LEASE
By this Lease Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the
Premises in the Building as set forth and described on the Reference Pages. The
Premises are depicted on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the
Building is depicted on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-1. The
Reference Pages, including all terms defined thereon. are incorporated as part
of this Lease.
1. USE AND RESTRICTIONS ON USE.
1.1 The Premises are to be used solely for the purposes set forth on the
Reference Pages. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about
the Premises which will in any way obstruct or interfere with the rights of
other tenants or occupants of the Building or injure, annoy, or disturb them, or
allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful, or
objectionable purpose, or commit any waste. Tenant shall not do, permit or
suffer in, on, or about the Premises the sale of any alcoholic liquor without
the written consent of Landlord first obtained. Tenant shall comply with all
governmental laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to the use of the
Premises and its occupancy and shall promptly comply with all governmental
orders and directions for the correction, prevention and abatement of any
violations in the Building or appurtenant land, caused or permitted by, or
resulting from the specific use by, Tenant, or in or upon, or in connection
with, the Premises, all at Tenant's sole expense. Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done on or about the Premises or bring or keep anything into the
Premises which will in any way increase the rate of, invalidate or prevent the
procuring of any insurance protecting against loss or damage to the Building or
any of its contents by fire or other casualty or against liability for damage to
property or injury to persons in or about the Building or any part thereof.
1.2 Tenant shall not, and shall not direct, suffer or permit any of its
agents, contractors, employees, licensees or invitees (collectively, the "Tenant
Entities") to at any time handle, use, manufacture, store or dispose of in or
about the Premises or the Building any (collectively "Hazardous Materials")
flammables, explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous wastes or materials,
toxic wastes or materials, or other similar substances, petroleum products or
derivatives or any substance subject to regulation by or under any federal,
state and local laws and ordinances relating to the protection of the
environment or the keeping, use or disposition of environmentally hazardous
materials, substances, or wastes, presently in effect or hereafter adopted, all
amendments to any of them, and all rules and regulations issued pursuant to any
of such laws or ordinances (collectively "Environmental Laws"), nor shall Tenant
suffer or permit any Hazardous Materials to be used in any manner not fully in
compliance with all Environmental Laws, in the Premises or the Building and
appurtenant land or allow the environment to become contaminated with any
Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may handle, store,
use or dispose of products containing small quantities of Hazardous Materials
(such as aerosol cans containing insecticides, toner for copiers, paints, paint
remover and the like) to the extent customary and necessary for the use of the
Premises for general office purposes; provided that Tenant shall always handle,
store, use, and dispose of any such Hazardous Materials in a safe and lawful
manner and never allow such Hazardous Materials to contaminate the Premises,
Building and appurtenant land or the environment. Tenant shall protect, defend,
indemnify and hold each and all of the Landlord Entities (as defined in Article
30) harmless from and against any and all loss, claims, liability or costs
(including court costs and attorney's fees) incurred by reason of any actual or
asserted failure of Tenant to fully comply with all applicable Environmental
Laws, or the presence, handling, use or disposition in or from the Premises of
any Hazardous Materials by Tenant or any Tenant Entity (even though permissible
under all applicable Environmental Laws or the provisions of this Lease), or by
reason of any actual or asserted failure of Tenant to keep, observe, or perform
any provision of this Section 1.2.
1.3 Tenant and the Tenant Entities will be entitled to the non-exclusive
use of the common areas of the Building as they exist from time to time during
the Term, including the parking facilities, subject to Landlord's rules and
regulations regarding such use. However, in no event will Tenant or the Tenant
Entities park more vehicles in the parking facilities than Tenant's
Proportionate Share of the total parking spaces available for common use. The
foregoing shall not be deemed to provide Tenant with an exclusive right to any
parking spaces or any guaranty of the availability of any particular parking
spaces or any specific number of parking spaces.
1
2. TERM.
2.1 The Term of this Lease shall begin on the date ("Commencement Date")
which shall be the later of the Scheduled Commencement Date as shown on the
Reference Pages and the date that Landlord shall tender possession of the
Premises to Tenant, and shall terminate on the date as shown on the Reference
Pages ("Termination Date"), unless sooner terminated by the provisions of this
