The foregoing Basic Lease Information is hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Lease. Each reference in this Lease to any of the Basic Lease Information shall mean the respective information hereinabove set forth and shall be construed to incorporate all of the terms provided under the particular paragraph pertaining to such information. In the event of any conflict between any Basic Lease Information and the Lease, the latter shall control. BASIC LEASE INFORMATION - Page i LANDLORD: --------- CARIBBEAN/GENEVA INVESTORS A CALIFORNIA PARTNERSHIP BY: [ILLEGIBLE] --------------------------------- ITS: [ILLEGIBLE] --------------------------------- TENANT: ------- MACROVISION CORPORATION --------------------------------------- A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION --------------------------------------- BY: /s/Robert J. Netter, Jr. --------------------------------- ITS: VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE --------------------------------- BASIC LEASE INFORMATION - Page ii LEASE AGREEMENT THIS LEASE AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 21st day of April, 1995, by and between CARIBBEAN/GENEVA INVESTORS, a California partnership, (herein called, "Landlord"), and MACROVISION CORPORATION, a CALIFORNIA CORPORATION (herein called "Tenant"). Upon and subject to the terms, convenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby hires from Landlord those premises (the "Premises") comprising the area substantially as outlined in red on attached EXHIBIT "A", in the building (hereinafter referred to as the "Building") specified in the Basic Lease Information attached hereto. The Building, together with the associated land, park, etc., may be more broadly referred to as "Project." 1. OCCUPANCY AND USE. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises for the purpose specified in the Basic Lease Information and for no other use or purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to grant or withhold consent to a proposed change of use in its sole discretion. 2. TERMS AND POSSESSION. (a) The term of this Lease (the "Term") shall be for the period specified in the Basic Lease Information (or until sooner terminated as herein provided). If Landlord, for any reason whatsoever, cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the date specified in the Basic Lease Information for the commencement of the Term, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom. In that event, however, Tenant shall not be liable for any Rent or Additional Charges (as hereinafter defined) until Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant. If Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant prior to the commencement of the Term, then the Term and Tenant's obligations hereunder shall commence on the date that it accepts such possession. If substantial completion of the Premises is delayed beyond the scheduled commencement of the Term for any reason other than a delay of Tenant or its agents, representatives or contractors, the Term, scheduled commencement date and scheduled expiration date shall be extended by the amount of such delay. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that substantial completion is delayed beyond June 30, 1995, then Tenant shall not be obligated to accept the Premises (and have the Term commence) until August 1, 1995. In the event that the delay in substantial completion beyond June 30, 1995 is related to the existing tenant, Lockheed, holding over in the Premises after April 30, 1995 and Tenant elects to accept the Premises prior to August 1, 1995, then Landlord shall credit toward Tenant's rent an amount equal to one day's rent and holdover penalties paid by Lockheed for the Premises during May of 1995 (estimated at $1,482 per day) for each day during July of 1995 for which Tenant is paying rent in both the Premises and its current premises at 700 El Camino Real East in Mountain View. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that substantial completion of the Premises has not occurred on or before September 30, 1995, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this lease by providing written notice to Landlord of its decision to terminate the lease no later than October 15, 1995. The preceding three provisions shall be subject to Force Majeure delays (as defined below) and Tenant delays, including, but not limited to, changes in the plans for Tenant's improvements. Force Majeure Delays shall mean and refer to a period of delay or delays encountered by Landlord because of: fire, earthquake, flooding or other acts of God; acts of the public enemy, riot, or insurrection; governmental regulations enacted after this Lease is executed and beyond the control of Landlord; strikes or boycotts, shortages of unique materials or any other industry or area-wide cause beyond the control of Landlord. The dates upon which the Term shall commence and terminate pursuant to this Paragraph 2(a) are herein called the "Commencement Date" and the "Expiration Date," respectively. (b) Completion of the improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the separate work letter ("Work Letter"), attached hereto as EXHIBIT "B". (c) The Premises shall be deemed completed and possession delivered when Landlord has substantially completed the work to be constructed or installed by Landlord ("Landlord's Work") pursuant to the provisions of the Work Letter subject only to the completion of items on Landlord's architect's punch list (and exclusive of the installation of all telephone and other communications facilities and equipment and other finish work or decorating work to be performed by or for Tenant). Tenant shall accept the Premises upon notice from Landlord that Landlord's Work has been so substantially completed (and provided that Tenant has had a reasonable opportunity to verify the same) and Tenant's obligation to pay rent hereunder shall commence on the earlier to occur of: (i) the date on which Landlord's Work is substantially completed; or (ii) the date on which Tenant takes possession of, or commences the operation of its business in, any or all of the Premises. However, in no event shall Tenant be required to accept the Premises prior to July 1, 1995. By occupying the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the same as suitable for the purpose herein intended and to have acknowledged that the same comply fully with Landlord's obligations, notwithstanding that certain "punch list" type items may not have been completed. However, acceptance of the space by, Tenant shall not relieve Landlord of its obligation to complete outstanding punch-list items which are Landlord's responsibility. Within five (5) days after written request of Landlord, Tenant agrees to Lease Agreement - Page 1 give Landlord a letter confirming the Commencement Date and certifying that Tenant has accepted delivery of the Premises (latent defects expected) and that the condition of the Premises complies with Landlord's obligations hereunder, or in the event the condition of the Premises does not comply, stating how it does not comply. The Premises shall be substantially completed when (i) Tenant has safe and direct access to the Premises from the sidewalk and parking area adjacent to the Building, (ii) the work to be completed by Landlord, pursuant to the Work Letter, is completed subject only to completion of items on Landlord's Architect's punch list, which do not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises, and (iii) a Certificate of Occupancy or its equivalent has been issued by the City or other applicable governmental agency for the Premises. Landlord shall use its best efforts to advise Tenant of the anticipated date of completion at least fifteen (15) days prior to such date, but the failure to give such notice shall not constitute a default hereunder by Landlord. Notwithstanding the above, at no cost to Tenant, in the event that substantial completion of the Premises occurs prior to June 26, 1996, Landlord shall provide Tenant with access to the space one (1) week prior to the commencement date to install partition systems, install phone and data cabling and otherwise set up the office. However, as much as is possible, Tenant's cabling contractors will work with Landlord's contractor to install cabling prior to this period if requested by Landlord. (d) Tenant shall, no later than thirty (30) days after the date of issuance by the appropriate governmental agency of a Certificate of Occupancy or its equivalent concerning the Improvements, go into actual physical occupancy of the Premises and open the Premises for business in accordance with the uses specified in Paragraph 4 below. Time is of essence. In the event Tenant fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Section 2(d), Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any loss or liability arising from Tenant's failure to occupy the Premises and open the Premises for business. 