CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION

     9.1 Casualty. If any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed prior to the Closing Date and (i) such damage or destruction is fully covered by Seller’s insurance (except for the deductible amounts thereunder), (ii) the repair would cost less than $1,500,000, (iii) the repair or restoration can be fully completed and the damaged portion of the Property ready for re-occupancy within six (6) months following the date of the casualty, as determined in the good faith business judgment of an independent third-party general contractor or construction manager mutually selected by Buyer and Seller, (iv) the insurer agrees to timely pay for the entire cost of such repair, and (v) would not result in the termination of Lease (in addition to the partial termination contemplated in the Lease Amendment), then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, subject to the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in Sections 11 and 12, Buyer shall acquire the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. In such event, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance, and Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all proceeds of insurance on account of such damage or destruction (including rental loss insurance). Otherwise, if any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed prior to the Closing Date Buyer shall have the right upon written notice to Seller within ten days after notice of such damage or destruction to (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of its Deposit, together with all interest thereon, or (b) proceed with the purchase of the Property under this Agreement and receive an assignment of all of Seller’s insurance policies and proceeds and a credit against the Purchase Price for the amount of any deductible plus any insurance proceeds previously paid to Seller for such damage or destruction to the extent not applied toward the repair of the damage. The failure of Buyer to provide such written notice shall be deemed an

election to terminate. Buyer shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for ten business days to evaluate the scope of the damage and available insurance under Seller’s insurance policy.

     9.2 Condemnation. Prior to the Closing Date if there is a taking by condemnation of any Improvement, or any portion of the Property that would decrease the available parking, inhibit access to the Property or otherwise have a material adverse impact on the use or economic value of the Property in Buyer’s sole business judgment, Buyer shall have the right, upon written notice to Seller within ten business days after receipt of notice of such taking, to terminate this Agreement and receive its Deposit and all interest thereon. The failure of Buyer to provide such written notice shall be deemed an election to terminate. Buyer shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for thirty days to evaluate the scope of the taking and available condemnation proceeds. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement as provided above, or does not have the right to terminate, the parties shall proceed to close under the terms of this Agreement and Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing Date the proceeds of the condemnation award.

Seller shall notify Buyer and Buyer shall have the same approval rights as Seller with respect to any Tenant requests to undertake any alterations on the Property, which consent, following the end of the Inspection Period, shall be in Buyer’s reasonable discretion (and only if Buyer’s election does not violate any obligations of Seller under the Lease).

          10.1.2 Notices. Seller shall give immediate notice to Buyer in the event Seller receives notice or obtains knowledge of (i) the default of any party, or event which with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, may constitute a default, pursuant to the Lease; (ii) any notice that Tenant has or may file bankruptcy or otherwise seek protection under any insolvency laws or any notice of an involuntary filing of a bankruptcy action against Tenant; (iii) the taking or threatened taking of the Property or any portion thereof by eminent domain; (iv) any casualty relating to the Property; (v) the filing or threat to file an action, claim or proceeding in any court or administrative agency against Seller which may affect the Property; (vi) notice of any violations of Environmental Laws with respect to the Property or notice of any violation of any other laws, legal requirements or approvals relating to the condition or operation of the Property; or (vii) any change of any fact or circumstance which would cause any Seller representation or warranty in Article 12 to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or in the estoppel certificate delivered to Buyer hereunder.

          10.1.3 Payments. Seller has paid, or will pay in full prior to Closing Date, for services performed prior to the Closing Date, all bills and invoices for labor, goods, materials and services of any kind relating to the Property, utility charges (not payable by Tenant) with the exception of insignificant expense items, the non-payment of which will not result in a lien on the Property, and which items Seller agrees to pay in a timely fashion after Closing Date. Any

- 14 -

alterations, installations, decorations, and other work required to be performed under the agreements affecting the Property have been, or will by Closing be, completed and are, or will be, paid in full or within the time frame required under the applicable construction contract.

Buyer shall have until November 1, 2005 in which to notify Seller in writing of Buyer’s election to direct Seller to payoff the Loan on the Property (the “Request for Payoff”). Should Buyer elect to have Seller pay off the Loan, Seller shall do so at the sole expense of Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date and any costs associated with the payoff shall be paid by Seller, but the Purchase Price shall be increased by the exact amount of any amounts paid by Seller in connection with the payoff. Should Buyer fail to notify Seller of the Request for Payoff on or before November 1, 2005, it shall be deemed that Buyer has elected to assume the Loan and Buyer shall, prior to the Closing Date, perform said assumption (and all costs associated therewith shall be paid by Seller, but the Purchase Price shall be increased by the exact amount of any amounts paid by Seller in connection with the assumption of the Loan).

