Complex, then only that part of such real Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the Complex
shall be included within the meaning or the term “Real Property Tax”. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the term “Real Property Taxes” shall not include estate, inheritance, gift or franchise
taxes or city or county transfer taxes of Landlord or the federal or
10
state net income tax imposed
on Landlord’s income from all sources. The term “Real Estate Taxes” shall also include
supplemental taxes related to the period of Tenant’s Lease Term whenever levied, including any such
taxes that may be levied after the Lease Term has expired.
B. Taxes on Tenant’s Property
(a) Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten days before delinquency, taxes levied against
any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the Premises. If any such
taxes on Tenant’s personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s
property or if the assessed value of the Premises is increased by the inclusion therein of a value
placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant and if Landlord, after written
notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based on such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the
right to do regardless of the validity thereof, but only under proper process if requested by
Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand, as the case may be, repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against
Landlord, or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment; provided
that in any such event Tenant shall have the right, in the name of Landlord and with Landlord’s
full cooperation, to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the amount of any
such taxes so paid under protest, and any amount so recovered shall belong to Tenant.
(b) if the Tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed, and/or paid for by Landlord
or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are
assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which standard
office improvements in other space in the Complex are assessed, then the real property taxes and
assessments levied against Landlord or the Complex by reason of such excess assessed valuation
shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the
provision of 12Ba, above. If the records of the County Assessor are available and sufficiently
detailed to serve as a basis for determining whether said Tenant improvements are assessed at a
higher valuation than standard office improvements in other space in the Complex, such records
shall be binding on both the Landlord and Tenant. If the records of the County Assessor are not
available or sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for making said determination, the actual
cost of construction shall be used.
13. LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, agrees to keep in force during the term of
this Lease a policy of commercial general liability insurance with a combined single
limit coverage of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence for injuries to or
death of persons occurring in, on or about the Premises or the Complex, and property damage. The
policy or policies affecting such insurance, certificates of insurance of which shall be furnished
to Landlord, shall name Landlord as additional insureds, and shall insure any liability of
Landlord, contingent or otherwise, as respects acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees
or invitees or otherwise by any conduct or transactions of any of said persons in or about or
concerning the Premises, including any failure of Tenant to observe or perform any of its
obligations hereunder, shall be issued by an insurance company admitted to transact business in the
State of California; and shall provide that the insurance effected thereby shall not be canceled,
except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord. If, during the term of this Lease,
in the considered opinion of Landlord’s Lender, insurance advisor, or counsel, the amount of
insurance described in this paragraph 13 is not adequate, Tenant agrees to increase
11
said coverage
to such reasonable amount as Landlord’s Lender, insurance advisor, or counsel shall deem adequate.
14. TENANT’S PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE AND XXXXXXX’X COMPENSATION INSURANCE. Tenant shall
maintain a policy or policies of fire and property damage insurance in “all risk” form with a
sprinkler leakage endorsement insuring the personal property, inventory, trade fixtures, and
leasehold improvements within the leased Premises for the full replacement value thereof. The
proceeds from any such policies shall be used for the repair or replacement of such items so
insured.
Tenant shall also maintain a policy or policies of xxxxxxx’x compensation insurance and any
other employee benefit insurance sufficient to comply with all laws.
15. PROPERTY INSURANCE. Landlord shall purchase and keep in force and as Additional Rent and in
accordance with Paragraph 4D of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or Landlord’s agent if
so directed by Landlord) Tenant’s proportionate share (calculated on a square footage or other
equitable basis as calculated by Landlord) of the deductibles on insurance claims and the cost of
policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Premises and Complex in the amount
of the full replacement value thereof, providing protection against those perils included within
the classification of “all risks” insurance and flood and/or earthquake insurance, if available,
plus a policy of rental income insurance in the amount of one hundred (100%) percent of twelve (12)
months Basic Rent, plus sums paid as Additional Rent. If such insurance cost is increased due to
Tenant’s use of the Premises or the Complex, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the full cost of such
increase. Tenant shall have no interest in nor any right to the proceeds of any insurance procured
by Landlord for the Complex.
Landlord and Tenant do each hereby respectively release the other, to the extent of insurance
coverage of the releasing party, from any liability for loss or damage caused by fire or any of the
extended coverage casualties included in the releasing party’s insurance policies, irrespective of
the cause of such fire or casualty; provided, however, that if the insurance policy of either
releasing party prohibits such waiver, then this waiver shall not take effect until consent to such
waiver is obtained. If such waiver is so prohibited, the insured party affected shall promptly
notify the other party hereof.
16. INDEMNIFICATION. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant hereby waives all claims
against Landlord for any injury to or death of any person or damage or destruction of property in
or about the Premises or the Complex by or from any cause whatsoever, including, without
limitation, gas, fire, oil, electricity or leakage of any character from the roof, walls,
basement or other portion of the Premises or the Complex but excluding, however, the willful
misconduct or negligence of Landlord, or agents, servants, employees, invitees, or contractors of
which negligence Landlord has knowledge and reasonable time to correct. Except as to injury to
persons or damage to property to the extent arising from the willful misconduct or the negligence
of Landlord, its agents, servants, employees, invitees, or contractors. Tenant shall hold Landlord
harmless from and defend Landlord against any and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
in connection therewith, arising out of any injury to or death of any person or damage to or
destruction of property occurring in, on or about the Premises, or any part thereof, from any cause
whatsoever.
12
17. COMPLIANCE. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly comply with all laws,
statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements now or hereafter in
effect; with the requirement of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or
hereafter constituted; and with any direction or occupancy certificate issued pursuant to law by
any public officer, provided, however, that no such failure shall be deemed a breach of the
provisions if Tenant, immediately upon notification, commences to remedy or rectify said failure.
The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action
against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any such law,
statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation, requirement, direction or provision, shall be
conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. This paragraph shall not be interpreted as
requiring Tenant to make structural changes or improvements, except to the extent such changes or
improvements are required as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant shall, at its sole
cost and expense, comply with any and all requirements pertaining to said Premises, of any
insurance organization or company, necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and public
liability insurance covering the Premises.
18. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Complex free from any liens arising out of any
work performed, materials furnished or obligation incurred by Tenant. In the event that Tenant
shall not, within ten (10) days following the imposition of such lien, cause the same to be
released of record, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by
law, the right, but no obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem
proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien. All sums paid by Landlord for
such purpose, and all expenses incurred by it in connection therewith, shall be payable to Landlord
by Tenant on demand with interest at the prime rate of interest as quoted by the Bank of America.
19. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not assign, transfer, or hypothecate the leasehold
estate under this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises, or any part
thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person or entity to
occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without, in each case, the prior written
consent of Landlord which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. As a condition for granting
this consent to any assignment, transfer, or subletting, Landlord shall require Tenant to
pay to Landlord, as additional Rent seventy five percent of all rents and/or additional
consideration due Tenant from its assignees, transferees, or subtenants in excess of the Rent
payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder for the assigned, transferred and/or subleased space;
provided however, that before sharing such excess rent, Tenant shall first be entitled to recover
from such excess rent the amount of any reasonable leasing commissions paid by Tenant to third
parties not affiliated with Tenant. Tenant shall, by thirty (30) days written notice, advise
Landlord of its intent to assign or transfer Tenant’s interest in the Lease or sublet the Premises
or any portion thereof for any part of the term hereof. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of
said written notice, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this Lease as to the
portion of the Premises described in Tenant’s notice on the date specified in Tenant’s notice,
except for Permitted Transfers, by giving written notice of such election to terminate. If no such
notice to terminate is given to Tenant within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant may proceed to
locate an acceptable sublessee, assignee, or other transferee for presentment to Landlord for
Landlord’s approval, all in accordance with the terms, covenants, and conditions of this paragraph
19. If Tenant intends to sublet the entire Premises and Landlord elects to terminate this Lease,
this
13
Lease shall be terminated on the date specified in Tenant’s notice. If, however, this Lease
shall terminate pursuant to the foregoing with respect to less than all the Premises, the rent, as
defined and reserved hereinabove shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis to the number of square feet
retained by Tenant, and this Lease as so attended shall continue in full force and effect. In the
event Tenant is allowed to assign, transfer or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, with
the prior written consent of Landlord, no assignee, transferee or subtenant shall assign or
transfer this Lease, either in whole or in part, or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises,
without also having obtained the prior written consent of Landlord. A Consent of Landlord to one
assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not
release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder or be deemed to be a consent to any
subsequent similar or dissimilar assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use
by any other person. Any such assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use
without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant and shall,
at the option of Landlord exercised by written notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease. The
leasehold estate under this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest therein, be assignable for any
purpose by operation of law without the written consent of Landlord. As a condition to its
consent, Landlord shall require Tenant to pay all expenses in connection with the assignment, and
Landlord shall require Tenant’s assignee or transferee (or other assignees or transferees) to
assume in writing all of the obligations under this Lease and for Tenant to remain liable to
Landlord under the Lease.
Notwithstanding the above, in no event will Landlord consent to a sub-sublease.
20. SUBORDINATION AND MORTGAGES. In the event Landlord’s title or leasehold interest is now or
hereafter encumbered by a deed of trust, upon the interest of Landlord in the land and buildings in
which the demised Premises are located, to secure a loan from a lender (hereinafter referred to as
“Lender”) to Landlord, Tenant shall, at the request of landlord or Lender, execute in writing an
agreement subordinating its rights under this Lease to the lien of such deed of trust, or, if so
requested, agreeing that the lien of Lender’s deed of trust shall be or remain subject and
subordinate to the rights of Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding any such subordination,
Tenant’s possession under this Lease shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not
in default and so long as Tenant shall pay all rent and observe and perform all of the provisions
set forth in this Lease.
21. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves, and shall at all reasonable times after at least 24
hours notice (except in emergencies) have the right to enter the Premises to inspect them; to
perform and services to be provided by Landlord hereunder; to submit the Premises to prospective
purchasers, mortgagers or tenants; to post notices of nonresponsibility; and to alter, improve or
repair the Premises and any portion of the Complex, all without abatement of rent; and may erect
scaffolding and other necessary structures in or through the Premises where reasonably required by
the character of the work to be performed; provided, however that the business of Tenant shall be
interfered with to the least extent that is reasonably practical. For each of the foregoing
purposes, any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall
not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a
detainer of the Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises or any
portion thereof. Landlord shall also have the right at any time to change the arrangement of
location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, and
14
corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets
or other public parts of the Complex and to change the name, number or designation by which Complex
is commonly known, and none of the foregoing shall be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of
Tenant, or shall Tenant to any reduction of rent hereunder.
22. BANKRUPTCY AND DEFAULT. The commencement of a bankruptcy action or liquidation action or
reorganization action or insolvency action or an assignment of or by Tenant for the benefit of
creditors, or any similar action undertaken by Tenant, or the insolvency of Tenant, shall, at
Landlord’s option, constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant. If the trustee or receiver
appointed to serve during a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, insolvency or similar action
elects to reject Tenant’s unexpired Lease, the trustee or receiver shall notify Landlord in writing
of its election within thirty (30) days after an order for relief in a liquidation action or within
thirty (30) days after the commencement of any action.
Within thirty (30) days after court approval of the assumption of this lease, the trustee or
receiver shall cure (or provide adequate assurance to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord that
the trustee or receiver shall cure) any and all previous defaults under the unexpired Lease and
shall compensate Landlord for all actual pecuniary loss and shall provide adequate assurances of
future performance under said Lease to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Adequate assurance
of future performance, as used herein, includes but shall not be limited to: (i) assurance of
source and payment of rent, and other consideration due under this Lease; (ii) assurance that the
assumption or assignment of this Lease will not breach substantially any provision, such as radius,
location, use, or exclusivity provision, in any agreement relating to the above described Premises.
Nothing contained in this section shall affect the existing right of Landlord to refuse to
accept an assignment upon commencement of or in connection with a bankruptcy, liquidation,
