in Operating Expenses but the obtaining a type of insurance that did not exist during the Base Year would be subject to equitable adjustment unless it replaced a type of insurance that did exist in the Base Year.

4.2           Base Rent.  During the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as rental for the Premises the Base Rent described in Section 1.7 above, subject to the following adjustments (herein called the “Rent Adjustments”): During each applicable calendar year, or portion thereof; during the Lease Term, the Base Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord, as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.7 above, shall be increased by (collectively, the “Property Tax and Operating Expense and Direct Reimbursement Payments Adjustment”): (i) Tenant’s Percentage Share of the increase in Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord during each year during the Term of this Lease over the Base Year Operating Expenses, (ii) Tenant’s Percentage Share of the increase in Property Taxes incurred by Landlord during each year during the Term of this Lease over the Base Year Property Taxes, and (iii) during each year of the Term, Direct Reimbursement Payments to the extent reimbursable to Landlord and not paid directly to the utility provider or service vendor (collectively, “Rent Adjustments”).  A decrease in Property Taxes or Operating Expenses below the Base Year Operating Expenses or Base Year Property Taxes shall not decrease the amount of the Base Rent due hereunder or give rise to a credit in favor of Tenant.

4.3           Adjustment Procedure; Estimates.  The Property Tax and Operating Expense and Direct Reimbursement Payments Adjustment specified in Section 4.2 shall be determined and paid as follows:

(A)          During each calendar year, or portion thereof, during the Lease Term, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Base Year Operating Expenses and Base Year Property Taxes and its estimate of any increased amounts payable under Section 4.2 for that calendar year for Operating Expenses, Property Taxes and/or Direct Reimbursement Expenses, respectively as the case may be.  On or before the first day of each calendar month during the calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of such estimated amounts; provided, however, that, not more often than quarterly and subject to Section 4.2, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, revise its estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate.

(B)           Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each calendar year or as soon thereafter as is practicable, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Tenant a statement of that year’s Property Taxes, Operating Expenses, and Direct Reimbursement Expenses, and the actual Tax and Operating Expense and Direct Reimbursement Payments Adjustment to be made pursuant to Section 4.2 for such calendar year, as reasonably determined by Landlord (the “Landlord’s Statement”) and such Landlord’s Statement shall be binding upon Tenant, except as provided in Section 4.4 below.  The Landlord’s Statement shall provide a reasonable description of the components of the Base Year Operating Expenses and Property Taxes and current year Operating Expenses and Property Taxes by expense categories and set forth the methodology by which any adjustments under Section 4.1(D) were made.  If the amount of the actual Property Tax and Operating Expense and Direct Payments Adjustment is more than the estimated payments for such calendar year made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord’s Statement.  If the amount of the actual Property Tax and Operating Expense and Direct Reimbursement Payments Adjustment is less than the estimated payments for such calendar year made by Tenant, any excess shall be paid to Tenant within thirty (30) days.  No delay in providing the statement described in this subparagraph (B) shall act as a waiver of Landlord’s right to payment under Section 4.2 above.

9

(C)           If this Lease shall terminate on a day other than the end of a calendar year, the amount of the Property Tax and Operating Expense and Direct Reimbursement Payments Adjustment to be paid pursuant to Section 4.2 that is applicable to the calendar year in which such termination occurs shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days from January 1 of the calendar year to the termination date bears to 365.  The termination of this Lease shall not affect the obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 4.3 to be performed after such termination.

4.4           Review of Landlord’s Statement.  Provided that (a) an Event of Default is not then pending and (b) Tenant strictly complies with the provisions of this Section 4.4, Tenant shall have the right, once each calendar year, to reasonably review relevant supporting data for any portion of a Landlord’s Statement, in accordance with the following procedure:

(A)          Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after any such Landlord’s Statement is delivered, deliver a written notice to Landlord notifying Landlord of its election to inspect Landlord’s books and records relating to the Landlord’s Statement, and Tenant shall simultaneously pay to Landlord all amounts due from Tenant to Landlord as specified in the Landlord’s Statement.  In no event shall Tenant be entitled to withhold, deduct, or offset any monetary obligation of Tenant to Landlord under the Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to make all payments of Base Rent and all payments of Tenant’s Tax and Operating Expense and Direct Reimbursement Payments Adjustment) pending the completion of and regardless of the results of any review of records under this Section 4.4.  The right of Tenant under this Section 4.4 may only be exercised once per year for any Landlord’s Statement, and if Tenant fails to meet any of the above conditions as a prerequisite to the exercise of such right, the right of Tenant under this Section 4.4 for a particular Landlord’s Statement shall be deemed waived.  Should the final determination reveal a discrepancy in favor of the Tenant in excess of 5% of the total amount set forth in the Landlord’s Statement for that year’s Property Taxes, Operating Expenses, and Direct Reimbursement Expenses, Landlord shall pay any reasonable third party fees associated with such review.

(B)           Tenant acknowledges that Landlord maintains its records for the Building at Landlord’s manager’s corporate offices and Tenant agrees that any review of records under this Section 4.4 shall be at the sole expense of Tenant and shall be conducted by an independent firm of national or regional certified public accountants on a non-contingency basis.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any records reviewed under this Section 4.4 constitute confidential information of Landlord, which shall not be disclosed to anyone other than Tenant, the accountants performing the review and Tenant’s lawyers and real estate advisors.  Tenant shall require each person or entity who is not an employee of Tenant to execute an agreement obligating such person or entity to comply with the nondisclosure requirements of this Section and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to monitor the compliance with such agreement.

4.5           Payment.  Concurrently with the execution hereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord Base Rent for the third calendar month of the Lease Term after the Commencement Date.  Thereafter the Base Rent described in Section 1.7, as adjusted in accordance with Section 4.2, shall be payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month.  If the Commencement Date is other than the first day of a calendar month, the prepaid Base Rent for such partial month shall be prorated in the proportion that the number of days this Lease is in effect during such partial month bears to the total number of days in the calendar month.  All Rent, and all other amounts payable to Landlord by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, shall be paid to Landlord, without notice, demand, abatement, deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States at Landlord’s office in the Building or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may designate

10

from time to time by written notice given to Tenant.  No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the correct Rent due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account; nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed to effect or evidence an accord and satisfaction; and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law or in equity provided.

4.6           Late Charge; Interest.  Tenant acknowledges that the late payment of Base Rent or any other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder (all of which shall constitute additional rental to the same extent as Base Rent) will cause Landlord to incur administrative costs and other damages, the exact amount of which would be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain.  Landlord and Tenant agree that if Landlord does not receive any such payment on or before five (5) days after the date the payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, (a) a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount or $200.00 whichever is greater to cover such additional administrative costs; and (b) interest on the delinquent amounts at the lesser of the maximum rate permitted by law if any or twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date due to the date paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any non-regularly recurring payments under this Lease (i.e., not payments of Monthly Base Rent or other payments made on a monthly basis), Tenant shall be provided written notice and five (5) days to cure such non-regularly recurring payment one (1) time each calendar year prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.

4.7           Additional Rent.  For purposes of this Lease, all amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, whether or not denominated as such, shall constitute additional rental hereunder.  Such additional rental, together with the Base Rent and Rent Adjustments, shall sometimes be referred to in this Lease as “Rent”.

ARTICLE V

SECURITY DEPOSIT

(A)          Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit described in Section 1.9 above in cash or through a Letter of Credit (as hereinafter defined).

(B)           For purposes of this Lease, “Letter of Credit” shall mean an unconditional, irrevocable sight draft letter of credit, drawable in the San Francisco Bay Area, issued by a national bank reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, naming Landlord as beneficiary and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord.  The Letter of Credit shall be for a one (1) year term and shall provide: (i) that Landlord may make partial and multiple draws thereunder; (ii) that if Tenant fails to pay rent or other charges due under the Lease, or otherwise defaults, after applicable notice and cure periods, if any, with respect to any provision of the Lease, or if Landlord is otherwise permitted under the terms of the Lease to draw upon the Letter of Credit, Landlord may at its sole option draw upon the Letter of Credit and the bank will honor a sight draft of Landlord; (iii) that the bank shall honor such draw without inquiry and the bank shall not have the authority, ability, right or discretion to inquire as to the basis for such statement; (iv) that in the event of Landlord’s assignment or other transfer of its interest in the Lease, the Letter of Credit shall be freely transferable by Landlord, one or more times, without charge and without recourse to the Landlord or the assignee or transferee of such interest; (v) that the Letter of Credit is governed by the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 revisions), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500;

11

(vi) that the Letter of Credit will be automatically renewed upon the expiration of its term for additional one (1) year periods, not to extend beyond sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date of the Lease; and, (vii) that if the bank does not confirm the extension of the Letter of Credit at least sixty (60) days prior to the relevant annual expiration date or if Tenant does not substitute a replacement Letter of Credit by such date, or if a Default occurs under the Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit and to hold and apply such funds as an additional Security Deposit in accordance with the terms of the Lease.

