(d) Project Operating Expenses shall mean all Operating Expenses that are not included as Phase Operating Expenses (defined below) and that are not either Building Operating Expenses or operating expenses directly and separately identifiable to the operation, maintenance or repair of any other building located in the Project, but Project Operating Expenses includes operating expenses allocable to any areas of the Building or any other building during such time as such areas are made available by Landlord for the general common use or benefit of all tenants of the Project, and their employees and invitees, or the public, as such areas currently exist and as they may be changed from time to time;

(e) Building Operating Expenses shall mean Operating Expenses that are directly and separately identifiable to each building in which the Premises or part thereof is located;

(f) Phase Operating Expenses shall mean Operating Expenses that Landlord may allocate to a Phase as directly and separately identifiable to all buildings located in the Phase (including but not limited to the Building) and may include Project Operating Expenses that are separately identifiable to a Phase;

(g) Landlord shall have the right to reasonably allocate a particular item or portion of Operating Expenses as any one of Project Operating Expenses, Building Operating Expenses or Phase Operating Expenses; however, in no event shall any portion of Building Operating Expenses, Project Operating Expenses or Phase Operating Expenses be assessed or counted against Tenant more than once; and

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.01, as to each specific category of Operating Expense which one or more tenants of the Building either pays directly to third parties or specifically reimburses to Landlord (for example, separately contracted janitorial services or property taxes directly reimbursed to Landlord), then, on a category by category basis, the amount of Operating Expenses for the affected period shall be adjusted as follows: (1) all such tenant payments with respect to such category of expense and all of Landlord’s costs reimbursed thereby shall be excluded from Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Building Share, Tenant’s Phase Share or Tenant’s Project Share, as the case may be, for such category of Operating Expense shall be adjusted by excluding the square footage of all such tenants, and (2) if Tenant pays or directly reimburses Landlord for such category of Operating Expense, such category of Operating Expense shall be excluded from the determination of Operating Expenses for the purposes of this Lease.

4.02	RENT ADJUSTMENTS

Tenant shall pay to Landlord Rent Adjustments with respect to each Adjustment Year as follows:

(a) The Rent Adjustment Deposit representing Tenant’s Share of Landlord’s estimate of Operating Expenses, as described in Section 4.01, for the applicable Adjustment Year (or portion thereof) monthly during the Term with the payment of Monthly Base Rent, except the first installment which shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord concurrently with execution of this Lease; and

(b) Any Rent Adjustments due in excess of the Rent Adjustment Deposits in accordance with Section 4.02.

4.03	STATEMENT OF LANDLORD

Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible, Landlord will furnish Tenant a statement (“Landlord’s Statement”) showing the following: •

(a) Operating Expenses for the last Adjustment Year showing in reasonable detail the actual Operating Expenses categorized among Project Operating Expenses, Building Operating Expenses and Phase Operating Expenses for such period and Tenant’s Share of each as described in Section 4.01. above;

Any amounts due from Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Section shall be credited to the Rent Adjustment Deposit next coming due, or refunded to Tenant if the Term has already expired provided Tenant is not in default hereunder. No interest or penalties shall accrue on any amounts which Landlord is obligated to credit or refund to Tenant by reason of this Section 4.02. Landlord’s failure to deliver Landlord’s Statement or to compute the amount of the Rent Adjustments shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to deliver such items nor constitute a waiver or release of Tenant’s obligations to pay such amounts. The Rent Adjustment Deposit shall be credited against Rent Adjustments due for the applicable Adjustment Year. During the last complete calendar year or during any partial calendar year in which the Lease terminates, Landlord may include in the Rent Adjustment Deposit its estimate of Rent Adjustments which may not be finally determined until after the termination of this Lease.

If Tenant does not object in writing to Landlord’s Statement within sixty (60) days of Tenants receipt thereof, specifying the nature of the item in dispute and the reasons therefor, then Landlord’s Statement shall be considered final and accepted by Tenant. Any amount due to the Landlord as shown on Landlord’s Statement, whether or not disputed by Tenant as provided herein shall be paid by Tenant when due as provided above, without prejudice to any such written exception.

In the event such audit discloses (i) errors made during the prior calendar year which, when totaled, established that the sum overcharged to and paid by Tenant exceeds five percent (5%) of the actual (as distinguished from estimated) amount of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes, Tenant’s costs of the audit shall be paid by Landlord, or (ii) no errors or an error which equals or is less than five percent (5%), Tenant’s costs of the audit shall be paid by Tenant. If the audit determines that any sums are due and owing Tenant, such sums shall be credited to the next payment of Rent unless the Lease has been terminated, in such event Landlord shall promptly pay Tenant such amount.

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it is a condition of Tenant’s right to conduct an audit pursuant to the foregoing, that Tenant and/or its representative, prior to commencement of such audit, execute a confidentiality agreement whereby Tenant and/or its representative agree to keep confidential and not disclose to any other party ( other than Tenant’s employees involved in such audit, and other professionals directly involved in the audit or results thereof) the results of any such audit or any action taken by Landlord in response thereto, except if required to disclose such information as required by applicable law or court order.

SECURITY DEPOSIT

5.01	CASH DEPOSIT

(a) Tenant shall pay Landlord, concurrently with execution of this Lease, in immediately available funds the amount of the Security Deposit specified in Section 1.01(14) as security (“Security”) for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of each and every term, provision, covenant, and condition of this Lease. If Tenant fails timely to perform any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease or any other document executed by Tenant in connection with this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of any Rent or

the repair of damage to the Premises caused by Tenant (excluding normal wear and tear) then Landlord may use, apply, or retain the whole or any part of the Security for the payment of any such Rent not paid when due, for the cost of repairing such damage, for the cost of cleaning the Premises, for the payment of any other sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s failure to perform, and otherwise for compensation of Landlord for any other loss or damage to Landlord occasioned by Tenants failure to perform, including, but not limited to, any loss of future Rent and any damage or deficiency in the releting of the Premises (whether such loss, damages or deficiency accrue before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord) and the amount of the unpaid past Rent, future Rent loss, and all other losses, costs and damages, that Landlord would be entitled to recover if Landlord were to pursue recovery under Section 11.02(b) or (c) of this Lease. If Landlord so uses, applies or retains all or part of the Security, Tenant shall within five (5) business days after demand pay or deliver to Landlord in immediately available funds the sum necessary to replace the amount used, applied or retained, except as specified in (c) below. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of Tenants terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Security (except any amount retained for application by Landlord as provided herein) shall be returned or paid over to Tenant no later than forty-five (45) days after the latest of (i) the Termination Date; (ii) the removal of Tenant from the Premises; (iii) the surrender of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with this Lease; or (iv) the date Rent Adjustments owed pursuant to this Lease have been computed by Landlord and paid by Tenant. Provided, however, in no event shall any such return be construed as an admission by Landlord that Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder.

