Terms which are capitalized in this Lease and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Basic Lease Information. 1. PREMISES. Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, the Premises described in the Basic Lease Information, together with the right in common to use the Common Areas of the Building and the Property (as shown in Exhibit A). The Common Areas shall mean the areas and facilities within the Building and the Property provided and designated by Landlord for the general use, convenience or benefit of Tenant and other tenants and occupants of the Building and/or the Property (e.g., loading and unloading areas; sidewalks; walkways; driveways; landscaped areas; common entrances and hallways; trash disposal facilities; and unreserved parking areas). 2. TERM. (a) Lease Term. The Term of this Lease shall commence on the later of April 1, 1997 or the date Landlord tenders legal and physical possession of the Premises to Tenant (the "Commencement Date") and, unless terminated on an earlier date in accordance with the terms of this Lease, shall expire on the date which is the date before the tenth anniversary of the Base Rent Commencement Date (the "Expiration Date"), as defined in Section 4 ("Term"). (b) Premises Not Delivered. If, for any reason, Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant by Estimated Commencement Date (as set forth in the Basic Lease Information), (i) the Term shall not commence until the Commencement Date; (ii) the failure shall not affect the validity of this Lease, or the obligations of Tenant under this Lease; and (iii) Landlord shall not be subject to any liability. If the Commencement Date has not occurred on or before September 30, 1997, Tenant shall have the right as Tenant's exclusive remedy to terminate this Lease, which notice shall be delivered on or before October 15,1997. Upon such cancellation, Landlord shall refund any advance rent to Tenant and Landlord and Tenant shall have no further liability under this Lease. (c) Commencement Date Memorandum. When the Commencement Date is determined, the parties shall execute a Commencement Date Memorandum, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, setting forth the Commencement Date. (d) Early Entry. If Tenant is permitted to enter the Premises prior to the Commencement Date for the purposes of fixturing or any purpose other that occupancy permitted by Landlord, the entry shall be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease, except that the payment of Rent shall commence as of the Base Rent Commencement Date. 3. RENT. As used in this Lease, the term "Rent" shall include: (i) the Base Rent; (ii) Tenant's Percentage Share of the Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord during the calendar year; and (iii) all other amounts which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease. All amounts of money payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be paid without prior notice or demand, deduction or offset. This Lease is intended to be a triple net lease, with all costs, expenses and charges (including the Operating Expenses) paid by Tenant, except as expressly prohibited herein. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges, which may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sums due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. In addition, any amount which is not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the rate ("Interest Rate") which is the lesser of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (or such other comparable rate reasonably designated by Landlord) plus four percent (4%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the first two (2) failures to pay an amount payable to Landlord when due under this Lease during any twelve (12) month period, no late charge or interest shall be assessed until five (5) days after written notice has been delivered by Landlord to Tenant regarding such delinquent payment. After such second notice, no further notices shall be required with respect to interest and late charges during the remainder of such twelve (12) month period. 4. BASE RENT. (a) Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Contract Manager (or other entity designated by Landlord), in 1 advance, on the first day of each calendar month of the Term commencing as of the Base Rent Commencement Date, at Contract Manager's address for notices (as set forth in the Basic Lesse Information) or at such other address as Landlord may designate. The Base Rent shall be the amount set forth in the Basic Lease Information, as adjusted pursuant to subsections 4(b) and (c) below. As used herein, the term "Base Rent Commencement Date" shall mean the date which is the earlier of (i) one hundred thirty five (135) days after the Commencement Date, (ii) sixty (60) days after the date the applicable local governmental authority (e.g., the city in which the Building is located) approves the improvements which Tenant intends to construct within the Premises prior to commencing business operations which would permit Tenant to use and occupy the Premises, as evidenced by a final signed-off building permit or certificate of occupancy for such improvements; or (iii) sixty (60) days after the date that Tenant commences business operations on the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord has not completed Landlord's Work (as defined in Section 7 below) and Tenant is not reasonably able to commence business operations on the Premises as a result of such incomplete work, than the Base Rent Commencement Date shall not be deemed to have occurred until Landlord's Work is completed to the extent that the items to be corrected as part of Landlord's Work do not prevent the reasonable ability of Tenant to commence business operations on the Premises. In addition, if Tenant is unable to substantially complete the Initial Alterations (as defined in subsection 9(a) within the Premises during the one hundred thirty five (135) day period referenced in clause (i) above because the performance of Landlord's Work has delayed such construction (as reasonably determined by the Architect, as defined in subsection 9(a)(i) and reasonably approved by Landlord), then such one hundred thirty five (135) day period shall be extended one (1) day for each day of such delay. Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate in scheduling the construction of the initial Alterations and Landlord's Work to avoid such delays. When the Base Rent Commencement Date is determined, the parties shall execute a Base Rent Commencement Date Memorandum, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 setting forth the Base Rent Commencement Date and the expiration date ("Expiration Date") of this Lease. (b) CPI Adjustment Definitions. The following terms are used in this Section 4 as follows: (i) "Consumer Price Index" shall mean the Consumer Price Index (All Items) for All Urban Consumers for the locality in which the Building is located (1982-1984 equals 100) of the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If such index is no longer published at any time, the Consumer Price Index shall mean a comparable index selected by Landlord. (ii) "CPI Adjustment Dates" means (a) the fifth anniversary of the Base Rent Commencement Date and each anniversary of the Base Rent Commencement Date thereafter (or, if the Base Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, each anniversary of the first day of the calendar month following the month in which the Base Rent Commencement Date occurs). (iii) "CPI Base Month" means the calendar month prior to the month in which the Base Rent Commencement Date occurs for, if the Base Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs). (iv) " Minimum Increase Multiple" means 108.243% on the CPI Adjustment Date which occurs on the fifth anniversary of the Base Rent Commencement Date and 102% with respect to all other CPI Adjustment Dates. "Maximum Increase Multiple" means 121.551% on the CPI Adjustment Date which occurs on the fifth anniversary of the Base Rent Commencement Date and 105% with respect to all other CPI Adjustment Dates. (c) CPI Adjustment. Effective on each CPI Adjustment Date, the then current Base Rent shall be adjusted as follows: The Initial Base Rent hereunder shall first be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Consumer Price Index for the calendar month prior to such CPI Adjustment Date and the denominator of which is the Consumer Price Index for the CPI Base Month. If the foregoing calculation results in an amount which is equal to or less than Minimum Increase Multiple of the then current Base Rent with respect to such CPI Adjustment Date, then the Base Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to Minimum Increase Multiple of the then current Base Rent. If the foregoing calculation would result in an amount which exceeds Minimum Increase Multiple of the then current Base Rent, such amount shall be the new Base Rent, provided however, such increase shall not result in an amount which exceeds Maximum Increase Multiple of the then current Base Rent. Landlord shall endeavor to provide Tenant with written notice of each such Base Rent adjustment prior to the applicable CPI Adjustment Date, or as soon thereafter as the necessary Consumer Price Index Information is reasonably available. In the event that Tenant receives notice of any such increase after Tenant has already made one or more of the Base Rent payments which is increased thereby, Tenant shall 2 pay Landlord, within five (5) business days thereafter, the incremental amount(s) necessary to supplement such Base Rent payments. 5. OPERATING EXPENSES. (a) Operating Expenses as Portion of Rent. Tenant shall pay as additional Rent Tenant's Percentage Share of the Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord during the calendar year. Tenant acknowledges that certain Operating Expenses will be allocated to the Building and certain Operating Expenses will be allocated to the Property. Landlord's reasonable allocation of Operating Expenses to the Building and the Property shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. (b) Definition of Operating Expenses. The term "Operating Expenses" shall mean (i) all of Landlord's direct costs and expenses of operation, repair and maintenance of the Building, the Property and the Common Areas and supporting facilities, as determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or other recognized accounting principles, consistently applied; (ii) costs, or a portion thereof, properly allocable to the Building, Property or Common Areas of any capital improvements made to the Building, Property or Common Areas by Landlord which comprise labor-saving devices or other equipment intended to improve the operating efficiency of any system within the Building, Property or Common Areas (such as an energy management computer, system) to the extent of cost savings in Operating Expenses as a result of the device or equipment, as reasonably determined by Landlord; and (iii) costs properly allocable to the Building, Property or Common Areas of any capital improvements made to the Building, Property or Common Areas by Landlord that are required under any governmental law or regulation that was not applicable to the Building, Property and Common Areas at the time they were constructed, or that are reasonably required for the health and safety of tenants in the Property or Building, or that are reasonably required to replace capital items on the Property, the costs, or allocable portion thereof, to be amortized over the useful life of such improvement (as reasonably determined by Landlord) on a straight-line basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, together with interest upon the unamortized balance at the Interest Rate or such higher rate as may have been paid by Landlord on funds borrowed for the purpose of constructing the capital improvements. The term "Operating Expenses" shall include the costs of all utilities (including surcharges) for the Common Areas; the cost of all insurance which Landlord or Landlord's lender deems necessary for the Property and Building; a reasonable management fee; dues imposed by any property owner's association ("Association"); and the Real Property Taxes (as defined in subsection 5(f)). If Landlord elects to self-insure or includes the Property under blanket insurance policies covering multiple properties, then the term "Operating Expenses" shall include the portion of the cost of such self-insurance or blanket insurance reasonably allocated by Landlord to this Property. If less than ninety percent (90%) of the rentable area of the Building is occupied, Operating Expenses shall be adjusted to equal Landlord's reasonable estimate of Operating Expenses as if ninety percent (90%) of the total rentable area of the Building were occupied. Operating Expenses may include a fee to Landlord for managing the Property, provided that the amount of any such fee shall not be unreasonable in comparison to management fees then being charged by landlords of comparable properties in the vicinity of the Property and shall not in any event for any calendar year exceed five percent (5%) of total Property revenues (including all rent and reimbursement for taxes and operating expenses) payable to Landlord during such year. (c) Exclusions from Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the term "Operating Expenses" shall not include (i) the cost of any additional or extraordinary services provided to any other tenant of the Property; (ii) costs to comply with violations of building code or other governmental violation existing as of the Commencement Date, provided that the condition of the Building shall not be deemed to violate any such code or requirement if it was constructed in compliance with such code or requirement and applicable law does not require modification of such condition as of the Commencement Date; (iii) costs paid directly by any tenant of the Property; (iv) principal and interest payments on loans; (v) real estate sales or leasing brokerage commissions or finders fees; (vi) salaries of off-site personnel employed by Landlord except for the charge (or pro rata share) of the manager of the Property and Building (employed to operate or repair the common area); (vii) personal property taxes paid by any tenant; (viii) depreciation on improvements or equipment and machinery; (ix) advertising or promotional expenses; (x) attorneys' fees incurred in connection with negotiation or enforcement of leases; (xi) costs or expenses incurred for loss or damage to the Property to the extent insured by applicable insurance maintained by Landlord, provided however any deductible may be included as a replacement capital improvement amortized in accordance with subsection (b); or (xii) capital improvements to the structural portion of the Building, structural roof system, footings, foundations and load bearing walls, except to the extent such improvement is required as a result of a change after the Commencement Date in governmental laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Building. 3 (d) Estimates of Operating Expenses. Excluding all separately metered utility expenses for any other tenants in the Building, during December of each calendar year during the Term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord's estimate of the amount of Operating Expenses which will be payable for the ensuing calendar year. On or before the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated amount; provided, however, that if notice is not given in December, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of the then applicable Rent until the month after the notice is given. If at any time it appears to Landlord that the amount payable for the current calendar year will vary from Landlord's estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord may give notice to Tenant of Landlord's revised estimate for the year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for the year shall be based on the revised estimate; provided, however, that Landlord shall not give notice of a revised estimate for any year more frequently than once a calender quarter. (e) Annual Adjustment. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each calendar year of the Term, or as soon after the one hundred twenty (120) day period as practicable, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the actual Operating Expenses for the prior calendar year. Such statement shall include a reasonable line-item breakdown of Operating Expenses. If, on the basis of the statement, Tenant owes an amount that is less than the estimated payments for the calendar year previously made by Tenant, Landlord shall apply the excess to the next payment of Operating Expenses due or refund such amount in cash with respect to the final lease year. If, on the basis of the statement, Tenant owes an amount that is more than the estimated payments for the calendar year previously made by the Tenant, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement. The statement of Operating Expenses shall be presumed correct and shall be deemed final and binding upon Tenant unless (i) Tenant in good faith objects in writing thereto within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement to Tenant (which writing shall state, in reasonable detail, all of the reasonable detail, all of the reasons for the objection); and (ii) Tenant pays in full, within thirty (30) days after delivery or the statement to Tenant, any amount owed by Tenant with respect to the statement which is not in dispute. Tenant's failure to pay undisputed the amount shown on Landlord's statement within thirty (30) days after delivery thereof or Tenant's failure to pay in a timely manner the undisputed amount set forth on the revised estimate of Landlord's determination of Operating Expenses shall be deemed an irrevocable waiver of Tenant's right to contest and/or receive any credit or reimbursement for an overcharge of Operating Expenses shown on the Landlord's statement under which payment is required at that time. If Tenant objects to Landlord's allocation to this Property of the cost of self-insurance or blanket insurance, such allocation shall nonetheless be presumed correct and shall be deemed final and binding upon Tenant unless Tenant's timely written objection includes credible evidence that Landlord could have obtained substantially comparable insurance coverage for this Property alone at lower cost. (f) Tenant's Right to Audit Landlord's Records. Within ninety (90) days after timely giving Landlord its notice of its objection to Landlord's statement of actual Operating Expenses in accordance with subsection 5(e), (the "Landlord's Statement"), Tenant shall have the right to audit at Landlord's local offices, at Tenant's expense, Landlord's accounts and records relating to Operating Expenses and Real Property Taxes. Such audit shall be conducted by a certified public accountant approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be completed within such ninety (90) day period. If such audit reveals that Landlord has overcharged Tenant, the amount overcharged shall be paid (or at Landlord's option credited toward amounts next payable by Tenant under this Lease) to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the audit is concluded. In addition, if, following such audit, the parties agree that Landlord's Statement of Operating Expenses exceeds the actual Operating Expenses which should have been charged to Tenant by more than ten percent (10%), the cost of such audit shall be paid by Landlord. (g) Definition of Real Property Taxes. The term "Real Property Taxes" shall mean any ordinary or extraordinary form of assessment or special assessment, license fee, rent tax, levy, penalty (if a result of Tenant's delinquency), or tax, other than net income, estate, succession, inheritance, transfer or franchise taxes, imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, or by any city, county, state or federal government for any maintenance or improvement or other district or division thereof. The term shall include all transit charges, housing fund assessments, real estate taxes and all other taxes relating to the Premises, Building and/or Property, all other taxes which may be levied in lieu of real estate taxes, all assessments, assessment bonds, levies, fees and other governmental charges (including, but not limited to, charges for traffic facilities, improvements, child care, water services studies and improvements, and fire services studies and improvements) for amounts necessary to be expended because of governmental orders, whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, unforeseen as well as foreseen, or any kind and nature for public improvement, services, benefits or any other purposes which are assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed or become a lien upon the Premises, Building or Property or become payable during the Term. (h) Acknowledgment of Parties. It is acknowledged by Landlord and Tenant that Proposition 13 was 4 adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June, 1978 election, and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such purposes as fire protection, street, sidewalk, road, utility construction and maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services which formerly may have been provided without charge to property owners or occupants. It is the intention of the parties that all new and increased assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges due to Proposition 13 or any other cause are to be included within the definition of Real Property Taxes for purposes of this Lease. (i) Taxes on Tenant Improvements and Personal Property. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Tenant shall pay the full amount of any Real Property Taxes during the Term resulting from any and all alterations and tenant improvements of any kind whatsoever placed in, on or about the Premises 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. Tenant shall not be responsible for payment of taxes to the extent assessed as a result of improvements installed by or for the benefit of another tenant which are in excess of Landlord's standard tenant improvements for the Property. 6. PRORATION OF RENT. If the Base Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of the month, or if the end of the Term is not the last day of the month, Base Rent shall be prorated on a monthly basis (based upon a thirty (30) day month) for the fractional month during the month which this Lease commences or terminates. The termination of this Lease shall not affect the obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to subsection 5(e) which are to be performed after the termination. 7. LANDLORD'S WORK.

