    LEASE

     

    THIS
LEASE is entered into to be effective on the 1st day of July, 1987, by and
between B.S.
ENTERPRISES, a California general partnership (hereinafter referred to as
“Lessor”) and DATA CIRCUIT SYSTEMS, INC., a California corporation (hereinafter
referred to as “Lessee”).

     

    1.           Premises: The Lessor
hereby leases to the Lessee and the Lessee hereby hires from Lessor for the
term, at the rental and upon the covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth,
the premises, sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Leased Premises”, more
particularly described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference, and commonly known as 335-A and 335-B Turtle Creek
Court, in the City of San Jose, County of Santa Clara, State of
California, which premises consist of real property improved with a building and
site improvements. Upon the availability of
335-C and 335-D Turtle Creek Court, Lessor shall lease said portion of
the Leased Premises to Lessee upon the terms and conditions contained
herein.

     

    2.           Rental: Lessee shall
pay to Lessor without deduction, set off, prior notice or demand, as rental in
advance on the first day of each month during the term hereof the sum of $5,100.00 per month.
Lessee shall pay to Lessor monthly the sum of $2,210.00 for 335-D
and $2,853.28 for
335-C upon the possession by Lessee of said portions of the Leased
Premises.

     

    


     

    3.           Term: The term of
this Lease shall be for a period of five (5) full years commencing on the 1st day of July,
1987, and ending on the 30st day of June,
1992.

     

    4.           Option to Renew:
Lessee shall have the option to extend the term of this Lease for a total of
four (4) additional five (5) year terms following expiration of the initial term
as provided in Paragraph 3 hereinabove. Lessee shall exercise its option by
giving notice of exercise of the option (the “option notice”) to Lessor at least
six (6) months before the expiration of the initial term. With respect to any
further renewal, Lessee shall give the option notice to Lessor at least six (6)
months before the expiration of the additional renewal term. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Lessee is in default of this Lease on the date of giving the
option notice, the option notice shall be totally ineffective, or if Lessee is
in default on the date the extended term is to commence, the extended term shall
not commence and this Lease shall expire at the end of the initial term or the
previously extended term, as the case may be. The monthly rent for the extended
term shall be as determined by the mutual agreement of the parties; provided,
however, if the parties cannot so agree, then such monthly rent shall be equal
to the sum of: (i) the monthly rent in effect for the previous term and (ii) the
percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the first month of
the previous term to the first month of the newly renewed term multiplied by the
monthly rent in effect for the previous term.

     

    5.           Use: Lessee shall use
the premises for any lawful purpose.

     

    6.           Utilities: Lessee
shall pay for all water, sewage removal, fuel, gas, oil, heat, electricity,
power, telephone, janitorial, landscaping and all other materials and services
which may be furnished to or used in or about said premises during the term of
this Lease.

     

    7.           Taxes:

     

    A.           Real Property.
Commencing on the lease commencement date and continuing for the entire term of
this Lease as part of the consideration of this Lease and as additional rent
hereunder, Lessee covenants and agrees to pay and discharge or cause to be paid
and discharged promptly as the same become due and before delinquency, all
taxes, assessments, rents and charges, license fees, municipal liens, levies,
excise or imposts, whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary,
imposed by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority pursuant to law
directly as a result of ownership of the Leased Premises located thereon which
may be levied, assessed, charged or imposed, or may be or become a lien or
charge upon the Leased Premises, or any part thereof or upon the leasehold or
the estate hereby created, or upon the Lessor solely by reason of its ownership
of the Leased Premises including without limitation any license or privilege fee
or tax based and/or measured solely  by the rentals due Lessor
hereunder; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed
as imposing upon Lessee any obligation to pay any estate, inheritance,
succession, capital levy or transfer tax of the Lessor growing out of or levied
in connection with this Lease or the right in the Leased Premises or any tax
measured by or based upon the net income of Lessor.

