ARTICLE II. PREMISES
SECTION 2.1. LEASED PREMISES. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant
leases from Landlord the premises shown in EXHIBIT A (the "Premises"),
containing approximately the floor area set forth in Item 8 of the Basic
Lease Provisions and known by the suite number identified in Item 1 of the
Basic Lease Provisions. The Premises are located in the building identified
in Item 1 of the Basic Lease Provisions (which together with the underlying
real property, is called the "Building"), and is a portion of the project
shown in EXHIBIT Y (the "Project").
SECTION 2.2. ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES. Tenant acknowledges that
neither landlord nor any representative of Landlord has made any
representation or warranty with respect to the Premises or the Building or
the suitability or fitness of either for any purpose, including without
limitation any representations or warranties regarding zoning or other land
use matters, and that neither Landlord nor any representative of Landlord has
made any representations or warranties regarding (i) what other tenants or
uses may be permitted or intended in the Building and the Project, or (ii)
any exclusivity of use by Tenant with respect to its permitted use of the
Premises as set forth in Item 3 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Tenant further
acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any representative of Landlord has
agreed to undertake any alterations or additions or construct any
improvements to the Premises except as expressly provided in this Lease. The
taking of possession or use of the Premises by Tenant for any purpose other
than construction shall conclusively establish that the Premises and the
Building were in satisfactory condition and in conformity with the provisions
of this Lease in all respects, except for those matters which Tenant shall
have brought to Landlord's attention on a written punch list. The list shall
be limited to any items required to be accomplished by Landlord under the
Work Letter attached as EXHIBIT X, and shall be delivered to Landlord within
thirty (30) days after the term ("Term") of this Lease commences as provided
in Article III below. If no items are required of Landlord under the Work
Letter, by taking possession of the Premises Tenant accepts the improvements
in their existing condition, and waives any right or claim against Landlord
arising out of the condition of the Premises. Nothing contained in this
Section shall affect the commencement of the Term or the obligation of Tenant
to pay rent. Landlord shall diligently complete all punch list items of which
it is notified as provided above.
In addition to Landlord's obligations under the Work Letter attached
hereto as EXHIBIT X, Landlord warrants the good working order of the existing
HVAC, plumbing, lighting, electrical, sewer and life safety systems serving
the Premises for a period of thirty (30) days following the Commencement
Date. In the event Tenant provides Landlord with written notice of any
necessary repairs to such systems within such thirty (30) day period,
Landlord shall promptly make such repairs as may be necessary to place the
system in question in good working order.
SECTION 2.3. BUILDING NAME AND ADDRESS. Tenant shall not utilize any
name selected by Landlord from time to time for the Building and/or the
Project as any part of Tenant's corporate or trade name. Landlord shall have
the right to change the name, address, number or designation of the Building
or Project without liability to Tenant.
ARTICLE III. TERM
SECTION 3.1. GENERAL. The Term shall be for the period shown in Item
5 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2
below, the Term shall commence ("Commencement Date") on the earlier of (a)
the date upon which Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant
with the Tenant Improvements (as defined in the Work Letter attached hereto)
substantially completed (which date shall be no earlier then February 1,
2000), or (b) the date Tenant acquires possession or commences use of the
Premises for any purpose other than construction of Tenant Improvements by
Tenant under the Work Letter. Within ten (10) days after possession of the
Premises is tendered to Tenant, the parties shall memorialize on a form
provided by Landlord the actual Commencement Date and the expiration date
("Expiration Date") of this Lease. Tenant's failure to execute that form
shall not affect the validity of Landlord's determination of those dates.
SECTION 3.2. DELAY IN POSSESSION. If Landlord, for any reason
whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before
the Estimated Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable nor
shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any resulting loss or damage. However,
Tenant shall not be liable for any rent and the Commencement Date shall not
occur until Landlord delivers possession of the Premises and the Premises are
in fact available for Tenant's occupancy with any Tenant Improvements that
have been approved as per Section 3.1(a) above, except that if Landlord's
failure to so deliver possession on the Estimated Commencement Date is
attributable to any action or inaction by Tenant (including without
limitation any Tenant Delay described in the Work Letter attached w this
Lease), then the Commencement Date shall not be advanced to the date on which
possession of the Premises is tendered to Tenant, and Landlord shall be
entitled to full performance by Tenant (including the payment of rent) from
the date Landlord would have been able to deliver the Premises to Tenant but
for Tenant's delay(s).
SECTION 3.3. RIGHT TO EXTEND THIS LEASE. Provided that Tenant is not
in default under any provision of this Lease, either at the lime of exercise
of the extension right granted herein or at the time of
3
the commencement of such extension, and provided further that Tenant is
occupying the entire Premises and has not assigned or sublet any of its
interest in this Lease, Tenant may extend the Term of this Lease for one (1)
period of sixty (60) months. Tenant shall exercise its right to extend the
Term by and only by delivering to Landlord, not less than six (6) months or
more than nine (9) months prior to the expiration date of the Term, Tenant's
irrevocable written notice of its commitment to extend (the "Commitment
Notice"). Thc Basic Rent payable under the Lease during any extension of the
Term shall be determined as provided in the following provisions.
If Landlord and Tenant have not by then been able to agree upon the
Basic Rent for the extension of the Term, then within one hundred twenty
(120) and ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date of the Term, Landlord
shall notify Tenant in writing of the Basic Rent that would reflect the
prevailing market rental rate for a 60-month renewal of comparable space in
the Project (together with any increases thereof during the extension period)
as of the commencement of the extension period ("Landlord's Determination").
Should Tenant disagree with the Landlord's Determination, then Tenant shall,
not later than twenty (20) days thereafter, notify Landlord in writing of
Tenant's determination of those rental terms ("Tenant's Determination"). In
no event, however, shall Landlord's Determination or Tenant's Determination
be less than the Basic Rent payable by Tenant during the final month of the
initial Term. Within ten (10) days following delivery of the Tenant's
Determination, the parties shall attempt to agree on an appraiser to
determine the fair market rental. If the parties are unable to agree in that
time, then each party shall designate an appraiser within ten (10) days
thereafter. Should either party fail to so designate an appraiser within that
time, then the appraiser designated by the other party shall determine the
fair market rental. Should each of the parties timely designate an appraiser,
then the two appraisers so designated shall appoint a third appraiser who
shall, acting alone, determine the fair market rental for the Premises. Any
appraiser designated hereunder shall have an MAI certification with not less
than five (5) years experience in the valuation of commercial industrial
buildings in the vicinity of the Project.
Within thirty (30) days following the selection of the appraiser and
such appraiser's receipt of the Landlord's Determination and the Tenant's
Determination, the appraiser shall determine whether the rental rate
determined by Landlord or by Tenant more accurately reflects the fair market
rental rate for the 60-month renewal of the Lease for the Premises, as
reasonably extrapolated to the commencement of the extension period.
Accordingly, either the Landlord's Determination or the Tenant's
Determination shall be selected by the appraiser as the fair market rental
rate for the extension period. In making such determination, the appraiser
shall consider rental comparables for the Project (provided that if there are
an insufficient number of comparables within the project, the appraiser shall
consider rental comparables for similarly improved space within the vicinity
of the Project with appropriate adjustment for location and quality of
project), but the appraiser shall not attribute any factor for market tenant
improvement allowances or brokerage commissions in making its determination
of the fair market rental rate. At any time before the decision of the
appraiser is rendered, either xxxxx may, by written notice to the other
party, accept the rental terms submitted by the other party, in which event
such terms shall be deemed adopted as the agreed fair market rental. The fees
of the appraiser(s) shall be borne entirely by the party whose determination
of the fair market rental rate was not accepted by the appraiser.
Within twenty (20) days after the determination of the fair market
rental, Landlord shall prepare an appropriate amendment to this Lease for the
extension period, and Tenant shall execute and return same to Landlord within
twenty (20) days. Should the fair market rental not be established by the
commencement of the extension period, then Tenant shall continue paying rent
at the rate in effect during the last month of the initial Term, and a lump
sum adjustment shall be made promptly upon the determination of such new
rental.
If Tenant falls to timely comply with any of the provisions of this
paragraph, Tenant's right to extend the Term shall be extinguished and the
Lease shall automatically terminate as of the expiration xxxx of the Term,
without any extension and without any liability to Landlord. Any attempt to
assign or transfer any right or interest created by this paragraph shall be
void from its inception. Tenant shall have no other right to extend the Term
beyond the single sixty (60) month extension period created by this
paragraph. Unless agreed to in a writing signed by Landlord and Tenant, any
extension of the Term, whether created by an amendment to this Lease or by a
holdover of the Premises by Tenant, or otherwise, shall be deemed a part of,
and not in addition to, any duly exercised extension period permitted by this
paragraph.
ARTICLE IV. RENT AND OPERATING EXPENSES
SECTION 4.1. BASIC RENT. From and after the Commencement Date,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord without deduction or offset, Basic Rent for the
Premises in the total amount shown (including subsequent adjustments, if any)
in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions. Any rental adjustment shown in Item
6 shall be deemed to occur on the specified monthly anniversary of the
Commencement Date, whether or not that date occurs at the end of a calendar
month. The rent shall be due and payable in advance commencing on the
Commencement Date (as prorated for any partial month) and continuing
thereafter on the first day oaf each successive calendar month of the Term.

