Base Rent and Additional Rent, as defined in Paragraph 4.B below,
(collectively, hereinafter “Rent”) shall be paid in advance on or
before the first (1st) day of each month. Rent for any period during
the Term hereof which is for less than one (1) month of the Term shall
be a pro rata portion of the monthly installment based on a thirty
(30) day month. Rent shall be payable without notice or demand and
without any deduction, offset, or abatement, in lawful money of the
United States of America. Rent shall be paid directly to Sublandlord
at 46939 Bayside Parkway, Fremont, CA 94538, Attention: Chief
Financial Officer, or such other address as may be designated in
writing by Sublandlord.




          B. Additional Rent. All monies other than Base Rent required to
be paid by Subtenant under this Sublease, including, without
limitation, all amounts payable by Sublandlord under the Master Lease
applicable to the Subleased Premises shall be deemed additional rent
(“Additional Rent”). Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord is
required to pay to Master Landlord “Building Operating Expenses” (as
defined in the Master Lease) and estimated payments thereof and
adjustments thereto in accordance with the Master Lease. In addition
to all other Additional Rent set forth in this Sublease, Subtenant
shall pay to Sublandlord as Additional Rent hereunder, Subtenant’s pro
rata share of all of such Building Operating Expenses payable by
Sublandlord to Master Landlord pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the Master



- 3 -









 




Lease. As used herein, the phrase “Subtenant’s pro rata share” shall mean that
amount, expressed as a percentage, equal to the number of square feet of
leasable area included in the Subleased Premises divided by the number of
square feet of leasable area in the Master Premises. Such amounts (including
estimated payments thereof and adjustments thereto in accordance with the
Master Lease) shall be payable by Subtenant no later than two (2) days before
the dates the same are due under the Master Lease; provided, however, that with
respect to any Subtenant’s Additional Rent not payable monthly by Sublandlord
to Master Landlord under the Master Lease, Subtenant shall have received at
least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of such payment, unless otherwise
provided for herein. Sublandlord shall promptly forward the appropriate
invoices received from Master Landlord. Subtenant and Sublandlord agree, as a
material part of the consideration given by Subtenant to Sublandlord for this
Sublease, that Subtenant shall pay Subtenant’s pro rata share of all costs,
expenses, taxes, insurance, maintenance and other charges of every kind and
nature to the extent Sublandlord shall be charged for such amounts pursuant to
the terms and conditions of the Master Lease, such that Sublandlord shall
receive, as net consideration for this Sublease, full reimbursement thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any cost, expense, tax,
insurance, maintenance or other charge of any kind is incurred under the Master
Lease for either Subtenant’s or Sublandlord’s sole benefit or as a result of
either Subtenant’s or Sublandlord’s request for certain additional services
(such as extra hours’ charges, etc.) or otherwise, the responsible party shall
pay the entire cost thereof, and such charges shall not be pro rated between
Sublandlord and Subtenant.




     Subtenant shall be separately metered for electric, gas and water service
to the Phase I Sublease Premises and shall install, as part of Subtenant’s
Improvements (as such term is defined below), meter or other equipment to
measure such service to the Phase II Subleased Premises. Subtenant shall pay
for all water, gas, heat, cooling, light, power, telephone and other utilities
and services to the Subleased Premises directly to the service provider.



          C. Prepayment of Rent. On or prior to January 15, 2005, Subtenant
shall pay to Sublandlord the sum of Seventy Thousand Thirty-Five Dollars
($70,035) which shall constitute Base Rent for the fifth (5th) month of the
Term.



     5. Security Deposit: Upon execution of this Sublease by Subtenant,
Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars ($95,000)
in immediately available funds as security for the performance by Subtenant of
its obligations under this Sublease, and not as a prepayment of rent (the
“Security Deposit”). If Subtenant Defaults under this Sublease, Sublandlord may
apply all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or
other sum in Default, the repair of any damage to the Subleased Premises caused
by Subtenant or the payment of any other amount which Sublandlord may spend or
become obligated to spend by reason of Subtenant’s Default or to compensate
Sublandlord for any other loss or damage which Sublandlord may suffer by reason
of Subtenant’s Default to the full extent permitted by law. Subtenant hereby
waives any restriction on the use or application of the Security Deposit by
Sublandlord as set forth in California Civil Code Section 1950.7. To the extent
any portion of the Security Deposit is used, Subtenant shall within ten (10)
days after demand from Sublandlord restore the Security Deposit to its full
amount. Sublandlord may keep the Security Deposit in its general funds and
shall not be required to pay interest to Subtenant on the Security Deposit.
Sublandlord shall return all of the remaining Security Deposit to Subtenant
within thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date or earlier termination of
this Sublease, less any amounts Sublandlord is entitled to in accordance with
this Paragraph 5. The Security Deposit shall not serve as an advance payment of
rent or a measure of Sublandlord’s damages for any Default under this Sublease.
Subtenant covenants and agrees that it shall not assign or encumber or attempt
to assign or encumber the Security Deposit and neither Sublandlord nor its
successors or assigns shall be bound by any such agreement, encumbrance,
attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

     6. Furniture:



          A. During the Term of the Sublease, Subtenant shall have the right to use
the furniture
currently existing in the Subleased Premises and outlined on Exhibit C-1
attached hereto (the “Furniture”)
and the equipment currently existing in the Subleased Premises and
outlined on Exhibit C-2 (the
“Equipment”) throughout the Term at no additional cost or charge. Such
Furniture and Equipment are
provided by Sublandlord in their “AS IS” condition, with all faults and
defects, and Subtenant shall use such
Furniture and Equipment at Subtenant’s sole risk. No representations or
warranties whatsoever as to the
Furniture’s or the Equipment’s condition or fitness for a particular
purpose, express or implied, are made by
Sublandlord. Subtenant shall maintain and repair the Furniture and
Equipment, and shall surrender the
Furniture at the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease, in the
same condition as received by
Subtenant, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Subtenant, at its sole cost,
may elect to remove from the
Subleased Premises and store items of Furniture and Equipment subject to
Sublandlord’s prior written
consent as to the items being removed, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Sublandlord hereby approves of Subtenant’s removal and storage of
the cubicles in the Phase II
Subleased Premises. Subtenant shall return (and reassemble) any removed
items of Furniture and Equipment
to the Subleased Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of the
Sublease, in the same condition as
received by Subtenant, reasonable wear and tear excepted.



          B. Subtenant at its cost (i) shall maintain “All Risk” property insurance
covering the
Furniture and Equipment for the full replacement cost thereof and (ii) as
Subtenant’s Additional Rent
hereunder, shall pay for any and all property taxes thereon. Upon notice
from Sublandlord, Subtenant shall
assign to Sublandlord (or to any party designated by Sublandlord) all
property insurance proceeds payable to
Subtenant under Subtenant’s insurance with respect to the Furniture and
Equipment; provided if the estimated
cost to replace such Furniture and Equipment exceeds the amount of
insurance proceeds received by
Sublandlord from Subtenant’s insurance carrier, the excess cost of such
replacement shall be paid by
Subtenant to Sublandlord. Sublandlord hereby represents and warrants to
Subtenant that Sublandlord has
good and marketable title to the Furniture and Equipment, free and clear
of any liens, charges, encumbrances,
security interests and adverse claims. The Furniture and Equipment shall
remain the personal property of
Sublandlord; provided, however, that as security for the performance of
all of Sublandlord’s obligations
under this Sublease, Sublandlord hereby assigns, pledges and grants to
Subtenant a security interest in and a
lien upon the Furniture and Equipment. Subtenant shall have the right to
file a financing statement
describing the Furniture and Equipment with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware. Sublandlord
shall give such notices and take such other actions, at Sublandlord’s sole
cost and expense, as may be
necessary to prevent any third party from dispossessing Subtenant of its
use of the Furniture and Equipment
during the Term. For the purposes of such security interest and lien,
this Sublease shall constitute a
“security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code as
in effect in the State of
California. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such security
interest and lien on the Furniture
and Equipment shall terminate from and after the Expiration Date (whether
or not Sublandlord is in default
hereunder) or earlier termination of the Sublease for any reason other
than the default of Sublandlord;
provided, however, that if Subtenant enters into the “Direct Lease” (as
defined in the Consent to Sublease
attached hereto as Exhibit-F) with Master Landlord, such security interest
and lien and Subtenant’s rights and
obligations under this Paragraph 6 shall continue through the expiration
or earlier termination of the Direct
Lease (but in no event beyond May 16, 2010).



     7. Late Charge: If Subtenant fails to pay Sublandlord any amount due
hereunder on or before the
fifth day after such payment is due more than one (1) time in any twelve
(12) month period or fails to pay
Sublandlord any amount due hereunder on or before the fifth day after
written notice of nonpayment,
Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord upon demand a late charge equal to five
percent (5%) of the delinquent



- 5 -









 




amount. The parties agree that the foregoing late charge represents a
reasonable estimate of the cost and expense which Sublandlord will
incur in processing each delinquent payment. Sublandlord’s acceptance
of any interest or late charge shall not waive Subtenant’s default in
failing to pay the delinquent amount.




     8. Holdover: Subtenant acknowledges that it is critical that
Subtenant surrender the Subleased
Premises on or before the Expiration Date or earlier termination
of the Sublease in accordance with the terms
of this Sublease. Accordingly, Subtenant shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Sublandlord from and
against all losses, costs, claims, liabilities and damages
resulting from Subtenant’s failure to surrender the
Subleased Premises on the Expiration Date or earlier termination
of the Sublease in the condition required
under the terms of this Sublease (including, without limitation,
any liability or damages sustained by
Sublandlord as a result of a holdover of the Master Premises by
Sublandlord as a result of the holdover of the
Subleased Premises by Subtenant). In addition, Subtenant shall pay
Sublandlord holdover rent equal to one
hundred fifty percent (150%) of Base Rent (in addition to any
Additional Rent payable hereunder) for any
holdover period after the Expiration Date or earlier termination
of the Sublease through the date Subtenant
surrenders the Subleased Premises in the condition required
hereunder.