          10.1.5. Performance Under Lease; No Amendment. Seller shall fully and timely perform all obligations required of Seller under the Lease and shall require timely performance by Tenant its obligations thereunder. Except for the Lease Amendment, Seller shall not amend or modify the Lease in any material manner without Buyer’s consent, which consent, following the end of the Inspection Period, may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion (and only if Buyer’s election does not violate any obligations of Seller under the Lease).

     10.2 Maintenance of Insurance. Seller currently maintains casualty insurance for the Property. Such insurance provides for one hundred percent replacement cost coverage with a deductible not greater than $10,000.00 and coverage for loss of Rent for at least twelve months. Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such insurance (or comparable insurance) until the Closing Date.

Office Lease

     This Lease, dated as of May 9, 1996, is between The Edward Pike Company (“Landlord”), and PeopleSoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

     Landlord and Tenant hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. Definitions

     1.1 Location of Definitions; Basic Lease Information

     For convenience of reference only, defined terms and the sections in which they are defined are set forth in Exhibit B. The Basic Lease Information is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Lease.

2. Premises

     2.1 Premises Defined

     Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant hires from Landlord on the terms and conditions contained in this Lease the entire building (the “Building”) to be built on the real property (the “Real Property”) described in Exhibit A in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of this Lease. The Premises specified in the Basic Lease Information shall include the Building and all of the Real Property as well as all appurtenant easements and rights. The Building, the Real Property upon which the Building stands, common areas, drives, walkways and other amenities appurtenant to or servicing the Building are herein sometimes collectively called the “Premises.” Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Commencement Date Landlord shall have the rentable area of the Building measured by DES Architects (the “Project Architect”) in accordance with the “Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings,” American National Standard ANSI Z65.1 1980, as published by Building Owners and Managers Association (“BOMA Standard”) and Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the Project Architect’s determination of the rentable square footage of the Premises along with all calculations used by the Project Architect to determine the rentable square footage of the Premises. Absent manifest error on the part of the Project Architect or the failure of the Project Architect to follow and correctly apply the BOMA Standard, the determination by the Project Architect of the rentable square footage for the Building shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant and shall be the basis on which Rent and other calculations herein shall be made.

3. Term

     3.1 Term Commencement

     The Premises are leased for a term (the “Term”) commencing on the later of (i) the Commencement Date as set forth in the Basic Lease Information, or (ii) the date the Landlord’s Work (as defined in Section 6.1), is substantially completed as described in Section 6.1 (such date when determined shall become the Commencement Date and replace the Commencement Date in the Basic Lease Information). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Tenant takes occupancy of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date and commences to conduct Tenant’s business from the Premises, the Commencement Date shall be the date on which Tenant takes occupancy of the Premises and commences to conduct Tenant’s business from the Premises. Landlord shall give Tenant not less than four (4) weeks notice prior to the Commencement Date of the projected Commencement Date and shall during a two (2) week period prior to the Commencement Date provide Tenant with access to the Premises for the purpose of installing Tenant’s fixtures. Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any rent during such two (2) week period but shall be subject to all other provisions of this Lease. The Term of this Lease shall expire on the date that is the day prior to the ten (10) year anniversary of the Commencement Date which shall be deemed the Expiration Date for all purposes of this Lease. In the event that for any reason the Premises are not available for Tenant to commence the installation of its fixtures by March 18, 1997, then for each day that Tenant is delayed in having access to the Premises for the purpose of installing its fixtures Tenant shall be provided with the following free rent:

Period of Delay		Amount of Free Rent
3/18/97- 3/31/97		1/2 day for each 1 day of delay
4/1/97-4/14/97		1 day for each 1 day delay
4/15/97-5/31 /97		2 days for each 1 day of delay
6/1/97-Commencement Date		3 days for each 1 day of delay

     In addition to the foregoing, Landlord acknowledges that the Premises will be occupied by personnel of Tenant that are presently located at 1331 North California Boulevard in Walnut Creek, California (the “Walnut Creek Lease”). Tenant must give ninety (90) days notice for the termination of the Walnut Creek Lease and must vacate the space covered by the Walnut Creek Lease in any event by July 31, 1997. In the event that Tenant is unable to occupy the Premises by April 1, 1997 and as a result thereof Tenant incurs additional costs under the Walnut Creek Lease (in excess of the base rent and expense reimbursement charges normally due under the Walnut Creek Lease) as a result of the inability to give the full ninety (90) days notice required under the Walnut Creek Lease prior to the Commencement Date or for any other reason, Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant

for all such costs and expenses, in addition to the free rent provided for above. In the event that Landlord determines that Landlord will not be able to complete Landlord’s Work prior to April 1, 1997, and, thus, the Commencement Date will not occur on or before April 1, 1997, Landlord may at any time prior to December 28, 1996, give written notice to Tenant to extend the Commencement Date by up to one (1) month (“Commencement Date Extension Period”) in which case the dates set forth above after which free rent shall begin to accrue or the date after which Landlord will be liable for the additional costs under the Walnut Creek Lease shall each be extended for a period of time equal. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge that Tenant will be severely damaged in the event that Tenant is delayed in occupying the Premises but that the amount of such damage is difficult or impossible to determine and that the free rent specified above and the agreement to reimburse Tenant for costs incurred under the Walnut Creek Lease, as provided above, is a reasonable estimate of the value of such damage and Tenant shall have no remedy against Landlord for such delay other than as set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease upon ten (10) days written notice (the “Termination Notice”) to Landlord in the event that any of the following events in the completion of Landlord’s Work are not completed by the date specified:

	(a)		September 1, 1996 — receipt of all necessary governmental approvals, including a complete or a phased building permit, necessary to commence construction of the Building;
	(b)		October 1, 1996 — commencement of construction of the Building;
	(c)		July 15, 1997 — construction sufficiently complete so as to allow Tenant to commence installation of Tenant’s fixtures; and
	(d)		August 1, 1997 — Commencement Date.

     Notwithstanding the preceding sentence any Termination Notice shall be null and void and the Lease shall remain in full force and effect if Landlord achieves the event on which the Termination Notice is based within ten (10) days of the date of such Termination. If this Lease is terminated prior to the Commencement Date any prepaid rent shall be returned to Tenant.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2, each of the dates or true periods shall be extended on a day for day basis for delay in Landlord’s Work caused by any of the following:

(a)

strikes, floods, war, civil disturbance, natural disasters or any other event beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (collectively such events are referred to herein as “Force Majeure Events”), provided that Landlord shall notify Tenant within one (1) week of the commencement or occurrence of any Force Majeure Event

			and the aggregate delay for all Force Majeure Events shall not exceed ninety (90) days; or
	(b)		the failure by the Tenant to timely respond to any request for approval required of Tenant hereunder, any change order by Tenant that increases the time required to complete Landlord’s Work, or any special materials or equipment required by Tenant that may have particularly long lead times (all of the foregoing being referred to herein as “Tenant Delay”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Tenant Delay shall not occur unless, (a) Landlord has given Tenant notice of a possible Tenant Delay and a reasonable period of time (which shall not be less than three (3) days) to cure such potential Tenant Delay, and (b) the Tenant Delay has actually caused a delay in construction or completion of Landlord’s Work.

     Following the Commencement Date, Landlord will deliver to Tenant a notice identifying the Commencement Date, the Expiration Date, the rentable square footage of the Premises and the monthly Rent. A copy of such notice shall be executed by Tenant and returned to Landlord, provided that Tenant concurs therewith.

4. Rent; Additional Charges

     4.1 Rental

     Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the Term at the address set forth in the Basic Lease Information, without demand, offset or deduction, Rent as set forth in the Basic Lease Information. Rent shall be payable on or before the first day of each month, in advance, provided that the first month’s Rent shall be payable upon the execution of this Lease. If the Commencement Date, the Expiration Date or the day on which Rent is adjusted pursuant to this Lease should occur on a day other than the first or last day of a calendar month, respectively, then the Rent for such period shall be prorated based on the actual number of days in such month.

     4.2 Additional Charges

     Tenant shall pay to Landlord when due all charges, fees and expenses and other amounts whatsoever as provided in this Lease (“Additional Charges”). Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, all Additional Charges shall be due on the first day of the month following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoice for the Additional Charges. Landlord shall have the same remedies for Tenant’s failure to pay any item of Additional Charges when due as for failure to pay any installment of Rent when due.

     4.3 Late Charges

     If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or Additional Charges within five (5) days after the date the same is due, such unpaid amounts will be subject to a late payment charge equal to

three percent (3%) of the unpaid amounts in each instance; provided that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay such late payment charge if Tenant actually pays the Rent or Additional Charges within three (3) business days of Landlord’s written demand therefore, provided further that Landlord shall only be required to give such written notice two (2) times in the first year of the Lease term and once in each subsequent year of the Lease term. The late payment charge has been agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, after negotiation, as liquidated damages and a reasonable estimate of the additional administrative costs and detriment that will be incurred by Landlord as a result of any such failure to pay by Tenant, the actual costs thereof being extremely difficult if not impossible to determine.

5. Expenses and Taxes

     5.1 Definitions

     For purposes of this Article 5, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

