Lease Agreement
The Basic Lease Information and this Lease are, and shall be construed as, a single instrument.
1. Premises
Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant upon the terms and conditions contained herein. For purposes of this Lease, the term Premises shall mean and refer to the entirety of the Building located on the Lot. Additionally, for purposes of this Lease, the term Lot shall mean and refer to the land upon which the Building is situated. The term Common Areas means and collectively refers to those portions of the Lot exclusive of the Building and shall include but not be limited to parking areas, access and perimeter roads, sidewalks, landscaped areas and similar areas and facilities. Tenant shall also have the exclusive right to use the Common Areas. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that for purposes of this Lease, as of the Lease Date, the rentable square footage area of each of the Premises and the Building shall be deemed to be the number of rentable square feet as set forth in the Basic Lease Information. Tenant further agrees that the number of rentable square feet of the Building may subsequently change after the Lease Date commensurate with any physical modifications to the Building by Landlord approved in writing by Tenant, and an appropriate adjustment shall be made to the Rent hereunder.
2. Occupancy; Adjustment of Commencement Date
2.1 If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Anticipated Commencement Date (defined below) in the condition specified in Section 5 hereof, Landlord shall neither be subject to any liability nor shall the validity of this Lease be affected; provided, the Term and the obligation to pay Rent shall commence on the date possession is actually tendered to Tenant and the Expiration Date shall be extended commensurately. If the Commencement Date of this Lease is other than the Anticipated Commencement Date, the parties shall execute a written amendment to this Lease, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, specifying the actual commencement date, expiration date and the date on which Tenant is to commence paying Rent. Tenant shall execute and return such amendment to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenants receipt thereof. The word Term means the initial term of this Lease and any valid extension(s) thereof.
2.2 Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that (a) Tenant currently leases and occupies the Premises from Tatem Operations, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Current Landlord), pursuant to a lease dated July 31, 2001, as amended by amendments dated November 7, 2002, September 19, 2003 and the License Agreement dated March 16, 2004 (collectively, the Current Lease), (b) Tenant has established a Letter of Credit with Current Landlord under the Current Lease in the amount of One Hundred Forty Three Thousand Four Hundred Ninety Five Dollars and Four Cents ($143,495.04) (the Current LOC), and (c) Landlord is currently in escrow with Current Landlord to acquire the Building and the Lot (collectively, the Property) which escrow is being held by First American Title Company, located at 1737 North First Street, Suite 100, San Jose, California 95112, attention Ms. Renée C. Stenesen (Escrow Holder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Lease that Landlord close escrow and acquire the Property on terms and conditions satisfactory to Landlord, at Landlords sole and absolute discretion (collectively, the Closing), provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the Closing as soon as reasonably practicable. Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice (i) not less than five (5) business days prior to the anticipated date for the Closing to occur (the Anticipated Commencement Date) or (ii) promptly upon Landlords determination that the Closing will not occur. The Closing shall be deemed to have occurred upon the close of the escrow for the purchase the Property, including the delivery of the deed from Current Landlord to Landlord and the payment and disbursement of the purchase price of the Property in accordance with the purchase and sale agreement therefor. This Lease will commence upon the actual day on which the Closing occurs (the Commencement Date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Closing has not occurred for any reason whatsoever by February 28, 2006, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice thereof to Landlord and this Lease will be of no force and effect and the Current Lease will continue in full force and effect. If Landlord elects to take title to the Property in the name of an affiliate or other third party, references in this Section 2.2 to Landlord shall be deemed to refer to such affiliate or third party and, prior to the Closing, Landlord shall assign all of its interest in this Lease to such affiliate or third party and cause such affiliate or third party to assume all of Landlords obligations under this Lease.
2.3 Simultaneously with the Closing, (i) Current Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a termination agreement whereby the Current Lease is terminated as of the date of the Closing; provided, such termination shall be conditioned upon the full execution and effectiveness of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant and (ii) Landlord shall be obligated to terminate the Current LOC by executing a termination certificate for the Current LOC as mutually agreed with Tenant.
3. Rent
Three (3) business days prior to the Anticipated Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Escrow Holder the Advance Rent (which shall be applied against the Rent payable for the first month(s) Tenant is required to pay Rent), the Security Deposit, the Letter of Credit and all insurance certificates required to be delivered by Tenant under Section 12 of this Lease (collectively, the Pre-Commencement Items). In addition to the Pre-Commencement Items, Tenant shall deliver to Escrow Holder irrevocable instructions for the Pre-Commencement Items to be delivered to Landlord upon the Closing (Tenants Escrow Instructions) and Tenant shall concurrently deliver a copy of Tenants Escrow Instructions to Landlord. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, without prior notice or demand, abatement, offset, deduction or claim, in advance at Landlords Address, within three (3) business days of the Commencement Date and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each month throughout the Term (i) Base Rent and (ii) Operating Expenses, Tax Expenses, and Utility Expenses, as Additional Rent. The term Rent means the aggregate of all these amounts. If Landlord permits Tenant to occupy the Premises without requiring Tenant to pay rental payments for a period of time, the waiver of the requirement to pay rental payments shall only apply to the waiver of Base Rent. If any rental payment date (including the Commencement Date) falls on a day of the month other than the first day of such month or if any rental payment is for a period which is shorter than one (1) month, then the rental for any such fractional month shall be a proportionate amount of a full calendar months rental based on the proportion that the number of days in such fractional month bears to the number of days in the calendar month during which the fractional month occurs. All other payments or adjustments required to be made under the terms of this Lease that require proration on a time basis shall be prorated in the same manner. To the extent not already paid as part of the Advance Rent any prorated Rent shall be paid on the Commencement Date, and any prorated Rent for the final calendar month hereof shall be paid on the first day of the calendar month in which the date of expiration or termination occurs.
4. Security Deposit
Three (3) business days prior to the Anticipated Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Escrow Holder, as a Security Deposit for the faithful performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, the amount specified in the Basic Lease Information. If Tenant is in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods hereunder, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, use all or any portion of the Security Deposit to cure the default or to compensate Landlord for all damages sustained by Landlord in connection therewith. Tenant shall, immediately on demand, pay to Landlord a sum equal to the portion of the Security Deposit so applied or used to replenish the amount of the Security Deposit held to increase such deposit to the amount initially deposited with Landlord. Subject to the foregoing, within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit to Tenant, less such amounts as are reasonably necessary, as determined by Landlord, to remedy Tenants default(s) hereunder or to otherwise restore the Premises to the condition required under Section 10.2 of this Lease. If the cost to restore the Premises exceeds
-3-
the amount of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord any and all of such excess sums. Landlord shall not be required to segregate the Security Deposit from other funds, and, unless required by law, interest shall not be paid on the Security Deposit. Tenant shall not have any use of, or right of offset against, the Security Deposit. Tenant hereby waives (i) California Civil Code Section 1950.7 (or any successor law) and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (Security Deposit Laws), and (ii) any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Security Deposit may be retained and applied by Landlord (a) to offset Rent which is unpaid either before or after termination of this Lease, and (b) against other damages suffered by Landlord before or after termination of this Lease.
5. Condition of Premises
Tenant agrees to (i) accept the Premises on the Commencement Date (and by taking possession of the Premises Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises as then being suitable for Tenants intended use and in good operating order, condition and repair) in its then existing AS IS condition, and (ii) that neither Landlord nor any of Landlords agents, representatives or employees has made any representations as to the suitability, fitness or condition of the Premises for the conduct of Tenants business or for any other purpose, including without limitation, any storage incidental thereto.
6. Additional Rent
Landlord and Tenant intend that this Lease be a triple net lease. The costs and expenses described in this Section 6 and all other sums, charges, costs and expenses specified in this Lease as being payable by Tenant to Landlord, other than Base Rent, are to be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent (collectively, Additional Rent).
6.1 Operating Expenses
6.1.1 Definition of Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Operating Expenses as Additional Rent. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1.1 and Section 6.1.2, the term Operating Expenses means the total amounts paid or payable by Landlord in connection with the ownership, management, maintenance, repair and operation of the Premises.

6.2 Tax Expenses. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Tax Expenses applicable to the Premises. Prior to delinquency, Tenant shall pay any and all taxes and assessments levied upon Tenants Property (defined below in Section 10) located or installed in or about the Premises by, or on behalf of Tenant. To the extent any such taxes or assessments are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, then Tenant shall pay the amount thereof as invoiced by Landlord. Tenant shall also reimburse and pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, one hundred percent (100%) of (i) any increase in real property taxes attributable to any and all Alterations (defined below in Section 10), fixtures, equipment or other improvements of any kind whatsoever placed in, on or about the Premises for the benefit of, at the request of, or by Tenant and (ii) taxes and assessments levied or assessed upon or with respect to the possession, operation, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises.

