Santa Clara, California 95054

THIS LEASE (“Lease”), dated for reference purposes as of April 15, 2016, is made and entered into by and between BATTON ASSOCIATES, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Lessor”), and SITIME CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Lessee”).

RECITALS:

A.    Lessor is the owner of the real property located at 5451 Patrick Henry Drive, Santa Clara, California, more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein, consisting of approximately 3.68 acres of land, together with all easements and appurtenances thereto (the “Land”), and the existing building thereon containing approximately 50,400 rentable square feet (the “Building”), the parking area on the Land, and all other improvements located thereon (collectively, the “Improvements”). The Land and Improvements are referred to herein collectively as the “Property.”

B.    Lessor and Lessee wish to enter into this Lease of the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.    Lease. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, the Property at the rental and upon all of the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2.    Term.

(a)    The term of this Lease (the “Term”) shall be one hundred twenty-two (122) months, commencing on the date (the “Commencement Date”) which is the later of (i) the date of substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements and Lessor’s Work (each defined below), and (ii) October 1, 2016, and shall expire on the date (the “Expiration Date”) which is one hundred twenty-two (122) full calendar months after the Commencement Date (with any partial month following the Commencement Date deemed included in “month 1” of the Term), unless extended or sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof. For purposes of this Lease, the “date of substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements and Lessor’s Work” shall mean the date the City of Santa Clara has approved the Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to the Work Letter Agreement attached as Exhibit “B” and Lessor’s Work in accordance with its building code, as evidenced by its completion of a final inspection and permit sign-off for all such work and issuance of a temporary or conditional certificate of occupancy, or its equivalent, for the Building. Lessee acknowledges, however, that due to the complexity of the permitting process with the City of Santa Clara for the proposed construction of the new lobby entrances to the Building described in Paragraph 13(a) and Exhibit “D,” Lessor may not be able to complete both of the new lobby entrances to the Building by October 1, 2016. Accordingly, Lessor and Lessee agree that (x) so long as the Building can be legally occupied following substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements and all of Lessor’s Work exclusive of one of the new lobby entrances to the Building, and (y) Lessor uses diligent efforts to complete the second new lobby entrance to the Building as soon as reasonably possible, then for

1

purposes of determining the Commencement Date, Lessor’s Work will be deemed to have been substantially completed as of the date that Lessor has completed all of Lessor’s Work, other than the second new lobby entrance to the Building, as evidenced by the completion of an inspection and permit sign-off for such portion of Lessor’s Work by the City of Santa Clara and the issuance of a conditional certificate of occupancy, or its equivalent, for the Building.

(b)    If the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before October 1, 2016, due to the fault of Lessee, then, beginning on December 1, 2016 and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter until the Commencement Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the Monthly Base Rent set forth in Paragraph 4 below (i.e., $82,000.00 per month), pro-rated for any partial month that such Monthly Base Rent is due. Delays “due to the fault” of Lessee shall include any delays that directly impact the critical path of Lessor’s construction of the Tenant Improvements, to the extent caused by: (i) Lessee’s failure to furnish information to Lessor for the preparation of plans and drawings for the Tenant Improvements in accordance with Exhibit “B”; (ii) Lessee’s request for special materials, finishes or installations which are not readily available; (iii) Lessee’s failure to reasonably approve plans and working drawings in accordance with Exhibit “B”; (iv) Lessee’s changes in plans and/or working drawings after their approval by Lessor and Lessee; (v) Lessee’s failure to complete any of its own improvement work to the extent Lessee delays completion by the City of Santa Clara of its final inspection and approval of the Tenant Improvements described in Exhibit “B”; or (iv) interference with Lessor’s work caused by Lessee or by Lessee’s contractors or subcontractors; provided, however, that in each case in which Lessor deems any delay to be “due to the fault of Lessee,” Lessor shall provide written notice to Lessee of any such delay within five (5) business days after the occurrence or commencement thereof, or Lessor shall be deemed to have waived any such delay caused by Lessee.

(c)    Lessee shall be permitted to enter the Building on and after August 1, 2016 for purposes of installing Lessee’s furniture, fixtures and equipment in the Building, and otherwise preparing the Building for Lessee’s occupancy provided that Lessee’s early entry does not result in any delay in the critical path of Lessor’s construction of the Tenant Improvements due to the fault of Lessee (i.e., as defined in Paragraph 2(b) above). Such early entry shall be at Lessee’s sole risk and subject to all the terms and provisions hereof, except for the payment of Monthly Base Rent, which shall commence on first day of the third month of the T erm, and the payment of Operating Expenses and Taxes, which shall commence on the Commencement Date. Prior to such early entry, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor the certificate of insurance required under Paragraph 11(a)(3) of this Lease. Lessor shall have the right to impose such additional conditions on Lessee’s early entry as Lessee shall deem reasonably appropriate.

