Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1. PROPERTY: Landlord rents to Tenant and Tenant rents from Landlord, the real property and improvements described as:                                                                          (“Premises”), including the following personal property: all stereo and television systems and rack to be included, large screen TV in family room and all satellite dishes and receivers, all window coverings, draperies and washer and dryer. Tenant acknowledges that all systems and appliances will be received in “as is” condition.
2. TERM: The term begins on January 1, 2007 (“Commencement Date”) and shall terminate on February 29, 2008 at 11:59 p.m., subject to Tenant’s Options to extend set forth in Paragraph 35 hereto. Any holding over after the term of this Lease expires, with Landlord’s consent, shall create a month-to-month tenancy which either party may terminate by giving written notice to the other at least thirty (30) days prior to the intended termination date. Such notice may be given on any date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Landlord shall not, however, exercise its right to terminate the Lease, as long as the Executive is a full-time Executive Vice President in good standing at Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (“Cadence”), unless Tenant defaults under the Lease. Rent shall be at a rate equal to rent for the immediately preceding month, unless otherwise notified by Landlord, payable in advance. All other terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect during the holdover period.
3. RENT: Tenant agrees to pay rent (“Rent”) at the rate of Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars and 00/100 ($7,500) per month for the initial term of the Lease. Rent shall be payable in advance no later than the first (1st) day of each calendar month, and is delinquent on the next day. If the Commencement Date falls on any day other than the first day of the month, rent shall be prorated based on a 30-day period and paid in advance. If Tenant has paid one full month’s rent in advance of the Commencement Date, rent for the second calendar month shall be prorated based on a 30-day period. The rent shall be paid to 849 College Avenue, Inc., at 2655 Seely Avenue, Building 5, San Jose, California 95134 Attention: Cadence Real Estate, or at any other location specified by Landlord in writing to Tenant.
4. SECURITY DEPOSIT:
     (a) Tenant has paid Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) as a security deposit (“Security Deposit”). All or any portion of the Security Deposit may be used, as reasonably necessary, to: (1) cure Tenant’s default in payment of Rent, Late Charges, NSF fees, or other sums due; (2) repair damage, excluding ordinary wear and tear, caused by Tenant or by a guest or licensee of Tenant; (3) clean the Premises, if necessary, upon termination of tenancy; or (4) replace or return personal property or appurtenances. Subject to Landlord’s offset for nonpayment, the Security Deposit shall not be used by Tenant in lieu of payment of last month’s

 


 

rent. If all or any portion of the Security Deposit is used during the tenancy, Tenant agrees to reinstate the Security Deposit to its full amount within five (5) days after written notice is delivered to Tenant. Within three (3) weeks after Tenant vacates the Premises, Landlord shall (1) furnish Tenant an itemized statement indicating the amount of any Security Deposit received and the basis for its disposition, and (2) return any remaining portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant. No interest will be paid on the Security Deposit, unless required by local law.
     (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 4, in the event that Tenant fails to timely make any payment of Rent or other monetary payment under this Lease (“Tenant’s Monetary Default”), Landlord shall immediately offset Tenant’s Monetary Default against the Security Deposit on the date upon which Tenant’s Monetary Default occurs. If the Security Deposit is insufficient to offset the amount of Tenant’s Monetary Default, Landlord shall offset from Kevin Bushby’s earnings from Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (“Cadence”) an amount equal to Tenant’s Monetary Default, on the date upon which Tenant’s Monetary Default occurs. Furthermore, as a condition of this Lease, Tenant has or shall execute and deliver to Cadence a Request for Automatic Payment of Rent Through Payroll Deduction. In the event Kevin Bushby revokes the agreement authorizing the automatic payment of rent to Landlord via payroll deduction, or in the event that agreement is otherwise invalidated or rendered unenforceable, Landlord has the right to, and may at its option, immediately terminate the Lease.
5. PARKING: The right to parking is included in the Rent charged pursuant to Paragraph 3. Driveways or other exterior areas designed for parking are to be used for parking operable motor vehicles, except for trailers, boats, campers, buses or trucks (other than pick-up trucks). Parking areas are to be kept clean. Vehicles leaking oil, gas or other motor vehicle fluids shall not be parked on the Premises. Mechanical work or storage of inoperable vehicles is not allowed in parking areas or elsewhere on the Premises.
6. LATE CHARGE/NSF CHECKS: Tenant acknowledges that either late or non-payment of Rent or issuance of a non-sufficient funds (“NSF”) check may cause Landlord to incur costs and expenses, the exact amount of which are extremely difficult and impractical to determine. These costs may include, but are not limited to, processing, enforcement and accounting expenses. If any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord on the date due, or if a check is returned NSF, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, respectively, or Landlord may immediately deduct from the Security Deposit or Tenant’s Cadence earnings an additional sum of $50.00 as a “Late Charge” and $25.00 as a NSF fee, either or both of which shall be deemed additional Rent. Landlord and Tenant agree that these charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord may incur by reason of Tenant’s late or NSF payment. Any Late Charge or NSF fee due shall be paid with the current installment of Rent. Landlord’s acceptance of any Late Charge or NSF fee shall not constitute a waiver as to any default of Tenant. Landlord’s right to collect a Late Charge or NSF fee shall not be deemed an extension of the date Rent is due under Paragraph 3, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies under this Lease, including, without limitation, under Paragraph 4(b) hereof, or as otherwise provided by law.
7. CONDITION OF PREMISES: Tenant has examined the Premises, all furniture, furnishings, appliances and landscaping, if any, and fixtures, including smoke detector(s). Tenant is accepting the Premises in “as-is” condition.

