If the records of the County Assessor are available and sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for determining whether said tenant improvements are assessed at a higher valuation than Landlord’s “Building Standards”, such records shall be binding on both the Landlord and the Tenant.

| | |
| (ii) | In the event of a partial destruction of the Complex to an extent not exceeding twenty five percent (25%) of the full insurable value thereof and if the damage thereto is such that the Complex may be repaired, reconstructed or restored within a period of ninety (90) days from the date of the happening of such casualty and Landlord will receive insurance proceeds sufficient to cover the cost of such repairs, commence and proceed diligently with the work of repair, reconstruction and restoration and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect; or if such work of repair, reconstruction and restoration is such as to require a period longer than ninety (90) days or exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the full insurable value thereof or if said insurance proceeds will not be sufficient to cover the cost of such repairs, the Landlord may either elect to so repair, reconstruct and restore and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect or Landlord may elect not to repair, reconstruct or restore and the Lease shall in such event terminate. Under any of these conditions, the Landlord shall give written notice to the Tenant of its intention within said ninety (90) day period.

Tenant shall not because of such taking assert any claim against the Landlord or the taking authority for any compensation because of such taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant. In the event the amount of property or the type of estate taken shall not substantially interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire amount of the award without deduction for any estate or interest of Tenant, and Landlord at its option may terminate this Lease. If Landlord does not so elect, Landlord shall promptly proceed to restore the Premises to substantially their same condition prior to such partial taking, and a proportionate allowance shall be made to Tenant for the rent corresponding to the time during which said restoration is being made and to the part of the Premises of which Tenant shall be so deprived on account of such taking and restoration. Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in any specific award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant.
21. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
(A) The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant:
| (i) | The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant. Abandonment is herein defined to include, but is not limited, any absence by Tenant from the Premises for five (5) days or longer while in default of any provision of this Lease. |
| | |
| (ii) | The failure by Tenant to make any payment of rent or additional rent required to be made by Tenant hereunder, within five (5) days after notice from Landlord that such payment is overdue; provided that, if Landlord gives two such notices during any 12 month period, then Landlord shall have no obligation to give any further such notices during the balance of such 12 month period. |
| | |
| (iii) | The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the express or implied covenants or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, other than as specified in (i) or (ii) above, where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, provided however, than any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161; provided, further, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion. |
| | |
| (iv) | (1) The making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (2) the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (3) the attachment, execution of other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days. |

(B) In the event of such default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Landlord may recover from Tenant: |
| | |
| (i) | The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has 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 after termination 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 have been reasonably avoided; plus |
| | |
| (iv) | Any other amount necessary to compensate the Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. |
As used in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the prevailing discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award plus five percent (5%) but not more than the maximum rate permissible by law. As used in subparagraph (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%).
(C) In the event of any such default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises: such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this subparagraph shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
22. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise encumber all or any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or in the Premises and shall not sublet all or any part of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without such consent shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute grounds for termination of this Lease.
No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay rent and to perform all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment or subletting.
Each subletting or assignment to which Landlord has consented shall be by an instrument in writing in form, satisfactory to Landlord and shall be executed by the sublessor or assignor and by the sublessee or assignee in each instance, as the case may be, and each sublessee or assignee shall agree in writing for the benefit of the Landlord herein to assume, to be bound by and to perform the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease to be done, kept and performed by the Tenant. Once executed copy of such written instrument shall be delivered to the Landlord. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable attorney’s fees and such other reasonable charges which Landlord incurs or causes to be incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested subletting or assignment of this Lease or Tenant’s interest in and to the Premises. Landlord may require as a condition to Landlord’s consent to an assignment or subletting that all sums or other economic consideration received by Tenant as a result of such subletting or assignment, whether denominated rentals under any sublease or otherwise, which exceed in the aggregate the total sums which Tenant is obligated to pay Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect obligations allocable to that portion of the Premises, subject to any such sublease) shall be payable to Landlord as additional rental under this Lease without affecting or reducing any other obligation of Tenant hereunder. Provided, however, that Tenant shall first be entitled to recover any costs of assignment or subletting incurred by Tenant, including, without limitation, real estate commission and advertising expense.

Tenant hereby agreeing at the written request of the Landlord under such ground or underlying lease or the purchaser of the Complex in such foreclosure or other proceedings, to attain to such Landlord or to such purchaser or, at such Landlord’s or such purchaser’s option, to enter into a new lease for the balance of the terms hereof upon the same term and provisions as are contained in this Lease.

