vehicles as well as full-size passenger automobiles, and that Tenant shall not
use parking spaces for vehicles larger than the striped size of the parking
spaces. Tenant shall not park any vehicles at the Project overnight. Tenant

to time established by Landlord. Tenant shall not allow any vehicles using
Tenant's parking privileges to be parked, loaded or unloaded except in
accordance with this Section, including in the areas and in the manner
designated by Landlord for such activities. If any vehicle is using the parking
or loading areas contrary to any provision of this Section, Landlord shall have
the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord under this
Lease, to remove or tow away the vehicle without prior notice to Tenant, and the
cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within ten (10) days after notice from
Landlord to Tenant.
ARTICLE THREE

without any deduction or offset whatsoever, Rent, including Monthly Base Rent
and Rent Adjustments in accordance with Article Four, during the Term. Monthly
Base Rent shall be paid monthly in advance on the first day of each month of the
Term, except that the first installment of Monthly Base Rent shall be paid by
Tenant to Landlord concurrently with execution of this Lease. Monthly Base Rent
shall be prorated for partial months within the Term. Unpaid Rent shall bear
interest at the Default Rate from the date due until paid. Tenant's covenant to
pay Rent shall be independent of every other covenant in this Lease.
ARTICLE FOUR
OPERATING EXPENSES, RENT ADJUSTMENTS AND PAYMENTS
4.01 TENANT'S SHARE OF OPERATING EXPENSES
Tenant shall pay Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses in the respective shares
of the respective categories of Operating Expenses as set forth below.
(a) Tenant's Project Share of Project Operating Expenses, which is the
percentage obtained by dividing the rentable square footage of the Premises
for the building(s) in which the Premises is located by the rentable square
footage of the Project and as of the date hereof equals the percentage set
forth in Section 1.01(16);
(b) Tenant's Building Share of Building Operating Expenses, which is
the percentage obtained by dividing the rentable square footage of the
Premises respectively for each building in which the Premises is located by
the total rentable square footage of such building and as of the date
hereof equals the percentage set forth in Section 1.01(16);
(c) Tenant's Phase Share of Phase Operating Expenses, which is the
percentage obtained by dividing the aggregate rentable square footage of
the Premises located in Tenant's Phase by the total rentable square footage
of Tenant's Phase and as of the date hereof equals the percentage set forth
in Section 1.01(16);
(d) Project Operating Expenses shall mean all Operating Expenses that
are not included as Phase Operating Expenses (defined below) and that are
not either Building Operating Expenses or operating expenses directly and
separately identifiable to the operation, maintenance or repair of any
other building located in the Project, but Project Operating Expenses
includes operating expenses allocable to any areas of the Building or any
other building during such time as such areas are made
7
available by Landlord for the general common use or benefit of all tenants
of the Project, and their employees and invitees, or the public, as such
areas currently exist and as they may be changed from time to time;
(e) Building Operating Expenses shall mean Operating Expenses that are
directly and separately identifiable to each building in which the Premises
or part thereof is located;
(f) Phase Operating Expenses shall mean Operating Expenses that
Landlord may allocate to a Phase as directly and separately identifiable to
all buildings located in the Phase (including but not limited to the
Building) and may include Project Operating Expenses that are separately
identifiable to a Phase;
(g) Landlord shall have the right to allocate a particular item or
portion of Operating Expenses as any one of Project Operating Expenses,
Building Operating Expenses or Phase Operating Expenses; however, in no
event shall any portion of Building Operating Expenses, Project Operating
Expenses or Phase Operating Expenses be assessed or counted against Tenant
more than once; and.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
4.01, as to each specific category of Operating Expense which one or more
tenants of the Building either pays directly to third parties or
specifically reimburses to Landlord (for example, separately contracted
janitorial services or property taxes directly reimbursed to Landlord),
then, on a category by category basis, the amount of Operating Expenses for
the affected period shall be adjusted as follows: (1) all such tenant
payments with respect to such category of expense and all of Landlord's
costs reimbursed thereby shall be excluded from Operating Expenses and
Tenant's Building Share, Tenant's Phase Share or Tenant's Project Share, as
the case may be, for such category of Operating Expense shall be adjusted
by excluding the square footage of all such tenants, and (2) if Tenant pays
or directly reimburses Landlord for such category of Operating Expense,
such category of Operating Expense shall be excluded from the determination
of Operating Expenses for the purposes of this Lease.
4.02 RENT ADJUSTMENTS
Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent Adjustments with respect to each Adjustment
Year as follows:
(a) The Rent Adjustment Deposit representing Tenant's Share of
Landlord's estimate of Operating Expenses, as described in Section 4.01,
for the applicable Adjustment Year (or portion thereof) monthly during the
Term with the payment of Monthly Base Rent, except the first installment
which shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord concurrently with execution of
this Lease; and
(b) Any Rent Adjustments due in excess of the Rent Adjustment Deposits
in accordance with Section 4.02.
4.03 STATEMENT OF LANDLORD
Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year or as
soon thereafter as reasonably possible, Landlord will furnish Tenant a statement
("Landlord's Statement") showing the following:
(a) Operating Expenses for the last Adjustment Year showing in
reasonable detail the actual Operating Expenses categorized among Project
Operating Expenses, Building Operating Expenses and Phase Operating
Expenses for such period and Tenant's Share of each as described in Section
4.01 above;
(b) The amount of Rent Adjustments due Landlord for the last
Adjustment Year, less credit for Rent Adjustment Deposits paid, if any; and
(c) Any change in the Rent Adjustment Deposit due monthly in the
current Adjustment Year, including the amount or revised amount due for
months preceding any such change pursuant to Landlord's Statement.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of such
statement any amounts for Rent Adjustments then due in accordance with
Landlord's Statement. Any amounts due from Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this
Section shall be credited to the Rent Adjustment Deposit next coming due, or
refunded to Tenant if the Term has already expired provided Tenant is not in
default hereunder. No interest or penalties shall accrue on any amounts which
Landlord is obligated to credit or refund to Tenant by reason of this Section
4.02. Landlord's failure to deliver Landlord's Statement or to compute the
amount of the Rent Adjustments shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its
right to deliver such items nor constitute a waiver or release of Tenant's
obligations to pay such amounts. The Rent Adjustment Deposit shall be credited
against Rent Adjustments due for the applicable Adjustment Year. During the last
complete calendar year or during any partial calendar year in which the Lease
terminates, Landlord may include in the Rent Adjustment Deposit its estimate of
Rent Adjustments which may not be finally determined until after the termination
of this Lease. Tenant's obligation to pay Rent Adjustments survives the
expiration or termination of the Lease.
8
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the sum of Monthly Base Rent
and the Rent Adjustments be less than the Monthly Base Rent payable.
4.04 BOOKS AND RECORDS
Landlord shall maintain books and records showing Operating Expenses and Taxes
in accordance with sound accounting and management practices, consistently
applied. The Tenant or its representative (which representative shall be a
certified public accountant licensed to do business in the state in which the
Property is located and whose primary business is certified public accounting)
shall have the right, for a period of thirty (30) days following the date upon
which Landlord's Statement is delivered to Tenant, to examine the Landlord's
books and records with respect to the items in the foregoing statement of
Operating Expenses and Taxes during normal business hours, upon written notice,
delivered at least three (3) business days in advance. If Tenant does not object
in writing to Landlord's Statement within sixty (60) days of Tenant's receipt
thereof, specifying the nature of the item in dispute and the reasons therefor,
then Landlord's Statement shall be considered final and accepted by Tenant. Any
amount due to the Landlord as shown on Landlord's Statement, whether or not
disputed by Tenant as provided herein shall be paid by Tenant when due as
provided above, without prejudice to any such written exception.
4.05 TENANT OR LEASE SPECIFIC TAXES
In addition to Monthly Base Rent, Rent Adjustments, Rent Adjustment Deposits and
other charges to be paid by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand,
any and all taxes payable by Landlord (other than federal or state inheritance,
general income, gift or estate taxes) whether or not now customary or within the
contemplation of the parties hereto: (a) upon, allocable to, or measured by the
Rent payable hereunder, including any gross receipts tax or excise tax levied by
any governmental or taxing body with respect to the receipt of such rent; or (b)
upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management,
maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or
any portion thereof; or (c) upon the measured value of Tenant's personal
property or trade fixtures located in the Premises or in any storeroom or any
other place in the Premises or the Property, or the areas used in connection
with the operation of the Property, it being the intention of Landlord and
Tenant that, to the extent possible, Tenant shall cause such taxes on personal
property or trade fixtures to be billed to and paid directly by Tenant; (d)
resulting from Landlord Work, Tenant Work or Tenant Alterations to the Premises,
whether title thereto is in Landlord or Tenant; or (e) upon this transaction.
Taxes paid by Tenant pursuant to this Section 4.05 shall not be included in any
computation of Taxes as part of Operating Expenses.
ARTICLE FIVE
SECURITY DEPOSIT
Tenant concurrently with the execution of this Lease shall pay to Landlord in
immediately available funds the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit may be
applied by Landlord to cure, in whole or part, any default of Tenant under this
Lease, and upon notice by Landlord of such application, Tenant shall replenish
the Security Deposit in full by paying to Landlord within ten (10) days of
demand the amount so applied. Landlord's application of the Security Deposit
shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default to the extent that the
Security Deposit does not fully compensate Landlord for all losses, damages,
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such default and
shall not prejudice any other rights or remedies available to Landlord under
this Lease or by Law. Landlord shall not pay any interest on the Security
Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate
from its general accounts. The Security Deposit shall not be deemed an advance
payment of Rent, nor a measure of damages for any default by Tenant under this
Lease, nor shall it be a bar or defense of any action which Landlord may at any
time commence against Tenant. In the absence of evidence satisfactory to
Landlord of an assignment of the right to receive the Security Deposit or the
remaining balance thereof, Landlord may return the Security Deposit to the
original Tenant, regardless of one or more assignments of this Lease. Upon the
transfer of Landlord's interest under this Lease, Landlord's obligation to
Tenant with respect to the Security Deposit shall terminate upon transfer to the
transferee of the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof. If Tenant shall
fully and faithfully comply with all the terms, provisions, covenants, and
conditions of this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, shall be
returned to Tenant within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord recovers
possession of the Premises. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights of Tenant
under the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code or other Law
regarding security deposits.
ARTICLE SIX
UTILITIES & SERVICES
6.01 LANDLORD'S GENERAL SERVICES
Landlord shall provide maintenance and services as provided in Article Eight.
6.02 TENANT TO OBTAIN & PAY DIRECTLY
(a) Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay promptly all charges for
gas, electricity, sewer, heat, light, power, telephone, refuse pickup (to be
performed on a regularly scheduled basis so that accumulated refuse does not
exceed the capacity of Tenant's refuse bins), janitorial service and all other
utilities, materials and services furnished directly to or used by Tenant in, on
or about the Premises, together
9
with all taxes thereon. Tenant shall contract directly with the providing
companies for such utilities and services.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, without,
in each instance, the prior written consent of Landlord, as more particularly
provided in Article Nine, Tenant shall not: (i) make any alterations or
additions to the electric or gas equipment or systems or other Building systems.
Tenant's use of electric current shall at no time exceed the capacity of the
wiring, feeders and risers providing electric current to the Premises or the
Building. The consent of Landlord to the installation of electric equipment
shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to limit usage of electricity to no
more than such capacity.
6.03 TELEPHONE SERVICES
All telegraph, telephone, and communication connections which Tenant may desire
outside the Premises, and the location of all wires in connection therewith,
shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, in Landlord's sole
discretion, and the work in connection therewith shall be performed by
contractors approved by Landlord, which approval shall not unreasonably be
withheld, and shall be subject to the reasonable direction of Landlord, except
that such approval is not required as to Tenant's choice of service providers or
telephone equipment serving Tenant exclusively (including cabling) within the
Premises and from the Premises in a route designated by Landlord to any
telephone cabinet or panel provided for Tenant's connection to the telephone
cable serving the Building, so long as Tenant's equipment does not require
connections different than or additional to those to the telephone cabinet or
panel provided. As to any such connections or work outside the Premises
requiring Landlord's approval, Landlord reserves the right to designate and
control the entity or entities providing telephone or other communication cable
installation, removal, repair and maintenance outside the Premises and to
restrict and control access to telephone cabinets or panels. In the event
Landlord designates a particular vendor or vendors to provide such cable
installation, removal, repair and maintenance for the Building, Tenant agrees to
abide by and participate in such program. Tenant shall be responsible for and
shall pay all costs incurred in connection with the installation of telephone
cables and communication wiring in the Premises, including any hook-up, access
and maintenance fees related to the installation of such wires and cables in the
Premises and the commencement of service therein, and the maintenance thereafter
of such wire and cables; and there shall be included in Operating Expenses for
the Building all installation, removal, hook-up or maintenance costs incurred by
Landlord in connection with telephone cables and communication wiring serving
the Building which are not allocable to any individual users of such service but
are allocable to the Building generally. If Tenant fails to maintain all
telephone cables and communication wiring installed by Tenant and such failure
affects or interferes with the operation or maintenance of any other telephone
cables or communication wiring serving the Building or the Project, Landlord or
any vendor hired by Landlord may enter into and upon the Premises forthwith and,
wherever such installations are located, perform such repairs, restorations or
alterations as Landlord deems necessary, in its good faith discretion, in order
to eliminate any such interference (and Landlord may recover from Tenant all of
Landlord's reasonable costs in connection therewith). No later than the
Termination Date, Tenant agrees to remove all telephone cables and communication
wiring installed in or on the Building by Tenant for and during Tenant's
occupancy, which Landlord shall request Tenant to remove. Tenant agrees that
neither Landlord nor any of its agents or employees shall be liable to Tenant,
or any of Tenant's employees, agents, customers or invitees or anyone claiming
through, by or under Tenant, for any damages, injuries, losses, expenses, claims
or causes of action because of any interruption, diminution, delay or
discontinuance at any time for any reason in the furnishing of any telephone or
other communication service to the Premises and the Building except to the
extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its
employees or agents.
6.04 FAILURE OR INTERRUPTION OF UTILITY OR SERVICE
To the extent that any equipment or machinery furnished or maintained by
Landlord outside the Premises is used in the delivery of utilities directly
obtained by Tenant pursuant to Section 6.02 and breaks down or ceases to
function properly, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair same
promptly. In the event of any failure, stoppage or interruption of, or change
in, any utilities or services supplied by Landlord which are not directly
obtained by Tenant, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to have service
promptly resumed. In either event covered by the preceding two sentences, if the
cause of any such failure, stoppage or interruption of, or change in, utilities
or services is within the control of a public utility, other public or quasi-
public entity, or utility provider outside Landlord's control, notification to
such utility or entity of such failure, stoppage or interruption and request to
remedy the same shall constitute "reasonable diligence" by Landlord to have
service promptly resumed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to
the contrary, in the event of any failure, stoppage or interruption of, or
change in, any utility or other service furnished to the Premises or the Project
resulting from any cause, including changes in service provider or Landlord's
compliance with any voluntary or similar governmental or business guidelines now
or hereafter published or any requirements now or hereafter established by any
governmental agency, board or bureau having jurisdiction over the operation of
the Property: (a) Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to, any abatement or reduction of Rent; (b) no such failure, stoppage,
or interruption of any such utility or service shall constitute an eviction of
Tenant or relieve Tenant of the obligation to perform any covenant or agreement
of this Lease to be performed by Tenant; (c) Landlord shall not be in breach of
this Lease nor be liable to Tenant for damages or otherwise.
10
6.05 CHOICE OF SERVICE PROVIDER
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may, at Landlord's sole option, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, elect to change, from time to time, the company or
companies which provide services (including electrical service, gas service,
water, telephone and technical services) to the Property, the Premises and/or
its occupants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease,
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not and does not make any representations
or warranties concerning the identity or identities of the company or companies
which provide services to the Property and the Premises or its occupants and
Tenant acknowledges that the choice of service providers and matters concerning
the engagement and termination thereof shall be solely that of Landlord. The
foregoing provision is not intended to modify, amend, change or otherwise
derogate any provision of this Lease concerning the nature or type of service to
be provided or any specific information concerning the amount thereof to be
provided. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and each of its service
providers in connection with any change in service or provider.
6.06 SIGNAGE
Tenant shall not install any signage within the Project, the Building or the
Premises without obtaining the prior written approval of Landlord, which shall
not unreasonably be withheld provided that such signage shall comply with
Landlord's current Project signage criteria and all Laws, and Tenant shall be
responsible for the installation and maintenance of any such signage installed
by Tenant.
ARTICLE SEVEN

Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. (S)12101 et seq.) and regulations and guidelines
promulgated thereunder, as all of the same may be amended and supplemented from
time to time (collectively referred to herein as the "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
leasehold improvements or other work to be performed in the Premises under or in

necessitated by the Building being deemed to be a "public accommodation" instead
of a "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.
(c) Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate and use commercially reasonable
efforts to participate in traffic management programs generally applicable to
businesses located in or about the area and Tenant shall encourage and support
van and car pooling by, and staggered and flexible working hours for, its office
workers and service employees to the extent reasonably permitted by the
requirements of Tenant's business. Neither this Section or any other provision
of this Lease is intended to or shall create any rights or benefits in any other
person, firm, company, governmental entity or the public.
(d) Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and to comply with any and all
guidelines or controls concerning energy management imposed upon Landlord by
federal or state governmental organizations or by any energy conservation
association to which Landlord is a party or which is applicable to the Building.
7.02 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
(a) Tenant shall not use, generate, manufacture, produce, store, release,
discharge, or dispose of, on, under or about the Premises or any part
11
of the Project, or transport to or from the Premises or any part of the Project,
any Hazardous Material or allow its employees, agents, contractors, licensees,
invitees or any other person or entity to do so. The foregoing covenant shall
not extend to insignificant amounts of substances typically found or used in
general office applications so long as (i) such substances are maintained only
in such quantities as are reasonably necessary for Tenant's operations in the
Premises, (ii) such substances are used strictly in accordance with the
manufacturers' instructions therefor and all applicable laws, (iii) such
substances are not disposed of in or about the Building or the Project in a
manner which would constitute a release or discharge thereof, and (iv) all such

each such Hazardous Material so maintained by Tenant together with written
certification by Tenant stating, in substance, that neither Tenant nor any
person for whom Tenant is responsible has released or discharged any Hazardous
Material in or about the Building or the Project. Landlord's right of entry
pursuant to Section 7.03 of this Lease shall include the right to enter and
inspect the Premises for violations of Tenant's covenants herein.
(b) Hazardous Material shall include by way of illustration, and without
limiting the generality of the definition of Hazardous Material in Section 1.03,
the following: (i) those substances included within the definitions of
"hazardous substances," "hazardous materials," "toxic substances" or "solid
waste" under all present and future federal, state and local laws (whether under
common law, statute, rule, regulation or otherwise) relating to the protection
of human health or the environment, including California Senate Xxxx 245
(Statutes of 1987, Chapter 1302), the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement

-- ---
42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., and the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act,

(c) To the extent permitted by Law, Tenant hereby indemnifies, and agrees
to protect, defend and hold the Indemnitees harmless, against any and all
actions, claims, demands, liability, costs and expenses, including attorneys'
fees and expenses for the defense thereof, arising out of any and all of (i) the
introduction into the Project by Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors,
licensees, invitees or any other person or entity for whom Tenant is responsible
(collectively, "Tenant's Agents") of any Hazardous Material, (ii) the usage by
Tenant or Tenant's Agents of Hazardous Material in or about the Project, (iii)
the discharge or release in or about the Project by Tenant or Tenant's Agents of

action or proceeding brought against the Indemnitees by reason of any such
claim, upon notice from Landlord, Tenant covenants to defend such action or

