Exhibit 10.45

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

          This Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of August
25, 2008 (“the Effective Date”) by and between Microsoft Corporation, a Washington corporation,
with its principal offices in Redmond, Washington (“Microsoft”), and Immersion Corporation, a
Delaware Corporation with its principal offices in San Jose, California (“Immersion”). Microsoft
and Immersion are referred to in this Agreement individually as a “Party” and collectively as the
“Parties.”

          WHEREAS, the Parties previously entered into an agreement entitled “Sublicense Agreement”
effective as of July 25, 2003 (“Sublicense Agreement”).

          WHEREAS, the Parties previously entered into an agreement entitled
“Confidentiality Agreement” on May 11, 2007.

          WHEREAS, disputes have arisen between the Parties relating to the Sublicense Agreement and the
Confidentiality Agreement, resulting in the claims and counterclaims asserted in the lawsuit
entitled Microsoft Corporation v. Immersion Corp., Case No. C07-0936RSM (the “Action”).

          WHEREAS, the Parties hereto desire to settle the Action and the disputes between them on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Parties agree as follows:

	1.	 	Payment. On or before October 1, 2008, Immersion shall cause to be transmitted to
Microsoft a one time payment by wire transfer in the amount of Twenty Million Seven
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars and no cents ($20,750,000). Such wire transfer shall
be made pursuant to wire instructions Microsoft provides in writing to Immersion.
	 
	2.	 	Dismissal of The Action. Not later than five days after Immersion’s payment pursuant
to Section 2 above, Microsoft and Immersion shall direct their counsel of record in the
Action to sign a Stipulation and Order For Dismissal With Prejudice (“Stipulation”) in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Immersion and Microsoft shall cause the
signed Stipulation to be filed with the United States District Court for the Western
District of Washington as soon as practicable. The Parties agree to take all actions
reasonably necessary to effect the above-described Stipulation and obtain the
dismissal of the Action, including all claims and counterclaims therein, with prejudice.
	 
	3.	 	Termination of Sublicense Agreement. The Sublicense Agreement between the
Parties dated July 25, 2003, is terminated and is of no further force and effect. For the
avoidance of doubt, all of Immersion’s obligations under the Sublicense Agreement
are deemed satisfied, discharged and terminated in full.

 

 

	4.	 	Certified Partner Program – Gold Level. Microsoft agrees to admit Immersion into
Microsoft’s Gold Certified Partner Program, at no cost for a period of five years,
provided that Immersion meets all of the other requirements for inclusion in that
program, including any necessary training, certification, competency participation and
partner points. The above-described five year period shall begin to run from the date
on which Immersion has reached the Gold Certified Partner Level, or eighteen (18)
months from the Effective Date, whichever is earlier, although in the latter case
Immersion shall not be admitted at the Gold Certified Partner Level until it qualifies.
Services or resources available to Gold Certified Partners for additional fees will be
available to Immersion under the normal terms and conditions applicable to the
Program, including any additional fee (but with the exception of any annual
membership or program fees, which such fees are expressly waived). Microsoft
further agrees to enter into a Microsoft Services OEM Foundation Service Agreement
with Immersion (the “Service Agreement”), under which Microsoft agrees to provide
Immersion, at no cost to Immersion, with up to 100 hours of support during a 12-
month period commencing from the execution of the Service Agreement.
	 
	5.	 	Mutual Releases. As of the Effective Date, Microsoft and Immersion each hereby
mutually release and forever discharge the other Party (and the other Party’s current
and former officers, directors, employees, and attorneys), from any and all claims,
causes of action, demands, liabilities, damages, costs, attorney’s fees, or losses of any
kind or nature (hereafter “Claims”), whether known or unknown, which were asserted
or could have been asserted in the Action, or which relate to the Sublicense
Agreement, or which Microsoft or Immersion now has, or may hereafter acquire, by
reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever accruing, occurring or arising at any
time prior to the Effective Date. Nothing herein shall be deemed to release either
Party from an action to enforce the terms of this Settlement Agreement or any other
agreement that remains in effect between the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt,
Microsoft hereby agrees that the Releases provided herein now and forever discharge
Immersion from any and all obligations under the Sublicense Agreement, and that
pursuant to Section 4 above such Sublicense Agreement has no further force or effect.
	 
	6.	 	Waiver of Statutory or Other Rights Regarding Unknown Claims. The Parties agree
and acknowledge that they may have sustained damages, losses, fees, costs or
expenses that are presently unknown and unsuspected, and that such damages, losses,
fees, costs or expenses as either of them may have sustained might give rise to
additional damages, losses, fees, costs, or expenses in the future. The Parties further
acknowledge that they have been advised of and are familiar with the provisions of
Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and like or similar provisions of other
States’ laws, which provide:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT
KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE
RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS
SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

 - 2 - 

 

	 	 	Notwithstanding such provision, this Agreement shall constitute a full release in accordance
with its terms. Each of the Parties knowingly and voluntarily waives the provisions of § 1542,
as well as any other statute, law, or rule of similar effect, and acknowledges and
agrees that this waiver is an essential and material term of this Agreement, and without such
waiver, the Agreement would not have been accepted. Each Party hereby represents that it has
been advised by his or its legal counsel, and that it understands and acknowledges the
significance and consequence of this release and of this specific waiver of § 1542 and other
such laws.
	 
	7.	 	No Other Asserted Claims. Microsoft and Immersion each represent and warrant that
other than the Action, as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, neither Microsoft
nor Immersion has filed or asserted in any state or federal court, administrative
agency, or other tribunal any claim against the other.
	 
	8.	 	Other or Additional Facts. Each of the Parties expressly and knowingly acknowledges
that it may hereafter discover facts different from and/or in addition to those which it
now knows and/or believes to be true with respect to its respective Claims released
under this Agreement, and which, if known to it at the time it executed this
Agreement, may have materially affected its decision to execute this Agreement.
Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that by reason of this Agreement and the
releases contained herein, it is voluntarily, knowingly, and after receiving the advice
of counsel assuming any risk of such unknown facts and such unknown and
unsuspected claims and that this Agreement shall be and shall remain in full force and
effect in all respects.
	 
	9.	 	Other Agreements. All agreements currently in effect between the Parties other than
the Sublicensing Agreement including without limitation, the License Agreement
between the Parties dated July 25, 2003, and the Confidentiality Agreement between
the Parties dated May 11, 2007, remain in full force and effect. The Parties will
continue to abide by the Protective Order issued by the Court in this case, including
the provisions regarding return or destruction of documents.
	 
	10.	 	Parties to Bear Own Fees and Costs. Each Party shall bear all of its fees, expenses,
and costs incurred in connection with the Action and with this Settlement Agreement.
	 
	11.	 	Authority to Enter into Agreement. Each individual signing this Agreement warrants
and represents that he or she has full authority to execute the same on behalf of the
Party on whose behalf he or she signs. Each Party hereto agrees to execute all
documents and instruments necessary to implement this Agreement.
	 
	12.	 	Governing law: This Agreement, including all matters of construction, validity and
performance, shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with,
the law of the State of Washington as applicable to contracts entered into and to be
performed wholly within the State of Washington between citizens of Washington,
and without reference to any rules governing conflicts of law.

	13.	 	Integration: This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the
Parties
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and
contemporaneous written and oral understandings and agreements.

or

Agreement; (ii) that it has the rights and authority to execute this
Agreement; and (iii) that it has not sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or
otherwise disposed of any of the Claims released in this Agreement.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges that no other Party, nor any
agent
or attorney of any other Party, has made any promise, representation, or
warranty, whatsoever, express or implied, not contained herein,
concerning the subject matter hereof, to induce it to execute this
instrument. Each of the Parties acknowledges that it has not executed this
instrument in reliance on any such promise, representation, or warranty

by
counsel in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement,
and that it has executed this document with the consent and the advice of
such legal counsel.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the terms of

Agreement are contractual and not merely recitals and are the result of
negotiations between Parties represented by sophisticated counsel. All
recitals are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

	15.	 	Amendment: This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by
authorized representatives of both Parties.
	 
	16.	 	Waiver: To be effective, the waiver of any right of either Party under this Agreement

including
proceedings before the mediator and all facts or assertions made therein, and the

maintain confidentiality and not disclose these confidential matters to any person or
entity. The confidential matters shall not be disclosed to the general public by either
Party except as required by law or in response to a valid subpoena or
court order.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may disclose the existence and terms of
confidential matters to their accountants, attorneys or as otherwise necessary within
their respective organizations, or as they may otherwise mutually agree. Violations of
the confidentiality requirement of this Section are actionable in a binding arbitration
before James A. Smith, Jr., who shall have the discretion to award the prevailing party
attorney’s fees, arbitrator fees, and costs.
	 
	18.	 	Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the

control of Immersion. Any assignment of rights under the Certified Partner Program
shall be governed by the provisions of that program. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Settlement Agreement, in the event of a permitted assignment, in no
event will the assignee be deemed to have released any claims that such assignee may
have other than the claims of the assigning Party which are expressly released by that
Party hereunder.
	 
	19.	 	No Admission of Liability.This Settlement Agreement is a compromise settlement
and does not constitute an admission of liability by any Party. Neither Party is
admitting liability to the other with respect to any matter.

surveyors, architects, soil engineers, environmental audits, engineers, title insurance companies,
governmental authorities, or any other person or entity with respect to the Premises, Tenant and
Landlord agree that Landlord shall do so only for the convenience of both parties, and the reliance
by Tenant upon any such services, opinions, or work product shall not create or give rise to any
liability of or against Landlord.

Substantially Complete pursuant to the Construction Rider and Section 4.1 above; provided, however,

ten (10)

10

 

days after Tenant receives Landlord’s written demand therefor, reimburse Landlord in full
for the total cost of such insurance on the Premises as calculated by Landlord, without regard to
any deductible amount or retention amount in the event of loss, whether or not Landlord shall
choose to maintain a deductible amount or a retention amount. Landlord shall have no obligation to
insure Tenant’s Property (as defined in Section 14.1 of this Lease). The cost of any such
insurance and any deductible amount or retention amount in the event of loss, whether or not
Landlord shall choose to maintain a deductible amount or retention amount for its own account,
shall be an Operating Expense, and Tenant shall pay such cost in accordance with the terms of
Article VI hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall bear the full cost of any
deductible if Tenant, or any of its agents, employees, guests, invitees or licensees, is the cause
of an insurable event. Landlord shall ensure that there is a separate meter for electricity for
the air-conditioning for the server and lab rooms, as part of the Tenant Improvements under the
Construction Rider.

     6.8 UTILITY EXPENSES. “Utility Expenses” shall include all costs and expenses for utilities
furnished to the Building and Common Area, including, but not limited to, telecommunications,
electricity, water, gas and sewer, unless any such services are included in the Real Estate Taxes.

     6.9 PAYMENT OF OPERATING EXPENSES.

          A. Estimate and Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, pursuant
to this Section 6.9, the amount by which Tenant’s Pro Rata Share, as defined below, of
actual Operating Expenses, Real Estate Taxes, Landlord’s Insurance and Utility Expenses
(collectively referred to in this Section 6.9 as “Operating Expenses”) exceeds the Base
Year Expense Stop for these items. After the first twelve (12) full calendar months of the Term,
Landlord may give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s estimate of the amount (“Estimated Operating
Expenses”) by which Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of actual Operating Expenses will exceed the Base Year
Expense Stop, for the remaining calendar year (prorated for the remainder of such calendar year
based on a 365 day year). After each calendar year, and from time to time in any calendar year if
Landlord reasonably determines that there will be a notable adjustment in Operating Expenses during
such year, Landlord may deliver notice to Tenant of new Estimated Operating Expenses for the such
calendar year. Each such notice shall identify the amounts of Estimated Operating Expenses that
should be paid monthly until the next notice of Estimated Operating Expenses is delivered to Tenant
by Landlord, including beyond the calendar year for which such estimate was calculated. Upon
receiving an Estimated Operating Expenses notice from Landlord, Tenant shall thereafter pay
Landlord the monthly Estimated Operating Expenses identified therein on the first (1st) day of each
month concurrently with the payment of each month’s Monthly Rent. Landlord will provide Tenant
with annual pro forma estimates of these expenses.

          B. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share. For purposes of calculating Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of
Operating Expenses, “Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Rentable Area of the Premises, as determined by Landlord’s Architect, and the denominator of which
is the Rentable Square Feet of the Building. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Rentable
Square Feet of the Building is the amount indicated in Section 1.4 of this Lease.

11

 

          C. Annual Adjustment. Within ninety (90) days after each calendar year in which the
sum of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of actual Operating Expenses exceeds the amount of the Base Year
Expense Stop, or Tenant pays Estimated Operating Expenses, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a
statement (“Landlord’s Operating Statement”) showing in reasonable detail: (i) Tenant’s Pro Rata
Share of the actual Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year; and (ii) the total sum of
Tenant’s payments of Estimated Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year. If Tenant’s Pro
Rata Share of the actual Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year exceeds the Estimated
Operating Expenses for that calendar year paid by Tenant, then Tenant shall pay the deficiency
within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Landlord’s Operating Statement, which obligation shall
survive any termination or expiration of this Lease. If the Estimated Operating Expenses for the
calendar year paid by Tenant exceeds Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the actual Operating Expenses for
that period, then the excess shall be credited against Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of future Operating
Expenses or paid to Tenant within ten (10) days after the date of Landlord’s Operating Statement,
if such excess was paid by Tenant in the last year of the Term of the Lease.

