Notwithstanding the foregoing, if within fifteen (15) days after the giving of the Cancellation Notice, Landlord’s consent is received and possession of the Subleased Premises delivered to Subtenant, then the Cancellation Notice shall be deemed null and void and this Sublease shall continue in full force and effect.  The Term shall of this Sublease shall end on April 30, 2011 (the “Expiration Date”), as it may be extended hereunder, or shall end on such earlier date upon which such term may expire or be terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof or pursuant to law.  The Term and any extension thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Sublease is referred to as the “Term”.

(ii)           In all provisions of the Overlease requiring the tenant to submit, exhibit to, supply or provide Landlord with evidence, certificates, or any other matter or thing, Subtenant shall be required to submit, exhibit to, supply or provide, as the case may be, the same simultaneously to both Landlord and Sublandlord.  In any such instance, Sublandlord shall reasonably determine if such evidence, certificate or other matter or thing shall be satisfactory.

(e)           To the extent any utilities to the Subleased Premises are not separately sub-metered, if Subtenant or any other occupant of the Premises makes use of any utilities during hours other than during Building business hours, or if Subtenant or any other occupant of the Premises adds any machinery, appliances or equipment which materially increases or decreases the aggregate electrical load in the Subleased Premises or other portions of the Premises, as the case may be, the applicable Utility Charges shall be adjusted proportionately to reflect any change in such use.

(f)            Sublandlord shall provide copies of all bills (or relevant portions thereof) received from Landlord affecting or relating to Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant promptly upon receipt.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Overlease provides that a payment of additional rent is payable by the Sublandlord to Landlord within a shorter period of time, Subtenant shall pay the additional rent provided for in this Section 4 relating to such payment of additional rent not later than the business day preceding the date that Sublandlord




shall be so required to pay, and (ii) if the Overlease provides that a payment of additional rent thereunder is payable by Sublandlord to Landlord, on demand, then Subtenant shall pay any additional rent provided for in this Section 4 relating to such payment of additional rent under the

Overlease, upon the demand of Sublandlord.  Any failure or delay by Sublandlord in billing any sum set forth in this Section 4 shall not constitute a waiver of Subtenant’s obligation to pay the same in accordance with the terms of this Sublease.

(g)  Upon its receipt thereof, Sublandlord shall furnish to Subtenant a copy of each notice or statement from Landlord affecting the Subleased Premises with respect to Subtenant’s obligations hereunder, together with Sublandlord’s calculation (if applicable) of the amount owed by Subtenant hereunder and the basis for such calculation.  If Sublandlord disputes the correctness of any such notice or statement and if such dispute is resolved in Sublandlord’s favor, or if Sublandlord shall receive any refund of rent without a dispute, Sublandlord shall promptly pay to Subtenant Subtenant’s Pro Rata Share of any refund (after deducting from the amount of any such refund an equitable portion of all expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Sublandlord in resolving such dispute) received by Sublandlord in respect (but only to the extent) of any related payments of rent made by Subtenant less any amounts theretofore received by Subtenant directly from Landlord, and relating to such refund; provided, however, that, if Sublandlord is required under the terms of the Overlease to pay such amounts pending the determination of any such dispute (by agreement or otherwise), Subtenant shall pay the full amount of the Fixed Rent, Expense Adjustment Amounts, Utility Charges, the Parking Fee, the Storage Space Charges and Subtenant Surcharges in accordance with this Sublease and the Landlord’s statement or notice.

