2. PREMISES AND COMMON AREAS.

(a) Subject to all the provisions of this Lease, Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises, which Premises are improved or to be improved by Landlord with the Work described in the Premises Preparation Agreement attached as Exhibit B hereto, those Premises being agreed to have the Approximate Rentable Square Feet designated in Subparagraph 1(b).

(b) Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right to use, in common with other present and future tenants in the Building, the following areas (“Common Areas”) appurtenant to the Premises, subject to the Rules and Regulations referred to in Paragraph 30 and to other reasonable rules and regulations which Landlord may deem advisable for the Common Areas (including without limitation the hours during which they are open for use):

(i) The Building’s common entrances, lobbies, rest rooms not within a suite, stairways and accessways, loading docks, ramps, drives and platforms and any passageways and serviceways thereto, and the common pipes, conduits, wires and appurtenant equipment serving the Premises;

(ii) Loading and unloading areas, trash areas, parking areas, and similar areas and facilities appurtenant to the Building;

(iii) The roadways, sidewalks, walkways, parkways, driveways and landscaped areas and similar areas and facilities within the Project which are made available for the use or benefit of all Project tenants and their invitees and other visitors; and

(iv) The parking areas, including driveways and alleys and other improvements, as depicted on attached Exhibit A-2.

(i) To install, use, maintain, repair and replace pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment for service to other parts of the Building above the ceiling surfaces, below the floor surfaces, within the walls and in the central core areas, and to relocate any pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment included in the Premises which are located in the Premises or located elsewhere outside the Premises, and to expand the Building and the Project;

(ii) To make changes to the Common Areas, including, without limitation, changes in the location, size, shape and number of driveways, entrances, parking spaces, parking areas, loading and unloading areas, ingress, egress, direction of traffic, landscaped areas and walkways;


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-2-

(iii) To temporarily close or designate for other uses any of the Common Areas for purposes of improvement, maintenance or repair, so long as reasonable access to the Premises remains available;

(iv) To designate other land outside the boundaries of the Building to be a part of the Common Areas;

(v) To add additional buildings and improvements to the Common Areas or the Project;

(vi) To use the Common Areas while engaged in making additional improvements, repairs or alterations to the Building or the Project, or any portion thereof; and

(vii) To do and perform such other acts and make such other changes in, to or with respect to the Common Areas as Landlord may deem to be appropriate.

The preceding reservation of rights to use the Common Areas shall not impose on Landlord any obligation to maintain or repair the Common Areas or any other portion of the Premises except as expressly set forth in this Lease.

3. TERM. The Term shall be for the period designated in Subparagraph 1(l), beginning on the Commencement Date under Subparagraph 1(d) and ending on the expiration of that period, unless the Lease shall be terminated sooner as hereinafter provided.

4. POSSESSION. If Landlord is unable to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. However, if commencement of the Term is delayed beyond the Commencement Date, Tenant shall not be liable for any rent until Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant with the Work (as defined in Exhibit “B” (Premises Preparation Agreement)) substantially completed, and the expiration date of the Term may be correspondingly extended at Landlord’s reasonable discretion by written notice to Tenant. If the Term has not commenced within 60 days after the Commencement Date, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to the other within fifteen (15) days after the end of that 60-day period, without prejudice to any rights either party may have against the other. However, to the extent Landlord’s inability to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Commencement Date is caused by Tenant’s negligence or breach of this Lease, or by other delays (including without limitation those listed in) Subparagraphs 3(a) through 3(e) of the Premises Preparation Agreement caused by Tenant or its agents or contractors (collectively, “Tenant Delays”), the commencement of the Term for all purposes under this Lease shall be accelerated by the number of days of those Tenant Delays.

5. MONTHLY BASIC RENT.

(a) Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as Monthly Basic Rent for the Premises the Monthly Basic Rent designated in Subparagraph 1(f) in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Term. If the Term commences or ends on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the rent for such period shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect during such period bears to thirty (30). In addition to the Monthly Basic Rent, Tenant agrees to pay as additional rental the amount of rental adjustments and other charges required by this Lease. In no event shall Monthly Basic Rent ever be less than the initial Monthly Basic Rent. All rental shall be paid to Landlord, without prior demand and without any deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America, at the address of Landlord designated in Subparagraph 1(a) or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-3-

(b) Rent and all other payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed to be and treated as rent and payable and recoverable as “rent”, and Landlord shall have the same rights against Tenant for default in any such payment as in the case of nonpayment of Monthly Basic Rent.

(c) If Tenant fails to pay any installment of rent within ten (10) days following the date due (which ten days is not intended to be a grace period) or if Tenant fails to make any other payment for which Tenant is obligated under this Lease when due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of the amount due to compensate Landlord for the extra costs incurred as a result of such late payment. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies available to Landlord.

(d) If the amount of rent or any other payment due under this Lease now or in the future violates the terms of any governmental restrictions on such rent or payment, then the rent or payment due during the period of such restrictions shall be the maximum amount allowable under those restrictions. Upon termination of the restrictions, Landlord shall, to the extent it is legally permitted, recover from Tenant the difference between the amounts received during the period of the restrictions and the amounts Landlord would have received had there been no restrictions.

6. OPERATING EXPENSES.

(a) For purposes of this Lease, the following terms are defined as follows:

(i) “Tenant’s Percentage” shall have the meaning set forth in Subparagraph 1(k).

(ii) “HVAC Costs” means all costs incurred in the operation, repair and maintenance and replacement of the systems for heating, ventilating and air conditioning the buildings in the Project including, without limitation, supplies, materials, equipment, tools, and contracted services.

(iii) “Taxes and Assessments” shall mean: (1) Real property taxes and fees and expenses incurred in contesting the amount or validity of any real property tax; (2) Any assessment, fee, tax, levy, charge, penalty or similar imposition imposed by any authority, improvement district or special assessment district upon or in respect of the Premises, Building, Project, or Common Areas, or any portion thereof, including any such charges imposed for the use or occupancy of the Building, Project, or Premises, or upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party; (3) Any new or increased assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included under Subparagraphs 6(a)(iii)(1) and (2), including, without limitation, increases due to tax rate increases or reassessment of the Premises, Building, Common Areas, or Project, or any portion thereof, for any reason; (4) Any assessment Landlord must pay as owner of the Building, Project, or Common Areas pursuant to any present or future covenants, conditions or restrictions, easement agreements, tenancy in common agreements or similar restrictions affecting the Building, Premises, Project, or Common Areas, or any portion thereof; (5) Any tax or fee on personal property used in connection with the Building, Project, or Common Areas; and (6) All payroll taxes on salaries of personnel to the extent used in the direct management, maintenance or operation of the Building, Project, or Common Areas.

(iv) “Insurance Costs” means all costs of premiums for insurance that Landlord procures under this Lease or for or in connection with the Project, including, without limitation, any insurance which any beneficiary or mortgagee with a lien affecting the Premises deems necessary or requires in connection with the ownership or operation of the Building, Common Areas, or Project.

(v) “Capital Costs” means all costs incurred to make any structural and non-structural capital improvements repairs or replacements to the Building, Project, or Common Areas, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, structural additions or repairs, which: (1) are now or may hereafter be


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-4-

required by any statute, ordinance or regulation of any governmental or enforcement agency; or (2) are needed to operate and maintain the Building, Project, or Common Areas, or any portion thereof, at the same quality levels as prior to the improvement or repair or to provide substantially the same level of services to tenants of the Project as are provided to tenants of comparable buildings.

(b) “Operating Expenses” shall consist of all direct costs of ownership, operation, repair or maintenance (including necessary supplies, material, tools and equipment) of the Building, Project, or Common Areas, including any expansions of the Building, Project, or Common Areas by Landlord, or any portion thereof, and all indirect costs that are reasonably attributable to the operation, repair and maintenance of the Building, Project, and Common Areas, or any portion thereof, for any calendar year (and if the Project is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied, then the Operating Expenses will be calculated assuming the in ninety-five percent (95%) occupied for a full calendar year), including costs for the following by way of illustration, but not limitation:

HVAC Costs; Taxes and Assessments; Insurance Costs; Capital Costs; costs connected with providing electrical, telephone, cable and other electronic data transmission services (including, without limitation, any costs (whether or not Capital Costs) arising from the maintenance, repair and/or replacement of all or any component of electrical, plumbing, mechanical, lighting, HVAC or other building systems, and/or the maintenance, repair and/or replacement of lighting fixtures, light bulbs, air filtration or distribution devices (provided that Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any utilities), window panes, window coating and/or other energy-saving measures); janitorial service and window cleaning; waste disposal; parking facilities; Common Areas signage; landscaping and gardening; security; and accounting, legal, administrative and consulting fees.

Operating Expenses shall also include costs incurred in the management of the Building, Project, and Common Areas (including, without limitation, wages and salaries and related benefits for personnel to the extent used in the management, operation and maintenance of the Building, Project, or Common Areas, and Project management office rental and supplies) and a management fee equal five percent (5%) of all sources of Landlord’s gross revenue generated at the Project for the calendar year, including, without limitation, Monthly Basic Rent and Operating Expenses. For purposes of this Subparagraph 6(b), if the Project is less than ninety-five percent (95%) occupied, Operating Expenses shall be deemed to have been paid for ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Square Feet in the Project for a full calendar year.