(b) The Security shall not be deemed an advance rent deposit or an advance payment of any kind, or a measure of Landlord’s damages with respect to Tenants failure to perform, nor shall any action or inaction of Landlord with respect to it be a waiver of, or bar or defense to, enforcement of any right or remedy of Landlord. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security separate from its general funds and shall not have any fiduciary or other duties concerning the Security except as set forth in this Section. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security. In the event of any sale, lease or transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security, or balance thereof, to the vendee, transferee or lessee and any such transfer shall release Landlord from all liability for the return of the Security. Tenant thereafter shall look solely to such vendee, transferee or lessee for the return or payment of the Security. Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Security or any interest in it and Landlord shall not be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance, and regardless of one or more assignments of this Lease, Landlord may return the Security to the original Tenant without liability to any assignee. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights of Tenant under the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code or other Law, now or hereafter enacted, regarding security deposits.

The First Return shall be paid to Tenant by cash or check. Within thirty (30) days following the last day of the thirty sixth (3e) month of

the Term, Landlord shall return to Tenant the sum of $45,000 of the Security Deposit (“Second Return”), provided that at the time of such Second Return, Tenant shall not be in Default under the Lease. The Second Return shall be paid to Tenant by cash or check. Within thirty (30) days following the last day of the forty eighth (4e) month of the Term, Landlord shall return to Tenant the sum of $45,000 of the Security Deposit (“Third Return”), provided that at the time of such Third Return, Tenant shall not be in Default under the Lease. The Third Return shall be paid to Tenant by cash or check. Within thirty (30) days following the last day of the sixtieth (60th) month of the Term, Landlord shall return to Tenant the sum of $45,000 of the Security Deposit (“Fourth Return”), provided that at the time of such Fourth Return, Tenant shall not be in Default under the Lease. The Fourth Return shall be paid to Tenant by cash or check. Within thirty (30) days following the last day of the seventy second (72m) month of the Term, Landlord shall return to Tenant the sum of $45,000 of the Security Deposit (“Fifth Return”), provided that at the time of such Fifth Return, Tenant shall not be in Default under the Lease. The Fifth Return shall be paid to Tenant by cash or check.

5.02	LETTER OF CREDIT

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have the option to deliver to Landlord a Letter of Credit (as set forth below) in lieu of the Security Deposit set forth in Section 5.01 above. If Tenant elects to post a Letter of Credit in lieu of the Security Deposit, then the following shall apply:

(a) No later than February 1, 2004, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Letter of Credit described below as security for Tenant’s performance of all of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that neither the Letter of Credit nor any Letter of Credit Proceeds (as defined below) shall be deemed an advance rent deposit or an advance payment of any other kind, or a measure of Landlord’s damages upon Tenant’s default. The Letter of Credit shall be maintained in effect from the date thereof through January 31, 2011 (the “LOC Expiration Date”), and provided that on the LOC Expiration Date, Tenant shall not be in Default, Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of Credit and any Letter of Credit Proceeds then held by Landlord (other than those held for application by Landlord on account of a Default as provided below). Landlord shall not be required to segregate the Letter of Credit Proceeds from its other funds and no interest shall accrue or be payable to Tenant with respect thereto. Landlord may (but shall not be required to) draw upon the Letter of Credit and use the proceeds therefrom (the “Letter of Credit Proceeds”) or any portion thereof to cure any Default under this Lease, it being understood that any use of the Letter of Credit Proceeds shall not constitute a bar or defense to any of Landlord’s remedies set forth in this Lease. In such event and upon written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the amount of the Letter of Credit Proceeds so utilized by Landlord and the particular purpose for which such amount was applied, Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord an amendment Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of the required Letter of Credit and the amount so expended. Tenant’s failure to deliver such amendment to the Letter of Credit or replacement Letter of Credit to Landlord within five (5) business days of Landlord’s notice shall constitute a Default hereunder. If Tenant is not in Default on the LOC Expiration Date, within forty-five (45) days after such date, Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of Credit or the balance of the Letter of Credit Proceeds then held by Landlord; provided, however, that in no event shall any such return be construed as an admission

by Landlord that Tenant has performed all of its obligations hereunder. No purchaser at any judicial or private foreclosure sale of the Real Property or any portion thereof, shall be responsible to Tenant for such Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit Proceeds unless such holder or purchaser shall have actually received the same.

(b) As used herein, Letter of Credit shall mean an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Letter of Credit”) issued by the San Francisco Bay Area office of a major national bank satisfactory to Landlord (the “Bank”), naming Landlord as beneficiary, in the initial amount of Four Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($450,000.00). The Letter of Credit shall be for not less than a one-year term and shall provide that (i) Landlord may make partial and multiple draws upon the Letter of Credit up to the full amount thereof, as determined by Landlord, (ii) the Bank will pay to Landlord the amount of such draw upon receipt by the Bank of a sight draft signed by Landlord, together with a written certification from Landlord that Tenant is in Default, (iii) Landlord is therefore entitled to draw such amount; and (iv) in the event of Landlord’s assignment or other transfer of its interest in this Lease, the Letter of Credit shall be freely transferable by Landlord, without charge and without recourse, to the assignee or transferee of such interest and the Bank shall confirm the same to Landlord and such assignee or transferee. In the event that the Bank shall fail to notify Landlord that the Letter of Credit will be renewed for at least one (1) year beyond the then applicable expiration date, and Tenant shall not have delivered to Landlord, at least thirty (30) days prior to the relevant annual expiration date, a replacement Letter of Credit in the amount required hereunder and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above, then Landlord shall be entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit as provided above, and shall hold the proceeds of such draw as Letter of Credit Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.02(a) above.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein, if Tenant is not in Default under the Lease on February 1, 2006, the replacement Letter of Credit may be issued in the amount of Four Hundred Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($405,000.00). If Tenant is not in Default under the Lease on February 1, 2007, the replacement Letter of Credit may be issued in the amount of Three Hundred Sixty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($360,000.00). If Tenant is not in Default under the Lease on February 1, 2008, the replacement Letter of Credit may be issued in the amount of Three Hundred Fifteen Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($315,000.00). If Tenant is not in Default under the Lease on February 1, 2009, the replacement Letter of Credit may be issued in the amount of Two Hundred Seventy Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($270,000.00). If Tenant is not in Default under the Lease on February 1, 2010, the replacement Letter of Credit may be issued in the amount of Two Hundred Twenty Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($225,000.00).

