1. Basic Lease Information.





	 	1.01	 	“Building” shall collectively mean the buildings and retail concourse in Foster City,
California, located at 1001 East Hillsdale Boulevard (the “West Tower”), 1031 A-F East
Hillsdale Boulevard (the “Retail Concourse”), and 1051 East Hillsdale Boulevard (the “East
Tower”). “Rentable Square Footage of the Building” is deemed to be 398,460 square feet
based upon the combined rentable area of the West Tower, the Retail Concourse and the East
Tower.
	 
	 	1.02	 	“Premises” shall mean the area shown on Exhibit A to this Lease. The Premises is
located on the eighth floor of the East Tower and known as suite 800. If the Premises
include one or more floors in their entirety, all corridors and restroom facilities located
on such full floor(s) shall be considered part of the Premises. The “Rentable Square
Footage of the Premises” is deemed to be 35,435 square feet. Landlord and Tenant stipulate
and agree that the Rentable Square Footage of the Building and the Rentable Square Footage
of the Premises are correct.
	 
	 	1.03	 	“Base Rent”:





	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Annual Rate	 	Monthly
	Months of Term	 	Per Square Foot	 	Base Rent
	1 - 12

	 	$	22.80	 	 	$	67,326.50	 
	13 - 24

	 	$	24.60	 	 	$	72,641.75	 
	25 - 36

	 	$	26.40	 	 	$	77,957.00	 
	37 - 48

	 	$	27.60	 	 	$	81,500.50	 
	49 - 60

	 	$	28.80	 	 	$	85,044.00	 
	61 - 72

	 	$	30.00	 	 	$	88,587.50	 







	 	 	 	Notwithstanding anything in this Section of the Lease to the contrary, so long as
Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement
of Base Rent in the amount of $67,326.50 per month for three consecutive full calendar
months of the Term, beginning with the first full calendar month of the Term (the
“Base Rent Abatement Period”). The total amount of Base Rent abated during the Base
Rent Abatement Period shall equal $201,979.50 (the “Abated Base Rent”). If Tenant
defaults at any time during the Term and fails to cure such default within any
applicable cure period under the Lease, all Abated Base Rent shall immediately become
due and payable. The payment by Tenant of the Abated Base Rent in the event of a
default shall not limit or affect any of Landlord’s other rights, pursuant to this
Lease or at law or in equity. During the Base Rent Abatement Period, only Base Rent
shall be abated, and all Additional Rent and other costs and charges specified in this
Lease shall remain as due and payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.
	 
	 	1.04	 	“Tenant’s Pro Rata Share”: 8.8930%. For purposes of determining Tenant’s Pro Rata
Share, and as used throughout Exhibit B of this Lease, the “Building” shall mean,
collectively, the West Tower, the Retail Concourse and the East Tower, it being understood
and agreed that all of the foregoing buildings, collectively, are treated as a single
building for purposes of obtaining or providing services or otherwise determining Expenses
and/or Taxes. In calculating Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and/or Taxes with respect
to the Premises, the “Rentable Square Footage of the Building” described in Section 1.01
above reflects the combined rentable area in the foregoing buildings, collectively, and
“Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” with respect to the Premises, as described above, is based upon
the foregoing Rentable Square Footage of the Building. However, notwithstanding the
foregoing, if one or more buildings are removed from the group of buildings comprising the
Building, as described above in this Section, whether as a result of a sale or demolition
of the building(s) or otherwise, or if one or more buildings owned by Landlord are added to
the group of buildings comprising the Building, as

Square Footage of the Building”, as described in this Section 1, and “Tenant’s Pro
Rata Share” with respect to the Premises, shall be appropriately modified or adjusted
to reflect the deletion or addition of such buildings, and, if Tenant’s Pro Rata Share
of Expenses and/or Taxes with respect to the Premises is based upon increases in
Expenses and/or Taxes over a Base Year, then Expenses and/or Taxes for the Base Year
shall be restated on a going forward basis effective as of the date such buildings are
deleted or added to the definition of Building as described in this Section.

2. Lease Grant.




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



3. Adjustment of Commencement Date; Possession.




     3.01 If Landlord is required to perform Landlord Work prior to the Commencement Date: (a) the
date set forth in Section 1.06 as the Commencement Date shall instead be defined as the “Target



{QuinStreet, Inc. -6-00004264.}

May 30, 2003

Matter ID Number: 7329

Commencement
Date”; (b) the actual Commencement Date shall be the date on which the Landlord Work
is Substantially Complete (defined below); and (c) the Termination Date will the last day of the
Term as determined based upon the actual Commencement Date. Landlord’s failure to Substantially
Complete the Landlord Work by the Target Commencement Date shall not be a default by Landlord or
otherwise render Landlord liable for damages; provided, however, that if the Commencement Date has
not occurred on or before October 16, 2003 (the “Outside Completion Date”), Tenant shall be
entitled to a rent abatement following the Commencement Date, in addition to the Abated Base Rent
described in Section 1.03, of $2,171.82 for every day in the period beginning on the Outside
Completion Date and ending on the Commencement Date. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that
the Outside Completion Date shall be postponed by the number of days the Commencement Date is
delayed due to events of Force Majeure. Promptly after the determination of the Commencement Date,
Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a commencement letter agreement in the form attached as
Exhibit D. If the Termination Date does not fall on the last day of a calendar month, Landlord and
Tenant may elect to adjust the Termination Date to the last day of the calendar month in which
Termination Date occurs by the mutual execution of a commencement letter agreement setting forth
such adjusted date. The Landlord Work shall be deemed to be “Substantially Complete” on the later
of (a) the date that all Landlord Work has been performed, other than any details of construction,
mechanical adjustment or any other similar matter, the non-completion of which does not materially
interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance
with the Plans (as defined in the Work Letter and subject to any revisions to the Plans approved by
Landlord and Tenant in accordance with the Work Letter), and (b) the date Landlord receives from
the appropriate governmental authorities all approvals necessary for the occupancy of the Premises.
If Landlord is delayed in the performance of the Landlord Work as a result of the acts or omissions
of Tenant, the Tenant Related Parties (defined in Section 13) or their respective contractors or
vendors, including, without limitation, changes requested by Tenant to approved plans, Tenant’s
failure to comply with any of its obligations under this Lease, or the specification of any
materials or equipment with long lead times (a “Tenant Delay”), the Landlord Work shall be deemed
to be Substantially Complete on the date that Landlord could reasonably have been expected to
Substantially Complete the Landlord Work absent any Tenant Delay.




     3.02 Subject to Landlord’s obligation to perform Landlord Work and the Common Area Work, the
Premises are accepted by Tenant in “as is” condition and configuration without any representations
or warranties by Landlord. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant agrees that the Premises
are in good order and satisfactory condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent
caused by Tenant or any Tenant Related Party, as of the Commencement Date, the Building electrical,
heating, ventilation and air conditioning, mechanical and plumbing systems serving the Premises and
the Common Areas of the Building shall be in good order and satisfactory condition and in
compliance with applicable Laws (as defined in Section 5). If the foregoing are not in good working
order or compliance as provided above, Landlord shall be responsible for repairing or restoring
same, or correcting such violations, at its cost and expense, provided that the foregoing shall not
prohibit Landlord from including the cost of routine maintenance and repair of such Building
systems in Expenses as otherwise permitted under Section 4.02 hereof. If Tenant takes possession of
the Premises before the Commencement Date, such possession shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Lease and Tenant shall pay Rent (defined in Section 4.01) to Landlord for each
day of possession before the Commencement Date. However, except for the reasonable cost of services
requested by Tenant (e.g. freight elevator usage), Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent for any
days of possession before the Commencement Date during which Tenant, with the approval of Landlord,
is in possession of the Premises for the sole purpose of performing improvements or installing
furniture, equipment or other personal property. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the
terms of this Section 3.02, Landlord grants Tenant the right to enter the Premises, at Tenant’s
sole risk, thirty (30) days prior to Landlord’s then reasonable estimate of the Commencement Date,
for the purpose of installing telecommunications and data cabling, fiber optic links, equipment,
furnishings and other personalty, and for conducting business operations in the Premises. Landlord
may withdraw such permission to enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date at any time that
Landlord reasonably determines that such entry by Tenant is causing a dangerous situation for
Landlord, Tenant or their respective contractors or employees, or if Landlord reasonably
determines that such entry by Tenant is hampering or otherwise preventing Landlord from
proceeding with the completion of Landlord’s Work at the earliest possible date.



4. Rent.




     4.01 Tenant shall pay Landlord, without any setoff or deduction, unless expressly set forth in
this Lease, all Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the Term (collectively referred to as
“Rent”). “Additional Rent” means all sums (exclusive of Base Rent) that Tenant is required to pay
Landlord under this Lease. Tenant shall pay and be liable for all rental, sales and use taxes (but
excluding income taxes), if any, imposed upon or measured by Rent. Base Rent and recurring monthly
charges of Additional Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each calendar
month without notice or demand, provided that the installment of Base Rent for the fourth (subject
to Tenant’s right to receive Abated Base Rent pursuant to Section 1.03 of this Lease) full calendar
month of the Term, and the first monthly installment of Additional Rent for Expenses and Taxes,
shall be payable upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant. All other items of Rent shall be due
and payable by Tenant on or



{QuinStreet, Inc. -6-00004264.}

before 30 days after billing by Landlord. Rent shall be made payable to the entity, and sent to the
address, Landlord designates and shall be made by good and sufficient check or by other means
acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall pay Landlord an administration fee equal to 5% of all past due
Rent, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to a grace period of 5 days for the first 2 late
payments of Rent in a calendar year. In addition, past due Rent shall accrue interest at a rate per
annum equal to the Bank of America “prime rate”, as the same may be announced from time to time,
plus two percent (2%). Landlord’s acceptance of less than the correct amount of Rent shall be
considered a payment on account of the earliest Rent due. Rent for any partial month during the
Term shall be prorated. No endorsement or statement on a check or letter accompanying payment shall
be considered an accord and satisfaction. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent is independent of every
other covenant in this Lease.




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



5. Compliance with Laws; Use.




     The Premises shall be used for the Permitted Use and for no other use whatsoever. Tenant shall
comply with all statutes, codes, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of any municipal or
governmental entity whether in effect now or later, including the Americans with Disabilities Act
(“Law(s)”), regarding the operation of Tenant’s business and the use, condition, configuration and
occupancy of the Premises. In addition, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply
with any Laws that relate to the “Base Building” (defined below), but only to the extent such
obligations are triggered by Tenant’s use of the Premises, other than for general office use, or
Alterations or improvements in the Premises performed or requested by Tenant other than the
Landlord Work. “Base Building” shall include the structural portions of the Building, the public
restrooms and the Building mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and equipment located in the
internal core of the Building on the floor or floors on which the Premises are located.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord, at its sole cost and expense (except to the extent
properly included in Expenses), shall be responsible for correcting any violations of Laws with
respect to the Premises, provided that Landlord’s obligation shall be limited to violations that
arise out of or prior to the Landlord Work. Landlord shall have the right to contest any alleged
violation in good faith, including, without limitation, the right to apply for and obtain a waiver
or deferment of compliance, the right to assert any and all defenses allowed by Law and the right
to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings to the fullest extent permitted by Law. Landlord,
after the exhaustion of any and all rights to appeal or contest, will make all repairs, additions,
alterations or improvements necessary to comply with the terms of any final order or judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, not Landlord, shall be responsible for the correction of any
violations that arise out of or in connection with any claims brought under any provision of the
Americans with Disabilities Act other than Title III, the specific nature of Tenant’s business in
the Premises (other than general office use), the acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents,
employees or contractors, Tenant’s arrangement of any furniture, equipment or other property in the
Premises, any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements performed by or on behalf of Tenant
(other than the Landlord Work) and any design or configuration of the Premises specifically
requested by Tenant after being informed that such design or configuration may not be in strict
compliance with the ADA. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with copies of any notices it
receives regarding an alleged violation of Law. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations
of the Building attached as Exhibit E and such other reasonable rules and regulations adopted by
Landlord from time to time, including rules and regulations for the performance of Alterations
(defined in Section 9).



6. Security Deposit.




     The Security Deposit shall be delivered to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant
and held by Landlord without liability for interest (unless required by Law) as security for the
performance of Tenant’s obligations. The Security Deposit is not an advance payment of Rent or a
measure of damages. Landlord may use all or a portion of the Security Deposit to satisfy past due
Rent or to cure any Default (defined in Section 18) by Tenant. If Landlord uses any portion of the
Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within 5 days after demand, restore the Security Deposit to its
original amount. Landlord shall return any unapplied portion of the Security Deposit to Tenant
within 30 days after the later to occur of the Termination Date or the date Tenant surrenders the
Premises to Landlord in compliance with Section 25. In addition to any other deductions Landlord is
entitled to make pursuant to the terms hereof, Landlord shall have the right to make a good faith
estimate of any unreconciled Expenses and/or Taxes as of the Termination Date and to deduct any
anticipated shortfall from the Security Deposit. Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to a
successor or transferee and, following the assignment, Landlord shall have no further liability for
the return of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit
separate from its other accounts. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the
California Civil Code, or any similar or successor Laws now or hereinafter in effect.



     The Security Deposit may be in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit (the
“Letter of Credit”), which Letter of Credit shall: (a) be in the amount of $177,175.00;
(b) be issued on the form attached



{QuinStreet, Inc. -6-00004264.}

hereto as Exhibit H; (c) name Landlord as its beneficiary; and (d) be drawn on an FDIC insured
financial institution satisfactory to the Landlord. The Letter of Credit (and any renewals or
replacements thereof) shall be for a term of not less than 1 year. Tenant agrees that it shall from
time to time, as necessary, whether as a result of a draw on the Letter of Credit by Landlord
pursuant to the terms hereof or as a result of the expiration of the Letter of Credit then in effect, renew or
replace the original and any subsequent Letter of Credit so that a Letter of Credit, in the amount
required hereunder, is in effect until a date which is at least 60 days after the Termination Date
of the Lease. If Tenant fails to furnish such renewal or replacement at least 60 days prior to the
stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, Landlord may draw upon such
Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof (and such proceeds need not be segregated) as a
Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Section 6. Any renewal or replacement of the
original or any subsequent Letter of Credit shall meet the requirements for the original Letter of
Credit as set forth above, except that such replacement or renewal shall be issued by an FDIC
insured financial institution satisfactory to the Landlord at the time of the issuance thereof.




     If Landlord draws on the Letter of Credit as permitted in this Lease or the Letter of Credit,
then, upon demand of Landlord, Tenant shall restore the amount available under the Letter of Credit
to its original amount by providing Landlord with an amendment to the Letter of Credit evidencing
that the amount available under the Letter of Credit has been restored to its original amount. In
the alternative, Tenant may provide Landlord with cash, to be held by Landlord in accordance with
this Article, equal to the restoration amount required under the Letter of Credit.



