PREMISES
Section 2.01. Demise of Premises. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee and
Lessee leases from Lessor for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the terms
and conditions set forth herein, Premises consisting of one building
("Building") of ten free standing, office and research and development buildings
("Buildings") together with other Common Area improvements, buildings,
structural features and amenities described herein to be constructed by Lessor
on real property situated in Redwood City, County of San Mateo, State of
California, more particularly described in Exhibit A and commonly known as
Pacific Shores Center (the "Project"). The Building will be five stories tall
and will consist of approximately Two Hundred Seventy Nine Thousand, Five
Hundred Eighty Four (279,584) rentable square feet, as more particularly
described and depicted herein in Exhibits "A" and "B." The actual rentable
square footage of the Building (the "Rentable Area") will be determined and
certified by Lessor's architect by a method described as "dripline," whereby the
measurement encompasses the outermost perimeter of the constructed building,
including every projection thereof and all area beneath each such projection,
whether or not enclosed, with no deduction for any inward deviation of structure
and with the measurement being made floor by floor, beginning from the top of
the Building provided, that, Rentable Area does not include the open area
beneath the walkway between the Building and a second building also being leased
by Lessee. The legal parcel on which the Building is to be constructed is herein
designated as the "Property." The Building leased hereunder, commonly known as
Building 6 - Pacific Shores Center, Redwood City, California, and its
appurtenances described herein are herein designated as the "Premises."
Section 2.02. Common Area. During the Lease Term, Lessee shall have the
non-exclusive right to use the Common Area defined herein. Lessor reserves the
right to modify the Common Area, including reducing the size or changing the
use, configuration and elements thereof in its sole discretion and to close or
restrict access from time to time for repair, maintenance or to prevent a
dedication thereof, provided that Lessee nonetheless shall have access to
parking and the Premises during such activities and, provided further, that
Lessor will continue to maintain the baseball and soccer fields and the
amenities/athletic facility or replacement items of like kind for so long as
Lessor is legally able to do so during the Lease Term. Lessor further reserves
the right to establish, repeal and amend from time to time rules and regulations
for the use of the Common Area (provided that, to the extent that any conflict
between any new Rules and Regulations and this Lease (including the Rules and
Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit "L") would materially and adversely
affect Lessee's use of the Premises, this Lease shall govern, and to grant
reciprocal easements or other rights to use the
-2-
Common Area to owners of other property. "Common Area" includes, without
limitation, all portions of the Property other than the Building, including
landscaping, sidewalks, walkways, driveways, curbs, parking lots (including
striping), roadways within the Project, sprinkler systems, lighting, surface
water drainage systems, an amenities/athletic facility to be available for use
by Lessee's employees (the "Amenities/Athletic Facility"), as well as baseball
and soccer fields, a water front park, and a perimeter walking/biking trial,
and, to the extent required by government authorities having jurisdiction over
Lessor's development of the Project, amphitheater, marine life resource center,
retreat and conference center, child care center and such further portions of
the Project or additional or different facilities as Lessor may from time to
time designate or install or make available for the use by Lessee in common with
others.
Section 2.03. Parking. Lessor shall provide Lessee with parking spaces
within the Property in the ratio to space within the Building as required by law
which is three (3.0) spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet of space within
the Building. In the event Lessor elects or is required by any law to limit or
control parking at the Premises, whether by validation of parking tickets or any
other method of assessment, Lessee agrees to participate in such validation or
assessment program under such reasonable rules and regulations as are from time
to time established by Lessor.
Section 2.04. Construction.
(a) Government Approvals. Lessor shall diligently pursue obtaining
governmental approval of a Site Plan and Building design and elevations with
respect to the development of the Premises, copies of which are attached hereto
as Exhibit "A." The parties acknowledge and agree that the final footprint and
elevations of the Building may vary from those attached as Exhibit "A" because
the plans and specifications will undergo a plancheck process with the City of
Redwood City (the "City") and Lessor will make such revisions as are required or
are otherwise deemed necessary or appropriate by Lessor, provided however, that
nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve Lessor from the duty to develop the
Building substantially in compliance with Exhibits "A" and "B." In the event the
City requires material changes to the Site Plan and Building design attached
hereto as Exhibit A, Lessor shall notify Lessee and provide Lessee with the
opportunity to review such changes. In the event the proposed changes are
unacceptable to Lessee, Lessee shall have the right to meet with the City (in
the presence of Lessor) to discuss the changes and negotiate changes that are
acceptable to Lessee and Lessor in the reasonable discretion of each, provided
that no delay to the construction schedule will be caused by same. If the
changes to the Building Design result in additional square footage being added
to the Building, any additional square footage which will increase the Load (as
defined below) of the Rentable Area of the Building as the Building design
exists on February 15, 2000 by more than 5%, shall not be included in the
rentable square footage of the Premises. For purposes of this Lease, "Load"
shall mean that square footage of the Building outside the exterior walls and
included in Rentable Area because of projections from the roof of the Building
or the "dripline."
(b) Construction of Shell Building. Lessor, utilizing Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx
-3-
(or such alternate as Lessor in its sole discretion may select) as general
contractor ("General Contractor"), shall construct the "Building Shell" (as
defined in the attached Exhibit "D") in accordance with (i) plans and
specifications to be attached as Exhibit "B," which shall be consistent with DES
Development Progress Plan dated February 14, 2000 for structural steel for lot 6
and 6P, and (ii) all existing applicable municipal, local, state and federal
laws, statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances. Lessor shall pay all costs of
constructing the Building Shell.
(c) Construction of Tenant Improvements. Lessor, using the General
Contractor, shall construct the Tenant Improvements and shall contribute the
Tenant Improvement Allowance towards the payment of same and Lessee shall pay
all costs associated with same in excess of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee, by written notice delivered to Lessor on
or before June 1, 2000, may select a general contractor other than Lessor's
General Contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements, provided that (i) such
general contractor has sufficient financial strength and experience in
constructing first class quality improvements of the type to be constructed in
the Premises to reasonably satisfy Lessor and any lender whose loan is secured
by the Project or any part thereof and, (ii) the Tenant Improvements identified
on Exhibit "M" hereto as "Warm Shell Improvements" shall be constructed by
Lessor's General Contractor (notwithstanding that they retain their status as
Tenant Improvements the cost of which is to be charged to the Tenant Improvement
Allowance.
(d) Tenant Improvement Plans and Cost Estimate If Lessor's Contractor
Constructs Tenant Improvement. Lessee shall work with Lessor's architect to
develop interior schematic drawings and Lessee shall approve final interior
schematic drawings for the Building no later than June 1, 2000. Lessee shall
work with Lessor's architect to develop working drawings outlining, among other
things, Lessee's wall layout, detailed electrical and air conditioning
requirements and finishes ("Working Drawings") and Lessee shall approve final
Working Drawings on or before August 24, 2000. The cost of the interior
schematic drawings and Working Drawings shall be a Tenant Improvement cost.
Based on this information, Landlord shall cause the General Contractor to
prepare and deliver to Lessee a budget for the Tenant Improvements ("Budget").
Lessee shall approve the Budget (or disapprove and modify the same with Lessor's
consent), in writing, within ten (10) business days thereafter. The Working
Drawings and Budget must be approved by Lessor in writing and be of quality
equal to or greater than the Interior Specifications Standards set forth in
Exhibit "C." Once the Budget is approved, Lessor shall enter into a guaranteed
maximum price contract with the General Contractor for the construction of the
Tenant Improvements in accordance with the approved final Working Drawings (the
"Construction Contract"). Lessee shall have no liability for costs to construct
the Tenant Improvements which are in excess of such guaranteed maximum price
except for Change Orders and any costs resulting from Lessee Delay. The Tenant
Improvement Allowance shall not apply to and Lessee shall have no liability for
traffic mitigation payments.
(e) Construction Plans. Attached as Exhibit "C" to this Lease is a Work
Letter Agreement for Tenant Improvements, and Exhibit "D," Cost Responsibilities
of Lessor and Lessee, which together with this Section 2.04, describe the
planning and payment responsibilities of the Lessor and Lessee with respect to
the construction of the Shell Building and Tenant Improvements at the Premises.
-4-
(f) Tenant Improvement Allowance. Lessor shall provide to Lessee
semi-improved "cold" shell facilities as described in Exhibit "D" attached and a
Tenant Improvement Allowance of $27.50 per square foot to be used for the Tenant
Improvements outlined in Exhibit "D," all as outlined in the Tenant Improvement
Work Letter attached as Exhibit "C." Subcontracts for all Tenant Improvement
Work shall be obtained by a sealed competitive bid process (involving at least
two qualified bidders) wherever practical and as to work done without such
process, Lessor or the General Contractor shall provide reasonable assurance to
Lessee that the cost and expense of same is competitive in the industry for
first-class workmanship and materials.
(g) Payment for Tenant Improvements. Within five (5) business days
after the Budget is approved by Lessor and Lessee, Lessee shall deposit Lessee's
share of the amount budgeted for the entire Tenant Improvement construction
schedule (together with the cost of any Tenant Improvements already made) in an
interest bearing escrow account with Lessor's Construction Lender the interest
being credited to Lessee, provided that, if Lessor's Construction Lender fails
to agree in writing that, upon any foreclosure, Lender or any other successor in
interest to Lessor, will either apply the deposited amount in accordance with
the provisions of this Lease or return same to Lessee, said escrow account shall
be opened at an institution, other than Lessor's Construction Lender, pursuant
to joint escrow instructions of Lessor and Lessee providing for disbursements in
accordance with this Lease. Lessee's share is the portion of the budgeted amount
not paid from the Tenant Improvement Allowance as described in the following
sentence. Said construction lender (or other institutional escrow holder, as the
case may be) shall issue payments from said account pursuant to the construction
contract for the Tenant Improvements with a portion of each payment being taken
from the Tenant Improvement Allowance (in the same ratio as the Tenant
