from Landlord the demised premises, including the building and other

----------
provisions of this Lease for the demised term of approximately eighteen (18)
months, commencing on October 1, 2001, and ending on March 31, 2003.
ARTICLE 2 - Rent
Section 2.1. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord without
-----------
set-off, recoupment, deduction or demand of any nature whatsoever, base rent for
each year during the demised term in the amount of Five Hundred Eighty Eight
Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Two Dollars ($588,672.00) per annum, payable in
twelve (12) equal monthly installments of Forty Nine Thousand Fifty Six Dollars
($49,056.00). Base rent shall be paid monthly in advance on the first (1st) day
of each calendar month.
Section 2.2. For the purpose of this Lease, a year shall be twelve (12)
-----------
calendar months, commencing with the first day of the first full calendar month
of the demised term and the succeeding anniversaries thereof. For any period
prior to the commencement of the first year or subsequent to the end of the last
year of the demised term, rent shall be prorated on the basis of the rental rate
then payable.
Section 2.3. All sums payable and all statements deliverable to
-----------
Landlord by Tenant under this Lease shall be paid and delivered at 00 Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000, or at such other place as Landlord may
from time to time direct by notice to Tenant and all such sums shall be paid in
lawful money of the United States.
Section 2.4. Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the following:
-----------
(A) Upon commencement of the demised term, Forty Nine Thousand Fifty

(B) Upon execution of this Lease, Forty Nine Thousand Fifty Six Dollars
($49,056.00) which shall be held as a Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of
Section 19.9.
------------
Section 2.5. In addition to base rent under Section 2.1., all other
----------- -----------
payments to be made under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord shall be deemed to be
and shall become additional rent hereunder, whether or not the same to be
designated as such, and shall be included in the term "rent" wherever used in
this Lease; and, unless another time shall be expressly provided for the payment
thereof, all rent and additional rent shall be due and payable together with the
next succeeding installment of base rent; and Landlord shall have the same
remedies for failure to pay the same as for a nonpayment of base rent.
Section 2.6. Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord that is not paid
-----------
when due shall bear interest at the highest rate then permitted to be charged on
late payments under leases under California law; provided, however, the payment
of any such interest shall not
-1-
excuse or cure the default upon which such interest accrued. Tenant acknowledges
and agrees that payment of such interest on late payments is reasonable
compensation to Landlord for the additional costs incurred by Landlord caused by
such late payment, including, but not limited to, collection and administration
expenses and the loss of the use of the money that was late in payment.
ARTICLE 3 - Landlord's Work - Tenant's Work
Section 3.1. Except as provided in Section 3.2. below, in connection
-----------
with the commencement of this Lease, Landlord shall not be required to perform
any work in the demised premises; and Tenant accepts the demised premises in an
"as is" condition.
Section 3.2. Landlord agrees to provide and install new HVAC units and
-----------
the necessary duct distribution system ("HVAC work") in the manufacturing
portion of the building on the demised premises. Except as provided herein, such
HVAC work shall be completed before the commencement date of the demised term.
In the event the City of Menlo Park or other governmental agency requires
Landlord to apply for a conditional use permit in order to obtain building
permit(s) for such HVAC work, then Landlord may, at Landlord's sole and
unfettered discretion, choose not to perform such HVAC work in the building on
the demised premises, and such failure to so provide the HVAC work shall not be
deemed a default by Landlord of any terms of this Lease. Landlord agrees to use
reasonable business efforts to not interfere with Tenant's manufacturing
operations during the performance of any HVAC work, and such work may be
performed during business hours so long as such work otherwise complies with
this sentence and this Lease.
Any work or improvements which Tenant elects to make in the demised
premises shall be performed by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Article 12
below.
ARTICLE 4 - Streets
Section 4.1. Tenant agrees to encourage employees, and to direct

-----------
installation of water, gas, sanitary sewers and electrical services to the
demised premises and made all necessary connections thereof to the building.

