ARTICLE 2



LEASED PREMISES, TERM AND POSSESSION




2.1 Demise Of Leased Premises. Subject to Paragraph 2.4 and Article 7 below, Landlord hereby
leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord for Tenant’s own use in the conduct of Tenant’s business and not for
purposes of speculating in real estate, for the Lease Term and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Lease, that certain property described in Article 1 as the Leased Premises. Tenant’s lease of the Leased Premises
shall be conditioned upon and be subject to the continuing compliance by Tenant with (i) all the terms and
conditions of this Lease, (ii) all Laws governing the use of the Leased Premises, (iii) all Private Restrictions,
easements and other matters now of public record respecting the use of the Leased Premises, and (iv) all reasonable
rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord as set forth in Paragraph 4.12 below.




2.2 Intentionally Deleted.




2.3 Lease Commencement Date; Lease Term. Subject to Paragraph 2.4 below, the term of this Lease shall begin, and the Lease Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred, on the Intended Commencement Date, as set
forth in Article 1 (the “Lease Commencement Date”), and the term of this Lease shall end on the Lease Expiration
Date (as set forth in Article 1). The “Lease Term” shall be that period of time commencing on the Lease
Commencement Date and ending on the Lease Expiration Date.




2.4 Delivery Of Possession and Termination of Existing Lease; Tenant’s Right to Terminate.




          (a) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant possession of the Leased Premises under this Lease on
the Intended Commencement Date. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that prior to and as of the Effective Date
of this Lease, Tenant has been and is in possession of the entire Leased Premises pursuant to that certain
Sublease Agreement dated October 4, 1995, by and between Atari Games Corporation, a California corporation (or
the successor-in-interest thereto, “Atari”), and Tenant, as successor-by-merger to C-Cube Microsystems, Inc.,
which Sublease Agreement was made under that certain Lease dated April 1, 1995 between Landlord and Atari (as
amended, the “Existing Lease”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Lease,
Landlord’s obligation to deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant under this Lease is hereby expressly
conditioned on the execution by Landlord and Tenant and Atari of a termination agreement (a “Termination
Agreement”), reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant, terminating the Existing Lease. If the condition
precedent set forth in the preceding sentence has not been met on or before the Intended Commencement Date, then Landlord
shall not be in default under this Lease, nor shall this Lease be void, voidable or cancelable by Landlord or
Tenant until the lapse of ninety (90) days after the Intended Commencement Date (the “Delivery Grace Period”), and the
Lease Commencement Date shall not be deemed to have occurred until Landlord and Tenant and Atari
have executed a Termination Agreement, in which event the Lease Commencement Date shall be one (1) day after
the effective termination date of the Existing Lease as set forth in the Termination Agreement. If Landlord
or Tenant or Atari has not executed a Termination Agreement, or if Landlord shall not have delivered possession of
the Leased Premises to Tenant as contemplated by this Lease, within the Delivery Grace Period, then either Landlord
or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease. Such right to terminate shall be each party’s sole remedy
for such delay, and in no event shall either party be liable in damages to the other party for such delay.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, both Landlord and Tenant shall use their best efforts to negotiate and execute the Termination
Agreement prior to the Intended Commencement Date. In the event that the Lease Commencement Date does not occur on
the Intended Commencement Date, the parties shall memorialize the Lease Commencement Date and the Lease
Termination Date
in a mutually acceptable letter to be signed by each party.




          (b) Tenant or any Successor Entity (as hereinafter defined), but not any other transferee,
shall have the
right to terminate this Lease effective at the end of the sixtieth (60th) month of
the Lease Term (the “Termination
Date”) by providing Landlord with at least two hundred seventy (270) days advance written
notice and paying
Landlord on or before the Termination Date a termination fee in an amount equal to the sum of
(i) that portion of the
brokerage commissions paid by Landlord in connection with the execution of this Lease that has
not been amortized
as of the Lease Termination Date (Landlord shall promptly provide Tenant with such amount
together with such




 - 3 -









 








supporting documentation as Tenant may reasonably request) and (ii) three times the Base
Monthly Rent and Property Operating Expenses then in effect.




2.5 Acceptance Of Possession. TENANT
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TENANT HAS BEEN IN POSSESSION OF THE LEASED PREMISES PRIOR TO THE
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS LEASE AND THAT BY CONTINUING TO OCCUPY THE LEASED PREMISES PURSUANT
TO THIS LEASE, TENANT SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE LEASED PREMISES IN “AS-IS”
CONDITION AS OF THE DATE OF THIS LEASE. EXCEPT FOR ANY EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF LANDLORD SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE (THE “EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS”), LANDLORD DOES NOT,
 BY THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS LEASE, AND LANDLORD SHALL NOT, BY THE EXECUTION AND
DELIVERY OF ANY DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE,
 MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER,
WITH RESPECT TO THE LEASED PREMISES, AND ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY
DISCLAIMED. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING PROVISION, LANDLORD MAKES, AND
SHALL MAKE, NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY AS TO MATTERS OF ZONING, TAX CONSEQUENCES, PHYSICAL
OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS, ORDERS AND
REQUIREMENTS PERTAINING TO THE USE, HANDLING, GENERATION, TREATMENT, STORAGE OR DISPOSAL OF ANY
TOXIC OR HAZARDOUS WASTE OR TOXIC, HAZARDOUS OR REGULATED SUBSTANCE), VALUATION, GOVERNMENTAL
APPROVALS, GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS OR ANY OTHER MATTER OR THING RELATING TO OR AFFECTING THE
LEASED PREMISES (THE “DISCLAIMED MATTERS”). TENANT AGREES THAT, WITH RESPECT TO THE
 LEASED PREMISES, TENANT HAS NOT RELIED UPON AND WILL NOT RELY UPON, EITHER DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF LANDLORD OTHER THAN THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS.
TENANT WILL CONDUCT SUCH INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS OF THE LEASED PREMISES (INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, THE PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION THEREOF) AND RELY UPON SAME.




2.6 Surrender Of Possession. Upon the expiration
or upon the sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s signs
from the exterior of the Building and shall remove all of Tenant’s inventory, equipment,
trade fixtures, furniture, supplies, wall decorations and other personal property (collectively,
“Tenant’s FF&E”) from within the Leased Premises, including the Building
and the Outside Areas, and shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises, and all portions
thereof, to Landlord broom clean and in good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
Tenant shall repair all damage to the Leased Premises, and all portions thereof, caused by
Tenant’s removal of Tenant’s property. Tenant shall patch and refinish, to
Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, all penetrations made by Tenant or its employees to
the floor, walls or ceiling of the Leased Premises, whether such penetrations were made with
Landlord’s approval or not. Tenant shall repair or replace all stained or damaged ceiling
tiles, wall coverings and floor coverings to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant
shall repair all damage caused by Tenant to the exterior surface of the Building and the paved
surfaces of the Outside Areas and, where necessary, replace or resurface same. Additionally,
to the extent that Landlord shall have notified Tenant in writing at the time Landlord approved
any improvements requiring Landlord approval that it desired to have such improvements removed
at the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease (“Required Removables”), Tenant
 shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, remove the Required Removables
 and repair all damage caused by such removal. If Tenant fails to comply with the terms of this
Paragraph 2.6, Landlord may perform Tenant’s obligations at Tenant’s expense,
and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in
performing such obligations for Tenant (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of
Landlord’s oversight of removal, repair and replacement work). Tenant shall pay to Landlord
the amount of all costs so incurred within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s delivery to
 Tenant of an invoice together with reasonable supporting information. Tenant shall indemnify
Landlord against loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in surrendering the Leased
Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant or any losses
to Landlord with respect to lost opportunities to lease to succeeding tenants.

     (a) An amount equal to all Property Operating Expenses (as defined in Paragraph 13.12)
incurred by Landlord. Payment shall be made by whichever of the following methods (or combination
of methods) are from time to time designated by Landlord:



          (i) Landlord may forward invoices or bills for such Property Operating Expenses to Tenant,
and Tenant shall, no later than fifteen (15) days following receipt of such invoices or bills from
Landlord, pay such invoices or bills and deliver satisfactory evidence of such payment to
Landlord, and/or




          (ii) Landlord may bill to Tenant, on a periodic basis not more frequently than monthly, the
amount of such Property Operating Expenses (or group of Property Operating Expenses) as paid or

Expenses within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written bill therefor from Landlord, and/or




          (iii) Except for any Property Operating Expenses which Tenant does not pay for directly in

the ensuing calendar or fiscal year, in an amount as Landlord may reasonably determine, and Tenant
shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the estimated amount of such expenses for such year in

days before such Real Property Taxes become delinquent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord
shall have the right to contest the amount or validity of any Real Property Taxes, in whole or in
part, by appropriate administrative and legal proceedings, and to instruct Tenant to postpone
payment of any such contested Real Property Taxes pending the prosecution of such proceedings and
any appeals.

3.3 Year-End Adjustments; Audits. If Landlord bills Tenant for the Property Operating
Expenses (or any group of such expenses) on an estimated basis in accordance with the provisions of
Paragraph 3.2(a)(iii) above, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant within three months following the end
of the applicable calendar or fiscal year, as the case may be, a statement and reasonably
sufficient back-up information setting forth (i) the amount of such expenses paid or incurred
during the just ended calendar or fiscal year, as appropriate, and (ii) the amount that Tenant has
paid to Landlord for credit against such expenses for such period. If Tenant shall have paid more
than its obligation for such expenses for the stated period, Landlord shall, at its election,
either (i) credit the amount of such overpayment toward the next ensuing payment or payments of
Rent that would otherwise be due or (ii) refund in cash to Tenant the amount of such overpayment.
If such year-end statement shall show that Tenant did not pay its obligation for such expenses in
full, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such underpayment within thirty (30) days
from Landlord’s billing of same to Tenant. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. In the event Tenant objects in writing to any such
year-end statement within ninety (90) days after receipt of such statement, then Tenant shall have
the right, during the six (6) month period following delivery of such statement, at Tenant’s sole
cost (except in the case where Tenant shows Landlord overcharged by at least 5% in which case
Landlord shall reimburse for this cost, to the extent reasonably an actually incurred by Tenant),
to review in Landlord’s offices Landlord’s records relevant to such statement. Such review shall be
subject to Landlord’s reasonable audit procedures and shall be performed only by Tenant’s internal
audit team, an independent firm of certified public accountants or another party, in any case which
firm or party is (a) reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (b) not compensated on a contingency fee
basis or in any other manner which is dependent upon the results of such audit or inspection (and
Tenant shall deliver the fee agreement or other similar evidence of such fee arrangement to
Landlord upon request) and (c) agrees with Landlord in writing to maintain the results of such
audit confidential. If, as of the date ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of such year-end
statement, Tenant shall not have objected thereto in writing, or if, during the six (6) month
period following delivery of such statement, Tenant shall not have carried out a review of
Landlord’s records, then such year-end statement shall be final and binding upon Landlord and
Tenant, and Tenant shall have no further right to object to such statement. If Tenant timely
delivers a written objection to a year-end statement and, within such six (6) month period, Tenant
conducts an audit and delivers to Landlord a written statement specifying objections to such annual
statement, then Tenant and Landlord shall meet to attempt to resolve such objection within ten (10)
business days after delivery of the objection statement. If such objection is not resolved within
such ten (10) business day period, then either party shall have the right, at any time within sixty
(60) days after the expiration of such ten (10) business day period, to require that the dispute be
submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. If
neither Landlord nor Tenant commences an arbitration proceeding within such sixty (60) day period,
then the year-end statement in question shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant.
Notwithstanding that any such dispute remains unresolved, Tenant shall be obligated to pay Landlord
all amounts payable in accordance with this Paragraph 3 (including any disputed amount). The audit
and arbitration procedures set forth in this Paragraph 3.3 shall be Tenant’s exclusive remedy with
respect to the calculation of the amount of Tenant’s obligations under Paragraph 3.2.




3.4 Late Charge, And Interest On Rent In Default. Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by
Tenant of any monthly installment of Base Monthly Rent or any Additional Rent will cause
Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses not contemplated under this Lease, the exact
amounts of which are extremely difficult or impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will
include without limitation, administration and collection costs and processing and accounting
expenses. Therefore, if any installment of Base Monthly Rent or any Additional Rent is not received
by Landlord from Tenant within ten (10) calendar days after the same becomes due, Tenant
shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to the Late Charge Amount (as defined
in Paragraph 1.1). Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable
estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the anticipated
loss Landlord would suffer by reason of Tenant’s failure to make timely payment. In no event
shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of
time within which to pay any rental installment or prevent Landlord from exercising any right
or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay each rental installment due
under this Lease when due, including the right to terminate this Lease. If any rent remains
delinquent for a period in excess often (10) calendar days, then, in addition to such late
charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any rent that is not so paid from the date due
until paid at the then maximum rate of interest not prohibited or made usurious by Law.




3.5 Payment Of Rent. Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, Rent shall be paid in
lawful money of the United States, without any abatement, reduction or offset for any reason
whatsoever, to Landlord at such




 - 6 -









 








address as Landlord may designate from time to time. Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly
Rent and Additional Rent shall be appropriately prorated at the commencement and expiration of the
Lease Term. The failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Rent as required pursuant to this Lease
when due shall be treated the same as a failure by Tenant to pay Base Monthly, and Landlord shall
have the same rights and remedies against Tenant as Landlord would have had Tenant failed to pay
the Base Monthly Rent when due.