     

    (1)           Any
sums above required to be paid by Lessee, which shall relate to a fiscal year
during which the term of this Lease shall commence or terminate shall be
prorated between Lessor and Lessee as of the date of such commencement or
termination. If the law expressly permits the payment of such assessments in
installments, Lessee may utilize the permitted installment method, but shall pay
each installment coming due during the term hereof with any interest thereon
before delinquency.

     

    (2)           Lessor
shall make all payments of all sums required hereunder directly to the charging
authority before delinquency and before any fine, interest or penalty shall
become due or be imposed by operation of law for their nonpayment. If the law
expressly permits the payment of any such sums in installments, Lessor may, at
Lessor’s option, utilize the permitted installment payment method, but shall pay
each installment with any interest before delinquency. Lessee shall reimburse
Lessor within ten (10) days after payment by Lessor all amounts expended under
this paragraph which relate to the Leased Premises.

     

    B.           Personal Property.
Lessee shall pay when due all taxes levied against personal property and trade
fixtures on or about the premises prior to delinquency.

     

    8.           Fire and Property Damage
Insurance: Lessor shall maintain, as the minimum coverage required of it
by this Lease, a policy or policies of fire and property damage insurance in
so-called “fire and extended coverage” form insuring Lessor (and such others as
Lessor may designate) against loss of rents for a period of not less than twelve
(12) months and from physical damage to the building and other site improvements
with coverage of not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full
replacement value thereof. The foregoing notwithstanding, such fire and property
damage insurance, at Lessor’s election, (i) may be written in so-called “all
risk” form to include such perils as are commonly covered by such form of
coverage, (ii) may be endorsed to cover loss caused by such additional perils
against which Lessor may elect to insure, including earthquake and/or flood, and
(iii) may contain “deductibles” not exceeding One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00)
per occurrence. Lessor shall not be required to cause such insurance to cover
any trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, or any inventory or other personal
property of Lessee. The cost of the insurance carried by Lessor pursuant to this
section and any “deductible” amount not exceeding One Thousand Dollars
($1,000.00) per occurrence paid by Lessor and excluded from the coverage of such
insurance shall be reimbursed in full by Lessee.

     

    9.           Condition of
Premises: Lessee shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, maintain,
repair and keep the interior and exterior of the Leased Premises and each and
every part thereof and all appurtenances (including without limitation,
sidewalks fronting thereon, wiring, plumbing, sewage system, heating and air
cooling installations, all glazing in or bordering the Leased Premises), in good
condition and repair during the term of this Lease, damage thereto by fire,
earthquake, act of God or the elements alone excepted. In the event Lessee
should fail to make the repairs required of Lessee forthwith upon notice by
Lessor, Lessor, in addition to all other remedies available hereunder by law,
and without waiving any alternative remedies, may make the same and Lessee
agrees to repay Lessor the cost as part of the rental payable as such on the
next day upon which rent becomes due. Lessee waives all rights to make repairs
at the expense of Lessor as provided for in any statute or law which may be now
or hereafter enacted during the term of this Lease and agrees upon the
expiration of the term of this Lease or sooner termination to surrender the
Leased Premises in the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear and
damage by fire, earthquake or act of God.

     

    10.           Compliance With Laws:
Lessee shall not commit or permit to be committed any waste upon the Leased
Premises, and shall not commit or permit to be committed any public or private
nuisance, or any other act or thing prohibited by law. Lessee, at Lessee’s sole
cost and expense, shall comply with all laws, ordinances, orders and regulations
of all governmental authorities with respect to the use and occupancy of the
premises. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission
of Lessee in any action or proceeding against Lessee, whether Lessor be a party
thereto, or not, that Lessee has violated any such law, ordinance, requirement
or order in the use of the Leased Premises, shall be conclusive of that fact as
between Lessor and Lessee.

