iii OFFICE LEASE THIS LEASE made as of the ____ day of ___________, 1999, between PINE STREET INVESTORS I, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Landlord") and ART TECHNOLOGY GROUP, a Delaware corporation ("Tenant"), whose address is 25 First Street, Cambridge, MA 02141. WITNESSETH: Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hires from Landlord the premises described herein for the term and subject to the terms, covenants, agreements and conditions hereinafter set forth, to each and all of which Tenant and Landlord hereby mutually agree. ARTICLE 1. PREMISES Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby hires from Landlord those certain premises (Suite 2100), as shown on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof ("Premises"), on the 21st floor of the building known as Pine Street Center ("Building") located at 100 Pine Street, San Francisco, California ("Property" as further described in Article 26). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has had an opportunity to review Landlord's calculation of rentable area, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that for purposes of this Lease the rentable area of the Premises is 12,931 square feet and the rentable area of the Property is 402,534 square feet. ARTICLE 2. TERM (A) Term. The term of this Lease ("Term") shall commence on January 1, 2000 ("Commencement Date") and, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, shall expire sixty (60) months thereafter ("Expiration Date")."). The Commencement Date shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph (B) of this Article. (B) Delays. The Commencement Date set forth in Paragraph (A) of this Article shall be delayed and Base Rent shall be abated to the extent that Landlord fails to substantially complete any initial improvements to the Premises required to be performed by Landlord under that certain Work Agreement to be executed by the parties concurrently herewith, but only to the extent such failure is caused by: (i) a Landlord Delay (as defined in the Work Agreement) or (ii) Landlord's inability to deliver possession of the Premises by reason of holding over by prior occupants. If Landlord so fails to deliver the Premises for a ninety (90) day initial grace period, or such additional time as may be necessary due to fire or other casualty, strikes, lock-outs, or other labor troubles, shortages of equipment or materials, governmental requirements, power shortages or outages, acts or omissions of Tenant or other Persons, or other causes beyond May 7, 1999 1 Landlord's reasonable control, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord any time thereafter up until Landlord substantially completes any such improvements and delivers the Premises to Tenant. In addition, if Landlord is unable, for any reason, except to the extent caused by Tenant, its contractors, agents or employees (including a Tenant Delay as defined in the Work Agreement defined below in Paragraph (c) of this Article), to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant within one hundred eighty (180) days from the Commencement Date set forth in Paragraph (A) of this Article, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord any time thereafter up until Landlord delivers the Premises to Tenant. Any such delay shall not subject Landlord to liability for loss or damage resulting therefrom and Tenant's sole recourse with respect thereto shall be the right to rent abatement as set forth herein or to terminate this Lease described above. Upon any such termination, Landlord and Tenant shall be entirely relieved of their obligations hereunder, any Security Deposit and Rent payments shall be returned to Tenant. (C) EARLY OCCUPANCY. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant will be permitted to occupy the Premises commencing upon the substantial completion of the initial repairs, alterations and improvements to the Premises to be completed in accordance with that certain Work Agreement to be executed by the parties concurrently herewith (the "Work Agreement"), which occupancy may be prior to the Commencement Date. During such early occupancy period until the Commencement Date, Tenant shall comply with all terms and provisions of this Lease except those provisions requiring the payment of Base Rent and payment of Tenant's Prorata Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses. In addition, during any period during which shall be permitted to enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date to perform alterations or improvements, Tenant shall comply with all terms and provisions of this Lease, except those provisions requiring the payment of Base Rent and Tenant's Prorata Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses. (D) TEMPORARY PREMISES. If this Lease is fully executed by September 24, 1999, all Plans (as defined in the Work Agreement) are complete by September 30, 1999 and the initial repairs, alterations and improvements to the Premises are not substantially complete as a result of Landlord Delays (as defined in the Work Agreement), Landlord agrees, to the extent such space is available in the Building, to attempt to provide Tenant with interim premises of approximately 6,000 rentable square feet (the "Temporary Premises"). If applicable, the following terms and conditions shall apply to the Temporary Premises: (i) the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease shall apply except as specifically set forth herein, (ii) the lease term for the Temporary Premises shall commence on December 1, 1999 and continue until the earlier of: (1) the substantial completion of the alterations, improvements and repairs to be made to the Premises under the Work Agreement or (2) fourteen (14) days following the date upon which Base Rent (as hereinafter defined) commences as provided herein, as may be accelerated as set forth in the Work Agreement, (iii) Tenant shall pay rent equal to $43.00 per rentable square foot per year, for the Temporary Premises, payable monthly in advance on or before the first day of each month during the term for such space, and (iv) the Temporary Premises will be leased in its "as is" condition and Landlord shall not be responsible for making any repairs or improvements thereto or for providing Tenant with any allowance for the repair, improvement or refurbishment thereof. (D) OPTION TO EXTEND TERM. Tenant shall have an option to extend the Term upon the term and conditions set forth in Rider Two, attached hereto and made a part hereof. May 7, 1999 2 ARTICLE 3. BASE RENT Tenant shall pay Landlord as Base Rent the sum of $49.OO per rentable square foot of the Premises per year, which shall be equal to an annual Base Rent of $633,619.OO and a monthly Base Rent of $52,801.58. Monthly Base Rent shall be paid to Landlord in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term, commencing as of the Commencement Date, except that Base Rent for the first full calendar month for which Base Rent shall be due, shall be paid when Tenant executes this Lease. Except as expressly set forth herein, Rent shall be paid without any prior demand or notice therefor and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim unless otherwise explicitly set forth herein, or relief from any valuation or appraisement laws. If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the Base Rent for such month shall be prorated on the basis of 1/30th of the monthly Base Rent for each day of such month. ARTICLE 4. ADDITIONAL RENT (A) TAXES. Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional rent an amount equal to Tenant's Prorata Share of Taxes in excess of the amount of Taxes paid by Landlord during the calendar year 1999 ("Base Tax Year"). Tenant shall not be required to pay additional rent for such amount for the calendar year 2000. The terms "Taxes" and "Tenant's Prorata Share" shall have the meanings specified therefor in Article 26. (B) OPERATING EXPENSES. Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional rent an amount equal to Tenant's Prorata Share of Operating Expenses in excess of the amount of Operating Expenses paid by Landlord during the calendar year 1999 ("Base Expense Year"). Tenant shall not be required to pay additional rent for such amount during the calendar year 2000. The term "Operating Expenses" shall have the meaning specified therefor in Article 26. (C) MANNER OF PAYMENT. Taxes and Operating Expenses shall be paid in the following manner: a) Landlord may reasonably estimate in advance the amounts Tenant shall owe for Taxes and Operating Expenses for any full or partial calendar year of the Term. In such event, Tenant shall pay such estimated amounts, on a monthly basis, on or before the first day of each calendar month, together with Tenant's payment of Base Rent. Such estimate may be reasonably adjusted from time to time by Landlord. b) Within 120 days after the end of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall provide a statement ("Statement") to Tenant showing: (a) the amount actual Taxes and Operating Expenses for such calendar year, with a listing of amounts for major categories of Operating Expenses, and such amounts for the Base Years, (b) any amount paid by Tenant towards Taxes and Operating Expenses during such calendar year on an estimated basis, and (c) May 7, 1999 3 any revised estimate of Tenant's obligations for Taxes and Operating Expenses for the current calendar year. c) If the Statement shows that Tenant's estimated payments were less than Tenant's actual obligations for Taxes and Operating Expenses for such year, Tenant shall pay the difference. If Landlord increases Tenant's estimated payments for the current calendar year, Tenant shall pay the difference between the new and former estimates, for the period from January 1 of the current calendar year through the month in which a statement is sent. Tenant shall make such payments within thirty (30) days after Landlord sends the applicable statement. d) If the Statement shows that Tenant's estimated payments exceeded Tenant's actual obligations for Taxes and Operating Expenses, Tenant shall receive a credit for the difference against payments of Base Rent next due. If the Term shall have expired and no further Base Rent shall be due, Tenant shall receive a refund of such difference, within thirty (30) days after Landlord sends the Statement. e) So long as Tenant's obligations hereunder are not materially adversely affected thereby, Landlord reserves the right to reasonably change, from time to time, the manner or timing of the foregoing payments. In lieu of providing one Statement covering Taxes and Operating Expenses, Landlord may provide separate statements, at the same or different times. No delay by Landlord in providing the Statement (or separate statements) shall be deemed a default by Landlord or a waiver of Landlord's right to require payment of Tenant's obligations for actual or estimated Taxes or Operating Expenses. In no event shall a decrease in Taxes or Operating Expenses below the Base Year amounts, ever decrease the monthly Base Rent, or give rise to a credit or refund in favor of Tenant. (D) PRORATION. If the Term commences other than on January 1, or ends other than on December 31, Tenant's obligations to pay estimated and actual amounts towards Taxes and Operating Expenses for such first or final calendar years shall be prorated to reflect the portion of such years included in the Term. Such proration shall be made by multiplying the total estimated or actual (as the case may be) Taxes and Operating Expenses, for such calendar years, as well as the Base Year amounts, by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days of the Term during such calendar year, and the denominator of which shall be 365. (E) ADJUSTMENTS. For purposes of making its calculation of Operating Expenses and Taxes payable by Tenant hereunder, Landlord will make adjustments to reflect a 95% occupancy rate in the Building. If Landlord eliminates from any subsequent year's Operating Expenses any category of expenses (either recurring or non-recurring) previously included in the Base Expense Year, Landlord may subtract such category from the Base Expense Year commencing with such subsequent year. If Landlord adds to any subsequent years Operating Expenses any category of expenses (either recurring or nonrecurring) previously not included in the Base Expense Year, Landlord will add a reasonable estimate for such category to the Base Expense Year commencing with such subsequent year. Any such elimination or addition will be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. May 7, 1999 4 (F) LANDLORD'S RECORDS. Landlord shall maintain records respecting Taxes and Operating Expenses and determine the same in accordance with sound accounting and management practices, consistently applied. Although this Lease contemplates the computation of Taxes and Operating Expenses on a cash basis, Landlord shall make reasonable and appropriate accrual adjustments to ensure that each calendar year, including the Base Years, includes substantially the same recurring items. Landlord reserves the right to change to a full accrual system of accounting so long as the same is consistently applied and Tenant's obligations are not materially adversely affected. (G) TENANT'S REVIEW. Tenant, within thirty (30) days after receiving Landlord's Statement, shall have the right to provide Landlord with written notice ("Review Notice") of its intent to review Landlord's books and records relating to Taxes and Operating Expenses for such calendar year. Within a reasonable time after receipt of a timely Review Notice, Landlord shall make such books and records available to Tenant or Tenant's agent for its review at the Building office; provided, that if Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord's books and records for any calendar year, such agent must be a CPA firm licensed to do business in California, Tenant shall be solely responsible for any and all costs, expenses and fees incurred by Tenant or its agent in connection with such review. Upon such review of Landlord's books and records, Tenant shall have the right, within thirty (30) days after such books and records are made available, to give Landlord written notice stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord's Statement for the applicable calendar year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice of objection within such thirty (30) day period or fails to provide Landlord with a timely Review Notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord's Statement in all respects and shall thereafter be barred from raising any claims with respect thereto. Upon Landlord's receipt of a timely objection notice from Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve the discrepancy between Landlord's Statement and Tenant's review. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Taxes and Operating Expenses for the applicable calendar year are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against future additional rent in the amount of any overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Taxes and Operating Expenses for the applicable calendar year are greater than reported, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the amount of underpayment by Tenant. Any information obtained by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be treated as confidential. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall not be permitted to examine Landlords books and records or to dispute any Statement unless Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount due as shown on such Statement. If it is determined that Tenant's Prorata Share of Taxes or Operating Expenses are overstated by more than five percent (5%) for any applicable year, Landlord agrees to pay the reasonable and direct costs of Tenant's review of Taxes and Operating Expenses for such year. (H) RENT AND OTHER CHARGES. Base Rent, Taxes, Operating Expenses, and any other amounts which Tenant is or becomes obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease or other agreement entered into in connection herewith, are sometimes herein referred to collectively as "Rent," and all remedies applicable to the non-payment of Rent shall be applicable thereto. Rent shall be paid at any office maintained by Landlord or its agent at the Property, or at such other place as Landlord may designate. May 7, 1999 5 ARTICLE 5. PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES, RENT TAXES AND OTHER TAXES Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes, charges or other governmental impositions assessed against or levied upon Tenant's fixtures, furnishing, equipment and personal property located in the Premises, and any Work to the Premises performed under Article 10. Whenever possible, Tenant shall cause all such items to be assessed and billed separately from the property of Landlord. In the event any such items shall be assessed and billed with the property of Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord its share of such taxes, charges or other governmental impositions within thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers a statement and a copy of the assessment or other documentation showing the amount of such impositions applicable to Tenant's property. Further, Tenant shall pay any rent tax or sales tax, service tax, transfer tax or value added tax, or any other applicable tax on the Rent or services herein or otherwise respecting this Lease (exclusive of Landlord's federal or state income taxes). ARTICLE 6. CONDITION OF PREMISES Tenant has inspected the Premises, Building, Property, Systems and Equipment (as defined in Article 26), or has had an opportunity to do so, and agrees to accept the same "as is" without any agreements, representations, understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any alterations, repairs or improvements other than (i) as expressly set forth in the Work Agreement and (ii) Landlord's obligation to be responsible for compliance with American With Disabilities Act requirements, to the extent applicable as of the Commencement Date, in the 21st floor restrooms. ARTICLE 7. USE AND RULES Tenant shall use the Premises exclusively for business offices and no other purpose whatsoever, in compliance with all applicable Laws, and without disturbing or interfering with any other tenant or occupant of the Property. Tenant shall not use the Premises in any manner so as to cause a cancellation of Landlord's insurance policies, or an increase in the premiums thereunder and Tenant shall not commit, or suffer to be committed, any waste upon the Premises, or any nuisance or other act or thing that may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other Tenant in the Building in which the Premises may be located. Tenant shall comply with all rules set forth in Rider One attached hereto (the "Rules"). Landlord shall have the right to reasonably amend such Rules and supplement the same with other reasonable Rules (not expressly and materially inconsistent with this Lease) relating to the Property, or the promotion of safety, care, cleanliness or good order therein, and all such amendments or new Rules shall be binding upon Tenant after five (5) days' notice thereof to Tenant. All Rules shall be applied on a non-discriminatory basis, but nothing herein shall be construed to give Tenant or any other Person (as defined in Article 26) any claim, demand or cause of action against Landlord arising out of the violation of such Rules by any other tenant, occupant, or visitor of the Property, or out of the enforcement, failure to enforce or waiver of the Rules by Landlord in any particular instance or instances.

Landlord shall not be responsible for inadequate air-conditioning or ventilation to the extent that same occurs because Tenant uses any item or items of equipment consuming more than 500 watts at rated capacity without providing adequate air-conditioning and ventilation therefor. 3. Water for drinking, lavatory and toilet purposes at those points of supply provided for nonexclusive general use of other tenants at the Property. 4.

May 7, 1999 7 (C) So long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, Landlord shall seek to provide such extra utilities or services as Tenant may from time to time request, if the same are reasonable and feasible for Landlord to provide and do not involve modifications or additions to the Property or existing Systems and Equipment (as defined in Article 26), and if Landlord shall receive Tenant's request within a reasonable period (but in any event no less than forty-eight hours) prior to the time such extra utilities or services are required; notwithstanding the minimum notice required herein, if Tenant provides Landlord at least twelve (12) hours prior notice of Tenant's need for after hours heating and air-conditioning, Landlord will attempt to accommodate such need. Landlord may comply with written or oral requests by any officer or employee of Tenant, unless Tenant shall notify Landlord of, or Landlord shall request, the names of authorized individuals (up to 3 for each floor on which the Premises are located) and procedures for written requests. Tenant shall, for such extra utilities or services, pay such charges as Landlord shall from time to time reasonably establish on a cost recovery basis. All charges for such extra utilities or services shall be due at the same time as the installment of Base Rent with which the same are billed, or if billed separately, shall be due within twenty (20) days after such billing. (D) The parties acknowledge and agree that up to 280 hours per month shall be considered typical office use for which excess rates will not be charged. Landlord may install, at its cost and expense, and operate meters or any other reasonable system for monitoring or estimating any services or utilities used by Tenant in excess of those required to be provided by Landlord under this Article (including a system for Landlord's engineer to reasonably estimate any such excess usage). If such system indicates such excess services or utilities, Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable charges for installing and operating such system and any supplementary air-conditioning, ventilation, heat, electrical or other systems or equipment (or adjustments or modifications to the existing Systems and Equipment), and Landlord's reasonable charges for such amount of excess services or utilities used by Tenant. (E) Landlord does not warrant that any services or utilities will be free from shortages, failures, variations, interruptions caused by repairs, maintenance, replacements, improvements, alterations, changes of service, strikes, lockouts, labor controversies, accidents, inability to obtain services, utilities, fuel, steam, water or supplies, governmental requirements or requests, or other causes beyond Landlord's reasonable control. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for any damages (including loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damages) directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall it constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant, nor shall the Rent reserved herein be abated or Tenant relieved from the performance of its other obligations under this Lease by reason of: (i) the installation, use, or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with furnishing the services to be provided by Landlord hereunder, (ii) failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any such services when such failure is caused by accident or any condition beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or by the making of necessary Improvements or repairs to the Premises, Systems and Equipment, Building or the Property, (iii) the limitation, curtailment, rationing or restriction on use of water, electricity, gas or any other form of energy, utility or other public service serving the Premises or the Building, (iv) any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, labor or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental controls, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as set forth in Article 13, if (i) there is a disruption of essential services to be provided by Landlord to the Premises as expressly set forth in this Lease, May 7, 1999 8 (ii) such disruption is not caused by Tenant's acts or omissions, (iii) such disruption materially interferes with Tenants use of the Premises, and (iv) (1) the restoration of such essential services is within Landlord's reasonable control, Tenant will be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent if such essential services are not restored within ten (10) consecutive business days from the date such disruption began, retroactive to the date such disruption began, or (2) the restoration of such essential services is not within Landlord's reasonable control, Tenant will be entitled to an abatement of Base Rent if such essential services are not restored within forty-five (45) days from the date such disruption began; for purposes hereof a restoration of essential services shall mean and refer to a restoration to substantially the same capacity that was in place immediately prior, to the disruption. ARTICLE 9. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS Except for customary cleaning and trash removal provided by Landlord under Article 8, and damage covered under Article 13, Tenant shall keep the Premises in good and sanitary condition, working order and repair (including without limitation, carpet, wall-covering, doors, plumbing and other fixtures, equipment, alterations and improvements whether installed by Landlord or Tenant). In the event that any repairs, maintenance or replacements are required, Tenant shall promptly arrange for the same, in a first class, workmanlike manner approved by Landlord in advance in writing, either through Landlord for such reasonable charges as Landlord may from time to time establish, or such contractors as Landlord generally uses at the Property, or such other contractors as Landlord shall first approve in writing. If Tenant does not promptly make such arrangements, Landlord may, but need not, make such repairs, maintenance and/or replacements, and the costs paid or incurred by Landlord therefor shall be reimbursed by Tenant promptly after request by Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and pay for any repairs, maintenance and replacements to areas of the Property outside the Premises, caused in whole or in part, as a result of moving any furniture, fixtures, or other property to or from the Premises, or by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, or visitors (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease). Except as provided in this Article, or for damage covered under Article 13, Landlord shall keep the common areas of the Property in good and sanitary condition, working order and repair (the cost of which shall be included in Operating Expenses). ARTICLE 1O. ALTERATIONS AND LIENS (A) Except as expressly set forth in this Paragraph, Tenant shall make no additions, changes, alterations or improvements ("Work") to the Premises or the Systems and Equipment (as defined in Article 26) pertaining to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Landlord's approval of any Work shall not be required if (i) the total cost of the Work (including materials) is less than $3,000.00 and any Work not requiring Landlord's consent performed by Tenant does not exceed $5,OOO.OO in any twelve (12) month period during the Term, (ii) the Work does not affect Building Systems and Equipment or structural components of the Property, whether required by heavy loads or otherwise, or alter the configuration of the Premises, (iii) the Work consists of only standard office alterations conforming to Building standard finishes and materials being used by Landlord at the Property, and (iv) Tenant gives Landlord notice that the Work will be performed at least May 7, 1999 9 ten (10) business days prior to the commencement thereof and provides Landlord with such information related to the Work as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord may impose reasonable requirements as a condition of providing its consent including without limitation the submission of plans and specifications for Landlord's prior written approval, obtaining necessary permits, posting bonds, obtaining insurance, prior approval of contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, prior receipt of copies of all contracts and subcontracts, contractor and subcontractor lien waivers, affidavits listing all contractors, subcontractors and supplies, use of union labor (if Landlord uses union labor), affidavits from engineers acceptable to Landlord stating that the Work will not adversely affect the Systems and Equipment or the structure or operation of the Property, and requirements as to the manner and times in which such Work shall be done. All Work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and all materials used shall be of a quality comparable to or better than those in the Premises and Property and shall be in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and Landlord may require that all such Work be performed under Landlord's supervision. If Landlord consents or supervises, the same shall not be deemed a warranty as to the adequacy of the design, workmanship or quality of materials, and Landlord hereby expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for the same. Landlord shall under no circumstances have any obligation to repair, maintain or replace any portion of the Work. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Landlord may withhold its consent to the Work if such Work necessitates compliance with any Laws for which Landlord might be responsible. (B) Tenant shall keep the Property, the Building and Premises free from any mechanic's, materialman's or similar liens or other such encumbrances in connection with any Work on or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord, and shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments, or costs (Including attorneys' fees) arising out of the same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of any Work on the Premises, or such additional times as may be necessary under applicable Laws (defined in Article 26), to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility; provided, however, in the event Tenant must make emergency repairs to the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord as soon as possible but in any event prior to the commencement any such repairs. Tenant shall remove any such liens or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within ten (10) days after written notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrances, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord's title to the Property, Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Property, Building or Premises arising in connection with any Work on or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord's option shall attach only against Tenant's interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord's title to the Property and Premises. May 7, 1999 10 ARTICLE 11. INSURANCE, SUBROGATION AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS (A) At all times during the Lease Term and during any pre-commencement occupancy and holdover period, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall procure and maintain the following types of insurance: 1. A policy of commercial general liability insurance with Broad Form Liability, and cross-liability endorsements, insuring Landlord and Tenant against any claims for bodily injury, property damage or other liability arising out of the use, occupancy, maintenance or ownership of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto, including parking areas, with an "Additional Insured-Managers or Lessors of Premises" Endorsement and contain the "Amendment of the Pollution Exclusion" for damage caused by heat, smoke or fumes from a hostile fire.