3.6 Prepaid Rent. Tenant shall not be required to make any advance payment of rent as a credit
against the first payment of Base Monthly Rent due hereunder. Tenant shall be entitled, at
its option, to a refund or credit of the difference between the Base Monthly Rent specified
in this Lease and the amounts paid to Landlord as base monthly rent under the Existing Lease
retroactive to February 15, 2004.




3.7 Security Deposit. Upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the
amount set forth in Article 1 as the “Security Deposit” as security for the performance by
Tenant of the terms of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, and not as prepayment of rent.
Landlord may apply such portion or portions of the Security Deposit as are reasonably
necessary for the following purposes: (i) to remedy any Event of Default by Tenant in
the payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent or a late charge or interest on defaulted
rent, or any other monetary payment obligation of Tenant under this Lease; (ii) to repair
damage to the Leased Premises caused or permitted to occur by Tenant; (iii) to clean and
restore and repair the Leased Premises following their surrender to Landlord if not
surrendered in the condition required pursuant to the provisions of Article 2, and (iv) to remedy
any other Event of Default of Tenant to the extent permitted by Law including, without
limitation, paying in full on Tenant’s behalf any sums claimed by materialmen or contractors
of Tenant to be owing to them by Tenant for work done or improvements made at Tenant’s
request to the Leased Premises. In this regard, Tenant hereby waives any restriction on the
uses to which the Security Deposit may be applied as contained in Section 1950.7(c) of
the California Civil Code and/or any successor statute. In the event the Security Deposit or
any portion thereof is so used, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, promptly upon demand, an amount
in cash sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full original sum. Landlord shall
not be deemed a trustee of the Security Deposit. Landlord may use the Security Deposit in
Landlord’s ordinary business and shall not be required to segregate it from
Landlord’s general accounts. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security
Deposit. If Landlord transfers the Leased Premises or any portion thereof during the Lease
Term, Landlord may pay the Security Deposit to any subsequent owner in conformity with the
provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and/or any successor statute, in
which event the transferring landlord shall be released from all liability for the return of
the Security Deposit. Tenant specifically grants to Landlord (and Tenant hereby waives the
provisions of California Civil Code Section 1950.7 to the contrary) a period of ninety (90)
days following a surrender of the Leased Premises by Tenant to Landlord within which to
inspect the Leased Premises, make required restorations and repairs, receive and verify
workmen’s billings therefor, and prepare a final accounting with respect to the Security Deposit.
In no event shall the Security Deposit or any portion thereof, be considered prepaid rent.

however, that Tenant shall not be responsible for contamination of the Leased Premises by
Hazardous Materials that existed as of the commencement date of the Existing Lease or that
migrated or migrate onto the Leased Premises from neighboring properties/areas (collectively,
“Pre-existing Hazardous Materials”), unless caused by Tenant or a Tenant Related Party. Tenant
shall not store, use or dispose of any Hazardous Materials except for small quantities of typical
office supplies and those Hazardous Materials listed in a Hazardous Materials management plan
(“HMMP”) which Tenant shall deliver to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date of
this Lease and update at least annually with Landlord (“Permitted Materials”) which may be used,
stored and disposed of provided (i) such Permitted Materials are used, stored, transported, and

and (iii) Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of all material safety data sheets and other
documentation required under applicable Laws in connection with Tenant’s use of Permitted
Materials as and when such documentation is provided to any regulatory authority having
jurisdiction. In no event shall Tenant cause or permit to be discharged into the plumbing or
sewage system of the Leased Premises or onto the land underlying or adjacent to the Leased
Premises any Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and shall defend,
indemnify, and hold Landlord and its agents harmless from and against all claims, costs and
liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with
Tenant’s storage, use and/or disposal of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or near the Leased
Premises. If the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Leased Premises caused or permitted by
Tenant results in contamination or deterioration of water or soil, then Tenant shall promptly take
any and all action necessary to clean up such contamination, but the foregoing shall in no event
be deemed to constitute permission by Landlord to allow the presence of such Hazardous Materials.
At any time prior to the expiration of the Lease Term if Tenant has a reasonable basis to suspect
that there has been any release or the presence of Hazardous Materials in the ground or ground
water on the Leased Premises which did not exist upon commencement of the Lease Term, Tenant shall
have the right to conduct appropriate tests of water and soil and to deliver to Landlord the
results of such tests to demonstrate that no contamination in excess of permitted levels has
occurred as a result of Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises. Tenant shall further be solely
responsible for, and shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord and its agents harmless from and
against all claims, costs and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, arising
out of or in connection with any removal, cleanup and restoration work and materials required
hereunder to return the Leased Premises and any other property of whatever nature to their
condition existing prior to the appearance of the Hazardous Materials.



     (c) Upon termination or expiration of the Lease, Tenant at its sole expense shall cause all
Hazardous Materials placed in or about the Leased Premises by Tenant, its agents,
contractors, or invitees, and all installations (whether interior or exterior) made by or on
behalf of Tenant relating to the storage, use, disposal or transportation of Hazardous
Materials to be removed from the property and transported for use, storage or disposal in
accordance and compliance with all Laws and other requirements respecting Hazardous Materials
used or permitted to be used by Tenant. Tenant shall apply for and shall obtain from all
appropriate regulatory authorities (including any applicable fire department or regional
water quality control board) all permits, approvals and clearances necessary for the closure
of the Leased Premises and shall take all other actions as may be required to complete the closure
of the Leased Premises.



     (d) At any time prior to expiration of the Lease Term, subject to reasonable prior notice (not
less than forty-eight (48) hours) and Tenant’s reasonable security requirements and provided
such activities do not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business at the
Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right to enter in and upon the Leased Premises in
order to conduct appropriate tests of water and soil to determine whether levels of any
Hazardous Materials in excess of legally permissible levels has occurred as a result of Tenant’s
use thereof. Landlord shall furnish copies of all such test results and reports to Tenant
and, at Tenant’s option and cost, shall permit split sampling for testing and analysis by
Tenant. Such testing shall be at Tenant’s expense if Landlord has a reasonable basis for
suspecting and confirms the presence of Hazardous Materials in the soil or surface or



 - 10 -









 





ground water in, on, under, or about the Leased Premises, which has been caused by or resulted
from the activities of Tenant, its agents, contractors, or invitees.




     (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord represents that it is unaware
of any Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Property in violation of applicable Laws.
Notwithstanding this representation, Landlord shall (i) cause, at its sole cost and expense,
any or all Pre-existing Hazardous Materials discovered in, on or about the Property (and not
caused by Tenant or a Tenant Related Party) to be removed if and to the extent required by
applicable Laws and (ii) indemnify and hold Tenant harmless against and from all
liability and claims of any kind for loss or damage to Tenant, its employees or agents, and
for all expenses and fees of Tenant (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’
fees) incurred, directly or indirectly, as a result of (a) the existence of such Pre-existing
Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Property or (b) any acts or omissions of Landlord or
any Landlord Related Party with respect to their use, generation, disposal, storage or
transportation of Hazardous Materials on or about the Property.



     (f) Landlord may voluntarily cooperate in a reasonable manner with the efforts of all
governmental agencies in reducing actual or potential environmental damage. Except as
otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or to
any reduction in or abatement of rent by reason of such compliance or cooperation. Tenant
agrees at all times to cooperate fully with the requirements and recommendations
of governmental agencies regulating, or otherwise involved in, the protection of the
environment.



4.12 Rules And Regulations. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations respecting the use
of the Leased Premises that are attached hereto as Exhibit C. Landlord may, from time to time,
change such rules and regulations for the safety, care, or cleanliness of the Leased Premises,
provided that such changes will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the
Leased Premises or materially increase Tenant’s cost of occupancy. A violation by Tenant of any of
such rules and regulations shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease. If there is a
conflict between the rules and regulations and any of the provisions of this Lease, the provisions
of this Lease shall prevail.




ARTICLE 5




REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE, SERVICES AND UTILITIES




5.1 Repair And Maintenance. Except in the case of damage to or destruction of the Leased
Premises caused by an act of God or other peril, in which case the provisions of Article 10 shall
control, the parties shall have the following obligations and responsibilities with respect to the
repair and maintenance of the Leased Premises.




     (a) Tenant’s Obligations. Except as expressly provided in Paragraph 5.1(b), Tenant shall, at
all times during the Lease Term and at its sole cost and expense, regularly clean and continuously
keep and maintain in good order, condition and repair the Leased Premises and every part thereof
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) all interior walls, floors and
ceilings, (ii) all windows, doors and skylights, (iii) all electrical wiring, conduits, connectors
and fixtures, (iv) all plumbing, pipes, sinks, toilets, faucets and drains, (v) all lighting
fixtures, bulbs and lamps and all heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment, (vi) all

cost and expense, institute an industry standard preventative maintenance program using a
qualified and licensed heating, ventilating and air conditioning company which regularly inspects

systems serving the Leased Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no
obligation or liability for any roof maintenance or repair based on damage or wear and tear that
existed prior to January 1, 2004, except to the extent that any act or omission of Tenant or any
Tenant Related Party resulted or results in a violation of the roof warranty in effect as of the
Lease Commencement Date. Tenant shall, at all times during the Lease Term, keep in a clean and
safe condition the Outside Areas. As needed, Tenant shall sweep and clean the driveways and
parking areas. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, repair all damage to the Leased
Premises caused by the activities of Tenant, its employees, invitees or contractors promptly
following written notice from Landlord to so repair such damages. If Tenant shall fail to perform
the required maintenance or fail to make repairs required of it pursuant to this paragraph within
a reasonable period of time following notice from Landlord to do so, then Landlord may, at its
election and without waiving any other remedy it may otherwise have under this



 - 11 -









 





Lease or at Law, perform such maintenance or make such repairs and charge to Tenant, as
Additional Rent, the costs so incurred by Landlord for same. All glass within or a part of the
Leased Premises, both interior and exterior, is at the sole risk of Tenant and any broken glass
shall promptly be replaced by Tenant at Tenant’s expense with glass of the same kind, size and
quality. In the event Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph 5.1(a) require that Tenant make a
repair, replacement or expenditure whose benefit extends beyond the Lease Term and which is deemed
a capital improvement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, then Landlord
shall pay the cost thereof; however, such cost shall be amortized by Landlord, on a straight-line
basis, over the useful life of such item, utilizing an interest rate of zero percent (0%), and the
monthly amortized cost of such any item so amortized shall be included in the Property Maintenance
Costs and charged to Tenant as Additional Rent.




     (b) Landlord’s Obligation. Landlord shall, at all times during the Lease Term and at
Landlord’s sole cost and expense, maintain in good condition and repair the foundation, footings,
structural exterior walls (excluding painting, sealing and other exterior surface maintenance),
structural roof elements (excluding the roof membrane), poured concrete floors (excluding floor
surfaces) and exterior utility connections up to the Building and under the foundation. In
addition, Landlord shall, at all times during the Lease Term, maintain in good condition and
repair the roof membrane, provided that the costs incurred by Landlord in performing such
maintenance and repair of the roof membrane shall be included in the Property Maintenance Costs
and charged to Tenant as Additional Rent. Landlord represents and warrants that as of the
Effective Date of this Lease, the roof membrane is covered by effective warranties (copies of
which have been provided to Tenant) and agrees that Tenant shall have no obligation to make or pay
for any capital repairs or maintenance and repair to the non-structural elements of the roof, to
the extent such capital repairs or maintenance and repair is covered by such warranty.



5.2 Utilities. Tenant shall arrange at its sole cost and expense and in its own name, for the
supply of water, gas and electricity to the Leased Premises. In the event that such services
are not separately metered, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, cause such meters to be
installed. Tenant shall be responsible for determining if the local supplier of water, gas
and electricity can supply the needs of Tenant and whether or not the existing water, gas and
electrical distribution systems within the Leased Premises are adequate for Tenant’s needs.
Tenant shall be responsible for determining if the existing sanitary and storm sewer systems
now servicing the Leased Premises are adequate for Tenant’s needs. Tenant shall pay all
charges for water, gas, electricity and storm and sanitary sewer services supplied to the
Leased Premises, irrespective of whether or not the services are maintained in Landlord’s or
Tenant’s name.




5.3 Security. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not undertaken any duty whatsoever to provide
security for the Leased Premises and, accordingly, Landlord is not responsible for the
security of same or the protection of Tenant’s property or Tenant’s employees, invitees or
contractors. To the extent Tenant determines that such security or protection services are
advisable or necessary, Tenant shall arrange for and pay the costs of providing same.





5.4 Energy And Resource Consumption. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, cooperate in a
reasonable manner with the efforts of governmental agencies and/or utility suppliers in
reducing energy or other resource consumption within the Leased Premises. Tenant agrees at
all times to comply with the requirements of utility suppliers and governmental agencies
regulating the consumption of energy and/or other resources.




5.5 Limitation Of Landlord’s Liability. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for injury to
Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees or contractors, for damage to Tenant’s property or
loss of Tenant’s business or profits, nor shall Tenant be entitled to terminate this Lease or
to any reduction in or abatement of rent by reason of (i) Landlord’s failure to provide
security services or systems for the protection of the Leased Premises, or the protection
of Tenant’s property or Tenant’s employees, invitees, agents or contractors, or (ii)
Landlord’s failure to perform any maintenance or repairs to the Leased Premises until Tenant
has notified Landlord, and the applicable cure period has expired, as provided in Paragraph
12.3, or (iii) any failure, interruption, rationing or other curtailment in the supply of
water, electric current, gas or other utility service to the Leased Premises from whatever cause
(other than Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (iv) the unauthorized
intrusion or entry into the Leased Premises by third parties (other than Landlord or
Landlord’s employees, agents or contractors).