(c) Except only for (i) any interest, points and fees on debts or amortization on any mortgage or mortgages or other debt instrument evidencing indebtedness of Landlord and (ii) costs arising from the payment of any claims against Landlord (for which Tenant is not responsible) secured by judgments or liens against the Premises, this Lease is and shall be construed as a “triple net” lease arrangement, the Monthly Basic Rent shall be completely net to the Landlord, and Tenant shall be directly responsible for and pay Tenant’s Percentage of all Operating Expenses as set forth in clauses (i) through (v), below:

(i) Beginning with the Commencement Date and on or before the expiration of each one (1) year period thereafter (each, a “Lease Year”), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an estimate of Tenant’s Percentage of annual Operating Expenses payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments on the first day of every month as additional rent together with Tenant’s payment of Monthly Basic Rent. Landlord may from time to time during the Lease Year revise Landlord’s estimate of annual Operating Expenses and Tenant’s monthly estimated payments. If after the first Lease Year Landlord has not furnished Tenant with a written estimate for any Lease Year, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments of Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses at the rate established for the immediately preceding Lease Year (if applicable), provided that, when a written estimate of Operating Expenses for the current Lease Year is delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall, on or before the next monthly payment date, pay all accrued and unpaid monthly estimates based on the new estimate.

(ii) On or before May 1 of each Lease Year after the first Lease Year (or as soon thereafter as is practical) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement (the “Statement”) setting out Tenant’s Percentage of actual Operating Expenses for the immediately preceding Lease Year. If Tenant’s Percentage of


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-5-

actual Operating Expenses for the previous Lease Year differs from the total estimated monthly payments of Tenant’s Percentage of Operating Expenses made by Tenant for such Lease Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of the deficiency within ten (10) days of receipt of the Statement or Landlord shall credit the difference, as the case may be; in the case of a credit due, Landlord shall credit against Tenant’s next ensuing installment(s) of Monthly Basic Rent an amount equal to the difference until the credit is exhausted. If a credit is due from Landlord on the last day of the Term, Landlord shall credit against any payments due from Tenant under this Lease an amount equal to the credit or, if no payments are due, or may become due from Tenant, Landlord shall pay Tenant the amount of the credit. The obligations of Tenant and Landlord to make payments required under this Paragraph 6 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

(iii) If any dispute arises as to the accuracy of Operating Expenses as set forth in the Statement, Tenant shall nevertheless make the payment in accordance with any notice given by Landlord, but Tenant shall have the right, after reasonable notice and at reasonable times, to inspect Landlord’s accounting records at Landlord’s accounting office and, if after such inspection, Tenant still disputes the amount of Operating Expenses owed, Landlord shall immediately refer the matter for prompt certification by mutually agreed to 3^rd party certified public accountants, who shall be deemed to be acting as experts and not arbitrators, which certification shall be conclusive and binding on both parties. Any adjustment required to any previous payment made by Tenant or Landlord by reason of any such decision shall be made within ten (10) days of such certification. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such certification unless it is determined that Landlord’s original Statement overstated Operating Expenses by more than five percent (5%).

(iv) Operating Expenses due from Tenant in any Lease Year which has less than 365 days because the Term expires on other than the last day of that Lease Year shall be prorated on a per-day basis.

(v) Without limiting the foregoing, including Landlord’s right to adjust the estimate of Operating Expenses from time to time, should Landlord incur any Capital Costs, Landlord may elect, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, to require payment of Tenant’s percentage of such Capital Costs within thirty (30) business days following demand therefor together with such supporting documentation as Tenant may reasonably require.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained immediately above, as to each specific category of expense which one or more tenants of the Project either pays directly to third parties or actually reimburses Landlord (for example, separately metered utilities, property taxes directly reimbursed to Landlord, etc.) then each such expense which is actually paid or reimbursed shall not be included in “Operating Expenses” for purposes of this Paragraph 6. Tenant’s Percentage for each such category of expense shall be adjusted by excluding from the denominator thereof the Rentable Square Feet of all such tenants paying such category of expense directly to third parties or actually reimbursing same directly to Landlord. Moreover, if Tenant directly pays a third party or actually reimburses Landlord for any such category of expense, each such category of expenses which is paid or actually reimbursed by Tenant shall be excluded from the determination of Operating Expenses for Tenant to the extent such expense (after deduction of that portion paid or directly reimbursed by Tenant) was incurred with respect to space in the Project actually leased to other tenants.

7. SECURITY DEPOSIT. The Security Deposit designated in Subparagraph 1(h) shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. If Tenant breaches any obligation under this Lease, including, without limitation, under provisions relating to the payment of rent, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default or to help to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, upon demand, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform all of its


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-6-

obligations under this Lease, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last permitted assignee of Tenant’s interests under this Lease) at the expiration of the Term, provided that Landlord may retain the Security Deposit until such time as any amount due from Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 6 has been determined and paid in full. If Landlord sells its interest in the Premises during the Term Landlord shall transfer to the purchaser of the Premises the then unappropriated portion of the Security Deposit, Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to the Security Deposit.

8. USE.

(a) Tenant shall use the Premises only for the use set forth in Subparagraph 1(m), and shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Tenant any exclusive right to such use in the Building or Project or shall be deemed to be a warranty by Landlord that the Premises are suitable for a particular use. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises in violation of any present or future applicable law, and shall, upon written notice from Landlord, discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any applicable governmental authority to be a violation of law. Tenant shall comply with any direction of any such governmental authority which shall, by reason of the nature of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to the Premises or with respect to the use or occupation thereof. Notwithstanding any circumstantial factors judicially developed as a means of allocating the obligation to make alterations to the Premises in order to comply with present or future laws, it is the intention of the parties that such obligations with respect to the Premises are those of the Tenant and are accordingly reflected in rental payments and other consideration under this Lease. Tenant shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of such generally recognized fire rating organization(s) as Landlord may specify from time to time. Tenant shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for any additional insurance premium charged by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 8. Tenant shall take all steps required to ensure that neither Tenant nor its contractors or invitees (i) violate any governmental regulations, ordinances, or laws applicable to the Premises, (ii) do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or Project, or injure or annoy them, (iii) use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, or (iv) cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall comply with all present and future covenants, conditions, and restrictions or other restrictive covenants and obligations, which affect the use and operation of the Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or the Project, or any portion thereof. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste in or upon the Premises and shall keep the Premises in first-class repair and appearance. Tenant shall not place a load upon the Premises exceeding the average pounds of live load per square foot of floor area specified for the Building by Landlord’s architect, with partitions to be considered a part of the live load. Landlord reserves the right to prescribe the weight and position of all files, safes and heavy equipment which Tenant desires to place in the Premises so as to properly distribute the weight thereof. Further, Tenant’s business machines and mechanical equipment which cause vibration or noise that may be transmitted to the Building structure or to any other space in the Building or Project shall be so installed, maintained and used by Tenant as to eliminate such vibration or noise. Tenant shall be responsible for all structural engineering required to determine structural load in the Premises.

(b) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. Section 12101 et seq.) and regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder, as all of the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time (collectively, “ADA”) establish requirements for business operations, accessibility and barrier removal, and that such requirements may or may not apply to the Premises, the Building and the Project depending on, among other things: (1) whether Tenant’s business is deemed a “public accommodation” or “commercial facility”, (2) whether such requirements are “readily achievable”, and (3) whether a given alteration affects a “primary function area” or triggers “path of travel” requirements. The parties hereby agree that: (a) Landlord shall be responsible for ADA Title III compliance in the Common Areas, except as provided below, (b) Tenant shall be responsible for ADA Title III compliance in the Premises, including any tenant improvements or other work to be performed in the Premises under or in connection with this Lease, (c) Landlord may perform or require that Tenant perform, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of, ADA Title III “path of


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-7-

travel” requirements triggered by Tenant Alterations in the Premises, and (d) Landlord may perform, or require Tenant to perform, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of, ADA Title III compliance in the Common Areas necessitated by the Building being deemed to be a “public accommodation” instead of “commercial facility” as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant shall be solely responsible for requirements under Title I of the ADA relating to Tenant’s employees.

9. NOTICES. Any notice, consent, or approval required or permitted to be given under this Lease must be in writing and may be given by personal delivery or by mail, and shall be deemed sufficiently given when actually received by the intended party, whether personally delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, if to Tenant at the address designated in Subparagraph 1(a) until the commencement of the Term only, and thereafter at the Premises, and if to Landlord at the addresses designated in Subparagraph 1(a). Either party may specify a different address for notice purposes by written notice to the other,.

10. BROKERS. Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease, except the Broker(s) (named in Subparagraph 1(c)). Tenant agrees to indemnify and defend Landlord from any cost, expense or liability for any compensation, fee, commission or charge claimed by any other party claiming by, through or on behalf of Tenant with respect to this Lease. Landlord, at Landlord’s expense will compensate Broker pursuant to a commission agreement with Broker.

11. HOLDING OVER. Tenant shall vacate the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for and indemnify Landlord against all damages and liability which Landlord incurs from Tenant’s delay in vacating the Premises, including, without limitation, claims by and liability to any succeeding tenant founded on such delay and any attorneys’ fees and costs. If Tenant does not vacate the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and Landlord thereafter accepts rent from Tenant, Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall be a “month-to-month” tenancy, subject to all of the terms of this Lease applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, except that the Monthly Basic Rent then in effect shall be increased by one hundred percent (100%).