(m) This Section 8 of the Lease shall survive termination of the Lease. 9. ALTERATIONS. (a) Initial Alterations. (i) Preliminary Plans. Preliminary plans and specifications for construction of the tenant improvements to be initially installed by Tenant in the Premises ("Initial Alterations") shall be prepared by a licensed architect as is proposed by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord (the "Architect"). The preliminary plans and specifications shall be submitted to Landlord for Landlord's approval which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that Landlord may withhold such consent, in Landlord's sole discretion, if the construction contemplated by such preliminary plans will affect the structure, roof, or the exterior appearance of the Building, or will have an adverse affect on the utility systems of the Building. The preliminary plans and specifications approved as set forth above are referred to herein as the "Approved Preliminary Plans." (ii) Working Drawings. Promptly following approval of the Approved Preliminary Plans, Tenant shall instruct the Architect to produce, and submit to Landlord for review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, working drawings and specifications. The working drawings and specifications which have been approved as provided herein are hereinafter referred to as the "Approved Working Drawings." (iii) Selection of Contractor. Tenant shall engage a general contractor as is proposed by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord (the "Contractor") to construct the Initial Alterations. (iv) Construction. Tenant shall cause construction of the Initial Alterations to be completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Tenant shall provide access to Landlord at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the construction of the Initial Alterations and shall cooperate with Landlord and Landlord's agents during such inspections and provide to Landlord and Landlord's agents such information as Landlord or Landlord's agents may reasonably request. Landlord shall not charge a plan review, construction management fee or any other fee in connection with the design and construction of the Initial Alterations. (v) Change Requests. No material changes to the Approved Working Drawings requested by Tenant shall be made without Landlord's prior approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, condition or delayed. Any changes to the Approved Working Drawings shall be in writing and shall be signed by both Landlord and Tenant prior to the change being made. (vi) Plans and Specifications. Upon completion, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a complete set of "as-built" plans and specifications for the Initial Alterations. (b) Additional Alterations. As used in this Section 9, the term "alteration" shall include the Initial Alterations and any subsequent alteration, addition or improvement. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) days' notice of any alteration Tenant desires to make to the Premises. Except for the Initial Alterations, Tenant shall not make any alteration in, on or about the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord unless the alteration does not affect the Building structure, the exterior appearance of the Building, the roof or the Building systems (e.g., electrical systems) and such alteration does not require a building permit and the cost of the alteration is not in excess of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00). Tenant shall comply with all rules, laws, ordinances and requirements applicable at the time Tenant makes any alteration and shall deliver to Landlord a complete set of "as built" plans and specifications for each alteration. Tenant shall be solely responsible for maintenance and repair of all alterations made by Tenant. (c) Liens. If, because of any act or omission of Tenant or anyone claiming by, through, or under Tenant, any mechanics' lien or other lien is filed against the Premises or against other property of Landlord (whether or not the lien is valid or enforceable), Tenant, at its own expense, shall cause it to be discharged 8 of record (by lien release bond or otherwise) within a reasonable time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, after the date of the filing. In addition, Tenant shall defend and indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from any and all claims, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, cost and expenses, including attorneys' fees, resulting from the lien. (d) Ownership of Alterations. Any alteration made by Tenant shall become Landlord's property, at Landlord's election, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Except as provided in subsection 9(d), Landlord may require Tenant, at Tenant's sole expense and by the end of the Term, to remove any alterations (including the Initial Alterations) made by Tenant and to restore the Premises to its condition prior to the alteration. (e) Request Regarding Removal Obligation. At the time that Tenant requests Landlord's consent to any alteration (including the Initial Alterations), Tenant may request, and promptly following receipt of such request, Landlord shall notify Tenant if Landlord will require Tenant, at Tenant's sole expense, to remove any or all of the alteration by the end of the Term, and to restore the Premises to its condition prior to the alteration. Landlord will not require removal of the Initial Alterations to the extent such alterations are for general office use and will not require unusual expenses of demolition and removal, as reasonably determined by Landlord. 10. REPAIRS. (a) Tenant's Obligation. Except as provided in subsection 10(b), Tenant, at all times during the Term and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall keep the Premises and every part thereof in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear, damage thereto not caused by Tenant, by fire, earthquake, acts of God or the elements excepted. Tenant hereby waives all right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises as provided in California Civil Code Section 1942 or any other law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not be responsible for repairing or restoring the Premises or any part thereof to the extent required as a result of the willful misconduct or active negligence of Landlord or its agents, representatives, employees or contractors. (b) Landlord's Obligations. Landlord, at Landlord's expense, without reimbursement from Tenant (other than the cost of a capital improvement required to be made during the Term as a result of a change in applicable Laws after the date hereof, as may be included in Operating Expenses under subsection 5(b), shall repair and maintain the structural portions of the roof (but not roof membrane or other non-structural elements of the roof) and structural portions of the Building except that Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of the maintenance and repairs to the extent required as a result of the act, neglect or fault of Tenant and/or Tenant's agents, contractors, employees or invitees. There shall be no abatement of Rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to the fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas subject to reimbursement of its expenses. 11. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. (a) Landlord's Obligation to Rebuild. If the Premises are damaged or destroyed, Landlord promptly and diligently shall repair the Premises (subject to the limitations specified in this Section 11) unless Landlord has the option to terminate this Lease as provided herein, and Landlord elects to terminate. (b) Right to Terminate. Landlord and Tenant each shall have the option to terminate this Lease if the Premises or the Building is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, regardless of whether the casualty is insured against under this Lease, if Landlord reasonably determines that Landlord's obligation to repair the Premises or the Building under this Section 11 cannot be completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the casualty. If a party desires to exercise the right to terminate this Lease as a result of a casualty, the party shall exercise the right by giving the other party written notice of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers written notice of the estimated time to complete such repairs, in which event this Lease shall terminate fifteen (15) days after the date of the notice. If neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises the right to terminate this Lease, Landlord promptly shall commence the process of obtaining necessary permits and approvals, and shall commence repair of the Premises as soon as practicable and thereafter prosecute the repair diligently to completion, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. (c) Limited Obligation to Repair. Landlord's obligation, should Landlord elect or be obligated to repair or rebuild, shall be limited to the Building shell and other portions of the Premises to the extent actually 9 insured by Landlord under insurance policies carried by Landlord. Tenant, at its option and expense, shall replace or fully repair all trade fixtures, equipment and other improvements installed by Tenant and existing at the time of the damage or destruction. (d) Abatement of Rent. In the event of any damage or destruction to thirty percent (30%) or more of the square footage of the Premises which does not result in the termination of this Lease, both the Base Rent and Operating Expenses shall be temporarily abated proportionately to the degree the Premises are untenantable as a result of the damage or destruction, commencing from the date of the damage or destruction and continuing during the period required by Landlord to substantially complete its repair and restoration of the Premises. In the event of any damage or destruction to less than thirty percent (30%) of the square footage of the Premises, which does not result in the termination of this Lease, only the Base Rent shall be temporarily abated proportionately to the degree the Premises are untenantable as a result of the damage or destruction, commencing from the date of the damage or destruction and continuing during the period required by Landlord to substantially complete its repair and restoration of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude Landlord from being entitled to collect the full amount of any rent loss insurance proceeds. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the Premises, damage to Tenant's personal property or any inconvenience occasioned by any damage, repair or restoration. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and Section 1933, Subdivision 4, of the California Civil Code, and the provisions of any similar law hereafter enacted. (e) Damage Near End of Term and Extensive Damage. In addition to the rights to termination under subsection 11(b), either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of the occurrence of destruction or damage if the Premises or the Building is substantially destroyed or damaged (i.e., there is damage or destruction which Landlord determines would require more than six (6) months to repair) and made untenantable during the last twelve (12) months of the Term. Landlord or Tenant shall give notice of its election to terminate this Lease under this subsection 11(e) within thirty (30) days after Landlord determines that the damage or destruction would require more than six (6) months to repair. If neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, the repair of the damage shall be governed by subsection 11(a) or 11(b), as the case may be. For purposes of this Section, if Tenant has been granted an option to extend the Term and the period within which Tenant is entitled to exercise such option has not lapsed, then the damage or destruction shall not be deemed to have occurred during the last year of the Term if Tenant exercises its option to extend within twenty (20) days after the event of damage or destruction or the date Tenant is required to exercise such option under this Lease, whichever is earlier, in accordance with the requirements of this Lease. (f) Insurance Proceeds. If this Lease is terminated, Landlord may keep all the insurance proceeds resulting from the damage, except for those proceeds which specifically insured Tenant's personal property and trade fixtures. 12. EMINENT DOMAIN. If all or any part of the Premises is taken for public or quasi-public use by a governmental authority under the power of eminent domain or is conveyed to a governmental authority in lieu of such taking, and if the taking or conveyance causes the remaining part of the Premises to be untenantable and inadequate for use by Tenant for the purpose for which they were leased, then Tenant, at its option and by giving notice within fifteen (15) days after the taking, may terminate this Lease as of the date Tenant is required to surrender possession of the Premises. If a part of the Premises is taken or conveyed but the remaining part is tenantable and adequate for Tenant's use, then this Lease shall be terminated as to the part taken or conveyed as of the date Tenant surrenders possession; Landlord shall make such repairs, alterations and improvements as may be necessary to render the part not taken or conveyed tenantable; and the Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the part of the Premises taken or conveyed. All compensation awarded for the taking or conveyance shall be the property of Landlord without any deduction therefrom for any estate of Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all its right, title and interest in and to the award. Tenant shall have the right, however, to recover from the governmental authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be awarded to Tenant on account of the interruption of Tenant's business, moving and relocation expenses; and removal of Tenant's trade fixtures and personal property. 13. INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE. (a) Indemnity. Tenant shall be responsible for, shall insure against, and shall indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from, any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, cost, fees and expenses, including attorneys', experts' and consultants' fees in any way related to any loss, damage or injury to person or property occurring in, on or about the Premises, except to the extent it is determined that such loss or damage was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's representatives, servants, employees or contractors, and Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any and 10 all liability for the same. Tenant's obligation to indemnify Landlord and its constituent parts hereunder shall include the duty to defend against any claims asserted by reason of any loss, damage or injury, and to pay any judgments, settlements, costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection therewith. (b) Insurance. At all times during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall carry, at its own expense, for the protection of Tenant, Landlord, and Landlord's management agents, as their interests may appear, one or more policies of comprehensive general public liability and property damage insurance, issued by one or more insurance companies acceptable to Landlord, with minimum coverages of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for injury to one person in any one accident, Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for injuries to more than one person in any one accident and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in property damage per accident and insuring against any and all liability for which Tenant is responsible under this Lease. The insurance policy or policies shall name Landlord, Landlord's constituent parts and Landlord's management agents as additional insureds, and shall provide that the policy or policies may not be cancelled on less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates evidencing the insurance. If Tenant fails to carry the insurance and furnish Landlord with copies of all the policies after a request to do so, Landlord shall have the right to obtain the insurance and collect the cost thereof from Tenant as additional Rent. (c) Landlord's Insurance. Landlord agrees to purchase and keep in force and effect commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) general aggregate, and All Risk property insurance with an agreed amount endorsement, and Boiler and Machinery insurance on the Building, with such deductibles as Landlord may in its discretion determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Landlord hereunder shall be The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential"), the blanket coverage maintained by Prudential under its insurance program for its portfolio of properties shall be deemed to be satisfactory under this clause. Landlord's insurance shall provide that it is specific and not contributory and the property insurance shall contain a clause pursuant to which the insurance carriers waive all rights of subrogation against Tenant with respect to losses payable under such policies. 