permitted in this Lease; (vii) Expenses in connection with services or other

tenant in the Project or any third party; (xvi) Advertising and promotional

iv. "Rent" shall mean Base Rent, Adjustment Rent, and any other sums or
charges due from Tenant hereunder. This Lease is intended to be a triple net
lease, with all costs, expenses and charges (including the Expenses) allocated
to the Premises to be paid by Tenant except as otherwise specifically provided
in this Lease.
v. "Taxes" shall mean all taxes, assessments and fees levied upon the
Building, the property of Landlord located therein or the rents collected
therefrom, by any governmental entity based upon the ownership, leasing, renting
or operation of the Building, including all costs and expenses of protesting any
such taxes, assessments or fees. Taxes shall not include any net income,
capital stock, succession, transfer, franchise, gift, estate or inheritance
taxes; provided, however, if at any time during the Term, a tax or excise on
income is levied or assessed by any governmental entity, in lieu of or as a
substitute for, in whole or in part, real estate taxes or other ad valorem
----------
taxes, such tax shall constitute and be included in Taxes. For the purpose of
determining Taxes for any given year, the amount to be included for such year

installments (and any interest) due and payable during such year, and (b) from
all other Taxes shall be the amount due and payable in such year.
vi. "Tenant's Share" shall mean the percentage set forth in Item 5 of the
------
Schedule.
b. Components of Rent. Tenant agrees to pay the following amounts to
-------------------
Landlord at the office of the Building or at such other place as Landlord
designates:
i. Base rent ("Base Rent") to be paid in monthly installments in the
amounts set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule, in advance on or before the first
------
day of each month of the Term, without demand, except that Tenant shall pay the
first month's Base Rent upon execution of this Lease.
ii. Adjustment rent ("Adjustment Rent") in an amount equal to Tenant's
Share of Expenses and Taxes for any calendar year (or in the event Tenant shall
occupy the Premises for a portion of a year, any portion of the year during
which Tenant shall occupy the Premises). Prior to each calendar year, or as
soon as reasonably possible, Landlord shall estimate and notify Tenant of the
amount of Adjustment Rent due for such year, and Tenant shall pay Landlord one-
twelfth of such estimate on the first day of each month during such year. Such
estimate may be revised by Landlord whenever it obtains information relevant to
making such estimate more accurate. After the end of each calendar year,
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement setting forth the actual Expenses
and Taxes for such calendar year and a statement of the amount of Adjustment
Rent that Tenant has paid and is payable for such year. Within thirty (30) days
after receipt of such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of
Adjustment Rent due for such calendar year, as shown in said statement, minus
any payments of estimated Adjustment Rent made by Tenant for such year. If
Tenant's estimated payments of Adjustment Rent exceed the amount due Landlord
for such calendar year, Landlord shall apply such excess as a credit against
Tenant's other obligations under this Lease, unless the Term has expired and
Tenant is not in default hereunder, in which case such amount shall be refunded
to Tenant promptly after determination of said overpayment. In no case shall any
overpayment by Tenant earn interest.
c. Increase of Rent. The Base Rent shall be adjusted upward every year
------------------
of the term hereof, based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI").
The first increase in Base Rent pursuant to this paragraph shall be effective
beginning with the rent payable on the first (1st) day of the thirteenth (13th)
5
month of the Term, and subsequent increases shall be effective every twelve (12)
months thereafter. Rent shall be determined based on the increase in the CPI
from the Commencement Date, or the last Rent Determination Date (as defined
herein), as the case may be, to a date that is thirty (30) days prior to the
effective date of any increase hereunder (the "Rent Determination Date"). "CPI"
shall mean the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
(Revised Series) (CPI-W), All Items, for the Xxx Xxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxx-Xxx Xxxx
xxxx (0000-0000 equals 100) of the United States Department of Labor Bureau of
Labor Statistics, over the relevant period. If such index is no longer
published at any time, the Consumer Price Index shall mean a comparable index
reasonably selected by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall the Base Rent for any twelve month period covered hereby be less than the
Base Rent in effect on any Rent Determination Date, and in no event shall any
increase under this paragraph be less than five percent (5%), nor more than
eight percent (8%) of the rent in effect as of the Rent Determination Date.
Landlord shall notify Tenant as soon as possible following the Rent
Determination Date of the Base Rent applicable for the next twelve month period.
