THIS SUBLEASE AGREEMENT (“Sublease”) is entered as of the Effective Date (defined below) by and between Sublandlord and Subtenant.
THE PARTIES ENTER this Sublease on the basis of the following facts, understandings and intentions:
A. Sublandlord is presently the lessee of the Building designated as Building 2 (hereinafter the “Building”) pursuant to the Master Lease entered into by and between Master Landlord and Sublandlord. A copy of the Master Lease, with all amendments, exhibits and addenda thereto, is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
B. Sublandlord desires to sublease the Premises to Subtenant and Subtenant desires to sublease the Premises from Sublandlord on all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth herein.
C. All of the terms and definitions in the Defined Terms of the Basic Sublease Information of this Sublease are incorporated herein by this reference. Unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings given them in the Master Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and promises of the parties, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
PREMISES
1.1 Lease of Premises. Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord the Premises, as designated in Exhibit 2, for the Term and upon all of the terms and conditions herein set forth. The Premises shall be used by Subtenant for the Permitted Use as set forth in the Basic Sublease Information. In addition, Sublandlord shall lease to Subtenant, and Subtenant shall lease from Sublandlord, any and all existing permanent improvements (“Improvements”) in the Premises upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained. As used herein, “Premises” shall include the Premises and the Improvements.
1.2 Subordinate Right of First Refusal for First Floor Space. Subject to Sublandlord’s right to lease all or any portion of the first (1st) Floor of the Building (“First Floor Space”) for use by Sublandlord or any Affiliate of Sublandlord, if at any time after June 1 2000, all or any portion of the First Floor Space becomes available for sublease, provided there is no continuing and uncured event of default by Subtenant under this Sublease, Subtenant shall have a right of first refusal (“Refusal Right”) to lease all or any such portion of the First Floor Space on the following terms and conditions: If Sublandlord receives a bona fide offer from any third party (“Third Party Offer”) to lease all or any portion of the First Floor Space on terms and conditions which Sublandlord desires to accept, Sublandlord shall, before accepting such Third Party Offer, provide Subtenant with written notice of the terms and conditions of the Third Party Offer and shall first offer to Subtenant the right to lease such space on the terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer. Subtenant shall have five (5) business days from Subtenant’s receipt of any such notice from Sublandlord within which to notify Sublandlord of Subtenant’s election to exercise the Refusal Right for such space. If Subtenant provides Sublandlord with notice of election not to exercise the Refusal Right within such five (5) business day period or fails to notify Sublandlord of its election with respect to the exercise of the Refusal Right within such five (5) business day period, then Sublandlord shall be free to lease that portion of the First Floor Space described
in the Third Party Offer without further notice to Subtenant. Upon the proper and timely exercise of this Refusal Right, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall enter into a written amendment to this Sublease specifying that the portion of the First Floor Space subject to the Refusal Right is a part of the Premises under this Sublease and containing other appropriate terms and provisions relating to the such space including, without limitation, any increase in Monthly Rent and Subtenant’s Share of Operating Expenses. Should Sublandlord, after having given notice to Subtenant of the Third Party Offer, fail to lease that portion of the First Floor Space on the terms and conditions set forth in the Third Party Offer, Sublandlord shall give Subtenant notice in the same manner set forth above of any subsequent Third Party Offers received by Sublandlord and the provisions of this section shall again be applicable to any such subsequent Third Party Offer. Despite the foregoing, if the Third Party Offer is received by Sublandlord at any time prior to December 31, 2001 and the term of the sublease set forth in such Third Party Offer is for a term (excluding options) which expires on or before August 30, 2005, then Subtenant shall be permitted to exercise Subtenant’s Refusal Right for a term which is coterminous with the initial five (5) year Term of this Sublease and, in such an event, the Third Party Offer shall be modified to reflect the fair market rent for such term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Third Party Offer for the First Floor Space is received by Sublandlord after the date on which Subtenant’s Extension Option (as described in Section 2.3 below) has either expired without effective exercise thereof by Subtenant or has been terminated in accordance with Section 2.3.1 of this Sublease, Subtenant shall have no Refusal Right with respect to such Third Party Offer.
1.3 Right to Measure. Sublandlord represents that the rentable and usable areas of the Premises, the Building and the Project have been determined in accordance with the standards set forth in ANSI Z65.1-1996, as promulgated by the Building Owners and Managers Association (“BOMA Standard”). Subtenant shall have the right, exercisable within fifteen (15) days after the Commencement Date, to remeasure the Premises, the Building and the Project within such fifteen (15) day period. In the event that subsequent remeasurement of the Premises, the Building and/or the Project by Subtenant, within the time period specified above, indicates that the square footage measurement prepared by Sublandlord produces a square footage number in excess of or lower than the square footage number which would have resulted had the BOMA Standard been properly utilized, any payments due to Sublandlord (including the number of parking spaces, the TI Allowance and Monthly Rent) from Subtenant based upon the amount of square feet contained in the Premises shall be proportionally, retroactively and prospectively reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect the actual number of square feet as properly remeasured under the BOMA Standard. Despite the foregoing, Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that any such measurements determined pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be effective only as between Sublandlord and Subtenant and shall not affect the amounts payable by Sublandlord to Master Landlord under the Master Lease.
1.4 Use of Outdoor Seating Area. Subtenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the outdoor patio area (“Patio”) adjacent to the Building for seating and dining purposes. The type and style of any furniture, umbrellas or any other items placed in the Patio by Subtenant, if any, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Sublandlord and Master Landlord. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord may establish reasonable and non-discriminatory rules and regulations for the use of the Patio by Subtenant and the other occupants of the Building. Subtenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to monitor the use of the Patio by Subtenant’s employees and invitees.