          D. Contest. Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount of actual Operating
Expenses; provided, however, that Tenant shall have paid the Operating Expenses, as specified in
Landlord’s Operating Statement, to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of
Landlord’s Operating Statement. In the event of such contest, the Operating Expenses shall be
audited by a certified public accountant or professional auditor selected by Landlord and paid on
an hourly basis with no contingency or percentage commission. Tenant shall pay for all costs of
the audit. If actual Operating Expenses, as determined by the audit, are ninety-five percent (95%)
or more of the amount specified in Landlord’s Operating Statement, then Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for all costs and expenses Landlord incurred as a result of, or related directly or
indirectly to, the contest or conducting the audit. If actual Operating Expenses, as determined by
the audit, are less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the amount specified in Landlord’s Operating
Statement, then Tenant shall receive a credit for the amount of Operating Expenses that Tenant has
overpaid against Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of future Operating Expenses (and Landlord shall be
responsible for the costs of the audit). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted and approved the accuracy of Landlord’s Operating
Statement if Tenant does not furnish Landlord with a written statement contesting the amount of
actual Operating Expenses within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Operating
Statement.

     6.10 COST SAVINGS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT. “Cost Savings Capital Improvement” shall mean any
equipment, device or other improvement acquired subsequent to the Term Commencement Date of the
Lease: (i) to achieve economies in the operation, maintenance and repair of the Building or Common
Area; (ii) to comply with any Regulation; or (iii) to comply with any other governmental
requirement with respect to the air quality, health, safety or
construction requirements, if the cost thereof is capitalized on the books of Landlord in
accordance with generally accepted accounting practices. “Cost Savings Capital Improvement
Amortization” shall mean the amount determined by multiplying the actual costs, including financing
costs, of each Cost Savings Capital Improvement acquired by Landlord, by the constant annual
percentage required to fully amortize such cost over the useful life of the Cost Savings Capital
Improvement (as reasonably determined by Landlord at the time of acquisition). The Cost Savings
Capital

12

 

Improvement Amortization shall be allocated and charged to Tenant in accordance with
generally accepted accounting and management practices and as an amount per square foot of rentable
area.

     6.11 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay directly, prior to delinquency, any and all
taxes and assessments levied or assessed during the Term upon or against (i) Tenant’s Property,
furniture, equipment, and any other personal property installed or located in the Premises and (ii)
all Alterations, as defined in Section 13.1 hereof, including all additions, betterments,
or improvements of whatever kind or nature made by Tenant to the Premises, that are separately
assessed or cause the assessment for the Premises to be greater than it would have been with
standard tenant improvements and no Alterations. Whenever possible, Tenant shall cause Tenant’s
Property and all such other property to be assessed and billed separately from the real property of
Landlord. If Tenant’s Property and such other property is assessed and taxed with Landlord’s
property, Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of such taxes within ten (10) days after
receiving a statement delineating the amount of such taxes owed by Tenant. If any governmental
authority requires a tax to be paid by Tenant, but collected by Landlord for and on behalf of such
governmental authority, then Tenant shall pay, at the election of Landlord, one-half (1/2) or
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual amount of such tax to Landlord semi-annually or monthly, as the
case may require, in advance with the Monthly Rent payment.

ARTICLE VII.

SECURITY DEPOSIT

     7.1 SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant shall pay Landlord the Security Deposit upon execution of this
Lease. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit.

     7.2 USE OF SECURITY DEPOSIT. If Tenant breaches or fails to perform any of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use or
retain all or any part of the Security Deposit to cure the breach or failure of performance, and to
compensate Landlord for any damages sustained by Landlord, including, but not limited to payment
of: (i) delinquent rent; (ii) interest on delinquent rent; (iii) late charges on delinquent rent;
(iv) the cost of performing any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; (v) the cost of repairing
damages to the Premises; (vi) the cost of cleaning, maintaining, repairing, restoring or reletting
the Premises; (vii) attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements and court costs;
(viii) brokerage commissions and finders’ fees; and, (ix) interest on any and all of the above at
the “Remedy Rate” from the date due until paid; provided, however, that retention of all or any
part of the Security Deposit shall not affect Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or Landlord’s
other rights and remedies provided at law, in equity, or under this Lease. If any portion of the
Security Deposit is used as provided for in this Section, then within five (5) days after written
demand by
Landlord, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord sufficient cash to restore the Security Deposit
to its original amount, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be an Event of Default under this
Lease.

     7.3 SECURITY INTEREST. Tenant hereby grants Landlord a security interest in the Security
Deposit and in all additions thereto, substitutions therefor and proceeds thereof, including
proceeds of proceeds, for the purpose of securing all of Tenant’s obligations of the Premises
(“Secured Obligations”). Tenant hereby agrees to execute and deliver on demand, and hereby

13

 

irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord the attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute, deliver
and, if appropriate, to file with the appropriate filing officer or office, such security
agreements, financing statements or other instruments as Landlord may request or require in order
to impose, perfect or continue the lien or security interest hereof more specifically thereon and
Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, all filing fees and costs in connection therewith, and shall
pay all costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements Landlord may require.
Tenant covenants that Tenant shall not lease, sell, convey or in any manner transfer or encumber
any of its interest in the Security Deposit or any interest therein. Upon Tenant’s default with
respect to any provision of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to
the payment of any rent, Landlord shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under
California’s Uniform Commercial Code, as well as other rights and remedies available at law or in
equity, and Landlord may also invoke any of the remedies provided in the Lease.

     7.4 REFUND AND TRANSFER. If Tenant fully and faithfully performed all of Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease then, upon the Expiration Date (or upon the earlier termination without Tenant’s
fault) and after Landlord has inspected the Premises, has cleaned and repaired any damage, and has
received invoices for such repair or cleaning costs, if any, Landlord shall return the Security
Deposit or any balance thereof to Tenant. Landlord’s return of the Security Deposit, or that
portion remaining after deduction, to one of the individuals comprising Tenant shall constitute
Landlord’s fulfillment of Landlord’s obligations under this Section 7.4, and Landlord shall
be automatically released from any and all further liabilities, obligations, costs, expenses,
demands, causes of action, claims or judgments, arising from or growing out of, or connected with
the Security Deposit. If requested, Tenant shall execute a form of release and such other
documentation as may be required to further effect the provisions of this Section 7.4.
Landlord may transfer the Security Deposit, or that portion remaining after any deduction, to
Landlord’s successor-in-interest, and shall upon such transfer be discharged from any further
liability with respect to the Security Deposit. Tenant expressly waives the provisions of
Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, relating
to Landlord’s obligations in connection with security deposits.

ARTICLE VIII.

USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE COMMON AREA

     8.1 MAINTENANCE OF COMMON AREA. Landlord, at all times, will maintain the Common Area in good
condition and repair. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to: (i) make reasonable
additions to or changes in, and deletions from the Common Area; (ii) enter into, modify, and
terminate easements, licenses, and other agreements pertaining to the use and maintenance of the
Common Area; and (iii) perform any other acts in and to the Common Area
that Landlord reasonably deems appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not
incur any liability to Tenant, its employees, agents, customers or invitees as a result of any
failure of any security system installed on the Building and the Land or any security procedure
instituted at the Building, unless such failure is the result of the willful misconduct of Landlord
or any of its employees. Landlord makes no representations or warranties concerning the ability of
Landlord, its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors to maintain the Building and the
Common Area in a secure fashion. Tenant hereby waives its right to recover from Landlord and
Landlord’s

14

 

officers, directors, shareholders, employees, licensees, invitees and agents any and all
damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses whatsoever (including attorney’s fees and costs)
and claims therefor, known or unknown or foreseen or unforeseen, arising from or related to any
failure of Landlord or Landlord’s officers, directors, shareholders, employees, licensees, invitees
or agents to provide a safe and secure Common Area or Building. Tenant expressly waives the
benefits of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR
SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF
KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

     8.2 TENANT’S USE OF COMMON AREA. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, for the Term, subject to
the terms of this Lease, a nonexclusive right to use the Common Area. Such right of use is limited
solely to the ingress and egress of customers, invitees, employees and licensees of Tenant, in
common with other occupants and tenants of the Building, to and from the Premises and the public
streets adjacent to the Building, for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic and for the parking of
vehicles in accordance with Section 8.4 hereof. The Common Area shall be used and
maintained pursuant to this Article.

     8.3 COMPLIANCE WITH LANDLORD’S RULES AND REGULATIONS. Landlord has established reasonable
rules and regulations (“Rules and Regulations”), which are attached hereto as Exhibit F,
for the management, safety, care and cleanliness of the Building and for the convenience of all
occupants and tenants of the Building. Tenant, together with all other persons entering or
occupying the Premises at Tenant’s request or with Tenant’s permission, including but not limited
to Tenant’s invitees and customers, shall comply with the Rules and Regulations and any violation
thereof shall be a default under this Lease by Tenant. Landlord reserves the right to amend the
Rules and Regulations at any time and from time to time.

     8.4 PARKING. Tenant shall only have the right to use the number of parking spaces specified
in Section 1.18 hereof. The automobiles and other motor vehicles of Tenant, its employees,
agents, invitees, guests, contractors and subcontractors shall be parked only in areas designated
by Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right to remove the vehicles of Tenant or any of its
employees, agents, invitees, guests, contractors or subcontractors found in an area not designated
by Landlord, without liability of any kind for such act on the part of Landlord, its employees or
agents. Tenant acknowledges that the forty seven (47) parking spaces behind the Building that
Landlord is making available to Tenant on a non exclusive basis are located on property being
leased by Landlord from the SCWD (“SCWD Lease”) and that the SCWD Lease is
currently scheduled to expire by its terms on February 28, 2013. Landlord shall make
commercially reasonable efforts to extend the SCWD Lease an additional five (5) years.

     8.5 NO OBSTRUCTION. Tenant shall not obstruct any portion of the Common Area by placing or
allowing any item on it, including without limitation, newspaper racks, bicycle stands,
merchandise, refuse or other materials.

15

 

ARTICLE IX.

SERVICES

     9.1 LANDLORD’S OBLIGATIONS. Landlord shall provide janitorial service five (5) days per week
to the Building (including the Premises and any other premises used by other tenants) and the
Common Area, generally consistent with that furnished in other first class office buildings in the
area in which the Building is located, and window washing as determined by Landlord. Landlord
makes no representation with respect to the adequacy or fitness of the air conditioning or
ventilation equipment in the Building to maintain temperatures which may be required for, or
because of, any equipment of Tenant, other than normal fractional horsepower office equipment, and
Landlord shall have no liability for loss or damage in connection therewith. Landlord’s
obligations set forth in this section shall constitute Operating Expenses as more fully described
in Section 6.5 hereof. Landlord agrees to provide additional air-conditioning and electricity for
the operation of the server and loft rooms.

     9.2 DIRECT CHARGE FOR ADDITIONAL AND EXTRAORDINARY SERVICES. Landlord may impose a reasonable
charge for the usage of any janitorial services required to the Common Area because of any
non-building standard improvements in the Premises, the carelessness of Tenant, the nature of
Tenant’s business (including the operation of Tenant’s business other than during normal business
hours) and for the removal of any refuse and rubbish from the Premises. The standard Building
hours shall be 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Landlord may impose a reasonable
charge for after hours usage of the Building and/or Premises by Tenant.

          Landlord shall install a separate HVAC system for Tenant’s IT room and lab rooms and a meter
to monitor electrical use for data system and lab rooms and for said HVAC system and will bill
Tenant every three months the cost for its electrical usage. Also, maintenance costs on said
separate HVAC system will be billed to Tenant as such costs arise.

     9.3 LIMITATION ON LANDLORD LIABILITY. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to furnish
any services or utilities to the Building (including the Premises and/or the Common Area), when
such failure is caused by acts of God, accidents, breakage, repairs, strikes, boycotts, war, riot,
civil commotion or insurrection, national or public emergency, a condemnation or taking, damage or
destruction of the Building or Premises, lockouts, other labor disputes, in order to make repairs,
alterations or improvements to the Premises or the Building, the inability to obtain an adequate
supply of fuel, steam, water, electricity, labor or other supplies or for any other condition
beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, including without limitation, any governmental agency
conservation program, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages nor shall such failure
relieve Tenant of the obligations to pay the full rent reserved hereunder or constitute to be
construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant. If Landlord receives advance notice
of any repair, strike, boycott, labor dispute, any other cause beyond the reasonable control of
Landlord, improvement or maintenance procedure which will result in the interruption of the water,
electrical, heating, ventilation or air conditioning services being provided to the Building and/or
the Common Area, Landlord shall give notice thereof to Tenant as soon as reasonably possible. In
the event any governmental entity promulgates or revises any statutes, ordinance or building, fire
or other code or imposes mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines on Landlord or the complex
or any part thereof, relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, light

16

 

or
electricity or the reduction of automobile or other emissions or the provision of any other utility
or service provided with respect to this Lease or in the event Landlord is required or elects to
make alterations to the Building or Common Area or portion thereof, in order to comply with such
mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, comply with
such mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines or make such alterations to the Building or
Common Area or portion thereof. Such compliance and the making of such alterations shall in no
event entitle Tenant to any damages, relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay the full rent reserved
hereunder or constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant. In
addition, the cost of such compliance and alterations shall be deemed to be a Cost Savings Capital
Improvement as defined in Section 6.10 of this Lease.