12. TAXES ON TENANT’S PROPERTY.

(a) Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay, at least ten (10) days before delinquency, all taxes levied against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of the Premises is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant and if Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based upon such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof, but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall, upon demand, repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord, or the portion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment.

(b) If the tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed by Landlord or Tenant, or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which tenant improvements conforming to Landlord’s standards for other space in the Building are assessed, then the real property taxes and assessments levied against the Building by reason of such higher assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Subparagraph 12(a). If the records of the County Assessor are not available or sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for determining whether the tenant improvements are subject to a higher valuation than improvements conforming to Landlord’s Building standards, the actual cost of construction shall be used.

(c) Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or by any payments to be made by Tenant under this Lease, including, without limitation, any gross income tax or excise tax levied by any governmental agency or political subdivision thereof with respect to the receipt of rent or other payments under a lease, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management,

maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof, shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of Subparagraph 12(a).

13. CONDITION OF PREMISES. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord’s lease of the Premises to Tenant shall be on an “AS IS” basis without representations or warranties express or implied, and Tenant’s taking of possession of the Premises shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the Building were in satisfactory condition at the time of that possession (excluding latent defects and those items normally associated with a “punch list”). Tenant accepts that from time to time there may be construction and improvement work by Landlord on other space in the Building and to the Common Areas and other portions of the Project, and that such work may cause intermittent noise, vibrations, or other temporary inconveniences; provided, however, Landlord will take steps reasonably necessary and feasible to minimize inconveniences to Tenant and Tenant’s employees and visitors.

14. ALTERATIONS.

(a) Tenant shall make no alterations, additions, repairs or improvements to the Premises (collectively, “Alteration(s)”) except as expressly permitted by this Paragraph 14. Tenant shall have no right to make any Alterations to the structural portions of the Building, which shall include the foundation, floor/ceiling slabs, roof, curtain walls, exterior glass and mullions, columns, beams, shafts, stairs, stairwells, escalators, plazas, artwork, sculptures, washrooms, mechanical, electrical and telephone closets and all Common Areas and public areas and the mechanical, electrical, life safety, plumbing, sprinkler systems and HVAC systems (collectively, “Building Structure and Systems”). Landlord’s consent to any other Alteration (i.e., other than to an Alteration to any portion or component of the Building Structure and Systems or that, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, could adversely affect any portion of the Building Structure and Systems) shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Paragraph 14, Tenant may install normal office decorations (e.g., paintings) in the Premises without obtaining Landlord’s consent.

(b) Landlord may condition its consent to any type of Alteration on such requirements as Landlord may deem necessary in its subjective, good faith discretion, including without limitation: (i) the manner in which the work is to be done, (ii) the right of approval over the entity which shall perform, or contract to perform, the work (which approval may be withheld if, among other things, that entity is not properly licensed under all applicable laws or if Landlord deems the insurance carried by that entity to be inadequate), (iii) the times during which the work is to be accomplished, (iv) the issuance at Tenant’s sole cost of a performance or labor and material payment bond ensuring lien-free completion of the proposed Alterations, (v) delivery to Landlord of preliminary and final sets of plans for the proposed Alterations, or (vi) modification of the proposed Alterations to conform to Landlord’s subjective opinion about the appearance of the proposed Alterations. Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) business days prior written notice of the expected commencement date of any work related to the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining all permits required by law for all work done by Tenant under this Lease and Tenant warrants that such work shall comply with all applicable governmental laws, codes, or ordinances, including, without limitation, the ADA.

(c) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, all or any part of the Alterations to or in connection with the Premises shall become the property of Landlord and remain and be surrendered with the Premises. All articles of personal property and all business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, furniture and movable partitions owned by Tenant (“Tenant’s Effects”) shall be and remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term when Tenant is not in default under this Lease. If Tenant fails to remove all of Tenant’s Effects from the Premises upon termination of this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, remove Tenant’s Effects and store Tenant’s Effects without liability to Tenant for loss of Tenant’s Effects. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord upon demand any and all expenses incurred by Landlord in removing Tenant’s Effects, including court costs, attorneys’ fees and storage charges on Tenant’s Effects, for any length of time that Tenant’s Effects shall be in Landlord’s possession. Landlord may, at its option, without notice, sell Tenant’s Effects, or any of the same, at a private sale and without legal process, for such price as Landlord may obtain, and apply the


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-9-

proceeds of such sale to any amounts due under this Lease from Tenant to Landlord and to the expenses incident to the removal and sale of Tenant’s Effects. Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code sections 1980-1991.

15. REPAIRS.

(a) Tenant shall keep, maintain and preserve the Premises in first-class condition and repair, and shall, when and if needed, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, make all repairs to the Premises and every part thereof, including, without limitation, the interior surfaces of the ceilings, walls and floors, all doors, all interior windows, all non-standard plumbing, pipes, electrical wiring, light fixtures and bulbs, switches, furnishings, signs and special items and equipment installed by or at the expense of Tenant. Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof. Tenant and Landlord affirm that Landlord has made no representations to Tenant respecting the condition of the Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, or the Project except as specifically set forth in this Lease.

(b) Anything contained in Paragraph 15(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall repair and maintain the structural portions of the Building and the Building standard plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and electrical systems, unless such maintenance and repairs are required in part or in whole by the act, neglect or omission of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or invitees, in which case Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the reasonable cost of such maintenance and repairs. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. Except as provided in Paragraph 23, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building, the Premises, the Common Areas, or the Project or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under any law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. No provision of this Lease shall be construed as obligating Landlord to perform any repairs, alterations or decorations except as otherwise expressly provided under this Lease.

(c) As between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord is recognized as the owner of telephone, cable, and any fiber optic wiring serving the Premises (collectively, the “Building Cable”) whether installed as of or following the Commencement Date, except as is specially installed by Tenant for development, demonstration, or testing of Tenant’s products.. Tenant shall be responsible for the maintenance of all Building Cable. Tenant’s access to the Common Areas for the purposes of installing and maintaining the Building Cable is conditioned upon Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s service contract and appropriate insurance policies being obtained by the entity installing the Building Cable. Landlord shall not be responsible and shall have no liability for interruption in or failures of telephone or electronic data transmission services. Tenant shall abide by all reasonable, written and nondiscriminatory rules and regulations hereafter promulgated by Landlord regarding access to the Building Cable. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, actual attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord and related to Tenant’s access to or work performed in connection with the Building Cable.

(d) Landlord shall keep in effect, as part of Operating Expenses, the following maintenance and service contracts: (i) landscaping, (ii) heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, (iii) boiler, fired or unfired pressure vessels, (iv) fire sprinkler and/or standpipe and hose or other automatic fire extinguishing systems, including fire alarm and/or smoke detection systems, (v) roof covering and drain maintenance, (vii) asphalt and parking lot maintenance, and (viii) janitorial service for the Project and the Premises.

16. LIENS. Tenant shall not permit any mechanics’, materialmens’ or other liens to be filed against any portion of the Building or the Project or against Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises. Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. If any such liens are filed, Landlord may, without waiving its rights and remedies based on such breach of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations, cause such liens to be released by


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-10-

any means it shall deem proper, including payments in satisfaction of the claim giving rise to such lien. Tenant shall pay to Landlord at once, upon notice by Landlord, any sum paid by Landlord to remove such liens, together with interest on that sum at (a) the maximum rate permitted by then-existing usury law, if applicable, or (b) if the then-existing usury law is not applicable, one and one-half percent (1¹/2%) per month (“Lease Interest Rate”) from the date of Landlord’s payment.

17. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves and shall at all times have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, to supply janitor service and any other service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants, to post notices of non-responsibility, to alter, improve or repair the Premises or any other portion of the Building, without any such act being deemed an eviction of Tenant and without abatement of rent. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the Premises and into the Building for the purpose of performing any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed following a Tenant default pursuant to Paragraph 25, below, and Tenant shall pay all costs incurred by Landlord at the Lease Interest Rate. Landlord may, in order to carry out all such purposes, erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed. Tenant waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss in, upon and about the Premises resulting from any entry permitted under this paragraph. Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all doors in the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults and safes. Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open any door in an emergency in order to obtain entry to or within the Premises. Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any means shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof, and any damages caused on account thereof shall be paid by Tenant if that entry was caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents or contractors.

18. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Tenant represents that it is familiar with the standards for all utilities servicing the Premises, including, without limitation, the capacity of the feeders to the Building and the risers and wiring installations and standards set forth in attached Exhibit D. Tenant shall contract directly with all utility companies and similar providers for utilities and services to the Premises and pay directly for all such services (which shall include, without limitation, all water, sewer, electrical, cable and other electronic data transmission services), and Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any such services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any installation of utility lines, including, without limitation, Building Cable whether or not through any existing conduits or risers, and any trenching over the Premises to install wiring or cable, whether or not over existing utility easements, shall be considered an alteration to the Building Structure and Systems. Unless directly caused by the gross active negligence or the intentional misconduct of Landlord, the interruption of any utilities or services to the Building shall not result in any liability of Landlord, Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason of such failure (whether such failure affects HVAC services or otherwise), no eviction of Tenant shall result from such failure, and Tenant shall not be relieved from the performance of any covenant or agreement in this Lease because of such failure. Any such interruption shall include, without limitation, failure of services caused by (i) accident, breakage or repairs; (ii) strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbance or labor dispute of any character; (iii) governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action; (iv) inability despite the exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain electricity, water or fuel; or (v) any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control.

