Re: CONSENT TO SUBLEASE TO MITEL, INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION FOR A PERIOD OF
THREE YEARS, COMMENCING DECEMBER 1, 1998 AND TERMINATING NOVEMBER 30, 2001
Gentlemen:
This letter is written with regard to your proposed sublease of approximately
33,600 square feet of space (as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto) (the "Sublet
Premises") of the 45,000 square feet of space leased by Tenant at 0000 Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, under Lease Agreement dated April 2, 1998
("Master Lease"), by and between Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Survivor's Trust and Xxxxxxx X.
Xxxxx Separate Property Trust ("Master Landlord"), and Transmeta Corporation, a
California corporation ("Tenant"), which Tenant is proposing to sublease to
Mitel, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Subtenant") on the terms and conditions
set forth in the proposed Sublease dated October 28, 1998, submitted by Tenant
to Master Landlord on October 29, 1998 (the "Sublease").
Pursuant to Master Lease Paragraph 19 ("Assignment and Subletting") Master
Landlord hereby approves Tenant's subleasing said space to Subtenant for the
thirty six month period ending November 30, 2001, subject to the following terms
and conditions:
1. Master Landlord's Consent shall in no way void or alter any of the terms
of the Lease by and between Master Landlord and Tenant, nor shall this
Consent alter or diminish in any way Tenant's obligations to Master
Landlord.
2. Tenant shall not give Subtenant any rights or privileges in excess of
those given Tenant under the terms of the Master Lease.
3. Subtenant shall not have a separate address from the address of the
Premises. Therefore, Tenant shall provide Subtenant with internal mail
delivery. Tenant and Subtenant shall share (the prorata shares to be
determined in a separate agreement between Tenant and Subtenant) the
existing signage allocated to Tenant for the Premises.
4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Master Landlord has not
reviewed the
9
terms of any agreement between Tenant and Subtenant, and in approving
said Sublease, Master Landlord is in no way approving any term, covenant
or condition therein contained, and said Sublease is subject and
subordinate to all terms, covenants and conditions of the Master Lease.
Master Landlord shall not be bound by any agreement other than the terms
of the Master Lease between Master Landlord and Tenant. Except as noted
herein, in the event of conflict in the terms, covenants and conditions
between the Sublease and the Master Lease, the terms, covenants and
conditions of the Master Lease shall prevail and take precedence over
said Sublease. Master Landlord does not make any warranties or
representations as to the condition of the Leased Premises or the terms
of the Lease between Master Landlord and Tenant. This Consent to
Sublease shall in no event be construed as consent to any future
sublease agreement (including any extensions and/or amendments to the
current Sublease) between Tenant and Subtenant, or any other party; and
any future sublease agreement (including any extensions and/or
amendments to the current Sublease) between Tenant and Subtenant, or any
other party shall require the prior written consent of Master Landlord.
Under no circumstances will Master Landlord consent to a sub-sublease or
assignment under the Sublease.
5. A. It is agreed by all parties hereto that in the event Master Landlord
terminates the Master Lease, pursuant to any right therein contained,
said Sublease shall automatically terminate simultaneously with the
Master Lease. Unless Master Landlord, at Master Landlord's sole option
and election, chooses to allow Subtenant to remain in possession of the
Sublet Premises leased under said Sublease subject to all terms,
covenants and conditions of said Master Lease by giving Subtenant
written notice prior to the effective date of termination of said Master
Lease, of Master Landlord's election to allow Subtenant to remain in
possession of the Sublet Premises in which event Subtenant shall be
entitled and obligated to remain in possession of the Sublet Premises
under the terms of said Sublease, subject to all terms, covenants and
conditions of the Master Lease, including, without limitation to,
payment of Basic Rent at the greater of: (i) the rate provided for in
the Master Lease, or (ii) the rate provided for in the Sublease. Such
election by Master Landlord shall not operate as a waiver of any claims
Master Landlord may have against Tenant. Following such written notice
by Master Landlord Subtenant shall then, as of the effective date of
said termination of said Master Lease, be liable to and shall attorn in
writing directly to Master Landlord as though said Sublease were
executed directly between Master Landlord and Subtenant; provided,
however, it is specifically agreed between the parties hereto, that
whether Master Landlord elects to allow Subtenant to remain in
possession of the Sublet Premises under the terms of the Sublease,
subject to the Master Lease, or allow said Sublease to automatically
terminate simultaneously with the Master Lease, Master Landlord shall
not, in any event, nor under any circumstances be responsible or liable
to Subtenant for (i) the return of any security deposit paid by
Subtenant to Tenant, nor shall Subtenant be given credit for any prepaid
rental or other monetary consideration paid by Subtenant to Tenant under
said Sublease; (ii) any other claim or damage of any kind or nature
whatsoever by reason of or in connection with Master Landlord's
termination of said Master Lease and/or Sublease; and (iii) any default
of Tenant under the Sublease.