In addition, Tenant shall obtain and keep in force, at any times during the Term of this lease, a policy of business interruption insurance coverage, Insuring that one hundred percent (100%) of the monthly Base Rent, and all additional Rent due hereunder, will be paid to Landlord for a period of not less than one (1) year if the Premises are damaged or destroyed or rendered unfit for occupancy by a risk insured under the foregoing All Risk coverage. 3. A policy of worker's compensation insurance as required by applicable law. (B) The insurance to be acquired and maintained by Tenant shall be with companies admitted to do business in the State of California with Best's Rating Guide of A+10 or better. The insurance policies required hereunder shall (to the extent applicable): (i) name Landlord, and such other parties as Landlord shall designate from time to time, as additional insured, (ii) not be canceled or altered without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord, (iii) insure performance of the indemnity set forth in Article 12, and (iv) provide that such coverage is primary to and not contributory with any similar insurance carried by Landlord, whose insurance shall be considered excess insurance only. (C) The limits of said insurance required by this Lease or as carried by Tenant shall not, however, limit the liability of Tenant nor relieve Tenant of any obligation hereunder. Landlord may periodically, but not more often than every five years, require that Tenant reasonably increase the aforementioned coverage. May 7, 1999 11 (D) An original certificate for each policy of insurance required to be carried by Tenant under this Article evidencing the existence of such coverage, together with copies of all endorsements to such policies, shall be delivered to Landlord for retention by it prior to Tenant's taking possession of the Premises, and Tenant shall provide renewal certificates to Landlord at least twenty (20) days prior to expiration of such policies. In the event that Tenant shall fail to insure or shall fail to furnish Landlord the evidence of such insurance as herein required, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, from time to time acquire such insurance for the benefit of Tenant or Landlord, or both of them, for a period not exceeding one (1) year, and any premium paid by Landlord shall be recoverable from Tenant as additional Rent on demand. (E) Tenant and Landlord shall obtain from their insurers under all policies of insurance maintained by the parties pursuant to this Article (other than worker's compensation insurance) a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the insurer might have against the other party, and the parties agree to indemnify each other against any loss or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, resulting from the failure to obtain or effect such waiver. In addition, Tenant and Landlord hereby waive, on behalf of themselves and their insurers, to the extent it would not have the effect of invalidating any insurance coverage of Tenant, all rights of subrogation as to each other. Further, Tenant and Landlord hereby release and relieve each other and waive their respective rights to recover damages (whether in contract or in tort) against each other for loss of or damage to their property arising our of or incident to perils required to be insured pursuant to this Lease. The effect of such release and waiver of the right to recover damages shall not be limited by the amount of insurance carried or required, or by any deductibles applicable thereto. (G) Landlord shall maintain a standard form of "Special Form" insurance policy on the Building and the Building standard tenant improvements within the Premises in an amount reasonably determined by Landlord to be the Building's replacement value. ARTICLE 12. INDEMNITY (A) Tenant agrees to defend and indemnify Landlord against and save Landlord harmless from any and all loss, cost, liability, damage and expense, including without limitation penalties, fines and reasonable attorney's fees and costs, incurred in connection with or arising from any cause whatsoever in, on or about the Premises, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) any failure by Tenant to observe or perform of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed, or (ii) the use or occupancy or manner fuse or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any person or entity claiming through or under Tenant, or (iii) the condition of the Premises or any occurrence or happening on the Premises from any cause whatsoever, or (iv) any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or any person or entity claiming through or under Tenant, or of the agents, contractors, employees, subtenants, licensees, invitees or visitors of Tenant or any such person or entity, in, on or about the Premises or the Building, either prior to the commencement of, during, or after the expiration of the term, including without limitation any acts, omissions or negligence in the making or performing of any alterations. Tenant further agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord, Landlord's agents and the lessors under any ground or underlying leases, from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, damage and expense, including without 1imitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, incurred in connection with or arising from any claims by any May 7, 1999 12 persons by reason of injury to persons or damage to property occasioned by any use, occupancy, condition, occurrence, happening, act, omission or negligence referred to in the preceding sentence. In the event any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord for any claim with respect to which Tenant is obligated to indemnify Landlord hereunder, Tenant upon notice from Landlord shall defend such action or proceeding at Tenant's sole expense by counsel approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. (B) Subject to Paragraph (C) of this Article and except as provided in Article 12(A), Landlord shall immediately Tenant for and hold Tenant harmless and defend Tenant against liability for any injury to person or damage to property or direct losses, damages, claims and reasonable attorney's fees caused by: (i) Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (ii) failure by Landlord to observe or perform any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Landlord's part to be observed or performed. (C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not be responsible for or liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying adjoining premises or any part of the premises adjacent to or connected with the Premises or any part of the Building or Property or for any loss or damage resulting to Tenant or its property from burst, stopped or leaking water, gas, sewer or steam pipes or falling plaster, or electrical wiring or for any damage or loss of property within the Premises from any causes whatsoever, including theft, excepting only losses or damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, and in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any consequential damages. ARTICLE 13. DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE If the Premises or any common areas of the Property providing access thereto shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall use available insurance proceeds to restore the same. Such restoration shall be to substantially the condition prior to the casualty, except for modifications required by zoning and building codes and other Laws or by any Holder (as defined in Article 26), any other modifications to the common areas deemed desirable by Landlord (provided access to the Premises is not materially impaired), and except that Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any of Tenant's furniture, furnishings, fixtures or equipment, or any alterations or improvements in excess of any work performed or paid for by Landlord under any separate agreement signed by the parties in connection herewith. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business resulting in any way from any such damage or the repair thereof. However, Landlord shall allow Tenant a proportionate abatement of Base Rent and Tenant's Prorata Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof; provided, however, if Tenant or its employees or agents caused the damage such rent abatements if applicable, shall not commence until sixty (60) days following the date of the damage or casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of damage (such termination notice to include a termination date providing at least ninety (90) days for Tenant to vacate the May 7, 1999 13 Premises) if the Property shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or cause such that: (a) repairs to the Premises and access thereto cannot reasonably be completed within 120 days after the casualty without the payment of overtime or other premiums, (b) more than 25% of the Premises is affected by the damage, and fewer than 24 months remain in the Term, or any material damage occurs to the Premises during the last 12 months of the Term; provided, however, Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this subsection during the initial Term if Tenant has exercised its right to extend the Term in accordance with the terms of this Lease or Tenant exercises such right to extend the Term (to the extent applicable as set forth herein) within ten (10) business days after Landlord notifies Tenant in writing of its election to terminate this Lease, (c) any Holder shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the Mortgage debt (or shall terminate the ground lease, as the case may be), or the damage is not fully covered by Landlord's insurance policies, or (d) the cost of the repairs, alterations, restoration or improvement work would exceed 25% of the replacement value of the Building, or the nature of such work would make termination of this Lease necessary or convenient. Tenant agrees that Landlord's obligation to restore, and the abatement of Rent provided herein, shall be Tenant's sole recourse in the event of such damage, and waives any other rights Tenant may have under any applicable Law to terminate the Lease by reason of damage to the Premises or Property; provided, however, if in Landlord's reasonable opinion the Premises cannot be restored within six (6) months after the casualty and if such damage materially and adversely affects Tenant's use of the Premises or if any material damage occurs to the Premises (such that repairs to the Premises and access thereto cannot reasonably be completed within 120 days after the casualty) during the last 12 months of the Term, Tenant may (unless Tenant or its employees, contractors or agents caused the damage) elect to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage, in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the termination date specified in such notice and any obligation of Landlord to restore the Premises shall cease. Tenant acknowledges that this Article represents the entire agreement between the parties respecting damage to the Premises or Property, and Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1932(2) and 1933(4) and any similar statute now or hereafter in force. ARTICLE 14. CONDEMNATION If the whole or any material part of the Premises or Property shall be taken by power of eminent domain or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or If any adjacent property or street shall be so taken or condemned, or reconfigured or vacated by such authority in such manner as to require the use, reconstruction or remodeling of any part of the Premises, Building or Property, or if Landlord shall grant a deed or other instrument in lieu of such taking by eminent domain or condemnation, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days' notice, provided such notice is given no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such taking, condemnation, reconfiguration, vacation, deed or other instrument. Tenant shall have reciprocal termination rights if the whole or any material part of the Premises is permanently taken, or if access to the Premises is permanently materially impaired. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant's personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Term, and for moving expenses (so long as such May 7, 1999 14 claim does not diminish the award available to Landlord or any Holder, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant). All Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination, or the date of such taking, whichever shall first occur. If any part of the Premises shall be taken, and this Lease shall not be so terminated, the Rent shall be proportionately abated. The parties waive the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure section 1265.130 or any similar law allowing either party to petition the Superior Court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises. ARTICLE 15. SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND MORTGAGEE PROTECTION This Lease is subject and subordinate to all Mortgages (as defined in Article 26) now placed upon the Property, and all other encumbrances and matters of public record applicable to the Property. Provided Tenant receives a commercially reasonable non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement from any new Holder, which Tenant hereby agrees to execute, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate any Mortgages hereafter placed on the Property. If any foreclosure proceedings are initiated by any Holder (as defined in Article 26) or a deed in lieu is granted (or if any ground lease is terminated), Tenant agrees, upon written request of any such Holder or any purchaser at foreclosure sale, to attorn and pay Rent to such party and to execute and deliver any instruments necessary or appropriate to evidence or effectuate such attornment. However, in the event of attornment, no Holder shall be: (i) liable for any action or omission of Landlord, or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord (prior to such Holder becoming Landlord under such attornment), (ii) liable for any security deposit or bound by any prepaid Rent not actually received by such Holder or (iii) bound by any future modification of this Lease not consented to by such Holder. Any Holder may elect to make this Lease prior to the lien of its Mortgage, by written notice to Tenant, and if the Holder of any prior Mortgage shall require, this Lease shall be prior to any subordinate Mortgage. Tenant agrees to give any Holder by certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of any notice of default served by Tenant upon Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of an assignment of leases, or otherwise) of the address of such Holder. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the times permitted by Landlord for cure under this Lease, any such Holder whose address has been provided to Tenant shall have an additional period of thirty (30) days in which to cure (or such additional time, not to exceed 180 days, as may be required due to causes beyond such Holder's control, including time to obtain possession of the Property by power of sale or judicial action). Tenant shall execute such documentation as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time in recordable form, in order to confirm the matters set forth in this Article. ARTICLE 16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE Either party shall from time to time, within twenty (20) days after written request from the other, execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in the full force and effect, or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified, is in full force and effect (or if this Lease is claimed not to be in full force and effect, specifying the grounds therefor) and any dates to which the Rent has been paid in May 7, 1999 15 advance, and the amount of any Security Deposit, (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to such party's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the other party hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iii) certifying such other matters as may be reasonably requested, or as may be requested by Landlord's current or prospective Holders, insurance carriers, auditors, and prospective purchasers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may request such a statement only if it has a reasonable business purpose therefor; in addition, Tenant may not request such statement from Landlord more than twice in any twelve (12) month period during the Term, Any such statement may be relied upon by any such parties. If Tenant shall fail to execute and return any such statement within the time required herein, Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed with the matters set forth therein. ARTICLE 17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING (A) TRANSFERS. Except for transfers to Related Entities (as defined in Article 17(G)), Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord: (i) assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, (ii) sublet the Premises or any part thereof or (iii) permit the use of the Premises by any Persons (as defined in Article 26) other than Tenant and its employees (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as "Transfers" and any Person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "Transferee"). Prior to making any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice shall provide a detailed description of the proposed Transfer, including, without limitation: (a) the proposed effective date (which shall not be less than 30 nor more than 180 days after Tenant's notice), (b) the portion of the Premises to be Transferred (herein called the "Subject Space"), (c) the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of any documentation pertaining to the proposed Transferee, and (d) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee, certified by an other, partner or owner thereof, and any other information reasonably required to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee's business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. If Landlord reasonably requests additional information, Tenant's notice shall not be deemed to have been received until Landlord receives such additional information. Any Transfer made without complying with this Article shall, at Landlord's option, be null, void and of no effect, or shall constitute a Default under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord shall grant consent, Tenant shall pay $3OO.OO towards Landlord's review and processing expenses, as well as any reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written request therefor by Landlord. (B) APPROVAL. Subject to the terms set forth in this Article, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in Tenant's notice. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable Law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following applies (without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent): (i) the Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Property), (ii) the Transferee intends to use the Subject Space for purposes which are not permitted under this Lease, (iii) the May 7, 1999 16 Subject Space is not regular in shape with appropriate means of ingress and egress suitable for normal renting purposes, (iv) the Transferee is either a government (or agency or instrumentality thereof) or an occupant of the Property unless such occupant desires to expand its premises and no other comparable space is available in the Building, (v) the proposed Transferee does not have a reasonable financial condition in relation to the obligations to be assumed in connection with the Transfer, (vi) the proposed Transfer would result in more than two (2) subleases of portions of the Premises being in effect at any one time during the Term, or (vii) Tenant has committed and failed to cure a default at the time Tenant requests consent to the proposed Transfer. (C) RECAPTURE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, Landlord shall have the option, by giving notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's notice of any proposed Transfer (and any additional information required or requested by Landlord in connection therewith) to: (a) in the case of any Transfer, terminate this Lease as to the Subject Space as of the effective date of the proposed Transfer, in which event Tenant shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder as to the Subject Space as of such date; or (b) in the case of a sublease, to sublease the Subject Space from Tenant upon the terms and conditions set forth in Tenant's notice, except that the rent shall be the lower of the per square foot monthly Base Rent and additional Rent described in Articles 3 and 4 payable under this Lease for the Subject Space, or that part of the rent and other consideration set forth in Tenant's notice which is applicable to the Space. If Landlord exercises its option to sublet the Subject Space, Tenant shall sublet the Subject Space to Landlord upon the terms and conditions contained in Tenant's notice; provided, however, that: (i) Landlord shall at all times under such sublease have the right and option further to sublet the Subject Space without obtaining Tenant's consent or sharing any of the economic consideration received by Landlord; (ii) the provisions of Article 6 shall not be applicable thereto; (iii) Landlord and its subtenants shall have the right to use in common with Tenant all lavatories, corridors and lobbies which are within the Premises and the use of which is reasonably required for the use of the Subject Space; (iv) Tenant shall have no right of set-off or abatement or any other right to assert a default hereunder by reason of any default by Landlord under such sublease; and (v) Landlord's liability under such sublease shall not be deemed assumed or taken subject to by any successor to Landlord's interest under this Lease. No failure of Landlord to exercise either option with respect to the Subject Lease shall be deemed to be Landlord's consent to the Transfer. If this Lease shall be terminated with respect to less than the entire Premises, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of square feet of rentable area retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises, this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing rights of Landlord, Landlord's right to recapture or sublease the Subject Space as set forth in this Paragraph shall not apply to a proposed assignment or sublease of the Premises where: (1) the aggregate space sublet and/or proposed to be sublet by Tenant (including the Subject Space and any common area square footage allocated or proposed to be allocated to any Transferees) is equal to less than 3,000 rentable square feet or (ii) the sublease or assignment does not require Landlord's consent as expressly set forth in Article 17(G). (D) TERMS OF CONSENT. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as some of the conditions to the effectiveness thereof: (a) the terms and conditions of this Lease, including among other things, Tenant's liability for the Subject Space, shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or May 7, 1999 17 modified, (b) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (c) no Transferee shall succeed to any rights provided in this Lease or any amendment hereto to extend the Term of this Lease, expand the Premises, or lease additional space, any such rights being deemed personal to Tenant, and (d) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Any sublease hereunder shall be subordinate and subject to the provisions of this Lease, and if this Lease shall be terminated during the term of any sublease for any reason, Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to: (i) treat such sublease as canceled and repossess the Subject Space by any lawful means, or (ii) require that such subtenant attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord under any such sublease. If Tenant shall be in Default hereunder, as described in Paragraph (A) of Article 20, Landlord is hereby irrevocably authorized, as Tenant's agent and attorney-in-fact, to, and may (but shall not be obligated to), direct any Transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant's obligations under this Lease) until such Default is cured. Regardless of Landlord's consent, no Transfer shall release Tenant of Tenant's obligation or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all 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 hereof. Consent to one Transfer shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent Transfer. In the event of default by any assignee or successor of Tenant in the performance of any of the terms hereof Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said assignee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent Transfers of the Lease or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without noticing Tenant, or any successor of Tenant, and without obtaining its or their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Tenant or any successor of Tenant of liability under this Lease. (E) TRANSFER PREMIUM. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, and as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay Landlord seventy-five percent (75%) of any Transfer Premium derived by Tenant from such Transfer. "Transfer Premium" shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration paid by such Transferee in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease (on a monthly basis during the Term, and on a per rentable square foot basis, if less than all of the Premises is transferred), after deducting the reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant for any changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises, any other customary economic concessions provided to the Transferee, and any customary brokerage commissions paid in connection with the Transfer. If part of the consideration for such Transfer shall be payable other than in cash, Landlord's share of such non-cash consideration shall be in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The percentage of the Transfer Premium due Landlord hereunder shall be paid within ten (10) days after Tenant receives any Transfer Premium from the Transferee. (F) CERTIFICATE; ANNUAL STATEMENT. Tenant shall finish upon Landlord's request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant's chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer. In addition, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a statement within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar year in which any part of the Term occurs, and the end of the Term, specifying as to such calendar year each sublease or assignment in effect during the period covered by such statement and (i) the date of its execution and May 7, 1999 18 delivery, (ii) the number of square feet of rentable area covered thereby, (iii) the term thereof (iv) the rent charged thereunder, and (v) the amount (if any) Transfer Premium paid and payable by Tenant to Landlord. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after demand pay the deficiency, and if understated by more than 2%, Tenant shall pay Landlord's costs of such audit. (G) CERTAIN TRANSFERS. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Transfer" shall also include (a) if Tenant is a partnership, or limited liability company, the withdrawal or change (whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law) of a majority of the partners or members, or any transfer of a majority of partnership or membership interests or assets (as a consequence of a single transaction or any number of separate transactions), or the dissolution of the partnership or United liability company, (b) if Tenant is a corporation whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter, the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or (as a consequence of a single transaction or any number of separate transactions): (i) the sale or other transfer of more than an aggregate of 50% of the voting shares of Tenant, or (ii) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of 50% of Tenant's net assets, (c) If tenant is more than one Person, any Transfer by any one of the Persons comprising Tenant, and (d) any Transfer by a Transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Article, as long as ART TECHNOLOGY GROUP is the Tenant in possession of the Premises and no Default then exists, Tenant shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, without the consent of Landlord, to (a) assign its interest in this Lease (i) to any corporation which is a successor to Tenant either by merger or consolidation, or (ii) to a purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets (provided such purchaser shall have also assumed in writing substantially all of Tenant's liabilities), or (iii) to a corporation or other entity which shall control, be under the control of, or be under the common control with, ART TECHNOLOGY GROUP (the term "control" as used herein shall be deemed to mean ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation, or other majority equity and controlling interest if Tenant is not a corporation) (any such entity being a "Related Entity"), or (b) sublease all or any portion of the Premises to a Related Entity; upon the condition that (1) the principal purpose of such assignment or sublease is not the acquisition of Tenant's interest in this Lease (except if such assignment or sublease is made to a Related Entity and is made for a valid intra-corporate business purpose and is not made to circumvent the provisions of this Article 17)), and (2) any such assignee shall have a net worth and annual income and cash flow, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals, consistently applied, after giving effect to such assignment, in amounts necessary to perform its duties, obligations and liabilities hereunder, as reasonably determined by Landlord, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after execution of such assignment or sublease, deliver to Landlord (A) a duplicate original instrument of assignment or sublease, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by Tenant, (B) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord establishing compliance by the assignee with the net worth, income and cash flow requirements of clause (b)(2) above, (C) an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed by the assignee or sublessee, as the case may be, in which such assignee or sublessee shall assume observance and performance of, and agree to be personally bound by, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed and (D) such other documentation as Landlord shall May 7, 1999 19 reasonably request to satisfy itself that the assignment or sublease conforms to the specific exclusions to the definition of a "Transfer" as set forth in this Paragraph. ARTICLE 18. COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS (A) At Tenant's sole cost, Tenant shall promptly comply with all Laws (defined in Article 26) now in force or that may later be in force, including, but not limited to, all provisions of the American With Disabilities Act, the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or in the future constituted, and any direction or occupancy certificate issued by public officers (collectively "Legal Requirements"), insofar as they relate to the condition, use, or occupancy of the Premises; except for (i) structural changes or changes to the electrical, mechanical, or plumbing systems of the Building, to the extent such changes are not necessitated by Tenant's acts or by improvements made for Tenant, (ii) alterations or improvements to the Building as a whole or the common areas of the Building, and (iii) compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act in the 21st floor restrooms required as of the Commencement Date.

