The Premises are hereby leased to Tenant from Landlord, together with the right to use any portions of the Property that are designated by Landlord for the common use of tenants and others (the “Common Areas”).

3.                                      Adjustment of Commencement Date; Possession.

3.01  The Landlord Work shall be deemed to be “Substantially Complete” on the date that all Landlord Work has been performed, other than any details of construction, mechanical adjustment or any other similar matter, the non-completion of which does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises.  If Landlord is delayed in the performance of the Landlord Work as a result of the acts or omissions of Tenant, the Tenant Related Parties (defined in Section 13) or their respective contractors or vendors, including, without limitation, changes requested by Tenant to approved plans, Tenant’s failure to comply with any of its obligations under this Lease, or Tenant’s specification of any materials or equipment with long lead times (each a “Tenant Delay”), the Landlord Work shall be deemed to be Substantially Complete on the date that Landlord could reasonably have been expected to Substantially Complete the Landlord Work absent any Tenant Delay.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.06 above, Landlord’s failure to Substantially Complete the Landlord Work by the Target Commencement Date (described in Section 1.06) shall not be a default by Landlord or otherwise render Landlord liable for damages.  Promptly after the determination of the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver a commencement letter in the form attached as Exhibit D (the “Commencement Letter”).  Tenant’s failure to execute and return the Commencement Letter, or to provide written objection to the statements contained in the Commencement Letter, within 30 days after the date of the Commencement Letter shall be deemed an approval by Tenant of the statements contained therein.  If the Termination Date does not fall on the last day of a calendar month, then, notwithstanding anything in Section 1.03 or 1.06 to the contrary, Landlord, at its option, by written notice to Tenant, may elect to adjust the Termination Date to the last day of the calendar month in which the Termination Date would otherwise occur, in which event the Base Rent rate, per rentable square foot, applicable to the

2

portion of such calendar month so added to the Term shall be the same as that which applies to the preceding portion of such calendar month.

3.02  Subject to Landlord’s obligation to perform Landlord Work, the Premises are accepted by Tenant in “as is” condition and configuration without any representations or warranties by Landlord.  By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant agrees that the Premises are in good order and satisfactory condition.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible for latent defects in the Landlord Work of which Tenant notifies Landlord to the extent that the correction of such defects is covered under valid and enforceable warranties given Landlord by contractors or subcontractors performing the Landlord Work.  Landlord, at its option, may pursue such claims directly or assign any such warranties to Tenant for enforcement.  Tenant’s acceptance of the Premises shall be subject to Landlord’s obligation to correct portions of the Landlord Work as set forth on a construction punch list prepared by Landlord and Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof.  Within 15 days after Substantial Completion of the Landlord Work, Landlord and Tenant shall together conduct an inspection of the Premises and prepare a “punch list” setting forth any portions of the Landlord Work that are not in conformity with the Landlord Work as required by the terms of this Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the request of Landlord, such construction punch list shall be mutually prepared by Landlord and Tenant prior to the date on which Tenant first begins to move its furniture, equipment or other personal property into the Premises.  Landlord, as part of the Landlord Work, shall use good faith efforts to correct all such items within a reasonable time following the completion of the punch list. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not be permitted to take possession of or enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date without Landlord’s permission.  If Tenant takes possession of or enters the Premises before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease; provided, however, except for the cost of services requested by Tenant (e.g. after hours HVAC service), Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent for any entry or possession before the Commencement Date during which Tenant, with Landlord’s approval, has entered, or is in possession of, the Premises for the sole purpose of performing improvements or installing furniture, equipment or other personal property.  Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with advance notice (which may be given orally) of the estimated Commencement Date at least 1 week prior to such estimated Commencement Date, but Landlord’s failure to accurately estimate the Commencement Date shall in no manner affect the Commencement Date or any other obligations of Landlord or Tenant hereunder.  However, notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the terms of this Section, Landlord grants Tenant the right to enter the Premises, at Tenant’s sole risk, fourteen (14) days prior to the Commencement Date, solely for the purpose of installing telecommunications and data cabling in the Premises, and installing equipment, furnishings and other personalty.  Landlord may withdraw such permission to enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date at any time that Landlord reasonably determines that such entry by Tenant is causing a dangerous situation for Landlord, Tenant or their respective contractors or employees, or if Landlord reasonably determines that such entry by Tenant is hampering or otherwise preventing Landlord from proceeding with the completion of Landlord’s Work at the earliest possible date.

3.03  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent caused by Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties (as defined in Section 13), the Base Building electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, mechanical and plumbing systems shall be in good and working order and repair as of the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant.  If the foregoing are not in good and working order as provided above, Landlord shall be responsible for repairing or restoring same at its cost and expense promptly, provided that Tenant has delivered written notice thereof to Landlord not later than 30 days following the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 15 hereinbelow, Tenant, and not Landlord, shall be responsible, at its cost, for any repairs and for the correction of any defects that arise out of or in connection with the specific nature of Tenant’s business, the acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, Tenant’s arrangement of any furniture, equipment or other property in the Premises, any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements performed by or on behalf of Tenant and any design or configuration of the Premises created by or for Tenant which specifically results in such defect in the mechanical or electrical systems in the Premises.

4.                                      Rent.

4.01  Tenant shall pay Landlord, without any setoff or deduction, unless expressly set forth in this Lease, all Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the Term (collectively referred to as “Rent”).  “Additional Rent” means all sums (exclusive of Base Rent) that Tenant is required to pay Landlord under this Lease.  Tenant shall pay and be liable for all rental, sales and use taxes (but excluding income taxes), if any, imposed upon or measured by Rent.  Base Rent and recurring monthly charges of Additional Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month without notice or demand, provided that the installment of Base Rent

3

for the third full calendar month of the Term, and the first monthly installment of Additional Rent for Expenses and Taxes, shall be payable upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant.  All other items of Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant on or before 30 days after billing by Landlord.  Rent shall be made payable to the entity, and sent to the address, Landlord designates and shall be made by good and sufficient check or by other means acceptable to Landlord.  If Tenant does not pay any Rent when due hereunder, Tenant shall pay Landlord an administration fee in the amount of $250.00, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to a grace period of up to 5 days for the first 2 late payments of Rent in a calendar year.  In addition, past due Rent shall accrue interest at 12% per annum, and Tenant shall pay Landlord a reasonable fee for any checks returned by Tenant’s bank for any reason.  Landlord’s acceptance of less than the correct amount of Rent shall be considered a payment on account of the oldest obligation due from Tenant hereunder, then to any current Rent then due hereunder, notwithstanding any statement to the contrary contained on or accompanying any such payment from Tenant.  Rent for any partial month during the Term shall be prorated.  No endorsement or statement on a check or letter accompanying payment shall be considered an accord and satisfaction.  Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent is independent of every other covenant in this Lease.

4.02.  Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Expenses in accordance with Exhibit B of this Lease.

5.                                      Compliance with Laws; Use.

The Premises shall be used for the Permitted Use and for no other use whatsoever. Tenant shall comply with all statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of any municipal or governmental entity whether in effect now or later, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (“Law(s)”), regarding the operation of Tenant’s business and the use, condition, configuration and occupancy of the Premises. In addition, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with any Laws that relate to the “Base Building” (defined below), but only to the extent such obligations are triggered by Tenant’s particular use of the Premises, other than for general office use, or Alterations or improvements in the Premises performed or requested by Tenant. Except to the extent properly included in Expenses, Landlord shall be responsible for the cost of correcting any violations of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with respect to the Common Areas of the Building.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to contest any alleged violation in good faith, including, without limitation, the right to apply for and obtain a waiver or deferment of compliance, the right to assert any and all defenses allowed by Law and the right to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings to the fullest extent permitted by Law.  Landlord, after the exhaustion of any and all rights to appeal or contest, will make all repairs, additions, alterations or improvements necessary to comply with the terms of any final order or judgment.  “Base Building” shall include the structural portions of the Building, the public restrooms and the Building mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and equipment located in the internal core of the Building on the floor or floors on which the Premises are located. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with copies of any notices it receives regarding an alleged violation of Law.  Tenant shall not exceed the standard density limit for the Building. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Building attached as Exhibit E and such other reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Landlord from time to time, including rules and regulations for the performance of Alterations (defined in Section 9.03).

6.                                      Security Deposit.

The Security Deposit, if any, shall be delivered to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant and held by Landlord without liability for interest (unless required by Law) as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations.  The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure of damages.  Landlord may from time to time and without prejudice to any other remedy provided in this Lease or by Law, use all or a portion of the Security Deposit to the extent necessary to satisfy past due Rent or to satisfy any other loss or damage resulting from Tenant’s breach under this Lease.  If Landlord uses any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant, within 5 days after demand, shall restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall return any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant within 45 days after the later to occur of: (a) determination of the final Rent due from Tenant; or (b) the later to occur of the Termination Date or the date Tenant surrenders the Premises to Landlord in compliance with Section 25.  Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to a successor or transferee and, following the assignment, Landlord shall have no further liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor Laws now or hereafter in effect.

7.                                      Building Services.

7.01  Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the following services: (a) cold water for use in the Base Building lavatories; (b) customary heat and air conditioning in season during Building Service Hours, although (i) Tenant shall have the right to receive HVAC service during hours other than Building Service Hours by paying Landlord’s then standard charge for additional HVAC service and providing such prior notice as is reasonably specified by Landlord, and (ii) if Tenant is permitted to connect any supplemental HVAC units to the Building’s condenser water loop or chilled water line, such permission shall be conditioned upon Landlord having adequate excess capacity from time to time and such connection and use shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval and reasonable restrictions imposed by Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right to charge Tenant a connection fee and/or a monthly usage fee, as reasonably determined by Landlord; (c) standard janitorial service on Business Days; (d) elevator service; (e) electricity in accordance with the terms and conditions in Section 7.02; (f) access to the Building for Tenant and its employees 24 hours per day/7 days per week, subject to the terms of this Lease and such protective services or monitoring systems, if any, as Landlord may reasonably impose, including, without limitation, sign-in procedures and/or presentation of identification cards; and (g) such other services as Landlord reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate for the Property.  If Landlord, at Tenant’s request, provides any services which are not Landlord’s express obligation under this Lease, including, without limitation, any repairs which are Tenant’s responsibility pursuant to Section 9 below, Tenant shall pay Landlord, or such other party designated by Landlord, the cost of providing such service plus a reasonable administrative charge.