Improvement Allowance bears to the entire Budget total) and the balance being
paid from Lessee's deposit, until the Tenant Improvement Allowance is exhausted,
whereupon any remaining payments shall be made 100% by Lessee. Lessor shall
manage the construction of the Tenant Improvements for a supervision fee of 2.5%
of the Budget (as the same may change by agreement of the parties) due and
payable in nine equal monthly installments beginning on the first day of the
calendar month following the calendar month in which the Budget is first
approved.
(h) Lessee's Fixturing Period. If Lessor's Contractor constructs the
Tenant Improvements, Lessor shall provide Lessee access to the Premises during
the thirty (30) day period prior to the Commencement Date ("Lessee's Fixturing
Period") for the purpose of installing furnishings and equipment, e.g. security
system, furniture system and phone and data system, provided, that Lessee and
Lessee's employees and contractors shall at all times avoid interfering with
Lessor's ongoing work to bring the Premises to a substantially completed
condition. Except for payment of Base Rent, all terms and provisions of this
Lease shall apply during Lessee's Fixturing Period, including, without
limitation, Lessee's indemnity and other obligations set forth in Sections
7.07., 7.08. and 17.22. hereof.
ARTICLE III
TERM
-5-
Section 3.01. Lease Term.
(a) Commencement Date. The term of this Lease ("Lease Term") shall be
for twelve years and six months (12 yrs. 6 months) beginning on the earlier of
(i) the date a Certificate of Occupancy first is issued affecting the Building,
or (ii) the date on which Lessee first occupies or conducts business at the
Premises (the "Commencement Date") provided that, (i) for each day of delay by
Lessee in failing to approve the interior schematic drawings or the Working
Drawings when required under Section 2.04(d), or (ii) for each day of delay by
Lessee in failing to approve the Budget, in writing, within ten (10) business
days after delivery by the General Contractor as provided in Section 2.04(d), or
(iii) for each day of delay caused by any changes to the approved Working
Drawings requested by Lessee, or (iv) for each day that any other act or
omission by Lessee causes the construction schedule for Tenant Improvements to
be delayed (collectively "Lessee Delay"), the Commencement Date shall occur one
(1) day in advance of the date of the Certificate of Occupancy for each such day
of delay, provided that, in no event shall Lessee Delay be used to advance the
Commencement Date to a date earlier than April 1, 2001. For example, if seven
(7) days of Lessee Delay causes the date of issuance of the Certificate of
Occupancy to occur on April 8, 2001 rather than April 1, 2001, the Commencement
Date shall be April 1, 2001 for all purposes, including payment of Base Rent and
Additional Rent. The Lease Term shall expire, unless sooner terminated or
extended as provided herein, on the date which completes twelve years and six
months after the Commencement Date occurs or is deemed to have occurred, e.g. if
the date on which the Certificate of Occupancy is issued or deemed to be issued
for the Building is April 1, 2001, the Lease Term shall expire on September 30,
2013 and if that date is April 3, 2001, the Lease Term shall expire on October
2, 2013 ("Expiration Date"). The parties shall execute a "Memorandum of
Commencement of Lease Term" when the Commencement Date becomes known, which
shall include a certification of the actual Rentable Area of the Building
determined by the methodology described in Section 2.01. and the actual monthly
installments of Base Rent to be paid pursuant to Section 4.01., and shall be
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "E."
(b) Scheduled Commencement Date. Lessor shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Certificate of Occupancy for Building 6 to be
issued no later than April 1, 2001 ("Scheduled Commencement Date"). If a
Certificate of Occupancy is not issued for Building 6 on or before the Scheduled
Commencement Date, this failure shall not affect the validity of this Lease or
the obligations of Lessee under it. If the Commencement Date is adjusted for
delay from any cause, the Expiration Date shall be likewise adjusted for a like
period.
(c) Termination in Event of Delay.
(i) If for any reason Lessor has not acquired fee title to the
Project by May 1, 2000, then Lessee, at its sole election, may terminate this
Lease upon giving notice within ten (10) days thereafter.
-6-
(ii) If for any reason Lessor has not commenced construction
of the Building Shell (i.e. begun driving piles for the foundation) by September
1, 2000, then Lessee, at its sole election, may terminate this Lease upon giving
notice within ten (10) days thereafter.
(iii) If Lessor is unable to cause the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy for the Building, on or before the date which is one
hundred eighty (180) days after the Scheduled Commencement Date (for any cause
other than Lessee Delay or Force Majeure, delay excused under Section 17.21.),
Lessee, at its sole election, may terminate this Lease upon giving notice within
ten (10) days thereafter.
(iv) If Lessor is unable to cause the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy for the Building, on or before the date which is
eighteen (18) months (extended by any Lessee Delay) after the Scheduled
Commencement Date (for a cause other than Lessee Delay), of which a maximum
amount of twelve (12) months of delay may be due to Force Majeure Delays, but
which date shall not be extended for Force Majeure Delays, Lessee, at its sole
election, may terminate this Lease upon giving notice within ten (10) days
thereafter.
(v) In the event of any termination by Lessee under this
Section 3.01(c) all amounts previously deposited by Lessee with Lessor
(including, without limitation, any prepaid rent, the Security Deposit, and
undisbursed Tenant Improvement costs) shall be returned to Lessee. Failure to
give such notice within any specified then (10) day time period constitutes an
irrevocable waiver of the foregoing rights to terminate under this Section
3.01(c).
(d) Commencement Date If Lessee Constructs Tenant Improvements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, If Lessee elects to construct the Tenant
Improvements as provided in Section 2.04(c), subsections 3.01(b) and
3.01(c)(iii) and (iv) shall be null and void and the Commencement Date shall be
the date which is forty-five (45) days after the date on which Lessor delivers
the Building Shell with Warm Shell Improvements substantially completed,
provided that Lessee shall cause its contractor not to interfere with Lessor's
contractor's remaining work and Lessor shall cause its contractor to not
interfere with Lessee's contractor.
Section 3.02. Option to Extend.
(a) Exercise. Lessee is given one (1) option to extend the Lease Term
("Option to Extend") for a five (5) year period ("Extended Term") following the
date on which the initial Lease Term would otherwise expire, which option may be
exercised only by written notice ("Option Notice") from Lessee to Lessor given
not less than twelve (12) months prior to the end of the initial Lease Term
("Option Exercise Date"); provided, however, if Lessee is in material default
under this Lease (beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure
period) on the Option Exercise Date or on any day thereafter on or before the
last day of the initial Lease Term, the Option Notice shall be totally
ineffective, and this Lease shall expire on the last day of the initial Lease
Term, if not sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of this Lease. The
right of Lessee to exercise an Option to Extend shall not be affected by any
sublease or assignment of this Lease previously entered into by Lessee pursuant
to the provisions of this Lease.
-7-
(b) Extended Term Rent. In the event Lessee exercises its Option to
Extend set forth herein, all the terms and conditions of this Lease shall
continue to apply except that the Base Rent payable by Lessee during each Option
Term shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of Fair Market Rent (defined
below), as determined under subparagraph (c) below. "Fair Market Rent" shall
mean the effective rate being charged (including periodic adjustments thereto as
applicable during the period of the Extended Term), for comparable space in
similar buildings in the Project, i.e. of a similar age and quality considering
any recent renovations or modernization, and floor plate size or, if such
comparable space is not available, adjustments shall be made in the
determination of Fair Market Rent to reflect the age and quality of the Building
as contrasted to other buildings used for comparison purposes, with similar
amenities, taking into consideration: size, location, floor level, leasehold
improvements or allowances provided or to be provided, term of the lease, extent
of services to be provided, the time that the particular rate under
consideration became or is to become effective, and any other relevant terms or
conditions applicable to both new and renewing tenants.
(c) Determination of Fair Market Rent.
(i) Negotiation. If Lessee so exercises its Option to Extend
in a timely manner, the parties shall then meet in good faith to negotiate the
Base Rent for the Premises for the Extended Term, during the first thirty (30)
days after the date of the delivery by Lessee of the Option Notice (the
"Negotiation Period"). If, during the Negotiation Period, the parties agree on
the Base Rent applicable to the Premises for the Extended Term, then such agreed
amount shall be the Base Rent payable by Lessee during the Extended Term.
(ii) Arbitration. In the event that the parties are unable to
agree on the Base Rent for the Premises within the Negotiation Period, then
within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Negotiation Period, each party
shall separately designate to the other in writing an appraiser to make this
determination. Each appraiser designated shall be a member of MAI and shall have
at least ten (10) years experience in appraising commercial real property, of
similar quality and use as the Premises, in San Mateo County. The failure of
either party to appoint an appraiser within the time allowed shall be deemed
equivalent to appointing the appraiser appointed by the other party, who shall
then determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises for the Extended Term.
Within five (5) business days of their appointment, the two designated
appraisers shall jointly designate a third similarly qualified appraiser. Within
thirty (30) days after their appointment, each of the two appointed appraisers
shall submit to the third appraiser a sealed envelope containing such appointed
appraiser's good faith determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises
for the Extended Term; concurrently with such delivery, each such appraiser
shall deliver a copy of his or her determination to the other appraiser. The
third appraiser shall within ten (10) days following receipt of such
submissions, then determine which of the two appraisers' determinations most
closely reflects Fair Market Rent as defined above. The determination most
closely reflecting the third appraiser's determination shall be deemed to be the
Fair Market Rent for the Premises during the Extended Term; the third appraiser
shall have no rights to adjust, amend or otherwise alter the determinations made
by the appraiser selected by the parties, but must select one or the other of
such appraisers' submissions. The
-8-
determination by such third appraiser shall be final and binding upon the
parties. Said third appraiser shall, upon selecting the determination which most
closely resembles Fair Market Rent, concurrently notify both parties hereto. The
Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be the determination so selected. The
parties shall share the appraisal expenses equally. If the Extended Term begins
prior to the determination of Fair Market Rent, Lessee shall pay monthly
installments of Base Rent equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the monthly
installment of Base Rent in effect for the last year of the initial Lease Term.
Once a determination is made, any over payment or under payment shall be
reimbursed as a credit against, or paid by adding to, the monthly installment of
Base Rent next falling due.
ARTICLE IV