Share" means that portion of an Operating Expense determined by multiplying
the cost of such item by a fraction, the numerator of which is the floor area
of the Premises and the denominator of which is the total square footage of
the floor area, as of the date on which the computation is made, to be
charged with such Operating Expense.
(b) Commencing prior to the start of the first full
"Expense Recovery Period" (as defined below) of the Lease, and prior to the
start of each full or partial Expense Recovery Period thereafter, Landlord
shall give Tenant a written estimate of the amount of Tenant's Share of
Operating Expenses for the Expense Recovery Period. Tenant shall pay the
estimated amounts to Landlord in equal monthly installments, in advance, with
Basic Rent. If Landlord has not furnished its written estimate for any
Expense Recovery Period by the time set forth above, Tenant shall continue to
pay cost reimbursements at the rates established for the prior Expense
Recovery Period, if any; provided that when the new estimate is delivered to
Tenant, Tenant shall, at the next monthly payment date, pay any accrued cost
reimbursements based upon the new estimate. For purposes hereof, "Expense
Recovery Period" shall mean every twelve month period during the Term (or
portion thereof for the first and last lease years) commencing July 1 and
ending June 30.
(c) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of
each Expense Recovery Period, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement
showing in reasonable detail the actual or prorated Operating Expenses
incurred by Landlord during the period, and the parties shall within thirty
(30) days thereafter make any payment or allowance necessary to adjust
Tenant's estimated payments, if any, to the actual Tenant's Share as shown by
the annual statement. Any delay or failure by Landlord in delivering any
statement hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to
require Tenant to pay Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses pursuant hereto.
Any amount due Tenant shall be credited against installments next coming due
under this Section 4.2, and any deficiency shall be paid by Tenant together
with the next installment. If Tenant has not made estimated payments during
the Expense Recovery Period, any amount owing by Tenant pursuant to
subsection (a) above shall be paid to Landlord in accordance with Article
XVI. Should Tenant fail to object in writing to Landlord's determination of
actual Operating Expenses within sixty (60) days following delivery of
Landlord's expense statement, Landlord's determination of actual Operating
Expenses for the applicable Expense Recovery Period shall be conclusive and
binding on the parties and any future claims to the contrary shall be barred.
Provided Tenant is not then in default under this Lease beyond any
applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall have the right to have an
independent certified public accountant audit Landlord's Operating Expenses,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof. Thc cost of the audit shall be
borne by Tenant; provided, however, in no even shall such auditor be
compensated by Tenant on a "contingency" basis, or on any other basis tied to
the results of said audit. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of
Tenant's intent to audit Operating Expenses, if at all, within sixty (60)
days following delivery of Landlord's expense statement for the Expense
Recovery Period in question. Following at least ten (10) business days notice
to Landlord, such audit shall be conducted at a mutually agreeable time
during normal business hours at the office of Landlord or its management
agent where records are maintained in Santa Xxxxx County, California.

audit, as well as any compromise, settlement or adjustment reached between
Landlord and Tenant as a result thereof, shall be held in strict confidence
by Tenant and its auditor and, except as may be required pursuant to any
litigation or as may otherwise be required by law, shall not be disclosed to
any third party, directly or indirectly, by Tenant or its auditor or any of
their respective officers, agents or employees. Landlord may require Tenant's
auditor to execute a separate confidentiality agreement affirming the
foregoing as a condition precedent to any audit. If, following Landlord's
review of Tenant's audit, Landlord disputes the same, Landlord shall have the
right, upon written notice to Tenant within a reasonable time following its
receipt of the audit, to contest such audit by demanding binding arbitration
with JAMS Endispute in Santa Xxxxx County, California ("JAMS"). Tenant agrees
to submit to such arbitration upon such written notice from Landlord. Within
ten (10) business days following submission of the dispute by Landlord to
JAMS, JAMS shall designate three (3) arbitrators and each party may, within
five (5) business days thereafter, veto one (1) of the three (3) persons so
designated. If two (2) different designated arbitrators have been vetoed, the
third arbitrator shall hear and decide the matter. Any arbitration pursuant
to this paragraph shall be decided within thirty (30) days of submission to
JAMS. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the
parties. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final, and judgment
may be entered upon it in accordance with applicable law in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. Except by written consent of the person or entity
sought to be joined, no arbitration under this paragraph shall include, by
consolidation, joinder or in any other manner, any person or entity not a
party to this Lease unless (i) such person or entity is substantially
involved in a common question of fact or law, (ii) the presence of such
person or entity is requited if complete relief is to be accorded in the
arbitration, or (iii) the interest or responsibility of such person or entity
in the matter in not insubstantial. All costs associated with the arbitration

