 A. The Premises currently leased by Tenant pursuant to the Lease consists of
32,256 rentable square feet commonly known as 1160 Bordeaux Drive, Sunnyvale, 12,584 rentable square feet commonly known as 155 B-2 Moffett Park Drive, Sunnyvale, and 41,472 rentable square feet commonly known as 1143 Borregas Avenue, Sunnyvale,
California for a total of 86,312 square feet. 
  
 B. The Lease
Term for said Premises currently expires on September 30, 2004. 
  
 C. Tenant and Landlord wish to amend the Lease on the Terms and Conditions set forth in this Third Amendment to Lease. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Lease Terms are amended as follows: 
  
 1. Lease Term: The Lease Term is extended to and including September
30, 2009. Article 1.3 is hereby amended such that the Lease Term shall end September 30, 2009. 
  
 2. Base Monthly Rent: Commencing October 1, 2004, Base Monthly Rent shall be as follows, and Article 1.4 is hereby amended to so provide: 
  

	
	October 1, 2004 through and including September 30, 2007:    Tenant pays Operating Expenses only.
	October 1, 2007 through and including September 30, 2009:    $43,156.00 per month – Base Monthly Rent plus Operating Expenses

  
 3. Security
Deposit: The Security Deposit shall be decreased, and Article 1.7 is hereby amended to provide for a decrease of $104,437.02 leaving a total security deposit in the amount of $43,156.00. The sum of $104,437.02 shall not be refunded to Tenant but
shall be credited by Landlord towards Tenant’s Base Monthly Rent and Operating Expenses beginning October 2004. 
  
 4. Option to Extend Lease Term: Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one option to extend the Lease Term for a five (5) year term commencing when the
prior term expires, under the following terms and conditions: 
  
 A. Exercise Dates: Tenant must give Landlord notice in writing of its exercise of the option in question no earlier than one hundred eighty (180) days before the date the Lease Term would end but for said exercise (the “Earliest
Exercise Date”) and no later than one hundred twenty (120) days before the date the Lease Term would end but for said exercise (the “Last Exercise Date”). 
  
 B. Conditions to Exercise of Option: Tenant’s rights to extend is conditioned upon and subject to each of the
following: 
  
 (1) In order to exercise its option to extend,
Tenant must give written notice of such election to Landlord and Landlord must receive same by the Last Exercise Date, but not prior to the Earliest Exercise Date. If property notification of the exercise of an option is not given and/or received,
such option shall automatically expire. Failure to exercise an option terminates that option and all subsequent options. Tenant acknowledges that because of the importance of Landlord of knowing no later than the Last Exercise Date whether or not
Tenant will exercise the option, the failure of Tenant to notify Landlord by the Last Exercise Date will conclusively be presumed an election by Tenant not to exercise the option. 







 (2) Tenant shall have no right to exercise an option (i) if Tenant is in Default beyond any cure period
provided in the Lease (if applicable) either on the date of exercise of the option or on the date on which the Lease would terminate absent exercise of the option or (ii) in the event that Landlord has given to Tenant three (3) or more notices of
separate Defaults during the 12 month period immediately preceding the exercise of the option, whether or not the Defaults are cured. The period of time within which an option may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of
Tenant’s inability to exercise an option because of the provisions of this Paragraph. 
  
 C. Creation of Extended Term: Upon the timely exercise of the option to extend and the commencement of the extended Term, all references in the Lease to the Term shall be considered to mean the Term as extended
by the exercise of the option, which shall be referred to herein as the “Extended Term”. 
  
 D. Options Personal: The option is personal to the Tenant, and cannot be assigned to or exercised by anyone other than the Tenant. The option can
only be exercised at a time when the Tenant is in full possession of the Premises and does not have any intent of thereafter assigning or subletting. 
  
 E. The Base Monthly Rent for the Option Period shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of the then fair market monthly rent determined as of the commencement
of the option period in question based upon like buildings with like improvements in the area. The Option Period shall contain no free rent and the Premises shall be taken “as-is”. If the parties are unable to agree upon the fair market
monthly rent for the Premises for the option period in question at least seventy-five (75) days prior to the commencement of the option period in question, then the fair market monthly rent shall be determined by appraisal conducted pursuant to
subparagraph F. 
  
 F. In the event it becomes necessary to
determine by appraisal the fair market rent of the Premises for the purpose of establishing the Base Monthly Rent during the Option Period, then such fair market monthly rent shall be determined by three (3) real estate appraisers, all of whom shall
be members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers with not less than five (5) years experience appraising real property (other than residential or agricultural property) located in Santa Clara County, California, in accordance with the
following procedures: 
  
 (1) The party demanding an appraisal
(the “Notifying Party”) shall notify the other party (the “Non-Notifying Party”) thereof by delivering a written demand for appraisal, which demand, to be effective, must give the name, address, and qualifications of an appraiser
selected by the Notifying Party. Within ten (10) days of receipt of said demand, the Non-Notifying Party shall select its appraiser and notify the Notifying Party, in writing, of the name, address, and qualifications of an appraiser selected by it.
Failure by the Non-Notifying Party to select a qualified appraiser within said ten (10) day period shall be deemed a waiver of its right to select a second appraiser on its own behalf and the Notifying Party shall select a second appraiser on behalf
of the Non-Notifying Party within five (5) days after the expiration of said ten (10) day period. Within ten (10) days from the date the second appraiser shall have been appointed, the two (2) appraisers so selected shall appoint a third appraiser.
If the two appraisers fail to select a third qualified appraiser, the third appraiser shall be selected by the American Arbitrations Association or if it shall refuse to perform this function, then at the request of either Landlord or Tenant, such
third appraiser shall be promptly appointed by the then Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara. 
  
