2. PREMISES AND COMMON AREA.
2.1 PREMISES. The approximate location of premises leased hereunder
("Premises") is shown on the drawing attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Premises
consist of the approximate rentable square footage as specified in Section 1.2
in "Building" described in Section 1.3. As used in this Lease, the term
"rentable" or "rentable square footage" means the entire area of the Premises,
including any utility and public areas, measured from the exterior of exterior
walls, and from the center line of interior demising walls.
2.2 LANDLORD'S RESERVED RIGHTS. Landlord reserves the right to: (1) Use
the roof, exterior walls and the area beneath and above the Premises, together
with the right to install, use, maintain and replace equipment, machinery,
pipes, conduits and wiring through the Premises, which serve other parts of the
Project, in a manner and in locations which do not unreasonably interfere with
Tenant's use of the Premises; (2) Alter, replace or change the appearance of the
Building interior and exterior and any portion of the Common Area or Project and
to make such other use of or changes to Common Area and Project as Landlord
reasonably deems appropriate; and (3) Grant easements on the Project and
dedicate for public use portions of the Project without Tenant's consent;
Provided that no such grant or dedication shall substantially interfere with
Tenant's use of the Premises. Upon Landlord's demand, Tenant shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord documents, instruments, maps and plats
necessary to effectuate Tenant's covenants hereunder.
2.3 COMMON AREA. The Premises are (or when constructed will be) a part
of a business/commercial complex consisting of other buildings, landscaping,
parking facilities and other improvements described as the "Project" in Section
1.4 hereof. Landlord may in its sole discretion change the size, shape,
location, number and extent of any or all of the improvements in the Project
without any liability to or consent of Tenant. Tenant does not rely on the fact
nor does Landlord represent that any specific tenant or number of tenants shall
occupy any space in the Project. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to
use in common with other tenants in the Project the areas appurtenant to the
Premises ("Common Area"), described as all areas and facilities within the
Project, exclusive of the interior of the Building and any other buildings on
the Project, now or hereafter designated by Landlord for the general use and
convenience of Tenant and other tenants of the Project, including without
limitation the parking areas, access and perimeter roads, sidewalks, landscaped
areas, service areas, trash disposal facilities, and similar areas and
facilities.
2.3.1 PARKING. Tenant shall have the right to park on the Project's
parking facilities in common with other tenants of the Project upon terms and
conditions, including imposition of a reasonable parking charge, as may from
time to time be established by Landlord. The planned parking ratio available for
all tenants in the Project is 3.3 parking spaces per one thousand rentable
4
square feet of space leased. Tenant agrees not to overburden the parking
facilities and agrees to cooperate with Landlord and other tenants in the use
of the parking facilities. Landlord reserves the right in its discretion to
determine whether the parking facilities are becoming crowded and to allocate
and assign parking spaces among Tenant and other tenants The use of said
parking area shall be at the sole risk of Tenant. Unless caused by the
wrongful act of Landlord, its agents or employees, Tenant hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against any liability, loss, cost or
expense for any damage to or loss or theft of any vehicle or property within
any vehicle or any other property, or injury to or death of any person,
arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with the use by Tenant
or such other persons of the parking area or any part thereof.
3. TERM.
The "Term" of this Lease shall be for the period set forth in Section
1.7, (plus the partial month, if any, immediately following the commencement
Date of the Term), and ending on the expiration of such period, unless the Term
is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.
3.1 COMMENCEMENT DATE. The "Commencement Date" shall be the earlier of
the following dates: (a) the date stipulated in Section 1.8 of this Lease, or
(b) the date Tenant assumes beneficial occupancy of the Premises. The date
currently estimated to be the Commencement Date is specified in Section 1.8
("Anticipated Commencement Date"). Notwithstanding the above, if the
Commencement Date has not occurred on or before the Anticipated Commencement
Date due to the fault of Tenant, the Commencement Date of this Lease shall be
the date specified as the Anticipated Commencement Date. Tenant shall then
commence payment to Landlord of the Monthly Rent and Additional Rent due
hereunder. Once the actual Commencement Date has been determined, the parties
shall execute a Commencement Date Memorandum in the form attached as Exhibit C.
3.2 DELIVERY OF POSSESSION. Landlord shall use its best efforts to
substantially complete Landlord's work (re-painting of the premises only) on or
before the Anticipated Commencement Date. Tenant understand and agrees that the
modifications per Exhibit A will be constructed during Tenant's occupancy. If
Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises, through no fault of
Tenant, on the Anticipated Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be subject to
liability therefore, nor shall such failure effect the validity of this Lease,
the obligation of Tenant, or extend the Term. In such case, Tenant shall not be
obligated to pay Rent or perform any other obligations of Tenant under this
Lease, except as may be otherwise provided herein, until possession of the
Premises is tendered to Tenant. If Landlord has not delivered possession of the
Premises within ninety (90) days from the Anticipated Commencement Date (plus
the period of delays by reason of any of the matters described in Section
26.12), either party may, by notice to the other party given within ten (10)
days after such date, elect to cancel this Lease. Such cancellation shall be the
sole and exclusive remedy of such party and shall extinguish all