7. Building Services.




     7.01 Landlord shall furnish Tenant with the following services: (a) water for use in the Base
Building lavatories, and for any fixtures which would normally be found in a general office space for
use of all employees therein (for example, without limitation, drinking fountains and fixtures and
equipment that may be found in a kitchenette breakroom area, such as a sink, icemaker, dishwasher, and water
lines to a refrigerator; collectively, the “Breakroom Fixtures”). Even though same may be located in
the Premises, Landlord agrees to be responsible for the maintenance and repair of any fixtures and
water lines serving the lavatories on each floor on which the Premises are located, except to the
extent caused by any misuse or vandalism of Tenant, its employees, contractors or any other parties in the
Premises at the invitation of Tenant. However, Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s cost, for the
repair and maintenance of the water line(s) and fixtures within the Premises relating to any Breakroom
Fixtures; (b) customary heat and air conditioning in season during Building Service Hours. Tenant shall
have the right to receive HVAC service during hours other than Building Service Hours by paying
Landlord’s then standard charge for additional HVAC service and providing such prior notice as is reasonably
specified by Landlord; (c) standard janitorial service on Business Days; (d) Elevator service, provided
that Landlord shall lock off elevator access to the fourth through seventh floors of the Building
so long as the same are unoccupied; (e) Electricity in accordance with the terms and conditions in Section
7.02; and (f) a permanent security desk in the lobby of the Building, (g) such other services as Landlord
reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate for the Property.



     7.02 Electricity used by Tenant in the Premises shall, at Landlord’s option, be paid for by
Tenant either: (a) through inclusion in Expenses (except as provided for excess usage); (b) by a
separate charge payable by Tenant to Landlord; or (c) by separate charge billed by the applicable
utility company and payable directly by Tenant. Without the consent of Landlord, Tenant’s use of
electrical service shall not exceed, either in voltage, rated capacity, use beyond Building Service
Hours or overall load, that which Landlord reasonably deems to be standard for the Building. For
purposes hereof, such standard for the Building is: (i) a design load of 1.6 watts per square foot
of net usable floor area for all building standard overhead lighting located within the Premises
which requires a voltage of 480/277 volts; and (ii) a connected load of 5 watts per square foot of
net usable area for all equipment located and operated within the Premises which requires a voltage
of 120/208 volts single phase or less, it being understood that electricity required to operate the
base building HVAC system is not included within or deducted from such 5 watts per square foot
described in this subsection. Landlord shall have the right to measure electrical usage by commonly
accepted methods. If it is determined that Tenant is using excess electricity, Tenant shall pay
Landlord for the cost of such excess electrical usage as Additional Rent.



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



{QuinStreet, Inc. -6-00004264.}

Premises have not been rendered untenantable by the Service Failure, the amount of abatement shall
be equitably prorated.




8. Leasehold Improvements.




     All improvements in and to the Premises, including any Alterations (collectively, “Leasehold
Improvements”) shall remain upon the Premises at the end of the Term without compensation to
Tenant. Landlord, however, by written notice to Tenant at least 30 days prior to the Termination
Date, may require Tenant, at its expense, to remove (a) any Cable (defined in Section 9.01)
installed by or for the benefit of Tenant, and (b) any Landlord Work or Alterations that, in
Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are of a nature that would require removal and repair costs that
are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs associated with standard office
improvements (collectively referred to as “Required Removables”). Required Removables shall
include, without limitation, internal stairways, raised floors, personal baths and showers, vaults,
rolling file systems and structural alterations and modifications. The designated Required
Removables shall be removed by Tenant before the Termination Date. Tenant shall repair damage
caused by the installation or removal of Required Removables. If Tenant fails to perform its
obligations in a timely manner, Landlord may perform such work at Tenant’s expense. Tenant, at the
time it requests approval for a proposed Alteration, may request in writing that Landlord advise
Tenant whether the Alteration or any portion of the Alteration is a Required Removable. Within 10
days after receipt of Tenant’s request, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing as to which
portions of the Alteration are Required Removables. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to
the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to remove any portion of the Landlord Work shown on the
Plans as of the date of this Lease, as such terms are defined in the Work Letter.



9. Repairs and Alterations.




     9.01 Tenant shall periodically inspect the Premises to identify any conditions that are
dangerous or in need of maintenance or repair. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with notice
of any such conditions. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform all maintenance and
repairs to the Premises that are not Landlord’s express responsibility under this Lease, and keep
the Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant’s repair and
maintenance obligations include, without limitation, repairs to: (a) floor covering; (b) interior
partitions; (c) doors; (d) the interior side of demising walls; (e) electronic, phone and data
cabling and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant
(collectively, “Cable”); (f) supplemental air conditioning units, kitchens, including hot water
heaters, plumbing, and similar facilities exclusively serving Tenant; and (g) Alterations. To the
extent Landlord is not reimbursed by insurance proceeds, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the
cost of repairing damage to the Building caused by the acts of Tenant, Tenant Related Parties and
their respective contractors and vendors. If Tenant fails to make any repairs to the Premises for
more than 15 days after notice from Landlord (although notice shall not be required in an
emergency), Landlord may make the repairs, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of the repairs,
together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to 5% of the cost of the repairs.



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



     9.03 Tenant shall not make alterations, repairs, additions or improvements or install any Cable
(collectively referred to as “Alterations”) without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord
in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. However, Landlord’s
consent shall not be required for any Alteration that satisfies all of the following criteria (a
“Cosmetic Alteration”): (a) is of a cosmetic nature such as painting, wallpapering, hanging
pictures and installing carpeting; (b) is not visible from the exterior of the Premises or
Building; (c) will not affect the Base Building; and (d) does not require work to be performed
inside the walls or above the ceiling of the Premises. Cosmetic Alterations shall be subject to all
the other provisions of this Section 9.03. Prior to starting work, Tenant shall furnish Landlord
with plans and specifications; names of contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord (provided
that Landlord may designate specific contractors with respect to Base Building); required permits
and approvals; evidence of contractor’s and subcontractor’s insurance in amounts reasonably
required by Landlord and naming Landlord as an additional insured; and any security for performance
in amounts reasonably required by Landlord. Changes to the plans and specifications must also be
submitted to Landlord for its approval. Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike
manner using materials of a quality reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for any sums paid by Landlord for third party examination of Tenant’s plans for
non-Cosmetic Alterations, in addition, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee for Landlord’s oversight and
coordination of any non-Cosmetic Alterations equal to 2% of the cost of the Alterations. Upon
completion, Tenant shall furnish “as-built” plans for non-Cosmetic Alterations, completion
affidavits and

full and final waivers of lien. Landlord’s approval of an Alteration shall not be deemed a
representation by Landlord that the Alteration complies with Law.




10. Entry by Landlord.




     Landlord may enter the Premises to inspect, show or clean the Premises or to perform or
facilitate the performance of repairs, alterations or additions to the Premises or any portion of
the Building. Except in emergencies or to provide Building services, Landlord shall provide Tenant
with reasonable prior (not less than 24 hours, except for entry during the last 9 months of the
Term for purposes of showing the Premises to prospective tenants) verbal notice of entry and shall
use reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises. If
reasonably necessary, Landlord may temporarily close all or a portion of the Premises to perform
repairs, alterations and additions. However, except in emergencies, Landlord will not close the
Premises if the work can reasonably be completed on weekends and after Building Service Hours.
Entry by Landlord shall not constitute a constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement or
reduction of Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord temporarily closes the Premises as
provided above for a period in excess of 2 consecutive Business Days, Tenant, as its sole remedy,
shall be entitled to receive a per diem abatement of Base Rent during the period beginning on the
3rd consecutive Business Day of closure and ending on the date on which the Premises are
returned to Tenant in a tenantable condition. Tenant, however, shall not be entitled to an
abatement if the repairs, alterations and/or additions to be performed are required as a result of
the acts or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, including, without
limitation, a default by Tenant in its maintenance and repair obligations under the Lease.



11. Assignment and Subletting.




     11.01 Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section 11.04), Tenant shall
not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease or allow any third party to
use any portion of the Premises (collectively or individually, but excluding Permitted Transfers, a
“Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed if Landlord does not exercise its recapture rights under Section
11.02. If the entity which controls the voting shares/rights of Tenant changes at any time, such
change of ownership or control shall constitute a Transfer unless (a) Tenant is an entity whose
outstanding stock is listed on a recognized securities exchange or if at least 80% of its voting
stock is owned by another entity, the voting stock of which is so listed, or (b) the change of
ownership otherwise qualifies as Permitted Transfer under Section 11.04. Tenant hereby waives the
provisions of Section 1995.310 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor Laws, now
or hereinafter in effect, and all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law
or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all
applicable Laws, on behalf of the proposed transferee. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this
Section is voidable by Landlord. In no event shall any Transfer, including a Permitted Transfer,
release or relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease.



     11.02 Tenant shall provide Landlord with financial statements for the proposed transferee, a
fully executed copy of the proposed assignment, sublease or other Transfer documentation and such
other information as Landlord may reasonably request. Within 10 Business Days after receipt of the
required information and documentation, Landlord shall either: (a) consent to the Transfer by
execution of a consent agreement in a form reasonably designated by Landlord; (b) reasonably refuse
to consent to the Transfer in writing; or (c) in the event of an assignment of this Lease or
subletting of more than 20% of the Rentable Area of the Premises for a proposed sublease term, with
or without renewal options relating thereto, set to expire during the last 12 months of the Term of
the Lease, recapture the portion of the Premises that Tenant is proposing to Transfer. If Landlord
exercises its right to recapture, this Lease shall automatically be amended (or terminated if the
entire Premises is being assigned or sublet) to delete the applicable portion of the Premises
effective on the proposed effective date of the Transfer. Tenant shall pay Landlord a review fee of
$750.00 for Landlord’s review of any Permitted Transfer or requested Transfer.



     11.03 Tenant shall pay Landlord 50% of all rent and other consideration which Tenant receives
as a result of a Transfer that is in excess of the Rent payable to Landlord for the portion of the
Premises and Term covered by the Transfer. Tenant shall pay Landlord for Landlord’s share of the
excess within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of the excess. Tenant may deduct from the excess, on a
straight-line basis, all reasonable and customary expenses directly incurred by Tenant attributable
to the Transfer. If Tenant is in Default, Landlord may require that all sublease payments be made
directly to Landlord, in which case Tenant shall receive a credit against Rent in the amount of
Tenant’s share of payments received by Landlord.



     11.04 Tenant may assign this Lease to a successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation
or reorganization (an “Ownership Change”) or assign this Lease or sublet all or a portion of the
Premises to an Affiliate without the consent of Landlord, provided that all of the following
conditions are satisfied (a “Permitted Transfer”): (a) Tenant is not in Default; (b) in the event
of an Ownership Change, Tenant’s successor shall own substantially all of the assets of Tenant and
have a net worth which is at least equal



{QuinStreet, Inc. -6-00004264.}

May 30, 2003

Matter ID Number: 7329




7









 




to Tenant’s net worth as of the day prior to the proposed Ownership Change; (c) the Permitted Use
does not allow the Premises to be used for retail purposes; and (d) Tenant shall give Landlord
written notice at least 15 Business Days prior to the effective date of the Permitted Transfer
(provided that, if prohibited by confidentiality in connection with a proposed purchase, merger,
consolidation or reorganization, then Tenant shall give Landlord written notice within 10 days
after the effective date of the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization).
Tenant’s notice to Landlord shall include information and documentation evidencing the Permitted
Transfer and showing that each of the above conditions has been satisfied. If requested by
Landlord, Tenant’s successor shall sign a commercially reasonable form of assumption agreement.
“Affiliate” shall mean an entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with Tenant.




12. Liens.




     Tenant shall not permit mechanics’ or other liens to be placed upon the Property, Premises or
Tenant’s leasehold interest in connection with any work or service done or purportedly done by or
for the benefit of Tenant or its transferees. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least 15 days
prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises to afford Landlord the opportunity, where
applicable, to post and record notices of non-responsibility. Tenant, within 10 days of notice from
Landlord, shall fully discharge any lien by settlement, by bonding or by insuring over the lien in
the manner prescribed by the applicable lien Law. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may bond,
insure over or otherwise discharge the lien. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any amount paid by
Landlord, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.



13. Indemnity and Waiver of Claims.




     Tenant hereby waives all claims against and releases Landlord and its trustees, members,
principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, Mortgagees (defined in Section
23) and agents (the “Landlord Related Parties”) from all claims for any injury to or death of
persons, damage to property or business loss in any manner related to (a) Force Majeure, (b) acts
of third parties, (c) the bursting or leaking of any tank, water closet, drain or other pipe, (d)
the inadequacy or failure of any security services, personnel or equipment, or (e) any matter not
within the reasonable control of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in
Section 15 to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to waive any claims against Landlord
(other than for loss or damage to Tenant’s business) where such loss or damage is due to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties, and nothing herein
shall be construed as to diminish the repair and maintenance obligations of Landlord contained
elsewhere in this Lease. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties or Landlord’s contractors, Tenant shall indemnify, defend
and hold Landlord and Landlord Related Parties harmless against and from all liabilities,
obligations, damages, penalties, claims, actions, costs, charges and expenses, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other professional fees (if and to the extent permitted
by Law) (collectively referred to as “Losses”), which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted
against Landlord or any of the Landlord Related Parties by any third party and arising out of or in
connection with any damage or injury occurring in the Premises or any acts or omissions (including
violations of Law) of Tenant, the Tenant Related Parties or any of Tenant’s transferees,
contractors or licensees. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties, Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant, its
trustees, members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents
(“Tenant Related Parties”) harmless against and from all Losses which may be imposed upon, incurred
by or asserted against Tenant or any of the Tenant Related Parties by any third party and arising
out of or in connection with the acts or omissions (including violations of Law) of Landlord or the
Landlord Related Parties.