 (2) The three (3) appraisers so selected shall meet in San Jose, California, not later than twenty (20) days following the selection of the third
appraiser. At said meeting the appraisers so selected shall attempt to determine the fair market monthly rent of the Premises for the option period in question (including the timing and amount of periodic increases). 
  
 (3) If the appraisers so selected are unable to complete their
determinations in one meeting, they may continue to consult at such times as they deem necessary for a fifteen (15) day period from the date of the first meeting, in an attempt to have at least two (2) of them agree. If, at the initial meeting or at
any time during said fifteen (15) day period, two (2) or more of the appraisers so selected agree on the fair market rent of the Leased Premises, such agreement shall be determinative and binding on the parties hereto, and the agreeing appraisers
shall, in simple letter form executed by the agreeing appraisers, forthwith notify both Landlord and Tenant of the amount set by such agreement. 







 (4) If two (2) or more appraisers do not so agree within said fifteen (15) day period, then each
appraiser shall, within five (5) days after the expiration of said fifteen (15) day period, submit his independent appraisal in simple letter form to Landlord and Tenant stating his determination of the fair market rent of the Premises for the
option period in question. The parties shall then determine the fair market rent for the Premises by determining the average of the fair market rent set by each of the appraisers. However, if the lowest appraisal is less than eighty-five percent
(85%) of the middle appraisal then such lowest appraisal shall be disregarded and/or if the highest appraisal is greater than one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the middle appraisal then such highest appraisal shall be disregarded. If the fair
market rent set by any appraisal is so disregarded, then the average shall be determined by computing the average set by the other appraisals that have not been disregarded. 
  
 (5) Nothing contained herein shall prevent Landlord and Tenant from jointly selecting a single appraiser to determine the
fair market rent of the Premises, in which event the determination of such appraisal shall be conclusively deemed the fair market rent of the Premises. 
  
 (6) Each party shall bear the fees and expenses of the appraiser selected by or for it, and the fees and expenses of the third appraiser (or the joint
appraiser if one joint appraiser is used) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Landlord and fifty percent (50%) by Tenant. 
  
 5. Retained Real Estate Brokers: Tenant is represented by Craig Leiker of Wayne Mascia Associates and Landlord is represented by Orchard
Commercial, Inc. for this Lease Amendment. If any other Retained Real Estate Brokers are mentioned in the Lease, they are not involved in this Amendment. 
  
 6. Tenant Improvements: Landlord is not required to make Tenant Improvements as part of this Lease Renewal. Tenant is also not required to make
Tenant Improvements as part of this Lease Renewal. Tenant’s planned improvements (if any) will be submitted to Landlord for approval subject to the requirements of this Lease. Landlord’s approval may not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. 
  
 Should Tenant require “Temporary
Space” for their improvements (ie. space to accommodate employees while tenant improvements are being constructed) the Landlord will make available up to 20,000 vacant square feet of Temporary Space at either 1169 Borregas Avenue, 1195 Borregas
Avenue, 155 C-1 Moffett Park Drive or 155A Moffett Park Drive or some combination thereof at Landlord’s option. Tenant shall notify Landlord of the requirement to temporarily use the space before May 1, 2004 or such right shall forever lapse.
The temporary use of the space shall include Free Base Monthly Rent and Operating Expenses through July 31, 2004. From August 1, 2004, Base Monthly Rent shall be $0.50 NNN on a month-to-month basis and Tenant shall pay Operating Expenses. During all
use of Temporary Space, Tenant shall maintain insurance on such space as required under this Lease, Tenant shall have all indemnity duties set forth in this Lease, and Tenant shall execute with Landlord a Temporary Use Agreement reasonably requested
by Landlord, provided, same shall not change any of the agreements made herein. Tenant’s rights to use Temporary Space shall not extend further than September 30, 2004, and on or before such date, Tenant shall vacate the said premises, return
them to Landlord in the same condition in which they were received, reasonable wear and tear incurred in spite of the use of commercially reasonable maintenance practices and efforts, excepted, and remove all of Tenant’s property. Landlord may
access Tenant’s Security Deposit to remedy any breaches of these agreements. 
  
 7. Condition of Premises: Tenant accepts the Premises for the extended term in their “as-is” condition, with all latent and patent faults, without warranty or obligation on the part of Landlord to
provide or pay for any interior improvements or tenant improvement allowances. Upon timely exercise of the option to extend, Tenant shall take the Premises for the Extended Term on the same basis. However, Landlord shall provide the Premises to
Tenant on the date of execution of this Amendment with all electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roof systems in good working condition. 
  
 8. Continuing Obligation: Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, all terms and conditions of the Lease remain in full force and effect,
and all terms and conditions of the Lease are incorporated herein as though set forth at length. 
  
 9. Effect of Amendment: This Amendment modifies the Lease. In the event of any conflict or discrepancy between the Lease and/or any other previous
documents between the parties and the provisions of this Amendment, then the provisions of this Amendment shall control. Except as modified herein, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. 







 10. Authority: Each individual executing this Amendment on behalf of Tenant represents and
warrants that he or she is duly authorized to and does execute and deliver this Amendment pursuant to express authority from Tenant pursuant to and in accordance with the By-Laws and the other organic documents of the Tenant corporation. 

 
 11. Entire Agreement: The Lease, as modified by this Amendment,
constitutes and contains the entire agreement between the parties, and there are no binding agreements or representations between the parties except as expressed herein. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor Landlord’s Agents have made
any legally binding representations or warranties as to any matter except for such matters binding representations or warranties as to any matter except for such matters which are expressly set forth herein, including any representations or
warranties relating to the condition of the Premises or the improvements thereto or the suitability of the Premises or the Project for Tenant’s business. 
  

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Third Amendment to be effective as of the date first set forth above.