and shall pay for the water, gas and/or electricity used on the demised premises
and sewer use fees and charges whether ad valorum or not and any so called
"sewer connection charges" based on increased wastewater discharge from the
demised premises exclusively. Tenant shall maintain such connections of
utilities to the building to the extent they serve the demised premises
exclusively.
Section 5.2. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the failure of
-----------
any utility services except to the extent such failure is due to Landlord's
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
-2-
ARTICLE 6 - Assignment - Change of Ownership
Section 6.1.
-----------
A. Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant shall not, by operation
of law or otherwise, transfer, assign, sublet, enter into license or concession
agreements, enter into a change of ownership, mortgage or hypothecate this Lease
or the Tenant's interest in and to the demised premises without first procuring
the written consent of Landlord. Any attempted transfer, assignment, subletting,
license or concession agreement, change of ownership, mortgage or hypothecation
without Landlord's written consent shall be void and confer no rights upon any
third person. Landlord's consent to a proposed assignment, sublease or change of
ownership shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that the proposed assignee
or sublessee or post-change-of-ownership Tenant shall have: (i) a net worth, at
the time of the assignment, sublease or change ownership, determined in
accordance with good accounting principles, equal to or in excess of the net
worth of Tenant at the date of this Lease; (ii) been active in its current
business for a minimum of three (3) years immediately prior to the assignment,
sublease or change of ownership; or be assuming substantially all of the
business of Tenant; and (iii) a good reputation in the business community. In
addition, Tenant shall give Landlord not less than thirty (30) days notice prior
to the effective date of any such assignment or sublease, and, so long as same
is not to an affiliate of Tenant or to a purchaser of substantially all of the
business of Tenant, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease with
respect to the space to be assigned or subleased by notice to Tenant given
within twenty (20) days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice. Nothing herein
contained shall relieve Tenant from its covenants and obligations for the
demised term. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for up to Five Hundred Dollars
($500.00) of Landlord's reasonable outside attorneys' fees incurred in
conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested
transfer, assignment, subletting, licensing or concession agreement, change of
ownership, mortgage or hypothecation of this Lease or Tenant's interest in and
to the demised premises. If Landlord consents to any assignment or sublease
pursuant to this Article, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as additional rent:
(a) in the case of each and every assignment, an amount equal to ALL
monies, property, and other consideration of every kind whatsoever paid
or payable to Tenant by the assignee for such assignment and for all
property of Tenant transferred to the assignee as part of the
assignment (including, but not limited to, any fixtures, other
leasehold improvements, furniture, equipment, and furnishings so
included as consideration); and
(b) in the case of each and every sublease, ALL rent, and/or other
monies, property, and consideration of every kind whatsoever paid or
payable to Tenant by the subtenant under the sublease, LESS all base
rent and additional rent under this Lease accruing during the term of
the sublease in respect of the subleased space (as reasonably
determined by Landlord, taking into account the useable area of the
premises demised under the sublease).
B. Each transfer, assignment, subletting, license, concession
agreement, change of ownership, mortgage and hypothecation to which there has
been consent shall be by an instrument in writing in form reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, and shall be executed by the transferor, assignor,
sublessor, licensor, concessionaire, hypothecator or mortgagor and the
transferee, assignee, sublessee, licensee, concessionaire or mortgagee in each
instance, as the case may be; and each transferee, assignee, sublessee,
licensee, concessionaire or mortgagee shall agree in writing for the benefit of
Landlord herein to
-3-
assume, to be bound by, and to perform the terms, covenants and conditions of
this Lease to be done, kept and performed by Tenant, relating to the portion of
the demised premises affected, including the payment of all amounts due or to
become due under this Lease directly to Landlord. One (1) executed copy of such
written instrument shall be delivered to Landlord. Failure to first obtain in
writing Landlord's consent or failure to comply with the provisions of this
Article shall operate to prevent any such transfer, assignment, subletting,
license, concession agreement, mortgage, or hypothecation from becoming
effective.
C. If Tenant hereunder is a corporation which, under the then current
laws of the State of California, is not deemed a public corporation, or is an
unincorporated association or partnership, the transfer, assignment or
hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation, association or
partnership in the aggregate in excess of fifty percent (50%) shall be deemed a
change of ownership within the meaning and provisions of this Section 6.1.
-----------
D. Landlord's rights to assign this Lease are and shall remain
unqualified. Upon any sale of the demised premises and provided the purchaser
assumes all obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall thereupon be entirely
released of all obligations of Landlord hereunder and shall not be subject to
any liability resulting from any act or omission or event occurring after such
sale.
E. The consent of Landlord to any transfer, assignment, sublease,
license or concession agreement, change of ownership, mortgage or hypothecation
of this Lease is not and shall not operate as a consent to any future or further
transfer, assignment, sublease, license or concession agreement, change of
ownership, mortgage or hypothecation, and Landlord specifically reserves the
right to refuse to grant any such consents except as otherwise provided in this
Section 6.1.
-----------