d. Payment of Rent. The following provisions shall govern the payment of
----------------
Rent: i. if this Lease commences or ends on a day other than the first day or
last day of a calendar month, respectively, the Rent for such month shall be
prorated accordingly; ii. all Rent shall be paid to Landlord without offset or
deduction, and the covenant to pay Rent shall be independent of every other
covenant in this Lease; iii. any sum due from Tenant to Landlord which is not
paid within thirty (30) days of the date due shall bear interest from the date
due until the date paid at the annual rate of ten percent (10%) from the date
the payment was due (or the first business day thereafter), which rate shall not
exceed the maximum rate permitted by law (the "Default Rate"); and, in addition,
in recognition of the fact that Landlord will incur certain administration costs
and other damages, the amount of which are not readily quantifiable, but of
which the Late Charge (as defined herein) shall be an approximation, Tenant
shall, in addition to interest at the Default Rate, pay Landlord a late charge
for any Rent payment which is paid more than five (5) days after its due date
equal to five percent (5%) of such payment (the "Late Charge"); iv. Tenant
shall have the right to inspect Landlord's accounting records relative to
Expenses and Taxes during normal business hours at any time within ninety (90)
days following the furnishing to Tenant of the annual statement of Adjustment
Rent; and, unless Tenant shall take written exception to any item in any such
statement within such ninety (90) day period, such statement shall be considered
as final and accepted by Tenant; v. in the event of the termination of this
Lease prior to the determination of any Adjustment Rent , Tenant's agreement to
pay any such sums and Landlord's obligation to refund any such sums (provided
Tenant is not in default hereunder) shall survive the termination of this Lease;
vi. no adjustment to the Rent by virtue of the operation of the rent adjustment
provisions in this Lease shall result in the payment by Tenant in any year of
less than the Base Rent shown on the Schedule; vii. Landlord may at any time
change the fiscal year of the Building; viii. each amount owed to Landlord
under this Lease for which the date of payment is not expressly fixed shall be
due on the same date as the Rent listed on the statement showing such amount is
due; and ix. if Landlord fails to give Tenant an estimate of Adjustment Rent
prior to the beginning of any calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay
Adjustment Rent at the rate for the previous calendar year until Landlord
delivers such estimate, at which time Tenant shall pay retroactively the
increased amount for all previous months of such calendar year.
e. Allocation of Rent Abatement for Tax Purposes. Landlord and Tenant
----------------------------------------------
agree that no portion of the Base Rent paid by Tenant during the portion of the
term of this Lease occurring after the expiration of any period during which
such rent was abated shall be allocated, for income tax purposes, nor is such
rent intended by the parties to be allocable, for income tax purposes, to any
abatement period.

amount of insurance premiums payable by Landlord for insurance maintained for or

subject to Landlord's representations and warranties as set forth in this Lease,
Tenant, at all times during the Term and at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
shall keep the Premises and every part thereof in good condition and repair,
(excepting ordinary wear and tear, the effect of any latent defects and any
damage Landlord is required to occur or maintain pursuant to any other provision
of this Lease, e.g., Paragraphs 8.b, 11 and 12) excepted, including, without
limitation, the HVAC system serving the Premises, if Landlord shall not elect to
maintain the HVAC system. Tenant shall, when and if needed, make all repairs to
the Premises, including, but not limited to; painting of the interior ceiling
and floors, painting of the interior, windows, doors, plate glass and all
plumbing electrical and sewage located in the Premises. Tenant hereby waives
10
all right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or in lieu thereof to
vacate the Premises as provided in California Civil Code Section 1942 or any
other law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
b. Landlord's Obligations. Landlord, at Landlord's expense, shall repair
----------------------
and maintain the roof structure, roof membrane, foundations and structural
exterior walls of the Building except to the extent that the maintenance and
repair are caused in whole or in part by the act, neglect, fault or omission of
any duty of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or invitees, and are not
covered by Landlord's insurance, in which case Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
cost of the maintenance and repairs to the extent caused by Tenant, subject,
however, to the provisions of Paragraph 10.c. Landlord shall, if it elects to
do so, contract for the maintenance of the HVAC and charge the allocable costs
thereof to Tenant. There shall be no abatement of Rent and no liability of
Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business
arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to the
fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein, provided the foregoing shall not
be deemed to relieve Landlord of liability for failure to make any repairs,
alterations or improvements required under this Lease. Landlord shall maintain
the Common Areas subject to reimbursement of its expenses pursuant to Section 2.
---------
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be required to upgrade any
structural component of the Premises if the Premises are in compliance with
seismic requirements as of the date Tenant commences its construction and such
upgrade is required as a result of a specific improvement Tenant proposes to
make pursuant to the Tenant Improvement Construction Agreement.
9. ALTERATIONS
a. Requirements. Tenant shall not make any replacement, alteration,
-------------
improvement or addition to or removal from the Premises (collectively an
"Alteration") that shall either (a) cost in excess of $10,000 or (b) affect a
Building system, or the Building structure or external appearance without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld unless such Alteration affects the structure or systems of the Building
or affects the exterior appearance of the Building. Alterations permitted
hereunder without the consent of Landlord will be referred to as "Permitted
Alterations." In the event Tenant proposes to make any Alteration that is not a
Permitted Alteration, Tenant shall, prior to commencing such Alteration, submit
to Landlord for prior written approval: i. detailed plans and specifications;
ii. the names, addresses and copies of contracts for all contractors (other than
subcontractors who shall supply materials or services costing less than $5000 in
connection with said work); iii. all necessary permits evidencing compliance
with all applicable governmental rules, regulations and requirements; iv.