ARTICLE 6




ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS




6.1 By Tenant. Tenant shall not make any alterations to or modifications of the Leased Premises
or construct any improvements within the Leased Premises until Landlord shall have first approved,
in writing, the plans and specifications therefor, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant
acknowledges that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any modification,
alteration or improvement if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, such modification, alteration or
improvement would adversely affect the structure of the Building, any of the Building’s systems,
the appearance of the Building or the value or utility of the Leased Premises. All such
modifications, alterations or improvements, once so approved, shall be made, constructed or
installed by Tenant at Tenant’s expense (including all permit fees and governmental charges related
thereto), using a licensed contractor first approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in substantial compliance with the aforementioned
Landlord-approved plans and specifications therefor. All work undertaken by Tenant shall be done in
accordance with all Laws and in a good and workmanlike manner using materials of good quality.
Tenant shall not commence the making of any such modifications or alterations or the construction
of any such improvements until (i) all required governmental approvals and permits shall have been
obtained, (ii) all requirements regarding insurance imposed by this Lease have been satisfied,
(iii) Tenant shall have given Landlord at lease five (5) business days prior written notice of its
intention to commence such work so that Landlord may post and file notices of non-responsibility,
and (iv) if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall have obtained contingent liability and broad form
builder’s risk insurance in an amount satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion to
cover any perils relating to the proposed work not covered by insurance carried by Tenant pursuant
to Article 9. In no event shall Tenant make any modification, alterations or improvements
whatsoever to the Outside Areas or the exterior or structural components of the Building including,
without limitation, any cuts or penetrations in the floor, roof or exterior walls of the Leased
Premises unless otherwise provided herein without Landlord’s prior consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. As used in this Article, the term “modifications,
alterations and/or improvements” shall include, without limitation, the installation of additional
electrical outlets, overhead lighting fixtures, drains, sinks, partitions, doorways, or the like.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent (but subject to the
other terms and conditions of this Article 6), shall be permitted to make alterations to the Leased
Premises which do not affect the structure of the Building or the Leased Premises, do not affect
the plumbing, electrical, mechanical or other systems of the Building and do not affect the
appearance of the Leased Premises viewed from the exterior, provided that: (a) such alterations do
not exceed $25,000 individually or $100,000 in the aggregate in each calendar year, (b) Tenant
shall timely provide Landlord the notice required pursuant to Paragraph 4.9 above, (c) Tenant shall
provide Landlord, promptly following the completion of the alteration, with a set of the plans and
specifications therefor, either “as built” or marked to show construction changes made, and (d) if
requested by Landlord, Tenant shall, on or before the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, remove any such alteration that is not an improvement that would be typically found in an
office space environment and restore the Leased Premises to their condition prior to such
alteration, reasonable wear and tear excepted.




6.2 Ownership Of Improvements. All modifications, alterations and improvements made or added to
the Leased Premises by Tenant (collectively, “Alterations”) during the Lease Term, other than
Tenant’s FF&E, shall be deemed real property and a part of the Leased Premises, but shall remain
the property of Tenant during the Lease. Any such Alterations (except for Tenant’s FF&E), once
completed, shall not be altered or removed from the Leased Premises during the Lease Term without
Landlord’s written approval if required by Paragraph 6.1 above. At the expiration or sooner
termination of this Lease, all Alterations (other than Tenant’s FF&E) shall automatically become
the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to Landlord as part of the Leased Premises as
required pursuant to Paragraph 2.6, unless Landlord shall require Tenant to remove any Alterations
in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 2.6, in which case Tenant shall remove such
Alterations. Landlord shall have no obligation to reimburse Tenant for all or any portion of the
cost or value of any Alterations so surrendered to Landlord. All modifications, alterations or
improvements which are installed or constructed on or attached to the Leased Premises by Landlord
and/or at Landlord’s expense shall be deemed real property and a part of the Leased Premises and
shall be property of Landlord. All lighting, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation and air
conditioning fixtures, partitioning,




 - 13 -









 








window coverings, wall coverings and floor coverings installed by Tenant shall be deemed
improvements to the Leased Premises and not Tenant’s FF&E.




6.3 Alterations Required By Law. Tenant shall, at its sole cost, make all modifications,
alterations and improvements to the Leased Premises that are required by any Law because of
Tenant’s (i) use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, (ii) application for any permit or
governmental approval, or (iii) making of any Alterations to or within the Leased Premises.
If Landlord shall, at any time during the Lease Term, be required by any
governmental authority to make any modifications, alterations or improvements to the Leased
Premises, the cost incurred by Landlord in making such modifications, alterations or
improvements, including interest at a rate equal to the sum of that rate quoted by Wells
Fargo Bank, N.T. & S.A. from time to time as its prime rate, plus two percent (2%), shall be
amortized by Landlord over the useful life of such modifications, alterations or improvements
(based on generally accepted industry standards), on a straight line basis, and the monthly
amortized cost of such modifications, alterations and improvements as so amortized shall be
considered a Property Maintenance Cost.




6.4 Liens. Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises and every part thereof free from any lien, and
shall pay when due all bills arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or
obligations incurred by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors relating to the Leased
Premises. If any such claim of lien is recorded against Tenant’s interest in this Lease, the
Leased Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall bond against, discharge or otherwise cause
such lien to be entirely released within thirty (30) days after the same has been recorded.
Tenant’s failure to do so shall be conclusively deemed a material default under the terms of
this Lease.




ARTICLE 7




ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING BY TENANT




7.1 By Tenant. Except as expressly permitted in Paragraph 7.2 below, Tenant shall not sublet the
Leased Premises or any portion thereof or assign its interest in this Lease, whether voluntarily
or by operation of Law, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any attempted subletting or assignment without Landlord’s prior
written consent, at Landlord’s election, shall constitute a default by Tenant under the terms of
this Lease. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person or entity other than Tenant, or the
acceptance of rent by Landlord from Tenant with knowledge of a violation of the provisions of this
paragraph, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Article or this
Lease or to be a consent to any subletting by Tenant or any assignment of Tenant’s interest in
this Lease. Without limiting the circumstances in which it may be reasonable for Landlord to
withhold its consent to an assignment or subletting, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that it shall
be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent in the following instances:




     (a) the proposed assignee or sublessee is a governmental agency;



     (b) the proposed use is not a Permitted Use;



     (c) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the financial worth of a proposed assignee is less than
that of Tenant or does not meet the credit standards applied by Landlord;



     (d) the proposed assignee or sublessee has, in the five years prior to the assignment or
sublease, filed for bankruptcy protection, has been the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy
that was not discharged within ninety (90) days of its filing, or has been adjudged
insolvent;



     (e) Landlord has experienced a previous uncured material default by or is in litigation with
the proposed assignee or sublessee;



     (f) the use of the Leased Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee will violate any
applicable Law, ordinance or regulation;



 - 14 -









 





     (g) the proposed assignee or sublessee is, as of the date of this Lease, in negotiations
with Landlord or any of its affiliates for a lease in a property owned by Landlord or any of its
affiliates and located in the City of Milpitas, California;



     (h) the proposed assignment or sublease fails to include all of the terms and provisions
required to be included therein pursuant to this Article 7;



     (i) there is an Event of Default under this Lease, or there have been three or more Events
of Default during the 12 months preceding the date that Tenant shall request consent; or



     (j) in the case of a subletting of less than the entire Leased Premises, if the subletting
would result in the division of the Leased Premises into more than three subparcels or would
require improvements to be made outside of the Leased Premises.



7.2 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary regarding
Landlord consent requirements, but otherwise subject to the provisions of this Article 7:




     (a) Tenant may sublet or assign to any Successor Entity (as hereinafter defined) without
obtaining Landlord’s consent; provided that: (i) such Successor Entity’s tangible net worth
(determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) immediately after
such transaction is at least equal to Tenant’s tangible net worth immediately prior to such
transaction; (ii) in the event of a merger, if required by Landlord, the surviving Successor
Entity assumes all obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and (iii) in the event of a sale of
assets or stock of Tenant, if required by Landlord, the Successor Entity assumes in writing
all obligations of Tenant under this Lease. “Successor Entity” means an entity controlling,
controlled by or under common control with Tenant, as well as any entity into or with which
Tenant is merged or otherwise consolidated or which purchases all or substantially all of
Tenant’s assets or stock, and which entity succeeds to Tenant’s interest in this Lease by
assignment or sublease.



     (b) Tenant may sublet or assign to LSI Logic Storage Systems, Inc., or its successor, without
obtaining Landlord’s consent, provided that such sublessee or assignee assumes all
obligations of Tenant under this Lease (in the case of a sublease, to the extent applicable
to the subleased portion of the Leased Premises).



     (c) Landlord’s consent shall not be required for a short-term license, not exceeding one (1)
year, of any portion of the Leased Premises that are then not separately demised.



7.3 Landlord’s Election. If Tenant desires to assign its interest under the Lease or to sublet
all or part of the Leased Premises (a “Proposed Transfer”), Tenant must first notify
Landlord, in writing, of such Proposed Transfer, at least fifteen (15) business days in
advance of the date it intends to close the Proposed Transfer,
specifying (a) the size of the
space to be so transferred, (b) the duration of the term of such Proposed Transfer and (c) the
terms of the Proposed Transfer, including the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee, the
proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s intended use of the Leased Premises, current financial
statements (including a balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow, all
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) of such
proposed assignee or sublessee, the form of documents to be used in effectuating such
assignment or subletting and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request.
Landlord shall have a period of fifteen (15) business days following receipt of such notice
and the required information to consent or decline to consent to the Proposed Transfer. If
Landlord does not respond within such fifteen (15) business day period, Landlord shall be deemed
to have approved the Proposed Transfer. If Landlord declines to consent to the Proposed
Transfer, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing, specifying the reasons under this Lease
that such refusal is justified. During such fifteen (15) business day period, Tenant
covenants and agrees to supply to Landlord, promptly upon request, all necessary or relevant
information which Landlord may reasonably request respecting such proposed assignment or
subletting and/or the proposed assignee or sublessee.




7.4 Conditions To Landlord’s Consent. If Landlord elects to consent, or is deemed to have consented
pursuant to Paragraph 7.3 above, or shall have been ordered to so consent by a court of
competent jurisdiction, to such requested assignment or subletting, such consent shall be
expressly conditioned upon the occurrence of each of the conditions





 - 15 -









 








below set forth, and any purported assignment or subletting made or ordered prior to the full and
complete satisfaction of each of the following conditions shall be void and, at the election of
Landlord, which election may be exercised at any time following such a purported assignment or
subletting but prior to the satisfaction of each of the stated conditions, shall constitute a
material default by Tenant under this Lease until cured by satisfying in full each such condition
by the assignee or sublessee. The conditions are as follows:




     (a) The execution by Landlord, Tenant and the proposed assignee or sublessee of a
commercially reasonable consent form.



     (b) Each such sublessee or assignee having agreed, in writing reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord, to assume, to be bound by, and to perform the obligations of this Lease not
otherwise to be performed by Tenant which relate to space being subleased.



     (c) There being no then-existing Event of Default under this Lease, and there having been no
more than two Events of Default during the preceding 12 months.



     (d) Tenant having reimbursed to Landlord all reasonable costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees
incurred by Landlord in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such
requested subletting or assignment (not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) in each
case).



     (e) Tenant having delivered to Landlord a complete and fully-executed duplicate original of
such sublease agreement or assignment agreement (as applicable) and all related agreements.



     (f) With respect to an assignment, Tenant having paid, or having agreed in writing to pay as
to future payments, to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all Assignment Consideration to be
paid to Tenant or to any other on Tenant’s behalf or for Tenant’s benefit for such assignment
as follows:



          (i) If Tenant assigns its interest under this Lease and if all or a portion of the
consideration for such assignment is to be paid by the assignee at the time of the assignment, that Tenant shall
have paid to Landlord and Landlord shall have received an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of
the Assignment Consideration so paid or to be paid (whichever is the greater) at the time of the
assignment by the assignee; or




          (ii) If Tenant assigns its interest under this Lease and if Tenant is to receive all or a
portion of the consideration for such assignment in future installments, that Tenant and Tenant’s
assignee shall have entered into a written agreement with and for the benefit of Landlord
satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel whereby Tenant and Tenant’s assignee jointly agree to pay
to Landlord an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all such future Assignment Consideration
installments to be paid by such assignee as and when such Assignment Consideration is so paid.