-----------
laws, regulations, rules and orders, regardless of when they become or became
effective, including, without limitation, those relating to health, safety,
noise, environmental protection, waste disposal, and water and air quality (but
this Section 7.4 shall not be construed to require Tenant to make structural

changes in or capital improvements to the demised premises unless the same are
made necessary by act or work performed by or for Tenant or the nature of

satisfaction of Landlord and any governmental body having jurisdiction

contractors, licensees, agents, servants or employees.
Tenant shall pay all amounts due Landlord under this section, as
additional rent, within ten (10) days after any such amounts become due.
Tenant shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the termination of the

Section 9.2. Tenant agrees to maintain in full force during the demised
-----------
term a policy of public liability and property damage insurance under which
Landlord (and such other persons, firms or corporations as are designated by

thereof to Landlord as is provided above within five (5) business days after
written notice of such failure, Landlord may, but shall not be required to,
obtain any such insurance; and if Landlord does obtain any such insurance,
Tenant shall, on demand, reimburse Landlord for the premium for any such
insurance.
Section 9.3. Tenant agrees to use and occupy the demised premises, the
-----------
Parking and Accommodation Areas and to use all other portions of the Business
Park (which it is herein given the right to use) at its own risk and, except for

employees, from all claims and demands of every kind resulting from any
accident, damage or injury occurring therein. Landlord shall have no
responsibility or liability for any loss of or damage to fixtures or other
personal property of Tenant. The provisions of this Section shall apply during