     9.4 ADDITIONAL SERVICE EQUIPMENT. Other than the requirements shown in Exhibit G,
which are approved, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord may refuse in its
sole discretion, Tenant shall not use any apparatus or device in the Premises using current in
excess of 110 volts which will in any way increase the amount of electricity or water usually
furnished or supplied for use of the Premises; nor connect any apparatus, machines or device with
water pipes or electric current (except through existing electrical outlets in the Premises), for
the purpose of using electric current or water. The cost of any separate conduit, wiring or panel
requirements and the installation, maintenance and repair thereof shall be paid for by Tenant and
Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord promptly upon demand therefor by Landlord. If the temperature
otherwise maintained in any portion of the Premises by the heating, air conditioning or ventilation
systems is affected as a result of (i) any lights, machines or equipment (including without
limitation, electronic data processing machines) used by Tenant in the Premises; or (ii) the
occupancy of the Premises by more than one (1) person per two hundred (200) square feet of rentable
area therein; then Landlord shall have the right to install any machinery and equipment which
Landlord reasonably deems necessary to restore temperature balance, including without limitation,
modifications to the standard air conditioning equipment, and the cost thereof, including the cost
of installation and any additional cost of operation and maintenance incurred thereby, shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand by Landlord.

ARTICLE X.

INSURANCE

     10.1 GENERAL INSURANCE. Tenant shall, at its expense, maintain in effect from and after the
Term Commencement Date and continuously thereafter until the Expiration Date, the policies of
insurance required under this Article. All policies that Tenant is required to obtain under this
Article shall be written on an occurrence basis and shall be issued by companies
licensed to do business in California with a general policyholder’s rating of not less than
“A” and a financing rating of not less than Class “X,” as rated by the most current available
“Bests” Insurance Reports. On or before the Term Commencement Date and prior to Tenant’s entry as
permitted under the Construction Rider, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a certificate of
insurance reasonably acceptable to Landlord showing that the policies required pursuant to this
Article are in effect and that Landlord shall be notified by the carrier in writing thirty (30)
days prior to cancellation, material change, or nonrenewal of such insurance. The policies that
Tenant is required to obtain pursuant to this Article shall name Landlord and, upon Landlord’s
request,

17

 

any Landlord’s Lender and property manager, as additional insureds and shall be primary
policies, unaffected by any insurance or self-insurance Landlord may have. If Tenant carries any
of the insurance required hereunder in the form of a blanket policy, any certificate required
hereunder shall make specific reference to the Premises. If Tenant fails to procure and maintain,
throughout the Term, the policies of insurance required by this Article, then Tenant shall be
solely liable for any loss or cost resulting from such failure, and, in addition, Landlord shall
have the rights and remedies specified in Article XVIII hereof.

     10.2 COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall obtain and keep in force throughout
the Term, a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance covering the Premises and
Tenant’s business (or that of any subtenant, licensee, or concessionaire, if permitted under
Article XXI) with combined single limit coverage in amounts not less than Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) annual aggregate. All
of such insurance shall be primary and noncontributing with any insurance which may be carried by
Landlord and shall contain a provision that Landlord, although named as an insured, shall
nevertheless be entitled to recover under the policy for any loss, injury, or damage to Landlord,
its agents and employees, or the property of such persons by reason of the negligence of Tenant.
All such insurance shall specifically insure Tenant’s performance of Tenant’s indemnity obligations
under this Lease. The adequacy of the coverage afforded by the liability and property damage
insurance shall be subject to review by Landlord from time to time, and, if it appears in such a
review that a prudent businessperson in the area operating a similar business to that operated by
Tenant on the Premises would increase the limits of its liability insurance, Tenant shall effect
such increases within thirty (30) days after receive of notice from Landlord.

     10.3 WORKERS’ COMPENSATION INSURANCE. If the nature of Tenant’s business is such as to place
any or all of its employees, contractors, subcontractors or agents under the coverage of local
workers’ compensation or similar statutes, Tenant shall keep in force workers’ compensation or
similar insurance affording statutory coverage and containing statutory limits. If Landlord is
required to obtain workers’ compensation or similar insurance in connection with Landlord’s
ownership, operation, or leasing of the Premises or the performance of Landlord’s obligations under
the Lease, the cost of any such workers’ compensation or similar insurance shall be an Operating
Expense.

     10.4 PROPERTY AND EXTENDED COVERAGE INSURANCE. Tenant shall keep in force an “all risks”
property insurance policy, with vandalism and malicious mischief endorsements, covering one hundred
percent (100%) of the replacement cost of all Tenant’s Property, with an inflation rider or
endorsement attached thereto and, if requested by Landlord or
Landlord’s Lender, twelve (12) months’ business interruption insurance rider or endorsement
attached thereto.

     10.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Landlord and Tenant hereby waive any rights each may have against the other on account of any loss
or damage occasioned to Landlord or Tenant, their respective property, the Premises or its
contents, arising from any risk covered by the insurance required hereunder. The parties each, on
behalf of their respective insurance companies insuring the property of either Landlord or Tenant
against any such loss, waive any right of subrogation that it may have against

18

 

Landlord or Tenant,
as the case may be. The foregoing waivers of subrogation shall be operative only so long as
available without invalidating either Landlord’s or Tenant’s policy of insurance.

ARTICLE XI.

USE OF PREMISES

     11.1 PERMITTED USE. Subject to all liens, encumbrances and other matters of record, Tenant
shall use the Premises solely for the Use of the Premises specified in Section 1.13 hereof
from the date possession of the Premises is delivered to Tenant until the Expiration Date. No
other use shall be permitted without the prior express written consent of Landlord, which consent
may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have
the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate easements, dedications and rights in, on
or over the Premises, the Common Area and the Building, without Tenant’s approval, that Landlord
deems necessary or desirable. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall sign any of the
aforementioned documents or any documents reasonably required to effectuate the rights so granted
by Landlord, and Tenant’s failure to do so within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written request
shall constitute a material default of this Lease by Tenant without the need for further notice to
Tenant.

     11.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; NUISANCE. Tenant shall, at its sole expense and at all times,
comply fully with (i) all federal, state and local laws, including all zoning laws and ordinances,
and all regulations, codes, requirements, public and private land use restrictions rules and
orders, including without limitation Environmental Regulations, as defined below in
Section 11.3, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.,
as amended (“ADA”) (individually and collectively, “Regulations”) that apply to the Premises or
Tenant’s use or occupancy thereof, including but not limited to the obligation to alter, maintain,
repair or restore the Premises in compliance and conformity with all such Regulations, but
excluding any non-compliance or non-conformity that existed prior to this Lease, which shall be
Landlord’s responsibility, and (ii) any and all requirements and recommendations of any insurance
organization or company necessary for the maintenance of reasonable fire and public liability
insurance covering the Premises. Tenant shall neither store, use nor sell any article in or about
the Premises, nor permit any act, that would cause the premiums for insurance to increase or cause
a cancellation of any policy upon the Premises. Tenant shall not occupy, suffer or permit the
Premises or any part thereof to be used for any illegal, immoral or dangerous purpose, or in any
other way contrary to the law or the rules or regulations of any public authority. Tenant shall
not commit, or suffer to be committed, any waste upon the Premises, or any public or private
nuisance, or any other act or thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any neighbors of
the Premises. Tenant shall not conduct or permit to be conducted any sale by auction in, upon or
on the Premises.

     11.3 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. Tenant represents, warrants, and covenants to Landlord that
Tenant shall at no time use or permit the Premises to be used in violation of any Regulations,
including any Regulations which relate to or govern Hazardous Materials and/or the environmental
conditions in, on, under or about the Premises, including, but not limited to, air quality, soil
and surface and subsurface water conditions (individually and

19

 

collectively, “Environmental
Regulations”). Tenant shall assume sole and full responsibility for, and shall remedy at its sole
cost and expense, all such violations. Tenant shall at no time use, generate, release, store,
treat, dispose of, or otherwise deposit, in, on, under or about the Premises, any hazardous or
toxic substances, wastes or related materials (“Hazardous Materials”) or permit or allow any third
party to do so, without Landlord’s express, prior, written consent and Tenant’s compliance, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, with all Environmental Regulations. Tenant shall pay or reimburse
Landlord for any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord, including reasonable attorneys’,
engineers’, consultants’ and other experts’ fees and disbursements incurred or payable to
determine, review, approve, consent to or monitor the requirements for compliance with
Environmental Regulations. For the purposes of this Section, Hazardous Materials shall include, but
not be limited to, asbestos, asbestos-containing matter, and the group of organic compounds known
as polychlorinated biphenyls, as well as substances defined as “hazardous substances” or “toxic
substances” in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq. (“CERCLA”); the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49
U.S.C. Section 1802; the Resource Conservation Recovery Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq.
(“RCRA”); those substances identified in regulations, orders, and publications adopted pursuant to
California Health and Safety Code § 25249.8, as “Chemicals known to Cause Cancer or Reproductive
Toxicity;” and those substances defined as “hazardous wastes” in Section 25117 of the California
Health and Safety Code and in the regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant thereto
and any Regulation which now exists or which may be enacted or become effective after the date of
this Lease; all as the foregoing may be amended or recodified from time to time. Tenant shall
provide Landlord with written notification, immediately upon the discovery or notice or reasonable
grounds to suspect, by Tenant, its successors, assigns, licensees, invitees, employees, agents,
partners and/or any other third party, that any provision of this Section has not been strictly
complied with. It shall be an Event of Default under this Lease, entitling Landlord to exercise
any of its rights and remedies under this Lease, if any provision of this Section is not strictly
complied with at all times. Landlord’s election to conduct such inspections shall not be construed
as approval of Tenant’s use of the Premises or any activities conducted thereon, and shall in no
way constitute an assumption by Landlord of any responsibility whatsoever of Tenant’s use of the
Premises or Hazardous Materials.

     11.4 LANDLORD’S RIGHT OF ENTRY. Landlord, at reasonable times, upon reasonable notice, may go
into the Premises without any liability whatsoever for the purposes of: (i) performing all of
Landlord’s obligations under this Lease; (ii) inspecting the Premises; (iii) inspecting the
performance by Tenant of the terms and conditions hereof; (iv) showing the Premises to prospective
tenants (but only within the last six (6) months of the Term or after a default of this Lease by
Tenant), purchasers, or mortgagees; and (v) posting notices for the protection of Landlord on the
Premises. Except in the case of an emergency and to perform
Landlord’s obligations under the Lease, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable prior notice of
any and all intended entries or inspections pursuant to this Section.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF PREMISES

     12.1 TENANT’S MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS. Except for Landlord’s repair obligations specifically
set forth in Article XV hereof, and Landlord’s obligations set forth in Section 9.1 hereof,
from and after the Term Commencement Date, and continuously thereafter until the Expiration Date,
Tenant, at Tenant’s sole expense, shall maintain the Premises, Tenant’s Property, Tenant
Improvements, and all portions of the Premises in a first-class order and neat, clean and sanitary
condition and repair, including any necessary repairs and replacements covered by Tenant’s
negligence, to any portion of the Premises except for such repairs as may be required because of
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Tenant’s obligations shall include, but
not be limited to, the following: (i) painting, redecorating, and renovating the interior of the
Premises and Tenant’s Property; (ii) keeping all Tenant’s mechanical and electronic equipment,
systems and apparatus free of vibration and noise which may be transmitted beyond the Premises; and
(iii) maintaining Tenant’s signs permitted by this Lease in first-class order, condition and
repair. If Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or subcontractors cause any damage to any
property surrounding the Premises including, but not limited to, damage to or blockage of the
water, sewer, HVAC, or electrical systems, then Tenant shall promptly repair any such damage, or,
upon Landlord’s election, reimburse Landlord for the cost of such repair plus an administrative fee
equal to ten percent (10%) of the cost of such repair.

     12.2 ANTENNAE/LIGHTS. Tenant shall not erect, construct, place or permit any television,
radio, telecommunications or other electronic towers, aerials, antennae, satellite dishes or
devices of broadcast or reception or other means of communication on the Premises or Building
without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld by
Landlord.

     12.3 LANDLORD’S CURE. If Tenant fails to commence any of the Tenant’s obligations listed in
Section 12.1 hereof within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s written demand to
perform such obligations, or fails to adequately complete the performance of such obligations
within a reasonable time after commencement, then Landlord may, but is not obligated to, perform
such obligations without liability to Tenant for any loss to Tenant’s stock or business that might
arise by reason thereof. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand in an amount equal to the cost
incurred by Landlord in the performance of such obligations.

ARTICLE XIII.

ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS

     13.1 ALTERATIONS. For all alterations, improvements, repairs or installations of any kind in
excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), Tenant shall not make (i) any alterations, improvements,
additions, or utility installations, including without limit, altering the carpeting,
hallway entry doors, floor or window coverings, locks, air lines, power panels, electrical
distribution systems, telecommunications lines, antenna, satellite dishes, computer cables,
lighting fixtures, space heaters, air conditioning or plumbing in, on, or about the Premises or
(ii) any change or alteration to the Premises (individually and collectively, “Alterations”)
without

21

 

Landlord’s express, prior, written consent. Repairs, alterations or improvements of any
kind (except structural) less than Ten Thousand Dollars (10,000), can be made by Tenant without
Landlord’s express prior written consent. Landlord reserves the right to disapprove any
Alterations, wholly on aesthetic grounds. If Tenant makes or commences any Alterations without the
prior written approval of Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant remove any
or all of such Alterations at Tenant’s sole expense and shall also have the right to declare Tenant
in default and to terminate this Lease. Any Alternations shall at all times comply fully with all
applicable federal, state and municipal laws, ordinances, regulations, codes and other governmental
requirements now or hereafter in force and Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, take
all necessary actions now or hereafter to ensure such compliance including paying the cost of any
alteration or improvement of the Common Area that is required by any such governmental requirement
as a result of any Alteration. Alternations shall not include the Tenant Improvements referenced
in Exhibit “E.”

     Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written request for approval and proposed, detailed plans
for any Alterations that Tenant would like to make, and if not to be designed and constructed by
Landlord’s architect and/or contractor, the identity of Tenant’s architect and/or contractor, who
shall be subject to Landlord’s approval. Landlord shall have the right to condition its consent
upon Tenant’s: (i) obtaining a building permit and complying with all Regulations for the
Alterations from appropriate governmental agencies; (ii) furnishing a copy of such building permit
and evidence of such compliance to Landlord prior to the commencement of such work; (iii) complying
with all the conditions of such building permit and all Regulations; (iv) providing Landlord with
plans and specifications for the Alterations for Landlord’s prior written approval; (v) providing
Landlord with a copy of the construction contract, construction schedule, trade payment breakdown
and list of subcontractors and suppliers for Landlord’s prior written approval; (vi) recording a
statutory payment and performance bond issued by a corporate surety acceptable to Landlord and in
an amount equal to the construction cost and acceptable to Landlord; (vii) providing Landlord with
ten (10) days’ written notice prior to commencing any such work; (viii) paying Landlord an
administrative fee in the amount of Four Hundred Dollars ($400), for reviewing such plans; and (ix)
requiring any contractors used by Tenant carry a comprehensive liability insurance policy, on a
“per-occurrence basis,” covering bodily injury in the amounts of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)
for death or injury to any one person, Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) for death or injury to
more than one person, and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for property damage, and (x) removing
the Alteration and restoring the Premises at the end of the Lease Term. If Landlord does not
inform Tenant in writing of this requirement for restoration at the time of Landlord’s approval of
the Alteration, Landlord waives this requirement for the subject Alteration. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord may withhold its consent, if such Alterations would necessitate modifications
to the Common Area. Landlord may require proof of such insurance prior to allowing Tenant to
commence any Alterations. Landlord’s approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for
any Alterations shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for their
completeness, design sufficiency or compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental
agencies or authorities. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage, loss, or prejudice suffered
or claimed by Tenant, its agents or any other person or
entity on account of: (a) the approval or disapproval of any plans, contracts, bonds,
contractors, sureties or matters; (b) the construction of any Alterations or performance of any
work, whether or not pursuant to approved plans; (c) the improvement of or alteration or
modification to any portion of the Premises; or, (d) the enforcement or failure to enforce any of
the covenants, conditions and

22

 

restrictions contained in this Lease. Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s
plans, or requirement that Tenant modify Tenant’s plans, shall not be deemed Landlord’s express or
implicit covenant or warranty that such plans are safe or comply with any or all Regulations.

     13.2 CONSTRUCTION OF ALTERATIONS. Tenant shall pay when due all claims for labor or materials
furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Tenant at, on, or for use in the Premises.
Tenant shall keep the Building, including the Premises, free and clear of all mechanics’ liens and
all other liens. Tenant shall give Landlord immediate written notice of any lien filed against the
Building, including the Premises, related to or arising from work performed by or for the Tenant.
Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the commencement of
any Alterations in the Premises, and Landlord shall have the right to post notices of
non-responsibility in or upon the Premises as provided by law. If Tenant shall in good faith
contest the validity of any such lien, claim or demand, then Tenant, at its sole expense, shall
defend, indemnify and hold Tenant and Landlord harmless against the same and shall pay and satisfy
any such adverse judgment that may be rendered thereon before the enforcement thereof against the
Tenant, Landlord, the Premises or the Building. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall furnish to
Landlord a corporate surety bond, in form and content and issued by a corporate surety satisfactory
to Landlord, in an amount equal to one and one-half (1-1/2) times the amount of such contested lien,
claim or demand, indemnifying Landlord and Tenant from liability for any such lien, claim or demand
and holding the Building (including the Premises), free and harmless from and against the effect of
any such lien, claim or demand, and causing the release and reconveyance of said lien from the
Building. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant pay Landlord’s
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, court costs and other costs in defending any such action if
Landlord is named as a party to any such action, if the lien encumbers any portion or interest in
the Building and/or if Landlord elects to defend any such action or lien. Tenant shall execute and
deliver to Landlord a valid notice of completion of any Alterations in accordance with Section 3093
of the California Civil Code, as amended or recodified from time to time (“Tenant’s Certificate of
Completion”), in recordable form. Landlord shall have the right to record or cause Tenant to
record Tenant’s Certificate of Completion in the Official Records of the County Recorder’s Office
of the County of Santa Clara, California.

     13.3 TITLE TO ALTERATIONS. Subject to Section 14.1 hereof, any and all Alterations
which may be made in or upon the Premises shall become the property of Landlord and remain upon and
be surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the Term without compensation to Tenant
unless Landlord requires that Tenant remove the Alterations pursuant to Section 14.2
hereof.

     13.4 SIGNS. At Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Tenant shall be entitled to receive signage on
the monument outside, on the exterior of the Building and one Tenant sign located on the glass
surface of the interior lobby wall. If Tenant thereafter desires to change, modify or amend
Tenant’s signage, such changes, modifications or amendments shall be subject to Landlord’s approval
and shall be made at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and in no event shall be deemed to constitute
Landlord’s consent to any transfer of Tenant’s interest, unless such Transfer
(as defined in Section 20.1 hereof) complies with the terms and provisions of
Article XXI hereof. Tenant shall not place, erect or maintain or cause to be placed,
erected or maintained on or to the roof or any exterior door, wall, window or the roof of the
Premises or Building, or on or to the glass of any window or door of the Premises or Building, or
on or to any sidewalk or other

23

 

location outside the Premises, or within any window space in the
Premises, or within any entrance to the Premises, any sign, marquee (flashing, moving, hanging,
handwritten, or otherwise), decal, placard, awning, decoration, flashing, moving or hanging lights,
lettering, or any other advertising matter of any kind or description, without first obtaining
Landlord’s written consent and provided such complies with all applicable governmental regulations
and ordinances and does not violate any recorded restrictions. If Tenant places or causes to be
placed or maintained any of the foregoing, Landlord or Landlord’s representative may remove the
same at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without notice or liability and without such removal
constituting a breach of this Lease or entitling Tenant to claim damages on account thereof. No
illuminated sign located in the interior of the Premises and which is visible from the outside
thereof shall be permitted. All signs located in the interior of the Premises shall be in good
taste so as not to detract from the general appearance of the Building. Tenant shall repair, at
its sole cost and expense, any damage to the Premises or Building caused by the erection,
maintenance or removal of any sign, marquee, awning, decoration or other attachment. All window
coverings on the Premises visible from outside the Building shall be subject to Landlord’s
approval, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, and all
governmental regulations, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, may install signage
identifying its business name, on an exterior wall of the Building in the front of its Premises,
and on the existing monument sign on the Land, provided Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense,
shall be responsible to maintain such sign in a safe and clean condition, shall be responsible for
any utility costs for such sign, and prior to the end of the Term of this Lease, shall remove such
sign and make any repairs, replacements and refinishing necessary to return the exterior wall of
the Building or monument sign in as good a condition as it was when such sign was installed.

ARTICLE XIV.

TENANT’S PROPERTY

     14.1 TENANT’S PROPERTY. All trade fixtures, goods, inventory, merchandise, stock, supplies,
decorative light fixtures, and movable equipment owned by Tenant and installed in the Premises at
Tenant’s sole cost and which may be removed without material damage to the Premises (“Tenant’s
Property”) shall remain the property of Tenant during the Term. Except as provided to the contrary
in Section 13.3 hereof, Tenant’s Property shall be removable from time to time and at the
expiration of the Term or earlier termination thereof, provided that: (i) Tenant shall not at such
time be in default, or with notice or the passage of time or both would be in default, under any
term, covenant, condition or provision of this Lease; and (ii) Tenant shall repair any damage to
the Premises or Building caused by the removal of Tenant’s Property.

     14.2 SURRENDER OF PREMISES. On the Expiration Date or on the sooner termination of this
Lease, Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Premises in accordance with the
terms of this Section and in good order, condition and repair, broom-clean, excepting only
reasonable wear and tear and fire and other unavoidable casualty which Landlord is required to
repair hereunder. Tenant shall remove any telephone, data, and communication cabling and related
equipment installed on the Premises by Tenant. The provisions of this Section shall

24

 

survive
termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Tenant shall not remove
(unless requested to by Landlord, pursuant to a notice given at the time of the Alteration pursuant
to Section 13.1, in which case Tenant shall remove, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) all or any
part of any Alterations involving masonry, poured concrete, hard surface bonded or adhesively
affixed flooring, plumbing, switches, transformers, floor covering, wall covering, ceiling
material, fixed partitions, and installed lighting equipment (whether or not the same are Tenant’s
Property) designated by Landlord. Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises or Building
caused by such removal. If Landlord so elects, such items shall remain upon and be surrendered
with the Premises as a part thereof, without disturbance, molestation or injury, and without
charge, at the expiration or termination of this Lease and shall then become the property of
Landlord. Tenant shall promptly surrender all keys for the Premises and all key-cards to Landlord
at the place then fixed for notice to Landlord and shall inform Landlord of the combinations on any
locks and safes on the Premises.

     14.3 LANDLORD’S LIEN. Subject to the rights of Tenant, if any, under Section 9102(4) of the
California Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, Tenant hereby
grants to Landlord a security interest in and lien upon Tenant’s Property and the proceeds thereof
as security for Tenant’s performance of all the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and
obligations under this Lease. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute a Security Agreement,
UCC-1 Financing Statement, Continuation Statement, and such other documents as Landlord may
reasonably require to evidence, create, protect, perfect and preserve the validity and priority of
Landlord’s lien upon and security interest in Tenant’s Property.

ARTICLE XV.

DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION

     15.1 LANDLORD’S DUTY OF REPAIR. Except as expressly provided herein, Landlord shall not be
required to repair the Premises or Building in the event of any total or partial damage or
destruction thereof. If the Premises or Building is totally or partially damaged or destroyed by
any cause insured against by Landlord under the policy of insurance described in
Section 10.4 hereof (property and extended coverage policy) then unless the Lease is
terminated pursuant to Section 15.3 hereof, Landlord shall repair such damage to the extent
the available insurance proceeds received by Landlord cover the costs of such repair. If the
insurance proceeds are insufficient to restore such damage or destruction, Landlord shall have the
right to terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days’ written notice to Tenant.

     15.2 REPAIRS BY LANDLORD. If Landlord is required to repair under Section 15.1 above
or if Landlord need not repair but nevertheless elects to make such repairs, Landlord shall give
written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s decision to repair within thirty (30) days after the
determination of the amount of insurance proceeds available for any such restoration. To the
extent the policy of insurance described in Section 10.4 hereof provides Landlord with
insurance proceeds for rental loss, rent shall be proportionately abated, based upon the extent to
which the damage and making of repairs interferes with Tenant’s business, but only to the extent
Landlord actually receives such insurance proceeds while repairs are being made. Notwithstanding

25

 

anything to the contrary contained herein, there shall be no rent abatement if the Premises are
unusable due to damage or destruction caused by or related to the fault or negligence of Tenant, or
its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall have
the right to take any portion of the HVAC system out of service temporarily for the purpose of
servicing, repairing, maintaining, removing or replacing any portion of the HVAC system.

     15.3 TERMINATION OF LEASE. Landlord may elect to cancel and terminate this Lease by providing
Tenant with written notice of such election after the occurrence of any one of the following
conditions: (i) if within thirty (30) days after the damage or destruction, Landlord does not
deliver written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s election to restore any damage or destruction to the
Premises that cannot be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days after the occurrence of such
damage in the reasonable judgment of Landlord (based upon the time necessary to obtain all
governmental approvals and all labor, materials and supplies to make such repairs); (ii) the
Premises are damaged from any cause to the extent of at least thirty-three and one-third percent
(33-1/3%) of the replacement cost thereof; (iii) the Building is totally destroyed; or, (iv) at the
time of any uninsured damage or destruction from any cause to the Premises, the amount of Monthly
Rent remaining due hereunder for the balance of the Term is less than Landlord’s reasonable
estimate of the cost of repairing such uninsured damage to the Premises. The Lease shall be deemed
automatically terminated effective upon the expiration of thirty (30) days after the delivery of
the written notice of Landlord’s election to Tenant. If the Lease is so terminated, neither party
shall have any further obligation to the other, except for Tenant’s obligation to pay rent and
other charges which are accrued and unpaid as of the termination date and other provisions that
survive the termination of this Lease. Tenant hereby waives California Civil Code Sections 1932
and 1933, as amended or recodified from time to time.

