AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO

LEASE DATED NOVEMBER 29, 1999

BRISBANE TECHNOLOGY PARK

 

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO LEASE (“Amendment”), dated November 25, 2002, is made
and entered into by and between GAL-BRISBANE, L.P., a California limited
partnership (“Landlord”), IGN ENTERTAINMENT, INC., a Delaware corporation,
formerly known as SNOWBALL.COM, INC. (“Tenant”).

 

A. Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease dated November 29, 1999
(the “Original lease”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease
dated May 4, 2000 (the “First Amendment”), that certain Amendment No. 2 to Lease
dated November 16, 2000 (the “Second Amendment”), that certain Amendment No. 3
to Lease dated July 16, 2001 (which never became effective) (the “Third
Amendment”), and that certain Amendment No. 4 dated March 13, 2002 (the “Fourth
Amendment”). The Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second
Amendment, the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment is herein referred to as
the “Lease”. Pursuant to the Original Lease, Landlord leased to Tenant premises
within Building A (the “Building A Premises”) at 3280 Bayshore Boulevard,
Brisbane, California, premises within Building B (the “Building B Premises”) at
3260 Bayshore Boulevard, Brisbane, California, and premises within Building C
(the “Building C Premises”) at 3240 Bayshore Boulevard, Brisbane, California. As
a result of the First, Second, and Third Amendments, the Lease has been
terminated at to the Building A and Building B Premises and, as a result of the
Fourth Amendment, Tenant’s premises were further limited to 13,606 s.f. located
on the first floor of Building C as shown on the Plan attached thereto as
Exhibit A.

 

B. Tenant desires to expand its premises to 18,566 s.f. by relocating to that
area of the first floor of Building C shown on the Plan attached hereto as
Exhibit A and Landlord is amenable to such expansion and relocation.

 

THEREFORE, the Lease is hereby further amended as follows:

 

  1.   As of January 1, 2003, the “Tenant’s Premises” shall be relocated to the
area on the first floor of Building C designated as “Tenant’s Premises” on the
Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A and such Exhibit A shall replace Exhibit A of
the Fourth Amendment.

 

  2.   So long as the Tenant’s Premises is located in the area designated on
Exhibit A hereto, the Server Room shall be included within the Tenant’s Premises
and Tenant’s right to use of the Server Room shall be rights of exclusive use to
the same extent as the balance of Tenant’s Premises rather than a “non-exclusive
license.” In the event Landlord elects to relocate Tenant pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Lease and if Landlord elects not to require relocation of
the Server Room, Tenant’s right to the non-exclusive license to Server Room as
provided in the Fourth Amendment shall thereupon become applicable.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

  3.   Commencing January 1, 2003, the Rentable Area of the Premises shall be
18,566 rentable square feet for all purposes under the Lease including
calculation of Base Rent, Additional Rent, Operating Expenses and the amount of
the Security Deposit. In the event the effective date of this Amendment No. 5 to
Lease occurs subsequent to January 1, 2003, there shall be an adjustment of Base
Rent, Additional Rent and Operating Expenses retroactive to January 1, 2003.

 

  4.   The number of parking spaces allocated to Tenant under Paragraph 30 of
the Lease is changed to 63, effective as of the effective date of this Amendment
No. 5 to Lease.

 

  5.   Until the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, Landlord and any
tenant of Landlord in the south side of the first floor of Building C shall have
the right to use any cubicles and furniture of Tenant located in the south side
of the first floor of Building C, and Tenant shall have the right to use any
Excess Furniture of Landlord, other than that located in the south side of the
first floor of Building C, all without the payment of any separate rental
therefor.

 

  6.   This Amendment No. 5 shall become effective upon the date of execution of
the Consent appended hereto.

 

EXCEPT AS AMENDED HEREIN, all terms and conditions of the Lease, including the
First, Second, Third, and Fourth Amendments thereto, remain in full force and
effect and are hereby ratified and affirmed.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Amendment No. 5 to
Lease as of the date first above written.