ARTICLE 10 - Fire Insurance and Casualty
Section 10.1. If the building on the demised premises should be damaged
------------
or destroyed during the demised term by any casualty insurable under Landlord's
standard fire and extended coverage insurance policies, Landlord shall (except
as hereinafter provided) repair and/or rebuild the same to substantially the
condition in which the same existed immediately prior to such damage or
destruction. Landlord's obligation under this Section shall in no event exceed
either (A) the scope of the work done by Landlord in the original construction
of such building, or (B) the proceeds of any such insurance policy if Landlord
keeps the building and the demised premises insured against loss or damage by
such fire and extended coverage insurance to the extent of at least eighty
percent (80%) of the insurable value of the building if reasonably obtainable
from responsible insurance companies licensed to do business in California,
unless Landlord nevertheless elects to repair and/or rebuild the building and
the demised premises. Tenant shall in the event of any such damage or
destruction, unless this Lease shall be terminated as hereinafter provided, be
responsible for the cost of replacing or repairing all exterior signs, trade
fixtures, equipment, display cases and other installations whether or not
originally installed by the Tenant. Landlord shall have no interest in the
proceeds of any insurance carried by Tenant on Tenant's interest in this Lease
and Tenant shall have no interest in the proceeds of any insurance carried by
Landlord.
Section 10.2. Unless and until this Lease is terminated as provided
------------
herein, Tenant's base rent (and any other rent allocated based on Tenant's
square footage in the building) shall be abated proportionately during any
period in which, by reason of any such damage or destruction (including any
damage or destruction referred to in Section 10.3 and Section 10.7 hereinafter
------------ ------------
set forth), there is substantial interference with the operation of the business
of Tenant in the demised premises to the extent that Tenant is required to
discontinue all or a substantial portion of its business in the demised
premises. Such abatement shall continue for the period commencing with such
destruction or damage and ending with the substantial completion by the Landlord
of such work or repair and/or
-7-
reconstruction as Landlord is obligated to do.
Section 10.3. If the building on the demised premises should be damaged
------------
or destroyed to the extent of thirty three percent (33%) or more of the then
monetary value thereof by an event described in Section 10.1., then Landlord may
------------
terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days of such
damage or destruction.
If the demised premises should be damaged or destroyed and the time
needed to repair and/or rebuild the same is reasonably estimated by Landlord to
exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by
written notice to Landlord as follows:
Landlord shall notify Tenant within sixty (60) days following any
damage to or destruction of the demised premises of the length of time Landlord
reasonably estimates to be necessary for repair or restoration of the demised
premises. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease within fifteen
(15) business days following receipt of such notice if restoration or repair of
the demised premises is so estimated by Landlord to take more than one hundred
eighty (180) days from the date of damage.
If Landlord or Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease then
Landlord shall repair and/or rebuild the same as provided in Section 10.1. If
------------
such damage or destruction occurs and this Lease is not so terminated, this
Lease shall remain in full force and effect and the parties waive the provisions
of any law to the contrary. The Landlord's obligation under this Section shall
in no event exceed the scope of the work to be done by the Landlord in the
original construction of said building and the demised premises.
Section 10.4. Tenant agrees to comply with all of the applicable
------------
regulations and rules of the Insurance Service Office or any similar body and
will not do, suffer, or permit an act to be done in or about the demised
premises which will increase any insurance rate with respect thereto.
Section 10.5. Tenant agrees, in addition to any rent provided for
------------
herein, to pay to the Landlord the cost of the fire and extended coverage
insurance policy carried by Landlord on the demised premises during the entire
demised term or any renewal or extension thereof. This Section expressly permits
the Landlord to carry standard fire and extended coverage policies to the extent
of one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement value.
Section 10.6. During the demised term, Tenant shall carry, at its
------------
expense, insurance against loss and damage by fire with an "All Risk"
endorsement for the full insurable value of Tenant's merchandise, trade
fixtures, furnishings, operating equipment and personal property, including wall
coverings, carpeting and drapes. Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee (to the
extent Tenant has been notified of such mortgagee by Landlord in writing) shall
be named as additional insureds under said policy, which shall be non-cancelable
with respect to Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee without twenty (20) (or, in
the case of non-payment of premiums, ten (10)) days' prior written notice. A
certificate evidencing such coverage shall be delivered to Landlord prior to
commencement of the demised term and thereafter thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of the term of such policy. Such insurance shall be written as a
primary policy, not contributing with and not in excess of coverage Landlord may
carry. If Tenant shall not comply with its covenants to maintain said insurance,
or if Tenant fails to provide a certificate thereof to Landlord as provided
above within five (5) business days after written notice of such failure,
Landlord may, but shall not be required to, obtain any such insurance, and if
Landlord does obtain any such insurance, Tenant shall, on demand, reimburse
Landlord for the premium for any such insurance.
Section 10.7. In the event the building on the demised premises shall
------------
be damaged as a result of any flood, earthquake, act of war, nuclear reaction,
nuclear radiation or radioactive contamination, or from any other casualty not
covered by Landlord's fire and
-8-
extended coverage insurance, to any extent whatsoever, Landlord may within
ninety (90) days following the date of such damage, commence repair,
reconstruction or restoration of the building and prosecute the same diligently
to completion, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect, or within said ninety (90) day period elect not to so repair,
reconstruct or restore the building, in which event this Lease shall cease and
terminate. In either such event Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of its
intention within said ninety (90) day period.
If the demised premises should be damaged by an event described in
Section 10.7 and the time needed to repair and/or rebuild the same is reasonably
------------
estimated by Landlord to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, then Tenant may
terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord as follows:
Landlord shall notify Tenant within sixty (60) days following any
damage to or destruction of the demised premises of the length of time Landlord
reasonably estimates to be necessary for repair or restoration of the demised
premises. Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease within fifteen (15)
business days following receipt of such notice if restoration or repair of the
demised premises is so estimated by Landlord to take more than one hundred
eighty (180) days from the date of damage.
Section 10.8. Upon any termination of this Lease under the provisions
------------
of this Article 10, the rent shall be adjusted as of the date of such
----------
termination and the parties shall be released without further obligation to the
other party upon the surrender of possession of the demised premises to
Landlord, except for items that have been theretofore accrued and are then
unpaid, and except for obligations that are designated as surviving such
termination.

------------ ----------
in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord may maintain any insurance on the
demised premises that Landlord deems necessary or advisable, including, but not
limited to, any rental insurance, owner's protective liability insurance or any
insurance required by any mortgagee of Landlord; and Landlord may include the

------------
structural defects of the building on the demised premises throughout the life

fissures in walls or floors, nor the requirement of painting or caulking.
Section 11.2. Tenant agrees during the demised term or any extension
------------
thereof to maintain the interior of the building on the demised premises, and
every part thereof, except as to work to be performed by Landlord under Sections
--------
11.1. and 11.3. Tenant further agrees to clean, inside and out, all of the glass
--------------
on the exterior of the building. If Tenant should fail to faithfully perform its
maintenance obligations hereunder then Landlord shall, after giving Tenant at

of such costs and expenses.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, repair
and/or maintenance costs included in this Section 11.3. are exclusive of
------------
replacement; provided, however, that any costs for repair, maintenance or

unless Landlord elects to require their removal, in which case Tenant shall
promptly remove them and restore the demised premises to its condition prior to
such removal. Landlord may also, at Landlord's sole discretion, store such
fixtures at Tenant's expense.