(d) The cost of the Letter of Credit shall be paid by Tenant.

If Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all the terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions of this Lease, the Letter of Credit, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Tenant after the following:

(a) the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease;

(b) the removal of Tenant and its property from the Premises;

(d) the payment by Tenant of any outstanding Rent, including, without limitation, all Rent Adjustments due pursuant to the Lease as computed by Landlord.

If Tenant fails timely to perform any obligation under this Article Five, such breach shall constitute a Default by Tenant under this Lease without any right to or requirement of any further notice or cure period under any other Article of this Lease, except such notice and cure period expressly provided under this Article Five.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, without, in each instance, the prior written consent of Landlord, as more particularly provided in Article Nine, Tenant shall not make any alterations or additions to the electric or gas equipment or systems or other Building systems. Tenant’s use of electric current shall at no time exceed the capacity of the wiring, feeders and risers providing electric current to the Premises or the Building. The consent of Landlord to the installation of electric equipment shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to limit usage of electricity to no more than such capacity.

6.03	TELEPHONE SERVICES

All telegraph, telephone, and communication connections which Tenant may desire to construct or install outside the Premises shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in Landlord’s sole discretion, and the location of all wires and the work in connection therewith shall be performed by contractors reasonably approved by Landlord and shall be subject to the direction of Landlord, except that such approval is not required as to Tenant’s cabling from the Premises in a route designated by Landlord to any telephone cabinet or panel provided for Tenant’s connection to the telephone cable serving the Building, so long as Tenant’s equipment does not require connections different than or additional to those to the telephone cabinet or panel provided. As to any such connections or work outside the Premises requiring Landlord’s approval, Landlord reserves the right to designate and control the entity or entities providing telephone or other communication cable installation, removal, repair and maintenance outside

the Premises and to restrict and control access to telephone cabinets or panels. In the event Landlord designates a particular vendor or vendors to provide such cable installation, removal, repair and maintenance for the Building, Tenant agrees to abide by and participate in such program. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay all costs incurred in connection with the installation of telephone cables and communication wiring in the Premises, including any hook-up, access and maintenance fees related to the installation of such wires and cables in the Premises and the commencement of service therein, and the maintenance thereafter of such wire and cables; and there shall be included in Operating Expenses for the Building all installation, removal, hook-up or maintenance costs incurred by Landlord in connection with telephone cables and communication wiring serving the Building which are not allocable to any individual users of such service but are allocable to the Building generally. If Tenant fails to maintain all telephone cables and communication wiring in the Premises and such failure affects or interferes with the operation or maintenance of any other telephone cables or communication wiring serving the Building, Landlord or any vendor hired by Landlord may enter into and upon the Premises forthwith and perform such repairs, restorations or alterations as Landlord deems necessary in order to eliminate any such interference (and Landlord may recover from Tenant all of Landlord’s costs in connection therewith). No later than the Termination Date, Tenant agrees to remove all telephone cables and communication wiring installed by Tenant for and during Tenant’s occupancy, which Landlord shall request Tenant to remove. Tenant agrees that neither Landlord nor any of its agents or employees shall be liable to Tenant, or any of Tenant’s employees, agents, customers or invitees or anyone claiming through, by or under Tenant, for any damages, injuries, losses, expenses, claims or causes of action because of any interruption, diminution, delay or discontinuance at any time for any reason in the furnishing of any telephone or other communication service to the Premises and the Building, except in connection with Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

In the event of any failure, stoppage or interruption of, or change in, any utilities or services supplied by Landlord which are not directly obtained by Tenant, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to have service promptly resumed. In either event covered by the preceding two sentences, if the cause of any such failure, stoppage or interruption of, or change in, utilities or services is within, the control of a public utility, other public or quasi- public entity, or utility provider outside Landlord’s control, notification to such utility or entity of such failure, stoppage or interruption and request to remedy the same shall constitute “reasonable diligence by Landlord to have service promptly resumed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the contrary, in the event of any failure, stoppage or interruption of, or change in, any utility or other service famished to the Premises or the Project resulting from any cause, including changes in service provider or Landlord’s compliance with any voluntary or similar governmental or business guidelines now or hereafter published or any requirements now or hereafter established by any governmental agency, board or bureau having jurisdiction over the operation of the Property: (a) Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant shall not be entitled to, any abatement or reduction of Rent; (b) no such failure, stoppage, or interruption of any such utility or service shall constitute an eviction of Tenant or relieve Tenant

of the obligation to perform any covenant or agreement of this Lease to be performed by Tenant; (c) Landlord shall not be in breach of this Lease nor be liable to Tenant for damages or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the above, except for the interruption of the foregoing services arising by reason of fire or casualty loss provided for in Article 14, any interruption of such services which is within Landlord’s reasonable control and which ‘materially interferes’ with Tenant’s use of any part of the Premises for a period of ten (10) consecutive business days after notice by Tenant to Landlord of such interruption of service shall entitle Tenant to abate the Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustment under this Lease for that portion of the Premises which are untenantable for the period commencing on the eleventh (11^th) business day of interruption of such services and terminating on the day of restoration of the services. For purposes of this Section 6.04, material interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises shall occur when Tenant shall be prevented from using the Premises for general office purposes, research and development, chemical and biochemical laboratory facilities, and warehousing as a consequence of Landlord’s inability to provide the services specified in Section 6.01. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any damages, consequential or otherwise.