     (a) “Real Estate Taxes” shall mean all real property taxes and general and special assessments, transit charges, fees or assessments, housing fund assessments, payments in lieu of taxes, fees or charges, and any tax, fee, assessment, charge or excise levied or assessed (whether at the date of this Lease or thereafter) (i) on the Real Property, any portion thereof or Landlord’s interest therein, or Landlord’s personal property used in the operation of the Real Property, (ii) on the use or occupancy of the Real Property or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, any tax or levy made against Rent, Additional Charges, or gross receipts from the Real Property, (iii) in connection with the business of renting space in the Real Property, or in connection with entering into this Lease or any other lease with respect to the Real Property, or (iv) for housing, police, fire, or other governmental services that are now or hereafter levied or assessed under clauses (i) through (iii) by any governmental or public entity. Real Estate Taxes shall also include any other tax, fee, or charge, however described, that may now or hereafter be levied or assessed as a substitute for, or as an addition to, in whole or in part, any other Real Estate Taxes, whether or not now customary or in the contemplation of the parties. Real Estate Taxes shall not include (x) taxes paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 26.1 or by other tenants in the Building pursuant to similar provisions in their leases, or (y) franchise, transfer, inheritance, or capital stock taxes or income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources, unless, due to a change in the method of taxation, any of such taxes is levied or assessed against Landlord as a substitute for, or as an addition to, in whole or in part, any other tax that would otherwise constitute Real Estate Taxes.

Tenant may at any time by notice to Landlord require that Landlord contest with the appropriate governmental authorities or otherwise attempt

to reduce the Real Estate Taxes in which case Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to contest or otherwise attempt to reduce such Real Estate Taxes, provided that in such event, Tenant shall pay all legal fees or other costs incurred in such contest or other attempt to reduce the Real Estate Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Building is sold during the initial ten (10) year term of the Lease, and as a result of such sale the Real Estate Taxes are increased, then Landlord may elect one of the following:

	(i)		the Real Estate Taxes for the Base Year shall be increased by the amount of the Real Estate Tax increase due solely to such sale; or
	(ii)		the Landlord will pay Tenant, prior to the date on which any Real Estate Tax increase hereunder is payable by Tenant, an amount equal to the total dollar amount of such Real Estate Tax increase due solely to the sale calculated over the remaining years of the initial term and then discounted back to a present value using a discount rate of ten percent (10%).

     (b) “Expenses” shall mean the reasonable and actual costs and expenses paid and/or incurred by Landlord as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, in connection with the management, operation, maintenance and repair of the Real Property, including, without limitation, (i) the cost of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, steam, electricity, gas, water, sewer service, mechanical, elevator and other systems and all other utilities, and the cost of supplies and equipment and maintenance and service contracts in connection therewith, (ii) the cost of repairs, replacements, general maintenance and cleaning, including, without limitation, the cost of janitorial and other service agreements, trash removal, major roof repairs, painting and paving (none of which shall in any event be considered capital improvements hereunder, provided that major roof repairs, painting and paving shall be allocated over their useful life which shall not be less than five (5) years), (iii) the cost of insurance Landlord is required to carry pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or is required to carry by any mortgagee under any mortgage against the Real Property or any portion thereof or interest therein with respect to the Real Property (provided that Landlord shall only be entitled to carry earthquake insurance to the extent reflected in Expenses for the Base Year, either initially or by subsequent adjustment, (iv) wages, salaries, payroll taxes and other labor costs and employee benefits of all on-site employees, and the allocable share of all off-site employees to the extent engaged in the operation, management, maintenance and repair of the Real Property, (v) fees, charges and other costs, including, without limitation, property management fees (not to exceed the lesser of three percent (3%) or the amount charged in the Base Year), and all such reasonable fees, charges or other costs charged by Landlord if Landlord performs services in connection with the Real Property, (vi) the cost of supplying, replacing and cleaning employee uniforms, (vii) the fair market rental value of Landlord’s or the property manager’s offices in the Building, (viii) the cost of rentals of capital equipment, (ix) the cost of any capital improvements made to the Real Property

after the date of this Lease as a labor-saving measure or to effect other economies in the operation or maintenance of the Real Property to the extent such improvements result in a reduction of Expenses (amortized over such reasonable period of time as may be permitted under generally accepted accounting principles), or made to the Real Property after the date of this Lease that are required under any governmental law or regulation that was not applicable to the Real Property at the date of this Lease (amortized over such reasonable period as Landlord shall determine), together with interest on the unamortized balance(s) at the rate as may have been paid by Landlord on funds borrowed for the purpose of constructing such capital improvements, provided such rate shall not exceed ten percent (10%) per annum, (x) all costs and fees for licenses, inspections or permits that Landlord may be required to obtain, (xi) exterior and interior landscaping, (xii) depreciation on personal property used by Landlord on the Real Property, (xiii) reasonable reserves for any periodic items or improvements that would constitute an Expense when paid (but only to the extent reflected in the Expenses for the Base Year either initially or by subsequent adjustment), and (xiv) any other expenses and costs of any other kind whatsoever, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, incurred in managing, operating, maintaining and repairing the Real Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Expenses shall not include any of the items listed on Exhibit C hereto. Expenses shall be increased in the Base Year by any cost savings to Landlord as a result of work to the Premises that would have been an Expense had it not been completed under applicable warranties.

     (c) “Comparison Year” shall mean each consecutive twelve month period after the Base Year.