-4-
improvement bond or bonds, license fees, license tax, business licenses fee, rental tax, transaction tax or levy imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power of tax (including any governmental, school, agricultural, lighting or other improvement district) as against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises or any other tax, fee, or excise, however described, including, but not limited to, any tax imposed in substitution (partially or totally) of any tax previously included within the definition of real property taxes, or any additional tax the nature of which was previously included within the definition of Tax Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Tax Expenses shall not include and Tenant shall have no obligation to pay or reimburse Landlord for (a) any franchise, estate, gift, inheritance, net income, document transfer, or excess profits tax imposed upon Landlord, (b) any penalty or fee imposed solely as a result of Landlords failure to pay Tax Expenses when due, (c) any items included as Operating Expenses, (d) any tax, assessment, or increase therein levied on Landlords rental income, unless such tax or assessment is imposed in lieu of real property taxes, or (e) any tax, assessment, or increase therein in excess of the amount which would be payable if such tax or assessment expense were paid in installments over the longest permitted term.
6.3 Payment of Expenses. Landlord shall estimate the Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses for the calendar year in which the Lease commences. Commencing on the Commencement Date, one-twelfth (1/12th) of this estimated amount shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, as Additional Rent, and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each month throughout the remaining months of such calendar year. Thereafter, Landlord may estimate such expenses for each calendar year during the Term and Tenant shall pay one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated amount as Additional Rent on the first (1st) day of each month throughout the Term. Tenants obligation to pay the Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses for periods of time during the Term and Landlords obligation to reimburse Tenant for any overpayment thereof shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
6.4 Annual Reconciliation. By June 30th of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with an accounting of actual and accrued Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses; provided, failure by Landlord to give such accounting by such date shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to collect any underpayment by Tenant at any time. Tenant shall have the right to request in writing that Landlord make available at Landlords offices during ordinary business hours such supporting information reasonably requested by Tenant. Within thirty (30) days of Landlords delivery of such accounting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any underpayment. Landlord shall credit the amount of any overpayment by Tenant toward the next monthly installment(s) of Rent falling due, or if the Term has expired, refund the amount of overpayment to Tenant as soon as possible thereafter. If the Term expires prior to the annual reconciliation of expenses Landlord shall have the right to reasonably estimate such expenses, and deduct any underpayment from Tenants Security Deposit. Failure by Landlord to accurately estimate such expenses or to otherwise perform such reconciliation shall not constitute a waiver of Landlords right to collect any underpayment at any time during the Term or after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
6.5 Audit. After delivery to Landlord of at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense through any accountant designated by it, shall have the right to examine and/or audit the books and records evidencing such expenses for the previous one (1) calendar year, during Landlords reasonable business hours but not more frequently than once during any calendar year. Tenant may not compensate any such accountant on a contingency fee basis. The results of any such audit (and any negotiations between the parties related thereto) shall be maintained strictly confidential by Tenant and its accounting firm and shall not be disclosed, published or otherwise disseminated to any other party other than to Landlord and its authorized agents except as required by applicable law. Landlord and Tenant each shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in such negotiations and to promptly resolve any discrepancies between Landlord and Tenant in the accounting of such expenses. If through such audit it is determined that there is a discrepancy of more than five percent (5%) in the total of actual Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable accounting costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in performing such audit, including Tenants in-house or outside auditors or accountants. Landlord and Tenant shall pay or reimburse, within thirty (30) days following completion of such audit, the other for any underpayment or overpayment of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses.
7. Utilities and Services
As of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall cause all of the Utility Expenses (hereinafter defined) for the Premises to be placed in Tenants name with the invoices sent directly to Tenant at the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of all Utility Expenses. Tenant shall pay directly to the appropriate utility company or similar entity the cost of all water, sewer use, sewer discharge fees and sewer connection fees, gas, heat, electricity, refuse pickup, janitorial service, telephone, telecommunications and other utilities (collectively, the Utility Expenses) billed or metered separately to the Premises and/or Tenant during the Term. Subject to Section 6.2 above, Tenant shall also pay any and all assessments or charges for utility or similar purposes included within any tax bill for the Lot on which the Building is situated, including without limitation, entitlement fees, allocation unit fees and/or any similar fees or charges. At least quarterly and at such shorter intervals of time upon Landlords request, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord written evidence of Tenants payment of the Utility Expenses if requested by Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that the Premises may become subject to the rationing of utility services or restrictions on utility use as required by a public utility company, governmental agency or other similar entity having jurisdiction thereof. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that its tenancy and occupancy hereunder shall be subject to such rationing restrictions as may be imposed upon Landlord, Tenant, or the Premises, and Tenant shall in no event be excused or relieved from any covenant or obligation to be kept or performed by Tenant by reason of any such rationing or restrictions. Tenant further agrees to timely and faithfully pay, prior to delinquency, any amount, tax, charge, surcharge, assessment or imposition levied, assessed or imposed upon the Premises, or Tenants use and occupancy thereof by a public utility company, governmental agency, taxing authority or similar entity having jurisdiction thereof.
8. Late Charges
The sums or charges set forth in this Section 8 shall be Additional Rent. Tenant acknowledges that late payment (the fifth (5th) day after such payment was due or any time thereafter) of Rent and all other sums due hereunder, will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease. Such costs may include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any note secured by any encumbrance against the Premises, and late charges and penalties due to the late payment of real property taxes on the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent or any other sum payable by Tenant is not received by Landlord by the fifth (5th) day after such payment was due, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord a late charge, as liquidated damages, in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such delinquent amount plus interest thereon at ten percent (10%) per annum for every month or portion thereof that such sums remain unpaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord waives the late charge for the first (1st) instance during the Term in which Tenant fails to timely pay Rent within five (5) days of written notice of such failure by Landlord. If Tenant delivers to Landlord two (2) checks for which there are not sufficient funds, Landlord may require Tenant to replace such check with a cashiers check for the amount of such check and all other charges payable hereunder. The parties agree that this late charge and the other charges referenced above represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment by Tenant, excluding attorneys fees and costs. Acceptance of any late charge or other charges shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenants default with respect to the delinquent amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord for any other default of Tenant under this Lease.
9. Use of Premises
9.1 Compliance with Laws, Recorded Matters, and Rules and Regulations. The Premises shall be used solely for the permitted uses specified in the Basic Lease Information and for no other uses without Landlords prior written consent. Landlords consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as the proposed change in use (i) does not involve the use of Hazardous Materials other than as expressly permitted under the provisions of Section 27 below, (ii) does not require any additional parking spaces,
-5-
and (iii) is compatible and consistent with the other uses then being made in the Premises, as reasonably determined by Landlord. The use of the Premises by Tenant and its employees, representatives, agents, invitees, licensees, subtenants, customers or contractors (collectively, Tenants Representatives) shall be subject to, and at all times in compliance with, (a) any and all applicable laws, rules, codes, ordinances, statutes, orders and regulations as same exist from time to time throughout the Term (collectively, the Laws), including without limitation, the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal law codified at 42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq., including, but not limited to Title III thereof, all regulations and guidelines related thereto and all requirements of Title 24 of the State of California (collectively, the ADA), (b) any and all instruments, licenses, restrictions, easement or similar instruments, conveyances or encumbrances which are at any time required to be made by or given by Landlord relating to any additional improvements in the Premises (collectively, Development Documents), (c) any and all documents, easements, covenants, conditions and restrictions, and similar instruments, together with any and all amendments and supplements thereto made, from time to time, each of which has been or hereafter is recorded in any official or public records with respect to the Premises or any portion thereof (collectively, Recorded Matters), and (c) any and all rules and regulations set forth in Exhibit C hereto, any other reasonable rules and regulations now or hereafter promulgated by Landlord, (collectively, Rules and Regulations). Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to comply with any new rule or regulation unless the same does not unreasonably interfere with Tenants use of the Premises or Tenants parking rights and does not materially increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Tenant under this Lease. Landlord reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant, without the consent of Tenant, such easements, rights and dedications that Landlord deems reasonably necessary, and to cause the recordation of parcel or subdivision maps and/or restrictions, so long as such easements, rights, dedications, maps and restrictions, as applicable, do not materially and adversely interfere with Tenants operations in the Premises or materially increase Tenants rights or decrease Tenants obligations under this Lease. Tenant agrees to sign promptly any commercially reasonable documents reasonably requested by Landlord to effectuate any such easements, rights, dedications, maps or restrictions. Tenant agrees to, and does hereby, assume full and complete responsibility (x) to ensure that the Premises are in compliance with all applicable Laws throughout the Term and (y) for the payment of all costs, fees and expenses associated with any modifications, improvements or other Alterations to the Premises and/or any portion thereof occasioned by the enactment of, or changes to, any Laws arising from Tenants particular use of the Premises or Alterations or other improvements made to the Premises regardless of when such Laws became effective. Tenant shall have no right to initiate, submit an application for, or otherwise request, any land use approvals or entitlements with respect to the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall not be directly responsible for complying with or causing the Premises to comply with any Laws requiring alterations to the Premises unless due to Tenants particular use of the Premises or Alterations made to the Premises by Tenant; provided, however, Tenant remains responsible, as an Operating Expense under Section 6.1.1(iv), for the cost of any improvements or repairs to the Building or Premises required in order to comply with any Laws.