     

    11.           Alterations: Lessee
shall not make any alteration, addition or improvement to the Leased Premises
without first obtaining the written consent of Lessor. All such approvals,
additions and improvements,
including fixtures, made to or on the Leased Premises, except unattached
movable business fixtures, shall be made at the sole cost and expense of Lessee
and, upon completion, shall be the property of Lessor and shall become part of
the Leased Premises and be surrendered to Lessor. Lessee shall provide Lessor
with ten (10) days written notice before Lessee begins any such work, in order
to allow Lessor adequate time to post notices of non-responsibility. Lessor
shall notify Lessee within thirty (30) days before the end of this term whether
Lessor desires to have Lessee remove all or any part of the alterations or
improvements and to restore the Leased Premises to the condition existing prior
to the alterations and improvements and Lessee shall remove all required items
at Lessee’s sole cost and expense prior to expiration of the term of this
Lease.

     

    12.           Liens: Lessee shall
keep the Leased Premises and building of which the Leased Premises are a part,
free and clear of any liens and shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Lessor
from any liens and encumbrances arising out of any work performed or materials
or labor furnished by or at the direction of Lessee. In the event any lien is
filed, Lessee shall do all acts necessary to discharge any lien within ten (10)
days of filing, or if Lessee desires to contest any lien, then Lessee shall
deposit with Lessor such security as Lessor shall demand to insure the payment
of the lien claim. In the event Lessee shall fail to pay any lien claim when due
or shall fail to deposit the security required hereunder with Lessor, then
Lessor shall have the right to expend all sums necessary to discharge the lien
claim, and Lessee shall pay as additional rental, when the next rental payment
is due, all sums expended by Lessor in discharging any lien, including
attorneys’ fees and costs.

     

    13.           Entry: Lessor and
Lessor’s agents may enter upon the Leased Premises at all reasonable times to
inspect the same, to show the Leased Premises to a prospective purchaser or
Lessee, or to make any changes or alterations or repairs, including the erection
and maintenance of scaffolding, canopies and other structures as may be needed,
which Lessor shall deem necessary for the protection, improvement or
preservation of the Leased Premises, or to post any notice provided for by law,
or otherwise to protect any and all rights of Lessor without any liability to
Lessee for damages or any abatement of rental. Nothing contained in this
paragraph 13 shall be construed to obligate Lessor to make any such changes,
alterations or repairs. Lessee further agrees that at any time after one hundred
twenty (120) days prior to the termination of this Lease, Lessor may place
thereon any usual or ordinary “To Let” or “To Lease” signs.

     

    14.           Assignment and
Subletting: Lessee shall not sublet or assign any portion or interest in
this Lease without first obtaining the written consent of Lessor, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event of an attempted subletting or
assignment without obtaining such consent, said subletting or assignment shall,
at the option of the Lessor be void. Such assignment or subletting shall
further, at the option of Lessor, be deemed a breach of this Lease.

     

    15.           Indemnification:
Lessee shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Lessor from all liability,
penalties, losses, damages, costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
other costs of suit, expenses, causes of action, claims and/or judgments arising
by reason of any injury or death to any person or persons, or damage to the
property of any person or persons, (including without limitation, Lessee and
Lessee’s servants, agents and employees), from any cause or causes whatsoever,
while said person’s property are in, upon or in any way connected with the
Leased Premises, during the term of this Lease or any occupancy
hereunder.

     

    Lessee,
as a material part of the consideration to be rendered to Lessor, hereby waives
all claims against Lessor for damages to goods, wares and merchandise in, upon
or about said Leased Premises and for injuries to Lessee, his agents, or third
persons in or about said Leased Premises from any cause arising at any
time.