14. Insurance.




     Tenant shall maintain the following insurance (“Tenant’s Insurance”): (a) Commercial General
Liability Insurance applicable to the Premises and its appurtenances providing, on an occurrence
basis, a minimum combined single limit of $2,000,000.00; (b) Property/Business Interruption
Insurance written on an All Risk or Special Perils form, with coverage for broad form water damage
including earthquake sprinkler leakage, at replacement cost value and with a replacement cost
endorsement covering all of Tenant’s business and trade fixtures, equipment, movable partitions,
furniture, merchandise and other personal property within the Premises (“Tenant’s Property”) and
any Leasehold Improvements performed by or for the benefit of Tenant; (c) Workers’ Compensation
Insurance in amounts required by Law; and (d) Employers Liability Coverage of at least
$1,000,000.00 per occurrence. Any company writing Tenant’s Insurance shall have an A.M. Best rating
of not less than A-VIII. All Commercial General Liability Insurance policies shall name as
additional insureds Landlord (or its successors and assignees), the managing agent for the Building
(or any successor), EOP Operating Limited Partnership, Equity Office Properties Trust and their
respective members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, and
agents, and other designees of Landlord and its successors as the interest of such designees shall
appear. All policies of Tenant’s Insurance shall contain endorsements that the



{QuinStreet, Inc. -6-00004264.}

Matter ID Number: 7329




8









 




insurer(s) shall give Landlord and its designees at least 30 days’ advance written notice of any
cancellation, termination, material change or lapse of insurance. Tenant shall provide Landlord
with a certificate of insurance evidencing Tenant’s Insurance prior to the earlier to occur of the
Commencement Date or the date Tenant is provided with possession of the Premises, and thereafter as
necessary to assure that Landlord always has current certificates evidencing Tenant’s Insurance. So
long as the same is available at commercially reasonable rates, Landlord shall maintain so called All Risk property insurance on the
Building at replacement cost value as reasonably estimated by Landlord.




15. Subrogation.




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



16. Casualty Damage.




     16.01 If all or any portion of the Premises becomes untenantable by reason of fire or other
casualty to the Premises (collectively a “Casualty”), Landlord, with reasonable promptness, shall
cause a general contractor selected by Landlord to provide Landlord and Tenant with a written
estimate of the amount of time required using standard working methods to Substantially Complete
the repair and restoration of the Premises and any Common Areas necessary to provide access to the
Premises (“Completion Estimate”). If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises or any
Common Areas necessary to provide access to the Premises cannot be made tenantable within 270 days
from the date the repair is started, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease
upon written notice to the other within 10 days after receipt of the Completion Estimate. In
addition, Tenant, by notice to Landlord within 10 days after the date of the Completion Estimate,
shall have the right to terminate this Lease if: (1) the Premises have been materially damaged and
there is less than 2 years of the Term remaining on the date of the Casualty; and (2) the
Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises or any Common Areas necessary to provide access to
the Premises cannot be made tenantable within 90 days from the date the repair is started. Tenant,
however, shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if the Casualty was caused by the gross
negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties, regardless of
anything in the foregoing to the contrary. Landlord, by notice to Tenant within 90 days after the
date of the Casualty, also shall have the right to terminate this Lease if: (1) the Premises have
been materially damaged and there is less than 2 years of the Term remaining on the date of the
Casualty; (2) any Mortgagee requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to the payment of the
mortgage debt; or (3) a material uninsured loss to the Building occurs.



     16.02 If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to
reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control,
restore the Premises and Common Areas. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same
condition that existed prior to the Casualty, except for modifications required by Law or any other
modifications to the Common Areas deemed desirable by Landlord. Upon notice from Landlord, Tenant
shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all property insurance proceeds
payable to Tenant under Tenant’s Insurance with respect to any Leasehold Improvements performed by
or for the benefit of Tenant; provided if the estimated cost to repair such Leasehold Improvements
exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, the
excess cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s commencement of
repairs. Within 15 days of demand, Tenant shall also pay Landlord for any additional excess costs
that are determined during the performance of the repairs. Landlord shall not be liable for any
inconvenience to Tenant, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from the Casualty or
the repair thereof, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord or Landlord’s employees or contractors. Provided that Tenant is not in Default, during any
period of time that all or a material portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable as a result
of a Casualty, the Rent shall abate for the portion of the Premises that is untenantable and not
used by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant was entitled to but elected not to
exercise its right to terminate the Lease and Landlord does not substantially complete the repair
and restoration of the Premises within 60 days after the expiration of the estimated period of time
set forth in the Completion Estimate, which period shall be extended to the extent of any
Reconstruction Delays, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within 15
days after the expiration of such period, as the same may be extended. For purposes of this Lease,
the term “Reconstruction Delays” shall mean: (i) any delays caused by the insurance adjustment
process; and (ii) any delays caused by Tenant.



     16.03 The provisions of this Lease, including this Section 16, constitute an express agreement
between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any
part of the Premises or the Property, and any Laws, including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2)
and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning
damage or destruction in



{QuinStreet, Inc. -6-00004264.}

Matter ID Number: 7329

the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any similar or successor Laws now or
hereinafter in effect, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all
or any part of the Premises or the Property.




17. Condemnation.




     Either party may terminate this Lease if any material part of the Premises is taken or
condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in
lieu thereof (a “Taking”). Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a
Taking of any portion of the Building or Property which would have a material adverse effect on
Landlord’s ability to profitably operate the remainder of the Building. The terminating party shall
provide written notice of termination to the other party within 45 days after it first receives
notice of the Taking. The termination shall be effective on the date the physical taking occurs. If
this Lease is not terminated, Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be appropriately adjusted
to account for any reduction in the square footage of the Building or Premises. All compensation
awarded for a Taking shall be the property of Landlord. The right to receive compensation or
proceeds are expressly waived by Tenant, however, Tenant may file a separate claim for Tenant’s
Property and Tenant’s reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the claim does not
diminish the amount of Landlord’s award. If only a part of the Premises is subject to a Taking and
this Lease is not terminated, Landlord, with reasonable diligence, will restore the remaining
portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to the condition immediately prior to the Taking.
Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to Section 1265.130 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure, or any similar or successor Laws.



18. Events of Default.




     Each
of the following occurrences shall be a “Default”: (a) Tenant’s failure to pay any
portion of Rent when due, if the failure continues for 3 days after written notice to Tenant
(“Monetary Default”); (b) Tenant’s failure (other than a Monetary Default) to comply with any term,
provision, condition or covenant of this Lease, if the failure is not cured within 30 days after
written notice to Tenant provided, however, if Tenant’s failure to comply cannot reasonably be
cured within 30 days, Tenant shall be allowed additional time (not to exceed 90 days) as is
reasonably necessary to cure the failure so long as Tenant begins the cure within 30 days and
diligently pursues the cure to completion; (c) Tenant or any Guarantor becomes insolvent, makes a
transfer in fraud of creditors, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing
its inability to pay its debts when due or forfeits or loses its right to conduct business; (d) the
leasehold estate is taken by process or operation of Law; or (e) Tenant is in default beyond any
notice and cure period under any other lease or agreement with Landlord at the Building or
Property. All notices sent under this Section shall be in satisfaction of, and not in addition to,
notice required by Law.



19. Remedies.




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




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






	 	(i)	 	The Worth at the Time of Award of the unpaid Rent which had been
earned at the time of termination;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The Worth at the Time of Award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which
would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the
amount of such Rent loss that Tenant affirmatively proves could have been
reasonably avoided;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	The Worth at the Time of Award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the
balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such Rent loss
that Tenant affirmatively proves could be reasonably avoided;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment either
proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result
therefrom;
and





{QuinStreet, Inc. -6-00004264.}

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






	 	 	 	The “Worth at the Time of Award” of the amounts referred to in parts (i) and (ii)
above, shall be computed by allowing interest at the lesser of a per annum rate equal
to: (A) the greatest per annum rate of interest permitted from time to time under
applicable law, or (B) the Prime Rate plus 5%. For purposes hereof, the “Prime Rate”
shall be the per annum interest rate publicly announced as its prime or base rate by
a federally insured bank selected by Landlord in the State of California. The “Worth
at the Time of Award” of the amount referred to in part (iii), above, shall be
computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank
of San Francisco at the time of award plus 1%;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Employ the remedy described in California Civil Code § 1951.4 (Landlord may
continue this Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover Rent as
it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable
limitations); or
	 
	 	(c)	 	Notwithstanding Landlord’s exercise of the remedy described in California Civil
Code § 1951.4 in respect of an event or events of default, at such time thereafter as
Landlord may elect in writing, to terminate this Lease and Tenant’s right to possession
of the Premises and recover an award of damages as provided above in Paragraph 19.01
(a).





     19.02 The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a
waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other
than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s
knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. No waiver by Landlord of
any breach hereof shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord.



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



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



     19.05 If Tenant is in Default of any of its non-monetary obligations under the Lease, Landlord
shall have the right to perform such obligations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of
such performance upon demand together with an administrative charge equal to 5% of the cost of the
work performed by Landlord.



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



20. Limitation of Liability.




     NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE LIABILITY OF LANDLORD
(AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR LANDLORD) SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF (A) THE INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN
THE PROPERTY, OR (B) THE EQUITY INTEREST LANDLORD WOULD HAVE IN THE PROPERTY IF THE PROPERTY WERE
ENCUMBERED BY THIRD PARTY DEBT IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO 70% OF THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY. TENANT SHALL
LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT OR AWARD
AGAINST LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY. NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY
SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY JUDGMENT OR DEFICIENCY, AND IN NO EVENT SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY
LANDLORD RELATED PARTY BE LIABLE TO TENANT FOR ANY LOST PROFIT, DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OR
ANY FORM OF SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE. BEFORE FILING SUIT FOR AN ALLEGED DEFAULT BY
LANDLORD,

TENANT SHALL GIVE LANDLORD AND THE MORTGAGEE(S) WHOM TENANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED HOLD MORTGAGES
(DEFINED IN SECTION 23 BELOW), NOTICE AND REASONABLE TIME TO CURE THE ALLEGED DEFAULT.




21. [Intentionally Omitted].




22. Holding Over.




     If Tenant fails to surrender all or any part of the Premises at the termination of this Lease,
occupancy of the Premises after termination shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. Tenant’s
occupancy shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease, and Tenant shall pay an
amount (on a per month basis without reduction for partial months during the holdover) equal to
150% of the sum of the Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the period immediately preceding the
holdover. No holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall be
construed to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the
Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the
Premises to a new tenant or to perform improvements for a new tenant as a result of Tenant’s
holdover and Tenant fails to vacate the Premises within 15 days after notice from Landlord, Tenant
shall be liable for all damages that Landlord suffers from the holdover.



23. Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate.




     Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground
lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building or the
Property, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively
referred to as a “Mortgage”). The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a
“Mortgagee”. This clause shall be self-operative, but upon request from a Mortgagee, Tenant shall
execute a commercially reasonable subordination agreement in favor of the Mortgagee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a condition precedent to the future subordination of this Lease
to a future Mortgage, Landlord shall be required to provide Tenant with a non-disturbance,
subordination, and attornment agreement in favor of Tenant from any Mortgagee who comes into
existence after the Commencement Date. Such non-disturbance, subordination, and attornment
agreement in favor of Tenant shall provide that, so long as Tenant is paying the Rent due under the
Lease and is not otherwise in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure period, its right
to possession and the other terms of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Such
non-disturbance, subordination, and attornment agreement may include other commercially reasonable
provisions in favor of the Mortgagee, including, without limitation, additional time on behalf of
the Mortgagee to cure defaults of the Landlord and provide that (a) neither Mortgagee nor any
successor-in-interest shall be bound by (i) any payment of the Base Rent, Additional Rent, or other
sum due under this Lease for more than 1 month in advance or (ii) any amendment or modification of
the Lease made without the express written consent of Mortgagee or any successor-in-interest; (b)
neither Mortgagee nor any successor-in-interest will be liable for (i) any act or omission or
warranties of any prior landlord (including Landlord), (ii) the breach of any warranties or
obligations relating to construction of improvements on the Property or any tenant finish work
performed or to have been performed by any prior landlord (including Landlord), or (iii) the return
of any security deposit, except to the extent such deposits have been received by Mortgagee; and
(c) neither Mortgagee nor any successor-in-interest shall be subject to any offsets or defenses
which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord). As an alternative, a
Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. Upon request,
Tenant, without charge, shall attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease.
Landlord and Tenant shall each, within 10 days after receipt of a written request from the other,
execute and deliver a commercially reasonable estoppel certificate to those parties as are
reasonably requested by the other (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). Without
limitation, such estoppel certificate may include a certification as to the status of this Lease,
the existence of any defaults and the amount of Rent that is due and payable. Landlord hereby
represents and warrants that there is no Mortgagee as of the date of this Lease.



24. Notice.




     All demands, approvals, consents or notices (collectively referred to as a “notice”) shall be
in writing and delivered by hand or sent by registered or certified mail with return receipt
requested or sent by overnight or same day courier service at the party’s respective Notice
Address(es) set forth in Section 1. Each notice shall be deemed to have been received on the earlier to occur of actual delivery or the date on which delivery is refused,
or, if Tenant has vacated the Premises or any other Notice Address of Tenant without providing a
new Notice Address, 3 days after notice is deposited in the U.S. mail or with a courier service in
the manner described above. Either party may, at any time, change its Notice Address (other than to
a post office box address) by giving the other party written notice of the new address.

25. Surrender of Premises.




     At the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession, Tenant shall remove Tenant’s
Property from the Premises, and quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean, and in
good order, condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage which Landlord is obligated to
repair hereunder excepted. If Tenant fails to remove any of Tenant’s Property within 2 days after
termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, shall be entitled (but not obligated) to remove and store Tenant’s Property. Landlord
shall not be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping of Tenant’s Property. Tenant
shall pay Landlord, upon demand, the expenses and storage charges incurred. If Tenant fails to
remove Tenant’s Property from the Premises or storage, within 30 days after notice, Landlord may
deem all or any part of Tenant’s Property to be abandoned and title to Tenant’s Property shall vest
in Landlord.



26. Miscellaneous.




     26.01 This Lease shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of
California and Landlord and Tenant hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction and proper venue
of such state or commonwealth. If any term or provision of this Lease shall to any extent be void
or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected. If there is more than one
Tenant or if Tenant is comprised of more than one party or entity, the obligations imposed upon
Tenant shall be joint and several obligations of all the parties and entities, and requests or
demands from any one person or entity comprising Tenant shall be deemed to have been made by all
such persons or entities. Notices to any one person or entity shall be deemed to have been given to
all persons and entities. Each party represents and warrants to the other that each individual
executing this Lease on its behalf is authorized to do so on its behalf. Tenant represents and
warrants to Landlord that Tenant is not, and the entities or individuals constituting Tenant or
which may own or control Tenant or which may be owned or controlled by Tenant are not, among the
individuals or entities identified on any list compiled pursuant to Executive Order 13224 for the
purpose of identifying suspected terrorists.