9.2 Prohibition on Use. Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises nor keep or bring anything therein which will increase the existing rate of (unless Tenant pays such increase) or materially affect any policy of insurance upon the Premises or any of its contents, or cause a cancellation of any insurance policy.

other interest in any item of Tenants Property. Landlord shall have no right to require Tenant to remove any Alterations unless it notifies Tenant at the time it consents to such Alteration (or within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of any Permitted Improvements) that it shall require such Alteration to be removed. Any of Tenants Property not so removed by Tenant as required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord in accordance with Law at Tenants expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlords retention and disposition of such property; provided, however, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for all costs incurred in demolishing, removing, storing and disposing of such abandoned property of Tenant.

Subject to the provisions of Section 14.8, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, assign, mortgage, hypothecate, encumber, grant any license or concession, pledge or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest herein, permit any assignment or other transfer of this Lease by operation of law, sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and Tenants Representatives (collectively, Transfers and any entity to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is sometimes referred to as a Transferee). No consent to any Transfer shall constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section 14, and all Transfers may be made only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but which consent shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.
14.2 Request for Consent. If Tenant seeks to make a Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord, in writing (Tenants Notice), and deliver to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed commencement date of the Transfer (Proposed Effective Date) the following: (i) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the Subject Space); (ii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer, including without limitation, the Proposed Effective Date, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of the existing or proposed assignment, sublease or other agreement governing the proposed Transfer; (iii) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, member, partner or owner thereof, and, if available, audited financial statements for the previous three (3) most recent consecutive fiscal years; and (iv) such other information as Landlord may then reasonably require. Within ten (10) business days after Landlords receipt of the Tenants Notice Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, of its determination with respect to such requested proposed Transfer and Landlords election as set forth in Section 14.5. If Landlord does not elect to recapture pursuant to Section 14.5 and Landlord does consent to the requested proposed Transfer, Tenant may thereafter assign its interests in and to this Lease or sublease all or a portion of the Premises to the same party and on the same terms as set forth in the Tenants Notice.
14.3 Criteria for Consent. Tenant agrees that, among other circumstances for which Landlord could reasonably withhold consent to a proposed Transfer, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent where (a) Tenant is in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods or at any time during the Term Tenant has been in Chronic Default, (b) the use to be made of the Premises by the proposed Transferee is prohibited, or differs from the uses permitted, under this Lease, (c) the proposed Transferee or its business is subject to compliance with additional requirements of the ADA beyond those requirements which are applicable to Tenant, (d) the proposed Transferee does not intend to occupy the Premises, (e) Landlord reasonably disapproves of the proposed Transferees business operating ability or history, reputation or creditworthiness or the character of the business to be conducted at the Premises, (f) the proposed Transferee is a governmental agency or unit, (g) the proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to violate another agreement or obligation to which Landlord is a party or otherwise subject, (h) either the proposed Transferee, or any person or entity which directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed Transferee has negotiated with Landlord during the four (4) month period immediately preceding the Tenants Notice, (i) the proposed Transferee will use, store or handle Hazardous Materials (defined below) of a type, nature or quantity not consistent with the Permitted Uses.

Failure or refusal of a Transferee to execute any such consent instrument shall not release or discharge the Transferee from its obligation to do so or from any liability as provided herein. The voluntary, involuntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation by Landlord and Tenant, shall not work a merger, and any such surrender or cancellation shall, at the option of Landlord, either terminate all or any existing subleases or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subleases. Each permitted assignee (but not sublessee) shall assume and be deemed to assume this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for payment of Rent and for the due performance of, and compliance with all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenants part to be performed or complied with, for the Term of this Lease. No Transfer shall affect the continuing liability of Tenant (which, following the Transfer, shall be joint and several with the Transferee) under this Lease whether occurring before or after such Transfer, and Tenant shall not be released from performing any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. A Transferee of Tenant shall become directly liable to Landlord for all obligations of Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of any Rent by Landlord from any other person (whether or not such person is an occupant of the Premises) shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any Transfer. For purposes hereof, except with respect to an Affiliate (defined below), any shares issued to venture capital companies or others prior to an initial public offering, any shares issued in connection with a public offering, and any shares traded over nationally recognized stock exchanges, the exercise of stock options or warrants, or the conversion of preferred stock, if Tenant, directly or indirectly transfers fifty percent (50%) or more of the ownership interest of the entity (whether in a single transaction or in the aggregate through more than one transaction in any 30 day period of time) such transaction(s) (each, a Financing Transaction) shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Section 14; provided in all instances that: (I) any such Financing Transaction was not conducted as a subterfuge to avoid the obligations of this Section 14; (II) Tenant give Landlord prior notice of any such Financing Transaction or notice within five (5) days after the completion of such Financing Transaction (provided that in all events, Landlord shall keep all information relating to such Financing Transaction confidential and shall not disclose such confidential information to any person or entity other than (A) Landlords lenders, attorneys, accountants and financial consultants, (B) as required to make or defend any Claims, or (C) as required by Law); and (III) Tenant shall immediately following such Financing Transaction, have a tangible net worth and net assets, in the aggregate, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (but excluding goodwill as an asset), which is equal to no less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Except with respect to an Affiliate, any and all options, rights of refusal, improvement allowances and other similar rights granted to Tenant in this Lease, if any, shall not be assignable by Tenant unless expressly authorized in writing by Landlord. Any transfer made without Landlords prior written consent, shall, at Landlords option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlords option, constitute a material default by Tenant of this Lease. As Additional Rent, Tenant shall promptly (a) pay to Landlord each time it requests a Transfer, a fee in the amount of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) and (b) reimburse Landlord for actual legal and other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any actual or proposed Transfer.
14.5 Recapture. If the Transfer (i) by itself or taken together with then existing or pending Transfers covers or totals, as the case may be, fifty percent (50%) or more of the rentable square feet of the Premises, or (ii) is for a term which is fifty percent (50%) or more of the period then remaining in the Term of this Lease as of the time of the Proposed Effective Date, then Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by giving written notice to Tenant, to recapture the Subject Space described in the Tenants Notice. If such recapture notice is given, it shall serve to terminate this Lease with respect to the proposed Subject Space, or, if the proposed
-9-
Subject Space covers all the Premises, it shall serve to terminate the entire Term of this Lease, in either case, as of the Proposed Effective Date. If this Lease is terminated with respect to less than the entire Premises, Rent and the Letter of Credit shall be adjusted on the basis of the proportion of rentable square feet retained by Tenant to the rentable square feet originally demised and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect.
14.6 Transfer Premium. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, as a condition thereto, Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly, as Additional Rent, at the same time as the monthly installments of Rent are payable hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Premium. The term Transfer Premium shall mean all rent, additional rent and other consideration actually paid by such Transferee and received by Tenant which either initially or over the term of the Transfer exceeds the Rent or pro rata portion of the Rent, as the case may be, for the Subject Space.
14.7 Waiver. Notwithstanding any Transfer, or any indulgences, waivers or extensions of time granted by Landlord to any Transferee, or failure by Landlord to take action against any Transferee, Tenant agrees that Landlord may, at its option, proceed against Tenant without having taken action against or joined such Transferee, except that Tenant shall have the benefit of any indulgences, waivers and extensions of time granted to any such Transferee.