appropriate. Any such alterations, additions or improvements consented to by
Landlord shall be made at Tenant's sole cost and expense in accordance with the
plans and specifications therefor and Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with an
"as built" set of plans and specifications in IBM-compatible AutoCAD format or
such other format which is compatible to Landlord's computer aided design

costs, damages, expenses (including
-10-
reasonable attorneys' fees) and any and all liens resulting therefrom.
Section 12.3. All alterations, decorations, additions and improvements
------------
(and expressly including all light fixtures and floor coverings) except
furniture, removable paneling, wall fixtures, trade fixtures, appliances and
equipment which do not become a part of the demised premises, shall be deemed to
belong to Tenant, but shall be deemed to have been attached to the demised
premises or the building and to have become the property of Landlord upon the
termination of the demised term. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of
the demised term hereof, Tenant shall, upon written demand by Landlord made on

and/or (B) any alterations, decorations, additions or improvements made by

and Tenant shall forthwith at its sole cost and expense repair any damage to the
demised premises or the building caused by such removal.
ARTICLE 13 - Remedies
Section 13.1. Should Tenant default in the performance of any of its
------------
obligations under this Lease with reference to the payment of rent and such a
default in the payment of base rent continues for five (5) days after the date
payment is due, or such a default in the payment of other rent continues for
five (5) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord specifying such
default, or should Tenant default in the performance of any other obligations
under this Lease and such default continue for thirty (30) days after receipt of
written notice from Landlord specifying such default or beyond the time
reasonably necessary to cure if such default is of a nature to require more than
thirty (30) days to remedy, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies
Landlord may have under this Lease or under applicable law, Landlord shall have
the following rights and remedies:
(1) The Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code
Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant's breach
and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to
sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). If Tenant breaches
any covenants of this Lease or if any event of default occurs, whether or not
Tenant abandons the demised premises, this Lease shall continue in effect until
Landlord terminates Tenant's right to possession, and Tenant shall remain liable
to perform all of its obligations under this Lease and Landlord may enforce all
of Landlord's rights and remedies, including the right to recover rent as it
falls due. If Tenant abandons the demised premises or fails to maintain and
protect the same as herein provided, Landlord shall have the right to do all
things necessary or appropriate to maintain, preserve and protect the demised
premises, including the installation of guards, and may do all things
appropriate to a re-letting of the demised premises, and none of said acts shall
be deemed to terminate Tenant's right of possession, unless Landlord elects to
terminate the same by written notice to Tenant. Tenant agrees to reimburse
Landlord on demand for all amounts reasonably expended by Landlord in
maintaining, preserving and protecting the demised premises, together with
interest on the amounts expended from time to time at the rate provided in
Section 2.6. Landlord shall also have the right to repair, the demised premises
-----------
at the expense of Tenant to the condition in which Tenant was required to
deliver them at the end of the demised term.
(2) Landlord shall have the right to terminate Tenant's possession of
the demised premises, and if Tenant's right to possession of the demised
premises is terminated by Landlord by reason of a breach of this Lease by
Tenant, or by reason of the happening of
-11-
an event of default, or by reason of abandonment of the demised premises by
Tenant, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord on demand (i) all unpaid rent earned at
the time of termination, together with interest on all unpaid installments from
the times they were due to the date of termination at the rate provided in
Section 2.6; (ii) the amounts by which the unpaid rent which would have been due
-----------
and payable by Tenant since the date of termination exceeds the amount of any
rental loss that Tenant proves could have been avoided, together with interest
on said amounts from the dates they were due at the rate provided in Section
-------
2.6; (iii) the worth at the time of demand of the amount by which the unpaid
---
rent for the balance of the demised term exceeds the amount of rental loss that
Tenant proves may reasonably be avoided, together with interest on such amount
at the rate provided in Section 2.6 from the date of demand until paid; (iv) all
-----------
other amounts due Landlord from Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or
necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment caused by Tenant's failure to
perform its obligations under this Lease. The right to possession of the demised
premises by Tenant should not be deemed terminated until Landlord gives Tenant
written notice of such termination or until Landlord re-lets all or a portion of
the demised premises. In the event that Landlord seeks to recover the amount
due, Landlord shall be entitled to recover the amounts specified in paragraphs
(a) (1), (a) (2) and (a) (4) of Section 1951.2 of the Civil Code of California
as such section reads at the date of this Lease, together with interest on said
amounts at the rate provided in Section 2.6 from the dates they were due,
-----------
computed as of the date of the award, together with the worth at the time of the
award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term exceeds
the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been
avoided. Landlord shall be required to mitigate damages by making a good faith
effort to re-let the demised premises.
(3) No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law, provided
that each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy
given herein or now hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
Section 13.2. Landlord shall in no event be in default in the
------------
performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall
have failed to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days or such
additional times as is reasonably required to correct any such default after
notice by Tenant to the Landlord properly specifying wherein the Landlord has
failed to perform any such obligation.
ARTICLE 14 - Bankruptcy
Section 14.1. Tenant shall use reasonable business efforts to give
------------
written notice to Landlord of its intention to commence proceedings under any
state or federal insolvency or bankruptcy law, or any comparable law that is now
or hereafter may be in effect, whereby Tenant seeks to be, or would be,
discharged of its debts or the payment of its debts is sought to be delayed, at
least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of such proceedings.
Section 14.2. If any of the following events occur:
------------
(1) The entry of an order for relief under Title 11 of the United States

