LEASE
THIS LEASE is made as of May 16, 2003, by and between WB MURPHY RANCH, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (Landlord), and PHOENIX TECHNOLOGIES LTD., a Delaware corporation (Tenant).
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord that certain office building located at 911 Murphy Ranch Road, Milpitas, California (the Premises) outlined on the floor plan attached hereto and marked EXHIBIT A, the Premises being agreed, for the purposes of this Lease, to have an area of approximately 86,452 rentable square feet, and part of a 5 building complex (the Project) more particularly described in EXHIBIT B attached hereto. Landlord represents that the Project currently contains approximately 352,358 rentable square feet of space. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may elect to sell one or more of the buildings within the Project and that upon any such sale Tenants pro-rata share of those Direct Expenses allocated to the outside areas of the Project may be adjusted accordingly by Landlord, subject to the provisions of Section 4.1(a)(i) below. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain approval from the City of Milpitas (the City) to change the street address from 911 Murphy Ranch Road to 915 Murphy Ranch Road and shall keep Tenant informed about the status of such change. Landlord shall have no liability hereunder and shall not be in default if, despite using its reasonable efforts, the City refuses to grant permission. If the City grants permission, then from and after the Citys approval, the Premises shall be known as 915 Murphy Ranch Road and this Lease shall be deemed automatically amended as such.
Landlord and Tenant agree that said letting and hiring is upon and subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth. Tenant covenants, as a material part of the consideration for this Lease, to keep and perform each and all of said terms, covenants and conditions for which Tenant is liable and that this Lease is made upon the condition of such performance.
Landlord shall perform the Tenant Improvements described in the Work Letter attached hereto as EXHIBIT C.
ARTICLE 1
TERM
1.1 Commencement Date. The term of this Lease shall be for one hundred twenty (120) months (Lease Term or Term) unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided, commencing on the date which is the earlier of:
(a) the date on which the Premises are Substantially Complete (as hereinafter defined); or
(b) the date that Tenant opens for business in the Premises.
The Premises shall be deemed to be Substantially Complete on the earliest of the date on which: (1) Landlord files or causes to be filed with the City, if required, and delivers to Tenant an architects notice of substantial completion, or similar written notice that the Premises are substantially complete, (2) Tenant first occupies all or any portion of the Premises, or (3) a certificate of occupancy (or a reasonably substantial equivalent such as a signoff from a building inspector or a temporary certificate of occupancy) is issued for the Premises; provided, however, that if the Premises are prevented from being Substantially Complete as a result of Delays Caused by Tenant (as defined in the Work Letter), then the Premises shall be deemed to be Substantially Complete on the date they would have been Substantially Complete but for such Delays Caused by Tenant. Determination that the Premises are Substantially Complete shall not, in and of itself, constitute satisfaction of Landlords obligation to complete the Tenant Improvements in strict compliance with the Work Letter.
1.1.1 The date that the Lease commences in accordance with this Article 1 shall be referred to herein as the Commencement Date. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the Lease Term will be extended for the number of days remaining in the month in which the Commencement Date occurs. On and after the Commencement Date, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect for the period of time specified as the Lease Term or until this Lease is terminated as otherwise provided herein. Promptly following the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a Commencement Date Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F acknowledging, among other things, the (a) Commencement Date, (b) scheduled termination date of this Lease, (c) Tenants acceptance of the Premises, and (d) amount of the Lease Termination Fee (as hereinafter defined). Tenants failure to execute the Commencement Date Memorandum shall not affect Tenants liability hereunder.
1.1.2 Reference in this Lease to a Lease Year shall mean a period of twelve successive calendar months. The first Lease Year will begin on the Commencement Date if the Commencement Date occurs on the first day of a calendar month. If it occurs on any day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the first Lease Year will commence on the first day of the calendar month next following the Commencement Date.
1.1.3 Landlord and Tenant estimate that the Commencement Date shall be November 1, 2003, but such estimate is not and shall not be deemed to be a representation or warranty by Landlord that Premises shall be ready for Tenants occupancy on such date.
1.1.4 At any time prior to the last day of the fifth (5th) Lease Year, Tenant may provide an irrevocable written notice (Lease Termination Notice) to Landlord terminating this Lease as of the last day of the sixth (6th) Lease Year (Termination Date), subject to the terms of this Section 1.1.4. The Lease Termination Notice shall only be effective if it is accompanied by the Lease Termination Fee, which shall be calculated by Landlord in the manner set forth in this Section 1.1.4, plus all monetary amounts which are then past due and are payable under the Lease. The Lease Termination Fee shall mean an amount equal to the unamortized value as of the Termination Date of the Lease Concessions (as hereinafter defined), based on an amortization of the Lease Concessions over the initial Lease Term, with an imputed interest rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, and is estimated to be $1,917,317 based on the anticipated cost
2
of the Tenant Improvements, Moving Allowance and leasing commissions. The final amount of the Lease Termination Fee shall be confirmed by Landlord and Tenant by execution of the Commencement Date Memorandum. For purposes of this Section 1.1.4, Lease Concessions shall mean (i) the cost of the Tenant Improvements (as described in Exhibit C hereto), (ii) the amount of the Moving Allowance paid to Tenant, and (iii) the amount of real estate leasing commissions paid to any broker (and any unpaid amounts owed to any broker) by Landlord in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Lease. , Tenant shall pay the Lease Termination Fee to Landlord concurrently with the delivery of the Lease Termination Notice. Tenant shall have no right to exercise this early termination option and the same shall be null and void and irrevocably waived by Tenant if Tenant fails to comply with and perform each and every condition and obligation specified in this Section 1.1.4 at the time and in the manner provided herein. In the event Tenant properly exercises its right to terminate this Lease in accordance with this Section 1.1.4, this Lease shall terminate on the Termination Date.
ARTICLE 2
POSSESSION
2.1 Lease in Full Force and Effect. Tenant agrees that, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the scheduled Commencement Date, other than as a result of Delays Caused by Tenant (as defined in the Work Letter), (which shall result in a day for day extension for each day resulting from a Delay Caused by Tenant) and except as provided in this Section 2.1, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, but in such event the Lease Term shall not commence until Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commencement Date has not occurred by January 1, 2004 other than as a result of Delays Caused by Tenant (which shall result in a day for day extension for each day resulting from a Delay Caused by Tenant), then Tenants sole remedy shall be that Landlord shall reimburse Tenant an amount equal to the difference in basic monthly rent Tenant actually pays pursuant to its Old Lease (as hereinafter defined) during a hold-over of its Old Premises (as hereinafter defined) from and after January 1, 2004 and the basic monthly rent Tenant was actually paying during the last month of the term of its Old Lease (as hereinafter defined) within ten (10) days of receipt by Landlord of a statement setting forth such charges (and reasonable evidence therefor), for so long as the Commencement Date has not occurred, other than as a result of Delays Caused by Tenant (which shall result in a day for day extension for each day resulting from a Delay Caused by Tenant), Landlords exposure for the same not to exceed $60,621.40 on a per month basis. As used herein, the term Old Premises shall be and mean that certain premises leased by Montague LLC, successor-in-interest to The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States (Old Landlord) to Tenant and located at 411 East Plumeria Drive, San Jose, California (Old Premises) under that certain Lease by and between Old Landlord and Tenant, dated as of May 15, 1996 (the Old Lease). Tenant represents and warrants that Tenants base monthly rent under the Old Lease for the last month of Tenants term thereunder is $121,242.80 and that the hold-over penalty under the Old Lease is 150% of such base monthly rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Commencement Date has not occurred by April 1, 2004, other than as a result of Delays Caused by Tenant (which shall result in a day for day extension for each day resulting from a Delay Caused by Tenant), then
3
Tenants sole remedy shall be to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord, no later than April 30, 2004 (as such date may be extended on a day to day basis for Delays Caused by Tenant), such termination to be effective upon the giving of such notice, and Landlord shall be entitled to exercise such termination right as well, in the same manner (provided, however, that in the event Landlord elects to so terminate, (i) Delays Caused by Landlord shall result in a day for day extension of such April 1 and April 30 dates, respectively, and (ii) Delays Caused by Tenant shall result in a day for day extension (not to exceed 15 days in the aggregate for all such Delays Caused by Tenant) of such April 1 and April 30 dates, respectively). Except as expressly provided in this Section 2.1, Tenant acknowledges that this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting from any delay in delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant or occurrence of the Commencement Date.