     (g) With respect to a sublease of all or a portion of the Leased Premises, Tenant and Tenant’s
sublessee shall have entered into a written agreement with and for the benefit of Landlord
satisfactory to Landlord and its counsel whereby Tenant and Tenant’s sublessee jointly agree
to pay to Landlord the applicable percentage set forth below of all Excess Rentals to be paid
by such sublessee as and when such Excess Rentals are so paid:



	 	 	 	 	 
	Portion of Leased Premises Subleased	 	Percentage of Excess Rentals to Landlord
	Up to and including 25%

	 	 	0	%
	Between 25% and 50%

	 	 	25	%
	From 50% up to and including 100%

	 	 	50	%






Landlord and Tenant agree that the percentages set forth above apply to the aggregate of all
subleased portions of the Leased Premises during the Lease Term. For example, if Tenant initially
subleases 20% of the Leased Premises, Landlord shall not be entitled to any portion of any Excess
Rentals from such sublease; provided that, if Tenant subsequently subleases an additional 10% of
the Leased Premises, then Landlord shall be entitled to 25% of the






 - 16 -









 








aggregate Excess Rentals payable with respect to the entire 30% portion of the Leased Premises
that is then subleased.




7.5 Assignment Consideration And Excess Rentals Defined. For purposes of this Article, including
any amendment to this Article by way of addendum or other writing, the term “Assignment
Consideration” shall mean all consideration to be paid by the assignee to Tenant or to any
other party on Tenant’s behalf or for Tenant’s benefit as consideration for such assignment,
after deduction for the following costs actually paid or actually incurred by Tenant directly
in connection with such assignment: market-rate leasing commissions; rent concessions;
reasonable costs of tenant improvements, capital improvements, building upgrades and permit
fees; and reasonable attorneys’ fees not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000.00). The
term “Excess Rentals” shall mean all consideration to be paid by the sublessee to Tenant or
to any other party on Tenant’s behalf or for Tenant’s benefit for the sublease of the Leased
Premises in excess of the rent due to Landlord under the terms of this Lease for the same period,
after deduction for the following costs actually paid or actually incurred by Tenant directly
in connection with such sublease: market-rate leasing commissions; rent concessions;
reasonable costs of tenant improvements, capital improvements, building upgrades and permit
fees; and reasonable attorneys’ fees not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000.00). Tenant
agrees that the portion of any Assignment Consideration and/or Excess Rentals arising
from any assignment or subletting by Tenant which is to be paid to Landlord pursuant to this
Article now is and shall then be the property of Landlord and not the property of Tenant.




7.6 Payments. All payments required by this Article to be made to Landlord shall be made in cash in
full as and when they become due. At the time Tenant, Tenant’s assignee or sublessee makes
each such payment to Landlord, Tenant or Tenant’s assignee or sublessee, as the case may be,
shall deliver to Landlord an itemized statement in reasonable detail showing the method by
which the amount due Landlord was calculated and certified by the party making such payment
as true and correct.




7.7 Good Faith. The rights granted to Tenant by this Article are granted in consideration of
Tenant’s express covenant that all pertinent allocations which are made by Tenant between the
rental value of the Leased Premises and the value of any of Tenant’s personal property which
may be conveyed or leased generally concurrently with and which may reasonably be considered
a part of the same transaction as the permitted assignment or subletting shall be made
fairly, honestly and in good faith. If Tenant shall breach this covenant, Landlord may
immediately declare Tenant to be in default under the terms of this Lease and terminate this
Lease and/or exercise any other rights and remedies Landlord would have under the terms of
this Lease in the case of a material default by Tenant under this Lease.




7.8 Effect Of Landlord’s Consent. No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord,
shall relieve Tenant of its personal and primary obligation to pay rent and to perform all of
the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. Consent by Landlord to one or more
assignments of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the Leased
Premises shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. If
Landlord shall have been ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction to consent to a
requested assignment or subletting, or such an assignment or subletting shall have been
ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction over the objection of Landlord, such assignment
or subletting shall not be binding between the assignee (or sublessee) and Landlord until
such time as all conditions set forth in Paragraph 7.4 above have been fully satisfied (to
the extent not then satisfied) by the assignee or sublessee, including, without limitation, the
payment to Landlord of all agreed assignment considerations and/or excess rentals then due
Landlord.




7.9 Options Personal. If Landlord consents to an assignment or subletting hereunder and this Lease
contains any renewal options, expansion options, rights of first refusal, rights of first
negotiation or any other rights or options pertaining to additional space in property owned
by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord, such rights and/or options shall not run to any
assignee or subtenant other than a Successor Entity, it being agreed by the parties hereto that
any such rights and options are personal to the original Tenant and any Successor Entity
named herein and may not be otherwise transferred.




7.10 Tenant’s Remedies. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of law, including California Civil
Code section 1995.310, Tenant shall have no right, and Tenant hereby waives and relinquishes any
right, to cancel or terminate this Lease in the event Landlord is determined to have unreasonably
withheld or delayed its consent to a proposed Transfer.

failure to perform an obligation expressly undertaken pursuant to this Lease after a
reasonable period of time shall have lapsed following receipt of written notice from Tenant
to so perform such obligation.




8.2 Tenant’s Indemnification Of Landlord. Tenant shall defend with competent counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord any claims made or legal actions filed or threatened against
Landlord or any of the Landlord Related Parties with respect to the violation of any Law, or
the death, bodily injury, personal injury, property damage, or interference with contractual
or property rights suffered by any third party occurring within the Leased Premises
or resulting from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, or resulting from
Tenant’s activities in or about the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold
Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties harmless from any loss liability, penalties, or
expense whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and any loss attributable to vacant
space which otherwise would have been leased, but for such activities) resulting therefrom, except
to the extent proximately caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or
the Landlord Related Parties. This Paragraph 8.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.




8.3 Landlord’s Indemnification of Tenant. Landlord shall defend with competent counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Tenant, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant and the Tenant Related
Parties, from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, causes of action, suits,

connection with Landlord’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or the
violation of any Law by Landlord, except to the extent proximately caused by the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of Tenant or the Tenant Related Parties. This Paragraph 8.3 shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

resulting from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, or
resulting from Tenant’s activities in or about the





 - 18 -









 








Leased Premises, with coverage in an amount equal to Tenant’s Required Liability Coverage (as set
forth in Article 1), which insurance shall contain a “broad form liability” endorsement insuring
Tenant’s performance of Tenant’s obligations to indemnify Landlord as contained in this Lease.




          (ii) Fire and property damage insurance in so-called “fire and extended coverage” form
insuring Tenant against loss from physical damage to Tenant’s personal property, inventory, trade

          (vi) With respect to Alterations, contingent liability and builder’s risk insurance, in an
amount and with coverage reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.




     (b) Each policy of liability insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this
paragraph or actually carried by Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises: (i) shall,
except with respect to insurance required by subparagraph (a)(vi) above, name Landlord, and
such others as are reasonably designated by Landlord, as additional insureds; (ii) shall be
primary insurance providing that the insurer shall be liable for the full amount of the loss, up
to and including the total amount of liability set forth in the declaration of coverage,
without the right of contribution from or prior payment by any other insurance coverage of
Landlord; (iii) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; (iv) shall be carried
with companies reasonably acceptable to Landlord with Best’s ratings of at least A and XI;
(v) shall provide that such policy shall not be subject to cancellation, lapse or change except
after at least thirty days prior written notice to Landlord, and (vi) shall contain a
so-called “severability” or “cross liability” endorsement. Each policy of property insurance
maintained by Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises or any property therein (i) shall
provide that such policy shall not be subject to cancellation, lapse or change except after
at least thirty days prior written notice to Landlord and (ii) shall contain, to the extent
commercially reasonable to obtain, a waiver and/or a permission to waive by the insurer of
any right of subrogation against Landlord, its partners, principals, members, officers,
employees, agents and contractors, which might arise by reason of any payment under such
policy or by reason of any act or omission of Landlord, its partners, principals,
members, officers, employees, agents and contractors.



     (c) Prior to the time Tenant or any of its contractors enters the Leased Premises, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord, with respect to each policy of insurance required to be carried by
Tenant pursuant to this Article, a certificate of the insurer certifying in form reasonably

required by this Paragraph and containing the provisions specified herein. With respect to
each renewal or replacement of any such insurance, the requirements of this Paragraph must
be complied with not less than fifteen days prior to the expiration or cancellation of the
policies being renewed or replaced. Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, inspect
any and all insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Article. If
Landlord’s Lender, insurance broker, advisor or counsel reasonably determines at any time
that the amount of coverage set forth in Paragraph 9.1 (a) for any policy of insurance
Tenant is required to carry pursuant to this Article is not adequate, then Tenant shall
increase the amount of coverage for such insurance to such greater amount as Landlord’s
Lender, insurance broker, advisor or counsel reasonably deems adequate.



     (d) Tenant shall have the right to self-insure for the insurance required by this Paragraph
9.1 so long as the long-term, unsecured debt of Tenant is rated “A” or better by a major
credit rating agency. Tenant shall also have the right to provide the insurance required
hereunder with a so-called umbrella policy. Tenant shall have the right to self-insure for
the insurance required by Paragraph 9.1(a)(v) so long as Tenant has obtained qualified
self-insurer status for such insurance from the California Department of Industrial
Relations.



9.2 Landlord’s Insurance. With respect to insurance maintained by Landlord:




 - 19 -









 






     (a) Landlord shall maintain, as the minimum coverage required of it by this Lease, fire
and property damage insurance in so-called “fire and extended coverage” form insuring Landlord (and
such others as Landlord may designate) against loss from physical damage to the Leased Premises or
any part thereof with coverage of not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full actual
replacement cost thereof and against loss of rents for a period of not less than six months. Such
fire and property damage insurance, at Landlord’s election but without any requirements on
Landlord’s behalf to do so, (i) may be written in so-called “all risk” form; (ii) may provide
coverage for physical damage to the improvements so insured for up to the entire full actual
replacement cost thereof; (iii) may be endorsed to cover loss or damage caused by any additional
perils against which Landlord may elect to insure, including earthquake and/or flood; and/or (iv)
may provide coverage for loss of rents for a period of up to twelve months. Landlord shall not be
required to cause such insurance to cover any of Tenant’s personal property, inventory, and trade
fixtures, or any modifications, alterations or improvements made or constructed by Tenant to or
within the Leased Premises. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such
insurance at competitive rates.



     (b) Landlord shall maintain commercial general liability insurance insuring Landlord (and such
others as are designated by Landlord) against liability for personal injury, bodily injury, death,
and damage to property occurring in, on or about, or resulting from the use or occupancy of the
Leased Premises, or any portion thereof, with combined single limit coverage of at least Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000). Landlord may carry such greater coverage as Landlord or Landlord’s
Lender, insurance broker, advisor or counsel may from time to time determine is reasonably
necessary, under the circumstances, for the adequate protection of Landlord and the Leased
Premises.



     (c) Landlord may maintain any other insurance which in Landlord’s reasonable opinion is
prudent to carry under the given circumstances, provided such insurance is commonly carried by
owners of property similarly situated and operating under similar circumstances.



9.3 Mutual Waiver Of Subrogation. Landlord hereby releases Tenant, and Tenant hereby releases
Landlord and its respective partners, principals, members, officers, agents, employees and
servants, from any and all liability for loss, damage or injury to the property of the other in or
about the Leased Premises which is caused by or results from a peril or event or happening which
is covered by insurance actually carried and in force at the time of the loss by the party
sustaining such loss; provided, however, that such waiver shall be effective only to the extent
permitted by the insurance covering such loss and to the extent such insurance is not prejudiced
thereby.



ARTICLE 10




DAMAGE TO LEASED PREMISES




10.1 Landlord’s Duty To Restore. If the Leased Premises or any portion thereof are damaged by
any peril after the Effective Date of this Lease, Landlord shall restore the same, as and when
required by this paragraph, unless this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 10.3
or by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 10.4. If this Lease is not so terminated, then upon the
issuance of all necessary governmental permits, Landlord shall commence and diligently prosecute
to completion the restoration of the Leased Premises to the extent then allowed by Law, to
substantially the same condition in which it existed as of the Lease Commencement Date. Landlord’s
obligation to restore shall be limited to actual receipt of insurance proceeds and to the
improvements constructed by Landlord. Landlord shall have no obligation to restore any
improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises after the Effective Date of this Lease or any
of Tenant’s personal property, inventory or trade fixtures.




10.2 Insurance Proceeds. All insurance proceeds available from the fire and property damage
insurance carried by Landlord shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord. If this Lease
is terminated pursuant to either Paragraph 10.3 or 10.4, all insurance proceeds available from
insurance carried by Tenant which cover loss of property that is Landlord’s property or would
become Landlord’s property on termination of this Lease shall be paid to and become the property
of Landlord, and the remainder of such proceeds shall be paid to and become the property of
Tenant. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to either Paragraph 10.3 or 10.4, all insurance
proceeds available from insurance carried by Tenant which cover loss to property that is
Landlord’s property shall be paid to and become the property of Landlord, and all proceeds
available from such insurance which cover loss to property which would only become the property of
Landlord upon the termination of this Lease shall be paid to and remain

the property of Tenant. The determination of Landlord’s property and Tenant’s property
shall be made pursuant to Paragraph 6.2.




10.3 Landlord’s Right To Terminate. Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease in the
event any of the following occurs, which option may be exercised only by delivery to Tenant of a
written notice of election to terminate within thirty days after the date of such damage or
destruction:




     (a) The Leased Premises are damaged by any peril covered by valid and collectible insurance
actually carried by Landlord and in force at the time of such damage or destruction (an “insured
peril”) to such an extent that the estimated cost to restore the Leased Premises exceeds the
insurance proceeds available from insurance actually carried by Landlord, plus the deductible
amount specified in such insurance policy;



     (b) The Leased Premises are damaged by an uninsured peril, which peril Landlord was not
required to insure against pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 of this Lease.