(C)           If Landlord draws upon the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s draw deposit with Landlord a cash sum in an amount which when added to the amount available to be drawn under the Letter of Credit equals the amount of the Letter of Credit then required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder.  Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease and entitle Landlord to draw down the entire Letter of Credit.

(D)          The Security Deposit is made by Tenant to secure the faithful performance of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant.  If Tenant shall default with respect to any covenant or provision hereof beyond applicable notice and cure periods, if any, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Security Deposit to cure such default or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.  If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall immediately upon written demand deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount then required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder.  Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit.  Within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to Tenant’s assignee), provided that subsequent to the expiration of this Lease, Landlord may retain from said Security Deposit all amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for any and all defaults by Tenant under the Lease, including post termination damages.  Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect, which provide that Landlord may claim from a Security Deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Article V above and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent, contractor or invitee of Tenant.

Tenant is required to provide Landlord written notice of whether the Alterations include the Handling of any Hazardous Materials and whether these materials are of a customary

18

and typical nature for industry practices.  Upon completion of the Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of as-built plans.  Neither the approval by Landlord of plans and specifications relating to any Alterations nor Landlord’s supervision or monitoring of any Alterations shall constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy of the design for Tenant’s intended use or the proper performance of the Alterations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant may construct non-structural Alterations in the Premises without Landlord’s prior approval but upon prior written notice to Landlord, if the costs of any projects do not exceed Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) and Tenant shall, at the request of Landlord remove such Alterations at the end of the Term.

9.3           Liens.  Tenant shall pay when due all costs for work performed and materials supplied to the Premises.  Tenant shall keep Landlord, the Premises and the Building free from all liens, stop notices and violation notices relating to the Alterations or any other work performed for, materials furnished to or obligations incurred by or for Tenant and Tenant shall protect, indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord, the Premises and the Building of and from any and all loss, cost, damage, liability and expense, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to any such liens or notices.  Further, Tenant shall give Landlord not less than seven (7) business days prior written notice before commencing any Alterations in or about the Premises to permit Landlord to post appropriate notices of non-responsibility.  During the progress of such work, Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s request, furnish Landlord with lien waivers covering all work theretofore performed.  Tenant shall satisfy or otherwise discharge all liens, stop notices or other claims or encumbrances within ten (10) days after Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that any such lien, stop notice, claim or encumbrance has been filed.  If Tenant fails to pay and remove such lien, claim or encumbrance within such ten (10) days, Landlord, at its election, may pay and satisfy the same and in such event the sums so paid by Landlord, with interest from the date of payment at the rate set forth in Section 4.6 hereof for amounts owed Landlord by Tenant shall be deemed to be additional rent due and payable by Tenant within ten (10) days following without notice or demand.

9.4           Lease Termination.  Except as provided in this Section 9.4, upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as existed on the completion of the Work, subject to reasonable wear and tear, casualty, condemnation, Hazardous Materials (other than those released or emitted by Tenant), and alterations or other interior improvements which it is permitted to surrender at the termination of this Lease.  In no event shall Tenant be required to remove Landlord’s Work (as defined in the Work Letter).  All Alterations shall become a part of the Premises

19

and shall become the property of Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, unless Landlord shall, by written notice given to Tenant at the time Landlord consents to such Alterations, require Tenant to remove some or all of Tenant’s Alterations, in which event Tenant shall promptly remove the designated Alterations at the end of the Lease Term and shall promptly repair any resulting damage, all at Tenant’s sole expense.  All business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, furniture, movable partitions and items of personal property owned by Tenant or installed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises shall be and remain the property of Tenant; upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, remove all such items and repair any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal.  If Tenant fails to remove any such items or repair such damage promptly after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Landlord may, but need not, do so with no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof upon demand.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event that Landlord gives its consent, pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1 of this Lease, to allow Tenant to make an Alteration in the Premises, Landlord agrees to notify Tenant in writing at the time of the giving of such consent whether Landlord will require Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, to remove such Alteration at the end of the Lease Term.

(A)          At all times during the Lease Term, Tenant shall procure and maintain, at its sole expense, commercial general liability insurance applying to the use and occupancy of the Premises and the business operated by Tenant in the Premises.  Such insurance shall have a minimum combined single limit of liability of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence and a general aggregate limit of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000).  All such policies shall be written to apply to all bodily injury, property damage, personal injury losses and shall be endorsed to include Landlord and its agents, beneficiaries, partners, employees, and any Mortgagee of Landlord or any ground lessor as additional insureds.  Such liability insurance shall be written as primary policies, not excess or contributing with or secondary to any other insurance as may be available to the additional insureds.

(B)           Landlord shall, at all times during the Lease Term, procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance for the Building in which the Premises are located.  Such insurance shall have minimum combined single limit of liability of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, and a general aggregate limit of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000).

10.5         Workers’ Compensation Insurance.  At all times during the Lease Term, Tenant shall procure and maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of California, and Employer’s Liability insurance with a limit not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) Bodily Injury Each Accident; One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) Bodily Injury By Disease Each Person; and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) Bodily Injury to Disease Policy Limit.

10.6         Policy Requirements.  All insurance required to be maintained by Tenant shall be issued by insurance companies authorized to do insurance business in the State of California and rated not less than AVIII in Best’s Insurance Guide.  A certificate of insurance (or, at Landlord’s option, copies of the applicable policies) evidencing the insurance required under this Article X shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date or the date Tenant enters the Premises for the purpose of installing personal property, and the certificate and/or policy for Tenant’s commercial general liability insurance will name Landlord and the other parties required under Section 10.3(A) as additional insureds.  No such policy shall be subject to cancellation or reduction without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and to any Mortgagee designated by Landlord to Tenant.  Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a replacement certificate with respect to any insurance not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the current policy.  Tenant shall have the right to provide the insurance required by this Article X pursuant to blanket policies, but only if such blanket policies expressly provide coverage to the Premises and Landlord as required by this Lease.

10.7         Waiver of Subrogation.

(A)          Landlord agrees that so long as the same is permitted under the laws of the State of California, it will include in its “All Risk” policies appropriate clauses pursuant to which the insurance companies (i) waive all right of subrogation against Tenant and its employees, agents and visitors with respect to losses payable under such policies (including claims for damage to foundations whether insured or not)

22

and/or (ii) agree that such policies shall not be invalidated should the insured waive in writing prior to a loss any or all right of recovery against any party for losses covered by such policies.  If Landlord is unable to obtain in such policy or policies either of the clauses described in the preceding sentence, Landlord shall, if legally possible and without necessitating a change in insurance carriers, have Tenant named in such policy or policies as an additional insured.  If Tenant shall be named as an additional insured in accordance with the foregoing, Tenant agrees to endorse promptly to the order of Landlord, without recourse, any check, draft, or order for the payment of money representing the proceeds of any such policy or representing any other payment growing out of or connected with said policies, and Tenant does hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights in and to such proceeds and payments.

(B)           Tenant agrees to include so long as the same is permitted under the laws of the State of California, it will include in its “All Risk” insurance policy or policies required under this Lease appropriate clauses pursuant to which the insurance company or companies (i) waive the right of subrogation against Landlord, its employees, agents or visitors with respect to losses payable under such policy or policies and/or (ii) agree that such policy or policies shall not be invalidated should the insured waive in writing prior to a loss any or all right of recovery against any party for losses covered by such policy or policies.  If Tenant is unable to obtain in such policy or policies either of the clauses described in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall, if legally possible and without necessitating a change in insurance carriers, have Landlord named in such policy or policies as an additional insured.  If Landlord shall be named as an additional insured in accordance with the foregoing, Landlord agrees to endorse promptly to the order of Tenant, without recourse, any check, draft, or order for the payment of money representing the proceeds of any such policy or representing any other payment growing out of or connected with said policies, and Landlord does hereby irrevocably waive any and all rights in and to such proceeds and payments.

(C)           Landlord hereby waives any and all right of recovery which it might otherwise have against Tenant, its servants, agents and employees, for loss or damage occurring to the Real Property and the fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein, to the extent the same arises from a risk or peril that is required to be insured against under a property insurance policy or policies Landlord is required to maintain pursuant to this Lease, notwithstanding that such loss or damage may result from the negligence or fault of Tenant, its servants, agents or employees.  Tenant hereby waives any and all right of recovery which it might otherwise have against Landlord, its servants, and employees, for loss or damage occurring to any item which Tenant is required to insure hereunder to the extent the same arises from a risk or peril that is required to be insured against under a property insurance policy or policies Tenant is required to maintain pursuant to this Lease, notwithstanding that such loss or damage may result from the negligence or fault of Landlord, its servants, agents or employees.

(D)          The waivers in this Section 10.7 shall apply whether or not the parties are able to obtain such waivers in their respective insurance policies.  Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to advise the other promptly if the clauses to be included in their respective insurance policies pursuant to subparagraphs (A) and (B) above cannot be obtained on the terms hereinbefore provided and thereafter to furnish the other with a certificate of insurance or copy of such policies showing the naming of the other as an additional insured, as aforesaid.  Landlord and Tenant hereby also agree to notify the other promptly of any cancellation or change of the terms of any such policy that would affect such clauses or naming.  All such policies which name both Landlord and Tenant as additional insureds shall, to the extent obtainable, contain agreements by the insurers to the effect that no act or omission of any additional insured will invalidate the policy as to the other additional insureds.