7.02  Electricity used by Tenant in the Premises shall, at Landlord’s option, be paid for by Tenant either:  (a) through inclusion in Expenses (except as provided for excess usage); (b) by a separate charge payable by Tenant to Landlord; or (c) by separate charge billed by the applicable utility company and payable directly by Tenant.  Without the consent of Landlord, Tenant’s use of electrical service shall not exceed the Building standard usage, per square foot, as reasonably determined by Landlord, based upon the Building standard electrical design load.  Landlord shall have the right to measure electrical usage by commonly accepted methods, including the installation of measuring devices such as submeters and check meters.  If it is reasonably determined that Tenant is using electricity in such quantities or during such periods as to cause the total cost of Tenant’s electrical usage, on a monthly, per-rentable-square-foot basis, to materially exceed that which Landlord reasonably deems to be standard for the Building, Tenant shall pay Landlord Additional Rent for the cost of such excess electrical usage and, if applicable, for the cost of purchasing and installing the measuring device(s).

7.03  Landlord’s failure to furnish, or any interruption, diminishment or termination of services due to the application of Laws, the failure of any equipment, the performance of maintenance, repairs, improvements or alterations, utility interruptions or the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure (defined in Section 26.03) (collectively a “Service Failure”) shall not render Landlord liable to Tenant, constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant, give rise to an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or agreement.  However, if the Premises, or a material portion of the Premises, are made untenantable for a period in excess of 3 consecutive Business Days as a result of a Service Failure that is reasonably within the control of Landlord to correct, then Tenant, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to receive an abatement of Rent payable hereunder during the period beginning on the 4th consecutive Business Day of the Service Failure and ending on the day the service has been restored.  If the entire Premises have not been rendered untenantable by the Service Failure, the amount of abatement shall be equitably prorated.

8.                                      Leasehold Improvements.

All improvements in and to the Premises, including any Alterations (defined in Section 9.03) (collectively, “Leasehold Improvements”) shall remain upon the Premises at the end of the Term without compensation to Tenant, provided that Tenant, at its expense, shall remove any Cable (defined in Section 9.01 below).  In addition, Landlord, by written notice to Tenant at least 30 days prior to the Termination Date, may require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Landlord Work or Alterations that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are of a nature that would require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs associated with standard office improvements (the Cable and such other items collectively are referred to as “Required Removables”).  Required Removables shall include, without limitation, internal stairways, raised floors, personal baths and showers, vaults, rolling file systems and structural alterations and modifications.  The Required Removables shall be removed by Tenant before the Termination Date. Tenant shall repair damage caused by the installation or removal of Required Removables.  If Tenant fails to perform its obligations in a timely manner, Landlord may perform such work at Tenant’s expense.  Tenant, at the time it

5

requests approval for a proposed Alteration, including any Initial Alterations or Landlord Work, as such terms may be defined in the Work Letter attached as Exhibit C, may request in writing that Landlord advise Tenant whether the Alteration, including any Initial Alterations or Landlord Work, or any portion thereof, is a Required Removable.  Within 10 days after receipt of Tenant’s request, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing as to which portions of the alteration or other improvements are Required Removables. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to remove any portion of the Landlord Work shown on the Space Plans as of the date of this Lease, as such terms are defined in Exhibit C-1.

9.                                      Repairs and Alterations.

9.01  Tenant shall periodically inspect the Premises to identify any conditions that are dangerous or in need of maintenance or repair.  Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with notice of any such conditions. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall perform all maintenance and repairs to the Premises that are not Landlord’s express responsibility under this Lease, and keep the Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and damage by Casualty (defined in Section 16) and Taking (defined in Section 17) excepted. Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations include, without limitation, repairs to: (a) floor covering; (b) interior partitions; (c) doors; (d) the interior side of demising walls; (e) Alterations (described in Section 9.03); (f) supplemental air conditioning units, kitchens, including hot water heaters, plumbing, and similar facilities exclusively serving Tenant, whether such items are installed by Tenant or are currently existing in the Premises; and (g) electronic, fiber, phone and data cabling and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant (collectively, “Cable”).  All repairs and other work performed by Tenant or its contractors, including that involving Cable, shall be subject to the terms of Section 9.03 below.  If Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises for more than 15 days after notice from Landlord (although notice shall not be required in an emergency), Landlord may make the repairs, and, within 30 days after demand, Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of the repairs, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to 10% of the cost of the repairs.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the repair to be performed by Tenant cannot reasonably be completed within 15 days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant, Landlord shall not exercise its right to make such repair on Tenant’s behalf so long as Tenant commences such repair within 5 days after notice from Landlord and is diligently pursuing the same to completion.

9.02  Landlord shall keep and maintain in good repair and working order and perform maintenance upon the: (a) structural elements of the Building; (b) mechanical (including HVAC), electrical, plumbing and fire/life safety systems serving the Building in general; (c) Common Areas; (d) roof of the Building; (e) exterior windows of the Building; and (f) elevators serving the Building.  Landlord shall promptly make repairs for which Landlord is responsible.  Tenant hereby waives any and all rights under and benefits of subsection 1 of Section 1932, and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor Laws now or hereafter in effect.

9.03  Tenant shall not make alterations, repairs, additions or improvements or install any Cable (collectively referred to as “Alterations”) without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. However, Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any Alteration that satisfies all of the following criteria (a “Cosmetic Alteration”):  (a) is of a cosmetic nature such as painting, wallpapering, hanging pictures and installing carpeting; (b) is not visible from the exterior of the Premises or Building; (c) will not affect the Base Building (defined in Section 5); and (d) does not require work to be performed inside the walls or above the ceiling of the Premises.  Cosmetic Alterations shall be subject to all the other provisions of this Section 9.03.  Prior to starting work, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with plans and specifications (which shall be in CAD format if requested by Landlord); names of contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord (provided that Landlord may designate specific contractors with respect to Base Building and vertical Cable, as may be described more fully below); required permits and approvals; evidence of contractor’s and subcontractor’s insurance in amounts reasonably required by Landlord and naming Landlord and the managing agent for the Building (or any successor(s)) as additional insureds; and any security for performance in amounts reasonably required by Landlord.  Landlord may designate specific contractors with respect to oversight, installation, repair, connection to, and removal of vertical Cable.  All Cable shall be clearly marked with adhesive plastic labels (or plastic tags attached to such Cable with wire) to show Tenant’s name, suite number, and the purpose of such Cable (i) every 6 feet outside the Premises (specifically including, but not limited to, the electrical room risers and any Common Areas), and (ii) at the termination point(s) of such Cable.  Changes to the plans and specifications must also be submitted to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner using materials of a quality reasonably approved by Landlord, and Tenant shall ensure that no Alteration impairs any Building system or

6

Landlord’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any sums paid by Landlord for third party examination of Tenant’s plans for non-Cosmetic Alterations.  In addition, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee for Landlord’s oversight and coordination of any non-Cosmetic Alterations equal to 10% of the cost of the non-Cosmetic Alterations.  Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish “as-built” plans (in CAD format, if requested by Landlord) for non-Cosmetic Alterations, completion affidavits and full and final waivers of lien.  Landlord’s approval of an Alteration shall not be deemed a representation by Landlord that the Alteration complies with Law.

10.                               Entry by Landlord.

Landlord may enter the Premises to inspect, show (but only during the last 6 months of the Term or any time during an uncured Default by Tenant) or clean the Premises or to perform or facilitate the performance of repairs, alterations or additions to the Premises or any portion of the Building.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in emergencies, Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least 24 hours’ prior notice of entry into the Premises, which may be given orally to the entity occupying the Premises and shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises.  If reasonably necessary, Landlord may temporarily close all or a portion of the Premises to perform repairs, alterations and additions.  However, except in emergencies, Landlord will not close the Premises if the work can reasonably be completed on weekends and after Building Service Hours.  Entry by Landlord (in accordance with this Section 10) shall not constitute a constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent.

11.                               Assignment and Subletting.

11.01  Except in connection with a Business Transfer (defined in Section 11.04), Tenant shall not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease or allow any third party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively or individually, a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if Landlord does not exercise its recapture rights under Section 11.02.  Without limitation, it is agreed that Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if the proposed transferee is a governmental entity or an occupant of the Building or if the proposed transferee, whether or not an occupant of the Building, is in discussions with Landlord regarding the leasing of space within the Building.  If the entity(ies) which directly or indirectly controls the voting shares/rights of Tenant (other than through the ownership of voting securities listed on a recognized securities exchange) changes at any time, such change of ownership or control shall constitute a Transfer. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1995.310 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor Laws, now or hereafter in effect, and all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable Laws, on behalf of the proposed transferee. Any Transfer in violation of this Section shall, at Landlord’s option, be deemed a Default by Tenant as described in Section 18, and shall be voidable by Landlord.  In no event shall any Transfer, including a Business Transfer, release or relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, and Tenant shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the tenant’s obligations under this Lease, as amended from time to time.

