitute a default by Tenant: (i) the making by Tenant of any general arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) Tenant becomes a "debtor" as defined in 12 U.S.C. Section 101 or any successor statute thereto (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within 60 days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within 30 days; or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within 30 days. 3. SUBORDINATION. Section 22 of the Lease is hereby amended such that all references to a deed of trust or mortgage shall refer to a first and senior deed of trust or mortgage, as the case may be. 4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Section 27 of the Lease is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 27. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Tenant agrees that in the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default of this Lease by Landlord: a. The sole and exclusive remedy shall be against the property of which the Premises are a part; and b. Neither Landlord, any partner of Landlord if Landlord is a partnership, or any shareholder of Landlord if Landlord is a corporation shall be sued or named as a party in any suit or action (except as may be necessary to secure jurisdiction over the Property of which the Premises are a part), and no judgment may be taken against any such person. 5. LANDLORD SUCCESSORS. Section 28.6 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 28.6 LANDLORD SUCCESSORS. In the event of a sale, conveyance, foreclosure action or deed in lieu of foreclosure by Landlord of the Project, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any liability under this Lease, and in such event Landlord's successor in interest shall be solely responsible for all obligations of Landlord under this Lease arising after such sale or conveyance; provided however, such successor shall not be liable for any prior defaults of Landlord. 6. FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. Except as set forth herein, the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect.