14.8 Affiliated Companies/Restructuring of Business Organization. A change in control of the Tenant, or the assignment or subletting by Tenant of all or any portion of this Lease or the Premises to (i) a parent or subsidiary of Tenant, or (ii) any person or entity which controls, is controlled by or under the common control with Tenant, or (iii) any entity which purchases all or substantially all of the capital stock or assets of Tenant, or (iv) any entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated, whether or not the Tenant or the other entity is the surviving entity (all such persons or entities described above being sometimes herein referred to as Affiliates) shall not be deemed a Transfer under Section 14 (hence, the aforesaid events shall not be subject to obtaining Landlords prior consent; and Landlord shall not have any right to receive any Transfer Premium in connection therewith; and Landlord shall not have the recapture rights described in Section 14.5 above), provided in all instances that:
14.8.1 any such Affiliate was not formed as a subterfuge to avoid the obligations of this Section 14;
14.8.2 Tenant give Landlord prior notice of any such assignment or sublease to an Affiliate or notice within five (5) days after the effective date of such transfer (provided that in all events, Landlord shall keep all information relating to such transfer confidential and shall not disclose such confidential information to any person or entity other than (a) Landlords financial, legal and space planning consultants, (b) as required to make or defend any Claims, or (c) as required by Law);
14.8.3 the successor of Tenant shall immediately following such Transfer, have a tangible net worth and net assets, in the aggregate, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (but excluding goodwill as an asset), which is equal to no less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000);
14.8.4 any such assignment or sublease shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, and such assignee (but not sublessee), other than in the case of an Affiliate resulting from a merger or consolidation as described in Section 14.8(iv) above, shall assume, in a written document reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and delivered to Landlord upon or prior to the effective date of such assignment or sublease, all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and
14.8.5 Tenant and any guarantor shall remain fully liable for all obligations to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, except in the case of an Affiliate resulting from the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant described in Section 14.8(iii) or from a merger or consolidation as described in Section 14.8(iv) above.
15. Subordination
To the fullest extent permitted by law, this Lease, the rights of Tenant under this Lease and Tenants leasehold interest shall be subject and subordinate at all times to: (i) all ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Building or the Lot, and (ii) the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now or hereafter exist for which the Building, the Lot, ground leases or underlying leases or Landlords interest or estate therein is specified as security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord or any such ground lessor, mortgagee, or any beneficiary shall have the right to require this Lease be superior to any such ground leases or underlying leases or any such liens, mortgage or deed of trust. If any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, provided such successor in interest will not disturb Tenants use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises if Tenant is not in material default beyond applicable notice and cure periods of this Lease. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from any mortgagee or beneficiary a nondisturbance agreement in form reasonably acceptable to the parties whereby such mortgagee or beneficiary agrees that Tenants possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods; provided, the successor in interest to Landlord following foreclosure, sale or deed in lieu thereof shall not be: (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor or with respect to events occurring prior to acquisition of ownership except for ongoing failure to fulfill its maintenance and repair obligations under this Lease; (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior lessor; (c) bound by prepayment of more than one (1) months Rent; or (d) liable to Tenant for any Security Deposit not actually received by such successor in interest to the extent any portion of such Security Deposit has not already been forfeited by, or refunded to, Tenant. Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for all or any portion of the Security Deposit not forfeited by, or refunded to Tenant, until and unless Landlord transfers such Security Deposit to the successor in interest. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute (and acknowledge if required by Landlord, any lender or ground lessor) and deliver, within ten (10) days after a written demand or request by Landlord and in the form reasonably requested by Landlord, ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary, any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground leases or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust. Tenants agreement to subordinate this Lease to any future ground or underlying lease or any future deed of trust or mortgage pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 15 is conditioned upon Landlord delivering to Tenant from the lessor under such future ground or underlying lease or the holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust, a non-disturbance agreement agreeing, among other things, that Tenants right to possession of the Premises pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease shall not be disturbed provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods hereunder. Landlord has informed Tenant that, as of the Commencement Date, there will exist no deed of trust or mortgage encumbering the Premises or Building.
16. Right of Entry
Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all times during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior notice, but in no event (except in the case of an emergency) less than one (1) business day, solely for purposes of inspection, exhibition, posting of notices, investigation, replacements, repair, maintenance and alteration. It is further agreed that Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means Landlord deems necessary to enter the Premises in an emergency. Landlord shall have the right to place (i) for rent or for lease signs on the outside of the Premises, the Building and in the Common Areas, but only during the last nine (9) months of the Term, and (ii) for sale signs on the outside of the Building and in the Common Areas. Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to Tenants business in connection with such entry and to comply with Tenants reasonable security measures. Tenant hereby waives any Claim from damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenants business, or any other loss occasioned thereby as a result of Landlords entry onto the Premises hereunder, except for any Claim for any of the foregoing arising out of the active gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its authorized representatives.
-10-
17. Estoppel Certificate
Tenant shall execute (and acknowledge if required by any lender or ground lessor) and deliver to Landlord, within seven (7) business days after Landlord provides such to Tenant, a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification), the date to which the Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, acknowledging that there are not, to Tenants knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder or specifying such defaults as are claimed, and such other matters as Landlord may reasonably require. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by Landlord and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises. Tenants failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon the Tenant that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (b) there are no uncured defaults in Landlords performance; and (c) not more than one months Rent has been paid in advance.
18. Tenants Default
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall, at Landlords option, constitute a material default by Tenant of the provisions of this Lease:
18.1 The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, as abandonment is statutorily defined in California Civil Code Section 1951.3 or all similar or successor laws;
18.2 The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent required hereunder within five (5) business days after Landlords delivery of written notice to Tenant that said payment is past due; provided, however, that Landlord shall only be required to provide such 5-business day written notice only with respect to the first two instances in any twenty-four (24) month period during the Lease Term that Tenant fails to timely pay all or any portion of Rent and thereafter, Tenant shall be in material default of this Lease if Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent when due. Tenant agrees (i) that any such notice delivered by Landlord shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, serve as the statutorily required notice under applicable law (accordingly, such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1161, et seq. and all similar or successor laws) and (ii) to notice and service of notice as provided for in this Lease;
18.3 Except as otherwise provided in Section 19.4 hereof, the failure by Tenant to observe, perform or comply with any of the conditions, covenants or provisions of this Lease (except failure to make any payment of Rent and/or Additional Rent and any other payment or charge required hereunder) and such failure is not cured within (i) thirty (30) days of the date on which Landlord delivers written notice of such failure to Tenant for all failures other than with respect to (a) Hazardous Materials (defined in Section 27 hereof), (b) Tenant making the repairs, maintenance and replacements required under the provisions of Section 11.1 hereof, or (c) within five (5) business days of the date on which Landlord delivery written notice of such failure to Tenant, the delivery by Tenant of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an SNDA), a counterpart of a fully executed Transfer document and a consent thereto (collectively, the Transfer Documents), an estoppel certificate and insurance certificates, (ii) ten (10) days of the date on which Landlord delivers written notice of such failure to Tenant for all failures in any way related to Hazardous Materials or Tenant failing to timely make the repairs, maintenance or replacements required by Section 11.1, and (iii) the time period, if any, specified in the applicable sections of this Lease with respect to subordination, assignment and sublease, estoppel certificates and insurance. However, provided a Chronic Default has not occurred, Tenant shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder if such failure (other than any failure of Tenant to timely and properly make the repairs, maintenance, or replacements required by Section 11.1, or timely deliver an SNDA, the Transfer Documents, an estoppel certificate or insurance certificates, for which no additional cure period shall be given to Tenant) cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) or ten (10) day period, as applicable, and Tenant promptly commences, and thereafter diligently proceeds with same to completion, all actions necessary to cure such failure as soon as is reasonably possible, but in no event shall the completion of such cure be later than sixty (60) days after the date on which Landlord delivers to Tenant written notice of such failure, unless Landlord, acting reasonably and in good faith, otherwise expressly agrees in writing to a longer period of time based upon the circumstances relating to such failure as well as the nature of the failure and the nature of the actions necessary to cure such failure. Any such written notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1161, et seq. and all similar or successor laws; or
18.4 The making of a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant or the filing of an involuntary petition by any of Tenants creditors seeking the rehabilitation, liquidation, or reorganization of Tenant under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief of debtors and, in the case of an involuntary action, the failure to remove or discharge the same within sixty (60) days of such filing, the appointment of a receiver or other custodian to take possession of substantially all of Tenants assets or this leasehold, Tenants insolvency or inability to pay Tenants debts or failure generally to pay Tenants debts when due, any court entering a decree or order directing the winding up or liquidation of Tenant or of substantially all of Tenants assets, the cessation or suspension of Tenants business operations, or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenants assets or this leasehold.