     9. AS IS Condition: Except as expressly stated in this Sublease,
the parties acknowledge and agree
that Subtenant is subleasing the Subleased Premises on an “AS IS”
basis, and that Sublandlord has made no
representations or warranties, express or implied, whatsoever,
with respect to the Subleased Premises,
including, without limitation, any representation or warranty as
to the suitability of the Subleased Premises
for Subtenant’s intended use or any representation or warranty
made by Master Landlord under the Master
Lease. Sublandlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to make or
pay the cost of any alterations,
improvements or repairs to the Subleased Premises, including,
without limitation, any improvement or repair
required to comply with any law, regulation, building code or
ordinance (including the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, as may be amended). Subtenant hereby
expressly waives the provisions of
subsection 1 of Section 1932 and Sections 1941 and 1942 of the
Civil Code of California and all rights to
make repairs at the expense of Sublandlord as provided in Section
1942 of said Civil Code. Not limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Sublandlord represents to and
warrants to Subtenant that as of the date hereof, to
the Sublandlord’s current knowledge, the lighting, heating,
ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing and
electrical systems in the Subleased Premises are in good working
order.



     10. Master Landlord’s Obligations: Sublandlord agrees that
Subtenant shall be entitled to receive
all service and repairs to be provided by Master Landlord to
Sublandlord under the Master Lease with
regards to the Subleased Premises; provided, however, that
Sublandlord shall not be liable for any failure or
interruption of any such service or repairs except to the extent
caused by or arising from the negligence or
willful misconduct of Sublandlord or Sublandlord Related Parties
(as defined in Paragraph 12 below).
Sublandlord shall have no obligation to perform any repairs or any
other obligation of Master Landlord
required to be performed by Master Landlord under the terms of the
Master Lease (including, without
limitation, Master Landlord’s obligations under Articles 5, 6, 9,
10 and 11 of the Master Lease and Master
Landlord’s obligation to comply with laws and carry building
insurance). Sublandlord shall, however,
request performance of the same in writing from Master Landlord
promptly after being requested to do so by
Subtenant, and shall use Sublandlord’s reasonable efforts (not
including the payment of money, the incurring
of any liabilities, or the institution of legal proceedings) to
obtain Master Landlord’s performance. However,
in the event that (i) Master Landlord is in default under the
Master Lease beyond applicable notice and cure
periods and (ii) Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises is, or
Subtenant’s rights under this Sublease are,
materially and adversely affected by such default, then, upon
Subtenant’s request, Sublandlord shall permit
Subtenant to take legal action (an “Action”) against Master
Landlord at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, in
which event, for that purpose and only to such extent,
Sublandlord’s rights under the Master Lease as
“Tenant” with respect to the Subleased Premises to institute such
legal action shall be assigned to Subtenant,



- 6 -









 




and Subtenant shall be subrogated to such rights to the extent that the
same shall apply to the Subleased Premises. If any such Action against
Master Landlord shall be barred by reason of lack of privity,
nonassignability or otherwise, Subtenant may take such Action in
Sublandlord’s name at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense; provided
Subtenant obtains the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In
the event Subtenant brings an Action in accordance with this Paragraph
10, Sublandlord shall reasonably cooperate with Subtenant in
Subtenant’s prosecution of the same; provided, however, that such
cooperation shall be at no out-of-pocket cost to Sublandlord. Subtenant
shall indemnify, protect, defend by counsel reasonably satisfactory to
Sublandlord and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any and all
liability, loss, claims, demands, suits, penalties or damage
(including, without being limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) which Sublandlord may incur or suffer by reason of any Action
taken pursuant to this Paragraph 10.




     11. Right to Cure Defaults: If Subtenant fails to pay any sum of
money to Sublandlord, or fails to
perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, then
Sublandlord may, but shall not be obligated
to, make such payment or perform such act. All such sums paid, and
all reasonable costs and expenses of
performing any such act, shall be deemed Additional Rent payable
by Subtenant to Sublandlord upon
demand, together with interest thereon at the lesser of (i) ten
percent (10%) per annum or (ii) the maximum
rate allowable under law (the “Interest Rate”) from the date of
the expenditure until repaid. Sublandlord
shall provide Subtenant five (5) business days’ notice prior to
making such payment or performing such act
unless sooner action is required to avoid a default under the
Master Lease. The notice requirement in the
preceding sentence shall not apply, however, to the payment of
Additional Rent payable on a monthly basis.



     12. Indemnity. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or
willful misconduct of Sublandlord,
its agents, employees, directors, representatives, contractors or
invitees (other than Subtenant) (“Sublandlord
Related Parties”), Subtenant shall indemnify, defend with counsel
reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord,
protect and hold harmless Sublandlord and its agents, employees,
directors, shareholders, and representatives
from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities,
judgments, causes of action, damages, costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees) (collectively, “Claims”), caused by or
arising in connection with: (i) the use, occupancy, operation or
condition of the Subleased Premises; (ii) the
negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant or Subtenant Related
Parties (as defined below); and (iii) a
breach of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease or the
provisions of the Master Lease with respect to
the Subleased Premises. Except to the extent caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant,
its agents, employees, directors, representatives, contractors or
invitees (“Subtenant Related Parties”),
Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably
acceptable to Subtenant, protect and hold
harmless Subtenant and its agents, employees, directors,
shareholders, and representatives from and against
any and all Claims caused by or arising in connection with: (1) a
breach of Sublandlord’s obligations under
this Sublease and, except to the extent such obligations are
assumed by Subtenant under this Sublease, the
Master Lease; and (2) the negligence or willful misconduct of
Sublandlord or Sublandlord Related Parties.
The indemnities in this Paragraph shall survive termination of
this Sublease.



     13. Assignment and Subletting: Subject to the terms of Article 7
of the Master Lease, incorporated
herein, Subtenant may not assign any interest in this Sublease (by
operation of law or otherwise), sublet any
of the Subleased Premises, transfer any interest of Subtenant
therein or permit any use of the Subleased
Premises by another party (collectively, “Transfer”), without the
prior written consent of Sublandlord and, if
required under the Master Lease or the Consent to Sublease (as
defined below), Master Landlord.
Sublandlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld provided,
however, Sublandlord’s withholding of
consent shall in all events be deemed reasonable if for any reason
Master Landlord’s consent is required but
not obtained. A consent to one Transfer shall not be deemed to be
a consent to any subsequent Transfer.



- 7 -









 




Any Transfer without such consent shall be void and, at the option of
Sublandlord, shall be a material default under this Sublease.
Sublandlord’s waiver or consent to any assignment or subletting shall
be ineffective unless set forth in writing. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, in no event may Subtenant assign the Sublease, sub-sublet
the Subleased Premises or otherwise transfer Subtenant’s interest
herein if doing so could permit the Master Landlord to terminate the
Master Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
but subject to the preceding sentence, Subtenant may, without
Sublandlord’s prior written consent, but subject to Master Landlord’s
prior written consent to the extent required under the Master Lease or
the Consent to Sublease, sublet the Subleased Premises or assign the
Sublease to (a) an entity controlling, controlled by or under common
control with Subtenant, (b) a successor corporation related to
Subtenant by merger, consolidation, nonbankruptcy reorganization, or
government action, or (c) a purchaser of substantially all of
Subtenant’s assets. A sale or transfer of Subtenant’s capital stock
shall not be deemed an assignment, subletting or any other transfer of
the Sublease or the Subleased Premises. In the event of a Transfer
hereunder, Subtenant shall not be relieved from any of its obligations
under this Sublease.




     14. Use:



          A. Subtenant may use the Subleased Premises for the “Permitted
Use” under the Master
Lease and for no other purpose whatsoever.



          B. Subtenant shall not use, store, keep, handle, manufacture,
transport, release, discharge,
emit or dispose of any Hazardous Materials (as defined in the
Master Lease) in, on, under, about, to or from
the Subleased Premises, except that Subtenant may use Hazardous
Materials contained in ordinary office
supplies of a type and in quantities typically used in the
ordinary course of business within business offices,
but only if and to the extent that such Hazardous Materials are
transported, stored and used in full
compliance with all applicable Hazardous Materials laws and
otherwise in a safe and prudent manner. Under
no circumstance shall Subtenant be liable for Hazardous Materials
present at any time on or about the
Project, or the soil, air, improvements, groundwater or surface
water thereof, or the violation of any laws,
orders or regulations, relating to any such Hazardous Material,
except to the extent that any of the foregoing
actually results from the release or emission of Hazardous
Materials by Subtenant or Subtenant Related
Parties. To the extent Sublandlord actually receives indemnity
from Master Landlord pursuant to Section
4.11 of the Master Lease with respect to “Subtenant’s Hazardous
Materials Claims” as hereinafter defined,
Sublandlord shall indemnify Subtenant and Subtenant Related
Parties from all losses, costs, claims, liabilities
and damages (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’
fees) of every type and nature, directly or
indirectly arising out of or in connection with Hazardous
Materials present at any time on or about the
Project, or the soil, air, improvements, groundwater or surface
water thereof, or the violation of any laws,
orders or regulations, relating to any such Hazardous Material
(collectively, “Subtenant’s Hazardous
Materials Claims”), except to the extent that any of the foregoing
actually results from the release or
emission of Hazardous Materials by Subtenant or Subtenant Related
Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Sublandlord’s sole obligation under this Paragraph shall be to
request performance of such indemnification
obligations from Master Landlord in writing promptly after being
requested to do so by Subtenant, and to use
Sublandlord’s reasonable efforts (not including the payment of
money, the incurring of liabilities, or the
institution of legal proceedings) to obtain Master Landlord’s
performance. In the event that Master Landlord
defaults in its obligations under Section 4.11 of the Master
Lease, Subtenant shall have the right to take an
Action against Master Landlord in accordance with Paragraph 10
above.



          C. Subtenant shall comply with all reasonable rules and
regulations promulgated from time
to time by Sublandlord or Master Landlord.

