This Sublease shall be in full force and effect upon execution of this Sublease by Sublandlord and Subtenant; provided that, notwithstanding Section 2.1 above, in no event will the Commencement Date occur until Landlord executes a consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the Consent). In the event that Landlord does not execute the Consent within fifteen (15) business days of the Effective Date, either party hereto shall have the right to terminate this Sublease by written notice to the other party. Upon such termination, the Deposit and any prepaid rent shall be promptly returned to Subtenant.

(c) Base Rent shall be paid on the first day of each month of the Term, except that Subtenant shall pay the first months Base Rent to Sublandlord upon execution of this Sublease. If the Term does not begin on the first day of the month or end on the last day of a month, the Base Rent and Additional Rent (hereinafter defined) for that partial month shall be prorated by multiplying the monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the partial month included in the Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the full calendar month. All Rent (hereinafter defined) shall be payable in lawful money of the United States, by regular bank check of Subtenant, to Sublandlord at the address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other places as Sublandlord may designate in writing.
3.2 Expenses and Utilities.

(1) Additional Rent shall mean the sums payable pursuant to subparagraph 3.2(b) of this Sublease.
(2) Operating Expenses shall mean Additional Rent, as defined in Section 3(A) of the Master Lease, Reimbursable Expenses and Utilities, as defined in Section 10 of the Master Lease, all amounts due under Section 11 of the Master Lease, and all other operating expenses, fees, reimbursable costs and utilities which are the responsibility of the Lessee under the Master Lease.
(3) Rent shall mean, collectively, Base Rent, Additional Rent, and all other sums payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease, whether or not expressly designated as rent, all of which are deemed and designated as rent pursuant to the terms of this Sublease.
(b) In addition to the Base Rent payable pursuant to Section 3.1 above, from and after the Commencement Date, for each calendar year of the Term, Subtenant, as Additional Rent, shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of all Operating Expenses payable by Sublandlord under the Master Lease, within ten (10) days of receiving an invoice therefor. In the event that Landlord bills Sublandlord monthly for an estimated amount of such expenses, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord on the first day of each month as Additional Rent such estimated amount of Operating Expenses. Sublandlord shall give Subtenant copies of all invoices received from Landlord regarding Operating Expenses.
(c) For partial calendar years during the term of this Sublease, the amount of Additional Rent payable pursuant to this subsection that is applicable to that partial calendar year shall be prorated based on the ratio of the number of days of such partial calendar year falling during the term of this Sublease to 365. The expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease shall not affect the obligations of Sublandlord and Subtenant pursuant to Section 3.2 which arise prior to such expiration or termination, and such obligations shall survive, remain to be performed after, any expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.
3.3 Payment of Rent to Landlord. Notwithstanding Sections 3.1 and 3.2 above, Sublandlord agrees that Subtenant may pay all Base Rent and Additional Rent directly to Landlord, provided that Subtenant concurrently sends to Sublandlord a copy or other evidence of such payment.
4. Security Deposit.
4.1 Concurrently with Subtenants execution and delivery of this Sublease, and as security for its obligations under the Sublease, Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord the sum of One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000) as a security deposit, in cash or in the form of a Letter of Credit, as defined below (the Deposit). The Deposit shall be held by Sublandlord as security for the faithful performance by Subtenant of all the provisions of this Sublease to be performed or observed by Subtenant. If Subtenant fails to pay rent or other sums due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provisions of this Sublease, Sublandlord may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Deposit for the payment of any rent or other sum in default or for the payment of any other sum to which Sublandlord may become obligated by reason of Subtenants default, or to compensate Sublandlord for any loss or damage which Sublandlord may suffer thereby. If Sublandlord so uses or applies all or any portion of the Deposit, Subtenant shall within ten (10) days after demand therefor deposit cash or an amended or replacement letter of credit with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Deposit to the full amount thereof and Subtenants failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Sublease. In the event the Deposit is cash, Sublandlord shall keep the Deposit in a separate interest-bearing account approved by Subtenant, with interest distributed semi-annually to Subtenant. If Subtenant performs all of Subtenants obligations hereunder, the Deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Sublandlord, shall be returned, along with
all accrued but unpaid interest, so Subtenant (or, at Sublandlords option, to the last assignee, if any, of Subtenants interest hereunder) following the expiration of the Term, and after Subtenant has vacated the Premises. No trust relationship is created herein between Sublandlord and Subtenant with respect to the Deposit.
4.2 For the purposes for this Section, Letter of Credit means an unconditional, irrevocable sight draft letter of credit issued by the San Francisco or San Jose office of a major national bank satisfactory to Sublandlord, naming Sublandlord as beneficiary and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Sublandlord. The Letter of Credit shall be for a one-year term and shall provide: (i) that Sublandlord may make partial and multiple draws thereunder, (ii) that draws shall be payable upon presentment of a clean sight draft only, (iii) that in the event of Sublandlords assignment or other transfer of its interest in the Lease, the Letter of Credit shall be freely transferable by Sublandlord, without charge to Sublandlord or the assignee or transferee of such interest, (iv) that it is governed by the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 revisions), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500; and (v) that the Letter of Credit will be automatically renewed upon the expiration of its term for additional one year periods, with a final expiration date of February 1, 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the bank does not confirm the extension of the Letter of Credit at least 30 days prior to the relevant annual expiration date or if Subtenant does not substitute a replacement Letter of Credit in the applicable draw amount by such date, Sublandlord shall be entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit and to hold and apply such funds as an additional Security Deposit in accordance with the terms of the Sublease. If Subtenant fails to pay rent or other charges due under the Sublease, or otherwise defaults, after applicable notice and cure periods, if any, with respect to any provision of the Sublease, Sublandlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit up to the full amount to which Sublandlord is entitled under Section 4.1 above.
5. Use and Occupancy.
5.1 Use and Signage. The Subleased Premises shall be used and occupied only for the uses permitted under the Master Lease and for not other use or purpose, except that, in the event that Landlord consents in writing to Subtenants use of the Subleased Premises as research and development in addition to general office, such use shall also be permitted, provided Subtenant does not use, store or transport to or from the Premises any toxic or hazardous materials or waste, other than as provided in the Master Lease.
5.2 Compliance with Master Lease.
(a) Subtenant agrees that it will occupy the Subleased Premises in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease and will not suffer to be done or omit to do any act which may result in a violation of or a default under any of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease, or render Sublandlord liable for any damage, charge or expense thereunder.
(b) Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall not be required to perform any of the covenants, agreements and/or obligations of Landlord under the Master Lease and, insofar as any of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Sublandlord hereunder are required to be performed under the Master Lease by Landlord thereunder, Subtenant
acknowledges and agrees that Sublandlord shall be entitled to look to Landlord for such performance. Sublandlord shall not be responsible for any failure or interruption, for any reason whatsoever, of the services or facilities that may be appurtenant to or supplied at the Building by Landlord or otherwise, including, without limitation, heat, air conditioning, ventilation, life-safety, water, electricity, elevator service and cleaning service, if any; and no failure to furnish, or interruption of, any such services or facilities shall give rise to any (i) abatement, diminution or reduction of Subtenants obligations under this Sublease, except to the extent provided in the Master Lease, or (ii) liability on the part of Sublandlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord shall promptly take such action as may reasonably be indicated, under the circumstances, to secure such performance upon Subtenants request to Sublandlord to do so and shall thereafter diligently prosecute such performance on the part of Landlord.