19. Remedies for Tenants Default
19.1 Landlords Rights. In the event of Tenants material default under this Lease which is not cured by Tenant within the applicable cure period provided for in Section 18, Landlord may terminate Tenants right to possess the Premises by any lawful means. Following delivery of written notice by Landlord, this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in such notice and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In addition, whether or not this Lease is terminated, Landlord shall have the right to immediately re-enter the Premises, and if Landlords right of re-entry is exercised following Tenants abandonment of the Premises, all of Tenants Property left on the Premises shall be deemed abandoned. If Landlord relets the Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant shall immediately be liable to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises or any part thereof, including, without limitation, brokers commissions, expenses of cleaning, redecorating, and further improving the Premises and other similar costs (collectively, the Reletting Costs). All Reletting Costs shall be fully chargeable to Tenant and shall not be prorated or otherwise amortized in relation to any new lease for the Premises or any portion thereof. Reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord. No act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease or Tenants right to possess the Premises, including without limitation, acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver on Landlords initiative to protect Landlords interest under this Lease. At all times Landlord shall have the right to remedy any default of Tenant, to maintain or improve the Premises, to cause a receiver to be appointed to administer the Premises and any new or existing subleases and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Landlords reasonable costs in so doing, with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law from the date of such expenditure.
19.2 Damages Recoverable. If Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Premises before the end of the Term, or if Landlord terminates Tenants right to possession following Tenants breach or default under this Lease, then in either such case, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenants failure to perform its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, the unamortized portion of any brokers or leasing agents commission incurred with respect to the leasing of the Premises to Tenant for the balance of the Term remaining after the date on which Tenant is in default of its obligations
-11-
hereunder, and all Reletting Costs, and the worth at the time of the award (computed in accordance with paragraph (3) of Subdivision (a) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code) of the amount by which the Rent then unpaid hereunder for the balance of the Lease Term exceeds the amount of such loss of Rent for the same period which Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided by Landlord and in such case, Landlord prior to the award, may relet the Premises for the purpose of mitigating damages suffered by Landlord because of Tenants failure to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that even if Tenant abandons the Premises following such breach, this Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect for as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenants right of possession, and until such termination, Landlord shall have the remedy described in Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenants breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations) and may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent from Tenant as it becomes due hereunder. The worth at the time of the award within the meaning of Subparagraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Tenant hereby waives for itself and for all those claiming under Tenant its right to obtain redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179 (or any successor or substitute statute), or under any other present or future law, in the event judgment for possession enters against Tenant or Landlord takes possession of the Premises following any default of Tenant hereunder.
19.3 [Intentionally Deleted]
19.4 Chronic Default. The term Chronic Default as used in this Lease shall mean that Tenant has materially defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease (except failure to pay Rent and any other payment or charge required hereunder) more than three (3) times during any twenty-four (24) month period during the Term, regardless of whether or not Tenant cures any such material default. A Chronic Default is not curable by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of a Chronic Default and at all times thereafter during the balance of the Term, Landlord shall no longer be obligated to provide Tenant written notice of default as set forth in Section 18.3 hereof and Tenant shall no longer be entitled to those cure periods set forth in Section 18.3. Following a Chronic Default, Landlord, in its sole discretion, may elect to provide written notice of default to Tenant or grant Tenant a period during which it may cure any such default, however, no such delivery of written notice or grant of a cure period by Landlord shall in any way obligate Landlord to provide Tenant any subsequent written notices of default or cure periods.
19.5 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The foregoing rights and remedies of Landlord are not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise, and to any remedies Landlord may have under bankruptcy laws or laws affecting creditors rights generally.
20. Holding Over
If Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Term, with the express consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable for the first two (2) months of such holdover, at a monthly rate equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Term under this Lease and thereafter, at a monthly rate equal to the greater of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of (i) the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Term under this Lease and (ii) the fair market rental of the Premises as of the commencement date of such holdover period. Such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term and provision contained herein. Landlord hereby expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in the condition required herein upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 20 shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all Claims resulting from such failure, including but not limited to, any Claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.
21. Landlords Default
Landlord shall not be considered in default of this Lease unless Landlord fails within a reasonable time to perform an obligation required to be performed by Landlord hereunder. For purposes hereof, a reasonable time shall in no event be more than thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of written notice specifying the nature of the obligation Landlord has not performed; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlords obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days, after receipt of written notice, is reasonably necessary for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default of this Lease if performance of such obligation is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.
22. Parking
Tenant shall have exclusive use of the parking spaces specified in the Basic Lease Information. Landlord shall exercise reasonable efforts to ensure that such spaces are available to Tenant for its use, but Landlord shall not be required to enforce Tenants right to use the same. Tenant and Tenants Representatives shall not park or permit any parking of vehicles overnight.
23. Transfer of Landlords Interest
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Premises, Building and this Lease. Tenant expressly agrees that in the event of any such transfer, Landlord shall automatically be entirely released from all liability under this Lease thereafter accruing and Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee for the performance of Landlords obligations hereunder accruing after the date of such transfer. Any transferee shall be deemed to have assumed all of Landlords obligations hereunder arising or accruing after the date of such transfer. A ground lease or similar long term lease by Landlord of the entire Building or Lot, of which the Premises are a part, shall be deemed a sale within the meaning of this Section 23. Tenant agrees to attorn to such new owner provided such new owner does not disturb Tenants use, occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises so long as Tenant is not in material default of this Lease beyond any applicable cure period.
24. Waiver
No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of either party on any default by the other party shall impair such a right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. The subsequent acceptance of Rent by Landlord after default by Tenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such default, other than a waiver of timely payment for the particular Rent payment involved, and shall not prevent Landlord from maintaining an unlawful detainer or other action based on such default. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly Rent and other sums due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest Rent or other sums due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction; and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlords right to recover the balance of such Rent or other sum or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. No failure, partial exercise or delay on the part of the Landlord or Tenant in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.
-12-
25. Casualty Damage
25.1 Casualty. If the Premises or any part [excluding any of Tenants Property and any Alterations installed by or for the benefit of Tenant (collectively, Tenants FF&E)] shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (each, an Event of Casualty), Tenant shall give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by Landlord of such notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing (each, a Casualty Notice), of (i) the dollar amount of any shortfall between the insurance proceeds available to Landlord and the cost of repairing and restoring the Premises due to an Event of Casualty (the Shortfall Amount) and (ii) the following time period within which the necessary repairs can reasonably be made, as estimated by Landlord: (a) within one hundred eighty (180) days, or (b) in more than one hundred eighty (180) days, from the date of such notice. For purposes of Section 25.3 below, the Shortfall Amount shall include any deficiency of funds available to Landlord due to the Lenders (defined below) application of insurance proceeds to any indebtedness on the Property.
25.1.1 Minor Insured Damage. If the Premises (other than Tenants FF&E) are damaged only to such extent that repairs, rebuilding and/or restoration can be reasonably completed within one hundred eighty (180) days, this Lease shall not terminate and, provided that insurance proceeds are available and paid to Landlord to fully repair the damage and/or Tenant otherwise voluntarily contributes any shortfall thereof, Landlord shall repair the Premises to substantially the same condition that existed prior to the occurrence of such casualty, except Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any of Tenants FF&E. The Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately from the date and to the extent Tenant vacates the affected portions of the Premises until any and all repairs required herein to be made by Landlord are substantially completed, but such abatement shall (i) only be to the extent of the portion of the Premises which is actually rendered unusable and unfit for occupancy, (ii) only during the time Tenant is not actually using same, and (iii) only be to the extent that Landlord receives rental abatement insurance proceeds therefor.
25.1.2 Major Insured Damage. If the Premises (other than Tenants FF&E) are damaged to such extent that repairs, rebuilding and/or restoration cannot be reasonably completed, as reasonably determined by Landlord, within one hundred eighty (180) days, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Casualty Notice. Subject to the provisions of Section 25.6 below, if either party notifies the other of its intention to so terminate this Lease, then this Lease shall terminate and the Rent shall be abated from the date of the occurrence of such damage, provided Tenant diligently proceeds to and expeditiously vacates the Premises (but, in all events Tenant must vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord by no later than ten (10) business days thereafter or there shall not be any abatement of Rent until Tenant so vacates the Premises). If neither party elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repairs to the Premises, provided insurance proceeds are available and paid to Landlord to fully repair the damage or Tenant voluntarily contributes any shortfall thereof (except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any of Tenants FF&E). During the time when Landlord is prosecuting such repairs to substantial completion, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately from the date and to the extent Tenant actually vacates the affected portions of the Premises until any and all repairs required herein to be made by Landlord are substantially completed, but such abatement shall (i) only be to the extent of the portion of the Premises which is actually rendered unusable and unfit for occupancy, (ii) only during the time Tenant is not actually using same, and (iii) only be to the extent Landlord receives rental abatement insurance proceeds therefor.