determined by the arbitrator. The foregoing agreement to arbitrate shall be
specifically enforceable under prevailing law. In the event that, based on

provided above, the award rendered by the arbitrator), it is determined that
actual Operating Expenses have been overstated by Landlord, then any
overpayment of actual Operating Expenses by Tenant revealed thereby (less any
prior credits or rebates given

becoming due under this Section 4.2 (or, if the Lease has expired or
terminated at the time of such determination, such overpayment (less any
prior credits or rebates given with respect thereto) shall be rebated by
Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days following such determination).
Conversely, in the event that, based on Tenant's audit (and, if the results
thereof are contested by Landlord as provided above, the award rendered by
the arbitrator), it is determined that actual Operating Expenses have been
understated by Landlord, then any deficiencies in the payment of actual
Operating Expenses by Tenant revealed thereby (less any prior payments made
by Tenant with respect thereto) shall be paid by. Tenant together with the
next installment coming due under this Section 4.2 (or, if the Lease has
expired or terminated at the time of such determination, such deficiency
(less any prior payments made by Tenant with respect thereto) shall be paid

(d) Even though the Lease has terminated and the Tenant
has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's
Share of Operating Expenses for file Expense Recovery Period in which the
Lease terminates, Tenant shall upon notice pay the entire increase due over
the estimated expenses paid. Conversely, any overpayment made in the event
expenses decrease shall be rebated by Landlord to Tenant.
(e) If, at any time during any Expense Recovery Period,
any one or more of the Operating Expenses arc increased to a rate(s) or
amount(s) in excess of the rate(s) or amount(s) used in calculating the
estimated expenses for the year, then the estimate of Tenant's Share of
Operating Expenses shall be increased for the month in which such rate(s) or
amount(s) becomes effective and for all succeeding months by an amount equal
to Tenant's Share of the increase. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice
of the amount or estimated amount of the increase, the month in which the
increase will become effective. Tenant's Share thereof and the month for

obligations under Sections 7.1 and 15.3 below, Landlord shall be entitled to
draw upon said letter of credit by the issuance of Landlord's sole written
demand to the issuing financial institution. Any such draw shall be without
waiver of any rights Landlord may have under this Lease or at law or in
equity as a result of the default. If any portion of the letter of credit is

written demand by Landlord restore the letter of credit. Provided that: (i)

(b) Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous
Materials to be brought upon, stored, used, generated, released or disposed
of on, under, from or about the Premises (including without limitation the
soil and groundwater thereunder) without the prior written consent of
Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, without

this Section 5.3 shall apply with respect to Tenant's storage, use and
disposal of all such products. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, place
such conditions as Landlord deems appropriate with respect to any such
Hazardous Materials, and may further require that Tenant demonstrate that any
such Hazardous Materials are necessary or useful to Tenant's business and
will be generated, stored, used and disposed of in a manner that complies
with all applicable laws and regulations pertaining thereto and with good
business practices. Tenant understands that Landlord may utilize an
environmental consultant to assist in determining conditions of approval in
connection with the storage, generation, release, disposal or use of
Hazardous Materials by Tenant on or about the Premises, and/or to conduct
periodic inspections of the storage, generation, use, release and/or disposal
of such Hazardous Materials by Tenant on and from the Premises, and Tenant

Lease, Tenant shall disclose to Landlord in writing the names and amounts of
all Hazardous Materials which were stored, generated, used, released and/or
disposed of on, under or about the Premises for the twelve-month period prior
thereto, and which Tenant desires to store, generate, use, release and/or
dispose of on, under or about the Premises for the succeeding twelve-month

disposal of Hazardous Materials.
(d) Landlord and its agents shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to inspect, sample and/or monitor the Premises and/or the
soil or groundwater thereunder at any time to determine whether Tenant is
complying with the terms of this Section 5.3, and in connection therewith
Tenant shall provide Landlord with full access to all relevant facilities,
records and personnel. If Tenant is not in compliance with any of the
provisions of this Section 5.3, or in the event of a release of any Hazardous
Material on, under or about the Premises caused or permitted by Tenant, its
agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, Landlord and its
agents shall have the right, but not the obligation, without limitation upon
any of Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Lease, to immediately
enter upon the Premises without notice and to discharge Tenant's obligations
under this Section 5.3 at Tenant's expense, including without limitation the
taking of emergency or long-term remedial action. Landlord and its agents
shall endeavor to minimize interference with Tenant's
8
business in connection therewith, but shall not be liable for any such
interference. In addition, Landlord, at Tenant's expense, shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to join and participate in any legal
proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any claims arising out of

agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees of Hazardous Materials
on, under, from or about the Premises.

from or about the Premises or the Project caused or permitted by Tenant or
its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees results in (i)
injury to any person, (ii) injury to or any contamination of the Premises or
the Project, or (iii) injury to or contamination of any real or personal
property wherever situated, Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly take all
actions necessary to return the Premises and the Project and any other
affected real or personal property owned by Landlord to the condition
existing prior to the introduction of such Hazardous Materials and to remedy
or repair any such injury or contamination, including without limitation, any
cleanup, remediation, removal, disposal, neutralization or other treatment of
any such Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall
not, without Landlord's prior written consent, lake any remedial action in
response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials on, under or about the
Premises or the Project or any other affected real or personal property owned
by Landlord or enter into any similar agreement, consent, decree or other
compromise with any governmental agency with respect to any Hazardous
Materials claims; provided however, Landlord's prior written consent shall
not be necessary in the event that the presence of Hazardous Materials on,
under or about the Premises or the Project or any other affected real or
personal property owned by Landlord (i) imposes an immediate threat to the
health, safety or welfare of any individual or (ii) is of such a nature that
an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not possible to obtain
Landlord's consent before taking such action. To the fullest extent permitted
by law, Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless, protect and defend (with
attorneys acceptable to Landlord) Landlord and any successors to all or any
portion of Landlord's interest in the Premises and the Project and any other
real or personal property owned by Landlord from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages, diminution in value, judgments, fines, demands,
claims, recoveries, deficiencies, costs and expenses (including without
limitation attorneys' fees, court costs and other professional expenses),
whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, arising directly or indirectly out of
the use, generation, storage, treatment, release, on- or off-site disposal or
transportation of Hazardous Materials on, into, from, under or about the
Premises, the Building and the Project and any other real or personal
property owned by Landlord caused or permitted by Tenant, its agents,
employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, specifically including without
limitation the cost of any required or necessary repair, restoration, cleanup
or detoxification of the Premises, the Building and the Project and any other
real or personal property owned by Landlord, and the preparation of any
closure or other required plans, whether or not such action is required or
necessary during the Term or after the expiration of this Lease. If Landlord
at any time discovers that Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors,
licensees or invitees may have caused or permitted the release of a Hazardous
Material on, under, from or about the Premises or the Project or any other
real or personal property owned by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Landlord's
request, immediately prepare and submit to Landlord a comprehensive plan,
subject to Landlord's approval, specifying the actions to be taken by Tenant
to return the Premises or the Project or any other real or personal property
owned by Landlord to the condition existing prior to the introduction of such
Hazardous Materials. Upon Landlord's approval of such cleanup plan, Tenant
shall, at its expense, and without limitation of any rights and remedies of
Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity, immediately implement such
plan and proceed to cleanup such Hazardous Materials in accordance with all
applicable laws and as required by such plan and this Lease. The provisions
of this subsection (e) shall expressly survive the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease.
(f) Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby
acknowledges, certain facts relating to Hazardous Materials at the Project
known by Landlord to exist as of the date of this Lease, as more particularly
described in EXHIBIT C attached hereto. Tenant shall have no liability or
responsibility with respect to the Hazardous Materials facts described in
EXHIBIT C, nor with respect to any Hazardous Materials which Tenant proves
were not caused or permitted by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors,
licensees or invitees. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, Tenant
agrees to notify its agents, employees, contractors, licensees, and invitees
of any exposure or potential exposure to Hazardous Materials at the Premises
that Landlord brings to Tenant's attention.