5.             SECURITY DEPOSIT.

(a)           To secure the full and faithful performance by Subtenant of all the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants and obligations (including, without limitation, the payment of rent) on Subtenant’s part to be performed hereunder, on or before the Commencement Date hereof, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord a security deposit (“Security Deposit”) in the amount of Two Million Nine Hundred Seven Thousand Three Hundred Twenty Dollars ($2,907,320.00) in either (i) cash or (ii) an unconditional, clean, irrevocable “evergreen” letter of credit, payable on sight, in form and substance satisfactory to Sublandlord and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Article 23 of the Overlease.   Said Security Deposit shall be proportionately increased in the event Subtenant leases any Storage Space.  Sublandlord hereby approves Silicon Valley Bank, N.A. as the issuer of the letter of credit.   The failure to timely deliver any subsequent or extension letter of credit shall constitute a material default hereunder for which no notice need be given, and for which no grace or cure period need be allowed (notwithstanding anything herein set forth to the contrary) and the letter of credit, then in effect, may be presented for payment and negotiated notwithstanding that no other default may then exist under this Sublease and upon such presentment and negotiation, the default for Subtenant’s failure to so deliver shall be deemed to have been cured.  In the event Subtenant defaults beyond any applicable notice and cure periods herein set forth in respect of any of the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants and obligations of this Sublease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, Sublandlord may, without first applying any other security, use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the proceeds of the letter of credit or cash security deposit delivered as security hereunder to the extent required for the payment of any Fixed Rent or Additional Rent or any other sum as to which Subtenant is in default or for any sum which Sublandlord may incur or may be required to incur by reason of Subtenant’s default in respect of any of the terms, provisions, conditions, covenants and obligations on Subtenant’s part to be performed hereunder, including but not limited to, any actual out-of-pocket damages or deficiencies which accrued before or after the commencement of summary proceedings or other re-entry by Sublandlord.    If Subtenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Sublease, the letter of credit or cash security deposit shall be returned to Subtenant after the Expiration Date and after delivery of possession of the Sublease Premises to Sublandlord.  Every cash security deposit or letter of credit deposited with Sublandlord hereunder shall be transferable by its terms to an assignee of Sublandlord’s interests under the Overlease without charge to Sublandlord and without any further responsibility and liability with respect to such security and Subtenant agrees to look solely to such assignee of Sublandlord (who may be an assignee/successor-in-interest, by way of example and not by limitation, as a result of a merger with Sublandlord, as a result of a purchase of substantially all of




Sublandlord’s assets, etc.) for the return of the cash security deposit or letter of credit or the proceeds thereof.  The provisions of the preceding sentence are self-operative without the need for further documentation.  Subtenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber any cash security deposit or letter of credit or any of the proceeds thereof.

(h)           If Subtenant shall faithfully perform all of the covenants and agreements contained in this Sublease on the part of Subtenant to be performed and provided that there is not an Event of Default under the terms and conditions of this Sublease, the Security Deposit shall be reduced as follows:

(i)                                     to an amount equal to Two Million Four Hundred Ninety-Three Thousand Five Hundred Eighty-Six and No/100 Dollars ($2,493,586.00) upon Subtenant having fully satisfied its obligations set forth in Section III (D) of Exhibit C attached hereto;

(ii)                                  to an amount equal to One Million Eight Hundred Seventy Thousand Three Hundred One Dollars ($1,870,301.00) upon the end of the third Sublease Year (for purposes hereof, the term “Sublease Year” shall refer to the first 12 month period following the Commencement Date hereof and each succeeding 12 month period following such Commencement Date); and

(iii)                               in the event this Sublease is extended as hereinabove provided, to an amount equal to One Million Two Hundred Forty-Six Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety-Three and No/100 Dollars ($1,246,793.00) upon the end of the fifth Sublease Year.

If the Security Deposit is a letter of credit, Subtenant shall, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord, effectuate a substitution of the then current letter of credit, with a new letter of credit reflecting the applicable reduced amount set forth above, and otherwise subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Section.  If the Security Deposit is in the form of cash, Sublandlord shall, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written request of Subtenant, and provided that there is not an Event of Default under the terms and conditions of this Sublease either at the time of such request or at the time that such reduction is to take effect, refund to Subtenant the applicable difference between the then current amount of the Security Deposit and the reduced amount.

6.  USE OF SUBLEASED PREMISES.  Subtenant shall use the Subleased Premises only for those purposes allowed under the Overlease, and for no other purposes whatsoever.  Sublandlord agrees that Subtenant shall be permitted, subject to Subtenant obtaining all applicable permits and approvals and to Sublandlord’s rights under the Overlease.

7.  CONDITION OF SUBLEASED PREMISES.




(a)           Subtenant represents and warrants that it has made a thorough examination of the Subleased Premises and it is familiar with the condition thereof.  Subtenant acknowledges that it enters into this Sublease without any representation or warranties by Sublandlord or anyone acting or purporting to act on behalf of Sublandlord, as to present or future condition of the Subleased Premises or the appurtenances thereto or any improvements therein or of the Building, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.  Sublandlord hereby represents that the Subleased Premises shall be in broom clean condition and free of all occupants and from all personalty when delivered to Subtenant.  It is further agreed that, other than the Sublandlord’s Work, Sublandlord has no obligation to perform any work therein or contribute to the cost of any work.

8.  ALTERATIONS.  Other than as expressly set forth herein, Subtenant shall make no alterations, installations, additions or improvements in or to the Subleased Premises




(“Alterations”), without first obtaining Sublandlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Subtenant Alterations, including Subtenant’s Work, shall be subject to the terms of the Overlease and to the consent of Landlord.