     Commencing on the first day of the month following the first anniversary of the Commencement Date provided Landlord has previously delivered to Tenant a budget for annual Excess Taxes and Excess Expenses, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance, as Additional Charges one twelfth (1/12th) of Excess Taxes and Excess Expenses for each Comparison Year in an amount estimated in good faith by Landlord and billed by Landlord

to Tenant. Excess Taxes and Excess Expenses shall be aggregated.

If the actual amount of Excess Taxes and Expenses due for such Comparison Year differs from the estimated amount of Excess Taxes and Expenses paid by Tenant for such Comparison Year, the difference shall be paid by Tenant (whether or not this Lease has terminated) within thirty (30) days after the receipt of Landlord’s Statement, or credited against the next installments of Excess Taxes or Excess Expenses due from Tenant hereunder, as the case may be; provided, however, that in no event shall Excess Taxes or Excess Expenses for a given Comparison Year be less than zero. Any refund due Tenant at the end of the Lease term shall be paid to Tenant in cash at the time of the delivery of Landlord’s Statement. Excess Taxes and Excess Expenses for any Comparison Year that is less than a full year shall be prorated equitably by Landlord.

     5.4 Audit

Tenant shall have the right, at its own expense, to conduct an audit of Landlord’s books and records relating to the determination of Expenses and Taxes, upon reasonable prior notice, during normal business hours for the immediately preceding Comparison Year of the Term. Notwithstanding any such dispute, Tenant shall pay Rent and Excess Expenses and Excess Taxes in accordance with Section 5. If Tenant challenges Landlord’s computations of the Expenses and Taxes or Excess Expenses and Excess Taxes for the immediately preceding Comparison Year, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its objections. If Tenant’s audit indicates that Tenant has been overcharged for the Excess Expenses and Excess Taxes, Landlord shall revise its records and billings accordingly for the Comparison Year audited and for the preceding two (2) Comparison Years, to the extent applicable; provided, however, that if Landlord disputes the findings of Tenant’s audit, then Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon a nationally recognized firm of certified public accountants which shall conduct an independent audit, and the findings of such firm shall be binding on the parties hereto. Within thirty (30) days after resolution of such dispute, the party that owes money to the other shall remit the sum owed. Any such sums shall be for the Comparison Year audited and, to the extent applicable, the two (2) Comparison Years preceding the Comparison Year audited. Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of its own audit and also for the cost of any audit by an independent accounting firm; provided, however, that if Tenant’s audit or the audit conducted by the independent

accounting firm, as the case may be, determines that Tenant has been overcharged by three percent (3%) or more for the Expenses and Taxes for the immediately preceding Comparison Year of the Term, then Landlord shall pay for or reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost of Tenant’s audit.

If as a result of any of the causes specified in the first sentence of this Section 12, the Premises (or a material portion thereof such that it is not reasonably feasible for Tenant to carry on its business in the balance of the Premises) is not reasonably useable by Tenant for conducting its business for a period of ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any consecutive twelve (12) month period then Tenant shall have the right at any time within thirty (30) days after the end of such ninetieth (90th) day to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12, if Landlord is diligently pursuing the repair of any of the items specified in the first sentence of this Section 12 and Landlord provides a substitute service reasonably suitable for Tenant’s purposes, for example, bringing in portable air-conditioning equipment, such that the Premises are tenantable and access exists, then there shall not be any abatement of rent or other charges and such days shall not count towards the ninety (90) days specified above. The foregoing provisions for abatement of the Rent and other charges and termination of the Lease shall be Tenant’s sole remedy for any of the items specified in the first sentence of this Section 12 and neither Landlord nor its agents shall have any liability to Tenant by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or by reason of injury to or interruption of Tenant’s business, or otherwise as a result of such items. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Lease shall supersedes any laws, statutes, ordinances relating to the condition of the Premises or Tenant’s occupancy thereof and Tenant hereby waives and releases its right to terminate this Lease under any similar, statutes or ordinances now or hereafter in effect, except to the extent expressly provided herein.

Landlord’s opinion regarding the time required to complete repairs shall be delivered to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of the damage.

Upon termination, all Rent and Additional Charges pursuant to Article 5 shall be apportioned as of the date of the damage.

     13.3 Landlord’s Right to Terminate

     In the event (i) the uninsured portion of any damage to or destruction of the Real Property equals or exceeds five percent (5%) of the replacement cost of the Building; or (ii) the Term will expire within one (1) year from the date of any material damage to or destruction of the Premises and Tenant fails to extend the term in accordance with any right expressly granted in this Lease within thirty (30) days after the date of damage: or (iii) the Damaged Property cannot in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, be repaired within one (1) year after the date of damage, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease as hereinafter provided. Landlord may terminate this Lease for the reason staled in clauses (i) or (iii) of this Section 13.3, by delivery of written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of damage or destruction; and for the reason stated in clause (ii) of this Section 13.3, by delivery of written notice to Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the date of the damage or destruction.