     15. Effect
of Conveyance: As used in this Sublease, the term
“Sublandlord” means the holder of
the “Tenant’s” interest under the Master Lease. In the event of any
assignment or transfer of the “Tenant’s”
interest under the Master Lease, which assignment or transfer may
occur at any time during the Term hereof
in Sublandlord’s sole discretion, Sublandlord shall be and hereby
is entirely relieved of all covenants and
obligations of Sublandlord hereunder, and it shall be deemed and
construed, without further agreement
between the parties hereto, that any transferee has assumed and
shall carry out all covenants and obligations
thereafter to be performed by Sublandlord hereunder; provided,
however, that Sublandlord shall transfer and
deliver any security of Subtenant to such transferee, including,
without limitation, the Security Deposit, and
shall provide Subtenant with written evidence of such assumption.



     16. Delivery
and Acceptance: This Sublease shall not be void or
voidable, nor shall Sublandlord be
liable to Subtenant for any loss or damage, by reason of delays in
Sublandlord delivering any portion of the
Subleased Premises to Subtenant for any reason whatsoever, subject,
however, to Subtenant’s right to
terminate this Sublease as provided for in Paragraph 3(A) above.
Subtenant has fully inspected the
Subleased Premises and is satisfied with the condition thereof. By
taking possession of the Subleased
Premises, Subtenant conclusively shall be deemed to have accepted
the Subleased Premises in its then-
existing, “AS IS” condition, without any representation or warranty
whatsoever from Sublandlord with
respect thereto, except as expressly provided for in Paragraph 9 of
this Sublease.



     17. Improvements: Subtenant shall not make any alterations or
improvements to the Subleased
Premises (i) without the prior written consent of both Master
Landlord (if required under the Master Lease)
and Sublandlord, and (ii) except in accordance with the Master
Lease. Subtenant shall have the right to
select its own general contractor subject, however, to
Sublandlord’s and Master Landlord’s (if required under
the Master Lease) prior written consent to such contractor.
Sublandlord’s consents under this Paragraph
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
provided, however, that Sublandlord’s
withholding of consent shall in all events be deemed reasonable if
for any reason Master Landlord’s consent
is not obtained. Sublandlord hereby approves of those certain
improvements to the Phase I Subleased
Premises described on Exhibit D hereto subject to Master
Landlord’s approval of the same (the “Subtenant
Improvements”).



     18. Release and Waiver of Subrogation: Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this
Sublease, Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby release each other from
any damage to property or loss of any
kind which is caused by or results from any risk that normally
would be insured against under any property
insurance policy required to be carried by either party. This
release shall be in effect only so long as the
applicable insurance policy contains a clause to the effect that
this release shall not affect the right of the
insured to recover under the policy. Each party shall use its
reasonable efforts to cause each property
insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurer waives
all right of recovery against the other party
and its agents and employees in connection with any damage or
injury covered by the policy, and each party
shall notify the other party if it is unable to obtain a waiver of
subrogation. Subtenant shall not be entitled to
terminate this Sublease or to abate Rent nor shall Sublandlord,
except to the extent caused by or arising from
the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord or Sublandlord
Related Parties, be liable to Subtenant
for the (i) failure or interruption of any utility system or
service or (ii) failure of Master Landlord to maintain
the Subleased Premises as may be required under the Master Lease.
In no event shall Sublandlord be liable
to Subtenant for any lost profit, damage to or loss of business or
any form of special, indirect or
consequential damage.



     19. Insurance: Subtenant shall obtain and keep in full force and
effect, at Subtenant’s sole cost and
expense, during the Term the insurance required to be carried by
the “Tenant” under the Master Lease with
respect to the Subleased Premises and any property of Subtenant.
Subtenant shall include Sublandlord and



- 9 -









 




Master Landlord as an additional insured in any policy of insurance
carried by Subtenant in connection with this Sublease and shall
provide Sublandlord with certificates of insurance upon Sublandlord’s
request.




     20. Default: Subtenant shall be in material default of its
obligations under this Sublease if any of the following events occur
(each a “Default”):



          A. Subtenant fails to pay any Rent within five (5) days after written notice of
nonpayment; or



          B. Subtenant fails to perform any term, covenant or condition of
this Sublease (other than
the payment of Rent) and fails to cure such breach within twenty
(20) days after delivery of a written notice
specifying the nature of the breach; provided, however, that if
such breach cannot reasonably be cured within
such 20-day period, the cure period shall be extended as
reasonably necessary to cure such breach if
Subtenant commences curing such breach within such 20-day period
and diligently prosecutes the same to
completion; or



          C. the bankruptcy or insolvency of Subtenant, transfer by
Subtenant in fraud of creditors, an
assignment by Subtenant for the benefit of creditors, or the
commencement of any proceedings of any kind
by or against Subtenant under any provision of the Federal
Bankruptcy Act or under any other insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization act unless, in the event any such
proceedings are involuntary, Subtenant is
discharged from the same within thirty (30) days thereafter;



          D. the appointment of a receiver for a substantial part of
the assets of Subtenant;



          E. the levy upon this Sublease or any estate of Subtenant
hereunder by any attachment or
execution and the failure within twenty (20) days thereafter to
have such attachment or execution vacated or
such other action taken with respect thereto so as to put
Sublandlord at no risk of having an unconsented
transfer of this Sublease;



          F. Subtenant commits any other act or omission which could
constitute a default under the
Master Lease.



     21. Remedies: In the event of any default by Subtenant,
Sublandlord shall have all remedies
provided to the “Landlord” under the Master Lease and all other
rights and remedies otherwise available at
law and in equity. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Sublandlord shall have the remedy
described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Sublandlord
may continue the Sublease in effect after
Subtenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes
due, if Subtenant has right to sublet or
assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Sublandlord may
resort to its remedies cumulatively or in the
alternative. In the event of any default by Sublandlord,
Subtenant shall have all remedies provided to the
“Tenant” under the Master Lease and all other rights and remedies
otherwise available at law and in equity.
Subtenant may resort to its remedies cumulatively or in the
alternative.



     22. Surrender: On or before the Expiration Date or any sooner
termination of this Sublease,
Subtenant shall remove all of its trade fixtures, personal
property and all alterations and improvements
constructed by Subtenant in the Subleased Premises which are
required to be removed under the terms of this
Sublease or the Master Lease, and shall surrender the Subleased
Premises to Sublandlord in good condition,
order and repair, reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty
or condemnation excepted. Subtenant
shall repair any damage to the Subleased Premises caused by
Subtenant’s removal of its personal property,
furnishings and equipment, except to the extent such damage is
caused by the negligence or willful



- 10 -









 




misconduct of Sublandlord or Sublandlord Related Parties. If the
Subleased Premises are not so surrendered, then Subtenant shall be
liable to Sublandlord for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred
by Sublandlord in returning the Subleased Premises to the required
condition, plus interest thereon at the Interest Rate.



     23. Broker: Sublandlord and Subtenant each represent to the other
that they have dealt with no real
estate brokers, finders, agents or salesmen in connection with
this transaction other than CB Richard Ellis
(“CBRE”) representing Subtenant and CPS, a Commercial Real Estate
Company, Inc. (“CPS”) representing
Sublandlord. Subtenant agrees to indemnify and hold Sublandlord
harmless from and against all claims for
brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or other compensation made by
any other agent, broker, salesman or
finder as a consequence of Subtenant’s actions or dealings with
such other agent, broker, salesman, or finder
or of Subtenant’s breach of the foregoing representation.
Sublandlord agrees to indemnify and hold
Subtenant harmless from and against all claims for brokerage
commissions, finder’s fees or other
compensation made by any other agent, broker, salesman or finder
as a consequence of Sublandlord’s actions
or dealings with such other agent, broker, salesman, or finder or
of Sublandlord’s breach of the foregoing
representation.



     24. Notices: Unless at least five (5) days’ prior written notice
is given in the manner set forth in this
paragraph, the address of each party for all purposes connected
with this Sublease shall be that address set
forth below their signatures at the end of this Sublease. All
notices, demands or communications in
connection with this Sublease shall be properly addressed and
delivered as follows: (a) personally delivered;
or (b) submitted to an overnight courier service, charges prepaid;
or (c) deposited in the mail (certified,
return-receipt requested, and postage prepaid). Notices shall be
deemed delivered upon receipt, if personally
delivered, one (1) business day after being so submitted to an
overnight courier service and two (2) business
days after deposit in the United States mail, if mailed as set
forth above. All notices given to Master
Landlord under the Master Lease shall be considered received only
when delivered in accordance with the
Master Lease.



     25. Other Sublease Terms:




          A. Incorporation By Reference. Except as set forth below and
except as otherwise provided in this Sublease, the terms and conditions
of this Sublease shall include all of the terms of the Master Lease and
such terms are incorporated into this Sublease as if fully set forth
herein, except that: (i) each reference in such incorporated sections
to “Lease” shall be deemed a reference to this “Sublease”; (ii) each
reference to the “Premises” shall be deemed a reference to the
“Subleased Premises”; (iii) each reference to “Landlord” shall be
deemed a reference to “Sublandlord” and each reference to “Tenant”

expressly set forth herein; (iv) with respect to work, services,
utilities, electricity, repairs (or damage caused by Master Landlord),
restoration, insurance, indemnities, reimbursements, representations,
warranties or the performance of any other obligation of “Landlord”
under the Master Lease, whether or not incorporated herein, the only
obligations of Sublandlord shall be as set forth in Paragraph 10 of
this Sublease; (v) with respect to any obligation of Subtenant to be
performed under this Sublease, wherever the Master Lease grants to
“Tenant” a specified number of days to perform its obligations under
the Master Lease (including, without limitation, curing any defaults),
except as otherwise provided herein, Subtenant shall have three (3)
fewer days to perform the obligation or one-half the time period
permitted under the Master Lease, which ever allows Subtenant the
greater amount of time, provided that in no event shall such period be
shortened to a duration of less than two (2) business days for the
purposes of this Sublease, unless sooner action is required to avoid a
default under the Master Lease; (vi) with respect to any approval
required to be obtained from the “Landlord” under the Master Lease,
such approval must be obtained from both Master Landlord and
Sublandlord, and Sublandlord’s withholding of approval shall in all
events be deemed reasonable if for any reason Master Landlord’s
approval is not