reorganization nor insolvency action or an assignment of Tenant for the benefit of creditors or
other similar act. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as giving or granting or
creating an equity in the demised Premises to Tenant. In no event shall the leasehold estate
under this Lease, or any interest therein, be assigned by voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy
proceeding without the prior written consent of Landlord. In no event shall this Lease or any
rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization proceedings.
The failure to perform or honor any covenant, condition or representation made under this
Lease shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant upon expiration of the appropriate grace
period hereinafter provided. Tenant shall have a period of five (5) days from the date of written
notice from Landlord within which to cure any default in the payment of rental or adjustment
thereto. Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of written notice from
Landlord within which to cure any other default under this Lease. Upon an uncured default of this
Lease by Tenant, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies in addition to any other
rights or remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity.
(a) The rights and remedies provided for by California Civil Code Section 1951.2 including but
not limited to, recovery of the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent
for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of
15
rental loss for the same
period that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, as computed pursuant to subsection (b) of
said Section 1951.2. Any proof by Tenant under subparagraphs (2) and (3) of Section 1951.2 of the
California Civil Code of the amount of rental loss that could be reasonably avoided shall be made
in the following manner: Landlord and Tenant shall each select a licensed real estate broker in
the business of renting property of the same type and use as the Premises and in the same
geographic vicinity. Such two real estate brokers shall select a third licensed real estate
broker, and the three licensed real estate brokers so selected shall determine the amount of rental
loss that could be reasonably avoided from the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of
award. The decision of the majority of said licensed real estate brokers shall be final and
binding upon the parties hereto.
(b) The rights and remedies provided by California Civil Code Section which allows Landlord to
continue the Lease in effect and to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease,
including the right to recover rent as it becomes due, for so long as Landlord does not terminate
Tenant’s right to possession; acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises,
or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlord’s initiative to protect its interest under this
Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession.
(c) The right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant in accordance with applicable
law.
(d) To the extent permitted by law the right and power to enter the Premises and remove
therefrom all persons and property, to store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at
the cost of and for the account of Tenant, and to sell such property and apply such proceeds
therefrom pursuant to applicable California law. Landlord may from time to time sublet the
Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may extend beyond the term of this
Lease) and at such rent and such other terms as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable,
with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. Upon each subletting, (i) Tenant
shall be immediately liable to pay Landlord, in addition to indebtedness
other than rent due hereunder, the cost of such subletting, including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any real estate commissions actually paid, and the cost of such
alterations and repairs incurred by Landlord and the amount, if any, by which the rent hereunder
for the period of such subletting (to the extent such period does not exceed the term hereof)
exceeds the amount to be paid as rent for the Premises for such period or (ii) at the option of
Landlord, rents received from such subletting shall be applied first to payment of indebtedness
other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs of such
subletting and of such alterations and repairs; third to payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder;
and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the
same becomes due hereunder. If Tenant has been credited with any rent to be received by such
subletting under option (i) and such rent shall not be promptly paid to Landlord by the
subtenant(s), or if such rentals received from such subletting under option (ii) during any month
be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such
deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. For all purposes
set forth in this subparagraph d. No possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as
an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given
to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such subletting without termination, Landlord may at any time
hereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.
16
(e) The right to have a receiver appointed for Tenant upon application by Landlord, to take
possession of the Premises and to apply any rental collected from the Premises and to exercise all
other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to subparagraph d above.
23. ABANDONMENT. Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time during the term of
this Lease and if Tenant shall abandon, vacate or surrender said Premises, or be dispossessed by
the process of law, or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the
Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord, except such property as may be
mortgaged to Landlord.
24. DESTRUCTION. In the event the Premises are destroyed in whole or in part from any cause,
except for routine maintenance and repairs and incidental damage and destruction caused from
vandalism and accidents for which Tenant is responsible for under Xxxxxxxxx 00, Xxxxxxxx may, at
its option:
(a) Rebuild or restore the Premises to their condition prior to the damage or destruction, or
(b) Terminate this Lease.
If Landlord does not give Tenant notice in writing within thirty (30) days from the
destruction of the Premises of its election to either rebuild and restore them, or to terminate
this Lease, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to rebuild or restore them, in which event
Landlord agrees, at its expense, promptly to rebuild or restore the Premises to their condition
prior to the damage or destruction. Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in rent while such
repair is being made in the proportion that the area of the Premises rendered untenantable by
such damage bears to the total area of the Premises. If Landlord initially estimates that the
rebuilding or restoration will exceed 180 days or If Landlord does not complete the rebuilding or
restoration within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of destruction (such period of
time to be extended for delays caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or because of Acts of God,
acts of public agencies, labor disputes, strikes, fires, freight embargoes, rainy or stormy
weather, inability to obtain materials, supplies or fuels, acts of contractors or subcontractors,
or delay of the contractors or subcontractors due to such causes or other contingencies beyond the
control of Landlord), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving fifteen
(15) days prior written notice to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Landlord’s obligation to rebuild or restore shall be limited to the building and interior
improvements constructed by Landlord as they existed as of the commencement date of the Lease and
shall not include restoration of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise, or any
improvements, alterations or additions made by Tenant to the Premises, which Tenant shall forthwith
replace or fully repair at Tenant’s sole cost and expense provided this Lease is not cancelled
according to the provisions above.
Unless this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions, this Lease shall remain
in full force and effect. Tenant hereby expressly waives the provisions of Section 1932,
Subdivision 2 in Section 1933, Subdivision 4 of the California Civil Code.
17
In the event that the building in which the Premises are situated is damaged or destroyed to
the extent of not less than 331/3% of the replacement cost thereof, Landlord
may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises be insured or not. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, Landlord may terminate this Lease in the event of an uninsured
event or if insurance proceeds are insufficient to cover 100% of the rebuilding costs net of the
deductible.
25. EMINENT DOMAIN. If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken by any public or
quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain or conveyance in lieu thereof, this Lease
shall terminate as to any portion of the Premises so taken or conveyed on the date when title vests
in the condemnor, and Landlord shall be entitled to any and all payment, income, rent, award, or
any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with such taking or
conveyance, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or otherwise for the value of any
unexpired term of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, any compensation
specifically awarded Tenant for loss of business, Tenant’s personal property, moving cost or loss
of goodwill, shall be and remain the property of Tenant.
If (i) any action or proceeding is commenced for such taking of the Premises or any part
thereof, or if Landlord is advised in writing by any entity or body having the right or power of
condemnation of its intention to condemn the premises or any portion thereof, or (ii) any of the
foregoing events occur with respect to the taking of any space in the Complex not lease hereby, or
if any such spaces so taken or conveyed in lieu of such taking and Landlord shall decide to
discontinue the use and operation of the Complex, or decide to demolish, alter or rebuild the
Complex, then, in any of such events Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
giving Tenant written notice thereof within sixty (60) days of the date of receipt of said written
advice, or commencement of said action or proceeding, or taking conveyance, which termination shall
take place as of the first to occur of the last day of the calendar month next following the
month in which such notice is given or the date on which title to the Premises shall vest in
the condemnor.
In the event of such a partial taking or conveyance of the Premises, if the portion of the
Premises taken or conveyed is so substantial that the Tenant can no longer reasonably conduct its
business, Tenant shall have the privilege of terminating this Lease within sixty (60) days from the
date of such taking or conveyance, upon written notice to Landlord of its intention to do so, and
upon giving of such notice this Lease shall terminate on the last day of the calendar month next
following the month in which such notice is given, upon payment by Tenant of the rent from the date
of such taking or conveyance to the date of termination.
If a portion of the Premises be taken by condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof and
neither Landlord nor Tenant shall terminate this Lease as provided herein, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect as to the part of the Premises not so taken or conveyed, and the
rent herein shall be apportioned as of the date of such taking or conveyance so that thereafter the
rent to be paid by Tenant shall be in the ratio that the are of the portion of the Premises not so
taken or conveyed bears to the total area of the Premises prior to such taking.
26. SALE OR CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD. In the event of a sale or conveyance of the Complex or any
interest therein, by any owner of the reversion then constituting Landlord, the transferor shall
thereby be released from any further liability upon any of the terms,
18
covenants or conditions
(express or implied) herein contained in favor of Tenant, so long as the balance of the Security
Deposit is also transferred, and in such event, insofar as such transfer is concerned, Tenant
agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of such transferor in and
to the Complex and this Lease. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale or conveyance,
and Tenant agrees to attorn to the successor in interest of such transferor.
27. ATTORNMENT TO LENDER OR THIRD PARTY. In the event the interest of Landlord in the land and
buildings in which the leased Premises are located (whether such interest of Landlord is a fee
title interest or a leasehold interest) is encumbered by deed of trust, and such interest is
acquired by the lender or any third party through judicial foreclosure or by exercise of a power of
sale at private trustee’s foreclosure sale, Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to the purchaser at any
such foreclosure sale and to recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease. In the
event the lien of the deed of trust securing the loan from a Lender to Landlord is prior and
paramount to the Lease, this Lease shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect for the
remainder of the unexpired term hereof, at the same rental herein reserved and upon all the other
terms, conditions and covenants herein contained.
28. HOLDING OVER. Any holding over by Tenant after expiration or other termination of the term of
this Lease with the written consent of Landlord delivered to Tenant shall not constitute a renewal
or extension of the Lease or give Tenant any rights in or to the leased Premises except as
expressly provided in this Lease. Any holding over after the expiration or other termination of
the term of this Lease, with the consent of Landlord, shall be construed to be a tenancy from month
to month on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable except that the
monthly Basic Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one
hundred fifty (150%) percent of the monthly Basic Rent required during the last month of the Lease
term.
29. CERTIFICATE OF ESTOPPEL. Tenant shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) business days’
prior written notice from Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement 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, and
(ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of
Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults, if any, are claimed. Any such statement may be
conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises. Tenant’s
failure to deliver such statement 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
there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and that not more than one month’s rent
has been paid in advance.
30. CONSTRUCTION CHANGES. It is understood that the description of the Premises and the location
of ductwork, plumbing and other facilities therein are subject to such minor changes as Landlord or
Landlord’s architect determines to be desirable in the course of construction of the Premises, and
no such changes, or any changes in plans for any other portions of the Complex shall affect this
Lease or entitle Tenant to any reduction of rent hereunder or result in any liability of Landlord
to Tenant. Landlord does not guarantee the accuracy of any drawings supplied to Tenant and
verification of the accuracy of such drawings rests with Tenant.
19
31. RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be
performed or observed by Tenant shall be performed or observed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense and without any reduction of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, or other
rent, required to be paid by it hereunder and such failure shall continue for five (5) days after
written notice by Landlord, or shall fail to perform any other term or covenant hereunder on its
part to be performed, and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof by Landlord, Landlord, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation of Tenant
hereunder, may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such other term
or covenant on Tenant’s part to be performed. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary costs
of such performances by Landlord together with interest thereon at the rate of the prime rate of
interest per annum as quoted by the Bank of America from the date of such payment or performance by
Landlord, shall be paid (and Tenant covenants to make such payment) to Landlord on demand by
Landlord, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same
rights and remedies in the event of nonpayment by Tenant as in the case of failure by Tenant in the
payment of rent hereunder.
32. ATTORNEYS’ FEES.
(A) In the event that either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit for the possession of the
Premises, for the recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any
provision of this Lease or for any other relief against the other party hereunder, then all costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall
be
paid by the other party, which obligation on the party of the other party shall be deemed to
have accrued on the date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not
the action is prosecuted to judgement.
(B) Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection
with or arising out of Tenant’s occupancy hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and
expenses incurred in such suit, including a reasonable attorney’s fee.