a substantial portion of the property of Tenant by reason of the insolvency or
inability of Tenant to pay its debts;

or federal insolvency or bankruptcy law, or any comparable law that is now or
hereafter may be in effect, whereby Tenant seeks to be, or would be, discharged
of its debts or the payment of its debts is sought to be delayed; then Landlord
may, at any time thereafter, to the full extent permitted under applicable law,
in addition to any and all other rights or remedies of Landlord under this Lease
or under applicable law, upon written notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease,
and upon such notice this Lease shall cease and terminate with the same force
and effect as though the date set forth in said notice were the date originally
set forth herein and fixed for the expiration of the demised term. Tenant shall
thereupon vacate and surrender the demised premises, but shall remain liable as
herein provided.

therefor, except damages due to ordinary wear and tear, acts of God, fire and
other perils to the extent the demised premises are not required to be repaired

the power of eminent domain and the portion not so taken will not be reasonably
adequate for the operation of Tenant's business after the Landlord completes
such repairs or alterations as the Landlord is obligated or elects to make,
Tenant shall have the right to elect either to terminate this Lease, or, subject
to Landlord's right to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 16.4., to
------------
continue in possession of the remainder of the demised premises and shall notify
Landlord in writing within ten (10) days after such taking of Tenant's election.
In the event less than thirty-three percent (33%) of the floor area of the
building on the demised premises or less than thirty three percent (33%) of the
area of the Parking and Accommodation Areas shall be taken, all of the terms
herein provided shall continue in effect, except that the base rent (and any
other rent allocated based on Tenant's square footage in the building) shall be
reduced in the same proportion that the floor area of the building on the
demised premises taken bears to the original floor area of the building on the
demised premises, and Landlord shall at its own cost and expense make all
necessary repairs or alterations to the building so as to constitute the portion
of the building not taken a complete architectural unit and the demised premises
a complete unit for the purposes allowed by this Lease, but such work shall not
exceed the scope of the work to be done by Landlord in originally constructing
said building.

------------
Procedure Section 1265.130 allowing either party to petition the Superior Court
to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking.

improvements which have been installed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense
less depreciation which is to be computed on the basis of completely
depreciating such leasehold improvements during the initial demised term of this
Lease, and any award made to Tenant in excess of the then depreciated value of
leasehold improvements shall be payable to the Landlord.
Section 16.4. If more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the floor areas
------------
of the building on the demised premises shall be taken under power of eminent
domain, or if more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the area of the Parking
and Accommodation Areas shall be so taken, Landlord may, by written notice to
Tenant delivered on or before the date of surrendering possession to the public
authority pursuant to such taking, terminate this Lease as of such date.
Section 16.5. If this Lease is terminated as provided in this Article,
------------

during the demised term. Such taxes, assessments and fees shall be prorated to
lease years for purpose of making this computation. Such payment shall be made

written statement setting forth the amount of such computation thereof, or (ii)
by the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the delinquency date for such tax,

for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel assessed,
such proportion to be determined by Landlord from the respective valuations

reasonably available. Landlord's reasonable determination thereof, in good
faith, shall be conclusive.
Section 17.3. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed
------------
against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property of Tenant contained in the demised premises or elsewhere.
Tenant shall, if possible, cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and

property of Landlord.
If any of Tenant's said personal property shall be assessed with
Landlord's real property, Tenant shall pay Landlord the taxes attributable to
Tenant the later of: (i) within ten (10) days after receipt of a written