(d)    If Lessor has not achieved substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements and Lessor’s Work on or before April 1, 2017 (with such date to be extended on a day-for-day basis for each day of delay “due to the fault of Lessee”), then Lessee may terminate this Lease by providing written notice to Lessor at any time thereafter and prior to substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements and Lessor’s Work, whereupon Lessor shall immediately refund the prepaid Monthly Base Rent, Security Deposit and any other sums paid by Lessee to Lessor on account of this Lease, and thereafter neither party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder.

3.    Option to Extend.

(a)    Provided that there is no uncured Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 22) by Lessee under this Lease at the time of exercise, or at the time the Option Period commences, Lessee

2

shall have the option to extend the Term of this Lease for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (“Option Period”) on the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except that (i) the Monthly Base Rent for the Option Period shall be determined as provided in Paragraph 3(b) below, (ii) Lessor shall have no obligation to provide Lessee with an allowance for, or otherwise construct any, improvements to the Property, and (iii) Lessor shall not be required to pay any leasing commissions to any brokers in connection with the Option Period. Lessee shall exercise its option by giving Lessor written notice (the “Option Notice”) at least twelve (12) months, but not more than fifteen (15) months, prior to the expiration of the initial Term of this Lease. The option to extend is personal to SiTime Corporation and may not be transferred or assigned to any third party other than a Permitted Transferee (as defined in Paragraph 17(g) below).

(b)    The Monthly Base Rent for the Option Period shall be determined as follows:

(1)    Lessor and Lessee shall have thirty (30) days after Lessor receives Lessee’s Option Notice within which to agree on the Monthly Base Rent for the Option Period based upon the then fair market rental value of the Property as defined in Paragraph 3(b)(2). If Lessor and Lessee agree on the Monthly Base Rent for the Option Period within thirty (30) days, they shall immediately execute an amendment to this Lease stating the Monthly Base Rent for the Option Period. If the parties are unable to agree on the Monthly Base Rent for the Option Period within thirty (30) days, then, the initial Monthly Base Rent for the Option Period shall be the then current fair market rental value of the Property as determined in accordance with Paragraph 3(b)(3). On the first anniversary of the first day of the Option Period, Monthly Base Rent for the Option Period shall be increased to an amount equal to 103% of the Monthly Base Rent payable for the first year of the Option Period, and such 3% annual increases shall continue to be applied to Monthly Base Rent on each subsequent anniversary of such date throughout the Option Period.

(2)    The “then fair market rental value of the Property” shall be defined to mean the fair market rental value of the Property as of the commencement of the applicable Option Period, taking into consideration the uses permitted under this Lease, the quality, size, design and location of the Premises, and the rent for comparable buildings located in Santa Clara, California. When determining the fair market rental value of the Property by reference to comparable transactions, the base rents provided for in such comparable transactions shall be adjusted to reflect the differences between the other terms of such comparable transactions and the other terms of the renewal or expansion to which the fair market rental value is to be applicable. For example: (a) if such comparable transactions provided for any allowance and/or free rent, then in determining the fair market rental value of the Property for the Option Period if Lessee does not receive any allowance and/or free rent (or a smaller allowance and/or free rent) the base rents provided for in such comparable transactions shall be adjusted downward, or (b) if such comparable transactions provided for the tenant thereunder to pay its pro-rata share of increases in operating expenses and/or taxes over a base year different from the triple net payments to be applicable to the Option Period, then in determining the fair market rental value of the Property for the Option Period, the base rents provided for in such comparable transactions shall be adjusted upward or downward, as appropriate.

(3)    Within seven (7) days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day period set forth in Paragraph 3(b)(1), each party, at its cost and by giving notice to the other party, shall appoint an MAI appraiser with at least five (5) years’ full time commercial appraisal experience with similar commercial/industrial properties in Santa Clara, California, to appraise and set the then fair market rental value of the Property for the Option Period. If a party does not appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the name of its appraiser, the single

3

appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and shall set the then fair market rental value of the Property for the Option Period. If the two (2) appraisers are appointed by the parties as stated in this paragraph, they shall meet promptly and attempt to set the then fair market rental value of the Property for the Option Period. If they are unable to agree within thirty (30) days after the second appraiser has been appointed, they shall attempt to elect a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated in this paragraph within ten (10) days after the last day the two (2) appraisers are given to set the then fair market rental value of the Property for the Option Period. If they are unable to agree on the third appraiser, either of the parties to this Lease, by giving ten (10) days’ notice to the other party, can apply to the then Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County Superior Court, for the selection of a third appraiser who meets the qualifications stated in this paragraph. Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of appointing the third appraiser and of paying the third appraiser’s fee. The third appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity for either party.

Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third appraiser, a majority of the appraisers shall set the then fair market rental value of the Property for the Option Period. If a majority of the appraisers are unable to set the then fair market rental value of the Property for the Option Period within the stipulated period of time, the three (3) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by three (3); the resulting quotient shall be the then fair market rental value of the Property for the Option Period. If, however, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal are/is more than ten percent (10%) lower and/or higher than the middle appraisal, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal shall be disregarded. If only one appraisal is disregarded, the remaining two (2) appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by two (2); the resulting quotient shall be the then fair market rental value of the Property for the Option Period. If both the low appraisal and the high appraisal are disregarded as stated in this paragraph, then only the middle appraisal shall be used as the result of the appraisal. After the then fair market rental value of the Property for the Option Period has been set, the appraisers shall immediately notify the parties and the parties shall amend this Lease to set forth the Monthly Base Rent for the Option Period.

4.    Monthly Base Rent. Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing during the Term of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor Monthly Base Rent in monthly installments in advance on a triple net basis in lawful money of the United States as follows:

4

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions to the contrary, if the second new lobby entrance to the Building is not substantially completed prior to the first day of the third month of the Term, then Tenant shall pay Monthly Base Rent in the amount of $70,520.00 per month (i.e., $2.05 x 34,400 square feet) until the second new lobby entrance to the Building is substantially completed, which shall be deemed to have occurred when the City of Santa Clara has approved such portion of Lessor’s Work in accordance with its building code, as evidenced by its completion of a final inspection and permit sign-off for such portion of Lessor’s Work and the issuance of an unconditional certificate of occupancy, or its equivalent, for the Building.

5.    Additional Rent; Operating Expenses and Taxes.

(a)    In addition to the Monthly Base Rent, commencing on the Commencement Date Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as “Additional Rent,” the Operating Expenses of the Property in accordance with Paragraph 5(b) hereof and all real property taxes and assessments levied or assessed against the Property in accordance with Paragraph 5(c) hereof. Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent are sometimes referred to herein collectively as “rent” or “rental.”

(b)    “Operating Expenses” as used herein shall include all reasonable direct costs actually incurred by Lessor in the management, operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the Property, including the cost of all maintenance, repairs, and restoration of the Property performed by Lessor pursuant to Paragraphs 14(b) and 14(c) hereof, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including, but not limited to: personal property taxes related to the Property; any parking taxes or levies imposed on the Property in the future by any governmental agency; a management fee equal to three percent (3%) of the Monthly Base Rent; water and sewer charges; waste disposal; insurance premiums for insurance coverages maintained by Lessor pursuant to Paragraph 11(b) hereof; license, permit, and inspection fees; maintenance and repair of the roof membrane; maintenance and repair of the HVAC system; maintenance, repair and replacement of floor and window coverings; landscaping, gardening, and tree trimming; glazing; repair, maintenance, cleaning, sweeping, striping, patch paving, and resurfacing of the parking area; exterior lighting Mid parking lot lighting; supplies, materials, equipment and tools used in the maintenance of the Property; costs for accounting services incurred in the calculation of Operating Expenses and Taxes as defined herein; and the cost of capital expenditures for any improvements or changes to the Building which are required by laws, codes, statutes, ordinances, directives of public authorities or other governmental regulations (collectively “Applicable Laws”) adopted after the Commencement Date, or for any items or capital expenditures voluntarily made by Lessor which are intended to have the effect of reducing Operating Expenses; provided, however, that with respect to capital improvements made to save Operating Expenses the amortization thereof shall not be at a rate greater than the actual savings in Operating Expense. If Lessor voluntarily makes capital improvements or capital expenditures to the Building or the Property, or is required to make such capital improvements or capital expenditures, Lessor shall amortize the cost of such improvements and expenditures over the useful life of said improvements as reasonably determined by Lessor in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (together with interest on the unamortized balance at the rate equal to the effective rate of interest actually charged to Lessor for its borrowings for capital expenditures, but in no event in excess of ten percent (10%) per annum) and only the annual amortized amount shall be included in Operating Expenses annually from the date of expenditure through the date which is the earlier of the expiration of the Term or the date the cost of such improvements or such expenditures has been fully amortized. Operating Expenses shall also include any other expenses or charges, whether or not described herein, not specifically excluded by other provisions of this Lease, which in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles would be considered an expense of managing, operating, maintaining, and repairing the Property.