Section 4.01. Base Rent. Lessee shall pay to Lessor as Base Rent an
initial monthly installment of Three Dollars and Twenty-Five Cents ($3.25) per

the first day of each calendar month of the Lease Term, commencing on the
Commencement Date. Base Rent for any period during the Lease Term which is for
less than one month shall be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment
(based on the actual days in that month).
Section 4.02. Rent Adjustment. The Base Rent set forth in Section 4.01.
above shall be adjusted upward by an annual compounded increase of three and
five tenths percent (3.5%), as of the first day of the thirteenth (13th) full
calendar month following the Commencement Date and as of each anniversary of
that date thereafter during the Lease Term, as shown on Exhibit "E" attached
hereto.
Section 4.03. First Payment of Base Rent. The estimated first monthly
payment of Base Rent in the sum of Nine Hundred Eight Thousand and Six Hundred
Forty Eight Dollars ($908,648.00) shall be due within five (5) days after
Lessee's execution of this Lease. Base Rent payments shall resume on the first
day of the calendar month immediately succeeding the Commencement Date. If the
Commencement Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, the first
payment of Base Rent subsequent to the Commencement Date, but only that payment
of Base Rent, shall be reduced by any excess of the first Base Rent installment
paid in advance over the prorated amount actually due for such partial first
month of the Lease Term.
Section 4.04. Absolute Triple Net Lease. This Lease is what is commonly
called an "Absolute Triple Net Lease," it being understood that Lessor shall
receive the Base Rent set forth in Section 4.01. free and clear of any and all
expenses, costs, impositions, taxes, assessments, liens or charges of any nature
whatsoever. Lessee shall pay all rent in lawful money of the United States of
America to Lessor at the notice address stated herein or to such other persons
or at such other places as Lessor may designate in writing on or before the due
date specified for same without prior demand, set-off or deduction of any nature
whatsoever. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Lease shall not
be terminable for any reason by Lessee expressly provided in Section 3.01, and
that, except as herein expressly provided in Articles III, VIII and XIII,
concerning delay, destruction and condemnation, Lessee shall in no event be
entitled to any
-9-
abatement of or reduction in rent payable under this Lease. Any present or
future law to the contrary shall not alter this agreement of the parties.
Section 4.05. Additional Rent. In addition to the Base Rent reserved by
Section 4.01., Lessee shall pay, as Additional Rent (i) 100% as to amounts
applicable solely to the Premises or Property and Lessee's Share is to amounts
applicable to the Project or Common Area of all taxes, assessments, fees and
other impositions payable by Lessee in accordance with the provisions of Article
IX, and insurance premiums in accordance with the provisions of Article VII,
(ii) Lessee's Share of Operating Expenses defined below provided that
notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to January 1, 2002, during the construction
phase of the Project, Lessee shall pay 100% of Operating Expenses applicable to
the Property or Premises in lieu of paying Lessee's Share of the specific items
being billed, and (iii) any other charges, costs and expenses (including
appropriate reserves therefor) which are contemplated or which may arise under
any provision of this Lease during the Lease Term, plus a Management Fee to
Lessor equal to 3% of the Base Rent. The Management Fee is due and payable, in
advance, with each installment of Base Rent. All of such charges, costs,
expenses, Management Fee and all other amounts payable by Lessee hereunder,
shall constitute Additional Rent, and upon the failure of Lessee to pay any of
such charges, costs or expenses, Lessor shall have the same rights and remedies
as otherwise provided in this Lease for the failure of Lessee to pay Base Rent.
Section 4.06. Security Deposit. Upon the date this Lease is executed by
Lessee, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor a Security Deposit equal to twelve (12)
month's estimated Base Rent in the amount of Ten Million, Nine Hundred Three
Thousand, Seven Hundred Seventy Six and no cents ($10,903,776.00) in the form of
an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit. without documents, with Lessor
as beneficiary, drawable in whole or in part, and providing for payment in San
Francisco on presentation of Lessee's drafts on sight and otherwise from a bank
and in a form acceptable to Lessor (the "Security Deposit"). The Security
Deposit shall be held by Lessor as security for the faithful performance by
Lessee of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease applicable
to Lessee. If Lessee defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease,
including but not limited to the provisions relating to the condition of the
Premises upon Lease Termination, Lessor may (but shall not be required to) use,
apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any
amount which Lessor may spend by reason of Lessee's default or to compensate
Lessor for any loss or damage which Lessor actually suffers by reason of
Lessee's default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied,
Lessee shall, within ten days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with
Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original
amount. Lessee's failure to do so shall be a Default by Lessee. The rights of
Lessor pursuant to this Section 4.06. are in addition to any rights which Lessor
may have pursuant to Article 12 below. If Lessee fully and faithfully performs
every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any
balance thereof shall be returned (without interest) to Lessee (or, at Lessor's
option, to the last assignee of Lessee's interests hereunder) at Lease
expiration or termination and after Lessee has vacated the Premises. Lessor
shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from Lessor's
general funds or be deemed a trustee of same. The letter of credit shall be
reduced to an amount equal to the total of three (3) months of Base Rent at the
then current rate, if Lessee establishes through financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and in a form
-10-
acceptable to Lessor that Lessee has achieved annual revenue for a period of at
least one (1) fiscal year of at least Seven Hundred Fifty Million Dollars
($750,000,000) and has further achieved quarterly operating profit of at least
One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) for not less than four (4)

remit to Lessee, as the case may be, the difference between the estimated
amounts paid by Lessee and the actual amount of Lessee's Share of Additional
Rent for such period as shown by such Statement. Lessee's Share of Additional
Rent for the ensuing estimation period shall be adjusted upward or downward
based upon Lessor's Statement.