11.02  Tenant shall provide Landlord with financial statements for the proposed transferee (or, in the case of a change of ownership or control, for the proposed new controlling entity(ies)), a fully executed copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or other Transfer documentation and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Within 15 Business Days after receipt of the required information and documentation, Landlord shall either: (a) consent to the Transfer by execution of a consent agreement in a form reasonably designated by Landlord; (b) reasonably refuse to consent to the Transfer in writing; or (c) in the event of an assignment of this Lease or subletting of more than 20% of the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises for more than 50% of the remaining Term (excluding unexercised options), recapture the portion of the Premises that Tenant is proposing to Transfer.  If Landlord exercises its right to recapture, this Lease shall automatically be amended (or terminated if the entire Premises is being assigned or sublet) to delete the applicable portion of the Premises effective on the proposed effective date of the Transfer, although Landlord may require Tenant to execute a reasonable amendment or other document reflecting such reduction or termination.  Tenant shall pay Landlord a review fee of $1,500.00 for Landlord’s review of any requested Transfer.

11.03  Tenant shall pay Landlord 50% of all rent and other consideration which Tenant receives as a result of a Transfer that is in excess of the Rent payable to Landlord for the portion of the Premises and Term covered by the Transfer.  Tenant shall pay Landlord for Landlord’s share of the excess within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of the excess.  In determining the excess due Landlord, Tenant may deduct from the excess, on a straight line basis, all reasonable

7

and customary expenses directly incurred by Tenant attributable to the Transfer, including brokerage fees, legal fees, construction costs, and Landlord’s review fee.  If Tenant is in Default, Landlord may require that all sublease payments be made directly to Landlord, in which case Tenant shall receive a credit against Rent in the amount of Tenant’s share of payments received by Landlord.

11.04  Tenant may assign this Lease to a successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation or the purchase of substantially all of Tenant’s assets, or assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the Premises to an Affiliate (defined below), without the consent of Landlord, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied (a “Business Transfer”):  (a) Tenant must not be in Default; (b) Tenant must give Landlord written notice at least 15 Business Days before such Transfer; and (c) if such Transfer will result from a merger or consolidation of Tenant with another entity, then the Credit Requirement (defined below) must be satisfied.  Tenant’s notice to Landlord shall include information and documentation evidencing the Business Transfer and showing that each of the above conditions has been satisfied.  If requested by Landlord, Tenant’s successor shall sign and deliver to Landlord a commercially reasonable form of assumption agreement.  “Affiliate” shall mean an entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with Tenant.  The “Credit Requirement” shall be deemed satisfied if, as of the date immediately preceding the date of the Transfer, the financial strength of the entity with which Tenant is to merge or consolidate is not less than that of Tenant, as determined (x) based on credit ratings of such entity and Tenant by both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s (or by either such agency alone, if applicable ratings by the other agency do not exist), or (y) if such credit ratings do not exist, then in accordance with Moody’s KMV RiskCalc (i.e., the on-line software tool offered by Moody’s for analyzing credit risk) based on CFO-certified financial statements for such entity and Tenant covering their last two fiscal years ending before the Transfer.

11.05  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11, neither Tenant nor any other person having a right to possess, use, or occupy (for convenience, collectively referred to in this subsection as “Use”) the Premises shall enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement for Use of all or any portion of the Premises which provides for rental or other payment for such Use based, in whole or in part, on the net income or profits derived by any person that leases, possesses, uses, or occupies all or any portion of the Premises (other than an amount based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales), and any such purported lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement shall be absolutely void and ineffective as a transfer of any right or interest in the Use of all or any part of the Premises.

12.                               Liens.

Tenant shall not permit mechanics’ or other liens to be placed upon the Property, Premises or Tenant’s leasehold interest in connection with any work or service done or purportedly done by or for the benefit of Tenant or its transferees.  Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least 15 days prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises to afford Landlord the opportunity, where applicable, to post and record notices of non-responsibility.  Tenant, within 20 days of notice from Landlord, shall fully discharge any lien by settlement, by bonding or by insuring over the lien in the manner prescribed by the applicable lien Law and, if Tenant fails to do so, Tenant shall be deemed in Default under this Lease and, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord as a result of such Default by Tenant, Landlord, at its option, may bond, insure over or otherwise discharge the lien.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any amount paid by Landlord, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

13.                               Indemnity and Waiver of Claims.

Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties (defined below), Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord Related Parties harmless against and from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, actions, costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other professional fees (if and to the extent permitted by Law) (collectively referred to as “Losses”), which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord or any of the Landlord Related Parties by any third party and arising out of or in connection with any damage or injury occurring in the Premises or any acts or omissions (including violations of Law) of Tenant, the Tenant Related Parties (defined below) or any of Tenant’s transferees, contractors or licensees.  Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties, Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant, its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents (“Tenant Related Parties”) harmless against and from all Losses which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Tenant or any of the Tenant Related Parties by any third party and arising out of or in connection with the acts or omissions (including violations of Law) of

8

Landlord or the Landlord Related Parties.  Tenant hereby waives all claims against and releases Landlord and its trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, Mortgagees (defined in Section 23) and agents (the “Landlord Related Parties”) from all claims for any injury to or death of persons, damage to property or business loss in any manner related to (a) Force Majeure, (b) acts of third parties, (c) the bursting or leaking of any tank, water closet, drain or other pipe, (d) the inadequacy or failure of any security or protective services, personnel or equipment, or (e) any matter not within the reasonable control of Landlord.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 15 to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to waive any claims against Landlord (other than for loss or damage to Tenant’s business) where such loss or damage is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties.  Nothing herein shall be construed as to diminish the repair and maintenance obligations of Landlord contained elsewhere in this Lease.

14.                               Insurance.

Tenant shall maintain the following insurance (“Tenant’s Insurance”):  (a) Commercial General Liability Insurance applicable to the Premises and its appurtenances providing, on an occurrence basis, a minimum combined single limit of $2,000,000.00; (b) Property and Income Coverage Insurance written on an All Risk or Special Cause of Loss Form, including earthquake sprinkler leakage, at replacement cost value and with a replacement cost endorsement covering all of Tenant’s business and trade fixtures, equipment, movable partitions, furniture, merchandise and other personal property within the Premises (“Tenant’s Property”) and any Leasehold Improvements performed by or for the benefit of Tenant; (c) Workers’ Compensation Insurance in amounts required by Law; and (d) Employers Liability Coverage of at least $1,000,000.00 per occurrence.  Any company writing Tenant’s Insurance shall have an A.M. Best rating of not less than A-VIII.  All Commercial General Liability Insurance policies shall name as additional insureds Landlord (or its successors and assignees), the managing agent for the Building (or any successor), Equity Office Properties Trust and their respective members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, and agents, and other designees of Landlord and its successors as the interest of such designees shall appear.  In addition, Landlord shall be named as a loss payee with respect to Tenant’s Property Insurance on the Leasehold Improvements.  All policies of Tenant’s Insurance shall contain endorsements that the insurer(s) shall give Landlord and its designees at least 30 days’ advance written notice of any cancellation, termination, material change or lapse of insurance. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance evidencing Tenant’s Insurance prior to the earlier to occur of the Commencement Date or the date Tenant is provided with possession of the Premises, and thereafter as necessary to assure that Landlord always has current certificates evidencing Tenant’s Insurance. So long as the same is available at commercially reasonable rates, Landlord shall maintain so called All Risk property insurance on the Building at replacement cost value as reasonably estimated by Landlord, together with such other insurance coverage as Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, may elect to maintain.

15.                               Subrogation.

Landlord and Tenant hereby waive and shall cause their respective insurance carriers to waive any and all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action against the other for any loss or damage with respect to Tenant’s Property, Leasehold Improvements, the Building, the Premises, or any contents thereof, including rights, claims, actions and causes of action based on negligence, which loss or damage is (or would have been, had the insurance required by this Lease been carried) covered by insurance.  For the purposes of this waiver, any deductible with respect to a party’s insurance shall be deemed covered by and recoverable by such party under valid and collectable policies of insurance.

16.                               Casualty Damage.

16.01  If all or any portion of the Premises becomes untenantable or inaccessible by fire or other casualty to the Premises or the Common Areas (collectively a “Casualty”), Landlord, with reasonable promptness, shall cause a general contractor selected by Landlord to provide Landlord with a written estimate of the amount of time required, using standard working methods, to substantially complete the repair and restoration of the Premises and any Common Areas necessary to provide access to the Premises (“Completion Estimate”).  Landlord shall promptly forward a copy of the Completion Estimate to Tenant.  If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises or any Common Areas necessary to provide access to the Premises cannot be made tenantable within 180 days from the date the repair is started, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other within 10 days after Tenant’s receipt of the Completion Estimate.  Tenant, however, shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if the Casualty was caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of

9

Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties.  In addition, Landlord, by notice to Tenant within 90 days after the date of the Casualty, shall have the right to terminate this Lease if:  (1) the Premises have been materially damaged and there is less than 2 years of the Term remaining on the date of the Casualty; (2) any Mortgagee requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt; or (3) a material uninsured loss to the Building or Premises occurs.  Tenant also shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord if:  (a) a substantial portion of the Premises has been damaged by Casualty and such damage cannot reasonably be repaired within 60 days after receipt of the Completion Estimate; (b) there is less than 1 year of the Term remaining on the date of the Casualty; (c) the Casualty was not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors; and (d) Tenant provides Landlord with written notice of its intent to terminate within 30 days after the date of Tenant’s receipt of the Completion Estimate.

