ARTICLE 3
RENT, LATE CHARGES AND SECURITY DEPOSITS
3.1 BASE MONTHLY RENT: Commencing on the Lease Commencement Dated (as
determined pursuant Article 2.3 above) and continuing throughout the Lease Term,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without prior demand therefore, in advance on the
first day of each calendar month, as base monthly rent, the amount set forth as
"Base Monthly Rent" in Article 1 (the Base Monthly Rent").
4.
3.2 ADDITIONAL RENT: Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date (as
determined pursuant to Article 2.3 above) and continuing throughout the Lease
Term, in addition to the Base Monthly Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as
additional rent (the "Additional Rent") the following amounts:
A. Tenant's Proportionate Share of all Building Operating Expenses
(as defined in Article 13). Payment shall be made by whichever of the following
methods (or combination of methods) is (are) from time to time designated by
Landlord:
(1) Landlord may bill to Tenant, on a periodic basis not more
frequently than monthly, Tenant's Proportionate Share of such expenses (or group
of expenses) as paid or incurred by Landlord, and Tenant shall pay such share of
such expenses within ten days after receipt of a written bill therefore from
Landlord; and/or
(2) Landlord may deliver to Tenant Landlord's reasonable
estimate of any given expense (or group of expenses, such as Landlord's
Insurance Costs or Real Property Taxes) which it anticipates will be paid or
incurred for the ensuing calendar or fiscal year, as Landlord may determine, and
Tenant shall pay its Proportionate Share of such expenses for such year in equal
monthly installments during such year with the installments of Base Monthly
Rent. Landlord reserves the right to change from time to time the method of
billing Tenant its Proportionate Share of such expenses or the periodic basis on
which such expenses are billed.
B. Landlord's share of the consideration received by Tenant upon
certain assignments and sub-lettings as required by Article 7;
C. Any legal fees and costs that Tenant is obligated to pay or
reimburse to Landlord pursuant to Article 13; and
D. Any other charges or reimbursements due Landlord from Tenant
pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
3.3 YEAR END ADJUSTMENTS: If Landlord shall have elected to charge Tenant
its Proportionate Share of the Building Operating Expenses (or any group of such
expenses) on an estimated basis in accordance with the provisions of Article
3.2A(2) above, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant within three months following
the end of the applicable calendar or fiscal year, as the case may be, a
statement setting forth (i) the amount of such expenses paid or incurred during
the just ended calendar or fiscal year, as appropriate, and (ii) Tenant's
Proportionate Share of such expenses for such period. If Tenant shall have paid
more than its Proportionate Share of such expenses for the stated period,
Landlord shall, at its election, either (i) credit the amount of such
overpayment toward the next ensuing payment or payments of Additional Rent that
would otherwise be due or (ii) refund within fifteen days in cash to Tenant the
amount of such overpayment. If such year end statement shall show that Tenant
did not pay its Proportionate Share of any such expenses in full, then Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the amount of such underpayment within ten days from
Landlord's billing of same to Tenant. The provisions of this Article shall
survive the expiration or sooner termination or this Lease.
LATE CHARGE AND INTEREST ON RENT IN DEFAULT: Tenant acknowledges that the
late payment by Tenant of any monthly installment of Base Monthly Rent or any
Additional Rent will cause Landlord to incur certain costs and expenses not
contemplated under this Lease, the exact amounts of which are extremely
difficult or impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will include, without
limitation, administration and collection costs and processing and accounting
expenses. Therefore, if any installment of Base Monthly Rent is not received by
Landlord from Tenant within six business days after the same becomes due, Tenant
shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to the amount
set forth in Article 1 as the "Late Charge Amount," and if any Additional Rent
is not received by Landlord within six business days after same becomes due,
Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge in an amount equal to ten
percent of the Additional Rent not so paid. Landlord and Tenant agree that this
late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is
fair compensation to Landlord for its loss suffered by reason of Tenant's
failure to make timely payment. In no event shall this provision for a late
charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within
which to pay any rental installment or prevent Landlord from exercising any
right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant's failure to pay each rental
installment due under this Lease when due, including the right to terminate this
Lease. If any
5.
rent remains delinquent for a period in excess of six business days, the, in
addition to such late charge, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on any rent
that is not so paid from said sixth day (see attached) until paid.