In such case, the parties shall execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the change within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall request the same. (G) To terminate this Lease upon written notice thereof if Tenant vacates all or a substantial portion of the Premises for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, or the failure to take possession of the Premises within sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date; In connection with entering the Premises to exercise any of the rights set forth in Paragraphs (A) through (F) of this Article, Landlord shall: (a) provide reasonable advance written or oral notice to Tenant's on-site manager or other appropriate person (except in emergencies, or for routine cleaning or other routine matters), and (b) take reasonable steps to minimize any interference with Tenant's business. May 7, 1999 21 ARTICLE 20. LANDLORD'S REMEDIES (A) DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a "Default" by Tenant, which shall give rise to Landlord's remedies set forth in Paragraph (B) of this Article: (i) failure by Tenant to make when due any payment of Rent; provided, that on the first two (2) occasions during the Term of Tenant's failure to pay Rent when due, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred unless Tenant fails to pay Rent within three (3) days following Landlord's written notice thereof (ii) failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the terms or conditions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant other than the payment of Rent, or as provided below, unless such failure is cured within thirty (30) days after written notice, or such shorter period expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease, or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary if the failure by its nature cannot be cured within thirty (30) days) provided that within such thirty (30) day period Tenant commences and thereafter diligently proceeds to cure such failure; (iii) failure by Tenant to comply with the Rules, unless such failure is cured within five (5) days after notice; (iv) (a) making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (b) filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any Law (defined in Article 26) relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days), (c) appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days, (d) attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, (e) Tenant's convening of a meeting of its creditors or any class thereof for the purpose of effecting a moratorium upon or composition of its debts, or (f) Tenant's insolvency or admission of an inability to pay its debts as they mature; (v) any material misrepresentation herein, or material misrepresentation or omission in any financial statements or other materials provided by Tenant in connection with negotiating or entering this Lease or in connection with any Transfer under Article 17; or (vi) making of any Transfer in violation of Article 17. Without limiting the foregoing, failure by Tenant to comply with the same term or condition of this Lease on three occasions during any twelve (12) month period shall cause any failure to comply with such term or condition during the succeeding twelve month period, at Landlord's option, to constitute an incurable Default if Landlord has given Tenant notice of each such failure after each such failure occurs. The parties acknowledge and agree that time is of the essence of this Lease and, to the extent allowable by Law, the notice and cure periods provided herein are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice and cure periods provided by Law. (B) REMEDIES. If Tenant commits a Default, in addition to any other right or remedy allowed under any Law or other provision of this Lease (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative), Landlord may terminate this Lease, repossess the Premises by unlawful detainer suit, summary proceedings, or any other lawful means, and recover as damages a sum of money equal to: (a) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (b) 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 the award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (c) 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 Rent loss that Tenant proves can reasonably be May 7, 1999 22 avoided; and (d) any other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment or damages proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or that in the ordinary course would be likely to result therefrom, including without limitation, all Costs of Reletting (as defined in Paragraph (F) of this Article. For purposes of computing the amount of Rent herein that would have accrued after the time of award, Tenant's Prorata Share of Taxes and Operating Expenses shall be projected, based upon the average rate of increase, if any, in such items from the Commencement Date through the time of award. The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) shall be computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate (as defined in Article 26). The "worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in clause (c) shall be 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) MITIGATION OF DAMAGES. If Landlord terminates this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate Landlord's damages, and Tenant shall be entitled to submit proof of such failure to mitigate as a defense to Landlord's claims hereunder, if mitigation of damages by Landlord is required by applicable Law. If Landlord has not terminated this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate, and may permit the Premises to remain vacant or abandoned, and shall have the remedies under California Civil Code, Section 1951.4, as the same may be modified or replaced hereafter; in such case, Tenant may seek to mitigate damages by attempting to sublease the Premises or assign this Lease subject to the provisions of Article 17. (D) SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE AND COLLECTION OF RENT. Landlord shall at all times have the rights and remedies (which shall be cumulative with each other and cumulative and in addition to those rights and remedies available under Paragraph (B) of this Article above or any law or other provision of this Lease), without prior demand or notice except as required by applicable Law: (1) to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof, and (ii) to sue for and collect any unpaid Rent which has accrued. (E) LATE CHARGES AND INTEREST. Tenant shall pay, as additional Rent, a service charge of Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) for bookkeeping and administrative expenses, if Rent is not received within five (5) days after its due date. In addition, any Rent paid more than five (5) days after due shall accrue interest from the due date at the Default Rate (as defined in Article 26), until payment is received by Landlord. Such service charge and interest payments shall not be deemed consent by Landlord to late payments, nor a waiver of Landlord's right to insist upon timely payments at any time, nor a waiver of any remedies to which Landlord is entitled as a result of the late payment of Rent. (F) CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. "Net Re-Letting Proceeds" shall mean the total amount of rent and other consideration actually paid by any Replacement Tenants, less all Costs of Re-Letting, during a given period of time. "Costs of Re-Letting" shall include, without limitation, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord for any repairs, maintenance, changes, alterations and improvements to the Premises, brokerage commissions, advertising costs, attorneys' fees, any customary free rent periods or credits, tenant improvement allowances, take-over lease obligations and other customary, necessary or appropriate economic incentives reasonably required to enter into leases with Replacement Tenants, and costs of collecting rent May 7, 1999 23 from Replacement Tenants. "Replacement Tenants" shall mean any Person (as defined in Article 26) to whom Landlord relets the Premises or any portion thereof pursuant to this Article. (G) OTHER MATTERS. No re-entry or repossession, repairs, changes, alterations and additions, reletting, acceptance of keys from Tenants, or any other action or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, or accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall the same operate to release the Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, unless express written notice of such intention is sent by Landlord to Tenant. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, all rent and other consideration paid by any Replacement Tenants shall be applied: first, to the Costs of Re-Letting, second, to the payment of any Rent theretofore accrued, and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied to the payment of other obligations of Tenant to Landlord as the same become due (with any remaining residue to be retained by Landlord). Landlord may apply payments received from Tenant to any obligations of Tenant then accrued, without regard to such obligations as may be designated by Tenant. Landlord shall be under no obligation to observe or perform any provision of this Lease on its part to be observed or performed which accrues after the date of any Default by Tenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any Law to redeem or reinstate this Lease. ARTICLE 21 LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE (A) If Landlord shall fail to perform any term or provision under this Lease required to be performed by Landlord, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder nor subject to any claims for damages of any kind, unless such failure shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Tenant; provided, if the nature of Landlord's failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required in order to cure, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period, and thereafter reasonably seeks to cure such failure to completion. The aforementioned periods of time permitted for Landlord to cure shall be extended for any period of time during which Landlord is delayed in, or prevented from, curing due to fire or other casualty, strikes, lock-outs or other labor troubles or shortages, shortages of equipment or materials, governmental requirements, power shortages or outages, acts or omissions by Tenant or other Persons, and other causes beyond Landlord's reasonable control. If Landlord shall fail to cure within the times permitted for cure herein, Landlord shall be subject to such remedies as may be available to Tenant (subject to the other provisions of this Lease); provided, in recognition that Landlord must receive timely payments of Rent and operate the Property, Tenant shall have no right of self-help to perform repairs or any other obligation of Landlord, and shall have no right to withhold, set-off or abate Rent except as expressly set forth herein. (B) All agreements and provisions to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease shall be at its sole cost and expense and without any abatement 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, or a shorter period if additional damage may result, Landlord may, to protect its interests, but shall not be obligated to do so, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations, make any such payment or perform any May 7, 1999 24 such other act on Tenant's part to be made or performed as provided herein. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs shall be deemed additional Rent hereunder and shall be payable with interest from the date Landlord makes such payments until paid by Tenant, at the Default Rate, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Rent. ARTICLE 22. RETURN OF POSSESSION At the expiration of earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant's right of possession, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises in the condition required under Article 9, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and shall surrender all keys, key cards, and any parking stickers, to Landlord, and advise Landlord as to the combination of any locks or vaults then remaining in the Premises, and shall remove all trade fixtures and personal property. All improvements, fixtures and other items in or upon the Premises (except trade fixtures and personal property belonging to Tenant), whether installed by Tenant or Landlord, shall be Landlord's property and shall remain upon the Premises, all without compensation, allowance or credit to Tenant. However, if Landlord so directs upon granting its consent to any alterations or improvements to the Premises made by Tenant, Tenant shall promptly remove such of the foregoing items as are designated in such notice and restore the Premises to the condition prior to the installation of such items and as of the execution hereof. if Tenant shall fail to perform any repairs or restoration, or fail to remove any items from the Premises required hereunder, Landlord may do so, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the reasonable cost thereof upon demand. All property removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to any provisions of this Lease or any Law may be handled or stored by Landlord at Tenant's expense, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. All property not removed from the Premises or retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant's right to possession, shall at Landlord's option be conclusively deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as if by bill of sale without payment by Landlord. Unless prohibited by applicable Law, Landlord shall have a lien against such property for the costs incurred in removing and storing the same. ARTICLE 23. HOLDING OVER Unless Landlord expressly agrees otherwise in writing, Tenant shall pay Landlord 150% of the amount of Rent then applicable for the first ninety (90) days after expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and thereafter 175% of the amount of rent applicable at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (or the highest amount permitted by law, whichever shall be less), prorated on per diem basis for each day Tenant shall retain possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, together with all damages sustained by Landlord on account thereof. The foregoing provisions shall not serve as permission for Tenant to hold-over, nor serve to extend the Term (although Tenant shall remain bound to comply with all provisions of this Lease until Tenant vacates the Premises, and shall be subject to the provisions of Article 22). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, at any time before or after expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Landlord may serve notice advising Tenant May 7, 1999 25 of the amount of Rent and other terms required, should Tenant desire to enter a month-to-month tenancy (and if Tenant shall hold over more than one fill calendar month after such notice, Tenant shall thereafter be deemed a month-to-month tenant, on the terms and provisions of this Lease then in effect, as modified by Landlord's notice, and except that Tenant shall not be entitled to any renewal or expansion rights contained in this Lease or any amendments hereto). ARTICLE 24. NO WAIVER No provision of this Lease will be deemed waived by either party unless expressly waived in writing signed by the waiving party. No waiver shall be implied by delay, forbearance, failure to act or any other act or omission of either party. No waiver by either party of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of such provision with respect to any subsequent matter relating to such provision, and Landlord's consent or approval respecting any action by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement for obtaining Landlord's consent or approval respecting any subsequent action. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term or provision of this Lease. No acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the full amount due. The acceptance of Rent or of the performance of any other term or provision from any Person other than Tenant, including any Transferee, shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord's right to approve or disapprove any Transfer. ARTICLE 25. ATTORNEYS' FEES AND JURY TRIAL In the event of any litigation between the parties, the prevailing party shall be entitled to obtain, as part of the judgment, all reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with such litigation, except as may be limited by applicable Law. In the interest of obtaining a speedier and less costly hearing of any dispute, the parties hereby each irrevocably waive the right to trial by jury. ARTICLE 26. CAPTIONS, DEFINITIONS AND SEVERABILITY The captions of the Articles and Paragraphs of this Lease are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered or referred to in resolving questions of interpretation.

COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER LINES (A) Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove or use any communications or computer wires, cables and related devices (collectively the "Lines") at the Property in or serving the Premises, provided: (a) Tenant shall obtain Landlord's prior written consent, use an experienced and qualified contractor approved in writing by Landlord, and comply with all of the other provisions of Article 10, (b) any such installation, maintenance, replacement, removal or use shall comply with all Laws applicable thereto and good work practices, and shall not interfere with the use of any then existing Lines at the Property, (c) an acceptable number of spare Lines and space for additional Lines shall be maintained for existing and future occupants of the Property, as determined in Landlord's reasonable opinion, (d) if Tenant at any time uses any equipment that may create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation, the Lines therefor (including riser cables) shall be appropriately insulated to prevent such excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation, (e) as a condition to permitting the installation of new Lines, Landlord may require that Tenant remove existing Lines located in or serving the Premises, (f) Tenant's rights shall be subject to the rights of any regulated telephone company, and (g) Tenant shall pay all costs in connection therewith. Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Lines located in or serving the Premises which are installed in violation of these provisions, or which are or become at any time in violation of any Laws or represent a dangerous or potentially dangerous condition (whether such Lines were installed by Tenant or any other party), within three (3) days after written notice. (B) Landlord may (but shall not have the obligation to): (i) install new Lines at the Property, (ii) create additional space for Lines at the Property, and (iii) reasonably direct, monitor and/or supervise the installation. maintenance, replacement and removal of, the allocation and periodic re-allocation of available space (if any) for, and the allocation of excess capacity (if any) on, any Lines now or hereafter installed at the Property by Landlord, Tenant or any other party (but Landlord shall have no right to monitor or control the information transmitted through such Lines). Such rights shall not be in limitation of other rights that may be available to Landlord by Law or otherwise. If Landlord exercises any such rights, Landlord may charge Tenant for the costs attributable to Tenant, or may include those costs and all other costs in Operating Expenses under Article 26 (including, without limitation, costs for acquiring and installing Lines and risers to accommodate new Lines and spare Lines, any associated computerized system and software for maintaining records of Line connections, and the fees of any consulting engineers and other experts); provided, any capital expenditures included in Operating Expenses hereunder shall be amortized (together with reasonable finance charges) over the period of time prescribed by Paragraph (H)(ii) of Article 26. (C) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 22, Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any or all Lines installed by or for Tenant within or serving the Premises upon termination of this Lease, provided Landlord notifies Tenant thereof at the time Landlord approves the installation. Any Lines not required to be removed pursuant to May 7, 1999 32 this Article shall, at Landlord's option, become the property of Landlord without payment by Landlord. If Tenant fails to remove such lines as required by Landlord, or violates any other provision of this Article, Landlord may, after twenty (20) days' written notice to Tenant, remove such Lines or remedy such other violation, at Tenant's expense (without limiting Landlord's other remedies available under this Lease or applicable Law). Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, grant to any third party, a security interest or lien in or on the Lines, and any such security interest or lien granted without Landlord's written consent shall be null and void. Except to the extent arising from the intentional or grossly negligent acts of Landlord or Landlord's agents or employees, Landlord shall have no liability for damages arising from, and Landlord does not warrant that the Tenant's use of any Lines will be free from the following (collectively called "Line Problems"): (x) any eavesdropping or wire-tapping by unauthorized parties, (y) any failure of any Lines to satisfy Tenant's requirements, or (z) any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, replacement, use or removal of Lines by or for other tenants or occupants of the Property, by any failure of the environmental conditions or the power supply for the Property to conform to any requirements for the Lines or any associated equipment, or any other problems associated with any Lines by any other cause. Under no circumstances shall any Line Problems be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, render Landlord liable to Tenant for abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Landlord in no event shall be liable for damages by reason of loss of profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising from any Line Problems. ARTICLE 3O. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS (A) Tenant shall not transport, use, store, maintain, generate, manufacture, handle, dispose, release or discharge any "Hazardous Material" (as defined below) upon or about the Property, or permit Tenant's employees, agents, contractors and other occupants of the Premises to engage in such activities upon or about the Property. However, the foregoing provisions shall not prohibit the transportation to and from, and use, storage, maintenance and handling within, the Premises of substances customarily used in offices (or such other business or activity expressly permitted to be undertaken in the Premises under Article 7), provided: (a) such substances shall be used and maintained only in such quantities as are reasonably necessary for such permitted use of the Premises, strictly in accordance with applicable Law and the manufacturers' instructions therefor, (b) such substances shall not be disposed of, released or discharge on the Property, and shall be transported to and from the Premises in compliance with all applicable laws, and as Landlord shall reasonably require, (c) if any applicable Law or Landlord's trash removal contractor requires that any such substances be disposed of separately from ordinary trash, Tenant shall make arrangements at Tenant's expense for such disposal directly with a qualified and licensed disposal company at a lawful disposal site (subject to scheduling and approval by Landlord), and shall ensure that disposal occurs frequently enough to prevent unnecessary storage of such substances in the Premises, and (d) any remaining such substances shall be completely, properly and lawfully removed from the Property upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of: (i) any enforcement, cleanup or other regulatory action taken or threatened by any governmental or regulatory authority with respect to the May 7, 1999 33 presence of any Hazardous Material on the Premises or the migration thereof from or to other property, (ii) any demands or claims made or threatened by any party against Tenant or the Premises relating to any loss or injury resulting from any Hazardous Materials, (iii) any release, discharge or nonroutine, improper or unlawful disposal or transportation of any Hazardous Material on or from the Premises, and (iv) any matters where Tenant is required by Law to give a notice to any governmental or regulatory authority respecting any Hazardous Material on the Premises. Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to join and participate as a party in any legal proceedings or actions affecting the Premises initiated in connection with any environmental, health or safety Law. At such times as Landlord may reasonably request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written list identifying any Hazardous Material then used, stored, or maintained upon the Premises, the use and approximate quantity of each such material, a copy of any material safety data sheet ("MSDS") issued by the manufacturer therefor, written information concerning the removal, transportation and disposal of the same, and such other information as Landlord may reasonably require or as may be required by Law. The term "Hazardous Material" for purposes hereof shall mean any chemical substance, material or waste or component thereof which is now or hereafter listed, defined or regulated as a hazardous or toxic chemical, substance, material or waste or component thereof by any federal, state or local governing or regulatory body having jurisdiction, or which would trigger any employee or community "right-to-know" requirements adopted by any such body, or for which any such body has adopted any requirements for the preparation or distribution of an MSDS. If any Hazardous Material is released, discharged or disposed of by Tenant or any other occupant of the Premises, or their employees, agents or contractors, on or about the Property In violation of the foregoing provisions, Tenant shall immediately, properly and in compliance with applicable Laws clean up and remove the Hazardous Material from the Property and any other affected property and clean or replace any affected personal property (whether or not owned by Landlord), at Tenant's expense. Such cleanup and removal work shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval (except in emergencies), and shall include, without limitation, any testing, investigation, and the preparation and implementation of any remedial action plan required by any governmental body having jurisdiction or reasonably required by Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to comply with the provisions of this Article within five (5) days after written notice by Landlord, or such shorter time as may be required by Law or in order to minimize any hazard to Persons or property, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) arrange for such compliance directly or as Tenant's agent through contractors or other parties selected by Landlord, at Tenant's expense (without limiting Landlord's other remedies under this Lease or applicable Law). If any Hazardous Material is released, discharged or disposed of on or about the Property and such release, discharge or disposal is not caused by Tenant or other occupants of the Premises, or their employees, agents or contractors, such release, discharge or disposal shall be deemed casualty damage under Article 13 to the extent that the Premises or common areas serving the Premises are affected thereby; in such case, Landlord and Tenant shall have the obligations and rights respecting such casualty damage provided under Article 13. (B) The parties acknowledge that the material used in certain of the fire-proofing materials applied to certain structural members in the Building and Property (which structural members are primarily located above the ceiling in the Premises) contains asbestos. In order to preserve the air quality of the Building and Property, Landlord has established, and from time to time may modify, rules and regulations governing the manner in which alterations and May 7, 1999 34 improvements are to be undertaken in the areas where the subject fire-proofing is located. Tenant shall comply with all such rules and regulations established by Landlord. If any governmental entity promulgates or revises a statute, ordinance, code or regulation, or imposes mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines with respect to the subject asbestos fire-proofing, or if Landlord is required or elects to make alterations or to remove the subject asbestos fire-proofing, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, comply with such mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines, or make such alterations or remove such asbestos fire-proofing; Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Tenant's business resulting from such alterations. Neither such compliance nor the making of alterations, nor the removal of all or a portion of such asbestos fire-proofing shall in any event entitle Tenant to any damages, relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay any sums due hereunder, or constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant. In accordance with Proposition 65 and the regulations promulgated thereunder which require that person subject to "environmental exposure" to certain designated chemicals, such as asbestos, receive warnings, you are advised that: WARNING: THE BUILDING CONTAINS ASBESTOS, A CHEMICAL KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER. ARTICLE 31.