certificates of insurance in form and amounts required by Landlord, naming
Landlord, its managing agent, and any other parties designated by Landlord as
additional insureds; and v. all other documents and information as Landlord may
reasonably request in connection with such Alteration. Tenant agrees to pay
Landlord's reasonable charges for review of all such items and supervision of
the Alteration. Neither approval of the plans and specifications nor
supervision of the Alteration by Landlord shall constitute a representation or
warranty by Landlord as to the accuracy, adequacy, sufficiency or propriety of
such plans and specifications or the quality of workmanship or the compliance of
such Alteration with applicable law. Tenant shall pay the entire cost of the
Alteration and, if requested by Landlord, shall deposit with Landlord, prior to
the commencement of the Alteration, security for the payment and completion of
the Alteration in form and amount reasonably required by Landlord. Each
Alteration shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance
with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and shall meet or exceed
the standards for construction and quality of materials reasonably established
by Landlord for the Building. In addition, each Alteration shall be performed in
compliance with all applicable governmental laws and regulations and insurance
company requirements. Each Alteration that is not a Permitted Alteration shall
be performed under Landlord's supervision, and in harmony with Landlord's
employees, contractors and other tenants. Each Alteration, whether temporary or
permanent in character, made by Landlord or Tenant in or upon the Premises
(excepting only Tenant's furniture, equipment and trade fixtures) shall become
Landlord's property and shall remain upon the Premises at the expiration or
termination of this Lease without compensation to Tenant; provided, however,
that Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to remove such Alteration
at Tenant's sole cost and expense in accordance with the provisions of Section
14 of this Lease, which required removal shall be specified by Landlord when
Landlord consents to Tenant's requested Alterations.
b. Liens. Upon completion of any alteration, Tenant shall promptly
------
furnish Landlord with sworn owner's and contractors' statements and full and
final waivers of lien covering all labor and materials included in such
alteration. Tenant shall not permit any mechanic's lien to be filed against the
Building, or any part thereof, arising out of any alteration performed, or
alleged to have been performed, by or on behalf of Tenant. If any such lien is
filed, Tenant shall within ten (10) days thereafter have such lien
11
released of record or diligently contest and deliver to Landlord a bond in form,
amount, and issued by a surety satisfactory to Landlord, indemnifying Landlord
against all costs and liabilities resulting from such lien and the foreclosure
or attempted foreclosure thereof. If Tenant fails to have such lien so released
or to contest and deliver such bond to Landlord, Landlord, without investigating
the validity of such lien, may pay or discharge the same; and Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord, including
Landlord's expenses and attorneys' fees.
c. Americans With Disabilities Act. Replacements, alterations,
--------------------------------
improvements or additions to or removals from the Premises required to achieve
compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA") shall be completed
at Tenant's expense in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraphs 9
A. and B. of this Lease. Landlord shall be responsible for the cost of any
improvements required by the ADA to be made to the Building or Common Areas, to
the extent any such requirement does not relate to Tenant's particular use of
the Premises, but would be required for any tenant of the Building.
10. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION
In consideration of the leasing of the Premises at the Rent stated herein,
Landlord and Tenant agree to provide insurance and allocate the risks of loss as
follows:
a. Tenant's Insurance. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense but for the
-------------------
mutual benefit of itself and Landlord, agrees to purchase and keep in force and
effect during the Term hereof, insurance which is available at commercially
reasonable rates and otherwise commonly carried by tenants in the area, under
policies issued by insurers licensed to do business in the state in which the
Building is located with a Best's rating of A-, class VIII or higher on all
alterations, additions, and improvements owned by Tenant, and on all personal
property located in the Premises, protecting Landlord and Tenant from damage or
other loss caused by perils covered under an All Risk Property Policy, and
Boiler and Machinery Policy, in amounts not less than the full insurable
replacement value of such property. Such insurance shall provide that it is
specific and not contributory and shall name the Landlord and its management
agent as additional insureds and shall contain an agreed amount endorsement.
Such insurance shall also contain a clause pursuant to which the insurance
carriers waive all rights of subrogation against the Landlord with respect to
losses payable under such policies.
Tenant also agrees to maintain commercial general liability insurance covering
Tenant as the insured party, and naming Landlord and its managing agent as an
additional insured, against claims for bodily injury and death and property
damage occurring in or about the Premises, with limits of not less then Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence and Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000.00) general aggregate.
Tenant shall, prior to commencement of the Term, furnish to Landlord
certificates evidencing such coverage, which certificates shall state that such
insurance coverage may not be changed or canceled without at least thirty (30)
days prior written notice to Landlord and Tenant. In the event Tenant shall
fail to procure such insurance, Landlord may at its option, after giving Tenant
no less than fourteen (14) days prior written notice of its election to do so,
procure the same for the account of Tenant and the cost thereof shall be paid to
Landlord as additional Rent upon receipt by Tenant of bills therefor. When used
in this Section 10. A the term "Landlord" shall include Landlord's partners,
beneficiaries, officers, agents, servants and employees and the term "Tenant"
shall include Tenant's partners, beneficiaries, officers, agents, servants and
employees.
b. Landlord's Insurance. Landlord agrees to purchase and keep in force
---------------------
and effect commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than
Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) per occurrence and Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000.00) general aggregate, and All Risk property insurance with an
agreed amount endorsement, on the Building and Common Areas, insuring 100% of
replacement value (subject to customary deductibles in the market area of the
property on policies maintained by commercial landlords of properties similar to
the Premises and Project), subject to the reimbursement of the full amount
thereof as Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the time that
Prudential shall own the Premises and Project, Prudential's insurance program
maintained for its equity or separate account properties shall be deemed to
satisfy the foregoing. Subject to the foregoing sentence, such insurance shall
provide that it is specific and not contributory and shall contain a clause
pursuant to which the
12
insurance carriers waive all rights of subrogation against the Tenant with
respect to losses payable under such policies.