3.4 PAYMENT OF RENT: All rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United
States, without any abatement, deduction or offset for any reason whatsoever
(see attached), to Landlord at such address as Landlord may designate from time
to time Tenant's obligation to pay Base Monthly Rent and all Additional Rent
shall be prorated at the commencement and expiration of the Lease Term. The
failure by Tenant to pay any Additional Rent as required pursuant to this Lease
when due shall be treated the same as a failure by Tenant to pay Base Monthly
Rent when due, and Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against
Tenant as Landlord would have if Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent when
due.
3.5 PREPAID RENT: Upon signing this Lease, Tenant shall immediately pay to
Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 as "First Month's Prepaid Rent" as
prepayment of rent for credit against file first installment(s) of Base Monthly
Rent due hereunder. Additionally,
SECURITY DEPOSIT: Upon signing this Lease, Tenant shall immediately deposit
with Landlord the amount set forth in Article 1 as the "Security Deposit" as
security for the performance by Tenant of the terms of this Lease to be
performed by Tenant, and not as prepayment of rent. Landlord may apply such
portion or portions of the Security Deposit as are reasonably necessary for the
following purposes: (i) to remedy any default by Tenant in the payment of Base
Monthly Rent or Additional Rent or a late charge or interest on defaulted rent;
(ii) to repair damage to the Leased Premises caused by Tenant; (iii) to clean
and repair the Leased Premises following their surrender to Landlord if not
surrendered in the condition required pursuant to the provisions of Article 2;
and (iv) to remedy any other default of Tenant to the extent permitted by Law
including, without limitation, paying in full on Tenant's behalf any sums
claimed by materialmen or contractors of Tenant to be owing to them by Tenant
for work done or improvements made at Tenant's request to the Leased Premises In
this regard, Tenant hereby waives any restriction on the uses to which the
Security Deposit may be applied as contained in Section 1950.7(c) of the
California Civil Code and/or any successor statute In the event the Security
Deposit or any portion thereof is so used, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
promptly upon demand, an amount in cash sufficient to restore the Security
Deposit to the full original sum. If Tenant fails to promptly restore the
Security Deposit and if Tenant shall have paid to Landlord any sums as "Last
Month's Prepaid Rent", Landlord may, in addition to any other remedy Landlord
may have under this Lease, reduce the amount of Tenant's Last Month's Prepaid
Rent by transferring all or portions of such Last Month's Prepaid Rent to
Tenant's Security Deposit until such Security Deposit is restored to the amount
set forth in Article 1. Landlord shall not be deemed a trustee of the Security
Deposit Landlord may use the Security Deposit in Landlord's ordinary business
and shall not be required to segregate it from its general accounts. Tenant
shall not be entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit (see attached). If
Landlord transfers the Building during the Lease Term, Landlord shall pay the
Security Deposit to any subsequent owner in conformity with the provisions of
Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and/or any successor statute in
which event the transferring landlord shall be released from all liability for
the return of the Security Deposit (see attached). Tenant specifically grants to
Landlord (and hereby waives the provision of California Civil Code Section
1950.7 to the contrary) a period of thirty days following a surrender of the
Leased Premises by Tenant to Landlord within which to return the Security
Deposit (less permitted deductions) to Tenant, it being agreed between Landlord
and Tenant that sixty days is a reasonable period of time within which to
inspect the Leased Premises, make required repairs, receive and verify workmen's
billings therefore, and prepare a final accounting with respect to such deposit.
In no event shall the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, be considered
prepaid rent.

rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of
such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, computed by
discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco at the time of award plus one percent; and
(2) Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all 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, the following: (i) expenses for
cleaning, repairing or restoring the Leased Premises; including removal of
existing leasehold improvements subject to Section 2.6 (iii) broker's fees,
advertising costs and other, expenses of reletting the Leased Premises; (iv)
costs of carrying the Leased Premises, which costs would have been billed to
Tenant as Additional Rent had Tenant not defaulted and which include, but are
not limited to; taxes, insurance premiums, landscape maintenance, HVAC
maintenance, utility charges and security precautions; (v) expenses incurred in
removing, disposing of and/or storing any of Tenant's personal property,
inventory or trade fixtures remaining therein; (vi) attorneys' fees, expert
witness fees, court costs and other reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord
(but not limited to taxable costs) in retaking possession of the Leased
Premises, establishing damages hereunder, and releasing the Leased Premises; and
(vii) any other expenses, costs or damages otherwise incurred or suffered as a
result of Tenant's default.