3. RENT; RENT ADJUSTMENTS; ADDITIONAL CHARGES FOR EXPENSES AND TAXES. (a) MONTHLY BASE RENT. Tenant shall pay to Landlord throughout the Term the annual rental specified in the Basic Lease Information ("Rent"), which sum shall be payable by Tenant in equal monthly installments on or before the first day of each month, in advance, with the first month's rent due upon execution of this Lease Agreement, in lawful money of the United States, without any prior demand therefor and without deduction or offset whatsoever, to Landlord or its managing agent at the address specified in the Basic Lease Information or to such other firm or to such other place as Landlord or its Managing Agent may from time to time designate in writing. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all charges and other amounts whatsoever as provided in this Lease ("Additional Charges") at the place where the Rent is payable and Landlord shall have the same remedies for a default in the payment of Additional Charges as for a default in the payment of Rent. If the Commencement Date should occur on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, or the Expiration Date should occur on a day other than first day of a calendar month, or the Expiration Date should occur on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the Rent and Additional Charges for such fractional month shall be prorated on a daily basis. (b) ADJUSTMENTS IN RENT. The monthly base rent under Paragraph 3(a) shall be adjusted at the beginning of months 37 and 73 of the Term reflect any increase in the cost of living. The amount of such increase in the monthly base rent, if any, shall be determined by multiplying $29,892.80 by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the most recent Consumer Price Index (as hereinafter defined) figure published prior to the Commencement Date, and the numerator of which shall be the most recent Consumer Price Index figure published prior to the date of such adjustment; provided, however, in no event shall the increase in Rent over the Rent in place immediately before the increase be less than ten percent (10%) nor greater than fifteen percent (15%). As used herein, the term "Consumer Price Index" shall mean the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index, All Urban Consumers, All Items, San Francisco-Oakland, California (1982-84 equals 100). If, during the Term, the aforesaid Index is no longer published, Landlord shall, for the purposes of computation of any adjustments in Rent, substitute such other Index as is then generally recognized as most comparable to the aforementioned Index and accepted for similar determinations. Should Landlord lack sufficient data to make the determination specified in this Paragraph 3(b) on the date of any such adjustment, Tenant shall continue to pay the monthly Rent payable immediately prior to such adjustment date. As soon as Landlord obtains the necessary data, it shall determine the Rent payable from and after such adjustment date and notify Tenant of the adjustment in writing. If the monthly Rent for the period following such adjustment date exceeds the amount previously paid by Tenant for such period, Tenant shall forthwith pay the difference to Landlord. (c) ADDITIONAL CHARGES FOR EXPENSES AND TAXES. (1) For purposes of this Paragraph 3(c), the following terms shall have the meanings hereinafter set forth: (A) "Tax Year" shall mean each twelve (12) consecutive month period commencing January 1st of the calendar year during which the Commencement Date of this Lease occurs, provided that Landlord, upon notice to Tenant, may change the Tax Year from time to time to any other twelve (12) consecutive month period and, in the event of any such change, Tenant's Share of Lease Agreement - Page 2 Real Estate Taxes (as hereinafter defined) shall be equitably adjusted for the Tax Years involved in any such change. (B) "Tenant's Share" shall mean the percentage figure so specified in the Basic Lease Information. (C) "Real Estate Taxes" shall mean all taxes, assessments and charges levied upon or with respect to the Project or any personal property of Landlord used in the operation of thereof, or Landlord's interest in the Project or such personal property. Real Estate Taxes shall include, without limitation, all general real property taxes and general and special assessments, charges, fees or assessments for transit, housing, police, fire or other governmental services or purported benefits to the Building, service payments in lieu of taxes, and any tax, fee or excise on the act of entering into this Lease, or any other lease of space in the Building, or on the use or occupancy of the Building or any part thereof, or on the rent payable under any lease or in connection with the business of renting space in the Building, that are now or hereafter levied or assessed against Landlord by the United States of America, the State of California, or any political subdivision, public corporation, district or any other political or public entity, and shall also include any other tax, fee or other excise, however described, that may be levied or assessed as a substitute for, or as an addition to, in whole or in part, any other Real Estate Taxes, whether or not now customary or in the contemplation of the parties on the date of this Lease. Real Estate Taxes shall not include franchise, transfer, inheritance or capital stock taxes or income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources unless, due to a change in the method of taxation, any of such taxes is levied or assessed against Landlord as a substitute for, or as an addition to, in whole or in part, any other tax that would otherwise constitute a Real Estate Tax. Real Estate Taxes shall also include reasonable legal fees, costs and disbursements incurred in connection with proceedings to contest, determine or reduce Real Estate Taxes (such proceedings to be those from which a reasonable person would anticipate that savings would actually result and with which Tenant reasonably agrees). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Tenant shall not be responsible for increases in Real Estate Taxes which are related to an increase in the assessed value of the property in excess of the "Agreed Upon Assessed Value." The Agreed Upon Assessed Value shall be $4,567,000 for the period from July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995, and shall increase at a rate of five percent (5%) during each succeeding twelve (12) month period. (D) "Expenses" shall mean the total direct costs and reasonable expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with the management, operation, maintenance and repair of the Building, including, without limitation (i) the cost of air conditioning, electricity, steam, heating, mechanical, ventilating, elevator systems and all other utilities and the cost of supplies and equipment and maintenance and service contracts in connection therewith; (ii) the cost of repairs and general maintenance and cleaning; (iii) the cost of fire, extended coverage, boiler, sprinkler, public liability, property damage, rent, earthquake (if available at commercially reasonable rates) and other insurance; (iv) fees, charges and other costs, including management fees, consulting fees, legal fees (which are allowed elsewhere in the Lease) and accounting fees, of all independent contractors engaged by Landlord directly related to the operation of the Building or reasonably charged by Landlord if Landlord performs management services in connection with the Building; (v) the cost of any membership fees, expenses or charges imposed by any owner's or tenant's association created to manage and/or maintain the common areas or public areas of the Project in which the Building is located and the Building's Share of all costs of such common or public area management and maintenance; (vi) the cost of any capital improvements made to the Building after completion of its construction as a labor saving device or to effect other economies in the operation or maintenance of the Building (from which a reasonable person would anticipate that savings would actually result and with which Tenant agrees), or that are made to the Building after the date of this Lease and are required under any governmental law or regulation that was not applicable to the Building at the time that permits for the construction thereof of Tenant's improvements were obtained, such cost to be amortized over such reasonable