23

10.8         Failure to Insure.  If Tenant fails to maintain any insurance which Tenant is required to maintain pursuant to this Article X, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any loss or cost resulting from such failure to maintain, Tenant may not self-insure against any risks required to be covered by insurance without Landlord’s prior written consent.

10.9         Exemption of Landlord from Liability.  Landlord shall not be liable for injury to Tenant’s business, or loss of income therefrom, or, except in connection with damage or injury resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or its authorized agents, for damage that may be sustained by the person, goods, wares, merchandise or property of Tenant, its employees, invitees, customers, agents, or contractors, or any other person in, on or about the Premises directly or indirectly caused by or resulting from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water, or rain which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, light fixtures, or mechanical or electrical systems or from intrabuilding network cable, whether such damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Building or from other sources or places and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Tenant.  Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant of the Building.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s election to provide mechanical surveillance or to post security personnel in the Building is solely within Landlord’s discretion; Landlord shall have no liability in connection with the decision whether or not to provide such services and Tenant hereby waives all claims based thereon.  Landlord shall not be liable for losses due to theft, vandalism or like causes.

ARTICLE XI

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

11.1         Total Destruction.  Except as provided in Section 11.3 below, this Lease shall automatically terminate if the Building is totally destroyed.

11.2         Partial Destruction of Premises.  If the Premises are damaged by any casualty and in Landlord’s opinion, the Premises (exclusive of any Alterations made to the Premises by Tenant) can be restored to its preexisting condition within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date of the damage or destruction, Landlord shall, upon written notice from Tenant to Landlord of such damage, except as provided in Section 11.3, promptly and with due diligence repair any damage to the Premises (exclusive of any Alterations to the Premises made by Tenant, which shall be promptly repaired by Tenant at its sole expense) and, until such repairs are completed, the Rent shall be abated from the date of damage or destruction in the same proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises which is unusable by Tenant in the conduct of its business bears to the total rentable area of the Premises.  The cost of such repair shall be paid by Landlord or allocated as an Operating Expense as and to the extent provided in this Lease.  If such repairs cannot, in Landlord’s opinion, be made within said two hundred seventy (270) day period, then Landlord may, at its option, exercisable by written notice given to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the damage or destruction, elect to make the repairs within a reasonable time after the damage or destruction, in which event this Lease shall remain in full force and effect but the Rent shall be abated as provided in the preceding sentence; if Landlord does not so elect to make the repairs, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right, by written notice given to the other within sixty (60) days after the date of the damage or destruction, to terminate this Lease as of the date of the damage or destruction.

24

11.3                           Exceptions to Landlord’s Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI, Landlord shall have no obligation to repair the Premises if either: (a) there is an uninsured casualty or partially insured casualty and the Building in which the Premises are located is so damaged as to require repairs to the Building exceeding ten (10%) of the full insurable value of the Building; or (b) Landlord elects to demolish the Building in which the Premises are located; or (c) the damage or destruction occurs less than one (1) year prior to the Expiration Date and Tenant does not elect to exercise its Renewal Option at that time.  Further, Tenant’s Rent shall not be abated if Tenant, or any officers, managers, members, partners, employees, agents or invitees, or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant, is, in whole or in part, responsible for the damage or destruction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no lender or mortgagee shall have any obligation to restore any damage except to the extent of insurance proceeds actually received by it.

11.4                           Waiver.  The provisions contained in this Lease shall supersede any contrary laws (whether statutory, common law or otherwise) now or hereafter in effect relating to damage, destruction, self-help or termination.  With respect to any damage which Landlord is obligated to repair or elects to repair, Tenant, as a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease, irrevocably waives and releases its rights under the provisions of Sections 1932 and 1933 of the California Civil Code.

ARTICLE XII

CONDEMNATION

12.1                           Taking.  If the entire Premises or so much of the Premises as to render the balance unusable by Tenant shall be taken by condemnation, sale in lieu of condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public purpose (collectively “Condemnation”), and if Landlord, at its option, is unable or unwilling to provide substitute premises containing at least as much rentable area as described in Section 1.2 above, then this Lease shall terminate on the date that title or possession to the Premises is taken by the condemning authority, whichever is earlier.  Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

12.2                           Award.  In the event of any Condemnation, the entire award for such taking shall belong to Landlord.  Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the award for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease or otherwise.  Tenant shall be entitled to independently pursue a separate award in a separate proceeding for Tenant’s relocation costs directly associated with the taking and for the taking of personal property or trade fixtures, provided such separate award does not diminish Landlord’s award.

12.3                           Temporary Taking.  No temporary taking of the Premises shall terminate this Lease or entitle Tenant to any abatement of the Rent payable to Landlord under this Lease; provided, further, that any award for such temporary taking shall belong to Tenant to the extent that the award applies to any time period during the Lease Term and to Landlord to the extent that the award applies to any time period outside the Lease Term.

ARTICLE XIV

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.1                           Restriction.

(A)                              Without the prior written consent of Landlord, Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, encumber, or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest herein, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than Tenant or Tenant’s employees (any such assignment, encumbrance, subletting, occupation or transfer is hereinafter referred to as a “Transfer”), subject, however, to the terms and conditions of this Article XIV, which terms and conditions Tenant and Landlord agree are reasonable.  An assignment, subletting or other action in violation of the foregoing shall be void and, at Landlord’s option, shall constitute a material breach of this Lease.

(B)                                So long as Tenant is not entering into a transaction described herein for the purpose of avoiding or otherwise circumventing the remaining terms of this Article, Tenant may, subject to Section 14.2, assign its entire interest under this Lease or sublease all or a portion of the Premises, without the consent of Landlord and without complying with the provisions of Section 14.3 and 14.5 below (each, a “Permitted Transferee”), to (i) an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) a successor to Tenant by purchase or other acquisition of Tenant’s capital stock or substantially all of Tenant’s assets, merger, consolidation or reorganization, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is no pending Event of Default under this Lease with respect to Tenant; (2) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least five (5) days prior to the effective date of the proposed transfer together with the information required hereunder and such entity shall expressly assume Tenant’s obligations hereunder; and (3) with respect to a purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization which results in Tenant ceasing to exist as a separate legal entity, Tenant’s successor shall have a net worth equal to Tenant’s net worth at the date immediately prior to such transfer. For purposes of this provision, the term “Affiliate” shall mean any corporation or other entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with (directly or indirectly) Tenant, including, without limitation, any parent corporation controlling Tenant or any subsidiary that Tenant controls.  The term “control,” as used herein, shall mean the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the controlled entity through the ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities in such controlled entity.

(C)                                Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article XIV to the contrary, Tenant expressly covenants and agrees not to enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement for use, occupancy or utilization of the Premises which provides for rental or other payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based in whole or in part on the net income or profits derived by any person from the property leased, used, occupied or utilized (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales), and that any such purported lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement shall be absolutely void and ineffective as a conveyance of any right or interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of any part of the Premises.

26

14.2                           Notice to Landlord.  If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or any interest herein, or to sublet all or any part of the Premises, then at least thirty (30) days but not more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the effective date of the proposed assignment or subletting, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in connection with Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent:

(A)                              A statement containing (i) the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (ii) such financial information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant as Landlord shall reasonably require; (iii) the type of use proposed for the Premises; and (iv) all of the principal terms of the proposed assignment or subletting; and

(B)                                Four (4) originals of the assignment or sublease on a form approved by Landlord and four (4) originals of the Landlord’s Consent to Sublease or Assignment and Assumption of Lease and Consent.

14.3                           Landlord’s Recapture Rights.  At any time within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of all (but not less than all) of the information and documents described in Section 14.2 above, Landlord may, at its option by written notice to Tenant, elect to: (a) sublease the Premises or the portion thereof proposed to be sublet by Tenant upon the same terms as those offered to the proposed subtenant if the proposed sublease is for more than 51% of the Premises or for substantially all of the remaining Term; (b) take an assignment of the Lease upon the same terms as those offered to the proposed assignee; or (c) terminate the Lease in its entirety or as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be assigned or sublet if the proposed sublease is for more than 51% of the Premises or for substantially all of the remaining Term, with a proportionate adjustment in the Rent payable hereunder if the Lease is terminated as to less than all of the Premises.  If Landlord does not exercise any of the options described in the preceding sentence, then, during the above-described twenty (20) day period, Landlord shall either consent or deny its consent to the proposed assignment or subletting.