14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. (a) Landlord's Consent. Tenant shall not assign, sublet or otherwise transfer all or any portion of Tenant's interest in this Lease (collectively, "sublet") without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Consent by Landlord to one sublet shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent sublet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not, in any event, enter into any sublease for a term longer than twenty four (24) months nor, during the Term, shall the Premises be subject to any sublease or subleases for a period in the aggregate longer than thirty six (36) months (i.e. the Premises during the initial term shall not be subject to any subleases for at least seven (7) years of the ten (10) years of the Term). (b) Effect of Sublet. Each sublet to which Landlord has consented shall be by an instrument in writing, in a form satisfactory to Landlord as evidenced by Landlord's written approval. Each sublessee shall agree in writing, for the benefit of Landlord, to assume, to be bound by and to perform the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. Tenant shall not be released from personal liability for the performance of each term, condition and covenant of this Lease, and Landlord shall have the right to proceed against Tenant without proceeding against the subtenant. (c) Information to be Furnished. If Tenant desires at any time to sublet the Premises, Tenant first shall notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing to Landlord: (i) the name of the proposed subtenant; (ii) the nature of the proposed subtenant's business to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of the proposed sublease and a copy of the proposed sublease form; and (iv) such financial information, including financial statements, as Landlord reasonably may request concerning the proposed subtenant. (d) Landlord's Election. At any time within twenty (20) days after Landlord's receipt of the information specified in subsection 14(c), Landlord, by written notice to Tenant, may elect either (i) to consent to the sublet by Tenant; or (ii) to refuse its consent to the sublet. If Landlord fails to elect either of the alternatives within the thirty (30) day period, its shall be deemed that Landlord has refused its consent to the sublet. If Landlord refuses its consent, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the basis for its refusal. Any attempted sublet without Landlord's consent shall not be effective. (e) Payment Upon Sublet. If Landlord consents to the sublet, Tenant thereafter may enter into a valid 11 sublet of the Premises or portion thereof, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the information furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to subsection 14(c), subject to the condition that fifty percent (50%) of any excess of the monies due to Tenant under the sublet ("subrent") over the Rent required to be paid by Tenant hereunder plus any commissions paid by Tenant in connection with such sublease shall be paid to Landlord. For purposes of such calculations, commissions paid by Tenant shall be amortized over the term of the sublease. Any subrent to be paid to Landlord pursuant hereto shall be payable to Landlord as and with the Base Rent payable to Landlord hereunder pursuant to the terms of Section 4. The term "subrent" as used herein shall include any consideration of any kind received, or to be received, by Tenant from the subtenant, if the sums are related to Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the Premises, including, without limitation, bonus money, and payments (in excess of fair market value thereof) for Tenant's assets, fixtures, inventory, accounts, goodwill, equipment, furniture, general intangibles and any capital stock or other equity ownership of Tenant. (f) Executed Counterparts. No sublet shall be valid nor shall any subtenant take possession of the Premises until an executed counterpart of the sublease has been delivered to Landlord and approved in writing. (g) Transfer to Purchaser. A transfer of this Lease to one or more purchasers of a majority interest in Tenant shall be deemed a sublet under this Lease. (h) Transfers to Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises, without Landlord's consent, to any corporation which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or to any corporation resulting from the merger or consolidation with Tenant, or to any person or entity which acquires all the assets of Tenant as a going concern of the business that is being conducted on the Premises, provided that the assignee assumes, in full, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. (i) Costs. In the event Tenant shall assign or sublet the Premises or request the consent of Landlord to any assignment, subletting, hypothecation or other action requiring Landlord's consent hereunder, then Tenant shall pay a processing fee in the amount of $500 plus Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith. Landlord's charge for attorneys' fees in connection with a review of a proposed assignment or sublease shall not exceed $2000 so long as the sublease does not purport to amend any of the terms of this Lease or to obligate Landlord to perform any additional obligations under this Lease and Tenant does not request any modifications to Landlord's form consent to such assignment or sublease. 15. DEFAULT. (a) Tenant's Default. At the option of Landlord, a material breach of this Lease by Tenant shall exist if any of the following events (severally, "Event of Default"; collectively, "Events of Default") shall occur: (i) if Tenant shall have failed to pay Rent, including Tenant's Percentage Share of Operating Expenses, or any other sum required to be paid hereunder when due and such failure is not cured within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord (which notice may be in the form of a statutory notice to pay rent or quit); (ii) if Tenant shall have failed to perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease except those requiring the payment of money, and Tenant shall have failed to cure the breach within fifteen (15) days after written notice from Landlord if the breach could reasonably be cured within the fifteen (15) day period; provided, however, if the failure could not reasonably be cured within the fifteen (15) day period, then Tenant shall not be in default unless it has failed to promptly commence and thereafter continue to make diligent and reasonable efforts to cure the failure as soon as practicable as reasonably determined by Landlord; (iii) if Tenant shall have assigned its assets for the benefit of its creditors; (iv) if the sequestration of, attachment of, or execution on, any material part of the property of Tenant or on any property essential to the conduct of Tenant's business shall have occurred, and Tenant shall have failed to obtain a return or release of the property within thirty (30) days thereafter, or prior to sale pursuant to any sequestration, attachment or levy, whichever is earlier; (v) if Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises and failed to pay Rent; (vi) if a court shall have made or entered any decree or order adjudging Tenant to be insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of Tenant, or directing the winding up or liquidation of Tenant, and the decree or order shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days; (vii) if Tenant shall make or suffer any transfer which constitutes a fraudulent or otherwise avoidable transfer under any provision of the federal Bankruptcy laws or any applicable state law; or (viii) if Tenant shall have failed to comply with the provisions of Section 23 or 25. An Event of Default shall constitute a default under this Lease. (b) Remedies Upon Tenant's Default. Upon an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law, equity, statute or otherwise provided 12 in this Lease, to which Landlord may resort cumulatively or in the alternative: (i) Landlord may continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to collect Rent when due. During the period Tenant is in default, Landlord may enter the Premises and relet it, or any part of it, to third parties for Tenant's account, provided that any Rent in excess of the Rent due hereunder shall be payable to Landlord. Tenant shall be liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the Premises, including, without limitation, brokers' commissions, expenses of cleaning and redecorating the Premises required by the reletting and like costs. Reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term of this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Rent and other sums due under this Lease on the dates the Rent is due, less the Rent and other sums Landlord receives from any reletting. No act by Landlord allowed by this subsection (i) shall terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease. (ii) Landlord may terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises at any time by giving written notice to that effect. No act by Landlord other than giving written notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession. On termination, Landlord shall have the right to remove all personal property of Tenant and store it at Tenant's cost and to 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 termination; plus (b) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable which would have been payable after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of the Rent loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (c) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other sums due and payable for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the Rent loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus (d) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment 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, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord: (1) in retaking possession of the Premises, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs therefor; (2) maintaining or preserving the Premises for reletting to a new tenant, including repairs or alterations to the Premises for the reletting; (3) leasing commissions; (4) any other costs necessary or appropriate to relet the Premises; and (5) 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 the laws of the State of California. The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in subsections (ii)(a) and (ii)(b) is computed by allowing interest at the Interest Rate, 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 subsection (ii)(c) is computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award, plus one percent (1%). Tenant waives redemption or relief from forfeiture under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1174 and 1179, or under any other present or future law, if Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes possession of the Premises by reason of any default of Tenant hereunder. (c) Landlord's Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord hereunder unless and until Landlord has failed to perform the obligation within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform the obligation; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than fifteen (15) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if Landlord shall commence the performance within the fifteen (15) day period and thereafter shall diligently prosecute the same to completion. 16. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO PERFORM TENANT'S COVENANTS. If Tenant shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed under this Lease and Tenant does not cure such failure within the applicable cure period provided herein (or such shorter period as Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate in the event of an emergency), Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make the payment or perform any other act to the extent Landlord may deem desirable and, in connection therewith, pay expenses and employ counsel. Any payment or performance by Landlord shall not waive or release Tenant from any obligations of Tenant under this Lease. All sums so paid by Landlord, and all penalties, interest and costs in connection therewith, shall be due and payable by Tenant on the next day after any payment by Landlord, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, from that date to the date of payment thereof by Tenant to Landlord, plus collection costs and 13 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. 17. [Intentionally Omitted] 18. SURRENDER OF PREMISES. By taking possession of the Premises, except as provided in Section 7, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises and the Property in good condition and repair, subject to all applicable laws, codes and ordinances. On the expiration or early termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in its condition as of the Base Rent Commencement Date, normal wear and tear and damage due to casualty or condemnation excepted. The foregoing exception for damage to the Premises shall not apply to damage caused by Tenant and/or Tenant's agents, contractors, employees and invitees except to the extent the waiver of certain claims contained in Section 22 applies to such damage. Tenant shall remove from the Premises all of Tenant's personal property, trade fixtures and any alterations (including the Initial Alterations to the extent required to be removed under subsection 9(e)) required to be removed pursuant to Section 9. Tenant shall repair damage or perform any restoration work required by the removal. If Tenant fails to remove any personal property, trade fixtures or alterations after the end of the Term, Landlord may remove the property and store it at Tenant's expense, including interest at the Interest Rate. If the Premises are not so surrendered at the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all loss or liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant, losses to Landlord due to lost opportunities to lease to succeeding tenants, and attorneys' fees and costs. 19. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of all or any part of the Premises after the expiration of the Term or the termination of this Lease, the tenancy shall be month-to-month only and shall not constitute a renewal or extension for any further term. In such event, Base Rent shall be increased in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent during the last month of the Term (including any extensions), and any other sums due under this Lease shall be payable in the amount, and at the times, specified in this Lease. The month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, condition, covenant and agreement contained in this Lease and Tenant shall vacate the Premises immediately upon Landlord's request. 20. ACCESS TO PREMISES. Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents to enter the Premises at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice, except in the case of an emergency (in which event no notice shall be necessary), to inspect the Premises; to post Notices of Nonresponsibility and similar notices and to show the Premises to interested parties such as prospective mortgagors, purchasers and tenants; to make necessary alterations, additions, improvements or repairs either to the Premises, the Building or other premises within the Building; and to discharge Tenant's obligations hereunder when Tenant has failed to do so within a reasonable time after written notice from Landlord. The above rights are subject to reasonable security regulations of Tenant, and to the requirement that Landlord shall at all times act in a manner to cause the least possible interference with Tenant's operations. 21. SIGNS. The size, design, color, location and other physical aspects of any sign in or on the Building shall be subject to the CC&R's, if any, Rules and Landlord's approval (not unreasonably withheld) prior to installation, and to any appropriate municipal or other governmental approvals. The costs of any permitted sign, and the costs of its installation, maintenance and removal, shall be at Tenant's sole expense and shall be paid within ten (10) days of Tenant's receipt of a bill from Landlord for the costs. 22. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives and releases the other of and from any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or cause of action against the other, its subsidiaries, directors, agents, officers and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur in the Premises, the Building or the Property; to improvements to the Building or personal property (building contents) within the Building; or to any furniture, equipment, machinery, goods and supplies not covered by this Lease which Tenant may bring or obtain upon the Premises or any additional improvements which Tenant may construct on the Premises by reason of fire, the elements or any other cause which is required to be insured against under this Lease, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence of Landlord or Tenant and their agents, subsidiaries, directors, officers and employees, to the extent insured against under the terms of any insurance policies carried by Landlord or Tenant and in force at the time of any such damage, but only if the insurance in question permits such a partial release in connection with obtaining a waiver of subrogation from the insurer. Because this Section 22 will preclude the assignment of any claim mentioned in it by way of subrogation or otherwise to an insurance company or any other person, each party to this Lease agrees immediately to give to each insurance company written notice of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this Section and to have the insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverages by reason of the mutual waivers contained in this Section. 14 23. Subordination. (a) Subordinate Nature. Except as provided in subsection 23(b), this Lease is subject and subordinate to all ground and underlying leases, mortgages and deeds of trust which now or may hereafter affect the Property, the Building or the Premises, to the CC&R's, if any, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Subject to subsection 23(c), within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's written request therefor, Tenant shall execute any and all documents required by Landlord, the lessor under any ground or underlying lease ("Lessor"), or the holder or holders of any mortgage or deed of trust ("Holder") to make this Lease subordinate to the lien of any lease, mortgage or deed of trust, as the case may be. (b) Possible Priority of Lease. If a Lessor or a Holder advises Landlord that it desires or requires this Lease to be prior and superior to a lease, mortgage or deed of trust, Landlord may notify Tenant.