44. “AS-IS” BASIS: Subject only to Paragraph 45 and to Landlord making the improvements
shown on Exhibit B to be attached hereto, it is hereby agreed that the Premises leased
hereunder is leased strictly on an “as-is” basis and in its present condition, and in the
configuration as shown on Exhibit B to be attached hereto, and by reference made a part
hereof. Except as noted herein, it is specifically agreed between the parties that after Landlord
makes the
25
interior improvements as shown on Exhibit B, Landlord shall not be required to make, nor be
responsible for any cost, in connection with any repair, restoration, and/or improvement to the
Premises in order for this Lease to commence, or thereafter, throughout the Term of this Lease.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary within this Lease, Landlord makes no warranty or
representation of any kind or nature whatsoever as to the condition or repair of the Premises, nor
as to the use or occupancy which may be made thereof.
45. TENANT INTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS: Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, construct
certain interior improvements (the “Tenant Improvements”) in the Premises, as shown on Exhibit
B to be attached to the Lease and Landlord agrees to deliver the Premises leased hereunder to
Tenant, at Landlord’s expense, in the configuration shown in Red on Exhibit B to be
attached hereto and in good workmanlike condition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above,
it is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord shall be required to furnish only a standard
air conditioning/heating system, normal electrical outlets, standard fire sprinkler systems,
standard bathroom, standard lobby, 2’ x 4’ suspended acoustical tile drop ceiling throughout the
entire space leased, carpeting and/or vinyl-coated floor tile, and standard office partitions and
doors, as shown on Exhibit B to be attached hereto; provided however, that any special HVAC
and/or plumbing and/or electrical requirements over and above that normally supplied by Landlord
shall be 100 percent the responsibility of and be paid for 100 percent by Tenant.
It is further agreed that Tenant shall furnish Landlord with Tenant’s required specifications
and a preliminary space plan showing the layout of the improvements to be constructed in the
Premises by July 22, 1999. At that time, Landlord shall have the final interior plans drawn by
Landlord’s architect. All of the plans and specifications shall be Exhibit B to this
Lease. If said preliminary plans and specifications for any items affecting the interior
improvements to be constructed in the building are not received by Landlord for Landlord’s approval
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) by July 22, 1999, then it is agreed that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, this Lease and Tenant’s obligation to
perform all terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall commence , regardless of whether or
not the building and interior improvements are completed on August 1, 1999, and Landlord shall
complete construction of the interior improvements as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it is agreed that in the event Tenant makes changes,
additions, or modifications to the plans and specifications to be constructed by Landlord as set
forth herein, or improvements are installed for Tenant in excess of those to be provided Tenant by
Landlord as set forth on Exhibit B, any increased cost(s) resulting from said changes,
additions, and/or modifications and/or improvements in excess of those to be provided Tenant shall
be contracted for with Landlord and paid for one hundred percent (100%) by Tenant.
The interior shall be constructed in accordance with Exhibit B of the Lease, it being
agreed, however, that if the interior improvements constructed by Landlord relating thereto, do not
conform exactly to the plans and specifications as set forth in the Lease, and the general
appearance, structural integrity, and Tenant’s uses and occupancy of the Premises and interior
improvements relating thereto are not materially or unreasonably affected by such deviation, it is
26
agreed that the commencement date of the Lease, and Tenant’s obligation to pay rental, shall
not be affected, and Tenant hereby agrees, in such event, to accept the Premises and interior
improvements as constructed by Landlord.
Tenant shall have thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date to provide Landlord with a
“punch list” pertaining to Landlord’s work with respect to Tenant’s interior improvements. As soon
as reasonably possible thereafter, Landlord, or one of Landlord’s representatives (if so approved
by Landlord), and Tenant shall conduct a joint walk-through of the Premises (if Landlord so
requires), and inspect such Tenant Improvements, using their best efforts to agree on the
incomplete or defective construction related to the Tenant Improvements installed by Landlord.
After such inspection has been completed, Landlord shall prepare, and both parties shall sign, a
list of all “punch list” items which the parties reasonably agree are to be corrected by Landlord
(but which shall exclude any damage or defects caused by Tenant, its employees, agents or parties
Tenant has contracted with to work on the Premises). Landlord shall have thirty (30) days
thereafter (or longer if necessary, provided Landlord is diligently pursuing the completion of the
same) to complete, at Landlord’s expense, the repairs on the “punch list” without the Commencement
Date of the Lease and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rental thereunder being affected. This Paragraph
shall be of no force and effect if Tenant shall fail to give any such notice to Landlord within
thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date of this Lease.
46. CONSENT: Whenever the consent of one party to the other is required hereunder, such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
47. CHOICE OF LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Lease shall in all respects be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. If any provisions of this Lease
shall be invalid, unenforceable, or ineffective for any reason whatsoever, all other provisions
hereof shall be and remain in full force and effect.
48. AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE. The parties executing this Lease Agreement hereby warrant and
represent that they are properly authorized to execute this Lease Agreement and bind the parties on
behalf of whom they execute this Lease Agreement and to all of the terms, covenants and conditions
of this Lease Agreement as they relate to the respective parties hereto.
49. ASSESSMENT CREDITS: The demised property herein may be subject to a special assessment
levied by the City of Redwood City as part of an Improvement District. As a part of said special
assessment proceedings (if any), additional bonds were or may be sold and assessments were or may
be levied to provide for construction contingencies and reserve funds. Interest shall be earned on
such funds created for contingencies and on reserve funds which will be credited for the benefit of
said assessment district. To the extent surpluses are created in said district through unused
contingency funds, interest earnings or reserve funds, such surpluses shall be deemed the property
of Landlord. Notwithstanding that such surpluses may be credited on assessments otherwise due
against the Leased Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent if, and at the time
of any such credit of surpluses, an amount equal to all such surpluses so credited. For example:
if (i) the property is subject to an annual assessment of $1,000.00, and (ii) a surplus of $200.00
is credited towards the current year’s assessment which reduces the assessment amount shown on the
property tax xxxx from $1,000.00 to $800.00, Tenant
27
shall, upon receipt of notice from Landlord, pay to Landlord said $200.00 credit as Additional
Rent.
50. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING (CONTINUED):
A. Landlord hereby acknowledges that, during the first thirty six months of the Lease Term,
Tenant may desire to sublease a portion of the Leased Premises. Provided Tenant is not in default
of this Lease, and subject to Paragraph 49C below, Landlord agrees that it will not exercise its
right, as provided for in Paragraph 19, to terminate the Lease as a result of a request(s) by
Tenant to sublease less than a total of fifty percent (50%) of the Premises to one or more
subtenants for a sublease term(s) not to extend beyond July 31, 2002. In such event, Landlord
agrees to issue Landlord’s standard consent to said sublease, subject to (a) Tenant submitting to
Landlord a copy of said sublease (prior to said sublease commencing), (b) Landlord, Tenant and
Subtenant thereafter executing Landlord’s standard Consent to Sublease agreement and (c) Landlord
receives payment from Tenant of Landlord’s costs for processing said Sublease Consent
prior to said sublease commencing.
B. Permitted Transfers: In addition to and notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Paragraph 19 of this Lease, Landlord hereby agrees to consent to Tenant’s assigning or
subletting said Lease to: (i) any parent or subsidiary corporation, affiliate, or corporation with
which Tenant merges or consolidates, provided that the net worth of said parent or subsidiary
corporation, affiliate, or said corporation has a net worth equal to or greater than the net worth
of Tenant (a) at the time of Lease execution or (b) at the time of such assignment, merger, or
consolidation (whichever is greater); or (ii) any third party or entity to whom Tenant sells all or
substantially all of its assets; provided, that the net worth of the resulting or acquiring
corporation has a net worth after the merger, consolidation or acquisition equal to or greater than
the net worth of Tenant (a) at the time of Lease execution or (b) at the time of such merger,
consolidation or acquisition (whichever is greater) (collectively “Permitted Transfers”). No such
Permitted Transfer will release the Tenant from its liability and responsibility under this Lease
to the extent Tenant continues in existence following such transaction. Notwithstanding the above,
Tenant shall be required to (a) give Landlord written notice prior to such assignment or subletting
to any party as described in (i) and (ii) above, (b) execute Landlord’s consent document prepared
by Landlord reflecting the assignment or subletting and (c) pay Landlord’s costs for processing
said Consent prior to the effective date of said assignment or sublease.
C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that it shall not be unreasonable
for Landlord to refuse to consent to a proposed assignment, sublease or other transfer (“Proposed
Transfer”) if the Premises or ant other portion of the Property would become subject to additional
or different Government Requirements as a direct or indirect consequence of the Proposed Transfer
and/or the Proposed Transferee’s use and occupancy of the Premises and the Property. However,
Landlord may, in its sole discretion, consent to such a Proposed Transfer where Landlord is
indemnified by Tenant and (i) Subtenant or (ii) Assignee, in form and substance satisfactory to
Landlord’s counsel, by Tenant and/or the Proposed Transferee from and against any and all costs,
expenses, obligations and liability arising out of the Proposed Transfer and/or the Proposed
Transferee’s use and occupancy of the Premises and the Property.
28
D. Any and all sublease agreement(s) between Tenant and any and all subtenant(s) (which
agreements must be consented to by Landlord, pursuant to the requirements of this Lease) shall
contain the following language:
“If Landlord and Tenant jointly and voluntarily elect, for any reason whatsoever, to terminate
the Master Lease prior to the scheduled Master Lease termination date, then this Sublease (if then
still in effect) shall terminate concurrently with the termination of the Master Lease. Subtenant
expressly acknowledges and agrees that (1) the voluntary termination of the Master Lease by
Landlord and Tenant and the resulting termination of this Sublease shall not give Subtenant any
right or power to make any legal or equitable claim against Landlord, including without limitation
any claim for interference with contract or interference with prospective economic advantage, and
(2) Subtenant hereby waives any and all rights it may have under law or at equity against Landlord
to challenge such an early termination of the Sublease, and unconditionally releases and relieves
Landlord, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, from any and all claims, demands,
and/or causes of action whatsoever (collectively, “Claims”), whether such matters are known or
unknown, latent or apparent, suspected or unsuspected, foreseeable or unforeseeable, which
Subtenant may have arising out of or in connection with any such early termination of this
Sublease. Subtenant knowingly and intentionally waives any and all protection which is or may be
given by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides as follows: “A general release
does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the
time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement
with debtor.
The term of this Sublease is therefore subject to early termination. Subtenant’s initials
here below evidence (a) Subtenant’s consideration of and agreement to this early termination
provision, (b) Subtenant’s acknowledgment that, in determining the net benefits to be derived by
Subtenant under the terms of this Sublease, Subtenant has anticipated the potential for early
termination, and (c) Subtenant’s agreement to the general waiver and release of Claims above.
Initials: | Initials: | ” | ||||||||||||
51. BANKRUPTCY AND DEFAULT: Paragraph 22 is modified to provide that with respect to
non-monetary defaults not involving Tenant’s failure to pay Basic Rent or Additional Rent, Tenant
shall not be in default of any non-monetary obligation if (i) more than thirty (30) days is
required to cure such non-monetary default, and (ii) Tenant commences cure of such default as soon
as reasonably practicable after receiving written notice of such default from Landlord and
thereafter continuously and with due diligence prosecutes such cure to completion.
52. ABANDONMENT: Paragraph 23 is modified to provide that Tenant shall not be in default
under the Lease if it leaves all or any part of Premises vacant so long as (i) Tenant is performing
all of its other obligations under the Lease including the obligation to pay Basic Rent and
Additional Rent (ii) Tenant provides on-site security during normal business hours for those parts
of the Premises left vacant, (iii) such vacancy does not materially and adversely affect the
validity or coverage of any policy of insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Premises,
and (iv) the utilities and heating and ventilation system are operated and maintained to the extent
necessary to prevent damage to the Premises or its systems.
29
53. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Landlord and Tenant agree as follows with respect to the
existence or use of “Hazardous Materials” (as defined herein) on, in, under or about the Premises
and real property located beneath said Premises and the common areas of the Complex (hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Property”):
A. As used herein, the term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any material, waste, chemical,
mixture or byproduct which is or hereafter is defined, listed or designated under Environmental