5

(c)    Real property taxes and assessments levied or assessed against the Property, during the term of this Lease are referred to herein as “Taxes.” As used herein, “Taxes” shall mean:

(1)    all real estate taxes, assessments and any other taxes levied or assessed against the Property, including the Land, the Building, and all improvements located thereon, and including any increase in Taxes resulting from a reassessment following any transfer of ownership of the Property or any interest therein or following any improvements to the Property; and

(2)    all other taxes which may be levied in lieu of real estate taxes, assessments, and other fees, charges, and levies, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, unforeseen as well as foreseen, of any kind and nature by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, including without limitation any governmental authority or any improvement or other

6

district or division thereof, for public improvements, services, or benefits which are assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed, or become a lien (1) upon the Property, and/or any legal or equitable interest of Lessor in any part thereof; or (2) upon this transaction or any document to which Lessee is a party creating or transferring any interest in the Property; and (3) any tax or excise, however described, imposed in addition to, or in substitution partially or totally of, any tax previously included within the definition of “Taxes” or any tax the nature of which was previously included in the definition “Taxes.”

Not included within the definition of “Taxes” are any net income, profits, transfer, franchise, estate, gift, rental income, or inheritance taxes imposed by any governmental authority. “Taxes” also shall not include penalties or interest charges assessed on delinquent Taxes provided that Lessee has paid the Taxes to Lessor when due.

With respect to any assessments which may be levied against or upon the Property, or the Land, which under Applicable Laws then in force may be evidenced by improvement or other bonds, or may be paid in annual installments, Lessor shall pay the same in the maximum duration and number of installments and only the amount of such annual installment (with appropriate proration of any partial year) and statutory interest shall be included within the computation of the annual Taxes levied against the Property during the Term.

(d)    Taxes and insurance premiums shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessee of an invoice from Lessor specifying the amount of the Taxes and/or insurance premiums payable by Lessee. All other Operating Expenses shall be payable by Lessee to Lessor within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessee of an invoice from Lessor specifying the amount of Operating Expenses payable by Lessee for the immediately prior month of the Term and including a breakdown of the general expense categories within each such Operating Expense invoice.

(e)    Lessee or its accountants shall have the right to inspect and audit Lessor’s books and records with respect to the Operating Expenses and Taxes for the Property at Lessor’s offices once each calendar year to verify actual Operating Expenses and/or Taxes. Lessor’s books and records shall be kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. If Lessee’s audit of the Operating Expenses and/or Taxes for any year reveals a net overcharge of more than five percent (5%), Lessor promptly shall reimburse Lessee for the cost of the audit; otherwise Lessee shall bear the cost of Lessee’s audit. Any net overcharge shall be credited against Operating Expenses next due from Lessee hereunder, or shall be refunded to Lessee without interest, if the net overcharge exceeds Operating Expenses payable by Lessee.

(f)    Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Lease, within thirty (30) days after receipt by Lessee of an invoice from Lessor for any Operating Expenses or Taxes payable by Lessee and attributable to such portion of the Term within the calendar year in which this Lease expires or terminates, Lessee shall pay to Lessor any such amount due as shown on such invoice. Lessee’s obligations under this subparagraph (g) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

6.    Payment of Rent.

(a)    All rent shall be due and payable by Lessee in lawful money of the United States of America at the address of Lessor set forth in Paragraph 24, without deduction or offset and without prior demand or notice, unless otherwise specified herein. Monthly Base Rent shall be payable

7

monthly, in advance, on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, except that Lessee shall pay the Monthly Base Rent due for the third full calendar month of the Term upon execution of this Lease and Lessor shall apply such payment to such month. Lessee’s obligation to pay rent for any partial month at the expiration or termination of the Term shall be prorated on the basis of the actual number of days in such calendar month.

(b)    If any installment of Monthly Base Rent or Additional Rent is not received by Lessor within five (5) days after the same is due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an additional sum equal to five percent (5%) of the amount overdue as a late charge; provided, however, that Lessor agrees to waive such late charge for the first time in any twelve (12) month period that Lessee fails to pay any Monthly Base Rent or Additional Rent within such 5-day period so long as Lessee pays the amount due within five (5) days after written notice from Lessor such Monthly Base Rent or Additional Rent is past due. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Lessor will incur by reason of the late payment by Lessee. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Lessee’s default with respect to the overdue amount. Any amount not paid within thirty (30) days after the date such amount is due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the lesser rate of (1) the prime rate of interest plus five percent (5%) or (2) the maximum rate allowed by law, in addition to the late payment charge (the “Interest Rate”).

7.    Security Deposit. Lessee shall deposit with Lessor upon execution of this Lease the sum of One Hundred Thirty-eight Thousand Six Hundred and no/100ths Dollars ($138,600.00) as security for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant (the “Security Deposit”). If Lessee commits any Event of Default with respect to any provision of this Lease, Lessor may apply all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or other sum in default, the repair of any damage to the Property or the payment of any other amount which Lessor may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of such Event of Default or to compensate Lessor for any other loss or damage which Lessee may suffer by reason of Lessee’s default to the full extent permitted by law. Lessee hereby waives any restriction on the use or application of the Security Deposit by Lessor as set forth in California Civil Code Section 1950.7(c). If any portion of the Security Deposit is so applied. Lessee shall, within ten (10) business days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Lessor in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Lessor shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Lessee shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit, or any unapplied balance thereof, shall be returned to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

8.    Use. Lessee shall use and occupy the Property only for general offices, administration, research and development, and such other related uses that are permitted by applicable zoning ordinances and any covenants, conditions, and restrictions affecting the Property, and for no other use or purpose without Lessor’s prior written consent. Any use of the Property by any sublessee or assignee pursuant to Paragraph 17 shall comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 8.