Tenant's proportionate share of the cost of such utilities and services and
Tenant shall pay such amount to Landlord, as an item of additional rent,
within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's statement or invoice

proportionate share of such costs in the manner set forth in Section 4.2.

remodeling and/or alterations, to prevent a public dedication or the accrual
of prescriptive rights, or for any other reason deemed reasonably sufficient

right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that
Landlord may have, to remove or tow away the vehicle involved and charge the
costs to Tenant. Parking within the Common Areas shall be limited to striped

to the attendant fixtures, equipment and Common Areas. Landlord may at any
time relocate or remove any of the various buildings, parking areas, and
other Common Areas, and may add buildings and areas to the Project from time
to time. No change shall entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent or other
claim against Landlord, provided that the change does not deprive Tenant of
reasonable access to or use of the Premises. Landlord shall not make any
material changes to the parking areas unless such changes are otherwise
required by law or are necessitated by any taking by any lawful authority by
exercise of the right of eminent domain (or sold to prevent a taking)
(subject, however, to Tenant's rights under Section 12.3 below) or axe due to

like improvements made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant. When
possible Tenant shall cause its personal property, Above Standard
Improvements and alterations to be assessed and billed separately from the
real property of which the Premises form a part. If any taxes on Tenant's
personal property, Above Standard Improvements and/or alterations are levied
against Landlord or Landlord's property and if Landlord pays the same., or if

unreasonably be withheld in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.1(b).
No assignment (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law) and no
subletting shall be valid or effective without Landlord's prior written

attempted assignment or subletting shall constitute a material default of
this Lease. Landlord shall not be deemed to have given its consent to any
assignment or subletting by any other course of action, including its

not prohibited by provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C, Section 101 et
seq. (the "Bankruptcy Code"), including Section 365(f)(1), Tenant on behalf