- 11 -









 




obtained; (vii) in any case where the “Landlord” reserves or is granted
the right to manage, supervise, control, repair, alter, regulate the use
of, enter or use the Premises or any areas beneath, above or adjacent
thereto, such reservation or grant of right of entry shall be deemed to
be for the benefit of both Master Landlord and Sublandlord; (viii) in
any case where “Tenant” is to indemnify, release or waive claims against
“Landlord”, such indemnity, release or waiver shall be deemed to run
from Subtenant to both Master Landlord and Sublandlord; (ix) in any case
where “Tenant” is to execute and deliver certain documents or notices to
“Landlord”, such obligation shall be deemed to run from Subtenant to
both Master Landlord and Sublandlord; and (x) the following
modifications shall be made to the Master Lease as incorporated herein:




               (a) the following provisions of the Master Lease are not
incorporated herein:
Sections 1.1 (except 1.1.M and 1.1. Q), 2.1, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 3.1,
3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.5 (first sentence), 4.6 (last
sentence), 4.11 (last two sentences), 6.1 (last two sentences), 7.1
(fourth and fifth sentences), 7.3(a), 7.5 (last
sentence), 9.3, 12.1, 13.3 (last sentence), 13.9, 13.11(subsections
D, E and F), Exhibit C, and “Option to
Renew Lease”;



               (b) references to “Initial Tenant Improvements” shall
be deleted;



               (c) reference to “fifty percent” in Section 7.4(f) of the Master
Lease shall be
changed to “seventy-five percent”;



               (d) in the event that Sublandlord, as Tenant, actually receives a
rent abatement
under the Master Lease for all or a portion of the Subleased
Premises, Subtenant shall be entitled to a
proportionate abatement of Subtenant’s Rent in the amount payable
hereunder with respect to the portion of
the Subleased Premises affected; provided, however, any right to
abate rent shall not exceed the rent actually
abated under the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased
Premises.



          B. Assumption of Obligations. This Sublease is and at all times
shall be subject and
subordinate to the Master Lease and the rights of Master Landlord
thereunder. Subtenant hereby expressly
assumes and agrees: (i) to comply with all provisions of the
Master Lease; and (ii) to perform all the
obligations on the part of the “Tenant” to be performed under the
terms of the Master Lease with respect to
the Subleased Premises during the Term. In the event the Master
Lease is terminated for any reason
whatsoever, this Sublease shall terminate simultaneously with such
termination without any liability of
Sublandlord to Subtenant; provided, however, that Sublandlord
shall remain liable for any such termination
caused by the default of Sublandlord under the Master Lease which
was not caused by a Default hereunder
by Subtenant. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of
this Sublease and the Master Lease, as
between Sublandlord and Subtenant, the provisions of this Sublease
shall control.



          C. Preservation of Master Lease. Sublandlord shall not voluntarily
terminate the Master
Lease except (i) pursuant to Article 10 or Article 11 of the
Master Lease or (ii) as a result of a default by
Master Landlord under the Master Lease that materially and
adversely affects Sublandlord’s rights as Tenant
under the Master Lease. Except to the extent such obligations are
assumed or agreed to be performed by
Subtenant under this Sublease, and except those obligations which
Sublandlord contests in good faith,
Sublandlord shall perform all of its obligations under the Master
Lease during the Term (unless the failure to
perform is caused in whole or in part by Subtenant or Subtenant
Related Parties).



     26. Right to Contest: If Sublandlord does not have the right to
contest any matter in the Master Lease due to expiration of any time
limit that may be set forth therein or for any other reason, then
notwithstanding any incorporation of any such provision from the Master
Lease in this Sublease, Subtenant shall also not have the right to
contest any such matter.



- 12 -









 





     27. Parking. Subtenant shall have the exclusive right to use three
and one-half (31⁄2) parking spaces
per 1,000 square feet of leasable area of the Subleased Premises
(i.e., 306 parking spaces (87,544 ÷ 1,000 x
3.5) commencing on February 1, 2005 and an additional 53 parking
spaces (15,010 ÷ 1,000 x 3.5)
commencing on January 1, 2006). Subtenant’s initial 306 and
subsequent 53 parking spaces are highlighted
on Exhibit E. attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference. Subtenant shall not permit its
employees to park in any other parking spaces serving the Master
Premises.



     28. Signage. Subject to the requirements of Section 4.6 of the
Master Lease (including, without
limitation, obtaining Landlord’s consent) and subject to
Sublandlord’s prior written approval as to the design,
location and specifications (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld), Subtenant shall have the
right to install, at its sole cost and expense, signage at the
Subleased Premises to the extent permitted by the
City of Fremont, including, but not limited to: (A) on the
existing monument at the driveway entrance to the
Phase I Premises along Bayside Parkway; (B) on the existing
monument at the corner of Gateway Boulevard
and Bayside Parkway; (C) on the rear entrance sign at the driveway
along Gateway Boulevard; and (D) on
the exterior of the 47071 Building.



     29. Security Service: Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord is
not responsible for the security
of the Subleased Premises or the protection of Subtenant’s
property or Subtenant’s employees, invitees or
contractors, and that to the extent Subtenant determines that such
security or protection services are advisable
or necessary, Subtenant shall arrange for and pay the costs of
providing the same. If Subtenant shall use the
security system currently installed in the Subleased Premises, it
shall contact Sonitrol Corporation
(“Sonitrol”) directly to initiate the security service.
Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with Sonitrol’s
contact information immediately upon request. With respect to the
Sonitrol system in 46939 Building,
Sublandlord, at Sublandlord’s cost, shall cause Sonitrol to
separate the controls for the Sublandlord’s portion
of the 46939 Building from the controls for the Phase II Subleased
Premises.



     30. Conditions Precedent: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Sublease, this Sublease
and Sublandlord’s and Subtenant’s obligations hereunder are
conditioned upon Master Landlord’s execution
and delivery of the “Consent to Sublease” in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F to the Lease. Sublandlord
shall deliver the Consent to Sublease and the fully executed
Sublease to Landlord within five (5) business
days following full execution and delivery of this Sublease. If,
within thirty (30) days after such delivery,
Master Landlord does not execute such Consent to Sublease or such
executed Consent to Sublease is not
delivered to Subtenant, then either party may terminate this
Sublease by giving the other written notice
thereof prior to receipt of such Consent to Sublease from Master
Landlord.



     31. Amendment: This Sublease may not be amended except by the
written agreement of all parties
hereto.



     32. Counterparts: This Sublease may be executed in one (1) or more
counterparts each of which
shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall
constitute one (1) and the same instrument.
Signature copies may be detached from the counterparts and
attached to a single copy of this Sublease
physically to form one (1) document.



     33. Drafting Presumption: The parties acknowledge that this
Sublease has been agreed to by both
the parties, that both Sublandlord and Subtenant have consulted
with attorneys with respect to the terms of
this Sublease and that no presumption shall be created against
Sublandlord because Sublandlord drafted this
Sublease.



- 13 -









 





     34. Entire
Agreement: This Sublease constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties, and
there are no binding agreements or representations between the parties
except as expressed herein. No
subsequent change or addition to this Lease shall be binding unless in
writing and signed by the parties
hereto.



     35. Quiet Enjoyment. Sublandlord covenants that, so long as there is no
Default hereunder,
Subtenant shall and may peacefully have, hold and enjoy the Subleased
Premises without ejection by any
person lawfully claiming by, through or under Sublandlord.

ARTICLE 3

RENT, LATE CHARGES AND SECURITY DEPOSITS




     3.1 BASE MONTHLY RENT: Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Lease Term. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without prior written or
oral demand in advance on the first day of each calendar month, as
bass monthly rent. The amount set forth as “Base Monthly
Rent” in Article I.



     3.2 ADDITIONAL RENT: Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and continuing throughout the
Lease Term, in addition to the Base Monthly Rent, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord as additional rent (the “Additional Rent”) all Building Operating Expenses (as defined in Article 13). Payment
shall be made by one of the following methods: Landlord may bill to Tenant, on a periodic basis not more frequently
than monthly, such expenses (or group of expenses) as paid or incurred by Landlord, and Tenant shall pay
such expenses within ten days after receipt of a written bill therefore from Landlord; and/or Landlord may budget the
annual projected expenses and bill to Tenant on a monthly basis, one-twelfth of the annual amount. If Landlord
elects the latter of the alternatives, Landlord shall reconcile the budgeted amounts with the actual amounts on an
annual basis during the first quarter of the subsequent year and bill Tenant for any additional amounts or credit
Tenant any overpayments against future Additional Rent amounts.



     3.3
LATE CHARGE AND INTEREST ON RENT IN DEFAULT: Tenant acknowledges
that the late payment by Tenant of any monthly installment of Base Monthly Rent or any
Additional Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expense not contemplated under this Lease, the exact
amounts of which are extremely difficult or impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will include, without
limitation, administration and collection costs and processing and
accounting expenses. If any installment of Base Monthly
Rent or Additional Rent is not received



-2-









 




by Landlord from Tenant within six calendar days after the same
becomes due, tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to six percent of the
amounts due and not so paid. Landlord and Tenant agree that this late charge represents a reasonable estimate of
such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for the anticipated loss Landlord would suffer by reason
of Tenant’s failure to make timely payment. In no event shall this provision for a late charge be deemed to grant to
Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to pay any rental installment or prevent Landlord from
exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant’s failure to pay each rental installment due under
this Lease when due. If any rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of six calendar days, then, in addition to such
late charge. Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any rent that is not so paid from said sixth day at the then
maximum rate of interest not prohibited by Law until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such late charge shall be
payable on the first such failure to pay Base Monthly Rent or
Additional Rent in any twelve (12) month period
unless Landlord shall have given Tenant notice of such failure to pay and Tenant fails to pay such Base Monthly Rent
or Additional Rent within five (5) days of such notice.




     3.4 PAYMENT OF RENT: All rent shall be paid without any
abatement, deduction or offset for any reason whatsoever, to Landlord at such address as Landlord may
designate from time to time. Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent shall be prorated at
the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term. The failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Rent as required
pursuant to this Lease when due shall be treated the same as a failure by Tenant to pay Base Monthly Rent when due,
and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant
as Landlord would have if Tenant failed
to pay the Base Monthly Rent when due.