period as defined under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), together with interest on the unamortized balance at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or such higher rate as may have been paid by Landlord on funds borrowed for the purpose of constructing such capital improvements; and (viii) any other reasonable expenses of any other kind whatsoever reasonably incurred in managing, operating, maintaining and repairing the Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Expenses shall not include (aa) the initial construction cost of the Project or real property on which the Building is located; (bb) the cost of providing tenant improvements to Tenant or any other tenant; (cc) debt service (including, but without limitation, interest, principal and any impound payments) required to be made on any mortgage or deed of trust recorded with respect to the Building and/or the real property on which the Building is located other than debt service and financing charges imposed pursuant to Paragraph 3(c)(1)(D)(vi) above; (dd) the cost of special services, goods or materials provided to any tenant, (ff) the portion of a management fee paid to Landlord or affiliate in excess of two percent (2%) of Rent and Additional Charges; costs to maintain the Building's foundations, exterior walls, and structural roof. In no event shall Landlord be entitled to collect in excess of one hundred percent Lease Agreement - Page 3 (100%) of the total Expenses from all of the tenants in the Building including Tenant. All costs and expenses shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which shall be consistently applied (with accruals appropriate to Landlord's business). Expenses shall not include specific costs incurred for the account of, separately billed to and paid by specific tenants. (E) "Expense Year" shall mean each twelve (12) consecutive month period commencing January 1 of the calendar year during which the Commencement Date of the Lease occurs, provided that Landlord, upon notice to Tenant, may change the Expense Year from time to time to any other twelve (12) consecutive month period, and, in the event of any such change, Tenant's Share of Expenses shall be equitably adjusted for the Expense Years involved in any such change. (2) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Charges one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's Share of Real Estate Taxes for each Tax Year on or before the first day of each month during such Tax Year, in advance, in an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord and billed by Landlord to Tenant, and Landlord shall have the right initially to determine monthly estimates and to revise such estimates from time to time. With reasonable promptness after Landlord has received the tax bills for any Tax Year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement (herein called "Landlord's Tax Statement") setting forth the amount of Real Estate Taxes for such Tax Year, and Tenant's Share thereof. If the actual Real Estate Taxes for such Tax Year exceed the estimated Real Estate Taxes paid by Tenant for such Tax Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual Real Estate Taxes within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of Landlord's Tax Statement, and if the total amount paid by Tenant for any such Tax Year shall exceed the actual Real Estate Taxes for such Tax Year, such excess shall be credited against the next installment of Real Estate Taxes due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder. (3) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Charges one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's Share of the Expenses for each Expense Year on or before the first day of each month of such Expense Year, in advance, in an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord and billed by Landlord to Tenant, and Landlord shall have the right initially to determine monthly estimates and to revise such estimates from time to time. With reasonable promptness after the expiration of each Expense Year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a statement (herein called "Landlord's Expense Statement"), setting forth in reasonable detail the Expenses for such Expense Year and Tenant's Share thereof. If the actual Expenses for such Expense Year exceed the estimated Expenses paid by Tenant for such Expense Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the amount paid by Tenant and the actual Expenses within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of Landlord's Expense Statement, and if the total amount paid by Tenant for any such Expense Year shall exceed the actual Expenses for such Expense Year, such excess shall be credited against the next installment of the estimated Expenses due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days, unless Tenant is delinquent on its rent. (4) To the extent any item of Real Estate Taxes or Expenses is payable by Landlord in advance of the period to which it is applicable (e.g. insurance), Landlord may (i) include Tenant's share of such items in Landlord's estimate for periods prior to the date such item is payable by Landlord and (ii) to the extent Landlord has not collected the full amount of such item prior to the date such item is payable by Landlord, Landlord may include Tenant's Share of the balance of such full amount in a revised monthly estimate for additional charges. If the Commencement Date or Expiration Date shall occur on a date other than the first day of a Tax Year and/or Expense Year, Tenant's share of Real Estate Taxes and Expenses, for the Tax Year and/or Expense Year in which the Commencement Date occurs shall be prorated. (5) Within ninety (90) days after receipt of any Expense Statement or Tax Statement from Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to examine Landlord's books and records relating to such Expense Statements and Tax Statements, or cause an independent audit thereof to be conducted by an accounting firm to be selected by Tenant and subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord. (d) LATE CHARGES. Tenant recognizes that late payment of any Rent or Additional Charges will result in administrative expenses to Landlord, the extent of which additional expense is extremely difficult and economically impractical to ascertain. Tenant therefore agrees that if any Rent or Additional Charges remain unpaid ten (10) days after the amount is due and written notice has been given, the amount of such unpaid Rent or Additional Charges shall be increased by a late charge to be paid to Landlord by Tenant in an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the amount of the delinquent Rent or Additional Charges. After the initial late charge is imposed for Rent, Additional Charges and other outstanding amounts for any specific month, late charges on the Rent, Additional Charges and other outstanding amounts for that specific month shall accrue interest during future months at an annualized rate of Prime rate (as set by the Bank of America) plus five percent (5%) until paid to Landlord. Tenant agrees that such amount is a reasonable estimate of the loss and expense to be suffered by Landlord as a result of such late payment by Tenant and may be charged by Landlord to defray such loss and expense. The provisions of this Paragraph 3(d) in no way relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay Rent or Additional Charges on or before the date on which they Lease Agreement - Page 4 are due, nor do the terms of this Paragraph 3(d) in any way affect Landlord's remedies pursuant to Paragraph 19 in the event any Rent or Additional Charges are unpaid after the date due. 4. RESTRICTIONS ON USE. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will obstruct or interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or the Project or injure or annoy them, nor use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall Tenant cause or maintain or permit any nuisance in, on or about the Premises. Tenant shall not commit or suffer the commission of any waste in, on or about the Premises. 5. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation, including all Environmental Laws as hereinafter defined in Paragraph 42, relating to the use of the Premises now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises or bring or keep anything therein which will in any way increase the rate of any insurance upon the Project (unless Tenant agrees to pay for such increases) or any of its contents or cause a cancellation of such insurance or otherwise affect such insurance in any manner, and Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may hereafter be in force including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws and with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted relating to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises, excluding structural changes not related to or affected by Tenant's unique use of the Premises or alterations or improvements made by or for Tenant or Tenant's acts. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in an action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has so violated any such law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of such violation as between Landlord and Tenant. 6. ADDITIONAL ALTERATIONS. After completion of the improvements described in or contemplated by the Work Letter, Tenant shall not make or suffer to be made any additional alterations, additions or improvements ("Alterations") in, on or to the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord (excepting painting, carpeting, wallcovering, light fixtures, electrical outlets, other communications ports and computer wiring, cabinets and bookshelves, and warehouse racks which are consistent with improvements and finishes previously approved by Landlord); and any Alterations in, on or to the Premises, except for Tenant's movable furniture and equipment (including equipment such as shelving, antennas, satellite dishes or other similar equipment typically bolted down for safety purposes), shall immediately become Landlord's property and, at the end of the Term, shall remain on the Premises without compensation to Tenant. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to Alterations that (i) do not affect the structure of the Building or its electrical, plumbing, HVAC, security or other systems, (ii) are not visible from the exterior of the Premises, and (iii) are consistent with Tenant's permitted use hereunder. In the event Landlord consents to the making of any Alterations by Tenant, the same shall be made by Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, in accordance with plans and specifications reasonably approved by Landlord, and any contractor or person selected by Tenant to make the same must first be reasonably approved in writing by Landlord or, at Landlord's option, the Alterations shall be made by Landlord for Tenant's account and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the competitively bid cost thereof (including a reasonable charge for Landlord's overhead) within twenty (20) days after receipt of a statement from Landlord therefor. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, Tenant shall upon demand by Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, forthwith and with all due diligence remove any Alterations made by or for the account of Tenant, designated by Landlord to be removed (provided, however, that upon the written request of Tenant prior to installation of such Alterations, Landlord shall advise Tenant at that time whether or not such Alterations must be removed upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease), and Tenant shall forthwith and with all due diligence, at its sole cost and expense, repair and restore the Premises to its original condition, subject to normal wear and tear and the rights and obligations of Tenant concerning casualty damage pursuant to Paragraph 20. 7. REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE. (a) Landlord shall be responsible for the following repair and maintenance obligations: (i) maintenance and repair of the exterior, roof and structural portions of the Building, (ii) repairs and maintenance of the Building systems for electrical, mechanical, HVAC or plumbing and all controls appurtenant thereto, and (iii) parking areas, courtyards, sidewalks, entry ways, lawns, landscaping and other similar facilities of the Project. In the event that Tenant desires to directly manage the maintenance of the mechanical and HVAC systems or the plumbing and all controls appurtenant thereto, then Landlord agrees to not unreasonably withhold its approval so long as Tenant adequately maintains such equipment, as Lease Agreement - Page 5 reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant shall have the authority to communicate directly with Landlord's roof maintenance company. In emergency situations, Tenant shall have the authority to contact directly any venders approved by Landlord and order repairs. In the event that Landlord fails to pursue its duties as noted above within thirty (30) days of written request from Tenant, excepting structural changes, then Tenant shall have the right to contact any venders approved by Landlord and directly contract for said repairs and maintenance provided that Tenant agrees to pay for the cost of said repairs and maintenance. (b) Tenant shall maintain and repair the interior portion of the Premises and any additional tenant improvements, alterations or additions installed by or on behalf of Tenant within the Premises, however, excluding any portions thereof which are structural in nature or which are a part of the electrical, mechanical, HVAC or plumbing systems of the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for the expense of installation, operation, and maintenance of its telephone and other communications cabling from the point of entry into the Building to the Premises and throughout the Premises; though Landlord shall have the right to perform such work on behalf of Tenant in Building Common Areas. Tenant hereby waives and releases its right to make repairs at Landlord's expense under Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. In addition, Tenant hereby waives and releases its right to terminate this Lease under Section 1932(1) of the California Civil Code or under any similar law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect. If Tenant fails after ten (10) days' written notice by Landlord to proceed with due diligence to make repairs required to be made by Tenant, the same may be made by Landlord at the expense of Tenant and the expenses thereof incurred by Landlord shall be reimbursed immediately as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after submission of a bill or statement therefor. (c) The purpose of Section 7(a) and 7(b) is to define the obligations of Landlord and Tenant to perform various repair and maintenance functions; the allocation of the costs therefore are covered under this Section 7(c) and Section 3. Tenant shall bear the full cost of repairs or maintenance interior or exterior, excluding structural changes, to preserve the Premises and the Building in good working order and condition, arising out of (i) the performance or existence of any alteration or modification to the Premises made by Tenant; (ii) the installation, use or operation of Tenant's property or fixtures; (iii) the moving of Tenant's property or fixtures in or out of the Building or in and about the Premises; or (iv) the acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or any person claiming or acting through or under Tenant, or any of its servants, employees, contractors, agents, visitors, or licensees, or the use or occupancy or manner of use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any such person. (d) Except as provided in Paragraph 20, there shall be no abatement of Rent with respect to, and except for Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord shall not be liable for any injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from, any repairs, maintenance, alteration or improvement in or to any portion of the Building, including the Premises, or in or to the fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. 8. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens arising out of any work performed, material furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall not, within ten (10) days following the imposition of any such lien, cause the same to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond, Landlord shall have, in addition to all other remedies provided herein and by law, the right, but not the obligation, to cause the same to be released by such means as it shall deem proper, including payment of the claim giving rise to such lien. All such sums paid by Landlord and all expenses incurred by it in connection therewith shall be considered Additional Charges and shall be payable to it by Tenant on demand with interest at the maximum rate permitted by law. Landlord shall have the right at all times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices permitted or required by law, or which Landlord shall deem proper, for the protection of Landlord, the Premises, the Building and any other party having an interest therein, from mechanics' and materialsmen's liens, and Tenant shall give notice to Landlord at least five (5) business days' prior notice of commencement of any construction on the Premises. 