material, waste, chemical, mixture or byproduct, or which is listed, regulated or restricted by any
Environmental Law (including, without limitation, petroleum hydrocarbons or any distillates or
derivatives or fractions thereof, polychlorinated biphenyls, or asbestos). As used herein, the
term “Environmental Laws” shall mean any applicable Federal, State of California or local
government law (including common law), statute, regulation, rule, ordinance, permit, license,
order, requirement, agreement, or approval, or any determination, judgment, directive, or order of
any executive or judicial authority at any level of Federal, State of California or local
government (whether now existing or subsequently adopted or promulgated) relating to pollution or
the protection of the environment, ecology, natural resources, or public health and safety.
B. Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s
discretion, prior to the occurrence of any Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities (defined below);
provided, however, that Landlord’s consent shall not be required for normal use in compliance with
applicable Environmental Laws of customary household and office supplies (Tenant shall first
provide Landlord with a list of said materials use), such as mild cleaners, lubricants and copier
toner. As used herein, the term “Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities” shall mean any and all
use, handling, generation, storage, disposal, treatment, transportation, release, discharge, or
emission of any Hazardous Materials on, in, beneath, to, from, at or about the Property, in
connection with Tenant’s use of the Property, or by Tenant or by any of Tenant’s agents, employees,
contractors, vendors, invitees, visitors or its future subtenants or assignees. Tenant agrees that
any and all Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities shall be conducted in strict, full compliance
with applicable Environmental Laws at Tenant’s expense, and shall not result in any contamination
of the Property or the environment. Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with prompt written notice
of any spill or release of Hazardous Materials at the Property during the term of the Lease of
which Tenant becomes aware, and further agrees to provide Landlord with prompt written notice of
any violation of Environmental Laws in connection with Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities of
which Tenant becomes aware. If Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities involve Hazardous Materials
other than normal use of customary household and office supplies, Tenant also agrees at Tenant’s
expense: (i) to install such Hazardous Materials monitoring, storage and containment devices as
Landlord reasonably deems necessary (Landlord shall have no obligation to evaluate the need for any
such installation or to require any such installation); (ii) provide Landlord with a written
inventory of such Hazardous Materials, including an update of same each year upon the anniversary
date of the Commencement Date of the Lease (“Anniversary Date”); and (iii) on each Anniversary
Date, to retain a qualified environmental consultant, acceptable to Landlord, to evaluate whether
Tenant is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws with respect to Tenant’s Hazardous
Materials Activities. Tenant, at its expense, shall submit to Landlord a report from such
30
environmental consultant which discusses the environmental consultant’s findings within two
(2) months of each Anniversary Date. Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly undertake and complete
any and all steps necessary, and in full compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, to fully
correct any and all problems or deficiencies identified by the environmental consultant, and
promptly provide Landlord with documentation of all such corrections.
C. Prior to termination or expiration of the Lease, Tenant, at its expense, shall (i) properly