16.02  If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, restore the Premises and Common Areas.  Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition that existed prior to the Casualty, except for modifications required by Law or any other modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord.  Upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall assign or endorse over to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all property insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s Insurance with respect to any Leasehold Improvements performed by or for the benefit of Tenant; provided if the estimated cost to repair such Leasehold Improvements exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, the excess cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s commencement of repairs.  Within 15 days of demand, Tenant shall also pay Landlord for any additional excess costs that are determined during the performance of the repairs to such Leasehold Improvements.  In no event shall Landlord be required to spend more for the restoration of the Premises and Common Areas than the proceeds received by Landlord, whether insurance proceeds or proceeds from Tenant.  Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience to Tenant, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from the Casualty or the repair thereof.  Provided that Tenant is not in Default, during any period of time that all or a material portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable as a result of a Casualty, the Rent shall abate for the portion of the Premises that is untenantable and not used by Tenant.

16.03  The provisions of this Lease, including this Section 16, 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 the Property, and any Laws, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any similar or successor Laws now or hereafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises or the Property.

17.                               Condemnation.

Either party may terminate this Lease if any material part of the Premises is taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”).  Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any portion of the Building or Property which would have a material adverse effect on Landlord’s ability to profitably operate the remainder of the Building.  If Landlord has the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 17, Landlord agrees to exercise such right in a nondiscriminatory fashion among tenants in the Building.  Consideration of the following factors in arriving at its decision shall not be deemed discriminatory: Length of term remaining on the Lease, time needed to repair and restore, costs of repair and restoration not covered by condemnation proceeds, Landlord’s plans to repair and restore Common Areas serving the Premises, Landlord’s plans for repair and restoration of the Building, and other relevant factors of Landlord’s decision as long as they are applied to Tenant in the same manner as other tenants. The terminating party shall provide written notice of termination to the other party within 45 days after it first receives notice of the Taking.  The termination shall be effective as of the effective date of any order granting possession to, or vesting legal title in, the condemning authority.  If this Lease is not terminated, Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be appropriately adjusted to account for any reduction in the square footage of the Building or Premises. All compensation awarded for a Taking shall be the property of Landlord.  The right to receive compensation or proceeds are expressly waived by Tenant, provided, however, Tenant may file a separate claim for Tenant’s Property and Tenant’s reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the amount of Landlord’s award.  If only a part of the Premises is subject to a Taking and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord, with reasonable diligence, will restore the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to the

10

condition immediately prior to the Taking.  Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or any similar or successor Laws.

18.                               Events of Default.

In addition to any other default specifically described in this Lease, each of the following occurrences shall be a “Default”: (a) Tenant’s failure to pay any portion of Rent when due, if the failure continues for 5 days after written notice to Tenant (“Monetary Default”); (b) Tenant’s failure (other than a Monetary Default) to comply with any term, provision, condition or covenant of this Lease, if the failure is not cured within 20 days after written notice to Tenant provided, however, if Tenant’s failure to comply cannot reasonably be cured within 20 days, Tenant shall be allowed additional time (not to exceed 90 days) as is reasonably necessary to cure the failure so long as Tenant begins the cure within 20 days and diligently pursues the cure to completion; (c) Tenant permits a Transfer without Landlord’s required approval or otherwise in violation of Section 11 of this Lease; (d) Tenant or any Guarantor becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in fraud of creditors, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts when due or forfeits or loses its right to conduct business; (e) the leasehold estate is taken by process or operation of Law; (f) in the case of any ground floor or retail Tenant, Tenant does not take possession of or abandons or vacates all or any portion of the Premises; or (g) Tenant is in default beyond any notice and cure period under any other lease or agreement with Landlord at the Building or Property. If Landlord provides Tenant with notice of Tenant’s failure to comply with any specific provision of this Lease on 3 separate occasions during any 12 month period, Tenant’s subsequent violation of such provision shall, at Landlord’s option, be an incurable Default by Tenant. All notices sent under this Section shall be in satisfaction of, and not in addition to, notice required by Law.

19.                               Remedies.

19.01  Upon the occurrence of any Default under this Lease, whether enumerated in Section 18 or not, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any notice (except as expressly prescribed herein) or demand whatsoever (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant hereby specifically waives notice and demand for payment of Rent or other obligations, except for those notices specifically required pursuant to the terms of Section 18 or this Section 19, and waives any and all other notices or demand requirements imposed by applicable Law):

(a)                                  Terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and recover from Tenant an award of damages equal to the sum of the following:

(i)                                     The Worth at the Time of Award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination;

(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 Rent loss that Tenant affirmatively proves could have been reasonably avoided;

(iii)                               The Worth at the Time of Award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss that Tenant affirmatively proves could be reasonably avoided;

(iv)                              Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment either proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom; and

(v)                                 All such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time under applicable law.

The “Worth at the Time of Award” of the amounts referred to in parts (i) and (ii) above, shall be computed by allowing interest at the lesser of a per annum rate equal to: (A) the greatest per annum rate of interest permitted from time to time under applicable law, or (B) the Prime Rate plus 5%.  For purposes hereof, the “Prime Rate” shall be the per annum interest rate publicly announced as its prime or base rate by a federally insured bank selected by Landlord in the State of California.  The “Worth at the Time of Award” of the amount referred to in part (iii),

11

above, shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus 1%;

(b)                                 Employ the remedy described in California Civil Code § 1951.4 (Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations); or

(c)                                  Notwithstanding Landlord’s exercise of the remedy described in California Civil Code § 1951.4 in respect of an event or events of default, at such time thereafter as Landlord may elect in writing, to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises and recover an award of damages as provided above in Paragraph 19.01(a).

19.02  The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition 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.  No waiver by Landlord of any breach hereof shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord.

19.03  TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS CONFERRED BY SECTION 3275 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF CALIFORNIA AND BY SECTIONS 1174 (c) AND 1179 OF THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OF CALIFORNIA AND ANY AND ALL OTHER LAWS AND RULES OF LAW FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT DURING THE LEASE TERM OR THEREAFTER PROVIDING THAT TENANT SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHT TO REDEEM, REINSTATE OR RESTORE THIS LEASE FOLLOWING ITS TERMINATION BY REASON OF TENANT’S BREACH.

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LEASE.  IF THE JURY WAIVER PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 19.03 ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW, THEN THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS SHALL APPLY.  It is the desire and intention of the parties to agree upon a mechanism and procedure under which controversies and disputes arising out of this Lease or related to the Premises will be resolved in a prompt and expeditious manner.  Accordingly, except with respect to actions for unlawful or forcible detainer or with respect to the prejudgment remedy of attachment, any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either party hereto against the other (and/or against its officers, directors, employees, agents or subsidiaries or affiliated entities) on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises and/or any claim of injury or damage, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be heard and resolved by a referee under the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure, Sections 638 — 645.1, inclusive (as same may be amended, or any successor statute(s) thereto) (the “Referee Sections”).  Any fee to initiate the judicial reference proceedings and all fees charged and costs incurred by the referee shall be paid by the party initiating such procedure (except that if a reporter is requested by either party, then a reporter shall be present at all proceedings where requested and the fees of such reporter — except for copies ordered by the other parties — shall be borne by the party requesting the reporter); provided however, that allocation of the costs and fees, including any initiation fee, of such proceeding shall be ultimately determined in accordance with Section 26.02 below.  The venue of the proceedings shall be in the county in which the Premises are located.  Within 10 days of receipt by any party of a written request to resolve any dispute or controversy pursuant to this Section 19.03, the parties shall agree upon a single referee who shall try all issues, whether of fact or law, and report a finding and judgment on such issues as required by the Referee Sections.  If the parties are unable to agree upon a referee within such 10 day period, then any party may thereafter file a lawsuit in the county in which the Premises are located for the purpose of appointment of a referee under the Referee Sections.  If the referee is appointed by the court, the referee shall be a neutral and impartial retired judge with substantial experience in the relevant matters to be determined, from Jams/Endispute, Inc., the American Arbitration Association or similar mediation/arbitration entity. The proposed referee may be challenged by any party for any of the grounds listed in the Referee Sections.  The referee shall have the power to decide all issues of fact and law and report his or her decision on such issues, and to issue all recognized remedies available at Law or in equity for any cause of action that is before the referee, including an award of attorneys’ fees and costs in accordance with this Lease.  The referee shall not, however, have the power to award punitive damages, nor any other damages which are not permitted by the express provisions of this Lease, and the parties hereby waive any right to recover any such damages.  The parties shall be entitled to conduct all discovery as provided in the California Code of Civil Procedure, and the referee shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery orders in the same manner as any trial court

12

judge, with rights to regulate discovery and to issue and enforce subpoenas, protective orders and other limitations on discovery available under California law.  The reference proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with California law (including the rules of evidence), and in all regards, the referee shall follow California law applicable at the time of the reference proceeding.  The parties 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 of this Section 19.03.  In this regard, the parties agree that the parties and the referee shall use best efforts to ensure that (a) discovery be conducted for a period no longer than 6 months from the date the referee is appointed, excluding motions regarding discovery, and (b) a trial date be set within 9 months of the date the referee is appointed.   In accordance with Section 644 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, the decision of the referee upon the whole issue must stand as the decision of the court, and upon the filing of the statement of decision with the clerk of the court, or with the judge if there is no clerk, judgment may be entered thereon in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the court.   Any decision of the referee and/or judgment or other order entered thereon shall be appealable to the same extent and in the same manner that such decision, judgment, or order would be appealable if rendered by a judge of the superior court in which venue is proper hereunder.  The referee shall in his/her statement of decision set forth his/her findings of fact and conclusions of law. The parties intend this general reference agreement to be specifically enforceable in accordance with the Code of Civil Procedure. Nothing in this Section 19.03 shall prejudice the right of any party to obtain provisional relief or other equitable remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction as shall otherwise be available under the Code of Civil Procedure and/or applicable court rules.

19.04  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing by agreement, applicable Law or in equity.  In addition to other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to injunctive relief, or to a decree compelling performance of any of the covenants, agreements, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or to any other remedy allowed to Landlord at law or in equity.  Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.