To the extent permitted by law, such fifteen (15) day notice shall constitute the sole and exclusive notice required to be given to Tenant under applicable unlawful detainer statutes.
30. LANDLORD’S REMEDIES. In the event of any default or breach of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord may at any time thereafter, without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have by reason of such default:

     (b) Maintain Tenant’s right to possession in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have vacated or abandoned the Premises. In such event

- 6 -


 

Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder. The Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4.
     (c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws of the State of California. Unpaid installments of rent and other unpaid monetary obligations of Tenant under the terms of this Lease shall bear interest from the date due at the maximum rate then allowable by law.
31. ATTORNEY’S FEES: In any action or proceeding arising out of this Lease, the prevailing party between Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

The parties further intend that this Lease constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of its terms, and that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial or other proceeding, if any, involving this Lease. Any provision of this Lease which is held to be invalid shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision in this Lease.
33. AGENCY. There are no agency relationship(s) for this transaction.
34. OPTION TO TERMINATE. Landlord or Tenant, upon one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to the other, may terminate this Lease for any or no reason in such party’s sole discretion and upon the expiration of said one hundred eighty (180) day period, all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the Premises shall forever cease (including, without limitation, Tenant’s rights under Paragraph 35 hereof). Upon such termination, the provisions of Paragraph 18 of the Lease shall apply. Landlord will not, however, exercise its right to terminate the Lease, except upon Executive’s default thereunder, during Executive’s full-time employment as an Executive Vice President in good standing with Cadence.
35. OPTION(S) TO EXTEND.
     (a) So long as no default exists under the terms of this Lease, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) additional twelve (12) month periods (each, an “Option”, collectively, the “Options”) commencing when the applicable prior term expires upon each and all of the following terms and conditions:
          (i) To exercise an Option, Tenant must give written notice of such election to Landlord at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date that the Option period would commence (the “Option Notice”). If the Option Notice is not delivered in accordance with the terms of this Lease, the Option shall automatically expire. Each Option may only be exercised consecutively.
          (ii) Any extension of the term pursuant to an Option (“Option Term”) shall be under the same terms and conditions as provided in this Lease except for the provisions of this Lease granting the Options and adjustment to the Rent.

- 7 -


 

          (iii) The Options are personal to the original Tenant, and cannot be assigned or exercised by anyone other than said original Tenant and only while the original Tenant is in full possession of the Premises.
          (iv) The monthly Rent of an Option Term shall be calculated using the method set forth in subparagraph (b) below.
     (b) If the Lease expires during Executive’s employment as an Executive Vice President in good standing with Cadence, Landlord will negotiate in good faith to extend the term of the Lease. In the event Executive’s employment as an Executive Vice PresidentCadence is terminated other than for Cause (as defined in Section 4.2 of Executive’s Employment Agreement, executed on May 26, 2004) or if Executive resigns his employment as an Executive Vice President as a result of an event constituting Constructive Termination (as defined in Section 4.3 of Executive’s Employment Agreement, executed on May 26, 2004), the Landlord will not exercise its right to terminate the Lease, except upon Executive’s default thereunder, such that Executive will remain a tenant until 12 months following the date upon which Executive’s employment as an Executive Vice President with Cadence is terminated other than for Cause or as a result of a Constructive Termination.
     (c) Market Rental Value Adjustments.
     (i) On the commencement date of each Option Term, the Rent shall be adjusted to the Market Rental Value (“MRV”) of the Premises. Within fifteen (15) days of receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s Option Notice, Landlord shall select an appraiser (“Appraiser”) with at least ten (10) years of current experience in the appraisal of similar real property in Santa Clara County, California. The Appraiser shall hold an MAI designation (or such other designation as may be the pre-eminent appraisal designation) and shall not have had, within the last five (5) years previous to such appointment, a legal, business, financial, professional or personal relationship with either Landlord or Tenant, except in relation to the determination of prior MRV for this Lease. The Appraiser shall determine the MRV within thirty (30) days of the date of Tenant’s Option Notice. In determining the MRV, the Appraiser shall be guided by the following principles: the MRV shall be determined by reference to residential properties in the Santa Clara County area most comparable to the Premises and shall take into account, but not be limited to, the size, age and quality of the improvements. The MRV determined by the Appraiser shall be in writing and shall become the Rent for the succeeding option term; provided that the new monthly MRV-based Rent shall not be less than the Rent payable for the month immediately preceding the rent adjustment. If Tenant is unwilling to pay the Rent as adjusted by the MRV (or if no adjustment is made in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence), Tenant shall so notify Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt of the written determination of the new Rent and the Option (and all future Option(s)) shall automatically terminate with no further rights and obligations on either party with respect to the same, and this Lease shall terminate on the scheduled expiration date. The Landlord shall pay all costs and expenses of the Appraiser.