Lease. Landlord shall tender possession of the Premises with all the work, if
any, to be performed by Landlord pursuant to Exhibit B to this Lease
substantially completed. Tenant shall deliver a punch list of items not
completed within thirty (30) days after Landlord tenders possession of the
Premises and Landlord agrees to proceed with due diligence to perform its
obligations regarding such items. Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, execute
and deliver a memorandum agreement provided by Landlord in the form of Exhibit C
attached hereto, setting forth the actual Commencement Date, Termination Date
and, if necessary, a revised rent schedule. Should Tenant fail to do so within
thirty (30) days after Landlord's request. the information set forth in such
memorandum Provided by Landlord shall he conclusively presumed to be agreed and
correct.
2.2 Tenant agrees that in the event of the inability of landlord to deliver
possession of the Premises on the Scheduled Commencement Date for any reason.
Landlord shall not he liable for any damage resulting from such inability. but
Tenant shall not be liable for any rent until the time when Landlord can, after
notice to Tenant, deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant. No such failure
to give possession on the Scheduled Commencement Date shall affect the other
obligations of Tenant under this Lease, except that if Landlord is unable to
deliver possession of the Premises within one hundred twenty (120) days after
the Scheduled Commencement Date (other than as a result of strikes, shortages of
materials, holdover tenancies or similar matters beyond the reasonable control
of Landlord and Tenant is notified by Landlord in writing as to such delay),
Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease unless said delay is as a
result of: (a) Tenant's failure to agree to plans and specifications and/or
construction cost estimates or bids: (b) Tenant's request for materials,
finishes or installations other than Landlord's standard except those, if any,
that Landlord shall have expressly agreed to furnish without extension of time
agreed by Landlord, (c) Tenant's change in any plans or specifications; or, (d)
performance or completion by a party employed by Tenant (each of the foregoing,
a "Tenant Delay"). If any delay is the result of a Tenant Delay, the
Commencement Date and the payment of rent under this Lease shall be accelerated
by the number of days of such Tenant Delay.
2.3 In the event Landlord permits Tenant, or any agent, employee or
contractor of Tenant, to enter, use or occupy the Premises prior to the
Commencement Date, such entry, use or occupancy shall be subject to all the
provisions of this Lease other than the payment of rent, including, without
limitation, Tenant's compliance with the insurance requirements of Article 11.
Said early possession shall not advance the Termination Date.
3. RENT.
3.1 Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the Annual Rent in effect from time to
time by paying the Monthly Installment of Rent then in effect on or before the
first day of each full calendar month during the Term, except that the first
full month's rent shall be paid upon the execution of this Lease. The Monthly
Installment of Rent in effect at any time shall be one-twelfth (1/12) of the
Annual Rent in effect at such time. Rent for any period during the Term which is
less than a full month shall be a prorated portion of the Monthly Installment of
Rent based upon the number of days in such month. Said rent shall be paid to
Landlord, without deduction or offset and without notice or demand, at the Rent
Payment Address, as set forth on the Reference Pages, or to such other person or
at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. If
an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may require by notice to Tenant that all
subsequent rent payments be made by an automatic payment from Tenant's bank
account to Landlord's account, without cost to Landlord. Tenant must implement
such automatic payment system prior to the next scheduled rent payment or within
ten (10) days after Landlord's notice, whichever is later. Unless specified in
this Lease to the contrary. all amounts and sums payable by Tenant to Land lord
pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed additional rent.
2
3.2 Tenant recognizes that late payment of any rent or other sum due under this
Lease will result in administrative expense to Landlord, the extent of which
additional expense is extremely difficult and economically impractical to
ascertain. Tenant therefore agrees that if rent or any other sum is not paid
when due and payable pursuant to this Lease, a late charge shall be imposed in
an amount equal to the greater of: (a) Fifty Dollars ($50.00), or (b) six
percent (6%) of the unpaid rent or other payment. The amount of the late charge
to be paid by Tenant shall be reassessed and added to Tenant's obligation for
each successive month until paid. The provisions of this Section 3.2 in no way
relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay rent or other payments on or before the
date on which they are due, nor do the terms of this Section 3.2 in any way
affect Landlord's remedies pursuant to Article 19 of this Lease in the event
said rent or other payment is unpaid after date due.
4. RENT ADJUSTMENTS.
4.1 For the purpose of this Article 4. the following terms are defined as
follows:

accounting principles, including the following costs by way of illustration, but

payroll taxes; accounting and legal fees; and sales, use or service taxes

recover, as additional rent (which, along with any other capital expenditures
constituting Expenses, Landlord may either include in Expenses or cause to be
billed to Tenant along with Expenses and Taxes but as a separate item), Tenant's
Proportionate Share of: (i) an allocable portion of the cost of capital
improvement items which are reasonably calculated to reduce operating expenses;
(ii) the cost of fire sprinklers and suppression systems and other life safety
systems; and (iii) other capital expenses which are required under any
governmental laws, regulations or ordinances which were not applicable to the

accordance with such reasonable life and amortization schedules as shall be
determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, with interest on the unamortized amount at one percent (1%) in
excess of the Wall Street Journal prime lending rate announced from time to
time. Expenses shall not include depreciation or amortization of the Building or
equipment in the Building except as provided herein, loan principal payments,
costs of alterations of tenants' premises, leasing commissions, interest
expenses on long-term borrowings or advertising costs.

equipment or other property of Landlord, real or personal, located in the

land, any payments to any ground lessor in reimbursement of tax payments made by
such lessor; and all fees, expenses and costs incurred by Landlord in
investigating, protesting, contesting or in any way seeking to reduce or avoid
increase in any assessments, levies or the tax rate pertaining to any Taxes to
be paid by Landlord in any Lease Year. Taxes shall not include an corporate

3
4.2 Tenant shall pay as additional rent for each Lease Year Tenant's
Proportionate Share of Expenses and Taxes incurred for such Lease Year.
4.3 The annual determination of Expenses shall be made by Landlord and
shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant, subject to the provisions of this
Section 4.3. During the Term, Tenant may review, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, the books and records supporting such determination in an office of
Landlord, or Landlord's agent, during normal business hours, upon giving
Landlord five (5) days advance written notice within sixty (60) days after
receipt of such determination, but in no event more often than once in any one
(1) year period, subject to execution of a confidentiality agreement acceptable
to Landlord, and provided that if Tenant utilizes an independent accountant to
perform such review it shall be one of national standing which is reasonably
acceptable to Landlord, is not compensated on a contingency basis and is also
subject to such confidentiality agreement. If Tenant fails to object to
Landlord's determination of Expenses within ninety (90) days after receipt, or
if any such objection fails to state with specificity the reason for the
objection, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such determination and shall
have no further right to object to or contest such determination. In the event
that during all or any portion of any Lease Year or Base Year, the Building is
not fully rented and occupied Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment in
occupancy-related Expenses for such year for the purpose of avoiding distortion
of the amount of such Expenses to be attributed to Tenant by reason of variation
in total occupancy of the Building, by employing consistent and sound accounting
and management principles to determine Expenses that would have been paid or
incurred by Landlord had the Building been at least ninety-five percent (95%)
rented and occupied, and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been
Expenses for such Lease Year.
4.4 Prior to the actual determination thereof for a Lease Year, Landlord
may from time to time estimate Tenant's liability for Expenses and/or Taxes
under Section 4.2, Article 6 and Article 28 for the Lease Year or portion
thereof. Landlord will give Tenant written notification of the amount of such
estimate and Tenant agrees that it will pay, by increase of its Monthly
Installments of Rent due in such Lease Year, additional rent in the amount of
such estimate. Any such increased rate of Monthly Installments of Rent pursuant
to this Section 4.4 shall remain in effect until further written notification to
Tenant pursuant hereto.
4.5 When the above mentioned actual determination of Tenant's liability for
Expenses and/or Taxes is made for any Lease Year and when Tenant is so notified
in writing, then:
4.5.1 If the total additional rent Tenant actually paid pursuant to
Section 4.3 on account of Expenses and/or Taxes for tile Lease Year is less than
Tenant's liability for Expenses and/or Taxes, then Tenant shall pay such
deficiency to Landlord as additional rent in one lump sum within thirty (30)
days of receipt of Landlord's xxxx therefor; and
4.5.2 If the total additional rent Tenant actually paid pursuant to
Section 4.3 on account of Expenses and/or Taxes for the Lease Year is more than
Tenant's liability for Expenses and/or Taxes, then Landlord shall credit the
difference against the then next due payments to be made by Tenant under this
Article 4, or, if the Lease has terminated, refund the difference in cash.
4.6 If the Commencement Date is other than January 1 or if the Termination
Date is other than December 31, Tenant's liability for Expenses and Taxes for
the Lease Year in which said Date occurs shall be prorated based upon a three
hundred sixty-five (365) day year.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall deposit the Security Deposit with Landlord
upon the execution of this Lease. Said sum shall be held by Landlord as security
for the faithful performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant and not as an
advance rental deposit or as a measure of Landlord's damage in case of Tenant's
default. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease,
Landlord may use any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or
any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount which Landlord may
spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default, or to
compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by
reason of Tenant's default. If any portion is so used, Tenant shall within five
(5) days after written demand therefor, deposit with Landlord an amount
sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount and Tenant's
failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Except to such
extent, if any, as shall be required by law, Landlord shall not be required to
4
keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not
be entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully
perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security
Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant at such time after
termination of this Lease when Landlord shall have determined that all of
Tenant's obligations under this lease have been fulfilled. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in Article 23 hereof, Tenant hereby
waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or any
similar or successor Regulations or other laws now or hereinafter in effect.