Landlord reserves the right to settle, compromise or dispose of any and all
actions, claims and demands related to the foregoing indemnity.
(d) Tenant acknowledges that the sewer piping at the Project is made of
ABS plastic. Accordingly, without Landlord's prior written consent, which may be
given or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion, only ordinary domestic sewage
is permitted to be put into the drains at the Premises. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHALL Tenant EVER DEPOSIT ANY ESTERS OR KETONES (USUALLY FOUND IN SOLVENTS TO
CLEAN UP PETROLEUM PRODUCTS) IN THE DRAINS AT THE PREMISES. If Tenant desires to
put any substances other than ordinary domestic sewage into the drains, it shall
first submit to Landlord a complete description of each such substance,
including its chemical composition, and a sample of such substance suitable for
laboratory testing. Landlord shall promptly determine whether or not the
substance can be deposited into the drains and its determination shall be
absolutely binding on Tenant. Upon demand, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for
expenses incurred by Landlord in making such determination. If any substances
not so approved hereunder are deposited in the drains in Tenant's Premises,
Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages resulting therefrom,
including but not limited to all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
repairing or replacing the piping so damaged.
(e) Upon any violation of any of the foregoing covenants, in addition to
all remedies available to a landlord against the defaulting tenant, including
but not limited to those set forth in Article Eleven of this Lease, Tenant
expressly agrees that upon any such violation Landlord may, at its option (i)
immediately terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of such
termination, or (ii) continue this Lease in effect
12
until compliance by Tenant with its clean-up and removal covenant
(notwithstanding the expiration of the Term). No action by Landlord hereunder
shall impair the obligations of Tenant pursuant to this Section 7.02.
7.03 LANDLORD ACCESS TO PREMISES; APPROVALS
(a) Tenant shall permit Landlord to erect, use and maintain pipes, ducts,
wiring and conduits in and through the Premises, so long as Tenant's use, layout
or design of the Premises is not materially affected or altered. Landlord or
Landlord's agents shall have the right to enter upon the Premises in the event
of an emergency or for regularly scheduled janitorial or cleaning services (if
any) without notice, or upon at least twenty-four (24) hours notice to inspect
the Premises, to perform other janitorial services and other services (if any),
to conduct safety and other testing in the Premises and to make such repairs,
alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or the Building or other
parts of the Property as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable (including all
alterations, improvements and additions in connection with a change in service
provider or providers). Janitorial and cleaning services (if any) shall be
performed after normal business hours and shall not materially interfere with
Tenant's occupancy and use of the Premises. Any entry or work by Landlord may
be during normal business hours and Landlord may use reasonable efforts to
ensure that any entry or work shall not materially interfere with Tenant's
occupancy and use of the Premises.
(b) If Tenant shall not be personally present to permit an entry into the
Premises when for any reason an entry therein shall be necessary or permissible,
Landlord (or Landlord's agents), after attempting to notify Tenant (unless
Landlord believes an emergency situation exists), may enter the Premises without
rendering Landlord or its agents liable therefor, and without relieving Tenant
of any obligations under this Lease.
(c) Landlord may enter the Premises for the purpose of conducting such
inspections, tests and studies as Landlord may deem desirable or necessary to
confirm Tenant's compliance with all Laws and Environmental Laws or for other
purposes necessary in Landlord's reasonable judgment to ensure the sound
condition of the Property and the systems serving the Property. Landlord's
rights under this Section 7.03 (c) are for Landlord's own protection only, and
Landlord has not, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any responsibility to
Tenant or any other party as a result of the exercise or non-exercise of such
rights, for compliance with Laws or Environmental Laws or for the accuracy or
sufficiency of any item or the quality or suitability of any item for its
intended use.
(d) Landlord may do any of the foregoing, or undertake any of the
inspection or work described in the preceding paragraphs without such action
constituting an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part,
or giving rise to an abatement of Rent by reason of loss or interruption of
business of the Tenant, or otherwise.
(e) The review, approval or consent of Landlord with respect to any item
required or permitted under this Lease is for Landlord's own protection only,
and Landlord has not, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any
responsibility to Tenant or any other party, as a result of the exercise or non-
exercise of such rights, for compliance with Laws or Environmental Laws or for
the accuracy or sufficiency of any item or the quality or suitability of any
item for its intended use.
7.04 QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord covenants, in lieu of any implied covenant of quiet possession or quiet
enjoyment, that so long as Tenant is in compliance with the covenants and
conditions set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to quiet
enjoyment of the Premises without hindrance or interference from Landlord or
those claiming through Landlord, and subject to the covenants and conditions set
forth in the Lease and to the rights of any Mortgagee or ground lessor.
ARTICLE EIGHT

Subject to Article Fourteen and Section 8.02, Landlord shall maintain the
structural portions of the Building, the roof, exterior walls and exterior

clean and safe condition, and shall use reasonable efforts, through Landlord's
program of regularly scheduled preventive maintenance, to keep the Building's
standard heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") equipment in

performed by Tenant pursuant to the terms of Section 8.02. Landlord shall also
(a) maintain the landscaping, parking facilities and other Common Areas of the
Project, and (b) wash the outside of exterior windows at intervals determined by

law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
13
8.02 TENANT'S MAINTENANCE
Subject to the provisions of Article Fourteen, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, make all repairs to the Premises and fixtures therein which
Landlord is not required to make pursuant to Section 8.01, including repairs to
the interior walls, ceilings and windows of the Premises, the interior doors,
Tenant's signage, and the electrical, life-safety, plumbing and heating,

and shall maintain the Premises, the fixtures and utilities systems therein, and
the area immediately surrounding the Premises (including all garbage

Landlord a copy of any maintenance contract entered into by Tenant with respect
to the Premises. Tenant shall also, at Tenant's expense, keep any non-standard
heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and other non-standard