9.  FAILURE OF SUBLANDLORD TO PERFORM OBLIGATIONS.  Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Sublandlord shall have no obligation to provide any services to the Subleased Premises or to perform the terms, covenants, conditions or obligations contained in the Overlease on the part of Landlord to be performed.  Subtenant agrees to look solely to Landlord for the furnishing of such services and the performance of such terms, covenants, conditions or obligations.  In the event that Landlord shall fail to furnish such services or to perform any of the terms, covenants, conditions or obligations contained in the Overlease on its part to be performed, Sublandlord shall be under no obligation or liability whatsoever to Subtenant for such failure.  In any event, Subtenant shall not be allowed any abatement or diminution of rent under this Sublease because of Landlord’s failure to perform any of its obligations under the Overlease unless Sublandlord is entitled to an abatement under the terms of the Sublease, in which event, Subtenant shall be entitled to a proportionate and equitable abatement.  Sublandlord agrees, however, that in the event that if Landlord shall fail to provide the services or perform the obligations to be provided or performed by it pursuant to the terms of the Overlease, Sublandlord shall, upon written notice from Subtenant, use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the terms of the Overlease, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense.  If Landlord shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under the Overlease, Sublandlord shall, upon request and at the expense of Subtenant, timely institute and diligently prosecute any action or proceeding reasonably requested by Subtenant in order to have Landlord comply with any obligation of Landlord under the Overlease or as required by law.   Subtenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against any and all costs or claims arising out of or in connection with any such action or proceeding undertaken by Sublandlord on behalf of Subtenant.  Subtenant shall not make any claim against Sublandlord for any damage which may arise, nor shall Subtenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished, by reason of (i) the failure of Landlord to keep, observe or perform any of its obligations pursuant to the Overlease, unless such failure is due to Sublandlord’s default under this Sublease, or (ii) the acts or omissions of Landlord, its agents, contractors, servants, employees, invitees or licensees.  In the event that Sublandlord elects to enforce its rights under the Overlease with respect to the Subleased Premises, Sublandlord shall charge Subtenant for its pro rata share of such costs.  The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term hereof.

10.  ACCESS.  Sublandlord and Landlord and their respective agents may, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, enter to view the Subleased Premises, and make repairs and alterations as Sublandlord and/or Landlord should elect to do and may show the Subleased Premises to others, before the expiration of the Term; provided, however, that Sublandlord may show the Subleased Premises to prospective tenants only during the last twelve (12) months of the Term; provided, further, at Subtenant’s election, except in cases of emergency, access to the




 

Subleased Premises shall be in the presence of a representative of Subtenant.  Upon entry by Sublandlord to the Subleased Premises, Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Subtenant’s use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises.

11.  INDEMNIFICATION/INSURANCE.

(a)           Subtenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sublandlord and its agents, successors and assigns, from and against any and all injury, loss, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims or damage (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) to any person or property (i) arising from, related to, or in connection with any use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant, (ii) arising from, related to, or in connection with any act or omission (including, without limitation, construction and repair of the Subleased Premises in connection with Subtenant’s Work or subsequent work) of Subtenant, its agents, contractors, employees, customers and invitees, or (iii) which occurs in any part of the Property other than the Subleased Premises and is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant, which indemnity extends to any and all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Subtenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Sublease.  This indemnification shall survive the expiration or termination of the Sublease Term.

(b)  Sublandlord shall defend, indemnify and hold Subtenant harmless from and against all claims, causes of action, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from or in connection with any injury or other damage or damages to any person or property resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord, its agents, contractors, employees, customers and invitees. This indemnification shall survive the expiration or termination of the Sublease Term.

(c)           In no event shall Sublandlord be liable for any consequential damages hereunder nor shall Subtenant be liable for any consequential damages hereunder, except as may result from Subtenant’s failure to timely surrender the Subleased Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

(d)           Subtenant shall carry insurance for all personal property and trade fixtures on the Subleased Premises and for all Alterations, including but not limited to Subtenant’s Work,  performed by Subtenant or on its account.  Subtenant shall also carry all insurance as required in the Overlease, naming Sublandlord and Landlord as additional insureds on all policies required thereunder.




 

(e)           The parties agree that all property insurance carried by either party with respect to the Subleased Premises, whether or not required by this Sublease, shall include a waiver of the subrogation of rights of recovery to the extent such rights have been waived by the insured party prior to the occurrence of loss or injury.  Each party shall be entitled to have duplicates or certificates of any policies containing such provisions.  Each party hereby waives any rights of recovery against the other for loss or injury against which the waiving party is protected by insurance containing provisions denying to the insurer acquisition by subrogation of rights of recovery, reserving, however, any rights with respect to any excess of loss or injury over the amount recovered by such insurance.