In the event of any repairs hereunder by Landlord, Rent and Additional Charges payable pursuant to Article 5 shall be abated in proportion to the extent that Tenant’s use of the Premises is materially impaired during the period of such repairs. All work by Tenant shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.3 above. In the event of any termination of this Lease, the proceeds from any insurance paid by reason of damage to or destruction of the Real Property or any portion

thereof shall belong to and be paid to Landlord, except for proceeds payable under Tenant’s fire insurance policies.

     13.5 Waiver of Subrogation

     As long as their respective insurers so permit, Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually waive their respective rights of recovery against each other for any loss insured by fire, extended coverage and other property insurance policies existing for the benefit of the respective parties. Each party shall apply to their insurers to obtain said waivers. Each party shall obtain any special endorsements, if required by their insurer to evidence compliance with such waiver.

     13.6 Non-Application of Certain Statutes

     The provisions of this Lease constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, or any other portion of the Real Property.

     If all of the Premises is condemned or taken (or any transfer is made in lieu thereof) before or during the Term for public or quasi-public use, (each of which events shall be referred to as a “Taking”), this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of the vesting of title. If a part of the Premises is so taken, this Lease shall automatically terminate as to the portion of the Premises so taken as of the date of the vesting of title as a result of such taking. If a portion of the Real Property is taken as to render the Building incapable of economically feasible operation as reasonably determined by Landlord, this Lease may be terminated by Landlord as of the date of the vesting of title as a result of such taking, by written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days following notice to Landlord of the date on which said vesting will occur. If a portion of the Premises is taken as to render the Premises or the remaining portion thereof unusable by Tenant for the normal operation of Tenant’s business on the Premises, this Lease may be terminated by Tenant as of the date of the vesting of title as a result of such taking, by written notice to Landlord within sixty (60) days following notice to Tenant of the date on which said vesting will occur. If this Lease is not terminated as a result of any taking, Landlord shall restore the Building to an architecturally whole unit; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to expend on such restoration more than the amount of condemnation proceeds actually received by Landlord nor do more work than that described in Section 14.4, unless Tenant pays to Landlord in advance the difference between the cost of such restoration and the amount of the condemnation proceeds received by Landlord.

     15.2 Award

     Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award for any taking, including, without limitation, any award made for the value of the leasehold estate created by this Lease. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award that may be made in any taking; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in any separate award made to Tenant for its relocation expenses, the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant, the unamortized value of improvements to the Premises made or paid for by Tenant or the interruption of or damage to Tenant’s business.

     15.3 Abatement of Rent

     15.4 Temporary Taking

     If all or any portion of the Premises is taken for a limited period of time before or during the Term, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that the Rent and Additional Charges payable pursuant to Article 5 above shall abate during such limited period in proportion to the portion of the Premises taken by such taking.

In the event that Landlord fails to respond within said ten (10) day period. Landlord shall be deemed to have consent to such Assignment or Sublease.

     16.5 No Release

     No consent by Landlord to any Assignment or Sublease by Tenant, and no specification in this Lease of a right of Tenant’s to make any Assignment or Sublease, shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to any Assignment or Sublease shall not relieve Tenant or any successor of

Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s express written consent to any other Assignment or Sublease.

     16.6 Cost of Processing Request

     Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable amount of Landlord’s cost of processing every proposed Assignment or Sublease and the reasonable amount of all direct and indirect expenses incurred by Landlord arising from any assignee or sublessee taking occupancy; provided that such costs and expenses shall not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each request.

     16.7 Corporate or Partnership Transfers

Each sublessee of all or any portion of the Premises shall, as a condition to such sublease, agree in writing for the benefit of Landlord (a) to comply with and agree to those provisions of this Lease, and (b) that such sublease (and all further subleases of any portion of the Premises) shall terminate upon any termination of this Lease, regardless of whether or not such termination is voluntary or that, at the option of Landlord, such sublessee shall attorn to Landlord.

     16.9 Permitted Transferees

     The provisions of this Section 16 shall not apply to any Assignment, Sublease or occupancy of the Premises by any direct or indirect subsidiary or present corporation of Tenant, any affiliate of Tenant or any other entity owned by (whether directly or indirectly), under common control with or owning Tenant (such entities are referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferee”); provided that no such Assignment, sublease or occupancy to or by a Permitted Transferee shall serve to release Tenant from its obligations hereunder.

     If Landlord becomes a party to any litigation not initiated by Tenant concerning this Lease, the Premises or the Real Property by reason of any act or omission of Tenant or its authorized representatives, and not by reason of its own act or omission or any act or omission of its authorized representatives, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by Landlord in the litigation.

     If either party commences an action against the other party arising out of or in connection with this Lease, or institutes any proceeding in a bankruptcy or similar court which has jurisdiction over the other party or any or all of its property or assets, the prevailing partly shall be entitled to recover from the losing party reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. The fees recoverable, as provided above, shall include fees incurred on appeal and any other post-judgment proceeding.