c. Risk of Loss. By this Section 10, Landlord and Tenant intend that the
-------------
risk of loss or damage as described above be borne by responsible insurance
carriers to the extent above provided, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to
look solely to, and to seek recovery only from, their respective insurance
carriers in the event of a loss of a type described above to the extent that
such coverage is agreed to be provided hereunder. For this purpose, any
applicable deductible amount shall be treated as though it were recoverable
under such policies. Landlord and Tenant agree that applicable portions of all
monies collected from such insurance shall be used toward the full compliance
with the obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Lease in connection with
damage resulting from fire or other casualty. This Paragraph 10.c shall
--------------
supersede any provision of this Lease that shall allocate liability for an
insured event to Landlord or Tenant.
d. Indemnification of Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify and defend
---------------------------
Landlord, its employees and agents and save them harmless from and against any
and all loss and against all claims, actions, damages, liability and expenses,
in connection with loss of life, bodily and personal injury, or property damage
arising from any occurrence in, upon or at the Premises or any part thereof, or
occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant, its agents,
contractors, employees or invitees or by anyone permitted to be on the Premises
by Tenant, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord, its employees or agents. In case Landlord, its employees or agents
shall be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then
Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold them harmless and shall pay all costs,
expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred or paid by them in connection
with such litigation. The obligations assumed herein shall survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
11. FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY
a. Destruction of the Building. If fifty percent (50%) of the area of
----------------------------
the Building should be substantially destroyed by fire or other casualty, either
party hereto may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving written notice
thereof to the other party within thirty (30) days of such casualty. In such
event, Rent shall be apportioned to and shall cease as of the date of such
casualty. In the event neither party exercises this option, then the Premises
shall be reconstructed and restored as set forth below.
b. Destruction of the Premises. If the Premises should be rendered
---------------------------
untenantable for the purpose for which they were leased, by fire or other
casualty, but the Building is not substantially destroyed as provided above,
then the parties hereto shall have the following options:
i. If, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the Premises cannot be
reconstructed or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days of such casualty
to substantially the same condition as they were prior to such casualty,
Landlord shall so notify Tenant within thirty (30) days of the casualty and
either Landlord or Tenant may elect, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, to
terminate this Lease. If Tenant makes no election within such fifteen (15) day
period, Landlord shall then have the right, to be exercised within fifteen (15)
days following the expiration of Tenant's election period, by giving written
notice to Tenant, to reconstruct and restore the Premises to substantially the
same condition as they were prior to the casualty. In such event this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect to the balance of the term, upon the
same terms, conditions and covenants as are contained herein; provided, however,
that the Rent shall be abated in the proportion which the approximate area of
the damaged portion bears to the total area in the Premises from the date of the
casualty until substantial completion (as defined in Exhibit B) of the
---------
reconstruction of the Premises. If Landlord fails to exercise such right, this
Lease shall be terminated as of the date of the casualty, to which date Rent
shall be apportioned and shall thereafter cease.
Notwithstanding the above, if the casualty occurs during the last twelve (12)
months of the Term of this Lease, either party hereto shall have the right to
terminate this Lease as of the date of the casualty, which right shall be
exercised by written notice to be given by either party to the other party
within thirty (30) days therefrom. If this right is exercised, Rent shall be
apportioned to and shall cease as of the date of the casualty. If a casualty
occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the term of the Lease, Tenant may
not exercise any extension options without first obtaining Landlord's written
consent.
ii. If, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the Premises are able to be
restored within one hundred eighty (180) days to substantially the same
condition as they were prior to such casualty, Landlord shall so notify
13
Tenant within fifteen (15) days of the casualty, and Landlord shall then proceed
to reconstruct and restore the damaged portion of the Premises, at Landlord's
expense, to substantially the same condition as it was prior to the casualty;
Rent shall be abated in the proportion which the approximate area of the damaged
portion bears to the total area in the Premises from the date of the casualty
until substantial completion (as defined in Exhibit B) of the reconstruction
---------
repairs, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect for the balance
of the Term.
iii. In the event Landlord undertakes reconstruction or restoration of the
Premises pursuant to subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, Landlord shall use
reasonable diligence in completing such reconstruction repairs, but in the event
Landlord fails to substantially complete the same within two hundred forty (240)
days from the date of the casualty, except as a result of any of the occurrences
set forth in subparagraph 25 (j) below, Tenant may, at its option, terminate
this Lease upon giving Landlord written notice to that effect, whereupon both
parties shall be released from all further obligations and liability hereunder.
12. CONDEMNATION
If the Premises or the Building is rendered untenantable by reason of a
condemnation (or by a deed given in lieu thereof), then either party may
terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other party
within thirty (30) days after such condemnation, in which event this Lease shall
terminate effective as of the date that possession of such property is required
to be delivered to the condemning authority. If this Lease so terminates, Rent
shall be paid through and apportioned as of the date of such condemnation. If
such condemnation does not render the Premises or the Building untenantable, or
if such condemnation affects the Common Areas but not the Premises, and after
such condemnation Landlord shall have sufficient Common Areas in the Project to
enable it to meet all of its obligations to tenants of the Project, including
Tenant, this Lease shall continue in effect and Landlord shall promptly restore
the portion not condemned to the extent reasonably possible to the condition
existing prior to the condemnation and Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement
of Rent based on the extent of Tenant's impairment of the use of its Premises.