ARTICLE XVI.

EMINENT DOMAIN

     16.1 TOTAL OR SUBSTANTIAL TAKING. If all of the Premises or Building is taken under the power
of Eminent Domain or such a substantial portion thereof is so taken that reasonable restoration
will not result in the Premises being reasonably suitable for the conduct of Tenant’s business with
adequate parking and access, this Lease shall terminate on the date that Tenant is required to
yield possession to the condemning authority, or on the date that the possession of the Premises or
the Building or part thereof is taken, whichever is later. The term “Eminent Domain” shall include
the exercise of any governmental power of condemnation or taking and any private sale or other
transfer in lieu of or under threat of condemnation.

     16.2 PARTIAL TAKING. If there is a partial taking of the Premises or the Building, Landlord,
at its sole option, may elect to terminate this Lease or affirm the Lease by delivering written
notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after any such partial taking. If Landlord fails to send
any such written notice, this Lease shall terminate on the later of the dates that possession is
so taken or that Tenant is required to yield possession to the condemning authority. If
Landlord elects to affirm the Lease, then: (i) the Lease shall terminate as to the part taken as of
the date of transfer of possession; (ii) Monthly Rent shall be reduced in the same proportion as
the square footage of the portion of the Premises taken bears to the square footage of the Premises
as

26

 

specified in Section 1.5 hereof; and, (iii) Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense,
make all necessary repairs or alterations to the Premises required to restore the Premises to
useful condition. During such repair or restoration, rent shall be abated proportionately as set
forth above. Tenant hereby waives any statutory rights of termination which may arise by reason of
any taking of the Premises under the power of Eminent Domain.

     16.3 AWARD. Tenant hereby renounces any interest in, and assigns to Landlord, any award made
in any Eminent Domain proceeding for any such Eminent Domain, provided that Landlord shall have no
interest in or be assigned any award made to Tenant for the taking of Tenant’s Property or for
Tenant’s relocation expenses. Tenant hereby specifically waives any right it may have to any
compensation award representing the excess of the market value, immediately before the taking, of
Tenant’s leasehold interest in the portion of the Premises taken over the rent attributable thereto
under the terms of this Lease.

ARTICLE XVII.

INDEMNIFICATION

     From and after the execution hereof, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify, and hold
Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, damages (whether actual, punitive or
otherwise), liabilities, actions, causes of action (whether legal, equitable or administrative),
claims, judgments, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and court
costs which Landlord may suffer or incur as a direct or indirect consequence of: (i) Tenant’s
failure to perform any of Tenant’s obligations as and when required by this Lease, including,
without limit, any failure, at any time, of any representation or warranty of Tenant to be true and
correct, and any failure by Tenant to satisfy any Lease condition; (iii) any claim or cause of
action of any kind by any person or entity to the effect that Landlord is in any way responsible or
liable for any act or omission by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or subcontractors,
whether on account of any theory of derivative liability or otherwise; (iv) any act or omission by
Tenant, any contractor, subcontractor or material supplier, engineer, architect or other person or
entity, except Landlord, with respect to the Premises or the Building; and/or (v) the existence or
creation of any Alterations or Tenant Property (whether or not the same has been approved of by
Landlord). Tenant shall employ counsel satisfactory to Landlord or, at Landlord’s option,
Landlord may retain its own counsel, at the expense of Tenant, to prosecute, negotiate and defend
any such claim, action or cause of action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be
obligated to indemnify Landlord with respect to any willful misconduct or negligence which Landlord
is personally determined by the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (sustained on appeal,
if any) to have committed. Tenant shall pay any indebtedness arising under said indemnity to
Landlord immediately upon demand by Landlord together with interest thereon, at the Remedy Rate,
from the date such indebtedness arises until paid. Tenant’s duty to indemnify Landlord shall
survive the termination or expiration of this Lease.

27

 

ARTICLE XVIII.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

     18.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute an
event of default and a material breach of this Lease on the part of Tenant:

          A. Failure to Make Payment. Tenant’s failure to pay any rent or other sums due
hereunder on the date when such payment is due, where such failure continues for five (5) days
after Landlord gives Tenant notice that such payment was not received, or Tenant’s failure on three
(3) occasions during any twelve (12) month period to timely pay rent on or before the due date as
provided for herein (even though subsequently cured).

          B. Failure in Environmental Compliance. Tenant’s breach of, or Tenant’s failure to
perform any act necessary to prevent the breach of, any covenant contained in Section 10.3
hereof, or the inaccuracy, incompleteness or untruth of any of Tenant’s representations and
warranties contained in Section 10.3 hereof.

          C. Failure to Perform Other Covenants. Tenant’s breach or failure to perform any of
Tenant’s other covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, where such breach or failure
continues for thirty (30) days after service of written notice to Tenant to cure any such breach or
failure except if a different notice or cure period or no notice or cure period is specified in
another provision of this Lease, including but limited to the events of defaults specified in
Subsections 18.1(A), 18.1(B) and 18.1(D) hereof.

          D. Bankruptcy Related. The making of a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors by Tenant, or the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition by or against Tenant
under the Bankruptcy Reform Act, as amended or recodified from time to time, or any other law
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief of debtors, or the appointment of a receiver to
take possession of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or the Premises or the leasehold
created by this Lease or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all
of Tenant’s assets or the Premises or the leasehold created by this Lease and in the case of an
involuntarily filed petition, such petition is not discharged within sixty (60) days after the date
of commencement, or Tenant’s failure to generally pay Tenant’s debts as such debts become due.

     18.2 REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an event of default by Tenant as set forth in
Section 18.1 above, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to
any and all other rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, including without
limit those provided under California Civil Code Sections 1951.2 and 1951.4 (Landlord may continue
Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Tenant
has right to sublease or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations), as amended or recodified
from time to time:

          A. Terminate Lease. Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and all
rights of Tenant hereunder by giving written notice to Tenant. If the Lease is so terminated, then
Landlord may recover from Tenant: (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent that had
been earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount
by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned from the time of such termination

28

 

until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been
reasonably avoided; plus (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid
rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss
that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate
Landlord for all the actual and consequential damages proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to
perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom; and (v) at Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in
lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable California law. As used
in Subsections (A)(i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed
by allowing interest at the Remedy Rate. As used in Subsection (A)(iii) above, the “worth
at the time of award” is 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%). All amounts owing under
this Subsection which are not paid when due shall bear interest at the Remedy Rate from the date
owing until paid and such interest shall be compounded monthly.

          B. Reenter Premises. Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating
this Lease, to reenter the Premises and to remove all persons and Tenant’s Property from the
Premises and store the Tenant’s Property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for
the account of Tenant.

          C. Maintain Lease; Relet Premises. Unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as
provided in Subsection 18.2(A) above, Landlord may from time to time, without terminating
this Lease, either recover all rent as it becomes due or relet the Premises or any part thereof for
such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as
Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to clean and to make alterations
and repairs to the Premises at Tenant’s sole expense.

     If Landlord elects to relet as provided herein, then rent received by Landlord from such
reletting shall be applied at Landlord’s option: first, to the payment of any indebtedness other
than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any cost of such
reletting (including attorneys’ fees, court costs and brokerage commissions); third, to the payment
of the cost of any cleaning, alterations and repairs to the Premises; fourth, to the payment of
rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the balance, if any, shall be applied in payment of future rent
as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If the portion of such rentals received from
such reletting during any month which is applied to the payment of rent under the reletting lease
is less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay any such
deficiency to Landlord immediately upon demand by Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated
monthly and Tenant shall pay such deficiency monthly. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord, upon
Landlord’s demand, the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting, including
attorneys’ fees, court costs and brokerage commissions and in making any alterations and repairs to
the Premises.

     No reentry, acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet, or taking possession of the
Premises by Landlord or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of the Landlord to protect
the Landlord’s interest under the Lease shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease
unless an express written notice of such intention is delivered to Tenant or unless the termination
thereof is decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting of the

29

 

Premises without termination of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord may at any time after such
reletting elect to terminate this Lease, in which case, Landlord shall have all the rights and
remedies provided by law or equity or this Lease upon termination.

          D. Performance by Landlord. If Tenant breaches or fails to perform any of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease and the breach or failure continues for thirty (30) days (or such
shorter time period as may be specified otherwise in this Lease) after Landlord gives Tenant
written notice of the breach or failure, Landlord, without thereby waiving or curing such may, but
shall not be obligated to, perform any such obligation for the account and at the expense of
Tenant. Landlord may also perform any such obligation without notice in case of an emergency.

          E. [INTENTIONALLY DELETED.].

          F. Receiver on Behalf of Landlord. If, at the instance of Landlord in any action
arising under this Lease, a receiver shall be appointed to take possession of the Premises or to
collect the rents derived therefrom, then the receiver may, if it shall be necessary or convenient
in order to collect such rents, conduct the business of Tenant then being carried on in the
Premises, and may take possession of any Tenant’s Property and other personal property and records
used in Tenant’s business and use the same in conducting such business, without compensation to
Tenant for such use. Neither application for nor the appointment of a receiver shall be construed
as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, unless express written notice of such election
is given to Tenant.

          G. Bankruptcy and Insolvency. In the event of the filing or commencement of any
proceeding by or against Tenant under the Federal Bankruptcy Code (as the same may be amended or
recodified from time to time), the Trustee, Receiver or Tenant, as a debtor in possession, subject
to court approval, shall not have the right to assume this Lease or to assign this Lease or to
pledge or hypothecate this Lease for security unless and until all of the following conditions are
first satisfied: (i) any defaults by Tenant under this Lease are cured or Landlord is provided
“adequate assurance” that such defaults will be promptly cured; (ii) Landlord is compensated, or
“adequate assurance” is provided to Landlord that Landlord will be promptly compensated, for any
actual pecuniary loss to Landlord resulting from any and all defaults by Tenant under the Lease;
and (iii) Landlord is provided “adequate assurance” of future performance of all of the covenants,
agreements and obligations of Tenant under the terms of this Lease.

     For the purposes of this Subsection, “adequate assurance” of future performance of the terms
and provisions of this Lease, shall include adequate assurance: (a) of the source of rent and other
consideration due under this Lease, and in the case of an assignment, that the financial condition
and operating performance of the proposed assignee and its guarantors, if any, shall be similar to
the financial condition and operating performance of the debtor-Tenant as of the Term Commencement
Date, as reasonably adjusted for inflation; (b) that assumption or assignment of this Lease is
subject to all the provisions of this Lease; and (c) of the performance of any other requirement
hereafter imposed by any Regulation or which landlords or courts are hereafter authorized or
permitted by law to impose on such an assumption, assignment, pledge or hypothecation.

30

 

     In any case under any chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code (as the same may be amended or
recodified from time to time), the Trustee, Receiver or Tenant, as debtor in possession, shall
timely perform all the obligations of the debtor-Tenant arising under this Lease from and after any
order for relief until this Lease is assumed or rejected. This paragraph shall not affect the
trustee’s or debtor-Tenant’s obligations under any other paragraph of this Subsection, and
acceptance of performance under this paragraph by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver or
relinquishment of Landlord’s rights under this Lease.

     The failure by the Trustee in any case under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code to assume or
reject this Lease sixty (60) days after the order for relief or within such additional time as the
Court, for cause, within such sixty (60) day period shall fix, shall be deemed a rejection, and the
Trustee shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. This Lease may not be assumed if it
has expired before commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding. The Trustee, Receiver, or Tenant, as
a debtor in possession, acting in accordance with the provisions contained in this Subsection,
shall not under any circumstances require Landlord to provide services or supplies incidental to
this Lease before any assumption of this Lease, unless Landlord shall be compensated under the
terms of this Lease for any services and supplies provided under this Lease before such assumption.

     18.3 LATE CHARGES. Landlord and Tenant agree that the fixing of actual damages for Tenant’s
breach of any of the provisions of this Lease, including but not limited to the late payment by
Tenant to Landlord of rent and other amounts due hereunder, would cause Landlord to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which would be extremely difficult or impracticable
to ascertain. Such costs include but are not limited to accounting, processing, administrative,
legal and clerical charges and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any
Deed of Trust covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or any other sum due
from Tenant hereunder has not been received by Landlord or Landlord’s agent within five (5) days
after such amount was due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of
any such delinquent installment of rent or any other delinquent sum due from Tenant. Landlord and
Tenant hereby agree that said late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost
Landlord would incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by
Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount nor
prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights and remedies provided for in this Lease, at law
or in equity. Tenant understands and agrees to the foregoing provisions relating to late charges.
If a late charge is payable by Tenant whether or not collected, for three (3) consecutive
installments of rent, then the Monthly Rent and Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes shall
automatically become due and payable to Landlord quarterly in advance, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Lease to the contrary.

     18.4 INTEREST ON PAST DUE OBLIGATIONS. Any and all amounts not paid to Landlord when due,
including but not limited to rent, late charges and interest shall bear interest, compounded
monthly from the date due until paid at Bank of America’s or its successor’s “Prime Rate” plus
three percent (3%) per annum (“Remedy Rate”). Bank of America’s or its successor’s “Prime Rate” is
a base rate of interest that is announced from time to time within Bank of America for those
obligations making reference thereto. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any
default by Tenant under this Lease and shall not affect any rights and remedies provided to
Landlord in this Lease or at law or in equity, all of which shall be cumulative.