12.3 LANDLORD'S DEFAULT AND TENANT'S REMEDIES: In the event Landlord fails
to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall nevertheless
not be in default under the terms of this Lease until such time as Tenant shall
have first given Landlord written notice specifying the nature of such failure
to perform its obligations, and then only after Landlord shall have had a
reasonable period of time following its receipt of such notice within which to
perform such obligations. In the event of Landlord's default as above set forth,
then, and only then, Tenant shall have the following remedies only:
A. Tenant may then proceed in equity or at law to compel Landlord to
perform its obligations and/or to recover damages proximately caused by such
failure to perform.
B. Tenant, at its option, may then cure any default of Landlord at
Landlord's cost. If, pursuant to this Subarticle, Tenant reasonably pays any sum
to any third party or does any act that requires the payment of any sum to any
third party at any time by reason of Landlord's default, the sum paid by Tenant
shall be immediately due from Landlord to Tenant at the time Tenant supplies
Landlord with an invoice therefore (provided such invoice sets forth and is
accompanied by a written statement of Tenant setting forth in reasonable detail
the amount paid, the party to whom it was paid, the date it was paid, and the
reasons giving rise to such payment), together with interest at twelve percent
per annum from the date of such invoice until Tenant is reimbursed by Landlord.
Tenant may not offset such sums against any installment of rent due Landlord
under the terms of this Lease.
12.4 LIMITATION ON TENANT'S RECOURSE: If Landlord is a corporation, trust,
partnership, joint venture, unincorporated association, or other form of
business entity, Tenant agrees that (i) the obligations of Landlord under this
Lease shall not constitute personal obligations of the officers, directors,
trustees, partners, joint venturers, members, owners, stockholders, or other
principals of such business entity and (ii) Tenant shall have recourse only to
the assets of such business entity for the satisfaction of such obligations and
not against the assets of such officers, directors, trustees, partners, joint
venturers, members, owners, stockholders or principals (other than to the extent
of their interest in the assets owned by such business entity). Additionally, if
Landlord is a partnership, then Tenant covenants and agrees:
A. No partner of Landlord shall be sued or named as a party in any
suit or action brought by Tenant with respect to any alleged breach of this
Lease (except to the extent necessary to secure jurisdiction over the
partnership and then only for that sole purpose);
24.
B. No service of process shall be made against any partner of
Landlord except for the sole purpose of securing jurisdiction over the
partnership; and
C. No writ of execution shall be levied against the assets of any
partner of Landlord other than to the extent of his interest in the assets of
the partnership. Tenant further agrees that each of the foregoing covenants and
agreements shall be enforceable by Landlord and by any partner of Landlord and
shall be applicable to any actual or alleged non-disclosure made respecting this
Lease or the Leased Premises or any actual or alleged failure, default or breach
of any covenant or agreement either expressly or implicitly contained in this
Lease or imposed by statute or at common law.
12.5 TENANT'S WAIVER: Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of
Article 12.3 above are intended to supersede and replace the provisions of
California Civil Code 1932(1), 1941 and 1942, and accordingly, Tenant hereby
waives the provisions of Section 1932(1), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil
Code and/or any similar or successor Law regarding Tenant's right to terminate
this Lease or to make repairs and deduct the expenses of such repairs from the
rent due under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption or
relief from forfeiture under the Laws of the State of California, or under any
other present or future Law, in the event Tenant is evicted or Landlord takes
possession of the Leased Premises by reason of any default by Tenant.
