If any such taxes on Tenant’s personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of the Premises is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant and if Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based on such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof, but only under proper process if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand, as the case may be, repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord, or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment; provided that in any such event Tenant shall have the right, in the name of Landlord and with Landlord’s full cooperation, to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the amount of any such taxes so paid under protest, and any amount so recovered shall belong to Tenant.
                    (b)      if the Tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed, and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which standard office improvements in other space in the Complex are assessed, then the real property taxes and assessments levied against Landlord or the Complex by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxes levied against personal property of Tenant and shall be governed by the provision of 12Ba, above. If the records of the County Assessor are available and sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for determining whether said Tenant improvements are assessed at a higher valuation than standard office improvements in other space in the Complex, such records shall be binding on both the Landlord and Tenant. If the records of the County Assessor are not available or sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for making said determination, the actual cost of construction shall be used.
13.      LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, agrees to keep in force during the term of this Lease a policy of commercial general liability insurance with a combined single limit coverage of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence for injuries to or death of persons occurring in, on or about the Premises or the Complex, and property damage. The policy or policies affecting such insurance, certificates of insurance of which shall be furnished to Landlord, shall name Landlord as additional insureds, and shall insure any liability of Landlord, contingent or otherwise, as respects acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees or invitees or otherwise by any conduct or transactions of any of said persons in or about or concerning the Premises, including any failure of Tenant to observe or perform any of its obligations hereunder, shall be issued by an insurance company admitted to transact business in the State of California; and shall provide that the insurance effected thereby shall not be canceled, except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord. If, during the term of this Lease, in the considered opinion of Landlord’s Lender, insurance advisor, or counsel, the amount of insurance described in this paragraph 13 is not adequate, Tenant agrees to increase

11


 

said coverage to such reasonable amount as Landlord’s Lender, insurance advisor, or counsel shall deem adequate.
14.      TENANT’S PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE AND WORKMAN’S COMPENSATION INSURANCE. Tenant shall maintain a policy or policies of fire and property damage insurance in “all risk” form with a sprinkler leakage endorsement insuring the personal property, inventory, trade fixtures, and leasehold improvements within the leased Premises for the full replacement value thereof. The proceeds from any such policies shall be used for the repair or replacement of such items so insured.
          Tenant shall also maintain a policy or policies of workman’s compensation insurance and any other employee benefit insurance sufficient to comply with all laws.
15.      PROPERTY INSURANCE. Landlord shall purchase and keep in force and as Additional Rent and in accordance with Paragraph 4D of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or Landlord’s agent if so directed by Landlord) Tenant’s proportionate share (calculated on a square footage or other equitable basis as calculated by Landlord) of the deductibles on insurance claims and the cost of policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Premises and Complex in the amount of the full replacement value thereof, providing protection against those perils included within the classification of “all risks” insurance and flood and/or earthquake insurance, if available, plus a policy of rental income insurance in the amount of one hundred (100%) percent of twelve (12) months Basic Rent, plus sums paid as Additional Rent. If such insurance cost is increased due to Tenant’s use of the Premises or the Complex, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the full cost of such increase. Tenant shall have no interest in nor any right to the proceeds of any insurance procured by Landlord for the Complex.
          Landlord and Tenant do each hereby respectively release the other, to the extent of insurance coverage of the releasing party, from any liability for loss or damage caused by fire or any of the extended coverage casualties included in the releasing party’s insurance policies, irrespective of the cause of such fire or casualty; provided, however, that if the insurance policy of either releasing party prohibits such waiver, then this waiver shall not take effect until consent to such waiver is obtained. If such waiver is so prohibited, the insured party affected shall promptly notify the other party hereof.
16.      INDEMNIFICATION. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for any injury to or death of any person or damage or destruction of property in or about the Premises or the Complex by or from any cause whatsoever, including, without limitation, gas, fire, oil, electricity or leakage of any character from the roof, walls, basement or other portion of the Premises or the Complex but excluding, however, the willful misconduct or negligence of Landlord, or agents, servants, employees, invitees, or contractors of which negligence Landlord has knowledge and reasonable time to correct. Except as to injury to persons or damage to property to the extent arising from the willful misconduct or the negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants, employees, invitees, or contractors. Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and defend Landlord against any and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection therewith, arising out of any injury to or death of any person or damage to or destruction of property occurring in, on or about the Premises, or any part thereof, from any cause whatsoever.

12


 

17.      COMPLIANCE. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements now or hereafter in effect; with the requirement of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted; and with any direction or occupancy certificate issued pursuant to law by any public officer, provided, however, that no such failure shall be deemed a breach of the provisions if Tenant, immediately upon notification, commences to remedy or rectify said failure. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any such law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation, requirement, direction or provision, shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant. This paragraph shall not be interpreted as requiring Tenant to make structural changes or improvements, except to the extent such changes or improvements are required as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with any and all requirements pertaining to said Premises, of any insurance organization or company, necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and public liability insurance covering the Premises.
18.      LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the Complex free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligation incurred by Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall not, within ten (10) days following the imposition of such lien, cause the same to be released of record, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but no obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien. All sums paid by Landlord for such purpose, and all expenses incurred by it in connection therewith, shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant on demand with interest at the prime rate of interest as quoted by the Bank of America.
19.      ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not assign, transfer, or hypothecate the leasehold estate under this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person or entity to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Landlord which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. As a condition for granting this consent to any assignment, transfer, or subletting, Landlord shall require Tenant to pay to Landlord, as additional Rent seventy five percent of all rents and/or additional consideration due Tenant from its assignees, transferees, or subtenants in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder for the assigned, transferred and/or subleased space; provided however, that before sharing such excess rent, Tenant shall first be entitled to recover from such excess rent the amount of any reasonable leasing commissions paid by Tenant to third parties not affiliated with Tenant. Tenant shall, by thirty (30) days written notice, advise Landlord of its intent to assign or transfer Tenant’s interest in the Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof for any part of the term hereof. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of said written notice, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises described in Tenant’s notice on the date specified in Tenant’s notice, except for Permitted Transfers, by giving written notice of such election to terminate. If no such notice to terminate is given to Tenant within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant may proceed to locate an acceptable sublessee, assignee, or other transferee for presentment to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, all in accordance with the terms, covenants, and conditions of this paragraph 19. If Tenant intends to sublet the entire Premises and Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, this

13


 

Lease shall be terminated on the date specified in Tenant’s notice. If, however, this Lease shall terminate pursuant to the foregoing with respect to less than all the Premises, the rent, as defined and reserved hereinabove shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis to the number of square feet retained by Tenant, and this Lease as so attended shall continue in full force and effect. In the event Tenant is allowed to assign, transfer or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, with the prior written consent of Landlord, no assignee, transferee or subtenant shall assign or transfer this Lease, either in whole or in part, or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, without also having obtained the prior written consent of Landlord. A Consent of Landlord to one assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder or be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent similar or dissimilar assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other person. Any such assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant and shall, at the option of Landlord exercised by written notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease. The leasehold estate under this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest therein, be assignable for any purpose by operation of law without the written consent of Landlord. As a condition to its consent, Landlord shall require Tenant to pay all expenses in connection with the assignment, and Landlord shall require Tenant’s assignee or transferee (or other assignees or transferees) to assume in writing all of the obligations under this Lease and for Tenant to remain liable to Landlord under the Lease.
          Notwithstanding the above, in no event will Landlord consent to a sub-sublease.
20.      SUBORDINATION AND MORTGAGES. In the event Landlord’s title or leasehold interest is now or hereafter encumbered by a deed of trust, upon the interest of Landlord in the land and buildings in which the demised Premises are located, to secure a loan from a lender (hereinafter referred to as “Lender”) to Landlord, Tenant shall, at the request of landlord or Lender, execute in writing an agreement subordinating its rights under this Lease to the lien of such deed of trust, or, if so requested, agreeing that the lien of Lender’s deed of trust shall be or remain subject and subordinate to the rights of Tenant under this Lease. Notwithstanding any such subordination, Tenant’s possession under this Lease shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default and so long as Tenant shall pay all rent and observe and perform all of the provisions set forth in this Lease.
21.      ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves, and shall at all reasonable times after at least 24 hours notice (except in emergencies) have the right to enter the Premises to inspect them; to perform and services to be provided by Landlord hereunder; to submit the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagers or tenants; to post notices of nonresponsibility; and to alter, improve or repair the Premises and any portion of the Complex, all without abatement of rent; and may erect scaffolding and other necessary structures in or through the Premises where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed; provided, however that the business of Tenant shall be interfered with to the least extent that is reasonably practical. For each of the foregoing purposes, any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof. Landlord shall also have the right at any time to change the arrangement of location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, and