rights it may have under this Lease or under Environmental Laws or other laws, may enter upon the
Property and conduct inspection, sampling and analysis, including but not limited to obtaining and
analyzing samples of soil and groundwater, for the purpose of determining the nature and extent of
such contamination. Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for the costs of such an
investigation, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees Landlord incurs with respect
to such investigation, that discloses Hazardous Materials contamination for which Tenant is liable
under this Lease. Except as may be required of Tenant by applicable Environmental Laws, Tenant
shall not perform any sampling, testing, or drilling to identify the presence of any Hazardous
Materials at the Property, without Landlord’s prior written consent which may be withheld in
Landlord’s discretion. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with copies of any claims, notices,
work plans, data and reports prepared, received or submitted in connection with any sampling,

AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and
in consideration of the hereinafter mutual promises, the parties hereto do agree as follows:
1. INCREASED PREMISES: Effective June 1, 2005 (the “Effective Date”), the size of the
Leased Premises will be increased by 25,643+ square feet (the “Increased Premises”), or
from 22,741+ square feet to 48,384+ square feet of space (one hundred percent
(100%) of the Building and hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”). Total said Premises are
more particularly shown within the area outlined in Red on Exhibit A. The entire parcel,
of which the Premises is a part, is shown within the area outlined in Green on Exhibit A.
Except as hereinafter provided in Paragraph 1.A (“Tenant Improvements to be made by Landlord”) and
Paragraph 1.B (“Punch List”), the Increased Premises is leased on an “as-is” basis, in its present
condition and configuration, as set forth in Blue on Exhibit B attached hereto, with the
entire interior Premises shown in Red on Exhibit B.
A. Tenant Improvements to be made by Landlord: Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary above, Landlord has agreed to complete, at Landlord’s cost and expense, the tenant
improvements specifically listed below (“Tenant Improvements”), and Landlord shall not be
responsible for providing any additional interior improvements:
1) | Remove the walls and related doors as shown in Pink dashed lines on Exhibit B |
Initial:

Westport 8
attached hereto; | |||
2) | Landlord shall provide one (1) 4-port voice and data outlet (two (2) voice and two (2) data outlet) to a maximum of one hundred (100) office cubicles to be installed within the Increased Premises by Tenant; | ||
3) | Landlord shall have the electrical system within the Increased Premises inspected and any necessary repairs completed (including the replacement of any broken or non-functioning lights and ballasts); | ||
4) | Landlord shall have the HVAC system within the Increased Premises inspected and any necessary repairs completed; | ||
5) | Landlord shall have the roof membrane for the Building inspected and any necessary repairs completed; and | ||
6) | Landlord shall have the plumbing system within the Increased Premises inspected and any necessary repairs completed. |
The Tenant Improvements referenced above shall become a part of the Premises upon installation
and Tenant shall not be required or allowed to remove said Tenant Improvements upon Lease
Termination.
Landlord shall commence the installation and diligently pursue the completion of the Tenant
Improvements on the first business day following Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of the executed
Amendment No. 4; however, the Effective Date of the Increased Premises shall not be amended in the
event Landlord has not completed said Tenant Improvements by the Effective Date so long as Landlord
has commenced work on the Tenant Improvements in a timely manner required above. Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to Tenant’s business during the installation of
the Tenant Improvements; however, Tenant understands that said Tenant Improvements shall be
installed during normal business hours, and Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord’s contractors
to insure that the Tenant Improvements are completed in an expeditious manner, including providing
Landlord’s contractors with access to the Premises by 7:00 a.m. on weekdays.
B. Punch List: In addition to and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Paragraph 1.A above, Tenant shall have thirty (30) days after the Effective Date to provide
Landlord with a written “punch list” pertaining to defects in the Tenant Improvements completed by
Landlord for Tenant as referenced in Paragraph 1.A above. As soon as reasonably possible
thereafter, Landlord (or one of Landlord’s representatives if so approved by Landlord), and Tenant
shall conduct a joint walk-through of the Increased Premises (if Landlord so requires), and inspect
such Tenant Improvements, using their best efforts to agree on the incomplete or defective
installation related to the Tenant Improvements installed for Tenant by Landlord. After such
inspection has been completed, Landlord shall prepare, and both parties shall sign, a list of all
“punch list” items which the parties reasonably agree are (i) to be corrected by Landlord (but
which shall exclude any damage or defects caused by Tenant, its employees, agents or parties Tenant
has contracted with to work on the Premises) or (ii) if said defects and/or damaged item(s) are not
material, Landlord may reasonably elect with Tenant’s reasonable concurrence, not to repair such
item(s), but to acknowledge in written form the defect and/or damaged item(s); in which case,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in said Lease Paragraph 5 (“Acceptance and Surrender of
Premises”), Tenant shall not be responsible upon Lease Termination to repair said item(s) so noted
by
Initial:
00
Xxxxxxxx 0
Xxxxxxxx. Xxxxxxxx shall have thirty (30) days thereafter (or longer if necessary, provided
Landlord is diligently pursuing the completion of the same) to complete, at Landlord’s expense, the
“punch list” items without the Effective Date and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent as provided
herein being affected. Landlord’s obligations under this Paragraph shall be of no force and effect
if Tenant shall fail to give any such notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the
Effective Date.
C. Early Entry: Upon receipt of written notice from Landlord (by U.S. Mail, facsimile or
electronic mail) that the Increased Premises is available for Tenant’s entry, Tenant and its agents
and contractors shall be permitted to enter the Increased Premises (as shown in Blue on Exhibit
B) prior to the Effective Date for the purpose of installing at Tenant’s sole cost and expense,
Tenant’s trade fixtures and equipment, telephone equipment, security systems and cabling for
computers. Such entry shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, except
that Tenant shall not be required to pay any Rent on the Increased Premises, provided none of
Tenant’s operating personnel occupy said Increased Premises. Any entry or installation work by
Tenant and its agents in the Increased Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 1.C shall (i) be
undertaken at Tenant’s sole risk, (ii) not interfere with or delay Landlord’s work in the
Increased Premises (if any), and (iii) not be deemed occupancy or possession of the Increased
Premises for purposes of this Amendment. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord
harmless from any and all loss, damage, liability, expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees),
claim or demand of whatsoever character, direct or consequential, including, but without limiting
thereby the generality of the foregoing, injury to or death of persons and damage to or loss of
property arising out of the exercise by Tenant of any early entry right granted hereunder. In the
event Tenant’s work in said Increased Premises delays the completion of the Tenant Improvements to
be provided by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 1.A (“Increased Premises: Tenant Improvements to be
made by Landlord”), or in the event Tenant has not completed construction of its interior
improvements, if any, by the Effective Date, it is agreed between the parties that the Effective
Date is not subject to change. It is the intent of the parties hereto that Tenant’s obligation to
pay Rent on the Increased Premises shall commence on the Effective Date.
2. TERM OF LEASE: It is agreed between the parties that the Term of the Lease shall
be extended for an additional nine (9) month period (the “Extended Term”), and the Lease
Termination Date shall be changed from August 31, 2009 to May 31, 2010.
3. RENT: Effective June 1, 2005, the Gross Rent rate shall no longer be applicable;
therefore, Lease Paragraph 4 (“Rent”) as amended by Paragraph 2 (“Rent”) of Amendment No. 3 is
amended as follows:

Basic Rent”) of the Lease and as amended by Paragraph 2.A (“Rent: Gross Rent for Extended Term”) of

Tenant shall be responsible for calculating the monthly Management Fee based on the Basic Rent
schedule shown in Lease Paragraph 4.A (“Rent: Basic Rent”), and for paying said Management Fee by
the first day of each month during the remaining Term of this Lease. Tenant’s failure to pay the
monthly Management Fee by the due date will result in a Late Charge being assessed pursuant to the
terms of Lease Paragraph 4.C (“Rent: Late Charge”). Said Management Fee shall be paid by Tenant to
A&P Property Management Company at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx

Alterations shall not be valid until such time as said consent is executed by both Landlord and
Tenant and a fully executed copy delivered by Landlord to Tenant (“Consent to Alterations”).
Provided Tenant requests in writing such predetermination from Landlord, said Consent to
Alterations shall specify whether Landlord shall require removal of said Alterations. Any

and mechanics proposed by Tenant to make such Alterations. As a pre-condition to Landlord granting its
consent to any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver plans and specifications for Landlord’s review and
approval, and within five business days of completion of said Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord an original 1/8” scaled sepia or an other electronic format as solely determined by

