WITNESSETH:
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, an area of approximately 26,788 square feet consisting of the entire building located at 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx (hereinafter called “Premises” or “Complex”).
The parties hereto agree that said letting and hiring is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth and Tenant covenants as a material part of the consideration for this Lease to keep and perform each and all of said terms, covenants and conditions by it to be kept and performed and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance.
1. TERM. The term of this Lease shall be for three (3) years commencing on the first day of January, 1996, and ending on the 31st day of December 1998, unless the term hereby demised shall be sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.
2. POSSESSION. Tenant agrees that in the event of the inability of Landlord to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the date above specified for the commencement of the term of this Lease, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but the expiration date of the above term shall be extended by the same number of days that the Tenant’s possession of the Premises was detained by Landlord’s inability to deliver possession, and in such event Tenant shall not be liable for any rent until such time as Landlord tenders delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s work therein, if any, substantially completed. Should Landlord tender possession of the Premises to Tenant prior to the date specified for commencement of the term hereof, and Tenant elects to accept such prior tender, such prior occupancy shall be subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including the payment of rent.
Notwithstanding Paragraph 1, the term of the Lease shall not begin until Landlord has delivered possession of the Premises to Tenant with all work to be performed by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 11 substantially completed. If Landlord for any reason fails to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant with such improvements substantially completed by February 29, 1996, then Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this lease by written notice to Landlord of such termination. Tenant shall deliver such notice, if at all, by March 10, 1996.
Landlord shall not consent to any holdover by the existing tenant without Tenant’s consent.
3. RENT.
(A) Base Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Base Rent for the Premises, in advance and subject to adjustment as provided herein, the sum of Forty Nine Thousand Five Hundred Fifty Eight Dollars ($49,558.00) on or before that first day of each and every successive calendar month during the initial two (2) years of the term hereof.
(B) Rental Adjustments. The annual Base Rent provided for in Paragraph 3(A) of this Lease shall be subject to adjustment at the commencement of the third (3rd) year of the term (the “Adjustment Date”) as follows: Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Base Rent for the Premises the sum of Fifty Two Thousand Two Hundred Thirty Seven Dollars and CD/100 ($52,237.00) The Base Rent as adjusted shall continue to be paid in advance on the first day of each and every month of the Lease Term.

Accordingly, during the first year of the lease term tenant shall pay to Landlord Eight Thousand Four Hundred Thirty Eight Dollars ($8,438.00) per month on account of Tenant’s additional rent attributable to Direct Expenses.
The amount to be paid monthly, on account, by Tenant as additional rent for Direct Expenses shall be adjusted annually on January 1st based upon Landlord’s best estimate of the amount of such direct costs projected for the next twelve (12) month period. For this purpose, Landlord’s statement of estimated Direct Expenses shall specify the monthly amount to be paid on account by Tenant during the next ensuing twelve (12) month period (which shall be equivalent to one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated Direct Expenses set forth in such statement until the next ensuring annual determination of estimated Direct Expenses.

8. TAXES ON TENANT’S PROPERTY.
(A) Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten (10) days before delinquency, taxes levied against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in the premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s personal property or trade futures are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade futures of Tenant and if Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based on such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof, but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant. Tenant shall upon demand, as the case may be, repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord, or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment; provided that in any such event Tenant shall have the right, in the name of Landlord and with Landlord’s full cooperation, to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the amount of any such taxes so paid under protests, any amount so recovered to belong to Tenant and all costs of such action to be borne by Tenant.

(D) Tenant shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Lease except to the extent and upon the conditions expressly stated in this Paragraph. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 19, should Landlord be delayed or prevented from substantial completion of repairing or restoring said damaged Premises within one hundred eighty (180) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction by reason of acts of God, war, governmental restrictions, inability to procure

the necessary labor or materials, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, the Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make such repairs or restoration and Tenant shall be released from its obligations under this Lease as of the end of said one hundred eighty (180) days.
(E) It is hereby understood that if Landlord is obligated to or elects to repair or restore as herein provided, Landlord shall be obligated to make repairs or restoration only of those portions of said Complex and said Premises which were originally provided at Landlord’s expense, and the repair and restoration of items not provided at Landlord’s expense shall be the obligation of Tenant.
(F) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises when the damage resulting from any casualty covered under this Paragraph occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease or any extension thereof and Landlord reasonably estimates that such repair, reconstruction or restoration will take more than 120 days to complete.
(G) The provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State of California are hereby waived by Tenant.
20. EMINENT DOMAIN. In case the whole of the Premises, or such part thereof as shall substantially interfere with the Tenant’s use and occupancy thereof, shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority, by exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation, or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, the Tenant or the Landlord may at its option terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority. Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against the Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation because of such taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant. In the event the amount of property or the type of estate taken shall not substantially interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant, and Landlord at its option may terminate this Lease. If Landlord does not so elect, Landlord shall promptly proceed to restore the Premises to substantially their same condition prior to such partial taking, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant for the rent corresponding to the time during which said restoration is being made and to the part of the Premises of which Tenant shall be so deprived on account of such taking and restoration. Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in any specific award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant.
21. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
(A) The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant:
(i) | The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant. Abandonment is herein defined to include, but is not limited, any absence by Tenant from the Premises for five (5) days or longer while in default of any provision of this Lease. | |
(ii) | The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent required to be made by Tenant hereunder, within five (5) days after notice from Landlord that such payment is overdue; provided that, if Landlord gives two such notices during any 12 month period, then Landlord shall have no obligation to give any further such notices during the balance of such 12 month period. | |
(iii) | The failure 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 (i) or (ii) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, provided however, than any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161; provided, further, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion. |
(iv) | (1) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (2) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (3) the attachment, execution of other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days. |