In such event, however, Landlord shall not be required to expend an amount in
excess of the proceeds received by Landlord from the condemning authority.
Landlord reserves all rights to compensation for any condemnation, except for
such amount the condemning authority attributes to the value of Tenant's
leasehold interest in the Premises and relocation expenses, but only to the
extent that any such award to Tenant does not reduce the amount payable to
Landlord on account of such condemnation. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord
any right Tenant may have to such compensation, and Tenant shall make no claim
against Landlord or the condemning authority for compensation for termination of
Tenant's leasehold interest under this Lease or interference with Tenant's
business.
13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
a. Landlord's Consent. Tenant shall not, without the prior written
-------------------
consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld: i. assign,
convey, mortgage or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest hereunder, or
sublease the Premises, or any part thereof, whether voluntarily or by operation
of law; or ii. permit the use of the Premises by any person other than Tenant
and its employees. Any such transfer, sublease or use described in the
preceding sentence (a "Transfer") occurring without the prior written consent of
Landlord shall be void and of no effect. Landlord's consent to any Transfer
shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to withhold its consent to any
future Transfer. Landlord's consent to any Transfer or acceptance of rent from
any party other than Tenant shall not release Tenant from any covenant or
obligation under this Lease. Landlord may require as a condition to its consent
to any assignment of this Lease that the assignee execute an instrument in which
such assignee assumes the obligations of Tenant hereunder. For the purposes of
this paragraph, however, the transfer (whether direct or indirect) of all or a
majority of the capital stock in a corporate Tenant (other than the shares of
the capital stock of a corporate Tenant whose stock is publicly traded) or the
merger, consolidation or reorganization of such Tenant and the transfer of all
or any general partnership interest in any partnership Tenant shall not be
considered a Transfer, so long as the transferee of the Lease or any successor
or surviving entity shall have a net worth not less than the net worth of Tenant
as of the date of this Lease and shall otherwise agree in writing to be bound by
this Lease.
b. Standards for Consent. If Tenant desires the consent of Landlord to a
----------------------
Transfer, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, at least twenty (20) days prior to
the proposed effective date of the Transfer, a written notice which includes
such information as Landlord may reasonably require about the proposed Transfer
14
and the transferee, together with a non-refundable processing fee in the amount
of five hundred dollars ($500.00). Tenant shall also pay all reasonable
attorneys' or other fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with
any proposed Transfer, whether or not Landlord consents to such Transfer.
Landlord's consent or lack thereof shall be provided within twenty (20) days of
receipt of Tenant's notice. If Landlord shall not respond within such twenty
(20) day period, it shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed transfer.
Landlord shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its consent if, in
the judgment of Landlord: i. the transferee is of a character or engaged in a
business which is not in keeping with the standards or criteria used by Landlord
in leasing the Building; ii. the financial condition of the transferee is such
that it may not be able to perform its obligations in connection with this
Lease; iii. the transferee is a tenant of or negotiating for space in the
Building; iv. the transferee is a governmental unit; v. Tenant is in Default
under this Lease; or vi. in the judgment of Landlord, such a Transfer would
violate any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of the Landlord involving
the Building or any other tenant's lease within it. If Landlord wrongfully
withholds its consent to any Transfer, Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy
therefor shall be to seek specific performance of Landlord's obligation to
consent to such Transfer.
c. Recapture. If Landlord consents to any Transfer, Tenant shall pay
----------
to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all rent and other consideration received by
Tenant in excess of the Rent paid by Tenant hereunder for the portion of the
Premises so transferred. Such rent shall be paid as and when received by Tenant.
Tenant shall have the right to deduct from such excess rent, on a pro-rata
basis, Tenant's reasonable costs and expenses directly related to the Transfer
including, but not limited to, broker's commissions, tenant improvements, and
legal fees.
14. SURRENDER
Upon expiration or sooner termination of the Term or Tenant's right to
possession of the Premises, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in
substantially the same order and condition when received, except for, ordinary
wear and damage by fire or other casualty or any other damage that Tenant has no
obligation to repair. Tenant shall remove any of the initial improvements
required to be removed pursuant to Exhibit B hereof, at its sole costs and
---------
expense, prior to the surrender of the Premises, and restore any areas damaged
by such removal to a reasonably good condition consistent with the required
condition of the balance of the Premises under this paragraph. If Landlord
requires Tenant to remove any alterations pursuant to Section 9, then such
removal shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner; and upon such removal
Tenant shall restore the Premises to its condition prior to the installation of
such alterations. If Tenant does not remove such alterations after request to do
so by Landlord, Landlord may remove the same and restore the Premises; and
Tenant shall pay the cost of such removal and restoration to Landlord upon
demand. Tenant shall also remove its furniture, equipment, trade fixtures and
all other items of personal property from the Premises prior to termination of
the Term or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises. If Tenant does not
remove such items, Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have conveyed the
same to Landlord without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant; or at
Landlord's sole option such items shall be deemed abandoned, in which event
Landlord may cause such items to be removed and disposed of at Tenant's expense,
which shall be 115% of Landlord's actual cost of removal, without notice to
Tenant and without obligation to compensate Tenant.
15. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
a. Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute
--------
a default (a "Default") by Tenant under this Lease: (i) Tenant fails to pay any
Rent when due, including, without limitation, Adjustment Rent, and such failure
is not cured within three (3) business days after notice from Landlord (which
notice may be in the form of a statutory notice to pay rent or quit); (ii)
Tenant fails to perform any other provision of this Lease and such failure is
not cured within thirty (30) days (or immediately if the failure involves a
hazardous condition) after notice from Landlord (unless the nature of the
default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured in thirty (30) days, in which
event Tenant shall not be in Default so long as Tenant commences the cure within
thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently prosecute the cure to completion);
(iii) the leasehold interest of Tenant is levied upon or attached under process
of law; (iv) Tenant abandons the Premises; or (v) any voluntary or involuntary
proceedings are filed by or against Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease under
any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws and, in the case of any involuntary
proceedings, are not dismissed within thirty (30) days after any filing by
Tenant or sixty (60) days after any involuntary filing.
15
b. Remedies Upon Tenant's Default. Upon a Default, Landlord shall
-------------------------------
have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies
provided by law, equity, statute or otherwise provided in this Lease, to which
Landlord may resort cumulatively or in the alternative:
Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate
Tenant's right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to collect Rent
when due. During the period Tenant is in default, Landlord may enter the
Premises and relet it, or any part of it, to third parties for Tenant's account,
provided that any Rent in excess of the Rent due hereunder shall be payable to
Landlord, but shall be applied to Tenant's obligations hereunder. Tenant shall
be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the
Premises, including, without limitation, brokers' commissions, expenses of
cleaning and redecorating the Premises required by the reletting and like costs.
Reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term of this
Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Rent and other sums due under this
Lease on the dates the Rent is due, less the Rent and other sums Landlord
receives from any reletting. No act by Landlord allowed by this Section 15.b
------------
shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that
Landlord elects to terminate this Lease.
"THE LESSOR HAS THE REMEDY DESCRIBED IN CIVIL CODE SECTION 1951.4
(LESSOR MAY CONTINUE THE LEASE IN EFFECT AFTER LESSEE'S BREACH OR
ABANDONMENT AND RECOVER RENT AS IT BECOMES DUE, IF LESSEE HAS THE RIGHT TO
SUBLET OR ASSIGN SUBJECT ONLY TO REASONABLE LIMITATIONS)."
Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises at any time
by giving written notice to that effect. No act by Landlord other than giving
written notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance,
efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord's
initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not constitute
a termination of Tenant's right to possession. On termination, Landlord shall
have the right to remove all personal property of Tenant and store it at
Tenant's cost and to recover from Tenant as damages: (1) the worth at the time
of award of unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which had been earned at
the time of termination; plus (2) the worth at the time of award of the amount
by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which would have been
payable after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of the Rent
loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (3) the worth
at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due
and payable for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of the Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (4)
any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment
proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations under
this Lease, or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to
result therefrom, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses incurred
by Landlord: (a) in retaking possession of the Premises, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs therefor; (b) maintaining or preserving the Premises
for reletting to a new tenant, including repairs or alterations to the Premises
for the reletting; (c) leasing commissions attributable to the new lease; (d)
any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; and (e) at
Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the
foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by the laws of the State of
California.
The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in Sections 15.b (1)
-----------------
and (2) is computed by allowing interest at the lesser of twelve percent (12%)
-------
per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, on the unpaid Rent and other
sums due and payable from the termination date through the date of award. The
"worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in Section 15.b.3 is
--------------
computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco at the time of award, plus one percent (1%). Tenant
waives redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or under any other present or future law, if
Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any
default of Tenant hereunder.
c. Other Remedies. Landlord may but shall not be obligated to
---------------
perform any obligation of Tenant under this Lease and if Landlord so elects, all
costs and expenses paid by Landlord in performing such obligation, together with
interest at the Default Rate, shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord on
demand. Any and all remedies set forth in this Lease: (i) shall be in addition
to any and all other remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity, (ii) shall
be cumulative, and (iii) may be pursued successively or concurrently as Landlord
may elect. The exercise of any remedy by Landlord shall not be deemed an
election of remedies or preclude Landlord from exercising any other remedies in
the future.
16
d. Bankruptcy. If Tenant becomes bankrupt, the bankruptcy trustee
-----------
shall not have the right to assume or assign this Lease unless the trustee
complies with all requirements of the United States Bankruptcy Code; and
Landlord expressly reserves all of its rights, claims, and remedies thereunder.
e. Waiver of Trial by Jury. Landlord and Tenant waive trial by jury
------------------------
in the event of any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either
Landlord or Tenant against the other in connection with this Lease.
f. Counterclaims. Tenant hereby waives the right to interpose any
--------------
counterclaim in any proceeding instituted by Landlord against Tenant to
terminate the Lease, to obtain possession of the Premises, or to recover Rent.
g. Venue. If either Landlord or Tenant desires to bring an action
------
against the other in connection with this Lease, such action shall be brought in
the federal or state courts located in the state in which the Building in
located. Landlord and Tenant consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and
waive any right to have such action transferred from such courts on the grounds
of improper venue or inconvenient forum.