5
obligations under this Lease. If neither party elects to cancel within such
period, its right to do so thereafter, by reason of the delay in the
Commencement Date, shall terminate.
3.3 EARLY ENTRY. If Tenant is permitted to occupy the Premises prior to
the Commencement Date for the purpose of fixturing or any other purpose
permitted by Landlord, such early entry shall be at Tenant's sole risk and
subject to all the terms and provisions hereof, except for the payment of
monthly Rent which shall commence on the Commencement Date. Landlord shall have
the right to impose such additional conditions on Tenant's early entry as
Landlord shall deem appropriate, and shall further have the right to require
that Tenant execute an early entry agreement containing such conditions prior to
Tenant's early entry.
4. RENT.
4.1 BASE RENT. Tenant shall pay to Landlord in lawful money of the
United States, beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing on the first
day of each calendar month thereafter throughout the Term, the Monthly Base
Rent, set forth in section 1.9. Monthly Base Rent shall be payable in advance,
without abatement, deduction, claim, offset, prior notice or demand. Monthly
Base Rent for any partial month shall be prorated.
4.1.1 PREPAID RENT. Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon execution the
amount set forth in Section 1.10 as payment for the first month that Monthly
Base Rent is due under this Lease.
4.2 ADDITIONAL RENT. "Additional Rent" shall include all monies, in
addition to Monthly Base Rent, required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under
the Lease, including without limitation, any late payments, interest, and
payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord on account of costs incurred
by Landlord for "Operating Expenses" (specified in Section 4.2.2) or "Tenant
Expenses" (specified in Sections 9 and 10.1).
4.2.1 TENANT'S PERCENTAGES. "Tenant's Building Percentage"
shall be determined by dividing the appropriate rental square footage of the
Premises by the appropriate total rentable square footage of the Building.
Tenant's Building Percentage is agreed to be the percentage set forth in Section
1.5. "Tenant's Project Percentage" shall be determined by dividing the
approximate rental square footage of the Premises by the approximate total
rentable square footage of all buildings on the Project. Tenant's Project
Percentage is agreed to be the percentage set forth in Section 1.6.
4.2.2 OPERATING EXPENSES. For each calendar year during the
term subsequent to the year specified in Section 1.13 as the Base Year, Tenant
shall pay Tenant's Project Percentage of the increase in Operating Expenses for
such calendar year over "Base Operating Expenses". As reasonably determined by
Landlord, Tenant's Building Percentage may be substituted for Tenant's Project
Percentage for those Operating Expenses that relate to the Building only and
said expenses shall be limited to alterations or improvements required by
governmental authority or Association, and
6
the cost of maintaining, repairing and repairing exterior walls and the roof
membrane of the Building. Base Operating Expenses shall mean Operating Expenses
incurred by Landlord during the Base Year and shall exclude those expenses
specifically referred to in Paragraph 33 of this Lease. Operating Expenses may
include, as permitted by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the cost of
any policies of insurance covering the Building and the Common Area, Real
Property Taxes, Association assessments, Assessment Bond payments, property
management fees, amortization on Project furnishings, cost of labor, materials
and services used or consumed in operating, maintaining, repairing and replacing
the Common Area, including landscaping and sprinkler systems, hardscape,
walkways and paved parking areas, signs and site lighting, exterior window
cleaning, alterations or improvements required by governmental authority or
Association, and the cost of maintaining, repairing and replacing exterior walls
and the roof membrane of the Building. Utilities included in Operating Expenses
are electricity for parking lot and Common Area lighting and sprinkler systems,
and water for irrigation. Operating Expenses for both the Base Year and each
subsequent calendar year shall be adjusted to equal Landlord's reasonable
estimate of Operating Expenses had the total rentable area of the Project been
occupied.
4.2.3 MONTHLY PAYMENTS. Commencing with the first day of the
calendar year following the Base Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month,
at the same time and in the same manner as Monthly Base Rent 1/12th of
Landlord's estimate of Tenant's Percentage of the increase in Operating Expenses
for the then current calendar year. Within 90 days after the close of each
calendar year, or as soon after such 90-day period as practical, Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant a statement of the actual increases in Operating Expenses for
such calendar year over the Base Year. If on the basis of such statement Tenant
owes an amount that is less than the estimated payments for such calendar year
previously made by Tenant, Landlord shall either offset the excess against the
Operating Expenses next thereafter to become due to Landlord or shall refund the
amount of the overpayment to Tenant, as Landlord shall elect. If on the basis of
such statement, Tenant owes an amount that is more than the estimated payments
for such calendar year previously made by Tenant, Tenant shall pay the
deficiency to Landlord within ten (10) days after delivery of statement. The
obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this subparagraph with respect to the
reconciliation between estimated payments and the actual increases in Operating
Expenses for the last year of the term shall survive the termination of the
Lease. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if Landlord incurs costs,
including Landlord's administrative costs which relate only to the Premises
or Tenant's use of the Premises or the Project, such costs shall be payable
solely by Tenant. Landlord may either bill such costs directly to Tenant, in
which case Tenant shall pay such costs within ten (10) days of receipt of a
statement therefore, or Landlord may include such costs on the statement of
Operating Expenses payable by Tenant.