     26.02 If either party institutes a suit against the other for violation of or to enforce any
covenant, term or condition of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to all of its
costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. Landlord and Tenant
hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any proceeding based upon a breach of this Lease. Either
party’s failure to declare a default immediately upon its occurrence, or delay in taking action for
a default, shall not constitute a waiver of the default, nor shall it constitute an estoppel.



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



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



     26.05 Landlord has delivered a copy of this Lease to Tenant for Tenant’s review only and the
delivery of it does not constitute an offer to Tenant or an option. Tenant represents that it has
dealt directly with and only with the Broker as a broker in connection with this Lease. Landlord
agrees to pay a brokerage commission to Broker in accordance with the terms of a separate written
commission agreement to be entered into between Landlord and Broker. Tenant shall indemnify and
hold Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties harmless from all claims of any brokers other than
Broker claiming to have represented Tenant in connection with this Lease. Landlord shall indemnify
and hold Tenant and the Tenant Related Parties harmless from all claims of any brokers claiming to
have represented Landlord in connection with this Lease. Equity Office Properties Management Corp.

assistance rendered by any agent or employee of EOPMC in connection with this Lease or any
subsequent amendment or modification hereto has been or will be made as an accommodation to Tenant
solely in furtherance of consummating the transaction on behalf of Landlord, and not as agent for
Tenant.



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



     26.07 Tenant may peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Premises, subject to the terms of this Lease,
provided Tenant pays the Rent and fully performs all of its covenants and agreements. This

EXHIBIT B




EXPENSES AND TAXES



This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between CA-PARKSIDE TOWERS LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”) and QUINSTREET, INC., a California
corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 1051 East Hillsdale Boulevard, Foster
City, California.




1. Payments.




     1.01 Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount, if any, by which Expenses (defined
below) for each calendar year during the Term exceed Expenses for the Base Year (the “Expense
Excess”) and also the amount, if any, by which Taxes (defined below) for each calendar year during
the Term exceed Taxes for the Base Year (the “Tax Excess”). If Expenses or Taxes in any calendar
year decrease below the amount of Expenses or Taxes for the Base Year, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of
Expenses or Taxes, as the case may be, for that calendar year shall be $0. Landlord shall provide
Tenant with a good faith estimate of the Expense Excess and of the Tax Excess for each calendar
year during the Term. On or before the first day of each month, commencing in January, 2005, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of
Landlord’s estimate of both the Expense Excess and Tax Excess. After its receipt of the revised
estimate, Tenant’s monthly payments shall be based upon the revised estimate. If Landlord does not
provide Tenant with an estimate of the Expense Excess or the Tax Excess by January 1 of a calendar
year, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments based on the previous year’s estimate(s)
until Landlord provides Tenant with the new estimate.



     1.02 As soon as is practical following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish
Tenant with a statement of the actual Expenses and Expense Excess and the actual Taxes and Tax
Excess for the prior calendar year. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to furnish the statement
of actual Expenses on or before June 1 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year
to which the statement applies. If the estimated Expense Excess or estimated Tax Excess for the
prior calendar year is more than the actual Expense Excess or actual Tax Excess, as the case may
be, for the prior calendar year, Landlord shall either provide Tenant with a refund or apply any
overpayment by Tenant against Additional Rent due or next becoming due, provided if the Term expires
before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund any overpayment to Tenant after
first deducting the amount of Rent due. If the estimated Expense Excess or estimated Tax Excess for
the prior calendar year is less than the actual Expense Excess or actual Tax Excess, as the case
may be, for such prior year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within 30 days after its receipt of the
statement of Expenses or Taxes, any underpayment for the prior calendar year.



2. Expenses.




     2.01 “Expenses” means all costs and expenses incurred in each calendar year in connection with
operating, maintaining, repairing, and managing the Building and the Property. Landlord agrees to
act in a commercially reasonable manner in incurring Expenses, taking into consideration the class
and the quality of the Building. Expenses include, without limitation: (a) all labor and labor
related costs; (b) management fees (expressed as a percentage of gross receipts for the Building,
not to exceed the prevailing market management fees (expressed as a percentage of gross receipts),
for comparable third party management companies offering comparable management services in office
buildings similar to the Building in class, size, age and location); (c) the cost of equipping,
staffing and operating an on-site and/or off-site management office for the Building, provided if
the management office services one or more other buildings or properties, the shared costs and
expenses of equipping, staffing and operating such management office(s) shall be equitably prorated
and apportioned between the Building and the other buildings or properties; (d) accounting costs;
(e) the cost of services; (f) rental and purchase cost of parts, supplies, tools and equipment; (g)
insurance premiums and deductibles; (h) electricity, gas and other utility costs; and (i) the
amortized cost of capital improvements (as distinguished from replacement parts or components
installed in the ordinary course of business) made subsequent to the Base Year which are: (1)
performed primarily to reduce current or future operating expense costs, upgrade Building security
or otherwise improve the operating efficiency of the Property; or (2) required to comply with any
Laws that are enacted, or first interpreted to apply to the Property, after the date of this Lease.
The cost of capital improvements shall be amortized by Landlord over the lesser of the Payback
Period (defined below) or the useful life of the capital improvement as reasonably determined by
Landlord in accordance with commonly accepted standards for the real estate industry. “Payback
Period” means the reasonably estimated period of time that it takes for the cost savings resulting
from a capital improvement to equal the total cost of the capital improvement. Landlord, by itself
or through an affiliate, shall have the right to directly perform, provide and be compensated for
any services under this Lease. If Landlord incurs Expenses for the Building or Property together
with one or more other buildings or properties, whether pursuant to a reciprocal easement
agreement, common area agreement or



{QuinStreet, Inc. -6-00004264.}

May 30, 2003

Matter ID Number: 7329

otherwise, the shared costs and expenses shall be equitably
prorated and apportioned between the Building and Property and the other buildings or properties.




     2.02 Expenses shall not include: the cost of capital improvements (except as set forth above);
depreciation; principal payments of mortgage and other non-operating debts of Landlord; the
cost of repairs or other work to the extent Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or condemnation
proceeds; costs in connection with leasing space in the Building, including brokerage commissions; lease concessions, rental abatements and construction allowances granted to specific tenants;
brochures and marketing supplies, legal fees in negotiating and preparing lease document; costs incurred in
connection with the sale, financing or refinancing of the Building; fines, interest and penalties
incurred due to the late payment of Taxes or Expenses; organizational expenses associated with the creation and
operation of the entity which constitutes Landlord; or any penalties or damages that Landlord pays to
Tenant under this Lease or to other tenants in the Building under their respective leases.



     The following items are also excluded from Expenses:




	 	(a)	 	Sums (other than management fees, it being agreed that the management fees
included in Expenses are as described in Section 2.01(b) above) paid to subsidiaries or
other affiliates of Landlord for services on or to the Property, Building and/or
Premises, but only to the extent that the costs of such services exceed the competitive
cost for such services rendered by persons or entities of similar skill, competence and
experience.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any fines, penalties or interest resulting from the negligence or willful
misconduct of the Landlord or its agents, contractors, or employees.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Advertising and promotional expenditures.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Landlord’s charitable and political contributions.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Ground lease rental.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred in connection with negotiations or
disputes with prospective tenants or tenants or other occupants of the Building.
	 
	 	(g)	 	The cost or expense of any services or benefits provided generally to other
tenants in the Building and not provided or available to Tenant.
	 
	 	(h)	 	All costs of purchasing or leasing major sculptures, paintings or other major
works or objects of art (as opposed to decorations purchased or leased by Landlord for display
in the Common Areas of the Building).
	 
	 	(i)	 	Any expenses for which Landlord has received actual reimbursement (other than
through Expenses).
	 
	 	(j)	 	Expenses for the replacement of any item covered under warranty, unless Landlord
has not received payment under such warranty and it would not be fiscally prudent to
pursue legal action to collect on such warranty.
	 
	 	(k)	 	Fines or penalties incurred as a result of violation by Landlord of any applicable Laws.





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



     3. “Taxes” shall mean: (a) all real property taxes and other assessments on the Building and/or
Property, including, but not limited to, gross receipts taxes, assessments for special improvement
districts and building improvement districts, governmental charges, fees and assessments for
police, fire, traffic mitigation or other governmental service of purported benefit to the
Property, taxes and assessments levied in substitution or supplementation in whole or in part of
any such taxes and assessments and the Property’s share of any real estate taxes and assessments
under any reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or similar agreement as to the
Property; (b) all personal property taxes for property that is owned by Landlord and used in
connection with the operation,



{QuinStreet, Inc. -6-00004264.}

May 30, 2003

Matter ID Number: 7329

maintenance and repair of the Property; and (c) all costs and fees incurred in connection with
seeking reductions in any tax liabilities described in (a) and (b), including, without limitation,
any costs incurred by Landlord for compliance, review and appeal of tax liabilities. Without
limitation, Taxes shall not include any income, capital levy, transfer, capital stock, gift, estate
or inheritance tax. If a change in Taxes is obtained for any year of the Term during which Tenant
paid Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any Tax Excess, then Taxes for that year will be retroactively
adjusted and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit, if any, based on the adjustment.
Likewise, if a change is obtained for Taxes for the Base Year, Taxes for the Base Year shall be
restated and the Tax Excess for all subsequent years shall be recomputed. Tenant shall pay Landlord
the amount of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any such increase in the Tax Excess within 30 days after
Tenant’s receipt of a statement from Landlord.



4. Audit Rights. Tenant, within 365 days after receiving Landlord’s statement of Expenses, may give
Landlord written notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to review Landlord’s records of the
Expenses for the calendar year to which the statement applies. Within a reasonable time after
receipt of the Review Notice (not to exceed 30 days), Landlord shall make all pertinent records
available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If any
records are maintained at a location other than the management office for the Building, Tenant may
either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and
shipping the records. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent must be
with a CPA firm licensed to do business in the state or commonwealth where the Property is located.
Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit.
However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the
Building for the year in question were less than stated by more than 5%, Landlord, within 30 days
after its receipt of paid invoices therefor from Tenant, shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable
amounts paid by Tenant to third parties in connection with such review by Tenant. Within 90 days
after the records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord
written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord’s
statement of Expenses for that year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice within
the 90 day period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the 365 day period
described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord’s statement of Expenses and shall
be barred from raising any claims regarding the Expenses for that year. The records obtained by
Tenant shall be treated as confidential. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine
Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Expenses unless Tenant has paid and continues to
pay all Rent when due.

          This work letter (“Work Letter”) is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between
CA-PARKSIDE TOWERS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”) and QUINSTREET,
INC., a California corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 1051 East Hillsdale
Boulevard, Foster City, California.



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





	1.	 	Landlord shall perform improvements to the Premises in accordance with the plans prepared by
API Design, Inc. dated May 28, 2003 (the “Plans”), which are attached hereto as Exhibit C-1.
The improvements to be performed by Landlord in accordance with the Plans are hereinafter
referred to as the “Landlord Work.” It is agreed that construction of the Landlord Work will
be completed at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (subject to the terms of Section 2 below)
using Building standard methods, materials and finishes, which standards are attached hereto
as Exhibit C-2. If any finishes or materials specified in the Landlord Work are or become
unavailable or have long lead times that would delay Landlord’s completion of the Landlord
Work, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to select alternative finishes or
materials to allow Landlord to complete the Landlord Work in a timely manner. Landlord shall
enter into a direct contract for the Landlord Work with Venture Builders as general
contractor. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to select and/or approve of any
subcontractors used in connection with the Landlord Work. Landlord’s supervision or
performance of any work for or on behalf of Tenant shall not be deemed a representation by
Landlord that such Plans or the revisions thereto comply with applicable insurance
requirements, building codes, ordinances, laws or regulations, or that the improvements
constructed in accordance with the Plans and any revisions thereto will be adequate for
Tenant’s use, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design
of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of
design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the premises and the
placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment).






	2.	 	If Tenant shall request any revisions to the Plans, Landlord shall have such revisions
prepared at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of
preparing any such revisions to the Plans, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon,
upon demand. Promptly upon completion of the revisions, Landlord shall notify Tenant in
writing of the increased cost in the Landlord Work, if any, resulting from such revisions to
the Plans. Tenant, within one Business Day, shall notify Landlord in writing whether it
desires to proceed with such revisions. In the absence of such written authorization, Landlord
shall have the option to continue work on the Premises disregarding the requested revision.
Tenant shall be responsible for any Tenant Delay in completion of the Premises resulting from
any revision to the Plans. . If such revisions result in an increase in the cost of Landlord
Work, such increased costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, shall be
payable by Tenant upon demand. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all revisions
to the Plans shall be subject to the approval of Landlord.






	3.	 	In addition to the Landlord Work, Landlord shall construct a shower facility on the
5th floor of the East Tower, as more fully described in those certain Plans
prepared by API Design, Inc. dated May 13, 2003 (the “Shower Facility”) at Landlord’s sole cost and expense
using Building Standard methods, materials and finishes. Landlord shall enter into a direct
contract for the Landlord Work with Venture Builders as general contractor. In addition,
Landlord shall have the right to select and/or approve of any subcontractors used in
connection with the Landlord Work. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to complete the
Shower Facility by November 1, 2003, but any delay in the completion of the Shower Facility
or inconvenience suffered by Tenant during the construction of the Shower Facility shall not
delay the Commencement Date nor shall it subject Landlord to any liability for any loss or
damage resulting therefrom or entitle Tenant to any credit, abatement or adjustment of Rent
or other sums payable under the Lease.






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

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS




     This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between CA-PARKSIDE TOWERS
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Landlord”) and QUINSTREET, INC., a California
corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 1051 East Hillsdale Boulevard, Foster
City, California.




	1.	 	Renewal Option.






	 	A.	 	Grant of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have the right to extend the
Term (the
“Renewal Option”) for one additional period of five (5) years commencing on the day
following the Termination Date of the initial Term and ending on the fifth anniversary
of the Termination Date (the “Renewal Term”), if:






	 	1.	 	Landlord receives notice of exercise (“Initial Renewal Notice”) not
less than 9 full calendar months prior to the expiration of the initial Term and
not more than 12 full calendar months prior to the expiration of the initial
Term; and
	 
	 	2.	 	Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure
periods at the time that Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or at the
time Tenant delivers its Binding Notice (as defined below); and
	 
	 	3.	 	No part of the Premises is sublet (other than pursuant to a
Permitted Transfer, as defined in Section 11 of the Lease) at the time that
Tenant delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or at the time Tenant delivers its
Binding Notice; and
	 
	 	4.	 	The Lease has not been assigned (other than pursuant to a Permitted
Transfer, as defined in Section 11 of the Lease) prior to the date that Tenant
delivers its Initial Renewal Notice or prior to the date Tenant delivers its
Binding Notice.