from passing through, in Article IX, any one or more specified items as part of
the Community Facility District Bond.
Section 4.08 Section 4.07. Lessee's Right to Review Supporting Data.
(1) Exercise of Right by Lessee. Provided that Lessee is not
in default under this Lease and provided further that Lessee strictly complies
with the provisions of this Paragraph, Lessee shall have the right to reasonably
review supporting data for any portion of a Lessor's statement that Lessee
claims is incorrect. In order for Lessee to exercise its right under this
Paragraph, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after any such Lessor's
statement is sent, deliver a written notice to Lessor specifying the portions of
the Lessor's statement that are claimed to be incorrect, and Lessee shall
simultaneously pay to Lessor all amounts due from Lessee to Lessor as specified
in the Lessor's statement. Except as expressly set forth in subparagraph 3
below, in no event shall Lessee be entitled to withhold, deduct, or offset any
monetary obligation of Lessee to
-13-
Lessor under the Lease including, without limitation, Lessee's obligation to
make all Base Rent payments and all payments for Additional Rent pending the
completion of, and regardless of the results of, any review under this
Paragraph. The right to review granted to Lessee under this Paragraph may only
be exercised once for any Lessor's statement, and if Lessee fails to meet any of
the above conditions as a prerequisite to the exercise of such right, the right
of Lessee under this Paragraph for a particular Lessor's statement shall be
deemed waived.
(2) Procedures for Review. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor
maintains its records for the Building and Project at its offices in San
Francisco, and Lessee therefore agrees that any review of supporting data under
this Paragraph shall occur at such location. Any review to be conducted under
this Paragraph shall be at the sole expense of Lessee and shall be conducted by
an independent (i.e. not then engaged by lessee for any other purposes) firm of
certified public accountants of national standing. Lessee acknowledges and
agrees that any supporting data reviewed under this Paragraph constitute
confidential information of Lessor, which shall not be disclosed to anyone other
than the accountants performing the review and the principals of Lessee who
receive the results of the review. The disclosure of such information to any
other person, whether or not caused by the conduct of Lessee, shall constitute a
material breach of this Lease.
(3) Finding of Error. Any errors disclosed by the review of
supporting data under this Paragraph shall be promptly corrected, provided that
Lessor shall have the right to cause another review of the supporting data to be
made by an independent (i.e. not then engaged by Lessor for any other purposes)
firm of certified public accountants of national standing. In the event of a
disagreement between the two accounting firms, the review that discloses the
least amount of deviation from the Lessor's statement shall be deemed to be
correct and its review shall be final and binding on both Lessor and Lessee. If
the results of the review of supporting data taking into account, if applicable,
the results of any additional review caused by Lessor reveal that Lessee has
overpaid obligations for a preceding period, the amount of such overpayment
shall be credit against Lessee's subsequent installment obligations to pay its
share of Additional Rent. In the event that such results show that Lessee has
underpaid its obligations for a preceding period, the amount of such
underpayment shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor with the next succeeding
installment obligation of Additional Rent or, if the Lease has terminated, in
cash within thirty (30) days after the determination of underpayment is
delivered to Lessee. Each party shall pay the cost and expense of its chosen
accounting firm.
(4) Effect of Lessee's Default. In the event that Lessee
becomes in default of its obligations under this Lease at any time during the
pendency of a review of records under this Paragraph, said right to review shall
immediately cease and the matters originally set forth in the Lessor's statement
shall be deemed to be correct.
ARTICLE V
USE
Section 5.01. Permitted Use and Limitations on Use. The Premises shall
be used and occupied only for office, research and development, together with
such ancillary uses which do not cause excessive wear of the Premises or
increase the potential liability of Lessor, and for no
-14-
other use, without Lessor's prior written consent. Lessee shall not use, suffer
or permit the use of the Premises in any manner that will tend to create waste,
nuisance or unlawful acts. In no event shall it be unreasonable for Lessor to
withhold its consent as to uses which it determines would tend to increase
materially the wear of the Premises or any part thereof or increase the
potential liability of Lessor or decrease the marketability, financability,
leasability or value of the Premises. Lessee shall not do anything in or about
the Premises which will (i) cause structural injury to the Building or Premises,
or (ii) cause damage to any part of the Building except to the extent reasonably
necessary for the installation of Lessee's trade fixtures and Lessee's
Alterations, and then only in a manner which has been first approved by Lessor
in writing. Lessee shall not operate any equipment within the Building or
Premises which will (i) materially damage the Building or the Common Area, (ii)
overload existing electrical systems or other mechanical equipment servicing the
Building, (iii) impair the efficient operation of the sprinkler system or the
heating, ventilating or air conditioning ("HVAC") equipment within or servicing
the Building, or (iv) damage, overload or corrode the sanitary sewer system.
Lessee shall not attach, hang or suspend anything from the ceiling, roof, walls
or columns of the Building or set any load on the floor in excess of the load
limits for which such items are designed nor operate hard wheel forklifts within
the Premises. Any dust, fumes, or waste products generated by Lessee's use of
the Premises shall be contained and disposed so that they do not (i) create an
unreasonable fire or health hazard, (ii) damage the Premises, or (iii) result in
the violation of any law. Except as approved by Lessor, Lessee shall not change
the exterior of the Building, or install any equipment or antennas on or make
any penetrations of the exterior or roof of the Building. Lessee shall not
conduct on any portion of the Premises any sale of any kind, including any
public or private auction, fire sale, going-out-of-business sale, distress sale
or other liquidation sale. No materials, supplies, tanks or containers,
equipment, finished products or semifinished products, raw materials, inoperable
vehicles or articles of any nature shall be stored upon or permitted to remain
within the outside areas of the Premises except in fully fenced and screened
areas outside the Building which have been designed for such purpose and have
been approved in writing by Lessor for such use by Lessee.
Section 5.02. Compliance with Law.
(a) Lessor shall deliver the Premises to Lessee on the Commencement
Date (without regard to the use for which Lessee will use the Premises) free of
violations of any covenants or restrictions of record, or any applicable law,
building code, regulation or ordinance in effect on such Commencement Date,
including without limitation, the Americans with Disability Act, and free of
Year Two Thousand computer programming defects.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph 5.02.(a), Lessee shall, at Lessee's
cost and expense, comply promptly with all statutes, ordinances, codes, rules,
regulations, orders, covenants and restrictions of record, and requirements
applicable to the Premises and Lessee's use and occupancy of same in effect
during any part of the Lease Term, whether the same are presently foreseeable or
not, and without regard to the cost or expense of compliance. In the event any
compliance under this paragraph 5.02(b) is not caused by Lessee's particular use
or Alterations and would require Lessee to make any capital improvement to the
Premises, Lessor shall make such capital improvement, amortize the costs thereof
(including interest at the Agreed
-15-
Rate) over the useful life of the improvement (as determined by Lessor in the
reasonable exercise of its discretion) and charge to Lessee as Additional Rent,
such amortizing portion to be paid in equal monthly installments with payments
of Base Rent.
(c) By executing this Lease, Lessee acknowledges that it has reviewed
and satisfied itself as to its compliance, or intended compliance with the
applicable zoning and permit laws, hazardous materials and waste requirements,
and all other statutes, laws, or ordinances relevant to the uses stated in
Section 5.01., above.
Section 5.03. Condition of Premises at Commencement Date. Subject to
all of the terms of this Lease for the construction of Tenant Improvements.
Lessor shall deliver the Building to Lessee on the Commencement Date with the
Building plumbing, lighting, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, gas,
electrical, and sprinkler systems and loading doors as set forth in Exhibit "D"
in proper operating condition and built substantially in accordance with the
approved plans therefor, and in a workmanlike manner. Except as otherwise
provided in this Lease, Lessee hereby accepts the Premises in their condition
existing as of the Commencement Date, subject to all applicable zoning,
municipal, county and state laws, ordinances and regulations governing and
regulating the use and condition of the Premises, and any covenants or
restrictions, liens, encumbrances and title exceptions of record, and accepts
this Lease subject thereto and to all matters disclosed thereby and by any
exhibits attached hereto. Lessee acknowledges that neither Lessor nor any agent
of Lessor has made any representation or warranty as to the present or future
suitability of the Premises for the conduct of Lessee's business.
Section 5.04. Defective Condition at Commencement Date. In the event
that it is determined, and Lessee notifies Lessor in writing within one year
after the Commencement Date, that any of the obligations of Lessor set forth in
Section 5.02.(a) or Section 5.03.(a) were not performed, then it shall be the
obligation of Lessor, and the sole right and remedy of Lessee, after receipt of
written notice from Lessee setting forth with specificity the nature of the
failed performance, to promptly, within a reasonable time and at Lessor's sole
cost, correct same. Lessee's failure to give such written notice to Lessor
within one year after the Commencement Date shall constitute a conclusive
presumption that Lessor has complied with all of Lessor's obligations under the
foregoing sections 5.02. and 5.03., and any required correction after that date
shall be performed by Lessee, at its sole cost and expense. At the end of the
first year of the Lease Term, Lessor shall promptly assign to Lessee all of
Lessor's contractor's, and/or manufacturer's guarantees, warranties, and causes
of action.
Section 5.05. Building Security. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that it
assumes sole responsibility for security at the Premises and the Property for
its agents, employees, invitees, licensees, contractors, guests and visitors and
will provide such systems and personnel for same including, without limitation,
the Property, as it deems necessary or appropriate and at its sole cost and
expense. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor does not intend to provide
any security system or security personnel at the Premises, Property or Project
including, without limitation, at the Common Areas.
-16-
Section 5.06. Rules and Regulations. Lessor may from time to time
promulgate reasonable and nondiscriminatory rules and regulations applicable for
the care and orderly management of the Premises the Common Area and the Project.
Such rules and regulations shall be binding upon Lessor upon delivery of a copy
thereof to Lessor, and Lessor agrees to abide by such rules and regulations. A
copy of the initial Rules and Regulations is attached hereto as Exhibit "L." If
there is a conflict between the rules and regulations and any of the provisions
of this Lease, the provisions of this Lease shall prevail. Lessor shall not be
responsible for the violation of any such rules and regulations by any person,
including, without limitation, Lessee or its employees, agents, invitees,
licensees, guests, visitors or contractors.
ARTICLE VI

exterior walls (including all exterior glass which is damaged by structural
defects in such exterior walls), supporting pillars, structural walls, roof
structure and foundations of the Building and sewer and plumbing systems outside

shall replace the roof membrane of the Building, the parking lot surface,
landscaping, drainage, irrigation, sprinkler and sewer and plumbing systems
outside the Building systems when the useful life of each has expired, and
Lessee shall pay that portion of the cost of each replacement, together with
annual interest at the Agreed Rate which shall be amortized over the useful life
of each such replacement applicable to the balance of the Lease Term, in equal
monthly installments due and payable with installments of Base Rent provided
that as to repairs and replacements within the Common Area, Lessee shall pay
Lessee's Share. Lessee shall give Lessor written notice of any need of repairs