negligence or carelessness, or by any willful and wrongful act, of Tenant or its
assignees, subtenants or employees, or of the respective agents of any of the
foregoing persons, or of any other persons permitted in the Building or
elsewhere in the Project by Tenant or any of them. Tenant will maintain the
Premises, and will leave the Premises upon termination of this Lease, in a safe,
clean, neat and sanitary condition.
ARTICLE NINE
ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS
9.01 TENANT ALTERATIONS
(a) The following provisions shall apply to the completion of any Tenant
Alterations:
(1) Tenant shall not, except as provided herein, without the prior
written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, make or cause to be made any Tenant Alterations in or to the
Premises or any Property systems serving the Premises. Prior to making any
Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall give Landlord ten (10) days prior written
notice (or such earlier notice as would be necessary pursuant to applicable
Law) to permit Landlord sufficient time to post appropriate notices of non-
responsibility. Subject to all other requirements of this Article Nine,
Tenant may undertake Decoration work without Landlord's prior written
consent. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the names and addresses of all
contractors and subcontractors and copies of all contracts. All Tenant
Alterations shall be completed at such time and in such manner as Landlord
may from time to time designate, and only by contractors or mechanics
approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
provided, however, that Landlord may, in its sole discretion, specify the
engineers and contractors to perform all work relating to the Building's
systems (including the mechanical, heating, plumbing, security,
ventilating, air-conditioning, electrical, communication and the fire and
life safety systems in the Building). The contractors, mechanics and
engineers who may be used are further limited to those whose work will not
cause or threaten to cause disharmony or interference with Landlord or
other tenants in the Building and their respective agents and contractors
performing work in or about the Building. Landlord may further condition
its consent upon Tenant furnishing to Landlord and Landlord approving prior
to the commencement of any work or delivery of materials to the Premises
related to the Tenant Alterations such of the following as specified by
Landlord: architectural plans and specifications, opinions from Landlord's
engineers stating that the Tenant Alterations will not in any way adversely
affect the Building's systems, necessary permits and licenses, certificates
of insurance, and such other documents in such form reasonably requested by
Landlord. Landlord may, in the exercise of reasonable judgment, request
that Tenant provide Landlord with appropriate evidence of Tenant's ability
to complete and pay for the completion of the Tenant Alterations such as a
performance bond or letter of credit. Upon completion of the Tenant
Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an as-built mylar and
digitized (if available) set of plans and specifications for the Tenant
Alterations. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, in any
building leased entirely to Tenant, Tenant may undertake Tenant Alterations
without Landlord's prior written consent, but subject to all other
requirements of this Article Nine, provided that each of the following
conditions are satisfied: (i) the Tenant Alterations to be performed
without such prior written consent over the consecutive twelve (12) month
period of the Term ending on the date of such request, in the aggregate,
will cost no more than Thirty-five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00); (ii) such
Tenant Alterations do not affect the facade or roof of the building, or
involve any of the structural elements of the building.
(2) Tenant shall pay the cost of all Tenant Alterations and the cost
of decorating the Premises and any work to the Property occasioned thereby.
In connection with completion of any Tenant Alterations, Tenant shall pay
Landlord a construction fee not to exceed one and one-half percent (1.5%)
of the hard costs of the Tenant Alterations. Upon completion of Tenant
Alterations, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with contractors' affidavits and
full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all labor and
materials expended and used in connection therewith and such other
documentation reasonably requested by Landlord or Mortgagee.
(3) Tenant agrees to complete all Tenant Alterations (i) in
accordance with all Laws, Environmental Laws, all requirements of
applicable insurance companies and in accordance with
14
Landlord's standard construction rules and regulations, and (ii) in a
good and workmanlike manner with the use of good grades of materials.
Tenant shall notify Landlord immediately if Tenant receives any notice of
violation of any Law in connection with completion of any Tenant
Alterations and shall immediately take such steps as are necessary to
remedy such violation. In no event shall such supervision or right to
supervise by Landlord nor shall any approvals given by Landlord under
this Lease constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy
of the design, workmanship or quality of such work or materials for
Tenant's intended use or of compliance with the requirements of Section
9.01(a)(3)(i) and (ii) above or impose any liability upon Landlord in
connection with the performance of such work.
(b) All Tenant Additions to the Premises whether installed by Landlord
or Tenant, shall without compensation or credit to Tenant, become part of the
Premises and the property of Landlord at the time of their installation and
shall remain in the Premises, unless pursuant to Article Twelve, Tenant may
remove them or is required to remove them at Landlord's request.
9.02 LIENS
Tenant shall not permit any lien or claim for lien of any mechanic, laborer or
supplier or any other lien to be filed against the Building, the Land, the
Premises, or any other part of the Property arising out of work performed, or
alleged to have been performed by, or at the direction of, or on behalf of
Tenant. If any such lien or claim for lien is filed, Tenant shall within ten
(10) days of receiving notice of such lien or claim (a) have such lien or claim
for lien released of record or (b) deliver to Landlord a bond in form, content,
amount, and issued by surety, satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying,
protecting, defending and holding harmless the Indemnitees against all costs and
liabilities resulting from such lien or claim for lien and the foreclosure or
attempted foreclosure thereof. If Tenant fails to take any of the above
actions, Landlord, in addition to its rights and remedies under Article Eleven,
without investigating the validity of such lien or claim for lien, may pay or
discharge the same and Tenant shall, as payment of additional Rent hereunder,
reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord, including
Landlord's expenses and attorneys' fees.
ARTICLE TEN
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
10.01 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
(a) Without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be
withheld in Landlord's sole discretion, Tenant may not sublease, assign,
mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of
this Lease or the encumbering of Tenant's interest therein in whole or in part,
by operation of Law or otherwise or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises,
or any part thereof, by anyone other than Tenant, provided, however, if Landlord
chooses not to recapture the space proposed to be subleased or assigned as
provided in Section 10.02, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent
to a subletting or assignment under this Section 10.01. Tenant agrees that the
provisions governing sublease and assignment set forth in this Article Ten shall
be deemed to be reasonable. If Tenant desires to enter into any sublease of the
Premises or assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver written notice
thereof to Landlord ("Tenant's Notice"), together with the identity of the
proposed subtenant or assignee and the proposed principal terms thereof and
financial and other information sufficient for Landlord to make an informed
judgment with respect to such proposed subtenant or assignee at least thirty
(30) days prior to the commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease or
assignment. If Tenant proposes to sublease less than all of the Rentable Area of
the Premises, the space proposed to be sublet and the space retained by Tenant
must each be a marketable unit as reasonably determined by Landlord and
otherwise in compliance with all Laws. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing
of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment or its
decision to exercise its rights under Section 10.02 within fifteen (15) days
after receipt of Tenant's Notice (and all required information). Tenant shall
submit for Landlord's approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld) any advertising which Tenant or its agents intend to use with respect
to the space proposed to be sublet.
(b) With respect to Landlord's consent to an assignment or sublease,
Landlord may take into consideration any factors which Landlord may deem
relevant, and the reasons for which Landlord's denial shall be deemed to be
reasonable shall include, without limitation, the following:
(i) the business reputation or creditworthiness of any proposed
subtenant or assignee is not acceptable to Landlord; or
(ii) in Landlord's reasonable judgment the proposed assignee or
subtenant would diminish the value or reputation of the Building or
Landlord; or
(iii) any proposed assignee's or subtenant's use of the Premises would
violate Section 7.01 of the Lease or would violate the provisions of any
other leases of tenants in the Project;
(iv) the proposed assignee or subtenant is either a governmental agency,
a school or similar operation, or a medical related practice; or
15
(v) the proposed subtenant or assignee is a bona fide prospective tenant
of Landlord in the Project as demonstrated by a written proposal dated
within ninety (90) days prior to the date of Tenant's request; or
(vi) the proposed subtenant or assignee would materially increase the
estimated pedestrian and vehicular traffic to and from the Premises and
the Building.
In no event shall Landlord be obligated to consider a consent to any proposed
assignment of the Lease which would assign less than the entire Premises. In
the event Landlord wrongfully withholds its consent to any proposed sublease of
the Premises or assignment of the Lease, Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy
therefor shall be to seek specific performance of Landlord's obligations to
consent to such sublease or assignment.
(c) Any sublease or assignment shall be expressly subject to the terms
and conditions of this Lease. Any subtenant or assignee shall execute such
documents as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence such subtenant or
assignee's assumption of the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this
Lease. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all agreements executed by
Tenant and the proposed subtenant and assignee with respect to the Premises.
Landlord's approval of a sublease, assignment, hypothecation, transfer or third
party use or occupancy shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's obligation to
obtain Landlord's consent to further assignments or subleases, hypothecations,
transfers or third party use or occupancy.
(d) For purposes of this Article Ten, an assignment shall be deemed to
include a change in the majority control of Tenant, resulting from any transfer,
sale or assignment of shares of stock or membership interests of Tenant
occurring by operation of Law or otherwise, and includes any merger,
acquisition, consolidation or reorganization, except as otherwise provided in
this Subsection or Subsections (e) or (f) below. Notwithstanding any provision
of this Section to the contrary, an assignment for purposes of this Article does
not include any transfer of control of the stock or membership interests of
Tenant through (i) any public offering of shares of stock in Tenant in
accordance with applicable State and Federal law, rules, regulations and orders
if thereafter the stock shall be listed and publicly traded through the New York
Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or Pacific Stock Exchange, or listed and
publicly traded through the NASDAQ national market and its price listed at least
daily in the Wall Street Journal; or (ii) public sale of such stock effected
-------------------
through such Exchanges or the NASDAQ national market. If Tenant is a
partnership, any change in the partners of Tenant shall be deemed to be an
assignment.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 10.01(a) and
10.02, but subject to Section 10.03, Tenant shall have the right, without the
prior written consent of Landlord, to assign this Lease to an Affiliate (defined
below) or to sublease the Premises or any part thereof to an Affiliate provided
that (i) Landlord receives thirty (30) days prior written notice of an
assignment or sublease; (ii) the Affiliate's net worth is not less than Tenant's
net worth immediately prior to the assignment or subletting (except with respect
to any sublease or subleases to the same entity, in either case in the aggregate
for less than half of the then Rentable Area of the Premises); (iii) the
Affiliate has proven experience in the operation of a first-class business of a
type consistent with the use of the Building; (iv) the Affiliate assumes (except
in the event of a sublease) in writing satisfactory to Landlord all of Tenant's
obligations and liability under this Lease and delivers to Landlord a proposed
assumption no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the
assignment and a fully executed original of such assumption no later than the
effective date; (v) Landlord receives no later than the effective date a fully
executed copy of an assignment or sublease agreement between Tenant and the
Affiliate; and (vi) promptly after Landlord's written request, Tenant and the
Affiliate provide such reasonable documents or information which Landlord
reasonably requests for the purpose of substantiating whether or not the
assignment or sublease is to an Affiliate.
(f) For purposes of this Lease, Affiliate shall mean any Person (as
defined below) which: (i) is controlled by, controls, or is under common control
with Tenant; or (ii) is the corporation or other entity (the "Successor")
resulting from a merger, consolidation or non-bankruptcy reorganization with
Tenant; or (iii) purchases substantially all the assets of Tenant as a going
concern. The word Person means an individual, corporation, limited liability
company, partnership, trust, firm or other entity. For purposes of this
definition, the word "control," shall mean, with respect to a Person that is a
corporation or a limited liability company, the right to exercise, directly or
indirectly, more than sixty percent (60%) of the voting rights attributable to
the shares or membership interests of the controlled Person and, with respect to
a Person that is not a corporation, the possession, directly or indirectly, of
the power at all times to direct or cause the direction of the management of the
controlled Person.
10.02 RECAPTURE
Landlord shall have the option to exclude from the Premises covered by this
Lease ("recapture"), the space proposed to be sublet or subject to the
assignment, effective as of the proposed commencement date of such sublease or
assignment. If Landlord elects to recapture, Tenant shall surrender possession
of the space proposed to be subleased or subject to the assignment to Landlord
on the effective date of recapture of such space from the Premises, such date
being the Termination Date for such space. Effective as of the date of recapture
of any portion of the Premises pursuant to this section, the Monthly Base Rent,
Rentable Area of the Premises and Tenant's Share shall be adjusted accordingly.
Provided that Tenant is not then in
16
Default and there exists no act or omission on the part of Tenant which, with
the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a
Default, then the required amount of the Security Deposit shall be reduced
proportionately, and within fifteen (15) business days after the effective date
of the recapture Landlord shall refund to Tenant the proportionate amount held
by Landlord attributable to the recaptured portion.
10.03 EXCESS RENT
Tenant shall pay Landlord on the first day of each month during the term of the
sublease or assignment, seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount by which the
sum of all rent and other consideration (direct or indirect) due from the
subtenant or assignee for such month exceeds: (i) that portion of the Monthly
Base Rent and Rent Adjustments due under this Lease for said month which is
allocable to the space sublet or assigned; and (ii) the following costs and
expenses for the subletting or assignment of such space: (1) brokerage
commissions and attorneys' fees and expenses, (2) the actual costs paid in
making any improvements or substitutions in the Premises required by any
sublease or assignment; and (3) "free rent" periods, costs of any inducements or
concessions given to subtenant or assignee, moving costs, and other amounts in
respect of such subtenant's or assignee's other leases or occupancy
arrangements. All such costs and expenses shall be amortized over the term of
the sublease or assignment pursuant to sound accounting principles.
10.04 TENANT LIABILITY
In the event of any sublease or assignment, whether or not with Landlord's
consent, Tenant shall not be released or discharged from any liability, whether
past, present or future, under this Lease, including any liability arising from
the exercise of any renewal or expansion option, to the extent such exercise is
expressly permitted by Landlord. Tenant's liability shall remain primary, and
in the event of default by any subtenant, assignee or successor of Tenant in
performance or observance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease,
Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting
remedies against said subtenant, assignee or successor. After any assignment,
Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease, or
amendments or modifications of this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without
notifying Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their
consent thereto, and such action shall not relieve Tenant or any successor of
Tenant of liability under this Lease. If Landlord grants consent to such
sublease or assignment, Tenant shall pay all reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to such assignment or sublease. In
addition, if Tenant has any options to extend the term of this Lease or to add
other space to the Premises, such options shall not be available to any
subtenant or assignee, directly or indirectly without Landlord's express written
consent, which may be withheld in Landlord's sole discretion.
10.05 ASSUMPTION AND ATTORNMENT
If Tenant shall assign this Lease as permitted herein, the assignee shall
expressly assume all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder in a written
instrument satisfactory to Landlord and furnished to Landlord not later than
fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the assignment. If Tenant
shall sublease the Premises as permitted herein, Tenant shall, at Landlord's
option, within fifteen (15) days following any request by Landlord, obtain and
furnish to Landlord the written agreement of such subtenant to the effect that
the subtenant will attorn to Landlord and will pay all subrent directly to
Landlord.
ARTICLE ELEVEN
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
11.01 EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following shall constitute
a "Default" by Tenant under this Lease:
(i) Tenant fails to pay any installment or other payment of Rent
including Rent Adjustment Deposits or Rent Adjustments within three (3)
days after the date when due;
(ii) Tenant fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants,
conditions or provisions of this Lease and fails to cure such default
within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant, unless the
default involves a hazardous condition, which shall be cured forthwith or
unless the failure to perform is a Default for which this Lease specifies
there is no cure or grace period, provided however, if the default is one
to which the thirty (30) day cure period applies and of such nature that it
cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall be in
Default if Tenant either fails to commence to cure such default within
thirty (30) days or fails diligently to prosecute such cure to completion
or in any event fails to complete such cure within ninety (90) days after
such written notice from Landlord;
(iii) the interest of Tenant in this Lease is levied upon under
execution or other legal process;
17
(iv) a petition is filed by or against Tenant to declare Tenant
bankrupt or seeking a plan of reorganization or arrangement under any
Chapter of the Bankruptcy Act, or any amendment, replacement or
substitution therefor, or to delay payment of, reduce or modify Tenant's
debts, which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged
within thirty (30) days;
(v) Tenant is declared insolvent by Law or any assignment of
Tenant's property is made for the benefit of creditors;
(vi) a receiver is appointed for Tenant or Tenant's property,
which appointment is not discharged within thirty (30) days;
(vii) any action taken by or against Tenant to reorganize or
modify Tenant's capital structure in a materially adverse way which in
the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within thirty (30)
days;
(viii) upon the dissolution of Tenant; or
(ix) upon the third occurrence within any Lease Year that
Tenant fails to pay Rent when due or has breached a particular covenant
of this Lease (whether or not such failure or breach is thereafter cured
within any stated cure or grace period or statutory period).
11.02 LANDLORD'S REMEDIES
(a) A Default shall constitute a breach of the Lease for which
Landlord shall have the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 11.02 and
all other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease or now or hereafter
allowed by Law, whether legal or equitable, and all rights and remedies of
Landlord shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other right or remedy.
(b) With respect to a Default, at any time Landlord may terminate
Tenant's right to possession by written notice to Tenant stating such election.
Any written notice required pursuant to Section 11.01 shall constitute notice of
unlawful detainer pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161
if, at Landlord's sole discretion, it states Landlord's election that Tenant's
right to possession is terminated after expiration of any period required by Law
or any longer period required by Section 11.01. Upon the expiration of the
period stated in Landlord's written notice of termination (and unless such
notice provides an option to cure within such period and Tenant cures the
Default within such period), Tenant's right to possession shall terminate and
this Lease shall terminate, and Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter
provided. Upon such termination in writing of Tenant's right to possession,
Landlord shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to re-enter the
Premises and dispossess Tenant and the legal representatives of Tenant and all
other occupants of the Premises by unlawful detainer or other summary
proceedings, or otherwise as permitted by Law, regain possession of the Premises
and remove their property (including their trade fixtures, personal property and
those Tenant Additions which Tenant is required or permitted to remove under
Article Twelve), but Landlord shall not be obligated to effect such removal, and
such property may, at Landlord's option, be stored elsewhere, sold or otherwise
dealt with as permitted by Law, at the risk of, expense of and for the account
of Tenant, and the proceeds of any sale shall be applied pursuant to Law.
Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or
safekeeping of any such property. Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages
that may be caused by Landlord's removing or storing Tenant's personal property
pursuant to this Section or Section 12.01, and Tenant hereby indemnifies, and
agrees to defend, protect and hold harmless, the Indemnitees from any and all
loss, claims, demands, actions, expenses, liability and cost (including
attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of or in any way related to such
removal or storage. Upon such written termination of Tenant's right to
possession and this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to recover damages for
Tenant's Default as provided herein or by Law, including the following damages
provided by California Civil Code Section 1951.2:
(1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which
had been earned at the time of termination;
(2) 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 Rent loss that Tenant proves could
reasonably have been avoided ;
(3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of
award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could be
reasonably avoided; and
(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all
the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things
would be likely to result therefrom. The word "rent" as used in this
Section 11.02 shall have the same meaning as the defined term Rent in
this Lease. The "worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in
clauses (1) and (2) above is computed by allowing interest at the Default
Rate. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in clause
(3) above 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%). For the purpose of determining unpaid Rent under clause (3)
18
above, the monthly Rent reserved in this Lease shall be deemed to be the
sum of the Monthly Base Rent, and monthly Storage Space Rent, if any, and
the amounts last payable by Tenant as Rent Adjustments for the calendar
year in which Landlord terminated this Lease as provided hereinabove.
(c) Even if Tenant is in Default and/or has abandoned the Premises,
this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate
Tenant's right to possession by written notice as provided in Section 11.02(b)
above, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease,
including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due under this Lease. In such
event, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies of a landlord under
California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue Lease in effect after
Tenant's Default and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant
has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), or
any successor statute. During such time as Tenant is in Default, if Landlord has
not terminated this Lease by written notice and if Tenant requests Landlord's
consent to an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises, subject to
Landlord's option to recapture pursuant to Section 10.02, Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to such assignment or sublease. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Article Ten shall be deemed to
constitute reasonable limitations of Tenant's right to assign or sublet. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that in the absence of written notice pursuant to
Section 11.02(b) above terminating Tenant's right to possession, no other act of
Landlord shall constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession or an
acceptance of Tenant's surrender of the Premises, including acts of maintenance
or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a
receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord's interest under this
Lease or the withholding of consent to a subletting or assignment, or
terminating a subletting or assignment, if in accordance with other provisions
of this Lease.
(d) In the event that Landlord seeks an injunction with respect to a
breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants, conditions or
provisions of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay the premium for any bond required
in connection with such injunction.
(e) Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to relief from
forfeiture, redemption or reinstatement granted by Law (including California
Civil Code of Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179) in the event of Tenant being
evicted or dispossessed for any cause or in the event of Landlord obtaining
possession of the Premises by reason of Tenant's Default or otherwise;
(f) When this Lease requires giving or service of a notice, that
notice shall replace rather than supplement any equivalent or similar statutory
notice, including any equivalent or similar notices required by California Code
of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor statute. When a
statute requires service of a notice in a particular manner, service of that
notice (or a similar notice required by this Lease) in the manner required by
Article Twenty-four shall replace and satisfy the statutory service-of-notice
procedures, including those required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1162 or
any similar or successor statute.
(g) The voluntary or other surrender or termination of this Lease, or
a mutual termination or cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and shall
terminate all or any existing assignments, subleases, subtenancies or
occupancies permitted by Tenant, except if and as otherwise specified in writing
by Landlord.
(h) No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of
Landlord upon any default by Tenant, and no exercise by Landlord of its rights
pursuant to Section 26.15 to perform any duty which Tenant fails timely to
perform, shall impair any right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No
provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by Landlord unless such waiver is
in a writing signed by Landlord. The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any
provision of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of
the same or any other provision of this Lease.
11.03 ATTORNEY'S FEES
In the event any party brings any suit or other proceeding with respect to the
subject matter or enforcement of this Lease, the prevailing party (as determined
by the court, agency or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is
commenced) shall, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, be
entitled to recover attorneys' fees, expenses and costs of investigation as
actually incurred, including court costs, expert witness fees, costs and
expenses of investigation, and all attorneys' fees, costs and expenses in any
such suit or proceeding (including in any action or participation in or in
connection with any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Xxxx, 00 Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx Code Sections 101 et seq., or any successor statutes, in establishing or
------
enforcing the right to indemnification, in appellate proceedings, or in
connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any
such suit or proceeding).
11.04 BANKRUPTCY
The following provisions shall apply in the event of the bankruptcy or
insolvency of Tenant:
(a) In connection with any proceeding under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code where the trustee of Tenant elects to assume this Lease for the
purposes of assigning it, such election or assignment, may only be made upon
compliance with the provisions of (b) and (c) below, which conditions Landlord
and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable. In the event the trustee
elects to reject this Lease then
19
Landlord shall immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without
further obligation to Tenant or the trustee.
(b) Any election to assume this Lease under Chapter 11 or 13 of the
Bankruptcy Code by Tenant as debtor-in-possession or by Tenant's trustee (the
"Electing Party") must provide for:
The Electing Party to cure or provide to Landlord adequate assurance that
it will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease within fifteen (15)
days from the date of assumption and it will cure all nonmonetary defaults
under this Lease within thirty (30) days from the date of assumption.
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge such condition to be commercially
reasonable.
(c) If the Electing Party has assumed this Lease or elects to assign
Tenant's interest under this Lease to any other person, such interest may be
assigned only if the intended assignee has provided adequate assurance of future
performance (as herein defined), of all of the obligations imposed on Tenant
under this Lease.
For the purposes hereof, "adequate assurance of future performance" means
that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has
been satisfied:
(i) The assignee has submitted a current financial statement,
certified by its chief financial officer, which shows a net worth and
working capital in amounts sufficient to assure the future performance by
the assignee of Tenant's obligations under this Lease; and
(ii) Landlord has obtained consents or waivers from any third parties
which may be required under a lease, mortgage, financing arrangement, or
other agreement by which Landlord is bound, to enable Landlord to permit
such assignment.
(d) Landlord's acceptance of rent or any other payment from any trustee,
receiver, assignee, person, or other entity will not be deemed to have waived,
or waive, the requirement of Landlord's consent, Landlord's right to terminate
this Lease for any transfer of Tenant's interest under this Lease without such
consent, or Landlord's claim for any amount of Rent due from Tenant.
11.05 LANDLORD'S DEFAULT
Landlord shall be in default hereunder in the event Landlord has not begun and
pursued with reasonable diligence the cure of any failure of Landlord to meet
its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Landlord
of written notice from Tenant of the alleged failure to perform. In no event
shall Tenant have the right to terminate or rescind this Lease as a result of
Landlord's default as to any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease.
Tenant hereby waives such remedies of termination and rescission and hereby
agrees that Tenant's remedies for default hereunder and for breach of any
promise or inducement shall be limited to a suit for damages and/or injunction.
In addition, Tenant hereby covenants that, prior to the exercise of any such
remedies, it will give Mortgagee notice and a reasonable time to cure any
default by Landlord.