4.2.4 TENANT'S AUDIT RIGHTS: Tenant shall have the right, to
be exercised not more than once during any calendar year,
7
to audit Operating Expenses, any taxes, utilities or any other assessments or
charges made against Tenant, and to examine Landlord's records relating to the
same. Tenant's audit shall be conducted by a C.P.A. mutually acceptable to
Landlord and Tenant. The Landlord shall submit the backup data to Tenant within
ten (10) business days of a written notice from Tenant. The costs of any such
audit shall be borne by Tenant, provided, however, that in the event such audit
reveals a discrepancy greater than three percent (3%) more than the amount
charged to Tenant, Landlord shall pay the costs of that audit. Landlord shall
pay to Tenant within fifteen (15) days of notice thereof, any amounts determined
to be owed to Tenant as a result of such audit, with interest thereon, from the
date any overpayment was made or Landlord failed to make the appropriate refund
or deduction from Tenant's obligations, provided, however, the Tenant may, at
its own option and without limiting its rights hereunder, deduct amounts it is
owed by Landlord from any future payment due to Landlord of any kind whatsoever.
5. LATE PAYMENT CHARGES.
Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and
other charges provided for under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs
not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely
difficult or impracticable to fix. Therefore, if any installment of Rent or any
other charge due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days
after such payment is due and without any requirement for notice to Tenant,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to eight percent (8%) of
the amount overdue as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge
represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur
by reason of the late payment by Tenant.
6. SECURITY DEPOSIT.
Upon Tenant's execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord the sum specified in Section 1.14, for the Security Deposit, which
shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of
all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease, it being expressly
understood and agreed that the Security Deposit is not an advance deposit for
rent or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default. The
Security Deposit may be retained, used or applied by Landlord to remedy and
default by Tenant, to repair damage caused by Tenant to any part of the Premises
or the Building, and to clean the Premises upon expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, as well as to reimburse Landlord for any amount which
Landlord may spend by reason of Tenant's default or to compensate Landlord for
any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's
default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant
shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefore, deposit cash with
Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the security Deposit to the full
amount required hereunder, and Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material
breach of this
8
Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate
from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such
deposit. Tenant may not elect to apply any portion of said Security Deposit
toward payment of Base Rent or any other amounts payable by Tenant under this
Lease, although Landlord may elect to do so in the event Tenant is in default
or is insolvent. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision
of this Lease, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned
to Tenant at Tenant's last known address (or, at Landlord's option, to the
last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days after
the Term has ended and the Premises have been vacated by Tenant.
7. REAL PROPERTY TAXES.
7.1 REAL PROPERTY TAXES. Real Property Taxes shall mean all real
property taxes and assessments, personal property taxes, (other than those
within Section 7.2,) and all other assessments, dues or charges against the
Project on which the Building is located shall be paid by Landlord. The
amount so paid shall be included within Operating Expenses under Section
4.2.2. Such taxes and assessments shall include, without limitation, any
assessment or improvement district or other district, now existing or
hereafter established or imposed, having a lien or claim against the Building
or the Project; license fees, business taxes, commercial rental taxes, levy,
penalty, tax or similar imposition imposed by any authority having the power
to tax. Such taxes, shall include without limitation, any tax on Landlord's
right to Rent or income from the Premises (excluding state and federal income
taxes), any charge in substitution, partially or totally, of any assessment,
tax or charge previously included in the definition of property tax;
assessments for such services as fire protection, police protection street,
landscape, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal, sewer assessments
and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to
property owners or occupants; any assessment, tax, or charge allocable to or
measured by the area of the Premises or the Rent payable hereunder; and any
expenses, including attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by Landlord in
seeking reduction by the taxing authority of such taxes, less tax refunds
obtained as a result of Landlord's application for review.
7.2 TAXES ON ALTERATIONS AND PERSONAL PROPERTY. Notwithstanding any
other provision hereof, Tenant shall pay the full amount of any increase in Real
Property Taxes during the Term resulting from any and all alterations of any
kind whatsoever placed in, on or about the Premises and the Project for the
benefit of, at the request of, or by Tenant. Tenant shall pay prior to
delinquency all taxes assessed or levied against Tenant's personal property in,
on or about the Premises. When possible, Tenant shall cause its personal
property to be assessed and billed separately from the real or personal property
of Landlord.
7.3 PRORATION. Tenant's liability to pay increases in Real Property
Taxes shall be prorated on the basis of a 365-day year to account for any
fractional portion of a fiscal tax year included at the commencement or
expiration of the Term.