Premises. All heating, lighting, electrical, air conditioning, security systems, floor to ceiling

property that has become an integral part of the Premises, shall not be deemed trade fixtures.
Tenant agrees that it will not proceed to make such Alterations, without having obtained consent
from Landlord to do so, and until five (5) business days from the receipt of such consent, in order
that Landlord may post appropriate notices to avoid any liability to contractors or material
suppliers for payment for Tenant’s Alterations. Tenant will at all times permit such notices to be
posted and to remain posted until the completion of work. As a condition of Landlord’s Consent to
Alterations to the Premises, after Landlord provides written Consent to Alterations and prior to
any work commencing on the Alterations, Landlord may, at its sole and absolute discretion, require
Tenant to secure and provide to Landlord at Tenant’s own cost and expense, a completion and lien
indemnity letters of credit, satisfactory to Landlord in the amount of one hundred fifty percent

end of the Lease Term, an additional letter of credit in the amount of one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the cost to fund the subsequent cost of the removal of said Alterations and the
restoration of the Premises at the Termination Date (“Letter of Credit B”). Said performance
Letters of Credit shall be kept in place as follows: for Letter of Credit A, for sixty (60) days
after the completion of the original construction of said Alterations; and for Letter of Credit B,
the later of (a) sixty (60) days after the Termination Date or (b) sixty (60) days after the
completion of the restoration work and Tenant has provided Landlord with proof of payment to
respective vendors and copies of recorded full unconditional lien release related to the
Alterations and/or restoration work. Tenant further covenants and agrees that any mechanic’s lien
filed against the Premises for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have
been furnished to Tenant, will be discharged by Tenant, by bond or otherwise, within ten (10) days
after notice of filing thereof, at the cost and expense of Tenant. As a further condition to its
Consent to Alterations to the Premises, Landlord shall require Tenant to pay all expenses in
connection with any and all requests for alterations and additions and Landlord’s Consent to
Alterations related thereto, including but not limited to Landlord’s costs, fees and expenses for
the processing and administration of the consent documentation and Landlord’s attorneys’ fees (if
any). Any exceptions to the foregoing must be made in writing and executed by both Landlord and
Tenant.”

as an operating expense in accordance with standard accounting practices, provided, that such
amortization is not at a rate greater than the anticipated savings in the operating expenses.

with respect to the value, occupancy or use of, all or any portion of the Complex (as now
constructed or as may at any time hereafter be constructed, altered, or otherwise changed) or
Landlord’s interest therein; any improvements located within the Complex (regardless of ownership);
the fixtures, equipment and other property of Landlord, real or personal, that are an integral part
of and located in the Complex; or parking areas, public utilities, or energy within the Complex;
(ii) all charges, levies or fees imposed by reason of environmental regulation or other
governmental control of the Complex and (iii) all costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) incurred by Landlord in reasonably contesting any Real Property Tax and in negotiating with
public authorities as to any Real Property Tax. If at any time during the Term of this Lease the
taxation or assessment of the Complex prevailing as of the Commencement Date of this Lease shall be
altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any Real Property Tax described above there shall be
levied, assessed or imposed (whether by reason of a change in the method of taxation or assessment,
creation of a new tax or charge, or any other cause) an alternate or additional tax or charge (i)
on the value, use or occupancy of the Complex or Landlord’s interest therein or (ii) on or measured
by the gross receipts, income or rentals from the Complex, on Landlord’s business of leasing the
Complex, or computed in any manner with respect to the operation of the Complex, then any such tax
or charge, however designated, shall be included within the meaning of the term “Real Property
Taxes” for purposes of this Lease. If any Real Property Tax is based upon property or rents
unrelated to the Complex, then only that part of such Real Property Tax that is fairly allocable to
the Complex shall be included within the meaning of the term “Real Property Taxes.”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Real Property Taxes” shall not include estate,
inheritance, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state net income tax imposed on
Landlord’s income from all sources.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above , it is agreed that if any special assessments for
capital improvements are assessed, and if Landlord has the option to either pay the entire
assessment in cash or go to bond, and if Landlord elects to pay the entire assessment in cash in
lieu of going to bond, the entire portion of the assessment assigned to Tenant’s Leased Premises
will be prorated over the same period that the assessment would have been prorated had the
assessment gone to bond (including interest) and Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share over the
Term remaining in the Lease (including the Extended Lease Term if said Lease Term is extended for
any reason whatsoever) as Additional Rent on the first day of the remaining months in the Lease
Term (as may be extended).
B. Taxes on Tenant’s Property.
(a) Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten days before delinquency, taxes levied against
any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the Premises. If any such
taxes on Tenant’s personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s
property or if the assessed value of the Premises is increased by the inclusion therein of a value
placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant and if Landlord, after written
notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based on such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the
right to do regardless of the validity thereof,
Initial: |
57
Westport 8
but only under proper protest if requested by
Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand, as the case may be, repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against
Landlord, or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment; provided
that in any such event Tenant shall have the right, in the name of
Landlord and with Landlord’s full cooperation, to bring suit in any court of competent
jurisdiction to recover the amount of such taxes so paid under protest, and any amount so recovered
shall belong to Tenant.
(b) If the Tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed, and/or paid for by Landlord
or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are
assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which standard
office improvements in other space in the Complex are assessed, then the real property taxes and
assessments levied against the Landlord or the Complex by reason of such excess assessed valuation
shall be deemed to be taxies levied against personal property of the Tenant and shall be governed
by the provisions of 13B(a) above. If the records of the County Assessor are available and
sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for determining whether said Tenant improvements are
assessed at a higher valuation than standard office space improvements in other space in the
Complex, such records shall be binding on both the Landlord and the Tenant. If the records of the
County Assessor are not available or sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for making said
determination, the actual cost of construction shall be used.”
11. LIABILITY INSURANCE: Effective June 1, 2005, Lease Paragraph 13 (“Liability
Insurance”) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“13. LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, agrees to keep in force
during the Term of this Lease a policy of commercial general liability insurance with combined
single limit coverage of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence for injuries
to or death of persons occurring in, on, or about the Premises or the Complex and property damage.
Such insurance shall be primary and noncontributory as respects any insurance carried by Landlord.
The policy or policies affecting such insurance, certificates of insurance of which shall be
furnished to Landlord, shall name Landlord, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, as Trustee of the Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx
Separate Property Trust dated July 20, 1977, as amended; the Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx Separate Property
Trust; Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx as an individual; Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, as Trustee under the Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx
Survivor’s Trust dated July 20, 1977, as amended; the Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Survivor’s Trust; Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxx, as an individual; the Xxxxx Private Investment Company-WP, a California Limited
Partnership; Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx Separate Property Trust as general partner under the Xxxxx Private
Investment Company-WP; the Xxxxx Charitable Remainder Trust-WP for Private Charities, as limited
partner under the Xxxxx Private Investment Company-WP; Xxxxx Xxxxxx as Trustee under the Xxxxx
Charitable Remainder Trust-WP for Private Charities; Xxxxx Public Investment Company-WP, a
California Limited Partnership; Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx Separate Property Trust as general partner under
the Xxxxx Public Investment Company-WP; the Xxxxx Charitable Remainder Trust-WP for Public

under the Xxxxx Charitable Remainder Trust-WP for Public Charities; Xxxxx Xxxxxx, as an individual;
and any beneficiaries, trustees and successor trustees, other partners or co-venturers of Landlord
or said trusts as additional insureds (collectively “Landlord Entities”), and shall insure any
liability of the Landlord Entities, contingent or otherwise, as respects acts or omissions of
Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees or otherwise by any conduct or transactions of any of
said persons in or about or concerning the Premises, including any failure of Tenant to observe or
perform any of its

Westport 8
obligations hereunder; shall be issued by an insurance company admitted to
transact business in the State of California; and shall provide that the insurance effected thereby
shall not be canceled, except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant’s
insurance shall be primary as respects to the Landlord Entities, or if excess, shall stand in an
unbroken chain of coverage. In either event, any other
insurance maintained by the Landlord Entities shall be in excess of Tenant’s insurance and shall
not be called upon to contribute with any insurance required to be provided by Tenant. The
required insurance shall be reflected on a certificate of insurance of said policy, which
certificate shall be delivered to Landlord concurrently with Tenant’s return of this executed Lease
to Landlord. If, during the Term of this Lease, in the reasonable considered opinion of Landlord’s
Lender, insurance advisor, or counsel, the amount of insurance described in this Paragraph 15 is
not adequate, Tenant agrees to increase said coverage to such reasonable amount as Landlord’s
Lender, insurance advisor, or counsel shall deem adequate.”
12. PROPERTY INSURANCE: Effective June 1, 2005, Lease Paragraph 15 (“Property
Insurance”) and Paragraph 6 (“Property Insurance”) of Amendment No. 3 shall be deleted in their
entirety and replaced with the following:
“15. PROPERTY INSURANCE. Landlord shall purchase and keep in force, and as
Additional Rent and in accordance with Paragraph 4D of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or
Landlord’s agent if so directed by Landlord) Tenant’s proportionate share (which proportionate
share shall be allocated to the Premises by square footage or other equitable basis, as calculated
by Landlord) of the deductibles on insurance claims and the cost of, policy or policies of
insurance covering loss or damage to the Premises and Complex (excluding routine maintenance and
repairs and incidental damage or destruction caused by accidents or vandalism for which Tenant is
responsible under Paragraph 11) in the amount of the full replacement value thereof, providing
protection against those perils included within the classification of “all risks” insurance and
flood and/or earthquake insurance, if available, plus a policy of rental income insurance in the
amount of one hundred (100%) percent of twelve (12) months Basic Rent, plus sums paid as Additional
Rent and any deductibles related thereto. If such insurance cost is increased due to Tenant’s use
of the Premises or the Complex, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the full cost of such increase.
Tenant shall have no interest in nor any right to the proceeds of any insurance procured by
Landlord for the Complex.
In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 17, each party to
this Lease hereby waives all rights of recovery against the other party or its officer, employees,
agents and representatives for loss or damage to its property or the property of others under its
control, arising from any cause insured against under the fire and extended coverage (excluding,
however, any loss resulting from Hazardous Material contamination of the Property) required to be
maintained by the terms of this Lease to the extent full reimbursement of the loss/claim is
received by the insured party. Each party required to carry property insurance hereunder shall
cause the policy evidencing such insurance to include a provision permitting such release of
liability (“waiver of subrogation endorsement”); provided, however, that if the insurance policy of
either releasing party prohibits such waiver, then this waiver shall not take effect until consent
to such waiver is obtained. If such waiver is so prohibited, the insured party affected shall
promptly notify the other party thereof. In the event the waivers are issued to the parties and
are not valid under current policies and/or subsequent insurance policies, the non-complying party
will provide, to the other party, thirty (30) days’ advance notification of the cancellation of the
Initial: |