16. HOLDING OVER
If Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination
of the Term or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, Tenant shall pay
Rent during such holding over at one hundred fifty percent (150%) the rate in
effect immediately preceding such holding over computed on a monthly basis for
each month or partial month that Tenant remains in possession. Tenant shall also
pay, indemnify and defend Landlord from and against all claims and damages,
consequential as well as direct, sustained by reason of Tenant's holding over.
The provisions of this Section do not waive Landlord's right of re-entry or
right to regain possession by actions at law or in equity or any other rights
hereunder, and any receipt of payment by Landlord shall not be deemed a consent
by Landlord to Tenant's remaining in possession or be construed as creating or
renewing any lease or right of tenancy between Landlord and Tenant.
17. SECURITY DEPOSIT
a. On or before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord cash or a letter of credit having a term of at least one year (the
"Letter of Credit") in an amount equal to the amounts expended by Landlord for
leasing commissions and the amount reimbursed to Tenant for Tenant Improvements
to be made pursuant to Exhibit B hereto, which amount is estimated by Landlord
---------
to be approximately $196,762. Any Letter of Credit shall be reduced by 1/5 on
each anniversary of the Commencement Date, provided when the balance shall be
reduced to $34,848 (the "Minimum Balance") or less, Tenant shall deliver cash in
the amount of the Minimum Balance in lieu of the Letter of Credit and the Letter
of Credit shall be returned to Tenant. If the Letter of Credit is replaced with
cash in excess of the Minimum Balance and the conditions to a reduction of the
security shall have been met, then the amount of cash security shall be reduced
on each anniversary of the Commencement Date to the amount of the Letter of
Credit that would otherwise be required hereunder, and any excess shall be
promptly refunded to Tenant. While any Letter of Credit is outstanding: 1.
Tenant shall replace the letter of credit at least thirty (30) days before the
due date thereof, and if Tenant does not do so, Landlord shall be entitled to
draw on the Letter of Credit for the full amount thereof and shall hold the
proceeds thereof until applied as provided herein, or until Tenant delivers to
Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit ; 2. the issuing bank and the form of the
Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion; 3. if
Landlord shall transfer the property, Tenant shall, provided Landlord shall
agree as a condition to Tenant's obligation hereunder to replace such Letter of
Credit, to return any superseded Letter of Credit to Tenant, cause its bank to
issue a replacement letter of credit or amendment to any existing Letter of
Credit naming the new owner as beneficiary, and if it fails to do so within ten
(10) business days after Landlord's request therefor, Landlord is authorized to
cash the Letter of Credit and deliver the proceeds thereof to any successor
owner, to be applied as provided herein; and 4) the Letter of Credit shall be
security for Tenant's timely performance of its obligations hereunder, and if a
default shall occur under the Lease, Landlord may cash the Letter of Credit and
apply the proceeds thereof as described in the next succeeding subsection of
this Paragraph.
17
b. The Letter of Credit and any cash held by Landlord pursuant to
the preceding subsection of this Paragraph (the "Security Deposit") shall be
security for the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Upon the
occurrence of a Default, Landlord may use all or any part of the Security
Deposit for the payment of any Rent or for the payment of any amount which
Landlord may pay or become obligated to pay by reason of such Default, or to
compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason
of such Default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is used, Tenant shall
within five (5) business days after written demand therefor deposit cash with
Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original
amount. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate
from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the
Security Deposit, except to the extent required by law. In no event shall the
Security Deposit be considered an advanced payment of Rent, and in no event
shall Tenant be entitled to use the Security Deposit for the payment of Rent.
The Security Deposit or any balance thereof after applying said security deposit
to the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, shall be returned to Tenant
within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term and vacation of the
Premises by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security
Deposit to any purchaser of the Building. Upon transfer of the Security Deposit,
Tenant shall look solely to such purchaser for return of the Security Deposit;
and Landlord shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the Security
Deposit.

19. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
a. Tenant shall within ten (10) business days following written request
by Landlord:
1. Execute and deliver to Landlord any documents, including estoppel
certificates, in the form prepared by Landlord:
(i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force
and effect or, if modified, stating the nature of such
modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is
in full force and effect, and the date to which the rent and
other charges are paid in advance, if any; and
(ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any
uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or if there
are uncured defaults on the part of the Landlord, stating the
nature of such uncured defaults; and
(iii) evidencing the status of the Lease as may be required
either by a lender making a loan to Landlord to be secured by
deed of trust or mortgage covering the Premises or a purchaser of
the Property from Landlord.
Tenant's failure to deliver an estoppel certificate within ten
(10) business days after delivery of Landlord's written request
therefor shall be conclusive upon Tenant:
(x) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord;
(y) that there are then no uncured defaults in Landlord's
performance; and
(z) that no rent has been paid in advance.
b. Landlord shall, within twenty (20) days following written request by
Tenant execute and deliver to Tenant an estoppel certificate in a form
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord certifying (i) that this Lease is unmodified
and in full force and effect or, if modified, stating the nature of such
modification, and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Landlord's
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Tenant hereunder, or if there are
uncured defaults on the part of the Landlord, stating the nature of such uncured
defaults.