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may, at Landlord’s sole option, to the extent permitted by applicable law, elect to change, from time to time, the company or companies which provide services (including electrical service, gas service, water, telephone and technical services) to the Property, the Premises and/or its occupants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not and does not make any representations or warranties concerning the identity or identities of the company or companies which provide services to the Property and the Premises or its occupants and Tenant acknowledges that the choice of service providers and matters concerning the engagement and termination thereof shall be solely that of Landlord. The foregoing provision Is not intended to modify, amend, change or otherwise derogate any provision of this Lease concerning the nature or type of service to be provided or any specific information concerning the amount thereof to be provided. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and each of its service providers in connection with any change in service or provider and Landlord agrees that any such change shall be at no cost to Tenant and that Landlord and any such service provider shall work together to minimize any impact of such change on Tenants operations.

6.06

ARTICLE TEN

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

10.01

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

(a) Without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, Tenant may not sublease, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Lease or the encumbering of Tenant’s interest therein in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises, or any part thereof, by anyone other than Tenant, provided, however, if Landlord chooses not to recapture the space proposed to, be subleased or assigned as provided in Section 10.02, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a subletting or assignment under this Section 10.01. Tenant agrees that the provisions governing sublease and assignment set forth in this Article Ten shall be deemed to be reasonable. If Tenant desires to enter into any sublease of the Premises or assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver written notice thereof to Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”), together with the identity of the proposed subtenant or assignee and the proposed principal terms thereof and financial and other information sufficient for Landlord to make an informed judgment with respect to such proposed subtenant or assignee at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement date of the term of the proposed sublease or assignment. If Tenant proposes to sublease less than all of Tenant’s Rentable Area of the Premises, the space proposed to be sublet and the space retained by Tenant must each be a marketable unit as reasonably determined by Landlord and otherwise in compliance with all Laws. Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment or its decision to exercise its rights under Section 10.02 within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Notice (and all required information). In no event may Tenant sublease any portion of the Premises or assign the Lease to any other tenant of the Project Tenant shall submit for Landlord’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) any advertising which Tenant or its agents intend to use with respect to the space proposed to be sublet.

(b) With respect to Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublease, Landlord may take into consideration any factors which Landlord may deem relevant, and the reasons for which Landlord’s denial shall be deemed to be reasonable shall include, without limitation, the following:

(i) the business reputation or creditworthiness of any proposed subtenant or assignee is not acceptable to Landlord; or

(ii) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment the proposed assignee or subtenant would diminish the value or reputation of the Building or Landlord; or

(iii) any proposed assignees or subtenant’s use of the Premises would violate Section 7.01 of the Lease or would violate the provisions of any other eases of tenants in the Project;

(iv) the proposed assignee or subtenant is either a government agency, a school or similar operation, or a medical related practice; or

(v) the proposed subtenant or assignee is a bona fide prospective tenant of Landlord in the Project as demonstrated by a written proposal dated within ninety (90) days prior to the date of Tenants request or

(vi) the proposed subtenant or assignee would materially increase the estimated pedestrian and vehicular traffic to and from the Premises and the Building.

In no event shall Landlord be obligated to consider a consent to any proposed assignment of the Lease which would assign less than the entire Premises. In the event Landlord wrongfully withholds its consent to any proposed sublease of the Premises or assignment of the Lease, Tenants sole and exclusive remedy therefor shall be to seek specific performance of Landlord’s obligations to consent to such sublease or assignment.

(c) Any sublease or assignment shall be expressly subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Any subtenant or assignee shall execute such documents as Landlord may reasonably require to evidence such subtenant or assignee’s assumption of the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all agreements executed by Tenant and the proposed subtenant and assignee with respect to the Premises. Landlord’s approval of a sublease, assignment, hypothecation, transfer or third party use or occupancy shall not constitute a waiver of Tenants obligation to obtain Landlord’s consent to further assignments or subleases, hypothecations, transfers or third party use or occupancy.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article Ten, Tenant shall have the right, without the prior written consent of Landlord, to sublease the Premises to an Affiliate, or to assign this Lease to an Affiliate, but (i) no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the assignment or sublease, the assignee or sublessee shall execute documents satisfactory to Landlord to evidence such subtenant or assignee’s assumption of the obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease, except in the case of any assignment which occurs by operation of law (and without a written assignment) as a consequence of merger, consolidation or non-bankruptcy reorganization; (ii) within ten (10) days after the effective date of such assignment or sublease, give notice to Landlord which notice shall include the full name and address of the assignee or subtenant, and a copy of all agreements executed between Tenant and the assignee or subtenant with respect to the Premises; and (iii) within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s request, such documents or information which Landlord reasonably requests for the purpose of substantiating whether or not the assignment or sublease is to an Affiliate.

For the purposed of this Lease, “Affiliate” shall mean any corporation or other business entity which (i) is currently owned or controlled by, owns or controls, or is under common ownership or control with Tenant, or (ii) is Tenants successor through merger, reorganization or consolidation, or (in) acquires substantially all of the assets of Tenant

10.02

RECAPTURE

Landlord shall have the option to exclude from the Premises covered by this Lease (“recapture”), the space proposed to be sublet or subject to the assignment, effective as of the proposed commencement date of such sublease or assignment. If Landlord elects to recapture, Tenant shall surrender possession of the space proposed to be subleased or subject to the assignment to Landlord on the effective date of recapture of such space from the Premises, such date being the Termination Date for such space. Effective as of the date of recapture of any portion of the Premises pursuant to this section, the Monthly Base Rent, Tenants Rentable Area of the Premises and Tenants Share shall be adjusted accordingly.

10.03

EXCESS RENT

Tenant shall pay Landlord on the first day of each month during the term of the sublease or assignment, fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the sum of all rent and other consideration (direct or indirect) due from the subtenant or assignee for such month exceeds: (i) that portion of the Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments due under this Lease for said month which is allocable to the space sublet or assigned; and (ii) the following costs and expenses for the subletting or assignment of such space: (1) brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees and expenses, (2) the actual costs paid in making any improvements or substitutions in the Premises required by any sublease or assignment; and (3) “free rent” periods, costs of any inducements or concessions given to subtenant or assignee, moving costs, and other amounts in respect of such subtenant’s or assignee’s other leases or occupancy arrangements. All such costs and expenses shall be amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment pursuant to sound accounting principles.