subrogation waiver, in which case neither party will provide such subrogation waiver thereafter and
this paragraph will be null and void. The foregoing waiver of subrogation shall not include any
loss resulting from Hazardous Material contamination of the Property or any insurance coverage
relating thereto.”
13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: Effective June 1, 2005, Lease Paragraph 19
(“Assignment and Subletting”) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“19. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
A. Requirements. Tenant shall not assign, transfer, or hypothecate the leasehold estate under
this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, or any
right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person or entity to occupy or use the
Premises, or any portion thereof, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Landlord
which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the above, in the event Tenant
enters into a merger and/or acquisition agreement whereby fifty percent (50%) or more of Tenant’s
stock and/or assets are transferred to a third party entity (“Change in Control”), said Change in
Control will require Landlord’s consent pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 19.A, and Landlord
may, at Landlord’s option, require that said acquiring entity also be named as a Tenant under this
Lease. Tenant shall not sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, to more than two subtenants at
any one point in time without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld at
Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Tenant’s failure to obtain Landlord’s prior written
consent before entering into any such assignment, transfer and/or subletting shall be considered a
default under this Lease and Landlord shall retain all of its rights under the Lease, including the
right to elect, at Landlord sole and absolute discretion, to terminate either the Lease and/or the
related sublease. As a condition for Landlord granting consent to any subletting, Landlord shall
require that: (i) the sublease be a triple net sublease and that the basic rent due under any such
sublease be no less than the then current market rent for subleases with annual increases at the
then prevailing market rent for subleases; (ii) the sublease shall require that the security
deposit due under the sublease be in the form of a letter of credit drawn upon an institutional
lender acceptable and accessible to Landlord in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord,
with said letter of credit being assignable to Landlord, at no cost to Landlord, upon notice to
said financial institution of a default by Tenant under the Lease; (iii) the sublease shall not
provide for subtenant to have an option to extend the term of the sublease or an option to expand
the sublet space; and (vi) the Tenant shall pay to Landlord, monthly throughout the term of any
approved sublease, fifty percent (50%) of all rents and/or additional consideration due Tenant from
its subtenant in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder for the subleased space
(“Excess Rent”) (with said Excess Rent subject to the terms of Lease Paragraph 4.C (“Late Charge”)
and Lease Paragraph 24 (“Bankruptcy and Default”); provided, however, that before sharing of
payment to Landlord of such Excess Rent, Tenant shall first be entitled to recover from such Excess
Rent the amount of the reasonable leasing commission related to said transaction paid by Tenant to
a third party broker not affiliated with Tenant. Tenant shall, by thirty (30) days written notice,
advise Landlord of its intent to assign or transfer Tenant’s interest in the Lease or sublet the
Premises or any portion thereof for any part of the Term hereof. Within thirty (30) days after
receipt of said written notice, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this Lease
as to the portion of the Premises described in Tenant’s notice on the date specified in Tenant’s
notice by giving written notice of such election to terminate. If no such notice to terminate is
given to Tenant within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant may proceed to locate an acceptable
sublessee, assignee, or other transferee for
Initial: |
60
Westport 8
presentment to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, all
in accordance with the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Paragraph 19. Tenant shall provide
Landlord with (a) a copy of the assignment and/or other transfer agreement and a copy of the
certification of the change in corporate identity from the Secretary of State in the case of an
assignment, or (b) a copy of the sublease in the case of a sublease for Landlord’s review, and upon
Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s request to sublease and/or assign, Tenant
and the assignee, transferee or subtenant shall execute Landlord’s standard written consent.
If Tenant intends to sublet the entire Premises and Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, this
Lease shall be terminated on the date specified in Tenant’s notice. If, however, this Lease shall
terminate pursuant to the foregoing with respect to less than all the Premises, the Rent, as
defined and reserved hereinabove shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis to the number of square feet
retained by Tenant, and this Lease as so amended shall continue in full force and effect and
Landlord, at its cost and expense, shall separately demise the remaining portion of the Premises
leased to Tenant. In the event Tenant is allowed to assign, transfer or sublet the whole or any
part of the Premises, with the prior written consent of Landlord, no assignee, transferee or
subtenant shall assign or transfer this Lease, either in whole or in part, or sublet the whole or
any part of the Premises, without also having obtained the prior written consent of Landlord.
Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall Landlord consent to a sub-sublease. A consent of
Landlord to one assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other
person shall not release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder or be deemed to be a
consent to any subsequent similar or dissimilar assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting,
occupation or use by any other person. Any such assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting,
occupation or use without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease by
Tenant and shall, at the option of Landlord exercised by written notice to Tenant, terminate this
Lease. The leasehold estate under this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest therein, be
assignable for any purpose by operation of law without the written consent of Landlord. As a
condition to its consent, Landlord shall require Tenant to pay all expenses in connection with any
and all subleases and/or assignments and/or any amendments related thereto, including but not
limited to Landlord’s fees for the processing and administration of the consent documentation and
Landlord’s attorneys’ fees (if any), and Landlord shall require Tenant’s subtenant, assignee or
transferee (or other assignees or transferees) to assume in writing all of the obligations under
this Lease and for Tenant to remain liable to Landlord under the Lease.
B. Grounds to Refuse Proposed Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant
agree that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to refuse to consent to a proposed assignment,
sublease or other transfer (“Proposed Transfer”) if the Premises or any other portion of the
Property would become subject to additional or different Government Requirements as a direct or
indirect consequence of the Proposed Transfer and/or the Proposed Transferee’s use and occupancy of
the Premises and the Property. However, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, consent to such a
Proposed Transfer where Landlord is indemnified by Tenant and (i) the subtenant or (ii) the
assignee, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord and/or to Landlord’s counsel, by Tenant
and/or Proposed Transferee from and against any and all costs, expenses, obligations and liability
arising out of the Proposed Transfer and/or the Proposed Transferee’s use and occupancy of the
Premises and the Property.
C. Voluntary Termination of Lease – Required Sublease Language. Any and all sublease
agreement(s) between Tenant and any and all subtenant(s) (“Subtenant”) (which agreements must be
consented to by Landlord, pursuant to the requirements of this Lease) shall contain the following
language:
Initial: |
61
Westport 8
“If Landlord and Tenant jointly and voluntarily elect, for any reason
whatsoever, to terminate the Master Lease prior to the scheduled Master Lease
termination date, then, if Landlord so elects, this Sublease (if then still in
effect) shall terminate concurrently with the termination of the Master Lease.
Subtenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that (1) the voluntary termination of
the Master Lease by Landlord and Tenant and the
resulting termination of this Sublease shall not give Subtenant any right or
power to make any legal or equitable claim against Landlord, including without
limitation any claim for interference with contract or interference with prospective
economic advantage, and (2) Subtenant hereby waives any and all rights it may have
under law or at equity against Landlord to challenge such an early termination of
the Sublease, and unconditionally releases and relieves Landlord, and its officers,
directors, employees and agents, from any and all claims, demands, and/or causes of
action whatsoever (collectively, “Claims”), whether such matters are known or
unknown, latent or apparent, suspected or unsuspected, foreseeable or unforeseeable,
which Subtenant may have arising out of or in connection with any such early
termination of this Sublease. Subtenant knowingly and intentionally waives any and
all protection which is or may be given by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code
which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the
creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the
release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with
debtor.
The term of this Sublease is therefore subject to early termination.
Subtenant’s initials here below evidence (a) Subtenant’s consideration of and
agreement to this early termination provision, (b) Subtenant’s acknowledgment that,
in determining the net benefits to be derived by Subtenant under the terms of this
Sublease, Subtenant has anticipated the potential for early termination, and (c)
Subtenant’s agreement to the general waiver and release of Claims above.