25.1.3 Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease except for the provisions of Section 25.3 below, if the Premises are substantially damaged during the last six (6) months of then applicable term of this Lease, either Landlord or Tenant may, at their option, cancel and terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party of its election to do so within forty-five (45) days after receipt by Landlord of notice from Tenant of the occurrence of such casualty. If either party so elects to terminate this Lease, all rights of Tenant hereunder shall cease and terminate ten (10) days after Tenants receipt or delivery of such notice, as applicable, and Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and surrender possession thereof to Landlord.
25.2 Deductible and Uninsured Casualty. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the deductible amounts under the insurance policies obtained by Landlord and Tenant under this Lease if the proceeds are used to repair the Premises. If any portion of the Premises is damaged and is not fully covered by the aggregate of insurance proceeds received by Landlord and any applicable deductible, and Tenant does not voluntarily contribute any shortfall thereof, then Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to the other party within thirty (30) days after the date of notice to Tenant of such event, whereupon all rights of Tenant shall cease and terminate ten (10) days after Tenants receipt of such notice, and Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and surrender possession thereof to Landlord.
25.3 Lenders Rights. If the holder of any indebtedness secured by the Property (the Lender) requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to such indebtedness, then (subject to the provisions of Section 25.6 below) Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the Casualty Notice to Tenant whereupon all rights of Tenant shall cease and terminate ten (10) days after Tenants receipt of such notice, and Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and surrender possession thereof to Landlord.
25.4 Tenants Waiver. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, injury to the business of Tenant, loss of use of any part of the Premises by Tenant or loss of Tenants Property, resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof. With respect to any damage which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair, Tenant waives all rights to terminate this Lease or offset any amounts against Rent pursuant to rights accorded Tenant by any law currently existing or hereafter enacted, including without limitation, all rights pursuant to California Civil Code Sections 1932(2.), 1933(4.), 1941 and 1942 and any similar or successor laws.
25.5 Tenants Fault. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Premises (other than Tenants FF&E) or any portion thereof is damaged by fire or other casualty due to the acts or omissions of Tenant or any of Tenants Representatives, Tenant will not have any right to terminate this Lease due to the occurrence of such casualty.
25.6 Tenants Payment of the Shortfall Amount. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 25 to the contrary, Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to Sections 25.1.2 or 25.3 if within ten (10) days following receipt of the Casualty Notice, Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice of Tenants election to pay to Landlord the Shortfall Amount. If Tenant elects to pay the Shortfall Amount, (i) the Shortfall Amount shall be deemed Additional Rent, and Tenant shall deliver the Shortfall Amount to Landlord within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, (ii) upon receipt of the Shortfall Amount, Landlord shall promptly commence and diligently pursue to completion the repairs to the Premises, and (iii) Rent shall abate in accordance with the provisions of the last sentence of Section 25.1.2 above. Tenants failure to give such notice within said 10-day period shall be deemed an election by Tenant to not pay the Shortfall Amount. If Tenant elects (or is deemed to have elected) to not pay the Shortfall Amount, all rights of Tenant under this Section 25.6 to maintain the Lease shall cease and the parties shall proceed pursuant to the provisions of Section 25.1.2 or 25.3, as applicable.
26. Condemnation
If twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Premises is condemned by eminent domain, inversely condemned or sold in lieu of condemnation for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (Condemned), then Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease as of the date when physical possession of the Premises is taken and title vests in such condemning authority, and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination. Tenant shall not because of such condemnation assert any claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for any compensation because of such condemnation, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate of interest or other interest of Tenant; provided, however, Tenant shall be entitled to make a
-13-
separate claim for loss of, or damage to, Tenants Property, for damages for cessation or interruption of Tenants business, for the unamortized value of any alterations or improvements made to the Premises at Tenants expense and for the bonus value of this Lease (i.e., the difference between rent payable hereunder and the then fair market value of the Premises) for the balance of the Term, provided any such award(s) is separate from Landlords award and does not diminish or otherwise impair the award otherwise payable to Landlord. In addition to the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to seek compensation for the relocation costs recoverable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section 7262. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, if necessary, promptly proceed to restore the Premises, to substantially the same condition prior to such partial condemnation, allowing for the reasonable effects of such partial condemnation, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant, as determined by Landlord, for the Rent corresponding to the time during which, and to the part of the Premises of which, Tenant is deprived on account of such partial condemnation and restoration.
27. Environmental Matters/Hazardous Materials
27.1 Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate. Simultaneously herewith, Tenant has delivered to Landlord Tenants executed initial Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate (the Initial HazMat Certificate), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E. Tenant covenants, represents and warrants to Landlord that the information in the Initial HazMat Certificate is true and correct and accurately describes the use(s) of Hazardous Materials which will be made and/or used on the Premises by Tenant. Tenant shall, commencing with the date which is one year from the Commencement Date and continuing every year thereafter, deliver to Landlord, an executed Hazardous Materials Disclosure Certificate (the HazMat Certificate), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, describing Tenants then present use of Hazardous Materials on the Premises, and any other reasonably necessary documents as requested by Landlord.
27.2 Definition of Hazardous Materials. Hazardous Materials means (a) any hazardous or toxic wastes, materials or substances, and other pollutants or contaminants, which are or become regulated by any Environmental Laws; (b) petroleum, petroleum by products, gasoline, diesel fuel, crude oil or any fraction thereof; (c) asbestos and asbestos containing material, in any form, whether friable or non-friable; (d) polychlorinated biphenyls; (e) radioactive materials; (f) lead and lead-containing materials; (g) any other material, waste or substance displaying toxic, reactive, ignitable or corrosive characteristics, as all such terms are used in their broadest sense, and are defined or become defined by any Environmental Law (defined below); (h) any materials which cause or threatens to cause a nuisance upon or waste to any portion of the Premises or any surrounding property; or (i) any materials which pose or threaten to pose a hazard to the health and safety of persons on the Premises or any surrounding property. For purposes of this Lease, Hazardous Materials shall not include nominal amounts of ordinary household cleaners, office supplies and janitorial supplies which are not actionable under any Environmental Laws.
27.3 Prohibition; Environmental Laws. Except to the extent expressly permitted to be used, stored and handled by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, and except for the type and quantities of Hazardous Materials specified in the Initial HazMat Certificate, Tenant shall not be entitled to use, store or handle any Hazardous Materials on, in, or about any portion of the Premises without, in each instance, obtaining Landlords prior written consent thereto. If Landlord, in its sole discretion, consents to any such handling, usage or storage, then Tenant shall be permitted to handle, use and/or store only those Hazardous Materials and in such quantities (A) that are necessary for Tenants business, (B) to the extent disclosed in the most recent HazMat Certificate, and (C) expressly approved by Landlord in writing. In all events such handling, usage and storage must at all times be in full compliance with any and all applicable local, state and federal environmental, health and/or safety-related laws, statutes, orders, standards, courts decisions, ordinances, rules and regulations (as interpreted by judicial and administrative decisions), decrees, directives, guidelines, permits or permit conditions, currently existing and as amended, enacted, issued or adopted in the future (collectively, the Environmental Laws). To the extent that Tenant is required to obtain Landlords consent, Tenant agrees that any changes to the type and/or quantities of Hazardous Materials specified in the most recent HazMat Certificate may be implemented only with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlords sole discretion. Tenant shall not be entitled nor permitted to install any tanks under, on or about the Premises for the storage of Hazardous Materials without the express written consent of Landlord, which may be given or withheld in Landlords sole discretion. Landlord shall have the right at all times during the Term to (i) inspect the Premises, (ii) conduct tests and investigations to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with this Section 27 or to determine if Hazardous Materials are present in, on or about the Premises, and (iii) request lists of all Hazardous Materials used, stored or otherwise located on, under or about any portion of the Premises and/or the Common Areas. The cost of all such inspections, tests and investigations (collectively, Inspections) shall be borne by Tenant, if Tenant or any of Tenants Representatives are directly or indirectly responsible for any contamination revealed by such Inspections. The aforementioned rights granted herein to Landlord and its representatives shall not create (a) a duty on Landlords part to perform Inspections, monitor or otherwise observe the Premises or Tenants and Tenants Representatives activities with respect to Hazardous Materials, including without limitation, Tenants operation, use and any remediation related thereto, or (b) liability on the part of Landlord and its representatives for Tenants handling, use, storage, disposal or remediation of Hazardous Materials, it being understood that Tenant shall be solely responsible for all liability in connection therewith.