10.04

TENANT LIABILITY

In the event of any sublease or assignment, whether or not with Landlord’s consent Tenant shall not be released or discharged from any liability, whether past, present or future, under this Lease, including any liability arising from the exercise of any renewal or expansion option, to the extent such exercise is expressly permitted by Landlord. Tenant’s liability shall remain primary, and in the event of default by any subtenant, assignee or successor of Tenant in performance or observance of any of the covenants or conditions of this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against said subtenant, assignee or successor. After any assignment, Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease, or amendments or modifications of this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying 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. If Landlord grants consent to such sublease or assignment, Tenant shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to such assignment or sublease. In addition, if Tenant has any options to extend the term of this Lease or

to add other space to the Premises, such options shall not be available to any subtenant or assignee, directly or indirectly without Landlord’s express written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion.

10.05

ASSUMPTION AND ATTORNMENT

If Tenant shall assign this Lease as permitted herein, the assignee shall expressly assume all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder in a written instrument satisfactory to Landlord and furnished to Landlord not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the assignment. If Tenant shall sublease the Premises as permitted herein, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, within fifteen (15) days following any request by Landlord, obtain and furnish to Landlord the written agreement of such subtenant to the effect that the subtenant will attorn to Landlord and will pay all subrent directly to Landlord.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

11.01

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

The occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following shall constitute a “Default” by Tenant under this Lease:

(i) Tenant fails to pay any installment or other payment of Rent including Rent Adjustment Deposits or Rent Adjustments within three (3) days after the date when due;

(ii) Tenant fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or the Workletter and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant, unless the default involves a hazardous condition, which shall be cured forthwith or unless the failure to perform is a Default for which this Lease specifies there is no cure or grace period;

(iii) the interest of Tenant in this Lease is levied upon under execution or other legal process;

(iv) a petition is filed by or against Tenant to declare Tenant bankrupt or seeking a plan of reorganization or arrangement under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Act, or any amendment, replacement or substitution therefor, or to delay payment of, reduce or modify Tenant’s debts, which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within thirty (30) days;

(v) Tenant is declared insolvent by Law or any assignment of Tenant’s property is made for the benefit of creditors;

(vi) a receiver is appointed for Tenant or Tenant’s property, which appointment is not discharged within thirty (30) days;

(vii) any action taken by or against Tenant to reorganize or modify Tenant’s capital structure in a materially adverse way which in the case of an involuntary action is not discharged within thirty (30) days;

(viii) upon the dissolution of Tenant; or

(ix) upon the third occurrence within any Lease Year that Tenant fails to pay Rent when due or has breached a particular covenant of this Lease (whether or not such failure or breach is thereafter cured within any stated cure or grace period or statutory period).

11.02

LANDLORD’S REMEDIES

(a) A Default shall constitute a breach of the Lease for which Landlord shall have the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 11.02 and all other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease or now or hereafter allowed by Law, whether legal or equitable, and all rights and remedies of Landlord shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other right or remedy.

(b) With respect to a Default, at any time Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession by written notice to Tenant stating such election. Any written notice required pursuant to Section 11.01 shag constitute notice of unlawful detainer pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 if at Landlord’s sole discretion, it states Landlord’s election that Tenant’s right to possession is terminated after expiration of any period required by Law or any longer period required by Section 11.01. Upon the expiration of the period stated in Landlord’s written notice of termination (and unless such notice provides an option to cure within such period and Tenant cures the Default within such period), Tenant’s right to possession shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate, and Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. Upon such termination in writing of Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to re-enter the Premises and dispossess Tenant and the legal representatives of Tenant and all other occupants of the Premises by unlawful detainer or other summary proceedings, or otherwise as permitted by Law, regain possession of the Premises and remove their property (including their trade fixtures, personal property and those Tenant Additions which Tenant is required or permitted to remove under Article Twelve), but Landlord shall not be obligated to effect such removal, and such property may, at Landlord’s option, be stored elsewhere, sold or otherwise dealt with as permitted by Law, at the risk of, expense of and for the account of Tenant, and the proceeds of any sale shall be applied pursuant to Law. Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of any such property. Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Landlord’s removing or storing Tenant’s personal property pursuant to this Section or Section 12.01, and Tenant hereby indemnifies, and agrees to defend, protect and hold harmless, the Indemnitees from any and all loss, claims, demands, actions, expenses, liability and cost (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or in any way related to such removal or storage. Upon such written termination of Tenant’s right to possession and this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to recover damages for Tenants Default as provided below:

(1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination;

(2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided;

(3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and

(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. The word *rent’ as used in this Section 11.02 shall have the same meaning as the defined term Rent in this Lease. The *worth at the time of award* of the amount referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above is computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate. The worth at the time of award of the amount referred to in clause (3) above is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). For the purpose of determining unpaid Rent under clause (3) above, the monthly Rent reserved in this Lease shall be deemed to be the sum of the Monthly Base Rent, and monthly Storage Space Rent, if any, and the amounts last payable by Tenant as Rent Adjustments for the calendar year in which Landlord terminated this Lease as provided hereinabove.

(c) Even if Tenant is in Default and/or has abandoned the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession by written notice as provided in Section 11.02(b) above, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due under this Lease. In such event, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies of a landlord under California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue Lease in effect after Tenant’s Default and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), or any successor statute. During such time as Tenant is in Default, if Landlord has not terminated this Lease by written notice and if Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises, subject to Landlord’s option to recapture pursuant to Section 10.02, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such assignment or sublease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Article Ten shall be deemed to constitute reasonable limitations of Tenant’s right to assign or sublet. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in the absence of written notice pursuant to Section 11.02(b) above terminating Tenant’s right to possession, no other act of Landlord shall constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession or an acceptance of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises, including acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease or the withholding of consent to a subletting or assignment, or terminating a subletting or assignment, if in accordance with other provisions of this Lease.

(d) In the event that Landlord seeks an injunction with respect to a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay the premium for any bond required in connection with such injunction.

(e) Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to relief from forfeiture, redemption or reinstatement granted by Law (including California Civil Code of Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179) in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of Tenant’s Default or otherwise;

(f) When this Lease requires giving or service of a notice, that notice shall replace rather than supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice, including any equivalent or similar notices required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor statute. When a statute requires service of a notice in a particular manner, service of that notice (or a similar notice required by this Lease) in the manner required by Article Twenty-four shall replace and satisfy the statutory service—of—notice procedures, including those required by Code of Civil Procedure section 1162 or any similar or successor statute.