2.2. Acceptance by Tenant. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date in material compliance with all Applicable Laws (as hereinafter defined). Tenant has determined that the Premises are appropriate for Tenants use and Tenant acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, neither Landlord nor any broker or agent has made any representations or warranties in connection with the physical condition of the Premises or their fitness for Tenants use. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, Landlord shall not be required to make any expenditure, incur any obligation, or incur any liability of any kind whatsoever in connection with this Lease or the ownership, construction, maintenance, operation or repair of the Premises or the Project. Tenants possession of the Premises during the period of time, if any, prior to the Commencement Date, shall be subject to all the provisions of this Lease and shall not advance the expiration date.
2.3 Landlords Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment. There is currently located in the Premises certain items of furniture, fixtures and equipment belonging to Landlord (as more particularly described on Exhibit G hereto, Landlords FF&E). Tenant shall have the right to use Landlords FF&E during the Lease Term, and upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease shall return the same to Landlord in substantially the same condition as existed as of the Commencement Date, subject to ordinary wear and tear. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be obligated to replace worn-out items of Landlords FF&E, and Tenant may dispose of the same. Any furniture, fixtures and equipment owned by Tenant or installed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises, whether or not as replacement of worn-out items of Landlords FF&E, shall be and remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at any time during the Lease Term.
ARTICLE 3
RENT
3.1 Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in lawful money of the United States of America, at the address of Landlord designated on the signature page of this Lease or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing, the monthly base rent (the Base Rent) in advance, without notice, demand, offset or deduction, on the first day of each calendar month. Tenant shall pay the fifth months Base Rent on the date Tenant executes this Lease. Tenant shall pay the sixth months Base Rent on the first day of the
4
sixth month of the Lease Term, and shall continue to pay Base Rent on the first day of each month thereafter (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided) as follows:
Months of Term | Base Rent/Per Month | |
1-4 | $0.00 | |
5-12 | $90,774.60 | |
13-24 | $93,497.84 | |
25-36 | $96,302.77 | |
37-48 | $99,191.86 | |
49-60 | $102,167.61 | |
61-72 | $105,232.64 | |
73-84 | $108,389.62 | |
85-96 | $111,641.31 | |
97-108 | $114,990.55 | |
109-120 | $118,440.26 |
If the Term commences or ends on a date other than the first or last day of a month, Base Rent shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month. Tenant shall pay Landlord the Rent (as hereinafter defined) due under this Lease without any deduction or offset whatsoever by Tenant, foreseeable or unforeseeable.
3.2 Additional Rent. In addition to the Base Rent, Tenant agrees to pay as additional rental (the Additional Rent and together with the Base Rent, the Rent) the amount of rental adjustments and all other charges required by this Lease. All sums other than the Base Rent that Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease will be Additional Rent, whether or not such sums are designated as Additional Rent.
3.3 Late Charge and Interest. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the late payment of any Rent will cause Landlord to incur additional costs, including administration and collection costs, processing and accounting expenses, and increased debt service (the Delinquency Costs). If Landlord has not received any installment of Rent when due, Tenant shall pay a late charge (the Late Charge) equal to four percent (4%) of the delinquent amount; provided, however, that Tenant will be provided with three (3) grace periods in each twelve (12) month period, wherein Landlord will provide Tenant with written notice of such delinquent payment and Tenant shall have five (5) days in which to pay such delinquent Rent before the Late Charge applies. Tenant agrees that the Late Charge represents a reasonable estimate of the Delinquency Costs that will be incurred by Landlord. In addition, any amount not paid by one party to the other when due under this Lease shall bear interest from the date the amount was due until the date the amount is paid in full at a rate per annum (the Applicable Interest Rate) equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum interest rate permitted by law or (b) three percent (3%) above the prime rate in effect as of the due date as published in The Wall Street Journal (or, if such rate is no longer published, a substitute rate reasonably selected by Landlord). Landlord and Tenant agree that it is difficult to ascertain the damage that Landlord will suffer as a result of the late payment of any Rent and that the Late Charge and interest are the best estimates of the damage that Landlord will suffer in the event of late payment.

ARTICLE 4

(a) For the purpose of this Lease, the following terms are defined as follows:
(i) Tenants Percentage. That portion of the Project occupied by Tenant divided by the total rentable square footage of the Project, which result is the following: 24.53527%. In the event that Landlord provides any of the services described in Section 4.1(a)(ii)(B), below, to less than entire Project, Tenants Percentage for such services shall mean the rentable square footage of Premises divided by the total rentable square feet of the portion of the Project to which such services are provided, as determined by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing or elsewhere herein, Tenants Percentage with respect to Direct Expenses which relate solely to the Premises (as opposed to the Common Areas) shall be 100%. The objective of this Section 4.1 is to provide that Tenant shall be responsible (a) for 100% of the Direct Expenses which relate solely to the Premises and (b) for Tenants Percentage of the Direct Expenses which relate to the Common Area. Direct Expenses which relate to the entire Project which benefit the Premises as well as the rest of the Project shall be allocated to Tenant based on Tenants Percentage.
(ii) Direct Expenses. The term Direct Expenses shall include Taxes (as hereinafter defined) and Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined).
(A) Taxes means the sum of any and all real and personal property taxes and assessments, possessory-interest taxes, service payments in lieu of such taxes or fees, similar taxes or assessments (including fees in-lieu of any such tax or assessment) which are assessed, levied, charged, conferred or imposed by any public or quasi-public authority upon the Project (or any real property comprising any portion thereof) or its operations, together with all taxes, assessments or other fees imposed by any public authority upon or measured by any Rent or other charges payable hereunder, including any gross receipts tax or excise tax levied by any governmental authority with respect to receipt of rental income, or upon, with respect to or by reason of the possession, leasing, operation, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any portion thereof, or documentary transfer taxes upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring a leasehold interest in the Premises, together with any tax imposed in substitution, partially or totally, of any tax previously included within the aforesaid definition or any additional tax the nature of which was previously included within the aforesaid definition, together with any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys, administrative and expert witness fees and costs) of challenging any of the foregoing or seeking, the reduction in or abatement, redemption or return of any of the foregoing, but only to the extent of any such reduction, abatement, redemption or return. All references to Taxes during a particular year shall be deemed to refer to taxes accrued during such year, or portion thereof, during the Lease Term, including supplemental tax bills regardless of when they are actually assessed and without regard to when such taxes are payable.

In no event shall Tenant or any Tenant Party (as hereinafter defined) be entitled to file any property
6
tax assessment appeal. Tenants obligations for Taxes for the last full and/or partial year(s) of the Term shall survive the expiration or early termination of the Lease. Tenant will have no obligation to pay for penalties and interest other than those attributable to Tenants failure to comply timely with its payment and other obligations pursuant to this Lease, any tax which may be levied upon net income or profits of Landlord or any personal property taxes, business or occupancy tax, gift, franchise, capital levy, or transfer taxes which may be levied against any estate or interest of Landlord, land development fees, including assessments of any kind for utilities and improvements installed in connection with the initial development of the Project, except to the extent such taxes or assessments are currently imposed.