14


 

corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the Complex and to change the name, number or designation by which Complex is commonly known, and none of the foregoing shall be deemed an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, or shall Tenant to any reduction of rent hereunder.
22.      BANKRUPTCY AND DEFAULT. The commencement of a bankruptcy action or liquidation action or reorganization action or insolvency action or an assignment of or by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or any similar action undertaken by Tenant, or the insolvency of Tenant, shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant. If the trustee or receiver appointed to serve during a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, insolvency or similar action elects to reject Tenant’s unexpired Lease, the trustee or receiver shall notify Landlord in writing of its election within thirty (30) days after an order for relief in a liquidation action or within thirty (30) days after the commencement of any action.
          Within thirty (30) days after court approval of the assumption of this lease, the trustee or receiver shall cure (or provide adequate assurance to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord that the trustee or receiver shall cure) any and all previous defaults under the unexpired Lease and shall compensate Landlord for all actual pecuniary loss and shall provide adequate assurances of future performance under said Lease to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Adequate assurance of future performance, as used herein, includes but shall not be limited to: (i) assurance of source and payment of rent, and other consideration due under this Lease; (ii) assurance that the assumption or assignment of this Lease will not breach substantially any provision, such as radius, location, use, or exclusivity provision, in any agreement relating to the above described Premises.
          Nothing contained in this section shall affect the existing right of Landlord to refuse to accept an assignment upon commencement of or in connection with a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization nor insolvency action or an assignment of Tenant for the benefit of creditors or other similar act. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as giving or granting or creating an equity in the demised Premises to Tenant. In no event shall the leasehold estate under this Lease, or any interest therein, be assigned by voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding without the prior written consent of Landlord. In no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings.
          The failure to perform or honor any covenant, condition or representation made under this Lease shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant upon expiration of the appropriate grace period hereinafter provided. Tenant shall have a period of five (5) days from the date of written notice from Landlord within which to cure any default in the payment of rental or adjustment thereto. Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of written notice from Landlord within which to cure any other default under this Lease. Upon an uncured default of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity.
                    (a)      The rights and remedies provided for by California Civil Code Section 1951.2 including but not limited to, recovery of 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

15


 

rental loss for the same period that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, as computed pursuant to subsection (b) of said Section 1951.2. Any proof by Tenant under subparagraphs (2) and (3) of Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code of the amount of rental loss that could be reasonably avoided shall be made in the following manner: Landlord and Tenant shall each select a licensed real estate broker in the business of renting property of the same type and use as the Premises and in the same geographic vicinity. Such two real estate brokers shall select a third licensed real estate broker, and the three licensed real estate brokers so selected shall determine the amount of rental loss that could be reasonably avoided from the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award. The decision of the majority of said licensed real estate brokers shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.
                    (b)      The rights and remedies provided by California Civil Code Section which allows Landlord to continue the Lease in effect and to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent as it becomes due, for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession; acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlord’s initiative to protect its interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession.
                    (c)      The right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant in accordance with applicable law.
                    (d)      To the extent permitted by law the right and power to enter the Premises and remove therefrom all persons and property, to store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant, and to sell such property and apply such proceeds therefrom pursuant to applicable California law. Landlord may from time to time sublet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may extend beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rent and such other terms as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. Upon each subletting, (i) Tenant shall be immediately liable to pay Landlord, in addition to indebtedness other than rent due hereunder, the cost of such subletting, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any real estate commissions actually paid, and the cost of such alterations and repairs incurred by Landlord and the amount, if any, by which the rent hereunder for the period of such subletting (to the extent such period does not exceed the term hereof) exceeds the amount to be paid as rent for the Premises for such period or (ii) at the option of Landlord, rents received from such subletting shall be applied first to payment of indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs of such subletting and of such alterations and repairs; third to payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same becomes due hereunder. If Tenant has been credited with any rent to be received by such subletting under option (i) and such rent shall not be promptly paid to Landlord by the subtenant(s), or if such rentals received from such subletting under option (ii) during any month be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. For all purposes set forth in this subparagraph d. No possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such subletting without termination, Landlord may at any time hereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

16


 

                    (e)      The right to have a receiver appointed for Tenant upon application by Landlord, to take possession of the Premises and to apply any rental collected from the Premises and to exercise all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to subparagraph d above.
23.      ABANDONMENT. Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time during the term of this Lease and if Tenant shall abandon, vacate or surrender said Premises, or be dispossessed by the process of law, or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Tenant and left on the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord, except such property as may be mortgaged to Landlord.
24.      DESTRUCTION. In the event the Premises are destroyed in whole or in part from any cause, except for routine maintenance and repairs and incidental damage and destruction caused from vandalism and accidents for which Tenant is responsible for under Paragraph 10, Landlord may, at its option:
                    (a)      Rebuild or restore the Premises to their condition prior to the damage or destruction, or
                    (b)      Terminate this Lease.
          If Landlord does not give Tenant notice in writing within thirty (30) days from the destruction of the Premises of its election to either rebuild and restore them, or to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected to rebuild or restore them, in which event Landlord agrees, at its expense, promptly to rebuild or restore the Premises to their condition prior to the damage or destruction. Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in rent while such repair is being made in the proportion that the area of the Premises rendered untenantable by such damage bears to the total area of the Premises. If Landlord initially estimates that the rebuilding or restoration will exceed 180 days or If Landlord does not complete the rebuilding or restoration within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of destruction (such period of time to be extended for delays caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or because of Acts of God, acts of public agencies, labor disputes, strikes, fires, freight embargoes, rainy or stormy weather, inability to obtain materials, supplies or fuels, acts of contractors or subcontractors, or delay of the contractors or subcontractors due to such causes or other contingencies beyond the control of Landlord), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord’s obligation to rebuild or restore shall be limited to the building and interior improvements constructed by Landlord as they existed as of the commencement date of the Lease and shall not include restoration of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise, or any improvements, alterations or additions made by Tenant to the Premises, which Tenant shall forthwith replace or fully repair at Tenant’s sole cost and expense provided this Lease is not cancelled according to the provisions above.
          Unless this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Tenant hereby expressly waives the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2 in Section 1933, Subdivision 4 of the California Civil Code.

17


 

          In the event that the building in which the Premises are situated is damaged or destroyed to the extent of not less than 331/3% of the replacement cost thereof, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, whether the Premises be insured or not. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord may terminate this Lease in the event of an uninsured event or if insurance proceeds are insufficient to cover 100% of the rebuilding costs net of the deductible.
25.      EMINENT DOMAIN. If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain or conveyance in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as to any portion of the Premises so taken or conveyed on the date when title vests in the condemnor, and Landlord shall be entitled to any and all payment, income, rent, award, or any interest therein whatsoever which may be paid or made in connection with such taking or conveyance, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or otherwise for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, any compensation specifically awarded Tenant for loss of business, Tenant’s personal property, moving cost or loss of goodwill, shall be and remain the property of Tenant.
          If (i) any action or proceeding is commenced for such taking of the Premises or any part thereof, or if Landlord is advised in writing by any entity or body having the right or power of condemnation of its intention to condemn the premises or any portion thereof, or (ii) any of the foregoing events occur with respect to the taking of any space in the Complex not lease hereby, or if any such spaces so taken or conveyed in lieu of such taking and Landlord shall decide to discontinue the use and operation of the Complex, or decide to demolish, alter or rebuild the Complex, then, in any of such events Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice thereof within sixty (60) days of the date of receipt of said written advice, or commencement of said action or proceeding, or taking conveyance, which termination shall take place as of the first to occur of the last day of the calendar month next following the month in which such notice is given or the date on which title to the Premises shall vest in the condemnor.
          In the event of such a partial taking or conveyance of the Premises, if the portion of the Premises taken or conveyed is so substantial that the Tenant can no longer reasonably conduct its business, Tenant shall have the privilege of terminating this Lease within sixty (60) days from the date of such taking or conveyance, upon written notice to Landlord of its intention to do so, and upon giving of such notice this Lease shall terminate on the last day of the calendar month next following the month in which such notice is given, upon payment by Tenant of the rent from the date of such taking or conveyance to the date of termination.
          If a portion of the Premises be taken by condemnation or conveyance in lieu thereof and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall terminate this Lease as provided herein, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as to the part of the Premises not so taken or conveyed, and the rent herein shall be apportioned as of the date of such taking or conveyance so that thereafter the rent to be paid by Tenant shall be in the ratio that the are of the portion of the Premises not so taken or conveyed bears to the total area of the Premises prior to such taking.
26.      SALE OR CONVEYANCE BY LANDLORD. In the event of a sale or conveyance of the Complex or any interest therein, by any owner of the reversion then constituting Landlord, the transferor shall thereby be released from any further liability upon any of the terms,