9.    Environmental Matters.

(a)    The term “Hazardous Materials” as used in this Lease shall mean any product, substance, or waste whose presence, use, manufacture, disposal, transportation, or release, is defined as such by any governmental authority pursuant to Environmental Laws. Hazardous Materials shall

8

include, but not be limited to hydrocarbons, petroleum, gasoline, and/or crude oil or any products, by-products or fractions thereof. Lessee shall not engage in any activity in or on the Property which constitutes a Reportable Use of Hazardous Materials without the express prior written consent of Lessor and timely compliance (at Lessee’s expense) with all Environmental Laws. “Reportable Use” shall mean (i) the installation or use of any above or below ground storage tank, (ii) the generation, possession, storage, use, transportation, or disposal of Hazardous Materials that require a permit from, or with respect to which a report, notice, registration or business plan is required to be filed with, any governmental authority, and/or (iii) the presence at the Property of Hazardous Materials with respect to which any Environmental Law requires that a notice be given to persons entering or occupying the Property or neighboring properties,

(c)    Lessee shall not bring onto the Property any Hazardous Materials, except for the Hazardous Materials described on Exhibit “C” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, if any, or which are approved in writing by Lessor hereafter. Lessee shall deliver to Lessor (1) a copy of Lessee’s current Hazardous Materials Management Plan, and any amendments or supplements thereto, or replacements thereof, from time to time during the term of this Lease, and (2) a copy of all Hazardous Materials reports or plans filed by Lessee with the City of Santa Clara, even though Lessee’s Hazardous Materials Management Plan and any such reports on plans filed with the City show that Lessee is not currently using any reportable Hazardous Materials on the Property.

(d)    If Lessee has actual knowledge that Hazardous Materials have come to be located in, on, under or about the Property in violation of Environmental Laws, Lessee shall immediately give written notice of such fact to Lessor and provide Lessor with a copy of any report, notice, claim or other documentation which it has concerning the presence of such Hazardous Materials.

11

Each party shall cause each property insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation against either party in connection with the above waiver and any damage covered by any policy; provided, however, that such provision or endorsement shall not be required if the applicable policy of insurance permits the named insured to waive rights of subrogation on a blanket basis, in which case the blanket waiver shall be acceptable.

12.    Indemnification.

Lessee shall remain primarily liable for all obligations and liabilities of Lessee under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of rent. Lessee’s foregoing rights to assign this Lease or to sublease the Property to a Permitted Transferee shall be subject to the following conditions: (1) there shall be no uncured Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 22) by Lessee under this Lease existing at the time of any such transfer; (2) Lessee shall remain liable to Lessor hereunder if Lessee survives the transaction; and (3) if as a result of a merger, consolidation, or reorganization Lessee is not a surviving entity, the transferee or successor entity to Lessee shall have on the effective date of such transaction a tangible net worth as shown on its current balance sheet certified by an officer of the assignee or sublessee (hereinafter “transferee”) or successor entity at least equal to the tangible net worth of Lessee immediately prior to the effective date of the assignment or sublease, or, if less, financial resources sufficient, in Lessor’s reasonable judgment, to perform the obligations under the assignment or sublease, as applicable; and (4) the transferee or successor entity shall expressly assume in writing Lessee’s obligations hereunder accruing from and after the effective date of such assignment or subletting.

(h)    The sale or transfer of Lessee’s capital stock in a public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by Lessee with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise in connection with any other bona fide financing transaction shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting, or other transfer of this Lease or the Property, provided, that in the event of the sale, transfer or issuance of Lessee’s securities in connection with a merger, consolidation, or reorganization in which Lessee is not a surviving entity, conditions (1), (3), and (4) in the preceding subparagraph shall apply.

(i)    Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 17 any assignment or sublease without Lessor’s prior written consent (where such consent is required hereunder) shall at Lessor’s election be void. The consent by Lessor to any assignment or sublease shall not constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Paragraph 17, including the requirement of Lessor’s prior written consent, with respect to any subsequent assignment or sublease. If Lessee shall purport to assign this Lease, or sublease all or any portion of the Property, without Lessor’s prior written consent (if such consent is required hereunder), Lessor may collect rent from the company or other business entity then or thereafter occupying the Property and apply the net amount collected to the rent reserved herein, but

19

such collection shall not be deemed a waiver of Lessor’s rights and remedies under this Paragraph 17, or the acceptance by Lessor of any such purported assignee, sublessee, or occupant, or a release of Lessee from the further performance by Lessee of any of Lessee’s covenants contained herein.