19. BANKRUPTCY. If Tenant shall file a petition in bankruptcy under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code as then in effect, or if Tenant shall be adjudicated a bankrupt in involuntary bankruptcy proceedings and such adjudication shall not have been vacated within thirty (30) days from the date thereof, or if a receiver or trustee of Tenant’s property shall be appointed and the order appointing such receiver or trustee shall not be set aside or vacated within thirty (30) days after the entry thereof, or if Tenant shall assign Tenant’s estate or effects for the benefit of creditors (collectively, “Acts of Insolvency”), then in any such event Landlord may terminate this Lease, if Landlord so elects, with or without notice of such election and with or without entry or action by Landlord. In such case, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Landlord, in addition to any and all rights and remedies allowed by law or equity, shall, upon such termination, be entitled to recover damages in the amount provided in Subparagraph 25(b), and neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant or by virtue of


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-11-

any statute or order of any court shall be entitled to possession of the Premises but shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. Nothing contained herein shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to recover, by reason of any such termination, damages equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such damages are greater, equal to or less than the amount of damages otherwise recoverable under the provisions of this Paragraph 19.

20. INDEMNIFICATION AND EXCULPATION OF LANDLORD.

(a) Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and its officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees, and contractors (the “Landlord Parties” or, individually, a “Landlord Party”) harmless from all third party damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, loss, damage, injury, liability, claims and losses (collectively, “Claims”) arising from Tenant’s use of the Premises or the conduct of its business or from any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises, the Building, the Common Areas, any portion thereof, or any other part of the Project. Tenant shall further indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from all third party Claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, or arising from any act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant or of its agents, employees, or contractors, and from and against all third party Claims incurred in, or arising out of, such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against the Landlord Parties or any of them by reason of any such Claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense by counsel approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon the Premises from any cause whatsoever except that which is caused by the gross active negligence or willful misconduct of the Landlord Parties or any of them or Landlord’s breach of this Lease. Tenant hereby waives all its Claims in respect thereof against Landlord.

(b) Neither Landlord nor any Landlord Party shall be liable to Tenant or its partners, directors, officers, contractors, agents, employees, invitees, sublessees or licensees for any loss, injury or damage to Tenant or to any other person, or to its or their property, except to the extent such injury, damage or loss is caused by the gross active negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or a Landlord Party in the operation or maintenance of the Premises or the Building. Further, neither Landlord nor any Landlord Party shall be liable (i) for any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in or about the Building; or (ii) for punitive damages arising out of any loss of the use of the Premises or any equipment or facilities therein by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant.

21. DAMAGE TO TENANT’S PROPERTY. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 20, neither Landlord nor any Landlord Party shall be liable for (i) any damage to any property entrusted to employees of the Building, (ii) loss or damage to any property by theft or otherwise, or (iii) any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster or other improvements, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak from any part of the Building or from any latent defect in the Premises or in the Building or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, from the pipes, appliances or plumbing work in the Building or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other place or resulting from dampness or any other cause whatsoever. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Lease, neither Landlord nor any Landlord Party shall be liable for interference with light or other property rights. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Premises or in the Building or of defects in the Premises or the Building or in any fixtures or equipment.

22. TENANT’S INSURANCE.

(a) Tenant shall, during the Term and any other period of occupancy, at its sole cost and expense, keep in full force the following insurance:

(i) Standard form property insurance insuring against all-risk perils (“All-Risk”) and sprinkler leakage. This insurance policy shall be upon all property owned by Tenant, for which Tenant is legally liable or that was installed at Tenant’s expense, and which is located in the Building including, without


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-12-

limitation, furniture, fittings, installations, fixtures (other than tenant improvements installed by Landlord), and any other personal property, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost thereof. If there is a dispute as to the amount which comprises full replacement cost, the decision of Landlord or any mortgagees of Landlord shall be conclusive. This insurance policy shall also cover direct or indirect loss of Tenant’s earnings attributable to Tenant’s inability to use fully or obtain access to the Premises or Building in an amount which will properly reimburse Tenant. Such policy shall name Landlord and any mortgagees of Landlord as insured parties, as their respective interests may appear.

(ii) Commercial General Liability Insurance insuring Tenant against any liability arising out of the lease, use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be in the amount of $2,000,000 Combined Single Limit for injury to, or death of one or more persons in an occurrence, and for damage to tangible property in an occurrence. The policy shall insure the hazards of the Premises and Tenant’s operations thereon, independent contractors, and contractual liability (covering the indemnity contained in Paragraph 20), and shall (1) name Landlord and Landlord’s lender(s) and mortgagee(s) as additional insureds, (2) contain a cross-liability provision, and (3) contain a provision that the insurance provided Landlord under this Subparagraph 22(a)(ii) shall be primary and non-contributing with any other insurance available to Landlord.

(iii) Workers’ Compensation and Employer’s Liability insurance as required by state law.

(iv) Business interruption insurance coverage for all Basic Monthly Rent and Operating Expenses for a period of at least twelve (12) months.

(v) Any other form or forms of insurance which Tenant or Landlord or any mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time in form, in amounts, and for insurance risks against which a prudent tenant would protect itself.

(b) All policies to be procured by Tenant shall be written in a form satisfactory to Landlord and shall be maintained with insurance companies holding a General Policyholders Rating of “A” and a Financial Rating of “X” or better, as set forth in the most current issue of Best’s Insurance Guide. Within ten (10) days after the execution of this Lease and before occupying the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord copies of policies or certificates evidencing the existence of the amounts and forms of coverage satisfactory to Landlord. No such policy shall be cancelable or reducible in coverage without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall, at least ten (10) days before the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or “binders” thereof, or Landlord may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Tenant as additional rent. If Landlord obtains any insurance that is the responsibility of Tenant under this Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxx shall deliver to Tenant a written statement setting forth the cost of any such insurance and showing in reasonable detail the manner in which it has been computed, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord such amount at the Lease Interest Rate until paid.

(c) During the Term, Landlord shall insure the Building (excluding any property which Tenant is obligated to insure under Subparagraphs 22(a)) against damage with All-Risk insurance and public liability insurance, all in such amounts and with such deductibles as Landlord considers appropriate. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain and carry earthquake insurance, flood insurance, rental interruption insurance, or any other form or forms of insurance as it or Landlord’s mortgagees may determine advisable. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s insurance shall in any event provide primary coverage.

(d) Tenant will not keep, use, sell or offer for sale in or upon the Premises any article which may be prohibited by any insurance policy periodically in force covering the Building. If Tenant’s use of the Premises, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same, results in any increase in premiums for the insurance periodically carried by Landlord with respect to the Building, Tenant shall pay any such increase in premiums as additional rent within ten (10) days after being billed therefor by Landlord. In determining whether increased premiums are a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises, a schedule issued by the organization computing the


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-13-

insurance rate on the Building or the Tenant Improvements showing the various components of such rate shall be conclusive evidence of the several items and charges which make up such rate. Tenant shall promptly comply with all reasonable requirements of the insurance authority or any present or future insurer relating to the Premises.

(e) If any of Landlord’s insurance policies shall be canceled or cancellation shall be threatened or the premium or coverage thereunder changed or threatened to be changed in any way because of the use of the Premises or any part thereof by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant or by anyone Tenant permits on the Premises and, if Tenant fails to remedy the condition giving rise to such threatened or actual cancellation, or threatened or actual change in coverage or premiums, then, within forty-eight (48) hours after notice thereof, Landlord may, at its option, either terminate this Lease or enter upon the Premises and attempt to remedy such condition, and Tenant shall promptly pay the cost thereof to Landlord as additional rent. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury caused to any property of Tenant or of others located on the Premises resulting from such entry. If Landlord is unable or elects not to remedy such condition, then Landlord shall have all of the remedies for a Tenant default provided for in this Lease.

(f) All policies of insurance required hereunder shall include a clause or endorsement denying the insurer any rights of subrogation against the other party to the extent rights have been waived by the insured before the occurrence of injury or loss. Landlord and Tenant waive any rights of recovery against the other for injury or loss due to hazards covered by policies of insurance containing such a waiver of subrogation clause or endorsement to the extent of the injury or loss covered thereby.

23. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

(a) If the Project, Building, or the Premises is damaged by fire or other perils, Landlord shall:

(i) In the event of total destruction, at Landlord’s option, (x) as soon as reasonably possible after receipt of all insurance proceeds, approval by local authorities of any and all required final building plans and specifications and issuance of all required building permits and licenses, commence repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Project, Building, or the Premises and prosecute the same diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force, or (y) within the later of (a) the date of final insurance adjustment or (b) ninety (90) days after such damage, elect not to so repair, reconstruct or restore the Project, Building, or the Premises, in which latter event this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such total destruction. In either event, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its intention within ninety (90) days after the date of total destruction.