The Extension Option may be exercised by Subtenant, or by any “Affiliate” (as defined in Section 14.5 of the Master Lease) of Subtenant or any assignee of Subtenant approved by Sublandlord and Master Landlord as provided below.

Any repair or maintenance costs which are covered by a warranty or maintenance contract shall be imputed into Operating Expenses for the Base Year.
3.2.2 Subtenant’s Monthly Charge. Beginning on January 1, 2001, and on the first day of each calendar month for the remainder of the Term, Subtenant shall pay as additional rent, Subtenant’s applicable share of all increases in such Common Area Operating Expenses and Building Operating Expenses over such expenses for the Base Year as more particularly described in Section 3.2.3 below. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord all of Subtenant’s applicable share of Common Area Operating Expenses and Building Operating Expenses at the same time and in the same manner as Sublandlord is

Within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord’s receipt of Master Landlord’s Actual Statement of Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 4.7 of the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant a statement (“Subtenant’s Actual Statement”) which states in reasonable detail (i) the total of the Common Area Operating Expenses and Building Operating Expenses for the preceding year ; and (ii) Sublandlord’s calculation of Subtenant’s applicable share of the increases in the actual Common Area Operating Expenses and Building Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year. If Subtenant’s Actual Statement reveals that Subtenant’s applicable share of the actual Common Area Operating Expenses and Building Operating Expenses is more than the total estimate of such expenses paid by Subtenant on account of the preceding calendar year, Subtenant agrees to pay Sublandlord the difference in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of receipt of Subtenant’s Actual Statement. If the Subtenant’s Actual Statement reveals that Subtenant’s applicable share of the actual Common Area Operating Expenses and Building Operating Expenses is less than the estimated amounts paid by Subtenant for such operating expenses on account of the preceding calendar year, Sublandlord will reimburse such amount to Subtenant within thirty (30) days of the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. In the event Sublandlord fails to reimburse Subtenant as provided herein, Sublandlord shall, following an additional five (5) business days prior written notice to Sublandlord, be permitted to credit any overpayment toward the next monthly installment(s) of Subtenant’s applicable share of such Operating Expenses due under this Sublease. Such obligation will be a continuing one which will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