Landlord to facilitate payment of a parking charge by the general public for
parking in the parking area, or both, and other similar costs; and there shall
be excluded from all of Article 17 (a) cost of construction of such improvements
----------
which is properly chargeable to capital account and (b) depreciation of the

instrumentality of local, state or federal government) actually received in cash
or its equivalent by Landlord for such parking charge shall be credited against
said costs.
Section 17.5. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 17 hereinabove,
------------ ----------

all improvements of any kind whatsoever placed on or in the demised premises for
the benefit of or at the request of Tenant regardless of whether said
improvements were installed or constructed either by Landlord or Tenant.
Section 17.6. In addition to all other payments provided for herein, the
------------
Tenant shall on demand reimburse Landlord for any tax (excluding income or
similar income-based tax) and/or business license fee or other levy that may be
levied, assessed or imposed upon the rent or other payments provided for herein
or on the square footage of the demised premises, on the act of entering into
this Lease, or on the occupancy of the Tenant however described, as a direct
substitution in whole or in part for, or in addition to, any real property
taxes, whether pursuant to laws presently existing or enacted in the future.
ARTICLE 18 - Parking and Accommodation Areas
Section 18.1. Landlord grants to Tenant during the demised term the
------------
non-exclusive right to use the parking facilities and other areas provided and
designated as "Parking and Accommodation Areas" on Exhibit "B" hereto for the

agents, employees and its customers while working or visiting Tenant. Tenant
agrees that it will encourage its officers, agents and employees park their

subterranean and/or elevated parking areas and facilities, to establish and from
time to time change the level of parking surfaces, to close (if necessary) all
or any portion of said areas or facilities to such extent as may in the opinion
of Landlord's counsel be legally sufficient to prevent a dedication thereof or
the accrual of any rights of any person or of the public therein, and to do and
perform such other acts in and to said areas and improvements respectively as in
the use of good business judgment the Landlord shall determine to be advisable
with a view to the improvement of the convenience and use thereof by Tenant,
other lessees, and their respective employees and visitors.
Section 18.3. Tenant agrees during the demised term to pay to Landlord
------------
an annual charge which shall be Landlord's actual out-of-pocket costs of
operating, maintaining and/or repairing all of the areas and facilities
mentioned in this Article. The annual charge shall be an estimate computed on
the basis of periods of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months, commencing and
ending on such dates as may be designated by Landlord, and shall be paid in
monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month in the amount
estimated by Landlord. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each such annual
period, Landlord will determine (and furnish to Tenant a statement showing in
reasonable detail) the actual annual charge for such period and the amounts so
estimated and paid during such period shall be adjusted within such ninety (90)
days (including adjustments on a prorata basis of any partial such period at
either end of the demised term) and one party shall pay to the other on demand
whatever amount is necessary to effectuate such adjustment.
Landlord's said costs shall consist of and include all costs and
expenses of every kind or nature incurred by Landlord in the operation,
maintenance and repair of all of the areas, facilities and improvements

insurance, landscape maintenance, maintenance of utilities, water, cleaning of
areas, facilities and improvements, operation of lighting, common area taxes and
assessments determined in the same manner as taxes and assessments on the

the total of all of the above for administration of the Parking and
Accommodation Areas.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, repair and/or
maintenance costs included in this Section 18.3. are exclusive of replacement;
------------
provided, however, that any costs for repair, maintenance or replacements which
are occasioned by (x) Tenant's negligent acts or omissions or those of its
employees, contractors, agents, invitees or servants, or (y) the particular
nature of Tenant's business, then all of such costs shall be borne solely by
Tenant.
Section 18.4. The Parking and Accommodation Areas included for the
------------
purpose of this Article are those shown on Exhibit "B" outside of the building
-----------
area.