     

    16.           Insurance: Lessee
shall secure and maintain at its own expense during the term of this lease
comprehensive public liability insurance with combined single limit coverage of
One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00). The coverage of Lessee’s liability
insurance shall be primary and in addition to any carried by Lessor. Said
insurance shall be in a company or companies qualified to do business in the
State of California and satisfactory to Lessor and shall designate Lessor as an
additional named insured thereunder and shall provide for ten (10) days notice
to Lessor prior to cancellation or termination thereof. Lessee shall furnish
evidence satisfactory to Lessor that such insurance has been obtained and that
the premiums have been paid as required.

     

    17.           Waiver of
Subrogation: The parties hereto release each other, and their respective
agents, employees, and contractors, from any claims for injury to any persons or
damage to property that are caused by or result from risks insured against under
any insurance policies carried by the parties and in force at the time of such
damage, but only to the extent such claims are covered by such insurance. This
release shall be in effect only so long as the applicable insurance policies
contain a clause to the effect that this release shall not affect the right of
the insured to recover under such policies. Each party shall cause each
insurance policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all
rights of recovery by way of subrogation against either party in connection with
any damage covered by such policy so long as such waiver is available without
unreasonable additional cost.

     

    18.           Default: In the event
of any default by Lessee, Lessor shall have the following remedies, in addition
to all other rights and remedies provided by any law or otherwise provided in
this Lease, to which Lessor may resort cumulatively, or in the
alternative:

     

    A.           Lessor
may, at Lessor’s election, keep this Lease in effect and enforce by an action at
law or in equity all of its rights and remedies under the Lease, including (i)
the right to recover the rent and other sums as they become due by appropriate
legal action, (ii) the right to make payments required of Lessee or perform
Lessee’s obligations and be reimbursed by Lessee for the cost thereof with
interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date the sum is paid by
Lessor until Lessor is reimbursed by Lessee, and (iii) the remedies of
injunctive relief and specific performance to compel Lessee to perform its
obligations under this Lease.

     

    B.           Lessor
may, at Lessor’s election, terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice
of termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set forth
for termination in such notice. Any termination under this subparagraph shall
not relieve Lessee from its obligation to pay any sums then due Lessor or from
any claim against Lessor for damages or Monthly Rent. In no event shall any one
or more of the following actions by Lessor, in the absence of a written election
by Lessor to terminate this Lease, constitute a termination of this
Lease:

     

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

     

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

     

    (3)           Any
other action by Lessor or Lessor’s agents intended to mitigate the adverse
effects of any breach of this Lease by Lessee, including without limitation any
action taken to maintain and preserve the Leased Premises or any action taken to
relet the Leased Premises or any portions thereof, for the account of Lessee and
in the name of Lessee.

     

    C.           In
the event Lessee breaches this Lease and abandons the Leased Premises, the Lease
shall not terminate unless Lessor gives Lessee written notice of its election to
so terminate this Lease. No act by or on behalf of Lessor intended to mitigate
the adverse effect of such breach, including those described by subparagraphs
B(l), (2) and (3) immediately preceding, shall constitute a termination of
Lessee’s right to possession unless Lessor gives Lessee written notice of
termination. Should Lessor not terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written
notice, Lessor may enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease,
including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due under the Lease as
provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.4, as in effect on the effective
date of this Lease.

     

    D.           In
the event Lessor terminates this Lease, Lessor shall be entitled, at Lessor’s
election, to damages in an amount as set forth in California Civil Code Section
1951.2 as in effect on the effective date of this Lease. For purposes of
computing damages pursuant to said Section 1951.2, (i) twelve percent (12%)
interest per annum shall be used where permitted, and (ii) rent due under this
Lease shall be prorated on a monthly basis where necessary to compute such
damages. Such damages shall include without limitation:

     

    (1)           The
worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the
balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental
loss that Lessee proves could be reasonably avoided, computed by discounting
such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at
the time of award plus one percent (1%); and

     

    (2)           Any
other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for all detriment proximately caused
by Lessee’s failure to perform Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, or which
in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including,
without limitation, the following:

     

    (i)
expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Leased Premises; (ii) expenses
for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Leased Premises for the
purpose of reletting, including installation of leasehold improvements (whether
such installation be funded by a reduction of rent, direct payment or allowance
to a new tenant, or otherwise); (iii) broker’s fees, advertising costs and other
expenses of reletting the Leased Premises; (iv) costs of carrying the Leased
Premises, such as taxes, insurance premiums, utilities, and security
precautions; (v) expenses in retaking possession of the Leased Premises; and
(vi) attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by Lessor in retaking possession
of the Leased Premises and in re-leasing the Leased Premises or otherwise
incurred as a result of Lessee’s default.