     27.12 Options to Extend Term

     (a) Landlord hereby grants to Tenant two options (each an “Extension Option”) to extend the Term of this Lease for an additional term (the “Option Term”) of five (5) years each upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section. The Extension Options shall be exercised, if at all, consecutively by written notice given to Landlord not less than nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date of the Term, in the case of the second Extension Option not less than nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date of the Term as extended by the first Extension Option. Tenant may exercise the first Extension Option for either all or one-half of the Building, as designated in Tenant’s notice exercising such Extension Option. In the event that Tenant has exercised the first Extension Option for all of the Building, Tenant may exercise the second Extension Option for either all or one-half of the Building, as designated in Tenant’s notice exercising such Extension Option. In the event that Tenant has exercised the first Extension Option for only one-half of the Building Tenant may only exercise the second Extension Option for such one-half of the Building. If Tenant exercises an Extension Option, each of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease shall apply during the applicable Option Term as though the expiration date of the Option Term was the date originally set forth herein as the Expiration Date of the Term, provided that (i) the Rent and Additional Charges to be paid during the applicable Option Term shall be ninety five percent (95%) of the Prevailing Market Rental, as hereinafter defined, for the Premises for the applicable Option Term, (ii) the Expiration Date for the Lease shall become the expiration date for the applicable Option Term; (iii) there shall be no additional option terms and (iv) if less than all of the Building has been leased for any Extension Option, the rentable area covered by this Lease shall be recalculated in accordance with Section 2.1, provided however, that the BOMA

multi-tenant standards shall be used. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if Tenant is in monetary or material non-monetary default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease either at the time Tenant exercises the applicable Extension Option or at any time thereafter prior to the commencement date of the applicable Option Term, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, the right to terminate the applicable Extension Option upon notice to Tenant. As used herein, the term “Prevailing Market Rental” for the Premises shall mean the annual rental, payments for Expenses and Taxes, and all other monetary payments that Landlord could obtain for the applicable Option Term from a third party desiring to lease the Premises for the applicable Option Term taking into account the age and condition of the Building and the Premises, the services provided under the terms of this Lease, the annual rental, payments for Expenses and Taxes, the obligation, or lack thereof, to pay tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions in connection with such renewal and all other monetary payments then being obtained for new leases of first class space comparable to the Premises in the locality of the Building.

     (b) If Tenant exercises the Extension Option(s), Landlord shall send to Tenant a notice setting forth the Prevailing Market Rental for the Premises for the applicable Option Term on or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Expiration Date of the Term, as it may be extended by the exercise of the first Extension Option. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Market Rental for the applicable Option Term, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord’s notice setting forth the Prevailing Market Rental for the applicable Option Term, send to Landlord a notice stating that Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of Prevailing Market Rental for the applicable Option Term and elects to resolve the disagreement as provided in this Section below. If Tenant does not send to Landlord a notice as provided in the previous sentence, Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Market Rental shall be the basis for determining the annual rental, payments for Expenses and Taxes and all other monetary payments to be paid by Tenant hereunder during the applicable Option Term. If Tenant elects to resolve the disagreement as provided below and such procedures shall not have been concluded prior to the commencement date of the applicable Option Term, Tenant shall pay annual rental, payments for Expenses and Taxes and all other monetary payments to Landlord hereunder adjusted to reflect the Prevailing Market Rental as stated by Landlord in its original notice to Tenant of Landlord’s determination thereof. If the amount of Prevailing Market Rental as finally determined pursuant to subparagraph (c) is greater than Landlord’s determination, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the Prevailing Market Rental as so determined pursuant to subparagraph (c) within thirty (30) days after the determination. If the Prevailing Market Rental as finally determined pursuant to subparagraph (c) is less than Landlord’s determination, the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the Prevailing Market Rental as so determined pursuant to subparagraph (c) shall be credited against the

next installments of annual rental, payments for Expenses and Taxes and all other monetary payments due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder.

     (c) Any disagreement regarding the Prevailing Market Rental as defined in this Section shall be resolved as follows:

          (i) Within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s response to Landlord’s notice to Tenant of the Prevailing Market Rental, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any such disagreement.

          (ii) If within the thirty (30) day period referred to in (i) above, Landlord and Tenant cannot reach agreement as to the Prevailing Market Rental, they shall each select one appraiser to determine the Prevailing Market Rental. Each such appraiser shall arrive at a determination of the Prevailing Market Rental, as defined in this Section 27.12, and submit their conclusions to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the thirty (30) day consultation period described in (i) above.