(B) Operating Expenses means the total costs and expenses incurred by Landlord during the term of this Lease in the operation, maintenance, repair and management of the Project (provided that they relate to the Premises, or to the Premises and some portion of the rest of the Project) and/or the Common Area (as hereinafter defined) (including, without limitation, the costs incurred by Landlord under the CC&Rs if Landlord incurs such costs under the CC&Rs for the operation, maintenance, repair, replacement and management of the Project and the Common Area in lieu of incurring such costs directly for the operation, maintenance, repair, replacement and management of the Common Area), and the Premises including, but not limited to, (a) repairs to and maintenance of the roof (and roof membrane), except for the Roof Repair (as hereafter defined), which shall not be included in Operating Expenses, skylights and exterior walls of the Premises; (b) cleaning, maintenance, repair, replacement, utility costs and landscaping of the entrances, lobbies and other public areas of the Premises, walkways, landscaped areas, driveways necessary for access to the Premises, parking areas (including sweeping, striping and slurry coating (but not the first slurry coating and striping after the date hereof)), common driveways, outdoor lighting, walkways, landscaping, and other common facilities designated by Landlord from time to time for the common use of all tenants of the Project (the Common Area), and other costs which are allocable to the Common Area or the Premises; (c) the costs and premiums relating to the insurance maintained by Landlord with respect to the Project, including, without limitation, Landlords cost of any reasonable self-insurance deductible or retention; (d) service and maintenance contracts for, and the repair and replacement of, the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems (except that the costs of acquiring one turbine for the HVAC (Turbine) the first time for Tenants exclusive use shall not be an Operating Expense) and elevators, if any, and maintenance, repair, replacement, monitoring and operation of the fire/life safety system, (e) service and maintenance contracts for security, cleaning, janitorial (excluding such cleaning and janitorial services within the Premises, which shall be performed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense) and landscaping services; (f) trash collection (g) all wage and labor costs, including fringe benefits, applicable to persons engaged in the operation, maintenance and repair of the Project as Landlords employees; (h) capital improvements made to or capital assets acquired for the Premises or the Common Area after the Commencement Date that (1) are intended to reduce Operating Expenses, to the extent they actually do reduce Operating Expenses, or (2) are reasonably necessary for the health and safety of the occupants of the Project or (3) are required under any and all applicable laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, conditions of approval and requirements of
7
all federal, state, county, municipal and governmental authorities and all administrative or judicial orders or decrees and all permits, licenses, approvals and other entitlements issued by governmental entities, and rules of common law, and all Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), relating to or affecting the Project or the Premises or the use or operation thereof, hereafter enacted, and existing laws (including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 USC 12111 et seq. (the ADA)) if and to the extent the same may be hereafter amended from time to time, and any CC&Rs, or any corporation, committee or association formed in connection therewith, or any supplement thereto recorded in any official or public records with respect to the Project or any portion thereof (collectively, Applicable Laws), which capital costs, or an allocable portion thereof, shall be amortized over the period reasonably determined by Landlord, together with interest on the unamortized balance at the Applicable Interest Rate (as hereinafter defined) in effect as of the date such capital cost is first incurred with respect to the applicable capital improvement; and (i) any other similar costs incurred by Landlord related to the Project (provided that they relate to the Premises, or to the Premises and some portion of the rest of the Project) and/or the Common Area. Operating Expenses shall also include an administrative fee to Landlord for accounting and project management services relating to the Project equal to five percent (5%) of the actual total costs for maintenance and operation of the Common Area and the Premises but the basis will be exclusive of expenses in connection with Landlords development, management and administrative fees paid to third parties to perform any or all of Landlords supervisory and administrative obligations, and the costs of insurance premiums and property taxes and assessments (but not costs incurred contesting property taxes and assessments). Operating Expenses shall also include all costs and fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the management of this Lease and the Premises including the cost of those services which are customarily performed by a property management services company, whether performed internally or through an outside management company, including, without limitation, costs paid to the property managers agents or employees. Operating Expenses shall not include (i) costs associated with construction, tenant improvement, real estate commissions and attorneys fees incurred in connection with new leases, (ii) any costs associated with the construction, maintenance, or operation of buildings or other spaces in the Project intended for lease to other tenants and associated improvements, depreciation and loan payments, except for such expenses which benefit the Premises, or the Premises and some portion of the rest of the Project, (iii) costs to correct construction defects, or (iv) costs of repairs or other work as to which Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or a third party. Operating Expenses that cover a period not within the Lease Term will be prorated.
(b) Payment of Direct Expenses.
(i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent Tenants Percentage of Direct Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord. Tenant shall pay such Additional Rent to Landlord without offset or deduction, concurrently with the regular monthly Base Rent payment next due following the receipt of such statement from Landlord setting forth the amount owed by Tenant.
(ii) On or before April 30th of each year (except for the first year of the Lease Term, in which case, on or before December 31st of such year) (and from time to time as
8
Landlord reasonably determines appropriate), Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlords estimate of the Tenants Percentage of Direct Expenses for the calendar year (the Landlords Estimate). This estimated amount shall be divided into twelve equal monthly installments; provided, however, that Landlord may adjust such amounts from time to time, or divide them into something other than twelve equal monthly installments, in order to allow for the Landlords Estimate to bear an equitable relationship to Tenants Percentage of reasonably anticipated Direct Expenses over the calendar year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord without offset or deduction, concurrently with the regular monthly Base Rent payment next due following the receipt of such statement, an amount equal to one monthly installment multiplied by the number of months from January in the calendar year in which said statement is submitted to the month of such payment, both months inclusive. Subsequent installments shall be payable concurrently with the regular monthly Base Rent payments for the balance of that calendar year and shall continue until the next calendar years statement is rendered.
(iii) As soon as possible after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement showing the amount of Tenants Percentage of Direct Expenses and the amount of Landlords Estimate actually paid by Tenant (the Operating Expense Statement). Thereafter, Landlord shall reconcile the above amounts and shall either bill Tenant for the balance due (payable within thirty (30) days of receipt) or credit any overpayment by Tenant towards the next monthly installment of Landlords Estimate falling due, as the case may be.
(c) Tenants obligation to pay Tenants Percentage of Direct Expenses shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenants Percentage of Direct Expenses shall be paid by Tenant when due even though the Term has expired and/or Tenant has vacated the Premises.
(d) Landlord will keep full, accurate, and separate books of account with backup documentation covering the Direct Expenses for three years after the close of each calendar year. Tenant will have the right at reasonable times during the term to inspect and obtain copies of such records. In addition, Tenant is entitled, once during any calendar year and once within thirty (30) days after expiration or termination of this Lease, to an independent audit by an Accounting Firm (as defined below) designated by Tenant of Landlords books and records to determine Tenants Direct Expenses charges. Audits may be conducted at any reasonable time, upon at least twenty (20) days prior, written notice to Landlord, and will be conducted at normal business hours at the Project or at another reasonably convenient location designated by Landlord. Tenant will promptly pay to Landlord any deficiency or Landlord will promptly refund to Tenant any overpayment, as the case may be, which is conclusively established by the audit. Tenants right to audit for any subject year shall expire one (1) year after the delivery to Tenant of the Operating Expense Statement for the calendar year which Tenant desires to audit and, unless such right is exercised prior to such time, Tenant shall have waived its right to request such an audit for such time period. The costs of the audit will be borne by Tenant unless the audit shows that Landlord overstated Tenants Direct Expenses charges by more than 5% for the period examined, in which case the reasonable and necessary third party out-of-pocket costs for the audit will be borne by Landlord. The audit shall only be conducted by a reputable accounting firm (Accounting Firm). As a condition precedent to any such audit, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of Tenants written agreement with such Accounting Firm, which
9
agreement shall include provisions which state that: (A) such Accounting Firm is not being engaged as a contingency or other incentive based auditor; (B) such Accounting Firm will not in any manner solicit any other tenant of the Project with respect to an audit or other review of Landlords accounting records at the Project, and (C) such Accounting Firm shall maintain in strict confidence any and all information obtained in connection with the Audit and shall not disclose such information to any person or entity other than to the management personnel of Tenant. Prior to the commencement of any such audit, the Accounting Firm, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance acceptable to Landlord whereby the Accounting Firm and Tenant shall covenant, among other things, that the Accounting Firm and the Tenant shall keep the books and records of Landlord in strict confidence.

LIENS
Tenant shall not permit any mechanics, materialmens or other liens to be filed against the Premises or Project, nor against Tenants leasehold interest in the Premises, as a result of work undertaken by Tenant or any Tenant Party or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant or any Tenant Party. Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices which it deems necessary for protection from such liens. Tenant will give Landlord prior written notice of Tenants intention to contest any such lien, in which case upon demand by Landlord, Tenant shall procure and record a lien release bond under applicable law in an amount sufficient to remove the lien of record. If a judgment is rendered against Tenant by a court of competent jurisdiction, Tenant will satisfy such judgment at once. If Tenant does not post the release bond or fails to pay any such adverse judgment for foreclosure of a lien within thirty (30) days after the request of the Landlord, then Landlord may pay the judgment and/or otherwise take action to remove such liens, as Landlord may determine, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord at once, upon notice by Landlord, any sum paid by Landlord to remove such liens, together with interest at the maximum rate per annum permitted by law from the date of such payment by Landlord.

Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry to the Premises.

In the event Tenant satisfies its obligations pursuant to this clause (iv) by maintaining business interruption insurance, Tenant shall pay to Landlord out of any such proceeds received by Tenant an amount equal to all Rent for the applicable period covered by such proceeds (not to exceed twelve (12) months), without regard to any rental abatement provided herein.
21
(v) Any other form or forms of insurance as Tenant or Landlord or any mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time in form, in amounts and for insurance risks against which a prudent tenant would protect itself, but only if landlords of projects similar to the Project are requiring their tenants to obtain such insurance.

Within ten days after the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates evidencing the existence of the amounts and forms of coverage satisfactory to Landlord. No such policy shall be cancelable or reducible in coverage except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or binders thereof, or Landlord may order such insurance and charge the cost thereof to Tenant as additional rent. If Landlord obtains any insurance that is the responsibility of Tenant under this section, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written statement setting forth the cost of any such insurance and showing in reasonable detail the manner in which it has been computed.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, the parties hereto agree not to make a claim against the other, or the others respective agents, employees, successors, assignees and subtenants with respect to any liability hereunder, which the other would otherwise be responsible for, for damage to any property that is caused by or results from a risk which is required to be insured against under the Lease, without regard to the negligence or willful misconduct of the entity so released.

ARTICLE 21
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
21.1 Casualty. If the Premises should be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate written notice to Landlord. Within thirty (30) days after receipt from Tenant of such written notice, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the necessary repairs can reasonably be made: (a) within one hundred eighty (180) days from the time the Premises was damaged or destroyed or (b) in more than one hundred eighty (180) days from the time the Premises was damaged or destroyed.
21.1.1 Less Than 180 Days From Damage or Destruction. If the Premises should be damaged only to such extent that rebuilding or repairs can reasonably be completed within one hundred eighty (180) days from the time the Premises was damaged or destroyed, this Lease shall not terminate and, provided that insurance proceeds are available to pay for the full repair of all damage (less any deductible, and provided that Landlord shall use diligent efforts to avail itself of such proceeds), Landlord shall repair the Premises, except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace Tenants Property which may have been placed in, on or about the Premises by or for the benefit of Tenant. If Tenant is required to vacate all or a portion of the Premises during Landlords repair thereof, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately on the basis of the size of the area of the Premises that is damaged (i.e., the number of square feet of floor area of the Premises that is damaged compared to the total square footage of the floor area of the Premises) from the date Tenant vacates all or a portion of the Premises that was damaged only during the period the Premises are unfit for occupancy.
21.1.2 Greater Than 180 Days From Damage or Destruction. If the Premises should be damaged to such extent that rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed in less than one hundred eighty (180) days from the time the Premises was damaged or destroyed, then, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice within twenty (20) days after notice from Landlord specifying such time period of repair, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Rent shall be abated from the date Tenant vacates the Premises. In the event that neither party elects to terminate this Lease Landlord shall commence and prosecute to completion the repairs to the Premises, provided that insurance proceeds are available to pay for the full repair of all damage (less any deductible, and provided that Landlord shall use diligent efforts to avail itself of such proceeds), except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace Tenants Property. If Tenant is required to vacate all or a portion of the Premises during Landlords repair thereof, the Rent payable hereunder shall be abated proportionately on the basis of the size of the area of the Premises that is damaged (i.e., the number of square feet of floor
23
area of the Premises that is damaged compared to the total square footage of the floor area of the Premises) from the date Tenant vacates all or a portion of the Premises that was damaged only during the period the Premises are unfit for occupancy.
21.1.3 Premises Not Completed within 180 Days After Damage or Destruction. In the event that repair or restoration is not completed within one hundred eighty (180) days, but subject to Delays Caused by Tenant (which shall result in a day for day extension for each day resulting from a Delay Caused by Tenant), from the time the Premises was damaged or destroyed, then, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other within twenty (20) days after such 180-day period (subject to Delays Caused by Tenant (which shall result in a day for day extension for each day resulting from a Delay Caused by Tenant)), in which case this Lease shall terminate and Rent shall be abated from the date Tenant vacates the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Lease shall not terminate, but shall continue in full force and effect, if the repairs are then substantially completed such that Tenant can occupy a substantial portion of the Premises and conduct its business therein within two hundred (200) days from the time the Premises was damaged or destroyed.
21.1.4 Casualty During the Last Year of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, if the Premises shall be damaged within the last year of the Lease Term in a manner which unreasonably interferes with Tenants use of the Premises, and if the cost to repair or reconstruct the portion of the Premises which was damaged or destroyed shall exceed $50,000, then, irrespective of the time necessary to complete such repair or reconstruction, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate the Lease effective upon the occurrence of such damage, by giving written notice within twenty (20) days after notice from Landlord specifying the estimated cost of repair, in which event the Rent shall be abated from the date Tenant vacates the Premises. The foregoing right shall be in addition to any other rights and options of Landlord or Tenant under this Article 21.
21.2 Uninsured Casualty. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord Tenants share of any reasonable deductible or retention amount payable under the property insurance for the Premises. In the event that the Premises is damaged to the extent Tenant is unable to use the Premises and such damage is caused by a casualty which is not ordinarily insurable, then Landlord shall have the right at Landlords option, in Landlords sole and absolute discretion, either (i) to repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible at Landlords expense, or (ii) to give written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence of such damage of Landlords intention to terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of such damage. In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall have the right within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice to give written notice to Landlord of Tenants commitment to pay the cost of repair of such damage, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Landlord shall make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible subject to the following conditions: Tenant shall deposit with Landlord Landlords estimated cost of such repairs not later than five (5) business days prior to Landlords commencement of the repair work. If the cost of such repairs exceeds the amount deposited, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such excess cost within ten (10) business days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord. Any amount deposited by Tenant in excess of the cost of such repairs shall be refunded within thirty (30) days of Landlords final payment to Landlords contractor. If Tenant does not give such
24
notice within the ten (10) day period, or fails to make such deposit as required, Landlord shall have the right, in Landlords sole and absolute discretion, to immediately terminate this Lease to be effective as of the date of the occurrence of the damage.
21.3 Waiver. With respect to any damage or destruction which Landlord is obligated to repair or may elect to repair, Tenant waives all rights to terminate this Lease pursuant to rights otherwise presently or hereafter accorded by law, including without limitation any rights granted under Section 1932, subdivision 2, and Section 1933, of the California Civil Code.
ARTICLE 22
EMINENT DOMAIN
22.1 Total Condemnation. If all of the Premises is condemned by eminent domain or sold under threat of condemnation for any public or quasi-public use or purpose (Condemned), this Lease shall terminate as of the earlier of the date the condemning authority takes title to or possession of the Premises, and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination.
22.2 Partial Condemnation. If any portion of the Premises is condemned and such partial condemnation materially impairs Tenants ability to use the Premises for Tenants business, Landlord shall have the option in Landlords sole and absolute discretion of either (i) relocating Tenant to comparable space within the Project or (ii) terminate this Lease as of the earlier of the date title vests in the condemning authority or as of the date an order of immediate possession is issued and Rent shall be adjusted to the date of termination. If such partial condemnation does not materially impair Tenants ability to use the Premises for the business of Tenant, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises to the extent of any condemnation proceeds recovered by Landlord (and Landlord shall use diligent efforts to avail itself of such proceeds), excluding the portion thereof lost in such condemnation, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect except that after the date of such title vesting or order of immediate possession and Rent shall be equitably adjusted.