36. OPTION TO PURCHASE.
     (a) Grant. Landlord grants to Tenant an option to purchase the Premises (the “Purchase Option”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Paragraph 36.
     (b) Purchase Notice. To exercise the Purchase Option, Tenant must give Landlord written notice exercising the Purchase Option (the “Purchase Notice”) at least one hundred twenty-one (121) days prior to the expiration of the Term (as the Term may be extended pursuant to Section 35 above). Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of the Purchase Notice shall form an agreement to purchase and sell the Premises (the “Agreement to Purchase”), which shall consist of the terms and conditions in this Paragraph 36, as supplemented at Landlord’s option by a standard realtor association form purchase and sale agreement to be mutually acceptable to the parties, as reasonably modified to acknowledge the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant since the Commencement Date (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”).
     (c) Appraisal; Fair Market Rent. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by Tenant to Landlord for the Premises shall be the greater of (i) $5,500,000, or (ii) the then fair market value (the “Fair Market Value”) of the Premises. The Fair Market Value of the Premises will be determined as follows. Within fifteen (15) days following the date of Tenant’s Purchase Notice, Landlord and Tenant each shall select an appraiser with the qualifications set forth in Paragraph 35. The two appraisers appointed hereunder shall timely meet to determine the Fair Market Value of the Premises based on the most probable price which the Premises should bring in a competitive and open market in an arms-length transaction with reference to comparable residential properties in the Santa Clara County area most comparable to the Premises and taking into account, without limitation, the size, age and quality of the improvements of the Premises. The two appraisers shall deliver a written appraisal to the parties within thirty (30) days following the appointment of the second appraiser. If the two appraisers are unable to reach agreement during said 30-day period, the two appraisers shall appoint a third appraiser within ten (10) days. Within fifteen (15) days following the appointment of the third appraiser, the appraisers shall deliver a written appraisal to the parties, which appraisal shall be based on the majority opinion of the three appraisers. All appraisers appointed pursuant to this Paragraph 36 shall have the qualifications set forth in Paragraph 35 above. Each party shall be responsible for the cost of the appraiser it appoints and one-half of the cost of the third appraiser (if one is appointed), except as provided in Paragraph 36(d) below.
     (d) Purchase Price. If the Fair Market Value contained in the appraisal delivered hereunder is greater than $5,500,000, the Fair Market Value shall be the Purchase Price of the Premises. In such event and only in such event, Tenant may elect not to proceed with the purchase of the Premises by giving written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the appraisal. Upon delivery of such notice, the Purchase Option shall automatically terminate with no further rights and obligation on either party with respect to the same, other than Tenant’s obligation to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s appraiser costs, which reimbursable appraiser costs shall constitute additional Rent under this Lease.
     (e) Close of Purchase Transaction; Payment of Purchase Price. Unless Tenant elects to cancel the purchase of the Premises pursuant to Paragraph 36(d) above, the close of the purchase transaction shall occur through an escrow established by the parties no later than

- 9 -


 

forty-five (45) days following delivery of the appraisal, unless Landlord and Tenant agree to another closing date. The Purchase Price for the Premises shall be paid to the appointed escrow holder all in cash on the close of escrow and shall be reduced by the cost of any cosmetic or capital improvements made to the Premises by Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease or otherwise approved by the Landlord. This Lease shall continue in full force and effect up to the close of escrow.
     (f) Personal Nature. The Purchase Option is personal to Tenant and may not be transferred to, or exercised for the benefit of, any third party. If this Lease is terminated as a result of a breach or default by Tenant, or if Tenant transfers this Lease with or without Landlord’s written consent, the Purchase Option shall expire and be of no further force or effect. If Tenant is in breach or default under this Lease (i) on the date the Purchase Notice is given, or (ii) on the Closing Date, the same shall constitute a breach or default under the Agreement to Purchase and, at Landlord’s election, Landlord may terminate the sale of the Premises.