extend caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents,
partners, officers or employees.
8.2 TENANT'S INSURANCE. Tenant agrees to maintain in full force and
effect at all times during the Term, at its own expense, for the protection of
Tenant and Landlord, as their interests may appear, policies of insurance which
afford the following coverages:

inflation or otherwise, and shall be in a form providing coverage comparable to
the coverage provided in the standard ISO All-Risk form.
8.3 ALL-RISK INSURANCE. During the Term, Landlord shall maintain "All
Risk" property insurance (including, at Landlord's option, inflation
endorsement, sprinkler leakage endorsement and earthquake and flood coverage) on
the Building, excluding coverage of all Tenant's personal property located on or

mortgagee of Landlord as named insureds and include a tender's loss payable
endorsement in favor of Landlord's lender.
10
8.3.1 PAYMENT BY TENANT. If above insurance premiums are
increased after the Commencement Date due to Tenant's use of the Premises or any
other cause solely attributable to Tenant, Tenant shall pay the full amount of
the increase within ten (10) days notice of such increase.
8.4 CO-INSURER. If, due to Tenant's failure to comply with the
foregoing provisions, Landlord is adjudged a co-insurer by its insurance
carrier, then, any loss or damage Landlord sustains by reason thereof, including
attorneys fees and costs, shall be borne by Tenant and shall be immediately paid
by Tenant upon receipt of a bill therefore and evidence of such loss.
8.5 INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. All insurance carried by Tenant shall be in
a form satisfactory to Landlord and shall be carried with companies that have a
general policy holder's rating of not less than "A" in the most current edition

satisfactory evidence of payment of the premium thereon shall be deposited with
Landlord prior to the Commencement Date, and upon renewal of such policies, not
less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of such coverage.

shall not be affected by any breach of Tenant of any policy provision for which
such certificates evidence coverage. If Tenant fails to procure and maintain the
insurance required hereunder, Landlord may, upon written notice to Tenant, order
such insurance at Tenant's expense and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon
demand. Such reimbursement shall include all sums incurred by Landlord,
including Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs with interest thereon
at the maximum rate permitted by law.

roof, street or subsurface or whatsoever, unless caused by or due to the
negligence or willful acts of Landlord. Landlord and its agents, partners,
officers and employees shall not be liable for interference with the light, air,
or any latent defect in the Premises. Tenant shall give prompt written notice to
Landlord in case of a casualty, accident or repair needed in the Premises.
8.6 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive all
rights of recovery against the other on account of loss and damage occasioned to
such waiving party for its property or the property of others under its control
to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against under any insurance
policies which may be in force at the time of such loss or damage. Tenant and
Landlord shall, upon obtaining policies of insurance required hereunder, give
notice to the insurance carrier that the foregoing
11
mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease and Tenant and
Landlord shall cause each insurance policy obtained by such party to provide
that the insurance company waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation
against either Landlord or Tenant in connection with any damage covered by
such policy.
9. UTILITIES AND SERVICES.
Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay promptly all charges for
water, gas electricity, sewer, telephone, refuse pickup, janitorial service and
all other utilities, materials and services furnished directly to or used by
Tenant in, on or about the Premises, or Project, during the Term, together with
any taxes thereon. These costs shall be considered "Tenant Expenses" (along with
those specified in Section 10.1 below) which are separate and apart from those
Operating Expenses described in Section 4.2.2. Landlord shall not be liable for
damages or otherwise for any failure or interruption of any utility service or
other service furnished to the Premises, except that resulting from the willful
act or negligence of Landlord. Any utilities which are not separately metered,
(e.g. domestic and fire service water) or services which are not separately
billed to the Premises (e.g. refuse pickup), shall be charged to Tenant on an
equitable basis as determined by Landlord. Tenant shall pay directly, or
reimburse Landlord for, the costs thereof, as and when billed by vendor or
Landlord.
With regard to refuse pickup, Tenant must store within Premises such
refuse as pallets or metal drums, and arrange for their separate disposal. If
Hazardous Materials are involved, Tenant must comply with Section 12.4. Tenant
must collapse any cardboard shipping containers prior to disposal in Landlord
provided dumpsters. Tenant will be billed for excessive use of refuse disposal
that require oversized dumpsters or extra pickups. At all times, Tenant will not
be permitted to store refuse or goods outside of Premises if unsightly or in
violation of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions ("C,C&R's").
10. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE.
10.1 LANDLORD'S OBLIGATIONS. Landlord shall keep in good order,
condition and repair the structural parts of the Buildings, which structural
parts include only the Foundation, exterior walls (excluding the interior of all
exterior walls), roof structure and subflooring of the Premises, except for any
damage thereto caused by the negligence or willful acts or omissions of Tenant
or of Tenant's agents, employees or invitees, or by reason of the failure of
Tenant to perform or comply with any terms, conditions or covenants in this
Lease, or caused by alterations made by Tenant or by Tenant's agents, employees
or contractors which shall be Tenant's responsibility. Except for repairs
readily discernable by visual inspection of exterior, it is a condition
precedent to all obligations of Landlord to repair and maintain under this
Section 10.1.1 that Tenant shall have notified Landlord in writing of the need
for such repairs or maintenance.
Landlord shall also maintain, repair and replace the HVAC
12
system for the Premises and Tenant shall pay directly or reimburse Landlord for
the costs thereof, as and when billed by vendor or landlord. If such HVAC system
is not separately metered to the Premises, Tenant shall be billed for its
proportionate share of such cost as reasonably determined by Landlord. Landlord
shall obtain an HVAC system preventive maintenance contract with monthly service
which shall be paid for by Tenant and which shall provide for and include
replacement of filters, oiling and lubricating of machinery, parts replacement,
adjustment of drive belts, oil changes and other preventive maintenance. Tenant
shall have the benefit of all warranties available to Landlord regarding such
equipment.