14.4                           Landlord’s Consent; Standards.  Landlord’s consent to a proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld, and without limiting the foregoing, Landlord’s consent shall be deemed reasonably withheld if, in Landlord’s good faith judgment: (i) the proposed assignee or subtenant may not have the financial strength to perform its obligations under this Lease or any proposed sublease; (ii) the business and operations of the proposed assignee or subtenant are not of comparable quality or image to the business and operations being conducted by other tenants in the Building; (iii) the proposed assignee or subtenant intends to use any part of the Premises for a purpose not permitted under this Lease; (iv) Landlord has vacant space in the Building and the proposed assignee or subtenant, or any person which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the proposed assignee or subtenant occupies space in the Building; (v) the proposed assignee or subtenant is disreputable; (vi) the use of the Premises or the Building by the proposed assignee or subtenant would, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, impact the Building in a negative manner including but not limited to significantly increasing the pedestrian traffic in and out of the Building or requiring any alterations to the Building to comply with applicable laws; (vii) the transferee is a government (or agency or instrumentality thereof); or (viii) an Event of Default is pending at the time Tenant requests consent to the proposed Transfer.

14.5                           Additional Rent.  If Landlord consents to any such assignment or subletting, fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which all sums or other economic consideration received by Tenant attributable to such assignment or subletting, whether denominated as rental or otherwise, exceeds, in the aggregate, the total sum which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to

27

less than all of the Premises under a sublease) less Assignment and Subletting Costs (as hereinafter defined) shall be paid to Landlord promptly after receipt as additional Rent under the Lease without affecting or reducing any other obligation of Tenant hereunder. “Assignment or Subletting Costs” shall mean (x) any reasonable brokerage commissions paid by Tenant in connection with the subletting or assignment, and (y) the cost of any Alterations made by Tenant to the space which is the subject of the assignment or sublet to prepare the same for the assignee’s or subtenant’s occupancy and (z) reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment or subletting.

14.6                           Landlord’s Costs.  If Tenant shall Transfer this Lease or all or any part of the Premises or shall request the consent of Landlord to any Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent Landlord’s reasonable costs related thereto, including Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and an administration fee to Landlord of Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00).

14.7                           Continuing Liability of Tenant.  Notwithstanding any Transfer, Tenant shall remain as fully and primarily liable for the payment of Rent and for the performance of all other obligations of Tenant contained in this Lease to the same extent as if the Transfer had not occurred; provided, however, that any act or omission of any transferee, other than Landlord, that violates the terms of this Lease shall be deemed a violation of this Lease by Tenant.

14.8                           Non-Waiver.  The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not relieve Tenant, or any person claiming through or by Tenant, of the obligation to obtain the consent of Landlord, pursuant to this Article XIV, to any further Transfer.  In the event of an assignment or subletting, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee or the subtenant without waiving any rights hereunder and collection of the rent from a person other than Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights under this Article XIV, an acceptance of assignee or subtenant as Tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.  If an Event of Default occurs with respect to Tenant, Landlord is irrevocably authorized to direct any transferee to make all payments under or in connection with the Transfer directly to Landlord (which Landlord shall apply towards Tenant’s obligations under this Lease) until such default is cured.

ARTICLE XV

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

15.1                           Events of Default By Tenant.  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant (“an Event of Default”).

(A)                              The failure by Tenant to pay Base Rent or make any other payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder as and when due; provided, however that Tenant shall have one five (5) day grace period in every calendar year in which to pay such Base Rent prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(B)                                The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than those described in Sections 15.1(A) and 15.1(B) above, if such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that it cannot be cured within the thirty (30) day period, no default shall

28

exist if Tenant commences the curing of the default within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion and completes the same within sixty (60) days.

(C)                                The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, the filing by or against Tenant of a petition under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days after filing); the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets at the Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises, when possession is not restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days; or the attachment, execution or other seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises, if such seizure is not discharged within sixty (60) days.

(D)                               Any material misrepresentation herein, or material misrepresentation or omission in any financial statements or other materials provided by Tenant or any Guarantor to Landlord.

Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s compliance with this Section 15.1.

15.2                           Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant as provided in Section 15.1, Landlord may exercise all of its remedies as may be permitted by law, including but not limited to the remedy provided by Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code, and including without limitation, terminating this Lease, reentering the Premises and removing all persons and property therefrom in accordance with applicable law, which property may be stored by Landlord at a warehouse or elsewhere at the risk, expense and for the account of Tenant.  If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant the aggregate of all amounts permitted by law, including but not limited to (i) the worth at the time of award of the amount of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) 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 Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all of the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, reasonable expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant; and (v) at Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law. The term “rent” as used in this Section 15.2 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others.  As used in items (i) and (ii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate set forth in Section 15.4 below, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by law.  As used in item (iii), above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

15.3                           Landlord’s Right To Continue Lease Upon Tenant Default.  Landlord shall have the remedy described in Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code (that is, Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, because Tenant has the right to

29

sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).  Even though Tenant has breached this Lease and abandoned the Premises, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant’s right to possession, and Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies as Rent becomes due under this Lease.  Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord’s interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant’s right to possession, and this Lease will not be deemed terminated unless and until Landlord delivers notice to Tenant expressly stating Landlord’s intention to terminate this Lease.

15.4                           Right of Landlord to Perform.  Except as expressly provided in this Lease to the contrary, all covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  If Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money, other than Rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder in each case subject to applicable notice and cure periods, if any, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any payment or perform any such other act on Tenant’s part to be made or performed, without waiving or releasing Tenant of its obligations under this Lease.  Any sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs, together with interest thereon at the lesser of the maximum rate permitted by law if any or twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of such payment, shall be payable to Landlord as additional rent on demand and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies in the event of nonpayment as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Rent.

15.5                           Non-Waiver.  Nothing in this Article shall be deemed to affect Landlord’s rights to indemnification for liability or liabilities arising prior to termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises for personal injury or property damages under the indemnification clause or clauses contained in this Lease.  No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the Rent then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such rent due, and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any agreement, condition, or provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted; regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in the Lease provided.  The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or to Landlord’s agent or any employee thereof shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises.  The waiver by Landlord of any agreement, condition or provision contained in this Lease will not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other agreement, condition, or provision contained in this Lease; nor will any custom or practice that may grow up between the parties in the administration of the terms of this Lease be construed to waive or to lessen the right of Landlord to insist upon the performance by Tenant in strict accordance with the terms of this Lease.

15.6                           Cumulative Remedies.  The specific remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of the Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which it may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions of the Lease.  In addition to the other remedies provided in the Lease, including the right to terminate this Lease or to terminate Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises and reenter and repossess the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises without terminating this Lease as provided in Section 15.2, Landlord shall be entitled to a restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of the Lease or to a decree compelling specific

30

performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions.  Exercise of any of the remedies described in this Article XV will not prevent the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other remedy provided for in this Lease or otherwise available to Landlord at law or in equity.

15.7                           Default by Landlord.  Landlord’s failure to perform or observe any of its obligations under this Lease shall constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease only if such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days (or the additional time, if any, that is reasonably necessary to promptly and diligently cure the failure) after Landlord receives written notice from Tenant specifying the default.  The notice shall give in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure and shall identify the Lease provision(s) containing the obligation(s).  If Landlord shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease (after notice and opportunity to cure as provided herein), Tenant may pursue any remedies available to it under the law and this Lease, except that in no event shall Landlord be liable for punitive damages, lost profits, business interruption, speculative, consequential or other such damages.

ARTICLE XVI

ATTORNEYS’ FEES; COSTS OF SUIT

16.1                           Attorneys’ Fees.  If either Landlord or Tenant shall commence any action or other proceeding against the other arising out of, or relating to, this Lease or the Premises, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party, in addition to any other relief, its actual attorneys’ fees irrespective of whether or not the action or other proceeding is prosecuted to judgment and irrespective of any court schedule of reasonable attorneys’ fees.  In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in collecting Rent or otherwise seeking enforcement against Tenant, its sublessees and assigns, of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

16.2                           Indemnification.  Should Landlord be made a party to any litigation instituted by Tenant against a party other than Landlord, or by a third party against Tenant, except as expressly provided in Section 10.1(B) or otherwise in this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from any and all loss, cost, liability, damage or expense incurred by Landlord, including attorneys’ fees, in connection with the litigation.