     3.5 SECURITY DEPOSIT: Upon signing this Lease, Tenant shall
immediately deposit with Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 as the “Security Deposit” as
security for the performance by Tenant of the terms of this Lease and not as prepayment of rent. Landlord may apply such
portion or portions of the Security Deposit as are reasonably necessary for the following purposes: (i) to remedy
any default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) by Tenant in the payment of Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent
or a late charge or interest on defaulted rent; (ii) to repair damage to the Leased Premises caused by Tenant; (iii)
to clean and repair the Leased Premises following their surrender to Landlord if not surrendered in the condition
required pursuant to the provisions of Article 2; and (iv) to remedy any other default of Tenant to the extent permitted by
Law including, without limitation, paying in full on Tenant’s behalf any sums claimed by materialmen or
contractors of Tenant to be owing to them by Tenant for work done or improvements made at Tenant’s request to the Leased
Premises. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. If Landlord transfers the
Building during the Lease Term, Landlord may pay the Security Deposit to any subsequent owner in conformity with the
California Civil Code, in which event the transferring landlord shall be released from all liability for
the return of the Security Deposit. In no event shall the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, be considered prepaid
rent.



     3.6 LETTER OF CREDIT: As additional consideration for Landlord’s
entering into this Lease and performing under its terms and
conditions, Tenant agrees to
provide Landlord with an irrevocable letter of credit in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in the amount of Two
Million, Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand ($2,250,000.00) Dollars. Such Letter of Credit shall be annually
renewed and Tenant shall provide Landlord with such Letter of Credit for a minimum period of Five years
commencing with the Commencement Date and Expiring at the end of the Sixtieth month thereafter if, and only if,
Tenant has not been in material default have the Lease or its terms beyond applicable notice and cure periods. Such Letter of
Credit shall be reduced by Twenty (20%) Percent of its original face amount ($450,000.00) on each anniversary date
of the Commencement Date such that by the end of the sixtieth month of the Lease Term, the remaining amount of the
Letter of Credit shall be cancelled. In the event of a material default beyond applicable notice and cure periods
on the part of Tenant during the term of the Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit amount shall be renewed at the level
existing at the time of said material default and shall be renewed
each year of the Lease Term at such level during the
remainder of the Lease Term. The Letter of Credit shall have the following provisions:



          1) In the event a material default beyond applicable notice and
cure periods by Tenant has occurred and is continuing, Landlord shall be entitled to make a draw for
the sum of the face amount of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof,



          2) Landlord shall be entitled to make a draw for the sum of the
face amount of the Letter of Credit in the event Tenant fails, within 30 days prior to the expiration
of the existing Letter of Credit, to deliver a new Letter of Credit
to Landlord in the amount agreed upon under the
terms of this Lease.



          3) The Letter to Credit shall be transferable in whole but
not in part to a new owner and Landlord.



          4) Partial drawing shall be allowed.



          5) The Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs
and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce
Publication 500.



          6) The Letter of Credit shall be from a US National Bank
(reasonably acceptable to Landlord) with a branch located in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area.


It is hereby agreed between Landlord and Tenant that any amounts
drawn on the Letter of Credit by Landlord shall be used by Landlord to satisfy Tenant’s breach of the Lease and/or to
reimburse Landlord for damages occasioned by a breach of the Lease which may include, without limitation, the
following: (a) Landlord’s brokerage commissions with respect to the Lease; (b) Landlord’s Tenant Improvement Costs
pursuant to Exhibit C of the Lease; and (c) Landlord’s legal expenses occasioned by the breach. It is
expressly agreed, however, that the foregoing shall not in any way modify the Letter of Credit nor create any defense or
excuse for the bank paying all or any portion of the Letter of Credit upon Landlord complying with the draw
requirements set forth in the Letter of Credit. Should Landlord inadvertently draw down the Letter of Credit more than is
necessary to cure such Lease breaches, such excess shall be added to
the Security Deposit under Article 3.5
above.

attempted subletting, assignment or encumbrance
without Landlord’s prior written consent, at Landlord’s election,
shall constitute a default by Tenant under the terms
of this Lease. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any person or
entity other than Tenant, or the acceptance of

Landlord hereby gives its consent to sublet the premises commonly

consolidation, non-bankruptcy reorganization, or
government action, or (c) a purchaser of substantially all of

percent of all assignment consideration or excess rentals to be paid

          (1) If Tenant assigns its interest under the Lease and if all or a
portion of the consideration for such
assignment is to be paid by the assignee at the time of the
assignment, that Tenant shall have paid to Landlord and
Landlord shall have received an amount equal to fifty percent of the

to receive all or a portion of the
consideration for such assignment in future installments, that Tenant
and Tenant’s assignee shall have entered into a
written agreement with and for the benefit of Landlord satisfactory
to Landlord and its counsel whereby Tenant and
Tenant’s assignee jointly agree to pay to Landlord an amount equal

and Tenant’s sublessee jointly agree to pay to Landlord fifty percent
of all excess rentals to be paid by such sublessee
as and when such excess rentals are so paid after subtracting
Tenant’s Assignment/Subletting Costs.



     7.5 ASSIGNMENT CONSIDERATION AND EXCESS RENTALS DEFINED: For
purposes of
this article, the term “Assignment Consideration” shall mean
all consideration to be paid by the Assignee as
consideration for such assignment, and the term “Excess
Rentals” shall mean all consideration to be paid by the
Sublessee in excess of the rent to be paid by said
Sublessee/Sublessor for the premises subleased for the same period.
It is specifically intended and agreed that this provision is
intended to be a fifty percent profit sharing clause, such
that Tenant and Landlord shall share and share alike in any
profit (after reasonable costs of subletting or assignment)
as a result of any transfer of an interest in the Lease or the
Leased Premises or any other property, as more
particularly described herein. In the event Tenant or Tenant’s
successors sublease a portion of the Leased Premises,
“Excess Rentals” shall be calculated by subtracting the rent
payable by the Sublessor for the portion of the Leased
Premises so sublet from all consideration to be paid by such
Sublessee. Rent payable by the Sublessor for the
portion of the Leased Premises so sublet shall be calculated
by multiplying the Base Monthly Rent payable by the
Sublessor for the Leased Premises leased by such Sublessor by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the area in
square feet subleased and the denominator of which is the
total floor area of the Leased Premises leased by such
Sublessor also in square feet. Tenant and Tenant’s Successors
agree that fifty percent of any Assignment
Consideration and/or Excess Rentals hereunder after
subtracting Tenant’s Assignment/Subletting Costs shall be the
property of Landlord and fifty percent of such shall be the
property of Tenant.



     7.6
PAYMENTS: All payments required by this Article to be made to
Landlord shall be made in cash in full as
and when they become due. At the time
Tenant, Tenant’s assignee or sublessee makes each such payment to
Landlord, Tenant or Tenant’s assignee or sublessee, as the case
may be, shall deliver to Landlord an itemized statement in reasonable detail showing the method by which the amount due Landlord was calculated and certified by the
party making such payment as true and correct. Landlord may require that all payments of Excess Rentals and/or
Assignment Consideration to be made hereunder be made directly to Landlord by such Transferee.



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



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

policies required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this
article.




        D. The Commercial General Liability insurance carried by Tenant
shall specifically insure the performance
by Tenant of the Indemnification provisions set forth in Article

the insurance coverages and policies as required
above, by the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord shall have
the right but not the obligation to acquire such
coverages and policies on behalf of Tenant at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense, and Tenant shall, upon demand by
Landlord, reimburse to Landlord, all costs associated with
the premiums, acquisition, and administration of such
coverages and policies, and such costs shall be a Building

insuring Landlord (and such others as Landlord may designate)
against loss from physical damage to the Building
with coverage of not less than one hundred percent of the full
actual replacement cost thereof and against loss of rents
for a period of not less than twelve months. Such property damage

requirement on Landlord’s behalf to do so, (i) may be written in

commonly excluded from such coverage by Landlord’s then property
damage insurer; (ii) may provide coverage for
physical damage to the improvements so insured for up to the
entire full actual replacement cost thereof; (iii) may be
endorsed to include (or separate policies which may be carried to
cover) loss or damage caused by any additional perils
against which Landlord may elect to insure, including earthquake
and/or flood; (iv) may provide coverage for loss of
rents for a period of up to twelve months; and/or (v) may contain
“deductibles” per occurrence in an amount reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Landlord shall not be required to
cause such insurance to cover any of Tenant’s personal
property, inventory and trade fixtures, or any modifications,
alterations or improvements made or constructed by
Tenant to or within the Leased Premises.



        B. Landlord shall maintain Commercial General Liability insurance
insuring Landlord (and such others as
are designated by Landlord) against liability for personal
injury, bodily injury, death, and damage to property
occurring in, on or about, or resulting from the use or occupancy
of the Project, or any portion thereof, with
combined single limit coverage of at least Two Million Dollars.
Landlord may carry such greater coverage as
Landlord or Landlord’s Lender, insurance broker or advisor or
counsel may from time to time determine is reasonably
necessary for the adequate protection of Landlord and the
Project.



        C. Landlord may maintain any other insurance which in the opinion
of its lender, insurance broker or advisor, or legal counsel is reasonably prudent to carry under the
given circumstances.



     9.3
MUTUAL WAIVER OF SUBROGATION: Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Lease,
Landlord hereby releases Tenant, and Tenant hereby
releases Landlord and its respective partners and officers,
agents,
employees and servants, from any and all liability for
loss, damage or injury to the property of the other in or
about
the Leased Premises which is caused by or results from a
peril or event or happening which would be covered by
insurance required to be carried under the terms of this
Lease, or is covered by insurance actually carried and in
force
at the time of the loss, by the party sustaining such
loss.

the insurance proceeds (if the loss is covered by insurance) and
the issuance of all necessary governmental permits,
Landlord shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion
the restoration of the Leased Premises, to the extent
then allowed by Law, to substantially the same condition in which
the Leased Premises existed as of the time just
prior to such damage or destruction. Landlord’s obligation to
restore shall be limited to the Leased Premises and
interior improvements constructed by Landlord. Landlord shall
have no obligation to restore any other improvements
to the Leased Premises or any of Tenant’s personal property,
inventory or trade fixtures. Upon completion of the
restoration by Landlord, Tenant shall forthwith replace or fully

and collectible insurance actually carried by Landlord and in force at the time of such damage or
destruction (an “insured peril”) to such an extent that the
estimated cost to restore the Building exceeds the lesser
of (i) the insurance proceeds (including deductibles)
available



-10-

percent of the then actual estimated replacement cost
thereof;




          B. The Building is damaged by an uninsured peril.



          D. The Building is damaged by any peril and, because of the
Laws then in force, the Building (i)

either A or B above, Tenant may but is not required to
elect to contribute the shortfall of proceeds within thirty
(30) days of Landlord’s written notice of such shortfall, in
which event Landlord shall restore the Leased Promises and
shall not have the right to terminate the Lease. In no
event shall Landlord have the right to terminate the Lease if
the damage to the Leased Premises is relatively minor
(e.g. repair or restoration which would cost less than ten
(10%) percent of the replacement cost of the Leased
Premises.