	 	B.	 	Terms Applicable to Premises During Renewal Term.






	 	1.	 	The initial Base Rent rate per rentable square foot for the
Premises during the Renewal Term shall equal 95% of the Prevailing Market rate
(hereinafter defined) per rentable square foot for the Premises. Base Rent during
the Renewal Term shall increase, if at all, in accordance with the increases
assumed in the determination of Prevailing Market rate. Base Rent attributable to
the Premises shall be payable in monthly installments in accordance with the
terms and conditions of Section 4 of the Lease.
	 
	 	2.	 	Tenant shall pay Additional Rent (i.e. Taxes and Expenses) for the
Premises during the Renewal Term In accordance with the terms of Section 4 of the
Lease, and the manner and method in which Tenant reimburses Landlord for Tenant’s
share of Taxes and Expenses and the Base Year applicable to such matter, shall be
some of the factors considered in determining the Prevailing Market rate for the
Renewal Term.






	 	C.	 	Initial Procedure for Determining Prevailing Market. Within 30 days after
receipt of
Tenant’s Initial Renewal Notice, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the applicable Base
Rent
rate for the Premises for the Renewal Term. Tenant, within 30 days after the date on
which Landlord advises Tenant of the applicable Base Rent rate for the Renewal Term,
shall either (i) give Landlord final binding written notice (“Binding Notice”) of
Tenant’s
exercise of its Renewal Option, or (ii) if Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s
determination,
provide Landlord with written notice of rejection (the
“Rejection Notice”). If Tenant
fails
to provide Landlord with either a Binding Notice or Rejection Notice within such 30 day
period, Tenant’s Renewal Option shall be null and void and of no further force and
effect.
If Tenant provides Landlord with a Binding Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into
the Renewal Amendment (as defined below) upon the terms and conditions set forth
herein. If Tenant provides Landlord with a Rejection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall
work together in good faith to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises
during the Renewal Term. Upon agreement, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into the
Renewal Amendment in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon the Prevailing
Market rate within 30 days after the date Tenant provides Landlord with the Rejection
Notice, Tenant, by written notice to Landlord (the “Arbitration Notice”) within 5 days
after
the expiration of such 30 day period, shall have the right to have the Prevailing
Market
rate determined in accordance with the arbitration procedures described in Section D

below. If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon the Prevailing Market rate within the
30 day period described and Tenant fails to timely exercise its right to arbitrate,
Tenant’s Renewal Option shall be deemed to be null and void and of no further force
and effect.




	 	D.	 	Arbitration Procedure.






	 	1.	 	If Tenant provides Landlord with an Arbitration Notice, Landlord
and Tenant, within
5 days after the date of the Arbitration Notice, shall each simultaneously
submit to
the other, in a sealed envelope, its good faith estimate of the Prevailing
Market
rate for the Premises during the Renewal Term (collectively referred to as the
“Estimates”). If the higher of such Estimates is not more than 105% of the lower
of such Estimates, then Prevailing Market rate shall be the average of the two
Estimates. If the Prevailing Market rate is not resolved by the exchange of
Estimates, then, within 7 days after the exchange of Estimates, Landlord and
Tenant shall each select an appraiser to determine which of the two Estimates
most closely reflects the Prevailing Market rate for the Premises during the
Renewal Term. Each appraiser so selected shall be certified as an MAI appraiser
or as an ASA appraiser and shall have had at least 5 years experience within the
previous 10 years as a real estate appraiser working in the Foster City/San
Mateo
area with working knowledge of current rental rates and practices. For purposes
hereof, an “MAI” appraiser means an individual who holds an MAI designation
conferred by, and is an independent member of, the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers (or its successor organization, or in the event there is no
successor organization, the organization and designation most similar), and an
“ASA” appraiser means an individual who holds the Senior Member designation
conferred by, and is an independent member of, the American Society of
Appraisers (or its successor organization, or, in the event there is no
successor
organization, the organization and designation most similar).
	 
	 	2.	 	Upon selection, Landlord’s and Tenant’s appraisers shall work
together in good
faith to agree upon which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the
Prevailing
Market rate for the Premises. The Estimate chosen by such appraisers shall be
binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent rate for the Premises
during the Renewal Term, subject to the terms of Section D.4 below regarding the
Minimum Renewal Base Rent, as defined therein. If either Landlord or Tenant
fails to appoint an appraiser within the 7 day period referred to above, the
appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the sole appraiser for the
purposes
hereof. If the two appraisers cannot agree upon which of the two Estimates most
closely reflects the Prevailing Market within 20 days after their appointment,
then,
within 10 days after the expiration of such 20 day period, the two appraisers
shall
select a third appraiser meeting the aforementioned criteria. Once the third
appraiser (i.e. arbitrator) has been selected as provided for above, then, as
soon
thereafter as practicable but in any case within 14 days, the arbitrator shall
make
his determination of which of the two Estimates most closely reflects the
Prevailing
Market rate and such Estimate shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as
the Base Rent rate for the Premises, subject to the terms of Section D.4 below
regarding the Minimum Renewal Base Rent, as defined therein. If the arbitrator
believes that expert advice would materially assist him, he may retain one or
more
qualified persons to provide such expert advice. The parties shall share equally
in
the costs of the arbitrator and of any experts retained by the arbitrator. Any
fees
of any appraiser, counsel or experts engaged directly by Landlord or Tenant,
however, shall be borne by the party retaining such appraiser, counsel or
expert.
	 
	 	3.	 	If the Prevailing Market rate has not been determined by the
commencement date
of the Renewal Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent upon the terms and conditions
in effect during the last month of the initial Term for the Premises until such
time
as the Prevailing Market rate has been determined. Upon such
determination, the
Base Rent for the Premises shall be retroactively adjusted to the commencement
of the Renewal Term for the Premises. If such adjustment results in an
underpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of
such underpayment within 30 days after the determination thereof. If such
adjustment results in an overpayment of Base Rent by Tenant, Landlord shall
credit such overpayment against the next installment of Base Rent due under the
Lease and, to the extent necessary, any subsequent installments, until the
entire
amount of such overpayment has been credited against Base Rent.






	 	E.	 	Renewal Amendment. If Tenant is entitled to and properly exercises its
Renewal Option,
Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “Renewal Amendment”) to reflect changes in
the Base Rent, Term, Termination Date and other appropriate terms. The Renewal

	 	 	 	Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after receipt of the
Binding Notice and Tenant shall execute and return the Renewal Amendment to Landlord
within 15 days after Tenant’s receipt of same, but, upon final determination of the
Prevailing Market rate applicable during the Renewal Term as described herein, an
otherwise valid exercise of the Renewal Option shall be fully effective whether or not
the Renewal Amendment is executed.
	 
	 	F.	 	Prevailing Market. For purposes hereof, “Prevailing Market” shall mean
the arms length fair market annual rental rate per rentable square foot under renewal
leases and amendments entered into on or about the date on which the Prevailing Market
is being determined hereunder for space comparable to the Premises in the Building and
office buildings comparable to the Building in the Foster City/San Mateo area. The
determination of Prevailing Market shall take into account any material economic
differences between the terms of this Lease and any comparison lease or amendment, such
as rent abatements, construction costs and other concessions and the manner, if any, in
which the landlord under any such lease is reimbursed for operating expenses and taxes.






	2.	 	Right of First Refusal.






	 	A.	 	Grant of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have an ongoing right of first
refusal (the
“Right of First Refusal”) with respect to the approximately 36,885 rentable square feet
of
space consisting of the 7th floor of the East Tower Building, shown on the
demising plan
attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 (the “Refusal
Space”). Tenant’s Right of First Refusal
shall be exercised as follows: when Landlord has a prospective tenant, other than the
then-existing tenant in the applicable portion of the Refusal Space, (the “Prospect”)
interested in leasing all or a portion of the Refusal Space, Landlord shall advise
Tenant
(the “Advice”) of the terms under which Landlord is prepared to lease such portion of
the
Refusal Space to such Prospect and Tenant may lease such portion of the Refusal
Space, under such terms, by providing Landlord with written notice of exercise (the
“Notice of Exercise”) within 5 Business Days after the date of the Advice, except that
Tenant shall have no such Right of First Refusal and Landlord need not provide Tenant
with an Advice if:






	 	1.	 	Tenant is in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure
periods at the time that Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or
	 
	 	2.	 	the Premises, or any portion thereof, is sublet (other than pursuant
to a Permitted Transfer, as defined in Section 11 of the Lease) at the time
Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or
	 
	 	3.	 	the Lease has been assigned (other than pursuant to a Permitted
Transfer, as defined in Section 11 of the Lease) prior to the date Landlord would
otherwise deliver the Advice; or
	 
	 	4.	 	the Refusal Space is not intended for the exclusive use of Tenant or
the transferee of a Permitted Transfer during the Term; or
	 
	 	5.	 	the Tenant or the transferee of a Permitted Transfer is not occupying
the Premises on the date Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice.






	 	 	 	Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord shall not deliver
an Advice to Tenant prior to the earlier of the following: (1) the date that is 30
months after the Commencement Date, or (2) the first date by which at least 50% of the
Building is leased, it being understood that Landlord will not lease any portion of the
Refusal Space to a third party prior to the earlier of such dates.






	 	B.	 	Terms for Refusal Space.






	 	1.	 	The term for the Refusal Space shall commence upon the commencement
date stated in the Advice and thereupon such Refusal Space shall be considered a
part of the Premises, provided that all of the terms stated in the Advice,
including the termination date set forth in the Advice, shall govern Tenant’s
leasing of the Refusal Space and only to the extent that they do not conflict
with the Advice, the terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply to the Refusal
Space. Tenant shall pay Base Rent and Additional Rent for the Refusal Space in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Advice.

	 	2.	 	The Refusal Space (including improvements and personalty, if any)
shall be accepted by Tenant in its condition and as-built configuration existing
on the earlier of the date Tenant takes possession of the Refusal Space or the
date the term for such Refusal Space commences, unless the Advice specifies work
to be performed by Landlord in the Refusal Space, in which case Landlord shall
perform such work in the Refusal Space. If Landlord is delayed delivering
possession of the Refusal Space due to the holdover or unlawful possession of such
space by any party, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain possession of
the space, and the commencement of the term for the Refusal Space shall be
postponed until the date Landlord delivers possession of the Refusal Space to
Tenant free from occupancy by any party.






	 	C.	 	Termination of Right of First Refusal. The rights of Tenant hereunder
with respect to the
Refusal Space shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) the original Termination
Date
under this Lease (not including the Renewal Term, if any), (ii) with respect to any
particular Advice, Tenant’s failure to exercise its Right of First Refusal within the 5
Business Day period provided in Section A above; and (iii) with respect to any
particular
Advice, the date Landlord would have provided Tenant such Advice if Tenant had not
been in violation of one or more of the conditions set forth in Section A above.
	 
	 	D.	 	Refusal Space Amendment. If Tenant exercises its Right of First Refusal,
Landlord shall
prepare an amendment (the “Refusal Space Amendment”) adding the Refusal Space to
the Premises on the terms set forth in the Advice and reflecting the changes in the
Base
Rent, Rentable Square Footage of the Premises, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share and other
appropriate terms. A copy of the Refusal Space Amendment shall be sent to Tenant
within a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise executed by
Tenant, and Tenant shall execute and return the Refusal Space Amendment to Landlord
within 15 days thereafter, but an otherwise valid exercise of the Right of First
Refusal
shall be fully effective whether or not the Refusal Space Amendment is executed.






	3.	 	Shower Facility. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3 of Exhibit F, following the
completion of construction of the Shower Facility (as defined in the Work Letter) by Landlord,
so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to the
non-exclusive use of the Shower Facility. The use of the Shower Facility shall be subject to
the reasonable rules and regulations (including rules regarding hours of use) established from
time to time by Landlord for the Shower Facility. The costs of operating, maintaining and
repairing the Shower Facility may be included as part of Expenses. Tenant acknowledges that
the provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to be a representation by Landlord that
Landlord shall continuously maintain the Shower Facility in its original configuration
throughout the Term, and Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord’s sole discretion, to
expand, contract or otherwise modify the Shower Facility, so long as the benefits to Tenant in
connection therewith are not materially reduced. Tenant hereby voluntarily releases,
discharges, waives and relinquishes any and all actions or causes of action for personal
injury or property damage occurring to Tenant or its employees or agents arising as a result
of the use of the Shower Facility, or any activities incidental thereto, wherever or however
the same may occur, and further agrees that Tenant will not prosecute any claim for personal
injury or property damage against Landlord or any of its officers, agents, servants or
employees for any said causes of action, except to the extent arising out of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. It is the intention of Tenant with respect to
the Shower Facility to exempt and relieve Landlord from liability for personal injury or
property damage caused by negligence.
	 
	4.	 	Temporary Fitness Center Use. During the period starting with the Commencement Date and
ending on the date on which Landlord first offers Tenant an Advice with respect to all or any
portion of the Refusal Space in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 2 of this Exhibit
F, Tenant may have access to up to 5,000 rentable square feet in a location designated by
Landlord on the 7th floor of the Building (the “Fitness Center Space”) for the
placing of exercise equipment and use as a fitness center by Tenant’s employees only, all at
Tenant’s sole risk and Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant’s use of the Fitness Center
Space shall be subject to Landlord’ reasonable prior approval of the nature of the equipment
to be installed by Tenant and the use thereof, and shall be subject to all the terms and
conditions of the Lease (and the Fitness Center Space shall be considered part of the Premises
for purposes of Tenant’s insurance and indemnification obligations under the Lease), except
that Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent in connection with such
use. Landlord may deny or withdraw such permission to enter or use the Fitness Center Space
prior to the first Advice at any time that Landlord reasonably determines that such entry by
Tenant is causing a dangerous situation for Landlord, Tenant or their respective contractors
or employees.

EXHIBIT G




PARKING AGREEMENT




     This Exhibit (the “Parking Agreement”) is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and
between CA- PARKSIDE TOWERS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware
limited partnership (“Landlord”) and
QUINSTREET, INC., a California corporation (“Tenant”) for space in the Building located at 1051
East Hillsdale Boulevard, Foster City, California.




	1.	 	The capitalized terms used in this Parking Agreement shall have the same definitions as set
forth in the Lease to the extent that such capitalized terms are defined therein and not
redefined in this Parking Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the Lease and this
Parking Agreement, the latter shall control.
	 