ARTICLE XVII

SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

17.1                           Subordination.  This Lease, and the rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate to the interests of (i) all present and future ground leases and master leases of all or any part of the Building; (ii) present and future mortgages and deeds of trust encumbering all or any part of the Building; (iii) all past and future advances made under any such mortgages or deeds of trust; and (iv) all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of any such ground leases, master leases, mortgages and deeds of trust; provided, however, that any lessor under any such ground lease or master lease or any mortgagee or beneficiary under any such mortgage or deed of trust (any such lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary is hereinafter referred to as a “Mortgagee”) shall have the right to elect, by written notice given to Tenant, to have this Lease made superior in whole or in part to any such ground lease, master lease, mortgage or deed of trust (or subject and subordinate to such ground lease, master lease, mortgage or deed of trust but superior to any

31

junior mortgage or junior deed of trust).  Upon demand, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments reasonably requested by Landlord or any such Mortgagee to effect the purposes of this Section 17.1.  Such instruments may contain, among other things, provisions to the effect that such Mortgagee (hereafter, for the purposes of this Article XVII, a “Successor Landlord”) shall (a) not be liable for any act or omission of Landlord or its predecessors, if any, prior to the date of such Successor Landlord’s succession to Landlord’s interest under this Lease (provided that such Successor Landlord shall cure any existing defaults of which it is provided notice after such foreclosure); (b) not be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have been able to assert against Landlord or its predecessors, if any, prior to the date of such Successor Landlord’s succession to Landlord’s interest under this Lease; (c) not be liable for the return of any Security Deposit under the Lease unless the same shall have actually been deposited with such Successor Landlord; (d) be entitled to receive notice of any Landlord default under this Lease plus a reasonable opportunity to cure such default prior to Tenant having any right or ability to terminate this Lease as a result of such Landlord default; (e) not be bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to Landlord; (f) not be bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease or any cancellation or surrender of the same made without Successor Landlord’s prior written consent; and (g) not be bound by any obligation under the Lease to perform any work or to make any improvements to the demised Premises.  Any obligations of any Successor Landlord under its respective lease shall be nonrecourse as to any assets of such Successor Landlord other than its interest in the Premises and improvements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) Landlord shall obtain a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E from any Mortgagee on the Property as of the Commencement Date and (y) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement from any future Mortgagees on the Property on such lender’s then standard form of Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement but such receipt of such an agreement shall not be a condition of the subordination of this Lease by Tenant to such mortgage.

17.2                           Attornment.  If the interests of Landlord under the Lease shall be transferred to any superior Mortgagee or other person taking title to the Building by reason of the termination of any superior lease or the foreclosure of any superior mortgage or deed of trust or any other purchaser or transferee of such interests of Landlord, Tenant shall be bound to such Successor Landlord under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof remaining and any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance with any option therefor in the Lease, with the same force and effect as if Successor Landlord were the landlord under the Lease, and Tenant shall attorn to and recognize as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease such Successor Landlord, as its landlord, said attornment to be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments upon Successor Landlord’s succeeding to the interest of Landlord under the Lease.  Tenant shall, upon demand, execute any documents reasonably requested by any such person to evidence the attornment described in this Section 17.2.

17.3                           Mortgagee Protection.  Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagee, by registered or certified mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord by Tenant, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise) of the address of such Mortgagee (hereafter the “Notified Party”).  Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within thirty (30) days after such notice to Landlord (or if such default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if Landlord has commenced within such thirty (30) days and is diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such default), then the Notified Party shall have an additional thirty (30) days

32

within which to cure or correct such default (or if such default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if the Notified Party has commenced within such thirty (30) days and is diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such default).  Until the time allowed, as aforesaid, for the Notified Party to cure such default has expired without cure, Tenant shall have no right to, and shall not, terminate this Lease on account of Landlord’s default.

ARTICLE XVIII

QUIET ENJOYMENT

Provided that Tenant performs all of its obligations hereunder within applicable notice and cure periods, if any, Tenant shall have and peaceably enjoy the Premises during the Lease Term free of claims by or through Landlord, subject to all of the terms and conditions contained in this Lease.

ARTICLE XX

ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

33

agreement or condition contained in this Lease; or any other matter relating to this Lease or the Premises or, if so, specifying each such default. If there is a Guaranty under this Lease, said Guarantor shall confirm the validity of the Guaranty by joining in the execution of the Estoppel Certificate or other documents so requested by Landlord or Mortgagee.  In addition, in the event that such certificate is being given to any Mortgagee, such statement may contain any other provisions customarily required by such Mortgagee including, without limitation, an agreement on the part of Tenant to furnish to such Mortgagee, written notice of any Landlord default and a reasonable opportunity for such Mortgagee to cure such default prior to Tenant being able to terminate this Lease.  Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by Landlord or any Mortgagee, or prospective purchaser to whom it is addressed and such statement, if required by its addressee, may so specifically state.

ARTICLE XXI

ENTRY BY LANDLORD

Landlord may enter the Premises at all reasonable times to: inspect the same; exhibit the same to prospective purchasers, Mortgagees or tenants; determine whether Tenant is complying with all of its obligations under this Lease; supply janitorial and other services to be provided by Landlord to Tenant under this Lease; post notices of non-responsibility; and make repairs or improvements in or to the Building or the Premises; provided, however, that all such work shall be done as promptly as reasonably possible and so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible.  Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to, or interference with, Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises or any other loss occasioned by such entry.  Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, on or about the Premises (excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and similar areas designated by Tenant in writing in advance), and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means by which Landlord may deem proper to open such doors to obtain entry to the Premises, and any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any such means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances be deemed or construed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into or a detainer of the Premises or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from any part of the Premises.  Such entry by Landlord shall not act as a termination of Tenant’s duties under this Lease.  If Landlord shall be required to obtain entry by means other than a key provided by Tenant, the cost of such entry shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent.  Any entry by Landlord and Landlord’s agents shall comply with Tenant’s reasonable security measures.

ARTICLE XXIII

HOLDOVER TENANCY

Nothing contained herein will be construed to give Tenant the right to hold over at any time, and Landlord may exercise any and all remedies at law or in equity to recover possession of the Premises, as well as any damages incurred by Landlord due to Tenant’s failure to vacate and deliver possession to Landlord as provided herein.  If Tenant holds possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance upon all of the terms contained herein, except as to Rent.  During such holdover period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the first day of each applicable month, a monthly rental equivalent to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord with respect to the last month of the Lease Term.  The monthly rent payable for such holdover period shall in no event be construed as a penalty or as liquidated damages for such retention of possession.  Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, its beneficiary, and their respective agents, contractors and employees, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, actions, losses, damages (including, without limitation, direct, indirect, incidental and consequential) and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) asserted against or sustained by any such party and arising from or by reason of such retention of possession, which obligations shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease Term.

ARTICLE XXVI

COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER LINES

26.1         Generally.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all telephone and telecommunications services (“Telecommunications Services”) desired by Tenant shall be ordered and utilized at the sole expense of Tenant.  Unless Landlord otherwise requests or consents in writing, all equipment, apparatus and devices, including without limitation wiring and cables, for the provisions of Telecommunications Services, as well as Tenant’s computer and data wiring and cabling (collectively, the “Telecommunications Equipment”) shall be and remain solely in the Premises.  Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing, Landlord shall have no responsibility for the maintenance of Tenant’s Telecommunications Equipment, nor for any wiring or other infrastructure to which Tenant’s Telecommunications Equipment may be connected.  Tenant agrees that, to the extent any Telecommunications Services are interrupted, curtailed or discontinued, Landlord shall have no obligation or liability with respect thereto except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, and it shall be the sole obligation of Tenant, at its sole expense, to obtain substitute service.  Tenant shall not be entitled to any rent abatement and the Commencement Date of this Lease shall not be delayed due to Tenants inability to obtain telecommunication services.

26.2         Interruption.  Landlord shall have the right, upon such notice as is practicable in the case of emergencies, and otherwise upon at least two (2) business days prior notice to Tenant, to interrupt or turn off telecommunications facilities in the event of emergency or as necessary in connection with repairs to the Building or installation of telecommunications equipment for other tenants of the Building.  Any such interruption shall be after Business Hours, if commercially reasonable, and shall not impair Tenant’s operations more than reasonably necessary.

26.3         Removal.  Any and all Telecommunications Equipment installed in the Premises, or elsewhere in the Building by or on behalf of Tenant, including wiring and other facilities for the provision of

36

Telecommunications Services, shall be removed by Tenant upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, at its sole expense using a contractor reasonably approved by Landlord.

26.4         Abandonment.  If the Telecommunications Equipment is not removed within thirty (30) days of the termination or expiration of this Lease, the Telecommunications Equipment shall conclusively be deemed to have been abandoned and may be removed, appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed, otherwise disposed of, or retained and used, by Landlord without notice to Tenant, without obligation to account therefore, and without payment to Tenant or credit against any amount due from Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand all costs of any such removal, disposition and storage of the Telecommunication Equipment, as well as all costs to repair any damage to the Building caused by such removal.  The obligations within this Section 26.4 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

26.5         New Providers.  In the event that Tenant wishes at any time to utilize the services of a telephone or telecommunications provider whose equipment is not then servicing the Building (a “New Provider”), no such New Provider shall be permitted to install its lines or other equipment within the Building without first securing the prior written approval of the Landlord, which approval may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion.  Landlord’s approval shall not be deemed any kind of warranty or representation by Landlord, including, without limitation, any warranty or representation as to the suitability, competence or financial strength of the New Provider.  Without limitation of Landlord’s right to withhold consent in its reasonable discretion, Landlord may refuse to give its approval unless all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) Landlord shall incur no expense whatsoever with respect to any aspect of the New Provider’s provision of its services, including, without limitation, the cost of installation, materials and services; (ii) prior to commencement of any work in or about the Building by the New Provider, the New Provider shall supply Landlord with such written indemnities, insurance, financial statements, and such other items as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, determines to be necessary to protect its financial interest and the interests of the Building related to the proposed activities of the New Provider; (iii) the New Provider agrees in writing to abide by such rules and regulations, building and other codes, job site rules and such other requirements as are determined by Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be necessary to protect the interest of the Building, the tenants in the Building and Landlord; (iv) Landlord determines, in its reasonable discretion, that there is sufficient space in the Building for the placement of all of the New Provider’s equipment and materials; and (v) all of the foregoing matters are documented in a written agreement between Landlord and the New Provider, the form and content of which are satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion.  Notwithstanding any provision of the preceding subsection to the contrary, the reasonable refusal of Landlord the grant its approval to any New Provider shall not be deemed a default or breach by Landlord of its obligation under this Lease, and in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease or claim entitlement to rent abatement for Landlord’s reasonable refusals to grant Tenant’s request for approval of a New Provider.  The provisions of this Article XXVI may be enforced solely by Tenant and Landlord and are not for the benefit of any other party.  Specifically, but without limitation, no telephone or telecommunications provider is intended to be, nor shall be deemed, a third party beneficiary of this Lease.