18


 

covenants or conditions (express or implied) herein contained in favor of Tenant, so long as the balance of the Security Deposit is also transferred, and in such event, insofar as such transfer is concerned, Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of such transferor in and to the Complex and this Lease. This Lease shall not be affected by any such sale or conveyance, and Tenant agrees to attorn to the successor in interest of such transferor.
27.      ATTORNMENT TO LENDER OR THIRD PARTY. In the event the interest of Landlord in the land and buildings in which the leased Premises are located (whether such interest of Landlord is a fee title interest or a leasehold interest) is encumbered by deed of trust, and such interest is acquired by the lender or any third party through judicial foreclosure or by exercise of a power of sale at private trustee’s foreclosure sale, Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to the purchaser at any such foreclosure sale and to recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease. In the event the lien of the deed of trust securing the loan from a Lender to Landlord is prior and paramount to the Lease, this Lease shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect for the remainder of the unexpired term hereof, at the same rental herein reserved and upon all the other terms, conditions and covenants herein contained.
28.      HOLDING OVER. Any holding over by Tenant after expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease with the written consent of Landlord delivered to Tenant shall not constitute a renewal or extension of the Lease or give Tenant any rights in or to the leased Premises except as expressly provided in this Lease. Any holding over after the expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease, with the consent of Landlord, shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month on the same terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable except that the monthly Basic Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the monthly Basic Rent required during the last month of the Lease term.
29.      CERTIFICATE OF ESTOPPEL. Tenant shall at any time upon not less than ten (10) business days’ prior written notice from Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults, if any, are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance, and that not more than one month’s rent has been paid in advance.
30.      CONSTRUCTION CHANGES. It is understood that the description of the Premises and the location of ductwork, plumbing and other facilities therein are subject to such minor changes as Landlord or Landlord’s architect determines to be desirable in the course of construction of the Premises, and no such changes, or any changes in plans for any other portions of the Complex shall affect this Lease or entitle Tenant to any reduction of rent hereunder or result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant. Landlord does not guarantee the accuracy of any drawings supplied to Tenant and verification of the accuracy of such drawings rests with Tenant.

19


 

31.      RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM. All terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant shall be performed or observed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any reduction of rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, or other rent, required to be paid by it hereunder and such failure shall continue for five (5) days after written notice by Landlord, or shall fail to perform any other term or covenant hereunder on its part to be performed, and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord, Landlord, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation of Tenant hereunder, may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such other term or covenant on Tenant’s part to be performed. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary costs of such performances by Landlord together with interest thereon at the rate of the prime rate of interest per annum as quoted by the Bank of America from the date of such payment or performance by Landlord, shall be paid (and Tenant covenants to make such payment) to Landlord on demand by Landlord, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of nonpayment by Tenant as in the case of failure by Tenant in the payment of rent hereunder.
32.      ATTORNEYS’ FEES.
          (A)      In the event that either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit for the possession of the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any provision of this Lease or for any other relief against the other party hereunder, then all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by the other party, which obligation on the party of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgement.
          (B)      Should Landlord be named as a defendant in any suit brought against Tenant in connection with or arising out of Tenant’s occupancy hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its costs and expenses incurred in such suit, including a reasonable attorney’s fee.
33.      WAIVER. The waiver by either party of the other party’s failure to perform or observe any term, covenant or condition herein contained to be performed or observed by such waiving party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition or of any subsequent failure of the party failing to perform or observe the same or any other such term, covenant or condition therein contained, and no custom or practice which may develop between the parties hereto during the term hereof shall be deemed a waiver of, or in way affect, the right of either party to insist upon performance and observance by the other party in strict accordance with the terms hereof.
34.      NOTICES. All notices, demands, requests, advices or designations which may be or are required to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing. All notices, demands, requests, advices or designations by Landlord to Tenant shall be sufficiently given, made or delivered if personally served on Tenant by leaving the same at the Premises or if sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Tenant at the Premises. All notices demands, requests, advices or designations by Tenant to Landlord shall be sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Landlord at its offices at 2560 Mission College Blvd., Suite 101, Santa Clara, CA 95054. Each notice, request,

20


 

demand, advice or designation referred to in this paragraph shall be deemed received on the date of the personal service or mailing thereof in the manner herein provided, as the case may be.

44. “AS-IS” BASIS: Subject only to Paragraph 45 and to Landlord making the improvements shown on Exhibit B to be attached hereto, it is hereby agreed that the Premises leased hereunder is leased strictly on an “as-is” basis and in its present condition, and in the configuration as shown on Exhibit B to be attached hereto, and by reference made a part hereof. Except as noted herein, it is specifically agreed between the parties that after Landlord makes the

25


 

interior improvements as shown on Exhibit B, Landlord shall not be required to make, nor be responsible for any cost, in connection with any repair, restoration, and/or improvement to the Premises in order for this Lease to commence, or thereafter, throughout the Term of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary within this Lease, Landlord makes no warranty or representation of any kind or nature whatsoever as to the condition or repair of the Premises, nor as to the use or occupancy which may be made thereof.
45. TENANT INTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS: Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, construct certain interior improvements (the “Tenant Improvements”) in the Premises, as shown on Exhibit B to be attached to the Lease and Landlord agrees to deliver the Premises leased hereunder to Tenant, at Landlord’s expense, in the configuration shown in Red on Exhibit B to be attached hereto and in good workmanlike condition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, it is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord shall be required to furnish only a standard air conditioning/heating system, normal electrical outlets, standard fire sprinkler systems, standard bathroom, standard lobby, 2’ x 4’ suspended acoustical tile drop ceiling throughout the entire space leased, carpeting and/or vinyl-coated floor tile, and standard office partitions and doors, as shown on Exhibit B to be attached hereto; provided however, that any special HVAC and/or plumbing and/or electrical requirements over and above that normally supplied by Landlord shall be 100 percent the responsibility of and be paid for 100 percent by Tenant.
     It is further agreed that Tenant shall furnish Landlord with Tenant’s required specifications and a preliminary space plan showing the layout of the improvements to be constructed in the Premises by July 22, 1999. At that time, Landlord shall have the final interior plans drawn by Landlord’s architect. All of the plans and specifications shall be Exhibit B to this Lease. If said preliminary plans and specifications for any items affecting the interior improvements to be constructed in the building are not received by Landlord for Landlord’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) by July 22, 1999, then it is agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, this Lease and Tenant’s obligation to perform all terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall commence , regardless of whether or not the building and interior improvements are completed on August 1, 1999, and Landlord shall complete construction of the interior improvements as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.
     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it is agreed that in the event Tenant makes changes, additions, or modifications to the plans and specifications to be constructed by Landlord as set forth herein, or improvements are installed for Tenant in excess of those to be provided Tenant by Landlord as set forth on Exhibit B, any increased cost(s) resulting from said changes, additions, and/or modifications and/or improvements in excess of those to be provided Tenant shall be contracted for with Landlord and paid for one hundred percent (100%) by Tenant.
     The interior shall be constructed in accordance with Exhibit B of the Lease, it being agreed, however, that if the interior improvements constructed by Landlord relating thereto, do not conform exactly to the plans and specifications as set forth in the Lease, and the general appearance, structural integrity, and Tenant’s uses and occupancy of the Premises and interior improvements relating thereto are not materially or unreasonably affected by such deviation, it is