	2.	 	During the initial Term, Tenant agrees to lease from Landlord and Landlord agrees to lease to
Tenant a total of 128 non-reserved parking spaces in the parking facility servicing the
Building (“Parking Facility”). During the initial Term, the charge for such 128 non-reserved
parking spaces shall be $0.00 per non-reserved parking pass, per month. Tenant may, from time
to time request additional parking spaces, and if Landlord shall provide the same, such
parking spaces shall be provided and used on a month-to-month basis, and otherwise on the
foregoing terms and provisions, and at such prevailing monthly parking charges as shall be
established from time to time, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to use such additional
parking spaces at no additional charge so long as such additional spaces are available in the
Parking Facility and Tenant’s use of such additional parking spaces does not interfere with
the rights of the employees and invitees of other tenants of the Building to use the Parking
Facility, as reasonably determined by Landlord. No deductions from the monthly charge, if
any, shall be made for days on which the Parking Facility is not used by Tenant.
	 
	3.	 	Tenant shall at all times comply with all applicable ordinances, rules, regulations, codes,
laws, statutes and requirements of all federal, state, county and municipal governmental
bodies or their subdivisions respecting the use of the Parking Facility. Landlord reserves the
right to adopt, modify and enforce reasonable rules (“Rules”) governing the use of the Parking
Facility from time to time including any key-card, sticker or other identification or entrance
system and hours of operation. The Rules set forth herein are currently in effect. Landlord
may refuse to permit any person who violates such Rules to park in the Parking Facility, and
any violation of the Rules shall subject the car to removal from the Parking Facility.
	 
	4.	 	Unless specified to the contrary above, the parking spaces hereunder shall be provided on a
non-designated “first-come, first-served” basis. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has no
liability for claims arising through acts or omissions of any independent operator of the
Parking Facility. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever for any damage to items located
in the Parking Facility, nor for any personal injuries or death arising out of any matter
relating to the Parking Facility, and in all events, Tenant agrees to look first to its
insurance carrier and to require that Tenant’s employees look first to their respective
insurance carriers for payment of any losses sustained in connection with any use of the
Parking Facility. Tenant hereby waives on behalf of its insurance carriers all rights of
subrogation against Landlord or Landlord’s agents. Landlord reserves the right to assign
specific parking spaces, and to reserve parking spaces for visitors, small cars, handicapped
persons and for other tenants, guests of tenants or other parties, which assignment and
reservation or spaces may be relocated as determined by Landlord from time to time, and Tenant
and persons designated by Tenant hereunder shall not park in any location designated for such
assigned or reserved parking spaces. Tenant acknowledges that the Parking Facility may be
closed entirely or in part in order to make repairs or perform maintenance services, or to
alter, modify, re-stripe or renovate the Parking Facility, or if required by casualty,
strike, condemnation, act of God, governmental law or requirement or other reason beyond the
operator’s reasonable control. In such event, Landlord shall refund any prepaid parking fee
hereunder, prorated on a per diem basis.
	 
	5.	 	If Tenant shall default under this Parking Agreement, the operator shall have the right to
remove from the Parking Facility any vehicles hereunder which shall have been involved or
shall have been owned or driven by parties involved in causing such default, without liability
therefor whatsoever. In addition, if Tenant shall default under this Parking Agreement,
Landlord shall have the right to cancel this Parking Agreement on 30 days’ written notice,
unless within such 30 day period, Tenant cures such default. If Tenant defaults with respect
to the same term or condition under this Parking Agreement more than 3 times during any 12
month period, and Landlord notifies Tenant thereof promptly after each such default, the next
default of such term or condition during the succeeding 12 month period, shall, at Landlord’s
election, constitute an incurable default. Such cancellation right shall be cumulative and
in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Landlord at law or equity, or
provided under the Lease (all of which rights and remedies under the Lease are hereby
incorporated herein, as though fully set forth). Any default by Tenant under the Lease shall
be a default under this Parking Agreement.

FIRST AMENDMENT




     THIS
FIRST AMENDMENT (the “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of June 24th, 2004,
by and between CA-PARKSIDE TOWERS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited
partnership (“Landlord”) and QU1NSTREET, INC., a
California corporation (“Tenant”).



RECITALS





	A.	 	Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain lease dated
June 2, 2003 (the “Lease”).
Pursuant to the Lease, Landlord has leased to Tenant space currently containing approximately
35,435 rentable square feet (the “Original Premises”) described as Suite No. 800 on the
8th floor of the building commonly known as Parkside Tower East located at 1051 E.
Hillsdale Drive, Foster City, California (defined in Section 1.01 of the Lease as the “East
Tower”), which is a portion of the “Building” defined in Section 1.01 of the Lease.
	 
	B.	 	Tenant has requested that additional space containing approximately 18,442 rentable square
feet described as Suite No. 700 on the 7th floor of the Building shown on Exhibit A
hereto (the “Expansion Space”) be added to the Original Premises and that the Lease be
appropriately amended and Landlord is willing to do the same on the following terms and
conditions.





     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals which by this reference are
incorporated herein, the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein and other valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant
agree as follows:




	1.	 	Expansion and Effective Date. Effective as of the Expansion Effective Date (defined
below), the Premises, as defined in the Lease, is increased from 35,435 rentable square feet
on the 8th floor to 53,877 rentable square feet on the 7th and
8th floors by the addition of the Expansion Space, and from and after the
Expansion Effective Date, the Original Premises and the Expansion Space, collectively, shall
be deemed the Premises, as defined in the Lease. The Term for the Expansion Space shall
commence on the Expansion Effective Date and end on the Termination Date. The Expansion Space
is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Lease except as expressly modified herein
and except that Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any allowances, abatements or other
financial concessions granted with respect to the Original Premises unless such concessions
are expressly provided for herein with respect to the Expansion Space.






	 	1.01.	 	The “Expansion Effective Date” shall be the later to occur of (i) November
15, 2004 (“Target Expansion Effective Date”), and
(ii) the date upon which the
Expansion Space Landlord Work (as defined in the Expansion Space Work Letter attached
as Exhibit B hereto) in the Expansion Space has been Substantially Completed; provided,
however, that if Landlord is delayed in the performance of the Expansion Space
Landlord Work as a result of the acts or omissions of Tenant, the Tenant Related
Parties (defined in Section 13 of the Lease) or their respective contractors or
vendors, including, without limitation, changes requested by Tenant to the Expansion
Space Plans or other approved plans, Tenant’s failure to comply with any of its
obligations under the Lease or this Amendment or the Expansion Space Work Letter, or
the specification of any materials or equipment with long lead times (a “Tenant
Delay”), the Expansion Space Landlord Work shall be deemed to be Substantially
Complete on the date that Landlord could reasonably have been expected to
Substantially Complete the Expansion Space Landlord Work absent any Tenant Delay.
	 
	 	 	 	The Expansion Space Landlord Work shall be deemed to be “Substantially Complete” on
the later of (a) the date that all Expansion Space Landlord Work has been
performed, other than any details of construction, mechanical adjustment or any
other similar matter, the non-completion of which does not materially interfere
with Tenant’s use of the Expansion Space, in a good and workmanlike manner and in
compliance with the Expansion Space Plans (as defined in the Expansion Space Work
Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B) and subject to any revisions to the Expansion
Space Plans approved by Landlord and

	 	 	 	Tenant in accordance with the Expansion Space Work Letter), and (b) the date
Landlord receives from the appropriate governmental authorities all approvals
necessary for the occupancy of the Expansion Space.
	 
	 	1.02.	 	The adjustment of the Expansion Effective Date and,
accordingly, the postponement of Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent on the Expansion
Space shall be Tenant’s sole remedy and shall constitute full settlement of all claims
that Tenant might otherwise have against Landlord by reason of the Expansion Space not
being ready for occupancy by Tenant on the Target Expansion Effective Date. If the
Expansion Effective Date is delayed pursuant to the foregoing, the Termination Date
under the Lease shall not be similarly extended.
	 
	 	1.03.	 	In addition to the postponement, if any, of the Expansion Effective Date as a
result of the applicability of Section 1.01. of this Amendment, the Expansion
Effective Date shall be delayed to the extent that Landlord fails to deliver
possession of the Expansion Space on the Expansion Effective Date for any other reason
(other than Tenant Delays by Tenant), including but not limited to, holding over by
prior occupants. Any such delay in the Expansion Effective Date shall not subject
Landlord to any liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom. If the
Expansion Effective Date is delayed pursuant to the foregoing, the Termination Date
under the Lease shall not be similarly extended.






	2.	 	Base Rent. In addition to Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent for the
Original Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord Base Rent for the Expansion Space as follows:





	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Annual Rate Per	 	 
	Months of Term or Period	 	Square Foot	 	Monthly Base Rent
	November 15, 2004 – October 31, 2005
	 	$	24.60	 	 	$	37,806.10	 
	November 1, 2005 – October 31, 2006
	 	$	26.40	 	 	$	40,572.40	 
	November 1, 2006 – October 31, 2007
	 	$	27.60	 	 	$	42,416.60

	 	$	30.00	 	 	$	46,105.00	 







	 	 	All such Base Rent shall be payable by Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Lease, as
amended hereby.
	 
	 	 	Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the foregoing schedule is based on the assumption that
the Expansion Effective Date is the Target Expansion Effective Date. If the Expansion
Effective Date is other than the Target Expansion Effective Date, the schedule set forth
above with respect to the payment of any installment(s) of Base Rent for the Expansion
Space shall be appropriately adjusted on a per diem basis to reflect the actual Expansion
Effective Date, and the actual Expansion Effective Date shall be set forth in a
confirmation letter to be prepared by Landlord. However, the effective date of any
increases or decreases in the Base Rent rate shall not be postponed as a result of an
adjustment of the Expansion Effective Date as provided above.
	 
	3.	 	Security Deposit. No Security Deposit shall be required in connection with this
Amendment. The definition of Security Deposit set forth in Section 1.08 of the Lease is
hereby deleted and replaced with “None”. The first sentence of Article V of the Lease is
hereby amended to include the clause, “ if any,” after the words “Security Deposit” in the
first sentence. The provisions of Section 8.09 below shall apply to Tenant’s Letter of
Credit obligations under the Lease, as amended hereby.
	 
	4.	 	Tenant’s Pro Rata Share. For the period commencing with the Expansion Effective Date
and ending on the Termination Date, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share for the Expansion Space is
4.6283%.
	 
	5.	 	Expenses and Taxes. For the period commencing with the Expansion Effective Date and
ending on the Termination Date, Tenant shall pay for Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and
Taxes applicable to the Expansion Space in accordance with the terms of the Lease, as amended
hereby.
	 
	6.	 	Improvements to Expansion Space.






	 	6.01.	 	Condition of Expansion Space. Tenant has inspected the Expansion Space and
agrees to accept the same “as is” without any agreements, representations,
understandings or obligations on the part of Landlord to perform any alterations,

	 	 	 	repairs or improvements, except as may be expressly provided otherwise in this
Amendment or in the Expansion Space Work Letter attached hereto as
Exhibit B.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent caused by Tenant or any Tenant
Related Party (as defined in Section 13 of the Lease), as of the Expansion
Effective Date, the electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning,
mechanical and plumbing systems serving the Expansion Space shall be in good order
and satisfactory condition and in compliance with applicable Laws (as defined in
Section 5 of the Lease). If the foregoing are not in good working order or
compliance as provided above, Landlord shall be responsible for repairing or
restoring same, or correcting such violations, at its cost and expense, provided
that the foregoing shall not prohibit Landlord from including the cost of routine
maintenance and repair of such systems in Expenses as otherwise permitted under
Section 4.02 of the Lease.






	 	6.02.	 	Responsibility for Improvements to Expansion Space. Landlord shall perform
improvements to the Expansion Space in accordance with the Expansion Space Work Letter
attached hereto as Exhibit B.






	7.	 	Early Access to Expansion Space; Beneficial Occupancy. Landlord grants Tenant the
right to enter the Expansion Space, at Tenant’s sole risk, thirty (30) days prior to
Landlord’s then reasonable estimate of the Expansion Effective Date, for the purpose of
installing telecommunications and data cabling, fiber optic links, equipment, furnishings and
other personalty, and for conducting business operations in the Premises. Such access shall
be subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby, but Tenant shall not
be required to pay Rent (defined in Section 4.01 of the Lease) to Landlord during such period
of early access before the Expansion Effective Date. However, Tenant shall be responsible for
the reasonable cost of services requested by Tenant (e.g. freight elevator usage of
after-hours HVAC) during such period. Landlord may withdraw or limit such permission to
enter the Expansion Space prior to the Expansion Effective Date at any time that Landlord
reasonably determines that such entry by Tenant is causing a dangerous situation for Landlord,
Tenant or their respective contractors or employees, or if Landlord reasonably determines that
such entry by Tenant is hampering or otherwise preventing Landlord from proceeding with the
completion of the Expansion Space Landlord Work at the earliest possible date.
	 
	 	 	In addition to the foregoing, if the Expansion Space Landlord Work is Substantially
Complete prior to the Target Expansion Effective Date, subject to the terms of this Section
7.01, Tenant may take possession of and occupy the Expansion Space for the Permitted Use
and may conduct business operations therein following the date of Substantial Completion of
the Expansion Space Landlord Work and prior to the Expansion Effective Date, which
occupancy shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby, but
Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent (defined in Section 4.01 of the Lease) to Landlord
during such period of early occupancy before the Expansion Effective Date. However, Tenant
shall be responsible for the reasonable cost of services requested by Tenant (e.g. freight
elevator usage of after-hours HVAC) during such period.
	 
	8.	 	Other Pertinent Provisions. Landlord and Tenant agree that, effective as of the date
of this Amendment (unless different effective date(s) is/are specifically referenced in this
Section), the Lease shall be amended in the following additional respects:






	 	8.01	 	Renewal Option. Tenant’s Renewal Option set forth in Section 1 of Exhibit F of
the Lease shall apply to the entire Premises (Original Premises and Expansion Space)
only, and the Renewal Term may be subject to reduction pursuant to Section 8.02 below.
	 
	 	8.02	 	One-Year Extension Option. Tenant shall have the One-Year Extension Option set
forth below, which Tenant may, at Tenant’s option, exercise in lieu of one year of the
term of Tenant’s Renewal Option. Upon Tenant’s delivery of an Initial Renewal Notice
under the Renewal Option, Tenant’s One-Year Extension Option automatically shall be of
no further force and effect, and alternatively, upon Tenant’s delivery of a One-Year
Renewal Notice, Tenant’s Renewal Option shall automatically be reduced to a 4-year
renewal option commencing at the conclusion of Tenant’s One-Year Extension Term and the
notice period for the Renewal Option set forth in Section 1.A.1 of Exhibit F of the Lease
shall be calculated from the expiration of the One-Year Extension Term rather than from
the expiration of the initial Term.