ARTICLE 13
GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.1 TAXES ON TENANT'S PROPERTY: Tenant shall pay before delinquency any
and all taxes, assessments, license fees, use fees, permit fees and public
charges of whatever nature or description levied, assessed or imposed against
Tenant or Landlord by a governmental agency arising out of, caused by reason of
or based upon Tenant's estate in this Lease, Tenant's ownership of property;
improvements made by Tenant to the Leased Premises, improvements made by
Landlord for Tenant's use within the Leased Premises, Tenant's use (or estimated
use) of public facilities or services or Tenant's consumption (or estimated
consumption) of public utilities, energy, water or other resources. On demand by
Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with satisfactory evidence of these
payments. If any such taxes, assessments, fees or public charges are levied
against Landlord, Landlord's property, the Building or the Project, or if the
assessed value of the Building or the Project is increased by the inclusion
therein of a value placed upon same, then Landlord, after giving written notice
to Tenant, shall have the right, regardless of the validity thereof, to pay such
taxes, assessment, fee or public charge and bill Tenant, as Additional Rent, the
amount of such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so paid on Tenant's
behalf. Tenant shall, within ten days from the date it receives an invoice from
Landlord setting forth the amount of such taxes, assessment, fee or public
charge so levied, pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount set forth in
said invoice. Failure by Tenant to pay the amount so invoiced within said ten
day period shall be conclusively deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease.
Tenant shall have the right, and with Landlord's full cooperation if Tenant is
not then in default under the terms of this Lease, to bring suit in any court of
competent jurisdiction to recover from the taxing authority the amount of any
such taxes, assessment, fee or public charge so paid.
13.2 HOLDING OVER: This Lease shall terminate without further notice on the
Lease Expiration Date (as set forth in Article 1) (see attached). Any holding
over by Tenant after expiration of the Lease Term shall neither constitute a
renewal nor extension of this Lease nor give Tenant any rights in or to the
Leased Premises except as expressly provided in this Article. Any such holding
over shall be deemed an unlawful detainer of the Leased Premises unless Landlord
has consented to same. Any such holding over to which Landlord has consented
shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month, on the same terms and
conditions herein specified insofar as applicable, except that the Base Monthly
Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent of the
Base Monthly Rent payable during the last full month immediately preceding such
holding over.
13.3 SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES: This Lease is subject and subordinate to
all underlying ground leases and to all mortgages and deeds of trust which
affect the Building and are of public record as of the Effective Date of this
Lease, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and
extensions thereof. However, if the lessor under any such
25.
ground lease or any Lender holding any such mortgage or deed of trust shall
advise Landlord that it desires or requires this Lease to be made prior and
superior thereto, then, upon written request of Landlord to Tenant, Tenant shall
promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all documents or instruments
which Landlord and such lessor or Lender deem necessary or desirable to make
this Lease prior thereto. Tenant hereby consents to Landlord's ground leasing
the land underlying the Building and/or encumbering the Building as security for
future loans on such terms as Landlord shall desire, all of which future ground
leases, mortgages or deeds of trust shall be subject and subordinate to this
Lease. However, if any lessor under any such future ground lease or any Lender
holding such future mortgage or deed of trust shall desire or require that this
Lease be made subject and subordinate to such future ground lease, mortgage or
deed of trust, then Tenant agrees, within ten days after Landlord's written
request therefore, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all
documents or instruments requested by Landlord or such lessor or Lender as may
be necessary or proper to assure the subordination of this Lease to such future
ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust; but only if such lessor or Lender (see
attached) agrees to recognize Tenant's rights under this Lease and not to
disturb Tenant's quiet possession of the Leased Premises so long as Tenant is
not in default under this Lease.
13.4 TENANT'S ATTORNMENT UPON FORECLOSURE: Tenant shall, upon request,
attorn (i) to any purchaser of the Building at any foreclosure sale or private
sale conducted pursuant to any security instrument encumbering the Building,
(ii) to any grantee or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of
foreclosure of any security interest encumbering the Building, or (iii) to the
lessor under any underlying ground lease of the land underlying the Building,
should such ground lease be terminated; provided that such purchaser, grantee or
lessor recognizes Tenant's rights under this Lease.
13.5 MORTGAGEE PROTECTION: In the event of any default on the part of
Landlord, Tenant will give notice by registered mail to any Lender or lessor
under any underlying ground lease who shall have requested, in writing, to
Tenant that it be provided with such notice, and Tenant shall offer such Lender
or lessor a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain
possession of the Leased Premises by power of sale or judicial foreclosure or
other appropriate legal proceedings if reasonably necessary to effect a cure.