assignee of the Trustee for the estate of the bankrupt meets Landlord's
standard for consent as set forth in Section 9.1(b) of this Lease. If this
Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other considerations to be delivered
in
12
connection with the assignment shall be delivered to Landlord, shall be and
remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property
of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy
Code. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to have assumed all of the
obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of the assignment,
and shall upon demand execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument
confirming that assumption.
(b) If Tenant desires to transfer an interest in this Lease, it
shall first notify Landlord of its desire and shall submit in writing to
Landlord: (i) the name and address of the proposed transferee; (ii) the
nature of any proposed subtenant's or assignee's business to be carried on in
the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of any proposed sublease or
assignment, including a copy of the proposed assignment or sublease form;
(iv) evidence of insurance of the proposed assignee or subtenant complying
with the requirements of EXHIBIT D hereto; (v) a completed Environmental
Questionnaire from the proposed assignee or subtenant; and (vi) any other
information requested by Landlord and reasonably related to the transfer.
Except as provided in Subsection (c) of this Section, Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent, provided: (1) the use of the Premises will
be consistent with the provisions of this Lease and with Landlord's
commitment to other tenants of the Building and Project; (2) the proposed
assignee or subtenant has not been required by any prior landlord, lender or
governmental authority to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous
Materials contaminating a property arising out of the proposed aasignee's or
subtenant's actions or use of the property in question and is not subject to
any enforcement order issued by any governmental authority in connection with
the use, disposal or storage of a Hazardous Material; (3) at Landlord's
election, insurance requirements shall be brought into conformity with
Landlord's then current leasing practice; (4) any proposed subtenant or
assignee demonstrates that it is financially responsible by submission to
Landlord of all reasonable information as Landlord may request concerning the
proposed subtenant or assignee, including, but not limited to, a balance
sheet of the proposed subtenant or assignee as of a date within ninety (90)
days of the request for Landlord's consent, statements of income or profit
and loss of the proposed subtenant or assignee for the two-year period
preceding the request for Landlord's consent, and/or a certification signed
by the proposed subtenant or assignee that it has not been evicted or been in
arrears in rent at any other leased premises for the 3-year period preceding
the request for Landlord's consent; (5) any proposed subtenant or assignee
demonstrates to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction a record of successful
experience in business; (6) the proposed assignee or subtenant is not a
prospect with whom Landlord is negotiating to become a tenant at the Building
or Project; and (7) the proposed transfer will not impose additional burdens
or adverse tax effects on Landlord. If Tenant has any exterior sign rights
under this Lease, such rights are personal to Tenant and may not be assigned
or transferred to any assignee of this Lease or subtenant of the Premises
without Landlord's prior written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord's
sole and absolute discretion.
If Landlord consents to the proposed transfer, Tenant may within
ninety (90) days after the date of the consent effect the transfer upon the
terms described in the information furnished to Landlord; provided that any
material change in the terms shall be subject to Landlord's consent as set
forth in this Section. Landlord shall approve or disapprove any requested
transfer within fifteen (15) days following receipt of Tenant's written
request, the information set forth above, and the fee set forth below.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (b) above, in lieu
of consenting to a proposed assignment or subletting, Landlord may elect to
(i) sublease the Premises (or the portion proposed to be subleased), or take
an assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease, upon the same terms as
offered to the proposed subtenant or assignee (excluding terms relating to
the purchase of personal property, the use of Tenant's name or the
continuation of Tenant's business), or (ii) terminate this Lease as to the
portion of the Premises proposed to be subleased or assigned with a
proportionate abatement in the rent payable under this Lease, effective on
the date that the proposed sublease or assignment would have become
effective. Landlord may thereafter, at its option, assign or re-let any space
so recaptured to any third party, including without limitation the proposed
transferee of Tenant Landlord's rights under this Subsection (c) shall not
apply to any subletting for less than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises or
any subletting having a sublease term (including any extensions) that is less
than fifty percent (50%) of the then-remaining Term.
(d) Tenant agrees that fifty percent (50%) of any amounts paid by
the assignee or subtenant, however described, in excess of (i) the Basic Rent
payable by Tenant hereunder, or in the case of a sublease of a portion of the
Premises, in excess of the Basic Rent reasonably allocable to such portion,
plus (ii) Tenant's direct out-of-pocket costs which Tenant certifies to
Landlord have been paid to provide occupancy related services to such
assignee or subtenant of a nature commonly provided by landlords of similar
space, shall be the property of Landlord and such amounts shall be payable
directly to Landlord by the assignee or subtenant or, at Landlord's option,
by Tenant. At Landlord's request, a written agreement shall be entered into
by and among Tenant, Landlord and the proposed assignee or subtenant
confirming the requirements of this subsection.
(e) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with its review and
evaluation of any proposed assignment or subletting, which reimbursement
shall be made by Tenant to Landlord within fifteen (15) days following
Landlord's written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.2. EFFECT OF TRANSFER. No subletting or assignment, even
with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay
rent and to perform all its other obligations under this Lease, Moreover,
Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless, as provided in Section
10.3, for any act or omission by an assignee or subtenant. Each assignee,
other than Landlord, shall be deemed to assume all obligations of Tenant
under this Lease and shall be liable jointly and severally with Tenant for
the payment of all rent, and for the due performance of all of Tenant's
obligations, under this Lease. No transfer shall be binding on Landlord
unless any document memorializing the transfer is delivered to Landlord and
both the assignee/subtenant and Tenant deliver to Landlord an executed
consent to transfer instrument prepared by Landlord and consistent with the
requirements of this Article. The acceptance by Landlord of any payment due
under this Lease from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by
Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any transfer.
Consent by Landlord to one or more transfers shall not operate as a waiver or
estoppel to the future enforcement by Landlord of its rights under this Lease.
SECTION 9.3. SUBLEASE REQUIREMENTS. The following terms and
conditions shall apply to any subletting by Tenant of all or any part of the
Premises and shall be deemed included in each sublease:
(a) Each and every provision contained in this Lease (other than
with respect to the payment of rent hereunder) is incorporated by reference
into and made a part of such sublease, with "Landlord" hereunder meaning the
sublandlord therein and "Tenant" hereunder meaning the subtenant therein.
(b) Tenant hereby irrevocably assigns to Landlord all of Tenant's
interest in all rentals and income arising from any sublease of the Premises,
and Landlord may collect such rent and income and apply same toward Tenant's
obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that until a default occurs
in the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall
have the right to receive and collect the sublease rentals. Landlord shall
not, by reason of this assignment or the collection of sublease rentals, be
deemed liable to the subtenant for the performance of any of Tenant's
obligations under the sublease. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs any subtenant, upon receipt of a written notice from Landlord stating
that an uncured default exists in the performance of Tenant's obligations
under this Lease, to pay to Landlord all sums then and thereafter due under
the sublease. Tenant agrees that the subtenant may rely on that notice
without any duty of further inquiry and notwithstanding any notice or claim
by Tenant to the contrary. Tenant shall have no right or claim against the
subtenant or Landlord for any rentals so paid to Landlord.
(c) In the event of the termination of this Lease, Landlord may, at
its sole option, take over Tenant's entire interest in any sublease and, upon
notice from Landlord, the subtenant shall attorn to Landlord. In no event,
however, shall Landlord be liable for any previous act or omission by Tenant
under the sublease or for the return of any advance rental payments or
deposits under the sublease that have not been actually delivered to
Landlord, nor shall Landlord be bound by any sublease modification executed
without Landlord's consent or for any advance rental payment by the subtenant
in excess of one month's rent. The general provisions of this Lease,
including without limitation those pertaining to insurance and
indemnification, shall be deemed incorporated by reference into the sublease
despite the termination of this Lease.
SECTION 9.4. CERTAIN TRANSFERS. The sale of all or substantially all
of Tenant's assets (other than bulk sales in the ordinary course of business)
or, if Tenant is a corporation, an unincorporated association, or a
partnership, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock or
interest in such corporation, association, or partnership in the aggregate of
fifty percent (50%) or more (except for publicly traded shares of stock
constituting a transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more in the aggregate)
shall be deemed an assignment within the meaning and provisions of this
Article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's consent shall not be
required for the assignment of this Lease as a result of a merger by Tenant
with or into another entity, so long as (i) the net worth of the successor
entity after such merger is at least equal to the greater of the net worth of
Tenant as of the execution of this Lease by Landlord or the net worth of
Tenant immediately prior to the date of such merger, evidence of which,
satisfactory to Landlord, shall be presented to Landlord prior to such
merger, (ii) Tenant shall provide to Landlord, prior to such merger, written
notice of such merger and such assignment documentation and other information
as Landlord may request in connection therewith, and (iii) all of the other
terms and requirements of this Article shall apply with respect to such

portion of the risks for which Landlord elects to provide insurance hereunder.
SECTION 10.3. TENANT'S INDEMNITY. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, Tenant shall defend, indemnify, protect, save and hold harmless
Landlord, its agents, and any and all affiliates of Landlord, including,

controlled by or under common control with Landlord, from and against any and
all claims, liabilities, costs or expenses arising either before or after the
Commencement Date from Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, the
Building or the Common Areas, or from the conduct of its business, or from
any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant or its
agents, employees, invitees or licensees in or about the Premises, the
Building or the Common Areas, or from any default in the performance of any
obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under this Lease, or from any act
or negligence of Tenant or its agents, employees, visitors, patrons, guests,
invitees or licensees. Landlord may, at its option, require Tenant to assume
Landlord's defense in any action covered by this Section through counsel

survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

to Tenant, its employees, agents and invitees, and Tenant hereby waives all
claims against Landlord for loss of or damage to any property, or loss or
interruption of business or income, or any other loss, cost, damage, injury
or liability whatsoever (including without limitation any consequential
damages and lost profit or opportunity costs) resulting from, but not limited
to, Acts of God, acts of civil disobedience or insurrection, acts or
omissions of other tenants within the Project or their agents, employees,
contractors, guests or invitees, fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam,
gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak or flow from or into any part
of the Premises or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects
of time pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning,
electrical works or other fixtures in the Building, whether the damage or
injury results from conditions arising in the Premises or in other portions
of the Building. It is understood that any such condition may require the
temporary evacuation or closure of all or a portion of the Building. Except
as provided in Sections 11.1 and 12.1 below, there shall be no abatement of
rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference
with Tenant's business (including without limitation consequential damages
and lost profit or opportunity costs) arising from the making of any repairs,
alterations or improvements to any portion of the Building, including repairs
to the Premises, nor shall any related activity by Landlord constitute an
actual or constructive eviction; provided, however, that in making repairs,
alterations or improvements, Landlord shall interfere as little as reasonably
practicable with the conduct of Tenant's business in the Premises. Neither
Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for interference with light or other
similar intangible interests. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in
case of fire or accident in the Premises, the Building or the Project and of
defects in any improvements or equipment.
SECTION 10.5. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant each hereby
waives all rights of recovery against the other and the other's agents on
account of loss and damage occasioned to the property of such waiving party
to the extent only that such loss or damage is required to be insured against
under any "all risk" property insurance policies required by this Article X;
provided however, that (i) the foregoing waiver shall not apply to the extent
of Tenant's obligations to pay deductibles under any such policies and this
Lease, and (ii) if any loss is due to the act, omission or negligence or
willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, guests or
invitees, Tenant's liability insurance shall be primary and shall cover all
losses and damages prior to any other insurance hereunder. By this waiver it
is the intent of the parties that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable
to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the
other party for any loss or damage insured against under any "all-risk"
property insurance policies required by this Article, even though such loss
or damage might be occasioned by the negligence of such party, its agents,
employees, contractors, guests or invitees. The provisions of this Section
shall not limit {he indemnification provisions elsewhere contained in this
Lease.
ARTICLE XI. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
SECTION 11.1. RESTORATION.
(a) If the Building of which the Premises are a part is
damaged, Landlord shall repair that damage as soon as reasonably possible, at
its expense, unless: (i) Landlord reasonably determines that the cost of
repair is not covered by Landlord's fire and extended coverage insurance plus
such additional amounts Tenant elects, at its option, to contribute,
excluding however the deductible (for which Tenant shall be responsible for
Tenant's Share); (ii) Landlord reasonably determines that the Premises
cannot, with reasonable diligence, be fully repaired by Landlord (or cannot
be safely repaired because of the presence of hazardous factors, including
without limitation Hazardous Materials, earthquake faults, and other similar
dangers) within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of the damage;
(iii) an event of default by Tenant has occurred and is continuing at the
time of such damage; or (iv) the damage occurs during the final twelve (12)
months of the Term. Should Landlord elect not to repair the damage for one of
the preceding reasons, Landlord shall so notify Tenant in writing within
sixty (60) days after the damage occurs and this Lease shall terminate as of
the date of that notice.
15
(b) Unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease in
accordance with subsection (a) above, this Lease shall continue in effect for
the remainder of the Term; provided that so long as Tenant is not in default
under this Lease, if the damage is so extensive that Landlord reasonably
determines that the Premises cannot, with reasonable diligence, be repaired
by Landlord (or cannot be safely repaired because of the presence of
hazardous factors, earthquake faults, and other similar dangers) so as to
allow Tenant's substantial use and enjoyment of the Premises within two
hundred seventy (270) days after the date of damage, then Tenant may elect to
terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within the sixty (60) day
period stated in subsection (a).
(c) Commencing on the date of any damage to the Building,
and ending on the sooner of the date the damage is repaired or the date this
Lease is terminated, the rental to be paid under this Lease shall be abated
in the same proportion that the floor area of the Premises that is rendered
unusable by the damage from time to time bears to the total floor area of the
Premises, but only to the extent that any business interruption insurance
proceeds are received by Landlord therefor from Tenant's insurance described
in EXHIBIT D.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a), (b)
and (c) of this Section, and subject to the provisions of Section 10.5 above,
the cost of any repairs shall be borne by Tenant, and Tenant shall not be
entitled to rental abatement or termination rights, if the damage is due to
the fault or neglect of Tenant or its employees, subtenants, invitees or
representatives. In addition, the provisions of this Section shall not be
deemed to require Landlord to repair any improvements or fixtures that Tenant
is obligated to repair or insure pursuant to any other provision of this
Lease.
(e) Tenant shall fully cooperate with Landlord in removing
Tenant's personal property and any debris from the Premises to facilitate all
inspections of the Premises and the making of any repairs. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Landlord in good faith
believes there is a risk of injury to persons or damage to property from
entry into the Building or Premises following any damage or destruction
thereto, Landlord may restrict entry into the Building or the Premises by
Tenant, its employees, agents and contractors in a non-discriminatory manner,
without being deemed to have violated Tenant's rights of quiet enjoyment to,
or made an unlawful detainer of, or evicted Tenant from, the Premises. Upon
request, Landlord shall consult with Tenant to determine if there are safe
methods of entry into the Building or the Premises solely in order to allow
Tenant to retrieve files, data in computers, and necessary inventory, subject
however to all indemnities and waivers of liability from Tenant to Landlord
contained in this Lease and any additional indemnifies and waivers of
liability which Landlord may require.
SECTION 11.2. LEASE GOVERNS. Tenant agrees that the provisions of
this Lease, including without limitation Section 11.1, shall govern any
damage or destruction and shall accordingly supersede any contrary statute or
rule of law.

of the Premises is taken by any lawful authority by exercise of the right of
eminent domain, or sold to prevent a taking, either Tenant or Landlord may
terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be
surrendered to the authority. In the event title to a portion of the Building
or Project, other than the Premises, is taken or sold in lieu of taking, and
if Landlord elects to restore the Building in such a way as to alter the
Premises materially, either party may terminate this Lease, by written notice
to the other party, effective on the date of vesting of title. In the event
neither party has elected to terminate this Lease as provided above, then
Landlord shall promptly, after receipt of a sufficient condemnation award,
proceed to restore the Premises to substantially their condition prior to the
taking, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant for the rent
corresponding to the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of
which, Tenant is deprived on account of the taking and restoration. In the
event of a taking, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the
condemnation award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant;
provided that nothing in this Section shall be deemed to give Landlord any
interest in, or prevent Tenant from seeking any award against the taking
authority for, the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to
Tenant or for relocation or business interruption expenses recoverable from
the taking authority.
SECTION 12.2. TEMPORARY TAKING. No temporary taking of the Premises
shall terminate this Lease or give Tenant any right to abatement of rent, and
any award specifically attributable to a temporary taking of the Premises
shall belong entirely to Tenant. A temporary taking shall be deemed to be a
taking of the use or occupancy of the Premises for a period of not to exceed
one hundred eighty (180) days.
SECTION 12.3. TAKING OF PARKING AREA. In the event there shall be a
taking of the parking area such that Landlord can no longer provide
sufficient parking to comply with this Lease, Landlord may substitute
reasonably equivalent parking in a location reasonably close to the Building;
provided that if Landlord falls [to make that substitution within sixty (60)
days following the taking and if the taking materially impairs Tenant's use
and enjoyment of the Premises, Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease
by written notice to Landlord. If this Lease is not so terminated by Tenant,
there shall be no abatement of rent and this Lease shall continue in effect.
16
ARTICLE XIII. SUBORDINATION; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE; FINANCIALS