22.3 Award. In the event of any taking, Landlord and Tenant may separately pursue their claims against the condemning authority. Tenant will be entitled to receive, and Landlord will have no right to pursue for itself, any award for claims based on the adjusted book value (deemed to be the amortized or depreciated value for book purposes) of construction of any alterations installed at Tenants expense, loss of or damage to Tenants personal property, loss to Tenant because of interruption of business, Tenants loss of goodwill and Tenants cost of removal and relocation. Tenant will have no right to pursue claims or retain any award to which Landlord is entitled so as inequitably to diminish Landlords award. No condemnation of any kind shall be construed to constitute an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant or a breach of any express or implied covenant of quiet enjoyment. Tenant hereby waives the effect of Sections 1265.120 and 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
22.4 Temporary Condemnation. In the event of a temporary condemnation not extending beyond the Term, this Lease shall remain in effect, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent and Tenant shall receive any award made for such condemnation except damages to any of Landlords property. If a temporary condemnation is for a period which extends beyond the Term, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of initial occupancy by the condemning authority and any such award shall be distributed in accordance with the preceding section.
25
ARTICLE 23
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
23.1 Event of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default (an Event of Default) hereunder by Tenant:
(i) The vacation or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant. Abandonment is herein defined to include, but is not limited to, any absence by Tenant from the Premises for ten (10) business days or longer while in default of any provision of this Lease.
(ii) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent or any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder within five (5) business days after written notice has been given to Tenant that such payment is delinquent.
(iii) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in Section 23.1(a)(i) or (ii) above, if the failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice has been given to Tenant. If, however, the failure cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, but is curable within ninety (90) days, Tenant will not be in default of this Lease if Tenant commences to cure the failure within the cure period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the failure, provided, however, if such failure has not been cured within ninety (90) days after notice has been given to Tenant (and regardless of the nature of the failure), Tenant shall be in default hereunder.
(iv) (1) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (2) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); (3) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenants assets located at the Premises or of Tenants interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days; or (4) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenants assets located at the Premises or of Tenants interest in this Lease where such seizure is not discharged within thirty days.
23.2. Remedies.
23.2.1 Termination. In the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right to give a written termination notice to Tenant (which notice shall be in lieu of any notice required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161, et seq.) and, on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be at least three (3) business days after delivery of the notice to Tenant, this Lease shall terminate unless on or before such date all arrears of Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease and all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord hereunder shall have been paid by Tenant and all other Events of Default at the time existing shall have been fully remedied to the satisfaction of Landlord.
26
23.2.2 Repossession. Following termination, without prejudice to other remedies Landlord may have, Landlord may (i) peaceably re-enter the Premises upon voluntary surrender by Tenant or remove Tenant therefrom and any other persons occupying the Premises, using such legal proceedings as may be available; (ii) repossess the Premises or relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term), at such rental and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in Landlords sole discretion shall determine, with the right to make reasonable alterations and repairs to the Premises; and (iii) remove all personal property therefrom in accordance with applicable law.
23.2.3 Unpaid Rent. Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies of a landlord provided by Applicable Law, including the right to recover from Tenant: (a) the worth, at the time of award, of the unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time of termination, (b)the worth, at the time of award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have been earned after the date of termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, (c) the worth, at the time of award, of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, (d) all unamortized free rent, if any, (e) any and all unamortized sums expended by Landlord for tenant improvements and leasing commissions, and (f) any other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenants default. The phrase worth, at the time of award, as used in (a) and (b) above, shall be computed at the Applicable Interest Rate, and as used in (c) above, shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). The items referenced in clauses (d) and (e), above shall be amortized on a straight line basis over the length of the Lease Term.
23.2.4 Continuation. Even though an Event of Default may have occurred, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenants right to possession; and Landlord may enforce all of Landlords rights and remedies under this Lease, including the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue the Lease in effect after lessees breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations) to recover Rent as it becomes due. No act by Landlord hereunder, including acts of maintenance, preservation or efforts to lease the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon application of Landlord to protect Landlords interest under this Lease, shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease. So long as this Lease is not terminated, 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 new or existing subleases and to add to the Rent payable hereunder all of Landlords reasonable costs in so doing, including without limitation attorneys fees and costs, with interest at the Applicable Interest Rate from the date of such expenditure. Landlord shall have no duty to relet the Premises so long as it has other unleased space available in the Project.
27
23.2.5 Cumulative. Each right and remedy of Landlord provided for herein or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise. No payment by Tenant of a lesser amount than the Rent nor any endorsement on any check or letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction of full payment of Rent; and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlords right to recover the balance of such Rent or to pursue other remedies.
23.3 Default by Landlord. Landlord will be in default hereunder if Landlord fails to perform any provision of this Lease required of it and the failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice has been given to Landlord by Tenant. If, however, the failure cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, but is curable, Landlord will not be in default of this Lease if Landlord commences to cure the failure within the cure period and diligently and in good faith continues to cure the failure. Notices given under this Section 23.3 will specify the alleged breach and the applicable Lease provisions. Tenant may, after expiration of the cure period (unless there is an emergency which the Landlord is not attempting to cure), correct or remedy any failure of Landlord not timely cured, and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such reasonable amounts reasonably incurred by Tenant in effectuating such cure as permitted hereunder, together with interest at the Applicable Interest Rate from the date such amounts are incurred, within ten (10) days of such demand.
23.4 Mitigation. Landlord and Tenant will each, to the extent required by Applicable Law, attempt to mitigate the damages caused by the other partys breach of this Lease. Efforts to mitigate damages will not be construed as a waiver of the nonbreaching partys right to recover damages.
ARTICLE 24
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
24.1 Tenant shall not voluntarily assign or encumber its interest in this Lease or in the Premises, or sublease all or any part of the Premises, or allow any other person or entity to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises, without first obtaining Landlords prior written consent. Any sublease, if approved by Landlord, shall be in be in a form acceptable to Landlord. Any assignment, encumbrance or sublease without Landlords prior written consent shall be voidable, at Landlords election, and shall constitute a default hereunder (subject to applicable notice and cure periods as provided in Section 23.1(iii)). No consent to assignment, encumbrance, or sublease shall constitute a further waiver of the provisions of this section. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Tenants intent to sublease, encumber or assign this Lease and Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days of receipt of such written notice, elect one of the following:
(a) Consent to such proposed assignment, encumbrance or sublease;
(b) Refuse such consent, which refusal shall be on reasonable grounds; or
28
(c) In the case of an assignment, recapture the entire Premises and in the event of a sublease, recapture that portion or portions of the Premises which Tenant desires to sublease if (i) such portion or portions of the Premises, in the aggregate, exceeds 25,000 square feet, or (ii) the term of the sublease extends into the final nine (9) months of the Lease Term (including any extension options).
24.2 As a condition for granting its consent to any assignment, encumbrance or sublease, fifteen (15) days prior to any anticipated assignment or sublease Tenant shall give Landlord and Landlords lender written notice (the Assignment Notice), which shall set forth the name, address and business of the proposed assignee or sublessee, information (including references) concerning the character, ownership, and financial condition of the proposed assignee or sublessee, and the Assignment Date, any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the proposed assignee or sublessee, and the consideration of all other material terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease, all in such detail as Landlord shall reasonably require. If Landlord requests additional detail, the Assignment Notice shall not be deemed to have been received until Landlord receives such additional detail, and Landlord may withhold consent to any assignment or sublease until such additional detail is provided to it. Further, Landlord may require that the assignee remit directly to Landlord on a monthly basis, all monies due to Tenant by said assignee.
24.3 The consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not be construed as relieving Tenant or any assignee of this Lease or sublessee of the Premises from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting or as releasing Tenant or any assignee or sublessee of Tenant from any liability or obligation hereunder whether or not then accrued. In the event Landlord shall consent to an assignment or sublease, Tenant shall pay Landlord as Additional Rent all of Landlords attorneys fees and administrative costs incurred in connection with evaluating the Assignment Notice, not to exceed $3,000 per request for consent. This section shall be fully applicable to all further sales, hypothecations, transfers, assignments and subleases of any portion of the Premises by any successor or assignee of Tenant, or any sublessee of the Premises.