19.05  If Tenant is in Default of any of its non-monetary obligations under the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to perform such obligations.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such performance upon demand together with an administrative charge equal to 10% of the cost of the work performed by Landlord.

19.06  This Section 19 shall be enforceable to the maximum extent such enforcement is not prohibited by applicable Law, and the unenforceability of any portion thereof shall not thereby render unenforceable any other portion.

20.                               Limitation of Liability.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR LANDLORD) SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PROPERTY. TENANT SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT OR AWARD AGAINST LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY. NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY JUDGMENT OR DEFICIENCY, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY BE LIABLE TO TENANT FOR ANY LOST PROFIT, DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANY FORM OF SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE.  BEFORE FILING SUIT FOR AN ALLEGED DEFAULT BY LANDLORD, TENANT SHALL GIVE LANDLORD AND THE MORTGAGEE(S) WHOM TENANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED HOLD MORTGAGES (DEFINED IN SECTION 23 BELOW), NOTICE AND REASONABLE TIME TO CURE THE ALLEGED DEFAULT.

21.                               Relocation.  Intentionally Omitted.

22.                               Holding Over.

If Tenant fails to surrender all or any part of the Premises at the termination of this Lease, occupancy of the Premises after termination shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance.  Tenant’s occupancy shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease, and Tenant shall pay an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to 150% of the sum of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the period immediately preceding the holdover.  No holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant after the termination of this Lease

13

shall be construed to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to a new tenant or to perform improvements for a new tenant as a result of Tenant’s holdover and Tenant fails to vacate the Premises within 15 days after notice from Landlord, Tenant shall be liable for all damages that Landlord suffers from the holdover.

23.                               Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate.

Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”).  The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a “Mortgagee”.  This clause shall be self-operative, but upon request from a Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination agreement in favor of the Mortgagee.  As an alternative, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease.  Upon request, Tenant, without charge, shall attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease and shall recognize such successor as lessor under this Lease without change in the provisions of this Lease, provided, however, if such succession shall be the result of Mortgagee’s enforcement of any remedy under the Mortgage or related documents, such successor shall not be liable for or bound by (a) any payment of an installment of Rent which may have been made more than 30 days before the due date of such installment, (b) any act or omission of or default by Landlord under this Lease (but the successor shall be subject to the continuing obligations of the landlord under this Lease to the extent arising from and after such succession to the extent of such successor’s interest in the Property), (c) any credits, claims, setoffs or defenses which Tenant may have against Landlord, or (d) any obligation under this Lease to maintain a fitness facility at the Property.  Upon the reasonable request of any successor to Landlord’s interest, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming such attornment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request by Tenant, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement from Landlord’s then current Mortgagee on such Mortgagee’s then current standard form of agreement.  “Reasonable efforts” of Landlord shall not require Landlord to incur any cost, expense or liability to obtain such agreement, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for any fee or review costs charged by the Mortgagee.  Upon request of Landlord, Tenant will execute the Mortgagee’s form of non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement and return the same to Landlord for execution by the Mortgagee.  Landlord’s failure to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement for Tenant shall have no effect on the rights, obligations and liabilities of Landlord and Tenant or be considered to be a default by Landlord hereunder.  Landlord and Tenant shall each, within 10 Business Days after receipt of a written request from the other, execute and deliver a commercially reasonable estoppel certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by the other (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser).  Without limitation, such estoppel certificate may include a certification as to the status of this Lease, the existence of any defaults and the amount of Rent that is due and payable.

24.                               Notice.

All demands, approvals, consents or notices (collectively referred to as a “notice”) shall be in writing and delivered by hand or sent by registered, express, or certified mail, with return receipt requested or with delivery confirmation requested from the U.S. postal service, or sent by overnight or same day courier service at the party’s respective Notice Address(es) set forth in Section 1; provided, however, notices sent by Landlord regarding general Building operational matters may be posted in the Building mailroom or the general Building newsletter or sent via e-mail to the e-mail address provided by Tenant to Landlord for such purpose.  In addition, if the Building is closed (whether due to emergency, governmental order or any other reason), then any notice address at the Building shall not be deemed a required notice address during such closure, and, unless Tenant has provided an alternative valid notice address to Landlord for use during such closure, any notices sent during such closure may be sent via e-mail or in any other practical manner reasonably designed to ensure receipt by the intended recipient.  Each notice shall be deemed to have been received on the earlier to occur of actual delivery or the date on which delivery is refused, or, if Tenant has vacated the Premises or any other Notice Address of Tenant without providing a new Notice Address, 3 days after notice is deposited in the U.S. mail or with a courier service in the manner described above.  Either party may, at any time, change its Notice Address (other than to a post office box address) by giving the other party written notice of the new address.

14

25.                               Surrender of Premises.

At the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises, and quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, and in good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage which Landlord is obligated to repair hereunder and condemnation excepted.  If Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant’s Property, or to restore the Premises to the required condition, within 5 days after termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be entitled (but not obligated) to remove and store Tenant’s Property and/or perform such restoration of the Premises.  Landlord shall not be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of Tenant’s Property.  Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, the expenses and storage charges incurred.  If Tenant fails to remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises or storage, within 30 days after notice, Landlord may deem all or any part of Tenant’s Property to be abandoned and, at Landlord’s option, title to Tenant’s Property shall vest in Landlord or Landlord may dispose of Tenant’s Property in any manner Landlord deems appropriate.

26.                               Miscellaneous.

26.01  This Lease shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the state or commonwealth in which the Building is located and Landlord and Tenant hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction and proper venue of such state or commonwealth.  If any term or provision of this Lease shall to any extent be void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected. If there is more than one Tenant or if Tenant is comprised of more than one party or entity, the obligations imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several obligations of all the parties and entities, and requests or demands from any one person or entity comprising Tenant shall be deemed to have been made by all such persons or entities.  Notices to any one person or entity shall be deemed to have been given to all persons and entities.  Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord, and agrees, that each individual executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant is authorized to do so on behalf of Tenant and that the entity(ies) or individual(s) constituting Tenant or Guarantor or which may own or control Tenant or Guarantor or which may be owned or controlled by Tenant or Guarantor are not and at no time will be (i) in violation of any Laws relating to terrorism or money laundering, or (ii) among the individuals or entities identified on any list compiled pursuant to Executive Order 13224 for the purpose of identifying suspected terrorists or on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control at its official website, http://www.treas.gov/ofac/tllsdn.pdf or any replacement website or other replacement official publication of such list.

26.02  If Landlord retains an attorney or institutes legal proceedings due to Tenant’s failure to pay Rent when due, then Tenant shall be required to pay Additional Rent in an amount equal to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any action or proceeding between Landlord and Tenant, including any appellate or alternative dispute resolution proceeding, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all of its costs and expenses in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred.  No failure by either party to declare a default immediately upon its occurrence, nor any delay by either party in taking action for a default, nor Landlord’s acceptance of Rent with knowledge of a default by Tenant, shall constitute a waiver of the default, nor shall it constitute an estoppel.

26.03  Whenever a period of time is prescribed for the taking of an action by Landlord or Tenant (other than the payment of the Security Deposit or Rent), the period of time for the performance of such action shall be extended by the number of days that the performance is actually delayed due to strikes, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, terrorist acts, pandemics, civil disturbances and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the performing party (“Force Majeure”).

26.04  Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part, all of its rights and obligations under this Lease and in the Building and Property.  Upon transfer, Landlord shall be released from any further obligations hereunder and Tenant agrees to look solely to the successor in interest of Landlord for the performance of such obligations, provided that any successor pursuant to a voluntary, third party transfer (but not as part of an involuntary transfer resulting from a foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof) shall have assumed Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.

26.05  Landlord has delivered a copy of this Lease to Tenant for Tenant’s review only and the delivery of it does not constitute an offer to Tenant or an option. Tenant represents that it has dealt directly with and only with the Broker (described in Section 1.10) as a broker in connection

15

with this Lease.  Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties harmless from all claims of any other brokers claiming to have represented Tenant in connection with this Lease. Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant and the Tenant Related Parties harmless from all claims of any brokers claiming to have represented Landlord in connection with this Lease.  Equity Office Properties Management Corp., or such other entity affiliated with Equity Office Properties Management Corp. that is involved in the negotiation of this Lease (each referred to as “EOPMC”), represents only the Landlord in this transaction.  Any assistance rendered by any agent or employee of EOPMC in connection with this Lease or any subsequent amendment or modification or any other document related hereto has been or will be made as an accommodation to Tenant solely in furtherance of consummating the transaction on behalf of Landlord, and not as agent for Tenant.

26.06 Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise of any expansion, renewal or extension rights granted to Tenant. The expiration of the Term, whether by lapse of time, termination or otherwise, shall not relieve either party of any obligations which accrued prior to or which may continue to accrue after the expiration or termination of this Lease.

26.07  Tenant may peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Premises, subject to the terms of this Lease, provided Tenant pays the Rent and fully performs all of its covenants and agreements.  This covenant shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors only during its or their respective periods of ownership of the Building.

26.08  This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air over or about the Building.  Landlord excepts and reserves exclusively to itself any and all rights not specifically granted to Tenant under this Lease.  Landlord reserves the right to make changes to the Property, Building and Common Areas as Landlord deems appropriate.  This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings related to the Premises, including all lease proposals, letters of intent and other documents.  Neither party is relying upon any warranty, statement or representation not contained in this Lease.  This Lease may be modified only by a written agreement signed by an authorized representative of Landlord and Tenant.