9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. (a) Tenant shall not directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation of law, sell, assign, encumber, pledge or otherwise transfer or hypothecate all or any part of the Premises or Tenant's leasehold estate hereunder (collectively, "Assignment"), or permit the Premises to be occupied by anyone other than the Tenant or sublet the Premises (collectively, "Sublease") or any portion thereof without Landlord's prior written consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Landlord. Without otherwise limiting the criteria upon which Landlord may withhold its consent to any proposed Sublease or Assignment, if Landlord withholds its consent where either (i) the proposed Subleasee's or Assignee's net Lease Agreement - Page 6 worth (according to generally accepted accounting principles) is less than the net worth of Tenant at the time this Lease is executed, or (ii) the proposed Sublessee's or Assignee's use of the Premises is not in compliance with the allowed Tenant's Use of the Premises as described in the Basic Lease Information, such withholding of consent shall be presumptively reasonable. If Landlord consents to the Sublease or Assignment, Tenant may thereafter enter into a valid Sublease or Assignment upon the terms and condition set forth in this Section 9. (b) If Tenant desires at any time to enter into an Assignment of this Lease or a Sublease of the Premises or any portion thereof, it shall first give written notice to Landlord of its desire to do so, which notice shall contain (i) the name of the proposed assignee, subtenant or occupant; (ii) the name of the proposed assignee's, subtenant, or occupant's business to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of the proposed Assignment or Sublease; and (iv) such financial information as Landlord may request concerning the proposed assignee, subtenant or occupant. (c) At any time within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's receipt of the notice specified in Paragraph 9(b), Landlord shall by written notice to Tenant elect to (i) sublease itself the portion of the Premises specified in Tenant's notice of intended Sublease; (ii) take an Assignment of Tenant's leasehold estate specified in Tenant's notice hereunder; (iii) terminate this Lease as to the portion (including all) of the Premises that is specified in Tenant's notice of intended Assignment, with a proportionate abatement in Rent and Additional Charges; (iv) consent to the Sublease or Assignment; or (v) disapprove the Sublease or Assignment. In the event Landlord elects to Sublease or take an Assignment from Tenant as described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the rent payable by Landlord shall be the lower of that set forth in Tenant's notice or the Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease at the time of the Assignment of Sublease (or a proportionate amount thereof representing the portion of the Premises subject to the Assignment or Sublease if less than the entire Premises is subject to the Assignment or Sublease). In the event Landlord elects any of the options set forth in clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) above, with respect to a portion of the Premises, Tenant shall at all times provide reasonable and appropriate access to such portion of the Premises and use of any common facilities, and Landlord shall have the right to use such portion of the Premises for any legal purpose in its sole discretion and the right to further assign or sublease the portion of the Premises subject to Landlord's election without the consent of Tenant. If Landlord consents to the Sublease or Assignment within said fifteen (15) day period, Tenant may thereafter within thirty (30) days after Landlord's consent, but not later than the expiration of said thirty (30) days, enter into such Assignment or Sublease of the Premises or portion thereof, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 9(b). Failure by Landlord to either consent or refuse such consent to a proposed assignment, encumbrance or sublease within the fifteen (15) day time period specified above shall be deemed to be Landlord's consent thereto. (d) No consent by Landlord to any Assignment or Sublease by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether arising before or after the Assignment or Sublease. The consent by Landlord to any Assignment or Sublease shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord's express written consent to any other Assignment or Sublease. Any Assignment or Sublease that is not in compliance with this Paragraph 9 shall be void and, at the option of Landlord, shall constitute a material default by Tenant under this Lease. The acceptance of Rent or Additional Charges by Landlord from a proposed assignee or sublessee shall not constitute the consent to such Assignment or Sublease by Landlord. (e) The following shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease: (i) any dissolution, merger, consolidation, or other reorganization of Tenant; and (ii) if the capital stock of Tenant is not publicly traded, the sale or transfer to one person or entity stock possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of Tenant's capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph 9, Tenant may enter into any of the following transfers (a "Permitted Transfer") without Landlord's prior written consent: (1) Tenant may assign its interest in the Lease to a corporation which results from a merger, consolidation or other reorganization, so long as the surviving corporation has a net worth immediately following such transaction that is equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such transaction; and (2) Tenant may assign this Lease to a corporation which purchases or otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, so long as such acquiring corporation has a net worth immediately following such transaction that is equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such transaction. (f) Each assignee, sublessee or other transferee, other than Landlord, shall assume, as provided in this Paragraph 9(f), all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of Rent and Additional Charges, and for the performance of all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant's part to be performed for Lease Agreement - Page 7 the Term; provided, however, that the assignee, sublessee, mortgagee, pledgee or other transferee shall be liable to Landlord for rent only in the amount set forth in the Assignment or Sublease. No Assignment shall be binding on Landlord unless the assignee or Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a counterpart of the Assignment and an instrument in recordable form that contains a covenant of assumption by the assignee satisfactory in substance and form to Landlord, consistent with the requirements of this Paragraph 9(f), but the failure or refusal of the assignee to execute such instrument of assumption shall not release or discharge the assignee from its liability as set forth above. (g) Landlord will approve within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice the assignment of Tenant's interest in the lease or sublease of the Premises by Tenant to an affiliate provided that (i) the affiliate delivers to the Landlord concurrent with such assignment a written notice of the assignment and an assumption agreement whereby the affiliate assumes to perform, observe and abide by the terms, conditions, obligations, and provisions of this lease, and (ii) the entity remains an affiliate. No subletting or assignment by Tenant made pursuant to this Section shall relieve Tenant of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. As used herein, the term "affiliate" shall mean and collectively refer to a corporation or other entity in which Tenant, (the "parent") owns directly or indirectly at least a 51 percent ownership interest. 10. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATIONS. (a) Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any person or property (but excluding any consequential damages or loss of business) occurring in, on, or about the Building to the extent such injury or damage is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants, or employees ("Landlord Parties"). (b) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord Parties for any injury or damage to any person or property in or about the Premises by or from any cause whatsoever (other than the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord Parties, including Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct as related to construction or property management), and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, whether caused by water leakage of any character from the roof, walls, basement, or other portion of the Premises or the Building, or caused by gas, fire, oil, electricity, or any cause whatsoever, in, on, or about the Premises, the Building or any part thereof (other than that caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord parties). Tenant acknowledges that any casualty insurance carried by Landlord will not cover loss of income to Tenant or damage to the alterations in the Premises installed by Tenant or Tenant's personal property located within the Premises. Tenant shall be required to maintain the insurance described in subparagraph (d) below during the Term. (c) Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and defend Landlord against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any person or property whatsoever: (i) occurring in, on, or about the Premises; or (ii) occurring in, on, or about any other portion of the Project when such injury or damage shall be caused in whole or in part by the negligence or willful misconduct by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, or invitees ("Tenant Parties"), except to the extent caused by negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord Parties. Tenant further agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from, and defend Landlord against, any and all claims, losses, or liabilities (including damage to Landlord's property) arising from (x) any breach of this Lease by Tenant and/or (y) the conduct of any work or business of Tenant Parties in or about the Project, including, but not limited to any release, discharge, storage or use of any hazardous substance, hazardous waste, toxic substance, oil, explosives, asbestos, or similar material. (d) Tenant shall procure at its cost and expense and keep in effect during the Term the following insurance: (i) commercial general liability insurance including contractual liability with a minimum combined single limit of liability of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000). Such insurance shall name Landlord as an additional insured, shall specifically include the liability assumed hereunder by Tenant, and shall provide that it is primary insurance, and not excess over or contributory with any other valid, existing and applicable insurance in force for or on behalf of Landlord, and shall provide that Landlord shall receive thirty (30) days' written notice from the insurer prior to any cancellation or change of coverage; (ii) "all risk" property insurance (including without limitation, boiler and machinery (if applicable); sprinkler damage, vandalism and malicious mischief) on all leasehold improvements installed in the Premises by Tenant at its expense (if any), and on all Tenant's personal property. Such insurance shall be an amount equal to full replacement cost of the aggregate of the foregoing and shall provide coverage comparable to the coverage in the standard ISO All Risk form, when such form is supplemented with the coverages required above; (iii) worker's compensation insurance; and (iv) such other insurance as may be required by the law. Tenant shall deliver policies of such insurance or certificates thereof to Landlord on or before the Commencement Date, and thereafter at least thirty (30) days before the expiration dates of expiring policies; and, in the event Tenant shall fail to procure such insurance, or to deliver such policies or certificates, Landlord may, at its option, procure same for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Charges within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor. Lease Agreement - Page 8 (e) The provisions of this paragraph 10 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability occurring prior to such expiration or termination. 11. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Landlord and Tenant ("Claiming Party") each waive (i) their right against the other party ("Other Party") and any party who would have a claim against the Other Party, and (ii) any subrogation right of their insurance company, to recover for any damages in respect of injury to persons or property, or for loss of rents or business interruption, to the extent of receipt by the Claiming Party of proceeds of insurance in respect of such damages. Landlord and Tenant shall each obtain from their respective insurers under all policies of fire, theft, and other property insurance maintained by either of them at any time during the Term insuring or covering the Building or any portion thereof of its contents therein, a waiver of all rights of subrogation which the insurer of one party might otherwise, if at all, have against the other party, and Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify the other against any loss or expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, resulting from the failure to obtain such waiver. 12. SERVICES AND UTILITIES. (a) Landlord shall provide the maintenance and repairs described in paragraph 7(a), except for damage occasioned by the act of Tenant, which damage shall be repaired by Landlord at Tenant's expense. (b) Subject to the provisions elsewhere herein contained and to the rules and regulations of the Building, Tenant shall be responsible for arranging for, and direct payment of the cost of, garbage pickup, janitorial, water, electricity, gas, telephone and any and all other utilities and services; and, Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant's efforts to arrange such services. Tenant agrees at all times to cooperate fully with Landlord and to abide by all the reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system. (c) Tenant will not without the written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, use any apparatus or device in the Premises which, when used, puts an excessive load on the Building or its structure or systems. (d) Landlord shall not be in default hereunder or be liable for any damages directly or indirectly resulting from, nor shall the rental herein reserved be abated by reason of (i) the installation, use or interruption of use of any equipment in connection with the foregoing utilities and services; (ii) failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any services to be provided by Landlord when such failure or delay is caused by Acts of God or the elements, labor disturbances of any character, any other accidents or other conditions beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, or by the making of repairs or improvements to the Premises or to the Building; or (iii) the limitation, curtailment, rationing or restriction on use of water or electricity, gas or any other form of energy or any other service or utility whatsoever serving the Premises or the Building. Furthermore, Landlord shall be entitled to cooperate voluntarily in a reasonable manner with the efforts of national, state or local governmental agencies or utilities suppliers in reducing energy or other resources consumption. 13. TENANTS CERTIFICATES. Tenant, at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) days from receipt of written notice from Landlord, will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord and, at Landlord's request, to any prospective tenant, purchaser, ground or underlying lessor or mortgagee of any part of the Building or the land upon which the Building is located or any other party acquiring an interest in Landlord, a certificate of Tenant in the form attached as EXHIBIT "D" and also containing any other information that may reasonably be required by any of such persons. It is intended that any such certificate of Tenant delivered pursuant to this Paragraph 13 may be relied upon by Landlord and any prospective tenant, purchaser, ground or underlying lessor or mortgage of any part of the Building or the land upon which the Building is located, or such other party. 14. HOLDING OVER. Any holding over after the expiration of the Term with the consent of Landlord shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month at one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Rent herein specified unless Landlord shall specify a different rent in its sole discretion, together with an amount estimated by Landlord for the monthly Rent and Additional Charges payable under this Lease, and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified so far as applicable. Any holding over without Landlord's consent shall constitute a default by Tenant and entitle Landlord to re-enter the Premises as provided in Paragraph 19. 