(c) Recognition or Attornment Agreement. If Landlord or Holder requests Tenant to execute a document subordinating this Lease, the document shall provide that, so long as Tenant is not in default, Lessor or Holder shall agree to enter into either a recognition or attornment agreement with Tenant, or a new lease with Tenant upon the same terms and conditions as to possession of the Premises, which shall provide that Tenant may continue to occupy the Premises so long as Tenant shall pay the Rent and observe and perform all the provisions of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant. 24. TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY. Upon transfer of the Property and assignment of this Lease and assumption of this Lease by Landlord's successor, Landlord shall be entirely freed and relieved of all liability under any and all of its covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease occurring after the consummation of the transfer and assignment, and from all liability for the Security Deposit. Subject to subsection 23(c), Tenant shall attorn to any entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring the Premises at any sale or other proceeding. 25. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Within fifteen (15) days following written request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate, in the form prepared by Landlord.

MORTGAGEE PROTECTION. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust or mortgagee of a mortgage covering the Property (provided Tenant has received notice of the name and address of such person) and shall offer the beneficiary or mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Property or the Premises by power of sale or a judicial foreclosure, if such should prove necessary to effect a cure; provided, however, that the time to cure such default shall not exceed thirty (30) days after the expiration of the time period granted to Landlord to cure such default, or if additional time is requested, the beneficiary, mortgagor or ground lessor shall have the right to such extra time only upon giving Tenant reasonable assurances that such default will be cured. 27. ATTORNEYS' FEES.

The prevailing party shall be the party which secures a final judgement in its favor. 28. BROKERS.

Tenant agrees not to use in excess of the foregoing parking allocation and agrees to cooperate with Landlord and other tenants in the use of the parking facilities.

The foregoing parking rights shall be furnished at no cost to Tenant, except for such costs as are properly included in Operating Expenses (i.e. parking lot maintenance and repairs, Real Estate Taxes, etc.). 30. UTILITIES AND SERVICES. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining and paying for all utilities and services, including heating, air conditioning, ventilation (i.e., HVAC service contracts, janitorial and security) in connection with the Premises.

MODIFICATION FOR LENDER. If, in connection with obtaining institutional financing for the Premises or any portion thereof, Landlord's lender shall request reasonable modification to this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided such modifications do not materially affect Tenant's rights hereunder, are reasonable (in Tenant's sole discretion), do not increase the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and do not materially or unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use, enjoyment or occupation of the Premises in accordance with this Lease. 32. ACCEPTANCE. Delivery of this Lease, duly executed by Tenant, constitutes an offer to lease the Premises as set forth herein, 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 become effective and binding only upon execution hereof by Landlord and delivery of a signed copy to Tenant. Upon acceptance of Tenant's offer to lease under the terms hereof and receipt by Landlord of the Rent for the first month of the Term and the Security Deposit in connection with Tenant's submission of the offer, Landlord shall be entitled to retain the sums and apply them to damages, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord if Tenant fails to occupy the Premises. If Landlord rejects the offer, the sums shall be returned to Tenant. 33. USE OF NAMES. Tenant shall not use the name of the Building or the name of the business park in which the Building is located in the name or title of its business or occupation without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole discretion.

As of the date of execution of this Lease, the addresses of Landlord and Tenant are as specified in the Basic Lease Information. Either party may change its address by giving notice of the change in accordance with this Section. 37. LANDLORD'S EXCULPATION. In the event of default, breach or violation by Landlord (which term includes Landlord's partners, co-venturers and co-tenants, and officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of Landlord and Landlord's partners, co-venturers and co-tenants) of any of Landlord's obligations under this Lease, Landlord's liability to Tenant shall be limited to its ownership interest in the Building and Property or the proceeds of a public sale of the ownership interest pursuant to the foreclosure of a judgment against Landlord. Landlord shall not be personally liable, or liable in any event, for any deficiency beyond its ownership interest in the Building and Property. 16 38. ADDITIONAL STRUCTURES. Any diminution or interference with light, air or view by any structure which may be erected on land adjacent to the Building shall in no way alter this Lease or impose any liability on Landlord. 39. OPTION TO EXTEND. (a) Notice of Exercise. Tenant shall have the right to extend the initial term hereof for two (2) additional and consecutive periods of five years each upon the same terms and conditions as stated herein, except for Base Rent and, further, that Landlord shall not be obligated to make alterations or modifications to the Building and/or Premises and the number of additional periods shall be reduced by one for each extension that is exercised. Each such extension is herein referred to as "Extended Term." Failure to timely exercise any extension option hereunder shall cause all subsequent options to immediately become null and void. Tenant must exercise its right, if at all, by written notification (the "Notice of Exercise") to Landlord not less than nine (9) months nor more than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial term hereof, or the then current Extended Term, if any. Tenant's rights under this Section 39 shall be null and void if Tenant is in default of any of the provisions of this Lease beyond the expiration of the time period granted to Tenant to cure such default either at the time Tenant gives Landlord its Notice of Exercise or as of the date of the scheduled commencement of the Extended Term. (b) Options are Personal. The options to extend granted herein are personal to the Adaptec, Inc. and to Adaptec's permitted affiliates as described in subsection 14(h) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the rights contained in this Section 39 are not assignable or transferable by Adaptec, Inc. Landlord grants the rights contained herein to Tenant in consideration of Tenant's strict compliance with the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, the manner of exercise of this option. (c) Fair Market Rental. If Tenant exercises the right to extend the term then the Base Rent shall be adjusted to equal the Fair Market Rental for the Premises as of the date of the commencement of each such Extended Term, pursuant to the procedures hereinafter set forth. The term "Fair Market Rental" means the Base Rent chargeable for the Leased Premises based upon the following factors applicable to the Premises or any comparable premises: (i) Rental rates being charged for comparable premises in the same geographical location. (ii) The relative locations of the comparable premises. (iii) Improvements, or allowances provided for improvements, or to be provided. (iv) Rental adjustments, if any, or rental concessions. (v) Services and utilities provided or to be provided. (vi) Use limitations or restrictions. (vii) Any other relevant Lease terms or conditions. In no event, however, shall the Fair Market Rental be less than the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the commencement date of the Extended Term in question. The Fair Market Rental evaluation may include provision for further rent adjustments during the Extended Term in question if such adjustments are commonly required in the market place for similar types of leases. (d) Determination of Fair Market Rental. Upon exercise of the right to extend the term, and included within the Notice of Exercise, Tenant shall notify Landlord of its opinion of Fair Market Rental as above defined for the Extended Term. If Landlord disagrees with Tenant's opinion of the Fair Market Rental, it shall so notify Tenant ("Landlord's Value Notice") within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's Notice of Exercise. If the parties are unable to resolve their differences within ten (10) days thereafter, either party may apply for Arbitration as provided below. If neither party applies for Arbitration within ten (10) days after receipt by Tenant of Landlord's Value Notice, Tenant shall be bound to the Fair Market Rental stated in Landlord's Value Notice. Should either party elect to arbitrate, and if the arbitration is not concluded before the commencement of the Extended Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Landlord in an amount equal to the Base Rent payable immediately prior to the commencement of the Extended Term, until the Fair Market Rental is determined in accordance with the arbitration provisions hereof ("Arbitration"). If the Fair Market Rental as determined by Arbitration differs from the Base Rent payable immediately prior to the commencement of the Extended Term, then any adjustment required to correct the amount previously paid by Tenant shall be made by payment by the appropriate party within thirty (30) days after the determination of Fair Market Rental by Arbitration has been concluded, as provided herein. Tenant shall be obligated to make payment during the entire Extended Term of the Base Rent determined in accordance with the Arbitration 17 procedures hereunder. (e) Arbitration. In the event either party seeks Arbitration of Fair Market Rental under the provisions hereof for the Extended Term, the other party shall be bound to submit the matter for determination by Arbitration. The Arbitration shall be conducted and determined in the County where the Leased Premises are located. (f) Demand for Arbitration. A party demanding Arbitration hereunder shall make its demand in writing ("Demand Notice") within ten (10) days after service of Landlord's Value Notice. A copy of the Demand Notice shall be sent to the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), San Francisco office, requesting that a qualified Arbitrator be appointed in accordance with the Commercial Real Estate Rules of AAA. The Arbitrator shall be a real estate broker with at least seven (7) years' experience leasing properties in the same county for the general type of use to which the Premises are devoted under the terms of this Lease. The Arbitrator shall be a person who would be qualified to serve as an expert witness and to give opinion testimony addressed to the issue in a court of competent jurisdiction. Such a party is hereinafter referred to as the "Arbitrator." The parties may, however, before sending the Demand Notice to AAA, mutually agree upon an Arbitrator of their own choice, in which event such appointment shall nullify the necessity of appointment of an Arbitrator by AAA. (g) Decision of the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator so selected shall, within ninety (90) days after his appointment, state in writing his determination as to whether Landlord's valuation, or Tenant's valuation of Fair Market Rental, most closely approximates his own. The Arbitrator may not state his own opinion of Fair Market Rental, but is strictly limited to the selection of Landlord's Fair Market Rental evaluation as stated in Landlord's Value Notice or Tenant's Fair Market Rental evaluation as stated in the Notice of Exercise. The Arbitrator shall have the right to consult experts and competent authorities with factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Fair Market Rental, but any such consultation shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right to cross examine. The Arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the proposed valuations, and shall have no power to modify the provisions of this Lease. The valuation so chosen as most closely approximating that of the Arbitrator shall constitute the decision of the Arbitrator and shall be final and binding upon the parties, absent fraud or gross error. The Arbitrator shall render a decision and award in writing, with counterpart copies to each party and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. (h) Successor Arbitrator; Fees and Expenses. In the event of failure, refusal, or inability of the Arbitrator to act in a timely manner, a successor shall be appointed in the same manner referenced above. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator and the administrative hearing fee, if any, shall be divided equally between the parties. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and other expenses including fees for witnesses in presenting evidence to the Arbitrator. 40. GENERAL. (a) Captions. The captions and headings used in this Lease are for the purpose of convenience only and shall not be construed to limit or extend the meaning of any part of this Lease. (b) Time. Time is of the essence for the performance of each term, condition and covenant of this Lease. (c) Severability. If any provision of this Lease is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Lease, but this Lease shall be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been contained herein. (d) Choice of Law; Construction. 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. (e) Gender; Singular, Plural. When the context of this Lease requires, the neuter gender includes the masculine, the feminine, a partnership or corporation or joint venture, and the singular includes the plural. (f) Binding Effect. The covenants and agreements 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). (g) Waiver. The waiver of either party of any breach of any term, condition or covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the 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 the payment. No 18 covenant, term or condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by either party unless the waiver is in writing signed by such party. (h) 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. (i) Waiver of Jury. To the extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby waives any right it may have to a jury trial in the event of litigation between Tenant and Landlord pertaining to this Lease. (j) Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all counterparts shall constitute one (1) instrument. (k) Exhibits. The Basic Lease Information and all exhibits attached hereto are hereby incorporated herein and made an integral part hereof. (l) Addendum. The Addendum, if any, attached hereto is hereby incorporated herein and made an integral part hereof.

B. Landlord agreed that Tenant would have the exclusive right to use those parking spaces on the Property designated on Exhibit D to the Adaptec Lease. C. Landlord and Tenant now desire to amend the Adaptec Lease to redesignate the number and location of exclusive parking spaces on the Property which Adaptec is entitled to use. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the parties' mutual agreement to be bound hereby, it is agreed as follows: 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings provided in the Adaptec Lease unless otherwise stated. 2. Substitution of Parking Diagram. Exhibit D to the Adaptec Lease, the parking diagram, is hereby held for naught and shall be of no further force or effect, and the parking diagram attached hereto as Exhibit D is hereby substituted in lieu therefor. Henceforth, all references in the Adaptec Lease to "Exhibit D" shall be deemed to mean the parking diagram attached hereto as Exhibit D. 3. Amendment to Section 29 - Parking.

Tenant agrees not to use in excess of the foregoing parking allocation on the Property, and Tenant agrees that it has no right under this Lease to park on the adjacent property shown on Exhibit D. Handicapped spaces shall be available on a "first-come, first-served" basis. Tenant acknowledges that Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. ("Kaiser") has the exclusive right to use one hundred thirty-eight (138) other spaces within the Property designated as "X-Kaiser Leased Spaces" on Exhibit D. Landlord shall have no obligation to police such parking or otherwise assure that only Tenant's Parkers are using the parking allocated to Tenant under this Section 29. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, nor shall this Lease be affected, if any parking is impaired by moratorium, initiative, referendum, law, ordinance, regulation, or order passed, issued or made by any governmental or quasi-governmental body. The foregoing parking rights shall be furnished at no cost to Tenant, except for such costs as are properly included in Operating Expenses (i.e. parking lot maintenance and repairs, Real Estate Taxes, etc.)." 4. Rules and Regulations. The first sentence of paragraph 20 of the Rules and Regulations attached as Exhibit C to the Adaptec Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety. 5. Binding Effect.