26


 

agreed that the commencement date of the Lease, and Tenant’s obligation to pay rental, shall not be affected, and Tenant hereby agrees, in such event, to accept the Premises and interior improvements as constructed by Landlord.
     Tenant shall have thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date to provide Landlord with a “punch list” pertaining to Landlord’s work with respect to Tenant’s interior improvements. As soon as reasonably possible thereafter, Landlord, or one of Landlord’s representatives (if so approved by Landlord), and Tenant shall conduct a joint walk-through of the Premises (if Landlord so requires), and inspect such Tenant Improvements, using their best efforts to agree on the incomplete or defective construction related to the Tenant Improvements installed by Landlord. After such inspection has been completed, Landlord shall prepare, and both parties shall sign, a list of all “punch list” items which the parties reasonably agree are to be corrected by Landlord (but which shall exclude any damage or defects caused by Tenant, its employees, agents or parties Tenant has contracted with to work on the Premises). Landlord shall have thirty (30) days thereafter (or longer if necessary, provided Landlord is diligently pursuing the completion of the same) to complete, at Landlord’s expense, the repairs on the “punch list” without the Commencement Date of the Lease and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rental thereunder being affected. This Paragraph shall be of no force and effect if Tenant shall fail to give any such notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date of this Lease.
46. CONSENT: Whenever the consent of one party to the other is required hereunder, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
47. CHOICE OF LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Lease shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. If any provisions of this Lease shall be invalid, unenforceable, or ineffective for any reason whatsoever, all other provisions hereof shall be and remain in full force and effect.
48. AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE. The parties executing this Lease Agreement hereby warrant and represent that they are properly authorized to execute this Lease Agreement and bind the parties on behalf of whom they execute this Lease Agreement and to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease Agreement as they relate to the respective parties hereto.
49. ASSESSMENT CREDITS: The demised property herein may be subject to a special assessment levied by the City of Redwood City as part of an Improvement District. As a part of said special assessment proceedings (if any), additional bonds were or may be sold and assessments were or may be levied to provide for construction contingencies and reserve funds. Interest shall be earned on such funds created for contingencies and on reserve funds which will be credited for the benefit of said assessment district. To the extent surpluses are created in said district through unused contingency funds, interest earnings or reserve funds, such surpluses shall be deemed the property of Landlord. Notwithstanding that such surpluses may be credited on assessments otherwise due against the Leased Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent if, and at the time of any such credit of surpluses, an amount equal to all such surpluses so credited. For example: if (i) the property is subject to an annual assessment of $1,000.00, and (ii) a surplus of $200.00 is credited towards the current year’s assessment which reduces the assessment amount shown on the property tax bill from $1,000.00 to $800.00, Tenant

27


 

shall, upon receipt of notice from Landlord, pay to Landlord said $200.00 credit as Additional Rent.
50. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING (CONTINUED):
     A. Landlord hereby acknowledges that, during the first thirty six months of the Lease Term, Tenant may desire to sublease a portion of the Leased Premises. Provided Tenant is not in default of this Lease, and subject to Paragraph 49C below, Landlord agrees that it will not exercise its right, as provided for in Paragraph 19, to terminate the Lease as a result of a request(s) by Tenant to sublease less than a total of fifty percent (50%) of the Premises to one or more subtenants for a sublease term(s) not to extend beyond July 31, 2002. In such event, Landlord agrees to issue Landlord’s standard consent to said sublease, subject to (a) Tenant submitting to Landlord a copy of said sublease (prior to said sublease commencing), (b) Landlord, Tenant and Subtenant thereafter executing Landlord’s standard Consent to Sublease agreement and (c) Landlord receives payment from Tenant of Landlords costs for processing said Sublease Consent prior to said sublease commencing.
     B. Permitted Transfers: In addition to and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 19 of this Lease, Landlord hereby agrees to consent to Tenant’s assigning or subletting said Lease to: (i) any parent or subsidiary corporation, affiliate, or corporation with which Tenant merges or consolidates, provided that the net worth of said parent or subsidiary corporation, affiliate, or said corporation has a net worth equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant (a) at the time of Lease execution or (b) at the time of such assignment, merger, or consolidation (whichever is greater); or (ii) any third party or entity to whom Tenant sells all or substantially all of its assets; provided, that the net worth of the resulting or acquiring corporation has a net worth after the merger, consolidation or acquisition equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant (a) at the time of Lease execution or (b) at the time of such merger, consolidation or acquisition (whichever is greater) (collectively “Permitted Transfers”). No such Permitted Transfer will release the Tenant from its liability and responsibility under this Lease to the extent Tenant continues in existence following such transaction. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be required to (a) give Landlord written notice prior to such assignment or subletting to any party as described in (i) and (ii) above, (b) execute Landlord’s consent document prepared by Landlord reflecting the assignment or subletting and (c) pay Landlord’s costs for processing said Consent prior to the effective date of said assignment or sublease.
     C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to refuse to consent to a proposed assignment, sublease or other transfer (“Proposed Transfer”) if the Premises or ant other portion of the Property would become subject to additional or different Government Requirements as a direct or indirect consequence of the Proposed Transfer and/or the Proposed Transferee’s use and occupancy of the Premises and the Property. However, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, consent to such a Proposed Transfer where Landlord is indemnified by Tenant and (i) Subtenant or (ii) Assignee, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord’s counsel, by Tenant and/or the Proposed Transferee from and against any and all costs, expenses, obligations and liability arising out of the Proposed Transfer and/or the Proposed Transferee’s use and occupancy of the Premises and the Property.

28


 

     D. Any and all sublease agreement(s) between Tenant and any and all subtenant(s) (which agreements must be consented to by Landlord, pursuant to the requirements of this Lease) shall contain the following language:
     “If Landlord and Tenant jointly and voluntarily elect, for any reason whatsoever, to terminate the Master Lease prior to the scheduled Master Lease termination date, then this Sublease (if then still in effect) shall terminate concurrently with the termination of the Master Lease. Subtenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that (1) the voluntary termination of the Master Lease by Landlord and Tenant and the resulting termination of this Sublease shall not give Subtenant any right or power to make any legal or equitable claim against Landlord, including without limitation any claim for interference with contract or interference with prospective economic advantage, and (2) Subtenant hereby waives any and all rights it may have under law or at equity against Landlord to challenge such an early termination of the Sublease, and unconditionally releases and relieves Landlord, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, from any and all claims, demands, and/or causes of action whatsoever (collectively, “Claims”), whether such matters are known or unknown, latent or apparent, suspected or unsuspected, foreseeable or unforeseeable, which Subtenant may have arising out of or in connection with any such early termination of this Sublease. Subtenant knowingly and intentionally waives any and all protection which is or may be given by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with debtor.
     The term of this Sublease is therefore subject to early termination. Subtenant’s initials here below evidence (a) Subtenant’s consideration of and agreement to this early termination provision, (b) Subtenant’s acknowledgment that, in determining the net benefits to be derived by Subtenant under the terms of this Sublease, Subtenant has anticipated the potential for early termination, and (c) Subtenant’s agreement to the general waiver and release of Claims above.

51. BANKRUPTCY AND DEFAULT: Paragraph 22 is modified to provide that with respect to non-monetary defaults not involving Tenant’s failure to pay Basic Rent or Additional Rent, Tenant shall not be in default of any non-monetary obligation if (i) more than thirty (30) days is required to cure such non-monetary default, and (ii) Tenant commences cure of such default as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving written notice of such default from Landlord and thereafter continuously and with due diligence prosecutes such cure to completion.
52. ABANDONMENT: Paragraph 23 is modified to provide that Tenant shall not be in default under the Lease if it leaves all or any part of Premises vacant so long as (i) Tenant is performing all of its other obligations under the Lease including the obligation to pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent (ii) Tenant provides on-site security during normal business hours for those parts of the Premises left vacant, (iii) such vacancy does not materially and adversely affect the validity or coverage of any policy of insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Premises, and (iv) the utilities and heating and ventilation system are operated and maintained to the extent necessary to prevent damage to the Premises or its systems.

53. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Landlord and Tenant agree as follows with respect to the existence or use of “Hazardous Materials” (as defined herein) on, in, under or about the Premises and real property located beneath said Premises and the common areas of the Complex (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Property”):

     B. Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s discretion, prior to the occurrence of any Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities (defined below); provided, however, that Landlord’s consent shall not be required for normal use in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws of customary household and office supplies (Tenant shall first provide Landlord with a list of said materials use), such as mild cleaners, lubricants and copier toner. As used herein, the term “Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities” shall mean any and all use, handling, generation, storage, disposal, treatment, transportation, release, discharge, or emission of any Hazardous Materials on, in, beneath, to, from, at or about the Property, in connection with Tenant’s use of the Property, or by Tenant or by any of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, vendors, invitees, visitors or its future subtenants or assignees. Tenant agrees that any and all Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities shall be conducted in strict, full compliance with applicable Environmental Laws at Tenant’s expense, and shall not result in any contamination of the Property or the environment. Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with prompt written notice of any spill or release of Hazardous Materials at the Property during the term of the Lease of which Tenant becomes aware, and further agrees to provide Landlord with prompt written notice of any violation of Environmental Laws in connection with Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities of which Tenant becomes aware.

Tenant, at its expense, shall submit to Landlord a report from such

30


 

environmental consultant which discusses the environmental consultant’s findings within two (2) months of each Anniversary Date. Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly undertake and complete any and all steps necessary, and in full compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, to fully correct any and all problems or deficiencies identified by the environmental consultant, and promptly provide Landlord with documentation of all such corrections.
     C. Prior to termination or expiration of the Lease, Tenant, at its expense, shall (i) properly remove from the Property all Hazardous Materials which come to be located at the Property in connection with Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities, and (ii) fully comply with and complete all facility closure requirements of applicable Environmental Laws regarding Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities, including but not limited to (x) properly restoring and repairing the Property to the extent damaged by such closure activities, and (y) obtaining from the local Fire Department or other appropriate governmental authority with jurisdiction a written concurrence that closure has been completed in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws.

Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for the costs of such an investigation, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees Landlord incurs with respect to such investigation, that discloses Hazardous Materials contamination for which Tenant is liable under this Lease. Except as may be required of Tenant by applicable Environmental Laws, Tenant shall not perform any sampling, testing, or drilling to identify the presence of any Hazardous Materials at the Property, without Landlord’s prior written consent which may be withheld in Landlord’s discretion. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with copies of any claims, notices, work plans, data and reports prepared, received or submitted in connection with any sampling, testing or drilling performed pursuant to the preceding sentence.
     E. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel acceptable to Landlord, whose consent shall not unreasonably be withheld) and hold harmless Landlord, its employees, assigns, successors, successors-in-interest, agents and representatives from and against any and all claims (including but not limited to third party claims from a private party or a government authority), liabilities, obligations, losses, causes of action, demands, governmental proceedings or directives, fines, penalties, expenses, costs (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and other experts’ fees and costs), and damages, which arise from or relate to: (i) Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities; (ii) any Hazardous Materials contamination caused by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date of the Lease; or (iii) the breach of any obligation of Tenant under this Paragraph 53 (collectively, “Tenant’s Environmental Indemnification”). Tenant’s Environmental Indemnification shall include but is not limited to the obligation to promptly and fully reimburse Landlord for losses in or reductions to rental income, and diminution in fair market value of the Property. Tenant’s Environmental Indemnification shall further include but is not limited to the obligation to diligently and properly implement to completion, at Tenant’s expense, any and all environmental investigation, removal, remediation,

AGREEMENT
     NOW THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the hereinafter mutual promises, the parties hereto do agree as follows:
     1. INCREASED PREMISES: Effective June 1, 2005 (the “Effective Date”), the size of the Leased Premises will be increased by 25,643+ square feet (the “Increased Premises”), or from 22,741+ square feet to 48,384+ square feet of space (one hundred percent (100%) of the Building and hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”). Total said Premises are more particularly shown within the area outlined in Red on Exhibit A. The entire parcel, of which the Premises is a part, is shown within the area outlined in Green on Exhibit A. Except as hereinafter provided in Paragraph 1.A (“Tenant Improvements to be made by Landlord”) and Paragraph 1.B (“Punch List”), the Increased Premises is leased on an “as-is” basis, in its present condition and configuration, as set forth in Blue on Exhibit B attached hereto, with the entire interior Premises shown in Red on Exhibit B.
     A. Tenant Improvements to be made by Landlord: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, Landlord has agreed to complete, at Landlord’s cost and expense, the tenant improvements specifically listed below (“Tenant Improvements”), and Landlord shall not be responsible for providing any additional interior improvements:
  1)   Remove the walls and related doors as shown in Pink dashed lines on Exhibit B

      attached hereto;
 
  2)   Landlord shall provide one (1) 4-port voice and data outlet (two (2) voice and two (2) data outlet) to a maximum of one hundred (100) office cubicles to be installed within the Increased Premises by Tenant;
 
  3)   Landlord shall have the electrical system within the Increased Premises inspected and any necessary repairs completed (including the replacement of any broken or non-functioning lights and ballasts);
 
  4)   Landlord shall have the HVAC system within the Increased Premises inspected and any necessary repairs completed;
 
  5)   Landlord shall have the roof membrane for the Building inspected and any necessary repairs completed; and
 
  6)   Landlord shall have the plumbing system within the Increased Premises inspected and any necessary repairs completed.
     The Tenant Improvements referenced above shall become a part of the Premises upon installation and Tenant shall not be required or allowed to remove said Tenant Improvements upon Lease Termination.
     Landlord shall commence the installation and diligently pursue the completion of the Tenant Improvements on the first business day following Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of the executed Amendment No. 4; however, the Effective Date of the Increased Premises shall not be amended in the event Landlord has not completed said Tenant Improvements by the Effective Date so long as Landlord has commenced work on the Tenant Improvements in a timely manner required above. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to Tenant’s business during the installation of the Tenant Improvements; however, Tenant understands that said Tenant Improvements shall be installed during normal business hours, and Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord’s contractors to insure that the Tenant Improvements are completed in an expeditious manner, including providing Landlord’s contractors with access to the Premises by 7:00 a.m. on weekdays.
     B. Punch List: In addition to and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 1.A above, Tenant shall have thirty (30) days after the Effective Date to provide Landlord with a written “punch list” pertaining to defects in the Tenant Improvements completed by Landlord for Tenant as referenced in Paragraph 1.A above. As soon as reasonably possible thereafter, Landlord (or one of Landlord’s representatives if so approved by Landlord), and Tenant shall conduct a joint walk-through of the Increased Premises (if Landlord so requires), and inspect such Tenant Improvements, using their best efforts to agree on the incomplete or defective installation related to the Tenant Improvements installed for Tenant by Landlord. After such inspection has been completed, Landlord shall prepare, and both parties shall sign, a list of all “punch list” items which the parties reasonably agree are (i) to be corrected by Landlord (but which shall exclude any damage or defects caused by Tenant, its employees, agents or parties Tenant has contracted with to work on the Premises) or (ii) if said defects and/or damaged item(s) are not material, Landlord may reasonably elect with Tenant’s reasonable concurrence, not to repair such item(s), but to acknowledge in written form the defect and/or damaged item(s); in which case, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in said Lease Paragraph 5 (“Acceptance and Surrender of Premises”), Tenant shall not be responsible upon Lease Termination to repair said item(s) so noted by

Landlord. Landlord shall have thirty (30) days thereafter (or longer if necessary, provided Landlord is diligently pursuing the completion of the same) to complete, at Landlord’s expense, the “punch list” items without the Effective Date and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent as provided herein being affected. Landlord’s obligations under this Paragraph shall be of no force and effect if Tenant shall fail to give any such notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date.
     C. Early Entry: Upon receipt of written notice from Landlord (by U.S. Mail, facsimile or electronic mail) that the Increased Premises is available for Tenant’s entry, Tenant and its agents and contractors shall be permitted to enter the Increased Premises (as shown in Blue on Exhibit B) prior to the Effective Date for the purpose of installing at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Tenant’s trade fixtures and equipment, telephone equipment, security systems and cabling for computers. Such entry shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, except that Tenant shall not be required to pay any Rent on the Increased Premises, provided none of Tenant’s operating personnel occupy said Increased Premises. Any entry or installation work by Tenant and its agents in the Increased Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 1.C shall (i) be undertaken at Tenant’s sole risk, (ii) not interfere with or delay Landlord’s work in the Increased Premises (if any), and (iii) not be deemed occupancy or possession of the Increased Premises for purposes of this Amendment. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from any and all loss, damage, liability, expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees), claim or demand of whatsoever character, direct or consequential, including, but without limiting thereby the generality of the foregoing, injury to or death of persons and damage to or loss of property arising out of the exercise by Tenant of any early entry right granted hereunder. In the event Tenant’s work in said Increased Premises delays the completion of the Tenant Improvements to be provided by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 1.A (“Increased Premises: Tenant Improvements to be made by Landlord”), or in the event Tenant has not completed construction of its interior improvements, if any, by the Effective Date, it is agreed between the parties that the Effective Date is not subject to change. It is the intent of the parties hereto that Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent on the Increased Premises shall commence on the Effective Date.
     2. TERM OF LEASE: It is agreed between the parties that the Term of the Lease shall be extended for an additional nine (9) month period (the “Extended Term”), and the Lease Termination Date shall be changed from August 31, 2009 to May 31, 2010.
     3. RENT: Effective June 1, 2005, the Gross Rent rate shall no longer be applicable; therefore, Lease Paragraph 4 (“Rent”) as amended by Paragraph 2 (“Rent”) of Amendment No. 3 is amended as follows:

As a pre-condition to Landlord granting its consent to any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver plans and specifications for Landlord’s review and approval, and within five business days of completion of said Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an original 1/8” scaled sepia or an other electronic format as solely determined by Landlord.