38

27.10       Interpretation.  Tenant acknowledges that it has read and reviewed this Lease and that it has had the opportunity to confer with counsel in the negotiation of this Lease.  Accordingly, this Lease shall be construed neither for nor against Landlord or Tenant, but shall be given a fair and reasonable interpretation in accordance with the meaning of its terms and the intent of the parties.

27.16       Offer to Lease.  The submission of this Lease to Tenant or its broker or other agent, does not constitute an offer to Tenant to lease the Premises.  This Lease shall have no force and effect until (a) it is executed and delivered by Tenant to Landlord and (b) it is fully reviewed and executed by Landlord; provided, however, that, upon execution of this Lease by Tenant and delivery to Landlord, such execution and delivery by Tenant shall, in consideration of the time and expense incurred by Landlord in reviewing the Lease and Tenant’s credit, constitute an offer by Tenant to Lease the Premises upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (which offer to Lease shall be irrevocable for twenty (20) business days following the date of delivery).

27.17       Choice of Laws; Waiver of Jury Trial.  In addition, Tenant hereby submits to local jurisdiction in the State of California and agrees that any action by Tenant against Landlord shall be instituted in the State of California and that Landlord shall have personal jurisdiction over Tenant for any action brought by Landlord against Tenant in the State of California.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INCLUDING ANY LAW ENACTED AFTER THE LEASE DATE, TENANT AND LANDLORD HEREBY, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION WHATSOEVER BROUGHT BY LANDLORD OR TENANT UNDER OR IN RESPECT OF THIS LEASE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY AND ALL COUNTERCLAIMS.  THE FOREGOING WAIVER HAS BEEN A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LANDLORD’S AND TENANT’S ENTERING INTO THIS LEASE.

27.18       Electrical Service to the Premises.  Anything set forth in Section 7.1 or elsewhere in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, electricity to the Premises shall not be furnished by Landlord, but shall

39

be furnished by the approved electric utility company serving the Building.  Landlord shall permit Tenant to receive such service directly from such utility company at Tenant’s cost (except as otherwise provided herein) and shall permit Landlord’s wire and conduits, to the extent available, suitable and safely capable, to be used for such purposes.

27.19       Rights Reserved by Landlord.  Landlord reserves the following rights exercisable without notice (except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease) and without being deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises or giving rise to any claim for setoff or abatement of Rent: (i) to change the name or street address of the Building; (ii) to install, affix and maintain all signs on the exterior and/or interior of the Building; (iii) to designate and/or approve prior to installation, all types of signs, window shades, blinds, drapes, awnings or other similar items, and all internal lighting that may be visible from the exterior of the Premises; (iv) to change the arrangement of entrances, doors, corridors, elevators and/or stairs in the Building, provided no such change shall materially adversely affect access to the Premises; (v) to grant any party the exclusive right to conduct any business or render any service in the Building, provided such exclusive right shall not operate to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises for the purposes permitted under this Lease; (vi) to prohibit the placement of vending or dispensing machines of any kind in or about the Premises other than for use by Tenant’s employees; (vii) to prohibit the placement of video or other electronic games in the Premises; (viii) to have access for Landlord and other tenants of the Building to any mail chutes and boxes located in or on the Premises according to the rules of the United States Post Office and to discontinue any mail chute business in the Building; (ix) to close the Building after normal business hours, except that Tenant and its employees and invitees shall be entitled to admission at all times under such rules and regulations as Landlord prescribes for security purposes; (x) to install, operate and maintain security systems which monitor, by close circuit television or otherwise, all persons entering or leaving the Building; (xi) to install and maintain pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and structural elements located in the Premises which serve other parts or other tenants of the Building; and (xii) to retain at all times master keys or pass keys to the Premises.  In exercising any of the foregoing rights, Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises or Tenant’s parking rights and shall not materially increase the obligations or materially decrease the rights of Tenant under this Lease.

27.20       No Recordation.  Tenant shall not record this Lease or any memorandum or short form of it.

27.21       No Merger.  The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or the cancellation of this Lease by mutual agreement of Tenant and Landlord or the termination of this Lease on account of Tenant’s default will not work a merger, and will, at Landlord’s option, (a) terminate all or any subleases and subtenancies or (b) operate as an assignment to Landlord of all or any subleases or subtenancies.  Landlord’s option under this Section 27.21 will be exercised by written notice to Tenant and all known sublessees or subtenants in the Premises or any part of the Premises.

27.22       Tax Credits.  Landlord is entitled to claim all tax credits and depreciation attributable to leasehold improvements installed or paid for by Landlord in the Premises.  Promptly after Landlord’s demand, Landlord and Tenant will prepare a detailed list of the leasehold improvements and fixtures and their respective costs for which Landlord or Tenant has paid.  Landlord will be entitled to all credits and depreciation for those items for which Landlord has paid by means of any tenant finish allowance or otherwise.  Tenant will be entitled to any tax credits and depreciation for all items for which Tenant has paid with funds not provided by Landlord.

40

27.23       Financial Reports.  Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s request, Tenant will furnish Tenant’s most recent audited financial statements (including any notes to them) to Landlord, or, if no such audited statements have been prepared, such other financial statements (and notes to them) as may have been prepared by an independent certified public accountant or, if those are not so prepared, Tenant’s internally prepared financial statements.  Tenant will discuss its financial statements with Landlord and will give Landlord access to Tenant’s books and records in order to enable Landlord to verify the financial statements.  Landlord will not disclose any aspect of Tenant’s financial statements that Tenant designates to Landlord as confidential except (a) to Landlord’s lenders or prospective purchasers of the project, (b) in litigation between Landlord and Tenant, and (c) if required by court order.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not apply during any period during the Term when the Tenant under the Lease is a publicly listed entity.

27.24       Presumption.  In all cases hereunder, and in any suit, action or proceeding of any kind between the parties, it shall be presumptive evidence of the fact of the existence of a charge being due, if Landlord shall produce a bill, notice or certificate to the effect that such charge appears of record on the books in Landlord’s office or appears as an open charge on the books, records or official bills of municipal authorities, and has not been paid.

27.25       Confidentiality.  Tenant acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Lease are to remain confidential for Landlord’s benefit, and may not be disclosed by Tenant to anyone, by any manner or means, directly or indirectly, without Landlord’s prior written consent; provided, however that this Lease may be disclosed to Tenant’s attorneys, accountants, real estate advisors and otherwise as may be required by law or legal process.  The consent by Landlord to any disclosures shall not be deemed to be a waiver on the part of Landlord of any prohibition against any future disclosure.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend upon request, and hold Landlord harmless from and against all costs, damages, claims, liabilities, expenses, losses, court costs, and attorney’s fees suffered or claimed against Landlord to the extent based upon the breach of this Section 27.25 by Tenant.  The obligations within this Section 27.25, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

27.26       Parking.  Tenant may rent from Landlord or its parking operator, commencing on the Commencement Date, the number of unreserved parking spaces set forth in Section 1.16, which parking passes shall pertain to the Building’s subterranean garage which may be operated on a valet basis.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord or its parking operator for automobile parking passes the prevailing rate charged from time to time at the Building.  In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for the full amount of any taxes imposed by any governmental authority in connection with the renting of such parking passes by Tenant or the use of the parking facility by Tenant.  Tenant’s continued right to use the parking passes is conditioned upon Tenant abiding by all rules and regulations which are prescribed from time to time for the orderly operation and use of the Building’s parking facility, including any slicker or other identification system established by Landlord or its parking operator, and Tenant not being in default under this Lease.  Landlord specifically reserves the right to change the size, configuration, design, layout and all other aspects of the Building’s parking facility at any time and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, without incurring any liability to Tenant and without any abatement of Rent under this Lease, from time to time, close off or restrict access to the Building’s parking facility for purposes of permitting or facilitating any such construction, alteration or improvements, provided that the number of parking spaces that Tenant is entitled to under this Lease is not reduced.  Landlord may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to a parking operator or a lessee of the parking facility, in which ease such parking operator or lessee shall have all the rights of control attributed hereby to Landlord.  The parking passes rented by Tenant pursuant to this Section 27.27 are provided to Tenant solely