     (c) The Leased Premises are damaged by any peril and, because of Laws then in force, the
Leased Premises (i) cannot be restored at reasonable cost or (ii) if restored, cannot be used for
the same use being made thereof before such damage.



10.4 Tenant’s Right To Terminate. If the Leased Premises or any portion thereof are damaged by any
peril and Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled to terminate this
Lease pursuant to this Article, then as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within
ninety (90) days after the date of such damage or destruction, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with
the written opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant as to when the restoration
work required of Landlord may be complete. Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease in
the event any of the following occurs, which option may be exercised only by delivery to Landlord
of a written notice of election to terminate within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives from
Landlord the estimate of the time needed to complete such restoration:




     (a) If the time estimated to substantially complete the restoration exceeds nine (9) months
from and after the date the architect’s or construction consultant’s written opinion is delivered;
or



     (b) If the damage occurred within eighteen (18) months of the last day of the Lease Term and
the time estimated to substantially complete the restoration exceeds one-half (1/2) of the number
of full months then remaining in the Lease Term from and after the date the architect’s or
construction consultant’s written opinion is delivered.



10.5 Tenant’s Waiver. Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of Paragraph 10.4 above,
captioned “Tenant’s Right To Terminate,” are intended to supersede and replace the provisions
contained in California Civil Code, Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and California Civil Code,
Section 1934, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of such Civil Code Sections and
the provisions of any successor Civil Code Sections or similar laws hereinafter enacted.




10.6 Abatement Of Rent. In the event of damage to the Leased Premises which does not result in the
termination of this Lease, the Base Monthly Rent (and any Additional Rent) shall be temporarily
abated during the period of restoration in proportion to the degree to which Tenant’s use of the
Leased Premises is impaired by such damage.




ARTICLE 11




CONDEMNATION




11.1 Tenant’s Right To Terminate. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 11.4 below regarding
temporary takings, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease if, as a result of any
taking, all or a material portion of the Leased Premises is taken and the part of the Leased
Premises that remains cannot, within a reasonable period of time, be made reasonably suitable for
the continued operation of Tenant’s business as conducted in the Leased





- 21 -









 








Premises immediately prior to the taking. Tenant must exercise such option within a reasonable
period of time, to be effective on the later to occur of (i) the date that possession of that
portion of the Leased Premises that is condemned is taken by the condemnor or (ii) the date Tenant
vacated the Leased Premises.




11.2 Landlord’s Right To Terminate. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 11.4 below regarding
temporary takings, Landlord shall have the option to terminate this Lease if, as a result of any
taking, (i) all or a material portion of the Leased Premises is taken and the part of the Leased
Premises that remains cannot, within a reasonable period of time, be made reasonably suitable for
the continued operation of Tenant’s business as conducted in the Leased Premises immediately prior
to the taking, or (iii) because of the Laws then in force, the Leased Premises may not be used for
the same use being made before such taking, whether or not restored as required by Paragraph 11.3
below. Any such option to terminate by Landlord must be exercised within a reasonable period of
time, to be effective as of the date possession is taken by the condemnor.




11.3 Restoration. If any part of the Leased Premises is taken and this Lease is not terminated,
then Landlord shall, to the extent not prohibited by Laws then in force, repair any damage
occasioned thereby to the remainder thereof to a condition reasonably suitable for Tenant’s
continued operations and otherwise, to the extent practicable, in the manner and to the extent
provided in Paragraph 10.1.




11.4 Temporary Taking. If a portion of the Leased Premises is temporarily taken for a period of nine
(9) months or less and such period does not extend beyond the Lease Expiration Date, this Lease
shall remain in effect. If any portion of the Leased Premises is temporarily taken for a period
which exceeds nine (9) months or which extends beyond the Lease Expiration Date, then the rights of
Landlord and Tenant shall be determined in accordance with Paragraphs 11.1 and 11.2 above.




11.5 Division Of Condemnation Award. Any award made for any taking of the Leased Premises, or any
portion thereof, shall belong to and be paid to Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord
all of its right, title and interest in any such award; provided, however, that Tenant shall be
entitled to receive any portion of the award that is made specifically (i) for the taking of
personal property, inventory or trade fixtures belonging to Tenant, (ii) for the interruption of
Tenant’s business or its moving costs, or (iii) for the value of any leasehold improvements
installed and paid for by Tenant. The rights of Landlord and Tenant regarding any condemnation
shall be determined as provided in this Article, and each party hereby waives the provisions of
Section 1265.130 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, and the provisions of any similar law
hereinafter enacted, allowing either party to petition the Supreme Court to terminate this Lease
and/or otherwise allocate condemnation awards between Landlord and Tenant in the event of a taking
of the Leased Premises.




11.6 Abatement Of Rent. In the event of a taking of the Leased Premises which does not result in a
termination of this Lease, then, as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority,
the Base Monthly Rent (and any Additional Rent) shall be abated in proportion to the degree to
which, and during the period of time for which, Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises is impaired.




11.7 Taking Defined. The term “taking” or “taken” as used in this Article 11 shall mean any
transfer or conveyance of all or any portion of the Leased Premises to a public or quasi-public
agency or other entity having the power of eminent domain pursuant to or as a result of the
exercise of such power by such an agency, including any inverse condemnation and/or any sale or
transfer by Landlord of all or any portion of the Leased Premises to such an agency under threat of
condemnation or the exercise of such power.




ARTICLE 12

Lease if any of the following events (each an “Event of Default”) occur:





- 22 -









 








     (a) Tenant shall have failed to pay Base Monthly Rent or any regularly scheduled Additional
Rent when due and such failure continues for more than five (5) days after Landlord gives written
notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that after the second such failure in a calendar year,
only the passage of time, but no further notice, shall be required to establish an Event of Default
in the same calendar year; or



     (b) Tenant shall have failed to pay any other Additional Rent or other amount of money or
charge payable by Tenant hereunder as and when such additional rent or amount or charge becomes due
and payable and such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after Landlord gives written
notice to Tenant of Tenant’s failure to make payment when it was due; provided, however, that after
the second such failure in a calendar year, only the passage of time, but no further notice, shall
be required to establish an Event of Default in the same calendar year; or



     (c) Tenant shall have failed to perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease (except
those requiring the payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent, which failures shall be
governed by subparagraphs (a) and (b) above) within thirty (30) days after written notice from
Landlord to Tenant specifying the nature of such failure and requesting Tenant to perform same;
provided, however, that Tenant shall use diligence to cure such failure as soon as reasonably
practicable; and provide, further, that if, by the nature of such term, covenant or condition, such
failure cannot reasonably be cured within such period of thirty (30) days, an Event of Default
shall not exist as long as Tenant commences with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such
failure within such period of thirty (30) days and, having so commenced, thereafter prosecutes with
diligence and dispatch and completes the curing of such failure within a reasonable time; or



     (d) Tenant shall have sublet the Leased Premises or assigned or encumbered its interest in
this Lease in violation of the provisions contained in Article 7, whether voluntarily or by
operation of Law; or



     (e) Tenant shall have abandoned the Leased Premises (Tenant’s vacating the Leased Premises
shall not be deemed an abandonment, so long as Tenant continues to pay Rent and to perform all of
Tenant’s other obligations as required under this Lease); or



     (f) Tenant shall have permitted or suffered the sequestration or attachment of, or execution
on, or the appointment of a custodian or receiver with respect to, all or any substantial part of
the property or assets of Tenant or any property or asset essential to the conduct of Tenant’s
business, and Tenant shall have failed to obtain a return or release of the same within thirty days
thereafter, or prior to sale pursuant to such sequestration, attachment or levy, whichever is
earlier; or



     (g) Tenant shall have made a general assignment of all or a substantial part of its assets for
the benefit of its creditors; or



     (h) Tenant shall have allowed (or sought) to have entered against it a decree or order which:
(i) grants or constitutes an order for relief, appointment of a trustee, or condemnation or a
reorganization plan under the bankruptcy laws of the United States; (ii) approves as properly
filed a petition seeking liquidation or reorganization under said bankruptcy laws or any other
debtor’s relief law or similar statute of the United States or any state thereof; or (iii)
otherwise directs the winding up or liquidation of Tenant; provided, however, if any decree or
order was entered without Tenant’s consent or over Tenant’s objection, Landlord may not terminate
this Lease pursuant to this Subparagraph if such decree or order is rescinded or reversed within
thirty days after its original entry; or



     (i) Tenant shall have availed itself of the protection of any debtor’s relief law, moratorium
law or other similar law which does not require the prior entry of a decree or order.



12.2 Landlord’s Remedies. In the event of an Event of Default by Tenant, and without limiting
Landlord’s right to indemnification as provided in Article 8.2, Landlord shall have the following
remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or otherwise provided in
this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively, or in the alternative:





- 23 -









 








     (a) Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, keep this Lease in effect and enforce, by an action
at law or in equity, all of its rights and remedies under this Lease including, without limitation,
(i) the right to recover the rent and other sums as they become due by appropriate legal action,
(ii) the right to make payments required by Tenant, or perform Tenant’s obligations and be
reimbursed by Tenant for the cost thereof with interest at the then maximum rate of interest not
prohibited by law from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant,
and (iii) the remedies of injunctive relief and specific performance to prevent Tenant from
violating the terms of this Lease and/or to compel Tenant to perform its obligations under this
Lease, as the case may be.



     (b) Landlord may, at Landlord’s election, if such election is made prior to a complete cure of
the applicable Event of Default by Tenant, terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice of
termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set forth for termination in
such notice. Any termination under this subparagraph shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation
to pay to Landlord all Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent then or thereafter due, or any other
sums due or thereafter accruing to Landlord, or from any claim against Tenant for damages
previously accrued or then or thereafter accruing. In no event shall any one or more of the
following actions by Landlord, in the absence of a written election by Landlord to terminate this
Lease constitute a termination of this Lease:



          (i) Appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect Landlord’s interest
hereunder;




          (ii) Consent to any subletting of the Leased Premises or assignment of this Lease by Tenant,
whether pursuant to the provisions hereof or otherwise; or




          (iii) Any action taken by Landlord or its partners, principals, members, officers, agents,
employees, or servants, which is intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this
Lease by Tenant, including, without limitation, any action taken to maintain and preserve the
Leased Premises on any action taken to relet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof for the
account at Tenant and in the name of Tenant.




     (c) In the event Tenant breaches this Lease and abandons the Leased Premises, Landlord may
terminate this Lease, but this Lease shall not terminate unless Landlord gives Tenant written
notice of termination. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease by giving written notice of
termination, Landlord may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right
and remedies provided by California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (“lessor may continue lease in effect
after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has right to
sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations”), as in effect on the Effective Date of
this Lease.



     (d) In the event Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled, at Landlord’s
election, to the rights and remedies provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.2, as in effect
on the Effective Date of this Lease. For purposes of computing damages pursuant to Section 1951.2,
an interest rate equal to the maximum rate of interest then not prohibited by law shall be used
where permitted. Such damages shall include, without limitation:



          (i) 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 rental loss that Tenant proves could
be reasonably avoided, computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco, at the time of award plus one percent; and




          (ii) Any other amount reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment
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, including without
limitation, the following: (i) expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Leased Premises,
(ii) expenses for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Leased Premises for the purpose
of reletting, including removal of existing leasehold improvements and/or installation of
additional leasehold improvements (regardless of how the same is funded, including reduction of
rent, a direct payment or allowance to a new tenant, or otherwise), (iii) broker’s fees allocable
to the remainder of the term of this Lease, advertising costs and other expenses of reletting the
Leased Premises; (iv) costs of carrying and maintaining the Leased Premises, such as taxes,
insurance premiums, utility charges and security precautions, (v) expenses incurred in removing,
disposing of and/or storing any of Tenant’s personal property, inventory or trade fixtures
remaining therein; (vi) reasonable attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other
reasonable





- 24 -









 








expenses incurred by Landlord (but not limited to taxable costs) in retaking possession of the
Leased Premises, establishing damages hereunder, and releasing the Leased Premises; and (vii) any
other reasonable expenses, costs or damages otherwise incurred or suffered as a result of Tenant’s
default.




12.3 Landlord’s Default And Tenant’s Remedies. In the event Landlord fails to perform its
obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall nevertheless not be in default under the terms of
this Lease until such time as Tenant shall have first given Landlord written notice specifying the
nature of such failure to perform its obligations, and then only after Landlord shall have had
thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice within which to perform such obligations;
provided that, Landlord shall use diligence to cure such failure as soon as reasonably
practicable; and provided, further, that if longer than thirty (30) days is reasonably required in
order to perform such obligations, Landlord shall have such longer period. In the event of
Landlord’s default as above set forth, then, and only then, Tenant may then proceed in equity or
at law to compel Landlord to perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused
by such failure to perform (except as and to the extent Tenant has waived its right to damages as
provided in this Lease). In addition, in the event that any entity not controlling, controlled by
or under common control with iStar Financial Inc. succeeds to Landlord’s rights and obligations
under this Lease, and such successor Landlord defaults beyond the notice and cure period as above
set forth, then, and only then, Tenant may perform such obligations at such successor Landlord’s
cost, in which event such successor Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for the amount of
such costs reasonably and actually incurred by Tenant (unless Tenant would have been responsible
to pay such costs as Additional Rent had Landlord performed such obligations).