	 	A.	 	Grant of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have the right to extend

(both the Original Premises and the Expansion Space) for one additional
period of one (1) year commencing on the day following the Termination
Date of the initial Term and ending on the first anniversary of the
Termination Date (the “One-Year Extension Term”), if:






	 	1.	 	Landlord receives notice of exercise (“One-Year
Extension
Notice”) not less than 9 full calendar months prior to the
expiration of the initial Term; and
	 
	 	2.	 	Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any

and
	 
	 	3.	 	No part of the Premises is sublet (other than pursuant to a
Permitted Transfer, as defined in Section 11 of the Lease) at the
time that Tenant delivers its One-Year Extension Notice; and
	 
	 	4.	 	The Lease has not been assigned (other than pursuant to a
Permitted Transfer, as defined in Section 11 of the Lease) prior to
the date that Tenant delivers its One-Year Extension Notice.

	 	1.	 	The Base Rent rate per rentable square foot for the
Premises
during the One-Year Extension Term shall be $2.65 per rentable

	 	2.	 	Tenant shall continue to pay Additional Rent for the
Premises
during the One-Year Extension Term in accordance with the
terms of the Lease.
	 
	 	3.	 	Tenant shall accept the Premises on an as-is basis for the
One-Year Extension Term and shall not be entitled to any allowances,
improvements or concessions in connection therewith.






	 	C.	 	One-Year Extension Amendment. If Tenant is entitled to and properly
exercises its One-Year Extension Option, Landlord shall prepare an
amendment (the “One-Year Extension Amendment”) to reflect changes
in the Base Rent, Term, Termination Date and other appropriate terms.
The One-Year Extension Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a
reasonable time after receipt of the One-Year Extension Notice and
Tenant shall execute and return the One-Year Extension Amendment to
Landlord as soon as practicable after Tenant’s receipt of same, but, upon
delivery of Tenant’s One-Year Extension Notice, an otherwise valid
exercise of the One-Year Extension Option shall be fully effective
whether or not the One-Year Extension Amendment is executed.






	 	8.03	 	7th Floor Right of First Refusal. The “Right of First Refusal” set forth in
Section 2 of Exhibit F of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, except that:






	 	A.	 	As amended hereby, such Right of First Refusal shall hereafter be referred
to as the “7th Floor Right of First Refusal”, and all references to the
“Right
of First Refusal” in Section 2 of Exhibit F of
the Lease shall refer instead to the “7th Floor Right of First Refusal”.

Refusal
shall be amended to include only the approximately 18,443 rentable square
feet that represent the portion of the Refusal Space set forth on
Exhibit F-1 to the Lease other than the Expansion Space,
and accordingly Exhibit F-1 is hereby deleted and replaced with Exhibit A-2 attached hereto. As
amended hereby, the term “Refusal Space”, as defined in Section 2 of
Exhibit F to the Lease, shall hereafter be referred to as the “7th

	 	C.	 	Section 2.C(i) of Exhibit F of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with

	 	8.04.	 	6th Floor Right of First Refusal.






	 	A.	 	Grant of Option; Conditions. In addition to the Right of First
Refusal set
forth in Section 2 of Exhibit F of the Lease, as amended in Section 8.02
below, Tenant shall have an ongoing right of first refusal (the “6th
Floor
Right of First Refusal”) with respect to the approximately 41,631
rentable square feet of space consisting of the 6th floor of the East
Tower,
shown on the demising plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 (the “6th
Floor Refusal Space”). Tenant’s 6th Floor Right of First Refusal shall
be
exercised as follows: when Landlord has a prospective tenant, other than
the then-existing tenant in the applicable portion of the 6th Floor
Refusal
Space, (the “6th Floor Prospect”) interested in leasing all or a portion
of
the 6th Floor Refusal Space, Landlord shall advise Tenant (the
“6th Floor
Advice”) of the terms under which Landlord is prepared to lease such
portion of the 6th Floor Refusal Space to such Prospect and Tenant may
lease such portion of the 6th Floor Refusal Space, under such terms, by
providing Landlord with written notice of exercise (the “6th Floor
Notice
of Exercise”) within 5 Business Days after the date of the 6th Floor
Advice, except that Tenant shall have no such 6th Floor Right of First
Refusal and Landlord need not provide Tenant with a 6th Floor Advice if:






	 	1.	 	Tenant is in default under the Lease beyond any applicable
cure
periods at the time that Landlord would otherwise deliver the
6th
Floor Advice; or
	 
	 	2.	 	the Premises, or any portion thereof, is sublet (other
than
pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, as defined in Section 11 of the
Lease) at the time Landlord would otherwise deliver the 6th
Floor
Advice; or
	 
	 	3.	 	the Lease has been assigned (other than pursuant to a
Permitted
Transfer, as defined in Section 11 of the Lease) prior to the
date Landlord would otherwise deliver the
6th Floor Advice; or
	 
	 	4.	 	the 6th Floor Refusal Space is not intended for
the exclusive use
of Tenant or the transferee of a Permitted Transfer during the Term; or
	 
	 	5.	 	the Tenant or the transferee of a Permitted Transfer is not
occupying the Premises on the date Landlord would otherwise

deliver the 6th Floor Advice.






	 	B.	 	Terms for
6th Floor Refusal Space.






	 	1.	 	The term for the 6th Floor Refusal Space shall
commence upon
the commencement date stated in the 6th Floor Advice and
thereupon such 6th Floor Refusal Space shall be considered a
part
of the Premises, provided that all of the terms stated in the
6th
Floor Advice, including the termination date set forth in the
6th
Floor Advice, shall govern Tenant’s leasing of the 6th Floor
Refusal Space and only to the extent that they do not conflict with
the 6th Floor Advice, the terms and conditions of the Lease
shall
apply to the 6th Floor Refusal Space. Tenant shall pay Base Rent
and Additional Rent for the 6th Floor Refusal Space in
accordance
with the terms and conditions of the 6th Floor Advice.
	 
	 	2.	 	The 6th Floor Refusal Space (including
improvements and
personalty, if any) shall be accepted by Tenant in its condition and
as-built configuration existing on the earlier of the date Tenant

	 	 	 	takes possession of the 6th Floor Refusal Space or the date
the term for such 6th Floor Refusal Space commences, unless
the 6th Floor Advice specifies work to be performed by
Landlord in the 6th Floor Refusal Space, in which case
Landlord shall perform such work in the 6th Floor Refusal
Space. If Landlord is delayed delivering possession of the
6th Floor Refusal Space due to the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by
any party, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain possession of
the space, and the commencement of the term for the
6th Floor
Refusal Space shall be postponed until the date Landlord delivers
possession of the 6th Floor Refusal Space to Tenant free from
occupancy by any party.






	 	C.	 	Termination of 6th Floor Right of First Refusal. The
rights of Tenant
hereunder with respect to the 6th Floor Refusal Space shall terminate
on
the earlier to occur of (i) the original Termination Date under this Lease
(not including the Renewal Term, if any), (ii) with respect to
any particular 6th Floor Advice, Tenant’s failure to exercise its 6th Floor
Right of First
Refusal within the 5 Business Day period provided in Section A above;
and (iii) with respect to any particular
6th Floor Advice, the date
Landlord
would have provided Tenant such Advice if Tenant had not been in
violation of one or more of the conditions set forth in Section A above.
	 
	 	D.	 	6th Floor Refusal Space Amendment. If Tenant exercises
its 6th Floor
Right of First Refusal, Landlord shall prepare an amendment (the “6th
Floor Refusal Space Amendment”) adding the 6th Floor Refusal Space
to the Premises on the terms set forth in the 6th Floor Advice and
reflecting the changes in the Base Rent, Rentable Square Footage of the
Premises, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share and other appropriate terms. A copy
of the 6th Floor Refusal Space Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within
a reasonable time after Landlord’s receipt of the 6th Floor Notice of
Exercise executed by Tenant, and Tenant shall execute and return the
6th
Floor Refusal Space Amendment to Landlord as soon as practicable
thereafter, but an otherwise valid exercise of the
6th Floor Right of
First
Refusal shall be fully effective whether or not the 6th Floor Refusal
Space
Amendment is executed.






	 	8.05	 	Signage.






	 	A.	 	Elevator Lobby. In Section 3 of Exhibit E (Building
Rules and
Regulations), the phrase “7th” floor and the” shall be added between
the
words “the” and “8th” in the second sentence.
	 
	 	B.	 	Monument Sign. So long as (i) Tenant is not in default under the
terms of
the Lease; (ii) Tenant is in occupancy of at least 20,000 rentable square
feet of the Premises; and (iii) Tenant has not assigned the Lease or
sublet more than 15% of the Premises to one or more non-affiliated
entities, Tenant shall have the right to have its name listed on the shared
Building monument sign located near the entrance to the East Tower (the
“Sign”). Following installation of Tenant’s name on the Sign, Tenant
shall be liable for all costs related to the maintenance and, if applicable,
illumination of the sign. In the event that additional names are listed on
the Sign, all future costs of maintenance and repair shall be prorated
between Tenant and the other parties that are listed on such Sign.
Tenant shall be solely responsible for the costs in connection with the
design, fabrication and installation of Tenant’s name on the Sign. Tenant
must obtain Landlord’s written consent to any proposed signage and
lettering prior to its fabrication and installation. Landlord reserves the
right to withhold consent to any sign that, in the sole judgment of
Landlord, is not harmonious with the design standards of the Building and
Sign or is in violation of applicable Laws. To obtain Landlord’s consent,
Tenant shall submit design drawings to Landlord showing the type and
sizes of all lettering; the colors, finishes and types of materials used; and
(if applicable and Landlord consents) any provisions for illumination. If
during the Lease Term (and any extensions thereof) (a) Tenant is in
default under the terms of the Lease after the expiration of applicable
cure periods; or (b) Tenant fails to continuously occupy at least 20,000

	 	 	 	rentable square feet of the Premises; or (c) Tenant assigns the Lease to a
non-affiliated entity or subleases more than 15% of the Premises to one or more
non-affiliated entities, then Tenant’s rights granted herein will terminate and
Landlord may remove Tenant’s name from the Sign at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.






	 	8.06.	 	Parking. Effective as of the Expansion Effective Date, Section 2 of Exhibit G
(Parking Agreement) of the Lease is hereby amended to increase Tenant’s non-reserved parking spaces from 128 to 194. Such additional spaces shall be free
of charge during the initial Term of the Lease and shall be subject to all of the
terms and conditions of the Parking Agreement. Landlord agrees that until such
time as consistent actual demand for visitor parking and/or for the retail portion
of the Building occurs such that the whole of the first floor of the parking garage
is needed for regular occupancy by retail customers and visitors to the Building’s
tenants, including Tenant, as reasonably determined by Landlord, Tenant may
use a reasonable and practical portion of its non-reserved parking spaces on the
first floor of the parking garage serving the Building.
	 
	 	8.7.	 	Landlord’s Notice Address. The Landlord’s Notice Address set forth in Section
1.12 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

good and sufficient check or by other means acceptable to Landlord.






	 	8.08	 	Temporary Fitness Facility and Access. For purposes of
Section 4 of Exhibit F of the Lease, following the date hereof, the “Fitness Center Space” shall be
relocated to an area of up to 5,000 rentable square feet designated by Landlord
within the 7th Floor Refusal Space, as defined in Section 8.03(B).
	 
	 	 	 	Solely during the period that Tenant is entitled to use the Fitness Center Space pursuant
to Section 4 of Exhibit F of the Lease, Tenant shall
have the non-exclusive license
(“License”) to use a portion of the
7th Floor Refusal Space, in a location
reasonably designated by Landlord, to the extent reasonably necessary for purposes of
ingress and egress to the Fitness Center Space and for no other purpose. Tenant’s use of
the 7th Floor Refusal Space pursuant to the License, as well as Tenant’s use of
the Fitness Center Space, shall be subject to Tenant’s insurance, indemnification and
waiver of subrogation obligations under the Lease as if the same were part of the
Premises.
	 
	 	8.09	 	Letter(s) of Credit. Landlord acknowledges that as of the date hereof Landlord is
holding a Letter of Credit in the amount of $177,175.00, pursuant to Section 6 of
the Lease (the “Original Letter of Credit”). Concurrently with Tenant’s execution
and delivery of this Amendment to Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an
additional Letter of Credit (or an amendment to the Original Letter of Credit)
meeting the requirements of this Section 8.09 for Letters of Credit and in the
amount of (or increasing the original amount by) $46,105.00, such that thereafter
Landlord is holding Letter(s) of Credit in the total amount of $223,280.00
(collectively, or as so amended, the “Increased Letter of Credit”). Effective as of
the date of Landlord’s receipt and acceptance of the Increased Letter of Credit in
accordance with the provisions hereof, the term “Letter of Credit” in the Lease shall
thereafter refer to such Increased Letter of Credit. Landlord and Tenant agree that
effective as of the date hereof, Paragraphs 2 and 3 of Section 6 of the Lease are
hereby deleted in their entirety, and the following provisions are hereby added to
the Lease as Section 5 of Exhibit F.





June 11, 2004

Matter ID Number: 13883

	 	A.	 	General Provisions. The Letter of Credit shall be held by Landlord as
collateral for the full performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under the Lease
and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer as a result of Tenant’s failure to
comply with one or more provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, any post
lease termination damages under section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code. The Letter of
Credit shall be a standby, unconditional, irrevocable, transferable letter of credit in
the form of Exhibit H of the Lease and containing the terms required herein, in the face
amount required under the Lease (the “Letter of Credit Amount”), naming Landlord as
beneficiary, issued (or confirmed) by a financial institution satisfactory to Landlord,
permitting multiple and partial draws thereon, and otherwise in form reasonably acceptable
to Landlord. Tenant shall cause the Letter of Credit to be continuously maintained in
effect (whether through replacement, renewal or extension) in the Letter of Credit Amount
through the date (the “Final LC Expiration Date”) that is 60 days after the scheduled
expiration date of the Term or any renewal or extension Term. If the Letter of Credit held
by Landlord expires earlier than the Final LC Expiration Date (whether by reason of a
stated expiration date or a notice of termination or non-renewal given by the issuing
bank), Tenant shall deliver a new Letter of Credit or certificate of renewal or extension
to Landlord not later than 60 days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit
then held by Landlord. Any renewal or replacement Letter of Credit shall comply with all
of the provisions of this Section 5 of Exhibit F, shall be irrevocable, transferable and
shall remain in effect (or be automatically renewable) through the Final LC Expiration
Date upon the same terms as the expiring Letter of Credit or such other terms as may be
acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion.
	 