However, Tenant may record a memorandum of lease upon Landlord's prior written consent and approval of the form thereof, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(D) All obligations or rights of either party arising during or attributable to the period ending upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall survive such expiration or earlier termination.

(F) This Lease does not grant any legal rights to "light and air" outside the Premises nor any particular view or cityscape visible from the Premises. May 7, 1999 35 (G) If the Commencement Date is delayed in accordance with Article 2 for more than one year, Landlord may declare this Lease null and void, and if the Commencement Date is so delayed for more than seven years, this Lease shall thereupon become null and void without further action by either party. (H) All remedies hereinbefore and hereafter conferred upon the parties hereto shall be deemed cumulative and no one shall be exclusive of the other, or shall in any way limit the availability to either party of any other remedy conferred by law, whether or not specifically conferred by the provisions of this Lease. ARTICLE 32. OFFER The submission and negotiation of this Lease shall not be deemed an offer to enter into the same by Landlord, but the solicitation of such an offer by Tenant. Tenant agrees that its execution of this Lease constitutes a firm offer to enter into the same which may not be withdrawn for a period of ten (10) business days after delivery to Landlord (or such other period as may be expressly provided in any other agreement signed by the parties). During such period and in reliance on the foregoing, Landlord may, at Landlords option (and shall, if required by applicable Law), deposit any security deposit and Rent, and proceed with any plans, specifications, alterations or improvements, and permit Tenant to enter the Premises, but such acts shall not be deemed an acceptance of Tenant's offer to enter this Lease, and such acceptance shall be evidenced only by Landlord signing and delivering this Lease to Tenant. ARTICLE 33. NOTICES Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, every notice or other communication to be given by either party to the other with respect hereto or to the Premises or Property, shall be in writing and shall not be effective for any purpose unless the same shall be served personally or by national air courier service, or United States certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if to Tenant, at the address first set forth in the Lease, and if to Landlord, at the address at which the last payment of Rent was required to be made and to Pine Street Investors I, L.L.C., c/o Danielson Whitehead, Inc., at 100 Pine Street, San Francisco, California 94111, Attn: Robert Whitehead, or such other address or addresses as Tenant or Landlord may from time to time designate by notice given as above provided. Every notice or other communication hereunder shall be deemed to have been given as of the third business day following the date of such mailing (or as of any earlier date evidenced by a receipt from such national air courier service or the United States Postage Service) or immediately if personally delivered. Notices not sent in accordance with the foregoing shall be of no force or effect until received by the foregoing parties at such addresses required herein. ARTICLE 34. SIGNAGE Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with standard building signage for Tenant's business name on the Building's main lobby directory, at the 21st floor elevator lobby and on the Premises May 7, 1999 36 entrance door. No other sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice (collectively, "Signs") shall be inscribed, displayed, printed or affixed on or to any part of the outside or inside of the Building without the written consent of Landlord first had and obtained. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may withhold its consent to the placing of Signs on the exterior of the Building in its sole and absolute discretion. ARTICLE 35. REAL ESTATE BROKERS Tenant represents that it has dealt only with CRESA/Belvedere Associates, Inc. and McPherson Corporation (whose commission, if any, shall be paid by Landlord pursuant to separate agreement) as broker, agent or finder in connection with this Lease and agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from any claims or demands of any other broker, agent or finder with whom Tenant has dealt or is claimed to have dealt for any commission or fee alleged to be due in connection with its participation in the procurement of Tenant or the negotiation with Tenant or execution of this Lease. Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from all damages, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from any claims or demands of any broker, agent or finder with whom Landlord has dealt or is claimed to have dealt for any commission or fee alleged to be due in connection with its participation in the procurement of Tenant or the negotiation with Tenant or execution of this Lease. ARTICLE 36. SECURITY DEPOSIT Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum of $158,404.75 ("Security Deposit"), upon Tenant's execution and submission of this Lease. The Security Deposit shall serve as security for the prompt, full and faithful performance by Tenant of the terms and provisions of this lease. In the event that Tenant is in Default hereunder, or in the event that Tenant owes any amounts to Landlord upon the expiration of this Lease, Landlord may use or apply the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of Tenant's obligations hereunder. The use or application of the Security Deposit or any portion thereof shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided hereunder or under any Law and shall not be construed as liquidated damages. In the event the Security Deposit is reduced by such use or application, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord within ten (10) days after written notice, an amount sufficient to restore the full amount of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from Landlord's general funds or pay interest on the Security Deposit. Any remaining portion of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant within sixty (60) days after Tenant has vacated the Premises in accordance with Article 22.

May 7, 1999 37 ARTICLE 37. ENTIRE AGREEMENT This Lease, together with Riders One through Three, Exhibit A, and the document captioned Work Agreement (WHICH COLLECTIVELY ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED WHERE REFERRED TO HEREIN AND MADE A PART HEREWITH AS THOUGH FULLY SET FORTH), contains all the terms and provisions between Landlord and Tenant relating to the matters set forth herein, and no prior or contemporaneous agreement or understanding pertaining to the same shall be of any force or effect, except any such contemporaneous agreement specifically referring to and modifying this Lease, signed by both parties. Without limitation as to the generality of the foregoing, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord's leasing agents and field personnel are only authorized to show the Premises and negotiate terms and conditions for leases subject to Landlord's final approval, and are not authorized to make any agreements, representations, understandings or obligations, binding upon Landlord, respecting the condition of the Premises or Property, suitability of the same for Tenant's business, or any other matter, and no such agreements, representations, understandings or obligations not expressly contained herein or in such contemporaneous written agreement shall be of any force or effect.