All heating, lighting, electrical, air conditioning, security systems, floor to ceiling partitioning, drapery, carpeting, and floor installations made by Tenant, together with all property that has become an integral part of the Premises, shall not be deemed trade fixtures. Tenant agrees that it will not proceed to make such Alterations, without having obtained consent from Landlord to do so, and until five (5) business days from the receipt of such consent, in order that Landlord may post appropriate notices to avoid any liability to contractors or material suppliers for payment for Tenant’s Alterations. Tenant will at all times permit such notices to be posted and to remain posted until the completion of work. As a condition of Landlord’s Consent to Alterations to the Premises, after Landlord provides written Consent to Alterations and prior to any work commencing on the Alterations, Landlord may, at its sole and absolute discretion, require Tenant to secure and provide to Landlord at Tenant’s own cost and expense, a completion and lien indemnity letters of credit, satisfactory to Landlord in the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the cost to fund the original construction of any Alterations (“Letter of Credit A”) and, if Landlord does not agree in the Consent to Alterations that said Alterations are to remain at the end of the Lease Term, an additional letter of credit in the amount of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the cost to fund the subsequent cost of the removal of said Alterations and the restoration of the Premises at the Termination Date (“Letter of Credit B”). Said performance Letters of Credit shall be kept in place as follows: for Letter of Credit A, for sixty (60) days after the completion of the original construction of said Alterations; and for Letter of Credit B, the later of (a) sixty (60) days after the Termination Date or (b) sixty (60) days after the completion of the restoration work and Tenant has provided Landlord with proof of payment to respective vendors and copies of recorded full unconditional lien release related to the Alterations and/or restoration work. Tenant further covenants and agrees that any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant, will be discharged by Tenant, by bond or otherwise, within ten (10) days after notice of filing thereof, at the cost and expense of Tenant. As a further condition to its Consent to Alterations to the Premises, Landlord shall require Tenant to pay all expenses in connection with any and all requests for alterations and additions and Landlord’s Consent to Alterations related thereto, including but not limited to Landlord’s costs, fees and expenses for the processing and administration of the consent documentation and Landlord’s attorneys’ fees (if any). Any exceptions to the foregoing must be made in writing and executed by both Landlord and Tenant.

In the event any of the above maintenance responsibilities apply to any other tenant(s) of Landlord where there is common usage with other tenant(s), such maintenance responsibilities and charges shall be allocated to the Premises by square footage or other equitable basis as calculated and determined by Landlord.”

     “Additional Rent” as used herein shall not include Landlord’s debt repayments, interest on charges; expenses directly or indirectly incurred by Landlord for the benefit of any other tenant; cost for the installation of partitioning or any other tenant improvements; cost of attracting tenants; depreciation; interest, or executive salaries.

          Landlord shall not be liable for and Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of Rent by reason of any interruption or failure of utility services to the Premises when such interruption or failure is caused by (i) Tenant’s failure (a) to transfer said utilities into its name and/or (b) to pay the respective utility bills by the respective due dates and/or (ii) accident, breakage, repair, strikes, lockouts, or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any nature, or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar, beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.”
     10. TAXES: Effective June 1, 2005, Lease Paragraph 12 (“Taxes”) and Paragraph 5 (“Taxes”) of Amendment No. 3 shall be deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
               “12. TAXES.
     A. Real Property Taxes. As Additional Rent and in accordance with Paragraph 4D of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, monthly in advance or as they become due pursuant to statements submitted by Landlord, Tenant’s proportionate share (which proportionate share shall be allocated to the Premises by square footage or other equitable basis, as calculated by Landlord) of all Real Property Taxes relating to the Premises accruing with respect to the Premises during the Term of this Lease and the Extended Term (if any). The term “Real Property Taxes” shall also include supplemental taxes related to the period of Tenant’s Term whenever levied, including such taxes that may be levied after the Term has expired. The term “Real Property Taxes”, as used herein, shall mean (i) all taxes, assessments, levies and other charges of any kind or nature whatsoever, general and special, foreseen and unforeseen (including all installments of principal and interest required to pay any general or special assessments for public

improvements and any increases resulting from reassessments caused by any change in ownership of the Premises; however, for the period from June 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006 (Cap Period), Landlord agrees to limit Tenant’s Proportionate Share of increase in Real Property Taxes resulting from change of ownership in the Premises to no more than $0.05 per square foot per month) now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or special district having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed against, or with respect to the value, occupancy or use of, all or any portion of the Complex (as now constructed or as may at any time hereafter be constructed, altered, or otherwise changed) or Landlord’s interest therein; any improvements located within the Complex (regardless of ownership); the fixtures, equipment and other property of Landlord, real or personal, that are an integral part of and located in the Complex; or parking areas, public utilities, or energy within the Complex; (ii) all charges, levies or fees imposed by reason of environmental regulation or other governmental control of the Complex and (iii) all costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in reasonably contesting any Real Property Tax and in negotiating with public authorities as to any Real Property Tax. If at any time during the Term of this Lease the taxation or assessment of the Complex prevailing as of the Commencement Date of this Lease shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any Real Property Tax described above there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (whether by reason of a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other cause) an alternate or additional tax or charge (i) on the value, use or occupancy of the Complex or Landlord’s interest therein or (ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income or rentals from the Complex, on Landlord’s business of leasing the Complex, or computed in any manner with respect to the operation of the Complex, then any such tax or charge, however designated, shall be included within the meaning of the term “Real Property Taxes” for purposes of this Lease. If any Real Property Tax is based upon property or rents unrelated to the Complex, then only that part of such Real Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the Complex shall be included within the meaning of the term “Real Property Taxes.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Real Property Taxes” shall not include estate, inheritance, gift or franchise taxes of Landlord or the federal or state net income tax imposed on Landlord’s income from all sources.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above , it is agreed that if any special assessments for capital improvements are assessed, and if Landlord has the option to either pay the entire assessment in cash or go to bond, and if Landlord elects to pay the entire assessment in cash in lieu of going to bond, the entire portion of the assessment assigned to Tenant’s Leased Premises will be prorated over the same period that the assessment would have been prorated had the assessment gone to bond (including interest) and Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share over the Term remaining in the Lease (including the Extended Lease Term if said Lease Term is extended for any reason whatsoever) as Additional Rent on the first day of the remaining months in the Lease Term (as may be extended).
          B. Taxes on Tenant’s Property.
     (a) Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay ten days before delinquency, taxes levied against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the Premises. If any such taxes on Tenant’s personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord’s property or if the assessed value of the Premises is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon such personal property or trade fixtures of Tenant and if Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based on such increased assessment, which Landlord shall have the right to do regardless of the validity thereof,

but only under proper protest if requested by Tenant, Tenant shall upon demand, as the case may be, repay to Landlord the taxes so levied against Landlord, or the proportion of such taxes resulting from such increase in the assessment; provided that in any such event Tenant shall have the right, in the name of Landlord and with Landlord’s full cooperation, to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the amount of such taxes so paid under protest, and any amount so recovered shall belong to Tenant.
     (b) If the Tenant improvements in the Premises, whether installed, and/or paid for by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which standard office improvements in other space in the Complex are assessed, then the real property taxes and assessments levied against the Landlord or the Complex by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall be deemed to be taxies levied against personal property of the Tenant and shall be governed by the provisions of 13B(a) above. If the records of the County Assessor are available and sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for determining whether said Tenant improvements are assessed at a higher valuation than standard office space improvements in other space in the Complex, such records shall be binding on both the Landlord and the Tenant. If the records of the County Assessor are not available or sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for making said determination, the actual cost of construction shall be used.”
     11. LIABILITY INSURANCE: Effective June 1, 2005, Lease Paragraph 13 (“Liability Insurance”) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
          “13. LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, agrees to keep in force during the Term of this Lease a policy of commercial general liability insurance with combined single limit coverage of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence for injuries to or death of persons occurring in, on, or about the Premises or the Complex and property damage. Such insurance shall be primary and noncontributory as respects any insurance carried by Landlord. The policy or policies affecting such insurance, certificates of insurance of which shall be furnished to Landlord, shall name Landlord, Richard T. Peery, as Trustee of the Richard T. Peery Separate Property Trust dated July 20, 1977, as amended; the Richard T. Peery Separate Property Trust; Richard T. Peery as an individual; John Arrillaga, as Trustee under the John Arrillaga Survivor’s Trust dated July 20, 1977, as amended; the John Arrillaga Survivor’s Trust; John Arrillaga, as an individual; the Peery Private Investment Company-WP, a California Limited Partnership; Richard T.