     10.3 TENANT’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE: If the Leased Premises are
damaged by any peril and Landlord
does not elect to terminate this Lease or is not entitled to
terminate this Lease pursuant to this Article, then as soon
as reasonably practicable, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with

reasonable opinion of Landlord’s architect or construction consultant, the restoration of the Leased
Premises cannot be substantially completed within
nine (9) months after the date of such notice from Landlord; or



          B. The Leased Premises are damaged by any peril within nine months
of the last day of the Lease
Term and, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s architect or
construction consultant, the restoration of the Leased

the date such restoration is commenced.



     10.4 TENANT’S WAIVER: Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions
of Article 10.3 above, captioned
 “Tenant’s Right to Terminate”, are intended to supersede and replace
the provisions contained in California Civil
Code, Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and California Civil Code, Section
1934, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives
the provisions of said Civil Code Sections and the provisions of any
successor Code Sections or similar Laws hereinafter enacted.



     10.5 ABATEMENT OF RENT: In the event of damage to the Leased Premises
which does not result in the
termination of this Lease, the Base Monthly Rent (and any Additional

damage.



ARTICLE 11

CONDEMNATION




     11.1 RIGHT TO TERMINATE: Subject to Article 11.3, Tenant and
Landlord each shall have the option to

greater than thirty three (33%) percent of the Leased Premises
are so taken.



     11.2 INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK



     11.3 TEMPORARY TAKING: If any portion of the Leased Premises is
temporarily taken for one year or
less, this Lease shall remain in effect. If more than 33% of the

expiration of the Lease Term, then Landlord and
Tenant shall each independently have the option to terminate this
Lease, effective on the date possession is taken by
the condemnor.



     11.4 RESTORATION AND ABATEMENT OF RENT: If any part of the Leased Premises is taken by
condemnation and this Lease is not terminated, then Landlord shall
repair any damage occasioned thereby to the remainder of the Leased Premises to a condition reasonably suitable for
Tenant’s continued operations, to the extent
practicable. As of the date possession is taken by the condemning
authority, (i) the Base Monthly Rent shall be
reduced in the same proportion that the area of that part of the
Leased Premises so taken bears to the area of the
Leased Premises immediately prior in such taking, and (ii) Tenant’s
Proportionate Share shall be appropriately
adjusted.



     11.5 DIVISION OF CONDEMNATION AWARD: Any award made for any
condemnation of the Project,
the Building, the Common Areas or the Leased Premises, or any portion
thereof, shall belong to and be paid to
Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right,
title and interest in any such award. Tenant shall,
however, be entitled to make a claim for a separate award for
Tenant’s fixtures and equipment, moving expenses, loss
of goodwill and the unamortized portion of improvements paid for by
Tenant.



ARTICLE 12

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES




     12.1 EVENTS OF TENANT’S DEFAULT: The occurrence of any of the
following shall constitute a
default by Tenant: (a) failure to pay rent or other charges
when due where such failure is not cured within five days
after written notice of nonpayment; (b) failure to perform
any other provision of this Lease within the time periods
provided where such failure is not cured within thirty (30)
days after written notice of such failure or such longer
period as is reasonably necessary to effect such cure.



     12.2. LANDLORD’S REMEDIES: Landlord shall have the following
remedies (which are cumulative and not
exclusive and are in addition to any remedies now or later
allowed by law) if Tenant is in default beyond applicable
notice and cure periods. Landlord may terminate Tenant’s
right to possession of the Premises at any time. No act
by Landlord other than giving notice to Tenant shall
terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the
Premises, or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord’s
initiative to protect Landlords interest under the terms of



-11-









 




this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenants right to
possession. Upon termination of Tenant’s right to
possession, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant: (1) the
worth of the unpaid rent that had been earned at the
time of termination of Tenant’s right to possession; (2) the worth
of the amount of the unpaid rent that would have
been earned after the date of termination of Tenant’s right to
possession after subtracting the amount Tenant
reasonably proves could reasonably be avoided by Landlord; (3) any
other amount, including but not limited to
expenses incurred to relet the premises, court, attorney and
collection costs, necessary to compensate Landlord for
any all losses caused by Tenant’s default. “The worth,” as used in
this article, is to be computed by allowing interest
at the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law.




     12.3 LANDLORD’S DEFAULT AND TENANT’S REMEDIES: In the event Landlord
fails to perform
any of its obligations under this Lease. Landlord shall nevertheless
not be in default under the terms of this Lease until such time as Tenant shall have first given Landlord written
notice specifying the nature of such failure to perform
its obligations, and then only after Landlord shall have had a
reasonable period of time following its receipt of such
notice within which to perform such obligations. In the event of
Landlord’s default as above set forth, then, and only
then, Tenant may then proceed at law to compel Landlord to perform
its obligations and/or to recover damages
proximately caused by such failure to perform. In the event Landlord
fails to perform any of its obligations herein or
under the Lease within such reasonable time period (except in case of
emergency posing an immediate threat to
persons or property, in which case no prior notice shall be
required), then Tenant shall have the right but not the
obligation to cure such default and to demand reimbursement by
Landlord for the reasonable cost of such cure
with interest thereon at the rate of ten (10%) percent per annum or
the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is less,
from the date of the expenditure until repaid. Nothing in this
Article 12.3 shall entitle Tenant to offset rent or deduct
such amounts from the Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent due under
the terms of this Lease.



     12.4
LIMITATION ON TENANT’S RECOURSE: Tenant agrees that the
obligations of Landlord under
this Lease shall not constitute personal obligations of the officers,
directors, trustees, partners, joint venturers,
members, owners, stockholders, or other principals of any business
entity which holds title to the Project. Tenant
shall have recourse only to the assets of the Project (as shown on
the Site Plan) for the satisfaction of such
obligations and not to the other assets of any individual owner such
officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint
venturers, members, owners, stockholders or principals. Additionally,
if Landlord is a corporation, partnership or
limited liability corporation, then Tenant covenants and agrees:



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



          B. No service of process shall be made against any partner,
stockholder, or officer of Landlord
except for the sole purpose of securing jurisdiction over the entity;
and



          C. No writ of execution shall be levied against the assets of any
partner or officer of Landlord other
than to the extent of his interest in the assets of the Project.
Tenant further agrees that each of the foregoing
covenants and agreements shall be enforceable by Landlord and by any
partner or officer of Landlord and shall be
applicable to any actual or alleged misrepresentation or
non-disclosure made respecting this Lease or the Leased
Premises or any actual or alleged failure, default or breach of my
covenant or agreement either expressly or
implicitly contained in this Lease or imposed by statute or at common
law.



     12.5 TENANT’S WAIVER: Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions
of Article 12.3 above are intended
to supersede and replace the provisions of California Civil Code
1932(1), 1941 and 1942, and accordingly, Tenant
hereby waives the provisions of Section 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the
California Civil Code and/or any similar or
successor Law regarding Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease or to
make repairs and deduct the expenses of such
repairs from the rent due under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any
right of redemption or relief from forfeiture
under the Laws of the State of California, or under any other present
or future Law, in the event Tenant is evicted or
Landlord takes possession of the Leased Premises by reason of any
default by Tenant.



ARTICLE 13

GENERAL PROVISIONS




     13.1 TAXES ON TENANT’S PROPERTY: Tenant shall pay before delinquency
any and all taxes, assessments, license fees, use fees, permit fees and public charges of
whatever nature or description levied, assessed or imposed against Tenant or Landlord by a governmental agency arising out

Premises, Tenant’s use (or estimated use) of public facilities or services or Tenant’s consumption (or estimated
consumption) of public utilities, energy, water or
other resources. On demand by Landlord. Tenant shall furnish Landlord
with satisfactory evidence of these payments.
If any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges are levied
against Landlord, Landlord’s property, the Building
or the Project, or if the assessed value of the Building or the
Project is increased by the inclusion therein of a value
placed upon same, then Landlord, after giving written notice to
Tenant, shall have the right, regardless of the validity
thereof, to pay such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge and bill
Tenant, as Additional Rent, the amount of such
taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so paid on Tenant’s behalf.
Tenant shall, within ten days from the date it receives an invoice from Landlord setting forth the amount of such
taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so levied,
pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount set forth in said
invoice. Failure, by Tenant to pay the amount so
invoiced within said ten day period shall be conclusively deemed a
default by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall
have the right, and with Landlord’s full cooperation if Tenant is not
then in default under the terms of this Lease, to
bring suit in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover from the
taxing authority the amount of any such taxes,
assessment, fee or public charge so paid.



     13.2 HOLDING OVER: This Lease shall terminate without further notice
on the Lease Expiration Date (as set
forth in Article 1) as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms
of the Lease. Any holding over after the
expiration of the Lease shall be deemed an unlawful detainer of the
Leased Premises unless Landlord has consented to
same in writing. Any holding over by Tenant with written permission
of Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy
from month to month, on the same terms and conditions herein
specified insofar as applicable, except that the Base
Monthly Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred
fifty percent of the Box Monthly Rent payable
during the last full month immediately preceding such period of
holding over.