12.4 Limitation Of Tenant’s Recourse. Tenant’s recourse shall be limited to Landlord’s interest in
the Leased Premises, which interest shall include undistributed net proceeds from a sale, other
transfer or refinancing of the Leased Premises. In addition, if Landlord is a corporation, trust,
partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, unincorporated association, or other form
of business entity, Tenant agrees that (i) the obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall not
constitute personal obligations of the officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers,
members, owners, stockholders, or other principals of such business entity, and (ii) Tenant shall
have no recourse to the assets of such officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers,
members, owners, stockholders or principals, except as otherwise provided by Law. Additionally, if
Landlord is a partnership or limited liability company, then Tenant covenants and agrees:




     (a) No partner or member of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in any suit or action
brought by Tenant with respect to any alleged breach of this Lease (except to the extent necessary
to secure jurisdiction over the partnership and then only for that sole purpose);



     (b) No service of process shall be made against any partner or member of Landlord except for
the sole purpose of securing jurisdiction over the partnership; and



     (c) No writ of execution will ever be levied against the assets of any partner or member of
Landlord other than to the extent of his or her interest in the assets of the partnership or
limited liability company constituting Landlord.



Tenant further agrees that each of the foregoing covenants and agreements shall be enforceable by
Landlord and by any partner or member of Landlord and shall be applicable to any actual or alleged
misrepresentation or nondisclosure made regarding this Lease or the Leased Premises or any actual
or alleged failure, default or breach of any covenant or agreement either expressly or implicitly
contained in this Lease or imposed by statute or at common law.




12.5 Tenant’s Waiver. Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of Paragraph 12.3 above are
intended to supersede and replace the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1932(1), 1941
and 1942, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections
1932(1), 1941 and 1942 and/or any similar or successor law regarding Tenant’s right to terminate
this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the rent due under this
Lease.

ARTICLE 13




GENERAL PROVISIONS




13.1 Taxes On Tenant’s Property. Tenant shall pay before delinquency any and all taxes,
assessments, license fees, use fees, permit fees and public charges of whatever nature or
description levied, assessed or imposed against Tenant or Landlord by a governmental agency arising
out of, caused by reason of or based upon Tenant’s estate in this Lease, Tenant’s ownership of
property, improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises, improvements made by Landlord for
Tenant’s use within the Leased Premises, Tenant’s use (or estimated use) of public facilities or
services or Tenant’s consumption (or estimated consumption) of public utilities, energy, water or
other resources (collectively, “Tenant’s Interest”). Upon demand by Landlord if Landlord suspects
that such payments have not been made by Tenant, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory
evidence of these payments. If any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges are levied
against Landlord, Landlord’s property, the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, or if the
assessed value of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof is increased by the inclusion therein
of a value placed upon Tenant’s Interest, regardless of the validity thereof, Landlord shall have
the right to require Tenant to pay such taxes, and if not paid and satisfactory evidence of payment
delivered to Landlord prior to delinquency, then Landlord shall have the right to pay such taxes on
Tenant’s behalf and to invoice Tenant for the same. If Tenant shall not have paid such taxes then
Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of the date it receives an invoice from Landlord setting
forth the amount of such taxes, assessments, fees, or public charge so levied, pay to Landlord, as
Additional Rent, the amount set forth in such invoice. Failure by Tenant to pay the amount so
invoiced within such time period shall be conclusively deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease.
Tenant shall have the right to bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover from
the taxing authority the amount of any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges so paid.




13.2 Holding Over. This Lease shall terminate without further notice on the Lease Expiration Date
(as set forth in Article 1). Any holding over by Tenant after expiration of the Lease Term shall
neither constitute a renewal nor extension of this Lease nor give Tenant any rights in or to the
Leased Premises except as expressly provided in this Paragraph. Any such holding over shall be
construed to be a tenancy from month to month, on the same terms and conditions herein specified
insofar as applicable, except that the Base Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to
one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Monthly Rent payable during the last full month
immediately preceding such holding over.




13.3 Subordination To Mortgages. This Lease is subject to and subordinate to all ground leases,
mortgages and deeds of trust which affect the Leased Premises or any portion thereof and which are
of public record as of the Effective Date of this Lease, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. However, if the lessor under any such ground
lease or any lender holding any such mortgage or deed of trust shall advise Landlord that it
desires or requires this Lease to be made prior and superior thereto, then, upon written request
of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all
customary or reasonable documents or instruments which Landlord and such lessor or lender deems
necessary or desirable to make this Lease prior thereto. Tenant hereby consents to Landlord’s
ground leasing the land underlying the Leased Premises and/or encumbering the Leased Premises or
any portion thereof as security for future loans on such terms as Landlord shall desire, all of
which future ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust shall be subject to and subordinate to
this Lease. However, if any lessor under any such future ground lease or any lender holding such
future mortgage or deed of trust shall desire or require that this Lease be made subject to and
subordinate to such future ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust, then Tenant agrees, within ten
days after Landlord’s written request therefor, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord
any and all commercially reasonable documents or instruments requested by Landlord or by such
lessor or lender as may be necessary or proper to assure the subordination of this Lease to such
future ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust, but only if such lessor or lender agrees to
recognize Tenant’s rights under this Lease and agrees not to disturb Tenant’s quiet possession of
the Leased Premises so long as there has been no Event of Default by Tenant. If Landlord assigns
the Lease as security for a loan, Tenant agrees to execute such commercially reasonable documents
as are reasonably requested by the lender and to provide reasonable provisions in the Lease
protecting such lender’s security interest which are customarily required by institutional lenders
making loans secured by a deed of trust. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide Tenant,
within ten (10) days after the Lease Commencement Date, with a Subordination, Nondisturbance and
Attornment Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto from any ground





- 26 -









 








lessor(s), mortgage holder(s) or lien holder(s) (or in such other form such other party may
reasonably require). In addition, during the Lease Term and any extensions thereof, Landlord shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with such a Subordination, Nondisturbance
and Attornment Agreement from any future ground lessor, mortgage holder or lien holder that may
require that this Lease be subordinated to its interest in the Leased Premises.




13.4 Tenant’s Attornment Upon Foreclosure. Tenant shall, upon request, attorn (i) to any purchaser
of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof at any foreclosure sale or private sale conducted
pursuant to any security instruments encumbering the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, (ii)
to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure of any security
interest encumbering the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, or (iii) to the lessor under an
underlying ground lease of the land underlying the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, should
such ground lease be terminated; provided that such purchaser, grantee or lessor recognizes
Tenant’s rights under this Lease, except that such purchaser, grantee or lessor shall not: (a) be
liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord under this Lease; (b) be subject to any
offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (prior to such purchaser,
grantee or lessor becoming landlord under this Lease); (c) be bound by any Rent or Additional Rent
which Tenant might have paid to any prior landlord greater than the current month or more than one
(1) month prior to the due date for the then current installment; or (d) be liable for any
deposits made or prepaid Rent paid by Tenant hereunder unless such deposits or payments have been
transferred to such purchaser, grantee or lessor.




13.5 Mortgagee Protection. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give
notice by registered mail to any Lender or lessor under any underlying ground lease who shall have
requested, in writing, to Tenant that it be provided with such notice, and Tenant shall offer such
Lender or lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession
of the Leased Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure or other appropriate legal
proceedings if reasonably necessary to effect a cure.




13.6 Estoppel Certificates.




     (a) Tenant will, following any request by Landlord, promptly execute and deliver to
Landlord an estoppel certificate in the form attached as Exhibit E (i) certifying that this Lease
is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if modified, stating the nature of such
modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii)
stating the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii)
acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of
Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iv) certifying such other
information about this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, its Lender or prospective
lenders, investors or purchasers of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof. Tenant’s failure to
execute and deliver such estoppel certificate within ten (10) business days after receipt of
Landlord’s request therefor shall constitute an acknowledgment by Tenant that the statements
included therein are true and correct without exception. Landlord and Tenant intend that any
statement delivered pursuant to this paragraph may be relied upon by any Lender or purchaser or
prospective Lender or purchaser of the Leased Premises, or any interest in any portion thereof.



     (b) Landlord will, following any request by Tenant, promptly execute and deliver to Tenant an
estoppel certificate in reasonable form (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect, or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this
Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and
other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that there are not, to Landlord’s
knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Tenant hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any
are claimed, and (iv) certifying such other information about this Lease as may be reasonably
requested by Tenant. Landlord’s failure to execute and deliver such estoppel certificate within ten
(10) business days after receipt of Tenant’s request therefor shall constitute an acknowledgment by
Landlord that the statements included therein are true and correct without exception.



13.7 Financial Statements and Information. If Tenant is not a reporting company under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and to any
lender or purchaser designated by Landlord the following information certified to be true,
complete and correct by an officer of Tenant: within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of

13.8 Transfer By Landlord. Landlord and its successors in interest shall have the right to transfer
their interest in the Leased Premises or any portion thereof at any time and to any person or
entity. In the event of any such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of
any subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall be
automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of all liability for the
performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder which may accrue after the date of such
transfer and (ii) shall be relieved of all liability for the performance of the obligations of the
Landlord hereunder which have accrued before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to
assume and perform all such prior obligations of the Landlord hereunder (provided such transfer is
not a fraudulent conveyance). Tenant shall attorn to any such transferee. After the date of any
such transfer, the term “Landlord” as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the
Leased Premises.




13.9 Force Majeure. The obligations of each of the parties under this Lease (other than the
obligations to pay money) shall be temporarily excused if such party is prevented or delayed in
performing such obligations by reason of any strikes, lockouts or labor disputes; government
restrictions, regulations, controls, action or inaction; civil commotion; or extraordinary
weather, fire or other acts of God.

13.11 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event any party shall bring any action, arbitration proceeding or
legal proceeding alleging a breach of any provision of this Lease, to recover Rent, to terminate
this Lease, or to enforce, protect, determine or establish any term or covenant of this Lease or
rights or duties hereunder of either party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from
the non-prevailing party as a part of such action or proceeding, or in a separate action for that
purpose brought within one year from the determination of such proceeding, reasonable attorneys’
fees, expert witness fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by the prevailing
party.




13.12 Definitions. Any term that is given a special meaning by any provision in this Lease shall,
unless otherwise specifically stated, have such meaning wherever used in this Lease or in any
Addenda or amendment hereto. In addition to the terms defined in Article 1, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:




     (a) Real Property Taxes. The term “Real Property Tax” or “Real Property Taxes” shall each
mean Tenant’s Proportionate Share of (i) all taxes, assessments, levies and other charges of any
kind or nature whatsoever, general and special, foreseen and unforeseen (including all instruments
of principal and interest required to pay any general or special assessments for public
improvements and any increases resulting from reassessments caused by any change in ownership or
new construction), now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority or
special district having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy assessments, which are levied
or assessed for whatever reason against the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, or Landlord’s
interest herein, or the fixtures, equipment and other property of Landlord that is an integral
part of the Leased Premises and located thereon, (ii) all charges, levies or fees imposed by any
governmental authority against Landlord by reason of or based upon the use of or number of parking
spaces within the Leased Premises, the amount of public services or public utilities used or
consumed (e.g. water, gas, electricity, sewage or waste water disposal) at the Leased Premises,
the number of people employed by tenants of the Leased Premises, the size (whether measured in
area, volume, number of tenants or whatever) or the value of the Leased Premises, or the type of
use or uses conducted within the Leased Premises, and all costs and fees (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by Landlord in contesting any Real Property Tax and in
negotiating with public authorities as to any Real Property Tax, and (iii) all tax increases due
to improvements made to the Leased Premises by Tenant or by Landlord on behalf of Tenant. If, at
any time during the Lease Term, the taxation or assessment of the Leased Premises prevailing as of
the Effective Date of this Lease shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any the
Real Property Tax described above there shall be levied, awarded or imposed (whether by reason of
a change in the method of taxation or assessment, creation of a new tax or charge, or any other
cause) an alternate, substitute, or additional use or charge (i) on the value, size, use or
occupancy of the Leased Premises or Landlord’s interest therein or (ii) on or measured by the
gross receipts, income or rentals from the Leased Premises, or on Landlord’s business of owning,
leasing or managing the Leased Premises or (iii) computed in any manner with respect to the
operation of the Leased Premises, then any such tax or charge, however designated, shall be
included within the meaning of the terms “Real Property Tax” or “Real Property Taxes” for purposes
of this Lease. If any Real Property Tax is partly based upon property or rents unrelated to the
Leased Premises, then only that part of such Real Property Tax that is fairly allocable to the
Leased Premises shall be included within the meaning of the terms “Real Property Tax” or “Real
Property Taxes.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms “Real Property Tax” or “Real Property
Taxes” shall not include any (a) estate, inheritance, transfer, gift, capital levy, capital stock,
franchise or income tax, (b) items included as a Property Maintenance Cost, (c) reserves for
future Real Property Taxes, (d) environmental assessments, charges or liens arising in connection
with the remediation of Pre-existing Hazardous Materials (unless caused by Tenant or a Tenant or
any Tenant Related Party) or of other Hazardous Materials caused by Landlord or any Landlord
Related Party, or (e) any personal property taxes attributable to items not owned by Tenant or
utilized by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s operations at the Leased Premises.