(ii) In the event of a partial destruction of the Project or Building to an extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value of the Project or Building or the Premises, and if the damage thereto is such that the Project, Building, or the Premises may be repaired, reconstructed or restored within a period of ninety (90) days from the date of such casualty, and if Landlord has received insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the cost of such repairs, then Landlord shall commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Building or Premises and this Lease shall continue in full force (it being understood and agreed that Landlord shall not be required to repair, reconstruct, or restore the other portions of the Project unless Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises will be materially affected by Landlord’s election to not repair, reconstruct or restore the damaged portion of the Project). If (i) such work of repair, reconstruction and restoration shall require a period longer than ninety (90) days after the date of the casualty or exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value of the Building, (ii) such partial destruction is not insured, or (iii) insurance proceeds will not be sufficient to cover the entire cost of such repairs, then Landlord either may elect to so repair, reconstruct or restore and the Lease shall continue in full force or Landlord may elect not to repair, reconstruct or restore and the Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of such partial destruction. Under any of the conditions of this Subparagraph 23(a)(ii), Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of its intention within the later of (a) the date of final insurance adjustment or (b) ninety (90) days after the date of partial destruction of the Project, Building, or Premises.

(b) Except as provided otherwise in this Lease, upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions of this Paragraph 23, the parties shall be released without further obligation to the other from the date possession of the Premises is surrendered to Landlord except for items which have previously accrued and are then unpaid.

(c) In the event of repair, reconstruction or restoration by Landlord as provided in this Paragraph 23, the rent payable under this Lease shall be abated proportionately to the degree to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration only to the extent Landlord receives proceeds from any rent abatement insurance that may be carried by Landlord or business interruption insurance carried by Tenant; provided that there shall be no abatement of rent if such damage is the result of the negligence or intentional wrongdoing of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages for (i) loss in the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or (ii) any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, reconstruction or restoration.

(d) Tenant shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Lease except to the extent and upon the conditions expressly stated in this Paragraph 23. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 23, if Landlord is delayed or prevented from repairing or restoring the damaged Premises more than one (1) year after the occurrence of such damage or destruction by reason of acts of God, war, governmental restrictions, inability to procure the necessary labor or materials, or other cause beyond the control of Landlord, Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease, whereupon Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make such repairs or restoration and Tenant shall be released from its obligations under this Lease as of the end of the one-year period.

(e) If Landlord is obligated to or elects to repair or restore as herein provided, Landlord shall be obligated to make repair or restoration only of those portions of the Building or the Premises which were originally provided at Landlord’s expense, and the repair and restoration of items not provided at Landlord’s expense shall be the obligation of Tenant as of the date of such casualty.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxx shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises when the damage resulting from any casualty covered under this Paragraph 23 occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term. In the event Landlord elects not to repair any such damage or destruction occurring during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then this Lease and the parties’ respective obligations hereunder (other than those that by their nature survive Lease termination) shall terminate.

(g) The provisions of Civil Code Section 1932, Subsection 2, and Section 1933, Subsection 4, which permit termination of a lease upon destruction of the leased premises, are hereby waived by Tenant, and the provisions of this Lease shall govern in case of such destruction. Except as provided otherwise in this Lease, Tenant shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Lease, the rent and other expenses payable by Tenant under this Lease shall not xxxxx, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any damage or destruction to the Premises or the Building or any inconvenience or injury to Tenant by reason of any maintenance, repairs, alterations, decoration, additions or improvements to the Premises, Building, or Project.

24. EMINENT DOMAIN.

(a) If all of the Project, Building, or Premises, or such part thereof as shall materially and adversely interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy thereof, shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to such authority. In addition, if such part of the Project as shall, in Landlord’s sole discretion, materially affect the continuing viability of the Project as an industrial project shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, the Landlord shall have the right to terminate this


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-15-

Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to such authority. Tenant shall not assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation because of such taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant. If the amount of property or the type of estate taken does not substantially interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant, Landlord shall restore the Premises to substantially their same condition before the partial taking to the extent Landlord receives condemnation proceeds (with any deficiency to be paid by Tenant as a condition to Landlord’s obligation to restore). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to proceed against the condemning authority for any damages, including rent paid to Landlord, during the time Tenant is deprived of the use of the Premises on account of such taking and restoration, and nothing contained in this Paragraph shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant. Rent during any such taking and restoration shall xxxxx only to the proportionate extent of Tenant’s inability to use the Premises and only to the extent Landlord receives proceeds from any rent abatement insurance that may be carried by Landlord or business interruption insurance carried by Tenant.

(b) In the event of taking of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary use, (i) this Lease shall be and remain unaffected thereby and rent shall not xxxxx except to the proportionate extent of Tenant’s inability to use the Premises and only to the extent Landlord receives proceeds from any rent abatement insurance that may be carried by Landlord or business interruption insurance carried by Tenant, and (ii) Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself such portion or portions of any award made for such use with respect to the period of the taking which is within the Term, provided that if such taking shall remain in force at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall then pay to Landlord a sum equal to the reasonable cost of performing Tenant’s obligations under Subparagraph 14(c) with respect to surrender of the Premises and upon such payment shall be excused from such obligations. For purpose of this Subparagraph 24(b), a temporary taking shall be defined as a taking for a period of 270 days or less. Tenant expressly waives the benefits of any statute now or hereafter in effect which would permit Tenant to terminate or seek termination of this Lease in the event of condemnation, including, without limitation, California Code of Civil Procedure sections 1265.110, 1265.120, and 1265.130.

25. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.

(a) The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant:

(i) Abandonment of the Premises by Tenant. Notwithstanding the provisions of Civil Code Section 1951.3, “abandonment” means any absence by Tenant from the Premises for three (3) days or longer while in default of any provision of this Lease.

(ii) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant under this Lease, as and when due, provided that Tenant may cure such default by making such payment to Landlord within three (3) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer actions.

(iii) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in Subparagraphs 25(a)(i) or (ii), provided that Tenant may cure such default by curing such failure within ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant. Any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 regarding unlawful detainer actions. If the nature of Tenant’s default is such that it is reasonably capable of being cured but more than ten (10) days are required for its cure, then Tenant shall be deemed to have cured such default if Tenant shall commence such cure within the ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion, provided further that such completion shall occur not later than sixty (60) days from the date of such notice from Landlord.

(iv) (1) Acts of Insolvency; or (2) 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, provided that such default shall be deemed to be cured where such seizure is discharged within thirty (30) days.

(v) The death, incapacity or Act of Insolvency of any Guarantor (as defined in Paragraph 56 below) or the termination, cancellation or anticipatory breach or repudiation in whole or in part of any Guaranty (as also defined in Paragraph 56, below).

(vi) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement given to Landlord by Tenant, or its successor in interest, or by any Transferee (defined below) or sublessee pursuant to a Transfer or sublease, or by any Guarantor, is materially false.

(vii) Any breach or repudiation by any Guarantor of the provisions of, or obligations of such Guarantor under, any guaranty of this Lease.

(b) If any such default by Tenant occurs, in addition to any other remedies now or later available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord can terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant under this Lease. No act by Landlord other than giving notice thereof to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Upon termination, Landlord may recover from Tenant (net of any mitigation of damages which Landlord makes or reasonable could have made):

(i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

(iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

(iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.

As used in Subparagraphs 25(b)(i) and (ii), the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the Lease Interest Rate. As used in Subparagraph 25(b)(iii), the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

(c) If any such default by Tenant occurs, Landlord may utilize the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (which says landlord may continue the lease in effect after a tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent (subject to mitigation) as it becomes due, if tenant has the right to sublet or assign subject to reasonable limitations).

(d) If an abandonment of the Premises by Tenant occurs or if Landlord elects to reenter as provided above or shall take possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or pursuant to any notice provided by law, then if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided above, Landlord may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, either recover all rent (subject to mitigation) as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part thereof for the Term on terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises.

If Landlord elects to so relet, then rentals received by Landlord from that reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due under this Lease from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such reletting; third, to the payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; fourth, to the payment of rent due and unpaid under this Lease; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied to payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable under this Lease. Should that portion of such rentals received from such reletting during any month, which is applied to the payment of rent under this Lease, be less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand therefor by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not covered by the rentals received from such reletting.

(e) All rights, options and remedies of Landlord contained in this Lease shall be construed and held to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of the other, and Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies or any other remedy or relief which may be provided by law, whether or not stated in this Lease. Without limitation, Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s failure to timely comply with the requirements of Paragraphs 27, 28, 50 and 51 may result in a lender refusing to loan Landlord funds or a buyer refusing to purchase the Building on favorable terms (or at all), causing Landlord substantial monetary damages. No waiver of any default of Tenant under this Lease shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord of any rent or other payments due under this Lease (whether that acceptance occurs before or after (i) a default has occurred or (ii) a three-day or other notice of default has been given) or from any omission by Landlord to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in the waiver. The consent or approval of Landlord to or of any act by Tenant requiring Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by Tenant.

(f) Landlord shall be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord under the Lease if Landlord has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after actual receipt of written notice from Tenant specifying in detail Landlord’s failure to perform; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for Landlord’s performance, Landlord shall not be deemed in default if Landlord commences such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues the same to completion. Upon any such default by Landlord, Tenant may exercise any of its rights provided at law for a default by a landlord under a commercial lease; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default, and Tenant’s remedies shall be limited to damages and/or injunctive relief.