     

    E.           Nothing
in this paragraph shall limit Lessor’s right to indemnification from Lessee as
provided in paragraph 15.

     

    In the
event Lessor fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease and fails
to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessee
specifying the nature of such default where such default could reasonably be
cured within said thirty (30) day period, or fails to commence such cure within
said thirty (30) day period and thereafter continuously with due diligence
prosecute such cure to completion where such default could not reasonably be
cured within said thirty (3.0) day period, then Lessee shall have the following
remedies only:

     

    A.           
Lessee may proceed in equity or at law to compel Lessor to perform its
obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such failure to
perform (except to the extent Lessee has waived its right to damages
result­ing from injury to person or damage to property as provided
herein).

     

    B.           
Lessee, at its option, may cure any default of Lessor at Lessor’s cost. If
Lessee at any time by reason of Lessor’s default reasonably pays any sum or does
any act that requires the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Lessee shall be
immediately due from Lessor to Lessee at the time the sum is paid, and shall
bear interest at twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date the sum is paid by
Lessee until Lessee is reimbursed by Lessor.

     

    C.           
Lessee waives the provisions of Sections 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the
California Civil Code and/or any similar or successor law regarding Lessee’s
right to terminate this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such
repairs from the rent due under the Lease. Lessee 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 Lessee is evicted or
Lessor takes possession of the Leased Premises by reason of any default by
Lessee.

     

    19.           Attorneys’ Fees
Provision: Should either party commence any legal action or proceeding
against the other based on this lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
a reasonable amount for attorneys’ fees.

     

    20.           Destruction: In the
event of a total or partial destruction of the Leased Premises during the term
of this Lease from any cause actually covered by insurance then in full force
and effect, Lessee immediately shall give written notice thereof to Lessor and
Lessor shall to the extent of said insurance proceeds forthwith repair the same,
provided such repairs can be made within one hundred twenty (120) days after
such destruction, but such partial destruction shall in no way annul or void
this Lease. If such repairs are not so insured or cannot be made within one
hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such destruction, this Lease may be
terminated at the option of either party upon fifteen (15) days written notice
to the other party. Lessee and Lessor waive the provisions of Sections 1932(2)
and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code.

     

    21.           Condemnation:

     

    A.           
If any part of the Leased Premises be condemned for a public or quasi-public use
by right of eminent domain, with out without litigation, or transferred by
agreement in connection with such public or quasi-public uses, this Lease, as to
the part so taken, shall terminate as of the date title shall vest in the
condemnor, and the rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted so that Lessee shall
be required to pay for the remainder of the term only such portion of such rent
as the value of the Leased Premises remaining after condemnation bears to the
value of the entire premises at the date of condemnation; but in either such
event Lessor shall have the option to terminate this Lease as of the date when
title to the part so condemned vests in the condemnor.


    
       

      
         


        
          

        

      

       

    

     

    B.           
In the event so much of the Leased Premises is taken that the remainder is not
suitable for the purpose for which said premises were leased, this Lease shall
terminate as of the date of such taking.

     

    C.           
All compensation awarded upon such condemnation or taking shall belong and be
paid to Lessor and Lessee shall have no claim thereto, and Lessee hereby
irrevocably assigns and transfers to Lessor any right to compensation or damages
to which Lessee may become entitled during the term hereof by reason of the
condemnation of all or a part of the Leased Premises; provided, Lessee shall
receive any portion of such award specifically allocated to Lessee’s trade
fixtures or moving expenses.

