1.3 Lessee is not permitted, without the prior written content of Lessor, to use the leased property for any purpose other than as described in Sec. 1.2.
1.4 The maximum permitted load on the floor(s) of the leased property is 400 kilograms per square meter.
1.5 After consultation with Lessee, Lessor’s site management is entitled to reduce the number of parking spaces allotted to Lessee, if a change in the expected number of parking spaces needed for the users of the Philips High Tech Campus constitutes reasonable cause to do so. The rental fee for the leased property shall in that case be lowered by €919 per parking space per year for each parking space by which Lessee’s allotment is reduced. If at any time Lessee uses more or fewer parking spaces than the amount to which it is entitled under the terms of the present agreement (“actual overuse” or “actual underuse”), then it shall be charged an amount of €919 per actually overused parking space per year or be given a discount of €919 per actually underused parking space per year, or, if the actual overuse or actual underuse occurs for a period longer or shorter than one year, an amount prorated to the duration of the actual overuse or actual underuse, all as further stipulated in the regulations of the Philips High Tech Campus, to be approved by the Managing Board, on which one or more representatives of Lessor and one or more representatives of Lessee shall hold seats.
2. Terms and Conditions
2.1 The following are integral parts of the present agreement:
(i) the “General Stipulations of Leasing Agreements for Office Premises and Other Business Premises Not Subject to Article 7A (1624) of the Civil Code,” filed at the Office of the District Court in The Hague on February 29, 1996 and registered there under No. 34/1996, hereinafter referred to as the “General Stipulations”;
(ii) the appendix to the present agreement contained in Annex 6 to the present agreement, hereafter referred to as the “Appendix”;
(iii) the annexes to the present agreement.
The parties are acquainted with the contents of the General Stipulations, the Appendix, and the annexes. Lessee has received a copy thereof and declares its acceptance thereof upon signing the present agreement.
2.2 The stipulations of Sec. 2.1 apply insofar as not provided otherwise in the present agreement or unless the application thereof with respect to the leased property is not possible.
3. Term, Duration, and Termination
3.1 The present agreement enters into force on June 21, 2002, hereinafter referred to as the “effective date.” Notwithstanding the provisions of Stipulations 17.1-17.3 of the “General Stipulations,” Lessee is obligated to accept leasing of the leased property and the appurtenant parking spaces effective from June 21, 2002, hereafter referred to as the “date of delivery,” and Lessor is obligated, effective from the date of delivery, to provide leasing of the leased property and the

appurtenant parking spaces. If the leased property is not available on the date of delivery, Lessor shall, with due regard for Lessee’s reasonable interests, set a new date that shall replace the date of delivery and shall also be referred to hereinafter as the “date of delivery.”
3.2 The present agreement ends, without any notice requirement, on June 21, 2007 (hereinafter referred to as the “end date”), unless the agreement is extended or has been previously terminated pursuant to the terms of the present agreement. Lessor shall notify Lessee at least six months prior to the end date whether the agreement can be extended. If the present agreement has been extended pursuant to the terms of the agreement, it ends, without any notice requirement, on the last day of the extension period, unless the agreement is again extended or has been previously terminated pursuant to the terms of the present agreement.
3.3 If Lessor in any way obtains the authority to lease the leased property and the appurtenant parking spaces to Lessee after the end date, the present agreement shall, if so requested by Lessee, be extended for the duration of the period for which Lessor has obtained said authority. Both Lessor and Lessee can, however, limit said extension to a period of five years. In the event of any extension of the present agreement, Lessor and Lessee shall decide on a new rental fee by mutual consent, with said rental fee to be in conformity with market conditions. However, the rental fee shall in all instances be adequate to cover Lessor’s reasonable costs arising from the acquisition, use, administration, and preservation of the aforesaid authority, said costs expressly including but not limited to the financing costs and/or rental fees incurred by Lessor with respect to the leased property and the appurtenant parking spaces. Lessor and Lessee shall enter into consultation concerning a further extension of the present agreement no later than six months prior to the end of the extension period.
Lessor shall make every commercially reasonable effort to obtain the authority referred to in the first sentence of this section under terms and conditions convenient to Lessor.
3.4 Lessor is entitled to effect premature termination of the present agreement, with notice:
(i) effective from the date on which its authority to lease the leased property and the appurtenant parking spaces to Lessee ends;
(ii) if a circumstance as specified in Stipulation 7 of the “General Stipulations” arises; or
(iii) if Lessee is no longer a subsidiary of Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. within the meaning of Article 24a, Book 2, of the Civil Code.
Premature termination of the present agreement by Lessee is not possible. Insofar as Lessor has granted its advance, written, express consent thereto, Lessee has the authority to substitute a third party in its stead, in whole or in part, with respect to the present agreement. Lessor shall not withhold its consent on unreasonable grounds nor attach unreasonable conditions to its consent to the substitution. At Lessee’s request, Lessor shall make every commercially reasonable effort to find a third party for the aforesaid substitution. Any costs incurred through such efforts shall be

9.2 Notwithstanding the authorities to terminate the present agreement that Lessor may hold under the provisions of Sec. 3.4 (iii) of the agreement, the parties agree that if Lessee ceases to belong to the tax entity for value-added tax to which Lessor and Lessee belong at the time when the agreement is entered into, then they, if Lessor fails to exercise its authority to terminate the present agreement as described hereinabove, effective from the time at which Lessee ceases to belong to the tax entity as referred to hereinabove, shall enter into a new leasing agreement with respect to the leased property and the appurtenant parking spaces:
(i) in which it is stipulated that the rental fee shall be subject to value-added tax;

(iii) whereby said agreement shall be substantively identical to the present agreement, except that Sec. 7 of the present agreement shall be replaced by a new Sec. 7 reading as follows: “The bank guarantee referred to in Stipulation 8.1 of the “General Stipulations” shall be in an amount equivalent to six times the rental fee for the leased property per month plus the costs of the additional facilities and services over that same period, as stipulated in the agreement that the present agreement replaces and at the time immediately preceding the time at which the present agreement replaces the previous agreement”; and
(iv) in which it is stipulated that the present agreement is terminated effective from the date on which the new agreement enters into force.
9.3 The October 1998 report by DNV B.V. concerning the exploratory soil study and the March 1999 report by Oranjewoud B.V. (Document No. 947051772) concerning the soil study are deemed the environmental study whose performance is required prior the start of the present agreement, as referred to in Stipulation 2.6.1 of the General Stipulations.
9.4 With the prior written consent of Lessor, Lessee has the right, with due regard for locally applicable ordinances and other regulations, to place advertising materials on, in, near, or alongside the leased property.

If a subsequent owner or lessee wishes to retain user-specific investments in the leased property. Lessee’s obligation to remove user-specific investments at the end of the leasing agreement expires and any compensation paid for them by the subsequent owner or lessee shall be for the benefit of Lessee.