-17-
time to perform same. Should Lessor default as provided in Section 12.03 with
respect to its obligation to make any of the repairs assumed by it hereunder

licensees for any damage to person or property, and Lessee's sole right and
remedy shall be the performance of said repairs by Lessee with right of
reimbursement from Lessor of the reasonable fair market cost of said repairs,
not exceeding the sum actually expended by Lessee, together with accrued
interest from the date of Lessee's payment at the Agreed Rate, provided that
nothing herein shall be deemed to create a right of setoff or withholding by
Lessee of Base Rent or Additional Rent or any other amounts due herein. Lessee
hereby expressly waives all rights under and benefits of Sections 1941 and 1942
of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute or ordinance now
or hereafter in effect to make repairs and offset the cost of same against rent
or to withhold or delay any payment of rent or any other of its obligations
hereunder as a result of any default by Lessor under this Section 6.01.(b).
(c) Lessee agrees to keep the Premises, both inside and out, clean and
in sanitary condition as required by the health, sanitary and police ordinances
and regulations of any political subdivision having jurisdiction and to remove
all trash and debris which may be found in or around the Premises. Lessee
further agrees to keep the interior surfaces of the Premises, including, without
limitation, windows, floors, walls, doors, showcases and fixtures clean and neat
in appearance.
(d) If Lessee refuses or neglects to commence such repairs and/or
maintenance for which Lessee is responsible under this Article VI within a
thirty (30) day period (or as soon as practical and in no event later than five
(5) days, if the failure to initiate the repair threatens to cause further
damage to the Premises) after written notice from Lessor and thereafter
diligently prosecute the same to completion, then Lessor may (i) enter the
Premises (except in an emergency, upon at least 24 hours advanced written
notice) during Lessor's business hours and cause such repairs and/or maintenance
to be made and shall not be responsible to Lessee for any loss or damage
occasioned thereby and Lessee agrees that upon demand, it shall pay to Lessor

maintenance contract which shall be paid in advance, as Additional Rent, on a
monthly basis with Lessee's Base Rent payments.

additions, or improvements ("Alterations") shall be made to the Premises by
Lessee without the prior written consent of Lessor which Lessor will not
unreasonably withhold, provided, however, that Lessee may make Alterations which
do not affect the Building systems, exterior appearance, structural components
or structural integrity and which do not exceed collectively One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in cost within any twelve (12) month period, without
Lessor's prior written consent. As a condition to Lessor's obligation to
consider any request for consent hereunder, Lessee shall pay Lessor upon demand
for the reasonable costs and expenses of consultants, engineers, architects and
others for reviewing plans and specifications and for monitoring the
construction of any proposed Alterations. Lessor may require Lessee to remove

work. All Alterations shall be designed, constructed and installed at the sole
cost and expense of Lessee by California licensed architects, engineers, and
contractors approved by Lessor, in compliance with all applicable law, and in

for protection from such liens. At least seven (7) days before beginning
construction of any Alteration, Lessee shall give Lessor written notice of the
expected commencement date of that construction to permit Lessor to post and
record a notice of nonresponsibility. If any such lien attaches or Lessee
received notice of any such lien, Lessee shall cause the lien to be immediately
released and removed of record. Despite any other provision of this Lease, if
the lien is not released and removed within twenty (20) days after Lessor
delivers notice of the lien to Lessee, Lessor may immediately take all action
necessary to release and remove the lien, without any duty to investigate the
validity of it. All expenses (including reasonable attorney fees and the cost of
any bond) incurred by Lessor in connection with a lien incurred by Lessee or its
removal shall be considered Additional Rent under this Lease and be immediately
due and payable by Lessee. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Lessee from
obtaining secured financing for personal property at the Premises.