tenantable condition, ordinary wear and tear, and damage caused by Landlord
excepted. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises. Tenant
shall remove from the Premises all movable personal property of Tenant and
Tenant's trade fixtures, including, subject to Section 6.04, cabling for any of
the foregoing. Tenant shall be entitled to remove such Tenant Additions which at
the time of their installation Landlord and Tenant agreed may be removed by

immediately shall repair all damage resulting from removal of any of Tenant's
property, furnishings or Tenant Additions, shall close all floor, ceiling and
roof openings and shall restore the Premises to a tenantable condition as
reasonably determined by Landlord. If any of the Tenant Additions which were

installation of specialized wall or floor coverings or lights, then Tenant shall
also be obligated to return such surfaces to their condition prior to the
commencement of this Lease. Tenant shall also be required to close any
staircases or other openings between floors. In the event possession of the
Premises is not delivered to Landlord when required hereunder, or if Tenant
shall fail to remove those items described above, Landlord may (but shall not be
obligated to), at Tenant's expense, remove any of such property and store, sell
or otherwise deal with such property as provided in Section 11.02(b), including
the waiver and indemnity obligations provided in that Section, and undertake, at
Tenant's expense, such restoration work as Landlord deems necessary or
advisable.

12.02 LANDLORD'S RIGHTS
All property which may be removed from the Premises by Landlord shall be
conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by Tenant and Landlord may deal
with such property as provided in Section 11.02(b), including the waiver and