recover from Tenant as damages:
(a) The worth at the time of award of unpaid Rent
and other sums due and payable which had been earned at the time of

things, would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, any
costs or expenses incurred by Landlord (1) in retaking possession of the
Premises; (2) in maintaining, repairing, preserving, restoring, replacing,
cleaning, altering or rehabilitating the Premises or any portion thereof,

Premises; plus
23

the laws of the State of California.
The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in Sections
19.2.2 (a) and 19.2.2 (b) is computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate
permitted by law on the unpaid rent and other sums due and payable from the
termination date through the date of award. The "worth at the time of award" of
the amount referred to in Section 19.2.2 (c) is computed by discounting such
amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the
time of award.
19.2.3 Landlord may, with or without terminating this Lease,
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

election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice os such intention is
given to Tenant.
19.2.4 If Tenant fails to make any payment or perform any
other act on its part to be made or performed under this Lease, Landlord may,
but shall not be obligated to and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any

interest and costs in connection therewith, shall be due and payable by Tenant
on the next day after any such payment by Landlord, together with interest
thereon at the maximum rate permitted by law from such date to the date of
payment by Tenant to Landlord, plus collection costs and attorneys' fees.
Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies for the nonpayment thereof as
in the case of default in the payment of Rent.
19.3 LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default
in the performance of any obligation under this Lease unless and until it has
failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after receipt of
written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying such failure; provided, however,
that if the nature of Landlord's default is such that more than thirty (30) days
are required for its cure, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if
it commences such cure within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
19.4 TENANT'S REMEDY. If, as a consequence of a default by Landlord
under this Lease, Tenant recovers a money judgment against Landlord, such
judgment shall be satisfied only out the of the proceeds of sale receiving upon
execution of such judgment and levied thereon against the right, title and
interest of Landlord in the Building or Project and out of Rent or other income
from the Building or Project receivable by Landlord or out of consideration
received by Landlord from the sale or other disposition of all or
24
any part of Landlord's right, title or interest in the Building, and neither
Landlord nor its agents, partners, officers or employees shall be liable for any
deficiency.
19.5 MORTGAGEE PROTECTION. If Landlord defaults under this Lease,
Tenant will notify any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee of a mortgage
covering the Building or the Project, and offer such beneficiary or mortgagee a
reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession

such should prove necessary to effect a cure.
20. SUBORDINATION, ESTOPPEL AND ATTORNMENT.
20.1 SUBORDINATION. This Lease is subject and subordinate to ground and
underlying leases, mortgages and deeds of trust (collectively "Encumbrances")
which may now affect the Premises, the Building, or the Project, and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof;
provided, however, if the holder or holders ("Holder") of any such Encumbrances
shall require this Lease to be prior and superior thereto, within ten (10) days
after written request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute, have acknowledged and
deliver any and all documents or instruments, in the from presented to Tenant,
which Landlord or Holder deems necessary and desirable for such purposes.
Landlord shall have the right to cause this Lease to be and become and remain
subject and subordinate to any and all Encumbrances which are now or may
hereafter be executed covering the Premises, the Building, or the Project, or
any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof,
for the full amount of all advances made or to be made thereunder, together with
interest thereon and subject to all the terms and provisions thereof; provided
only, that in the event of termination of any such lease or upon the foreclosure
of any such mortgage or deed of trust, Holder agrees to recognize Tenant's
rights under this Lease as long as Tenant is not then in default and continues
to pay the Rent and observe and perform all the provisions of this Lease. Within
ten (10) days after Landlord's written request, Tenant shall execute any and all
the documents required by Landlord or the Holder to make this Lease subordinate
to any lien of the Encumbrances. If Tenant fails to do so, it shall be deemed
that this Lease is so subordinated.
20.2 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Tenant shall execute and deliver to
Landlord any documents, including estoppel certificates in the form prepared by
Landlord (1) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and
effect or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying
that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, and the date to
which the Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any; and (2)
acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on
the part of Landlord, or, if there are uncured defaults on the part of the
Landlord, stating the nature of such uncured defaults; and (3) evidencing the
status of the Lease as may be required either by a lender making a loan to
Landlord to be secured by deed of trust or mortgage covering the Building or the
Project or a purchaser of the Building or the Project from
25
Landlord. Tenant's failure to deliver an estoppel certificate within seven
(7) days after delivery of Landlord's written request therefor shall be
conclusive upon Tenant (1) that this Lease is in full force and effect,
without modification except as may be represented by Landlord; (2) that there
are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance; and (3) that no Rent has
been paid in advance.
20.3 ATTORNMENT. Tenant shall, if requested, attorn to the purchaser of
the Building or Project, and recognize such purchases as Landlord under this
Lease in the event of (1) foreclosure proceeding or grant of deed in lieu of

trust, made by Landlord or Landlord's successors or assigns, which encumbers the
Premises, or any part thereof; (3) the termination of a ground lease; or (4) a
sale of the Building or Project.
21. NOTICES.
Any notice or demand required or desired to be given under this Lease
shall be in writing and shall be personally served, or in lieu of personal
service, may be given by mail. If given by mail, such notice shall be deemed to
have been given seventy-two (72) hours after deposit in the United States mail,
registered or certified, postage prepaid, and addressed to the party to be
served. At the date of execution of this Lease, the addresses of Landlord and
Tenant are as set forth in Section 1.16 of this Lease. After the Commencement
Date, the address of Tenant shall be the address of the Premises. Either party
may change its address by giving written notice of same in accordance with this
Section.
22. SURRENDER OF THE PREMISES.
On expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender to
Landlord the Premises and all Tenant's improvements and alterations in good
condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and shall remove all of
its personal property including any signs, notices and displays. Tenant agrees
that is shall, upon Landlord's written request made prior to or within thirty
(30) days following the expiration or termination of this Lease, at Tenant's
sole cost and expense promptly remove any alterations, additions, fixtures or
improvements designated by Landlord to be removed and repair any damage to the
Premises resulting from such removal. Landlord may, in connection with any such
removal which might in Landlord's judgment involve damage to the Premises,
require that such removal be performed by a bonded contractor or other person
from whom a bond satisfactory to Landlord has been furnished covering the cost
of repairing the anticipated damage. Landlord may retain or dispose of, in any
manner, any such improvements or alterations or Tenant's personal property that
Tenant does not remove from the Premises on expiration or termination of the
Term as allowed or required by this Lease. Title to any such improvements or
alterations or Tenant's personal property that Landlord so elects to retain, or
dispose of, shall vest in Landlord. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord
for any damage or loss to Tenant arising out of Landlord's retention or
dispositions of any such improvements,
26
removing and disposing of any such improvements, alterations or Tenant's
personal property. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises to Landlord on
expiration or termination of the Lease as required by this Section, Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from all damages, loss, cost and
expense (including attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with
Tenant's failure to do so, including, without limitation, any claims made by a
succeeding tenant resulting from Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises.
23. COST OF SUIT.
If either party brings action for relief against the other, declaratory
or otherwise, arising out of this Lease, including any suit by Landlord for the
recovery of Rent or possession of the Premises, the losing party shall pay the
successful party its costs incurred in connection with and in preparation for
said action, including its attorneys' fees (which costs shall be deemed to have
accrued on the commencement of such action and shall be paid whether or not such
action is prosecuted to judgment). If Landlord, without fault on Landlord's
part, is made a party to any action instituted by Tenant or any third party
against Tenant, or by or against any person holding under or using the Premises
by License of Tenant, or for the foreclosure of any lien for labor or material
furnished to or for Tenant or of any such other person, or otherwise arising out
of or resulting from any action or omission of Tenant or of any such other
person, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any
judgment rendered in connection therewith and all costs and expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with such action.
24. TRANSFER OF THE BUILDING BY LANDLORD.
In the event of any conveyance of the Building or the Project and
assignment by Landlord of this Lease, Landlord shall be entirely released from
all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in
from this Lease occurring after the date of such conveyance and assignment
provided such transferee assumes Landlord's obligations under this Lease.
25. AIRPORT NOISE.
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has informed Tenant that noise
produced by aircraft using Metropolitan Oakland International Airport
("Airport") which adjoins the Business Park may be heard at the Building of
which the Premises form a part. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord has
informed Tenant that the real property on which the building and the Premises
are located is subject to a recorded Noise Easement and Release whereby the
owners of the Airport are released from any claims or law suits for damages by
any persons using the property, including Tenant, with respect to Airport
operations, including aircraft related noise. Tenant shall indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from any and all claims, damages, causes of action or
liability, including legal fees and costs, arising from or in any way related to
aircraft-related noise perceived by Tenant, its employees, agents or
27
invitees at the Premises or in any way connected with the Premises.