discretion (which amount is currently Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00));
provided that if such policy is a blanket policy that covers properties (other
than the Project) owned by Lessor, only that portion allocable to the Project
shall be payable hereunder. Lessee, in addition to the rent and other charges
provided herein, agrees to pay Lessee's Share of the premiums for all such
insurance in accordance with Article IV.
Section 7.04. Liability Insurance Carried by Lessee. At all times
during the Lease Term (and any holdover period) Lessee shall obtain and keep in
force a commercial general liability policy of insurance protecting Lessee,
Lessor and any Lender(s) whose names are provided to Lessee as Additional
Insureds against claims and liability for bodily injury, personal injury and
property damage based upon involving or arising out of ownership, use, occupancy
or maintenance of the Premises. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis
providing a single limit coverage in amount of not less than Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000) per occurrence with an Additional Lessors or Premises Endorsements
and containing an "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion Endorsement" for damage
caused by heat, smoke, fumes from a hostile fire. The limits of said insurance
required by this Lease as carried by Lessee shall not, however limit the
liability of Lessee nor relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder. All
insurance to be carried by Lessee shall be primary to and not contributory with,
any similar insurance carried by Lessor whose insurance shall be considered
excess insurance only.
Section 7.05. Lessee to Furnish Proof of Insurance. Lessee shall
furnish to Lessor prior to the Commencement Date, and at least thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration date of any policy, certificates indicating that the
property insurance and liability insurance required to be maintained by Lessee
is in full force and effect for the twelve (12) month period following such
expiration date; that Lessor has been named as an additional insured to the
extent of contractual liability assumed in Section 7.07. "Indemnification" and
Section 7.08. "Lessor as Party Defendant"; and that all such policies will not
be canceled unless thirty (30) days' prior written
-21-
notice of the proposed cancellation has been given to Lessor. The insurance
shall be with insurers approved by Lessor, provided, however, that such approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as Lessee's insurance carrier has a
Best's Insurance Guide rating not less than A+ VIII.
Section 7.06. Mutual Waiver of Claims and Subrogation Rights. Lessor
and Lessee hereby release and relieve the other, and waive their entire claim of
recovery for loss or damage covered by the insurance policies required to be
carried by Lessor and Lessee pursuant to this Article VII when such property
constitutes the Premises, or is in, on or about the Premises, whether or not
such loss or damage is due to the negligence of Lessor or Lessee, or their
respective agents, employees, guests, licensees, invitees, or contractors.
Lessee and Lessor waive all rights of subrogation against each other on behalf
of, and shall obtain a waiver of all subrogation rights from, all property and
casualty insurers referenced in this Article VII.
Section 7.07. Indemnification and Exculpation.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.07.(b), Lessee shall
indemnify and hold Lessor free and harmless from any and all liability, claims,
loss, damages, causes of action (whether in tort or contract, law or equity, or
otherwise), expenses, charges, assessments, fines, and penalties of any kind,
including without limitation, reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees and
costs, arising by reason of the death or injury of any person, including any
person who is an employee, agent, invitee, licensee, permittee, visitor, guest
or contractor of Lessee, or by reason of damage to or destruction of any
property, including property owned by Lessee or any person who is an employee,
agent, invitee, permitee, visitor, or contractor of Lessee, caused or allegedly
caused (1) while that person or property is in or about the Premises; (2) by
some condition of the Premises; (3) by some act or omission by Lessee or its
agent, employee, licensee, invitee, guest, visitor or contractor or any person
in, adjacent, on, or about the Premises with the permission, consent or
sufferance of Lessee; (4) by any matter connected to or arising out of Lessee's
occupation and use of the Premises, or any breach or default in timely
observance or performance of any obligation on Lessee's part to be observed or
performed under this Lease.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.07.(a) of this Lease,
Lessee's duty to indemnify and hold Lessor harmless shall not apply to any
liability, claims, loss or damages arising because of Lessor's active negligence
or willful acts of misconduct.
(c) Lessee hereby waives all claims against Lessor for damages to
goods, wares and merchandise and all other personal property in, on or about the
Premises and for injury or death to persons in, on or about the Premises from
any cause arising at any time to the fullest extent permitted by law. In no
event shall Lessor be liable (i) for lost profits or other consequential damages
arising from any cause or (ii) for any damage which is or could be covered by
the insurance Lessee is required to carry under this Lease.
Section 7.08. Lessor as Party Defendant. If by reason of an act or
omission of Lessee or any of its employees, agents, invitees, licensee,
visitors, guests or contractors, Lessor is made
-22-
a party defendant or a cross-defendant to any action involving the Premises or
this Lease, Lessee shall hold harmless and indemnify Lessor from all liability
or claims of liability, including all damages, attorney fees and costs of suit.
ARTICLE VIII
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
Section 8.01. Destruction of the Premises.
(a) In the event of a partial destruction of the Premises during the
Lease Term from any cause, Lessor, upon receipt of, and to the extent of,
insurance proceeds paid in connection with such casualty, shall forthwith repair
the same, provided the repairs can be made within a reasonable time under state,
federal, county and municipal applicable law, but such partial destruction shall
in no way annul or void this Lease, (except as provided in Section 8.01.(b)
below) provided that Lessee shall be entitled to a proportionate credit for rent
equal to the payment of rental income insurance received by Lessor; provided
that if Lessor failed to carry such insurance as required by Article VII hereof,
Lessee shall nonetheless be entitled to an abatement of rent to the same extent
as if Lessor had carried such insurance. Lessor shall use diligence in making
such repairs within a reasonable time period, acts of God, strikes and delays
beyond Lessor's control excepted, in which instance the time period shall be
extended accordingly, and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, with
the rent to be proportionately reduced as provided in this Section. If the
Premises are damaged by any peril within twelve (12) months prior to the last
day of the Lease Term (taking into account any previously exercised Option to
Extend) and, in the reasonable opinion of the Lessor's architect or construction
consultant, the restoration of the Premises cannot be substantially completed
within ninety (90) days after the date of such damage and such damage renders
unusable more than thirty percent (30%) of the Premises, Lessor may terminate
this Lease on sixty (60) days written notice to Lessee.
(b) If the Building is damaged or destroyed by any cause to the extent
of more than fifty percent (50%) of its total Rentable Area during the Lease
Term, Lessor shall notify Lessee within sixty (60) days after such damage or
destruction whether it will repair the same within nine months (9) (subject to
Force Majeure Delays) from the date of such notice and if Lessor states that it
will not repair within said nine months (9) (subject to Force Majeure Delays)
this Lease shall terminate ten (10) business days after Lessor gives its notice.
In the event of termination, Lessee shall pay to Lessor all insurance proceeds,
if any, received by Lessee as a result of the damage or destruction except to
the extent allocable to the unamortized (over the Lease Term) cost of (i) Tenant
Improvements paid for by Lessee over and above the Tenant Improvement Allowance
and (ii) other Alterations installed therein at Lessee's sole cost and expense.
Section 8.02. Waiver of Civil Code Remedies. Lessee hereby expressly
waives any rights to terminate this Lease upon damage or destruction to the
Premises, including without limitation any rights pursuant to the provisions of
Section 1932, Subdivisions 1 and 2 and
-23-
Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the California Civil Code, as amended from
time-to-time, and the provisions of any similar law hereinafter enacted.
Section 8.03. No Abatement of Rentals. The Rentals and other charges
due under this Lease shall not be reduced or abated by reason of any damage or
destruction to the Premises (except to the extent of proceeds received by Lessor
from the Rental Loss Insurance; provided that if Lessor failed to carry such
insurance as required by Article VII hereof, Lessee shall nonetheless be
entitled to an abatement of rent to the same extent as if Lessor had carried
such insurance), and Lessor shall be entitled to all proceeds of the insurance
maintained pursuant to Section 7.01. above during the period of rebuilding
pursuant to Section 8.01.(a) above, or if the Lease is terminated pursuant to
Section 8.01.(a) above. Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor, including,
without limitation, for compensation for inconvenience or loss of business,
profits or goodwill during any period of repair or reconstruction.
Section 8.04. Liability for Personal Property. In no event shall Lessor
have any liability for, nor shall it be required to repair or restore, any
injury or damage to Lessee's personal property or to any other personal property
or to Alterations in or upon the Premises by Lessee.
Section 8.05. Lessee's Right to Terminate. If the Premises are damaged
by any peril and Lessor does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not
entitled to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Article, then as soon as
reasonably practicable, Lessor shall furnish Lessee with the written opinion of
Lessor's architect or construction consultant as to when the restoration work
required of Lessor may be complete. Lessee shall have the option to terminate
this Lease in the event any of the following occurs, which option may be
exercised only by delivery to Lessor of a written notice of election to
terminate within seven days after Lessee receives from Lessor the estimate of
the time needed to complete such restoration (i) if the time estimated to
substantially complete the restoration or the actual restoration exceeds fifteen
(15) months from and after the date the architect's or construction consultant's
written opinion is delivered or (ii) if the damage occurred within twelve months
prior to the last day of the Lease Term and the time estimated to substantially
complete the restoration exceeds one hundred eighty (180) days from and after
the date such restoration is commenced.
ARTICLE IX
REAL PROPERTY TAXES
Section 9.01. Payment of Taxes. Lessee shall pay Lessee's Share of all
real property taxes, including any escaped or supplemental tax and any form of
real estate tax or assessment, general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, and
any license, fee, charge, excise or imposition ("real property taxes"), imposed,
assessed or levied on or with respect to the Project by any Federal, State,
County, City or other political subdivision or public authority having the
direct or indirect power to tax, including, without limitation, any improvement
district or any community facilities district, as against any legal or equitable
interest of Lessor in the Project or against the Project or any part thereof
applicable to the Project for a period of time included within the Lease Term as
well as any government or private cost sharing agreement assessments made for
the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities
normally provided by
-24-
government agencies. All such payments shall be made at least ten (10) days
prior to the delinquency date for such payment or ten (10) days after Lessee's
receipt of the tax xxxx, whichever is later. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lessee shall not be required to pay any net income taxes, franchise taxes, or
any succession or inheritance taxes of Lessor. If any anytime during the Lease
Term, the State of California or any political subdivision of the state,
including any county, city, city and county, public corporation, district, or
any other political entity or public corporation of this state, levies or
assesses against Lessor a tax, fee, charge or imposition, excise on rents under
the Lease, the square footage of the Project, the act of entering into this
Lease, or the occupancy of Lessee, or levies or assesses against Lessor any
other tax, fee, or excise, however described, including, without limitation, a
so-called value added, business license, transit, commuter, environmental or
energy tax fee, charge or excise or imposition related to the Project as a
direct substitution in whole or in part for, or in addition to, any real
property taxes on the Project, the same shall be included in real property
taxes. Real property taxes payable by Lessee hereunder shall not include real
property taxes applicable to other office/research and development buildings or
the legal parcels on which such buildings are located, but Lessee shall pay one
hundred percent (100%) of real property taxes applicable to the Property.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Lessee shall
have no obligation to pay for any improvement district for construction of the
presently approved Project or any community facilities district except for such
a district established for purposes of constructing the Seaport Boulevard
improvements and other improvements as required in the Development Agreement
("Community Facility District Bond"). The maximum amount of the Community
Facility District Bond shall be $12,000,000; which amount shall be amortized
over not less than fifteen (15) years. Lessee shall pay only Lessee's Share of
the yearly amortizing amount. Lessee shall have no obligation to pay for the
initial construction of any other off-site improvements, improvements in the
Common Areas or infrastructure at the Project contemplated as part of the
initial development of the Project, regardless of whether characterized as an
assessment, tax, bond or operating expense.
Section 9.02. Pro Ration for Partial Years. If any such taxes paid by
Lessee shall cover any period prior to the Commencement Date or after the
Expiration Date of the Lease Term, Lessee's share of such taxes shall be
equitably prorated to cover only the period of time within the tax fiscal year
during which this Lease shall be in effect, and Lessor shall reimburse Lessee to
any extent required. If Lessee shall fail to pay any such taxes, Lessor shall
have the right to pay the same in which case Lessee shall repay such amount to
Lessor within ten (10) days after written demand, together with interest at the
Agreed Rate.
Section 9.03. Personal Property Taxes.
(a) Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes imposed, assessed
against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property of Lessee contained in the Premises or elsewhere. When
possible, Lessee shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all
other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the real
property of Lessor.
-25-
(b) If any of Lessee's said personal property shall be assessed with
Lessor's real property, Lessee shall pay Lessor the taxes attributable to Lessee
within ten (10) days after receipt of a written statement setting forth the
taxes applicable to Lessee's property.
(c) If Lessee shall fail to pay any such taxes, Lessor shall have the
right to pay the same, in which case Lessee shall repay such amount to Lessor
with Lessee's next rent installment together with interest at the Agreed Rate.
ARTICLE X
UTILITIES
Section 10.01. Lessee to Pay. Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency and
throughout the Lease Term, all charges for water, gas, heating, cooling, sewer,
telephone, electricity, garbage, air conditioning and ventilation, janitorial
service, landscaping and all other materials and utilities supplied to the
Premises. The disruption, failure, lack or shortage of any service or utility
due to any cause whatsoever shall not affect any obligation of Lessee hereunder,
and Lessor shall faithfully keep and observe all the terms, conditions and
covenants of this Lease and pay all rent due hereunder, all without diminution,
credit or deduction.
ARTICLE XI
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 11.01. Lessor's Consent Required. Except as provided in Section
11.02, Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer,
mortgage, sublet, license or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of
Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises or any part thereof, without
Lessor's prior written consent which Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold or
delay. Lessor shall respond in writing to Lessee's request for consent hereunder
in a timely manner and any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage,
encumbrance, subletting or licensing without such consent shall be void, and
shall constitute a breach of this Lease. By way of example, but not limitation,
reasonable grounds for denying consent include: (i) poor credit history or