Lease at the Termination Date.
ARTICLE THIRTEEN

(125%) of the monthly Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the
holding over (including increases for Rent Adjustments which Landlord may
reasonably estimate) or, (ii) one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the
fair market rental value of the Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord
for each month or portion thereof that Tenant retains possession of the
Premises, or any portion thereof, after the Termination Date (without reduction
for any partial month that Tenant retains possession). Tenant shall also pay
all damages sustained by Landlord by reason of such retention of possession.
The provisions of this Article shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any
re-entry rights of Landlord and Tenant's continued occupancy of the Premises
shall be as a tenancy in sufferance.
ARTICLE FOURTEEN
DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY
14.01 SUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY
(a) If any fire or other casualty (whether insured or uninsured) renders
all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable,
Landlord shall, with reasonable promptness after the occurrence of such damage,
estimate the length of time that will be required to substantially complete the
repair and restoration and shall by notice advise Tenant of such estimate
("Landlord's Notice"). If Landlord estimates that the amount of time required
to substantially complete such repair and restoration will exceed one hundred
eighty (180) days from the date such damage occurred, then Landlord, or Tenant
if all or a substantial portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable, shall
have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage upon giving
written notice to the other at any time within twenty (20) days after delivery
of Landlord's Notice, provided that if Landlord so chooses, Landlord's Notice
may also constitute such notice of termination.
(b) In the event that the Building is damaged or destroyed to the extent
of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of its replacement cost or to any extent
if no insurance proceeds or insufficient insurance proceeds are receivable by
Landlord, or if the buildings at the Project shall be damaged to the extent of
fifty percent (50%) or more of the replacement value or to any extent if no
insurance proceeds or insufficient insurance proceeds are receivable by
Landlord, and regardless of whether or not the Premises be damaged, Landlord may
elect by written notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the
occurrence of the casualty to terminate this Lease in lieu of so restoring the
Premises, in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in
Landlord's notice, which date shall be no later than sixty (60) days following
the date of Landlord's notice.
(c) Unless this Lease is terminated as provided in the preceding
Subsections 14.01 (a) and (b), Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness
to repair and restore the Premises to its condition as existed prior to such
casualty, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and Force
Majeure delays, and also subject to zoning Laws and building codes then in
effect. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to terminate this Lease if such repairs and restoration are not in fact
completed within the time period estimated by Landlord so long as Landlord shall
proceed with reasonable diligence to complete such repairs and restoration.
(d) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall be entitled to the full
proceeds of any insurance coverage, whether carried by Landlord or Tenant, for
damages to the Premises, except for those proceeds of Tenant's insurance of its
own personal property and equipment which would be removable by Tenant at the
Termination Date. All such insurance proceeds shall be payable to Landlord
whether or not the Premises are to be repaired and restored, provided, however,
if this Lease is not terminated and the parties proceed to repair and restore
Tenant Additions at Tenant's cost, to the extent Landlord received proceeds of
Tenant's insurance covering Tenant Additions, such proceeds shall be applied to
reimburse Tenant for its cost of repairing and restoring Tenant Additions.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Article Fourteen to the contrary:
(i) Landlord shall have no duty pursuant to this Section to repair or restore
any portion of any Tenant Additions or to expend for any repair or restoration
of the Premises or Building amounts in excess of insurance proceeds paid to
Landlord and available for repair or restoration; and (ii) Tenant shall not have
the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section if any damage or
destruction was caused by the act or neglect of Tenant, its agent or employees.
Whether or not the Lease is terminated pursuant to this Article Fourteen, in no
event shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages for loss of the
use of the whole or any part of the
21
Premises or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by any such damage,
destruction, rebuilding or restoration of the Premises or the Building or access
thereto.
(f) Any repair or restoration of the Premises performed by Tenant shall
be in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine hereof.
14.02 INSUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY
Unless this Lease is terminated as provided in the preceding Subsections 14.01
(a) and (b), then Landlord shall proceed to repair and restore the Building or
the Premises other than Tenant Additions, with reasonable promptness, unless
such damage is to the Premises and occurs during the last six (6) months of the
Term, in which event either Tenant or Landlord shall have the right to terminate
this Lease as of the date of such casualty by giving written notice thereof to
the other within twenty (20) days after the date of such casualty.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's obligation to repair shall be limited
in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.01 above.
14.03 RENT ABATEMENT
Except for the negligence or willful act of Tenant or its agents, employees,
contractors or invitees, if all or any part of the Premises are rendered
untenantable by fire or other casualty and this Lease is not terminated, Monthly
Base Rent and Rent Adjustments shall xxxxx for that part of the Premises which
is untenantable on a per diem basis from the date of the casualty until Landlord
has Substantially Completed the repair and restoration work in the Premises
which it is required to perform, provided, that as a result of such casualty,
Tenant does not occupy the portion of the Premises which is untenantable during
such period.
14.04 WAIVER OF STATUTORY REMEDIES
The provisions of this Lease, including this Article Fourteen, constitute an
express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage
to, or destruction of, the Premises or the Property or any part of either, and
any Law, including Sections 1932(2), 1933(4), 1941 and 1942 of the California
Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or
destruction shall have no application to this Lease or to any damage to or
destruction of all or any part of the Premises or the Property or any part of
either, and are hereby waived.
ARTICLE FIFTEEN
EMINENT DOMAIN
15.01 TAKING OF WHOLE OR SUBSTANTIAL PART
In the event the whole or any substantial part of the Building or all of the
Premises is taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or
purpose (including a deed given in lieu of condemnation) and is thereby rendered
untenantable, this Lease shall terminate as of the date title vests in such
authority or any earlier date on which possession is required to be surrendered
to such authority, and Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments shall be
apportioned as of the Termination Date. Further, if at least twenty-five
percent (25%) of the rentable area of the Project is taken or condemned by any
competent authority for any public use or purpose (including a deed given in
lieu of condemnation), and regardless of whether or not the Premises be so taken
or condemned, Landlord may elect by written notice to Tenant to terminate this
Lease as of the date title vests in such authority or any earlier date on which
possession is required to be surrendered to such authority, and Monthly Base
Rent and Rent Adjustments shall be apportioned as of the Termination Date.
Landlord may, without any obligation to Tenant, agree to sell or convey to the
taking authority the Premises, the Building, Tenant's Phase, the Project or any
portion thereof sought by the taking authority, free from this Lease and the
right of Tenant hereunder, without first requiring that any action or proceeding
be instituted or, if instituted, pursued to a judgment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein set forth, in the event the taking of the
Building or Premises is temporary (for less than the remaining term of the
Lease), Landlord may elect either (i) to terminate this Lease or (ii) permit
Tenant to receive the entire award attributable to the Premises in which case
Tenant shall continue to pay Rent and this Lease shall not terminate.
15.02 TAKING OF PART
In the event part of the Building or the Premises is taken or condemned by any
competent authority (or a deed is delivered in lieu of condemnation) and this
Lease is not terminated, the Lease shall be amended to reduce or increase, as
the case may be, the Monthly Base Rent and Tenant's Share to reflect the
Rentable Area of the Premises or Building, as the case may be, remaining after
any such taking or condemnation. Landlord, upon receipt and to the extent of the
award in condemnation (or proceeds of sale) shall make necessary repairs and
restorations to the Premises (exclusive of Tenant Additions) and to the Building
to the extent necessary to constitute the portion of the Building not so taken
or condemned as a complete architectural and economically efficient unit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of any taking, or a governmental
order that the grade of any street or alley adjacent to the Building is to be
changed and such taking or change of grade makes it necessary or desirable to
substantially remodel or restore the Building or prevents the economical
operation of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease
upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to Tenant.
22
15.03 COMPENSATION
Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award (or sale proceeds) from
any such taking, condemnation or sale without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant
hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant's interest, if any, in such award; provided,
however, Tenant shall have the right separately to pursue against the condemning
authority a separate award in respect of the loss, if any, to Tenant Additions
paid for by Tenant without any credit or allowance from Landlord, for fixtures
or personal property of Tenant, or for relocation or business interruption
expenses, so long as there is no diminution of Landlord's award as a result.
ARTICLE SIXTEEN

Lease, of any owned, non-owned or hired motor vehicles; and (e) such other
insurance or coverages as Landlord reasonably requires.
16.02 FORM OF POLICIES
Each policy referred to in 16.01 shall satisfy the following requirements. Each
policy shall (i) name Landlord and the Indemnitees as additional insureds
(except Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability Insurance), (ii) be
issued by one or more responsible insurance companies licensed to do business in
the State of California reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (iii) where
applicable, provide for deductible amounts satisfactory to Landlord and not
permit co-insurance, (iv) shall provide that such insurance may not be canceled
or amended without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Landlord, and
(v) each policy of "All-Risks" property insurance shall provide that the policy
shall not be invalidated should the insured waive in writing prior to a loss,

16.03 LANDLORD'S INSURANCE
Landlord agrees to purchase and keep in full force and effect during the Term
hereof, including any extensions or renewals thereof, insurance under policies
issued by insurers of recognized responsibility, qualified to do business in the
State of California on the Building in amounts not less than the greater of
eighty (80%) percent of the then full replacement cost (without depreciation) of
the Building (above foundations and excluding Tenant Additions to the Premises)
or an amount sufficient to prevent Landlord from becoming a co-insurer under the
terms of the applicable policies, against fire and such other risks as may be
included in standard forms of all risk coverage insurance reasonably available
from time to time. Landlord agrees to maintain in force during the Term,
Commercial General Liability Insurance covering the Building on an occurrence
basis against all claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death and property
damage. Such insurance shall be for a combined single limit of Five Million and
No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00). Neither Landlord's obligation to carry such
insurance nor the carrying of such insurance shall be deemed to be an indemnity
by Landlord with respect to any claim, liability, loss, cost or expense due, in
whole or in part, to Tenant's negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct.
Without obligation to do so, Landlord may, in its sole discretion from time to
time, carry insurance in amounts greater and/or for coverage additional to the
coverage and amounts set forth above.
16.04 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
(a) Landlord agrees that, if obtainable at no, or minimal, additional
cost, and so long as the same is permitted under the laws of the State of
California, it will include in its "All Risks" policies appropriate clauses

against Tenant with respect to losses payable under such policies and/or (ii)
agree that such policies shall not be invalidated should the insured waive in
writing prior to a loss any or all right of recovery against any party for
losses covered by such policies.
23
(b) Tenant agrees to include, if obtainable at no, or minimal,
additional cost, and so long as the same is permitted under the laws of the
State of California, in its "All Risks" insurance policy or policies on Tenant
Additions to the Premises, whether or not removable, and on Tenant's furniture,
furnishings, fixtures and other property removable by Tenant under the
provisions of this Lease appropriate clauses pursuant to which the insurance
company or companies (i) waive the right of subrogation against Landlord and/or
any tenant of space in the Building with respect to losses payable under such
policy or policies and/or (ii) agree that such policy or policies shall not be
invalidated should the insured waive in writing prior to a loss any or all right
of recovery against any party for losses covered by such policy or policies. If
Tenant is unable to obtain in such policy or policies either of the clauses
described in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall, if legally possible and
without necessitating a change in insurance carriers, have Landlord named in
such policy or policies as an additional insured. If Landlord shall be named as
an additional insured in accordance with the foregoing, Landlord agrees to
endorse promptly to the order of Tenant, without recourse, any check, draft, or
order for the payment of money representing the proceeds of any such policy or
representing any other payment growing out of or connected with said policies,
and Landlord does hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights in and to such
proceeds and payments.
(c) Provided that Landlord's right of full recovery under its policy or
policies aforesaid is not adversely affected or prejudiced thereby, Landlord
hereby waives any and all right of recovery which it might otherwise have
against Tenant, its servants, agents and employees, for loss or damage occurring
to the Real Property and the fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein,
except Tenant Additions, to the extent the same is covered by Landlord's
insurance, notwithstanding that such loss or damage may result from the
negligence or fault of Tenant, its servants, agents or employees. Provided that
Tenant's right of full recovery under its aforesaid policy or policies is not
adversely affected or prejudiced thereby, Tenant hereby waives any and all
right of recovery which it might otherwise have against Landlord, its servants,
and employees and against every other tenant in the Real Property who shall have
executed a similar waiver as set forth in this Section 16.04 (c) for loss or
damage to Tenant Additions, whether or not removable, and to Tenant's furniture,
furnishings, fixtures and other property removable by Tenant under the
provisions hereof to the extent the same is covered or coverable by Tenant's
insurance required under this Lease, notwithstanding that such loss or damage
may result from the negligence or fault of Landlord, its servants, agents or
employees, or such other tenant and the servants, agents or employees thereof.
(d) Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to advise the other promptly if the
clauses to be included in their respective insurance policies pursuant to
subparagraphs (a) and (b) above cannot be obtained on the terms hereinbefore
provided and thereafter to furnish the other with a certificate of insurance or
copy of such policies showing the naming of the other as an additional insured,
as aforesaid. Landlord and Tenant hereby also agree to notify the other
promptly of any cancellation or change of the terms of any such policy which
would affect such clauses or naming. All such policies which name both Landlord
and Tenant as additional insureds shall, to the extent obtainable, contain
agreements by the insurers to the effect that no act or omission of any
additional insured will invalidate the policy as to the other additional
insureds.
16.05 NOTICE OF CASUALTY
Tenant shall give Landlord notice in case of a fire or accident in the Premises
promptly after Tenant is aware of such event.

all claims for, damage to person or property sustained by the Tenant or any
occupant of the Premises or the Property resulting directly or indirectly from
any existing or future condition, defect, matter or thing in and about the
Premises or the Property or any part of either or any equipment or appurtenance
therein, or resulting from any accident in or about the Premises or the
Property, or resulting directly or indirectly from any act or neglect of any
tenant or occupant of the Property or of any other person, including Landlord's

any consequential damages, compensation or claims for inconvenience or loss of
business, rents, or profits as a result of such injury or damage, whether or not
caused by the willful and wrongful act of any of the Indemnitees. If any such
damage, whether to the Premises or the Property or any part of either, or
whether to Landlord or to other tenants in the Property, results from any act or
neglect of Tenant, its employees, servants, agents, contractors, invitees or
customers, Tenant shall be liable therefor and Landlord may, at Landlord's
option, repair such damage and Tenant shall, upon demand by Landlord, as payment
of additional Rent hereunder, reimburse Landlord within ten (10) days of demand
for the total cost of such repairs, in excess of amounts, if any, paid to
Landlord under insurance covering such damages. Tenant shall not be liable for
any such damage caused by its acts or neglect if Landlord or a tenant has
recovered the full amount of the damage from proceeds of insurance policies and
the insurance company has waived its right of subrogation against Tenant.