(g) The voluntary or other surrender or termination of this Lease, or a mutual termination or cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and shall terminate all or any existing assignments, subleases, subtenancies or occupancies permitted by Tenant, except if and as otherwise specified in writing by Landlord.

(h) No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord upon any default by Tenant, and no exercise by Landlord of its rights pursuant to Section 26.15 to perform any duty which Tenant fails timely to perform, shall impair any right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in a writing signed by Landlord. The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of this Lease.

11.03

ATTORNEY’S FEES

In the event any party brings any suit or other proceeding with respect to the subject matter or enforcement of this Lease, the prevailing party (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by the court, agency or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is commenced) shall, in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation as actually incurred, including court costs, expert witness fees, costs and expenses of investigation, and all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in any such suit or proceeding (including in any action or participation in or in connection with any case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, 11 United States Code Sections 101 el

or any successor statutes, in establishing or enforcing the right to indemnification, in appellate proceedings, or in connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any such suit or proceeding).

11.04

BANKRUPTCY

The following provisions shall apply in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Tenant:

(a) In connection with any proceeding under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code where the trustee of Tenant elects to assume this Lease for the purposes of assigning it, such election or assignment, may only be made upon compliance with the provisions of (b) and (c) below, which conditions Landlord and Tenant acknowledge to be commercially reasonable. In the event the trustee elects to reject this Lease then Landlord shall immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or the trustee.

(b) Any election to assume this Lease under Chapter 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code by Tenant as debtor-in-possession or by Tenant’s trustee (the “Electing Party”) must provide for.

The Electing Party to cure or provide to Landlord adequate assurance that it will cure all monetary defaults under this Lease within fifteen (15) days from the date of assumption and it will cure all nonmonetary defaults under this Lease within thirty (30) days from the date of assumption. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge such condition to be commercially reasonable.

(c) If the Electing Party has assumed this Lease or elects to assign Tenant’s interest under this Lease to any other person, such interest may be assigned only if the intended assignee has provided adequate assurance of future performance (as herein defined), of all of the obligations imposed on Tenant under this Lease.

For the purposes hereof, “adequate assurance of future performance” means that Landlord has ascertained that each of the following conditions has been satisfied:

(i) The assignee has submitted a current financial statement, certified by its chief financial officer, which shows a net worth and working capital in amounts sufficient to assure the future performance by the assignee of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and

(ii) Landlord has obtained consents or waivers from any third parties which may be required under a lease, mortgage, financing arrangement, or other agreement by which Landlord is bound, to enable Landlord to permit such assignment

(d) Landlord’s acceptance of rent or any other payment from any trustee, receiver, assignee, person, or other entity will not be deemed to have waived, or waive, the

requirement of Landlord’s consent, Landlord’s right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Tenant’s interest under this Lease without such consent, or Landlord’s claim for any amount of Rent due from Tenant.

11.05

LANDLORD’S DEFAULT

Landlord shall be in default hereunder in the event Landlord has not begun and pursued with reasonable diligence the cure of any failure of Landlord to meet its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant of the alleged failure to perform. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or rescind this Lease as a result of Landlord’s default as to any covenant or agreement contained in this Lease. Tenant hereby waives such remedies of termination and rescission and hereby agrees that Tenant’s remedies for default hereunder and for breach of any promise or inducement shall be limited to a suit for damages and/or injunction. In addition, Tenant hereby covenants that, prior to the exercise of any such remedies, it will give Mortgagee notice and a reasonable time to cure any default by Landlord as set forth in Section 23.02.

ARTICLE TWELVE

The provisions of this Article shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any re-entry rights of Landlord and Tenant’s continued occupancy of the Premises shall be as a tenancy in sufferance.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY

14.01

SUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY

(a) If any fire or other casualty (whether insured or uninsured) renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable, Landlord shall, with reasonable promptness after the occurrence of such damage, estimate the length of time that will be required to substantially complete the repair and restoration and shall by notice advise Tenant of such estimate (“Landlord’s Notice”). If Landlord estimates that the amount of time required to substantially complete such repair and restoration will exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date such damage occurred, then Landlord, if Landlord is concurrently terminating the leases of all other tenants in the Building that the Premises are located, or Tenant, if all or a substantial portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable, shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage upon giving written notice to the other at any time within thirty (30) days after delivery of Landlord’s Notice, provided that if Landlord so chooses, Landlords Notice may also constitute such notice of termination. In addition, if such damage is to the Premises and occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, either Tenant or Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by giving written notice thereof to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of such casualty.

(b) In the event that the Building is damaged or destroyed to the extent of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of its replacement cost or to any extent if no insurance proceeds or insufficient insurance proceeds are receivable by Landlord, or if the buildings at the

Project shall be damaged to the extent of fifty percent (50%) or more of the replacement value or to any extent if no insurance proceeds or insufficient insurance proceeds are receivable by Landlord, and regardless of whether or not the Premises be damaged, Landlord may elect by written notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the casualty to terminate this Lease in lieu of so restoring the Premises, in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in Landlord’s notice, which date shall be no later than sixty (60) days following the date of Landlord’s notice.

(c) Unless this Lease is terminated as provided in the preceding Subsections 14.01 (a) and (b), Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness to repair and restore the Premises to its condition as existed prior to such casualty, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and Force Majeure delays, and also subject to zoning Laws and building codes then in effect.

(d) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of any insurance coverage, whether carried by Landlord or Tenant, for damages to the Premises, except for those proceeds of Tenant’s insurance of its own personal property, trade fixtures and equipment which would be removable by Tenant at the Termination Date. All such insurance proceeds relating to damage to the Premises shall be payable to Landlord whether or not the Premises are to be repaired and restored, provided, however, if this Lease is not terminated and the parties proceed to repair and restore Tenant Additions at Tenant’s cost, to the extent Landlord received proceeds of Tenant’s insurance covering Tenant Additions, such proceeds shall be applied to reimburse Tenant for its cost of repairing and restoring Tenant Additions.

Whether or not the Lease is terminated pursuant to this Article Fourteen, in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive from Landlord any compensation or damages for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by any such damage, destruction, rebuilding or restoration of the Premises or the Building or access thereto.