WORK LETTER

For and in consideration of the agreement to lease the Premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and in the Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

1.             Base Building Work; Tenant’s Initial Plans; the Work.

a.             Landlord shall perform at its sole cost and expense, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or this Work Letter, the Base Building Work more particularly described in Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Base Building Work”).  Such work shall be completed prior to the Commencement Date.

b.             Tenant desires Landlord to perform certain leasehold improvement work in the Premises in substantial accordance with the plan or plans (collectively, the “Initial Plans”) prepared by Hooks ASD dated March 3, 2008, a copy or copies of which is/are attached hereto as Schedule 2.  The Base Building Work and such work, as shown in the Initial Plans and as more fully detailed in the Working Drawings (as defined and described in Paragraph 2 below), shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Landlord’s Work”.  Not later than March 14, 2008, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord such additional plans, drawings, specifications and finish details as Landlord may reasonably request to enable Landlord’s architects and engineers to prepare mechanical, electrical and plumbing plans and to prepare the Working Drawings, including a final telephone layout and special electrical connection requirements, if any.  All plans, drawings, specifications and other details describing the Landlord’s Work which are hereafter furnished by or on behalf of Tenant shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which Landlord agrees shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Landlord shall not be deemed to have acted unreasonably if it withholds its approval of any plans, specifications, drawings or other details or of any Additional Work (as defined in Paragraph 7 below) because, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the work, as described in any such item, or the Additional Work, as the case may be: (a) is likely to materially adversely affect Building systems, the structure of the Building or the safety of the Building and/or its occupants; (b) might impair Landlord’s ability to furnish services to Tenant or other tenants in the Building; (c) would increase the cost of operating the Building to more than a minimal extent; (d) would violate any governmental laws, rules or ordinances (or interpretations thereof); (e) contains or uses hazardous or toxic materials or substances not permitted under the Lease; (f) would adversely affect the exterior appearance of the Building or the common areas; (g) might adversely affect another tenant’s premises; (h) is prohibited by any ground lease affecting the Building or any mortgage, trust deed or other instrument encumbering the Building; or (i) is likely to be substantially delayed because of unavailability or shortage of labor or materials necessary to perform such work or the difficulties or unusual nature of such work.  The foregoing reasons, however, shall not be the only reasons for which Landlord may withhold its approval, whether or not such other reasons are similar or dissimilar to the foregoing.  Neither the approval by Landlord of the Landlord’s Work or the Initial Plans or any other plans, drawings, specifications or other items associated with the Landlord’s Work nor Landlord’s performance, supervision or monitoring of the Landlord’s Work shall constitute any warranty by Landlord to Tenant of the adequacy of the design for Tenant’s intended use of the Premises.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not withhold its approval to any aspect of the Landlord’s Work which conforms to or represents a logical evolution of or development from the Initial Plans; provided however that any changes to the Initial Plans

B-1

which delays the construction of the Landlord’s Work from the time estimated by Landlord based upon the Initial Plans shall be a Tenant Delay (as hereinafter defined).

2.             Working Drawings; Cost Estimates, Construction Schedule.

Landlord shall prepare or cause to be prepared final working drawings and specifications for the Landlord’s Work (the “Working Drawings”) based on and consistent with the Initial Plans and the other plans, drawings, specifications, finish details and other information furnished by Tenant to Landlord and approved by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 1 above.  In addition, based on the Initial Plans, Landlord shall request its contractor and up to three (3) other contractors mutually approved by Landlord and Tenant to prepare and submit for Tenant’s review and approval an estimate for the total cost of the Landlord’s Work (the “Initial Cost Estimate”) and a projected construction schedule (the “Projected Construction Schedule”) identifying the estimated completion date for the Landlord’s Work.

Tenant shall designate a representative who shall attend all construction meetings and comment and review all iterations of the Working Drawings So long as the Working Drawings are consistent with the Initial Plans, Tenant shall approve the iterations of the Working Drawings within three (3) business days after receipt of same from Landlord by initialing and returning to Landlord each sheet of the Working Drawings or by executing Landlord’s approval form then in use, whichever method of approval Landlord may designate.

Alternatively, within such three (3) business day period, Tenant may deliver to Landlord the specific written changes to Working Drawings, Initial Cost Estimate and Projected Construction Schedule that are necessary, in Tenant’s opinion, to conform such plans to the Initial Plans (or to make changes requested by Tenant) or to reduce costs.  If Tenant desires changes, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of such changes and the parties shall confer and negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on modifications to the Working Drawings, Initial Cost Estimate and Projected Construction Schedule as a consequence of such change.

When the Working Drawings are complete, the contractor shall prepare a revised cost estimate (which shall include the amount of any overtime projected as necessary to substantially complete the Landlord’s Work by the Commencement Date specified in the Lease) (“Final Cost Estimate”) and a revised Projected Construction Schedule (the “Scheduled Completion Date”).  Any difference in time between the initial Projected Construction Schedule and the Scheduled Completion Date or the which result from changes made to the Initial Plans or to iterations of the Working Drawings by Tenant (other than to conform them to the Initial Plans) shall be the estimated number of days of Tenant Delay for the Landlord’s Work (“Estimated Tenant Delay”).

As soon as approved by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall submit the Working Drawings to all appropriate governmental agencies and thereafter the Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain required governmental approvals as soon as practicable.

After approval of the Working Drawings, except for additional days of Tenant Delay which are attributed to Tenant Delays pursuant to Section 6 (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Work Letter or for Additional Work approved by Tenant pursuant to Section 7 for which Tenant shall be responsible, Tenant shall not be responsible for an increase in the number of days of Tenant Delays during construction of the Landlord’s Work over the Estimated Tenant Delay.

3.             Performance of the Landlord’s Work; Allowance.  Except as hereinafter provided to the contrary, Landlord shall cause the performance of the Landlord’s Work in a good and workmanlike manner, free of defects and in compliance with the approved Working Drawings and with applicable law using (except as may be stated or shown otherwise in the Working Drawings) building standard materials, quantities and procedures then in use by Landlord (“Building Standards”), in accordance with the approved Working Drawings.  Landlord shall pay for a portion of the “Cost of the Work” (as defined below) in an amount not to exceed the Allowance and Tenant shall pay for the entire Cost of the Work in excess of the Allowance.  Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, abatement or payment from Landlord in the event that the amount of the Allowance exceeds the Cost of the Work.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Cost of the Work” shall mean and include any and all costs and expenses of the Work and any Additional Work (as defined in Section 7), including, without limitation, the cost of a space plan prepared by Hooks ASD, the cost of the Working Drawings and of all labor (including overtime) and materials constituting the Landlord’s Work.  The Allowance may be used for all hard and soft construction costs in connection with the Landlord’s Work, including architectural and engineering fees, a construction management fee to Landlord in connection with Landlord’s performance and monitoring of the Landlord’s Work and any Additional Work in an amount equal to 3% of the total “hard” construction costs (including any Additional Work and any change orders).  In no event may the Allowance or any portion thereof be used for Tenant’s computer networks, telephone systems, data and wiring, furniture purchase or installation, moving costs or Rent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall have no responsibility for and the Allowance shall not be used for the following, the costs of which shall be borne by Landlord: (a) costs incurred due to the presence of Hazardous Materials in the Premises or the surrounding area; (b) interest and other costs of financing construction costs; (c) costs to the extent recovered by Landlord upon account of warranties and insurance (which Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce but which efforts shall not require Landlord to resort to legal proceedings of any type); (d) costs to bring the Premises into compliance with applicable laws and restrictions, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act and environmental laws; (e) construction management, profit and overhead charges of Landlord except for the 3% fee described above; and (f) all Cost of the Work relating to the Base Building Work (which cost and expense is Landlord’s sole responsibility).  In addition, Landlord will repair at its sole cost any defects in the Base Building Work of which it is notified in writing within one year after the Commencement Date.

4.             Payment.

A.            Prior to commencing the Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall submit to Tenant the Final Cost Estimate, which statement shall indicate the amount, if any, by which the total Cost of the Work exceeds the Allowance (the “Excess Costs”).  Tenant agrees, within three (3) business days after submission to it of such statement, to execute and deliver to Landlord, in the form then in use by Landlord, an authorization to proceed with the Landlord’s Work (provided that Tenant may, in its discretion approve or disapprove use of overtime), and Tenant shall also then pay to Landlord an amount equal to the Excess Costs.  No Landlord’s Work shall be commenced until Tenant has fully complied with the preceding provisions of this Paragraph 4.

After Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written statement of the Cost of the Landlord’s Work together with reasonable supporting documentation, itemizing such costs and evidencing Landlord’s incurrence of the amounts so invoiced.  If the final Cost of the Work including the Allowance, and the Excess Costs, is less than the foregoing amounts, Landlord shall

B-3

refund any overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days after delivery of such statement and supporting materials.