(g) Landlord and Tenant waive all rights to a jury trial and agree that any action or proceeding arising out of this Lease shall be heard by a court sitting without a jury.

LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY UNDER THE CONSTITUTIONS OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVES AND RELEASES ALL SUCH RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, OR ANY CLAIM FOR INJURY OR DAMAGE.

26. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

(a) Tenant shall not assign, encumber, or otherwise transfer (collectively, “Transfer”) all or any part of its interest in this Lease or in the Premises or sublease all or any part of the Premises, or allow any other person or entity to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises, without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent as set forth below. Any Transfer or sublease without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be voidable at Landlord’s election and shall constitute a default.

-18-

(b) Tenant shall have the right to sublease or assign any portion of the Premises to any Tenant related entity, subsidiary or successor of Tenant. (“Affiliate”) without Landlord’s consent, but by providing notice to Landlord; subparagraphs (d), (e), and (f) of this Paragraph 26 are subject to this sentence. For non-affiliated companies, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay the approval of any proposed sublease or assignment.

(c) If Tenant is a partnership or a limited liability company, a withdrawal or change, in one or more transactions, of partners or members owning in the aggregate a fifty percent (50%) or more interest in the profits of the partnership or limited liability company, or any transaction or event which results in a change in control of the partnership or limited liability company, or if Tenant is a corporation, any change or transfer in the aggregate of fifty percent (50%) or more of its voting stock or beneficial interest, whether in one or more transactions, shall constitute a Transfer and shall be subject to these provisions. If Tenant is a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company a sale, subparagraphs (d), (e), and (f) of this Paragraph 26 are subject to this sentence or other transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of its assets in the aggregate, in one or more transactions, shall also be a Transfer under this Lease and in addition shall be void as to Landlord without Landlord’s prior written consent. No consent to a Transfer or sublease shall constitute a future waiver of the provisions of this Paragraph 26.

(d) Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s intent to Transfer or sublease all or part of this Lease or the Premises, the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee, information concerning the financial responsibility of the proposed assignee or sublessee and all the terms of the proposed Transfer or subletting; within 15 days after receipt of all such information and all additional information requested by Landlord concerning the proposed Transfer or sublease, Landlord shall elect by notice to Tenant (“Landlord’s Election”) to do one of the following: (a) consent to such proposed Transfer or sublease; (b) refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds.

As conditions to granting its consent to any Transfer or sublease, Landlord may require:

(i) delivery to and approval by Landlord of a true copy of the fully executed instrument of Transfer or sublease, and the delivery to Landlord of an agreement executed by the transferee or sublessee in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord and expressly enforceable by Landlord, whereby the transferee or sublessee assumes and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to perform all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease;

(ii) that any sublease provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to all mortgages, that Landlord may enforce the provisions of the sublease, including collection of rent, and that in the event of termination of this Lease for any reason, including without limitation a voluntary surrender by Tenant, or in the event of any reentry or repossession of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord may, at its option, either (x) terminate the sublease or (y) take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, in which latter case such sublessee shall attorn to Landlord, but that nevertheless Landlord shall not (1) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (2) be subject to any defense or offset previously accrued in favor of the sublessee against Tenant, or (3) be bound by any previous modification of any sublease made without Landlord’s written consent, or by any previous prepayment by sublessee of any rent or other payments.

(e) Landlord shall have the right to approve or disapprove any proposed assignee or subtenant. In exercising such right of approval or disapproval, Landlord shall be entitled to take into account any fact or factor which Landlord reasonably deems relevant to such decision, including but not necessarily limited to the following, all of which are agreed to be reasonable factors for Landlord’s consideration:

(i) The financial strength of the proposed assignee or subtenant, including the adequacy of its working capital to pay all expenses anticipated in connection with any proposed remodeling of the Premises.


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-19-

(ii) The proposed use of the Premises by such proposed assignee or subtenant and the compatibility of such proposed use within the quality and nature of the other uses in the Project.

(iii) Any violation which the proposed use by such proposed assignee or subtenant would cause of any other rights granted by Landlord to other tenants of the Project.

(iv) Any adverse impact of the proposed use of the Premises by such proposed assignee or subtenant upon the parking or other services provided for Project tenants generally.

(v) Whether there then exists any default by Tenant pursuant to this Lease or any non-payment or non-performance by Tenant under this Lease which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, would constitute a default under this Lease.

(vi) The business reputation, character, history and nature of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant.

(vii) Whether the proposed assignee or subtenant is a tenant or existing subtenant, or is an affiliate of or associated with any tenant or existing subtenant of the Project or is a person with whom Landlord has negotiated for space in the Project during the twelve (12) month period ending with the date Landlord receives notice of such proposed assignment or subletting.

(viii) Whether the proposed assignee or subtenant is a governmental entity or agency.

Moreover, Landlord shall be entitled to be reasonably satisfied that each and every covenant, condition or obligation imposed upon Tenant by this Lease and each and every right, remedy or benefit afforded Landlord by this Lease is not impaired or diminished by such assignment or subletting. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the express standards and provisions set forth in this Lease dealing with assignment and subletting, including those set forth in this subparagraph (e) have been freely negotiated and are reasonable at the date hereof taking into account Tenant’s proposed use of the Premises and the nature and quality of the Building and Project. No withholding of consent by Landlord for any reasonable reason deemed sufficient by Landlord shall give rise to any claim by Tenant or any proposed assignee or subtenant or entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease, to recover contract damages or to any abatement of rent. In this connection, Tenant hereby expressly waives its rights under California Civil Code Section 1995.310.

(f) Whether or not Landlord shall consent to a Transfer or sublease under the provisions of this Paragraph 26, (i) Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable processing fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in determining whether or not to so consent, and (ii) Tenant shall not be relieved of any responsibility under this Lease without Landlord’s express written release, which Landlord may grant or withhold in its sole, subjective discretion. If Landlord shall consent to any Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, one hundred percent (100%) of all net sums or other consideration payable to and for the benefit of Tenant by the transferee on account of the Transfer, as and when such sums and other consideration are due and payable to or for the benefit of Tenant (or, if Landlord so requires, and without any release of Tenant’s liability for the same, Tenant shall instruct the transferee to pay such sums and other consideration directly to Landlord). If in connection with any proposed sublease Tenant receives net sums or other consideration, either initially or over the term of the sublease, in excess of the rent called for under this Lease or, in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of such rent fairly allocable to such portion, after appropriate adjustments to assure that all other payments called for under this Lease are taken into account, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent one hundred percent (100%) of the net sums or other consideration received by Tenant promptly after its receipt. As used in this paragraph, “net sums or other consideration” shall include without limitation the then fair value of any non-cash consideration and shall be

calculated after first deducting reasonable costs incurred by Tenant in connection with the Transfer or sublease, including without limitation commissions payable to a brokers, space modification costs in connection with the Transfer or sublease, reasonable legal costs, free rent concessions to the transferee or sublessee, and lease take-over costs. Landlord’s waiver of or consent to any Transfer or subletting shall not relieve Tenant or any transferee or sublessee from any obligation under this Lease whether or not accrued.

27. SUBORDINATION. Unless Landlord or any beneficiary or mortgagee with a lien on the Building or any ground lessor with respect to the Building elects otherwise as provided below in this Paragraph 27, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the following without the necessity of any additional document being executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination:

(a) the lien and provisions of any mortgage, deed of trust, or declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions which may now exist or hereafter be executed by which the Building, Project, any ground lease, or Landlord’s interest or estate in any of those items, is encumbered; and

(b) all ground leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Building.

Landlord, any such beneficiary or mortgagee, or any such ground lessor, shall at any time have the right to elect to subordinate or cause to be subordinated to this Lease any such liens and provisions or ground lease. Any election under this Paragraph 27 may be made by giving notice thereof to Tenant at least sixty (60) days before the election is to become effective. If any ground lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall, at the election of any successor-in-interest to Landlord and regardless of any subordination, attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor-in-interest to Landlord. Tenant waives any right to declare this Lease terminated or otherwise ineffectual because of any such foreclosure, conveyance or ground lease termination. Tenant shall execute and deliver, upon demand by Landlord and in the form and content requested by Landlord, any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease and Tenant’s obligation to attorn to and become the Tenant of any successor-in-interest to Landlord as provided for under this Paragraph 27. Tenant’s failure to sign and return any such documents within ten (10) days of request shall constitute a material default by Tenant under this Lease and Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, terminate the Lease provided written notice of such termination (which shall be in lieu of and not in addition to the notice and cure period otherwise provided for under Subparagraph 25(a)(iii)) is received by Tenant prior to Landlord’s receipt of such documents. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute, deliver and record any such document in the name and on behalf of Tenant.

28. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

(a) Within ten (10) days following any written request which Landlord may make from time to time, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”, in a form substantially similar to the form of attached Exhibit E (provided that if the statements in paragraphs 11 and 12 thereof are not true, Tenant shall revise them in such a way as to make them true) or in any other form reasonably required by Landlord. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 28 may be relied upon by any mortgagee, beneficiary, purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Building or any interest therein.