deemed an original for all purposes.
26.3 TIME. Time is of the essence for the performance of each term,
condition and covenant of this Lease.
26.4 SEPARABILITY. If one or more of the provisions contained herein,
except for the payment of Rent, is for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability
shall not effect any other provision of this Lease, but this Lease shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been
contained herein.
26.5 CHOICE OF LAW. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of California. The language in all parts
of this Lease shall in all cases be construed as a whole according to its fair
meaning and not strictly for or against either Landlord or Tenant.

26.7 BINDING EFFECT. The covenants and agreement contained in this
Lease shall be binding on the parties hereto and on their respective successors
and assigns to the extent this Lease is assignable.
26.8 WAIVER. The waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term,
condition or covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver os such
provision or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, condition or
covenant of this Lease. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach at the time of
acceptance of such payment. No covenant, term or condition of this Lease shall
be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing
signed by Landlord.
26.9 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease is the entire agreement between the
parties, and there are no agreements or representations between the parties
except as expressed herein. Except as otherwise provided herein, no subsequent
change or addition to this Lease shall be binding unless in writing and signed
by the parties hereto.
26.10 AUTHORITY. If Tenant is a corporation or a partnership,
28
each individual executing this Lease on behalf of said corporation or
partnership, as the case may be, represents and warrants that he is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of said entity in
accordance with its corporate bylaws, statement of partnership or certificate of
limited partnership, as the case may be, and that this Lease is binding upon
said entity in accordance with its terms. Landlord, at its option, may require a
copy of such written authorization to enter into this Lease. The failure of
Tenant to deliver the same to Landlord within seven (7) days of Landlord's
request therefore shall be deemed a default under this Lease.
26.11 RECORDING. Neither party shall record this Lease nor a short form
memorandum thereof.
26.12 FORCE MAJEURE. Any construction, repairs or rebuilding of any
building, improvement or other structure herein shall be excused or postponed

proportionately.
26.14 HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of all or any part
of the Premises after the expiration of the Term, with or without the express or
implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only and
not a renewal hereof or any extension for any further term, and in such case,
Monthly Base Rent shall be payable at a rate equal to one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the Monthly Base Rent in effect at the time of expiration, and such
month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, covenant and
agreement of this Lease.
26.15 QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants that Tenant, upon performing
the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease, shall have quiet and peaceful
possession of the Premises as against any person claiming the same by, through