24.4 As used in this section, the subletting of substantially all of the Premises for substantially all of the remaining term of this Lease shall be deemed an assignment rather than a sublease. The assignment, sale or transfer of a twenty-five percent (25%) or greater interest in Tenant (a Corporate Transfer) shall be deemed an assignment requiring Landlords consent hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 24, (a) subject to clause (b) below with respect to a merger of Tenant into another entity, during such time when Tenant is a publicly traded company on a nationally recognized stock exchange (a Public Vehicle), the sale or transfer of Tenants stock on such exchange, or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of Tenants stock to another Public Vehicle shall not be deemed an assignment for purposes of this Article 24; (b) Tenant may, without Landlords prior consent, assign this Lease to any entity into which Tenant is merged, with which Tenant is consolidated or which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant (in each case, a Permitted Assignee), provided that (i) the details of such transaction are specified in the Assignment Notice, (ii) the assignee first executes, acknowledges and delivers to Landlord an agreement whereby the assignee agrees to be bound by all of the covenants and agreements in this Lease which Tenant has agreed to keep,
29
observe or perform, that the assignee agrees that the provisions of this section shall be binding upon it as if it were the original Tenant hereunder, and (iii) the assignee or the surviving entity, as applicable, shall have a net worth (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied) immediately after such assignment which is at least equal to the net worth (as so determined) of Tenant immediately before such assignment; and (c) Landlords consent shall not be required in the case of a sublease to an entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, and has common ownership of at least 50% with, Tenant (a Tenant Affiliate), provided that the form of such sublease is approved in advance by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
24.5 Landlords consent to any sublease or assignment shall not be unreasonably withheld. A condition to such consent shall be delivery by Tenant to Landlord of a true copy of the sublease or assignment in a form acceptable to Landlord. If for any proposed assignment or sublease Tenant receives rent or other consideration, either initially or over the term of the assignment or sublease, in excess of the Rent called for hereunder, or, in case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of such rent fairly allocable to such portion, after appropriate adjustments to assure that all other payments called for hereunder are taken into account, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder fifty percent (50%) of the excess of each such payment of rent or other consideration received by Tenant (Bonus Rent) promptly upon its receipt thereof after first deducting therefrom any consideration (in the case of a sublease, amortized over the term of the sublease) allocable to leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant in order to obtain the assignment or sublease. Additionally, , if, but only if, such portion of the rent or other consideration Tenant receives was paid by assignee or sublessee for any of the following, Tenant shall not be required to include in the calculation of the rent or other consideration Tenant receives, a reasonable amount to account for the following: (i) property removed by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, (ii) inventory, (iii) a non-competition covenant, (iv) trademark or license rights and (v) goodwill. The foregoing sharing will be inapplicable if Landlords consent is not required for such assignment under the terms hereof. Landlords waiver or consent to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant from any obligation under this lease. For the purpose of this Article, the Rent for each square foot of floor space in the Premises shall be deemed equal.
ARTICLE 25
SUBORDINATION; MORTGAGEE PROTECTION
25.1 Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all ground leases, master leases and the lien of all mortgages and deeds of trust which now or hereafter affect the Premises or the Project or Landlords interest therein, the CC&Rs (now existing or hereafter enacted in accordance with the terms hereof) and all amendments thereto, all without the necessity of Tenants executing further instruments to effect such subordination, so long as Landlord obtains a written agreement from the lender or underlying interest holder that provides that Tenant will not be disturbed in its peaceful enjoyment of the Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Lease so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlords request whatever documentation that may reasonably be required to further effect the provisions of this Article including, without limitation, a Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment
30
Agreement in such commercially reasonable form as may be required by Landlords lender. The form of Subordination, Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit H is deemed approved by Tenant and shall be executed and delivered by Tenant to Landlord concurrently upon execution and delivery of this Lease, and shall satisfy the requirement set forth above in this Section 25.1. Should any holder of a mortgage or deed of trust request that this Lease and Tenants rights hereunder be made superior, rather than subordinate, to the mortgage or deed of trust, then Tenant will, within ten (10) days after written request, execute and deliver such agreement as may be required by such holder in order to effectuate and evidence such superiority of the Lease to the mortgage or deed of trust.
25.2 Attornment. Tenant hereby agrees that Tenant will recognize as its landlord under this Lease and shall attorn to any person succeeding to the interest of Landlord in respect of the land and the buildings governed by this Lease upon any foreclosure of any mortgage upon such land or buildings or upon the execution of any deed in lieu of foreclosure in respect to such deed of trust. If requested, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming its attornment as provided for herein; provided, however, that no such beneficiary or successor- in-interest shall be bound by any payment of Base Rent for more than one (1) month in advance, or any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the express written consent of such beneficiary where such consent is required under applicable loan documents, and Tenant has been advised in writing of such requirements.
25.3 Mortgagee Protection. Tenant agrees to give Landlords lender or any holder of any mortgage or deed of trust secured by the Project, by registered or certified mail or nationally recognized overnight delivery service, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord by Tenant, provided that, prior to such notice, Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of assignment of rents and leases or otherwise) of the address of such lender or such holder of a mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant further agrees that Landlords lender or the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust shall have the right to cure or correct such default within the time Landlord is provided pursuant to this Lease, and Tenant shall accept any such cure effectuated by such parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Landlords lender or any holder of any mortgage or deed of trust have any obligation to cure any default of the Landlord.
ARTICLE 26
ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
(a) Each party, within twenty (20) days after notice from the other party, will execute and deliver to the other party, or such other addressee as the other party may designate, a statement certifying that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications, and certifying as to such other matters relating to the Lease and in such form as the party may reasonably request. Any such statement may be relied upon by any lender, purchaser, or other interested party.
31
(b) A partys failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive that:
(i) This Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by the requesting party,
(ii) There are no uncured defaults in the requesting partys performance,
(iii) Not more than one months rental has been paid in advance; and

ARTICLE 27
SIGNAGE
Landlord shall provide for Tenant the opportunity to have Tenants name at Tenants entrance to the building on the Premises on a sign, the size and location of which shall be subject to Landlords prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), which building sign shall be installed, maintained and removed at Tenants sole cost and expense. Landlord and Tenant shall also reasonably cooperate to obtain all required governmental approvals for a curbside monument sign (consistent in size and style with other monument signs within the Project) along Murphy Ranch Road, with Landlord being responsible for the cost of the installation of the monument and Tenant being responsible for the cost of its placard and/or graphics placed on the monument sign. Tenant shall have no other right to maintain a Tenant identification sign in any other location in, on or about the Premises or the Project without Landlords prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld). The size, design, color and other physical aspects of all Tenant identification signs shall be subject to Landlords written reasonable approval prior to installation. Except for Landlords obligation to provide the monument provided in this Article 27, the cost of the installation of all signs, and their maintenance and removal expense, shall be at Tenants sole expense. If Tenant fails to maintain its signs or if Tenant fails to remove its signs upon termination of this Lease, Landlord may do so at Tenants expense and Tenants reimbursement to Landlord for such amounts shall be deemed additional rent. All signs shall comply with rules and regulations set forth by City and by Landlord for the Project, as may be modified from time to time.
ARTICLE 28

ARTICLE 35
DEFINITION OF LANDLORD
The term Landlord, as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners, at the time in question, of the fee title of the Premises or the lessees under any ground lease, if any. In the event of any transfer, assignment or other conveyance or transfers of any such title, excluding a transfer for security purposes only, Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer, assignment or conveyance of all liability as respects the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed. Without further agreement, the transferee of such title shall be deemed to have assumed and agreed to observe and perform any and all obligations of Landlord hereunder, during its ownership of the Premises. Landlord may transfer its interest in the Premises without the consent of Tenant and such transfer or subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a violation on Landlords part of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease. If Landlord sells or otherwise transfers all of its interest in the Premises and less than all of its interest in the remaining portions of the Project, Landlords obligations to Tenant will continue with respect to the portion of the Common Area retained by Landlord, but Landlord will be relieved of its obligations to Tenant with respect to the portions of the Common Area transferred, and accruing after the consummation of the transfer, if the transferee has assumed such obligations, in writing, for the benefit of Tenant, or if the CC&Rs obligate such transferee to maintain the Common Area during the Term of this Lease.
ARTICLE 36
WAIVER
The waiver by either party of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition herein contained, nor shall any custom or practice which may grow up between the parties in the administration of the terms hereof be deemed a waiver of or in any way affect the right of either party to insist upon the performance by the other party in strict accordance with said terms. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant or any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlords knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.