Johnston - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO DECLARATION OF EASEMENT THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO DECLARATION OF EASEMENT (the "Amendment"), dated for reference purposes only as of this 11 day of June, 1998, is made by and between THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA, a New Jersey corporation ("Prudential"), and ADAPTEC, INC., a California corporation ("Adaptec"). RECITALS A. Prudential is the fee owner of that certain real property located in the City of Milpitas, County of Santa Clara, State of California, commonly known as 611-631 South Milpitas Boulevard, and more particularly described on Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein ("Parcel 1"). B. Adaptec is the fee owner of that certain real property located in the City of Milpitas, County of Santa Clara, State of California, commonly known as 628 Gibraltar Court, and more particularly described on Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein ("Parcel 2"). C. Prudential and Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. ("Kaiswer") are the parties to that certain lease, dated July 16, 1990, as amended, pursuant to which Prudential leases to Kaiswer a portion of Parcel 1 (the "Kaiswer Lease"). D. Prudential, as Declarant and the then owner of both Parcel 1 and Parcel 2, entered into that certain Declaration of Easement, dated May 15, 1992 and recorded the same against both Parcels on May 14, 1992 as Instrument No. 11361897 of the Santa Clara County Official Records (the "Declaration of Easement"). The Declaration of Easement, among other things, granted the owner of Parcel 1 the exclusive right to use 37 parking spaces on Parcel 2 ("Easement G"), and granted the owner of Parcel 2 the exclusive right to use 14 parking spaces on Parcel 1 ("Easement 1 H") (collectively, the "Parking Easements"). The Parking Easements are shown on Exhibit C to the Declaration of Easement (the "Parking Easement Map"). The Parking Easements were to continue until twenty-four (24) months after Kaiser or another medical user had the legal right to occupy the building on Parcel 1. E. Prudential has discovered that the granting language of Sections 1(b) and 1(c) of the Declaration of Easement conflicts with, and is the reverse of, the designation of the Parking Easements on the Parking Easement Map. That is, the designation "Easement G" on the Parking Easement Map should be "Easement H", and the designation "Easement H" on the Parking Easement Map should be "Easement G" in order to conform to those references in Sections 1(b) and 1(c) of the Declaration of Easement. F. Prudential and Adaptec now desire to amend the Declaration of Easement to replace Easement G and Easement H and grant new parking easements in their stead, provide for the encroachment of parking stalls and related curbing on certain easements created by the Declaration of Easement, and create new easements for the benefit of Parcel 2. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the parties' mutual agreement to be bound hereby, it is agreed as follows: 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings provided in the Declaration of Easement unless otherwise stated. 2. Substitution of Parking Easement Map. Exhibit C to the Declaration of Easement, the Parking Easement Map, is hereby held for naught and shall be of no further force or effect, and the parking easement map attached hereto as Exhibit C is hereby substituted in lieu therefor. Henceforth, all references in the Declaration of Easement to "Exhibit C" or to the "Parking Easement Map" shall be deemed to mean and refer to the parking easement map attached hereto as Exhibit C. 3. Grant of Encroachment Easement Over Easement "A". Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(b) of the Declaration of Easement to the contrary, Prudential hereby grants to Adaptec, its successors and assigns with respect to Parcel 2, for the benefit of Parcel 2, a perpetual, non-exclusive easement over a portion of Easement "A" for the encroachment of approximately 945 square feet of parking area (the "Encroachment Easement Over Easement "A"). The portion of Easement "A" burdened by the Encroachment Easement Over Easement "A" is shown on Exhibit D and legally described in Exhibit E, attached hereto and hereby incorporated herein. Prudential hereby accepts such encroachment 2 as it affects Easement "A"; provided, however, that the acceptance by Prudential of such encroachment shall not constitute a waiver of the rights of Prudential with respect to Easement "A", and Prudential, its successors and assigns with respect to Parcel 1, shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Easement "A" as it benefits Parcel 1. The Encroachment Easement Over Easement "A" shall run with the land and bind the owner and all future owners of Easement "A" and benefit the owner and all future owners of Parcel 2. 4. Grant of Encroachment Easements Over Easement "B". Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(b) of the Declaration of Easement to the contrary, Adaptec hereby grants to Prudential, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of Parcel 1, a perpetual, non-exclusive easement over a portion of Easement "B" for the encroachment of approximately 662 square feet of parking area (the "Encroachment Easement No. 1 Over Easement "B"), and a perpetual, non-exclusive easement over a portion of Easement "B" for the encroachment of curbing at the southeast corner of Parcel 1 (the "Encroachment Easement No. 2 Over Easement "B"). The portion of Easement "B" burdened by the Encroachment Easement No. 1 Over Easement "B" is shown on Exhibit D and legally described in Exhibit F, attached hereto and hereby incorporated herein. The portion of Easement "B" burdened by the Encroachment Easement No. 2 Over Easement "B" is shown on Exhibit D. Adaptec hereby accepts such encroachments as they affect Easement "B"; provided, however, that neither the acceptance by Adaptec of such encroachments shall constitute a waiver of the rights of Adaptec with respect to Easement "B", and Adaptec, its successors and assigns with respect to Parcel 2 shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Easement "B" as it benefits Parcel 2. The Encroachment Easements Nos. 1 and 2 Over Easement "B" shall run with the land and bind the owner and all future owners of Easement "B" and benefit the owner and all future owners of Parcel 1. 5. Grant of Parking Encroachment Easements.

The portion of Parcel 2 burdened by the Additional Parcel 2 Parking Encroachment Easement is shown on Exhibit G and legally described in Exhibit I, attached hereto and hereby incorporated herein (the "Additional Parcel 2 Parking Encroachment Easement Area"). Adaptec reserves to itself, and its successors and assigns with respect to Parcel 2, for the benefit of Parcel 2, the right to use the Additional Parcel 2 Parking Encroachment Easement Area for any purpose that does not interfere with Prudential's right to maintain and exclusively use a parking stall within the Additional Parcel 2 Parking Encroachment Easement Area. (c) The Parcel 2 Parking Encroachment Easement shall run with the land and bind the owner and all future owners of Parcel 2 and benefit the owner and all future owners of Parcel 1.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if before the expiration of such twenty-four (24) month period, any other entity which provides medical services by doctors, nurses, pharmacists, opticians, or other medical personnel to individuals (a "Medical User") obtains the right to 6 occupy at least 36,000 square feet of the building located on Parcel 1 for a Medical Use pursuant to a leasehold or fee interest, then Easement "G" and Easement "H" shall continue in full force and effect until the date which is twenty-four (24) months after such Medical User ceases to have the right to occupy at least 36,000 square feet of the building located on Parcel 1 pursuant to a leasehold or fee interest.

Adaptec owns that certain complex consisting of multiple buildings, together with related driveways, parking areas, and related fixtures and improvements located at 463/471, 461, 691, and 801 South Milpitas Blvd., 628/638/658 and 698 Gibraltar Court, and 500 Yosemite Drive, Milpitas California (the "Complex"). The Complex consists of seven (7) buildings designated on Exhibit A hereto. B. Adaptec, as Sublessor, and PCTEL, as Sublessee, are parties to that certain Sublease Agreement dated November 5th, 2002 (the "Sublease") with respect to certain Premises located in Building 8 at 631 South Milpitas Boulevard, Milpitas, California. C. The Complex includes certain amenities for Adaptec's employees including a cafeteria (the "Cafeteria") located between Buildings 4 and 7 and a fitness center located in Building 6, both designated on Exhibit B, attached hereto. D. PCTEL desires to obtain from Adaptec, and Adaptec desires to grant to PCTEL and its employees (including independent contractors) a license to use the Cafeteria. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Adaptec and PCTEL hereby agree as follows: 1. License. Adaptec grants to PCTEL a non-exclusive, revocable license (the "License") to use the Cafeteria. Such use of the Cafeteria shall be on a first-come, first-served basis, and PCTEL and its employees shall have no priority or preference in the use of the Cafeteria. Use of the Cafeteria shall be subject to payment by PCTEL's employees of the applicable charges for the food and other items purchased therein. Adaptec makes no representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever regarding the Cafeteria or the Complex, and Adaptec shall incur no loss, cost, liability or damage in connection with PCTEL's use of the Cafeteria. 2. Term. The term of the License shall commence as of the date by which the "Premises" under the Sublease are delivered to PCTEL pursuant to the Sublease and shall automatically expire and terminate concurrently with the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease or earlier vacation of the Premises under the Sublease by PCTEL. This License may be revocable in whole or in part by Adaptec at any time and for any reason or for no reason whatsoever. In addition, the License shall be revocable in whole or in part by Adaptec effective ten (10) days after Adaptec's giving notice to PCTEL that PCTEL or its employees have failed to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement. Adaptec may also prohibit any PCTEL employee from using the Cafeteria if such employee violates any term or condition set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement. 3. PCTEL Covenants. PCTEL shall, and shall cause its employees to, (i) operate under the License in a clean, safe and sanitary manner and shall not damage any property in the Cafeteria or commit, permit or suffer to exist any waste or nuisance at the Complex, (ii) minimize any interference with Adaptec's and other parties' use of the Cafeteria, (iii) permit only PCTEL and its authorized employees (including independent contractors) to use the Cafeteria, (iv) enter the Cafeteria only through the S. Milpitas Boulevard entrance, and (v) comply with the rules and regulations now or hereafter established by Adaptec from time to time regarding the use of the Cafeteria. PCTEL's rights under this License are conditioned on (a) the execution by PCTEL and its employees of agreements that release Adaptec and its employees, agents and other representatives from all loss or damage to the employees' property and bodily injury or death, including, without limitation, the agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C, (b) the compliance by PCTEL's employees with building security and Cafeteria use rules and policies established by Adaptec from time to time, (c) the use of the Cafeteria by PCTEL and its employees only during certain designated hours, (d) PCTEL maintaining the insurance set forth in 1 Paragraph 4 below, and (e) such other matters as Adaptec reasonably may determine. PCTEL and its employees shall not enter any areas in Buildings 4 or 7 outside of the Cafeteria. 4. Insurance. PCTEL shall maintain a policy of commercial general liability insurance satisfying the requirements of Article 10 of the Sublease against any and all claims for personal injury, death, property damage, or other liabilities related to the License or PCTEL's or its employees' use of the Cafeteria. Certificates evidencing such insurance shall be furnished to Adaptec in accordance with Article 10 of the Sublease. All of the provisions of Article 10 of the Sublease, including, without limitation, all of the covenants and requirements contained therein, shall apply to the insurance hereunder. 5. Release and Indemnity. PCTEL and its employees shall use the Cafeteria under the License at PCTEL's and its employees' sole and entire risk, and PCTEL shall be solely responsible for the health and safety of all employees of PCTEL that use the Cafeteria. Accordingly, PCTEL hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Adaptec and Adaptec's directors, partners, members, shareholders, officers and employees (collectively, the "Adaptec Parties"), from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, liabilities and damages arising from or relating in any manner to the License or PCTEL's or its employees' use of the Cafeteria. The foregoing release shall not apply for the benefit of an employee to the extent of such employee's gross negligence or willful misconduct, but shall in all events apply with respect to all other Adaptec Parties without regard to the negligence or willful misconduct of any Adaptec employee. In addition, PCTEL shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Adaptec) and hold harmless Adaptec and all other Adaptec Parties from and against all losses, costs, claims, liabilities and damages (including attorneys' fees and expenses) arising from or relating in any manner to the License or PCTEL's or its employees' use of the Cafeteria, except to the extent of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Adaptec Party. PCTEL acknowledges and intends that all released and indemnified parties shall be third party beneficiaries to PCTEL 's covenants under this paragraph and that all such parties shall have the right to enforce such covenants as provided herein. 6. Assignment. The License is personal to PCTEL and may not be assigned, nor may any right or interest of PCTEL under this Agreement be assigned, whether voluntarily or by operation of law. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to benefit of the parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Adaptec agrees to reasonably cooperate with any assignee or sublessee of PCTEL (pursuant to the terms of Article 15 of the Sublease) and to enter into a Cafeteria License Agreement with such party subject to terms substantially similar to those contained herein. 7. Miscellaneous. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Adaptec and PCTEL regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior representations, warranties, covenants and agreements relating thereto. This Agreement may not be modified, nor may any provision hereof be waived, orally, but only by a writing duly executed by Adaptec and PCTEL. If either party brings any action or legal proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.

PCTEL shall, at any time and from time to time, execute such additional documents (including, without limitation, estoppel certificates and waivers for the benefit of the Adaptec Parties) and take such additional actions as any Adaptec Party may reasonably require to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. The validity, construction, performance, effect and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California. The language and all parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against either Adaptec or PCTEL.