insufficient financial strength of transferee, (ii) transferee's intended use of
the Premises is inconsistent with the permitted use or will materially and
adversely affect Lessor's interest. Lessee shall reimburse Lessor upon demand
for Lessor's reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees, architect
fees and engineering fees) involved in renewing any request for consent whether
or not consent is granted.
Section 11.02. Lessee Affiliates. Lessee may assign or sublet the
Premises, or any portion thereof, to any corporation which controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with Lessee, or to any corporation
resulting from the merger or consolidation with Lessee, or to any person or
entity which acquires all, or substantially all of the assets of Lessee as a
going concern of the business that is being conducted on the Premises, provided
that said assignee or sublessee assumes, in full, the obligations of Lessee
under this Lease and provided further that the use to which the Premises will be
put does not materially change. Any such assignment shall not, in any way,
affect or limit the liability of Lessee under the terms of this Lease.
-26-
Section 11.03. No Release of Lessee. Regardless of Lessor's consent, no
subletting or assignment shall release Lessee of Lessee's obligation or alter
the primary liability of Lessee to pay the rent and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by Lessee hereunder. The acceptance of rent by
Lessor from any other person shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent
assignment or subletting. In the event of default by any assignee of Lessee or
any successor of Lessee, in the performance of any of the terms hereof, Lessor
may proceed directly against Lessee without the necessity of exhausting remedies
against said assignee.
Section 11.04. Excess Rent. In the event Lessor shall consent to a
sublease or an assignment, Lessee shall pay to Lessor with its regularly
scheduled Base Rent payments, fifty percent (50%) of all sums and the fair
market value of all consideration collected or received by Lessee from a
sublessee or assignee which are in excess of the Base Rent and Additional Rent
due and payable with respect to the subject space pursuant to Article IV for the
time period encompassed by the sublease or assignment term, after first
deducting (i) reasonable leasing commissions paid by Lessee with respect to such
sublease or assignment, and (ii) that portion of the cost of Tenant Improvements
paid by Lessee (up to $27.50 per square foot) which remains unamortized (using
an amortization schedule of the first 36 months of the Lease Term) during any
portion of the sublease or assignment term.
Section 11.05. No Impairment of Security. Lessee's written request to
Lessor for consent to an assignment or subletting or other form of transfer
shall be accompanied by (a) the name and legal composition of the proposed
transferee; (b) the nature of the proposed transferee's business to be carried
on in the Premises; (c) the terms and provisions of the proposed transfer
agreement; and (d) such financial and other reasonable information as Lessor may
request concerning the proposed transferee.
Section 11.06. Lessor's Recapture Rights.
(a) Lessor's Recapture Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Article 11, in the event that Lessee proposes to sublease or assign or
otherwise transfer any interest in this Lease or the Premises or any part
thereof affecting (collectively with all other such subleases, assignments, or
transfers then in effect) more than sixty percent (60%) of the square footage of
the Rentable Area of the Building ("Recapture Space") for more than half of the
then remaining Lease Term, then Lessor shall have the option to recapture the
Recapture Space by written notice to Lessee ("Recapture Notice") given within
ten (10) business days after Lessor receives any notice of such proposed
assignment or sublease or other transfer ("Transfer Notice"). A timely Recapture
Notice terminates this Lease for the Recapture Space, effective as of the date
specified in the Transfer Notice. If Lessor declines or fails timely to deliver
a Recapture Notice, Lessor shall have no further right under this Section 11.06
to the Recapture Space unless it becomes available again after transfer by
Lessee.
-27-
(b) Consequences of Recapture. To determine the new Base Rent under
this Lease if Lessor recaptures the Recapture Space, the then current Base Rent
(immediately before Lessor's recapture) under the Lease shall be multiplied by a
fraction, numerator of which is the square feet of the Rentable Area retained by
Lessee after Lessor's recapture and the denominator of which is the total square
feet of the Rentable Area before Lessor's recapture. The Additional Rent, to the
extent that it is calculated on the basis of the square feet within the
Building, shall be reduced to reflect Lessee's proportionate share based on the
square feet of the Building retained by Lessee after Lessor's recapture. This
Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect. Either
party may require written confirmation of the amendments to this Lease
necessitated by Lessor's recapture of the Recapture Space. If Lessor recaptures
the Recapture Space, Lessor shall, at Lessor's sole expense, construct, paint,
and furnish any partitions required to segregate the Recapture Space from the
remaining Premises retained by Lessee.
ARTICLE XII
DEFAULTS; REMEDIES
Section 12.01. Defaults. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by
Lessee:
(a) The abandonment of the Premises by Lessee or the commission of
waste at the Premises or the making of an assignment or subletting in violation
of Article XI, provided however, abandonment shall be considered to not occur if
the Premises are maintained and occupied to the extent necessary to maintain the
insurance on each and every portion of the Premises;
(b) The failure by Lessee to make any payment of rent or any other
payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder, as and when due, if such
failure continues for a period of five (5) business days after written notice
thereof from Lessor to Lessee. In the event that Lessor serves Lessee with a
Notice to Pay Rent or Quit in the form required by applicable Unlawful Detainer
statutes such Notice shall constitute the notice required by this paragraph,
provided that the cure period stated in the Notice shall be five (5) business
days rather than the statutory three (3) days;
(c) Lessee's failure to provide (i) any instrument or assurance as
required by Section 7.05 or (ii) estoppel certificate as required by Section
15.01 or (iii) any document subordinating this Lease to a Lender's deed of
trust, if any such failure continues for five (5) business days after written
notice of the failure. In the event Lessor serves Lessee with a Notice to
Perform Covenant or Quit in the form required by applicable Unlawful Detainer
Statutes, such Notice shall constitute the notice required by this paragraph,
provided that the cure period stated in the Notice shall be five (5) days rather
than the statutory three (3) days;
(d) The failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants,
conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee,
other than described in paragraph (a) (b) or (c) above, if such failure
continues for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Lessor
to Lessee; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessee's default is
-28-
such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then
Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default if Lessee commences such cure within
said ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion;
(e) (i) The making by Lessee of any general arrangement or assignment
for the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by Lessee of a voluntary petition
in bankruptcy under Title 11 U.S.C. or the filing of an involuntary petition
against Lessee which remains uncontested for a period of sixty days; (iii) the
appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of
Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this Lease;
or (iv) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all
of Lessee's assets located at the Premises or of Lessee's interest in this
Lease, provided, however, in the event that any provisions of this Section
12.01(e) is contrary to any applicable law, such provision shall be of no force
or effect;
(f) The discovery by Lessor that any financial statement given to
Lessor by Lessee, or any guarantor of Lessee's obligations hereunder, was
materially false.
(g) The occurrence of a material default and breach by Lessee under any
other Lease between Lessee and Lessor (or any affiliate of Lessor) for Premises
in Pacific Shores Center.
Section 12.02. Remedies. In the event of any such material default and
breach by Lessee, Lessor may at any time thereafter, and without limiting Lessor
in the exercise of any right or remedy which Lessor may have by reason of such
default and breach:
(a) Terminate Lessee's right to possession of the Premises by any
lawful means including by way of unlawful detainer (and without any further
notice if a notice in compliance with the unlawful detainer statutes and in
compliance with paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Section 12.01 above has already
been given), in which case this Lease shall terminate and Lessee shall
immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor. In such event Lessor
shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages incurred by Lessor by
reason of Lessee's default including, but not limited to, (i) the cost of
recovering possession of the Premises including reasonable attorney's fees
related thereto; (ii) the worth at the time of the award of any unpaid rent that
had been earned at the time of the termination, to be computed by allowing
interest at the Agreed Rate but in no case greater than the maximum amount of
interest permitted by law, (iii) the worth at the time at the time of the award
of the amount by which the unpaid rent that would have been earned between the
time of the termination and the time of the award exceeds the amount of unpaid
rent that Lessee proves could reasonably have been avoided, to be computed by
allowing interest at the Agreed Rate but in no case greater than the maximum
amount of interest permitted by law, (iv) the worth at the time of the award of
the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the
time of the award exceeds the amount of unpaid rent that Lessee proves could
reasonably have been avoided, to be computed by discounting that amount at the
discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the
award plus one per cent (1%), (v) any other amount necessary to compensate
Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform
obligations under this Lease, including brokerage commissions and advertising
expenses, expenses of remodeling
-29-
the Premises for a new tenant (whether for the same or a different use), and any
special concessions made to obtain a new tenant, and (vi) any other amounts, in
addition to or in lieu of those listed above, that may be permitted by
applicable law.
(b) Maintain Lessee's right to possession as provided in Civil Code
Section 1951.4 in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not
Lessee shall have abandoned the Premises. In such event Lessor shall be entitled
to enforce all of Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the
right to recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder.
(c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Lessor under
the laws or judicial decisions of the state of California. Unpaid amounts of
rent and other unpaid monetary obligations of Lessee under the terms of this
Lease shall bear interest from the date due at the Agreed Rate.
Section 12.03. Default by Lessor. Lessor shall not be in default under
this Lease unless Lessor fails to perform obligations required of Lessor within
a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written
notice by Lessee to Lessor and to the holder of any first mortgage or deed of
trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been
furnished to Lessee in writing, specifying that Lessor has failed to perform
such obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Lessor's obligation is
such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance then Lessor
shall not be in default if Lessor commences performance within such thirty day
period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In the event
Lessor does not commence performance within the thirty (30) day period provided
herein, Lessee may perform such obligation and will be reimbursed for its
expenses by Lessor together with interest thereon at the Agreed Rate. Lessee
waives any right to terminate this Lease or to vacate the Premises on Lessor's
default under this Lease. Lessee's sole remedy on Lessor's default is an action
for damages or injunctive or declaratory relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing herein shall be deemed applicable in the event of Lessor's delay in
delivery of the Premises. In that situation, all rights and remedies shall be
determined under Section 3.01 above.
Section 12.04. Late Charges. Lessee hereby acknowledges that late
payment by Lessee to Lessor of rent and other sums due hereunder will cause
Lessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which
will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not
limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be
imposed on Lessor by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the
Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due from
Lessee shall not be received by Lessor or Lessor's designated agent within five
(5) days after such amount is due and owing, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a late
charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby
agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the
costs Lessor will incur by reason of late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of such
late charge by Lessor shall in no event constitute a waiver of Lessee's default
with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Lessor from exercising any of
the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In the event that a late charge
is payable hereunder, whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive
installments of rent, then rent shall automatically become due and payable
quarterly in advance,
-30-
rather than monthly, notwithstanding Section 4.01 or any other provision of this
Lease to the contrary.
ARTICLE XIII
CONDEMNATION OF PREMISES.
Section 13.01. Total Condemnation. If the entire Premises, whether by
exercise of governmental power or the sale or transfer by Lessor to any
condemnor under threat of condemnation or while proceedings for condemnation are
pending, at any time during the Lease Term, shall be taken by condemnation such
that there does not remain a portion suitable for occupation, this Lease shall
then terminate as of the date transfer of possession is required. Upon such
condemnation, all rent shall be paid up to the date transfer of possession is
required, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor or the award for the
value of the unexpired portion of this Lease Term.
Section 13.02. Partial Condemnation. If any portion of the Premises is
taken by condemnation during the Lease Term, whether by exercise of governmental
power or the sale for transfer by Lessor to an condemnor under threat of
condemnation or while proceedings for condemnation are pending, this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect except that in the event a partial taking leaves
the Premises unfit for the conduct of the business of Lessee, then Lessee shall
have the right to terminate this Lease effective upon the date transfer of
possession is required. Moreover, Lessor shall have the right to terminate this
Lease effective on the date transfer of possession is required if more than
thirty-three percent (33%) of the total square footage of the Premises is taken
by condemnation. Lessee and Lessor may elect to exercise their respective rights
to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section by serving written notice to
the other within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of condemnation. All
rent shall be paid up to the date of termination, and Lessee shall have no claim
against Lessor for the value of any unexpired portion of the Lease Term. If this
Lease shall not be canceled, the rent after such partial taking shall be that
percentage of the adjusted base rent specified herein, equal to the percentage
which the square footage of the untaken part of the Premises, immediately after
the taking, bears to the square footage of the entire Premises immediately
before the taking. If Lessee's continued use of the Premises requires
alterations and repair by reason of a partial taking, all such alterations and
repair shall be made by Lessee at Lessee's expense. Lessee waives all rights it
may have under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 or otherwise,
to terminate this Lease based on partial condemnation.
Section 13.03. Award to Lessee. In the event of any condemnation,
whether total or partial, Lessee shall have the right to claim and recover from
the condemning authority such compensation as may be separately awarded or
recoverable by Lessee for loss of its business fixtures, moving expenses or
equipment belonging to Lessee immediately prior to the condemnation. The balance
of any condemnation award shall belong to Lessor (including, without limitation,
any amount attributable to any excess of the market value of the Premises for
the remainder of the Lease Term over the then present value of the rent payable
for the remainder of the Lease Term) and Lessee shall have no further right to
recover from Lessor or the condemning authority for any claims arising out of
such taking.