34
ARTICLE 37
QUIET ENJOYMENT
So long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease, Tenant will have full, quiet, and peaceful possession of the Premises for Tenants use and enjoyment of the Premises and all rights granted in this Lease without interference or interruption, subject to casualty and condemnation, and other factors beyond Landlords control, including without limitation Force Majeure.
ARTICLE 38
PARKING
The use by Tenant, its employees and invitees, of the parking facilities of the Project shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in EXHIBIT E attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein and shall be subject to such other agreement between Landlord and Tenant as may hereinafter be established, and to such other reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may establish. Tenant, its employees and invitees shall use no more than, and Landlord shall provide no less than, a parking ratio of 3.2 non-exclusive, unreserved and unassigned parking spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet of leased space. Tenants use of the parking spaces shall be confined to the Project. If, in Landlords reasonable business judgment, it becomes necessary, Landlord shall exercise due diligence to cause the creation of cross-parking easements and such other agreements as are necessary to permit Tenant, its employees and invitees to use parking spaces on properties and buildings which are separate legal parcels from the Project. Tenant acknowledges that other tenants of the Project and the tenants of the other buildings, their employees and invitees, may be given the right to park at the Project.

ARTICLE 50
OPTION TO EXTEND
(a) Provided that no Event of Default exists (measured both as of the date of Tenants Extension Notice and the last day of the initial Lease Term), Tenant shall have one (1) option to extend (Renewal Option) the Lease Term for sixty (60) months commencing upon the expiration of the initial Lease Term (Extension Term), subject to the terms of this Article 50. In the event Tenant elects to exercise its option to extend the Lease Term by the Extension Term, as provided hereunder, Tenant shall provide Landlord with irrevocable written notice of its election (the Extension Notice), no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than nine (9) months prior to the expiration date of the initial Lease Term. Except for Base Rent, which shall be determined as set forth in this Article 50(b), the terms and conditions of this Lease during the Extension Term shall be identical to the terms and conditions of this Lease.
(b) Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be adjusted to the fair market rental value (FMV), as determined herein. In the event Tenant timely exercises the Renewal Option, Landlord shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt of Tenants notice exercising the Renewal Option, notify Tenant of Landlords good faith determination of the Base Rent for the Extension Term (the Landlords Option Rent Response). Tenant shall accept or reject Landlords Option Rent Response by notice to Landlord within ten (10) business days following receipt of Landlords Option Rent Response. If Tenant fails to object to Landlords Option Rent Response within such time period, then Landlords determination of FMV set forth in the Landlords Option Rent Response shall be conclusive and binding. If Tenant does not accept Landlords Option Rent Response, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the Base Rent for the Extension Term (Option Rent), using their good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on the Option Rent within thirty (30) days following Tenants receipt of Landlords Option Rent Response, then within five (5) business days after demand by either Landlord or Tenant, each party shall simultaneously present to the other and certify to each other such partys final offer regarding the Option Rent for the Extension Term (each, a Last Offer). If the parties fail to agree on the Option Rent within thirty (30) days following Tenants receipt of Landlords Option Rent Response, such Last Offers may be submitted to arbitration by Landlord and/or Tenant (the Arbitration Demand) in accordance with Article 50(b)(i) through (b)(viii), below and in accordance with the then existing Rules for Commercial Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association, or its successor.
(i) Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) arbitrator (each, an Original Arbitrator) who shall be a real estate broker with at least ten (10) years experience in the leasing of commercial office properties in Milpitas, California. Original Arbitrators shall be appointed within fifteen (15) business days after the Arbitration Demand.
38
(ii) The two Original Arbitrators so appointed shall within fifteen (15) business days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator (Neutral Arbitrator; and together with the Original Arbitrators, the Arbitration Panel). The Neutral Arbitrator shall be an appraiser certified as an MAI or ASA appraiser who has had at least five (5) years experience within the previous ten (10) years as a real estate appraiser of commercial office properties in Milpitas, California. For purposes hereof, an MAI appraiser means an individual who holds an MAI designation conferred by, and is an independent member of, the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or its successor organization, or in the event there is no successor organization, the organization and designation most similar), and an ASA appraiser means an individual who holds the Senior Member designation conferred by, and is an independent member of, the American Society of Appraisers (or its successor organization, or, in the event there is no successor organization, the organization and designation most similar).
(iii) The sole role of the Arbitration Panel shall be to determine the FMV for the Extension Term. In determining the FMV, the Arbitration Panel shall take into account what a willing, comparable, renewal, non-equity tenant would pay, and what a willing comparable landlord in the Milpitas area would accept at arms length, in either case, giving appropriate consideration to all economic benefits achievable by Landlord, such as monthly Base Rent (including periodic adjustments), Additional Rent in the form of Direct Expense reimbursements, and any and all monetary or non-monetary concessions including, without limitation, (x) a then-current base year and (y) any Renewal Concessions (as hereinafter defined), if any, that may be given in the market place to a comparable renewal tenant, for a similar use of comparable space for a comparable term in a comparable office building in a comparable location in the Milpitas area. As used herein, the term Renewal Concessions shall mean the following: (a) rental abatement concessions, if any, provided in connection with such comparable space; and (b) tenant improvements or allowances provided or to be provided for such comparable space, taking into account, and deducting the value of, the existing improvements in the Premises, such value to be based upon the age, quality and layout of the improvements and the extent to which the same can be utilized by Tenant based upon the fact that the precise tenant improvements existing in the Premises are specifically suitable to Tenant.
(iv) If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an Original Arbitrator within fifteen business (15) days after the other partys Arbitration Demand, then the first appointed Original Arbitrator shall select a Last Offer to serve as the Option Rent for the Extension Term using the same criteria applicable in case of a Neutral Arbitrator under Section 50(b)(iii) above.
(v) If the two (2) Original Arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a Neutral Arbitrator, or if both parties fail to appoint an Original Arbitrator, then the Neutral Arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association, or a successor entity.
(vi) The cost of an Original Arbitrator shall be borne by the appointing party. The cost of the Neutral Arbitrator and other customary costs payable to third parties shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.
39
(vii) In the event that the Option Rent has not been determined pursuant to the terms hereof prior to the commencement of the Extension Term, Tenant shall be required to pay the Option Rent at the lesser of Landlords Last Offer or one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent in effect at the end of the immediately preceding Renewal Term. Upon the final determination of the Option Rent, the payments made by Tenant shall be reconciled with the actual amounts of Option Rent due, and the appropriate party shall make any corresponding payment to the other party.
(c) In no event shall the Base Rent for the Extension Term be less than the Base Rent Tenant is scheduled to pay during the last month of the initial Lease Term. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, the Renewal Option granted herein is personal to the originally named Tenant and the Permitted Assignee (but not any other assignee, sublessee, or other transferee of Tenants interest in this Lease. The originally named Tenant or Permitted Assignee to which this Lease has been assigned may exercise the Renewal Option only if no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the space at the Premises is subleased or licensed at the time of such exercise to other than a Tenant Affiliate and the Lease has not been assigned to any assignee other than a Permitted Assignee. Neither Tenant nor a Permitted Assignee shall have the right to exercise the Renewal Option if such Tenant or Permitted Assignee is in default under this Lease as of the date of the attempted exercise of the Renewal Option or (at Landlords election) as of the scheduled commencement of the Extension Term.