     

    22.           Holding Over: Any
holding over after the expira­tion of the term of this Lease by Lessee with
the consent of Lessor shall be deemed to be a tenancy from month to month and
except for the term thereof shall be on the same terms and conditions specified
herein, so far as are applicable.

     

    23.           Sale of Premises: In
the event of a sale or conveyance by Lessor of Lessor’s interest in the Leased
Premises, Lessor shall be released from any future liability under this Lease,
with the successor in interest to Lessor to be solely liable to
Lessee.

     

    24.           Subordination and Estoppel
Certificate: This Lease is and shall be subordinate to any mortgage, deed
of trust or other instrument of security which have been or shall be placed on
the land and building or land or building of which the Leased Premises form a
part, and such subordination is hereby made effective without any further act by
Lessee. Lessee agrees that at any time or from time to time upon request by
Lessor to execute and deliver any instruments, releases or other documents that
may be required in connec­tion with subjecting and subordinating this Lease
to the lien of said mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument of security.
Lessee hereby appoints Lessor as Lessee’s attorney in fact, irrevocably, to
execute and deliver any such instruments. Lessee shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Lessor, at any time within ten (10) days after request by Lessor, a
statement in writing certifying, if such be the case, that this Lease is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications,
that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified), the date of
com­mencement of the Lease, the date on which the rent has been paid, and
such other information as Lessor shall reasonably request. Such statement by
Lessee shall be used by Lessor for delivery to and reliance upon by prospective
purchasers and lenders whose security consists of liens upon the building and
the real property of which the Leased Premises are a part.

     

    25.           Notice: All notices
or demands of any kind re­quired or desired to be given by Lessor or Lessee
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered forty-eight (48)
hours after depositing the notice or demand in the United States mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to Lessee at the address of the Leased Premises, whether or
not Lessee has departed therefrom, abandoned or vacated the Leased Premises, and
as to Lessor at 335-B Turtle Creek Court, San Jose, California 94125, or as
Lessor shall designate in writing.

     

    26.           Waiver: No covenant,
term or condition or breach thereof shall be deemed waived, except by written
consent of Lessor, and any waiver or the breach of any covenant, term or
condition shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding
breach of the same or any other covenant, term or condition. Acceptance of all
or any portion of rent at any time shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
covenant, term or condition except as to the rent payment accepted.

     

    27.           CPI: The term “CPI”
shall mean the Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, Subgroup “All Items”,
San Francisco-Oakland Metropolitan Area (1967 = 100), now being published
bi-monthly by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
If the CPI is changed so that the base year is altered from that used as of the
effective date of this Lease, then the CPI shall be converted in accordance with
the conversion factor published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics, to obtain the same result that would have been obtained had
the base year not been changed. If no conversion factor is available, or if the
CPI is otherwise changed, revised or discontinued for any reason, there shall be
substituted in lieu thereof and the term “CPI” shall thereafter refer to the
most nearly comparable official price index of the United States Govern­ment
in order to obtain substantially the same result for any adjustment required by

    3.           The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, as of the date hereof: (a) the
Original Lease, as described above and as amended by this Lease Amendment
(collectively referred to hereinafter as “the Lease”) constitute the only lease
of the Leased Premises, and (b) the Lease is the only agreement of any kind
between Lessee and Lessor or Lessee and any Seller relating to the Leased
Premises (other than the Stock Purchase Agreement and documents entered into
in connection therewith).

     

    I.           Paragraph
2 of the Original Lease is amended to read in its entirety:

     

    “2.           Base Rent. Lessee
shall pay to Lessor without deduction, set off, prior notice or demand, as base
rent, in advance on the first day of each month during the term hereof the sum
of Ten Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($10,500.00) per month.”