13.6 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES: Tenant will, following any request by Landlord,
promptly execute and modified, stating the nature of such modification and
certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or, if
modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this
Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect, (ii) stating the date to
which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (iii)
acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant s knowledge, any uncured defaults on
the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed,
and (iv) certifying such other information about this Lease as may be reasonably
requested by Landlord. Tenant's failure to execute and deliver such estoppel
certificate within ten days after Landlord's request therefore shall be a
material default by Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall have all of the
rights and remedies available to Landlord as Landlord would otherwise have in
the case of any other material default by Tenant, including the right to
terminate this Lease and sue for damages proximately caused thereby, it being
agreed and understood by Tenant that Tenant's failure to so deliver such
estoppel certificate in a timely manner could result in Landlord being unable to
perform committed obligations to other third parties which were made by Landlord
in reliance upon this covenant of Tenant. Landlord and Tenant intend that any
statement delivered pursuant to this Article may be relied upon by any Lender or
purchaser or prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the Project, or
any interest therein.
13.7 TENANT'S FINANCIAL INFORMATION: Tenant shall, within ten business days
after Landlord's request therefore, deliver to Landlord a copy of a current
financial statement, including an income statement and balance sheet, and any
such other information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding Tenant's
financial condition (see attached). Tenant acknowledges, that Landlord has and
will rely on the truth and accuracy of the information provided by Tenant to
Landlord both prior to and during the term of the Lease. Landlord shall be
entitled to disclose such financial statements or other information to its
Lender, to any present or prospective principal of or investor in Landlord, or
to any prospective Lender or purchaser of the Building, the Project or any
portion thereof or interest therein. Any such financial statement or other
information which is marked "confidential" or "company secrets" (or is otherwise
similarly marked by Tenant) shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed by
Landlord to any
26.
third party except as specifically provided in this Article, unless the same
becomes a part of the public domain without the fault of Landlord.
13.8 TRANSFER BY LANDLORD: Landlord and its successors in interest shall
have the right to transfer their interest in the Building, the Project, or any
portion thereof at any time and to any person or entity. In the event of any
such transfer, the Landlord originally named herein (and in the case of any
subsequent transfer, the transferor), from the date of such transfer, (i) shall
be automatically relieved, without any further act by any person or entity, of
all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder
which may accrue after the date of such transfer and (ii) shall be relieved of
all liability for the performance of the obligations of the Landlord hereunder
which have accrued before the date of transfer if its transferee agrees to
assume and perform all such prior obligations of the Landlord hereunder. Tenant
shall attorn to any such transferee. After the date of any such transfer, the
term "Landlord" as used herein shall mean the transferee of such interest in the
Building or the Project.
13.9 FORCE MAJEURE: The obligations of each of the parties under this
Lease (other than the obligation to pay money) shall be temporarily excused if
such party is prevented or delayed in performing such obligation by reason of
any strikes, lockouts or labor disputes; inability to obtain labor, materials,
fuels or reasonable substitutes therefore; governmental restrictions,
regulations, controls, action or inaction; civil commotion; inclement weather,
fire or other acts of God; or other causes (except financial inability) beyond
the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform (including acts or
omissions of the other party for a period equal to the period of any such
prevention, delay or stoppage.
13.10 NOTICES: Any notice required or desired to be given by a party
regarding this Lease shall be in writing and shall be personally served, or in
lieu of personal service may be given by: (i) delivery by Federal Express,
United Parcel Service or similar commercial service, (ii) electronic facsimile
transmission, or (iii) by depositing such notice in the United States mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the other party as follows:
A. If addressed to Landlord, to Landlord at its Address for Notices
(as set forth in Article 1).
B. If addressed to Tenant, to Tenant at its Address for Notices (as
set forth in Article 1).
Any notice given by registered mail shall be deemed to have been given on the
third business day after its deposit in the United States mail. Any notice given
by certified mail shall be deemed given on the date receipt was acknowledged to
the postal authorities. Any notice given by mail other than registered or
certified mail shall be deemed given only if received by the other party, and
then on the date of receipt. In the event of notice by electronic facsimile
transmission or commercial carrier, notice shall be deemed received on the date
of confirmation documented by the transmission or carrier. Each party may, by
written notice to the other in the manner aforesaid, change the address to which
notices addressed to it shall thereafter be mailed.