LANDLORD: PINE STREET INVESTORS I, L.L.C. a Delaware limited liability company By: Walton Street Real Estate Fund I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Managing Partner By: Walton Street Managers I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, General Partner By: WSC Managers I, Inc., a Delaware corporation, General Partner By:_____________________ Name:_________________ Title:________________ May 7, 1999 38 TENANT: ART TECHNOLOGY GROUP, a Delaware corporation By: /s/ Paul Shorthose ------------------------------------- Name: Paul Shorthose --------------------------- Its: Chief Operating Officer ---------------------------- By: /s/ Mahendrajeot Singh ------------------------------------- Name: Mahendrajeot Singh --------------------------- Its: President ---------------------------- 39 RIDER TWO OPTION TO EXTEND Tenant is hereby granted an option to extend the Term for a single additional period of five (5) consecutive Lease Years ("Extension Period"), on the same terms and conditions in effect under the Lease immediately prior to the Extension Period (and shall include any expansion premises actually leased by Tenant under the Lease), except that monthly Base Rent shall be increased to the Prevailing Rental Rate (as defined herein), and Tenant shall have no further option to extend. The option to extend may be exercised only by giving Landlord irrevocable and unconditional written notice thereof no earlier than one year and no later than nine months prior to the commencement of the Extension Period. Said exercise shall, at Landlord's election, be null and void if Tenant is in Default under the Lease at the date of said notice or at any time thereafter and prior to commencement of the Extension Period. The term "Lease Year" herein means each twelve month annual period, commencing with the first day of the Extension Period, without regard to calendar years. "Prevailing Rental Rate" means the average per square foot rental rate per month for all renewal leases for renewal periods approximately as long as the Extension Period, executed by tenants for similar uses and lengths of time for comparable space in the Building and comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Building during the six (6) months immediately prior to the date upon which such Prevailing Rental Rate is to become effective, where such renewal rates were not fixed in advance by the terms of such leases, subject to reasonable adjustments for comparable space on more or less desirable floors or areas of the Property. In all cases, such rates shall be based on the average net effective rate then being charged for similar spaces and for similar terms by landlords (after taking into account any "free rent" or periods of reduced rent, then generally being provided by landlords for similar deals). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining the Prevailing Rental Rate, Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit on account of any tenant improvement allowance recoupment component of prevailing rents paid generally by other tenants. Landlord agrees to make (or provide an allowance for) certain cosmetic improvements to the Premises such as painting, recarpeting, patching of walls, repair of doors, and replacement of ceiling tile, where same is necessary to generally make the Premises appear in "like new condition." Under no circumstances will Landlord be required to in any way reconfigure the Premises or do any other work other than the cosmetic work described above. If the parties are unable to agree on the Prevailing Rental Rate within sixty (60) days after the commencement of the Extension Period (the "Outside Agreement Date"), the Prevailing Rental Rate shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with Paragraphs (i) to (vii) below. (i) No later than fifteen (15) days following the Outside Agreement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall by profession be a real estate broker who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the 1 appraisal of office properties in the San Francisco, California area. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Prevailing Rental Rate is the most accurate as determined by the arbitrators. (i) The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within fifteen (15) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators. (ii) The three (3) arbitrators shall, within fifteen (15) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator, reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Prevailing Rental Rate, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. (iii) The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. (iv) If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the Outside Agreement Date, the arbitrator timely appointed by one of the parties shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator's decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. (v) If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, both arbitrators shall be dismissed and the matter to be decided shall be forthwith submitted to arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Such determination shall be final and binding upon the parties. (vi) The cost of arbitration shall be borne by Landlord and Tenant equally. In recognition that the Prevailing Rental may not be determined until after the commencement of the Extension Period, Tenant shall pay, during the Extension Period until the Prevailing Rental Rate is determined, 110% of the amount of Rent then in effect (including Base Rent, and all other charges). Under no circumstances shall the Rent during the Extension Period ever be less than 100% of such amount of Rent then in effect, regardless of the Prevailing Rental Rate, as determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If the Prevailing Rental Rate is determined to be greater than such amount, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written request therefor, the difference between the amount required by such determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate and the amount of Rent theretofore paid by Tenant during the Extension Period. If Tenant shall fail to exercise the option herein provided, said option shall terminate, and shall be null and void and of no further force and effect. Tenant's exercise of said option shall not operate to cure any default by Tenant of any of the terms or provisions in the lease, nor to extinguish or impair any rights or remedies of Landlord arising by virtue of such 2 default. If the Lease or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises shall terminate in any manner whatsoever before Tenant shall exercise the option herein provided, then immediately upon such termination, sublease or assignment, the option herein granted to extend the Term, shall simultaneously terminate and become null and void. Such option is personal to Tenant. Under no circumstances, whatsoever (except for a transfer to a Related Entity as expressly described in Article 17(G) of the Lease) shall the assignee under a complete or partial assignment of the Lease, or a subtenant under a sublease of the Premises, have any right to exercise the option to extend granted herein. Time is of the essence of this provision. 3 RIDER THREE OPTION TO EXPAND RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER During the period and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Tenant shall have an option to expand the Premises to include an additional full floor within the Building (the Expansion Space"), as set forth below. Tenant shall exercise its option to lease the Expansion Space only by giving Landlord irrevocable and unconditional written notice thereof no later than 5:00 p.m. on September 30, 2000. Upon receipt of such exercise by Tenant, Landlord shall, on or before January 31, 2001, identify to Tenant the location of the Expansion Space and the anticipated date of its availability, which shall be not later than October 1, 2002. The parties acknowledge and agree that a portion of the 20th floor of the Building, comprising 9,947 rentable square feet (Suite 2000), is currently leased to another tenant. If any lease for such space is not extended prior to January 31, 2001, Landlord shall identify Suite 2000 as the Expansion Space. In such case, the anticipated availability of such space shall be no later than July 1, 2001. Tenant hereby agrees that such space shall be considered the Expansion Space notwithstanding the fact that said space does not comprise a full floor. However, if the Expansion Space is identified as Suite 2000, Suite 2040 on the 20th floor of the Building, comprising 3,263 rentable square feet, shall be included as part of the Expansion Space if: (1) Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord of its desire to include Suite 2040 as part of the Expansion Space within ten (10) days following the date that Suite 2000 is identified as the Expansion Space by Landlord and (ii) Landlord is able to relocate the then existing tenant(s) of Suite 2040 without violating any terms, covenants or conditions of the then existing lease(s) therefor; in such case, Tenant shall pay any and all direct and indirect costs and expenses associated with and attributable to such relocation within thirty (30) days following Landlord's demand therefor. If Tenant does not elect to include Suite 2040 as part of the Expansion Space subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph, Tenant shall have, in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, a one-time right of first offer to lease Suite 2040 when and if it becomes available, commencing February 1, 2001 (the "First Offer Right"). The First Offer Right shall terminate upon the expiration or earlier termination of the initial Term of the Lease in the event Suite 2040 has not been offered to Tenant as provided herein during such initial term. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant's First Offer Right shall be subject and subordinate to the rights of tenants leasing said space when the First Offer Right becomes applicable (including, without limitation, extension options or other rights which may negatively impact or render unfeasible Tenant's First Offer Right), If Suite 2040 becomes available to lease to the general public from February 1, 2001 through the expiration or earlier termination of the 1 initial Lease Term, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the availability of such space. Landlord shall further notify Tenant of Landlord's then current rental rate and other terms and conditions applicable to such space, which Landlord shall determine in its sole but reasonable discretion. For a period of ten (10) days following receipt of Landlord's notice containing such information, Tenant shall have, on a one-time basis only, the right of first offer to lease Suite 2040, at the rental rate and on the terms and conditions set forth in Landlord's notice by delivering irrevocable and unconditional written notice thereof to Landlord. If Tenant fails to elect to lease such space within the ten (10) day period, then Landlord shall be entitled to lease such space to a third party or parties and Tenant's First Offer Right shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. If Tenant exercises its right to lease the Expansion Space as set forth herein, Tenant shall lease such premises in an "as is" condition, when the same becomes legally available to lease, on the same terms and provisions then in effect under the Lease, except that monthly Base Rent shall be increased to reflect the Prevailing Rental Rate for the Expansion Space and Tenant's Prorata Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be increased to reflect said additional space. "Prevailing Rental Rate" means the average per square foot rental rate per month for all leases for comparable space and approximately the same number of months, executed by tenants in the Building for office space expansions during the six (6) months immediately prior to the date upon which such Prevailing Rental Rate is to become effective and payable under the terms of this Lease, where the rates for such expansions were not set in such leases, subject to reasonable adjustments for comparable space on more desirable, or less desirable floors or areas of the Property. If no such comparable space has been leased during such six (6) month period, the rental rates used for purposes of this provision shall be adjusted to the amounts Landlord would have used had leases for such comparable space been entered into at the Building. In all cases, such rates shall be determined without regard to any free rent periods, improvement allowances, take-over lease obligations, or other economic incentives; however, any such economic incentives generally provided by Landlord in such comparable expansion leases shall also be provided to Tenant. In addition, if such comparable expansion leases include any economic provisions, such as but not limited to consumer price index provisions, utility reimbursements or fixed rent increases, the same shall be included in the expansion terms provided to Tenant. If Tenant exercises the right to lease the Expansion Space, said lease shall commence the date the Expansion Space is available for occupancy, and shall continue for the duration of the Term of the Lease (including any extension terms applicable under the Lease). After Tenant validly exercises the expansion right provided herein, the parties shall execute an amendment to the Lease, adding the Expansion Space, or a new lease for the Expansion Space, or such other documentation as Landlord shall require, promptly after Landlord shall prepare the same, in order to confirm the leasing of such Expansion Space to Tenant, but an otherwise valid exercise of the expansion rights contained herein shall be fully effective, whether or not such confirmatory documentation is executed. If the parties are unable to agree on the Prevailing Rental Rate within sixty (60) days after Landlord identifies the location thereof (the "Outside Agreement Date"), the Prevailing Rental 2 Rate shall be determined by arbitration consistent with the arbitration provisions applicable under Rider Two to the Lease (option to extend term). In recognition that the Prevailing Rental Rate may not be determined until after the commencement of the lease for the Expansion Space, Tenant shall pay, as Rent for the Expansion Space, until the Prevailing Rental Rate is determined, the amount of Rent then in effect under the Lease on a per rentable square foot basis (including Base Rent, and all other charges). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, under no circumstances shall the Rent under the Lease ever be less than such amount of Rent then in effect under the Lease on a per rentable square foot basis, regardless of the Prevailing Rental Rate, as determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If the prevailing Rental Rate is determined to be greater than such amount, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written request therefor, the difference between the amount required by such determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, and the amount theretofore paid by Tenant for the Expansion Space. The foregoing expansion right shall apply only with respect to the entire Expansion Space, and may not be exercised with respect to only a portion thereof. If Tenant shall fail to exercise such expansion right by the date set forth above, such right shall be deemed to have lapsed and expired, and shall be of no further force or effect. Landlord may thereafter freely lease all or a portion of the Expansion Space to any other party, at any time, on any terms, in Landlord's sole discretion. The foregoing expansion right shall be subject to any existing rights of any other parties to lease the Expansion Space, if such existing rights have already been granted prior to the date of this Lease; provided, however, Landlord hereby represents that as of the date hereof any existing rights do not make Landlord's ability to provide the Expansion Space unfeasible. If Tenant shall exercise the expansion right granted herein, Landlord does not guarantee that the Expansion Space will be available on the commencement date for the lease thereof, if the then existing occupants of the Expansion Space shall holdover, or for any other reason beyond Landlord's reasonable control. In such event, rent with respect to the Expansion Space shall be abated until Landlord legally delivers the same to Tenant, as Tenant's sole recourse. Tenant's exercise of such expansion right shall not operate to cure any default by Tenant of any of the terms and provisions in the Lease, nor to extinguish or impair any rights or remedies of Landlord arising by virtue of such default. The expansion right herein shall, at Landlords election, be null and void, if Tenant is in Default under the Lease on the date Tenant exercises its rights hereunder or at any time thereafter and prior to commencement of the lease for the Expansion Space. If the Lease or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises shall terminate in any manner whatsoever before Tenant shall exercise the right herein provided, or if Tenant shall have subleased or assigned all or any portion of the Premises (other than to a Related Entity as described in Article 17(G)), then immediately upon such termination, sublease or assignment, the right to lease the Expansion Space herein granted shall simultaneously terminate and become null and void. Such right is personal to Tenant and under no circumstances whatsoever shall the assignee under a complete or partial assignment of the Lease, or a subtenant under a sublease of the Premises, have any right to exercise the expansion right granted herein. Tenant agrees that time is of the essence of this provision. 3