shall be either superior or subordinate to all ground or underlying leases,
mortgages and deeds of trust, if any, which may hereafter affect the
Building, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, repots and
extensions thereof; provided, that so long as Tenant is not in default under
this Lease, this Lease shall not be terminated or Tenant's quiet enjoyment of
the Premises disturbed in the event of termination of any such ground or
underlying lease, or the foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust,
to which Tenant has subordinated this Lease pursuant to this Section. In the
event of a termination or foreclosure, Tenant shall become a tenant of and
attorn to the successor-in-interest to Landlord upon the same terms and
conditions as are contained in this Lease, and shall execute any instrument
reasonably required by Landlord's successor for that purpose. Tenant shall
also, upon written request of Landlord, execute and deliver all instruments
as may be required from time to time to subordinate the rights of Tenant
under this Lease to any ground or underlying lease or to the lien of any
mortgage or deed of trust (provided that such instruments include the
nondisturbance and attornment provisions set forth above), or, if requested
by Landlord, to subordinate, in whole or in part, any ground or underlying
lease or the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust to this Lease.
SECTION 13.2. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.
(a) Tenant shall, at any time upon not less than ten (10)
days prior written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord, in any form that Landlord may reasonably require, a statement in
writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of the modification and
certifying that this Lease, as modified, is in full force and effect) and the
dates to which the rental, additional rent and other charges have been paid
in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that, to Tenant's knowledge, there
are no uncured defaults on the part of Landlord, or specifying each default
if any are claimed, and (iii) setting forth all further information that
Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant's statement may be relied upon by any
prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Building
or Project.

Landlord, Tenant's failure to deliver any estoppel statement within the
provided time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that (i) this Lease is in full
force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by
Landlord, (ii) there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and
(iii) not more than one month's rental has been paid in advance.

recent prior year (collectively, the "Statements"), which Statements shall
accurately and completely reflect the financial condition of Tenant. Landlord
agrees that it will keep the Statements confidential, except that Landlord
shall have the right to deliver the same to any proposed purchaser of the
Building or Project, and to any encumbrancer of all or any portion of the
Building or Project.
(b) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is relying on the
Statements in its determination to enter into this Lease, and Tenant
represents to Landlord, which representation shall be deemed made on the date
of this Lease and again on the Commencement Date, that no material change in
the financial condition of Tenant, as reflected in the Statements, has
occurred since the date Tenant delivered the Statements to Landlord. The
Statements are represented and warranted by Tenant to be correct and to
accurately and fully reflect Tenant's true financial condition as of the date
of submission by any Statements to Landlord.
ARTICLE XIV. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
SECTION 14.1. TENANT'S DEFAULTS. In addition to any other event of
default set forth in this Lease, the occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute a default by Tenant:
(a) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or
additional rent required to be made by Tenant, as and when due, where the
failure continues for a period of three (3) days after written notice from
Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that any such notice shall he in lieu
of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of
Civil Procedure Section 1161 and 1161(a) as amended. For purposes of these
default and remedies provisions, the term "additional rent" shall be deemed
to include all amounts of any type whatsoever other than Basic Rent to be
paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
(b) Assignment, sublease, encumbrance or other transfer of
the Lease by Tenant, either voluntarily or by operation of law, whether by
judgment, execution, transfer by intestacy or testacy, or other means,
without the prior written consent of Landlord.
17
(c) The discovery by Landlord that any financial statement
provided by Tenant, or by any affiliate, successor or guarantor of Tenant,
was materially false.
(d) The failure of Tenant to timely and fully provide any
subordination agreement, estoppel certificate or financial statements in
accordance with the requirements of Article XIII.
(e) The failure or inability by Tenant to observe or
perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease
to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in any other
subsection of this Section, where the failure continues for a period of
thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant or such shorter
period as is specified in any other provision of this Lease; provided,
however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to,
any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 and
1161(a) as amended. However, if the nature of the failure is such that more
than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall
not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences the cure within thirty
(30) days, and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion.
(f) (i) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for
the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition

of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this
Lease, if possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; (iv)