13.11 ATTORNEYS' FEES: In the event any party shall bring any action,
arbitration proceeding or legal proceeding alleging a breach of any provision of
this Lease to recover rent, to terminate this Lease, or to enforce, protect,
determine or establish any term or covenant of this Lease or rights or duties
hereunder of either party, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
from the non-prevailing party as a part of such action or proceeding, or in a
separate action for that purpose brought within one year from the determination
of such proceeding, reasonable attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, court costs
and other reasonable expenses incurred by the prevailing party. In the event
that Landlord shall be required to retain counsel to enforce any provision of
this Lease (see attached), and if Tenant shall thereafter cure (or desire to
cure) such default, Landlord shall be conclusively deemed the prevailing party,
and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all attorneys' fees, expert witness fees, court
costs and other reasonable expenses so incurred by Landlord promptly upon
demand. Landlord may enforce this provision by either (i) requiring Tenant to
pay such fees and costs as a condition to curing its default or (ii) bringing a
separate action to enforce such payment, it being agreed by and between Landlord
and Tenant that Tenant's failure to pay such fees and costs upon demand shall
constitute a breach of this Lease in the same manner as a failure by Tenant to
pay the Base Monthly Rent, giving Landlord the same rights and remedies as if
Tenant failed to pay the Base Monthly Rent.
27.
13.12 DEFINITIONS: Any term that is given a special meaning by any
provision in this Lease shall, unless otherwise specifically stated, have such
meaning whenever used in this Lease or in any Addenda or amendment hereto. In

to tax or levy assessments, which are levied or assessed for whatever reason
against the Project or any portion thereof, or Landlord's interest therein, or

of the Project and located thereon, or Landlord's business of owning, leasing or

interest therein or (ii) on or measured by the gross receipts, income or rentals

E. TENANT'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE: The term "Tenant's Proportionate
Share" or "Tenant's Share", as used with respect to an item pertaining to the
Building, shall each mean that percentage obtained by dividing the leasable
square footage contained within the Leased Premises (as set forth in Article 1)
by the total leasable square footage contained within the Building as the same
from time to time exists or, as used with respect to an item pertaining to the
Project, shall each mean that percentage obtained by dividing the leasable
square footage contained within the Leased Premises (as set forth in Article 1)
by the total leasable square footage contained within the Project as the same
from time to time exists, unless, as to any given item, such a percentage

29.
13.13 GENERAL WAIVERS: One party's consent to or approval of any act by the
other party, requiring the first party's consent or approval shall not be deemed
to waive or render unnecessary the first party's consent to or approval of any
subsequent similar act by the other party. No waiver of any provision hereof or
any breach of any provision hereof shall be effective unless in writing and
signed by the waiving party. The receipt by Landlord of any rent or payment with
or without knowledge of the breach of any other provision hereof shall not be
deemed a waiver of any such breach. No waiver of any provision of this Lease
shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless such waiver specifically states so in
writing and is signed by both Landlord and Tenant. No delay or omission in the
exercise of any right or remedy accruing to either party upon any breach by the
other party under this Lease shall impair such right or remedy or be construed
as a waiver of any such breach theretofore or thereafter occurring. The waiver
by either party of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be deemed
to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions
herein contained.
13.14 MISCELLANEOUS: Should any provision of this Lease prove to be invalid
or illegal, such invalidity or illegality shall in no way affect, impair or
invalidate any other provision hereof, and such remaining provisions shall
remain in full force and effect. Time is of the essence with respect to the
performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a
factor. Any copy of this Lease which is executed by the parties shall be deemed
an original for all purposes. This Lease shall, subject to the provisions
regarding assignment, apply to and bind the respective heirs, successors,
executors, administrators and assigns of Landlord and Tenant. The term "party"
shall mean Landlord or Tenant as the context implies. If Tenant consists of more
than one person or entity, then all members of Tenant shall be jointly and
severally liable hereunder. This Lease shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the Laws of the State in which the Leased Premises are located.
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. The captions used in this Lease are for convenience only and
shall not be considered in the construction or interpretation of any provision
hereof. 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. The terms "must", "shall", "will" and "agree" are
mandatory. The term "may" is permissive. When a party is required to do
something by this Lease, it shall do so at its sole cost and expense without
right of reimbursement from the other party unless specific provision is made
therefore. Where Tenant is obligated not to perform any act or is not permitted
to perform any act, Tenant is also obligated to restrain any others reasonably
within its control, including agents, invitees, contractors, subcontractors and
employees, from performing said act. Landlord shall not become or be deemed a
partner or a joint venturer with Tenant by reason of any of the provisions of
this Lease.