20. SUBORDINATION
This Lease is and shall be expressly subject and subordinate at all times to (i)
any ground or underlying lease of the Building, now or hereafter existing, and
all amendments, 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
Building and/or the leasehold estate thereunder, and all amendments, renewals,
modifications and extensions thereof unless such ground lease or ground lessor,
mortgage or mortgagee, or trust deed or trustee or beneficiary, expressly
provides or elects that the Lease shall be superior to such lease, mortgage, or
trust deed. Without limiting the foregoing, such subordination may be effected
by notice by any ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee or beneficiary to Tenant, or
by a unilateral instrument of subordination executed by such mortgagee, trustee,
or ground lessor and recorded in the records of the county in which the Building
is located, without the necessity of written notice to or further agreement of
Tenant. If any such mortgage or trust deed is foreclosed, or if any such ground
lease is terminated, upon request of the mortgagee, holder or lessor, as the
case may be and regardless of whether such mortgagee or lessee shall have
subordinated its interest to the interest of Tenant under this Lease, Tenant
will attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to the lessor under such
lease, as the case may be on the terms and conditions contained in this Lease,
or shall execute a new lease with such purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to
the lessor under such lease, as the case may be, on all of the terms and
conditions contained in this Lease. The foregoing provisions are declared to be
self-operative and no further instruments shall be required to effect such
subordination and/or attornment; provided, however, that Tenant agrees upon
request by any such mortgagee, holder, lessor or purchaser at foreclosure, to
execute and deliver such subordination and/or attornment instruments as may be
required by such person to confirm such subordination and/or attornment, or any
other documents required to evidence superiority of the ground lease or
mortgage, should ground lessor or mortgagee elect such superiority, provided it
shall be a condition of Tenant's obligation to execute any such subordination
agreement that the beneficiary of such agreement agree in the same agreement
that in the event of a foreclosure, such beneficiary shall recognize the Lease
and Tenant's right to posses the Premises shall not be disturbed so long as it
shall not be in Default under this Lease. If Tenant fails to execute and
deliver any instrument or document required under this paragraph, within ten
(10) days after request, Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed
Landlord and Landlord's beneficiaries as Tenant's attorneys-in-fact to execute
and deliver such instrument or document in Tenant's name.
21. QUIET ENJOYMENT
Landlord represents that it has the authority to enter into this Lease. As long
as no Default exists, Tenant shall peacefully and quietly have and enjoy the
Premises for the Term, free from interference by Landlord, subject, however, to
the provisions of this Lease. The loss or reduction of Tenant's light, air or
view will not be deemed a disturbance of Tenant's occupancy of the Premises nor
will it affect Tenant's obligations under this Lease or create any liability of
Landlord to Tenant.
22. BROKER
Tenant represents to Landlord that Tenant has dealt only with the broker(s) set
forth in Item 7 of the Schedule (collectively, the "Broker") in connection with
------
this Lease and that, insofar as Tenant knows, no other broker negotiated this
Lease or is entitled to any commission in connection herewith. Tenant agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord's beneficiaries and agents
harmless from and against any claims for a fee or commission made by any broker,
other than the Broker, claiming to have acted on behalf of Tenant in connection
with this Lease. Landlord agrees to pay the Broker a commission in accordance
with a separate agreement between Landlord and the Broker.
23. NOTICES
All notices and demands to be given by one party to the other party under this
Lease shall be given in writing, mailed or delivered to Landlord or Tenant, as
the case may be, at the address set forth in the Schedule or at such other
address as either party may hereafter designate. Notices shall be delivered by
hand or by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, or by a nationally recognized overnight air courier service.
Notices shall be considered to have been given upon actual receipt or refusal
of delivery.

constitute an irrevocable offer by Tenant to lease the Premises on the terms and
conditions set forth herein, which offer may not be revoked for fifteen (15)
days after such delivery.
e. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of
-------------
this Lease shall not affect or impair any other provisions.

possession to Tenant. If the Commencement Date is so delayed and as a result
would occur on a day other than the first day of the month; (i) the Commencement
Date shall be further delayed until the first day of the following month, (ii)

any recourse be had to any other property or assets of Landlord.
25. PARKING
Tenant shall have the right to park in the Building's parking
facilities in common with other tenants of the Building upon terms and

spaces allocated to it. Tenant acknowledges that parking is currently on a
first-come, first-served basis. Tenant agrees not to use in excess of the
number of spaces allocated to it and agrees to cooperate with Landlord and other
tenants in the use of the parking facilities. Landlord reserves the right, in
its absolute discretion, to determine whether the parking facilities are
becoming crowded and to allocate and assign parking spaces among Tenant and the
other tenants, so long as the number of spaces allocated to Tenant shall not be
reduced unless Landlord is required by law to do so. Landlord shall not be
liable to Tenant, nor shall this Lease be affected, if any parking is impaired
by moratorium, initiative, referendum, law, ordinance, regulation or order
passed, issued or made by any governmental or quasi-governmental body.

and Tenant will meet and promptly attempt to resolve any differences.
Architect shall revise the Drawings based on Landlord's suggested changes
or the changes agreed between Landlord and Tenant, and resubmit the revised
Drawings until the parties are able to agree on the final form of Drawings.
The parties will agree on the final form of Drawings within twenty (20)