Landlord shall complete the following improvements to the Premises at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, on or before August 31, 1999 (which date shall be extended by the period of delays by force majeure or other factors beyond Landlord’s reasonable control):
(A) A new exterior roof.

(B) Replace the three (3) rooftop HVAC mechanical Units with new unit(s).

Landlord shall obtain standard and customary warranties for the new HVAC units and for the roof work, as determined in good faith by Landlord. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any interference to Tenant’s business or use of the Premises in performing such improvements, nor shall there be any abatement of rent therefore; provided that Tenant shall have access to the Premises. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Tenant’s use of the Premises when work is performed during business hours. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord in connection with Landlord’s performance of such improvements. Except as provided above, the Tenant shall lease the Premises “As Is” in its condition existing on the effective date of this First Amendment.
8. Option to Extend.
(A) Provided Tenant is not then in default, Tenant shall have the right to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) additional period of five (5) years, commencing upon the expiration of the then existing Lease term upon all the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, except those which require performance by Landlord which have already been performed by Landlord, and except as to Base Rent, which shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided. In order to exercise Tenant’s option to extend the term of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord no later than March 31, 2006. Base Rent shall be adjusted at the commencement of the extended term to a sum equal to the fair market rental (“FMR”) for the Premises, but in no event less than the rental Tenant is paying as of the end of the initial term, as extended under this First Amendment. If Tenant has exercised its option to extend as provided in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to determine the FMR by mutual agreement. Such negotiations shall commence no later than thirty (30) days after Tenant’s exercise of the option to extend. In the event Landlord and Tenant cannot mutually agree upon the FMR by the date which is sixty (60) days after exercise of the option to extend, the FMR for the extended term shall be determined by appraisal in the manner hereafter set forth.
(B) In the event it becomes necessary under this paragraph to determine the FMR by appraisal, by the date which is seventy-five (75) days after Tenant’s exercise of the option to extend, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a real estate appraiser who shall be a member
3
of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and shall be experienced in the appraisal of rental value and adjustment to rent practices for office properties in the vicinity of the Building, or the parties may mutually agree upon one such appraiser if they so choose, and such appraiser(s) shall each determine the FMR for the Premises, taking into account the value of the Premises and the amenities provided, the location of the Premises and prevailing comparable rentals and rental adjustment practices in the area. Such appraiser(s) shall, within thirty (30) business days after their appointment, complete their appraisals and submit their appraisal reports to Landlord and Tenant. If the FMR is established by one appraiser mutually selected by the parties, his or her appraisal shall be the FMR for the extended term, and the rent under this lease shall be adjusted by fair market rental adjustments as determined by the appraiser(s). If the FMR is established by two separate appraisals and the two appraisals differ by five percent (5%) or less of the highest appraisal, then the average of the two appraisals shall constitute the FMR for purposes of this paragraph. If the FMR determined by two appraisers varies by more than five percent (5%) of the higher appraisal, the two appraisers appointed, within ten (10) days after submission of the last appraisal, shall appoint a third appraiser who shall be a member of the AIREA and who shall be similarly qualified and experienced. Such third appraiser shall, within twenty (20) business days after his appointment, determine by appraisal the FMR in accordance with this paragraph. The FMR determined by the third appraiser for the Premises shall be controlling unless it is less than that set forth in the lower of the appraisals previously obtained, in which case the value set forth in said lower appraisal shall be controlling, or unless it is greater than that set forth in the higher appraisal previously obtained, in which case the rental set forth in said higher appraisal shall be controlling. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser, or if an appraiser appointed by either of them fails, after his appointment, to submit his appraisal within the required period in accordance with this Lease, the appraisal submitted by the appraiser property appointed and timely submitting his appraisal shall be controlling. The cost of all appraisals under this paragraph shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant.
9. Guaranty. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, and as a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a duly executed Guaranty of this Lease from Eidos Plc, in the form of Exhibit “1” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
10. Ratification. Except as expressly modified by this First Amendment, all terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity between this First Amendment and the Lease, the terms and conditions of this First Amendment shall govern and control, and the Lease shall be construed to give maximum effect to the terms and provisions of this First Amendment.
11. Governing Law. This Fist Amendment shall be governed by California law as it applies to parties contracting in Santa Clara County, California.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this First Amendment effective as of the date first set fourth in this Agreement.