17.02 INDEMNITY BY TENANT
To the extent permitted by Law, Tenant hereby indemnifies, and agrees to
protect, defend and hold the Indemnitees harmless, against any and all actions,

agreement on the part of Tenant to be performed pursuant to the terms of this
Lease, or from any willful act or negligence of Tenant, its agents, contractors,
servants, employees, customers or invitees, in or about the Premises or the
Property or any part of either. In case of any action or proceeding brought
against the Indemnitees by reason of any such claim, upon notice from Landlord,
Tenant covenants to defend such action or proceeding by counsel chosen by
Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion. Landlord reserves the right to settle,
compromise or dispose of any and all actions, claims and demands related to the
foregoing indemnity. The foregoing indemnity shall not operate to relieve
Indemnitees of liability to the extent such liability is caused by the willful
and wrongful act of Indemnitees. Further, the foregoing indemnity is subject to
and shall not diminish any waivers in effect in accordance with Section 16.04 by
Landlord or its insurers to the extent of amounts, if any, paid to Landlord
under its "All-Risks" property insurance.

agrees to pay any commission, fees or compensation to which Tenant's Broker is
entitled in connection with the subject matter of this Lease and agrees that
neither Landlord nor Landlord's Broker is obligated to pay or fund any amount to
Tenant's Broker. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold
Landlord and the Indemnitees (including Landlord's Broker) harmless from and
against any and all liabilities and claims for commissions, fees or any
compensation by Tenant's Broker or any other broker arising out of any
discussion allegedly had by Tenant with any such broker in connection with the

this Lease. Landlord hereby agrees to pay any commission to which Landlord's
Broker is entitled in connection with the subject matter of this Lease pursuant

ARTICLE TWENTY-THREE
MORTGAGEE PROTECTION
23.01 SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
(a) Subject to Section 23.01(b) hereof, this Lease is and shall be
expressly subject and subordinate at all times to (i) any ground or underlying
lease of the Real Property, now or hereafter existing, and all amendments,
extensions, renewals and modifications to any such lease, and (ii) the lien of
any mortgage or trust deed now or hereafter encumbering fee title to the Real
Property and/or the leasehold estate under any such lease, and all amendments,
extensions, renewals, replacements and modifications of such mortgage or trust
deed and/or the obligation secured thereby, unless such ground lease or ground
lessor, or mortgage, trust deed or Mortgagee, expressly provides or elects that
the Lease shall be superior to such lease or mortgage or trust deed. If any
such mortgage or trust deed is foreclosed (including any sale of the Real
Property pursuant to a power of sale), or if any such lease is terminated, upon
request of the Mortgagee or ground lessor, as the case may be, Tenant shall
attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to the ground lessor under
such lease, as the case may be, provided, however, that such purchaser or ground
lessor shall not be (i) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one month in
advance except payments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant
of its obligations under this Lease; (ii) subject to any offset, defense or
damages arising out of a default of any obligations of any preceding Landlord;
or (iii) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the
written consent of the Mortgagee or ground lessor; or (iv) liable for any
security deposits not actually received in cash by such
26
purchaser or ground lessor. This subordination shall be self-operative and no
further certificate or instrument of subordination need be required by any such
Mortgagee or ground lessor. In confirmation of such subordination, however,
Tenant shall execute promptly any reasonable certificate or instrument that
Landlord, Mortgagee or ground lessor may request. Tenant hereby constitutes
Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact to execute such certificate or instrument
for and on behalf of Tenant upon Tenant's failure to do so within fifteen (15)
days of a request to do so. Upon request by such successor in interest, Tenant
shall execute and deliver reasonable instruments confirming the attornment
provided for herein.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary,
provided that: (i) Tenant pays any fees and costs associated with requesting a
nondisturbance agreement, (ii) Tenant executes and delivers a subordination,
nondisturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D
hereto, with such changes thereto as any lessor under a ground or underlying
lease or mortgagee or beneficiary may reasonably require ("Nondisturbance
Agreement") and complies with the provisions thereof, and (iii) Tenant is not in
default under this Lease, no termination of any ground lease or underlying lease
and no foreclosure, sale pursuant to power of sale or conveyance by deed in lieu
of foreclosure shall affect Tenant's rights under this Lease, except to the
extent provided by such Nondisturbance Agreement. If Tenant fails to execute and
deliver any Nondisturbance Agreement within fifteen (15) days of a request
therefor from Landlord, Tenant hereby constitutes Landlord as Tenant's attorney-
in-fact to execute and deliver such instrument. Landlord's inability to obtain
the signature of any such lessor or Mortgagee on any such Nondisturbance
Agreement shall not constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease, but so
long as default by Tenant under this Lease is not the reason for Landlord's
inability to obtain such signature, any such lessor or Mortgagee shall be deemed
to have elected that this Lease be superior to the lease, mortgage or deed of
trust in question, and Tenant shall, at the request of such lessor, mortgagee or
beneficiary (or purchaser at any sale pursuant to the mortgage or deed of
trust), attorn to any such party or enter into a new lease with such party (as
Landlord) for the balance of the Term then remaining hereunder upon the same
terms and conditions as those herein, provided, however, that such party shall
not be (i) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one month in advance
except payments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its
obligations under this Lease; (ii) subject to any offset, defense or damages
arising out of a default of any obligations of any preceding Landlord; or (iii)
bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the written
consent of the Mortgagee or ground lessor; or (iv) liable for any security
deposits not actually received in cash by such purchaser or ground lessor. Upon
request by such successor in interest, Tenant shall execute and deliver
reasonable instruments confirming the attornment provided for herein.
23.02 MORTGAGEE PROTECTION
Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagee or ground lessor, by registered or certified
mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord by Tenant,
provided that prior to such notice Tenant has received notice (by way of service
on Tenant of a copy of an assignment of rents and leases, or otherwise) of the
address of such Mortgagee or ground lessor. Tenant further agrees that if
Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in
this Lease, then the Mortgagee or ground lessor shall have an additional thirty
(30) days after receipt of notice thereof within which to cure such default or
if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional notice
time as may be necessary, if, within such thirty (30) days, any Mortgagee or
ground lessor has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to
cure such default (including commencement of foreclosure proceedings or other
proceedings to acquire possession of the Real Property, if necessary to effect
such cure). Such period of time shall be extended by any period within which
such Mortgagee or ground lessor is prevented from commencing or pursuing such
foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the Real
Property by reason of Landlord's bankruptcy. Until the time allowed as aforesaid
for Mortgagee or ground lessor to cure such defaults has expired without cure,
Tenant shall have no right to, and shall not, terminate this Lease on account of
default. This Lease may not be modified or amended so as to reduce the Rent or
shorten the Term, or so as to adversely affect in any other respect to any
material extent the rights of the Landlord, nor shall this Lease be canceled or
surrendered, without the prior written consent, in each instance, of the ground
lessor or the Mortgagee.
ARTICLE TWENTY-FOUR
NOTICES
(a) All notices, demands or requests provided for or permitted to be
given pursuant to this Lease must be in writing and shall be personally
delivered, sent by Federal Express or other reputable overnight courier service,
or mailed by first class, registered or certified United States mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid.
(b) All notices, demands or requests to be sent pursuant to this Lease