(b) Tenant’s failure to deliver such Tenant Estoppel Certificate within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in full force, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and (iii) that not more than one (1) month’s rental has been paid in advance. Tenant’s failure to deliver the Tenant Estoppel Certificate to Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt shall constitute a material default under this Lease and Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, terminate the Lease, provided written notice of such termination (which shall be in lieu of and not in addition to the notice and cure period otherwise provided for under Subparagraph 25(a)(iii)) is received by Tenant prior to Landlord’s receipt of the Tenant Estoppel Certificate.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 29(b)(i), if Tenant or its Agents proposes to Use any Hazardous Materials, or to install or operate any equipment which will or may Use Hazardous Materials (“Equipment”), then Tenant shall first obtain Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or withheld by Landlord in its subjective, good faith judgment, within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of the last of documents or information requested by Landlord as set forth in this Paragraph. Tenant’s failure to receive Landlord’s consent within such thirty (30) day period shall be conclusively deemed Landlord’s withholding of


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-22-

consent. Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent shall include the following documents or information: (a) a Hazardous Materials list pursuant to Paragraph 29(c) regarding the Hazardous Materials Tenant proposes to Use or Equipment Tenant proposes to install and operate; (b) reasonably satisfactory evidence that Tenant has obtained all necessary Permits to Use those Hazardous Materials or to install and operate the proposed Equipment; (c) reasonably satisfactory evidence that Tenant’s Use of the Hazardous Materials or installation and operation of the Equipment shall comply with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws, Tenant’s permitted use under this Lease and all restrictive covenants encumbering the Project; (d) reasonably satisfactory evidence of Tenant’s financial capability and responsibility for potential Claims associated with the Use of the Hazardous Materials or installation and operation of the Equipment; and (e) such other documents or information as Landlord may reasonably request.

Neither Landlord’s consent nor Tenant’s obtaining any Permits shall relieve Tenant of any of its obligations pursuant to this Paragraph 29. Landlord’s granting of consent to one request to Use Hazardous Materials or install and operate Equipment shall not be deemed Landlord’s consent to any other such request. If Landlord grants its consent to Tenant’s request, no subtenant, assignee or successor of Tenant shall have the right to Use those Hazardous Materials or install or operate that Equipment without again complying with the provisions of this Paragraph 29(b)(ii).

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraphs 29(b)(i) and 29(b)(ii), Tenant may Use any Substance typically found or used in applications of the type permitted by this Lease so long as: (a) any such Substance is typically found only in such quantity as is reasonably necessary for Tenant’s permitted use under Paragraph 8 of this Lease; (b) any such Substance and all equipment necessary in connection with the Substance are Used strictly in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions therefor; (c) no such Substance is released or disposed of in or about the Project; (d) any such Substance and all equipment necessary in connection with the Substance are removed from the Project and transported for Use or disposal by Tenant in compliance with any applicable Hazardous Materials Laws upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease; and (e) Tenant and its Agents comply with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws.

(d) Tenant shall furnish to Landlord copies of all notices, claims, reports, complaints, warnings, asserted violations, documents or other communications received or delivered by Tenant, as soon as possible and in any event within five (5) days of such receipt or delivery, with respect to any actual or alleged Use, disposal or transportation of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises, the Building or the Project. Whether or not Tenant receives any such notice, claim, report, complaint, warning, asserted violation, document or communication, Tenant


	Landlord’s Initials	Tenant’s Initials



-23-

shall immediately notify Landlord, orally and in writing, if Tenant or any of its Agents knows or has reasonable cause to believe that any Hazardous Materials, or a condition involving or resulting from the same, is present, in Use, has been disposed of, or transported to or from the Premises, the Building or the Project other than as previously consented to by Landlord in strict accordance with Paragraph 29(b).

(e) Tenant acknowledges that it, and not Landlord, is in possession and control of the Premises for purposes of all reporting requirements under any Hazardous Materials Laws. If Tenant or its Agents violate any provision of this Paragraph 29, then Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing and shall be obligated, at Tenant’s sole cost, to xxxxx, remediate, clean-up or remove from the Project, and dispose of, all in compliance with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws, all Hazardous Materials Used by Tenant or its Agents. Such work shall include, but not be limited to, all testing and investigation required by Landlord, Landlord’s lender or ground lessor, if any, and any governmental authorities having jurisdiction, and preparation and implementation of any remedial action plan required by any governmental authorities having jurisdiction. All such work shall, in each instance, be conducted to the satisfaction of Landlord and all governmental authorities having jurisdiction. If at any time Landlord determines that Tenant is not complying with the provisions of this Paragraph 29(e), then Landlord may, without prejudicing, limiting, releasing or waiving Landlord’s rights under this Paragraph 29, separately undertake such work, and Tenant shall reimburse all costs incurred by Landlord upon demand.

If Landlord determines that Tenant has violated the provisions of this Paragraph 29, or if any applicable governmental agency requires any such inspection, investigation or testing, then Tenant, in addition to its other obligations set forth in this Paragraph 29, shall immediately reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred therewith.

Payment shall not be a condition precedent to enforcement of the foregoing indemnification provision. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any required or necessary testing, investigation, studies, reports, repair, clean-up, detoxification or decontamination of the Project, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, removal, remedial action or other required plans in connection therewith, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease. For purposes of these indemnity provisions, any acts or omissions of Tenant, its assignees, sublessees, Agents or others acting for or on behalf of Tenant (regardless of whether they are negligent, intentional, willful, or unlawful) shall be strictly attributable to Tenant.

(ii) If at any time after the initiation of any suit, action, investigation or other proceeding which could create a right of indemnification under Paragraph 29(g)(i) Landlord determines that Tenant is not complying with the provisions of Paragraph 29(g)(i), then Landlord may, without prejudicing, limiting, releasing or waiving the right of indemnification provided herein, separately defend or retain separate counsel to represent and control the defense as to Landlord’s interest in such suit, action, investigation or other proceeding. Tenant shall pay all costs of Landlord’s separate defense or counsel upon demand.

(iii) Tenant waives, releases and discharges Landlord, its partners and its and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, lenders, ground lessors, attorneys, successors and assigns from any and all Claims of whatever kind (other than claims for indemnity or contribution with regard to liability to third party persons or governments), known or unknown, including any action under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq.), as amended (“CERCLA”) and the provisions of California Health & Safety Code Section 25100 et seq., as amended, which Tenant has or may have, based upon the Use, migration, disposal of or transportation to or from the Premises or the Project of any Hazardous Materials (unless caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) or the environmental condition of the Premises or the Project (including without limitation all facilities, improvements, structures and equipment thereon and soil and groundwater thereunder). Tenant agrees, represents and warrants that the matters released herein are not limited to matters which are known, disclosed or foreseeable, and Tenant waives any and all rights and benefits which it now has, or may have, conferred upon Tenant by virtue of the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides:

“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 THE DEBTOR.”

Tenant agrees, represents and warrants that it is familiar with, has read, understands, and has consulted legal counsel of its choosing with respect to California Civil Code Section 1542 and Tenant realizes and acknowledges that factual matters now unknown to it may have given, or may hereinafter give, rise to Claims which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected.

Exhibit G -1-

14. Tenant’s continued right to use any parking spaces in the parking facilities is conditioned upon Tenant abiding by these rules and regulations and those contained in this Lease. Further, if this Lease terminates for any reason whatsoever, Tenant’s right to use the parking spaces in the parking facilities shall terminate concurrently with the Lease.

1.	Right of First Notice to Lease Additional Space

2.	Option(s) to Extend Term


		Landlord’s Initials		Tenant’s Initials

LEASE RIDER NO. 1

RIGHT OF FIRST NOTICE TO

LEASE ADDITIONAL SPACE

This Rider is attached to and made a part of that certain Lease (the “Lease”), dated January 26, 0000, xxxxxxx XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXX LLC, a California limited liability company (“Landlord”) and PATH 1 NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES INC., a Delaware corporation, (“Tenant”) for the premises known as Suite(s) 140, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx (the “Premises”). Defined or initially capitalized terms used in this Rider shall have the same meanings as in the Lease. The provisions of this Rider shall supersede any inconsistent provisions of the Lease to the extent of the inconsistency.

Provided Tenant is not then in default under the Lease, if Landlord decides to lease any space in the Building, as defined in the Lease (the “Additional Space”) to the general public, Landlord shall first give written notice to Tenant of the material terms and conditions upon which Landlord is willing to offer to lease the Additional Space to the general public (“Landlord’s Notice”). Tenant shall have five (5) business days after Landlord’s Notice is given within which to give written unconditional notice to Landlord that Tenant agrees to lease all (and not less than all) of the Additional Space on all the terms and conditions set forth in Landlord’s Notice (“Tenant’s Notice”). If Tenant duly exercises its rights under this Rider, the Additional Space shall become part of the Premises as of the date on which Tenant shall first have the right to occupy all or any part of that Additional Space under the terms of Landlord’s Notice or the Lease amendment resulting therefrom.

This Right of First Notice is a one-time right only. If Landlord fails to receive Tenant’s Notice within the above five-day period, then all rights of Tenant to lease the Additional Space under this Rider shall automatically terminate, and Landlord shall thereafter have no further obligation to notify Tenant of any proposal to lease the Additional Space. Landlord shall thereafter have the unconditional right to lease all or any part of the Additional Space to third parties on the same terms and conditions as contained in Landlord’s Notice or on any other terms and conditions that Landlord thereafter negotiates, without further obligation to Tenant.