Lease, where the seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days; or (v)
Tenant's convening of a meeting of its creditors for the purpose of effecting
a moratorium upon or composition of its debts. Landlord shall not be deemed
to have knowledge of any event described in this subsection unless
notification in writing is received by Landlord, nor shall there be any
presumption attributable to Landlord of Tenant's insolvency. In the event
that any provision of this subsection is contrary to applicable law, the
provision shall be of no force or effect.
SECTION 14.2. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.
(a) In the event of any default by Tenant, or in the event
of the abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, then in addition to any other
remedies available to Landlord, Landlord may exercise the following remedies:
(i) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to
possession of the Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease
shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the
Premises to landlord. Such termination shall not affect any accrued
obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Upon termination. Landlord shall have
the right to reenter the Premises and remove all persons and property.
Landlord shall also be entitled to recover from Tenant:
(1) The worth at the time of award of
the unpaid rent and additional rent which had been earned at the time of
termination;
(2) The worth at the time of award of
the amount by which the unpaid rent and additional rent which would have been
earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such
loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(3) The worth at the time of award of
the amount by which the unpaid rent and additional rent for the balance of
the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss that Tenant
proves could be reasonably avoided;
(4) Any other amount necessary to
compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's
failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary
course of things would be likely to result from Tenant's default, including,
but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of the Premises,
refurbishment of the Premises, marketing costs, commissions and other
expenses of reletting, including necessary repair, the unamortized portion of
any tenant improvements and brokerage commissions funded by Landlord in
connection with this Lease, reasonable attorneys' fees, and any other
reasonable costs; and
(5) At Landlord's election, all other
amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted by
law. The term "rent" as used in this Lease shall be deemed to mean the Basic
Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to
the terms of this Lease. Any sum, other than Basic Rent. shall be computed on
the basis of the average monthly amount accruing during the twenty-four (24)
month period immediately prior to default, except that if it becomes
necessary to compute such rental before the twenty-four (24) month period has
occurred, then the computation shall be on the basis of the average monthly
amount during the shorter period. As used in subparagraphs (1) and (2) above,
the "worth at the time of award" shall be computed by allowing interest at
the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.
18
As used in subparagraph (3) above, the "worth at the time of award" shall be
computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
(ii) Landlord may elect not to terminate Tenant's
right to possession of the Premises, in which event Landlord may continue to
enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right
to collect all rent as it becomes due. Efforts by the Landlord to maintain,
preserve or relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver to protect
the Landlord's interests under this Lease, shall not constitute a termination
of the Tenant's right to possession of the Premises. In the event that
Landlord elects to avail itself of the remedy provided by this subsection
(ii), Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment
or subletting of the Premises subject to the reasonable standards for
Landlord's consent as are contained in this Lease.
(b) Landlord shall be under no obligation to observe or
perform any covenant of this Lease on its part to be observed or performed
which accrues after the date of any default by Tenant unless and until the
default is cured by Tenant, it being understood and agreed that the
performance by Landlord of its obligations under this Lease are expressly
conditioned upon Tenant's full and timely performance of its obligations
under this Lease. The various rights and remedies reserved to Landlord in
this Lease or otherwise shall be cumulative and, except as otherwise provided
by California law, Landlord may pursue any or all of its rights and remedies
at the same time.
(c) No delay or omission of Landlord to exercise any right
or remedy shall be construed as a waiver of the right or remedy or of any
default by Tenant. The acceptance by Landlord of rent shall not be a (i)
waiver of any preceding breach or default by Tenant of any provision of this
Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent accepted,
regardless of Landlord's knowledge of the preceding breach or default at the
time of acceptance of rent, or (ii) a waiver of Landlord's right to exercise
any remedy available to Landlord by virtue of the breach or default. The
acceptance of any payment from a debtor in possession, a trustee, a receiver
or any other person acting on behalf of Tenant or Tenant's estate shall not
waive or cure a default under Section 14.1. No payment by Tenant or receipt
by Landlord of a lesser amount than the rent required by this Lease shall be
deemed to be other than a partial payment on account of the earliest due
stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or
letter be deemed an accord and satisfaction and Landlord shall accept the
check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance
of the rent or pursue any other remedy available to it. No act or thing done
by Landlord or Landlord's agents during the Term shall be deemed an
acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a
surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord. No
employee of Landlord or of Landlord's agents shall have any power to accept
the keys to the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease, and the
delivery of the keys to any employee shall not operate as a termination of
the Lease or a surrender of the Premises.
SECTION 14.3. LATE PAYMENTS.
(a) Any rent due under this Lease that is not received by
Landlord within five (5) days of the date when due shall bear interest at the
maximum rate permitted by law from the date due until fully paid. The payment
of interest shall not cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. In
addition, Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant to Landlord of
rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the
exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to
ascertain. Those costs may include, but are not limited to, administrative,
processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on
Landlord by the terms of any ground lease, mortgage or mist deed covering the
Premises. Accordingly, if any rent due from Tenant shall not be received by
Landlord or Landlord's designee within five (5) days after the date due, then
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to the interest provided above, a
late charge in a sum equal to the greater of five percent (5%) of the amount
overdue or Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) for each delinquent payment.
Acceptance of a late charge by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of
Tenant's default with respect to the overdue amount, nor shall it prevent
Landlord from exercising any of its other rights and remedies.
(b) Following each second consecutive installment of rent
that is not paid within five (5) days following notice of nonpayment from
Landlord, Landlord shall have the option (i) to require that beginning with
the first payment of rent next due, rent shall no longer be paid in monthly
installments but shall be payable quarterly three (3) months in advance

set-off. If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money, other than rent, or falls
to perform any other act on its part to be performed under this Lease, and

14.1, then in addition to any other available remedies, Landlord may, at its
election make the payment or perform the other act on Tenant's part.
Landlord's election to make the payment or perform the act on Tenant's part
shall not give rise to any responsibility of Landlord to continue making the
same or similar payments or performing the same or similar acts. Tenant
shall, promptly upon demand by Landlord,
19
reimburse Landlord for all sums paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental
costs, together with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the
date of the payment by Landlord. Landlord shall have the same rights and
remedies if Tenant fails to pay those amounts as Landlord would have in the
event of a default by Tenant in the payment of rent.
SECTION 14.5. DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be deemed to
be in default in the performance of any obligation under this lease unless
and until it has failed to perform the obligation within thirty (30) days
after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying in reasonable detail
the nature and extent of the failure; provided, however, that if the nature
of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required
for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it
commences performance within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently pursues the cure to completion.
SECTION 14.6. EXPENSES AND LEGAL FEES. All sums reasonably incurred
by Landlord in connection with any event of default by Tenant under this
Lease or holding over of possession by Tenant after the expiration or earlier

and any collection agency or other collection charges, shall be due and

other costs. The prevailing party for the purpose of this paragraph shall be
determined by the trier of the facts.
SECTION 14.7. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS AWARE OF AND HAS HAD THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL OF ITS

JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO
AGAINST THE OTHER (AND/OR AGAINST ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS,
OR SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATED ENTITIES) ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT
OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE
PREMISES, AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE.
SECTION 14.8. SATISFACTION OF JUDGMENT. The obligations of Landlord
do not constitute the personal obligations of the individual partners,
trustees, directors, officers or shareholders of Landlord or its constituent
partners. Should Tenant recover a money judgment against Landlord, such
judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale received upon
execution of such judgment and levied thereon against the right, title and
interest of Landlord in the Project and out of the rent or other income from
such property receivable by Landlord or out of consideration received by
Landlord from the sale or other disposition of all or any part of Landlord's
right, title or interest in the Project and no action for any deficiency may
be sought or obtained by Tenant.

demand or right of any kind by Tenant which is based upon or arises in

default upon which the claim, demand or right arises, has occurred.
ARTICLE XV. END OF TERM
SECTION 15.1. HOLDING OVER. This Lease shall terminate without
further notice upon the expiration of the Term, and any holding over by
Tenant after the expiration shall not constitute a renewal or extension of
this Lease, or give Tenant any rights under this Lease, except when in
writing signed by both parties. If Tenant holds over for any period after the
expiration (or earlier termination) of the Term without the prior written
consent of Landlord, such possession shall constitute a tenancy at sufferance
only; such holding over with the prior written consent of Landlord shall
constitute a month-to-month tenancy commencing on the first (1st) day
following the termination of this Lease. In either of such events, possession
shall be subject to all of the terms of this Lease, [except that the monthly

consent to a holdover or result in a renewal of this Lease. The foregoing
provisions of this Section are in addition to and do not affect Landlord's
right of re-entry or any other rights of Landlord under this or at law.
SECTION 15.2. MERGER ON TERMINATION. The voluntary or other
surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual termination of this Lease,
shall terminate any or all existing subleases unless Landlord, at its option,

it of any or all subleases affecting the Premises.
20
SECTION 15.3. SURRENDER OF PREMISES; REMOVAL OF PROPERTY. Upon the
Expiration Date or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall

structural damage, provided that Landlord may instead elect to repair any
structural damage at Tenant's expense. If Tenant shall fail to comply with
the provisions of this Section, Landlord may effect the removal and/or make

Tenant upon demand. If Tenant fails to remove Tenant's personal property from
the Premises upon the expiration of the Term, Landlord may remove, store,