(j)    Lessee shall not hypothecate or encumber its interest under this Lease or any rights of Lessee hereunder, or enter into any license or concession agreement respecting all or any portion of the Property, without Lessor’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, subject to all of the provisions of this Paragraph 17.

(k)    In the event of any sale or exchange of the Property by Lessor and assignment of this Lease by Lessor, upon providing Lessee with written confirmation that Lessor has transferred the Security Deposit held by Lessor to Lessor’s successor in interest and upon the assumption by the transferee of all of Lessor’s obligations hereunder accruing from and after the effective date of such assignment, Lessor shall be and hereby is entirely relieved of all liability for Lessor’s covenants and obligations contained in this Lease with respect to the period commencing with the effective date of the sale or exchange and assignment.

(l)    The parties acknowledge that Lessor has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Lessor may continue the Lease in effect after Lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).

18.    Non-Waiver.

(a)    No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of either party to enforce any remedy for the violation of that provision, even if that violation continues or is repeated. Any waiver by Lessor or Lessee of any provision of this Lease must be in writing.

(b)    No receipt by Lessor of a lesser payment than the rent required under this Lease shall be considered to be other than on account of the earliest rent due, and no endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a payment or check shall be considered an accord and satisfaction. Lessor may accept checks or payments without prejudice to Lessor’s right to recover all amounts due and to pursue all other remedies provided for in this Lease. Lessor’s receipt of money from Lessee after giving notice to Lessee terminating this Lease shall not reinstate, continue, or extend the Lease term or affect any termination notice given by Lessor before the receipt of the money. After serving notice terminating this Lease, filing an action, or obtaining final judgment for possession of the Property, Lessor may receive and collect any rent, and the payment of that rent shall not waive or affect such prior notice, action, or judgment.

19.    Holding Over. Lessee shall vacate the Property and deliver possession of the Property to Lessor in the condition required by this Lease upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. In the event of holding over by Lessee after the expiration or termination of this Lease with Lessor’s prior written consent, such holding over shall be on a month-to-month tenancy and all of the terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during such period, including, but not limited to, the payment by Lessee to Lessor of Operating Expenses and Taxes as provided in Paragraph 5, except that Lessee shall pay Lessor as Monthly Base Rent during such holdover an amount equal to the greater of (1) one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Base Rent in effect at the expiration or termination of the term, or (2) the then market rent for comparable research and development/office space. If such holdover is without Lessor’s prior written consent, in addition to the obligation of Lessee

20

to pay the foregoing amounts, Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for all costs, expenses, and consequential damages incurred by Lessor as a direct result of such holdover and which would not have otherwise have been incurred. All rent payable during such holdover period shall be payable to Lessor upon demand.

20.    Damage or Destruction.

(a)    In the event of a total destruction of the Building and Improvements during the Term from any cause, either party may elect to terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other party within thirty (30) days after the casualty occurs. A total destruction shall be deemed to have occurred for this purpose if the Building and Improvements are destroyed to the extent of seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the replacement cost thereof. If the Building and Improvements are destroyed to the extent of seventy-five percent (75%) or more and this Lease is not terminated by either Lessor or Lessee, Lessor shall, provided that Lessor receives insurance proceeds in at least said amount (less the applicable deductible), repair and restore the Building and Improvements to substantially the condition existing as of the Commencement Date of this Lease in a diligent manner and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that rent shall be abated in accordance with Paragraph 20(d) below.

(b)    In the event of a partial destruction of the Building and Improvements of the Property to an extent exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) but less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the replacement cost thereof, or if any damage thereto cannot be repaired, reconstructed, or restored within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such casualty, either Lessor or Lessee may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other within thirty (30) days after the casualty.

Furthermore, if such casualty is from a cause which is not required to be insured under Lessor’s special form property insurance, or is not insured under any other property insurance carried by Lessor, or if the proceeds of insurance received by Lessor when added to the applicable deductible are not sufficient to repair and restore the Building and Improvements, Lessor may elect (1) to repair and restore the Building and Improvements (provided that Lessee has not elected to terminate this Lease pursuant to the first sentence of this Paragraph 20(b)), or (2) to terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to Lessee. Lessor’s election to repair and restore the Building and Improvements or to terminate this Lease shall be made and written notice thereof shall be given to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the casualty.

If this Lease is not terminated by Lessor or Lessee pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Lessor shall complete the repairs in a diligent manner and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that Monthly Base Rent shall be abated in accordance with Paragraph 20(d) below.