Subtenant shall have all other rights and obligations of Sublandlord as tenant under the Master Lease, but only to the extent that a subtenant is permitted to obtain the benefit of such rights under the terms of the Master Lease.
6.6 During the Term and for all periods subsequent thereto with respect to obligations which have arisen prior to the termination of this Sublease, Subtenant agrees to perform and comply with, for the benefit of Sublandlord and Landlord, the obligations of Sublandlord under the Master Lease which pertains to the Subleased Premises and/or this Sublease, except for those provisions of the Master Lease which are directly contradicted by this Sublease, in which event the terms of this Sublease document shall control over the Master Lease.
6.7 Sublandlord agrees to maintain the Master Lease, as it pertains to the Subleased Premises, during the entire term of this Sublease, and to use its reasonable efforts to cause Landlord to comply with or perform the obligations of Landlord under the Master Lease.

7.2 As a condition to Sublandlords consent, Subtenant will pay all expenses incurred by Sublandlord concerning such transfer request and subtenants assignee or sublessee will assume in writing the obligations of Subtenant arising under this Sublease. No consent to any such transfer will relieve Subtenant of Subtenants obligations under this Sublease. Consent to any one transfer will not relieve Subtenant from Subtenants obligation to obtain express, prior, written consent to any further sublease or assignment. The acceptance of rent by Sublandlord from any other person will not be deemed to be either a waiver by Sublandlord of any provision of this Section or a consent to any such transfer.
8. Termination of Master Lease. If for any reason the term of the Master Lease shall terminate prior to the scheduled Expiration Date, this Sublease shall thereupon be terminated and Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant by reason thereof unless (i) Subtenant shall not then be in default hereunder beyond and applicable notice and cure period and (ii) such termination shall have been effected because of the breach or default of Sublandlord under the Master Lease or by reason of the voluntary termination or surrender of the Master Lease by Sublandlord.