31

 

     18.5 WAIVER OF REDEMPTION. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption
granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed
for any cause, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises by reason of the
violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease or otherwise. The rights
given to Landlord herein are in addition to any rights that may be given to Landlord by any statute
or otherwise.

     18.6 LANDLORD’S DEFAULT. Landlord shall in no event be charged with default in the
performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall have failed to
perform such obligations within thirty (30) days (or such additional time as is reasonably
necessary to correct any such failure) after receipt of written notice by Landlord from Tenant
properly specifying which obligations Landlord has failed to perform. It is expressly understood
and agreed that any money judgment against Landlord resulting from any default or other claim
arising under this Lease shall be satisfied only out of the rents, issues, profits and other income
(“income”) actually received from the Premises. No other real, personal or mixed property of
Landlord, wherever situated, shall be subject to levy on any such judgment obtained against
Landlord. If such income is insufficient for the payment of such judgment, Tenant shall not
institute any further action, suit, claim or demand, in law or in equity, against Landlord for or
on the account of such deficiency. Tenant hereby waives, to the fullest extent waivable under law,
any right to satisfy said money judgment against Landlord except from income received by Landlord
from the Premises during the Term hereof.

     18.7 LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO PERFORM. Upon Tenant’s failure to perform any obligation to Tenant
hereunder, including, without limitation, payment of Tenant’s insurance premiums and charges of
contractors who have supplied materials or labor to the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to
perform such obligations of Tenant on behalf of Tenant and/or to make payment on behalf of Tenant
to such parties. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the reasonable cost of Landlord’s performing such
obligations on Tenant’s behalf, including, without limitation, reimbursement of any amounts that
may be expended by Landlord and Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, plus interest from the date
of any expenditure of sums at the Remedy Rate.

     18.8 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED.].

ARTICLE XIX.

SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

     19.1 SUBORDINATION. At Landlord’s option, this Lease is and shall be subordinate to any
ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust and/or any other hypothecation or security document and
advances and obligations thereunder now or hereafter placed upon the Land or the Building, and any
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions thereof (individually and
collectively, “Deed of Trust”), provided Tenant’s right to quiet possession under this Lease shall
not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default, or with notice or passage of time or both
would not be in default, under the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease. Such
subordination shall be effective upon notice from Landlord to Tenant without any further act of
Tenant. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall, from time to time, execute and

32

 

deliver any documents or instruments that may be required by Landlord or the mortgagee,
beneficiary, ground lessor or lender (“Landlord’s Lender”) under any such Deed of Trust, to
effectuate any subordination, provided that any such Landlord’s Lender agrees not to disturb
Tenant’s right to quiet possession under this Lease so long as Tenant is not in default, or with
notice or passage of time or both would not be in default, under the terms, covenants, conditions
and provisions of this Lease. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver any such documents or
instruments, Tenant irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant’s special
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute and deliver any such documents or
instruments. If Landlord’s Lender elects to have this Lease prior to the lien of its Deed of
Trust, and gives written notice to Tenant of such election, this Lease shall be deemed prior to
such Deed of Trust regardless of the respective dates of execution, delivery and recordation of
this Lease and any such Deed of Trust.

     19.2 ATTORNMENT. Tenant hereby attorns to and shall recognize the Landlord’s Lender as
Tenant’s landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that
Landlord may require to evidence such attornment. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as
Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute, acknowledge and deliver the
instrument of attornment on behalf of Tenant.

     19.3 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Upon the request of the Landlord, Tenant at any time and from time
to time shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Landlord, no later than ten (10) days after
Landlord’s request therefor, an estoppel certificate (“Estoppel Certificate”) in a form reasonably
requested by Landlord or Landlord’s Lender. The Estoppel Certificate may be conclusively relied
upon by a prospective lender, purchaser, or encumbrancer of Landlord’s interest in the Premises.
Failure to deliver the Estoppel Certificate within ten (10) days of such request shall be
conclusive upon Tenant that: (i) this Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) there are no uncured
defaults in Landlord’s or Tenant’s performance; (iii) not more than one month’s Monthly Rent and
Additional Rent have been paid in advance; and, (iv) the Security Deposit is in an amount equal to
that specified in Section 1.14 hereof. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as its
attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, to execute any such Estoppel
Certificate upon Tenant’s failure to do so within such ten (10) day period.

     19.4 RIGHTS OF LANDLORD’S LENDER AND LANDLORD’S PURCHASER. If any Landlord’s Lender or any
purchaser of Landlord’s interest in the Building or Land (“Landlord’s Purchaser”) requires a
modification of this Lease at any time, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, promptly execute and
deliver to Landlord instruments effecting the modifications that the Landlord’s Lender or
Landlord’s Purchaser reasonably requires, provided that such modifications do not increase the
rent, reduce the size of the Premises or otherwise adversely affect in any material respect any of
Tenant’s rights under this Lease. If Landlord’s Lender or Landlord’s Purchaser has given prior
written notice to Tenant that it is the Landlord’s Lender or Landlord’s Purchaser and such notice
includes the address at which notices to such Landlord’s Lender or Landlord’s Purchaser are to be
sent, then Tenant shall give Landlord’s Lender or Landlord’s Purchaser, as the case may be, written
notice simultaneously with any notice given to Landlord to correct any failure of Landlord to
perform any of Landlord’s obligations. Landlord’s Lender and Landlord’s Purchaser shall have the
right after receipt of said written notice to correct or remedy such failure within a reasonable
period of time.

33

 

     19.5 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Whenever Landlord (or any successor landlord) conveys its
interest in the Land or Building, Landlord (or any successor landlord) shall be automatically
released from the further performance of covenants on the part of Landlord herein contained, and
from any and all further liability, obligations, costs and expenses, demands, causes of action,
claims or judgments arising from or growing out of, or connected with this Lease accruing on and
after the effective date of said conveyance. If requested, Tenant shall execute a form of release
and such other documentation as may be required to further effect the provisions of this Section.
In the event of such a conveyance, the covenants and agreements of Landlord shall thereafter be
binding upon the transferee of Landlord’s interest.

ARTICLE XX.

FORCE MAJEURE

     If either party hereto shall be delayed in or prevented from the performance of any act
required hereunder by reason of acts of God, labor troubles, inability to procure materials,
restrictive Regulations, inclement weather, acts of the public enemy, riot, insurrection, boycotts,
strikes or such other causes without fault and beyond the control of the party obligated (financial
inability excepted), performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay and the
period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period
of such delay; provided, however, nothing in this Section shall delay the Rent Commencement Date or
excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of any rent or other charge required of Tenant hereunder,
except as may be expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease.

ARTICLE XXI.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

     21.1 LANDLORD’S CONSENT. Tenant shall not voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law
assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or encumber (individually or
collectively, “Transfer”) all or any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises,
without first obtaining Landlord’s express written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. No consent to any Transfer shall constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section.
If Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law,
of any partner, or the dissolution of the partnership, shall be deemed a Transfer requiring
Landlord’s consent. If Tenant consists of more than one person or entity, a purported assignment,
voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, from one person to the other shall be deemed a
Transfer requiring Landlord’s consent. If Tenant is a corporation, any dissolution, merger,
consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant, or the sale or other transfer of any of the
capital stock of Tenant or the value of the assets of Tenant, shall not be deemed a Transfer
requiring Landlord’s consent. Landlord and Tenant agree (by way of example and without limitation)
that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a Transfer if any of the
following situations exist or may exist: (i) the proposed Transferee’s (as defined below) use of
the Premises conflicts with the “use of Premises” as set forth in Section 1.13 or,
regardless of any conflict, is of a type or nature that would have a negative effect on the
reputation or value of the Building; (ii) in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the proposed
Transferee lacks

34

 

sufficient business reputation or experience to operate a successful business of the type and
quality permitted under this Lease; (iii) Tenant is in default pursuant to this Lease; (iv) in
Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the present net worth of the proposed Transferee is less
than the greater of Tenant’s net worth as of the date of this Lease or Tenant’s net worth at the
date of Tenant’s request for consent; (v) the proposed Transferee has been involved in bona fide
negotiations with Landlord for space in the Building within the preceding twelve (12) months; (vi)
the rent for the sublease or assignment is less than the fair market value for comparable space at
the time of such sublease or assignment, as determined by Landlord; (vii) the sublease or
assignment will result in more than two (2) occupants per floor within the Premises, including
Tenant and all subtenants; (viii) the Premises are not regular in shape with appropriate means of
ingress and egress and suitable for normal renting purposes; and/or (ix) the proposed subtenant or
assignee is either a government (or subdivision or agency thereof) or an occupant of the Building.

     Any attempted or purported Transfer without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be void and
of no force or effect, and shall not confer any estate or benefit on anyone. A consent to one (1)
Transfer by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent Transfer to any other
party.

     21.2 NOTICE OF TRANSFER. Tenant shall give Landlord at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written
notice of any requested Transfer and of the proposed terms of such Transfer (“Transfer Notice”),
including but not limited to: (i) the name and legal composition of the proposed assignee,
sublessee, encumbrancer or transferee (“Transferee”); (ii) the proposed Transferee’s financial
statement(s) for the prior three (3) years, prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied; (iii) the portion of the Premises Tenant proposes to
Transfer (including square footage and location); (iv) such other information as Landlord may
reasonably require; and, (v) the nature of the proposed Transferee’s business to be carried on in
the Premises and shall, in addition, pay Landlord One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) as reimbursement
for Landlord’s attorneys’ fees and administrative costs in reviewing the terms of the proposed
Transfer. The foregoing terms shall be in sufficient detail to enable Landlord to evaluate the
proposed Transfer and the prospective Transferee. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the
Transfer Notice, Landlord shall either approve or disapprove of such Transfer; provided, however,
that Landlord shall be deemed to have disapproved the Transfer Notice if Landlord has not sent
Tenant written notice of Landlord’s approval within such thirty (30) day period. Tenant shall
immediately notify Landlord of any modification to the proposed terms of such Transfer. Tenant
shall also provide to Landlord copies of the fully executed documents pertaining to the Transfer
after the Transfer has become effective.

     21.3 LANDLORD’S RIGHTS. Landlord shall have the right to condition Landlord’s consent to any
Transfer upon Tenant’s and the Transferee’s executing a written assumption agreement, in a form
approved by Landlord. The assumption agreement shall require the Transferee to expressly assume
all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall require Tenant and Transferee to be and remain
jointly and severally liable for the performance of all conditions, covenants, and obligations
under this Lease from the effective date of the Transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Lease.
Regardless of Landlord’s consent to any Transfer, no Transfer shall release Tenant of Tenant’s
obligation or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay rent and to perform all other
obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any
Transferee shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Article.

35

 

These rights are in addition to Landlord’s right to withhold its consent to any Transfer, and
may be exercised by Landlord in its sole discretion without limiting Landlord in the exercise of
any other right or remedy at law or in equity which Landlord may have by reason of such Transfer.
In the event of default by any Transferee, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the
necessity of exhausting remedies against said Transferee. Tenant expressly agrees that the
provisions of this Article XXI are not unreasonable standards or conditions for purposes of
Section 1951.4(b)(2) of the California Civil Code, as amended or recodified from time to time.

     If Landlord consents to the assignment or sublease, Landlord shall be entitled to receive as
additional Rent hereunder an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount (if any) by which
the total value of (x) any consideration paid by the Transferee for the assignment or sublease and,
in the case of a sublease, the excess of the rent and other consideration payable by the subtenant
over the amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder applicable to the subleased
space, exceeds (y) the reasonable direct, out of pocket costs (such as, but not necessarily limited
to, reasonable brokerage commissions, tenant improvement costs, attorneys’ fees, and other cash
concessions as may be typical, reasonable and appropriate under then prevailing market conditions)
actually and necessarily paid by Tenant to third parties not affiliated with Tenant to procure the
assignment or sublease.

ARTICLE XXII.

NOTICES

     All notices, information, requests or replies (“Notice”) required or permitted to be given
hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be given or served personally or by depositing the
same in the United States mail, express or certified, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or
with a nationally-recognized overnight courier service that guarantees next business day delivery,
addressed to the addresses of Tenant and Landlord specified as “Addresses for Notices and Reports”
in Section 1.16, or at such other place as either Landlord or Tenant may, from time to time
designate in a written notice by registered or certified mail given to the other. Notice shall be
deemed sufficiently served upon receipt or refusal if receipt is refused.

ARTICLE XXIII.

AUTHORITY

     If Tenant is a corporation, trust, or general or limited partnership, each individual
executing this Lease on behalf of such entity represents and warrants that he or she is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said entity. If Tenant is a corporation,
trust or partnership, Tenant shall, simultaneously with execution of this Lease, deliver to
Landlord written evidence of such authority satisfactory to Landlord.

36

 

ARTICLE XXIV.

QUIET ENJOYMENT

     Tenant, upon keeping, observing and performing all of the covenants and agreements of this
Lease on its part to be kept, observed, and performed, shall lawfully and quietly hold, occupy and

obligations of Tenant or any other party.

     27.5 NO MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual
cancellation thereof, shall not work as a merger, but shall, at the option of Landlord, either
terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or operate as an assignment to Landlord of
any or all such subleases or subtenancies.