(c)    (c) In the event of a partial destruction of the Building and Improvements of the Property to an extent not exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the replacement cost thereof and if the damage thereto can be repaired, reconstructed, or restored within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such casualty, and if the casualty is from a cause which is insured under Lessor’s special form insurance, or is insured under any other coverage then carried by Lessor, and Lessor receives proceeds of insurance sufficient to repair and restore the Building and Improvements, Lessor shall forthwith repair the same, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, except that Monthly Base Rent shall be abated in accordance with Paragraph 20(d) below. If any of the foregoing conditions is not met, Lessor shall have the option either to repair and restore the Building and Improvements, in which event this Lease shall remain in frill force and effect, or to terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to Lessee within thirty (30) days after the casualty.

21

(d)    In the event of repair, reconstruction, or restoration as provided herein, Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated proportionally in the ratio which the Lessee’s use of the Property is impaired during the period commencing with the date of the casualty and ending when the repair or restoration is substantially completed.

(e)    With respect to any destruction of the Property which Lessor is obligated to repair, or may elect to repair, under the terms of this Paragraph 20, the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and of Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the Civil Code of the State of California are waived by the parties. Lessor’s obligation to repair and restore the Property shall be limited to the improvements existing as of the Commencement Date of the term of this Lease, provided that Lessor receives insurance proceeds net of deductibles in at least the amount necessary to repair and restore the Property. Lessor’s time for completion of the repairs and restoration of the Property shall be extended by the number of work days that the repair and restoration is delayed by strikes, labor disputes, unavailability of materials, inclement weather, acts of God, or other causes beyond Lessor’s control.

(f)    In the event of termination of this Lease pursuant to any of the provisions of this Paragraph 20, the rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and shall be paid to the date of the casualty. In no event shall Lessor be liable to Lessee for any damages incurred by Lessee from such casualty, or from the repairs or restoration of the Building and Improvements by Lessor pursuant to this Paragraph 20, or from the termination of this Lease as provided herein, nor shall Lessee be relieved thereby from any of Lessee’s obligations hereunder, except to the extent and upon the conditions expressly set forth in this Paragraph 20.

21.    Eminent Domain.

(a)    If all or any substantial part of the Property is taken by eminent domain for any public use or purpose, this Lease shall terminate with respect to the Property or the part so taken upon the earlier to occur of the date when the possession of the part so taken is required for such use or purpose or the vesting of title in the condemning authority. Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. Lessee shall be entitled to receive any damages awarded to Lessee by the court for (1) any personal property owned by Lessee, and (2) reasonable costs of moving to another location in Santa Clara County. The entire balance of the award shall be the property of Lessor.

(b)    If there is a partial taking of the Property by eminent domain which is not a substantial part of the Building or the Property and the balance of the Property remains reasonably suitable for continued use and occupancy by Lessee for the purposes permitted by this Lease, Lessor shall complete any necessary repairs in a diligent manner and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect with a just and proportionate abatement of the Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent, to reflect the reduction in the rental value of the Property caused by the partial taking. If after a partial taking, the Property is not reasonably suitable for Lessee’s continued use and occupancy for the uses permitted herein, Lessee may terminate this Lease effective on the earlier of the date title vests in the condemning authority or the date possession is taken. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 21 (a), the entire award for such taking shall be the property of Lessor.

22

22.    Default.

(a)    A default under this Lease by Lessee shall exist if any of the following occurs (each, an “Event of Default”):

(1)    If Lessee fails to pay any Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other sum required to be paid hereunder when due which failure continues uncured for a period of three (3) days after written notice thereof;

(2)    If Lessee fails to perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease except those requiring the payment of money, and Lessee fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessor where such breach could reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period; provided, however, that where such failure could not reasonably be cured within the thirty (30)) day period; that Lessee shall not be in default if Lessee commences such performance within the thirty (30)) day period and diligently thereafter prosecutes the same to completion;

(3)    If Lessee’s interest in this Lease is assigned or transferred, either voluntarily or by operation of law (except as expressly permitted by other provisions of this Lease);

(4)    If Lessee assigns its assets for the benefit of its creditors; or

(5)    If a court makes or enters any decree or order other than under the bankruptcy laws of the United States adjudging Tenants to be insolvent; or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of Tenants; or directing the winding up or liquidation of Tenants and such decree or order shall have continued for a period of sixty (60) days.

(b)    In the Event of a Default by Lessee, Lessor may terminate this Lease and remove ail persons and property therefrom and Lessor may recover from Lessee:

(1)    the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination, including interest thereon at the maximum lawful rate from the time of termination until paid;

(2)    the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could have been reasonably avoided, including interest thereon at the maximum lawful rate from the time of termination until paid;

(3)    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 such rental loss for the same period that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided, computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%); and

(4)    any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.