     

    II.           Paragraph
3 of the Original Lease is amended to read in its entirety:

     

    “3.           Term. The initial
term of this Lease shall be for a period of just over two full years commencing
on June 23, 2000 (the “Effective Date”) (but with the first base rent payment
due hereunder being due on July 1, 2000) and ending on the thirtieth day of
June, 2002. References herein to the term of this
Lease shall be deemed to include the initial term, together with any renewals,
extensions, or holding over thereof, Lessor hereby releases Lessee from all
claims or liabilities which arose or may arise under this Lease for any period
prior to the Effective Date (except monthly payments by Lessee to Lessor
reimbursing Lessor for taxes and sewer charges for the current year), it being
understood that this Lease will henceforth be deemed to have commenced on the
Effective Date.”

     

    III.           Paragraph
4 of the Original Lease is amended to read in its entirety:

     

    “4.           Options to Extend.
Lessee shall have the option to extend the term of this Lease for a total of
four additional periods following expiration of the initial term as provided in
paragraph 3 above and as further described in this paragraph 4. Lessee shall
exercise its option by giving written notice of exercise of the option (the
“Option Notice”) to Lessor at least six months and not more than 12 months
before the expiration of the initial term. With respect to any further
extension, Lessee shall give the Option Notice to Lessor at least six months
before the expiration of the prior extension period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a Lessee event of default exists under this Lease on
the date of giving the Option Notice, the Option Notice shall be totally
ineffective, or if a Lessee event of default exists on the date the extension
period is to commence, the extension period shall not commence, and this Lease
shall expire at the end of the initial terms or the previous extension period,
as the case may
be.

     

    4.1           The
lengths of the option periods are as follows: the first two option periods shall
be five years each; the third and fourth
option periods shall be three years each.

     

    4.2           The
monthly rent for the option periods shall be as follows:

     

    4.2.1           The
first five-year option period will begin July 1, 2002 at the base rental rate of
Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($13,500.00) per month;

     

    4.2.2           The
second five-year option period, beginning July 1, 2007, will increase the then
current base rent by multiplying the then current base rent by a factor equal to
the increase from July 1, 2002 to June 30, 2007 in the Consumer Price Index,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, “All Urban Consumers” - “All Items”, as published
by the United States Department of Labor for San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose
(1982-1984 -100) (the “Index”); provided, however, that such factor shall be no
less than ten percent (10%) and no more than thirty percent (30%). If for any
reason the Index is not available, the said Consumer Price Index for the United
States shall be used, and if neither of the
Consumer Price Indices is available, then a comparable index shall be
used.

     

    4.2.3           The
base rent during the third option period, commencing July 1, 2012, shall be ten
percent (10%) below the then market rate for similar commercial space in the San
Jose region; provided, however, that it shall not be lower than the base rent
during the prior option period.

     

    4.2.4           The
base rent during the fourth option period, beginning July 1, 2015, will increase
over the then current rent by a factor equal to the increase from July 1, 2012
to June 30, 2015 in the Index; provided, however, that such factor shall be no
less than six percent (6%) and no more than eighteen percent (18%). If for any
reason the Index is not available, the said Consumer Price Index for the United
States shall be used, and if neither of the Consumer Price Indices is available,
then a comparable index shall be used.”

8 of the Original Lease is amended to read in its entirety:

     

    “8.           Public Liability and
Property Damage Insurance.

     

    8.1           Lessee,

insurance policy in question expressly permits waiver of subrogation or if the
insurer agrees in writing that such waiver of subrogation will not affect
coverage under said policy. Each party agrees to use its best efforts to obtain
such an agreement from its insurer, if the policy does not expressly permit a
waiver of subrogation and if such a waiver is available at a reasonable and
nominal cost. If the obtaining party considers the cost for such an agreement to
be unreasonable or beyond a nominal fee, the obtaining party may notify the
benefited party of such cost and the benefitted party may opt to pay the fee or
forego such an agreement.