     13.3 SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES: This Lease is subject and
subordinate to all underlying
ground leases and to all mortgages and deeds of trust which affect
the Building and are of public record as of the Effective Date of this Lease, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof.
However, if the lessor under any such ground lease or any Lender
holding any such mortgage or deed of trust shall
advise Landlord that it desires or requires this Lease to be made
prior and superior thereto, then, upon written request
of Landlord to Tenant. Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge
and deliver any and all documents or instruments
which Landlord and such lessor or Lender deem necessary or desirable
to make this Lease prior thereto. Tenant hereby
consents to Landlord’s ground leasing the land underlying the
Building and/or encumbering the Building as security
for future loans on such terms as Landlord shall desire, all of
which future ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust
shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease. However, if any
lessor under any such future ground lease or any
Lender holding such future mortgage or deed of trust shall desire or
require that this Lease be made subject and subordinate to such future ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust, then
Tenant agrees, within twenty (20) days after
Landlord’s written request therefore, to execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Landlord any and all documents or as requested by Landlord or such lessor or Lender as may be necessary or
proper to assure the subordination of this Lease
to such future ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust; but only if
such lessor or Lender agrees to recognize Tenant’s
rights under this Lease and not to disturb Tenant’s quiet possession
of the Leased Premises so long as Tenant is not
in default under this Lease. Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver
such subordination agreement within twenty (20)
days after Landlord’s request therefore (after the passage of an
additional five (5) day cure period after written notice to
Tenant of such failure) shall be a material default by Tenant under
this Lease, and Landlord shall have all of the
rights and remedies available to Landlord as Landlord would
otherwise have in the case of any other material default
by Tenant, including the right to terminate this Lease and sue for
damages proximately caused thereby, it being
agreed and understood by Tenant that Tenant’s failure to so deliver
such subordination agreement in a timely manner
could result in Landlord being unable to perform committed
obligations to other third parties which were made by
Landlord in reliance upon this covenant of Tenant. Landlord and
Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant
to this Article may be relied upon by any Lender or purchaser or
prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the
Project, or any interest therein. Landlord shall, within ninety (90)
days of written request by Tenant following full
execution of this Lease, use its best efforts to cause all mortgages,
lenders, and other parties currently holding a
security interest affecting the Leased Premises to execute a
recognition and non-disturbance agreement which (i)
provides that this Lease shall not be terminated so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease and (ii)
recognizes all of Tenant’s rights hereunder.



     13.4 TENANT’S ATTORNMENT UPON FORECLOSURE: Tenant shall, upon request, attorn (i) to
any purchaser of the Building at any foreclosure sale or private
sale conducted pursuant to any security instrument encumbering the Building, (ii) to any grantee or transferee designated
in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure of any
security interest encumbering the Building, or (iii) to the lessor
under any underlying ground lease of the land underlying the Building, should such ground lease be terminated; provided

Tenant’s rights under this Lease.

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



     13.6 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES: Tenant will, following any request(s) by Landlord, promptly execute
and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate (i) certifying that
this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect,
or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and
certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force
and effect, (ii) stating the date to which the rent and other
charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii) acknowledging that
there are not, to Tenant’s knowledge, any uncured defaults on the
part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such
defaults if any are claimed, and (iv) certifying such other
information about this Lease as may be reasonably requested
by Landlord. Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such estoppel
certificate within ten days after Landlord’s request
therefore (after the passage of an additional five (5) day cure
period after written notice to Tenant of such failure) shall
be a material default by Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall
have all of the rights and remedies available to
Landlord as Landlord would otherwise have in the case of any other
material default by Tenant, including the right to
terminate this Lease and sue for damages proximately caused thereby,
it being agreed and understood by Tenant that
Tenant’s failure to so deliver such estoppel certificate in a
timely manner could result in Landlord being unable to
perform committed obligations to other third parties which were made by Landlord in reliance upon this covenant of
Tenant. Landlord and Tenant intend that any statement delivered pursuant to this Article may be relied upon by any
Lender or purchaser or prospective Lender or purchaser of the
Building, the Project, or any interest therein.

action, arbitration proceeding or legal proceeding alleging a breach
of any provision of this Lease to
recover rent, to terminate this Lease, or to enforce,
protect, determine or establish any term or covenant of this
Lease or rights or duties hereunder of either party, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the
non-prevailing party as a part of such action or proceeding, or in
a separate action for that purpose brought within one year from
the determination of such proceeding, all reasonable
expenses incurred by the prevailing party. In the event that
Landlord shall be required to retain counsel to enforce any

demand. Landlord may enforce this provision by requiring Tenant
to pay such fees and costs as a condition to curing
its default.



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



          A. REAL PROPERTY TAXES: The term “Real Property Tax” or “Real
Property Taxes”
shall each mean (i) all taxes, assessments, levies and other
charges of any kind or nature whatsoever, general and special (including all installments of principal and interest
required to pay any general or special assessments for public
improvements and any increases resulting from reassessments
caused by any change in ownership or new
construction), now or hereafter imposed by any governmental or
quasi-governmental authority or special district
having the direct or indirect power to tax or levy assessments,
which are levied or assessed for whatever reason
against the Project or any portion thereof, or Landlord’s
interest therein, or the fixtures, equipment and other property
of Landlord that is an integral part of the Project and located
thereon, or Landlord’s business of owning, leasing or
managing the Project or the gross receipts, income or rentals
from the Project; (ii) all charges, levies or fees imposed
by any governmental authority against Landlord by reason of or
based upon the use of or number of parking spaces
within the Project, the amount of public services or public
utilities used or consumed (e.g. water, gas, electricity,
sewage or surface water disposal) at the Project, the number of
persons employed by tenants of the Project, the size
(whether measured in area, volume or number of tenants) or the
value of the Project, or the type of use or uses
conducted within the Project; and (iii) all costs and fees

contesting any Real Property Tax and in negotiating with public
authorities as to any Real Property Tax. If, at any
time during the Lease Term, the taxation or assessment of the
Project prevailing as of the Effective Date of this
Lease shall be altered so that in lieu of or in addition to any
Real Property Tax described above there shall be levied,
assessed or imposed (whether by reason of a change in the method
of taxation or assessment creation of a new tax or
charge, or any other cause) an alternate, substitute, or
additional tax or charge (i) on the value, size, use or occupancy
of the Project or Landlord’s interest therein or (ii) on or
measured by the gross receipts, income or rentals from the
Project, or on Landlord’s business of owning, leasing or
managing the Project or (iii) computed in any manner with
respect to the operation of the Project, then any such tax or
charge, however designated, shall be included within the

Lease. If any Real Property Tax is partly based
upon property or rents unrelated to the Project, then only that
part of such Real Property Tax that is fairly allocable
to the Project shall be included within the meaning of the terms

This Option to Renew Lease (“Option”) is entered into by, and between RENCO

SYSTEMS, INCORPORATED, A Delaware Corporation (“Tenant”) to be effective as of
the date the last of the designated signatories to this Option shall have
executed this Option, with respect to the following described Lease (the
“Lease”) for the following described premises (the ‘Leased Premises”):




     “That certain Lease dated as of April 6, 2000, by and between Landlord and
Tenant for the lease of approximately 139,311 square feet in those certain
buildings consisting of 87,544 and 51,767 square feet, more or less, located at
46939 and 47071 Bayside Parkway, Fremont, CA 94538.



1. For and in consideration of Tenant entering into the Lease and other
valuable consideration, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an option to renew the
Lease for an additional term of Five (5) years (the “Renewal Term”) commencing
on the expiration of the Lease (the “Renewal Commencement Date”) and ending
Five) years thereafter (Renewal Expiration Date”).




2. The lease of the Leased Premises For the Renewal Term shall be on the same
terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease, except:




     A. That the rental for the Leased Premises during the Renewal
Term shall be as set forth below in Paragraph 5, and



     B. That the Security Deposit shall be increased to the rental
amount determined in Paragraph 5 (the “Increased Security Deposit
Amount”) plus the sum of Five Hundred ($500) Dollars.



     C. Exhibit “C” shall be inoperative in that there shall be no Tenant
Improvement Allowance for the modification of the interior of the Leased
Premises for the option period.



3. Provided that Tenant shall not have been in default under the Lease
prior to the exercise of this Option as defaults are defined in Section 4
below, Tenant shall notify Landlord of Tenant’s exercise of its right to
renew the Lease for Renewal Term only by giving to Landlord written
notice not sooner than seven (7) months prior to the Renewal Commencement Date and not later than five (5) months prior to the
Renewal Commencement Date (time is expressly of the essence to
Landlord). Any attempted exercise of this Option made other than within
the time period stated or in the manner stated shall be void and of no
force or effect.




4. This Option to Renew Lease is expressly conditioned upon Tenant
having performed each and every of its covenants under the Lease at
all times during the entire Lease Term in a timely fashion (time being made
expressly of the essence), with the full and complete understanding that
if, at any time during the Lease Term, Tenant shall fail to perform any of
its covenants or obligations under the Lease in a timely fashion, this
Option shall terminate without notice and be of no further
effect irrespective of whether or not Tenant shall have cured such
breach,




 









 






Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s promise to faithfully perform each of its
covenants and obligations under the Lease in a timely fashion was material
Inducement to Landlord in granting to Tenant this Option to Renew Lease.




     For purposes of this Option to Renew Lease Tenant shall be deemed to have paid
the Base Monthly Rent according to the terms of the Lease if Tenant shall have
paid such monthly rental within six (6) days of being notified by Landlord of
such rental being due and unpaid.



     With respect to matters other than monies due Landlord, Tenant shall be deemed
to have performed according to the terms and conditions of the Lease if Tenant
shall have commenced a cure within ten (10) days of having been notified of a
default under such Lease and shall have completed such cure within thirty (30)
days thereafter or, in the event such a default is not curable within said 30
day period, Tenant shall have diligently pursued such cure to the reasonable
satisfaction of Landlord.



5. If Tenant shall have properly and timely exercised its right to
extend the term of the Lease and provided that Tenant shall not have been
in default under the terms of the Lease as of the Renewal Commencement
Date, the term of the Lease shall be so extended for such Renewal Term on
the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease; provided, however,
there shall be no Tenant Improvement Allowance Letter and the Base
Monthly Rent for each month of the first Twelve (12) months Renewal
Term shall be calculated as follows: The new Base Monthly Rent of the
Renewal Term shall be the greater of: (i) the Base Monthly Rent being paid
by Tenant to Landlord during the final full month of the initial Lease
Term, or (ii) the Then Market Rental Rate for the Lease Premises.