26.09  Subject to the provisions of this Section 26.09, so long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, and provided Tenant’s employees execute Landlord’s standard waiver of liability form and pay the applicable one time or monthly fee, if any then Tenant’s employees (the “Fitness Center Users”) shall be entitled to use the fitness center (the “Fitness Center”) in the building located at 275 Shoreline Drive, Redwood City, California. The use of the Fitness Center shall be subject to the reasonable rules and regulations (including rules regarding hours of use) established from time to time by Landlord for the Fitness Center.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the use of the Fitness Center by the Fitness Center Users shall be at their own risk and that the terms and provisions of Section 13 of this Lease shall apply to Tenant and the Fitness Center User’s use of the Fitness Center.  The costs of operating, maintaining and repairing the Fitness Center may be included as part of Expenses.  Tenant acknowledges that the provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to be a representation by Landlord that Landlord shall continuously maintain the Fitness Center (or any other fitness facility) throughout the Term of this Lease, and Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s sole discretion, to expand, contract, eliminate or otherwise modify the Fitness Center. No expansion, contraction, elimination or modification of the Fitness Center, and no termination of Tenant’s or the Fitness Center Users’ rights to the Fitness Center shall entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction in Rent, or constitute a constructive eviction, or result in an event of default by Landlord under this Lease.

26.10  Subject to the provisions of this Section 26.10, so long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to use the Building’s shower facility (the “Shower Facility”).  The use of the Shower Facility shall be subject to the reasonable rules and regulations (including rules regarding hours of use) established from time to time by Landlord for the Shower Facility.  The costs of operating, maintaining and repairing the Shower Facility shall be included as part of Expenses.  Tenant acknowledges that the provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to be a representation by Landlord that Landlord shall continuously maintain the Shower Facility throughout the Term, and Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s sole discretion, to expand, contract, eliminate or otherwise modify the Shower Facility.  In addition, in the event Landlord no longer owns the building located at 275 Shoreline Drive, Redwood City, California, the rights of Tenant and the users of the Shower Facility to use the Shower Facility may, at Landlord’s option, be terminated.  No expansion, contraction, elimination or modification of the Shower Facility, and no termination of Tenant’s or the user’s of the Shower facility rights to the Shower Facility shall entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction in Rent, constitute a constructive eviction, or result in an event of default by Landlord under this Lease. Tenant hereby voluntarily releases, discharges, waives and relinquishes any and all actions or causes of action

16

for personal injury or property damage occurring to Tenant or its employees or agents arising as a result of the use of the Shower Facility, or any activities incidental thereto, wherever or however the same may occur, and further agrees that Tenant will not prosecute any claim for personal injury or property damage against Landlord or any of its officers, agents, servants or employees for any said causes of action.  It is the intention of Tenant with respect to the Shower Facility to exempt and relieve Landlord from liability for personal injury or property damage caused by negligence.

Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.

EXPENSES AND TAXES

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Office Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) by and between CA-SHOREBREEZE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”) and VERSANT CORPORATION, a California corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 255 Shoreline Drive, Redwood City, California.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Lease.

1.  Payments.

1.01  Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount, if any, by which Expenses (defined below) for each calendar year during the Term exceed Expenses for the Base Year (the “Expense Excess”) and also the amount, if any, by which Taxes (defined below) for each calendar year during the Term exceed Taxes for the Base Year (the “Tax Excess”).  If Expenses or Taxes in any calendar year decrease below the amount of Expenses or Taxes for the Base Year, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses or Taxes, as the case may be, for that calendar year shall be $0.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with a good faith estimate of the Expense Excess and of the Tax Excess for each calendar year during the Term.  On or before the first day of each month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Landlord’s estimate of both the Expense Excess and Tax Excess.  If Landlord determines that its good faith estimate of the Expense Excess or of the Tax Excess was incorrect by a material amount, Landlord may provide Tenant with a revised estimate.  After its receipt of the revised estimate, Tenant’s monthly payments shall be based upon the revised estimate.  If Landlord does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the Expense Excess or the Tax Excess by January 1 of a calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments based on the previous year’s estimate(s) until Landlord provides Tenant with the new estimate.  Upon delivery of the new estimate, an adjustment shall be made for any month for which Tenant paid monthly installments based on the previous year’s estimate.  Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30 days after receipt of the new estimate.  Any overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant within 30 days or credited against the next due future installment(s) of Additional Rent.

1.02  As soon as is practical following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement of the actual Expenses and Expense Excess and the actual Taxes and Tax Excess for the prior calendar year.  If the estimated Expense Excess or estimated Tax Excess for the prior calendar year is more than the actual Expense Excess or actual Tax Excess, as the case may be, for the prior calendar year, Landlord shall either provide Tenant with a refund or apply any overpayment by Tenant against Additional Rent due or next becoming due, provided if the Term expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund any overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of Rent due.  If the estimated Expense Excess or estimated Tax Excess for the prior calendar year is less than the actual Expense Excess or actual Tax Excess, as the case may be, for such prior year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within 30 days after its receipt of the statement of Expenses or Taxes, any underpayment for the prior calendar year.

2.  Expenses.

2.01  Expenses” means all costs and expenses incurred in each calendar year in connection with operating, maintaining, repairing, and managing the Building and the Property.  Landlord agrees to act in a commercially reasonable manner in incurring Expenses, taking into consideration the class and the quality of the Building.  “Expenses” shall include, but not be limited to: (a)  all labor and labor related costs, including wages, salaries, bonuses, taxes, insurance, uniforms, training, retirement plans, pension plans and other employee benefits; (b) management fees; (c) the cost of equipping, staffing and operating an on-site and/or off-site management office for the Building, provided if the management office services one or more other buildings or properties, the shared costs and expenses of equipping, staffing and operating such management office(s) shall be equitably prorated and apportioned between the Building and the other buildings or properties; (d) accounting costs; (e) the cost of services; (f) rental and purchase cost of parts, supplies, tools and equipment; (g) insurance premiums and deductibles (provided, however, that insurance deductibles with respect to earthquake coverage shall not exceed 5% of the total insurable value of the Property on a per occurrence basis and all other insurance deductibles shall not exceed $100,000.00 per occurrence); (h) electricity, gas and other utility costs; and (i) the amortized cost of capital improvements (as distinguished from replacement parts or components installed in the ordinary course of business) made subsequent to the Base Year which are:  (1) performed primarily to reduce current or future operating expense costs, upgrade Building security or otherwise improve the operating efficiency of the

1

Property; or (2) required to comply with any Laws that are enacted, or first interpreted to apply to the Property, after the date of the Lease.  The cost of capital improvements shall be amortized by Landlord over the lesser of the Payback Period (defined below) or the useful life of the capital improvement as reasonably determined by Landlord. The amortized cost of capital improvements may, at Landlord’s option, include actual or imputed interest at the rate that Landlord would reasonably be required to pay to finance the cost of the capital improvement. “Payback Period” means the reasonably estimated period of time that it takes for the cost savings resulting from a capital improvement to equal the total cost of the capital improvement. Landlord, by itself or through an affiliate, shall have the right to directly perform, provide and be compensated for any services under the Lease. If Landlord incurs Expenses for the Building or Property together with one or more other buildings or properties, whether pursuant to a reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or otherwise, the shared costs and expenses shall be equitably prorated and apportioned between the Building and Property and the other buildings or properties.

2.02  Expenses shall not include: the cost of capital improvements (except as set forth above); depreciation; principal payments of mortgage and other non-operating debts of Landlord; the cost of repairs or other work to the extent Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or condemnation proceeds; costs in connection with leasing space in the Building, including brokerage commissions; lease concessions, rental abatements and construction allowances granted to specific tenants; costs incurred in connection with the sale, financing or refinancing of the Building; fines, interest and penalties incurred due to the late payment of Taxes or Expenses; organizational expenses associated with the creation and operation of the entity which constitutes Landlord; any penalties or damages that Landlord pays to Tenant under this Lease or to other tenants in the Building under their respective leases; or sums (other than management fees, it being agreed that the management fees included in Expenses are as described in Section 2.01 above) paid to subsidiaries or other affiliates of Landlord for services on or to the Property, Building and/or Premises, but only to the extent that the costs of such services exceed the competitive cost for such services rendered by persons or entities of similar skill, competence and experience.

2.03  If at any time during a calendar year the Building is not at least 95% occupied or Landlord is not supplying services to at least 95% of the total Rentable Square Footage of the Building, Expenses shall, at Landlord’s option, be determined as if the Building had been 95% occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to 95% of the Rentable Square Footage of the Building during that calendar year.  If Expenses for a calendar year are determined as provided in the prior sentence, Expenses for the Base Year shall also be determined in such manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may calculate the extrapolation of Expenses under this Section based on 100% occupancy and service so long as such percentage is used consistently for each year of the Term. The extrapolation of Expenses under this Section shall be performed in accordance with the methodology specified by the Building Owners and Managers Association.

3.  “Taxes” shall mean:  (a) all real property taxes and other assessments on the Building and/or Property, including, but not limited to, gross receipts taxes, assessments for special improvement districts and building improvement districts, governmental charges, fees and assessments for police, fire, traffic mitigation or other governmental service of purported benefit to the Property, taxes and assessments levied in substitution or supplementation in whole or in part of any such taxes and assessments and the Property’s share of any real estate taxes and assessments under any reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or similar agreement as to the Property; (b) all personal property taxes for property that is owned by Landlord and used in connection with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Property; and (c) all costs and fees incurred in connection with seeking reductions in any tax liabilities described in (a) and (b), including, without limitation, any costs incurred by Landlord for compliance, review and appeal of tax liabilities.  Without limitation, Taxes shall not include any income, capital levy, transfer, capital stock, gift, estate or inheritance tax. If a change in Taxes is obtained for any year of the Term during which Tenant paid Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any Tax Excess, then Taxes for that year will be retroactively adjusted and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit, if any, based on the adjustment.  Likewise, if a change is obtained for Taxes for the Base Year, Taxes for the Base Year shall be restated and the Tax Excess for all subsequent years shall be recomputed.  Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any such increase in the Tax Excess within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of a statement from Landlord.