15. SUBORDINATION. Without the necessity of any additional document being executed by Tenant for the purpose of effecting a subordination, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to: (i) all ground leases or underlying leases which may now exist or hereafter be executed affecting the Building or the land upon which the Building is situated or both; and (ii) the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust which may now exist or hereafter be executed in any amount for which the Building, land, ground leases or underlying leases, or Landlord's interest or estate in any of said items, is specified as security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to subordinate or cause to be subordinated any such ground leases or underlying leases or any such liens to this Lease. In the event that any ground lease or underlying lease terminates for any reason or any mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure is made for any reason, Tenant shall, notwithstanding any Lease Agreement - Page 9 subordination, attorn to and become the Tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord at the option of such successor in interest, and Tenant shall be entitled to continue in possession of the Premises on the terms and conditions of this Lease if and for so long as Tenant fully performs all of its obligations hereunder. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon demand by Landlord and in the form requested by Landlord, any additional documents evidencing the priority or subordination of this Lease with respect to any such ground leases or underlying leases or the lien of any such mortgage or deed of trust so long as Tenant is provided with a reasonable non-disturbance provision. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute, deliver and record any such documents in the name of and on behalf of Tenant if Tenant has not executed the same within twenty (20) days after Landlord's written request. 16. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the rules and regulations attached to this Lease as EXHIBIT "C" and all reasonable modifications thereof and additions thereto from time to time put into effect by Landlord. Landlord shall not be responsible for the nonperformance by any other Tenant or occupant of the Building or the Project of any said rules and regulations. In the event of an express and direct conflict between the terms, covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease and those set forth in the rules and regulations, as modified and amended from time to time by Landlord, this Lease shall control. 17. RE-ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Except in the case of emergency and upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, Landlord reserves and shall at all times have the right to re-enter the Premises to inspect the same, to supply janitor service and any other service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants, to post notices of nonresponsibility or as otherwise required or allowed by this Lease or by law, and to alter, improve or repair the Premises and any portion of the Building and may for that purpose erect, use, and maintain scaffolding, pipes, conduits, and other necessary structures in and through the Premises where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed. Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance or other damage arising from Landlord's entry and reasonable acts pursuant to this Paragraph and Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement or reduction of rent or Additional Charges if Landlord exercises any rights reserved in this paragraph. Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby, except for Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to un-lock all of the doors, in upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults and safes, or special security areas (designated in advance), and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem necessary or proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to any portion of the Premises, and any entry to the Premises, or portion thereof obtained by Landlord by any of said means, or otherwise, shall not under any emergency circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises or any portions thereof. 18. INSOLVENCY OR BANKRUPTCY. The appointment of a receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or an assignment of Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or any action taken or suffered by Tenant under any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other debtor relief proceedings, whether now existing or hereafter amended or enacted, shall at Landlord's option constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant. Upon the happening of any such event or at any time thereafter, this Lease shall terminate five (5) days after written notice of termination from Landlord to Tenant. In no event shall this Lease be assigned or assignable by operation of law or by voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise and in no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other debtor relief proceedings. 19. DEFAULT. The failure to perform or honor any covenant, condition or representation made under this Lease shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant upon expiration of the appropriate grace period hereinafter provided. Tenant shall have a period of three (3) business days from the date of written notice from Landlord within which to cure any default in the payment of Rent or Additional Charges. Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of written notice from Landlord within which to cure any other default under this Lease; provided, however, that with respect to any default other than the payment of Rent or Additional Charges that cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, the default shall not be deemed to be uncured if Tenant commences to cure within thirty (30) days from Landlord's notice and continues to prosecute diligently the curing thereof. Upon an uncured default of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity: (a) The rights and remedies provided by California Civil Code, Section 1951.2, including but not limited to, recovery of the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and Additional Charges for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of rental loss for the same period that the Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided, as computed pursuant to subsection (b) of said Section 1951.2; Lease Agreement - Page 10 (b) The rights and remedies provided by California Civil Code, Section 1951.4, that allows Landlord to continue this Lease in effect and to enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover Rent and Additional Charges as they become due, for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession; provided, however, if Landlord elects to exercise its remedies described in this Paragraph 19(b) and Landlord does not terminate this Lease, and if Tenant requests Landlord's consent to an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises at such time as Tenant is in default, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such assignment or sublease. Acts of maintenance or preservation, efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon Landlord's initiative to protect its interest under this Lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's rights to possession; (c) The right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant in accordance with applicable law; (d) The right and power, as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, to enter the Premises and remove therefrom all persons and property and, to store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant, and to sell such property and apply such proceeds therefrom pursuant to applicable California law. Landlord, as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, may from time to time sublet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may extend beyond the Term) and at such rent and such other terms as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises. Upon each such subletting, (i) Tenant shall be immediately liable to pay to Landlord, in addition to indebtedness other than Rent and Additional Charges due hereunder, the cost of such subletting and such reasonable alterations and repairs incurred by Landlord and the amount, if any, by which the Rent and Additional Charges due hereunder for the period of such subletting (to the extent such period does not exceed the Term) exceeds the amount to be paid as Rent and Additional Charges for the Premises for such period; or (ii) at the option of Landlord, rents received from such subletting shall be applied first, to payment of any indebtedness