obligations hereunder; shall be issued by an insurance company admitted to transact business in the State of California; and shall provide that the insurance effected thereby shall not be canceled, except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant’s insurance shall be primary as respects to the Landlord Entities, or if excess, shall stand in an unbroken chain of coverage. In either event, any other insurance maintained by the Landlord Entities shall be in excess of Tenant’s insurance and shall not be called upon to contribute with any insurance required to be provided by Tenant. The required insurance shall be reflected on a certificate of insurance of said policy, which certificate shall be delivered to Landlord concurrently with Tenant’s return of this executed Lease to Landlord. If, during the Term of this Lease, in the reasonable considered opinion of Landlord’s Lender, insurance advisor, or counsel, the amount of insurance described in this Paragraph 15 is not adequate, Tenant agrees to increase said coverage to such reasonable amount as Landlord’s Lender, insurance advisor, or counsel shall deem adequate.”
     12. PROPERTY INSURANCE: Effective June 1, 2005, Lease Paragraph 15 (“Property Insurance”) and Paragraph 6 (“Property Insurance”) of Amendment No. 3 shall be deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
               “15. PROPERTY INSURANCE. Landlord shall purchase and keep in force, and as Additional Rent and in accordance with Paragraph 4D of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or Landlord’s agent if so directed by Landlord) Tenant’s proportionate share (which proportionate share shall be allocated to the Premises by square footage or other equitable basis, as calculated by Landlord) of the deductibles on insurance claims and the cost of, policy or policies of insurance covering loss or damage to the Premises and Complex (excluding routine maintenance and repairs and incidental damage or destruction caused by accidents or vandalism for which Tenant is responsible under Paragraph 11) in the amount of the full replacement value thereof, providing protection against those perils included within the classification of “all risks” insurance and flood and/or earthquake insurance, if available, plus a policy of rental income insurance in the amount of one hundred (100%) percent of twelve (12) months Basic Rent, plus sums paid as Additional Rent and any deductibles related thereto. If such insurance cost is increased due to Tenant’s use of the Premises or the Complex, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the full cost of such increase. Tenant shall have no interest in nor any right to the proceeds of any insurance procured by Landlord for the Complex.
     In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 17, each party to this Lease hereby waives all rights of recovery against the other party or its officer, employees, agents and representatives for loss or damage to its property or the property of others under its control, arising from any cause insured against under the fire and extended coverage (excluding, however, any loss resulting from Hazardous Material contamination of the Property) required to be maintained by the terms of this Lease to the extent full reimbursement of the loss/claim is received by the insured party. Each party required to carry property insurance hereunder shall cause the policy evidencing such insurance to include a provision permitting such release of liability (“waiver of subrogation endorsement”); provided, however, that if the insurance policy of either releasing party prohibits such waiver, then this waiver shall not take effect until consent to such waiver is obtained. If such waiver is so prohibited, the insured party affected shall promptly notify the other party thereof. In the event the waivers are issued to the parties and are not valid under current policies and/or subsequent insurance policies, the non-complying party will provide, to the other party, thirty (30) days’ advance notification of the cancellation of the

subrogation waiver, in which case neither party will provide such subrogation waiver thereafter and this paragraph will be null and void. The foregoing waiver of subrogation shall not include any loss resulting from Hazardous Material contamination of the Property or any insurance coverage relating thereto.”
     13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: Effective June 1, 2005, Lease Paragraph 19 (“Assignment and Subletting”) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
          “19. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
          A. Requirements. Tenant shall not assign, transfer, or hypothecate the leasehold estate under this Lease, or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto, or suffer any other person or entity to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Landlord which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the above, in the event Tenant enters into a merger and/or acquisition agreement whereby fifty percent (50%) or more of Tenant’s stock and/or assets are transferred to a third party entity (“Change in Control”), said Change in Control will require Landlord’s consent pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 19.A, and Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, require that said acquiring entity also be named as a Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall not sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, to more than two subtenants at any one point in time without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld at Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Tenant’s failure to obtain Landlord’s prior written consent before entering into any such assignment, transfer and/or subletting shall be considered a default under this Lease and Landlord shall retain all of its rights under the Lease, including the right to elect, at Landlord sole and absolute discretion, to terminate either the Lease and/or the related sublease. As a condition for Landlord granting consent to any subletting, Landlord shall require that: (i) the sublease be a triple net sublease and that the basic rent due under any such sublease be no less than the then current market rent for subleases with annual increases at the then prevailing market rent for subleases; (ii) the sublease shall require that the security deposit due under the sublease be in the form of a letter of credit drawn upon an institutional lender acceptable and accessible to Landlord in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord, with said letter of credit being assignable to Landlord, at no cost to Landlord, upon notice to said financial institution of a default by Tenant under the Lease; (iii) the sublease shall not provide for subtenant to have an option to extend the term of the sublease or an option to expand the sublet space; and (vi) the Tenant shall pay to Landlord, monthly throughout the term of any approved sublease, fifty percent (50%) of all rents and/or additional consideration due Tenant from its subtenant in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder for the subleased space (“Excess Rent”) (with said Excess Rent subject to the terms of Lease Paragraph 4.C (“Late Charge”) and Lease Paragraph 24 (“Bankruptcy and Default”); provided, however, that before sharing of payment to Landlord of such Excess Rent, Tenant shall first be entitled to recover from such Excess Rent the amount of the reasonable leasing commission related to said transaction paid by Tenant to a third party broker not affiliated with Tenant. Tenant shall, by thirty (30) days written notice, advise Landlord of its intent to assign or transfer Tenant’s interest in the Lease or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof for any part of the Term hereof. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of said written notice, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises described in Tenant’s notice on the date specified in Tenant’s notice by giving written notice of such election to terminate. If no such notice to terminate is given to Tenant within said thirty (30) day period, Tenant may proceed to locate an acceptable sublessee, assignee, or other transferee for

presentment to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, all in accordance with the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Paragraph 19. Tenant shall provide Landlord with (a) a copy of the assignment and/or other transfer agreement and a copy of the certification of the change in corporate identity from the Secretary of State in the case of an assignment, or (b) a copy of the sublease in the case of a sublease for Landlord’s review, and upon Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s request to sublease and/or assign, Tenant and the assignee, transferee or subtenant shall execute Landlord’s standard written consent. If Tenant intends to sublet the entire Premises and Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall be terminated on the date specified in Tenant’s notice. If, however, this Lease shall terminate pursuant to the foregoing with respect to less than all the Premises, the Rent, as defined and reserved hereinabove shall be adjusted on a pro rata basis to the number of square feet retained by Tenant, and this Lease as so amended shall continue in full force and effect and Landlord, at its cost and expense, shall separately demise the remaining portion of the Premises leased to Tenant. In the event Tenant is allowed to assign, transfer or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, with the prior written consent of Landlord, no assignee, transferee or subtenant shall assign or transfer this Lease, either in whole or in part, or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, without also having obtained the prior written consent of Landlord. Notwithstanding the above, in no event shall Landlord consent to a sub-sublease. A consent of Landlord to one assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other person shall not release Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder or be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent similar or dissimilar assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use by any other person. Any such assignment, transfer, hypothecation, subletting, occupation or use without such consent shall be void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant and shall, at the option of Landlord exercised by written notice to Tenant, terminate this Lease. The leasehold estate under this Lease shall not, nor shall any interest therein, be assignable for any purpose by operation of law without the written consent of Landlord. As a condition to its consent, Landlord shall require Tenant to pay all expenses in connection with any and all subleases and/or assignments and/or any amendments related thereto, including but not limited to Landlord’s fees for the processing and administration of the consent documentation and Landlord’s attorneys’ fees (if any), and Landlord shall require Tenant’s subtenant, assignee or transferee (or other assignees or transferees) to assume in writing all of the obligations under this Lease and for Tenant to remain liable to Landlord under the Lease.
          B. Grounds to Refuse Proposed Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to refuse to consent to a proposed assignment, sublease or other transfer (“Proposed Transfer”) if the Premises or any other portion of the Property would become subject to additional or different Government Requirements as a direct or indirect consequence of the Proposed Transfer and/or the Proposed Transferee’s use and occupancy of the Premises and the Property. However, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, consent to such a Proposed Transfer where Landlord is indemnified by Tenant and (i) the subtenant or (ii) the assignee, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord and/or to Landlord’s counsel, by Tenant and/or Proposed Transferee from and against any and all costs, expenses, obligations and liability arising out of the Proposed Transfer and/or the Proposed Transferee’s use and occupancy of the Premises and the Property.
          C. Voluntary Termination of Lease – Required Sublease Language. Any and all sublease agreement(s) between Tenant and any and all subtenant(s) (“Subtenant”) (which agreements must be consented to by Landlord, pursuant to the requirements of this Lease) shall contain the following language:

     “If Landlord and Tenant jointly and voluntarily elect, for any reason whatsoever, to terminate the Master Lease prior to the scheduled Master Lease termination date, then, if Landlord so elects, this Sublease (if then still in effect) shall terminate concurrently with the termination of the Master Lease. Subtenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that (1) the voluntary termination of the Master Lease by Landlord and Tenant and the resulting termination of this Sublease shall not give Subtenant any right or power to make any legal or equitable claim against Landlord, including without limitation any claim for interference with contract or interference with prospective economic advantage, and (2) Subtenant hereby waives any and all rights it may have under law or at equity against Landlord to challenge such an early termination of the Sublease, and unconditionally releases and relieves Landlord, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, from any and all claims, demands, and/or causes of action whatsoever (collectively, “Claims”), whether such matters are known or unknown, latent or apparent, suspected or unsuspected, foreseeable or unforeseeable, which Subtenant may have arising out of or in connection with any such early termination of this Sublease. Subtenant knowingly and intentionally waives any and all protection which is or may be given by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with debtor.
          The term of this Sublease is therefore subject to early termination. Subtenant’s initials here below evidence (a) Subtenant’s consideration of and agreement to this early termination provision, (b) Subtenant’s acknowledgment that, in determining the net benefits to be derived by Subtenant under the terms of this Sublease, Subtenant has anticipated the potential for early termination, and (c) Subtenant’s agreement to the general waiver and release of Claims above.