37

 

     27.6 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Lease or application thereof to any person or
circumstances shall to any extent be invalid, the remainder of this Lease (including the

enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

MISCELLANEOUS

     29.1 TIME. Time is of the essence hereof.

     29.2 SUCCESSORS. Subject to the restrictions on Transfer contained in Article XXI hereof, all
the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors, administrators, transferees, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

     29.3 RECORDATION. Tenant shall not record this Lease or any memorandum hereof. Landlord has
the right in its absolute discretion to record this Lease or a memorandum hereof, and, upon
Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute and have acknowledged the same for recordation, and shall
pay all required documentary transfer taxes in connection therewith.

38

 

     29.4 NO RECOURSE. The obligations of the Landlord under this Lease shall be without recourse
to of any partner, officer, trustee, beneficiary, shareholder, director, unitholder or employee of
Landlord or to any of their assets. The sole recourse of Tenant for any obligation of the Landlord
under this Lease shall be limited to the income and profits from the Premises during the Term
hereof.

     29.5 BROKER. Except for the broker specified in Section 1.15 of this Lease, if any,
Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant to each other that it has not retained the services of
any other broker or real estate licensee and owes no other person or entity any finder’s or
broker’s fee, commission or payment of any kind whatsoever. Landlord and Tenant shall defend,
indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, costs, expenses
or liabilities related to or connected with any broker’s or finder’s fee, commission or payment of
any kind asserted by any person or entity except for the broker specified in Section 1.15
of this Lease.

     29.6 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED.].

     29.7 NO LIGHT, AIR OR VIEW EASEMENT. No diminution or shutting off of light, air, or view by
any structure which may be erected on property near or adjacent to the Premises or Building shall
in any way affect this Lease or impose any liability upon Landlord.

     29.8 ATTORNEYS’ FEES. If the services of an attorney are required by any party to secure the
performance hereof or otherwise upon the breach or default of another party; or otherwise upon the
breach or default of another party, or if any judicial remedy is necessary to enforce or interpret
any provision of this Lease or the rights and duties of any person in relation thereto, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, which shall consist of
the fees and costs for services rendered by counsel, the fees and costs for services of experts,
and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the action, including those costs and
expenses recoverable as allowable costs of suit under the applicable state or federal statute and
those attorney fees and costs incurred executing upon or appealing any judgment, as well as all
other expenses incurred during the course of the action. Any award of damages following judicial
remedy as a result of the breach of this Lease or any of its provisions shall include an award of
prejudgment interest from the date of the breach at the maximum amount of interest allowed by law.
Landlord and Tenant covenant and agree that Landlord and Tenant intend by this Article to
compensate for attorneys’ fees actually incurred by the prevailing party at such attorneys’ then
normal hourly rates and that this Article shall constitute an instruction to the court that such
rate or rates shall be deemed reasonable.

     29.9 WAIVER. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach of any covenant by either party
hereunder shall be implied from any omission by either party to take action on account of such
default if such default persists or is repeated. Landlord’s acceptance of any payment of rent
which is less than that required to be paid by Tenant shall be deemed to have been received only on
account of the obligation for which it is paid and shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction,
notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary asserted by Tenant, written on any check or
contained in any transmittal letter. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term or covenant hereof,
other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s
knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent, and

39

 

Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the
balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. An express waiver must be
in writing and signed by a person with the power to contractually bind Tenant or Landlord. An
express waiver shall affect only the default specified in the waiver, and only for the time and to
the extent expressly stated. Waivers by either party of any covenant, term, or condition contained
herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term, or
condition.

     29.10 [INTENTIONALLY DELETED.].

     29.11 SUBMISSION OF LEASE. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation
does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for leasing the Premises.
This document shall become effective and binding only upon execution and delivery hereof by
Landlord. No act or omission of any employee or agent of Landlord or of Landlord’s broker or
managing agent shall alter, change, or modify any of the provisions hereof.

     LANDLORD AND TENANT HAVE CAREFULLY READ AND REVIEWED THIS LEASE AND EACH TERM AND PROVISION
CONTAINED HEREIN AND, BY EXECUTION OF THIS LEASE, SHOW THEIR INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY CONSENT
THERETO. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT, AT THE TIME THIS LEASE IS EXECUTED, THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE
ARE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE AND EFFECTUATE THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF LANDLORD AND TENANT WITH
RESPECT TO THE PREMISES.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Lease or, as the case may be, have
caused their officers thereunto duly authorized to execute this Lease, in duplicate, the day and

EXHIBIT “A”

(Land Description)

     Exhibit “A” to Lease by and between Oakmead Parkway Properties Partnership, a
California general partnership, as Landlord, and Mellanox Technologies, Inc., a California
corporation, as Tenant, dated as of August 1, 2008.

     The Land is legally described as follows:

EXHIBIT “D”

(OPTION TO EXTEND TERM)

          Tenant is given the option to extend the Term of this Lease for one (1) additional term of
sixty (60) months (an “extended term”) following expiration of the initial Term, by giving written
Notice of exercise of the option (“option notice”) to the Landlord at least six (6) months but not
more than one (1) year before the expiration of the Term provided, however, that if Tenant is in
default on the date of giving the option notice, the option notice shall be totally ineffective, or
if Tenant 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. Tenant’s option to extend the
Term under this Exhibit E is personal to Tenant and shall automatically terminate upon any
“Transfer” of this Lease requiring Landlord’s Consent, as defined in Section 14.9, or if the use of
the Premises is changed from that set forth in Section 5.1. The same terms and conditions as
applied during the initial Term of this Lease shall apply to the extended term except that (i) the
Monthly Base Rent for the extended term shall be the fair market rental rate to be determined by
the parties as specified below, and (ii) there shall be no further right or option to extend.

          Provided Tenant has exercised the option to extend the Term in the manner set forth above, the
Parties shall mutually choose an objective third party to determine ninety five percent (95%) of
the fair market rental rate for the Premises during the extended term. Tenant shall have ten (10)
days from receipt of this determination to accept, reject or make a different offer of said Monthly
Base Rent in writing. Unless Tenant accepts this determination, the parties shall make good faith
efforts to negotiate the new Monthly Base Rent. If Tenant does not accept the third party
determination and the parties are unable to agree upon a new Monthly Base Rent within twenty (20)
days after said ten (10) day period the Lease shall expire at the original expiration date of the
initial Term. If Tenant accepts the third party determination in writing within such ten (10) day
period, or the parties otherwise agree within said 20-day period, then the parties shall
immediately execute an amendment to the Lease stating the Monthly Base Rent for the extended term.
Tenant shall have no other right to extend the Term beyond the extended term.

AS LANDLORD,

AND

MELLANOX TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,

a California corporation,

AS TENANT

(the “LEASE”)

CONSTRUCTION RIDER

          This Construction Rider shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction
of the tenant improvements in the Premises. This Construction Rider is essentially organized
chronologically and addresses the issues of the construction of the Premises, in sequence, as such
issues will arise during the actual construction of the Premises. All capitalized terms used but
not defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Lease. All references in this
Construction Rider to Articles or Sections of “the Lease” shall mean the relevant portion of the
Office Space Lease to which this Construction Rider is attached as Exhibit E and of which
this Construction Rider forms a part, and all references in this Construction Rider to Sections of
“this Construction Rider” shall mean the relevant portion of this Construction Rider.

SECTION 1

LANDLORD’S INITIAL CONSTRUCTION IN THE PREMISES

     1.1 Base Building as Constructed by Landlord. Landlord is familiar with the base
building work (the “Base Building”) and the plans and specifications for the Base Building (the
“Plans”).

     1.2 Landlord Work. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, as provided
below, cause the construction and installation of the following Tenant Improvements for the
Premises (collectively, the “Landlord Work”), which Landlord Work shall be installed or constructed
consistent with the Plans, and shall, unless otherwise indicated, be installed and constructed in
compliance with, and only to the extent required by, applicable building code (the “Code”).

SECTION 2

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

     2.1 Tenant Improvement Allowance. Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time tenant
improvement allowance (the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”) in the amount Six Hundred Thirty Eight
Thousand Seventy Five Dollars ($638,075.00), for the costs relating to the initial design and
construction of Tenant’s improvements, including the Landlord Work, which are permanently affixed
to the Premises (the “Tenant Improvements”). In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make
disbursements pursuant to this Construction Rider in a total amount which exceeds the Tenant
Improvement Allowance and any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance remaining after
construction of the Tenant Improvements shall belong to Landlord. All Tenant Improvements, whether
paid for by Landlord or Tenant, shall become a part of the Premises, shall be the property of
Landlord and, subject to the provisions of the Lease, shall be surrendered by Tenant with the
Premises, without any compensation to Tenant, at the expiration or termination of the Lease, in
accordance with the provisions of the Lease.

Exhibit “E”

Page 1 of 6

 

 

     2.2 Disbursement of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. Except as otherwise set forth
in this Construction Rider, the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord (each
of which disbursements shall be made pursuant to Landlord’s disbursement process) only for the
following items and costs (collectively, the “Tenant Improvement Allowance Items”):

          2.2.1 Payment of the fees of the “Space Planner”, “Architect” and the “Engineers”, as those
terms are defined in Section 3.1 of this Construction Rider, and payment of the fees incurred by,
and the cost of documents and materials supplied by, Landlord and Landlord’s consultants in
connection with the preparation and review of the “Construction Drawings”, as that term is defined
in Section 3.1 of this Construction Rider, but shall not include any Landlord supervision or
Landlord administrative fees associated with Tenant’s Improvements;

          2.2.2 The payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the
Tenant Improvements;

          2.2.3 The cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation,
testing and inspection costs, hoisting and trash removal costs, and contractors’ fees and general
conditions;

          2.2.4 The cost of any changes in the Base Building work or the Landlord Work when such changes
are required by the Construction Drawings, such cost to include all direct architectural and/or
engineering fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith;

          2.2.5 The cost of any changes to the Construction Drawings, Tenant Improvements or Landlord’s
Work required by Code;

          2.2.6 Sales and use taxes and Title 24 fees;

          2.2.7 The cost of the Landlord Work; and

          2.2.8 All other costs to be expended by Landlord in connection with the construction of the
Tenant Improvements.

SECTION 3

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

     3.1 Selection of Space Planner/Architect/Construction Drawings. Landlord’s space
planner (the “Space Planner”), shall define Tenant’s space requirements. Such Space Planner shall
prepare the “Final Space Plan”, as that term is defined in Section 3.2 below. Landlord’s architect
(the “Architect”) shall prepare the “Construction Drawings” (as such term is defined in this
Section 3.1 below), which Construction Drawings shall be prepared based on the Final Space Plan.
Landlord may retain engineering consultants (the “Engineers”) to prepare all plans and engineering
working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life safety,
and sprinkler work in the Premises, which work is not part of the Base Building or Landlord Work.
The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known
collectively as the “Construction Drawings”. Landlord’s review of the Final Space Plan, as set
forth in this Section 3, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s approval of
the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other
like matters.

     3.2 Final Space Plan. Tenant and the Space Planner shall prepare the final space for
Tenant Improvements in the Premises, shall receive preliminary plan check approval for the same
from the City of Sunnyvale (collectively, the “Final Space Plan”), which Final Space Plan shall
include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use,
and equipment to be contained therein, and shall deliver the Final Space Plan and proof of receipt
of preliminary plan check approval to Landlord for Landlord’s approval.

     3.3 Non-Standard Improvement Package Items. Tenant shall provide Landlord, for
Landlord’s approval, details and information with complete specifications to allow Landlord to
prepare a “Partial Cost Proposal”,

Exhibit “E”

Page 2 of 6

 

 

as that term is defined below in Section 4.2 of this Construction Rider, for all materials,
components, finishes, equipment, and improvements which are not part of Landlord’s Work.

     3.4 Final Working Drawings. Architect and the Engineers shall complete the
architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and the final architectural working
drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work, to obtain all
applicable permits, and to subsequently construct the work (collectively, the “Final Working
Drawings”).

     3.5 Permits.

          3.5.1 Permits. After the approval of the Final Working Drawings by Landlord (the
“Approved Working Drawings”), Landlord shall cause the Architect to submit same to the City of
Sunnyvale for all applicable building permits necessary to allow Contractor to commence and fully
complete the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the “Permits”). Tenant shall use its best
efforts and all due diligence to cooperate with Architect, the Engineers, Landlord and
“Contractor”, as that term is defined in Section 4.1, below, to do all acts necessary, including
cooperation in the preparation of shop drawings, if necessary, to obtain the Permits.

          3.5.2 Other Terms. No changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working
Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, provided that Landlord may
withhold its consent, in its sole discretion, to any change in the Approved Working Drawings, if
such change would directly or indirectly delay the Substantial Completion of the Premises.

     3.6 Time Deadlines. Tenant shall use its best, good faith efforts and all due
diligence to cooperate with Architect, the Engineers, and Landlord to complete all phases of the
Construction Drawings and the permitting process, and with Contractor for approval of the Final
Costs (as defined in Section 4.2.1 below) as soon as possible after the execution of the Lease.