Except for costs attributed to Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct or failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to monitor the Landlord’s Work, if the final Cost of the Landlord’s Work including the Allowance, and the Excess Costs, is more than the foregoing amounts, including increases in Excess Costs after Approval of the Working Drawings which are attributed to Tenant Delays pursuant to Section 6 (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Work Letter or Additional Work approved by Tenant pursuant to Section 7, Tenant shall pay such overage to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of such statement and supporting materials.

5.             Substantial Completion.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Landlord’s Work to be “substantially completed” on or before (i) the scheduled date of completion of the Premises set forth in the approved Construction Schedule with respect to the Landlord’s Work (the scheduled Completion Date”), subject to delays caused by strikes, lockouts, boycotts or other labor problems, casualties, discontinuance of any utility or other service required for performance of the Landlord’s Work, unavailability or shortages of materials or other problems in obtaining materials necessary for performance of the Landlord’s Work or any other matter beyond the control of Landlord (or beyond the control of Landlord’s contractors or subcontractors performing the Landlord’s Work) and also subject to “Tenant Delays” (as defined and described in Paragraph 6 of this Work Letter).  The Landlord’s Work shall be deemed to be “substantially completed” for all purposes under this Work Letter and the Lease if and when Landlord’s architect issues a written certificate to Landlord and Tenant, certifying that the Landlord’s Work has been substantially completed (i.e., completed except for “punchlist” items listed in such architect’s certificate) and reasonably approved by Tenant in substantial compliance with the Working Drawings and Landlord has obtained a certificate of occupancy or “signed off’ job cards with respect to the respective portion of the Landlord’s Work.  If the applicable portion of the Landlord’s Work is not deemed to be substantially completed on or before the scheduled Commencement Date (a) Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to complete the Landlord’s Work as soon as practicable thereafter, (b) the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, (c) Landlord shall not be deemed to be in breach or default of the Lease or this Work Letter as a result thereof and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant as a result of any delay in occupancy (whether for damages, abatement of Rent or otherwise), and (d) except in the event of Tenant Delays, and notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, the Commencement Date of the Lease Term as specified in Section 1.5 of the Lease shall be extended to the date on which the Landlord’s Work is deemed to be substantially completed. Landlord agrees to use reasonable diligence to complete all punchlist work listed in the aforesaid architect’s certificate promptly after substantial completion.

6.             Tenant Delays.  There shall be no extension of the scheduled commencement or expiration date of the term of the Lease (as otherwise permissibly extended under Paragraph 5 above) if the Landlord’s Work has not been substantially completed on said scheduled commencement date by reason of any delay to the extent attributable to Tenant (“Tenant Delays”), including without limitation which delay continues for more than one (1) business day following written or oral notification to Tenant thereof (“Tenant Delays”), including without limitation:

8.             Tenant Access.  Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion and upon request by Tenant, shall grant to Tenant a license to have access to Premises from and after the Lease Date and prior to the date designated in the Lease for the commencement of the term of the Lease to allow Tenant to do other work required by Tenant to make the Premises ready for Tenant’s use and occupancy (the “Tenant’s Pre-Occupancy Work”).  It shall be a condition to the grant by Landlord and continued effectiveness of such license that:

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE
AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

This Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (“Agreement”), is made as of this     th day of             , 200     among                         , (“Lender”),                                   , (“Landlord”), and                            (“Tenant”).

Background

Lender has agreed to make a loan to Landlord in the original principal amount $                 (“Loan”), which will be secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument (either, “Security Instrument”) on Landlord’s property described more particularly on Exhibit A attached hereto (“Property”).

Tenant is the present lessee under that certain lease agreement between Landlord and Tenant dated                         , as thereafter modified and supplemented (“Lease”), demising a portion of the Property described more particularly in the Lease (“Leased Space”).

A requirement of the Loan is that Tenant’s Lease be subordinated to the Security Instrument.  Landlord has requested Tenant to so subordinate the Lease in exchange for Lender’s agreement not to disturb Tenant’s possession of the Leased Space upon the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Subordination.  Tenant agrees that the Lease, and all estates, options and rights created under the Lease, hereby are subordinated and made subject to the lien and effect of the Security Instrument, as if the Security Instrument had been executed and recorded prior to the Lease.

Nondisturbance.  Lender agrees that no foreclosure (whether judicial or nonjudicial), deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or other sale of the Property in connection with enforcement of the Security Instrument or otherwise in satisfaction of the Loan shall operate to terminate the Lease or Tenant’s rights thereunder to possess and use the Leased Space provided, however, that no uncured default beyond applicable notice and cure periods exists under the Lease.

Attornment.  Tenant agrees to attorn to and recognize as its landlord under the Lease each party acquiring legal title to the Property by foreclosure (whether judicial or nonjudicial) of the Security Instrument, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or other sale in connection with enforcement of the Security Instrument or otherwise in satisfaction of the Loan (“Successor Owner”).  Provided that the conditions set forth in Section 2 above are met at the time Successor Owner becomes owner of the Property, Successor Owner shall perform all obligations of the landlord under the Lease arising from and after the date title to the Property is transferred to Successor Owner.  In no event, however, will any Successor Owner be: (a) liable for any default, act or omission of any prior landlord under the Lease; (b) subject to any offset or defense which Tenant may have against any prior landlord under the Lease; (c) bound by any payment of rent or additional rent made by Tenant to Landlord more than 30 days in advance; (d) bound by any modification or supplement to the Lease, or waiver of Lease terms, made without Lender’s written consent thereto; (e) liable for the return

of any security deposit or other prepaid charge paid by Tenant under the Lease, except to the extent such amounts were actually received by Lender; or (f) liable or bound by any right of first refusal or option to purchase all or any portion of the Property.  Although the foregoing provisions of this Agreement are self-operative, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Lender or any Successor Owner such further instruments as Lender or a Successor Owner may from time to time request in order to confirm this Agreement.  If any liability of Successor Owner does arise pursuant to this Agreement, such liability shall be limited to Successor Owner’s interest in the Property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Successor Owner shall be liable for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord under the Lease, including construction of the tenant improvements that constitute continuing defaults of a prior Landlord (including without limitation the Landlord) to the extent such act, omission or default is continuing after Successor Owner acquires the Property and it has received from Tenant such notice and opportunity to cure or commence to cure as is provided for in the Lease) with respect to such act, omission or default.

Rent Payments; Notice to Tenant Regarding Rent Payments.  Tenant agrees not to pay rent more than one (1) month in advance unless otherwise specified in the Lease.  After notice is given to Tenant by Lender that Landlord is in default under the Security Instrument and that the rentals under the Lease are to be paid to Lender directly pursuant to the assignment of leases and rents granted by Landlord to Lender in connection therewith, Tenant shall thereafter pay to Lender all rent and all other amounts due or to become due to Landlord under the Lease.  Landlord hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments to Lender upon reliance on Lender’s written notice (without any inquiry into the factual basis for such notice or any prior notice to or consent from Landlord) and hereby releases Tenant from all liability to Landlord in connection with Tenant’s compliance with Lender’s written instructions.

Lender Opportunity to Cure Landlord Defaults.  Tenant agrees that, until the Security Instrument is released by Lender, it will not exercise any remedies under the Lease following a Landlord default without having first given to Lender (a) written notice of the alleged Landlord default and (b) the opportunity to cure such default within the longer of (i) 30 days after the cure period provided under the Lease to Landlord, (ii) 30 days from Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice to Lender of a Landlord default, or (iii) if the cure of such default requires possession of the Property, 30 days after Lender has obtained possession of the Property; provided that, in each case, if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period and Lender has diligently commenced to cure such default promptly within the time contemplated by this Agreement, such 30-day period shall be extended for so long as it shall require Lender, in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such default, but, unless the parties otherwise agree, in no event shall the entire cure period be more than 120 days.  Tenant acknowledges that Lender is not obligated to cure any Landlord default, but if Lender elects to do so, Tenant agrees to accept cure by Lender as that of Landlord under the Lease and will not exercise any right or remedy under the Lease for a Landlord default.  Performance rendered by Lender on Landlord’s behalf is without prejudice to Lender’s rights against Landlord under the Security Instrument or any other documents executed by Landlord in favor of Lender in connection with the Loan.

Miscellaneous.

Notices.  All notices and other communications under this Agreement are to be in writing and sent to the addresses as set forth below.  Default or demand notices shall be deemed to have been duly given upon the earlier of: (i) actual receipt; (ii) one (1) business day after having been timely deposited for overnight delivery, fee prepaid, with a reputable overnight courier service, having a reliable tracking system; (iii) one (1) business day after having been sent by telecopier (with answer back acknowledged) provided an additional notice is given pursuant to (ii); or (iv) three (3) business days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service and sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and in the case of clause (ii) and (iv) irrespective of whether delivery is accepted.  A new address for notice may be established by written notice to the other