          D. State of Incorporation Change; Name Change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, Tenant’s re-incorporation in another jurisdiction and/or the act of Tenant changing Tenant’s legal name shall not be considered an assignment; however, (i) Tenant shall provide Landlord with notice of such change in Tenant’s name and/or state of incorporation, which notice shall include a copy of the certification from the Secretary of State and (ii) Tenant and Landlord shall execute Landlord’s standard acknowledgement for any such change in Tenant’s name and/or state of incorporation.
          E. Permitted Transfers. In addition to and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 19.A above, and provided Tenant is not in default of this Lease beyond the applicable cure period, Landlord hereby agrees to: (1) consent to Tenant’s assigning or subletting said Lease to: (i) any

parent or subsidiary corporation, or corporation with which Tenant merges or consolidates provided that (a) said affiliate or successor owns all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, (b) the net worth of said parent or subsidiary corporation, or said corporation has a net worth equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant (x) at the time of Lease execution or (y) at the time of such assignment, merger, or consolidation, whichever is greater (collectively “Permitted Transfers”), and (c) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization; or (ii) any third party or entity to whom Tenant, as an ongoing concern, sells all or substantially all of its assets; provided that (a) said affiliate or successor owns all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, (b) the net worth of the resulting or acquiring corporation has a net worth after the merger, consolidation or acquisition equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant (x) at the time of Lease execution or (y) at the time of such merger, consolidation or acquisition, whichever is greater (collectively “Permitted Transfers”), and (c) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization; and (2) waive its right to terminate the Lease due to a Permitted Transfer. No such assignment or subletting will release the Tenant from its liability and responsibility under this Lease to the extent Tenant continues in existence following such transaction. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be required to (a) give Landlord written notice prior to such assignment or subletting to any party as described in (i) and (ii) above, (b) execute Landlord’s consent document prepared by Landlord reflecting the assignment or subletting and (c) pay Landlord’s costs for processing said Consent prior to the effective date of said assignment or sublease. Nothing herein shall be deemed to permit (i) any assignee to further assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises or (ii) any subtenant to assign its interest in the sublease to any other party without Landlord’s prior written consent.”
     14. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Effective June 1, 2005, Lease Paragraph 53 (“Hazardous Materials”) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
          “53. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Landlord and Tenant agree as follows with respect to the existence or use of “Hazardous Materials” (as defined herein) on, in, under or about the Premises and real property located beneath said Premises and the common areas of the Complex (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Property”):
     A. As used herein, the term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any material, waste, chemical, mixture or byproduct which is or hereafter is defined, listed or designated under Environmental Laws (defined below) as a pollutant, or as a contaminant, or as a toxic or hazardous substance, waste or material, or any other unwholesome, hazardous, toxic, biohazardous, or radioactive material, waste, chemical, mixture or byproduct, or which is listed, regulated or restricted by any Environmental Law (including, without limitation, petroleum hydrocarbons or any distillates or derivatives or fractions thereof, polychlorinated biphenyls, or asbestos). As used herein, the term “Environmental Laws” shall mean any applicable Federal, State of California or local government law (including common law), statute, regulation, rule, ordinance, permit, license, order, requirement, agreement, or approval, or any determination, judgment, directive, or order of any executive or judicial authority at any level of Federal, State of California or local government (whether now existing or subsequently adopted or promulgated) relating to pollution or the protection of the environment, ecology, natural resources, or public health and safety.

     B. Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s discretion, prior to the occurrence of any Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities (defined below) (and Tenant shall first provide Landlord with a list of said materials used and specify the location in the Premises where said materials are used and stored, the method of storage and disposal of the same, and a copy of the related permits); provided, however, that Landlord’s consent shall not be required for normal use in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws of customary household and office supplies, such as mild cleaners, lubricants and copier toner. As used herein, the term “Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities” shall mean any and all use, handling, generation, storage, disposal, treatment, transportation, release, discharge, or emission of any Hazardous Materials on, in, beneath, to, from, at or about the Property, or by Tenant or by any of Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, vendors, invitees, visitors or its future subtenants or assignees. Tenant agrees that any and all Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities shall be conducted in strict, full compliance with applicable Environmental Laws at Tenant’s expense, and shall not result in any contamination of the Property or the environment. Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with prompt written notice of any spill or release of Hazardous Materials at the Property during the term of the Lease of which Tenant becomes aware, and further agrees to provide Landlord with prompt written notice of any violation of Environmental Laws in connection with Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities of which Tenant becomes aware. If Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities involve Hazardous Materials other than normal use of customary household and office supplies, Tenant also agrees at Tenant’s expense: (i) to install such Hazardous Materials monitoring, storage and containment devices as Landlord reasonably deems necessary (Landlord shall have no obligation to evaluate the need for any such installation or to require any such installation); (ii) provide Landlord with a written inventory of such Hazardous Materials, including an update of same each year upon the anniversary date of the Commencement Date of the Lease (“Anniversary Date”); and (iii) on each Anniversary Date, to retain a qualified environmental consultant, acceptable to Landlord, to evaluate whether Tenant is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws with respect to Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities. Tenant, at its expense, shall submit to Landlord a report from such environmental consultant which discusses the environmental consultant’s findings within two (2) months of each Anniversary Date. Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly undertake and complete any and all steps necessary, and in full compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, to fully correct any and all problems or deficiencies identified by the environmental consultant, and promptly provide Landlord with documentation of all such corrections.
     C. Prior to termination or expiration of the Lease, Tenant, at its expense, shall (i) properly remove from the Property all Hazardous Materials which come to be located at the Property in connection with Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities, and (ii) fully comply with and complete all facility closure requirements of applicable Environmental Laws regarding Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities, including but not limited to (x) properly restoring and repairing the Property to the extent damaged by such closure activities, and (y) obtaining from the local Fire Department or other appropriate governmental authority with jurisdiction a written concurrence that closure has been completed in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with copies of any claims, notices, work plans, data and reports prepared, received or submitted in connection with any such closure activities.
     D. If Landlord, in its sole discretion, believes that the Property has become contaminated as a result of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities, Landlord in addition to any other rights it may have under this Lease or under Environmental Laws or other laws, may enter upon the Property and conduct

inspection, sampling and analysis, including but not limited to obtaining and analyzing samples of soil and groundwater, for the purpose of determining the nature and extent of such contamination. Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for the costs of such an investigation, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees Landlord incurs with respect to such investigation, that discloses Hazardous Materials contamination for which Tenant is liable under this Lease. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord may, at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion, choose to perform remediation and obtain reimbursement for cleanup costs as set forth herein from Tenant. Any cleanup costs incurred by Landlord as the result of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities shall be reimbursed by Tenant within thirty (30) days of presentation of written documentation of the expense to Tenant by Landlord. Such reimbursable costs shall include, but not be limited to, any reasonable consultants’ and attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord. Tenant shall take all actions necessary to preserve any claims it has against third parties, including, but not limited to, its insurers, for claims related to its operation, management of Hazardous Materials or contamination of the Property. Except as may be required of Tenant by applicable Environmental Laws, Tenant shall not perform any sampling, testing, or drilling to identify the presence of any Hazardous Materials at the Property, without Landlord’s prior written consent which may be withheld in Landlord’s discretion. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with copies of any claims, notices, work plans, data and reports prepared, received or submitted in connection with any sampling, testing or drilling performed pursuant to the preceding sentence.
     E. Tenant shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel acceptable to Landlord, whose consent shall not unreasonably be withheld) and hold harmless Landlord, its employees, assigns, successors, successors-in-interest, agents and representatives from and against any and all claims (including but not limited to third party claims from a private party or a government authority), liabilities, obligations, losses, causes of action, demands, governmental proceedings or directives, fines, penalties, expenses, costs (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and other experts’ fees and costs), and damages, which arise from or relate to: (i) Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities; (ii) any Hazardous Materials contamination caused by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date of the Lease; or (iii) the breach of any obligation of Tenant under this Paragraph 53 (collectively, “Tenant’s Environmental Indemnification”).