To the extent Subtenant requires the use of the HVAC system in excess of normal first-class office building operating hours, then Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as additional Rent, the charge for such additional HVAC service at the actual cost to Sublandlord (without profit or overhead to Sublandlord) as reasonably determined by a licensed and qualified mechanical engineer, with Sublandlord reserving the right to adjust such rate from time to time during the Term of this Sublease, provided that such rate is the actual cost to Sublandlord (without profit or overhead to Sublandlord) and is consistent with the rates then being charged by landlords of similar Class ”A” office/research and development buildings in the market area of the Building. In addition, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as additional Rent, the charge for any additional maintenance to the HVAC system serving the Premises to the extent such maintenance is reasonably required as a result of any such excess usage by Subtenant.
3.4 Rent. As used in this Sublease, “Rent” shall include Monthly Rent and all additional rent and other charges to be paid by Subtenant pursuant to this Sublease.
3.5 Late Payment Charges and Interest. If any installment of Rent is not paid promptly on the first of the month or otherwise when due, the unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the Interest Rate specified in Section 1.11 of the Summary of the Master Lease from the date due to the date of payment. In addition, Subtenant acknowledges that the late payment of any installment of Rent will cause
8
Sublandlord to incur certain costs and expenses not contemplated under this Sublease, the exact amount of which are extremely difficult or impractical to fix. These costs and expenses will include, without limitation, administrative and collection costs and processing and accounting expenses. Therefore, if any installment of rent is not received by Sublandlord from Subtenant within five (5) days of the date when the installment is due, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord a charge for administration collection and accounting expenses in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of such delinquent amounts due for the first late charge in any calendar year following a five (5) day cure period after notice from Sublandlord that such amount was not received when due, and ten percent (10%) of the amount of such delinquent amounts due for the second and any subsequent late charge in any calendar year (without notice for any subsequent late charge) in addition to the installment of Rent then owing with interest at the Interest Rate, regardless of whether or not a notice of default or notice of termination has been given by Sublandlord. Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that the late payment charge represents a reasonable estimate of Sublandlord’s costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Sublandlord for its loss suffered by Subtenant’s nonpayment of any amounts when due and payable pursuant to this Sublease. This provision shall not relieve Subtenant from payment of Rent at the time and in the manner herein specified.
3.6 Security Deposit. Upon the execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord a Security Deposit in the amount set forth in Basic Sublease Information as security for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this Sublease to be performed by Subtenant. If Subtenant defaults (with all applicable cure periods having expired) with respect to any provision of this Sublease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, Sublandlord may, upon giving an additional five (5) business days written notice to Subtenant, use, apply, or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent and any other sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount which Sublandlord spends or becomes obligated to spend by reason of Subtenant’s default, including legal fees and other costs of collection, or to compensate Sublandlord for any other loss or damage which Sublandlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant’s default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Subtenant shall, within ten (10) days of written demand therefor, deposit cash with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Subtenant’s failure to do so shall be a breach of this Sublease. No interest shall be paid on the Security Deposit. Sublandlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and no trust relationship is created with respect to the Security Deposit. If Subtenant is not in default at the expiration or termination of this Sublease, and subject to Sublandlord’s inspection of the Premises following such expiration or termination, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Subtenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Subtenant’s interest hereunder) within twenty one (21) days following the expiration or termination of the Term and upon Subtenant’s vacation of the Premises, subject to the Premises being returned to the Sublandlord in the condition required by this Sublease. Subtenant may not credit the Security Deposit to the last month’s Monthly Rent hereunder.

10
Landlord.

Subtenant shall have the right to remove and retain such equipment, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, at any time during, or upon expiration of, the Term, provided Subtenant promptly repairs all damage to the Building and/or Project caused by any such removal. Despite anything in this Sublease to the contrary, Subtenant specifically acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant may only use the back-up generator during (i) testing and regular maintenance, and (ii) any period of electrical power outage. Subtenant further agrees that Subtenant shall be entitled to operate the back-up generator for testing and regular maintenance only upon reasonable advance notice to Sublandlord and Master Landlord and at times reasonably approved by Master Landlord.