Sublessor hereby subleases to Sublessee and Sublessee hereby subleases from Sublessor for the Sublease Term (hereinafter defined), at the Rent (hereinafter defined) and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Sublease Premises, and all common areas related thereto. Sublessee acknowledges that the leasable area of the Sublease Premises as specified in Article 1 is an estimate and that Sublessor does not warrant the exact leasable area of the Sublease Premises. By taking possession of the Sublease Premises, Sublessee accepts the leasable area of the Sublease Premises as that specified in Article 1. 2.2 CONDITION OF THE SUBLEASE PREMISES. Sublessor shall deliver the Sublease Premises to Sublessee (a) with all carpets, walls and ceilings in good repair, (b) in broom-clean condition, and (c) with the roof, electrical, HVAC, plumbing and other building systems (collectively, the "BUILDING SYSTEMS") in good repair; and Sublessee thereupon shall accept possession of the Sublease Premises in its "As Is" condition. If during the Sublease Term the Building Systems are found not to be in good repair, then, to the extent repairs of such Building Systems are the responsibility of Sublessor under the terms of the Master Lease and are not otherwise necessitated by the act, neglect or fault of Sublessee, or its agents, employees, invitees, visitors or contractors, Sublessor shall cause the same to be corrected at its own expense promptly after receiving written notice from Sublessee to do so. 2.3 IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SUBLEASE PREMISES. 2.3.1 CONSTRUCTION OF SUBLESSEE IMPROVEMENTS. Sublessor agrees to complete certain interior improvements to the Sublease Premises (collectively, the "SUBLESSEE IMPROVEMENTS"), which are more particularly described and depicted on EXHIBIT B attached hereto (the "SUBLESSEE IMPROVEMENT PLAN"). Sublessor shall have no 3 obligation to make any improvement or alteration to the Sublease Premises except as specifically and expressly agreed to in writing by Sublessor, and all other improvements or alterations required by Sublessee for Sublessee's use and occupancy of the Premises shall be Sublessee's sole responsibility at Sublessee's sole cost, in accordance with Article 2.6 and other applicable provisions of this Sublease and the Master Lease. Sublessor shall complete the Sublessee Improvements in compliance with the terms of the Master Lease, in a good workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all laws, rules, regulations, permit requirements, codes and ordinances. To the extent that the costs for the Sublessee Improvements exceed One Hundred Thirty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Sixty Four Dollars ($137,564.00), Sublessee shall be responsible for such excess costs, which shall be payable by Sublessee to Sublessor as Additional Rent within ten (10) days following submission to Sublessee of an invoice. 2.3.2 CHANGE ORDER PROCESS. No material changes, modifications or alterations to the Sublessee Improvement Plan shall be made by either party without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All requests for change orders shall be made and agreed to in writing, and shall specify the added (or reduced) costs and time required for completion. All approved changes shall be made in the form of a change order ("CHANGE ORDER") setting forth the increased costs, if any, caused by the change and specifying any anticipated delay relating to that Change Order, if any. Any delay as a result of a Change Order requested by Sublessee shall not delay the date of Substantial Completion (as defined below), i.e., in case of any such delay the date of Substantial Completion shall be the date that the Sublessee Improvements would have been completed in accordance with the original Sublessee Improvement Plan without regard to the delay caused by such Change Order. Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor for any increased costs within ten (10) days of Sublessee's receipt of the invoice from Sublessor for those increased costs. 2.3.3 COMPLETION OF SUBLESSEE IMPROVEMENTS. Sublessor shall notify Sublessee in writing when the Sublessee Improvements are Substantially Completed. "SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION" as used in this Sublease shall mean the date that the Sublessee Improvements have been completed in accordance with all material aspects of the Sublessee Improvement Plan, except that in the case of any delay resulting from (i) a Change Order requested by Sublessee or (ii) interference with the construction work caused by Sublessee or its contractors, the date of Substantial Completion shall be the date that the Sublessee Improvements would have been completed but for such delay. In any event, Substantial Completion shall be deemed to have occurred notwithstanding Sublessor's obligation to complete any "punch list" items (described below) that do not materially diminish the usefulness of the Sublease Premises for the Permitted Use (as described in Article 1). If Sublessee disagrees with Sublessor's determination of the date of Substantial Completion, the parties shall meet and confer in good faith to try to resolve their differences. Within five (5) business days after Sublessor notifies Sublessee that the Sublessee Improvements are Substantially Complete, Sublessee and Sublessor shall perform a walk-through of the Sublease Premises and within ten (10) days following the date of such walk-through Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor a statement describing all non-latent defects, errors and/or omissions observed in the Sublessee Improvements (the "PUNCH LIST"). The Punch List shall constitute the conclusive determination by Sublessee of the existence of any non-latent defects, errors and/or omissions within the Sublease Premises, and Sublessee's failure to sign and deliver such Punch List to Sublessor within said ten (10) day period shall constitute a conclusive determination by Sublessee that no such defects, errors or omissions exist. Upon receipt of the Punch List, Sublessor shall date and sign a copy of it as to items Sublessor agrees are appropriately listed, and shall return the signed copy to Sublessee. Sublessor shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Punch List, correct the agreed-upon items. If Sublessee disagrees with Sublessor's determination of the appropriate Punch List items, the parties shall meet and confer in good faith to try to resolve their differences. 2.4 PERSONAL PROPERTY. Except as provided in Articles 19 and 20, Sublessee acknowledges that the Sublease Premises shall not include any of the fixtures, equipment, cabling, furniture, or other personal property belonging to 4 Sublessor, unless the parties have specifically agreed to the same in writing. 2.5 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. 2.5.1 SUBLESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Sublessor represents and warrants that to Sublessor's Knowledge (as defined in Article 25.5 below), the Sublease Premises as they exist on the date of this Sublease do not violate any ordinance, rule, code, or regulation of any governmental agency, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title 24 requirements ("ADA") and Sublessor has not received any notice of such violation. Sublessor agrees to cure (or cause to be cured) such violations existing as of the date of this Sublease (to the extent such cure is the responsibility of Sublessor under the terms of the Master Lease) or to request Master Lessor to cure such violations (if applicable) that interfere with Sublessee's ability to use and occupy the Sublease Premises for the Permitted Use. 2.5.2 SUBLESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS. Sublessee shall, at Sublessee's sole cost and expense, be responsible for bringing the Sublease Premises into compliance with any statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances (whether presently existing or hereinafter enacted), or insurance regulations, including but not limited to compliance with ADA requirements (collectively, "APPLICABLE LAWS") to the extent that compliance with such Applicable Laws is "triggered" by (i) Sublessee's specific and unique use or occupancy of the Sublease Premises; or (ii) construction work in, or alterations to, the Sublease Premises (other than the Sublessee Improvements), or (iii) Sublessee's application for a building permit or any other governmental approval (other than for the Sublessee Improvements). 2.6 ALTERATIONS TO PREMISES. Sublessee shall not make any alterations, additions, or improvements (collectively, "Alterations") to the Sublease Premises without the prior written consent of Sublessor, unless (i) the Alteration does not affect the Building structure, the exterior appearance of the Building, or the Building Systems, (ii) such Alteration does not require a building permit, (iii) the costs of the Alteration do not exceed Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000), and (iv) Sublessee complies with the other requirements of Section 9(b) of the Master Lease relative to such Alteration. ARTICLE 3: TERMS OF THE MASTER LEASE. 3.1 SUBLEASE SUBORDINATE. This Sublease is subordinate and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease. 3.1.1 If the Master Lease terminates for any reason whatsoever, this Sublease shall terminate concurrently, and the parties hereto shall be relieved of any liability thereafter accruing under this Sublease, except for the liabilities of the parties which by the terms of this Sublease survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee agrees that in the event that Sublessor shall default in its obligations under the Master Lease, then Master Lessor, at its option and without being obligated to do so, may require Sublessee to attorn to Master Lessor, provided that as a condition to such attornment, Master Lessor shall agree to undertake the obligations of Sublessor under this Sublease from the time of the exercise of said option to termination of this Sublease. 3.1.2 Sublessor covenants that during the Sublease Term, it shall not assign or attempt to assign its interests and obligations under either the Master Lease or this Sublease, without notifying Sublessee at least five (5) days in advance of such action (unless such advance notice is precluded by applicable securities or other laws, in which event notice will be given within five (5) days after it is lawfully permitted). 3.1.3 Sublessor covenants that during the Sublease Term, it shall not make or agree to any amendments or modifications to the Master Lease, without first obtaining Sublessee's written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. 3.1.4 Upon execution of this Sublease, Sublessor will send Master Lessor a letter requesting (a) that Master Lessor 5 send to Sublessee any notice of default by Sublessor under the Master Lease, at the same time Master Lessor sends such notice to Sublessor; and (b) that Master Lessor permit Sublessee the opportunity to cure or cause to be cured any such default in the same manner as Sublessor would be permitted to do so under the Master Lease, prior to Master Lessor's exercising any of its remedies under the Master Lease. However, acceptance by Master Lessor of the requests in such letter shall not be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Sublease or affect any of the parties' respective rights and remedies as more specifically set forth herein. 3.1.5 Sublessor hereby certifies to Sublessee that to the best of Sublessor's Knowledge (as defined in Section 25.5 below), the following statements are true: (a) The Master Lease attached as Exhibit A hereto constitutes the entire agreement between Master Lessor and Sublessor, and there are no amendments, supplements or modifications thereto or thereof or any other agreements between Master Lessor and Sublessor with respect to the Sublease Premises which otherwise amend, modify, rescind, revoke or change in any manner whatsoever the Master Lease; (b) The Master Lease is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, Sublessor is not in default under any of the terms of the Master Lease, and there exists no event which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default under the Master Lease; (c) Except for Sublessor, there are no parties in possession or occupancy of the Sublease Premises or any part thereof, nor are there any parties who have any possessory rights with respect to the Sublease Premises or any part thereof; and (d) There is no existing or pending or threatened condemnation of any part of the Sublease Premises. 3.2 SUBLESSEE'S OBLIGATIONS. To the extent applicable to the Sublease Premises and Sublessee's use of the common areas, Sublessee hereby expressly assumes and agrees to perform and discharge, as and when required by the Master Lease, all debts, duties and obligations to be paid, performed or discharged by Sublessor under the terms, covenants and conditions of the Master Lease from and after the Commencement Date, except as specifically set forth in this Sublease. Sublessee shall not commit or suffer at any time any act or omission that would violate any provision of the Master Lease. 3.3 SUBLESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublessor shall keep and maintain the Sublease Premises (including appurtenances) to the extent required of the "TENANT" by Section 10 of the Master Lease. The fee for such service shall be paid by Sublessee in compliance with the terms of Article 5 of this Sublease; provided, however, if a required repair is the result of the act, neglect or fault of Sublessee or Sublessee's agents, employees, contractors or invitees, then Sublessee shall be liable for the entire cost of such repair. Sublessee shall permit Sublessor and its agents and contractors to enter the Sublease Premises at all reasonable times upon reasonable notice to make necessary improvements or repairs required under this Sublease. Sublessor shall have no obligation to perform under this paragraph until a reasonable time after receipt of notice from Sublessee of such need, which notice shall be provided by calling Sublessor's Maintenance Service Line at (408) 957-7110, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) between the hours of 8:00AM-12:00PM and 1:00PM-5:00 PM, with emergency response available 24 hours a day via communication through the on-site security personnel. Required labor and materials shall be consistent with those provided to Sublessor's employees in response to a maintenance request. In no event shall any payments owed by Sublessee under this Sublease be abated on account of Sublessor's failure to make repairs under this Paragraph. Sublessee hereby waives all statutory rights to make repairs for or at the expense of Sublessor. So long as Sublessee complies with all of its obligations under this Sublease and cures any failure to comply within the applicable cure periods, Sublessor shall not commit any act or omission during the Sublease Term that would lead to the termination of the Master Lease by Master Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sublessee fails to 6 comply with any of its obligations under this Sublease (including without limitation the obligations assumed by Sublessee under the Master Lease), and does not cure such failure within the applicable cure period (or if no cure period is specified in either this Sublease or the Master Lease, then within five (5) days after receiving written notice of such failure), then Sublessor shall have no obligation to Sublessee to maintain the Master Lease for Sublessee's benefit. 3.4 MASTER LESSOR'S OBLIGATIONS. Sublessor shall not be responsible to Sublessee for furnishing any service, maintenance or repairs to the Sublease Premises that are the obligation of the Master Lessor under the Master Lease, it being understood that Sublessee shall look solely to Master Lessor for performance of any such service, maintenance or repairs. However, if Master Lessor shall fail to perform its obligations under the Master Lease, Sublessor, upon receipt of written notice from Sublessee, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to enforce the obligations of Master Lessor under the Master Lease; provided, however, that Sublessor shall not be required to incur any costs or expenses in connection therewith unless Sublessee agrees to reimburse Sublessor for any such costs and expenses as Additional Rent hereunder. 3.5 SUBLESSOR'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. In addition to all the rights and remedies provided to Sublessor at law, in equity, or under the terms of this Sublease, (a) in the event of any breach by Sublessee of any of its obligations under this Sublease, Sublessor shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to such breach which are available to Master Lessor in the event of any breach under the Master Lease; and (b) as a further remedy, if Sublessee fails to perform any act on its part to be performed pursuant to the requirements of the Master Lease or as otherwise required by this Sublease, within any applicable grace periods provided herein, then Sublessor may, but shall not be obligated to, fulfill such obligations of Sublessee, including entering the Sublease Premises to perform any such act, and all costs and expenses incurred by Sublessor in doing so shall be deemed Additional Rent payable by Sublessee to Sublessor upon demand. 3.6 SUBLESSEE'S RIGHT TO CURE. If Master Lessor notifies Sublessor of any default by Sublessor under the Master Lease, Sublessor shall deliver a copy of such notice to Sublessee within 24 hours' after Sublessor's receipt thereof, as required by Section 11.2. At the time of delivery of such notice, Sublessor shall advise Sublessee in writing as to whether Sublessor plans to cure such default, or whether Sublessor disputes such default. 3.6.1 If Sublessor does not dispute such default, then Sublessor shall promptly cure the default and provide proof of such cure to Sublessee at least two (2) business days prior to the expiration of the applicable cure period in the Master Lease. If Sublessor fails to cure such default within such time period, then subject to Master Lessor's agreement (if so required under the Master Lease), Sublessee shall have the right and opportunity to cure such default in place of Sublessor. 3.6.2 If Sublessor disputes such default, then Sublessee shall not have the right to cure the default unless Master Lessor shall have provided a statutory notice to cure the default or "quit" in which event Sublessee shall have the right to make any payments or otherwise cure the default to the extent necessary to avoid a forfeiture of the Master Lease. 3.6.3 In the event that Sublessee cures such default by Sublessor in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and Sublessee is not then in default under this Sublease (after the expiration of any applicable cure periods), then Sublessee shall have the right to offset the amount paid to cure such default and other related costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any amounts owed by Sublessee under this Sublease. ARTICLE 4: SUBLEASE TERM. 4.1 COMMENCEMENT AND TERMINATION DATES. The term of this Sublease ("SUBLEASE TERM") shall be for the period of time commencing on the commencement date described in Article 1 (the "COMMENCEMENT DATE") and ending on the termination date described in Article 1 or on such earlier date of termination as provided herein (the "TERMINATION DATE"). Within 10 days following the Commencement Date, Sublessor shall prepare, sign and deliver 7 to Sublessee a certificate substantially in the form of EXHIBIT C, and within 10 days following the receipt thereof Sublessee will execute and deliver it to Sublessor. If Sublessee disagrees with any of Sublessor's statements in such certificate, the parties shall meet and confer in good faith to try to resolve their differences. 