require modification of the Building's electrical, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC or
other systems. and (iv) in aggregate do not cost more than $5.00 per rentable

6.2 In the event Landlord consents to the making of any such alteration,
addition or improvement by Tenant, the same shall be made by using either
Landlord's contractor or a contractor reasonably approved by Landlord, in either
event at Tenant's sole cost and expense. If Tenant shall employ any contractor
other than Landlord's contractor and such other contractor or any subcontractor
of such other contractor shall employ any non-union labor or supplier, Tenant
shall be responsible for and hold Landlord harmless from any and all delays,
damages and extra costs suffered by Landlord as a result of any dispute with any
labor unions concerning the wage, hours, terms or conditions of the employment
of any such labor. In any event Landlord may charge Tenant a construction
management fee not to exceed five percent (5%) of the cost of such work to cover
its overhead as it relates to such proposed work. plus third-party costs
actually incurred by Landlord in connection with the proposed work and the
design thereof, with all such amounts being due five (5) days after Landlord's
demand.
6.3 All alterations. additions or improvements proposed by Tenant shall be
constructed in accordance with all government laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations, using Building standard materials where applicable, and Tenant
shall, prior to construction, provide the additional insurance required under
Article 11 in such case, and also all such assurances to Landlord as Landlord
shall reasonably require to assure payment of the costs thereof, including but
not limited to, notices of non-responsibility, waivers of lien, surety company
performance bonds and funded construction escrows and to protect Landlord and
the Building and appurtenant land against any loss from any mechanic's,
materialmen's or other liens. Tenant shall pay in addition to any sums due
pursuant to Article 4, any increase in real estate taxes attributable to any
such alteration, addition or improvement for so long, during the Term, as such
increase is ascertainable: at Landlord's election said sums shall be paid in the
same way as sums due under Article 4. Landlord may, as a condition to its
consent to any particular alterations or improvements, require Tenant to deposit
with Landlord the amount reasonably estimated by Landlord as sufficient to cover
the cost of removing such alterations or improvements and restoring the
Premises, to the extent required under Section 26.2.
7. REPAIR.
7.1 Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel. improve, repair,
decorate or paint the Premises, except as specified in Exhibit B if attached to
this Lease and except that Landlord shall repair and maintain the structural
portions of the roof, foundation and walls of the Building. By taking possession
of the Premises, Tenant accepts them as being in good order, condition and
repair and in the condition in which Landlord is obligated to deliver them,
except as set forth in the punch list to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.1.
It is hereby understood and agreed that no representations respecting the
condition of the Premises or the Building have been made by Landlord to Tenant,
except as specifically set forth in this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for
any failure to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such
failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need
of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant.
5
7.2 Tenant shall at its own cost and expense keep and maintain all parts of
the Premises and such portion of the Building and improvements as are within the
exclusive control of Tenant in good condition, promptly making all necessary
repairs and replacements, whether ordinary or extraordinary, with materials and
workmanship of the same character, kind and quality as the original (including,
but not limited to, repair and replacement of all fixtures installed by Tenant,