     (b) Landlord’s Insurance Costs. The term “Landlord’s Insurance Costs” shall mean Tenant’s
Proportionate Share of the actual costs to Landlord to carry and maintain the policies of fire and
property damage insurance for the Leased Premises or any portion thereof and general liability and
any other insurance required or permitted to be carried by Landlord pursuant to Article 9,
together with the amortized portion of any deductible




- 29 -









 








amounts paid by Landlord upon the occurrence of any insured casualty or loss for which such
amortization falls within the Lease Term (provided such amounts are amortized only if they are
deemed a capital expense in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, in which
event they shall be amortized over the useful life of the applicable item, based on generally
accepted industry standards).




     (c) Property Maintenance Costs. The term “Property Maintenance Costs” shall mean Tenant’s
Proportionate Share of all costs and expenses (except Landlord’s Insurance Costs and Real Property
Taxes) paid or incurred by Landlord in protecting, operating, maintaining, repairing and preserving
the Leased Premises and all parts thereof, including without limitation, (i) a market rate
professional management fee not to exceed four percent (4%) of Base Monthly Rent if Tenant is not
self-managing the Leased Premises, (ii) the amortizing portion of any costs incurred by Landlord in
the making of any modifications, alterations or improvements required by any governmental authority
as set forth in Article 6, which are so amortized during the Lease Term, (iii) the amortizing
portion of any costs incurred by Landlord pursuant to the last sentence of Paragraph 5.1(a), and
(iv)such other reasonable costs as may be paid or incurred with respect to operating, maintaining,
and preserving the Leased Premises, except those items specifically set forth in Paragraph 5.1(b)
to be performed at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. To the extent that any Property Maintenance
Costs are incurred for items deemed to be capital improvements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, then such costs shall be amortized by Landlord over the useful life
of such items, and the monthly amortized cost of items as so amortized shall be considered a
Property Maintenance Cost.



     (d) Intentionally Deleted.



     (e) Property Operating Expenses. The term “Property Operating Expenses” shall mean and include
all Real Property Taxes, plus all Landlord’s Insurance Costs, plus all Property Maintenance Costs.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Property Operating Expenses shall not include: (a) the cost of
capital improvements (except as set forth in this Lease); (b) depreciation; (c) all fees, costs,
principal payments of mortgage and interest related to any mortgage(s) or deed(s) of trust, all
payments made under any ground or underlying lease and all other non-operating debts of Landlord;
(d) the cost of repairs or other work to the extent Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or
condemnation proceeds; (e) costs in connection with leasing space in the Building, (including,
without limitation, brokerage commissions, marketing costs, attorneys’ fees, lease concessions,
rental abatements and construction allowances granted to specific tenants); (f) costs incurred in
connection with the sale, financing or refinancing of the Leased Premises (other than any increase
in Real Property Taxes that may result therefrom); (g) fines, interest and penalties incurred due
to the late payment by Landlord of Property Operating Expenses (unless caused by the act or
omission of Tenant); (h) organizational expenses associated with the creation, maintenance and
operation of the entity which constitutes Landlord; (i) any penalties or damages that Landlord pays
to Tenant under this Lease; (j) costs associated with damage or repairs to any part of the Project
or necessitated by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related
Party; (k) reserves for Landlord’s repair, replacement or improvement of the Leased Premises or any
portion thereof; (1) executive salaries and benefits; (m) legal fees, accountant fees and other
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of Landlord’s title to or interest in the Leased
Premises or any part thereof; or (n) any costs, fines, or penalties incurred due to violations by
Landlord or any Landlord Related Party of any governmental rule or authority, this Lease, or due to
Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.



     (f) Law. The term “Law” or “Laws” shall mean any judicial decisions and any statute,
constitution, ordinance, resolution, regulation, rule, administrative order, or other requirements
of any municipal, county, state, federal, or other governmental agency or authority having
jurisdiction over the parties to this Lease, the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, or either
of them, in effect either at the Effective Date of this Lease or at any time during the Lease Term,
including, without limitation, any regulation, order, or policy of any quasi-official entity or
body (e.g. a board of fire examiners or a public utility or special district).



     (g) Lender. The term “Lender” shall mean the holder of any promissory note or other evidence
of indebtedness secured by the Leased Premises or any portion thereof.



     (h) Private Restrictions. The term “Private Restrictions” shall mean (as they may exist from
time to time) any and all covenants, conditions and restrictions, private agreements, easements,
and any other recorded documents or instruments affecting the use of the Leased Premises or any
portion thereof.




- 30 -









 








     (i) Rent. The term “Rent” shall mean collectively Base Monthly Rent and all Additional
Rent.



13.13 General Waivers. One party’s consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring
the first party’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the first
party’s consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act by the other party. No waiver of any
provision hereof, or any waiver of any breach of any provision hereof, shall be effective unless in
writing and signed by the waiving party. The receipt by Landlord of any Rent or payment with or
without knowledge of the breach of any other provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any
such breach. No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless
such waiver specifically states so in writing and is signed by both Landlord and Tenant. No delay
or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy accruing to either party upon any breach by the
other party under this Lease shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver of any
such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver by either party of any breach of any
provision of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or
any other provisions herein contained.




13.14 Miscellaneous. Should any provisions of this Lease prove to be invalid or illegal, such
invalidity or illegality shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other provisions hereof,
and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Time is of the essence with
respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a
factor. Any copy of this Lease which is executed by the parties shall be deemed an original for all
purposes. This Lease shall, subject to the provisions regarding assignment, apply to and bind the
respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of Landlord and Tenant. The
term “party” shall mean Landlord or Tenant as the context implies. If Tenant consists of more than
one person or entity, then all members of Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.
This Lease shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State in which the
Leased Premises are located. The captions in this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be
construed in the construction or interpretation of any provision hereof. When the context of this
Lease requires, the neuter gender includes the masculine, the feminine, a partnership, corporation,
limited liability company, joint venture, or other form of business entity, and the singular
includes the plural. The terms “must,” “shall,” “will,” and “agree” are mandatory. The term “may”
is permissive. When a party is required to do something by this Lease, it shall do so at its sole
cost and expense without right of reimbursement from the other party unless specific provision is
made therefor. Where Landlord’s consent is required hereunder, the consent of any Lender shall also
be required to the extent such Lender consent is required under the applicable loan documents.
Landlord and Tenant shall both be deemed to have drafted this Lease, and the rule of construction
that a document is to be construed against the drafting party shall not be employed in the
construction or interpretation of this Lease. Where Tenant is obligated not to perform any act or
is not permitted to perform any act, Tenant is also obligated to restrain any others reasonably
within its control, including agents, invitees, contractors, subcontractors and employees, from
performing such act. Landlord shall not become or be deemed a partner or a joint venturer with
Tenant by reason of any of the provisions of this Lease.




ARTICLE 14



CORPORATE AUTHORITY




BROKERS AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT




14.1 Corporate Authority. If Tenant is a corporation, each individual executing this Lease on
behalf of such corporation represents and warrants that Tenant is validly formed and duly
authorized and existing, that Tenant is qualified to do business in the State in which the Leased
Premises are located, that Tenant has the full right and legal authority to enter into this Lease,
and that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of Tenant in
accordance with its terms. Landlord represents and warrants that Landlord has the full right and
legal authority to enter into this Lease, and that the person(s) executing this Lease is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of Landlord in accordance with its terms.




14.2 Brokerage Commissions. Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date of this Lease,
Landlord shall pay to the Brokers (as named in Article 1) a one-time fee of $299,059.20. Tenant
represents, warrants and agrees that it has not had any dealings with any real estate broker(s),
leasing agent(s), finder(s) or salesmen, other than the Brokers with respect to the lease by it of
the Leased Premises pursuant to this Lease, and that, except for the one-





- 31 -









 








time fee described in the immediately foregoing sentence, it will assume all obligations and
responsibility with respect to the payment of such Brokers, and that it will indemnify, defend
with competent counsel, and hold Landlord harmless from any liability for the payment of any real
estate brokerage commissions, leasing commissions or finder’s fees claimed by any other real
estate broker(s), leasing agent(s), finder(s), or salesmen to be earned or due and payable by
reason of Tenant’s agreement or promise (implied or otherwise) to pay (or to have Landlord pay)
such a commission or finder’s fee by reason of its leasing the Leased Premises pursuant to this
Lease.




14.3 Entire Agreement. This Lease and the Exhibits (as described in Article 1), which Exhibits
are by this reference incorporated herein, constitute the entire agreement between the parties, and
there are no other agreements, understandings or representations between the parties relating to
the lease by Landlord of the Leased Premises to Tenant, except as expressed herein. No subsequent
changes, modifications or additions to this Lease shall be binding upon the parties unless in
writing and signed by both Landlord and Tenant.




14.4 Landlord’s Representations. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any of its agents
made any representations or warranties respecting the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, upon
which Tenant relied in entering into the Lease, which are not expressly set forth in this Lease.
Tenant further acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any of its agents made any representations as
to (i) whether the Leased Premises may be used for Tenant’s intended use under existing Law, or
(ii) the suitability of the Leased Premises for the conduct of Tenant’s business, or (iii) the
exact square footage of the Leased Premises, and that Tenant relies solely upon its own
investigations with respect to such matters. Tenant expressly waives any and all claims for damage
by reason of any statement, representation, warranty, promise or other agreement of Landlord or
Landlord’s agent(s), if any, not contained in this Lease or in any Exhibit attached hereto.




ARTICLE 15




OPTIONS TO EXTEND




15.1 So long as LSI Logic Corporation or any Successor Entity (but not any other transferee) is
the Tenant hereunder and occupies at least fifty percent (50%) of the Leased Premises, and subject
to the condition set forth in clause (b) below, Tenant shall have two options to extend the term
of this Lease with respect to the entirety of the Leased Premises, the first for a period of
thirty (30) months from the expiration of the eighth (8th) year of the Lease Term (the
“First Extension Period”), and the second (the “Second Extension Period”) for a period of thirty
(30) months from the expiration of the First Extension Period, subject to the following
conditions:




     (a) Each option to extend shall be exercised, if at all, by notice of exercise given to
Landlord by Tenant not less than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the expiration of the
eighth (8th) year of the Lease Term or the expiration of the First Extension Period, as
applicable;



     (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if there is an Event of Default, either
at the time Tenant exercises either extension option or on the commencement date of the First
Extension Period or the Second Extension Period, as applicable, Landlord shall have, in addition to
all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, the right to terminate such
option(s) to extend upon notice to Tenant.



     15.2 In the event the applicable option is exercised within the time periods set forth herein, the
Lease shall be extended for the term of the applicable extension period upon all of the terms and
conditions of this Lease, provided that the Base Monthly Rent for each extension period shall be
ninety-five percent (95%) of the “Fair Market Rent” for the Leased Premises. For purposes hereof,
“Fair Market Rent” shall mean the base rent for the Leased Premises, based upon the rental rate
per square foot that an unaffiliated landlord and tenant would agree to for a lease on similar
terms of this Lease for the relevant Extension Period for comparable premises (in quality and
size) in the vicinity of the Leased Premises, with such comparable base rent including
consideration for the presence or absence of tenant improvements or allowances existing or to be
provided under the lease for such premises, rental abatements, lease takeovers/assumptions, moving
expenses and other forms of rental concessions, real estate brokerage commissions, proposed term
of lease, extent of service provided or to be provided under the lease for such premises, the date
of the particular rate under consideration became or is to become effective and any other relevant
terms or conditions, all determined pursuant to the process described below.




- 32 -









 








15.3 Within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s notice of exercise, Landlord shall notify Tenant
in writing of Landlord’s estimate of the Base Monthly Rent for the applicable extension period,
based on the provisions of Paragraph 15.2 above. Within 30 days after receipt of such notice from
Landlord, Tenant shall have the right, exercisable by delivering written notice to Landlord, either
to (i) accept Landlord’s statement of Base Monthly Rent as the Base Monthly Rent for the applicable
extension period; or (ii) reject Landlord’s statement of Base Monthly Rent as the Base Monthly Rent
for the applicable extension period, in which case Landlord and Tenant, acting reasonably and in
good faith, shall attempt to reach an agreement as to an acceptable Base Monthly Rent within ten
(10) business days after delivery of Tenant’s rejection notice (the “Negotiation Period”). If the
parties cannot agree upon an acceptable Base Monthly Rent by the end of the Negotiation Period,
then Landlord’s estimate of Fair Market Rent shall be submitted to arbitration, which shall be
conducted pursuant to the provisions hereof. Failure on the part of Tenant to accept or reject
Landlord’s statement of Fair Market Rent within such 30-day period shall constitute acceptance of
the Base Monthly Rent for the applicable extension period as calculated by Landlord. To the extent
that arbitration has not been completed prior to the expiration of any preceding period for which
Base Monthly Rent has been determined, Tenant shall pay Base Monthly Rent at the rate calculated by
Landlord, with the potential for an adjustment to be made once Fair Market Rent is ultimately
determined by arbitration.