          (iii) If only one determination is submitted within the requisite time period, it shall be deemed to be the Prevailing Market Rental. If both appraisers submit a determination within such time period, and if the two determinations so submitted differ by less than five percent (5%) of the higher of the two, the average of the two shall be the prevailing Market Rental. If the two determinations differ by more than five percent (5%) of the higher of the two, then the two appraisers shall immediately select a third appraiser who shall within thirty (30) days after his or her selection select one of the first two determinations as representing the Prevailing Market Rental for the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, the third appraiser shall make no determination other than selecting one of the first two determinations as reflecting the Prevailing Market Rental for the Premises. If the two appraisers are unable to select a third appraiser either party may apply to the presiding judge of the Superior Court for the County of AJameda for the appointment of such appraiser.

          (iv) All appraisers specified pursuant to this paragraph shall be members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and shall have not less than ten (10) years’ experience appraising commercial properties in the I-680 corridor. Each party shall pay the cost of the appraiser selected by such party and one-half of the cost of the third appraiser plus one-half of any other costs incurred in resolving the dispute pursuant to this Section.

     If the commencement date of the applicable Option Term is other than on the first day of a calendar month, then the installment of Rent payable on the first day of any month during which an increase in the Rent, as provided for hereinabove, is to occur shall be prorated based on the number of days in such month prior to the effective date of the increase and the number of days in such month on or after the effective date of the increase. The Extension Options are intended to be personal to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to

the contrary contained herein, if Tenant agrees to assign its interest in this Lease or to sublet all or more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises to any party other than a Permitted Transferee prior to the commencement of the Extension Option, then the Extension Option shall immediately become null and void and of no force or effect.

     27.13 Signs and Building Name

     Subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to name the Building and use the name throughout the Lease term for so long as Tenant leases the entire Building, provided that Tenant shall make such election to name the Building within thirty (30) days of Lease execution. Subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to install, at its own cost and expense, exterior signage to the extent permitted by applicable governmental regulations and any covenants conditions and restrictions affecting the Real Property.

     27.14 Parking

     As apart of Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall construct on the Real Property parking for not less than four (4) vehicles for every one thousand (1,000) square feet of usable area in the Building. The ratio of compact car spaces to full size car spaces shall not exceed applicable code requirements.

     27.15 Dispute Resolution

     It is the desire and intention of the parties hereto to agree upon a mechanism and procedure under which any disputes or disagreements under or relating to this Lease will be resolved in a prompt and expeditious manner. The parties intend that such rapid mechanism and procedure be utilized to resolve any and all disputes and disagreements under or relating to this Lease. Accordingly, any controversy or dispute arising out of this Lease or relating to the interpretation of any term or provision of this Lease shall be heard by a referee pursuant to the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 to 645.1, inclusive, except to the extent that such dispute or disagreement is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts. All of the parties hereto shall promptly and diligently cooperate ‘with one another and the referee, and shall perform such acts as may be necessary to obtain a prompt and expeditious resolution of the dispute or controversy in accordance with the terms hereof. The parties hereto agree that the referee shall have the power to decide all issues of fact and law and report his decision thereon and issue all legal and equitable relief appropriate under the circumstances of the controversy before him. The parties shall agree upon a single referee experienced in resolving disputes of the kind under consideration, which referee shall then try all issues, whether of fact or law, and report a finding and judgment thereon. If the parties are unable to agree upon a referee within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by any party hereto, then any party hereto may thereafter seek to have one appointed pursuant to California Code of Civil

Procedure §§ 638 and 640. The cost of such proceeding shall initially be borne equally by the parties to the dispute. However, the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be entitled, in addition to all other costs, to recover its contribution for the cost of the referee as an item of damage and/or recoverable costs.

     In Witness Whereof, Landlord and Tenant have each caused their duly authorized representatives to execute this Lease on their behalf as of the date first above written.

The General Contractor shall be required to obtain a minimum of three (3) competitive subcontractor bids from each major trade for the Tenant Improvements Work. Within ten (10) Working Days after its receipt of Landlord’s written notice identifying the Cost of the Tenant Improvements Work, Tenant shall either approve such Cost of the Tenant Improvements Work in writing or cause the Tenant Improvements Plans and Specifications to be revised and resubmitted to Landlord for approval. On or before the date which is ten (10) Working Days from Landlord’s receipt of such revised Tenant Improvements Plans and Specifications, Landlord shall either approve the revised Tenant Improvements Plans and Specifications and give to Tenant a revised Cost of the Tenant Improvements Work or give to Tenant Landlord’s comments on such revised Tenant Improvements Plans and Specifications in which case the approval and bidding process set forth above shall be repeated.

Tenant shall have one year following delivery of the Premises within which to submit to Landlord requests for repair of latent defects. The punch list to be prepared by Tenant shall not include any damage to the Premises caused by Tenant’s move-in, which damages shall be repaired or corrected by Tenant, at its expense. Landlord’s contractor shall complete all punch list items within fifteen (15) days after the walk-through inspection or as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon completion of any punch list item, Landlord shall notify Tenant and Tenant shall

approve or disapprove such completed item in writing. If Tenant fails to disapprove such items within seven (7) days after completion, such item shall be deemed approved by Tenant.