New Sections
15: 1. Design and Construction of Improvements in and about the Leased
---------------------------------------------------------------
Premises ("Tenant Improvements"): Landlord agrees to construct within, under,
- --------------------------------
and above the Building housing the Leased Premises certain "Tenant Improvements"
(or "Interior Improvements"). The Tenant Improvements shall be similar in type
and quality to the general purpose interior improvements previously installed by
Landlord in the building. Landlord shall install interior finishes including
carpet, paint, tile, acoustical tile ceiling, floor and wall cover, doors and
hardware all with a quality and color similar to those previously installed in
the building. Subject to Landlord's reasonable approval Tenant shall have the
flexibility to design a floor plan that suits Tenant's needs so long as Tenant's
plan preserves the general purpose nature of the building.
The term "general purpose improvements" is intended to mean those improvements
(and the configuration of such improvements) that can be used by a majority of
users who have or are likely to locate in Landlord's building. Special purpose
improvements include but are not limited to the following: raised computer
floors, compressed air systems, gas or liquid distribution systems, haylon fire
extinguishing systems, excess or redundant HVAC equipment or distribution
systems, flammable or solvent storage or waste systems, special electrical
systems (anything other than duplex plugs on office walls), lighting levels in
excess of Title 24 limitations, redundant or backup electrical power, telephone
systems, alarm systems, public address systems, fire sprinkler monitoring
equipment, computer cabling, burn in rooms, sound insulated rooms, plumbing
other than for domestic use, special cabinetry, clean rooms, window covering,
moveable partitions, equipment used in eating or food handling facilities,
materials (or the arrangement of materials) that are unique to one segment of
users (such as semiconductor manufacturers), the connection of Tenant's
equipment to building HVAC, electric, or plumbing systems ("fit up"), and the
like. Subject to Landlord's approval, Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall
install all required improvements and fixtures to provide for any Hazardous
Materials.
Landlord and Tenant shall agree upon a floor plan showing the improvements
Landlord shall construct for Tenant (the "Schematic Plan"). Landlord shall have
its architect prepare construction drawings and Landlord shall construct the
improvements shown on the plan. Tenant shall be responsible for the construction
of improvements not to be built by Landlord which improvements shall include
special purpose improvements, special electrical requirements, and the like.
Tenant may ask Landlord to construct Tenant's special purpose improvements in
which event Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of said improvements. In the
event that Tenant retains its own contractor to construct Tenant's special
purpose improvements Tenant's contract shall not interfere with or delay
Landlord's work.
16. Option to Renew: Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to renew the
Lease, for an additional term of five (5) years (the "Renewal Term") with the
option commencing on the expiration of the Lease (the "First Renewal
Commencement Date") and ending five (5) years thereafter (the "First Renewal
Expiration Date").
1. The lease of the Leased Premises for the Renewal Term shall be on the same
terms and conditions as set forth in the Lease, except:
A. That the rental for the Leased Premises during the Renewal Term shall
be as set forth below in Paragraph 3, and
B. That the Security Deposit shall be increased to the rental amount
determined in Paragraph 3 (the "Increased Security Deposit Amount").
2. Tenant shall notify Landlord of Tenant's exercise of its right to renew the
Lease for the Renewal Term only by giving to Landlord written notice not sooner
than eight (8) months prior to the Renewal Commencement Date and not later than
six (6) months prior to the Renewal Commencement Date (time is expressly of the
essence to Landlord). Any attempted exercise of
35.
this Option made other than within the time period stated or in the manner
stated shall be void and of no force or effect. In the event that Tenant does
not or is not entitled to exercise its option Tenant shall have no further
rights hereunder.
3. If Tenant shall have properly and timely exercised its right to extend the
term of the Lease, the term of the Lease shall be so extended for the Renewal
Term on the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease; provided, however,
the Base Monthly Rent for each month of the first thirty (30) months of the
Renewal Term shall be calculated as follows: The new Base Monthly Rent for the
Renewal Term shall be the greater of: (i) the Base Monthly Rent being paid by
Tenant to Landlord during the final full month of the final year of the initial
Lease Term, or (ii) the Then Market Rental Rate for the Lease Premises.