------------
reasonable business hours, after notice to Tenant and, at Tenant's option, with
a Tenant representative, to enter the demised premises except restricted areas
as established by or on behalf of the Federal Government for security purposes
(and in emergencies at all times without the requirement of notice to Tenant),
(i) to inspect the same, (ii) for any purpose connected with Landlord's rights
or obligations under this Lease and, (iii) for all other lawful purposes.
Section 19.2. Tenant shall not be entitled to make repairs at Landlord's
------------
expense, and Tenant waives the provisions of Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942
with respect to Landlord's obligations for tenantability of the demised premises
and Tenant's right to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from
rent.
Section 19.3. This Lease shall be governed exclusively by the provisions
------------
hereof and by the laws of the State of California as the same from time to time
exist. This Lease expresses the entire understanding and all agreements of the
parties hereto with each other and neither party hereto has made or shall be
bound by any agreement or any representation to the other party which is not
expressly set forth in this Lease.
Section 19.4. If Tenant should hold over after the demised term and any
------------
extension thereof as herein provided for, then such holding over shall be
construed as a tenancy from month to month at a rent equal to 150% of that
provided for under the monthly rental of the principal demised term.
Section 19.5. Tenant agrees to maintain all toilet and washroom
------------
facilities within the demised premises in a neat, clean and sanitary condition.
Section 19.6. Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant, subject to the
------------
terms and provisions of this Lease, on paying the rent and observing, keeping
and performing all of the terms and provisions of this Lease on its part to be
observed, kept and performed, shall lawfully, peaceably and quietly have, hold,
occupy and enjoy the demised premises during the demised term without hindrance
or ejection by any person lawfully claiming under or against the Landlord.
Section 19.7. Subject to Article 6, the terms and provisions hereof
------------ ---------
shall be construed as running with the land and shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of

Section 19.8.
------------
A. Tenant shall promptly pay all sums of money with respect to any

shall be filed, Tenant shall, within five (5) business days of receipt thereof,
give notice to Landlord of such lien, and Tenant shall discharge such lien by
payment of the amount due to the lien claimant within ten (10) business days
after receiving notice of the filing of the lien, or by the date the lien
claimant claims payment is due (if the lien claimant filed such lien before
payment was due). However, Tenant may in good faith contest such lien provided
that within such ten (10) day period Tenant provides Landlord with a surety bond
from a company acceptable to Landlord, protecting against said lien in an amount

or such greater amount as may be required by applicable law; and provided
further that Tenant, if it should decide to contest such lien, shall agree to
indemnify, defend and save harmless Landlord from and against all costs arising

-------
Landlord as security for the faithful performance of all the terms of this Lease
to be observed and performed by Tenant. The Security Deposit shall not be
mortgaged, assigned, transferred or encumbered by Tenant without the written
consent of Landlord and any such act on the part of Tenant shall be without
force and effect and shall not be binding upon Landlord.
B. If any of the rents herein reserved or any other sum payable by
Tenant to Landlord shall be overdue and unpaid, or should Landlord make payments
on behalf of Tenant as permitted hereunder, or should Tenant fail to perform any
of the terms of this Lease, then Landlord may, at its option and without
prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have on account thereof, apply

of Landlord's interest in the demised premises, Landlord, after written notice
to Tenant of said delivery, shall be discharged from any further liability with

other agents to show, the demised premises to any competitors of Tenant
identified by Tenant. In order to do so, Landlord agrees to give Tenant
reasonable advance notice of the name and affiliation of each visitor and the
prospective tenant or purchaser that they represent, and to provide Tenant with
reasonable evidence of such affiliations, so as to allow Tenant a reasonable
amount of time to verify this information and to object and refuse entry to any
-19-
competitor, its affiliates or representatives.
Section 19.19. The following terms as used in this Lease shall have the
-------------
following meaning:

ten (10) business days after written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge
and deliver to Landlord's prospective mortgagee or prospective purchaser, an
estoppel certificate in writing (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, (ii) acknowledging that here are not, to Tenant's knowledge,
any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such
defaults, if any, as are claimed, and (iii) ratifying and certifying any such
other matters as may reasonably be requested. Any such certificate may be
conclusively relied upon by such prospective mortgagee or prospective purchaser.
Tenant's failure to deliver such certificate within such time shall be
conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without
modification except as may be represented by Landlord; that, to Tenant's
knowledge, there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and that not
more than one month's rent has been paid in advance.