SECTION 4

CONSTRUCTION OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

     4.1 Contractor. Landlord’s contractor (“Contractor”) shall construct the Tenant
Improvements.

     4.2 Cost Proposal. After the Approved Working Drawings are signed by Landlord and
Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a cost proposal in accordance with the Approved Working
Drawings, which cost proposal shall include, as nearly as possible, the cost of all Tenant
Improvement Allowance Items to be incurred in connection with the construction of the Tenant
Improvements (the “Cost Proposal”). Landlord shall obtain from Contractor construction costs
(plus) basis on approved Tenant specification for the Tenant Improvements work, including change
orders. Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith in an attempt to agree upon a
mutually acceptable Cost Proposal as soon as reasonably possible. Landlord anticipates that
Contractor shall arrange plumbing, HVAC, electrical and fire control on a design/build basis, and
that the remainder of the work shall be put to bid to at least three (3) qualified subcontractors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, portions of the cost of the Tenant Improvements may be delivered to
Tenant as such portions of the Tenant Improvements are priced by Contractor (on an individual
item-by-item or trade-by-trade basis), even before the Approved Working Drawings are completed (the
“Partial Cost Proposal”) for purposes of facilitating the early purchase of items and construction
of the same. Tenant shall approve and deliver the Cost Proposal to Landlord within five (5)
business days of the receipt of the same, or, as to a Partial Cost Proposal within two (2) business
days of receipt of the same, and upon receipt of the same by Landlord, Landlord shall be released
by Tenant to purchase the items set forth in the Cost Proposal or Partial Cost Proposal, as the
case may be, and to commence the construction relating to such items. The date by which Tenant
must approve and deliver the Cost Proposal or the last Partial Cost Proposal to Landlord, as the
case may be, shall be known hereafter as the “Cost Proposal Delivery Date”. The total of all
Partial Cost Proposals, if any, shall be known as the Cost Proposal.

     4.3 Construction of Tenant Improvements by Landlord’s Contractor under the Supervision of
Landlord.

Exhibit “E”

Page 3 of 6

 

 

          4.3.1 Over-Allowance Amount. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Premises
by Landlord to Tenant as provided below, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord cash in an amount (the
“Over-Allowance Amount”) equal to the difference between (i) the amount of the Cost Proposal and
(ii) the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In the event that, after the Cost Proposal
Date, any revisions, changes, or substitutions shall be made to the Construction Drawings or the
Tenant Improvements, any additional costs which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or
substitutions or any other additional costs, shall be added to the Cost Proposal for determining
any Over-Allowance Amount.

          4.3.2 Landlord’s Retainment of Contractor. Landlord shall independently retain
Contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the Approved Working Drawings
and the Cost Proposal.

          4.3.3 Contractor’s Warranties and Guaranties. Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all
warranties and guaranties by Contractor relating to the Tenant Improvements, and Tenant hereby
waives all claims against Landlord relating to, or arising out of the construction of, the Tenant
Improvements. Such warranties and guaranties of Contractor shall guarantee that the Tenant
Improvements shall be free from any defects in workmanship and materials for a period of not less
than one (1) year from the date of completion thereof, and Contractor shall be responsible for the
replacement or repair, without additional charge, of the Tenant Improvements that shall become
defective within one (1) year after Substantial Completion of the Premises. The correction of such
work shall include, without additional charge, all additional expenses and damages in connection
with such removal or replacement of all or any part of the Tenant Improvements.

          4.3.4 Tenant’s Covenants. Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord for any loss, claims,
damages or delays arising from the actions of Space Planner with respect to the Premises.

     4.4 Substantial Completion. The Tenant Improvements shall be deemed to be
“Substantially Completed” when they have been completed in accordance with the Final Working
Drawings except for finishing details, minor omissions, decorations and mechanical adjustments of
the type normally found on an architectural “punch list” but not before the date, when the City of
Sunnyvale issues a Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises (or if no such certificates are issued
by the City, then upon a signoff by the City of the permit card for the Tenant Improvements). (The
definition of Substantially Completed shall also define the terms “Substantial Completion” and
“Substantially Complete.”) Following Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements and before
Tenant takes possession of the Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall inspect the Premises and jointly
prepare a “punch list” of agreed items of construction remaining to be completed. Landlord shall
complete the items set forth in the punch list as soon as reasonably possible. Tenant shall
cooperate with and accommodate Landlord and its workers in completing the items on the punch list.
After Substantial Completion and upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant with a
copy of the final plans for the Tenant Improvement work.

     4.5 Delivery of Premises. Upon Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements,
Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant. If Landlord has not Substantially
Completed the Tenant Improvements and tendered possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before
the Term Commencement Date specified in the Lease, or if Landlord is unable for any other reason to
deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before such date, neither Landlord nor its
representatives shall be liable to Tenant for any damages resulting from the delay in completing
such construction obligations and/or delivering possession to Tenant and the Lease shall remain in
full force and effect unless and until it is terminated under the express provisions of this
Section. If any delays in Substantially Completing the Tenant Improvements are attributable to
Tenant Delays (as defined in Section 5 of this Construction Rider), then the Premises shall be
deemed to have been Substantially Completed and delivered to Tenant on the date on which Landlord
could have Substantially Completed the Premises and tendered the Premises to Tenant but for such
Tenant Delays. If Tenant fails to perform any of Tenant’s obligations under this Construction
Rider within the time periods specified herein, Landlord may, in lieu of terminating the Lease
under the foregoing provisions, treat such failure of performance as an Event of Default under the
Lease.

LEASE COMMENCEMENT DATE

          Tenant shall be responsible for, and shall pay Landlord, any and all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord as a result of a delay in the Substantial Completion of the Premises or in the
occurrence of any of the other conditions precedent to the Commencement Date, due to:

     5.1 [Intentionally omitted.];

     5.2 Tenant’s failure to timely approve any matter requiring Tenant’s approval;

     5.3 A breach by Tenant of the terms of this Construction Rider or the Lease;

     5.4 Changes in any of the Construction Drawings after disapproval of the same by Landlord or
because the same do not comply with Code or other applicable laws;

     5.5 Tenant’s request for changes in the Approved Working Drawings;

or

     5.8 Any other acts or omissions of Tenant, or its agents, or employees.

SECTION 6

MISCELLANEOUS

     6.1 Tenant’s Entry Into the Premises Prior to Substantial Completion. Provided that
Tenant and its agents do not interfere with Contractor’s work in the Building and the Premises,
Contractor shall allow Tenant access to the Premises prior to the Substantial Completion of the
Premises (but if such access is to be prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy (or
other governmental signoff for the Tenant Improvements if such certificates are not issued) for the
Tenant Improvements, then such access shall be only as allowed by the City of Sunnyvale) for the
purpose of Tenant installing overstandard equipment or fixtures (including Tenant’s data and
telephone equipment) in the Premises. Prior to Tenant’s entry into the Premises as permitted by
the terms of this Section 6.1, Tenant shall submit a schedule to Landlord and Contractor, for their
approval, which schedule shall detail the timing and purpose of Tenant’s entry, and Tenant shall
provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant’s insurance, as described in
Article X, Insurance of the Lease, shall be in effect as of the time of such entry. Such
permission may be revoked at any time upon twenty-four (24) hours’ notice, and Tenant and its
representatives shall not interfere with Landlord or Contractor in completing the Tenant
Improvements. Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and indemnify, protect and defend Landlord
against any loss or damage to the Building or Premises and against injury to any persons caused by
Tenant’s actions pursuant to this Section 6.1.

     6.2 [[INTENTIONALLY DELETED.].]

     6.3 Tenant’s Representative. Tenant has designated Michael Gray and LeeAnn Kennedy
Stewart as its only representatives with respect to the matters set forth in this Construction
Rider, either of who, until further notice to Landlord, shall have full authority and
responsibility to act on behalf of Tenant as required in this Construction Rider.

Exhibit “E”

Page 5 of 6

 

 

     6.4 Landlord’s Representative. Landlord has designated Donald H. Mac Millan and David
Mac Millan as its representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Construction Rider,
who, until further notice to Tenant, shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf
of Landlord as required in this Construction Rider.

     6.5 Time of the Essence in this Construction Rider. Unless otherwise indicated, all
references herein to a “number of days” shall mean and refer to calendar days. In all instances
where Tenant is required to approve or deliver an item, if no written notice of approval is given
or the item is not delivered within the stated time period, at Landlord’s sole option, at the end
of such period the item shall automatically be deemed approved and delivered by Tenant and the next
succeeding time period shall commence.

     6.6 Tenant’s Lease Default. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
in the Lease, if an event of default as described in Section 18.1 of this Lease, or a default by
Tenant under this Construction Rider, has occurred at any time on or before the Substantial
Completion of the Premises, then (i) in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to
Landlord pursuant to the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to withhold payment of all or any
portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance and/or Landlord may cause Contractor to cease the
construction of the Premises (in which case, Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the
Substantial Completion of the Premises caused by such work stoppage as set forth in Section 5.3 of
this Construction Rider), and (ii) all other obligations of Landlord under the terms of this
Construction Rider shall be forgiven until such time as such default is cured pursuant to the terms
of the Lease.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have entered into this Construction Rider concurrently
with the Lease.

(Rules And Regulations)

	1.	 	No sign, placard, picture, advertisement, name or notice shall be installed or displayed on
any part of the outside or inside of the Building without the prior written consent of
Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to remove, at Tenant’s expense and without notice,
any sign installed or displayed in violation of this rule. All approved signs or lettering on
doors and walls shall be printed, painted, affixed or inscribed at the expense of Tenant by a
person chosen by Landlord.

	2.	 	If Landlord objects in writing to any curtains, blinds, shades, screens or hanging plants or
other similar objects attached to or used in connection with any window or door of the
Premises, Tenant shall immediately discontinue such use. No awning shall be permitted on any
part of the Premises. Tenant shall not place anything against or near glass partitions or
doors or windows which may appear unsightly from outside the Premises.

	3.	 	Tenant shall not obstruct any sidewalks, halls, passages, exits, entrances, elevators,
escalators, or stairways of the Building. The halls, passages, exits, entrances, shopping
malls, elevators, escalators and stairways are not open to the general public. Landlord shall
in all cases retain the right to control and prevent access thereto of all persons whose
presence in the judgment of Landlord would be prejudicial to the safety, character, reputation
and interest of the Building and its tenants; provided that nothing herein contained shall be
construed to prevent such access to persons with whom any tenant normally deals in the
ordinary course of its business, unless such persons are engaged in illegal activities. No
tenant and no employee or invitee of any tenant shall go upon the roof of the Building.

	4.	 	The directory of the Building will be provided exclusively for the display of the name and
location of tenants only, and Landlord reserves the right to exclude any other names
therefrom.

	5.	 	All cleaning and janitorial services for the Building and the Premises shall be provided
exclusively through Landlord, and except with the written consent of Landlord, no person or
persons other than those approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Building for the
purpose of cleaning the same. Tenant shall not cause any unnecessary labor by carelessness or
indifference to the good order and cleanliness of the Premises. Landlord shall not in any way
be responsible to any Tenant for any loss of property on the Premises, however occurring, or
for any damage to any Tenant’s property by the janitor or any other employee or any other
person.

	6.	 	Landlord will furnish Tenant, at Tenant’s cost (unless such cost is paid from any tenant
improvement allowance, if applicable, available to Tenant by Landlord), with two keys to each
exterior door lock in the Premises. Landlord may make a reasonable charge for any additional
keys. Tenant shall not make or have made additional keys, and Tenant shall not alter any lock
or install a new additional lock or bolt on any door of its Premises. Tenant, upon the
termination of its tenancy, shall deliver to Landlord the keys of all doors which have been
furnished to Tenant, and in the event of loss of any keys so furnished, shall pay Landlord
therefor.

	7.	 	If Tenant requires telegraphic, telephonic, burglar alarm or similar services, it shall first
obtain, and comply with, Landlord’s instructions in their installation.

	8.	 	Any freight elevator shall be available for use by all tenants in the Building, subject to
such reasonable scheduling as Landlord in its discretion shall deem appropriate. No
equipment, materials, furniture, packages, supplies, merchandise or other property will be
received in the Building or carried in the elevators except between such hours and in such
elevators as may be designated by Landlord.

	9.	 	Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises which exceeds the load per
square foot which such floor was designed to carry and which is allowed by law. Landlord
shall have the right to prescribe the weight, size and position of all equipment, materials,
furniture or other property brought into the Building. Heavy objects shall, if considered
necessary by landlord, stand on such platforms as determined by Landlord to be necessary to
properly distribute the weight. Business machines and mechanical equipment belonging to
Tenant, which cause noise or vibration that may be transmitted to the structure of the
Building or to any space therein to such a degree as to be objectionable to Landlord or to any
tenants in the Building, shall be placed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, on
vibration eliminators or other devices sufficient to eliminate noise or vibration. The
persons employed to move such equipment in or out of the Building must be acceptable to
Landlord. Landlord will not be responsible for loss of, or damage to, any such equipment or
other property from any cause, and all damage done to the Building by maintaining or moving
such equipment or other property shall be repaired at the expense of Tenant. Tenant shall
require all persons employed by Tenant to move equipment or other articles in or out of the
Building or Premises (collectively, “movers”) to, prior to commencing any moving, furnish
Landlord with original certificates of insurance evidencing that such movers carry (i) workers
compensation insurance in such amounts as may be required by law; (ii) commercial general