6. For purposes of this Option to Renew Lease, the term “Then Monthly
Market Rental Rate” shall be determined by mutual agreement between
Landlord and Tenant or, in the event such agreement cannot be made within
ten (10) days from the date Tenant shall have exercised this Option,
Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a real estate appraiser with at
least five (5) years full-time commercial/Industrial appraisal experience
in Santa Clara County to appraise and determine the fair market monthly
rental rate the Leased Premises, in their then existing condition for the
use specified in the Lease could be leased for, on the same terms and
conditions set forth in the Lease, to a qualified tenant ready, willing and
able to lease the Leased Premises for a term equal to the Renewal Term.
Notwithstanding the above, however, the appraisers shall take into
consideration the value of the Tenant in place, and the avoided costs of
retaining an existing Tenant in His/Her efforts to determine a fair and
representative “Then Monthly Market Rental Rate. If either party does not
appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days after the other party has given
notice of the name of its appraiser, the other party can then apply to the
President of the Santa Clara County Real Estate Board or the presiding
Judge of the Superior Court of that County for the selection of a second
appraiser who meets the qualifications stated above. The failing party
shall bear the cost of appointing the second appraiser and of paying the
second appraiser’s fee. The two appraisers shall attempt to establish the
Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises. If the two
appraisers are unable to agree on the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for
the Leased Premises within ten (10) days after the second appraiser has
been selected or appointed, then the two appraisers shall attempt to
select a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated above. If they
fail to agree on a third appraiser, either party can follow the
above procedure for having an appraiser appointed by the Real Estate Board or a
judiciary. Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the cost
of appointing the third appraiser and of paying the third appraiser’s
fee. Unless the three appraisers are able to agree on the Then Monthly Market
Rental Rate for the Leased Premises within ten (10) days after
the selection or appointment of the third appraiser, the two
appraisal amounts being calculated most closely together, after having
discarded the appraisal amount which most greatly varies from the
other two appraisal amounts, shall be added together then divided by two (2).
The resulting rental amount shall be defined as the Then Monthly Market Rental
Rate for the Leased Premises. In no event, however, shall the resulting Then
Monthly Market Rental Rate be less than the Base Monthly Rent paid during the
final full month of the Initial Lease Term. If the Then Monthly Market
Rental is determined by appraisal and if Tenant does not, in Tenant’s
sole discretion, approve the rental amount established thereby, then Tenant
may rescind its exercise of the renewal option by giving Landlord written
notice of such election to rescind within ten (10) days after the Then
Monthly Rental has been established. If Tenant rescinds its exercise of the
renewal option, then (i) the Lease shall terminate on the date the Lease
Term would otherwise have expired absent Tenant’s exercise of the renewal
option, or at Landlord’s option, may be extended by ninety (90) days, and (ii)
Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses of all appraisals.




     The Base Monthly Rent shall be adjusted upward (increased) at the anniversary
of each year of the extended lease term commencing with the beginning of the
Thirteenth Month of the extended lease term, by the amount of Three Percent of
the Base Monthly Rent calculated for the prior Twelve Month period. Such
increased rental amount shall be effective during the subsequent Twelve (12)
month period of the extended term.



7. This Option to Renew is subject and subordinate to any underlying ground
leases and to all mortgages and deeds of trust which affect the Building and
are of public record as of the Effective Date of this Option to Renew Lease,
and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions
thereof. However, if the lessor under any such ground lease or any Lender
holding any such mortgage or deed of trust shall advise Landlord that it
desires or requires this Option to Renew Lease to be made prior and superior
thereto, then, upon written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall
promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents or instruments
which Landlord and such lessor or Lender deem necessary or desirable to make
this Option to Renew Lease prior thereto. Tenant hereby consents to Landlord’s
ground leasing the land underlying the Building and/or encumbering the Building
as security for future loans on such terms as Landlord shall desire, all of
which future ground leases, mortgages or deeds of trust shall be subject and
subordinate to this Option to Renew Lease. However, if any lessor under any
such future ground lease or any Lender holding such future mortgage or deed of
trust shall desire or require that this Option to Renew Lease by made subject
and subordinate to such future ground lease,
mortgage or deed of trust, then Tenant agrees, within twenty (20) days after
Landlord’s written request therefore, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord any and all documents or instruments requested by Landlord or such
lessor or Lender as may be necessary or proper to assure the subordination of
this Option to Renew Lease to such future ground




 









 








lease, mortgage or deed of trust; but only if such lessor or Lender agrees to
recognize Tenant’s rights under this Option to Renew Lease so long as Tenant is
not in default under the Lease, or this Option to Renew Lease.




IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Option to Renew Lease on the
dates below set forth to be effective as of the date referenced above.

BAYSIDE TECHNOLOGY PARK

EXTERIOR, SIGNAGE STANDARDS




In an effort to encourage and maintain High Quality Architectural Signage
Standards and to also provide for good Tenant visibility, this Exterior Sign
Program has been adopted.




BUILDING MOUNTED SIGNAGE




MULTI-TENANT BUILDINGS




Exterior Wall signs are not permitted unless the building is designed to
accommodate signage in the design of the elevations. At this time
there are no
Multi-Tenant buildings with this design feature.




SINGLE TENANT BUILDINGS




Custom Logos, Type styles and Colors can be recommended for approval if the
following criteria is observed.




Scale Plans showing the dimensioned sizes, square footage used, placement,
colors, materials and finishes must be submitted to RENCO PROPERTIES, INC. for
approval by the review board prior to acquiring City Sign Permits.




The overall look of the building elevation must be considered when selecting
size, colors, materials and finishes. Since there are many creative building
designs, what may look good on one building may not necessarily be appropriate
on another.




Buildings can be allowed One Sign Location facing each different street
frontage.




Bayside Technology Park is not a Retail environment, and only High Quality
Corporate Images are desired. However, your Custom Image is welcome as long as
it can be adapted to the building exterior as a Identification Mark and NOT a
BIG SIGN. Sign design, fabrication and installation should look clean and
contemporary, with attempts made to hide bolts, rivets and other fasteners.




The content of the Wall Sign is limited to the Corporate or Company Name, Logo,
Trademark, and/or Division Name. No description of Products or Services,
Slogans, Phone Numbers, Banners, or any other type of sign is permitted.
Shipping & Receiving Hours Signs located on the back of the
building are
exempt.

transparent faces which illuminate or solid opaque faces which create a halo
effect back illuminated against the building wall. Electrical raceways should
be hidden whenever possible. Exposed Neon is not desired in signage. However,
it could be used if incorporated with the building architectural design such as
in as restaurant exterior.




The following Square Footage GUIDELINES will help your designer. Define the
area by using eight or fewer perimeter lines and figure the Square Footage
Area.




VERY SHORT NAMES (5 Letters & Logo) can use 40 Square Feet.




SHORT NAMES (10
Letters & Logo) can use 50 Square Feet.




MEDIUM NAMES (15 Letters & Logo) can
use 60 Square Feet.




LONG NAMES (20 Letters & Logo) can use 70 Square Feet.




These guidelines are for signs on building walls that face into Bayside
Technology Park.




Signs that directly face Freeway 880 may be up to 35% larger than these
guidelines, with a maximum of 75 Square Feet.




INFORMATIONAL & DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE




MULTI-TENANT BUILDINGS




Informational signs are not permitted unless the building is designed to
accommodate this kind of signage in the design of the site plans. At this time
there are no Multi-Tenant buildings with this design feature. If a
Shipping/Receiving sign is necessary at a driveway entrance, it will be a sign
that is in keeping with the building design, with address numbers and arrows as
needed, but not a listing of tenants names.




Informational Signs By the
Street (15' setback is still required) Maximum panel
size is 18" tall x 32" wide, (which is 4 square feet), with the overall height
42" maximum. The signs should be made from painted aluminum and not, plywood,
as it not as durable.

BUILDINGS

Exterior Signage Standards

Page 3




Informational signs are permitted at the building driveways. The signs will be
in keeping with the building design, with address numbers and arrows as needed,
and can include the Corporate Name & Logo, and be in the corporate colors.




Informational Signs By the
Street (15' setback is still required) Maximum panel
size is 18" tall x 32" wide, (which is 4 sq. feet), with the
overall height 42"
maximum.




Directional Signs within the
parking areas Standard panel size is 18" tall x
32" wide, (which is 4 sq. feet), with the overall height 42". A Multi-Building
Campus with a single tenant may have larger directional signs up to 10 square
feet, like 40" tall x 36~ wide, with the overall height
60~ maximum. These
signs m~ not be located within 50 feet from any street frontage.




General Notes on Informational & Directional Signs




Informational & Directional Signs are not intended to be advertising signs, so
if there is heavy directional copy, the name and/or logo may have to be left
off, or kept small.




Directional signs with changeable or switchable panels can be approved if the
directory is recessed into the main sign face with screws showing.




These signs should be fabricated from aluminum and not plywood, as it not as
durable. Acrylic Polyurethane finishes in Semi-gloss finishes will provide 7 to
12 years of paint.




Informational & Directional Signs can be 2-sided as required.




Scale Plans showing the dimensioned sizes, square footage used, placement,
colors, materials and finishes must be submitted to RENCO PROPERTIES, INC. for
approval by the review board prior to acquiring City Sign Permits.




After the review board has given written approval, contact Fred Broumand at the
City of Fremont, (415) 790-6642. He is responsible for Exterior Sign Permits.
All exterior signs must be approved by the City of Fremont Planning & Building
Department and have a valid Sign Permit. This can be a 4-5 week approval
process if the sign is visible from Highway 880, Fremont Avenue or West Warren
Avenue. The planning staff may require these major streets locations to go
through their SPAR review process. On smaller streets within the park the
approval process can sometimes take just a few days. The City of Fremont
requires that all electrical signs have a UL label, a permit label and a
manufactures’ label.