exterior stairs, skylights, any special office entries. interior walls and
finish work, floors and floor coverings, electrical systems and fixtures,
sprinkler systems, dock boards, truck doors, dock bumpers, plumbing work and
fixtures, and performance of regular removal of trash and debris). Tenant as
part of its obligations hereunder shall keep the Premises in a clean and
sanitary condition. Tenant will, as far as possible keep all such parts of the
Premises from deterioration due to ordinary wear and from falling temporarily
out of repair, and upon termination of this Lease in any way Tenant will yield
up the Premises to Landlord in good condition and repair, loss by fire or other
casualty excepted (but not excepting any damage to glass). Tenant shall, at its
own cost and expense, repair any damage to the Premises or the Building
resulting from and/or caused in whole or in part by the negligence or misconduct

entering upon the Premises as a result of Tenant's business activities or caused
by Tenant's default hereunder.
7.3 Except as provided in Article 22, there shall be no abatement of rent
and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with
Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or
improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or to
fixtures, appurtenances and equipment in the Building. Tenant hereby waives any

8. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises, the Building and appurtenant land
and Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises free from any liens arising out
of any services, work or materials performed, furnished, or contracted for by
Tenant, or obligations incurred by Tenant. In the event that Tenant fails,
within ten (10) days following the imposition of any such lien, to either cause
the same to be released of record or provide Landlord with insurance against the
same issued by a major title insurance company or such other protection against
the same as Landlord shall accept (such failure to constitute an Event of
Default), Landlord shall have the right 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 such sums paid by Landlord and all expenses incurred by it in
connection therewith shall be payable to it by Tenant within five (5) days
Landlord's demand.
9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
9.1 Tenant shall not have the right to assign or pledge this Lease or to
sublet the whole or any part of the Premises whether voluntarily or by operation
of law, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by anyone other than
Tenant, and shall not make, suffer or permit such assignment, subleasing or
occupancy without the prior written consent of Landlord, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, and said restrictions shall be binding upon any and all
assignees of the Lease and subtenants of the Premises. In the event Tenant
desires to sublet, or permit such occupancy of. the Premises, or any portion
thereof, or assign this Lease, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to
Landlord at least sixty (60) days but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days
prior to the proposed commencement date of such subletting or assignment, which
notice shall set forth the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee, the
relevant terms of any sublease or assignment and copies of financial reports and
other relevant financial information of the proposed subtenant or assignee.
6
9.2 Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, permitted or otherwise,
Tenant shall at all times remain directly, primarily and fully responsible and
liable for the payment of the rent specified in this Lease and for compliance
with all of its other obligations under the terms, provisions and covenants of
this Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if the Premises or any
part of them are then assigned or sublet. Landlord, in addition to any other
remedies provided in this Lease or provided by law, may, at its option, collect
directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents due and becoming due to
Tenant under such assignment or sublease and apply such rent against any sums
due to Landlord from Tenant under this Lease, and no such collection shall be
construed to constitute a novation or release of Tenant from the further
performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
9.3 In addition to Landlord's right to approve of any subtenant or
assignee, Landlord shall have the option. in its sole discretion, in the event
of any proposed subletting or assignment, to terminate this Lease, or in the
case of a proposed subletting of less than the entire Premises, to recapture the
portion of the Premises to be sublet, as of the date the subletting or
assignment is to be effective. The option shall be exercised, if at all, by
Landlord giving Tenant written notice given by Landlord to Tenant within thirty
(30) days following Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written notice as required
above. However, if Tenant notifies Landlord. within five (5) days after receipt
of Landlord's termination notice, that Tenant is rescinding its proposed
assignment or sublease, the termination notice shall be void and the Lease shall
continue in full force and effect. If this Lease shall be terminated with
respect to the entire Premises pursuant to this section, the Term of this Lease
shall end on the date stated in Tenant's notice as the effective date of the
sublease or assignment as if that date had been originally fixed in this Lease
for the expiration of the Term. If Landlord recaptures under this Section only a
portion of the Premises, the rent to be paid from time to time during the
unexpired term shall xxxxx proportionately based on the proportion by which the
approximate square footage of the remaining portion of the Premises shall be