4. The term "Then Monthly Market Rental Rate" shall be determined by mutual
agreement between Landlord and Tenant or, in the event such agreement cannot be
made within ten (10) days from the date Tenant shall have exercised this option,
Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a real estate appraiser with at least
five (5) years full-time commercial/industrial appraisal experience in Santa
Clara County to appraise and determine the fair market monthly rental rate the
Leased Premises, in their then existing condition for the use specified in the
Lease could be leased for, on the same terms and conditions set forth in the
Lease, to a qualified tenant ready, willing and able to lease the Leased
Premises for a term equal to the Renewal Term.
If either party does not appoint an appraiser within ten (10) days after the
other party has given notice of the name of its appraiser, the other party can
then apply to the President of the Santa Clara County Real Estate Board or the
presiding Judge of the Superior Court of that County for the selection of a
second appraiser who meets the qualifications stated above. The failing party
shall bear the cost of appointing the second appraiser and of paying the second
appraiser's fee. The two appraisers shall attempt to establish the Then Monthly
Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises. If the two appraisers are unable to
agree on the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises within ten
(10) days after the second appraiser has been selected or appointed, then the
two appraisers shall attempt to select a third appraiser meeting the
qualifications stated above. If they fail to agree on a third appraiser, either
party can follow the above procedure for having an appraiser appointed by the
Real Estate Board or a judiciary. Each of the parties shall bear one-half (1/2)
of the cost of appointing the third appraiser and of paying the third
appraiser's fee. Unless the three appraisers are able to agree on the Then
Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises within ten (10) days after
the selection or appointment of the third appraiser, the two appraisal amounts
being calculated most closely together, after having discarded the appraisal
amount which most greatly varies from the other two appraisal amounts, shall be
added together then divided by two (2). The resulting rental amount shall be
defined as the Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the Leased Premises. In no
event, however, shall the resulting Then Monthly Market Rental Rate for the
Renewal Term be less than the Base Monthly Rent paid during the final full month
of the initial Lease Term.
The Base Monthly Rent shall be adjusted at the end of the thirtieth (30th)
month of the Renewal Term by multiplying the Base Monthly Rent for the thirtieth
(30th) month times a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Consumer Price
Index published immediately prior to the period including the thirtieth (30th)
month of the Renewal Term and the denominator of which shall be the Consumer
Price Index published immediately prior to the first (1st) month of the Renewal
Term. In no event, however, shall the Base Monthly Rent for the last thirty (30)
months of either Renewal Term be less than the Base Monthly Rent for the first
thirty (30) months of the Renewal Term.
16 Quiet Enjoyment: Landlord hereby warrants that it is the fee owner of the
Leased Premises, that it has authority to enter into this Lease, and that it
shall take all actions necessary, at its expense, to defend Tenant's right to
possession of the Leased Premises. Subject to the terms of this Lease and so
long as no default under this Lease shall have occurred and be continuing,
Landlord shall not take any action (nor permit any action by anyone rightfully
claiming by, through or under Landlord (other than Tenant)) that would adversely
affect Tenant's right to peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased
Premises for the Lease Term with respect to any matters arising from and after
the Commencement Date.
17 Right of First Refusal: Provided that Tenant is not in default of the terms
of this Lease, in the event that during the term of this Lease, or any extension
period hereof, any of the premises located at 48621 and/or 48625 Warm Springs
Boulevard, should become available for lease,
36.
Landlord hereby agrees to provide written notice thereof to Tenant, and Tenant
shall have a right of first refusal on such premises. Landlord shall give to
Tenant written notice of the terms upon which Landlord intends to lease the
space to another tenant. Tenant shall have three (3) business days from the date
of said notice to accept or reject Landlord's offer and, should Tenant fail to
respond within such period of time or refuse to lease the space, said offer
shall be deemed rejected. Upon rejection of Landlord's offer, expressly or by
lapse of the three (3) business day period, Landlord may proceed to rent said
space to a third party. In the event Tenant accepts Landlord's offer, Tenant
shall enter into a lease on the terms contained in Landlord's offer.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this First Addendum To
Lease with the intent to be legally bound thereby, to be effective as of the
date the second party signs this First Addendum To Lease.