27.4 Tenants Environmental Obligations. If required by applicable Laws, Tenant shall post in and about the Premises Proposition 65 notices with respect to the Existing Hazardous Materials (defined below) and prepare and file any required Hazardous Materials Management Plan (the HMMP). Tenant shall also (i) inform all of its employees, workers and all persons working in and about the Premises (in particular, all construction workers) of the presence of Existing Hazardous Materials, and (ii) comply with, and cause all Tenant Representatives to comply with, the provisions of any O&M Manual prepared by or on behalf of Landlord with respect to the Premises. However, the O&M Manual shall not unduly restrict Tenants use of the Premises. Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord copies of the HMMP and all permits and plans and similar documents issued to Tenant or prepared by Tenant with respect to any Hazardous Materials used, stored or handled by Tenant in, on and about the Premises. Tenant shall give to Landlord immediate verbal and follow up written notice of any spills, releases, discharges, disposals, emissions, migrations, removals or transportation of Hazardous Materials on, under or about any portion of the Premises or in any Common Areas (collectively, a Release); provided, that Tenant has knowledge of such event(s). Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, covenants and warrants to promptly investigate, clean up, remove, restore and otherwise remediate (including, without limitation, preparation of any feasibility studies or reports and the performance of any and all closures) any Release of Hazardous Materials arising from or related to the acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenants Representatives such that the affected portions of the Premises and any adjacent property are returned to the condition existing prior to the appearance of such Hazardous Materials. Any such investigation, clean up, removal, restoration and other remediation shall only be performed after Tenant has obtained Landlords prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such actions would not potentially have a material adverse long-term or short-term effect on any portion of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to respond immediately to an emergency without first obtaining Landlords prior written consent. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall conduct and perform, or cause to be conducted and performed, all closures related to its use of Hazardous Materials as required by any Environmental Laws or any agencies or other governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereof. If Tenant fails to so promptly investigate, clean up, remove, restore, provide closure or otherwise so remediate a Release of Hazardous Materials by Tenant or Tenants Representatives, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, take any and all steps necessary to rectify the same and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord, upon written demand, for all costs and expenses to Landlord of performing investigation, clean up, removal, restoration, closure and remediation work. All such work undertaken by Tenant, as required herein, shall be performed in such a manner so as to enable Landlord to make full economic use of the Premises after the satisfactory completion of such work.
27.5 Environmental Indemnity. Tenant shall, protect, indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to Landlord) and hold Landlord and the other Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Claims (including, without limitation, diminution in

value of any portion of the Premises, damages for the loss of or restriction on the use of rentable or usable space, and from any adverse impact of Landlords marketing of any space within the Premises) arising at any time during or after the Term in connection with or related to, directly or indirectly, the use, presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, in or about any portion of the Premises by Tenant or any of Tenants Representatives in violation of Laws or this Lease. Neither the written consent of Landlord to the presence, use or storage of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about any portion of the Premises nor the strict compliance by Tenant with all Environmental Laws shall excuse Tenant from its obligations of indemnification pursuant hereto. Tenant shall not be relieved of its indemnification obligations under the provisions of this Section 27.5 due to Landlords status as either an owner or operator under any Environmental Laws.
27.6 Survival. Tenants obligations and liabilities under this Section 27 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. If Landlord determines that Tenant is in violation of any of the provisions of this Lease with respect to Hazardous Materials, then Landlord may require Tenant to hold over possession of the Premises until Tenant can surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition in which the Premises existed prior to the appearance of such Hazardous Materials (except for reasonable wear and tear), including without limitation, performing closures as required by any Environmental Laws. For purposes hereof, the term reasonable wear and tear shall not include any deterioration in the condition or diminution of the value of any portion of the Premises in any manner whatsoever related to directly, or indirectly, Hazardous Materials. Any such holdover by Tenant will be with Landlords consent and will not be terminable by Tenant in any event or circumstance.

Landlord will deliver to Tenant a copy of the Environmental Reports and any Asbestos Survey it obtains with respect to the Premises as soon as practicable after the Lease Date.

Tenant agrees that each lender to whom this Lease has been assigned by Landlord is an express third party beneficiary hereof. Except for the Advance Rent, Tenant shall not make any prepayment of Rent more than one (1) month in advance without the prior written consent of each such lender.

Tenant further acknowledges that, as required by the Loan Documents, (X) Landlord has assigned to PCCF its rights and interests in and to this Lease and the Rent, as security for repayment of the Loan and (Y) PCCF shall be the named Beneficiary of the Letter of Credit (defined below). Three (3) business days prior to the Anticipated Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (for the benefit of and delivery to PCCF), as collateral for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord and/or PCCF (solely as assignee of Landlords interest in this Lease) may suffer as a result of any default by Tenant of this Lease, an irrevocable and unconditional negotiable standby letter of credit (the Letter of Credit), in the form and containing the terms required herein, payable in Santa Clara County, California, running in favor of PCCF issued by a solvent nationally recognized bank or financial institution, under the supervision of the Superintendent of Banks of the State of California, or a National Banking Association, in the amount of Six Hundred Twelve Thousand Dollars ($612,000) (the LC Amount). The Letter of Credit shall be (i) at sight and irrevocable and unconditional, (ii) subject to the terms of this Section 35, maintained in effect, whether through replacement, renewal or extension, for the period from the Commencement Date of the Lease and continuing until the date which is thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date of the Lease (the Letter of Credit Expiration Date) and Tenant shall deliver a new Letter of Credit or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord, for the benefit of PCCF, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit then held by PCCF, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord or PCCF, (iii) subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993-Rev) International Chamber of Commerce Publication #500, (iv) fully assignable by PCCF and permit partial draws. In addition to the foregoing, the form and terms of the Letter of Credit and the bank issuing the same (the Bank) shall be acceptable to PCCF, in PCCFs reasonable discretion, and shall provide, among other things, in effect that: (A) PCCF, or its then authorized agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit upon the presentation to the Bank of PCCFs (or PCCFs authorized agents) statement that (1) such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease, (2) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or (3) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Federal Bankruptcy code, it being understood that if PCCF or its authorized agent be a limited liability company, corporation, partnership or other entity, then such statement shall be signed by a managing member (if a limited liability company) an officer (if a corporation), a general partner (if a partnership), or any authorized party (if another entity); (B) the Letter of Credit will be honored by the Bank without inquiry as to the accuracy thereof and regardless of whether the Tenant disputes the content of such statement; and (C) in the event of a transfer of Landlords interest in the Building and/or Landlord has unconditionally paid the Loan in full (as applicable), PCCF shall transfer the Letter of Credit (or cause a substitute letter of credit to be delivered, as applicable), to the transferee as directed by Landlord and thereupon Landlord and PCCF shall, without any further
-17-
agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said Letter of Credit to such transferee or successor-in-interest to Landlord, as the case may be.
35.2 Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of PCCF to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any default on the part of Tenant hereunder, and (ii) PCCF provided the Loan to Landlord in material reliance upon the ability of PCCF to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any default on the part of Tenant hereunder. Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that if PCCF cannot draw upon the Letter of Credit within the times and in the manner as anticipated by PCCF herein, Landlord and PCCF shall suffer irreparable damage, harm and injury. From time to time during the Term of this Lease it is anticipated by the parties that the Letter of Credit will need to be amended, modified and, possibly reissued. Landlord and Tenant hereby covenant and agree to cooperate with one another to promptly effectuate any such commercially reasonable amendments, modifications and new issuances, including without limitation, executing and submitting to the Bank any and all documents or instruments as may be reasonably required to effectuate same. Each and every time during the Term of this Lease there is a change in the identity or address of the parties, including without limitation, any change in the identity of Landlord or PCCF due to (A) the sale, transfer or other conveyance by Landlord of its rights and interests in, to and under this Lease to any other party, person or entity, (B) the payoff or refinance of the Loan by Landlord, or (C) the assignment or transfer by PCCF of its rights and interests in, to and under the Loan, as applicable, the Letter of Credit shall immediately be amended or reissued to reflect such changes and the parties hereby agree to execute and submit to the Bank such further applications, documents and instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate same. It is the intention of the parties that each and every successor and assign of each of Landlord, PCCF and Tenant be bound by and subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 35. PCCF may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenants consent thereto, assign all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to another party, person or entity, regardless of whether or not such assignment is separate from or as a part of the assignment by Landlord or PCCF, as applicable, of its rights and interests in and to this Lease.
