Re: 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Lease
3/rd/ Floor Suites
Dear Marcus,
As per our conversation and in follow up with my conversation with the
Controller for Jutvision today, there was an error in the rental stated in
the sublease.
The annual escalations agreed to was 3% per year. The second year's rent
then equals $20,169.38/month versus the stated rent in the sublease of
----------
$21,169.38. The balance of the annual rents as stated in Paragraph 3, Page
----------
2 of the Sublease are correct.
Please forward to your Sublessor for their records. Jutvision will be
provided a copy of this memo for their files.
All parties are in agreement as to the terms and rental will be paid
accordingly.
Should there be any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,

Re: Proposal To Sublease
000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, #000/000/000, Xxxx Xxxx, XX
Dear Marcus.
On behalf of my client, Jutvision, a Delaware Corp., I have been authorized
to present the following proposal to sublease the subject property.
Jutvision is the current subtenant on the second floor and as expected
their company expansion and growth in California requires them to seek more
space as soon as possible. Jutvision would like to continue as a subtenant of
Pete's, but without the 3/rd/ floor space they foresee they will have to pursue
other sites and therefore have to potentially vacate the building and sublet
their current Premises. This is not their desire.
We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. Jutvision is
prepared to commence the sublease as soon as possible with the allowance defined
herein for their need to replace the current carpet for Suites 300 and 350. The
carpets in these suites are badly damaged.
1. LOCATION: 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx., Xxxxxx 000, 350 and 310, Palo Alto, CA,
consisting of a total of approximately 5021 rentable square feet
2. TERM/COMMENCEMENT: The term shall commence upon Sublease execution, not
later than December 15, 1998. The rent shall commence January 1,1999 or two
weeks following the sublease commencement date, whichever is later. The
Sublessee shall have access upon sublease execution to install new carpet
in Suites 300 and 350, as further defined below.
3. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS: SubLessee accepts the Premises in their "as is"
condition with SubLessor providing clean carpet in Suite 310 and generally
clean conditions, including clean restroom and walls, as is feasible for
all the suites. Sublessor acknowledges and agrees it is Sublessee's intent
to provide new carpet in Suites 300 and 350, at Sublessee's cost, according
to the approval process defined in the Master Lease.
Mr. Xxxxxx Xxxx
November 30, 1998
Page 2
4. RENT:
Rental for the suites is full service defined as follows:
Year 1: $3.90/sq.ft. full service
Annual 3% increase thereafter.
There shall be no additional rental due.
5. USE OF PREMISES: SubLessee shall use the premises for software, general
office and legally related uses.
6. FIRST MONTH'S RENT: SubLessee shall provide first month's rent to be paid
to SubLessor upon execution of the SubLease Agreement.
7. SECURITY DEPOSIT: SubLessee shall provide a security deposit in the amount
of $20,000.00 to be paid to SubLessor upon execution of the SubLease
Agreement.
8. SUBLEASING/ASSIGNMENT: SubLessee shall have the right to sublease all or
any portion of its Premises during the term of the lease to a qualified
SubLessee, subject to SubLessor's approval which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Any profits generated by said subleasing or assignment
shall be allotted 100% to SubLessor after SubLessee recovers real estate
broker cost associated with subleasing, if applicable.
9. OTHER: Should Sublessor have further question at this time, in order to
expedite the process, Sublessor may call Sublessee, Xxxxx XxXxxxx,
President, at 000-000-0000, ext. 15 directly. Time is of the essence. We
appreciate your attention to this matter.
This letter is conditional upon the execution by both parties of a formal
SubLease Agreement. Said Agreement shall include, among other things, the terms
and conditions specified herein. It is understood and agreed, however, that this
is a Letter of Intent only and that neither party shall have any rights or
obligations until the execution of a formal Sublease Agreement.
Note: an Addendum to the existing Sublease document for the second floor is an
acceptable document format for the Premises defined herein.
Mr. Xxxxxx Xxxx
November 30, 1998

The terms of this document are valid until Wednesday, December 2,1998, after
which time it shall become null and void.
If the outlined Proposal is acceptable, please indicate by executing and dating
in the space provided below and returning a copy of this letter to us.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