(B) In the event of such default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Landlord may recover from Tenant: |
(i) | The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus |
(ii) | The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus |
(iii) | The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus |
(iv) | Any other amount necessary to compensate the 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 therefrom. |
As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the prevailing discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus five percent (5%) but not more than the maximum rate permissible by law. As used in subparagraph (iii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
(C) In the event of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises: such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this subparagraph shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
22. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber all or any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises and shall not sublet all or any part of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without such consent shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute grounds for termination of this Lease.
No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord 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 assignment or subletting.
Each subletting or assignment to which Landlord has consented shall be by an instrument in writing in form, satisfactory to Landlord and shall be executed by the sublessor or assignor and by the sublessee or assignee in each instance, as the case may be, and each sublessee or assignee shall agree in writing for the benefit of the Landlord herein to assume, to be bound by and to perform the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be done, kept and performed by the Tenant. Once executed copy of such written instrument shall be delivered to the Landlord. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable attorney’s fees and such other reasonable charges which Landlord incurs or causes to be incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested subletting or assignment of this Lease or Tenant’s interest in and to the Premises. Landlord may require as a condition to Landlord’s consent to an assignment or subletting that all sums or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of such subletting or assignment, whether denominated rentals under any sublease or otherwise, which exceed in the aggregate the total sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to that portion of the Premises, subject to any such sublease) shall be payable to Landlord as additional rental under this Lease without affecting or reducing any other obligation of Tenant hereunder. Provided, however, that Tenant shall first be entitled to recover any costs of assignment or subletting incurred by Tenant, including, without limitation, real estate commission and advertising expense.

In the event that either party should bring suit or commence arbitration under this Lease or because of the breach of any provision of this lease, then all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment.

any statement of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after notice thereof by Landlord, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation of Tenant, but shall not be obligated to make any such payment or perform any other such action on Tenant’s part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided.

33. WAIVER.

Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord in connection with Landlord’s performance of such improvements. Except as provided above, the Tenant shall lease the Premises “As Is” in its condition existing on the effective date of this First Amendment.
8. Option to Extend.
(A) Provided Tenant is not then in default, Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) additional period of five (5) years, commencing upon the expiration of the then existing Lease term upon all the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, except those which require performance by Landlord which have already been performed by Landlord, and except as to Base Rent, which shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided. In order to exercise Tenant’s option to extend the term of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord no later than March 31, 2006. Base Rent shall be adjusted at the commencement of the extended term to a sum equal to the fair market rental (“FMR”) for the Premises, but in no event less than the rental Tenant is paying as of the end of the initial term, as extended under this First Amendment. If Tenant has exercised its option to extend as provided in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to determine the FMR by mutual agreement. Such negotiations shall commence no later than thirty (30) days after Tenant’s exercise of the option to extend. In the event Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree upon the FMR by the date which is sixty (60) days after exercise of the option to extend, the FMR for the extended term shall be determined by appraisal in the manner hereafter set forth.
(B) In the event it becomes necessary under this paragraph to determine the FMR by appraisal, by the date which is seventy-five (75) days after Tenant’s exercise of the option to extend, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a real estate appraiser who shall be a member
3
of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and shall be experienced in the appraisal of rental value and adjustment to rent practices for office properties in the vicinity of the Building, or the parties may mutually agree upon one such appraiser if they so choose, and such appraiser(s) shall each determine the FMR for the Premises, taking into account the value of the Premises and the amenities provided, the location of the Premises and prevailing comparable rentals and rental adjustment practices in the area. Such appraiser(s) shall, within thirty (30) business days after their appointment, complete their appraisals and submit their appraisal reports to Landlord and Tenant. If the FMR is established by one appraiser mutually selected by the parties, his or her appraisal shall be the FMR for the extended term, and the rent under this lease shall be adjusted by fair market rental adjustments as determined by the appraiser(s). If the FMR is established by two separate appraisals and the two appraisals differ by five percent (5%) or less of the highest appraisal, then the average of the two appraisals shall constitute the FMR for purposes of this paragraph. If the FMR determined by two appraisers varies by more than five percent (5%) of the higher appraisal, the two appraisers appointed, within ten (10) days after submission of the last appraisal, shall appoint a third appraiser who shall be a member of the AIREA and who shall be similarly qualified and experienced. Such third appraiser shall, within twenty (20) business days after his appointment, determine by appraisal the FMR in accordance with this paragraph. The FMR determined by the third appraiser for the Premises shall be controlling unless it is less than that set forth in the lower of the appraisals previously obtained, in which case the value set forth in said lower appraisal shall be controlling, or unless it is greater than that set forth in the higher appraisal previously obtained, in which case the rental set forth in said higher appraisal shall be controlling. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser, or if an appraiser appointed by either of them fails, after his appointment, to submit his appraisal within the required period in accordance with this Lease, the appraisal submitted by the appraiser property appointed and timely submitting his appraisal shall be controlling. The cost of all appraisals under this paragraph shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant.
9. Guaranty. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, and as a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a duly executed Guaranty of this Lease from Eidos Plc, in the form of Exhibit “1” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
10. Ratification. Except as expressly modified by this First Amendment, all terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity between this First Amendment and the Lease, the terms and conditions of this First Amendment shall govern and control, and the Lease shall be construed to give maximum effect to the terms and provisions of this First Amendment.
11. Governing Law. This Fist Amendment shall be governed by California law as it applies to parties contracting in Santa Xxxxx County, California.