15.4 In the event of arbitration, the judgment or the award rendered in any such arbitration may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction and shall be final and binding between the parties. The
arbitration shall be conducted and determined in the County of Santa Clara in accordance with the
then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association or its successor for arbitration of
commercial disputes except to the extent that the procedures mandated by such rules shall be
modified as follows:




     (a) Tenant shall make demand for arbitration in writing no later than the last day of the
Negotiation Period, specifying therein the name and address of the person to act as the arbitrator
on its behalf. The arbitrator shall be qualified as a real estate appraiser familiar with the Fair
Market Rent of similar industrial, research and development, or office space in the Silicon Valley
area who would qualify as an expert witness over objection to give opinion testimony addressed to
the issue in a court of competent jurisdiction. Failure on the part of Tenant to make a proper
demand in a timely manner for such arbitration shall constitute a waiver of the right thereto.
Within 15 days after the service of the demand for arbitration, Landlord shall give notice to
Tenant, specifying the name and address of the person designated by Landlord to act as arbitrator
on its behalf who shall be similarly qualified. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of the
appointment of its arbitrator, within or by the time above specified, then the arbitrator appointed
by Tenant shall be the sole arbitrator to determine the issue.



     (b) In the event that two arbitrators are chosen pursuant to Paragraph 15.4(a) above, the
arbitrators so chosen shall, within 15 days after the second arbitrator is appointed, select a
third arbitrator, who shall be similarly qualified. If the arbitrators do not select a third
arbitrator within said 15-day period, then either party, on behalf of both, may request appointment
of such a qualified person by the then Chief Judge of the United States District Court having
jurisdiction over the County of Santa Clara, acting in his private and not in his official
capacity, and the other party shall not raise any question as to such Judge’s full power and
jurisdiction to entertain the application for and make the appointment. The three arbitrators shall
decide the dispute by following the procedure set forth below.



     (c) The arbitrator selected by each of the parties shall state in writing his or her
determination of the Fair Market Rent supported by the reasons therefor with counterpart copies to
each party. The arbitrators shall arrange for a simultaneous exchange of such proposed resolutions.
The role of the third arbitrator shall be to select which of the two proposed resolutions most
closely approximates his or her determination of Fair Market Rent. The third arbitrator shall have
no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed resolutions.
The resolution he or she chooses as most closely approximating his determination shall constitute
the decision of the arbitrators and be final and binding upon the parties.



     (d) In the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any arbitrator to act, his or her
successor shall be appointed by him or her, but in the case of the third arbitrator, his or her
successor shall be appointed in the same manner as provided for appointment of the third
arbitrator. The arbitrators shall decide the issue within 15 days after the appointment of the
third arbitrator. Any decision in which the arbitrator appointed by Landlord and the arbitrator
appointed by Tenant concur shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. Each party shall pay
the fee and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall share the fee and expenses of the
third arbitrator, and the




- 33 -









 









attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel for the respective parties and of witnesses shall be paid
by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling such witnesses.




     (e) The arbitrators shall have the right to consult experts and competent authorities to
obtain factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Fair Market Rent, but any
such consultation shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right on their part to
cross-examine. The arbitrators shall render their decision and award in writing with counterpart
copies to each party. The arbitrators shall have no power to modify the provisions of this Lease.



ARTICLE 16




TELEPHONE SERVICE




     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary:



     (a) So long as the entirety of the Leased Premises is leased to Tenant:



          (i) Landlord shall have no responsibility for providing to Tenant any telephone equipment,
including wiring, within the Leased Premises or for providing telephone service or connections
from the utility to the Leased Premises; and




          (ii) Landlord makes no warranty as to the quality, continuity or availability of the
telecommunications services in the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, and Tenant hereby
waives any claim against Landlord for any actual or consequential damages (including damages for
loss of business) in the event Tenant’s telecommunications services in any way are interrupted,
damaged or rendered less effective, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Party. Tenant accepts the telephone equipment
(including, without limitation, the INC, as defined below) in its “AS-IS” condition, and Tenant
shall be solely responsible for contracting with a reliable third party vendor to assume
responsibility for the maintenance and repair thereof (which contract shall contain provisions
requiring such vendor to inspect the INC periodically (the frequency of such inspections to be
determined by such vendor based on its experience and professional judgment), and requiring such
vendor to meet local and federal requirements for telecommunications material and workmanship).
Unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related
Party, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord
whatsoever, whether for personal injury, property damage, loss of use of the Leased Premises, or
otherwise, due to the interruption or failure of telephone services to the Leased Premises. Tenant
hereby holds Landlord harmless and agrees to indemnify, protect and defend Landlord from and
against any liability for any damage, loss or expense due to any failure or interruption of
telephone service to the Leased Premises for any reason other than the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Party.




     (b) At such time as the entirety of the Leased Premises is no longer leased to Tenant,
Landlord shall in its sole discretion have the right, by written notice to Tenant, to elect to
assume limited responsibility for INC, as provided below, and upon such assumption of
responsibility by Landlord, this subparagraph (b) shall apply prospectively.



       
   (i) Landlord
shall provide Tenant access to all quantity of pairs in the Building
intra-building network cable (“INC”). Tenant’s access to the INC shall be solely by arrangements made by
Tenant, as Tenant may elect, directly with Pacific Bell or Landlord (or such vendor as Landlord
may designate), and Tenant shall pay all reasonable charges as may be imposed in connection
therewith. Pacific Bell’s charges shall be deemed to be reasonable. Subject to the foregoing,
Landlord shall have no responsibility for providing to Tenant any telephone equipment, including
wiring, within the Leased Premises or for providing telephone service or connections from the
utility to the Leased Premises, except as required by law.




       
   (ii) Except as permitted in this Lease, Tenant shall not alter, modify, add to or disturb any
telephone wiring in the Leased Premises without the Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any
damage to the telephone





- 34 -









 








wiring in the Leased Premises due to the act, negligent or otherwise, of Tenant or any employee,
contractor or other agent of Tenant. Tenant shall have access to the telephone closets within the
Building in the manner and under such reasonable procedures established by Landlord. Tenant shall
promptly notify Landlord of any actual or suspected failure of telephone service to the Leased
Premises.




         
 (iii) All costs incurred by Landlord for the installation, maintenance, repair and replacement
of telephone wiring in the Leased Premises shall be a Property Maintenance Cost, provided that, if
any such cost is deemed a capital expenditure in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, it shall be amortized over the useful life of the improvement as described elsewhere
in this Lease.




     
     (iv) Landlord makes no warranty as to the quality, continuity or availability of the
telecommunications services in the Leased Premises, and Tenant hereby waives any claim against
Landlord for any actual or consequential damages (including damages for loss of business) in the
event Tenant’s telecommunications services in any way are interrupted, damaged or rendered less
effective, except to the extent caused by the grossly negligent or willful act or omission by
Landlord or any Landlord Related Party. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord meets its duty of care
to Tenant with respect to the INC by contracting with a reliable third party vendor to assume
responsibility for the maintenance and repair thereof (which contract shall contain provisions
requiring such vendor to inspect the INC periodically (the frequency of such inspections to be
determined by such vendor based on its experience and professional judgment), and requiring such
vendor to meet local and federal requirements for telecommunications material and workmanship).
Subject to the foregoing, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord
or any Landlord Related Party, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant waives all claims
against Landlord whatsoever, whether for personal injury, property damage, loss of use of the
Leased Premises, or otherwise, due to the interruption or failure of telephone services to the
Leased Premises. Tenant hereby holds Landlord harmless and agrees to indemnify, protect and defend
Landlord from and against any liability for any damage, loss or expense due to any failure or
interruption of telephone service to the Leased Premises for any reason other than the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Party.

	 	Deed of Trust: A Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Fixture Filing dated as
of executed by Landlord, to                      as Trustee, for the benefit of Beneficiary securing
repayment of the Note to be recorded in the
records of the County in which the Property is located.

	 	Lease and Lease Date: The lease entered into by Landlord and Tenant dated
as of covering the Premises. [Add amendments]

	 	Property:

	 	 	[Property Name]
[Street Address]
[City, State, Zip]

The Property is more particularly described on Exhibit A.	 
	 





     THIS SUBORDINATION, NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made
by and among Tenant, Landlord, and Beneficiary and affects the Property described in Exhibit A.
Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Defined Terms. This Agreement is entered
into as of the Execution Date with reference to the following facts:



          A. Landlord and Tenant have entered into the Lease covering [certain space in the improvements
located in and upon] the Property (the “Premises”).




          B. Beneficiary has made or is making the Loan to Landlord evidenced by the Note. The Note is
secured, among other documents, by the Deed of Trust.




          C. Landlord, Tenant and Beneficiary all wish to subordinate the Lease to the lien of the Deed
of Trust.




          D. Tenant has requested that Beneficiary agree not to disturb Tenant’s rights in the Premises
pursuant to the Lease in the event Beneficiary forecloses the Deed of Trust, or acquires the
Property pursuant to the trustee’s power of sale contained in the Deed of Trust or receives a
transfer of the Property by a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure of the Property (collectively, a
“Foreclosure Sale”) but only if Tenant is not then in default under the Lease and Tenant attorns to
Beneficiary or a third party purchaser at the Foreclosure Sale (a “Foreclosure Purchaser”).




- 1 -









 





     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein,
the parties agree as follows:



          1. Subordination. The Lease and the leasehold estate created by the Lease and all of
Tenant’s rights under the Lease are and shall remain subordinate to the Deed of Trust and the lien
of the Deed of Trust, to all rights of Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust and to all renewals,
amendments, modifications and extensions of the Deed of Trust.




          2. Acknowledgments by Tenant. Tenant agrees that: (a) Tenant has notice that the
Lease and the rent and all other sums due under the Lease have been or are to be assigned to
Beneficiary as security for the Loan. In the event that Beneficiary notifies Tenant of a default
under the Deed of Trust and requests Tenant to pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease
to Beneficiary, Tenant shall pay such sums directly to Beneficiary or as Beneficiary may otherwise
request, (b) Tenant shall, provided Landlord has given Tenant written notice of Beneficiary’s
notice address, send a copy of any notice or statement under the Lease to Beneficiary at the same
time Tenant sends such notice or statement to Landlord, and (c) this Agreement satisfies any
condition or requirement in the Lease relating to the granting of a nondisturbance agreement.




          3. Foreclosure and Sale. In the event of a Foreclosure Sale,





          (a) So long as Tenant complies with this Agreement and there is no Event of Default (as
defined in the Lease), the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease
between Beneficiary and Tenant, and Beneficiary will not disturb the possession of Tenant,
subject to this Agreement. To the extent that the Lease is extinguished as a result of a
Foreclosure Sale, a new lease shall automatically go into effect upon the same provisions as
contained in the Lease between Landlord and Tenant, except as set forth in this Agreement,
for the unexpired term of the Lease (including any extensions). Tenant agrees to attorn to
and accept Beneficiary as landlord under the Lease and to be bound by and perform all of the
obligations imposed by the Lease, or, as the case may be, under the new lease, in the event
that the Lease is extinguished by a Foreclosure Sale. Upon Beneficiary’s acquisition of
title to the Property, Beneficiary will perform all of the obligations imposed on the
Landlord by the Lease except as set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that
Beneficiary shall not be: (i) liable for any act or omission of a prior landlord (including
Landlord); or (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses that Tenant might have against any
prior landlord (including Landlord) unless such pre-paid rent or security deposit were
transferred to Beneficiary; or (iii) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might
have paid in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord) for a period in excess of
one month or by any security deposit, cleaning deposit or other sum that Tenant may have
paid in advance to any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (iv) bound by any amendment,
modification, assignment or termination of the Lease made without the written consent of
Beneficiary; or (v) liable to Tenant or any other party for any conflict between the
provisions of the Lease and the provisions of any other lease affecting the Property which
is not entered into by Beneficiary.




          (b) Upon the written request of Beneficiary after a Foreclosure Sale, the parties shall
execute a lease of the Premises upon the same provisions as contained in the Lease between
Landlord and Tenant, except as set forth in this Agreement, for the unexpired term of the
Lease (including any extensions).



          4. Subordination and Release of Purchase Options. Tenant represents that it has no
right or option of any nature to purchase the Property or any portion of the Property or any
interest in the Borrower. To the extent Tenant has or acquires any such right or option, these
rights or options are acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and are waived and
released as to Beneficiary and any Foreclosure Purchaser.




          5. Acknowledgment by Landlord. In the event of a default under the Deed of Trust, at
the election of Beneficiary, Tenant shall and is directed to pay all rent and all other sums due
under the Lease to Beneficiary.





- 2 -









 






          6. Construction of Improvements. Beneficiary shall not have any obligation or
incur any liability with respect to the completion of the tenant improvements located in the
Premises at the commencement of the term of the Lease.




          7. Notice. All notices under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been properly
given if delivered by overnight courier service or mailed by United States certified mail, with
return receipt requested, postage prepaid to the party receiving the notice at its address set
forth in the Defined Terms (or at such other address as shall be given in writing by such party to
the other parties) and shall be deemed complete upon receipt or refusal of delivery.




          8. Miscellaneous. Beneficiary shall not be subject to any provision of the Lease
that is inconsistent with this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to
derogate from or in any way impair or affect the lien or the provisions of the Deed of Trust. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of in which
the Property is located.




          9. Liability and Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall run with the land and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties and, their respective successors and permitted assigns
including a Foreclosure Purchaser. If a Foreclosure Purchaser acquires the Property or if
Beneficiary assigns or transfers its interest in the Note and Deed of Trust or the Property, all
obligations and liabilities of Beneficiary under this Agreement shall terminate and be the
responsibility of the Foreclosure Purchaser or other party to whom Beneficiary’s interest is
assigned or transferred. The interest of Tenant under this Agreement may not be assigned or
transferred except in connection with an assignment of its interest in the Lease which has been
consented to by Beneficiary.

Attornment Agreement as of the Execution Date.