ARTICLE 51
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Tenant shall not cause nor permit, nor allow any Tenant Party to cause or permit, any Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, stored, manufactured, generated, blended, handled, recycled, treated, disposed or used on, under or about the Premises, the Common Area or the Project, except for routine office and janitorial supplies in usual and customary quantities stored, used and disposed of in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant and Tenants Parties shall comply with all Environmental Laws and promptly notify Landlord in writing of the violation of any Environmental Law or presence of any Hazardous Materials, other than office and janitorial supplies as permitted above, on the Premises. Landlord shall have the right to enter upon and inspect the Premises and to conduct tests, monitoring and investigations. If such tests indicate the presence of any environmental condition caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of conducting such tests. Tenant will have no liability for compliance with laws relating to Hazardous Material or waste in, under, or about the Premises unless the presence of the Hazardous Material or waste was caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party, and as between Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall be responsible for such compliance as required by all Applicable Laws, except to the extent caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party. The phrase environmental condition shall mean any adverse condition relating to any Hazardous Materials or the environment, including surface water, groundwater, drinking water supply, land, surface or subsurface strata or the ambient air and includes air, land and water pollutants, noise, vibration, light and odors. In the event of any such environmental condition caused or exacerbated by Tenant or any Tenant Party, Tenant shall promptly take any and all steps necessary to rectify the same to the satisfaction of the applicable agencies and Landlord, or shall, at Landlords election, reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for the cost to
40
Landlord of performing rectifying work. The reimbursement shall be paid to Landlord in advance of Landlords performing such work, based upon Landlords reasonable estimate of the cost thereof; and upon completion of such work by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any shortfall within thirty (30) days after Landlord bills Tenant therefore or Landlord shall within thirty (30) days refund to Tenant any excess deposit, as the case may be. Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend (by counsel acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless Landlord and Landlords affiliated entities, and each of their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, lenders, agents, contractors, along with the successors and assigns of the foregoing, (individually and collectively, Indemnitees) from and against any and all claims, judgments, causes of action, damages, penalties, fines, taxes, costs, liabilities, losses and expenses arising at any time during or after the Term as a result (directly or indirectly) of or in connection with (a) Tenant and/or any Tenant Partys breach of this Article 51 or (b) the presence of Hazardous Materials on, under or about the Premises or other property as a result (directly or indirectly) of Tenants and/or any Tenant Partys activities in connection with the Premises. This indemnity shall include, without limitation, the cost of any required or necessary repair, cleanup or detoxification, and the preparation and implementation of any closure, monitoring or other required plans, whether such action is required or necessary prior to or following the termination of this Lease. Tenants obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
Landlord represents that David Hanan and Aric Shalev (the Representing Individuals) are individuals affiliated with Landlord with relevant knowledge of the physical condition and operations of the Premises and the Project. To the actual knowledge of the Representing Individuals, except as disclosed on that certain Environmental Review of Lucent Technologies, Inc. Campus Property, prepared by Environ International Corporation, dated as of May 3, 2002, and prepared for Westbrook Real Estate Fund IV, (a) no Hazardous Material is present on the Project or the soil, surface water or groundwater thereof in violation of laws, and (b) no action, proceeding or claim by any governmental agency is pending or threatened regarding the Project concerning any Hazardous Material or pursuant to any environmental law.
ARTICLE 52

It is expressly agreed that Landlord shall not be obliged to settle any strike to avoid a Force Majeure event from continuing.
ARTICLE 53
COUNTERPARTS
This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all such counterparts together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. The execution of facsimiles of this Lease shall be binding on the parties hereto.
41
ARTICLE 54
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
(a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a right of first offer to lease (the ROFO) with respect to certain of the rentable space within Buildings 3 and 4 of the Project (the ROFO Space); subject, however, to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 54.
(b) The ROFO shall begin only after the expiration or earlier termination of any leases existing as of the commencement date of this Lease covering any portion of the ROFO Space (collectively, the Superior Leases), including any renewal or extension of the Superior Leases (whether or not such renewal or extension is under an express written provision in a Superior Lease or consummated under a lease amendment or new lease). In addition, the ROFO shall be subordinate and secondary to all rights of expansion, rights of first refusal, rights of first offer, or similar or other rights granted to any tenants pursuant to other leases relating to space within the Project in existence as of the date of this Lease. The rights described in this subsection (b) are collectively referred to herein as the Superior Rights.
(c) Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice (a ROFO Notice) from time to time when Landlord determines that any ROFO Space will become available for lease to third parties, as long as no holder of a Superior Right desires to lease the space, as determined by Landlord. The ROFO Notice shall (i) describe the ROFO Space that will become available (the Specific ROFO Space); (ii) state Landlords determination of the Base Rent at which it would lease such space to Tenant for the balance of the Lease Term; and (iii) state Landlords estimated delivery date of the Specific ROFO Space.
(d) If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenants ROFO with respect to Specific ROFO Space, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after delivery of the ROFO Notice to Tenant, deliver to Landlord written notice of its irrevocable election to exercise its ROFO with respect to all of the Specific ROFO Space. Tenant must elect to exercise its ROFO, if at all, only with respect to all of the space offered by Landlord in any particular ROFO Notice, and Tenant may not elect to lease only a portion of that space. If Tenant does not exercise its ROFO within such ten (10) day period, the ROFO shall terminate for such Specific ROFO Space and Landlord shall be free to lease that space to anyone at any time during the Lease Term provided that the rental rate is no less than 90% of the rental rate proposed to Tenant in the ROFO Notice, without any obligation to provide Tenant with a further right to lease such space. If Landlord desires to lease such space at a rate less than 90% of the rental rate proposed to Tenant in the ROFO Notice, Landlord shall re-offer the ROFO Space to Tenant by delivery of a new ROFO Notice.
(e) If Tenant timely and validly exercises the ROFO, Landlord shall tender the Specific ROFO Space to Tenant as soon as reasonably possible (the Delivery Date). Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or otherwise be in default under this Lease if Landlord is unable to deliver the Specific ROFO Space to Tenant on the delivery date projected in the ROFO Notice.
42
(f) If Tenant timely and validly exercises the ROFO, then, beginning on the Delivery Date and continuing for the balance of the Lease Term (including any extensions):
(i) The Specific ROFO Space shall be part of the Premises under this Lease;
(ii) Monthly Base Rent will be adjusted to include the amounts attributable to the ROFO Space (as set forth in the ROFO Notice); and
(iii) Tenants Percentage shall be appropriately adjusted by Landlord to reflect the increased rentable square footage of the Premises.
Tenants lease of the Specific ROFO Space shall be on the same terms and conditions as affect the original Premises, except that Rent for such space shall be determined in accordance with this Article 54. Tenants obligation to pay Rent with respect to the Specific ROFO Space shall begin on the Delivery Date for such space. The Specific ROFO Space shall be leased to Tenant in its as-is condition, and Landlord shall not be required to construct any improvements in, or contribute any allowance for, the Specific ROFO Space, except as Landlord and Tenant may otherwise agree.
(g) If Tenant timely and validly exercises the ROFO, Landlord and Tenant shall, within ten (10) days following the Delivery Date, confirm in writing the addition of the Specific ROFO Space to the Premises on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 54, which written confirmation shall confirm: (i) the actual Delivery Date, (ii) the rentable square footage of the Premises with the addition of the Specific ROFO Space; (iii) Tenants Percentage with the addition of the Specific ROFO Space; and (iv) the monthly Base Rent with the addition of the Specific ROFO Space.
(h) The ROFO shall be personal to the originally named Tenant and the Permitted Assignee to which this Lease has been assigned (but not any other assignee, sublessee, or other transferee of Tenants interest in this Lease). The originally named Tenant or Permitted Assignee may exercise the ROFO only if no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the space at the Premises is subleased or licensed at the time of exercise of the ROFO to other than a Tenant Affiliate, and the Lease has not been assigned to any assignee other than a Permitted Assignee. Neither Tenant nor the Permitted Assignee shall not have the right to lease ROFO Space if Tenant or the Permitted Assignee is in default under this Lease as of the date of the attempted exercise of the ROFO by Tenant or the Permitted Assignee or (at Landlords election) as of the scheduled Delivery Date of the Specific ROFO Space to Tenant or Permitted Assignee, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligations of this Article 54 are personal to the originally named Landlord and its Controlled Affiliates (as hereinafter defined), and shall not be binding upon Landlords successors, assigns or transferees (other than an entity which is controlled by, controls or is under common control with Landlord (in each case, a Controlled Affiliate) which owns Buildings 3 or 4, as applicable), and shall terminate upon the sale or transfer by Landlord of Buildings 3 or 4 to any entity other than a Controlled Affiliate.
43
ARTICLE 55
MOVING ALLOWANCE
Landlord shall provide Tenant with a one-time allowance in an amount of up to $2.00 per rentable square foot of space within the Premises (the Moving Allowance). The Moving Allowance shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date. In no event shall Tenant be obligated to credit any unused portions of the Moving Allowance back to Landlord.