12.  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.  Subtenant shall not assign, sell, transfer (whether by operation of law or otherwise), pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber this Sublease or any portion of its interest in the Subleased Premises, nor sublet all or any portion of the Subleased Premises or permit any other person or entity to use or occupy all or any portion of the Subleased Premises, without the prior written consent of Sublandlord (which consent of Sublandlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and Landlord, and in accordance with the terms of Article 16 of the Overlease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 16.B of the Overlease shall apply to an assignment or sublease by Subtenant to an “Affiliated Transferee” as if such transfer were an assignment or sublease, as applicable, by Sublandlord, as Tenant, under the Overlease.   Notwithstanding anything in the Overlease to the contrary, if Subtenant desires to assign this Sublease or sublet more than sixty-seven percent  (67%) of the Subleased Premises (other than to an Affiliated Transferee), Subtenant shall have the right to notify Sublandlord in writing in advance.   Sublandlord shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of Subtenant’s notice, to elect to recapture the Subleased Premises effective upon the proposed effective date of the sublease or assignment (but not earlier than sixty (60) days following the date of Subtenant’s notice), which election shall be in writing and delivered within said thirty (30) day period.  If Sublandlord does not elect to recapture or fails to notify Subtenant of its election within such thirty day period, upon Subtenant’s receipt of a bona fide offer for an assignment of this Sublease or sublease of more than sixty-seven percent (67%) of the Subleased Premises and the giving of written notice to Sublandlord of such offer and the receipt by Sublandlord of any information related to the proposed sublease or assignment reasonably requested by Sublandlord, Sublandlord shall have five (5) business days in which to either consent to or deny the proposed sublease or assignment.  To the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Section 12, the terms and provisions of Article 16 of the Overlease shall apply to this Sublease between Subtenant and Sublandlord.

13.  CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease or in the Overlease, Subtenant shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease as to all or any part of the Subleased Premises, or be entitled to an abatement of Fixed Rent, the Expense Adjustment Amounts, Utility Charges, the Parking Fee, the Storage Space Charges , Subtenant Surcharges, or any other component of Rent or additional rent, by reason of a casualty or condemnation affecting the Subleased Premises unless Sublandlord is entitled to terminate the Overlease or is entitled to a corresponding abatement under the Overlease.  If Sublandlord is entitled to terminate the Overlease for all or any portion of the Subleased Premises by reason of casualty or




condemnation, Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant thereof prior to giving any notice to Landlord and Subtenant may terminate this Sublease as to any corresponding part of the Subleased Premises by written notice to Sublandlord given at least five (5) business days prior to the date(s) Sublandlord is required to give notice to Landlord of such termination under the terms of the Overlease.

14.  CONSENTS.  In no event shall Sublandlord be liable for failure to give its consent or approval in any situation where consent or approval has been withheld or refused by Landlord, whether or not such withholding or refusal was proper, provided, however that Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents.

15.  CONSENT OF LANDLORD.  (a)  Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby acknowledge and agree that this Sublease is subject to and conditioned upon Sublandlord obtaining the written consent (the “Consent”) of Landlord as provided in the Overlease.  Sublandlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Consent.  Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Sublease by Sublandlord and Subtenant, Sublandlord shall submit this Sublease to Landlord.  It is expressly understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Term shall not commence, Subtenant shall not take possession of the Subleased Premises or any part thereof, nor shall Subtenant’s other obligations hereunder begin to accrue, until the Consent has been obtained.  Subtenant hereby agrees that it shall cooperate in good faith with Sublandlord and shall comply with any reasonable requests made of Subtenant by Sublandlord or Landlord in the procurement of the Consent.

(b)           In addition to the Consent, Sublandlord agrees to request from Landlord, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at no expense to Sublandlord, a recognition agreement, whereby Landlord agrees to recognize Subtenant upon the terms of this Sublease upon a termination of the Overlease.   Any such recognition agreement, however, shall not be a condition to the commencement of this Sublease and the failure to obtain such recognition agreement shall not give Subtenant the right to terminate this Sublease pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof.

16.  DEFAULTS.  Subtenant covenants and agrees that in the event that it shall default in the performance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease beyond any applicable notice, grace or cure periods or of the Overlease as incorporated herein (collectively, an “Event of Default”), Sublandlord shall have the right to (i) any and all remedies reserved by Landlord under the Overlease, which are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, with the same force and effect as if herein specifically set forth in full, and (ii) any and all other rights and remedies available to Sublandlord at law and in equity.