If Tenant duly exercises this Right of First Notice within the above five-day period, then Tenant shall enter into an amendment to the Lease (i) incorporating the Additional Space into the Lease on the terms and conditions contained in Landlord’s Notice and (ii) adjusting Tenant’s Percentage and rent accordingly. All other terms and conditions of the Lease (except as specified in the immediately preceding sentence, this Rider, Rider No(s). 2, Exhibit(s) “A” through “G”, and Lease paragraphs (none)) shall remain the same and in full effect. If Tenant fails to duly execute and return the Lease amendment to Landlord within five (5) days after it is delivered to Tenant for signature, this Right of First Notice and Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s Notice shall automatically be void, any right accrued under this Right of First Notice shall be of no effect, and Landlord shall thereafter be free to unconditionally lease the Additional Space to one or more third parties as set forth above.

This Right of First Notice shall not apply to (a) offers from any third parties to lease the Additional Space, (b) leases or transfers among entities or persons related to Landlord (including, but not limited to, partners if Landlord is a partnership, and shareholders if Landlord is a corporation), and (c) any proposed sale or purchase of the Building, including, without limitation, a proposed sale-and-leaseback of the Building. This Right of First Notice is personal to Tenant. If Tenant Transfers any of Tenant’s interest in the Lease before the permitted exercise of Tenant’s rights under this Right of First Notice, those rights shall not be transferred to any transferee but shall instead automatically lapse, and Landlord’s obligations under this Right of First Notice shall automatically terminate. This Right of First Notice shall automatically expire without notice on the expiration of the original or extended Term or sooner termination of the Lease or upon any Transfer or sublease by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises.

LEASE RIDER NO. 2

OPTION TO EXTEND TERM

Landlord grants to Tenant two options (each an “Option”) to extend the Term for additional one (1) year(s) terms (each an “Extension”) on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease (i.e., the second option is available only if the first option is exercised, and the time for exercise of the second option would be at the end of the Term extended by the first one-year Extension), except that the Monthly Basic Rent shall be adjusted on the first day of the Extension (the “Adjustment Date”) to the “fair rental value” of the Premises on the Adjustment Date as follows:

(a) At least one hundred eighty (180) days before the Adjustment Date, Landlord and Tenant shall meet in an effort to negotiate, in good faith, the fair rental value of the Premises as of the Adjustment Date. If Landlord and Tenant have not agreed upon the fair rental value of the Premises at least one hundred (100) days before the Adjustment Date, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree in good faith upon a single appraiser not later than seventy-five (75) days before the Adjustment Date. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single appraiser within this time period, then Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) appraiser not later than sixty-five (65) days before the Adjustment Date. Within ten (10) days thereafter, the two appointed appraisers shall appoint a third appraiser. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint its appraiser within the prescribed time period, the single appraiser appointed shall determine the fair rental value of the Premises. If both parties fail to appoint appraisers within the prescribed time periods, then the first appraiser thereafter selected by a party shall determine the fair rental value of the Premises. Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser, and the parties shall share equally the cost of a single or a third appraiser, if applicable. Each appraiser shall have at least five (5) years experience in the appraisal of Class A industrial buildings in San Diego County, California and shall be a member of one or more professional organizations such as MAI or an equivalent.

(b) For purposes of such appraisal, “fair rental value” shall mean the price that a ready and willing tenant would pay, as of the Adjustment Date, as monthly rent to a ready and willing landlord of comparable, first-class industrial buildings in the San Diego County area for space comparable to the Premises if that property were exposed for lease on the open market for a reasonable period of time with a lease comparable to the Lease and with tenant improvements comparable to those in the Premises. If a single appraiser is chosen, then such appraisal shall determine the fair rental value of the Premises. Otherwise, the fair rental value of the Premises shall be the arithmetic average of the two of the three appraisals which are closest in amount, and the third appraisal shall be disregarded. In no event, however, shall the then-existing monthly rent ever be reduced by reason of such computation, nor shall there be any rent concession or additional tenant improvement allowance for the Extension term. Landlord and Tenant shall instruct the appraiser(s) to complete their determination of the fair rental value not later than thirty (30) days before the Adjustment Date. If the fair rental value is not determined before the Adjustment Date, then Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord the monthly rent in effect immediately prior to such Extension, until the fair rental value is determined. When the fair rental value of the Premises is determined, Landlord shall deliver notice of that amount to Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, the difference between the monthly rent actually paid by Tenant to Landlord and the new monthly rent determined under this Rider.

The Option shall be exercised only by written unconditional notice received by Landlord at least six (6) months before expiration of the Term. If Landlord does not timely receive Tenant’s written unconditional notice of the exercise of the Option, the Option under this Rider shall immediately lapse, and there shall be no further right


		Landlord’s Initials		Tenant’s Initials

to extend the Term or to the Extension. The Option shall be exercisable by Tenant on the express condition for Landlord’s benefit that Tenant shall not be in default either at the time of the exercise of the Option or at the commencement of the Extension. If Tenant timely exercises the Option under this Rider, “Term” shall mean, for all purposes under the Lease, the sum of (a) the Term, as defined under Subparagraph 1(m) of the Lease, plus (b) the term of the Extension for which the Option has been exercised.

The Option is personal to Tenant. In the event of any sublease or Transfer of Tenant’s interest in the Lease before the permitted exercise of the Option, the Option shall not be transferred to any transferee but shall instead automatically lapse, and the Term shall be as provided for in Paragraph 3 of the Lease.

SATELLITE CONDITIONS

1. Right to Install and Maintain Roof Equipment. To the extent space is available in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to install and maintain on the Building roof, microwave dishes, antennas and related cable connections (collectively, the “Satellite System”), at a location to be designated and limited by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion as long as Satellite System is able to operate. Tenant shall have the right to the reasonable use of the risers in the Building to the extent available and designated by Landlord as long as there is no adverse affect on the Building structure or building systems or any other tenants’ premises and subject to restrictions and conditions as may be imposed by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Prior to such installation, Tenant shall obtain (i) Landlord’s written approval, which may not be unreasonably withheld, with respect to the size up to 150 Sq. Ft., weight, design, method of installation, and any screening required by Landlord of all of the above-described equipment, and (ii) all required governmental and other permits and approvals for the Satellite System from appropriate sources. This installation shall be performed in accordance with all requirements and criteria imposed by Landlord in connection therewith in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, including requirements intended to minimize the disturbance of other tenants of the Building by noise generated by Tenant’s installation of its equipment (e.g., requirements restricting the times or days that Tenant may install the equipment). Landlord may direct, but shall not be responsible for, the means and methods of installation and no roof penetrations or penetrations between floors shall be permitted. The Satellite System and all related equipment must be located, installed, and operated so as to not (a) be visible from any location on the ground or (b) interfere with the operation of any other communications or other equipment now or hereafter located on the roof, in the Building, or in the vicinity of the Building.

2. Responsibility. Tenant will be solely responsible, at Tenant’s sole expense, for the installation, maintenance, repair and removal of the Satellite System and related cables, conduits, and other equipment (and for obtaining all required permits and approvals in connection therewith) and Tenant shall at all times (a) maintain the Satellite System in good condition and repair and (b) be responsible for the continuous compliance of the Satellite System and its operation and installation with all laws, rules (including, without limitation, any covenants, conditions, and restrictions affecting the Building), and regulations from time to time applicable. If, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, the weight of the Satellite System and of such other material and equipment which is now or hereafter located on the roof exceeds the weight bearing capacity of the roof, or may otherwise cause the Building to be in violation of any law or regulation, Tenant shall pay all costs incurred to make all alterations which are needed to reinforce the roof and/or to otherwise ensure that the Building will be in compliance with all such laws.

3. Access. Roof access by Tenant for any purpose shall be subject to all rules, regulations, and restrictions reasonably imposed by Landlord from time to time.

4. No Representations/Operation. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant regarding the extent to which transmission or reception by the Satellite System will, or will not be interfered with by helicopters, other equipment installations, other existing or future structures, antennas, dishes, transmitters, receivers, or other activities on or in the vicinity of the roof, Building, or any other condition or source of interference, or that the condition, design, or weight bearing capacity of the roof is adequate for the installation, use, or operation of a Satellite System. Tenant’s installation and use rights under this Paragraph shall only apply with respect to the use of the Satellite System in connection with Tenant’s operations in the Premises (as opposed to, e.g., a lease or license of such equipment by Tenant to any third party or any assignment, sublease, or other transfer


		Landlord’s Initials		Tenant’s Initials

of the Premises). Tenant, and not Landlord, shall be solely responsible for ensuring the satisfactory operation of the Satellite System and that the Satellite System will not interfere in any way with (a) the mechanical, electrical, communication, transmission or other systems of the Building or any other building located in the vicinity of the Building, (b) the use by other tenants or occupants of the roof or the Building of any communication or transmission systems or devices, or (c) the use and enjoyment of the Building by the other tenants of the Building.

5. Removal. On or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove the Satellite System and related cables, conduits, and other equipment and repair any damage to the Building caused by such removal. In the event that Landlord enters into any master lease of the roof of the Building or similar lease or license arrangement, Tenant shall execute any amendment to this Lease and/or other documents reasonably required by Landlord in furtherance of such master lease or similar arrangements so long as no such amendment or other document materially impairs Tenant’s rights and interests under this Paragraph or any other provision of this Lease.