other than Rent and Additional Charges due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, second, to the payment of any costs of such subletting and of such alterations and repairs, third, to payment of Rent and Additional Charges due, and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent and Additional Charges as the same becomes due hereunder. If Tenant has been credited with any rentals to be received by such subletting under option (i) and such rentals shall not be promptly paid to Landlord by the subtenant(s), or if such rentals received from such subletting under option (ii) during any month be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. For all purposes set forth in this paragraph (d), Landlord is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact for Tenant, with power of substitution. The taking possession of the Premises by Landlord, as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, shall not be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to Tenant. Notwithstanding any such subletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach; and, (e) The right to have receiver appointed for Tenant, upon application by Landlord, to take possession of the Premises and to apply any rental collected from the Premises and to exercise all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord as attorney-in-fact for Tenant pursuant to subparagraph (d) above. Landlord shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the date of written notice from Tenant within which to cure any default under this Lease; provided, however, that with respect to any default that cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, the default shall not be deemed to be uncured if Landlord commences to cure within thirty (30) days from Tenant's notice and continues to prosecute diligently the curing thereof. Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagee and/or Trust Deed Holders ("Mortgagee"), by Registered Mail, a copy of any Notice of Default served upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing, (by way of Notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise) of the address of such Mortgagee. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the Mortgagee shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary to cure such default shall be granted if within such thirty (30) days Mortgagee has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event the Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies are being diligently pursued. 20. DAMAGE BY FIRE, ETC. If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall forthwith repair the same, provided that such repairs can be made within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such damage under the laws and regulations of the federal, state and local governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereof. In such event, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect except that Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of Rent and Additional Charges while such repairs to be made hereunder by Landlord are being made. Such reduction of rent, if any, shall be based upon the proportion that the area of the Premises rendered untenantable by such damage bears to the total area of the Premises. Within twenty (20) days after the date of such damage, Landlord Lease Agreement - Page 11 shall notify Tenant whether or not such repairs can be made within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such damage and Landlord's determination thereof shall be binding on Tenant. If such repairs cannot be made within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such damage, Landlord shall have the option within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage either to: (i) notify Tenant of Landlord's intention to repair such damage and diligently prosecute such repairs, in which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the Rent and Additional Charges shall be reduced as provided herein; or (ii) notify Tenant of Landlord's election to terminate this Lease as of a date specified in such notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more that sixty (60)days after notice is given. In the event that such notice to terminate is given by Landlord, this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in such notice. If Landlord cannot make such repairs within one hundred eighty (180) days, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate the lease by providing written notice to Landlord of such termination within the later of thirty (30) days following Tenant's receipt of Landlord's notice of the time to repair or five (5) days after Landlord's notice of its intent to repair, or not to repair, the Premises. Such notice of intent to repair may be conditional upon Tenant's agreement not to terminate the lease. In case of termination by either event, the Rent and Additional Charges shall be reduced by a proportionate amount based upon the extent to which such damage interfered with the business carried on by Tenant in the Premises, and Tenant shall pay such reduced Rent and Additional Charges up to the date of termination. Landlord agrees to refund to Tenant any Rent and Additional Charges previously paid for any period of time subsequent to such date of termination. The repairs to be made hereunder by Landlord shall not include, and Landlord shall not be required to repair, any damage by fire or other cause to the property of Tenant or any repairs or replacements of any paneling, decorations, railings, floor coverings or any alterations, additions, fixtures or improvements installed on the Premises by or at the expense of Tenant. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1932.2, and Section 1933.4, of the Civil Code of California. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if a Major Casualty occurs with respect to any portion of the Building, and the net insurance proceeds obtained as a result of such casualty are ninety percent (90%) or a lesser percentage of the cost of restoration, rebuilding or replacement, then Landlord shall not be obligated to undertake such restoration, rebuilding or replacement unless Landlord elects to do so in writing.

If a part of the Premises shall be so taken or appropriated or conveyed and neither party hereto shall elect to terminate this Lease and the Premises have been damaged as a consequence of such partial taking or appropriation or conveyance, Landlord shall restore the Premises continuing under this Lease at Landlord's cost and expense; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to repair or restore any injury or damage to the property of Tenant or to make any repairs or restoration of any Alterations installed on the Premises by or at the expense of Tenant.

If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Tenant's Review Period ("Outside Agreement Date"), then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope their final proposal as to Fair Market Rental Value and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with subsections (a) through (e) below.

In the event Landlord fails to accept in writing such rental proposed by Tenant, then such proposal shall be deemed rejected, and Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon such Fair Market Rental Value, using their best good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Landlord's Review Period (which shall be, in such event, the "Outside Agreement Date" in lieu of the above definition of such date), then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope their final proposal as to Fair Market Rental Value and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with subsections (a) through (e) below.

Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall consult with such broker or lawyer as to his or her opinion as to Fair Market Rental Value prior to the appointment. The determination of the arbitrator shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Value for the Leased Premises is the closest to the actual Fair Market Value for the Leased Premises as determined by the arbitrator, taking into account the requirements of this Paragraph. Such arbitrator may hold such hearings and require such briefs as the arbitrator, in his or her sole discretion, determines is necessary. In addition, Landlord or Tenant may submit to the arbitrator with a copy to the other party within five (5) business days after the appointment of the arbitrator any market data and additional information that such party deems relevant to the determination of Fair Market Rental Value ("FMRV Data") and the other party may submit a reply in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of such FMRV Data.