4.  Audit Rights.  Within 120 days after receiving Landlord’s statement of Expenses (or, with respect to the Base Year Expenses, within 120 days after receiving Landlord’s initial statement of Expenses for the Base Year) (each such period is referred to as the “Review Notice Period”), Tenant may give Landlord written notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to review

2

Landlord’s records of the Expenses for the calendar year (or Base Year, as applicable) to which the statement applies, and within 120 days after sending the Review Notice to Landlord (such period is referred to as the “Request for Information Period”), Tenant shall send Landlord a written request identifying, with a reasonable degree of specificity, the information that Tenant desires to review (the “Request for Information”).  Within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt of a timely Request for Information and executed Audit Confidentiality Agreement (referenced below), Landlord, as determined by Landlord, shall forward to Tenant, or make available for inspection on site at such location deemed reasonably appropriate by Landlord, such records (or copies thereof) for the applicable calendar year (or Base Year, as applicable) that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review of the information appropriately identified in the Request for Information.  Within 90 days after any particular records are made available to Tenant (such period is referred to as the “Objection Period”), Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord’s statement of Expenses for that year which relates to the records that have been made available to Tenant.  If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any issues raised in Tenant’s Objection Notice.  If Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against the next installment of Rent in the amount of the overpayment by Tenant.  Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year are greater than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30 days.  If Tenant fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice with respect to any records that have been made available to Tenant prior to expiration of the Objection Period applicable to the records which have been provided to Tenant, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord’s statement of Expenses with respect to the matters reflected in such records and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Expenses relating to such records for that year.  If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice prior to expiration of the Review Notice Period or fails to provide Landlord with a Request for Information prior to expiration of the Request for Information Period described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord’s statement of Expenses and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Expenses for that year.

If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent must be with a CPA firm licensed to do business in the state or commonwealth where the Property is located.  Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit, and the fees charged cannot be based in whole or in part on a contingency basis.  The records and related information obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential, and applicable only to the Building, by Tenant and its auditors, consultants and other parties reviewing such records on behalf of Tenant (collectively, “Tenant’s Auditors”), and, prior to making any records available to Tenant or Tenant’s Auditors, Landlord may require Tenant and Tenant’s Auditors to each execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement (“Audit Confidentiality Agreement”) in accordance with the foregoing.  In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Expenses unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due.

EXHIBIT C

WORK LETTER

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Office Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) by and between CA-SHOREBREEZE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”) and VERSANT CORPORATION, a California corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 255 Shoreline Drive, Redwood City, California.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Lease.

As used in this Work Letter, the “Premises” shall be deemed to mean the Premises, as initially defined in the attached Lease.

1.                                       This Work Letter shall set forth the obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the improvements to be performed in the Premises for Tenant’s use.  All improvements described in this Work Letter to be constructed in and upon the Premises by Landlord are hereinafter referred to as the “Landlord Work.”  It is agreed that construction of the Landlord Work will be completed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, subject to the Allowance (as defined below).  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Plans (hereinafter defined) for the Landlord Work have not yet been prepared; provided, however that the Plans shall be substantially consistent with the space plans dated March 20, 2007 prepared by AP+I Designs and attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (the “Space Plans”).  Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for the Landlord Work with a general contractor selected by Landlord; provided, however that Landlord shall competitively bid the Landlord Work (as determined by Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion) to South Bay Construction, Venture Builders and McClarney Construction.  The general contractor with the lowest bid that commits to Landlord’s scheduling requirements (after adjustment for inconsistent qualifications, clarifications and exclusions) shall be selected.  In addition, Landlord shall have the right to select and/or approve of any subcontractors used in connection with the Landlord Work.

2.                                       Tenant shall be solely responsible for the timely preparation and submission to Landlord of the final architectural, electrical and mechanical construction drawings, plans and specifications (called “Plans”) necessary to construct the Landlord Work, which plans shall be substantially consistent with the Space Plans and shall be subject to approval by Landlord and Landlord’s architect and engineers and shall comply with their requirements to avoid aesthetic or other conflicts with the design and function of the balance of the Building.  Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment), and Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility for such design.  If requested by Tenant, Landlord’s architect will prepare the Plans necessary for such construction at Tenant’s cost.  Whether or not the layout and Plans are prepared with the help (in whole or in part) of Landlord’s architect, Tenant agrees to remain solely responsible for the timely preparation and submission of the Plans and for all elements of the design of such Plans and for all costs related thereto.  Tenant has assured itself by direct communication with the architect and engineers (Landlord’s or its own, as the case may be) that the final approved Plans can be delivered to Landlord on or before April 9, 2007 (the “Plans Due Date”), provided that Tenant promptly furnishes complete information concerning its requirements to said architect and engineers as and when requested by them.  Tenant covenants and agrees to cause said final, approved Plans to be delivered to Landlord on or before said Plans Due Date and to devote such time as may be necessary in consultation with said architect and engineers to enable them to complete and submit the Plans within the required time limit.  Time is of the essence in respect of preparation and submission of Plans by Tenant.  If the Plans are not fully completed and approved by the Plans Due Date, Tenant shall be responsible for one day of Tenant Delay (as defined in the Lease to which this Exhibit is attached) for each day during the period beginning on the day following the Plans Due Date and ending on the date completed Plans are approved.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the parties shall meet once weekly to discuss the construction of the Landlord Work.  The day and time of said meetings shall be mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant.  (The word “architect” as used in this Exhibit shall include an interior designer or space planner.)

3.                                       If Landlord’s estimate and/or the actual cost of construction shall exceed the Allowance, Landlord, prior to commencing any construction of Landlord Work, shall submit to Tenant a written estimate setting forth the anticipated cost of the Landlord Work, including but not limited to labor and materials, contractor’s fees and permit fees.  Within 3 Business Days

1

thereafter, Tenant shall either notify Landlord in writing of its approval of the cost estimate, or specify its objections thereto and any desired changes to the proposed Landlord Work.  If Tenant notifies Landlord of such objections and desired changes, Tenant shall work with Landlord to reach a mutually acceptable alternative cost estimate.

4.                                       If Landlord’s estimate and/or the actual cost of construction shall exceed the Allowance, if any (such amounts exceeding the Allowance being herein referred to as the “Excess Costs”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord such Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, within 30 days receipt of notice from Landlord.  The statements of costs submitted to Landlord by Landlord’s contractors shall be conclusive for purposes of determining the actual cost of the items described therein.  The amounts payable by Tenant hereunder constitute Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the failure to timely pay same constitutes an event of default under the Lease.

5.                                       If Tenant shall request any change, addition or alteration in any of the Plans after approval by Landlord, Landlord shall have such revisions to the drawings prepared, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, within 30 days receipt of notice from Landlord.  Promptly upon completion of the revisions, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the increased cost which will be chargeable to Tenant by reason of such change, addition or deletion.  Tenant, within one Business Day, shall notify Landlord in writing whether it desires to proceed with such change, addition or deletion.  In the absence of such written authorization, Landlord shall have the option to continue work on the Premises disregarding the requested change, addition or alteration, or Landlord may elect to discontinue work on the Premises until it receives notice of Tenant’s decision, in which event Tenant shall be responsible for any Tenant Delay in completion of the Premises resulting therefrom.  If such revisions result in a higher estimate of the cost of construction and/or higher actual construction costs which exceed the Allowance, such increased estimate or costs shall be deemed Excess Costs pursuant to Paragraph 4 hereof and Tenant shall pay such Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, upon demand.

6.                                       Following approval of the Plans and the payment by Tenant of the required portion of the Excess Costs, if any, Landlord shall cause the Landlord Work to be constructed substantially in accordance with the approved Plans.  Landlord shall notify Tenant of substantial completion of the Landlord Work.

7.                                       Landlord, provided Tenant is not in default, agrees to provide Tenant with an allowance (the “Allowance”) in an amount not to exceed $101,370.00 (i.e., $15.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) to be applied toward the cost of the Landlord Work in the Premises.  If the Allowance shall not be sufficient to complete the Landlord Work, Tenant shall pay the Excess Costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, as prescribed in Paragraph 4 above.  If the cost of the Landlord Work is less than the Allowance, Tenant, provided it is not in default under the Lease, shall be entitled to apply such unused Allowance (the “Cabling Allowance”) toward the cost of purchasing and installing telephone and computer cabling in the Premises.  All such costs, as evidenced by invoices for same, are referred to herein as the “Cabling Costs”.  Landlord shall disburse the Cabling Allowance, or applicable portion thereof (not to exceed the actual Cabling Costs), to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the later to occur of (i) receipt of paid invoices from Tenant with respect to Tenant’s actual Cabling Costs, and (ii) completion of the Landlord Work.  However, notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of the Allowance which exceeds the cost of the Landlord Work and the Cabling Costs or is otherwise remaining after November 30, 2007, shall accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord, it being agreed that Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, offset, abatement or payment with respect thereto.  Landlord shall be entitled to deduct from the Allowance a construction management fee for Landlord’s oversight of the Landlord Work in an amount equal to 3% of the total cost of the Landlord Work.

8.                                       This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.

EXHIBIT F

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Office Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) by and between CA-SHOREBREEZE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”) and VERSANT CORPORATION, a California corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 255 Shoreline Drive, Redwood City, California.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Lease.