their respective addresses listed in Sections 1.01(2) and (3).
(c) Notices, demands or requests sent by mail or overnight courier
service as described above shall be effective upon deposit in the mail or with
such courier service. However, the time period in which a response to any such
notice, demand or request must be given shall commence to run from (i) in the
case of delivery by mail, the date of receipt on the return receipt of the
notice, demand or request by the addressee thereof, or (ii) in the case of
delivery by Federal Express or other overnight courier service, the date of
27
acceptance of delivery by an employee, officer, director or partner of Landlord
or Tenant. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver
because of changed address of which no notice was given, as indicated by advice
from Federal Express or other overnight courier service or by mail return
receipt, shall be deemed to be receipt of notice, demand or request sent.
Notices may also be served by personal service upon any officer, director or
partner of Landlord or Tenant, and shall be effective upon such service.
(d) By giving to the other party at least thirty (30) days written
notice thereof, either party shall have the right from time to time during the
term of this Lease to change their respective addresses for notices, statements,
demands and requests, provided such new address shall be within the United
States of America.
ARTICLE TWENTY-FIVE
EXERCISE FACILITY
Tenant agrees to inform all employees of Tenant of the following: (i) the
exercise facility is available for the use of the employees of tenants of the
Project only and for no other person; (ii) use of the facility is at the risk of
Tenant or Tenant's employees, and all users must sign a release; (iii) the
facility is unsupervised; and (iv) users of the facility must report any needed
equipment maintenance or any unsafe conditions to the Landlord immediately.
Landlord may discontinue providing such facility at Landlord's sole option at
any time without incurring any liability. As a condition to the use of the
exercise facility, Tenant and each of Tenant's employees that uses the exercise
facility shall first sign a written release in form and substance acceptable to
Landlord. Landlord may change the rules and/or hours of the exercise facility at
any time, and Landlord reserves the right to deny access to the exercise
facility to anyone due to misuse of the facility or noncompliance with rules and
regulations of the facility. To the extent permitted by Law, Tenant hereby
indemnifies, and agrees to protect, defend and hold the Indemnitees harmless,
against any and all actions, claims, demands, liability, costs and expenses,
including attorneys' fees and expenses for the defense thereof, arising from use
of the exercise facility in the Project by Tenant, Tenant's employees or
invitees. In case of any action or proceeding brought against the Indemnitees by
reason of any such claim, upon notice from Landlord, Tenant covenants to defend
such action or proceeding by counsel chosen by Landlord, in Landlord's sole
discretion. Landlord reserves the right to settle, compromise or dispose of any
and all actions, claims and demands related to the foregoing indemnity.
ARTICLE TWENTY-SIX
MISCELLANEOUS
26.01 LATE CHARGES
(a) All payments required hereunder (other than the Monthly Base Rent,
Rent Adjustments, and Rent Adjustment Deposits, which shall be due as
hereinbefore provided) to Landlord shall be paid within ten (10) days after
Landlord's demand therefor. All such amounts (including Monthly Base Rent, Rent
Adjustments, and Rent Adjustment Deposits) not paid when due shall bear interest
from the date due until the date paid at the Default Rate in effect on the date
such payment was due.
(b) In the event Tenant is more than five (5) days late in paying any
installment of Rent due under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late
charge equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent installment of Rent. The
parties agree that (i) such delinquency will cause Landlord to incur costs and
expenses not contemplated herein, the exact amount of which will be difficult to
calculate, including the cost and expense that will be incurred by Landlord in
processing each delinquent payment of rent by Tenant, and (ii) the amount of
such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and
that such late charge shall be paid to Landlord for each delinquent payment in
addition to all Rent otherwise due hereunder. The parties further agree that
the payment of late charges and the payment of interest provided for in
subparagraph (a) above are distinct and separate from one another in that the
payment of interest is to compensate Landlord for its inability to use the money
improperly withheld by Tenant, while the payment of late charges is to
compensate Landlord for its additional administrative expenses in handling and
processing delinquent payments.
(c) Payment of interest at the Default Rate and/or of late charges shall
not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease, nor shall the
foregoing provisions of this Article or any such payments prevent Landlord from
exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant's failure to
pay Rent when due, including the right to terminate this Lease.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of the foregoing to the contrary,
interest at the Default Rate and the late charge shall not be payable with
respect to the first three (3) occasions of late payment, provided that the late
payment in question is received by Landlord within ten (10) days after the due
date.
26.02 NO JURY TRIAL; VENUE; JURISDICTION
Each party hereto (which includes any assignee, successor, heir or personal
representative of a party) shall not seek a jury trial, hereby waives trial by
jury, and hereby further waives any objection to venue in the County in which
the Project is located, and agrees and consents to personal jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of California, in any action or proceeding or counterclaim
brought by any party hereto against the other on any matter whatsoever arising
out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord
28
and Tenant, Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, or any claim of injury or
damage, or the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or
otherwise, whether any of the foregoing is based on this Lease or on tort law.
No party will seek to consolidate any such action in which a jury has been
waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot or has not been
waived. It is the intention of the parties that these provisions shall be
subject to no exceptions. By execution of this Lease the parties agree that this
provision may be filed by any party hereto with the clerk or judge before whom
any action is instituted, which filing shall constitute the written consent to a
waiver of jury trial pursuant to and in accordance with Section 631 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure. No party has in any way agreed with or
represented to any other party that the provisions of this Section will not be
fully enforced in all instances. The provisions of this Section shall survive
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
26.03 DEFAULT UNDER OTHER LEASE
It shall be a Default under this Lease if Tenant or any Affiliate holding any
other lease with Landlord for premises in the Project defaults under such lease
and as a result thereof such lease is terminated or terminable.
26.04 OPTION
This Lease shall not become effective as a lease or otherwise until executed and
delivered by both Landlord and Tenant. The submission of the Lease to Tenant
does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Premises, but when
executed by Tenant and delivered to Landlord, the Lease shall constitute an
irrevocable offer by Tenant in effect for fifteen (15) days to lease the
Premises on the terms and conditions herein contained.
26.05 TENANT AUTHORITY
Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that it has full authority and power
to enter into and perform its obligations under this Lease, that the person
executing this Lease is fully empowered to do so, and that no consent or
authorization is necessary from any third party. Landlord may request that
Tenant provide Landlord evidence of Tenant's authority.
26.06 ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Lease, the Exhibits and Riders attached hereto contain the entire agreement
between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Premises and there are no other
agreements, either oral or written, and no other representations or statements,
either oral or written, on which Tenant has relied. This Lease shall not be
modified except by a writing executed by Landlord and Tenant.
26.07 MODIFICATION OF LEASE FOR BENEFIT OF MORTGAGEE
If Mortgagee of Landlord requires a modification of this Lease which shall not
result in any increased cost or expense to Tenant or in any other substantial
and adverse change in the rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder, then
Tenant agrees that the Lease may be so modified.
26.08 EXCULPATION
Tenant agrees, on its behalf and on behalf of its successors and assigns, that
any liability or obligation of Landlord in connection with this Lease shall only
be enforced against Landlord's equity interest in the Property up to a maximum
of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and in no event against any other assets
of the Landlord, or Landlord's officers or directors or partners, and that any
liability of Landlord with respect to this Lease shall be so limited and Tenant
shall not be entitled to any judgment in excess of such amount.
26.09 ACCORD AND SATISFACTION
No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than any
installment or payment of Rent due shall be deemed to be other than on account
of the amount due, and no endorsement or statement on any check or any letter
accompanying any check or payment of Rent shall be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to
Landlord's right to recover the balance of such installment or payment of Rent
or pursue any other remedies available to Landlord. No receipt of money by
Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease or Tenant's right of
possession of the Premises shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term.
Receipt or acceptance of payment from anyone other than Tenant, including an
assignee of Tenant, is not a waiver of any breach of Article Ten, and Landlord
may accept such payment on account of the amount due without prejudice to
Landlord's right to pursue any remedies available to Landlord.
26.10 LANDLORD'S OBLIGATIONS ON SALE OF BUILDING
In the event of any sale or other transfer of the Building, Landlord shall be
entirely freed and relieved of all agreements and obligations of Landlord
hereunder accruing or to be performed after the date of such sale or transfer,
and any remaining liability of Landlord with respect to this Lease shall be
limited to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and Tenant shall not be entitled
to any judgment in excess of such amount.

inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective heirs, legal
representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any
extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the
application of such term, covenant or condition to persons or circumstances
other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be
affected thereby and each item, covenant or condition of this Lease shall be
valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Law. Wherever the term
"including" or "includes" is used in this Lease, it shall have the same meaning
as if followed by the phrase "but not limited to". The language in all parts of
this Lease shall be construed according to its normal and usual meaning and not
strictly for or against either Landlord or Tenant.
26.14 ABANDONMENT
In the event Tenant vacates or abandons the Premises but is otherwise in
compliance with all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, Landlord

or pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.3 terminating Tenant's right
to possession, none of the foregoing acts of Landlord or any other act of
Landlord shall constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession or an
acceptance of Tenant's surrender of the Premises, and the Lease shall continue
in effect.
26.15 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT'S DUTIES
If Tenant fails timely to perform any of its duties under this Lease, Landlord
shall have the right (but not the obligation), to perform such duty on behalf

deemed to be additional Rent under this Lease and shall be due and payable upon
demand by Landlord.

power of sale contained in the Deed of Trust or receives a transfer of the
Property by a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure of the Property (collectively, a
"Foreclosure Sale") but only if Tenant is not then in default under the Lease
and Tenant attorns to Beneficiary or a third party purchaser at the Foreclosure
Sale (a "Foreclosure Purchaser").
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. Subordination. The Lease and the leasehold estate created by the
-------------

($5,000,000), and Tenant shall look solely to such equity interest for the
payment and performance of any obligations imposed upon Beneficiary under this
Agreement or under the Lease. This Agreement shall run with the land and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties and, their respective successors and
permitted assigns including a Foreclosure Purchaser. If a Foreclosure Purchaser
acquires the Property or if Beneficiary assigns or transfers its interest in the
Note and Deed of Trust or the Property, all obligations and liabilities of
Beneficiary under this Agreement shall terminate and be the responsibility of
the Foreclosure Purchaser or other party to whom Beneficiary's interest is
assigned or transferred. The interest of Tenant under this Agreement may not be
assigned or transferred except in connection with an assignment of its interest
in the Lease which has been consented to by Beneficiary.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Subordination,
Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement as of the Execution Date.

RIDER 2
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
This Rider 2 ("Rider") is attached to and a part of a certain Lease dated
as of _____, 2000, executed concurrently herewith by Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, a New York corporation, as Landlord, and Clarent Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (for purposes of this Rider, "Clarent"), as Tenant, for the
Premises as described therein (the "Lease").
SECTION 1. DEFINED TERMS; FORCE AND EFFECT
Capitalized terms used in this Rider shall have the same meanings set forth in
the Lease except as otherwise specified herein and except for terms capitalized
in the ordinary course of punctuation. This Rider forms a part of the Lease.
Should any inconsistency arise between this Rider and any other provision of the
Lease as to the specific matters which are the subject of this Rider, the terms
and conditions of this Rider shall control.
SECTION 2. CONDITION PRECEDENT TO LEASE.
This Lease and the obligations of each party hereunder are expressly subject to
the condition precedent of Landlord successfully entering into and obtaining a
legally binding written agreement with 3DO Company, a California corporation,
and 3DO Company, a Delaware corporation, which jointly and severally are the
existing tenants of the Premises (collectively, "3DO") modifying 3DO's pre-
existing lease of the Premises to provide for 3DO's surrender of possession of
the Premises and termination of 3DO's rights to the Premises satisfactory in
all respects in form and substance to Landlord, in Landlord's sole discretion
(the "3DO Termination Agreement"). If such condition precedent is not satisfied
and is not waived in writing by Landlord in its sole discretion, this Lease
shall be null and void, and of no force or effect, and Landlord shall refund the
Security Deposit and advance payment of the intial installment of Monthly Base
Rent and Rent Adjustment Deposit. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the
satisfaction of this condition precedent either by (a) written notice to Tenant
or (b) by tendering to Tenant possession of the Premises as described in section
3.1 below.
SECTION 3. PREMISES LEASED "AS-IS"; DELIVERY; COMMENCEMENT DATE; AND
CONSTRUCTION
3.1. AS-IS; Delivery; Commencement Date. Notwithstanding any provision of
----------------------------------
the Lease to the contrary:
(a) AS-IS. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant in its AS
-----
IS condition, without any express or implied representations or warranties of
any kind by Landlord, its brokers, manager or agents, or the employees of any of
them regarding the Premises; and Landlord shall not have any obligation to
construct or install any tenant improvements or alterations or to pay for any
such construction or installation.
(b) Delivery & Commencement Date. Tenant acknowledges that (i) the
----------------------------
Premises is under a pre-existing lease to 3DO; (ii) that Landlord will make good
faith efforts, at no out-of-pocket cost to Landlord, to obtain the 3DO
Termination Agreement; (iii) Landlord is seeking a surrender by 3DO on a date
which 3DO shall select, which is targeted to be during the period beginning
January 14, 2001 and ending February 28, 2001 (the actual date 3DO surrenders is
referred to herein as the "Surrender Date" and the target period for such
Surrender Date is referred to as the "Surrender Window"); and (iv) that the date
of 3DO's actual surrender will depend upon completion of construction of a new
building to which 3DO will move. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord
shall not be obligated and shall have no liability hereunder if it does not
obtain the 3DO Termination Agreement or if Landlord obtains the 3DO Termination
Agreement but 3DO does not surrender within the Surrender Window. Landlord
shall tender to Tenant possession of the Premises within two (2) business days

tenant, tenants or occupants, or (ii) for any other reason, then Landlord shall
not be subject to any liability for the failure to give possession on said date.
Under such circumstances the Commencement Date shall be determined as provided
in Subsection (b) above. No such failure to give possession shall affect the
validity of this Lease or the obligations of the Tenant hereunder. Within
thirty (30) days following the occurrence of the Commencement Date, Landlord and
Tenant shall enter into an agreement (which is attached to this Lease as Rider