35.3 If, as a result of any such application or use of all or any part of the Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be less than the LC Amount, Tenant shall, within five (5) days thereafter, provide Landlord (for PCCFs benefit) with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency (or a replacement letter of credit in the total amount of the LC Amount) and any such additional (or replacement) letter of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Section 35, and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 18 hereof, the same shall constitute an incurable default by Tenant. Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord or PCCF nor any of their respective successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Letter of Credit expires earlier than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, Landlord (for PCCFs benefit) will accept a renewal letter of credit or substitute letter of credit (such renewal or substitute letter of credit to be in effect not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit), which shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided through the Letter of Credit Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring Letter of Credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord and PCCF, in their sole discretion. However, if the Letter of Credit is not timely renewed or a substitute letter of credit is not timely received, or if Tenant fails to maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Section 35, PCCF shall have the right to present the Letter of Credit to the Bank in accordance with the terms of this Section 35, and the proceeds of the Letter of Credit may be applied by PCCF against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and/or to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord and/or PCCF (solely as assignee of Landlords interest in this Lease) has suffered or that Landlord and/or PCCF (solely as assignee of Landlords interest in this Lease) reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any default by Tenant under this Lease. Any unused proceeds need not be segregated from Landlords or PCCFs other assets. Landlord agrees to cause PCCF to pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit received by Landlord or PCCF and not applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that was not paid when due or used to pay for any losses and/or damages suffered by Landlord or PCCF ) solely as assignee of Landlords interest in this Lease) (or reasonably estimated by Landlord or PCCF, solely as assignee of Landlords interest in this Lease, that it will suffer) as a result of any default by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that if prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenants creditors, under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, then neither PCCF nor Landlord shall be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the unused Letter of Credit proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed. In the event that PCCF draws upon the Letter of Credit solely due to Tenants failure to renew the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days before its expiration, such failure to renew shall not constitute a default hereunder so long as (i) no other event of default occurs hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods and (ii) Tenant renews the Letter of Credit before the actual expiration date of the Letter of Credit. Provided Tenant is not in default of its obligations under this Lease, upon receipt of a replacement Letter of Credit that satisfies the requirements hereunder, Landlord or PCCF, as applicable, shall return the cash proceeds of the original Letter of Credit drawn by PCCF minus any amounts necessary to compensate Landlord or PCCF (solely as assignee of Landlords interest in this Lease) for any past due Rent, damages, costs, expenses or attorneys fees incurred hereunder related to Tenants failure to timely replenish the Letter of Credit.
35.4 If there shall occur a default of this Lease as set forth in Section 18 of this Lease, PCCF may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice draw upon the Letter of Credit, in part or in whole, to the extent required to cure any default of Tenant and/or to compensate Landlord or PCCF (as applicable and with respect to PCCF, solely as assignee of Landlords interest in this Lease) for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which may be sustained by Landlord or PCCF to the extent resulting from Tenants default. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to PCCF of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, either prior to or following a draw by PCCF of any portion of the Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to PCCFs right to draw from the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Subject to the provisions of this Section 35, from the Commencement Date through the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, Tenant agrees and acknowledges that it has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof and that, in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenants bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlords claim and/or rights to the Letter of Credit and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.
35.5 Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any renewal thereof or substitute therefor be (x) deemed to be or treated as a security deposit within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7 (as supplemented, amended, replaced and substituted from time to time), (y) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7 (as supplemented, amended, replaced and substituted from time to time), or (z) intended to serve as a security deposit within the meaning of such Section 1950.7 (as supplemented, amended, replaced and substituted from time to time). The parties hereto (a) recite that the Letter of Credit is not intended to serve as a security deposit and such Section 1950.7 (as supplemented, amended, replaced and substituted from time to time), and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (Security Deposit Laws) shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto and (b) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws.
35.6 So long as Tenant has not at any time been, or is currently not in default of this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods: (i) if at any time following the second (2nd) year of the Term of this Lease, Tenant has three (3) consecutive fiscal quarters of positive net cash flow (as reported in Tenants audited annual financial statements as prepared by a certified public accountant), then the face amount of the Letter of Credit shall decline to Three Hundred Six Thousand Dollars ($306,000.00) (the
-18-
Initial LC Reduction), and (ii) following the Initial LC Reduction, if Tenant has two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters of positive net cash flow in excess of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) per quarter (as reported in Tenants audited annual financial statements as prepared by a certified public accountant), then the face amount of the Letter of Credit shall decline to One Hundred Fifty-three Thousand Dollars ($153,000.00). Such reductions of the face amount of the Letter of Credit shall be effectuated by amending the Letter of Credit and the parties hereby agree to execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate same. In addition to the foregoing, each and every time during the Term of this Lease there is a change in the identity or address of the parties, including without limitation, any change in the identity of (a) Landlord due to the sale, transfer or other conveyance by Landlord of its rights and interests in, to and under this Lease to any other party, person or entity, or (b) Landlords lender due to the payoff or refinance of the Loan, or (c) PCCF due to the sale or other conveyance of the Loan by PCCF, the Letter of Credit shall immediately be amended to reflect such changes and the parties hereby agree to execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate same.

36.1 Grant of Right of First Offer. During the first thirty-six (36) months of the Term only, Tenant shall have a one-time right of first offer (the Right of First Offer) to purchase the Property.

36.2 Notice of Offer. Provided the above conditions are satisfied, and Landlord desires to sell the Property, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of such desire to sell the Property (Landlords Availability Notice) and Tenant shall have the right to exercise Tenants Right of First Offer. Tenant shall have a period of ten (10) business days following receipt of Landlords Availability Notice to submit written notice to Landlord of Tenants election to purchase the Property (the ROFO Notice).

Time is of the essence herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in the event that the Landlord shall receive an offer to purchase all or substantially all of its portfolio, which offer is conditioned on the Premises being included in the assets to be purchased, the Right of First Offer herein contained shall not apply to such offer and Tenant waives its rights hereunder in respect of such sale.
36.3 Purchase Agreement. In the event Tenant exercises this Right of First Offer as herein provided, the parties shall have ten (10) business days after Landlord receives the ROFO Notice from Tenant in which to execute a purchase agreement setting forth the agreed-upon terms; provided, the parties hereby agree that the purchase price for the Property shall be Nine Million Nine Hundred Twenty-six Thousand Dollars ($9,926,000) and the Property shall be conveyed to Tenant on an AS-IS basis on Landlords standard form purchase agreement. In the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to enter into a purchase and sale agreement within the above-referenced ten (10) business day period, it shall be deemed that (i) Tenant has elected not to purchase the Property; (ii) Landlord may thereafter enter into negotiations with any person or entity and/or negotiate and consummate an agreement to sell the Property with any person or entity on any terms and conditions Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem desirable; and (iii) all rights under this Right of First Offer and the Purchase Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
36.4 Assignment. This Right of First Offer is personal to Tenant and may not be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, separate from or as a part of the Lease. Any such attempted assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void and render the Right of First Offer invalid.
37. Option to Purchase
37.1 Grant of Purchase Option. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the right and option (the Purchase Option) to purchase the Property subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions contained in this Section 37. The purchase price for the Property shall be Nine Million Nine Hundred Twenty-six Thousand Dollars ($9,926,000) and the Property shall be conveyed to Tenant on an AS-IS basis on Landlords standard form purchase agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) if Landlord delivers a Landlords Availability Notice pursuant to Section 36 above, the Purchase Option shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect as of the date of delivery of such Landlords Availability Notice, and (ii) if Tenant is in default of its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period at any time during the term of this Lease, then the Purchase Option granted herein shall immediately expire, lapse and terminate for all purposes as of the date of the occurrence of such uncured default and thereafter shall be of no further force or effect.
37.2 Term of Purchase Option. The term of the Purchase Option (the Purchase Option Term) shall be for a period of twelve (12) months, commencing on the first (1st) day of the twenty-fifth (25th) month of the Term of this Lease and ending on the last day of the thirty-sixth (36th) month of the Term of this Lease. Unless timely and properly exercised as provided herein, the Purchase Option shall expire, lapse and terminate for all purposes at the end of the Purchase Option Term and thereafter shall be of no further force or effect.
37.3 Exercise of Purchase Option. Tenant shall exercise the Purchase Option, if at all, by (i) delivering written notice to Landlord during the Purchase Option Term (the Purchase Notice). In the event Tenant properly and timely exercises the Purchase Option as herein provided, the parties shall have ten (10) business days after Landlord receives the Purchase Notice from Tenant in which to execute a purchase agreement setting forth the agreed-upon terms. If the parties fail to execute and deliver such purchase agreement within said ten (10) business day period, the Purchase Option shall immediately expire and be of no further force or effect.
37.4 Assignment. The Purchase Option is personal to Tenant and may not be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any party or entity, separate from or as part of the Lease. Any such attempted assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void and render the Purchase Option invalid.