4.2 DELAY IN COMMENCEMENT. If for any reason possession of the Sublease Premises has not been delivered to Sublessee by January 1, 2003, or any other date, Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee or any other person or entity for any loss or damage resulting therefrom. However, if the Sublessee Improvements have not been Substantially Completed by February 1, 2003, due to no fault of Sublessee, then the Commencement Date and the Rental Commencement Date shall be delayed by one day for each day of such delay, but the Termination Date shall not be extended. Further, if Sublessor is unable to deliver possession of the Sublease Premises to Sublessee by February 21, 2003, then Sublessee may terminate this Sublease by giving written notice to Sublessor within ten (10) days after that date, and the parties shall have no further liability thereafter accruing under this Sublease. 4.3 EARLY OCCUPANCY. Sublessor shall permit Sublessee to occupy the Sublease Premises following the Commencement Date in order to fit up the Sublease Premises for Sublessee's use subject to the following conditions: (i) Sublessee's fit up work shall not interfere with or hinder Sublessor's completion of the Sublessee Improvements; (ii) such occupancy shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Sublease (including, without limitation, Articles 10 and 14) and the Master Lease, including the payment of Operating Expenses as required under Article 5.3(1), but excluding the payment of Minimum Monthly Rent and other Additional Rent items. Early occupancy of the Sublease Premises shall not advance the Termination Date. Sublessee shall, prior to entering the Sublease Premises, deliver to Sublessor certificates of insurance evidencing the policies required of Sublessee under this Sublease. 4.4 ONE-TIME RIGHT TO TERMINATE. Sublessor grants Sublessee a one-time right to terminate the Sublease ("TERMINATION RIGHT"), which termination, if exercised, shall be effective as of the first day of the thirty-seventh (37th) month of the Sublease Term. Sublessee shall exercise the Termination Right, if at all, by giving Sublessor six months prior written notice (i.e., no later than the first day of the 31st month of the Sublease Term), with a concurrent payment of three (3) months Minimum Monthly Rent based on the amount due for the 37th month of the Sublease Term (i.e., a total of $62,348.40) and the unamortized cost of the Sublessee Improvements and the Brokerage Commission as of the date of such notice. Sublessor shall designate the amount of the unamortized cost of the Sublessee Improvements and the Brokerage Commission in EXHIBIT C. All contracts and rights with respect to Sublessor provided services shall terminate as of the effective termination date at no additional cost to Sublessee. ARTICLE 5: RENT AND ADDITIONAL EXPENSES. 5.1 PAYMENT OF RENT. All monies payable by Sublessee under this Sublease shall constitute "RENT." All Rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States, without any deduction, offset (unless otherwise expressly provided in this Sublease) or demand, to Sublessor at the address of Sublessor specified in Article 1 or such other place as Sublessor may designate in writing. No payment by Sublessee of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Sublessor may accept such check or payment without prejudice to its right to recover the balance of such Rent or to pursue any other remedy. Rent for any partial calendar months at the beginning or end of the Sublease Term or by early occupancy of the Sublease Premises shall be prorated based on a thirty (30) day month. In the event of nonpayment by Sublessee of any of the following items of "Rent," Sublessor shall have all the rights and remedies with respect thereto as Sublessor has for nonpayment of Minimum Monthly Rent. 5.2 MINIMUM MONTHLY RENT. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor the sum set forth in Article 1 hereof as Minimum Monthly Rent, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month throughout the Sublease Term, commencing on the Rental Commencement Date. 8 5.3 ADDITIONAL RENT. In addition to Minimum Monthly Rent, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month for the Sublease Term, the following sums (collectively, "ADDITIONAL RENT"): (1) Commencing on the Commencement Date, the sum set forth in Article 1.9 for Operating Expenses, which amount represents an estimate of the real property taxes, insurance, common area utilities, common area maintenance and repair, and other charges attributable to and/or accruing against the Sublease Premises under the Master Lease. (2) Commencing on the Rental Commencement Date, the sum set forth in Article 1.9 for Sublease Premises Maintenance and Repair, which services are described in Section 3.3 of this Sublease. (3) Commencing on the Rental Commencement Date, the sum set forth in Article 1.9 for Janitorial and Trash Removal, which services shall include janitorial service and trash removal five (5) days per week (excluding holidays) and all supplies pertaining to such services. (4) Commencing on the Rental Commencement Date, the sum set forth in Article 1.9 for Security System and Maintenance, which services shall include a cardkey system for the Sublease Premises, updates, all maintenance and badges; provided, however, in addition to such amount, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor $10 for each security badge issued or replaced. The Additional Rent items described in subparagraphs (1) through (4) above shall be fixed for the Sublease Term and pro-rated for any partial month based on a thirty (30) day month. 5.4 INFORMATION SERVICES. Commencing on the Rental Commencement Date, Sublessee shall pay Sublessor the sums required under the terms and conditions of the Information Services Agreement, as set forth in Article 20. 5.5 UTILITIES. Commencing on the earlier of (i) the date of commencement of the Fit Up Period or (ii) thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, Sublessee shall be responsible for the cost of all utilities serving the Sublease Premises, which payments shall be made directly to the providers of such services. For purposes of this Sublease, the term "FIT UP PERIOD" shall mean the period of time from the first date that Sublessee occupies the Sublease Premises until the Rent Commencement Date. 5.6 PREPAID RENT. Concurrently with Sublessee's execution and delivery of this Sublease to Sublessor, Sublessee shall deposit with Sublessor a check payable in the sum specified in Article 1 as Prepaid Rent, which shall be applied to the installments of Minimum Monthly Rent first coming due under this Sublease, or returned to Sublessee pursuant to Section 25.6 if this Sublease is terminated due to failure to obtain Master Lessor's consent to this Sublease. Sublessor shall have the right to negotiate such check upon Sublessor's execution and delivery of this Sublease to Sublessee. 5.7 MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, any and all non-recurring, special or other miscellaneous charges and expenses that Sublessor may incur under the Master Lease by reason of Sublessee's occupancy, defaults or activities (which charges and expenses are not covered by the other fees described above), such as late charges for late payment of rent, fines for violation of laws, work orders, repairs caused by Sublessee's negligence, and so forth. 5.8 LATE CHARGE. If Sublessee fails to pay any Rent within five (5) days after such payment becomes due hereunder, then Sublessee shall pay Sublessor a late charge equal to six percent (6%) of such delinquent amount as liquidated damages for Sublessee's failure to make timely payment; provided, however, that Sublessor shall waive such charge one time only during the First Lease Year. Any notice given by Sublessor pursuant to any statute governing unlawful detainer actions shall be deemed to be concurrent with, and not in addition to, the notice required herein. This provision for a late charge shall not be deemed to grant Sublessee a grace period or extension of time for performance. If any Rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of thirty (30) days then, in addition to such late charge, Sublessee 9 shall pay to Sublessor interest on the delinquent amount from the date such amount became due until paid, at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law. 5.9 LEGAL EXPENSES. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor, as part of Rent, all costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees and legal expenses), that may accrue in the event of Sublessee's failure to pay any of the items described above, and all damages, reasonable costs and expenses that Sublessor may incur by reason of default of Sublessee or failure on Sublessee's part to comply with the terms of this Sublease. ARTICLE 6: SECURITY DEPOSIT. [Intentionally Omitted.] ARTICLE 7: USE. 7.1 USE OF THE SUBLEASE PREMISES. Sublessee shall use the Sublease Premises solely for the purpose specified in Article 1 (the "PERMITTED USE") in strict conformance with the applicable requirements of the Master Lease, and for no other purpose whatsoever. 7.2 NO VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAWS. To Sublessor's Knowledge, the Permitted Use does not violate any Applicable Laws in effect as of the date hereof. 7.3 SUITABILITY. Sublessee acknowledges that, except as explicitly stated in this Sublease, neither Sublessor nor any agent of Sublessor has made any representation or warranty with respect to the Sublease Premises, the permitted uses that can be made of the Sublease Premises under existing laws, or the suitability of the Sublease Premises for the conduct of Sublessee's business, nor has Sublessor agreed to undertake any modification, alteration or improvement to the Sublease Premises. 7.3 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. 7.3.1 DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the term "HAZARDOUS MATERIAL" shall mean any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste which is or becomes regulated by any state, federal, or local government authority, including without limitation all of those materials and substances designated as hazardous or toxic by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Labor, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Health Services or the Food and Drug Agency. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term "HAZARDOUS MATERIAL" shall include (i) any substance, product, waste or other material of any nature whatsoever which may give rise to liability under any statutory or common law theory based on negligence, trespass, intentional tort, nuisance or strict liability or under any reported decisions of a state or federal court; (ii) gasoline, diesel fuel, or other petroleum hydrocarbons; (iii) polychlorinated biphenyls; (iv) asbestos containing materials; (v) urea formaldehyde foam insulation; and (vi) radon gas. As used herein, the term "HAZARDOUS MATERIAL LAW" shall mean any applicable statute, law, ordinance, or regulation of any governmental body or agency which regulates the use, storage, generation, discharge, treatment, transportation, release, or disposal of any Hazardous Material. 7.3.2 USE RESTRICTION. Except for small quantities of household cleaners and office supplies typically used in connection with professional offices, Sublessee shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be used, stored, generated, discharged, treated, transported to or from, released or disposed of in, on, over, through, or about the Sublease Premises, or any other land or improvements in the vicinity of the Sublease Premises, without the prior written consent of Master Lessor and Sublessor, which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Master Lessor and/or Sublessor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) any use, storage, generation, discharge, treatment, transportation, release, or disposal of Hazardous Material by Sublessee shall strictly comply with all applicable Hazardous Material Laws, and (b) if the presence of Hazardous Material on the Sublease Premises caused or permitted by Sublessee or its agents, employees, invitees, visitors or contractors results in contamination of the Sublease Premises or any soil, air, ground or surface waters under, through, over, on, in or about the Sublease Premises, Sublessee, at its expense, shall promptly take all actions necessary to return the Sublease Premises to the condition 10 existing prior to the existence of such Hazardous Material. 7.3.3 SUBLESSOR'S REPRESENTATION RELATING TO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Sublessor represents that to Sublessor's Knowledge as of the Commencement Date (i) the Sublease Premises are in compliance with Hazardous Materials Laws; (ii) the handling, transportation, storage, treatment, disposal, release and use of Hazardous Materials by Sublessor on or about the Sublease Premises (including soil, ground water or surface water thereof) prior to the Commencement Date, has been in compliance with all Hazardous Material Laws; and (iii) no action, proceeding or claim is pending or threatened regarding the Sublease Premises concerning any Hazardous Material or pursuant to any environmental law. Sublessor agrees to cure (or cause to be cured) any violations of Hazardous Materials Laws existing prior to the Commencement Date (to the extent such cure is the responsibility of Sublessor under the terms of the Master Lease) or to request Master Lessor to cure such violations (if applicable). 7.3.4 EXEMPTION OF SUBLESSEE. Sublessee shall not be responsible for the clean-up or remediation of, and shall not be required to indemnify Sublessor against, any claims, losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from any, Hazardous Materials existing at the Sublease Premises prior to the Commencement Date, except to the extent that Sublessee or Sublessee's agents, employees, invitees, visitors or contractors have (a) increased the severity of such contamination (other than by use of the Sublease Premises in accordance with the terms of this Sublease) or (b) contributed to such contamination, either by their conduct or by Sublessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Article 7. Any costs pertaining to the removal of Hazardous Materials placed on or about the Sublease Premises prior to the Commencement Date shall be excluded from Operating Costs that would otherwise be payable by Sublessee pursuant to Article 5. ARTICLE 8: SURRENDER. 8.1 CONDITION OF THE SUBLEASE PREMISES. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, Sublessee shall surrender the Sublease Premises broom clean and in good condition and repair, excepting only ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire, earthquake, act of God or the elements. Sublessee shall repair any damage to the Sublease Premises, or the building of which the Sublease Premises are a part, caused by or related to the removal of any articles of personal property, business or trade fixtures, machinery, equipment, cabinetwork, signs, furniture, movable partitions or permanent improvements or additions which Sublessor allows or requires Sublessee to remove, including, without limitation, repairing the floor and patching and/or painting the walls where required by Sublessor to the reasonable satisfaction of Sublessor and/or Master Lessor, all at Sublessee's sole cost and expense. Sublessee shall indemnify Sublessor against any loss or liability resulting from delay by Sublessee in so surrendering the Sublease Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by the Master Lessor and/or any succeeding tenant founded on such delay. Such indemnity obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. 8.2 SUBLESSOR'S RIGHT TO ACCESS. In the ten (10) days prior to the expiration of this Sublease, or such longer time as is reasonably necessary for Sublessor to fulfill its surrender obligations under the Master Lease, Sublessor shall have the right, upon at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice, to enter the Sublease Premises to remove personal property belonging to Sublessor, if any (including without limitation any business or trade fixtures, machinery, equipment, cabinetwork, signs, furniture, and movable partitions owned by Sublessor and located within the Sublease Premises) and to remove any improvements or additions, if any, that Sublessor is required to remove prior to surrender of the Premises pursuant to the Master Lease (not including those items to be removed by Sublessee pursuant to Article 8.1 of this Sublease). Any work performed by Sublessor pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence shall be done in a reasonable manner to minimize the amount of inconvenience and interference to Sublessee's use and occupancy of the Sublease Premises; provided, however, Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee for any such inconvenience or interference caused by Sublessor's exercise of its rights pursuant to this provision. ARTICLE 9: CONSENT. Whenever the consent or approval of Master Lessor is required pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease, for the purposes of this Sublease, Sublessee, in each such instance, shall be required to obtain the written consent or approval of both Master Lessor and Sublessor pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease. If Master Lessor 11 refuses to grant its consent or approval, Sublessor may withhold its consent or approval and Sublessee agrees that such action by Sublessor shall be deemed reasonable. ARTICLE 10: INSURANCE. All insurance policies required to be carried by Sublessor under the Master Lease shall be maintained by Sublessee pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease, and shall name Sublessor and Master Lessor (and such other lenders, persons, firms, or corporations as are designated by Sublessor or Master Lessor) as additional insureds by endorsement. All policies shall be written as primary policies with respect to the interests of Master Lessor and Sublessor and such other additional insureds and shall provide that any insurance carried by Master Lessor or Sublessor or such other additional insureds is excess and not contributing insurance with respect to the insurance required hereunder. All policies shall also contain "cross liability" or "severability of interest" provisions and shall insure the performance of the indemnity set forth in Article 14 of this Sublease. Sublessee shall provide Master Lessor and Sublessor with copies or certificates of all policies, including in each instance an endorsement providing that such insurance shall not be cancelled or amended except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Master Lessor and Sublessor. All deductibles, if any, under any such insurance policies shall be subject to the prior reasonable approval of Sublessor, and all certificates delivered to Master Lessor and Sublessor shall specify the limits of the policy and all deductibles thereunder.