used herein shall mean only the owner or owners at the time in question of the
fee title of the Premises. In the event of any transfer of such title or

be performed, except as to any claim Lessee may have as to any funds in the
hands of Lessor or the then grantor at the time of such transfer, including

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 17.01. Severability. The invalidity of any provision of this
Lease as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect
the validity of any other provision hereof.
Section 17.02. Agreed Rate Interest on Past-Due Obligations. Except as
expressly herein provided, any amount due to either party not paid when due
shall bear interest at the Bank of America prime rate plus one percent (1%)
("Agreed Rate"). Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default
by Lessee under this Lease. Despite any other provision of this Lease, the total
liability for interest payments shall not exceed the limits, if any, imposed by
the usury laws of the State of California. Any interest paid in excess of those
limits shall be refunded to the payor by application of the amount of excess
interest paid against any sums outstanding in any order that payee requires. If
the amount of excess interest paid exceeds the sums outstanding, the portion
exceeding those sums shall be refunded in cash to the payor by the payee. To
ascertain whether any interest payable exceeds the limits imposed, any
nonprincipal payment (including late charges) shall be considered to the extent
permitted by law to be an expense or a fee, premium, or penalty rather than
interest.
Section 17.03. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the
performance of all obligations under this Lease.
Section 17.04. Additional Rent. Any monetary obligations of Lessee to
Lessor under the terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be Additional Rent and
Lessor shall have all the rights and remedies for the nonpayment of same as it
would have for nonpayment of Base Rent, except that the one year requirement of
Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161(2) shall apply only to scheduled
installments of Base Rent and not to any Additional Rent. All references to
"rent" (except specific references to either Base Rent or Additional Rent) shall
mean Base Rent and Additional Rent.

Lease, Lessee hereby acknowledges that neither the Lessor nor any employees or
agents of the Lessor has made any oral or written warranties or representations
to Lessee relative to the condition or use by Lessee of said Premises and Lessee
acknowledges that Lessee assumes all responsibility regarding the Occupational
Safety Health Act, the legal use and adaptability of the Premises and the

Lessor hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted to such party or parties at
such addresses as Lessor may from time to time hereafter designate by notice to
Lessee, but delay or failure of delivery to such person shall not affect the
validity of the delivery to Lessor or Lessee.

addressed notice that is refused, unclaimed, or undeliverable because of an act
or omission of the party to be notified shall be considered to be effective as
of the first date that the notice was refused,
-34-
unclaimed, or considered undeliverable by the postal authorities, messenger, or
overnight delivery service.
Section 17.07. Waivers. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be
deemed a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach of the

subsequent act. The acceptance of rent hereunder by Lessor shall not be a waiver

persons and property therefrom. If Lessee shall fail to remove any personal
property which it is entitled or obligated to remove from the Premises upon the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, for any cause whatsoever,

Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor on demand any and all expenses incurred in such
removal and in making the Premises free from all dirt, litter, debris and
obstruction, including all storage and insurance charges. If the Premises are
not surrendered at the end of the Lease Term, Lessee shall indemnify Lessor
against loss or liability resulting from delay by Lessee in so surrendering the
Premises, including, without limitation, actual damages for lost rent and with
respect to any claims of a successor occupant.
(b) If Lessee, with Lessor's prior written consent, remains in
possession of the Premises after expiration of the Lease Term and if Lessor and
Lessee have not executed an express written agreement as to such holding over,
then such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a monthly Base

is and shall be, at all times, subject and subordinate to the lien of any
mortgage or other encumbrances which Lessor may create against the Premises
including all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof provided, however,

sale of the Premises under such mortgage, so long as Lessee timely performs all

hereunder, this Lease and Lessee's possession and rights hereunder shall not be
disturbed by the mortgagee or anyone claiming under or through such mortgagee.

such other actions, which are reasonably necessary or appropriate to accomplish
such granting recordation and subordination of the Lease to same, upon request