	 	B.	 	Drawings under Letter of Credit. Upon Tenant’s failure to comply with
one or more provisions of the Lease beyond any applicable cure period or
as otherwise specifically agreed to by Landlord and Tenant pursuant to
the Lease or any amendment thereto, Landlord may, without prejudice to
any other remedy provided in the Lease or by law, draw on the Letter of
Credit and use all or part of the proceeds to (i) satisfy any amounts due
to Landlord from Tenant, and (ii) satisfy any other damage, injury,
expense or liability caused by Tenant’s failure to so comply. In addition, if
Tenant fails to furnish such renewal or replacement at least 60 days prior
to the stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord,
Landlord may draw upon such Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds
thereof (and such proceeds need not be segregated) in accordance with
the terms of this Section 5 of Exhibit F.
	 
	 	C.	 	Use of Proceeds by Landlord. The proceeds of the Letter of Credit
shall constitute Landlord’s sole and separate property (and not Tenant’s
property or the property of Tenant’s bankruptcy estate) and Landlord may
immediately upon any draw (and without notice to Tenant) apply or offset
the proceeds of the Letter of Credit: (i) against any Rent payable by
Tenant under the Lease that is not paid when due; (ii) against all losses
and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably
estimates that it may suffer as a result of Tenant’s failure to comply with
one or more provisions of the Lease, including any damages arising
under section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code following termination of
the Lease; (iii) against any costs incurred by Landlord in connection with
the Lease (including attorneys’ fees); and (iv) against any other amount
that Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of
Tenant’s default. Provided Tenant has performed all of its obligations
under the Lease, Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within 45 days after
the Final LC Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the Letter of
Credit received by Landlord and not applied as allowed above; provided,
that if prior to the Final LC Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by
Tenant or any Guarantor, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant
or any Guarantor by any of Tenant’s or Guarantor’s creditors, under the
Federal Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make
such payment in the amount of the unused Letter of Credit proceeds until
either all preference issues relating to payments under the Lease have
been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such
bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed, in each case

	 	 	 	pursuant to a final court order not subject to appeal or any stay pending
appeal.
	 
	 	D.	 	Additional Covenants of Tenant. If, as result of any
application or use
by Landlord of all or any part of the Letter of Credit, the amount of the
Letter of Credit shall be less than the Letter of Credit Amount, Tenant
shall, within five days thereafter, provide Landlord with additional
letter(s)
of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency (or a replacement letter of
credit in the total Letter of Credit Amount), and any such additional (or
replacement) letter of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this
Section 5 of Exhibit F, and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the
same shall constitute an uncurable Default by Tenant. Tenant further
covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter
of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors
or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance,
attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.
	 
	 	E.	 	Nature of Letter of Credit. Landlord and Tenant (1)
acknowledge and
agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit or any
renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof (including
the LC Proceeds Account) be deemed to be or treated as a “security
deposit” under any Law applicable to security deposits in the commercial
context, including Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, as such
section now exist or as may be hereafter amended or succeeded
(“Security Deposit Laws”), (2) acknowledge and agree that the Letter of
Credit (including any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any
proceeds thereof) is not intended to serve as a security deposit, and the
Security Deposit Laws shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto,
and (3) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may
now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security
Deposit Laws. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of
the California Civil Code and all other provisions of Law, now or hereafter
in effect, which (i) establish the time frame by which Landlord must
refund a security deposit under a lease, and/or (ii) provide that Landlord
may claim from the Security Deposit only those sums reasonably
necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage
caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord
may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Section 8.06 above
and/or those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any
loss or damage caused by Tenant’s breach of this Lease or the acts or
omission of Tenant or any other Tenant Related Parties, including any
damages Landlord suffers following termination of the Lease.






	 	8.10	 	Landlord Work and Shower Facility. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has
completed the Landlord Work and the Shower Facility as required under the
Lease and has no further obligations to Tenant under the Work Letter attached

EXPANSION SPACE WORK LETTER



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





	1.	 	Landlord shall perform improvements to the Expansion Space in accordance with the
plans prepared by AP+I Design, Inc. dated June 7, 2004 (the “Expansion Space
Plans”), which are attached hereto as Exhibit B-1. The improvements to be performed
by Landlord in accordance with the Expansion Space Plans are hereinafter referred to
as the “Expansion Space Landlord Work.” It is agreed that construction of the
Expansion Space Landlord Work will be completed at Landlord’s sole cost and expense
(subject to the terms of Section 2 below) using the Building standard methods, materials
and finishes attached hereto as Exhibit B-2. If any finishes or materials specified in the
Expansion Space Landlord Work are or become unavailable or have long lead times
that would delay Landlord’s completion of the Expansion Space Landlord Work,
Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to select alternative finishes or
materials to allow Landlord to complete the Expansion Space Landlord Work in a timely
manner. Landlord shall enter into a direct contract for the Expansion Space Landlord
Work with Venture Builders as general contractor. In addition, Landlord shall have the
right to select and/or approve of any subcontractors used in connection with the
Expansion Space Landlord Work. Subject to Landlord’s obligations expressly set forth
in Article 5 of the Lease, which Landlord agrees shall apply to the Expansion Space
Landlord Work to the same extent applicable to the Landlord Work set forth in the
original Lease, Landlord’s supervision or performance of any work for or on behalf of
Tenant shall not be deemed a representation by Landlord that such Expansion Space
Plans or the revisions thereto comply with applicable insurance requirements, building
codes, ordinances, laws or regulations, or that the improvements constructed in
accordance with the Expansion Space Plans and any revisions thereto will be adequate
for Tenant’s use, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the
design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality
of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the premises and the
placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment).
	 
	2.	 	If Tenant shall request any revisions to the Expansion Space Plans, Landlord shall have
such revisions prepared at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for the cost of preparing any such revisions to the Expansion Space Plans,
plus any applicable state sales or use tax thereon, upon demand. Promptly upon
completion of the revisions, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the increased cost
in the Expansion Space Landlord Work, if any, resulting from such revisions to the
Expansion Space Plans. Tenant, within three (3) Business Days, shall notify Landlord in
writing whether it desires to proceed with such revisions. In the absence of such written
authorization, Landlord shall have the option to continue work on the Expansion Space
disregarding the requested revision. Tenant shall be responsible for any Tenant Delay
in completion of the Expansion Space resulting from any revision to the Expansion
Space Plans. If such revisions result in an increase in the cost of Expansion Space
Landlord Work, such increased costs, plus any applicable state sales or use tax
thereon, shall be payable by Tenant upon demand. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, all revisions to the Expansion Space Plans shall be subject to the approval
of Landlord; provided, however, that if Landlord does not disapprove Tenant’s requested
revisions to the Expansion Plans prior to having such revisions prepared, then if
Landlord proceeds with preparation of the revised Expansion Plans and thereafter
disapproves the revisions for reasons other than (a) a violation of applicable fire or
building codes, or of other Laws, (b) the triggering of a legal requirement for upgrades
or alterations to the Premises or other parts of the Building, or (3) incompatibility or
conflicts with Building systems, then Tenant shall not be obligated to reimburse Landlord
for the cost of preparation of the revised Plans.
	 
	3.	 	This Expansion Space Work Letter shall not be deemed applicable to any additional
space added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options
under the Lease (as amended hereby) or otherwise, or to any portion of the original
Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the
original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease (as amended
hereby) or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease (as amended hereby)
or any amendment or supplement to the Lease (as amended hereby).

	 	•	 	At all open office locations ceiling will be exposed with a system in place for

ceiling to review with all parties. Until that time Landlord is willing to commit to
providing
a ceiling that is mutually agreeable for both parties.
	 
	 	•	 	Ceiling will be exposed, therefore all overhead cabling, ductwork, etc. must be
clean and installed in an organized “neat” manner.
	 
	 	•	 	Pendant hung strip fixtures used in open office areas to match standard on eighth floor.
	 
	 	•	 	Doors will be natural maple veneer (3’-0” x 9’-0”) with brushed aluminum
sidelights (2’-6” x 9’-0”). Door hardware-polished chrome.

areas — Bigelow Cyberweave. Rubber base — Burke.
	 
	 	•	 	VCT: In server room, storage room and breakroom — Armstrong.
	 
	 	•	 	Provide upper and lower cabinets in breakroom w/ dishwasher and garbage disposal.
Upper and lower cabinets in copy/mail area.
	 
	 	•	 	Electrical requirements:






Conference rooms and teaming rooms — two power/two phone/data

Conference rooms — floor power/data/phone in center of room

Phone rooms — 1 power — 1 phone/data

SECOND AMENDMENT




     THIS
SECOND AMENDMENT (the “Amendment”) is made and
entered into as of  March  7, 2005, by and
between CA-PARKSIDE TOWERS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership
(“Landlord”) and QUINSTREET, INC., a California corporation (“Tenant”).



RECITALS





	A.	 	Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain lease dated June 2, 2003, which lease has
been previously amended by that certain First Amendment dated June 24, 2004 (the
“First Amendment”) (collectively, the “Lease”). Pursuant to the Lease, Landlord has
leased to Tenant space currently containing approximately 53,877 rentable square feet
(the “Premises”) described as Suite Nos. 700 and 800 on the 7th and 8th floors,
respectively, of the building commonly known as Parkside Tower East located at 1051
East Hillsdale Boulevard, Foster City, California (the “Building”).
	 
	B.	 	Tenant and Landlord mutually desire that the Lease be amended on and subject to the
following terms and conditions.





     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals which by this reference are
incorporated herein, the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein and other valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant
agree as follows:




	1.	 	Amendment. Effective as of the date hereof, Landlord and Tenant agree that
the Lease shall be amended in accordance with the following terms and conditions:






	 	1.01.	 	Temporary Fitness Center Space.






	 	A.	 	As of February 28, 2005, the Lease shall terminate with respect to
the Fitness Center Space, as set forth in Section 8.08 of the First Amendment,
and Tenant shall surrender the Fitness Center Space to Landlord pursuant to
Section 25 of the Lease. During the period beginning on March 1, 2005 and ending
on March 31, 2005 (such period being referred to herein as the
“Temporary Fitness Center Space Term”), Landlord shall allow Tenant to use approximately 3,000
rentable square feet of space located on the 4th floor of the Building
as shown on Exhibit A of this Amendment (the “Temporary Fitness Center Space”)
for the placing of exercise equipment and use as a fitness center by Tenant’s
employees only, all at Tenant’s sole risk and Tenant’s sole cost and expense. THE
TEMPORARY FITNESS CENTER SPACE TERM SHALL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW FOR CONSECUTIVE
PERIODS OF 1 MONTH EACH UNTIL TERMINATED BY EITHER PARTY BY THE DELIVERY OF NOT
LESS THAN 30 DAYS PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE OTHER PARTY. Such Temporary Fitness
Center Space shall be accepted by Tenant in its “as-is” condition and
configuration, it being agreed that Landlord shall be under no obligation to
perform any work in the Temporary Fitness Center Space or to incur any costs in
connection with Tenant’s move in, move out or occupancy of the Temporary Fitness
Center Space. Tenant acknowledges that it shall be entitled to use and occupy the
Temporary Fitness Center Space at its sole cost, expense and risk. Tenant shall
not construct any improvements or make any alterations of any type to the
Temporary Fitness Center Space unless Tenant has first complied with all
requirements of Section 9 of the Lease. All costs in connection with making the
Temporary Fitness Center Space ready for occupancy by Tenant shall be the sole
responsibility of Tenant. As a condition of Tenant’s use of the Temporary Fitness
Center Space, and prior to the use of the Temporary Fitness Center Space by and
of Tenant’s employees, Tenant shall comply with the requirements contained in the
email from the Foster City Fire Marshal, attached hereto as Exhibit B (the
“Foster City Fire Marshal Requirements”). Tenant’s failure to comply with the
Foster City Fire Marshal Requirements shall automatically terminate any rights
granted to Tenant to use the Temporary Fitness Center Space.

Matter ID #: 18445




 









 







	 	B.	 	During the Temporary Fitness Center Space Term, the Temporary
Fitness Center Space shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Lease, including, without limitation, Section 13 (Indemnity and Waiver of
Claims), Section 14 (Insurance) and Section 15 (Subrogation), except as
expressly modified herein and except that (i) Tenant shall not be entitled to
receive any allowances, abatement or other financial concession in
connection with the Temporary Fitness Center Space which was granted
with respect to the Premises unless such concessions are expressly
provided for herein with respect to the Temporary Fitness Center Space,
(ii) the Temporary Fitness Center Space shall not be subject to any
renewal or expansion rights of Tenant under the Lease, (iii) Tenant shall
not be required to pay Base Rent for the Temporary Space during the
Temporary Fitness Center Space Term, and (iv) Tenant shall not be
required to pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Expenses and Taxes for the
Temporary Fitness Center Space during the Temporary Fitness Center
Space Term.
	 
	 	C.	 	Upon termination of the Temporary Fitness Center Space Term, Tenant
shall vacate the Temporary Fitness Center Space and deliver the same
to Landlord in the same condition that the Temporary Fitness Center
Space was delivered to Tenant, ordinary wear and tear excepted. At the
expiration or earlier termination of the Temporary Fitness Center Space
Term, Tenant shall remove all debris, all items of Tenant’s personalty,
and any trade fixtures of Tenant from the Temporary Fitness Center
Space. Tenant shall be fully liable for all damage Tenant or Tenant’s
agents, employees, contractors, or subcontractors cause to the
Temporary Fitness Center Space.
	 
	 	D.	 	Tenant shall have no right to hold over or otherwise occupy the
Temporary Fitness Center Space at any time following the expiration or
earlier termination of the Temporary Fitness Center Space Term, and in
the event of such holdover, Landlord shall immediately be entitled to
institute dispossessory proceedings to recover possession of the
Temporary Fitness Center Space, without first providing notice thereof to
Tenant. In the event of holding over by Tenant after expiration or
termination of the Temporary Fitness Center Space Term without the
written authorization of Landlord, Tenant shall pay, for such holding over,
$6,150.00 for each month or partial month of holdover, plus all
consequential damages that Landlord incurs as a result of the Tenant’s
hold over. During any such holdover, Tenant’s occupancy of the
Temporary Fitness Center Space shall be deemed that of a tenant at
sufferance, and in no event, either during the Temporary Fitness Center
Space Term or during any holdover by Tenant, shall Tenant be
determined to be a tenant-at-will under applicable law. While Tenant is
occupying the Temporary Fitness Center Space, Landlord or Landlord’s
authorized agents shall be entitled to enter the Temporary Fitness Center
Space, upon reasonable notice, to display the Temporary Fitness Center
Space to prospective tenants.

Basic Lease Information of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced

1. Providing sufficient emergency lighting so that the exit pathways are visible at all times
(Building Permit required for all electrical work)


2. Covering or clearly identifying the existing trip hazards in the floor


3. Providing a 2A10BC dry chemical fire extinguisher for the area


The building emergency systems and exit signs are existing and must be active at all times (they appear to be.)