Each party shall provide to the other party a copy of any notice or demand received from or delivered to Master Lessor within twenty four (24) hours of receiving or delivering such notice or demand. ARTICLE 12: DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION, CONDEMNATION. To the extent that the Master Lease gives Sublessor any rights following the occurrence of any damage, destruction or condemnation to terminate the Master Lease, to repair or restore the Sublease Premises, to contribute toward such repair or restoration costs to avoid termination, to obtain and utilize insurance or condemnation proceeds to repair or restore the Sublease Premises, or any similar rights, such rights shall be reserved to and exercisable solely by Sublessor, in its sole and absolute discretion, and not by Sublessee. The exercise of any such right by Sublessor shall under no circumstances constitute a default or breach under this Sublease or subject Sublessor to any liability therefor. ARTICLE 13: INSPECTION OF THE SUBLEASE PREMISES. Sublessee shall permit Sublessor and its agents to enter the Sublease Premises at any reasonable time for the purpose of inspecting the same or posting a notice of non-responsibility for Alterations or repairs, provided that Sublessor provides at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice (except in the case of emergency).

Sublessee, as a material part of the consideration to Sublessor, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Sublease Premises arising from any cause and Sublessee hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Sublessor, except in connection with damage or injury caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessor or its authorized agents; provided, however, that in no event shall Sublessor be liable for any loss of profits or any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, however caused and on any theory of liability. This waiver shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. 14.4 MUTUAL WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Each party (the "FIRST PARTY") hereby releases the other party (the "SECOND PARTY"), and its partners, officers, directors, agents, employees, and servants, from any and all claims, demands, loss, expense, or injury to the Sublease Premises or to the furnishings, fixtures, equipment, inventory, or other property in, about, or upon the Sublease Premises, which is caused by or results from perils, events, or happenings which are the subject of fire or other casualty insurance carried by the First Party at the time of such loss or which would have been in force had the First Party carried the insurance required hereunder or by the Master Lease (collectively, the "EFFECTIVE COVERAGE") irrespective of any negligence on the part of the Second Party that may have contributed to or caused such loss; subject to the following limitations: (i) the Second Party shall not be released from any liability to the extent that such damages are not covered by the insurance recovery under the Effective Coverage or are the result of willful acts by the Second Party, and (ii) the Second Party shall be responsible for reimbursing the First Party for any deductible owed as a result of such damages up to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, if needed, appropriate endorsements to its policies of insurance with respect to the foregoing releases; provided, however, that failure to obtain such endorsements shall not affect the releases hereinabove given. ARTICLE 15: ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Sublessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign this Sublease or enter into license or concession agreement, sublet all or any part of the Sublease Premises, or otherwise transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber all or any part of Sublessee's interest in this Sublease or in the 13 Sublease Premises or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Master Lessor (pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease) and Sublessor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any attempt to do so without such consent being first had and obtained shall be wholly void and shall constitute a default by Sublessee under this Sublease. Sublessee hereby irrevocably assigns to Sublessor all Rent and other sums or consideration in any form, from any subletting or assignment, and agrees that Sublessor, as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Sublessee, or a receiver for Sublessee appointed upon Sublessor's application, may collect such Rent and other sums and apply the same against amounts owing to Sublessor in the event of Sublessee's default; provided, however, that until the occurrence of any act of default by Sublessee or Sublessee's subtenant, Sublessee shall have the right to collect such sums, provided that all sums in excess of the Minimum Monthly Rent set forth herein which any subtenant covenants to pay shall belong solely and exclusively to Sublessor. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Sublessee shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder, and a consent to one assignment or subletting shall not constitute a consent to any other assignment or subletting or a waiver of the provisions of this section. ARTICLE 16: DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS. Sublessee shall execute and deliver any document or other instrument required by Master Lessor or Sublessor pursuant to the Master Lease within ten (10) days following receipt of a written request from Master Lessor or Sublessor. Failure to comply with this provision shall constitute a default by Sublessee under this Sublease. ARTICLE 17: HOLDING OVER. 17.1 WITHOUT CONSENT. Any holding over by Sublessee after the Termination Date, without the prior written consent of Master Lessor and Sublessor, shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this Sublease or give Sublessee any rights in or to the Sublease Premises. In the event of any such non-permissive holding over, Sublessor and Master Lessor may seek any and all remedies available to Sublessor and/or Master Lessor at law or in equity, and Sublessee shall pay Sublessor upon demand, (i) and amount equal to One Hundred Seventy-Five Percent (175%) of the most recent applicable Base Rent payable under the Master Lease, computed on a daily basis for each day of the holdover period, plus (ii) all other amounts due and payable under the Sublease, plus (iii) all other amounts that Sublessor may become liable for under the Master Lease, plus (iv) any and all other damages, costs, expenses, and fees incurred or suffered by Sublessor as a result of such holdover by Sublessee. 17.2 WITH CONSENT. Any holding over by Sublessee after the Termination Date, with the prior written consent of Master Lessor and Sublessor, shall be construed as a month-to-month tenancy on the same terms and conditions as specified in this Sublease, except that the Minimum Monthly Rent during such tenancy shall be increased to an amount equal to One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the most recent applicable Minimum Monthly Rent payable under the Master Lease. ARTICLE 18: OPTIONS. Any right of Sublessor to extend or renew the term of the Master Lease or to expand the Premises (if any), shall be reserved to and exercisable solely by Sublessor, in its sole discretion, and not by Sublessee. Sublessor agrees to exercise such rights to extend or renew the Master Lease only to the extent necessary to fulfill its obligations under this Sublease. Sublessee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to negotiate an extended term with the Master Lessor. ARTICLE 19: FURNITURE. For the Sublease Term and subject to the terms of Article 14, Sublessee shall be entitled to use the furniture currently located at the Sublease Premises, which is shown on the Final Furniture Plan attached as EXHIBIT D (the "FURNITURE"). In the event that Sublessee requires additional furniture, fixtures or equipment, Sublessee shall acquire such furniture, fixtures or equipment at its sole cost and expense. Sublessee agrees to take possession of the Furniture "AS IS", without relying on any representation or warranty by Sublessor as to the condition of the Furniture. Sublessee further acknowledges that neither Sublessor nor its agents have made any representations or warranties, express or implied, as to the suitability or fitness of the Furniture for the conduct of Sublessee's business or for any other purpose. Sublessee agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to 1) insure the Furniture (or provide Sublessor with evidence of adequate self-insurance); and, 2) maintain the Furniture in the same condition 14 and repair, allowing for reasonable wear and tear. In the event that the Furniture is damaged during the Sublease Term, Sublessor shall be under no obligation to service, maintain, repair or replace the damaged Furniture. Any installations, replacements, and substitutions of parts or accessories with respect to any of the Furniture shall be paid for by Sublessee and shall constitute accessions and shall become part of the Furniture and shall be the property of Sublessor. The Furniture shall remain at all times the property of Sublessor, and shall be used by Sublessee during the Sublease Term free of charge. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, Sublessee shall return the Furniture in the same configuration, condition and repair as the Furniture was delivered to Sublessee, excepting only ordinary wear and tear; provided, however, that the configuration may be changed if Sublessor agrees to such change in writing, in Sublessor's sole discretion. The Furniture will be delivered to Sublessee in the configuration shown on the Final Furniture Plan, except that if Sublessee notifies Sublessor of changes needed to such configuration prior to the commencement of Sublessee's reconfiguration by Sublessor's contractor, and such needed changes do not increase the estimated cost of such reconfiguration, Sublessor shall endeavor to incorporate the requested changes into the Final Furniture Plan which shall then be modified/confirmed with the Commencement Date Memorandum. ARTICLE 20: INFORMATION SERVICES. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Information Services Agreement (attached hereto as EXHIBIT E and incorporated herein by this reference), Sublessor shall provide to Sublessee telephone infrastructure and support.

ARTICLE 22: SIGNAGE. Subject to Section 21 of the Master Lease and to the prior approval of Sublessor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Master Lessor and all applicable governmental agencies, Sublessee shall have the right to place a sign on the building and the monument near the front entrance and on any directory signs for the complex of which the Sublease Premises is a part. ARTICLE 23: PARKING. Subject to the terms of the Master Lease and such reasonable rules and regulations that may be promulgated by Master Lessor and/or Sublessor from time to time, Sublessee shall have the non-exclusive right in common with other tenants and occupants to use, free of a monthly fee during the Sublease Term, fifty-four (54) parking spaces. ARTICLE 24: ARBITRATION. 24.1 PROCEDURE. If a dispute under this Sublease (other than a dispute relating to Sublessee's nonpayment of Rent) is in an amount less than Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) and is not resolved by the parties within any applicable grace period or time to cure provided in this Sublease, either party may give notice to the other of its desire to arbitrate the dispute, in which event the dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association in accord with its then-prevailing rules. The arbitration hearing shall be held in the County of Santa Clara, California. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrators shall have no power to change the Sublease provisions. Both parties shall continue performing their 15 Sublease obligations pending the award in the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrators shall award the prevailing party reasonable expenses and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, plus interest on the amount due at the Interest Rate. This agreement to arbitrate shall not apply to any action for unlawful detainer (eviction) that Sublessor may bring under applicable California law. 24.2 PAYMENT. The losing party shall pay to the prevailing party the amount of the final arbitration award. If payment is not made within ten (10) business days after the date of the arbitration award, then, in addition to any remedies under the law: (a) If Sublessor is the prevailing party, it shall have the same remedies as it has in the event of a breach under the Sublease; (b) If Sublessee is the prevailing party, it may deduct any remaining unpaid award from its monthly payment of Minimum Monthly Rent, Additional Rent, or other charges otherwise due Sublessor. ARTICLE 25: GENERAL PROVISIONS. 25.1 SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this Sublease shall, to any extent, be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Sublease shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Sublease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 25.2 ATTORNEYS' FEES; COSTS OF SUIT.

No covenant, term or condition or the breach thereof shall be deemed waived, except by written consent of the party against whom the waiver is claimed, and any waiver of the breach of any covenant, term or condition shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other covenant, term or condition or any subsequent failure to perform the same or any other such term, covenant or condition. Acceptance by Sublessor of any performance by Sublessee after the time the same shall have become due shall not constitute a waiver by Sublessor of the breach or default of any covenant, term or condition unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Sublessor in writing. 25.4 BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The parties represent and warrant to each other that they have dealt with no brokers, finders, agents or other person in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby to whom a brokerage or other commission or fee may be payable, except for the brokers named in Article 1, whose fees shall be paid pursuant to a separate agreement. Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from any claims arising from any breach by the indemnifying party of the representation and warranty set forth in this Article 25.4. Pursuant to separate written agreements, Sublessor shall be responsible for the payment of a commission to Sublessor's broker in connection with this Sublease, and Sublessor's broker shall be responsible for any commission or fee payable to Sublessee's broker.

Kraiss and/or Catherine Eckerman, or any other trustee, officer, director, agent, representative or employee of Sublessor. Neither Robert W. Kraiss nor Catherine Eckerman shall be charged with constructive or inquiry notice or knowledge, or imputed knowledge of any agents, contractors, or employees. 25.6 BINDING EFFECT. Preparation of this Sublease by Sublessor or Sublessor's agent and submission of the same to Sublessee shall not be deemed an offer to lease. This Sublease shall become binding upon Sublessor and Sublessee only when fully executed by Sublessor and Sublessee. Sublessor and Sublessee acknowledge and agree that this Sublease is expressly conditioned upon obtaining the consent of Master Lessor hereto following such full execution by Sublessor 16 and Sublessee. In the event such consent is not so obtained within thirty-one (31) days following the date of this Sublease, then this Sublease shall, upon written notice by either party to the other, terminate and be without further force or effect, and in such event Sublessor shall promptly return to Sublessee the advance rent and Security Deposit paid by Sublessee to Sublessor pursuant to Article 5.6 above. 25.7 ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