(f) Any repair or restoration of the Premises performed by Tenant shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine hereof.

14.02

INSUBSTANTIAL UNTENANTABILITY

Unless this Lease is terminated as provided in the preceding Subsections 14.01 (a) and (b), then Landlord shall proceed to repair and restore the Building or the Premises other than Tenant Additions, with reasonable promptness, unless such damage is to the Premises and occurs

during the last six (6) months of the Term, in which event either Tenant or Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such casualty by giving written notice thereof to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of such casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s obligation to repair shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.01 above.

14.03

RENT ABATEMENT

Except for the negligence or willful act of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, if all or any part of the Premises are rendered untenantable by fire or other casualty and this Lease is not terminated, Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments shall abate for that part of the Premises which is untenantable on a per diem basis from the date of the casualty until thirty (30) days after Landlord has Substantially Completed the repair and restoration work in the Premises which it is required to perform, provided, that as a result of such casualty, Tenant does not occupy the portion of the Premises which is untenantable during such period.

14.04

WAIVER OF STATUTORY REMEDIES

The provisions of this Lease, including this Article Fourteen, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, the Premises or the Property or any part of either, and any Law, including Sections 1932(2), 1933(4), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction shall have no application to this Lease or to any damage to or destruction of all or any part of the Premises or the Property or any part of either, and are hereby waived.

TAKING OF WHOLE OR SUBSTANTIAL PART

In the event the whole or any substantial part of the Building or of the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose (including a deed given in lieu of condemnation) and is thereby rendered untenantable, this Lease shall terminate as of the date title vests in such authority or any earlier date on which possession is required to be surrendered to such authority, and Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments shall be apportioned as of the Termination Date. Further, if at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable area of the Project is taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose (including a deed given in lieu of condemnation), and regardless of whether or not the Premises be so taken or condemned, Landlord may elect by written notice to Tenant to terminate this Lease as of the date tile vests in such authority or any earlier date on which possession is required to be surrendered to such authority, and Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments shall be apportioned as of the Termination Date. Landlord may, without any obligation to Tenant, agree to sell or convey to the taking authority the Premises, the Building, Tenant’s Phase, the Project or any portion thereof sought by the taking authority, free from this Lease and the right of Tenant hereunder, without first requiring that any action or proceeding be instituted or, if instituted, pursued to a judgment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein set forth, in

the event the taking of the Building or Premises is temporary (for less than the remaining term of the Lease), Landlord may elect either (i) to terminate this Lease or (ii) permit Tenant to receive the entire award attributable to the Premises in which case Tenant shall continue to pay Rent and this Lease shall not terminate.

15.02

TAKING OF PART

In the event a part of the Building or the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent authority (or a deed is delivered in lieu of condemnation) and this Lease is not terminated, the Lease shall be amended to reduce or increase, as the case may be, the Monthly Base Rent and Tenant’s Share to reflect Tenant’s Rentable Area of the Premises or Building, as the case may be, remaining after any such taking or condemnation. Landlord, upon receipt and to the extent of the award in condemnation (or proceeds of sale) shall make necessary repairs and restorations to the Premises (exclusive of Tenant Additions) and to the Building to the extent necessary to constitute the portion of the Building not so taken or condemned as a complete architectural and economically efficient unit Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of any taking, or a governmental order that the grade of any street or alley adjacent to the Building is to be changed and such taking or change of grade makes it necessary or desirable to substantially remodel or restore the Building or prevents the economical operation of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to Tenant.

15.03

COMPENSATION

Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award (or sale proceeds) from any such taking, condemnation or sale without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right separately to pursue against the condemning authority a separate award in respect of the loss, if any, to Tenant Additions paid for by Tenant without any credit or allowance from Landlord, for fixtures or personal property of Tenant, or for relocation or business interruption expenses, so long as there is no diminution of Landlord’s award as a result

If Tenant is unable to obtain in such policy or policies either of the clauses described in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall, if legally possible and without necessitating a change in insurance carriers, have Landlord named in such policy or policies as an additional insured. If Landlord shall be named as an additional insured in accordance with the foregoing, Landlord agrees to endorse promptly to the order of Tenant, without recourse, any check, draft, or order for the payment of money representing the proceeds of any such policy or representing any other payment growing out of or connected with said policies, and Landlord does hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights in and to such proceeds and payments.

(c) Provided that Landlord’s right of full recovery under its policy or policies aforesaid is not adversely affected or prejudiced thereby, Landlord hereby waives any and all right of recovery which it might otherwise have against Tenant, its servants, agents and employees, for loss or damage occurring to the Real Property and the fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein, except Tenant Additions, to the extent the same is covered by Landlord’s insurance, notwithstanding that such loss or damage may result from the negligence or fault of Tenant, its servants, agents or employees. Provided that Tenant’s right of full recovery under its aforesaid policy or policies is not adversely affected or prejudiced thereby, Tenant hereby waives any and all right of recovery which it might otherwise have against Landlord, its servants, and employees and against every other tenant in the Real Property who shall have executed a similar waiver as set forth in this Section 16.04 (c) for loss or damage to Tenant Additions, whether or not removable, and to Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, fixtures and other property removable by Tenant under the provisions hereof to the extent the same is covered or coverable by Tenant’s insurance required under this Lease, notwithstanding that such loss or damage may result from the negligence or fault of Landlord, its servants, agents or employees, or such other tenant and the servants, agents or employees thereof.

with a certificate of insurance or copy of such policies showing the naming of the other as an additional insured, as aforesaid. Landlord and Tenant hereby also agree to notify the other promptly of any cancellation or change of the terms of any such policy which would affect such clauses or naming. All such policies which name both Landlord and Tenant as additional insureds shall, to the extent obtainable, contain agreements by the insurers to the effect that no act or omission of any additional insured will invalidate the policy as to the other additional insureds.

This subordination shall be self-operative and no further certificate or instrument of subordination need be required by any such Mortgagee or ground lessor. In confirmation of such subordination, however, Tenant shall execute promptly any reasonable certificate or instrument that Landlord, Mortgagee or ground lessor may request Tenant hereby constitutes Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute such certificate or instrument for and on behalf of Tenant upon Tenant’s failure to do so within fifteen (15) days of a request to do so.

Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the Mortgagee or ground lessor shall have an additional thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then if the Mortgagee or ground lessor agrees to cure such default, then the Mortgagee or ground lessor shall have such additional time as may be necessary, if, within such thirty (30) days, any Mortgagee or ground lessor has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default, but in no event shall said thirty (30) day period be extended by more than forty-five (45) days. Such period of time shall be extended by any period within which such Mortgagee or ground lessor is prevented from commencing or pursuing such foreclosure proceedings or other proceedings to acquire possession of the Real Property by reason of Landlord’s bankruptcy. Until the time allowed as aforesaid for Mortgagee or ground lessor to cure such defaults has expired without cure, Tenant shall have no right to, and shall not, terminate this Lease on account of default This Lease may not be modified or amended so as to reduce the rent or shorten the term, or so as to adversely

26.21

OPTION TO EXTEND

(a) Landlord hereby grants Tenant a single option to extend the initial Term of the Lease for an additional period of five (5) years (such period may be referred to as the “Option Term”), as to the entire Premises as it may then exist, upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section (the “Option To Extend”), and provided that at the time of exercise of such right: (I) Tenant must be in occupancy of the entire Premises; and (ii) there has been no material adverse change in Tenant’s financial position from such position as of the date of execution of the Lease, as certified by Tenant’s independent certified public accountants, and as supported by Tenant’s certified financial statements, copies of which shall be delivered to Landlord with Tenants written notice exercising its right hereunder.

(b) Tenant’s election (the “Election Notice”) to exercise the Option To Extend must be given to Landlord in writing no earlier than the date which is twelve months (12)

months before the Expiration Date and no later than the date which is nine (9) months before the Expiration Date. If Tenant either fails or elects not to exercise its Option to Extend by not timely giving its Election Notice, then the Option to Extend shall be null and void.

(c) The Option Term shall commence immediately after the expiration of the initial Term of the Lease. Tenant’s leasing of the Premises during the Option Term shall be upon and subject to the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease except that (i) the Monthly Base Rent, plus payment of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses pursuant to the Lease (in addition to all expenses paid directly by Tenant to the utility or service provider, which direct payments shall continue to be Tenant’s obligation) shall be amended to equal the “Option Term Rent”, defined and determined in the manner set forth in the immediately following Subsection; (ii) the Security Deposit, if any, shall be increased within fifteen (15) days after the Prevailing Market Rent has been determined to equal one hundred percent (100%) of the highest monthly installment of Monthly Base Rent thereunder, but in no event shall the Security Deposit be decreased; (iii) Tenant shall accept the Premises in its “AS-IS” condition without any obligation of Landlord to repaint, remodel, repair, improve or alter the Premises or to provide Tenant any allowance therefor; and (iv) there shall be no further option or right to extend the term of the Lease. If Tenant timely and properly exercises the Option To Extend, references in the Lease to the Term shall be deemed to mean the initial Term as extended by the Option Term unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

(d) The Option Term Rent shall mean the greater of (i) the Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease calculated at the rate applicable for the last full month of the initial Term, plus payment of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses pursuant to the Lease (in addition to all expenses paid directly by Tenant to the utility or service provider, which direct payments shall continue to be Tenant’s obligation) (collectively, “Preceding Rent”) or (ii) the “Prevailing Market Rent”. As used in this Section Prevailing Market Rent shall mean the rent and all other monetary payments, escalations and triple net payables by Tenant, including consumer price increases, that Landlord could obtain from a third party desiring to lease the Premises for a term equal to the Option Term and commencing when the Option Term is to commence under market leasing conditions, and taking Into account the following: the size, location and floor levels of the Premises; the type and quality of tenant improvements (including Tenant’s Improvements); age and location of the Project; quality of construction of the Project; services to be provided by Landlord or by tenant; the rent, all other monetary payments and escalations obtainable for new leases of space comparable to the Premises in the Project and in comparable buildings in the mid- Peninsula area, and other factors that would be relevant to such a third party in determining what such party would be willing to pay therefor, provided, however, that Prevailing Market Rent shall be determined without reduction or adjustment for “Tenant Concessions” (as defined below), if any, being offered to prospective new tenants of comparable space. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term’ “Tenant Concessions” shall include, without limitation, so-called free rent, tenant improvement allowances and work, moving allowances, and lease takeovers. The determination of Prevailing Market Rent based upon the foregoing criteria shall be made by Landlord, in the good faith exercise of Landlord’s business judgment. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s exercise of the Option To Extend, Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s determination of Option Term Rent for the Premises. If Landlord’s determination of Prevailing Market Rent is greater than the Preceding Rent, and if Tenant, in Tenant’s sole discretion, disagrees with the amount of Prevailing Market Rent

determined by Landlord, Tenant may elect to revoke and rescind the exercise of the option by giving written notice thereof to Landlord within thirty (30) days after notice of Landlord’s determination of Prevailing Market Rent.

(e) This Option to Extend is personal to Codex’s Inc. and may not be used by, and shall not be transferable or assignable (voluntarily or involuntarily) to any person or entity except for a Tenant Affiliate.

(f) Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, Landlord shall have the option, exercisable at any time prior to commencement of the Option Term, to terminate all of the provisions of this Section with respect to the Option to Extend, with the effect of canceling and voiding any prior or subsequent exercise so this Option to Extend is of no force or effect:

(i) Tenant’s failure to timely exercise the Option to Extend in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

(ii) The existence at the time Tenant exercises the Option to Extend or at the commencement of the Option Term of any default on the part of Tenant under the Lease or of any state of facts which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a default.

(iii) Tenants third default under the Lease prior to the commencement of the Option Term, notwithstanding that all such defaults may subsequently be cured.

In the event of Landlord’s termination of the Option to Extend pursuant to this Section, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs and expenses Landlord incurs in connection with Tenants exercise of the Option to Extend including, without limitation, costs and expenses with respect to any brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees, and with respect to the design, construction or making of any tenant improvements, repairs or renovation or with respect to any payment of all or part of any allowance for any of the foregoing.

(g) Without limiting the generality of any provision of the Lease, time shall be of the essence with respect to all of the provisions of this Section.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Lease has been executed as of the date set forth in Section 1.01(4) hereof.