1.                                       Renewal Option.

A.                                   Grant of Option; Conditions.  Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term (the “Renewal Option”) for one additional period of one (1) year commencing on the day following the Termination Date of the initial Term and ending on the first anniversary of the Termination Date (the “Renewal Term”), if:

1.                                       Landlord receives notice of exercise (“Initial Renewal Notice”) not less than 6 full calendar months prior to the expiration of the initial Term and not more than 9 full calendar months prior to the expiration of the initial Term; and

2.                                       Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure periods at the time that Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or at the time Tenant delivers its Binding Notice (as defined below); and

3.                                       No part of the Premises is sublet (other than pursuant to a Business Transfer, as defined in Section 11.04 of the Lease) at the time that Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or at the time Tenant delivers its Binding Notice; and

4.                                       The Lease has not been assigned (other than pursuant to a Business Transfer, as defined in Section 11.04 of the Lease) prior to the date that Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or prior to the date Tenant delivers its Binding Notice.

B.                                     Terms Applicable to Premises During Renewal Term.

1.                                       The initial Base Rent rate per rentable square foot for the Premises during the Renewal Term shall equal the Prevailing Market (hereinafter defined) rate per rentable square foot for the Premises.  Base Rent during the Renewal Term shall increase, if at all, in accordance with the increases assumed in the determination of Prevailing Market rate.  Base Rent attributable to the Premises shall be payable in monthly installments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease.

2.                                       Tenant shall pay Additional Rent (i.e. Taxes and Expenses) for the Premises during the Renewal Term in accordance with the Lease, and the manner and method in which Tenant reimburses Landlord for Tenant’s share of Taxes and Expenses and the Base Year, if any, applicable to such matter, shall be some of the factors considered in determining the Prevailing Market rate for the Renewal Term.

C.                                     Procedure for Determining Prevailing Market.  Within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s Initial Renewal Notice, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the applicable Base Rent rate for the Premises for the Renewal Term (“Landlord’s Renewal Base Rent Notice”), which shall reflect the Prevailing Market rate (described below in this Section) per rentable square foot for the Premises.  Tenant, within 15 days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Renewal Base Rent Notice, shall either (i) give Landlord written notice (“Binding Notice”) that Tenant accepts the Base Rent rate for the Premises for the Renewal Term described in Landlord’s Renewal Base Rent Notice, in which event the parties shall enter into the Renewal Amendment as described in the “Renewal Amendment”) provision below, or (ii) if Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of the applicable Base Rent rate for the Premises during the Renewal Term, provide Landlord with written notice of rejection (the “Rejection Notice”).  If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with either a Binding Notice or Rejection Notice within such 15 day

4

period, Tenant’s Renewal Option shall be null and void and of no further force and effect.  If Tenant provides Landlord with a Binding Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment (as defined below) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.  If Tenant provides Landlord with a Rejection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the Renewal Term.  When Landlord and Tenant have agreed upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises, such agreement shall be reflected in a written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, whether in a letter or otherwise (and such shall be deemed a “Binding Notice”, for purposes herein), and Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the Renewal Amendment in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises within 30 days after the date Tenant provides Landlord with the Rejection Notice, Tenant’s Renewal Option shall be deemed to be null and void and of no force and effect.

D.                                    Renewal Amendment.  If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its Renewal Option, and if Tenant provides Landlord with a Binding Notice (as described above) or Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises applicable during the Renewal Term, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “Renewal Amendment”) to reflect changes in the Base Rent, Term, Termination Date and other appropriate terms.  The Renewal Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt of the Binding Notice or other written agreement by Landlord and Tenant regarding the Prevailing Market rate, and Tenant shall execute and return the Renewal Amendment to Landlord within 15 days after Tenant’s receipt of same, but, upon final determination of the Prevailing Market rate applicable during the Renewal Term as described herein, an otherwise valid exercise of the Renewal Option shall be fully effective whether or not the Renewal Amendment is executed.

E.                                      Definition of Prevailing Market. For purposes of this Renewal Option, “Prevailing Market” shall mean the arms length fair market annual rental rate per rentable square foot under renewal leases and amendments entered into on or about the date on which the Prevailing Market is being determined hereunder for space comparable to the Premises in the Building and office buildings comparable to the Building in the Redwood City, California area.  The determination of Prevailing Market shall take into account any material economic differences between the terms of this Lease and any comparison lease or amendment, such as rent abatements, construction costs and other concessions, and the manner, if any, in which the landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for operating expenses and taxes.  The determination of Prevailing Market shall also take into consideration any reasonably anticipated changes in the Prevailing Market rate from the time such Prevailing Market rate is being determined and the time such Prevailing Market rate will become effective under this Lease.

2.                                       Supplemental HVAC.  To the extent included in the Plans described in Exhibit C attached to this Lease, Landlord shall install a supplemental HVAC unit (“Supplemental HVAC”) and submeter for use in Tenant’s computer room located in the Premises, subject to the terms of the Work Letter and this Section.  The size and design of the supplemental HVAC unit(s) and the manner in which the Supplemental HVAC units will be vented and access outside air, if applicable, shall be subject to Landlord’s prior reasonable written approval.  Tenant shall be responsible, at its cost, for maintaining and repairing the Supplemental HVAC unit and submeter to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and the cost of electricity that is consumed by the Supplemental HVAC as measured by the submeter.  In no event, however, shall the size of Tenant’s Supplemental HVAC unit exceed five (5) tons.  Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, title to the Supplemental HVAC unit and submeter shall pass to Landlord.

3.                                       Additional Provisions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease:

A.                                   Permitted Use.  No portion of the Premises shall be used for any of the following uses:  any pornographic or obscene purposes, any commercial sex establishment, any pornographic, obscene, nude or semi-nude performances, modeling, materials, activities, or sexual conduct or any other use that, as of the time of the execution hereof, has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Property or its use, operation or value.

5

B.                                     Proceeds.

1.                                       Nothing in the Lease shall be deemed to prevent Proceeds (defined below) from being held and disbursed by any Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of the applicable Mortgage loan documents. However, if, in the event of any Casualty or partial Taking, any obligation of Landlord under the Lease to restore the Premises or the Building is materially diminished by the operation of the preceding sentence, then Landlord, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of such Casualty or partial Taking, shall provide written notice to Tenant describing such diminution with reasonably specificity, whereupon Tenant, by written notice to Landlord delivered within 10 days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, shall have the right to terminate the Lease effective 10 days after the date of such termination notice.

2.                                       Nothing in the Lease shall be deemed to entitle Tenant to receive and retain Proceeds except those that may be specifically awarded to it in condemnation proceedings because of the Taking of its trade fixtures and its leasehold improvements which have not become part of the Property and such business loss as Tenant may specifically and separately establish.  Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to expand any right Tenant may have under the Lease to receive or retain any Proceeds.

3.                                       As used herein, “Proceeds” means any compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, causes or rights of action (whenever accrued) or payments which Landlord may receive or to which Landlord may become entitled with respect to the Property or any part thereof (other than payments received in connection with any liability or loss of rental value or business interruption insurance) in connection with any Taking of or any Casualty or other damage or injury to the Property or any part thereof.

4.                                       Tenant shall not store or permit its employees to store any automobiles in the Parking Facility without the prior written consent of the operator.  Except for emergency repairs, Tenant and its employees shall not perform any work on any automobiles while located in the Parking Facility, or on the Property.  If it is necessary for Tenant or its employees to leave an automobile in the Parking Facility overnight, Tenant shall provide the operator with prior notice thereof designating the license plate number and model of such automobile.

5.                                       LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, INJURY OR DAMAGE TO PERSONS USING THE PARKING FACILITY OR AUTOMOBILES OR OTHER PROPERTY THEREIN, IT BEING AGREED THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE USE OF THE SPACES SHALL BE AT THE SOLE RISK OF TENANT AND ITS EMPLOYEES.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, TENANT HEREBY VOLUNTARILY RELEASES, DISCHARGES, WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES ANY AND ALL ACTIONS OR CAUSES OF ACTION FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OCCURRING TO TENANT ARISING AS A RESULT OF PARKING IN THE PARKING FACILITY, OR ANY ACTIVITIES INCIDENTAL THERETO, WHEREVER OR HOWEVER THE SAME MAY OCCUR, AND

FURTHER AGREES THAT TENANT WILL NOT PROSECUTE ANY CLAIM FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE AGAINST LANDLORD OR ANY OF THE LANDLORD RELATED PARTIES FOR ANY SAID CAUSES OF ACTION.  IN ALL EVENTS, TENANT AGREES TO LOOK FIRST TO ITS INSURANCE CARRIER AND TO REQUIRE THAT TENANT’S EMPLOYEES LOOK FIRST TO THEIR RESPECTIVE INSURANCE CARRIERS FOR PAYMENT OF ANY LOSSES SUSTAINED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY USE OF THE PARKING FACILITY.  TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ON BEHALF OF ITS INSURANCE CARRIERS ALL RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION AGAINST LANDLORD OR LANDLORD RELATED PARTIES.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, but except as provided in Section 15 of the Lease (Subrogation) and Section 20 of the Lease (Limitation of Liability) to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to waive any claims against Landlord (other than for loss or damage to Tenant’s business) where such loss or damage is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties.

6.                                       Tenant shall not assign its rights under this Parking Agreement or sublease any of the parking spaces without the consent of Landlord, except in connection with an assignment or sublease pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 11 of this Lease.  Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Parking Agreement with respect to any parking spaces that Tenant desires to sublet or assign its rights thereto, except in connection with an assignment or sublease pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 11 of this Lease.

7.                                       Landlord hereby reserves the right to enter into a management agreement or lease with another entity for the operation of the Parking Facility (“Operator”).  In such event, Tenant, upon request of Landlord, shall enter into a parking agreement upon substantially the same terms hereunder with the Operator and pay the Operator the monthly charge established hereunder, and Landlord shall have no liability for claims arising through acts or omissions of the Operator.  It is understood and agreed that the identity of the Operator may change from time to time during the Term.  In connection therewith, any parking lease or agreement entered into between Tenant and any Operator shall be freely assignable by such Operator or any successors thereto.