Subtenant | Tenant |
D. State of Incorporation Change; Name Change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
above, Tenant’s re-incorporation in another jurisdiction and/or the act of Tenant changing Tenant’s
legal name shall not be considered an assignment; however, (i) Tenant shall provide Landlord with
notice of such change in Tenant’s name and/or state of incorporation, which notice shall include a
copy of the certification from the Secretary of State and (ii) Tenant and Landlord shall execute
Landlord’s standard acknowledgement for any such change in Tenant’s name and/or state of
incorporation.
E. Permitted Transfers. In addition to and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Paragraph 19.A above, and provided Tenant is not in default of this Lease beyond the applicable
cure period, Landlord hereby agrees to: (1) consent to Tenant’s assigning or subletting said Lease
to: (i) any
Initial: |

Westport 8
parent or subsidiary corporation, or corporation with which Tenant merges or
consolidates provided that (a) said affiliate or successor owns all or substantially all of the
assets of Tenant, (b) the net worth of said parent or subsidiary corporation, or said corporation
has a net worth equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant (x) at the time of Lease execution
or (y) at the time of such assignment, merger, or consolidation, whichever is greater (collectively
“Permitted Transfers”), and (c) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least thirty (30) days
prior to the effective date of the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization; or
(ii) any third party or entity to whom Tenant, as an ongoing concern, sells all or substantially
all of its assets; provided that (a) said affiliate or successor owns all or
substantially all of the assets of Tenant, (b) the net worth of the resulting or acquiring
corporation has a net worth after the merger, consolidation or acquisition equal to or greater than
the net worth of Tenant (x) at the time of Lease execution or (y) at the time of such merger,
consolidation or acquisition, whichever is greater (collectively “Permitted Transfers”), and (c)
Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of
the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization; and (2) waive its right to
terminate the Lease due to a Permitted Transfer. No such assignment or subletting will release the
Tenant from its liability and responsibility under this Lease to the extent Tenant continues in
existence following such transaction. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be required to (a)
give Landlord written notice prior to such assignment or subletting to any party as described in
(i) and (ii) above, (b) execute Landlord’s consent document prepared by Landlord reflecting the
assignment or subletting and (c) pay Landlord’s costs for processing said Consent prior to the
effective date of said assignment or sublease. Nothing herein shall be deemed to permit (i) any
assignee to further assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises or (ii) any
subtenant to assign its interest in the sublease to any other party without Landlord’s prior
written consent.”
14. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Effective June 1, 2005, Lease Paragraph 53 (“Hazardous
Materials”) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“53. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Landlord and Tenant agree as follows with respect to the
existence or use of “Hazardous Materials” (as defined herein) on, in, under or about the Premises
and real property located beneath said Premises and the common areas of the Complex (hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Property”):
A. As used herein, the term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any material, waste, chemical,
mixture or byproduct which is or hereafter is defined, listed or designated under Environmental
Laws (defined below) as a pollutant, or as a contaminant, or as a toxic or hazardous substance,
waste or material, or any other unwholesome, hazardous, toxic, biohazardous, or radioactive
material, waste, chemical, mixture or byproduct, or which is listed, regulated or restricted by any
Environmental Law (including, without limitation, petroleum hydrocarbons or any distillates or
derivatives or fractions thereof, polychlorinated biphenyls, or asbestos). As used herein, the
term “Environmental Laws” shall mean any applicable Federal, State of California or local
government law (including common law), statute, regulation, rule, ordinance, permit, license,
order, requirement, agreement, or approval, or any determination, judgment, directive, or order of
any executive or judicial authority at any level of Federal, State of California or local
government (whether now existing or subsequently adopted or promulgated) relating to pollution or
the protection of the environment, ecology, natural resources, or public health and safety.
Initial: |
63
Westport 8
B. Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s
discretion, prior to the occurrence of any Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities (defined below)
(and Tenant shall first provide Landlord with a list of said materials used and specify the
location in the Premises where said materials are used and stored, the method of storage and
disposal of the same, and a copy of the related permits); provided, however, that Landlord’s
consent shall not be required for normal use in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws of
customary household and office supplies, such as mild cleaners, lubricants and copier toner. As
used herein, the term “Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities” shall mean any and all use,
handling, generation, storage, disposal, treatment, transportation, release, discharge, or emission
of any Hazardous Materials on, in, beneath, to, from, at or about the
Property, or by Tenant or by any of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, vendors,
invitees, visitors or its future subtenants or assignees. Tenant agrees that any and all Tenant’s
Hazardous Materials Activities shall be conducted in strict, full compliance with applicable
Environmental Laws at Tenant’s expense, and shall not result in any contamination of the Property
or the environment. Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with prompt written notice of any spill or
release of Hazardous Materials at the Property during the term of the Lease of which Tenant becomes
aware, and further agrees to provide Landlord with prompt written notice of any violation of
Environmental Laws in connection with Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities of which Tenant
becomes aware. If Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities involve Hazardous Materials other than
normal use of customary household and office supplies, Tenant also agrees at Tenant’s expense: (i)
to install such Hazardous Materials monitoring, storage and containment devices as Landlord
reasonably deems necessary (Landlord shall have no obligation to evaluate the need for any such
installation or to require any such installation); (ii) provide Landlord with a written inventory
of such Hazardous Materials, including an update of same each year upon the anniversary date of the
Commencement Date of the Lease (“Anniversary Date”); and (iii) on each Anniversary Date, to retain
a qualified environmental consultant, acceptable to Landlord, to evaluate whether Tenant is in
compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws with respect to Tenant’s Hazardous Materials
Activities. Tenant, at its expense, shall submit to Landlord a report from such environmental
consultant which discusses the environmental consultant’s findings within two (2) months of each
Anniversary Date. Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly undertake and complete any and all steps
necessary, and in full compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, to fully correct any and all
problems or deficiencies identified by the environmental consultant, and promptly provide Landlord
with documentation of all such corrections.
C. Prior to termination or expiration of the Lease, Tenant, at its expense, shall (i) properly
remove from the Property all Hazardous Materials which come to be located at the Property in
connection with Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities, and (ii) fully comply with and complete
all facility closure requirements of applicable Environmental Laws regarding Tenant’s Hazardous
Materials Activities, including but not limited to (x) properly restoring and repairing the
Property to the extent damaged by such closure activities, and (y) obtaining from the local Fire
Department or other appropriate governmental authority with jurisdiction a written concurrence that
closure has been completed in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant shall promptly
provide Landlord with copies of any claims, notices, work plans, data and reports prepared,
received or submitted in connection with any such closure activities.
D. If Landlord, in its sole discretion, believes that the Property has become contaminated as
a result of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities, Landlord in addition to any other rights it
may have under this Lease or under Environmental Laws or other laws, may enter upon the Property
and conduct
Initial: |

Westport 8
inspection, sampling and analysis, including but not limited to obtaining and analyzing
samples of soil and groundwater, for the purpose of determining the nature and extent of such
contamination. Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for the costs of such an investigation,
including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees Landlord incurs with respect to such
investigation, that discloses Hazardous Materials contamination for which Tenant is liable under
this Lease. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord may, at its option and in its sole and absolute
discretion, choose to perform remediation and obtain reimbursement for cleanup costs as set forth
herein from Tenant. Any cleanup costs incurred by Landlord as the result of Tenant’s Hazardous
Materials Activities shall be reimbursed by Tenant within thirty (30) days of presentation of
written documentation of the expense to Tenant by Landlord. Such reimbursable costs shall include,
but not be limited to, any reasonable consultants’ and attorneys’ fees
incurred by Landlord. Tenant shall take all actions necessary to preserve any claims it has
against third parties, including, but not limited to, its insurers, for claims related to its
operation, management of Hazardous Materials or contamination of the Property. Except as may be
required of Tenant by applicable Environmental Laws, Tenant shall not perform any sampling,
testing, or drilling to identify the presence of any Hazardous Materials at the Property, without
Landlord’s prior written consent which may be withheld in Landlord’s discretion. Tenant shall
promptly provide Landlord with copies of any claims, notices, work plans, data and reports
prepared, received or submitted in connection with any sampling, testing or drilling performed
pursuant to the preceding sentence.
E. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel acceptable to Landlord, whose consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld) and hold harmless Landlord, its employees, assigns, successors,
successors-in-interest, agents and representatives from and against any and all claims (including
but not limited to third party claims from a private party or a government authority), liabilities,
obligations, losses, causes of action, demands, governmental proceedings or directives, fines,
penalties, expenses, costs (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and
other experts’ fees and costs), and damages, which arise from or relate to: (i) Tenant’s Hazardous
Materials Activities; (ii) any Hazardous Materials contamination caused by Tenant prior to the
Commencement Date of the Lease; or (iii) the breach of any obligation of Tenant under this
Paragraph 53 (collectively, “Tenant’s Environmental Indemnification”). Tenant’s Environmental
Indemnification shall include but is not limited to the obligation to promptly and fully reimburse
Landlord for losses in or reductions to rental income, and diminution in fair market value of the
Property. Tenant’s Environmental Indemnification shall further include but is not limited to the
obligation to diligently and properly implement to completion, at Tenant’s expense, any and all
environmental investigation, removal, remediation, monitoring, reporting, closure activities, or
other environmental response action (collectively, “Response Actions”). Tenant shall promptly
provide Landlord with copies of any claims, notices, work plans, data and reports prepared,
received or submitted in connection with any Response Actions.
F. Landlord hereby informs Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises and
adjacent properties overlie a former solid waste landfill site commonly known as the Westport
Landfill (“Former Landfill”). Landlord further informs Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges,
that (i) prior testing has detected the presence of low levels of certain volatile and
semi-volatile organic compounds and other contaminants in the groundwater, in the leachate from the
landfilled solid waste, and/or in certain surface waters of the Property, as more fully described
in Section 2.3.2 of the report entitled “Revised Discharge Monitoring Plan, Westport Landfill Site,
Redwood City, California” prepared by Geomatrix Consultants, dated May 1996 (“Discharge Plan”),
(ii) methane gas is or may be generated by
Initial: |

the landfilled solid waste (item “i” immediately
preceding and this item “ii” are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Landfill
Contamination”), and (iii) the Premises and the Former Landfill are subject to the California
Regional Water Quality Control Board’s (“Regional Board”) Waste Discharge Requirements Order No.
94-181 (the “Order”). The Order is attached hereto as Exhibit C. As evidenced by their
initials set forth immediately below, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has previously provided
Tenant with copies of the environmental reports listed on Exhibit D, and Tenant
acknowledges that Tenant and Tenant’s experts (if any) have had ample opportunity to review such