Landlord under this Lease and the agreements related thereto is hereby expressly
limited so that in the event any action is brought to enforce any obligations
reflected herein, any
29
judgment or decree so obtained shall be enforceable only against the assets of
the Partnership, and the interest of each partner in such Partnership, and no
writ of execution shall be levied against any other assets of any Partner of
Landlord.
27. ACCEPTANCE.
Delivery of this Lease, duly executed by Tenant, constitutes an offer
to lease the Premises, and under no circumstances shall such delivery be deemed
to create an option or reservation to lease the Premises for the benefit of
Tenant. This Lease shall only become effective and binding upon approval by
Holder, execution hereof by Landlord and delivery of a signed copy to Tenant.
28. LANDLORD'S CONDITION.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this Lease and Landlord's
obligation to lease the Premises to Tenant shall be subject to the condition
precedent that Landlord's lender shall approve this Lease within ten (10)
fifteen (15) days from the date of its full execution. If Landlord's lender
fails to so approve this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, upon notice to
Tenant to terminate this Lease, and, if so terminated, the parties' rights and
obligations hereunder shall be discharged.
29. BROKERS.
Landlord and Tenant warrant and represent, each to the other, that they
have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the
negotiation of this Lease except for the broker(s) named in Section 1.17 and
that they know of no other real estate broker or agent who is or might be
entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease. Tenant agrees to defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its agents, partners, officers and
employees from and against any and all liabilities or expenses, including
attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of or in connection with claims made by
any other broker or individual for commissions or fees resulting from Tenant's
execution of this Lease.
30. OPTION TO EXTEND
Landlord grants Tenant one option to extend the Term of the Lease, for
one five-year period (the "Extension Term"), on all the provisions contained in
the Lease, subject to the following terms, conditions and exceptions:
Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Tenant's exercise of said option at
least twelve (12) months, prior to the expiration of the Term then in effect.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the Extension Term Monthly Base Rent equal
to the Fair Market Rental Value (as that term is hereinafter defined) of the
Premises as of the commencement of the Extension Term. The term Fair Market
Rental Value shall mean the prevailing market rental rate (determined by actual
transaction for new leases) for properties similar to the Premises located
within
30
the Harbor Bay Business and Research Park. For the purposes hereof, the fair
market rental value of the premises shall be the monthly rental rate per square
foot of rentable area then prevailing for comparable office tech space including
standard office improvements in the Harbor Bay project site, that is then being
offered for lease to prospective tenants, multiplied by the rentable area of the
premises. If Tenant in good faith disputes Landlord's determination of fair
market rental value, Tenant shall so notify Landlord and the parties shall
negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If such dispute is not resolved
by negotiations between the parties within 30 days, then fair market rental
value shall be determined by appraisal. Tenant shall pay monthly Base Rent when
due based upon Landlord's determination of fair market rental value, subject to
retroactive adjustment between the parties if the determination by appraisal is
different from Landlord's determination.
When fair market rental value is to be determined by appraisal, within ten (10)
days after the expiration of the 30-day negotiation period, Landlord and Tenant
shall each appoint as an appraiser, a real estate appraiser or broker with at
least five (5) years of experience in appraising commercial real property in
Alameda County, and give notice of such appointment to the other. If either
Landlord or Tenant shall fail to appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days after
receiving notice of the identity of the other party's appointed appraiser, then
the single appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and determine the
fair market value of the premises. In the event each party appoints an
appraiser, such appraisers shall, within thirty (30) days after the appointment
of the last of them to be appointed, complete their determination of fair market
rental value and furnish the same to Landlord and Tenant. If the low appraisal
varies from the higher appraisal by 5% or less, the fair market rental value
shall be the average of the two valuations. If the low appraisal varies from the
high appraisal by more than 5%, the two appraisers shall, within ten (10) days
after submission of the last appraisal report, appoint a third appraiser who
shall meet the qualifications set forth in this paragraph. If the two appraisers
shall be unable to agree on the selection of a third appraiser in a timely
manner then either Landlord or Tenant may request such appointment by the
presiding judge of the Superior Court of Alameda County. The third appraiser,
however selected, shall be a person who has not previously acted in any capacity
for or against either party. Such third appraiser shall, within 30 days after
appointment, make a determination of fair market rental value and submit an
appraisal report to Landlord and Tenant. The fair market rental value of the
premises shall be as determined by the third appraiser, unless it is less than
the valuation set forth in the lower appraisal previously obtained, in which
case the valuation set forth in the lower prior appraisal shall be controlling,
or unless it is greater than the valuation set forth in the higher appraisal
previously obtained, in which case the valuation set forth in the higher prior
appraisal shall be controlling. All fees and costs incurred in connection with
the determination of fair market rental value by appraisal shall be paid
one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant. Prior to the commencement of an
option period, Tenant and Landlord shall execute an amendment to this Leasing
setting forth
31
the option period and revised monthly Base Rent amounts.
31. ADA CODE COMPLIANCE
The Premises, to the best of Landlord's knowledge, is substantially in
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. If, following lease
commencement, any Tenant alterations of Tenant's specific use of the Premises
trigger additional code compliance, then Tenant shall be solely responsible for
any costs associated with same (assuming Tenant proceeds with its proposed
alterations). If, during Tenant's Lease Term, a new law or ordinance is
established, in regard to the Americans with Disabilities Act, requiring
compliance, and not triggered by Tenant's alterations or specific use, then any
costs to comply with said new law or ordinance shall be borne by Landlord.
Landlord reserves the right to make alterations only as required by law, within
the time limits imposed by said new law or ordinance.
32. ASCEND TERMINATION
Landlord and Tenant understand and agree that this Lease and the Ascend
Termination Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit G must be signed by both
parties (UT Starcom and Ascend Communications) simultaneously to be valid and
accepted by Landlord for execution.
33. ITEMS EXCLUDED FROM OPERATING EXPENSES AND TAXES

8. Interest on debt or amortization payments or increases in interest or debt on
any mortgages and rental under any ground or underlying lease or changes in
deeds of trust or any other debt for borrowed money.