10
B. In the event Master Landlord has terminated the Master Lease, and has
not elected, in writing prior to the effective date of termination of
said Master Lease, to allow Subtenant to remain in the Sublet Premises
as set forth above, said Sublease shall terminate co-terminously with
the effective termination of the Master Lease automatically, without
notice, and Subtenant and/or Tenant, jointly and severally, shall
surrender the Sublet Premises to Master Landlord in good condition and
repair as of the effective termination of the Master Lease, with Master
Landlord having no obligation or liability whatsoever to Subtenant by
reason of or in connection with such early termination of the Master
Lease. In the event Subtenant and/or Tenant fails to timely surrender
the Sublet Premises to Master Landlord in good condition and repair as
of the date the Master Lease terminates, Subtenant and/or Tenant,
jointly and severally, shall be liable to Master Landlord in such event
for all damages, costs, claims, losses, liabilities, fees or expenses
sustained by Master Landlord, including, but not limited to, loss of
rental income, attorney's fees and court costs resulting from or in
connection with Subtenant's failure to timely vacate the Sublet Premises
and surrender the Sublet Premises to Master Landlord as of the effective
termination date of said Master Lease.
C. As a condition to Landlord's consent to the Sublease, by execution of
this Consent to Sublease, Subtenant hereby agrees to be bound by the
following provision in relation to both Tenant and Master Landlord:
If Master Landlord and Tenant jointly and voluntarily elect, for
any reason whatsoever, to terminate the Master Lease prior to the
scheduled Master Lease Termination Date, then this Sublease (if
then still in effect) shall terminate concurrently with the
termination of the Master Lease. Subtenant expressly acknowledges
and agrees that (1) the voluntary termination of the Master Lease
by Master Landlord and Tenant and the resulting termination of this
Sublease shall not give Subtenant any right or power to make any
legal or equitable claim against Master Landlord, including without
limitation any claim for interference with contract or interference
with prospective economic advantage, and (2) Subtenant hereby
waives any and all rights it may have under law or at equity to
challenge such an early termination of the Sublease, and
unconditionally releases and relieves Master Landlord, and its
officers, directors, employees and agents, from any and all claims,
demands, and/or causes of action whatsoever (collectively,
"Claims"), whether such matters are known or unknown, latent or
apparent, suspected or unsuspected, foreseeable or unforeseeable,
which Subtenant may have arising out of or in connection with any
such early termination of this Sublease. Subtenant knowingly and
intentionally waives any and all protection which is or may be
given by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides
as follows: "A general release does not extend to claims which the
creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time
of executing the release, which if known by him must have
materially affected his settlement with debtor." The term of this
Sublease is therefore subject to early termination. Subtenant's
initials here below evidence (a) Subtenant's consideration of and
agreement to this early termination provision, (b) Subtenant's
acknowledgment that, in determining the net benefits to be derived
by
11
Subtenant under the terms of this Sublease, Subtenant has
anticipated the potential for early termination, and (c)
Subtenant's agreement to the general waiver and release of Claims
above.

6. In consideration of Master Landlord's consent to the Sublease, Tenant
irrevocably assigns to Master Landlord, as security for Tenant's
obligations under this Lease, all rent and income payable to Tenant
under the Sublease. Therefore Master Landlord may collect all rent due
under the Sublease and apply it towards Tenant's obligations under the
Master Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the
Master Lease, Tenant and Subtenant agree to pay same to Master Landlord
upon demand without further consent of Tenant and Subtenant required;
provided, however, that until the occurrence of a default by Tenant
under the Master Lease, Tenant shall have the right and obligation to
collect such rent. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs
Subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Master Landlord stating
that a default exists in the performance of Tenant's obligations under
the Master Lease, to pay to Master Landlord the rents due and to become
due under the Sublease. Tenant agrees that Subtenant shall have the
right to rely on any such statement and request from Master Landlord,
and that Subtenant shall pay such rents to Master Landlord without any
obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and
notwithstanding any notice or claim from Tenant to the contrary. Tenant
shall have no right or claim against Subtenant or Master Landlord for
any such rents so paid by Subtenant to Master Landlord. It is further
agreed between the parties hereto that neither Tenant's assignment of
such rent and income, nor Master Landlord's acceptance of any payment of
rental or other sum due by Subtenant to Tenant under said sublease,
whether payable directly to Master Landlord or endorsed to Master
Landlord by Tenant, shall in any way nor in any event be construed as
creating a direct contractual relationship between Master Landlord and
Subtenant, unless the Parties expressly so agree in writing and such
acceptance shall be deemed to be an accommodation by Master Landlord to,