(c)    If Lessor does not take possession of the Premises or terminate Lessee’s right to occupy the Premises, then this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Lessor does not terminate

23

Lessee’s right to possession and Lessor may enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent and other sums due from Lessee hereunder as and when due. For the purposes of this Paragraph 22, the following do not constitute a repossession of the Property by Lessor or a termination of the Lease by Lessor: (1) acts of maintenance or preservation by Lessor or efforts by Lessor to relet the Property; or (2) the appointment of a receiver by Lessor to protect Lessor’s interests under this Lease.

23.    Lessee’s Personal Property. If any of Lessee’s Personal Property remains on the Property after (1) Lessor terminates this Lease pursuant to Paragraph 22 above following an Event of Default by Lessee, or (2) the expiration of the Term or after the termination of this Lease pursuant to any other provisions hereof, Lessor shall give written notice thereof to Lessee pursuant to Applicable Laws. Lessor shall thereafter release, store, or dispose of any such personal property of Lessee in accordance with the provisions of applicable law.

29.    Approvals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, whenever this Lease requires the approval, consent, designation, determination, or judgment by either Lessor or Lessee, such approval, consent, designation, determination, or judgment by either Lessor or Lessee (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, those required in connection with assignment and subletting), shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, each party shall at all times act reasonably and in good faith.

30.    Subordination: Attornment. Lessee agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Lessor upon reasonable request from time to time during the Term of this Lease a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“SNDA”) in the form requested by Lessor’s mortgage lender, if any, on the condition that Lessor and Lessor’s lender shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessee promptly thereafter a copy of the SNDA providing that so long as Lessee is not in default under this Lease, Lessee’s possession of the Property and its rights under this Lease shall not be disturbed in the event of the foreclosure of the mortgage to which this Lease is subordinated by the SNDA, or in the event of the delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and further providing that upon request Lessee shall attorn to the lender or the purchaser of the Property at the foreclosure sale or by deed in lieu of foreclosure.

31.    Breach by Lessor.

(a)    Lessor shall not be deemed in breach of this Lease unless Lessor fails within a reasonable time after receipt of written notice from Lessee to perform an obligation required to be performed by Lessor pursuant to this Lease. For purposes of this Paragraph 31, a reasonable time shall

(b)    In the event of a breach of this Lease by Lessor, Lessee’s sole remedy shall be to institute an action against Lessor for damages or for equitable relief, but Lessee shall not have the right to rent abatement, to offset against rent, or to terminate this Lease other than as expressly set forth in this Lease.

32.    Lessor’s Entry. Except in the case of an emergency and except for permission by an employee of Lessee to enter during Lessee’s normal working hours. Lessor and Lessor’s agents shall provide Lessee with at least twenty-four (24) hours’ notice prior to entry of the Building. Such entry by Lessor and Lessor’s agents shall not interfere with Lessee’s operations more than reasonably necessary. Lessor and Lessor’s agents shall at all times be accompanied by a representative of Lessee during any such entry except in case of emergency. Lessor may enter the Building at any time without prior notice to Lessee, and without a representative of Lessee present, if Lessee has vacated the Building.

33.    Attorneys’ Fees. If any action at law or in equity is brought to recover any rent under this Lease, or for or on account of any breach of or to enforce or to interpret any provisions of this Lease or for recovery of the possession of the Property, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party costs of suit and reasonable attorneys’ fees, the amount of which shall be fixed by the court and shall be made a part of any judgment rendered.

35.    General Provisions.

(a)    Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third person to create the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture of any association between Lessor and Lessee, and neither the method of computation of rent nor any other provisions contained in this Lease nor any acts of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Lessor and Lessee other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.

(b)    Lessor and Lessee agree that each has had an opportunity to determine to its satisfaction the actual area of the Building. All measurements of area contained in this Lease are conclusively agreed to be correct and binding on the parties, even if a subsequent measurement of one of these areas determines that it is more or less than the area reflected in this Lease. Any such subsequent determination that the area is more or less than the area shown in this Lease shall not result in a change in any of the computations of rent or any other matters described in this Lease where area is a factor.

26

(h)    Recourse by Lessee for breach of this Lease by Lessor shall be expressly limited to Lessor’s interest in the Property and the rents, issues and profits (herefrom, and no other assets of Lessor or any manager, member, property manager, employee, or agent thereof. In the event of any such breach or default by either party hereunder, the non-breaching party hereby waives the right to proceed against any assets of any manager, member, property manager, employee, or agent of the party in breach,

(i)    Any provision or provisions of this Lease which shall be found to be invalid, void or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall in no way affect, impair, or invalidate any other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

(j)    This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties in interest at the time of such modification. This Lease and all subsequent modifications thereto maybe executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original.
